Chapter 1171: House Arrest (3)
This earth-shattering remark shocked everyone.
Especially Xiao Guizi and Mu Tao, who were already shocked at this time, looking at Gu Wanning's gaze, as if looking at a stranger.
Could it be that this is Gu Wanning's real plan?
What she wants to do is not the queen of the middle palace, but the queen mother of the ruling and opposition?
Fortunately, the two of them were sensible at this time, and they soon came to their senses. These words were obviously Gu Guanning's words to deter "Xiao Xu". With Gu Guanning's city government, if it really has such a plan, it will not be announced at all.
Obviously, "Xiao Xu" also thought of this. The horror in his eyes receded slightly, but he also fell completely silent.
There is one thing Gu Wanning is not wrong.
At least for now, she is a knife warrior, and he is a fish and meat.
Unscrupulous words will only make her angry and disgusted, and she will just toss him, and there is no benefit at all.
There was an instant silence in the dormitory. Only Mu Tao helped "Xiao Xu" to walk around the room and made a subtle sound.
After a while, Xu Cangcai stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, today's activity is enough, it's time for the emperor to sleep in peace." ”
Gu Wanning nodded slightly.
The decoction of "calming the nerves" has long been prepared.
When the little nobleman was serving the decoction, he unexpectedly found that "Xiao Xu" was not as angry as before, and he scolded angrily at every turn, and the handsome face that was extremely familiar was expressionless, making people unable to see why.
Xiao Guizi subconsciously glanced at Gu Wanning, who was also expressionless, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Forget it, he's better do what he is told!
They don't have the ability to deal with "Xiao Xu", and it's always right to listen to Gu Guanning.
……
There is no angry sneering eyes, no more contemptuous and disdainful sneers. "Xiao Xu", who fell into a deep sleep, had a calm face, exactly the same as she remembered.
Gu Wanning sat on the edge of the bed and ordered without looking back: "You all stand down." ”
Needless to say, Lin Lang and the others have no idea of their own, and they all obey the order.
The crowd quickly withdrew.
In the bedroom, only "Xiao Xu" lying on the bed remained, and Gu Wanning sitting on the edge of the bed.
There was no one around, Gu Wanning didn't have to pretend to hide anymore, and his face finally showed a little tiredness.
"Xiao Xu, where are you?"
She muttered under her breath, and gently reached out her hand, caressing her familiar eyebrows. When the fingertips touched the warm skin, they quickly retracted, and a glimmer of water flashed in their eyes.
Only at this moment will she indulge herself in a moment of weakness and indulge herself in missing Xiao Xu.
"Xiao Xu, I know you must still be there. ”
She whispered: "In my previous life, you were by my side for decades, and now, you may be the same, surrounded by me, but I didn't notice it. ”
"Don't worry, I won't let you leave quietly. I'll do whatever it takes to get you back!"
In the air, there seemed to be a silent sigh.
A breeze blew from nowhere, gently brushing the ends of Gu Wanning's hair.
……
All the palace people in the Jiaofang Hall are not allowed to go near the dormitory. Only six people, including Linlang, can enter and leave the dormitory. It was announced to the public that the Son of Heaven was seriously ill and needed to recuperate.
Linglong and Linlang were guarding the door at this time.
Through the thick door panel, the two of them could not hear the movement in the room, but they could imagine what the scene was.
Linglong's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was extremely low: "Niangniang must have been very sad when she said those words before." ”
Linlang's eyes also quietly turned red, and there was a choked meaning in her voice: "Niangniang has been pretending to be calm these days, and I don't know how uncomfortable it is!"
Oh, yes!
No matter how strong Gu Wanning is, she is also a woman with flesh, blood and feelings. Of course, he will not hesitate to make a move against the enemy, but now, Gu Wanning's "enemy" is "Xiao Xu".
What is it like to strike at the face of the man you love?
Linlang and Linglong thought about it a little bit for themselves, and they felt that their hearts were like knives.
Linlang sniffed, cheered up and said, "There's no other way now." Niangniang's words at least shocked him and made him dare not toss around. ”
"When the mother comes out later, don't talk too much. so as not to make the mother sad. ”
Linglong nodded and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
After a few moments, the door opened.
Gu Wanning's face had regained his composure and walked out slowly. Except for the slight infrared at the corners of his eyes, there is no trace of sadness and weakness.
"Little nobleman, Mu Tao, you two go to the bedroom and keep guard. If there is any abnormality, come and report to the palace immediately. ”
The little noble son Mu Tao received the order in unison and entered the bedroom.
……
In a blink of an eye, "Xiao Xu" had been ill for seven or eight days.
Empress Dowager Min still came every day, but after listening to Xu Cang's "serious talk" persuasion, she did not insist on visiting Xiao Xu after she came. Just ask a few words.
"Guan Ning, has Ah Xu woken up now?" asked Empress Dowager Min with hope.
Gu Wanning was a little apologetic: "It's really unfortunate that my mother came to death, and the emperor fell asleep again after waking up." ”
Empress Dowager Min habitually sighed in disappointment.
However, she quickly perked up again: "It's good to wake up." With you by his side, I don't have anything to worry about. ”
Looking at the Empress Dowager Min with a strong smile on her face, Gu Wanning's heart was sour. It's like eating a bite of yellow lotus, and the bitterness spreads from the mouth to the abdomen, and then to the whole body.
"Guan Ning, when will Ah Xu's illness be cured?" Empress Dowager Min continued to ask with anticipation.
Gu Guanning calmed down and coaxed softly: "The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and he is blessed by God." With someone like Xu Cang who is a skilled doctor, he will definitely be fine, and he will definitely get better soon. The queen mother need not worry. ”
The same thing Gu Guanning has to say almost every day. At this time, it was easy to speak, and it was very fluent.
Empress Dowager Min also got some comfort in the reassurance over and over again. Cheered up and smiled, "That's what you said." I'm cranky all day long, and that's a really bad thing. ”
"You have to take care of the six palace locks every day, you have to be busy taking care of Ah Xu, and you have children to take care of. I, the queen mother, have nothing to do, I can't help, I will only make trouble for you. ”
The more Empress Dowager Min spoke, the more guilty she became.
Gu Wanning couldn't help but say something to appease him again, and his eyes swept over Empress Dowager Min's bun.
Empress Dowager Min has always been extremely well maintained, and she is not half old. In the past few days, a lot of gray hair has grown. Repeated white hair is mixed with black hair, which looks particularly dazzling.
If you talk about worrying, who can compare to the Empress Dowager Min, who loves her son like her life?
Gu Wanning's eyes quietly heated, and his face became more and more calm and calm.
The three Gillian sisters and brothers also came back from the upper study. Coupled with the little four running around, the Jiaofang Hall immediately became noisy.
The sentimental Empress Dowager Min suddenly improved her mood after seeing her four grandchildren. After finishing lunch in the Jiaofang Palace, I returned to Cining Palace.
Gillian and Ah Yi came to Gu Guanning together: "Queen Mother, we want to see our father." ”
