Eight hundred and eighty-third chapter return (three)
Jiaofang Hall.
Zhilan reported in a low voice: "The Prince of Shu sent two letters to the palace."
It seems that Chief Gu Shan has returned to the Shu Palace safely.
Queen Mother Yu's eyes dimmed and she was silent for a long time.
In this match, Xie Mingxi lost miserably, and she also won miserably. Xie Mingxi gave in and bowed her head. It was easy for a childless queen to control her. But she lost the only best friend in her life.
Xianzhi must hate her to the core...
Once this thought occurs, it feels like a sharp blade is stirring in the chest, and almost all the internal organs are pierced.
The so-called heart-breaking pain is nothing more than that!
However, she has made her choice. There is no possibility of turning back!
Queen Mother Yu took out a deep breath, as if she wanted to express all the pain in her chest: "Okay, the Ai family understands. Please step back, the Ai family wants to be alone."
Zhi Lan responded and retreated.
Queen Mother Yu sat alone in her bedroom, looking silent.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the time before she was eleven years old. At that time, she was still a confident and proud legitimate daughter of the Yu family, and she and Gu Xianzhi were close friends. Both of them were equally intelligent and good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They were also good together.
Very speculative and always have endless things to say.
Later, she disguised herself as a man and got admitted to Songzhu Academy. She met Emperor Jianwen, who was also young, in the academy, and they fell in love with each other until they made a private decision... Only Gu Xianzhi knew about all this.
After her brother Yu Lianchi died, she resumed her status as the legitimate daughter of the Yu family and married Emperor Jianwen as his wife.
Gu Xianzhi never married and always kept the integrity of Yu Lianchi.
In her heart, Gu Xianzhi is her childhood friend, a like-minded friend, and her eldest sister-in-law. She once secretly vowed to protect Gu Xianzhi forever and not let Gu Xianzhi be harmed in the slightest...
But in the end, she was the one who really hurt Gu Xianzhi.
Queen Mother Yu unconsciously covered her chest with her right hand, then closed her eyes. Two tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes.
…
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Empress Dowager Yu, who was immersed in her thoughts, was also completely awakened. She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked sharply: "Who is it?"
Zhilan's voice sounded outside the door: "To the Queen Mother, there is a letter from Shu delivered to Cining Palace."
Shu land?
Could it be that the letter came from Xianzhi?
Knowing that the possibility of this matter was slim, Empress Dowager Yu could not suppress her excitement and opened her mouth to let Zhi Lan in. When Zhi Lan presented the letter, the light in Empress Dowager Yu's eyes quickly extinguished.
This is a letter from Governor Xia!
Hiding Chief Gu Shan in Shu was by no means an easy task! Empress Dowager Yu secretly ordered people to find Commander Xia, one of the three governors in Shu.
This Xia County Governor was once a disciple of Chief Yu. He went to Shu as an official more than ten years ago, and with the secret support of the Yu family, he became the governor of a county.
Very few people know about the close relationship between Sheriff Xia and the Yu family.
Empress Dowager Yu used this secret chess piece to hide Gu Shanchang in a secret room in the Xia County Governor's Mansion. Therefore, no matter how anxious Lin Weiwei was, and no matter how many secret guards searched everywhere, they could not find Gu Shanchang's whereabouts.
.
Half a month ago, Queen Mother Yu ordered someone to secretly send a letter to Commander Xia, ordering him to release Chief Gu. Now that Chief Gu has arrived at the Shu Palace safely, what else does Commander Xia have to write to?
Could it be that you want to take credit?
Queen Mother Yu frowned, opened the letter, and quickly read it. Soon, her frown deepened.
Gu Xianzhi returned to the Shu Palace safely. The dozen guards who escorted Gu Xianzhi were also "kept" by the Shu Palace. As long as they were tortured, it would not be difficult to find out who was behind the scenes.
Sheriff Xia was afraid of being resented by the empress, so he came to her specifically for help.
Empress Dowager Yu didn't care about a mere Xia County Governor at all. She snorted coldly and burned the letter to ashes. It was like abandoning a light chess piece.
…
That night, Sheng Hong returned to Fulin Palace and saw Xie Mingxi, whose eyes were red and her face was full of joy.
Before Sheng Hong could ask, Xie Mingxi had already thrown herself into his arms and said with great joy: "Sheng Hong, today the Prince of Shu finally sent a letter to the palace. The master is finally back safely."
A huge boulder fell to the ground in Sheng Hong's heart, and he hugged Xie Mingxi tightly: "That's great! Just hope the mountain leader is fine."
The familiar and soft body in her arms trembled slightly.
In the past three months, she couldn't eat or sleep well. It was like a taut bowstring. Now, the bowstring finally relaxed.
In the warm and familiar embrace, Xie Mingxi indulged herself and cried happily.
Sheng Hong was heartbroken and cherished her endlessly, and hugged her body silently. When Xie Mingxi's mood gradually calmed down, Sheng Hong whispered in her ear: "Mingxi, the mountain chief has returned. We no longer have to worry about anything."
"Don't worry, I will take back all the grievances you have suffered."
"In a few days, I will secretly instruct the imperial censor to write a memorial to impeach Empress Dowager Yu. This time, we will settle the debt with profit."
Xie Mingxi raised her head. Except for the redness of her eyes, her face had returned to calmness: "Okay!"
Sheng Hong hugged her tighter, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
…
The next day, Xie Mingxi, who had been ill for many days, finally showed up in Jiaofang Hall.
Empress Dowager Yu put on a lot of makeup today to cover up the gloominess of her sleepless night.
Beauty is old and her beauty is gone. Sitting on the phoenix chair, Queen Mother Yu has most of her hair white and wrinkles on her forehead. She is dignified and solemn, showing the look of her age.
However, everyone is prone to self-deception.
Just like Empress Dowager Yu, her favorite saying on weekdays is "I'm sorry that my family is getting old." But in her heart, she stubbornly and firmly felt that she could live for another few decades.
Since you have to live for a long time, you cannot lose your power. Otherwise, you will be like the Empress Dowager Li, living pitifully and sadly relying on others.
"My daughter-in-law has met my mother." After many days, Xie Mingxi seemed to have forgotten everything that had happened, and smiled and saluted her.
Empress Dowager Yu also had no grudges and asked cordially how Xie Mingxi was doing: "Ms. Xie, have you ever recovered?"
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "My daughter-in-law has recovered, which makes the queen mother worried."
Empress Dowager Yu smiled and said: "Now that you are well, go to Cining Palace and have a look. Your imperial grandmother really loves you. Without you by her side these days, she is worried and worried every day."
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile.
Arriving at Cining Palace, Queen Mother Li was extremely excited and grabbed Xie Mingxi's hand: "Mingxi, your illness is finally cured."
With Xie Mingxi by my side, I feel more at ease!
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly and helped the excited Empress Dowager Li sit down: "Thank you for your concern, my granddaughter-in-law has completely recovered."
Couldn't be better!
She has already dug a deep hole for Queen Mother Yu!
What awaits Queen Mother Yu will be a heavy rain and strong wind!
