Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 208

A day later, someone next to Emperor Longqing said that he was leaving Hanshan Town. He had encountered an assassination, and the assassin had not been arrested. Naturally, the place was no longer safe.

Gu Yin couldn’t help but sigh in relief when she heard the news, but before she was happy, Eunuch Shangshan actually asked her to pack up and go with them.

This dog Emperor almost died, and had to run for his life all night, and still didn’t forget to eat good meals.

Gu Yin gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but did not dare to show anything on her face.

The young man was already a member of the kitchen, so when Gu Yin moved, he followed.

Just before departure, when the young man passed by Gu Yin, he said in an inaudible voice, “I’ll help you escape later.”

It was just those few words that made Gu Yin suddenly feel at ease.

Tens thousand Imperial Guards withdrew overnight, but they did not go far. After walking for about a day, the large army climbed a mountain and arrived at a bandit village.

Hanshan Town was constantly flooded with bandits, and although the imperial guards of the old dynasty could not defeat the rebels, they were more than enough to deal with those shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

After the bandits were wiped out, they were stationed there.

The environment there was simple, so naturally Gu Yin and the others would no longer be scattered as before. And after observing for such a period of time, the guards found them honest.

So Gu Yin stayed with Manager Zhou and Chef Yuan, and only when they were cooking would someone come in to supervise and test for poison.

Although it had only been less than a month, seeing each other again, they had a feeling of being separated for years.

Manager Zhou couldn’t help but have red eyes, and asked Gu Yin how she was doing and if she suffered.

Gu Yin also had a sour nose, and said, “I’m fine, I just cook every day, and I’m just being watched. How about you guys, were you all okay? Do you know what’s going on outside?”

Master Yuan was treated the same as her, so naturally he didn’t know what was going on outside.

But Manager Zhou was responsible for cooking big pots of rice for the soldiers, and he was a man who spoke and did everything in every way.

Before that meeting, Manager Zhou had inquired about Gu Yin. Although it was not detailed, he knew that the food she made was very much in line with the Emperor’s taste, and she had not been challenged. But in the end, he heard her say it herself and felt at ease.

During that period of time, Manager Zhou had not only cooked for them, but also took the errands out of the shopping on himself.

Of course, there were also people who had eyes on him and did not let him contact outsiders. They just used his knowledge of Hanshan Town to act cheaply.

But if he could go out anyway, he also knew something.

The situation outside was better than they thought. Except for the Wen family and a few cooks who were involved, the lives of other ordinary people were not affected. That time, the Emperor only took away Old Master Wen and their group, the rest of the people were not affected.

One time, Manager Zhou saw Gu Ye at the end of the street. The little guy had a gloomy face and hid in a corner silently.

He was afraid that Gu Ye would act rashly, so he hurriedly gestured to him and told him not to move.

“I met him again later, Xiao Ye pretended to be ignorant and bumped into us. I took the opportunity to shove the cloth with writing on him. Everyone in the house knows that we are all safe and sound, so they shouldn’t be too impatient.”

Gu Yin could still keep calm when she was alone. When she heard the news about Gu Ye, she couldn’t help clenching her fists worriedly and said, “This child has an idea. I can manage him when I’m at home. But now that we have left Hanshan Town, I’m afraid that child will follow.”

If he was caught as a spy, Gu Yin couldn’t imagine the outcome.

After hesitating, Gu Yin still found the young man – the mountain they were on was huge, and the guards had to patrol from the bottom of the mountain to the peak, and there were not enough people to do the rough work. He had not only helped in the kitchen, but spent most of his time outside doing other chores.

“I had let you stay and you helped me solve the dilemma. This is a draw. But on the rainy night, I helped you again. I hope you will pay me back again.” 

For Gu Ye, she could only be cheeky.

Seeing the pleading in her eyes, the young man did not show any impatience, but simply said, “Say it.”

“My son may come to me.” Gu Yin endured a heart-wrenching feeling, and said with difficulty, “He is only five years old and runs very fast. Ordinary martial arts practitioners can’t outrun him. If you meet…”

She actually had a five-year-old son. The young man’s eyes couldn’t help falling on her woman’s bun, and he quickly moved his eyes away and said, “I understand.”
