After eating a somewhat light but well-balanced nutritious meal, Li Qingcheng took the initiative to clear away the dishes and dimmed the lights in the ward.
"Would you like to rest now?"
She sat down on a small temporary bed in the ward, looked at Li Xi, and asked softly.
"not sleepy."
Li Xi shook her head, a smile appeared on her pale face, she patted the place next to her and said softly: "Come sit here and let's chat."
Her breath seemed to be weaker than when she had just woken up, but her energy seemed to be pretty good. The daughter she had been worried about was brought back by Li Tianlan as quickly as possible. Gu Xingyun used the Ten Jue Sword Formation as the foundation to follow Li Tianlan
The fight was a complete defeat. The tense mental state that had been tense for many years seemed to relax suddenly. In the afternoon, Li Xi had a fever. After taking medicine, her body temperature dropped a little. She seemed to be moving toward a real human being.
It began to slowly change, and gradually got rid of the state where it looked beautiful but lifeless like a puppet.
"oh."
Li Qingcheng nodded, walked over, picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Xi. When she took it, she reached out her little hand and touched Li Xi's forehead, and said with a hum, "The temperature is now normal.
"
"yes."
Li Xi held the cup and looked at her daughter seriously. She didn't know how long it took before she smiled to herself.
An extremely ironic fact was clearly placed in front of the mother and daughter.
They are biological mother and daughter.
Li Qingcheng is almost twenty years old this year.
but...
They are not familiar with it.
Really unfamiliar.
An extremely absurd but extremely cruel fact.
Li Xi seldom sees Li Qingcheng on weekdays. Although mother and daughter are both in Kunlun City, they are strictly controlled by Gu Xingyun most of the time. In the few meetings, Li Xi is like a walking zombie in her daughter's heart.
There are not many specific images. On the contrary, under the psychological suggestion, Gu Xingyun is closer to Li Xi's heart. Although Gu Xingyun is not a good father at all, at least his sense of existence is that of Li Xi.
many times.
So without Gu Xingyun at this time, when facing her daughter alone, Li Xi obviously had a lot to say, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"We are going to Tiannan tomorrow. Are we going to settle in Xuanyuan City from now on?"
Li Qingcheng carefully cut open an apple and took the initiative to speak.
Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly: "Don't like it?"
Li Qingcheng took a small bite of the apple, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes that always seemed very calm. After a long while, she shook her head and said softly: "I don't know either."
She had left Kunlun City for less than a day, and she simply could not adapt to the current life where she didn't know what to do. She had no reservations about Kunlun City and Gu Xingyun, but she didn't have any resentment either. She suddenly left that place and came here.
When she came to her mother, who was somewhat strange but had never been far away from her, she felt she was simply not adaptable.
"Then you can think about it."
Li Xi stretched out her hand and carefully stroked her daughter's silky hair. Her voice was distant and clear, as gentle as the wind: "To be precise, I am going to Tiannan tomorrow, and I am the one who will settle in Xuanyuan City. If you don't like it there, Just tell your brother-in-law... um... tell His Majesty Donghuang that you can stay in Youzhou, go to Huating, go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or go abroad. If you don't want to listen to his arrangements, it doesn't matter. I can give you a sum of money and you can go. You can go anywhere and do whatever you want.”
Carefully, she held the woman in her arms.
This was the first time in so many years since she was a baby that she had done this.
Feeling Li Qingcheng's stiff body, Li Xi's body trembled slightly: "Qingcheng, I'm not a good mother. This is a fact. I don't even deserve to be a mother. I'm sorry for all these years. All mothers can given to me
I have never given it to you, but at least now... I can give you the most important thing, and it is also what I have been looking forward to for many years."
She hugged her daughter hard and said softly: "Free, true freedom. From now on, no one will restrain me. You don't have to forgive me, or even leave me and never come back, but... you are free." , Even Li Tianlan will not force him to do anything or go anywhere. I am the only one who settles in Xuanyuan City, so I can refuse."
"oh."
After a long time, she quietly nodded in Li Xi's arms and said softly: "I don't know where to go. I'll go to Xuanyuan City with you."
Li Xi nodded vigorously, feeling so excited that she was speechless for a moment.
"I heard that Xuanyuan City is very beautiful. If we go there, we should be able to get a nice house, right?"
Li Qingcheng straightened up from Li Xi's arms and laughed softly.
"certainly."
Li Xi said softly: "You can choose every place in Xuanyuan City."
She said this with great confidence.
She has decided to join the East Palace. She was not coerced or given a gift, but joined the East Palace voluntarily. Now that she has not recovered from her serious injury, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to return to the true peak invincibility. But as long as she has time, she She can completely recover to a state that is infinitely close to the peak invincibility. In this case, even if her body has not recovered for the time being, she will definitely become the third deputy palace owner of the East Palace when she enters the East Palace. Some treatment issues do not matter at all. She needs to worry about it.
Li Qingcheng, whose thoughts were a little confused, nodded and glanced absently at everything in the room.
She suddenly raised the apple in her hand: "It's very sweet, do you want it?"
