Gradually the sun rose in the east, and there was already some light outside the window, and Li Qingzhao fell asleep.

Haoyue and Shujiao couldn't sleep all night, and they were really worried about Li Qingzhao, but Haoyue knew that the young lady had explained to her and asked her not to go again. Therefore, Haoyue thought in her heart: "Miss is sad, she must need a space alone, Haoyue should not disturb her." ”

Shuwan heard that Haoyue said that Li Qingzhao didn't need the two of them to go, so they didn't move anymore. It's just that although the two of them didn't move, they were still concerned about Li Qingzhao, until it was dawn, and the two got up in a hurry and came to the door of Li Qingzhao's room, wanting to see how she was doing.

Haoyue gently pushed the door open, looked inside through the crack in the door, and saw that the young lady looked haggard and closed her eyes, but she didn't look like she was asleep at all.

Shujiao also came over to take a look at this time, and when she saw her sister-in-law's pale face, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, so she burst into tears.

Haoyue retracted her head outward, and saw that Shujiao also retracted her head, and hurriedly closed the door.

Shuwan whispered: "Look at the appearance of Mrs. Sister-in-law, I must have fallen asleep late at night." Those eyes were already bloated. ”

Haoyue lowered her head, also sobbed, and then said: "Let's go to work first, let the young lady sleep well, don't alarm her." ”

At this time, Li Gefei and Li's mother both came over. Mother Li saw Haoyue and Shujuan coming over, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand, pointed at the two of them, and asked, "How is Qingzhao?" ”

Haoyue said with a bitter face: "Miss is still asleep now. But look at her face, very haggard. I guess I went to bed late last night. ”

Mother Li was distressed, closed her mouth, and was about to cry. But he was stopped by the old man reaching out.

Li Gefei shook his head and said: "Hey, Qingzhao, this child is separated from her husband, where is there any reason not to cry?" It's normal for her to go to bed very late. Madame, you don't have to be too sad. Let's go back. ”

Mother Li is worried about her daughter, how can she go back? Therefore, he shook his body and said to the master: "Aren't you Qingzhao's father?" If she has any business, you don't care. ”

Li Gefei hurriedly said: "Why don't I care?" It's just that Qingzhao is really sad for this child, and we went. Doesn't it make her even more painful? Forget it, let's go back. ”

Mother Li shook her head and said, "I can't go back, and my heart is here when I go back." Sir, go back. I went into Kiyoshi's room and looked at her. I'm afraid that she will wake up, and she will be scared alone. ”

Li Gefei said with a straight face: "She is a big girl, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Mother Li shook her head and said, "You don't understand." ”

Li Gefei shook his head. I know I can't talk about it, madam. So he sighed, "Okay, I don't understand." ”

Leaning over and sighing again, Li Gefei said: "Alas, I'm afraid that after Mingcheng returns to Beijing, there will be no more variables, and we will abandon our Qingzhao here, and we will ignore it from now on and don't care about it anymore." This is really going to kill Qingzhao. ”

Mother Li said: "Then you still talk to others honestly." asked him to take a clear photo. ”

Li Gefei hurriedly said: "Isn't that a ploy for me?" The court issued an order for Mingcheng to go back, and Mingcheng resisted the decree. Our Li family can't get out of it. The old man said that, it can be regarded as a good thing to say, Mingcheng heard it, isn't it a little more comfortable? After he returned to Beijing, he asked Zhao Tingzhi to help us and say a few kind words in front of the emperor. We can also be relieved of our culpability. ”

Mother Li glanced at the old man and stopped talking.

Li Gefei then said: "The old man said this, but he also wanted to test Mingcheng and see how he responded. Who knew he was in a hurry. ”

At this point, Li Gefei laughed, but he was satisfied.

Mother Li blamed softly: "You know how to test people." People don't need to be tested by you, they have been honest since they were young, what out-of-the-ordinary things will they do? ”

Li Gefei nodded and said, "It's good not to do anything out of the ordinary." Let's go, the old man will accompany you to see Qingzhao. ”

Retreating the two maids again, Li Gefei and Li's mother stepped forward together, came to the door of Qingzhao's room, gently pushed the door open, and saw that Qingzhao was sleeping with half of his body exposed, and the quilt was kicked so that only half of it was still covered on his body. Mother Li was very unbearable in her heart, and as soon as she stepped forward, she saw Qingzhao rolling all over her body and looked inside.

Mother Li came over, covered the quilt with Qingzhao, and sat on the edge of the bed looking at her again.

