Guo Yan and Xue Chu'er got along, and he didn't want to hide it from Nianyun, after being broken by her, he knew that sooner or later, the rest of the Guo family would also know, so he planned to find an opportunity to discuss with the third uncle.

But unfortunately, Princess Shengping sent him to run errands in those days, and he was not available for a while, and after a while, when he wanted to go to see Guo Xi, he heard that Guo Xi was sick, and his condition was menacing and very dangerous.

The Guo family reported to the saint on the one hand, and sent people to the East Palace to report to Nianyun.

In addition to the grief, the saint crowned Guo Xi as the Duke of Zhao Guo, ordered the prince to visit him in person, and especially allowed the wife of Guangling County Guo to return to her parents' home to visit the sick and serve the sick. In addition, in order to show his special favor to the Guo family, he canonized Guo Jun as Wei Weiqing.

Nianyun therefore got the special permission of the prince to temporarily go back to Pingfu to live, and Li Chun personally sent her back with his own car.

Guo Xi's status and influence in the court are extraordinary, and it would not be a good thing for the Guo family to lose him. The faces of several masters of the Guo family were not good-looking, and the people up and down the house were calm and did not dare to laugh, and they were busy going in and out.

Previously, the third uncle was blind when he saw Nian Yun, so several elders did not let her in, she only took a quiet look at the door while the third uncle was asleep, and saw him with gray hair and extremely old lying on the bed.

It was the beginning of summer, and he was still covered with a thick quilt, his eyes were deep-set, and his face was withered.

Li Chun went to visit Guo Xi, who was awake at that time.

Guo Yu said in his ear: "Third brother, His Royal Highness the King of the County has come to see you!" ”

"The King of the County!"

Guo Xi, who was dying in the twilight, sat up, groped, and suddenly pulled Li Chun with his withered branch-like hand: "Little Junwang, you came to see me, I ...... I...... I'm not...... Go find her, I won't stop you......"

Li Chun was still at a loss, Guo Yu, who was guarding the side, quickly understood, hurriedly supported Guo Yu, and explained to him softly: "It's not the king of Fengjie County, the king of Fengjie County has already ascended the throne as the emperor, this is the king of Guangling County, and the king of Guangling County who married our eleventh mother......"

Guo Xi ignored him, still as if he was immersed in his own world: "Who did he marry?" Did he marry Zhuo'er? Or did Zhuoer agree to go with him? Zhuoer ......"

He sighed, and he burst into tears.

"Suit, don't embarrass her. I don't expect you to treat her wholeheartedly, but if one day she is old and decrepit, I beg you to be gentle with her and give her a stable life, okay? Even if it's a cold palace...... She doesn't understand those flattery, you have to protect her......"

Guo Yu said to Li Chun helplessly: "Now the prince is not very clear, and he has said some nonsense, His Royal Highness doesn't mind......"

Li Chun was a little stunned at first, but as shrewd as he was, he soon understood what Guo Xi said. It is suitable for the name of the saint, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he also knows some of the old masters in the palace.

Zhuo'er in his mouth is Nianyun's Aunt Wei, and in the end, Guo Xi's worries still came true, and the saint failed to protect her, making her victimized and disheartened to avoid Jiangnan.

Thinking about it, Guo Xi probably loved Webster deeply, and at this time, he was still thinking about him, and he still regarded him as his grandfather when he was young.

Guo Xi looked up at him, as if full of anticipation.

Li Chun patted his hand gently, "Don't worry, don't worry—I'll treat her well." ”

Guo Xi got his promise, nodded gratefully, let go of his hand, and closed his eyes slightly.

Li Chun accompanied Nianyun to stay in the princess's mansion for a day and then returned to the East Palace, and before leaving, he specially took care that Nianyun could stay at home for a few more days.

The people of Shengping Mansion and Guo Mansion were extremely polite to her because Nianyun was favored in the East Palace, and they were far more respectful than before, but they inexplicably felt alienated, as if receiving a distinguished guest.

Because everyone knows in their hearts that after the Guo family lost Guo Xi, the most important reliance of the Guo family is the East Palace.

But when she saw Guo Yan, she felt cordial, and suddenly felt like she was going home, and greeted her sweetly: "Third brother!" ”

Guo Yan came to see her with a few things, and put them on a few casually: "I saw that they were busy, so I went to buy a few snacks you like." ”

Nian Yun opened the oil paper bags one by one, and there were some cooked foods, cakes, and a few fresh melons and fruits, all of which she loved to eat.

There is also a food box, open to see, there are a few steaming home-cooked side dishes, full of aroma.

Nian Yun was pleasantly surprised, "And these!" ”

Guo Yan smiled: "They always treat you as a distinguished guest, serving a bunch of big fish and meat, I see that you use very little, and I think that you always think that you can't eat greasy meat and fish." ”

That is, he noticed that there was something at home, and when he was depressed, he naturally couldn't eat such a big meat.

She pulled Guo Yan to sit down together, as if she had just returned to Chang'an from Yangzhou.

