Lin Qingge listened quietly to Lin Zheng's narration, and it seemed that it took a long time to understand the meaning of his words.
"He designed such a big plan just to force Chu Nanfeng to go to the battlefield? Oh, does he think that if I were by Chu Nanfeng's side, he would stop him?"
Lin Zheng looked at her, unbearable flashing between his eyebrows: "You know very well that he was worried about your horoscope, so he designed such a game. Now that the edict about you being an imperial merchant has been issued, Chu Nanfeng is completely He was dragged into the battle situation he designed."
Royal merchant?
She almost forgot that she wanted such a title without even knowing it.
Now, the child is gone, Emperor Zhou is dead, and she has the title of Huangshang.
Trying to retract what happened before the confession is just nonsense because there is no evidence.
But with Chu Nanfeng's intelligence, how could he remain in confusion?
But... so what if he knew the truth?
The accumulation of too much hatred will completely dissipate the relationship over time.
When Chu Nanfeng really knew the truth, she was no longer the person he cared about.
In the end, it's just a matter of things and people.
wrong!
She suddenly looked at Lin Zheng: "What you just gave me was the antidote? He clearly said at the beginning that the last Nine Cold Lotus in the world has been rooted out."
"Indeed, but before that, he prepared two bottles of antidote."
"..."
How ridiculous that she believed such a ridiculous thing.
Lin Qingge has always thought of himself as smart, but he doesn't want to be so stupid that he becomes a pawn in the hands of others, and he still believes in it.
Thinking about it, she really laughed out loud, laughing at the absurdity of the world and even laughing at how stupid she was.
Su Yunting reached out and clasped her shoulders: "Qingge, calm down. If you are willing, I can take you to explain. Believe me, this matter can be explained clearly..."
"It's not necessary anymore."
She closed her eyes and seemed extremely tired: "Do you know what really made me want to leave him?"
Lin Zheng and Su Yunting both looked at her.
On that extremely pale face, only the corners of the lips exuded an abnormal scarlet color, and there was a slight smile at the corners, full of mockery.
"Because he is a general, a general who is powerful in the world with his sword. Will you stay with me and be a small businessman traveling around the country? I am happy, but what about him? I can't do it and ruin his dream. Just for your own dreams.”
A sentence that was like gibbering made the hearts of those who heard it sink heavily.
In the final analysis, she chose to give up from the beginning and accepted the result.
…
Zhou Chenghan ascended the throne as emperor, and Chu Nanfeng led an army to southern Xinjiang.
Su Lingxiu, the daughter of the Su family in Xili, married Zhou Chenghan. Due to the tight war, everything was kept simple.
Lin Qingge was in Wangyou Pavilion, so she naturally knew all this, but she didn't deliberately inquire about it.
As time went by, either Lin Zheng or Su Yunting warned the servants not to mention it in front of her.
Therefore, she did not know these little tidbits of information.
However, she still knew a lot about the outside world's concerns about the war in southern Xinjiang and the new emperor's difficulties.
After taking good care of her health, she decided to return to Yixiaotang, run the business well, and fulfill the dream of a rich woman.
But the dream was destroyed before it even started.
All kinds of people came to Yixiaotang one after another to find trouble, giving her no chance to run her business with peace of mind. Su Yunting wanted to come forward but was stopped by Lin Qingge.
"Forget it, some people don't want me to stay in the capital, so let's go."
Su Yunting couldn't believe it: "Chu Nanfeng is so small-minded? I'll go find him."
Lin Qingge shook his head: "How is that possible? He is on the battlefield, how can he care about such trivial matters."
"That's Zhou..."
"No." She still shook her head, "Now that he can leave the battlefield to Chu Nanfeng with peace of mind, the disputes in the court are still full of dangers. The most likely one is the late emperor who is already dead."
Su Yunting also thought about it: "He is still worried that you will reconcile with Chu Nanfeng. He cannot accept such a result, so he will drive you out of the capital. You can take out the edict to prove that you are an imperial merchant while you are alive. In this way... "
He said this and did not continue.
She smiled and continued: "I really made a deal with him and betrayed Chu Nanfeng."
Originally, there was a chasm between them that was even more sad than the Milky Way between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It was really hateful and terrifying that Emperor Zhou would go through such trouble before his death.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with leaving. I've wanted to walk around before, but now I finally have the chance."
…
When Lin Qingge left the capital, Lin Zheng and Su Yunting naturally accompanied her.
Along the way, she traveled around to relax her nerves, and finally had time to inquire about their trip to southern Xinjiang.
After learning that Su Nuannuan went to southern Xinjiang alone for her own safety and was killed, she shed tears.
She knew this fact when she came back from Lin Zheng without bringing back Su Nuannuan. After hearing the news, her heart still hurt, but she was glad that she was loved.
The company of Lin Zheng and Su Yunting made Lin Qingge's longing for Chu Nanfeng dilute a lot.
It was like they were marching in a hurry, leaving the carriage alone, taking her climbing mountains and wading in rivers, admiring the beauty of the world during the day, and falling asleep at night. How could they have time to feel sad about spring and autumn?
Until a year later, she took a break from her busy schedule to sit on a rocking chair in the yard and bask in the sun, and heard the maids passing by chatting.
"Have you heard? General Chu is getting married soon."
Lin Qingge's heart was hammered hard by her sudden words, and her breathing became heavy, but she tried her best to hold it back.
Sure enough, the maid immediately said: "Do you want to die? Master Jiu won't let you say it!"
"Hey, I just feel sorry for the lady."
"Let's go, Master Jiu will kill us if we let him know that we are talking about this around the lady!"
As their footsteps faded away, tears fell from the corners of Lin Qingge's eyes.
Do you regret it? But she has no right to regret it.
She was afraid that he would forget that she fell in love with someone else, but she still wanted the person he married to be loved by her.
As for her, she has to start a new life.
That night, Lin Qingge got drunk and cried hysterically, but no one was allowed to approach.
When she woke up the next day, she greeted all the cautious people with a smile, and decided to reopen the Smile Hall: "I, Lin Qingge, will open my own medicine hall in every corner of the Qingzhou continent!"
For the next five years, she fulfilled this promise every day.
She didn't want to rely on Lin Zheng and Su Yunting, so she opened store after store in southern Henan, the farthest place from the capital.
Six years after leaving Chu Nanfeng, she returned to the capital as the owner of Yixiao Pavilion.