It wasn't until almost noon that Li Qingzhao was groggy, woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes slightly, and saw his mother sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly squeezed his eyes, and cried bitterly, hugged his mother, and told his inner grief.

A few days have passed, and it has become a habit for Mother Li and Li Gefei. However, after a few days, Cai Nu and Lu Defu came to see their sister-in-law, which did not cause Li Qingzhao to feel miserable in his heart.

Gradually, the days have been long, and Li Qingzhao is thinking in his heart that Xianggong must have returned to the capital. It's just that he has gone back to study again? Is he still like that every day?

In this way, a few days passed in a hurry, and Li Qingzhao sat in the courtyard, only to see that the old dust had been replaced with new soil, and the yard was still the same. But I was alone in the yard, and I was very lonely.

Day after day, the summer gradually passed, and it was late autumn, but Li Qingzhao was still looking forward to it, hoping that the prime minister could get a letter.

But just as she wrote, who in the clouds sent the brocade book? No one sent it. Shujiao helped her sister-in-law send many letters to the capital, but she still didn't reply.

Seeing this, Li Gefei's heart became more and more depressed, and he also felt disappointed in Mingcheng. Seeing Qingzhao's more and more haggard appearance, he was naturally very sad, so he said to Qingzhao: "Mingcheng's family still has their own things to do, and it's normal not to reply to you, don't be too sad." ”

Li Qingzhao listened to his father's words and knew that he was comforting himself. But my father's words made me very uncomfortable to hear, so I was annoyed instead of thanking my father's words, and said coquettishly: "Daddy said this, does that mean that Xianggong really forgot Qingzhao?" Qingzhao doesn't think so. ”

Li Gefei knew that his daughter was in a sad and painful place, so he didn't annoy her, but said to Qingzhao very patiently: "Okay, Qingzhao, whatever you think." But you still have to be prepared. If Mingcheng doesn't write again, the old man will send someone to the capital and go to Zhao's mansion to inquire. So that he can give you an explanation. If ......"

was about to go down again, but Li Gefei stopped again, thinking in his heart: "I don't want to sprinkle salt on Qingzhao's wound anymore." ”

Squeezing his hands, Li Gefei paused, and said to his daughter: "You have a good rest, pay attention to your body." ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Sister Shujiao also said that Qingzhao should take care of her body. In the future, I will wait for the prime minister to come back. But how many months have passed? Xianggong still failed to return, and did not even reply to a letter. Qingzhao really can't figure it out, therefore. Therefore......"

said several "therefore" in a row, and finally couldn't say it anymore, and Li Qingzhao sobbed again.

Li Gefei was helpless and wanted to say to his daughter: "Presumably Mingcheng has been arranged by Zhao Tingzhi." Married someone else. I just haven't been able to tell you the news. ”

But he was about to speak. Li Gefei thought again, how can he speak? Still don't say anything, so he closed his mouth and turned away again.

Li Qingzhao looked at his father, and he also guessed his father's words in his heart, but although he was also suspicious, he never believed it, and secretly thought: "Xianggong made a promise to Qingzhao when he was leaving. Swear that he will not abandon me. It must be, since that is the case. Qingzhao shouldn't think about it too much, I just hope that the imperial court can issue an order as soon as possible to reconvene our family back to the capital, so that Qingzhao and Xianggong can renew their fate. ”

But thinking about it, I waited for a few more days, and gradually it was cold wind and snow, and winter had arrived, but there was still no news about the public.

Li Qingzhao is already used to being alone, but he just looks at Sister Yun'er and Brother Lu who came to visit him, and sometimes he is even more jealous when he sees the two of them coming with their children in their arms. The family of three is very happy, although Brother Lu and Miss Cai do not have the name of husband and wife, they are already husband and wife. What about yourself? Although he has the status of husband and wife, he no longer has the essence of husband and wife. The two were far apart, as if they were on opposite sides of the sky, but they looked at the sky in the distance, and they didn't know what Xiang Gong was doing at this time.

Will he miss himself?

Or do you pick yourself up from your memory in your spare time?

Li Qingzhao shook his head in distress, he didn't know what to do all day long, and he didn't know why. I always feel that life is just a repetition of myself sitting in front of the table, day after day, and there is nothing new.

