Chapter 196 Leaving Beijing

Su Wan was stared at by him, and suddenly she felt uncomfortable. She hooked her hair behind her ear with her fingers.

"Come here." Gu Huaizhi waved at her.

His eyebrows were smiling, his eyes were full of love, strong and straightforward, and he stood under the eaves waiting for his girl.

Su Wan pulled her skirt and walked towards him, suddenly feeling shy like a young girl running towards her lover.

"Have you eaten?" Gu Huaizhi stretched out two fingers and naturally held her collar.

"I have." Su Wan smelled the faint aroma of wine on him, which was not unpleasant, but rather mellow and intoxicating: "Have you drunk?"

Gu Huaizhi smiled: "Let's take a walk."

His body was better, so Su Wan would naturally not stop him from drinking. He did not answer, and did not ask again to spoil the fun.

The two walked side by side along the bluestone slabs, the breeze blowing on their faces, not feeling cold, but feeling peaceful in their hearts.

She enjoyed this moment very much.

"Su Jihong is dead." Gu Huaizhi suddenly spoke.

Su Wan was stunned, as if she had expected it.

"Father did it?"

Su Wan guessed that it was not him who did it, but he was also related to it.

"Yeah." He responded in a low voice, and said concisely: "The prince did it."

"Have you got the handle?" Su Wan tilted her head to look at him. Under the hazy moonlight, his outline was very deep, and his eyes were also deep, so deep that you couldn't see the bottom. Noticing her gaze, he tilted his head to look at her, and the dark color in his eyes faded away at once. With a smile, he was more sparse than the breeze and the moon. She was fascinated by him, "I'm leaving tomorrow, more than half a year, I really can't bear to leave you."

Gu Huaizhi was silent, did not answer the previous question, and held her hand, which was incredibly soft and delicate, "You can write to me."

"It will take two or three months to go to Xiliang. When my letter reaches you, I haven't received your reply yet, and you have already returned." Su Wan thought about the long separation, and her heart was empty. How nice it would be if he could go together?

He is needed to stay in the capital. Their trip to Xiliang was too hasty. His father had no time to arrange many things, so he was needed to deal with the aftermath.

"No." Gu Huaizhi chuckled: "I will write to you every day since the day you left. You will receive letters every day the next day when you arrive in Xiliang." He rubbed her hand and kissed her lips lightly, with a faint smile in his eyes: "What do you think?"

Su Wan's heartstrings were plucked, biting her lower lip, and said softly: "You are so busy that you go home very late, how can you have time to write to me? Do we write to each other?" How boring is that?

Writing letters is a back-and-forth, you ask and I answer, and then tell some things you encounter and your heart.

"After you receive the letter, write a reply to each letter, keep it and wait for yourself to bring it back, read it to me, and I will answer you one by one."

"You wish." Su Wan rolled her eyes. After being apart for so long, she received a letter from him every day. It is inevitable that she would write some sour words in her reply.

Read it in front of him, how embarrassing would it be?

He hugged her slender waist and leaned forward.

Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, his breath hit her face, his hands were also hot, he held her waist firmly, her throat was a little tight, but she didn't dodge.

He held her lips, and invaded her lips and tongue little by little. Su Wan's heart trembled slightly, and her hands couldn't help but grab the clothes on his waist, trying to respond to him.

Gu Huaizhi let go of Su Wan, and rubbed her lips gently for a while.

Su Wan leaned in his arms, her cheeks flushed, and her breathing was a little difficult.

"I'll send you away at midnight." Gu Huaizhi said reluctantly: "Have you packed your things?"

The time of leaving was early, Su Wan felt regretful, and didn't ask more questions. They might have other plans, for her safety.

"I've packed up. You're coming back so early today, are you here to see me off?" Su Wan hugged Gu Huaizhi tightly, "You have to wait for me to come back."

Gu Huaizhi didn't say anything, just rubbed her head: "You go first, Mo Yuan will escort you away, and then you will meet up with your father-in-law."

"I'll go first?" Su Wan raised her head suddenly, her brows knitted tightly, and said solemnly: "Father wants to be bait?"

"No." Gu Huaizhi shook his head: "The prince set an ambush, you travel together, the team is large, it will attract attention, separate actions must be secret."

Su Wan was skeptical, no other emotions, "I'm leaving now?"

Gu Huaizhi observed her face and saw that she was serious. He looked at the sky and whispered: "Okay, you leave Xiao Tao in the mansion, I will arrange someone else to take care of you."

Gu Huaizhi took her hand and walked into the house.

Su Wan had no objection. The person arranged by Gu Huaizhi must be martial arts, Xiao Tao is not martial arts, and it will be more dangerous to take her with her.

She only brought a box of clothes for changing, various poisons and antidotes, and silver needles.

Gu Huaizhi gave her a set of servant's clothes: "Change into them."

Su Wan's eyes changed, and she said nothing. She changed into the servant's clothes, combed her hair again, and then mixed with several servants and went out with Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng rode a horse, and the servants walked, and went straight to the embroidery building to get the clothes tailored for Su Wan.

Su Wan followed the servant into the shop, and the customers in the shop seemed to have been cleared out. Except for a few embroiderers and a servant, there was no one else.

The other servants moved things, and Su Wan was pushed into a corner by Luo Cheng and hid in the room where clothes were tried on.

The original servant in the embroidery building was very handsome and about the same height as her. He took her place to move things and left with Luo Cheng.

"Miss, change into it." The embroiderer brought in a set of clothes and helped Su Wan take off her servant's clothes: "Someone will come to buy clothes later, you go with them, Mo Yuan is waiting over there."

"Thank you." Su Wan changed her clothes quickly.

The embroiderer helped her comb a double bun, and she had already prepared things inside. She used a wet towel to remove her disguise and put on a new makeup.

After a while, a woman came to buy clothes. There was a huge procession, and she brought many maids, each of whom covered her face with a veil.

Su Wan was stuffed into the accompanying carriage by the embroiderer and followed to Hongxiu Tower.

"Miss Zhao'er, my master wants to see you." Someone stopped the woman.

Su Wan looked up and saw the woman pointing at her: "You, follow me to the carriage."

She lowered her head and got into the carriage with the woman.

There were two people in the carriage, one of whom was dressed the same as her.

"Miss, her name is Qing Yuan, and she will take care of you along the way. It's late at night, so I won't delay your journey any longer." Zhao'er didn't introduce much, pulled her clothes loose, wiped off the lipstick on her lips, and smudged some on her chin, creating a scene after a charming scene, and took another person down.

It was the time when the brothel business was good at night. When Zhao'er went down like this, other people saw it and laughed meaningfully, without thinking much about anything else.

Su Wan was tossed around and realized that everyone in the Regent's Mansion might have been tailed, otherwise Gu Huaizhi would not have arranged for someone he had never seen to take her away.

The carriage left the capital, passed through a small town, and changed to Mo Yuan's carriage. They went to the agreed place to wait for the Regent.
