After a long time, Queen Mother Yu finally managed to find her obscure and low-pitched voice: "Sit down and talk!"
Xie Mingxi agreed with a smile and sat down below Queen Mother Yu.
Gu Shanchang sat silently beside Xie Mingxi.
As usual, Xie Mingxi inquired with concern about Queen Mother Yu's symptoms and daily diet and medication.
Empress Dowager Yu answered a few words absentmindedly, and couldn't help but look at Gu Shanchang frequently. She wanted to tell Xie Mingxi to retreat, but she was also subconsciously afraid of facing Gu Shanchang alone. Her emotions were so complicated that they could not be expressed in words.
Xie Mingxi talked leisurely for a while, and then said: "The queen mother and the master have not seen each other for several years, and I think I must have something to say. My daughter-in-law will take a leave of absence for a while."
Queen Mother Yu blurted out: "Wait!"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I knew they were wrong.
Sure enough, Xie Mingxi looked over pretending to be surprised: "Could it be that the queen mother wants her daughter-in-law to stay?"
Queen Mother Yu: "..."
Of course not.
This is the grudge between her and Xianzhi. How can we tolerate others?
What's more, Xie Mingxi's words are as sharp as a knife. If I really keep Xie Mingxi, I'm afraid that I will be so angry that I vomit blood today.
Empress Dowager Yu calmed down and said slowly: "You should step down first. Zhi Lan, Yu Qiao, you all should also step down."
The palace ladies retreated in response.
Xie Mingxi stood up and said softly to Chief Gu, "Master, I'm waiting outside the door. If anything happens, just open your mouth and call me."
Empress Dowager Yu is so ill that she doesn't even have the strength to walk, so there is no need to worry about Master suffering a loss. But Master, please take it easy today and don't make Empress Dowager Yu mad to death on the spot... It's not time to close your eyes and go home yet!
Gu Shanchang nodded slightly.
…
After a while, everyone in the dormitory retreated, leaving only Queen Mother Yu and Chief Gu Shan.
Queen Mother Yu looked at Gu Shanchang.
Gu Shanchang did not look back and looked elsewhere.
After a cup of tea, no one opened their mouths.
After another cup of tea, Queen Mother Yu finally couldn't help but break the silence: "Xianzhi..."
"The Queen Mother, please call me Gu Shanchang!" Gu Shanchang said coldly: "I really can't bear this kind of generosity."
Empress Dowager Yu felt a pain in her heart and did not bother with the issue of the title. She quickly changed her mind and said, "It doesn't matter, you have been the mountain chief for most of your life, so the Ai family will call you the mountain chief."
"Brother Ji and the others are now studying with you. After the Ai family heard about it, they were very pleased and happy. With your talent and learning, it is more than enough to educate a few children..."
Gu Shanchang calmly interrupted Queen Mother Yu: "I will teach A Luo how to read, and the rest of them will also study together."
Queen Mother Yu: "..."
Queen Mother Yu was choked for a while, but she didn't get angry, but felt a little bit of joy in her heart.
Xian Zhi is willing to see her and talk to her.
Perhaps Xianzhi is still thinking about the friendship in the past and has no intention of completely breaking up with her. Even if Xianzhi makes sarcastic remarks and sarcastic words, she can tolerate them one by one.
Gu Shanchang finally raised his eyes and looked over, just in time to catch the trace of unconcealed joy in Queen Mother Yu's eyes. The anger and hatred that he had tried to suppress in his heart suddenly surged up.
The planned calm break was also cast aside.
"The Empress Dowager has many plans, which is admirable." Gu Shanchang said in a cold voice: "That day, he lured me out of the Prince of Shu's Mansion with a letter. After that, I was trapped in the Sheriff's Mansion for more than two months. I was fed decoctions every day.
, lethargic and unable to wake up."
"In those days, I kept thinking, why would a person become unrecognizable?"
"Is power so important? Is it more important than friendship that we have known each other for decades? Why did that close friend who I met when I was young and claimed to have been with me forever, have the heart to attack me?"
Each word was like a knife, which made Queen Mother Yu feel heartbroken: "Xianzhi, I'm sorry..."
"No need to say sorry."
Gu Shanchang's eyes were as cold as ice, and his voice was full of hatred: "You have your own position, and everything you do is right. It's me who's wrong. I'm too kind and soft-hearted, and I'm too naive and ridiculous. I know you've already been cheated.
My heart has changed, but I stubbornly believe that you treat me differently. As a result, Mingxi is implicated."
"Mingxi didn't tell me the truth and refused to tell me what she had to do to get me back safely."
"I managed to save my life and endure the humiliation for the sake of Mingxi. Otherwise, I would have committed suicide by hitting the wall on the first day I was imprisoned in the Sheriff's Mansion."
"I came here today to explain everything clearly to you."
"The day you ordered someone to attack me, the friendship between you and me was severed."
"You are afraid of seeing me, so you have never taken the initiative to call me here in the past few months. I don't want to see you even more, because seeing you once makes me hate myself more and more, hating myself for being blind and seeing the wrong thing.
people."
"After today, you and I don't have to see each other again."
After finishing speaking, Gu Shanchang stood up and left.
Queen Mother Yu looked pale and stood up subconsciously: "Xianzhi..."
Unfortunately, she was so weak that she only took one step and her legs became weak.
Gu Shanchang walked out without even looking back.
…
This is Gu Xianzhi.
Love and hate are clear, and there is never a grain of sand in your eyes. When you are good to someone, you will show your heart and lungs. When you hate someone, walk away and never look back.
She was like this when she broke up with the Gu family. She crossed the threshold of the Gu family and never looked back.
When she said she would never see her again, she really meant that she would never come again.
Queen Mother Yu called out "Xianzhi" again, her vision suddenly went dark, her body swayed, and she fell down.
Gu Shanchang's ears were very sensitive. He heard the strange movement behind him, but he still did not look back. He opened the door and walked out, and said to Zhilan Yuqiao who was guarding the door: "The Queen Mother has fainted. You two go in and help the Queen Mother back."
Bed.”
Zhi Lan and Yu Qiao all changed their colors and rushed into the bedroom quickly.
Gu Shanchang's expression did not change, and he walked to Xie Mingxi with steady steps.
Xie Mingxi looked at Gu Shanchang, who looked cheerful, and asked in a low voice: "How does Master feel now?"
Gu Shanchang thought for a moment: "It's like cutting off a piece of rotten flesh, and you feel the pleasure of dripping blood."
No matter what, just have fun!
It’s much better than keeping it in your heart!
In the past few months, Chief Gu Shan had been living in the palace, chatting and laughing every day, and seemed to be in a good mood. Xie Mingxi, who was familiar with Chief Gu's temperament, knew that Chief Gu had avoided Empress Dowager Yu, as if she had something stuck in her throat.
Today I will completely remove this thorn stuck in my throat and let it go as happily as I want.
A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, and she said softly: "Master, please go back to Jiaofang Palace first! I'll stay with my mother."
When Empress Dowager Yu fainted, it was only right that Xie Mingxi, as the empress, stayed behind to take care of her.
Gu Shanchang nodded and walked away from Fulin Palace.
The resentment and hatred accumulated in the bottom of my heart were all left behind. The friendship that lasted for nearly fifty years was completely in the past.
