As soon as I returned to the palace, I saw a person circling outside the palace gate, "Who are you?" Qin'er stepped forward to ask. Because this is the Regent's Palace, ordinary people will not come here, and looking at this person's dress, it should be a report of things.

"I'm looking for Miss Two." The man saluted respectfully, and turned his eyes to look at the carriage behind him, looking very anxious.

Ouyang Xue jumped out of the carriage and came closer, "Are you?" "Only people in Xiangguo Mansion call her Second Miss, and this person Ouyang Xue has never seen her.

"I'm a newcomer to Xiangguo Mansion, and the second lady is called Xiao Xiaoshunzi. Sangkook is sick and wants to see the second lady. The little one came to pick up the second lady. Xiao Shunzi lowered her head and replied.

"Do you have a waist card for Xiangguofu? How do I know if you are from Xiangguofu? Qin'er continued to look Xiao Shunzi up and down.

"Here, it's a minor oversight." Xiao Shunzi took the waist card to Qin'er. After Qin'er saw it, she confirmed Xiao Shunzi's identity and returned it.

"Then let's go now! Is my father seriously ill? Ouyang Xue pulled Xiao Shunzi up and asked eagerly.

"This Xiangguo Lord is not allowed to be too small, and I ask the second lady to forgive me." Xiao Shunzi said and went to bring the carriage and stood there waiting for Ouyang Xue. Ouyang Xue got into the carriage with some worry. Zhao Tianyi stood in place and watched, he wanted to go to Xiangguo's mansion together, but it seemed that Xiangguo was a little anxious, and it might be inconvenient to go. So let Ouyang Xue get into the carriage alone.

Zhao Tianyi couldn't settle down after returning to Tianyi Pavilion, and after thinking about it, he still didn't worry about letting Ouyang Xue be alone in Xiangguo Mansion. Immediately, one of them rode to Xiangguo's mansion.

"The second lady Xiangguo's mansion has arrived." Xiao Shunzi said softly. Immediately, Ouyang Xue got out of the carriage and entered the Xiangguo Mansion with the help of Qin'er.

Xiang Guo sat upright in the main hall and didn't see any discomfort. In fact, Xiangguo's body had already been abnormal before Ouyang Xue got married, and the news had been blocked in order to attract people's ears, and Xiangguo had symptoms of coughing up blood recently, and even the imperial doctor was helpless. Xiangguo is afraid that his time is running out, and the person who can't rest assured is his second daughter. So I want to see Ouyang Xue for the last time if I can still hold on. Ouyang Xue never knew about her father's condition. Although she has correspondence with her father on weekdays, after all, the person she married is the regent, so she can't always go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to live permanently.

"Father, your face is not very good-looking, what is the disease?" The moment she saw her father, Ouyang Xue was frightened, her father looked a lot thinner, and his face became more and more pale. Ouyang Xue threw herself directly into her father's lap. Tears rolled in his eyes unconsciously. When he was in Xiangguofu, his father was the one who loved him the most. Such a kind old man is now sick like this.

"Xue'er is back, just come back, sit, sit down." The father struggled to help Ouyang Xue up. Pointing to the seat next to her, he motioned for her to sit down and talk. He waved his hand to the people on the side, and the others all withdrew.

"The old man has something to ask for. I hope Xue'er can agree! The father looked at Ouyang Xue with a pleading gaze, that was the only wish of the father.

"Father, please speak, my daughter will promise everything, I just hope you can be well." Ouyang Xue replied without thinking.

"The old man has been with the king for many years, and he knows the sinister in the palace. Now that the emperor has not written an edict, the palace will not be peaceful. The old man hopes that you can keep the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter what happens in the future, can you agree? "My father stuffed the key to Xiangguo's Mansion in Ouyang Xue's hand. Because he knew that if he was gone one day, his concubine would probably do something unfavorable to the Xiangguo Mansion. Xiangguo has been honest all his life, and he doesn't want to leave an infamy after death.

Ouyang Xue clutched the key tightly, "Father, there's something wrong with this, right?" The third brother is a virtuous person, I am just a woman, and I am afraid that I will be difficult to obey my fate. Moreover, Ouyang Zhen is the only male in the Ouyang family. Ouyang Xue didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the mansion gates, because she believed that Li Tianyi would take care of her for the rest of her life. Even if Li Tianyi won't love her for the rest of his life, he will be responsible for her life, and that's enough.

"What worries about my father is your second mother and your sister, as for Zhen'er, he is indeed a good boy, but he is still young and has no military merits, how do you tell him to defend the Xiangguo Mansion?" After my father finished speaking, he coughed violently several times. It took a long time for the gasp to calm down.

"Then I'll give him the key in the future." Ouyang Xue looked at the key and said sincerely.

"Then so be it! The old man is tired, go back to the palace! Remember to put it away. The regent is a good man, you have to know the blessings! My father commanded in the end.

"My daughter wants to stay and accompany her father......" Before Ouyang Xue finished speaking, she was rejected by her father. Ouyang Xue would not have thought that this was the last time her father would see her.

Seeing that her father was very resolute, Ouyang Xue didn't dare to continue, and knelt down to say goodbye to her father. Ouyang Xue had just walked out of the door of the main hall, and his father forcibly spurted out a mouthful of blood, he was sick from labor, and he was already lawless, so he also gave up continuing to drink medicine. didn't want her daughter to know, so she ruthlessly let Ouyang Xue return to the palace.