Li Gefei also came to visit his daughter, looking at his daughter's appearance, he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he still said to her: "Qingzhao, don't go on like this, the old man has already sent someone to the capital, presumably in the near future, he will bring back news from the capital." When the time comes, whether to keep you as a wife or divorce you, everything will naturally be clear. ”

Although Mother Li comforted her daughter every day, she couldn't help it, and told her daughter the truth, saying: "The vicissitudes of life, no matter how big your determination is, it must have been wiped out by reality." 's mother didn't mean that he was sincere, but after Mingcheng returned to Beijing, he had a famous position, so he was naturally subject to many restrictions, and he was also an ordinary person, so he wanted to reunite his husband and wife. If you don't go back, it's okay for two days a day, but after a long time, Mingcheng must have changed his mind. Don't be sad either, and don't blame him. ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head and said to his mother: "Mother, don't say it anymore, Qingzhao doesn't want to hear it." ”

Mother Li hurriedly patted Qingzhao's shoulder and said to her: "Okay, if you don't want to listen, don't listen, and my mother won't tell you." You still need to make your own decisions about your own affairs, and your mother is still an outsider after all. ”

Li Qingzhao looked at his mother, and he was helpless, just nodded slightly, in fact, he thought the same in his heart, Xianggong is now the time to soar, and his heart will inevitably fluctuate. It's just that he keeps his friendship or says goodbye to himself, he doesn't know.

A few days later, I suddenly heard Lu Defu shouting from the door, saying: "The book in the capital, the book in the capital, sister-in-law, the book in the capital is here." ”

Li Qingzhao was still depressed, but when he heard the words of the Defu brothers, he suddenly felt a spirit, although he felt that this voice was far away from him, but he could hear it clearly!

The book of the capital is coming!

Is it a brocade book?

I don't know, but the Defu brothers came over and said by name that they wanted to see it for themselves, so it must be a letter from Xianggong!

Li Qingzhao had already been crying for two lines, and he didn't care about reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, so he hurriedly went out to look, and saw the Defu brothers flying into the courtyard with a brisk step, looking at him.

Lu Defu and his sister-in-law raised their hands and said, "Sister-in-law, the book has come from the capital, please take a look." ”

Li Qingzhao staggered out of the door, recovered for many days, and the foot injury had already healed, but at this time, Li Qingzhao stumbled a step due to his hurry, and almost wanted to fall. Fortunately, Haoyue on the side supported Miss in time.

Li Qingzhao waved it with one hand, picked Haoyue's hands away, and didn't look at Haoyue, but hurriedly went over to take the letter, only then did he feel a little guilty, and smiled slightly with Haoyue to apologize.

Haoyue didn't care, still looked at Miss, and said to Miss: "Miss, open the letter and see what is written in it." ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Hurriedly opened the letter, Li Qingzhao opened the letter at once, and looked from the beginning to the end, but the more he looked at it, the more demented he became, and finally his face froze.

Lu Defu hurriedly came over, but he still knew that other people's privacy should not be taken lightly, so he didn't step forward, just looked at his sister-in-law's facial expression.

Li Qingzhao stared at the letter blankly, but his hands were trembling, trembling for a long time, and suddenly his fingers loosened, and the letter fell down.

Lu Defu hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Qingzhao muttered alone in his mouth: "Luo Belt has not completed the concentric knot, and the tide of the river has flattened. Hmph, Xianggong wants to ...... Are you going to take a break? ”

Lu Defu glared and said, "What? ”

picked up the letter from the ground, but Lu Defu couldn't bear to read it, and he was still strange in his heart, so he returned the letter to his sister-in-law.

Li Qingzhao looked at the letter, but turned his head, shook his head and said, "I don't read it, you don't give it to me." ”

Lu Defu said: "Sister-in-law, what the hell is going on?" Is it Brother Zhao, did he give you a leave of absence? ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head and said to himself: "I don't believe it." ”

Suddenly turning his head again, Li Qingzhao reached out and grabbed the letter, unfolded it again and took a closer look, seeing that the words on the letter were clear, he read it several times, but after all, he still couldn't see anything wrong.

It's a book of resignation!

It's a book of resignation!

Li Qingzhao said repeatedly: "It's a book of resignation." Hmph, haha, hey, hey, woo......"

Lu Defu hurriedly said: "Is my sister-in-law crazy?" ”

Haoyue cried: "Miss is too sad. Miss, how are you? You go back to the house first, don't be here, to avoid the cold. ”

Li Qingzhao gradually cried louder, shook his head and said, "Xianggong, he divorced me?" I don't believe it, did he divorce me? ”

Haoyue held back her tears and said to Miss: "Miss, go back to the house first, and have something to say." ”

At this time, Li Gefei and Li's mother also hurried over, and they both said, "Has Mingcheng come to write a letter?" (To be continued......)
