At dusk.

After the three children left school, they went to the Jiaofang Hall together.

However, what they saw today was not the familiar smile of their mother, but the kind and kind face of Empress Dowager Min.

"Grandmother Huang, what about the queen mother?" asked Gillian suspiciously.

Ah Yi and Ah Chun also watched it together.

Gillian and Ah Yi are both nine years old, and Ah Chun is also five years old, and they are no longer ignorant and easy to deceive.

Empress Dowager Min hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "The lady of the Dingbei Hou Mansion is seriously ill, and your queen mother can't rest assured, go back to accompany her for a few days." ”

"These days, the imperial grandmother will accompany you. Be obedient and obedient, and don't cause trouble to your mother. ”

Gu Wanning and Mrs. Tai have a deep relationship, and Empress Dowager Min knows it very well. Therefore, Gu Wanning left the palace and returned home without waiting for her consent, and the Empress Dowager Min was not angry. It's just that I feel sorry for my grandchildren and no one to take care of them, so I simply came to Jiaofang Palace.

Gillian and Ayi glanced at each other, and a sad color appeared in their eyes.

can make Gu Wanning leave everything and leave the palace and return to Dingbeihou Mansion regardless of everything, which shows that Mrs. Tai is seriously ill.

Ah Chun subconsciously said: "We will also go back to the Hou Mansion." ”

"Nonsense!"

It was Ah Yi who scolded Ah Chun: "The queen mother went back to accompany her seriously ill great-grandmother." Wouldn't it be a mess for us to go back? Stay in the palace honestly and attend classes well. If you dare to make a fuss, I'll be the first to beat you!"

Gillian also made a straight face: "Ah Yi is right." Ah Chun, you must not mess around. ”

Ah Chun replied sullenly: "I just said it casually, and I didn't really want to leave the palace." ”

Gillian looked at the Empress Dowager Min: "The imperial grandmother is not too young, she is in charge of palace affairs all day long, and she has to worry about our sisters and brothers." In case of illness from exhaustion, the father and queen mother will be uneasy, and the three of us sisters and brothers will also feel guilty. If the imperial grandmother can trust me, Ah Yi Ah Chun will be taken care of by me. ”

Empress Dowager Min: "......"

Looking at Gillian who was as delicate and heroic as a little adult, Empress Dowager Min was both relieved and a little sour, and reached out to stroke Gillian's hair: "What a sensible child." Okay, the imperial grandmother believes in you, and Ah Yi Ah Chun will be taken care of by you. However, I have to come to see you once a day, otherwise I can't rest assured. ”

Gillian smiled and nodded.

Ah Chun has long been accustomed to listening to Gillian's words, and he did not say anything.

Ah Yi reluctantly rebelled: "You were born only an hour earlier than me. Why do I have to listen to you?"

Gillian raised her fist: "Because you can't beat me." ”

Ah Yi: "......"

Ah Yi's depressed little appearance is really painful.

Empress Dowager Min couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to hug Ah Yi: "Ah Yi, don't be discouraged. In the future, I practiced more in riding and archery lessons, and when boys grew up, their strength was always greater than that of girls. ”

Ah Yi is the most awkward age, and he doesn't want others to treat him as a child. It's just that Empress Dowager Min likes to coax him with the tone of a three-year-old child.

He was about to struggle, and Gillian had already looked at him warningly.

You shouldn't have forgotten what the queen mother commanded!

Of course I didn't forget. You can't disobey your elders, and you can't make your grandmother sad.

Ah Yi didn't move, and honestly let the Empress Dowager Min coax her.

……

Funing Temple.

After Xiao Xu and the ministers discussed politics, they deliberately left Gu Hai.

"Third uncle," in private, Xiao Xu naturally changed his words: "Grandmother is seriously ill, A-Ning can't rest assured, and today she has returned to the Hou Mansion to accompany her grandmother." ”

Gu Hai was startled at first, and then said angrily: "Nonsense!"

"She is pregnant at this time, and she should focus on raising the baby. My mother was seriously ill, and there were people in the house who took care of her. She doesn't stay in the palace well, what do she do when she goes home. ”

In case there is a mistake in this child, not to mention how sad Gu Wanning will be, even the Gu family can't afford it.

Xiao Xu obviously knew Gu Hai's concerns, and said in a low voice: "Third uncle, don't worry. A-Ning's affection for her grandmother, the third uncle understands it better than me. Grandmother is seriously ill, and A-Ning must go back. ”

That's just as well.

Gu Guanning is affectionate and sexual, never soft on those who don't care, but wholeheartedly for those who care. The person she cares about, Mrs. Tai can definitely be in the first place.

Even Xiao Xu doesn't know it.

A-Ning was in a hurry to go back, so he only asked someone to send me a message. ”

Xiao Xu said helplessly: "Actually, I'm also worried about her body. She is pregnant, and when she sees her seriously ill grandmother, her emotions must fluctuate. It's just that my country is busy, and I really don't have time to accompany her back. ”

"I deliberately left the third uncle, just to ask the third uncle to take good care of A-Ning for me. ”

Gu Hai responded without thinking.

……

When Gu Hai returned to the mansion, it was already the right time.

As soon as he stepped into Zhenghe Hall, Gu Hai heard a low laugh that he hadn't seen for a long time. Even the maids who came and went looked much more relaxed than before.

Gu Hai's frowning brows relaxed, and he walked quickly to Mrs. Tai's bedroom.

There were several candlesticks burning in the room, and it was bright.

Mrs. Tai, who had slept all afternoon, was helped to sit and lie on the futon. Gu Wanning was sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding Mrs. Tai medicine.

Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood aside, and Liu also stood with a smile. Gu Jinzhi also came back after Gu Jinli got off duty. A room full of people, popular, and lively even if you don't speak.

Surprisingly, Wu and Cui Junyao, who had not appeared for a long time, also came.

Wu still looks so emaciated, but his spirit is a little better. Cui Junyao's expression was gentle, and her eyes were clear and firm.

Hearing the footsteps, everyone looked over together.

Mrs. Tai even beckoned to Gu Hai: "Third child, come here." ”

In an instant, Gu Hai's throat choked.

These days, he is anxious and anxious, not weaker than the old and young of the Gu family. However, as a man, he shouldered the heavy responsibilities of the imperial court, and at the time of the emergency of the border war, he had no time to stay in the palace to serve Mrs. Tai.

No matter how late he stayed up every day, he insisted on going home just to take a look.

Seeing that Mrs. Tai was seriously ill, he was helpless. He hated himself immensely, and he was even more afraid of the true farewell of heaven and man.

Fortunately, Gu Wanning is back!

With her, the hearts of the scattered people in the Dingbei Hou Mansion will quickly coalesce, and Mrs. Tai will also muster up fighting spirit. Maybe it can really survive this serious illness......

Gu Hai took a deep breath and strode to the bed: "Mother, I'm back." ”

"It's good to be back. "Mrs. Tai's body is still weak, and she is weak to speak. It's just that his cloudy eyes slowly became clear, and his eyebrows also brightened: "Sit down and talk to me." ”

Gu Hai answered and sat down on the chair next to the bed.

Gu Wanning just finished feeding the medicine, carefully wiped the corners of Mrs. Tai's mouth, and then turned his head and smiled at Gu Hai: "Third uncle." ”

Gu Hai's heart warmed, but his face straightened: "When I finish talking to my mother, I will train you again." ”
