Chapter 737: Sending everyone around her away from Kyoto, what does she want to do?
"Isn't it rumored that the prince and princess have a very good relationship? Why is the prince not here on such an important day?"
"Yes, it's such a big event, and the son-in-law didn't come back. This is really embarrassing! How come General Liu is still the Kaiyuan General? It's really disrespectful for the prince to do this!"
The crowd was talking, and their voices reached the ears of Liu Kun's family.
Liu Kun showed a bit of displeasure on his face, and glanced coldly at the people watching outside.
Liu Jingchen was also furious and immediately called his servants to disperse the people outside.
"It's our own homecoming banquet, why are these people here to join in the fun?"
Shu He didn't care much. She was in this position, and all kinds of rumors about her were flying around. Everyone would be curious about her. It was also normal for people to wait in front of the general's mansion to watch her.
"Is there something wrong, Your Highness?" Liu Kun looked at her worriedly, fearing that there might be some conflict between her and Baili Moqing.
Shu He nodded, "He has something important to deal with and hasn't been back for two days."
Liu Kun's tense expression relaxed visibly, and a smile appeared on his face. "Okay, Your Highness is very busy, I understand, I understand."
Shu He held his hand and said, "Grandfather, let's ignore him for now. Let's go in and talk!"
Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi also got out of the car. When Yier saw them, she immediately slid off Liu Jingchen's body and ran towards Shu Yuanqi.
The red rope bells on her hands jingled, which was festive and cheerful.
"Second uncle, give me a hug!!"
Liu Kun's family was very surprised to see Shu Yuanqi, and there was some confusion in their eyes.
Didn’t they say that the second brother took a detour and joined Prince Nanyu’s sect?
Is this the prodigal son's return?
After everyone entered the yard, Liu Ruyu asked someone to close the gate, not wanting the family reunion to be watched by others.
When Liu Kun and his wife learned that the two brothers Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi would go to Anzhou with them, they were very surprised and confused.
"He'er is still in Kyoto. If you go to Anzhou, won't she be left alone?" Old Lady Liu said worriedly.
She still wanted Shu He to have someone to rely on in Kyoto. Otherwise, who knew if she would become like Liu Jinghuang, and end up dying without her family knowing.
Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi didn't say anything, their faces looked a little ugly.
"Grandma, don't worry. I am my own biggest supporter. I don't need anyone else's help."
"You and Grandfather, however, have a long journey to Anzhou. Your uncle and two cousins also have to report to the army. You need someone to take care of you."
Although Shu He said so, Old Lady Liu still sensed something was wrong from the strange atmosphere between the three siblings.
"If that's why you want your two brothers to go to Anzhou with us, then we can stay in Kyoto. The emperor hasn't said we have to go back to Anzhou."
Liu Kun's tentative words really made Shu He's face change.
"no!"
Perhaps realizing her tone was a bit harsh, she quickly lowered her voice, "Grandpa and grandma are used to living in Anzhou. This Kyoto is noisy and bustling, it's not a good place to retire."
Liu Kun's eyes changed slightly. How could he not know the worry in her heart? She was simply worried that something would happen to them in Kyoto.
"The waters of Kyoto are too deep and too dangerous. How can we rest assured that you're alone?" Liu Kun's aged figure exuded an indescribable sense of powerlessness. "I'm old and can't offer you any help, but He'er, I don't want you to fight alone in Kyoto either."
"Your uncle and two cousins are all in the army at the border. If anything were to happen, they wouldn't be able to help you even if they wanted to... With your two brothers here, they can definitely help out."
Shu He held onto Liu Kun's arm, a relaxed smile on his face. "Grandfather, what are you talking about? How could He'er be fighting alone? I have Baili Moqing by my side!"
"Besides, as the Princess of Li, I have become the most powerful woman in the world of Apocalypse. Why would I need to 'fight'?"
She looked at Old Madam Liu and Tan Xuan again, and said with a smile, "I was thinking of letting Yi'er go to Anzhou with you guys to spend some time! This capital is so boring, and she's tired of staying here. When she heard she was going to Anzhou with you, she was so happy!"
The Liu family looked at Yi'er in amazement. She nodded and said happily, "Yes, yes! Aunt Ruzhu said that there are many delicious foods and fun things in Anzhou, including a circus, a talking parrot, and dancing monkeys. Yi'er really wants to go and see them!"
Liu Kun and Liu Jingchen both had solemn expressions on their faces. They looked at Shu He, who was smiling, with deep worry in their eyes.
She sent everyone around her away from Kyoto. What was she going to do?
"He'er..."
Shu He seemed to be able to guess what Liu Kun wanted to say. She shook his arm again and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Grandfather, don't think too much. I just think it's good for you to retire in Anzhou!"
"There are no nobles there. Now you have resumed your title of 'Kaiyuan General'. Although it's a sinecure, your status is still there!"
"Once you return to Anzhou, no one in the state, high or low, will dare to be rude to you! Living freely there is much more comfortable than having to kowtow to everyone you meet in Kyoto, isn't it?"
