Chapter Seventy-Nine; Hold the cards in one hand

Empress Dowager Xue's lips were pale and dry, and she was already weak at this time, but after listening to Xiao Wanyao's words, she gently closed her eyes again, and she understood Xiao Wanyao's meaning.

Licorice brought a bowl of water, and Xiao Wanyao didn't dare to give it to Empress Dowager Xue directly, so she could only use clean gauze dipped in water and wipe it for Empress Dowager Xue little by little.

"Lord Huang, I want to trouble you to go out and pass a message to the saint to tell him about the situation inside, and then you can go back to rest, just come over tomorrow morning, it's more reassuring to have Wan Yao guarding here." Although Xiao Wanyao was a little tired, she still said so.

Imperial Doctor Huang weighed it left and right, and still felt that what Xiao Wanyao said was reasonable, so he didn't force him to stay tonight, after all, it was too inconvenient for him to guard the Queen Mother at night.

"Then I'll retire first, I'll sleep in the class room of the Yongshou Hall tonight, Miss Xiao Er has something, you can let the licorice girl come to find you at any time." Imperial Doctor Huang said, and then withdrew.

It was already dark outside, Tang Siqi had never left a single step, Xue Qingyi had already been by his side, and Xue Tianao was also worried about his aunt, so he had to come and see.

Finally, the door opened, and it was Huang Yuehuang Imperial Doctor who came out to help, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment trotted in front of Tang Siqi and said: "The Holy Saint, the Queen Mother's operation was carried out smoothly, and now she has ......woken up."

Tang Siqi was ecstatic when he heard it: "It's a success!" The widow wants to see ......"

"Holy ......" Huang Yue hurriedly stopped Tang Siqi, "The Queen Mother is weak now, and people from outside will inevitably bring some dirty things into the house, which is likely to cause infection of the wound, please think twice!" ”

Huang Yue wanted to rest, but was frightened awake by Tang Siqi, who was ecstatic after learning the news, and hurriedly stopped Tang Siqi from going over.

Tang Siqi stopped where he was after hearing this, and gave up after a few struggles, his face could not hide his exhaustion.

"Miss Xiao Er asked the minister to tell the saint that now that the crisis has passed, please go back to the Xuanshu Hall to rest first, and as soon as there is news, she will notify the saint in time, the saint ...... Take care of your dragon's body. Huang Yue said.

Tang Siqi nodded: "It's hard to love Qing, the widow will go back first." ”

Then Xue Qingyi followed Tang Siqi and left, but Xue Tianao insisted on staying here, the reason was that he was worried about his aunt and wanted to stay here.

He Tang Siqi was not reluctant, he was also tired at this time, so he didn't force Xue Tianao to go back with him, but just went back to rest early, and then left.

The sky was already cold, and the little eunuch who was waiting beside Xue Tianao thoughtfully made a pot of hot tea for Xue Tianao, and also brought a thin blanket to cover Xue Tianao's lap.

And Xue Tianao didn't have the intention of drinking tea at this time, just looking at the door from a distance, he was more worried about the thin figure, obviously she could accept Xue Tianao's help, but she also stubbornly refused, and had to fight alone......

Obviously, she can not do this, she just needs to accept his protection with peace of mind.

Xiao Wanyao didn't know anything about Xue Tianao's company, although it was only separated by a door, Xiao Wanyao couldn't see Xue Tianao's figure.

After feeding Empress Dowager Xue the pills she had prepared before, Xiao Wanyao still didn't dare to leave for a moment, so she asked Licorice to take a thin blanket and sit on a chair next to her after covering her body.

"Second Miss sleep at ease, whatever happens to the Queen Mother, the slave will wake you up." Licorice said.

Xiao Wanyao reluctantly smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, licorice ......"

Licorice shook her head: "The slave is not tired, she is so tired that the second lady is busy, and she has been busy for a whole day......"

Xiao Wanyao glanced at the licorice again with a relieved expression, and then curled up quietly on the chair and fell asleep.

Across the door, Xue Tianao outside the door also rested quietly in the same posture, if Xiao Wanyao could see it, she would definitely remember that a year ago, Xue Tianao knelt outside the door for the engagement, and he had been guarding Xiao Wanyao in his own way, without regrets.

I don't know if Xiao Wanyao will be moved by this?

It was late at night, licorice and Xiao Zhuangzi took turns guarding Empress Dowager Xue in the quiet night, and Xiao Wanyao, who was already extremely tired, still had to wake up from time to time to see how Empress Dowager Xue was doing.

And Xue Tianao woke up many times throughout the night, and the only thing he could do was to stare at the door in a daze.

Xiao Wanyao spent the next three days like this, she never left the room for three days, Empress Dowager Xue was completely awake, but the wound had not healed, and she didn't dare to move lightly, every day Xiao Wanyao had to change the dressing for Empress Dowager Xue extremely carefully, every time she saw the wound the size of a bowl on her leg, Xiao Wanyao still felt frightened.

Although she drinks medicine every day to relieve pain, that kind of huge pain is still unimaginable for Xiao Wanyao.

Xue Tianao has also been guarding outside for the past three days, and every time he sees the food that the eunuch puts at the door is almost untouched, Xue Tianao feels very sorry for Xiao Wanyao, but he is helpless.

