Chapter 201: Persuading Gao Xuan to Retire After Success
It won't be long before Sima Yunlong passes away. When Sima You ascends the throne, Gao Xuan, the imperial preceptor, will be of no use to him.
If she kept him in this position and she was not in Kyoto to restrain him, she was afraid that Gao Xuan would cause trouble.
So, before she left Kyoto, she had to deal with Gao Xuan first.
However, considering that Gao Xuan had never harmed anyone in his life, she did not want to kill him. She also wanted to give Gao Xuan a chance to survive.
Gao Xuan smiled. He knew this day would come.
Now that His Majesty has fallen, the Crown Prince is full of doubts about him, and if he stays, he will only be an eyesore to the Crown Prince.
He had wanted to leave a long time ago, but since Su Yuan didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say and could only continue waiting.
Now Su Yuan finally came up with this suggestion.
He had indeed saved a lot of money over the years, and he also had three concubines, plus Gu Qingqing, a total of four women.
But he is no longer the high and mighty imperial master, and these women may not be willing to leave with him.
But he must take Gu Qingqing away.
If Gu Qingqing stayed in Kyoto, she would have no way to survive, and...
Gu Qingqing was pregnant with his child, and he was reluctant to abandon the baby in her belly.
"Don't worry, Madam! I've wanted to leave for a long time, but I was afraid of interrupting Madam's important work, so I've been delayed until now.
"My lady has come to explain this matter today, so I won't stay long," Gao Xuan said sincerely.
He was originally just a charlatan, a charlatan. If he hadn't met Su Yuan, how could he have lived a life of wealth and glory? How could he have saved enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life?
He had bought a villa outside Ningzhou City two years ago. This time when he left Kyoto, he went to the villa to recuperate.
Su Yuan was a little surprised. Gao Xuan agreed so easily?
She thought Gao Xuan was reluctant to give up his current wealth and glory.
"It's a little unbelievable that the Imperial Master agreed so readily." Su Yuan said with a smile.
Gao Xuan also smiled, "Madam, what do you mean by that? I have always been greedy for money and a rich life, not power.
So Madam, don't worry that I will go back on my word and cause trouble for you."
He wanted power and also wanted to live a life of wealth and glory.
Now that he had money and could continue to live a life of luxury, why did he need to be a state teacher anymore? Why did he need to stay here and live in fear?
"You are so tactful that it makes me seem too ruthless." Su Yuan couldn't help but joke.
It really makes her look like a heartless person who will destroy the bridge after crossing it.
Gao Xuan: "Madam, you are joking! Madam will always be my benefactor in the eyes of others, and I am the high and mighty Imperial Master, but only I know this clearly.
Without Madam, I am nothing! I am what I am today entirely thanks to Madam, so Madam, there is no need to feel guilty towards me."
Su Yuan: ...
Gao Xuan had said all the good and bad things, so she didn't have to say anything!
"What about Gu Qingqing? How will the Imperial Master arrange for her?" Su Yuan asked casually.
There is also a deposed Concubine De in the dungeon of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Is Gu Qingqing willing to follow Gao Xuan and leave Kyoto?
Given Gu Qingqing's personality, she compromised just to get Gao Xuan to help her get revenge.
Now Gao Xuan has chosen to leave Kyoto and give up his position as the Imperial Master.
Gu Qingqing would definitely not leave with Gao Xuan easily.
Gao Xuan: ...
He was also a little worried that Gu Qingqing would be unwilling to cooperate.
Gu Qingqing refused to leave, so he had to take her away by force.
What he was most worried about was that Gu Qingqing would seek death if she knew that he had given up the position of Imperial Master.
If he had known this would happen, he should not have provoked Gu Qingqing.
But it's too late to say anything now.
He had provoked her.
"Don't worry, madam. I will handle these matters and they will not affect you," Gao Xuan assured.
At this point, he could only move forward.
Gu Qingqing would rather die than surrender, so he had no choice but to give up on her.
Just a woman, she can't stop him from moving forward.
Su Yuan didn't say anything more, as long as Gao Xuan didn't implicate her.
Before leaving, Su Yuan gave Gao Xuan two pills, which could make people feel weak but would not harm the body.
"Madam! This pill...will it be okay if a pregnant woman takes it?" Gao Xuanduo asked.
Su Yuan: ...
Gu Qingqing is pregnant?
This……
Can the ill-fated relationship between Gao Xuan and Gu Qingqing have a good ending?
She shook her head gently, "It's okay!"
"Thank you, madam!" Gao Xuan bowed respectfully to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan turned and left.
After Su Yuan left, Gao Xuan entered the dungeon.
At this moment, Gu Qingqing was sitting on the bed doing needlework. When she saw Gao Xuan come in, she just looked up at him and continued to make clothes with her head down.
Gao Xuan took out the key, opened the cage and walked in.
He sat next to Gu Qingqing, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
He still didn't dare to say it.
Gu Qingqing has been pregnant for more than six months, and he is considering whether to wait until she gives birth before leaving.
"Qing'er! Why have you been so quiet lately?" Gao Xuan was a little uncomfortable.
Ever since Gu Qingqing became pregnant, she has become much quieter and no longer asks him to help her get revenge.
He was not used to her silence and felt inexplicably scared.
He was afraid that Gu Qingqing was plotting something.
He also didn't know why he let Gu Qingqing get pregnant with his child, even though he...
After he had sex with other women, he would give them a bowl of contraceptive soup, and he had also given it to Gu Qingqing before.
But he didn't know when it started, he was too lazy to send her off, and he stopped taking the contraceptive soup, so Gu Qingqing naturally got pregnant.
Perhaps he wanted to use this method to keep her.
Gu Qingqing was so calm that it was frightening. "I'm tired! Making trouble will not lead to any result. Why bother asking for trouble?"
It was useless for her to make a fuss. The more she made a fuss, the more Gao Xuan would hate her.
Why would she seek her own death?
She doesn't want to die!
Why does she want to die when she can live?
Even if she has to live a miserable life like now, she is happy with it.
"Qing'er, we...can you let go of the hatred in your heart? Can we live a good life together?" Gao Xuan asked tentatively.
Gu Qingqing frowned slightly and looked up at Gao Xuan, "What do you mean? Are you unwilling to help me get revenge?"
Did he finally admit that he wouldn't help her get revenge?
She should have thought of it earlier!
What reason did Gao Xuan have to take risks for her?
She's not that attractive.
"The wife of the Marquis of Zhennan is not an unforgivable person. When will the cycle of revenge end? Your Marquis of Zhennan Mansion plotted against her first, so it's only right that she retaliates against you.
"Why are you still holding on to this matter? Besides, Tu'er is fine now, and you are fine too, so why do you have to kill her?" Gao Xuan continued to persuade.
Gu Qingqing: ...
If it weren't for Su Yuan, she would still be the high and mighty Concubine De, and she would have had the hope of becoming the empress dowager!