She really didn't like seeing her relatives kowtowing and bowing to others.
"He'er, are you really going to take Yi'er to Anzhou with us?" Old Madam Liu didn't think too deeply about it. She just felt that if Yi'er left, Shu He would be even more lonely. "Have you thought it through?"
Yi'er was still young and didn't understand the twists and turns at all. She really thought she was going to Anzhou for fun.
"Grandma, Yi'er is going to play for a few days and will be back soon. Please don't dislike Yi'er!"
Madam Liu laughed angrily, "You little elf, Grandma loves you so much, how could she dislike you?"
"Grandma just thought your mother would be lonely in Kyoto."
Yi'er rolled her eyes and said immediately, "Then why don't you come with us to play at Grandma's house?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Shu He. They seemed to think Yi'er's suggestion was very good, and they all expected Shu He to leave with them.
Shu He smiled and said, "Yier, if your mother leaves, what will happen to your father? If he stays alone in Kyoto, won't he be even more lonely? When the time comes, no one will know if he cries out of sadness!"
After coaxing Yi'er and the Liu family, Shu He had to talk a lot before everyone felt relieved about her.
Everyone had lunch together at noon and then got on the carriage to leave.
Shu He's carriage arrived at Shili Pavilion outside the city.
"Just send it here." Old Madam Liu held Shu He's hand and let go with reluctance in her eyes.
The four carriages stopped together, and with the help of Shu He, Old Madam Liu got off the carriage of Prince Li's mansion.
Everyone in the Liu family stood outside, saying their final goodbyes to Shu He.
"Cousin Ah He, how about I stay in Kyoto with you?"
Liu Ruzhu is the most beloved daughter of the Liu family. Even after Shu He and Yi'er appeared, her status in the hearts of the Liu family dropped sharply, but a child who grew up in love will never care too much.
Moreover, she had longed for the legend about her cousin, and this meeting further confirmed the legend of her bravery and intelligence, decisiveness and independence. She regarded her as an idol and admired her very much.
She was also willing to stay to help her and accompany her.
"Sister Arou is gone, the Third Princess is gone, and we're gone too. You're all alone, so lonely and helpless..."
Suddenly, there was no one around her...
Shu He looked at her with a smile, "Well, I don't think so. The prince and I are newly married, and it's a sweet time. If you stay, won't you be a light bulb?"
"Shop... light bulb?" Liu Ruzhu was stunned for a moment, her face full of confusion. "Cousin, what is a shop light bulb?"
Shu He shook his head and let the cat out of the bag again.
"I just think you're getting in the way!" Liu Rufeng stepped forward to forcefully explain, "The young couple is so sweet and loving, why are you joining in the fun? Be careful or the prince will throw you out!"
Liu Ruzhu glared at him, "Humph, no way! My cousin will protect me!"
Shu He smiled faintly, then asked Xuan Feng and Yue Zhen to take out the things from the back of the carriage.
"These are the herbs and prescriptions for Grandpa's recovery. When Grandpa and Grandma arrive in Anzhou, take this token and go to the Zhenyao Pavilion on Yong'an Street to get the medicine. They have all the herbs you need, and they don't charge any fees."
"If grandpa and grandma need to find me in the future, or if they miss me, they can write a letter and have the person inside bring it to Kyoto."
Liu Kun took the white jade token. Just by touching it, he could feel a cool breath all over his body, which showed that it was not an ordinary jade.
"Is that place reliable?"
Shu He nodded, "It's He'er's own property, don't worry, it's very reliable!"
Hearing this, Liu Kun nodded and felt relieved.
Shu He also gave gifts to other members of the Liu family.
The two brothers of the Liu family have two specially crafted long swords, whose hardness is far beyond the ordinary swords in the army. When they take these swords to the battlefield, their safety can be guaranteed.
In addition to weapons, she also asked Baili Moqing to collect some internal skills and superior sword techniques. As long as they practiced diligently, their skills would definitely improve.
The two thanked her, and Shu He also stuffed two bags of things into Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi's pockets, but she didn't say much.
When everyone had given their gifts and Liu Kun was about to say goodbye, a tiger's roar was heard from the woods in the distance.
"Yes, Woo Woo!!" Yier shouted excitedly.
Shu He touched Yi'er's head, with some reluctance in his eyes, "Yi'er, you must take good care of your grandpa and grandma on the way, okay?"
Yier nodded, "Got it!"
"You have to take good care of yourself and be obedient. You can't cause trouble for your grandpa, grandma, and aunt!"
Yi'er nodded again and replied with a smile: "Okay!"
"Also, you have to keep an eye on Wuwu. Don't let it hurt anyone for no reason!"
……
Yier agreed to all of Shu He's instructions.
Soon, a group of three carriages went away into the distance.
Yi'er rode on Wuwu's back and followed the carriage, attracting countless frightened and envious gazes along the way.