Xiao Wanyao eats very little every day, and under great pressure, people often have no appetite.

Watching Empress Dowager Xue improve day by day, Xiao Wanyao's mood is also a lot lighter, in a few days, Empress Dowager Xue can be carried back to the dormitory to slowly recuperate, and Tang Siqi can see her mother, then she only needs to finish the finishing work and leave safely.

Seven days later, Empress Dowager Xue was able to eat normally, Tang Siqi came to see her mother first, and then let her carefully carry her mother back to the dormitory, and the long treatment was finally over!

Xiao Wanyao was temporarily relieved, and the nursing work in the future mainly relied on the Tai Hospital to complete, although she still had some things of her own, but she was not in a hurry, now what she wanted to do most was to take a hot bath, for the sake of Empress Dowager Xue, she had not taken a formal bath for more than ten days, and now she can't bear it anymore!

Xiao Zhuangzi first went back to the side hall to boil hot water, and licorice helped Xiao Wanyao out of the house, it felt good to see the light of day again! Xiao Wanyao looked at the blue sky and almost fainted.

"Be careful......" Xue Tianao supported her on the side and said with a little anger.

I haven't seen her for a month and a half, why has she lost weight again?! The whole person was as thin as a piece of paper, as if the wind could blow her away, and her wrists didn't feel like flesh when they touched it......

Xue Tianao's mouth was on fire, but his eyes were full of pity.

Xiao Wanyao smiled reluctantly, and then left without saying anything, fortunately, the side hall was only a few steps away from here, Xiao Wanyao drank a glass of honey water after going back, and then took a bath with the help of licorice.

After that, Xiao Wanyao lay on the bed and fell asleep without any scruples, for the first time in her life, she felt that she could sleep without restrictions, what a happy thing!

Licorice was also tired, seeing that Xiao Wanyao finally fell asleep, she also yawned for a while, so she also lay on the soft couch and fell asleep.

The most painful days have passed, and the next thing is to wait to leave the palace.

Tang Siqi has been staying in the Yongshou Palace every day since his mother returned to the palace, and he simply reviewed the folds here, and once his mother woke up, he immediately put down the work in his hand to accompany his mother, and this matter was also known both inside and outside the government, and the evaluation of Tang Siqi was also very good, saying that he was a filial piety king and could be an example for the people of the world to put filial piety first.

And Empress Dowager Xue also recovered very well, but she needed to recuperate most of the time.

Xiao Wanyao watched that all the qiē were developing in a good direction, and couldn't help but feel at ease, her life in the court was finally coming to an end.

And at this time, Xiao Lizi came.

"Second Miss, the Holy One has asked you to go to the main hall." Xiao Lizi said.

Xiao Wanyao felt strange at this time, Tang Siqi has rarely met her since the enclosure incident, due to Xiao Wanyao's attitude, the relationship between the two has been estranged a lot, and now that Empress Dowager Xue has not recovered, Tang Siqi will not let her out of the palace now, so what is the purpose of looking for her at this time?

"The saint has been in a mood of uncertainty recently, so Second Miss, the minions can't help you, you can only improvise." Xiao Lizi said frankly that since the Queen Mother was sick, she had never seen her brows stretched on Tang Siqi's face.

Just now I asked Xiao Li Zichuan Xiao Wanyao to come over, and she also looked impatient.

Xiao Wanyao nodded, her heart was also complicated, and after entering the main hall, she saw Tang Siqi still sitting quietly in front of the desk, and her face became more and more white with a black robe.

"You've lost weight." Tang Siqi spoke, his voice was faintly hoarse, and he raised his hand to beckon her to come and sit down.

Xiao Wanyao was silent, but sat quietly opposite Tang Siqi after the salute.

Tang Siqi was not annoyed by her, but just asked Xiao Lizi to bring the chessboard, and then said: "I haven't played chess for half a year, right?" I don't know if your chess skills have improved? ”

Looking at the chessboard staggered by the early warp and weft, Xiao Wanyao felt tired, since she met Tang Siqi in this life, every time she played a game of chess, she would lose something, or gain something, they seemed to have been using games to decide who would compromise on a matter, there was no simple game between them, some just had their own thoughts for their own interests.

Right now, Tang Siqi specially called her over, just to play a game of chess, and Xiao Wanyao naturally knew that it was not just as simple as playing chess.

Should I win or lose? Xiao Wanyao could still measure it before, but now she can only win, she can't compromise anything with Tang Siqi, but regarding the game, Xiao Wanyao has never seen Tang Siqi's true strength, this is not her strong point, if Tang Siqi gets serious, can she still win?

"Why are you in a daze?" Tang Siqi held the white jade chess pieces in one hand and the black jade chess pieces in the other, and said coldly, "This time the order is up to you to choose, and there are no conditions attached to the widow." ”

Xiao Wanyao's fingers trembled slightly, and she didn't know why Xiao Wanyao always felt that today didn't seem to be easy.

"Then Wan Yao is welcome." Xiao Wanyao said, taking the ink jade from Tang Siqi's hand, the cold ink jade made Xiao Wanyao's back chill, Xiao Wanyao was optimistic about the corner of the chessboard, and then settled the ink jade.

She didn't see it, and the corners of Tang Siqi's mouth crossed a smile that was not easy to detect. R1154
