Gu Xi didn't stay in the imperial study for a long time, but for the few people waiting outside the door, it was as if they had been tormented for half a lifetime.

As soon as he saw her figure appear at the door of the imperial study, Doudou's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and his legs fell to the ground as soon as he became weak.

Pei Jincheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab her, but he felt panicked in his heart.

He has always felt that his sister is bold, but in fact, when he thinks about it, she has only just turned sixteen, so how can he not be afraid of so many things in his heart.

Doudou was indeed a little scared, but it was not because of what Pei Jincheng was thinking, but because he was worried that His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial study couldn't hold back for a while and fell ill, after all, it was about her own mother who loved her, in case ......

As soon as the brother and sister stood firm, Gu Xi had already trotted over and grabbed her daughter and comforted: "Yuan'er, everything is over, let's go home." ”

After all, it is in the palace, and some words are inconvenient to say directly, but Gu Xi believes that with the wisdom of her children, she should be able to understand the true meaning of her words.

Sure enough, not only the two brothers and sisters of the Pei family, but even Xiangxiang and Zhu Qiao'er showed a look of surprise on their faces.

It's just that none of them thought that the "everything in the past" in Gu Xi's mouth meant not only saving the lives of the whole family, but also everything they have now.

It wasn't until he walked out of the palace and got into the luxurious carriage of the Dingbei Palace that Gu Xi told the good news.

"What?" Doudou and Pei Jincheng couldn't believe their ears at all.

Gu Xi smiled and repeated Fang Cai's words again.

Doudou looked at the only three of them in the carriage, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty didn't embarrass your mother, right?"

It's not that she likes to think too badly of people, it's that cuckolding is too serious, and it is impossible for ordinary men to take it lightly, let alone the king of a country.

And just now she used so much interest to make an exchange and failed to get an accurate answer, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor is not a person who can be easily moved, will things really go so smoothly?

Gu Xi shook his head lightly, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Your Majesty is not a ruthless person, it's just that Pei Tingyu has done things too well...... Your Majesty is so magnanimous, and our family will serve him more faithfully than ever.

But you brothers and sisters should remember that in the future, stay as far away as possible from the center of power, especially Yuan'er, my mother only hopes that you and Huo Xiao will be safe and secure for the rest of your life, and try to have as little trouble with the royal family as possible. ”

Power is a double-edged sword, which can bring people supreme wealth and glory, and can also kill people in an instant.

Her Majesty the Emperor was very touched by her affection, but all she could repay was the loyalty of the whole family.

She believed in his promise of "eternal honor", but because of this, she should be more cautious in her words and deeds, and never act recklessly.

The power of the Dingbei Mansion is more powerful than that of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and the situation that the daughter and son-in-law will have to face in the future will be more complicated.

Doudou and Pei Jincheng didn't plan to get involved, so they responded together: "Mother, we remember." ”

As for Pei Jinhong, who is about to become the master, they are not too worried, Princess Ruiying's biological mother is too low and there is no prince under her knees, so she has nothing to do with those power struggles.

Gu Xi stroked her daughter's little face lovingly and said: "Yuan'er, Your Majesty asked your mother to tell you that the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty is full, and some officials are also rich in their mansions, so you don't need General Huo, the pillar of the country, and his family to cut back on food and clothing, just let you find any way to make money, don't forget him, the emperor's uncle."

I didn't fully understand this, but I saw some account books thrown in front of you before, are you planning to ...... for the Pei family?"

Doudou can certainly understand who some of the "rich" officials are referring to.

To be able to earn back a life from His Majesty, even if the Pei family gives up the wealth accumulated over the years, it is worth it.

Now that the matter has been resolved, she has no intention of hiding it from Gu Xi, and briefly told the matter that Fang had just told Emperor Yongtai.

Gu Xi sighed heavily: "You stupid boy, how can it not be your turn to suffer from the evil things that Pei Tingyu did." If you want to pay for a way to live, it should be the Pei family who thinks of it themselves, and they have benefited from it over the years because of the queen in the house.

Also, my mother was scared to death by you today, you are so clever and sensible on weekdays, how dare you be so casual in front ......of Your Majesty today?

Doudou knew that her mother was worried that she would be angered by His Majesty the Emperor, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I am purely deliberate, and I only appear close at will, Your Majesty likes me and Huo Xiao like this, if there are some things that are not easy to say, my daughter can grasp the measure." ”

Gu Xi naturally understands this truth, but it is just about her only daughter, and she can't do it without worrying.

She took her daughter back into her arms and stroked her smooth hair.

Just now she said that Emperor Yongtai is not a ruthless person, it is not a lie, but she doesn't believe it very much if the king of a country wants to make such a big concession for the sake of that little affection when she was young.

Now that I heard my daughter talk about what happened before, her heart can be considered to be realized.

His Majesty must be clear about how deep the son-in-law's feelings are for his daughter, and now that he understands what kind of temperament his daughter is, he has a full grasp of the loyalty of the Huo family for decades to come.

Saving the life of the Pei family and her Gu Xi's honor can be regarded as further consolidating Huo Xiao's loyalty.

By the way, he can still be disgusted with Pei Tingyu, why not His Majesty the Emperor?

Thinking of this, she showed a warm and warm smile on her face: "It's been a long time since it's been so easy, today our family must have a good meal together, and Jin Cheng will go to the yamen to invite your father back later." ”

Pei Jincheng also looked relaxed and happily responded to the task arranged by his mother.

Speaking of Emperor Yongtai, after watching the woman who had been in love for decades leave the imperial study, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

"Little Guzi. He turned his head to look at Gao Gu who was standing aside, and said, "Have the queen and the concubine returned to the palace?"

Gao Gu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the two Niangniang and Mrs. Wu Ninghou arrived at the palace with their front and back feet, and they have already returned to the palace separately. ”

"Are you okay?" Liu Shun's injury naturally couldn't be hidden from Emperor Yongtai, but he didn't have time to ask.

Gao Gu said: "The master is fine, but he is still a little weak, he originally wanted to come to His Majesty to say goodbye, but Mrs. Hou ...... The minion will call him. ”

Emperor Yongtai waved his hand and said, "Let him have a good life, have you inquired about the situation of the queen?"

Gao Gu hurriedly reported that the queen mother was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, and she probably died soon.

Emperor Yongtai sneered: "Let people go and ask the Gongsun Divine Doctor who returned to the palace with me, and tell him to do everything possible to save the queen's life." ”

Gao Gu is also a smart person, knowing that the queen mother probably won't be able to turn over, Your Majesty doesn't want her to die easily, and wants her to live to suffer!

"Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yongtai said again: "Also, you go and tell Dark Eagle and ask him to bring Yuwenhao to the imperial study immediately." ”