Li Xi looked at her steadily and shook his head slightly.
"Then... let's rest."
Li Qingcheng opened his mouth and said.
"Not urgent."
Li Xi said softly: "I just received a call from the saint. A special guest is coming."
"Special guest?"
Li Qingcheng blinked: "Are you here to visit?"
"The rhetoric he used was that he came to visit me."
Li Xi said thoughtfully: "But the most important purpose should be for this."
Li Qingcheng frowned slightly: "Who is it?"
The knock on the door sounded slowly and clearly before Li Xi could answer.
Li Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, sat up straight, and said in a loud voice: "Please come in."
The door was slowly pushed open.
Jiang Shangyu walked in with a calm face.
Li Qingcheng's red little mouth opened slightly, a little surprised.
She naturally knew Jiang Shangyu. Before he completely fell out with Kunlun City, Li Qingcheng had been in contact with Jiang Shangyu several times, and even played in Northern Xinjiang for a while. Gu Xingyun mentioned to her several times that he had met Jiang Shangyu.
Besides, almost everyone said that Jiang Shangyu would become her husband in the future.
There was no willingness or reluctance, no like or dislike. Under the subtle psychological suggestion, Li Qingcheng just did not object, that's all.
Just now...
What is he doing here?
For yourself?
Li Qingcheng's heart suddenly felt strange.
Jiang Shangyu smiled and nodded to Li Qingcheng, then bowed deeply to Li Xi and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Aunt Li Xi."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Xi nodded, showing no sign of the aunty call or the sincere bow.
"Actually, I have always wanted to come and visit my aunt, but this nursing home has always been quite sensitive before."
Jiang Shangyu smiled softly and stood there without sitting down: "How is Auntie's health?"
"Not bad, let Mr. Jiang worry about it."
Li Xi smiled: "Please sit down and eat some fruit."
"Thank you, auntie."
Jiang Shangyu nodded politely, took out a small box that didn't look very eye-catching, and said with a smile: "The Jiang family doesn't have any recovery medicines, but the northern Xinjiang is vast and rich in resources, and we have collected some rare medicinal materials.
I drank some, this is desert blood from northern Xinjiang, it should be helpful to my aunt’s physical recovery.”
Desert blood!
Not only Li Xi and her daughter, but also the saints guarding outside the ward raised their eyebrows sharply.
This is one of the most precious medicinal materials in Northern Xinjiang. It is an extremely rare plant. It is also one of the main ingredients of some of the top healing potions. Not to mention other things, even a piece of desert blood can be regarded as a holy medicine for healing.
It will be of great benefit to Li Xi's physical recovery. Although the box in Jiang Shangyu's hand is inconspicuous, if it is given to a force like the Wang family of Beihai that masters unique genetic medicine technology, it will be completely useful.
It is easy to exchange for a luxury sports car, which is definitely a great gift.
"This gift is too heavy."
Li Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and shook her head: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your kindness. It's just desert blood, not..."
"This is my intention as a junior."
Jiang Shangyu chuckled softly, with persistence in his voice: "No matter what, I hope Auntie can accept it."
Li Xi pondered for a moment, glanced at Li Qingcheng, and nodded: "In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shangyu waved his hand casually and sat down on the chair.
"Master Jiang came here today not just to check on my injury, right?"
Li Xi took the box and asked calmly.
"There is indeed one more thing I want to discuss with Auntie."
Jiang Shangyu got straight to the point. He came a little late today, and this time was not suitable for staying too long.
"explain."
Li Xi looked at him politely.
"It's about Qingcheng."
Jiang Shangyu hesitated slightly and said it directly, his face serious and sincere: "Auntie, if possible, I want to take Qingcheng out of Youzhou."
"Um?"
Li Qingcheng frowned slightly and glanced at Jiang Shangyu, feeling a little confused.
"Sorry, can not."
No hesitation, no surprise, not even asking why.
Li Xi gave his answer directly.
Can't.
Simple and direct, leaving no room for error.
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a moment, looked at Li Qingcheng, and said in a low voice, "Can I ask why?"
"Because it can't be."
Li Xi's voice was very soft, but the content was extremely strong.
Jiang Shangyu paused and fell silent.
His request may be a bit abrupt.
But before coming, he really didn't expect Li Xi to be so tough.
This made it clear that he didn't want to talk more about this topic at all.
There's no reason why it can't be done.
If you must ask.
That means it's not possible.
Jiang Shangyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xi quietly.
Under the soft light, his gentle eyes, which had always been smiling in the past, inadvertently gained a touch of fierce aggression.
Li Xi also looked at him quietly without saying a word.
"if..."
Jiang Shangyu suddenly laughed: "I mean, what if, aunt, I must take Qingcheng away?"
His voice was very slow, but every word seemed to carry a full sense of oppression.
"Then you will die."
A calm voice suddenly sounded.
The space in the ward suddenly fluctuated.
Silently, a faint sword energy condensed in the room, and eventually turned into a projection of Li Tianlan's sword energy.
He directly answered the question for Li Xi: "Die here."