Nian Yun squinted his eyes and smiled while eating: "Third brother, I feel that during the time I am away, you are more and more able to take care of people." ”

Guo Yan also smiled: "Really? ”

"Really. You were recruited from the truth, were you Xue Chuer** out? ”

Speaking of her, Guo Yan had a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, but he pretended to be thoughtful: "Your brother and I are so smart, if there are people who really want to care, I will naturally do it." ”

Nian Yun remembered something and asked, "Have you talked to the third uncle about this?" ”

Guo Yan shook his head: "I was just looking for a chance to say that the third uncle was sick." You can also see that he always sleeps a lot, and when he wakes up, he is not too awake, and he is always talking about the past. I'm afraid his days are numbered......"

In this family, the only person who is likely to support this matter is about the third uncle, and in his current situation, he can't bother him with these things.

After the meal was stopped, he ordered the fennel to remove the food, and then he reclined on the arhat bed and spoke.

The two of them were tired of talking, and their voices gradually intermittent, and before they knew it, they fell asleep on the small table, and the maid saw that their brothers and sisters were interested, so she simply did not bother each other, but took a blanket and draped it for them.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a noise. Guo Yan was uneasy, and immediately woke up, and hurriedly woke up Nianyun: "Wake up quickly, I'm afraid that the third uncle is not good!" ”

Nianyun's sleepy eyes were relaxed, and when he heard him say this, a stirring spirit woke up completely, jumped out of the house, and walked out of the door.

She didn't ask Guo why she was so sensitive, because she had the same feeling, and she had a premonition that something was about to happen.

Guo Yan led her through the back door to Guo's mansion, and sure enough, she saw many people guarding outside the third uncle's house. Nian Yun didn't dare to trespass, so he had to stand outside the door with Guo Yan. Suddenly, I heard someone inside, "Go and call the county lady!" ”

Nian Yun hurriedly walked out of the shadows under the eaves: "I'm here, and the third uncle wants to see me?" ”

A maid walked out quickly and took her in.

Guo Xi was lying on the bed, seemingly trying hard to keep his eyes open, exuding a strange light. There were several uncles around the house, and Princess Shengping and Guo Yu were also there, all of whom were close relatives.

Nian Yun walked to his couch and knelt down, and said softly, "Third uncle, Nian Yun is here." ”

He stretched out his thin hand, "Nian Yun ......"

Nian Yun took his hand. This is the hand that once shook hands with Tao Zhuo more than 30 years ago, and it is the person that Tao Zhuo has never forgotten in his heart for more than ten years.

She seemed to get a glimpse of his youthful demeanor from the thousands of ravines carved by the years on his face. His life was passing away, and he was almost running out of oil.

He jumped out of Tao Zhuo's narrative, and in an instant, he spanned decades of time and space, and the vicissitudes of life were full of devastation.

He struggled to open his mouth, and Nianyun leaned his ear over.

"Nianyun, child, the Guo family is sorry for you......"

Nianyun was slightly stunned and comforted him: "Third uncle, Nianyun is very good." ”

Guo Xi nodded: "Live well, as long as you live, there is hope...... Don't let Zhuoer down......"

"Nianyun remembered."

Guo Xi exhaled tiredly and closed his eyes slightly. Nian Yun suddenly remembered something, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Tao Zhuo has been remembering you for thirty years, and she has always lived on the good memories you gave her. ”

Guo Xi seemed to nod slightly, with a baby-like smile on his face, very satisfied. Nianyun stood up, only to see that his hand was slipping weakly.

Several uncles rushed up and shouted loudly, and Nian Yun was squeezed out. The doctor came over and felt his pulse and breathing for a long time, and finally walked to the middle of the room and kowtowed three times, "Guogong Immortal has gone!" ”

Nian Yun watched blankly as many subordinates poured in, holding towels and hot water, etc., as if they were going to bathe and change clothes for him. Then she was pushed out of the room and stood helplessly under the eaves. One drop of water fell coolly on the face, another drop.

She suddenly realized that it was raining, and she remembered that Aunt Wei had said that when Aunt Wei first entered the Guo Mansion, it was also such a rainy day. She reached out and touched her face, but her hands were wet.

She looked down at her clothes, they were still dry, the rain had just begun to fall, it was just a small raindrop, and the tears on her face were clearly her own.

However, she couldn't tell whether it was her or Wei Taozhuo who was crying. Aunt Wei's whole life was tied to him, and when he was alive, she cared about him, and she missed him.

Now that he is dead, everything for her will be in vain, and her feelings will be like duckweed with nowhere to go.

Someone came up to wipe away her tears and hugged her.

She knew it was Guo Yan. She suddenly felt weak in her hands and feet, as if she was coquettish, "Third brother, you can carry me......"

Guo Yan turned around, leaned over, arched his back, carried her, and walked steadily, step by step, towards Shengping Mansion.

There are still too many things to be busy in Guo Mansion tonight, and it will be officially mourned during the day tomorrow, and these juniors can go back to rest for a while, because at night, they will have to wear filial piety to keep vigil.

Nian Yun lay on his back, swaying, and suddenly muttered, "Third brother, you said that you have been thinking about a person for more than 30 years, what does it feel like?" ”

"I don't know, and I hope you don't know for the rest of your life."

When Guo Yan spoke, she could feel the vibration of his chest, and she felt relieved.

"Third brother, if only I really Nianyun, I would have always grown up with you......"
