Empress Dowager Yu seemed to have been hit by an arrow in the chest, her smile condensed on the corners of her lips before she could spread out.
Xianzhi really hated her to the core.
Even her portrait was burned...
A Luo exclaimed in surprise: "Grandma Huang, why do you look so ugly? Did A Luo say something wrong?"
Before Queen Mother Yu could say anything, Xie Mingxi had already answered with a smile: "What Ah Luo said is true, and the Queen Mother will not be angry."
His bloody chest was stabbed deeply again.
Empress Dowager Yu exhaled a deep breath, maintaining the last dignity and dignity: "Grandma Huang is not angry. A Luo, come here and let Grandma Huang take a closer look at you."
Xiao Yuhan's heart trembled and he quickly looked at Xie Mingxi.
Empress Dowager Yu is a grandmother, so it is only natural for her to let A Luo "take care of her illness". If she takes hold of A Luo, she will take the lifeline of the empress...
Xie Mingxi was prepared and confident, and she led A Luo forward with a smile.
Mrs. Yu really "liked" A'luo very much. She asked in detail about A'luo's journey to Beijing and the interesting things happened on the way. Then she smiled and said: "A'luo is very articulate at a young age. The Ai family likes her very much. From now on, let
Ah Luo comes to Fulin Palace every day to talk to the Ai family and relieve their boredom."
Ah!
Xie Mingxi sneered in her heart and showed a little apology on her face: "Yesterday, the imperial grandmother mentioned that after A Luo returns to the palace, she will go to Cining Palace every day to take care of her illness. I have agreed. I really feel sorry for my mother."
Empress Dowager Li's big flag is quite useful. Once it is lifted out, it will be held down once by Empress Dowager Yu.
Queen Mother Yu resisted the urge to snort coldly and said calmly: "It's a good thing for A Luo to fulfill your filial piety on your behalf."
After that, the matter of waiting for the disease was not mentioned again.
…
After staying in Fulin Palace for about a stick of incense, Xie Mingxi and Shenghong led A Luo to leave.
Xiao Yuhan sent the three of them out of the palace, and smiled in a low voice to Xie Mingxi: "The mountain chief and A Luo must be very tired after traveling all the way back to Beijing. Let them rest for a few days. After a few days, I will host a banquet for the mountain chief.
Take the wind and wash away the dust.”
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile.
Xiao Yuhan said softly again: "I am serving the queen mother in Fulin Palace, so you can just go back without worries."
"Thank you, third sister-in-law." Xiao Yuhan, who is gentle, careful and intelligent, is Xie Mingxi's greatest help and staunchest ally in the palace.
Hot meals have already been prepared in the imperial dining room.
After all the fuss, it was already past noon.
Ah Luo sniffed the overflowing aroma, her little belly growled with hunger, and she urged impatiently: "Dad, Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat now."
Sheng Hong was heartbroken and immediately carried A Luo to the table and personally served A Luo's meal.
Xie Mingxi smiled and said angrily: "Aluo is five years old and can eat by herself. Don't spoil her."
Sheng Hong retorted plausibly: "Don't say five years old, even fifteen or twenty-five years old, she is still my daughter. I will be happy to spoil her."
Ah Luo was delighted when she heard this. She pouted her oily little mouth and kissed Sheng Hong on the face: "Dad is so kind to me." Sheng Hong was so happy that he grinned almost to his ear.
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi was both funny and helpless. After more than a year apart, the couple felt guilty for their daughter. Not to mention Sheng Hong, even she couldn't bear to refuse any of A Luo's requests when they reunited.
After a while, Mr. Gu Shanchang arrived after bathing and changing clothes.
Xie Mingxi never mentioned Empress Dowager Yu, and Gu Shanchang didn't even ask a word. He and Sheng Hong competed to feed A Luo.
Sheng Hong was not happy, but he couldn't overtake Gu Shanchang. He watched helplessly as Little A'luo, who was tired of being beside him, gradually moved to Gu Shanchang's side.
"Shan Chief," Sheng Hong couldn't help but protest: "I haven't seen A Luo for more than a year. Today, please let me feed A Luo!"
Gu Shanzhang concentrated on feeding A Luo, and replied without raising his head: "How do you know A Luo's taste? Most of the dishes just served, A Luo doesn't like to eat. I'd better feed it!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
It was like this before. He couldn't beat Gu Shanchang every time.
Looking at Sheng Hong with a sad look on his face, Xie Mingxi couldn't help but chuckle. She knew she couldn't grab the master, so she didn't fight for it at all.
Xie Mingxi picked up some vegetables and put them into Gu Shanchang's bowl: "Master, don't just feed A Luo, you also eat."
Gu Shan smiled and hummed.
The cruelest thing in the world is separation, and the happiest thing is reunion.
For the happiness and beauty of this moment, it is worth paying everything.
…
After lunch, A'luo yawned. Sheng Hong immediately rushed over and hugged A'luo, patted A'luo's back and coaxed A'luo to sleep. Gu Shanchang did not fight with Sheng Hong this time.
I have been on the road for nearly two months, and no matter how strong my body is, I still feel tired.
Xie Mingxi accompanied Gu Shanchang back to the dormitory.
The master and apprentice finally had a chance to be alone.
There are thousands of words to say, but I don’t know where to start.
Gu Shanchang was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Mingxi, tell me honestly. What conditions did you have that day to make Queen Mother Yu nod and let me go?"
Xie Mingxi had expected this question from Chief Gu Shan, and replied without changing her expression: "I promise her that no matter when the time comes, I will not kill the Yu family."
It's that simple?
Gu Shanchang was not that easy to fool. He frowned: "Mingxi, you must be hiding something from me."
Xie Mingxi looked back calmly: "No."
Gu Shanchang: "..."
Must have.
But Xie Mingxi insisted not to say anything, and Gu Shanchang couldn't pry her mouth open. He stared at her for a moment with his eyes open, and soon turned into a sigh: "Well, if you don't want to say it, there's nothing I can do."
"Mingxi, I always thought that I could protect you safely. Unexpectedly, Queen Mother Yu was so cruel and ruthless that she did this to me regardless of our past friendship."
"Not only did I fail to protect you, but I became a drag on you..."
Speaking of this, Gu Shanchang's voice was choked with sobs, and his eyes flashed with water.
Xie Mingxi couldn't see Chief Gu being so self-blame and sad, so she held Chief Gu's cold hand and said in a low and firm voice: "No, Master has never been a burden to me. Without Master's careful teaching and protection, I wouldn't be where I am today."
.”
"Master, there is no need to feel sad about Queen Mother Yu's heartlessness. I have already vented my anger on Master."
"I will not take her life. I will let her live for a long time, let her see clearly that she is suppressed and unable to move, and let her live in helpless anger and despair. Day after day, year after year.
Year after year.”
Dead for a hundred times.
Living is the greatest pain and torture.
At this time, Xie Mingxi shed all her masks, finally revealing her true cruelty and coldness.
The feeling of wearing a mask all the time is not wonderful.
Only in front of Chief Gu, Xie Mingxi would take off all her guard and reveal her true face.
Looking at Xie Mingxi like this, Gu Shanchang did not feel unfamiliar or scary. Instead, he smiled happily: "Master listens to you."
