She'd never called him that before. Before the incident at sea, she called him Qi Mu. Later, after the two fell in love, she called him on weekdays, Jinyu, and when she was angry, she would call him Qi Mu.

But now...... Her title is Grandpa Guo.

Pretty much treating him like a stranger, right? He originally hoped to see a little affection in her eyes, but at this time, he found that his heart was already dead.

"I ......"

Qing Chu smiled softly.

"Grandpa Guo, your concubine An has been happy recently, if Grandpa Guo is not so busy with official business, it is better to go and see her."

Qi Mu longed in his heart that Qing Chu said this because of the jealousy in his heart, he was jealous, but seeing her smiling so calmly, he really couldn't deceive himself.

Originally...... Is it true that she doesn't take him to heart at all?

He seems to want to carve her like this into his heart, but he seems to want to completely forget her like this. What he hopes to see is that Wei Qingchu, who is radiant and has his eyes and heart!

He finally turned away.

Cuizhu looked at his back, and then looked at Qingchu, and the bitterness in his heart became more and more.

It doesn't matter if it's sunny at the beginning. Anyway, the person who loves Qi Mu with all her heart is the original owner, not her. But even if it was the original owner, from the world information she had mastered, it seemed that the original owner had already been determined by Qi Mu later.

At dusk.

Because of Qingchu's illness, she can also stay in her courtyard all day long, without needing to ask the old Duchess and the Bai family for peace. Therefore, she does not need to eat together as a family like other families, and can eat in her own yard.

It's just that in the face of the excellent aromatic food on the table, Qing Chu couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth. There's a bowl of medicine there.

She couldn't help but regret a little, why didn't she fake her death and leave earlier. The two girls who gave birth to her were so concerned about her body that she couldn't do it if she wanted to secretly pour it down. knew that her young lady had been the two girls who hated taking medicine the most since she was a child, but every time she watched her take the medicine seriously, she was willing to give up after drinking the medicine.

However, it is estimated that this medicine will not need to be taken for many days, so I will simply drink it tonight.

Her straightforward attitude made the two little girls couldn't help but be startled. Why did the young lady, who is always reluctant to drink medicine on weekdays, drink so fast for so long today?

Qing Chu picked up a candied fruit, and when she was about to put it in her mouth, she saw Qi Mu coming in.

Her fingertips paused slightly, and then she ate the candied fruit casually, letting the sweet taste spread in her mouth, washing away the bitterness.

In fact, her medicine should have been taken a quarter of an hour before the meal, but she had been grinding, so it was delayed until this time.

Qi Mu naturally knew this. He went to ask the envoy of the Zheng Yuan today about all the details related to Qingchu's condition. Seeing this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and swept towards the hearts and green bamboos.

Qingchu hurriedly said: "Cuizhu, red hearts, you two go out." ”

"But ......" Red Hearts looked at Qi Mu and hesitated.

"Get out." Qing Chu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Go to the kitchen and get an extra pair of chopsticks." Qi Mu said lightly.

The two little girls hurriedly went to the kitchen.

Qing Chu glanced at him, didn't speak, just began to eat quietly with vegetables.

Qi Mu sighed and sat down beside Qing Chu. Was she afraid that he would bully her two little girls? Knowing how protective she is for the people around her, how can she do this? Wait a minute! If she was really scared like that...... Does that mean that she believes she genuinely cares about her? Although he was not happy that they couldn't let her take medicine, he didn't dare to do anything to them now.

But would she think so? Or does she really want to have some alone time with her? Or is it something else?

Qi Mu had several thoughts in his heart at once, but he felt that it was unlikely. He had no choice but to put these thoughts aside and just quietly watch her eat gracefully.

The corners of his lips rose slightly. Even if he could only look at her like this, by her side, he already felt a little more satisfied in his heart. There was not much time left, and he just hoped that he could be by her side all the time.

After leaving the house of the envoy of the Zheng Yuan today, he went to the palace again to explain the situation to the emperor, and he could accompany her wholeheartedly until Qing Chu died or recovered.

Cuizhu finally came in with a pair of chopsticks.

Qi Mu picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised fish, and sent it to the bowl of Qingchu.

"It's your favorite food, eat more."

"Thank you, Grandpa Guo." Qing Chu's voice replied in such a flat voice.

Qi Mu's heart hurt again, but he still smiled.

"At the beginning, you don't have to be so polite as me. We're husband and wife. He smiled, hoping to see a smile in her eyes.

But Qing Chu just tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Hmm."

She just replied.

Qi Mu's smile dimmed, and then he tried hard to make himself smile. He hadn't eaten dinner either, and he didn't have much appetite for these delicacies at this time. But seeing that Qing Chu ate so little, Qi Mu couldn't help but feel a little worried. It's no wonder that she is getting thinner and thinner, even thinner than when she first got married.

He thought so. Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that since he and Qing Chu got married, although they tried to avoid her as much as possible, they were always able to meet at some times. So in those few meetings, he had deeply engraved her appearance at that time into his heart.

He continued to serve the vegetables to Harumu in earnest.

It's just that those dishes are gradually piling up in the bowl of Qingchu.

"Chuchu, eat more, you're too thin." He finally couldn't help but persuade.

Qing Chu was originally just looking at the food, but at this time, he looked at him and smiled slightly.

Just when he was amazed by Qing Chu's smile, Qing Chu had already put away his smile and moved the food he had sandwiched into his bowl to his bowl again.

"You don't eat much, either."

Just such a sentence made Qi Mu's heart gush with infinite warmth.

"Good. But you also have to eat more. ”

"Hmm."

Qing Chu nodded in response.

The next thing was for the two to eat quietly.

Cuizhu watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but be a little happy. Miss's meal is indeed much more than usual. Seeing that she ate so little before, she was also worried!

Qi Mu didn't know how much she ate on weekdays, but when he saw Cuizhu's happiness, he sighed more and more in his heart, what kind of life she lived in those days that he didn't know. (To be continued.) )
