Xiao Yao was stunned, and before he could think about whether to say it or not, Gu Fanghua replied first: "Aunt Xie, it's okay, it's just that Xiao Yao wants to bring me to see you." ”

As soon as Gu Fanghua spoke, the three people present were stunned.

Xiao Yao's heart began to beat faster, Gu Fanghua meant to see his parents? Is that really what it means, or is it just a slip of the tongue?

Gu Fanghua was secretly annoyed, how could she say this? The blush couldn't control and climbed up his cheeks, but fortunately, the candle flame was not bright, and it was estimated that others couldn't see it clearly.

Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic, Xiao Yao is bringing the county lord of Mingzhu to show his heart? Looking at Gu Fanghua with shyness and timidity, her face was flushed, and she couldn't stop smiling.

"Good, good! Rest assured, of course I wish you well. ”

Xiao Yao looked at Gu Fanghua a little embarrassed, seeing that she lowered her head slightly, her eyes were lowered, and the corners of her lips were smiling, she was a little stunned for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

Gu Fanghua was even more ashamed, not only was her face flushed and hot, but it seemed to have spread to her neck and ears.

Xie Shi watched the two of them twist, afraid that Gu Fanghua would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Ah Yao, you go and stay outside, and I will say a few words to Mingzhu." ”

Xiao Yao hurriedly turned around and left in a hurry, quite a bit of a deserted escape, not as light as the usual clouds and winds.

Only Xie and Gu Fanghua were left in the house, as well as Hua Ying and Father-in-law Qian.

Father-in-law Qian looked at Xie Shi, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "Mrs. Hou, the slave is the palace servant, and he was ordered to protect the county lord and did not dare to leave without permission." ”

Xie Shi smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Father-in-law, hurry up, Hua Ying, you go outside to guard, there is a father-in-law here." ”

The jacaranda also retreated, and Father-in-law Qian retreated three feet away from the bed and turned around.

Only then did Xie Shi stretch out his hand to Gu Fanghua and motioned for her to come over. Gu Fanghua thought that Xie's life was short, so she stepped forward with shyness, held her cold hand, and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Mingzhu, the first time I saw you, I felt that I was destined for you."

Gu Fanghua couldn't help but raise her hand and brush her hair, and said a little shyly: "Aunt Xie, you misunderstood." ”

Xie Shi smiled brightly, and even his eyes, which had long lost their brilliance, shone again. In the face of such a Xie family, the rest of the words were choked in Gu Fanghua's mouth, and he couldn't say it after all.

"Mingzhu, you are a good boy. Ah Yao has a hard life, and he has no parents since he was a child. Although his grandmother loved him, she was more strict with him, so that he should be outstanding in all aspects and attract the attention of Hou Ye. ”

Xie Shi said with a smile, his voice choked: "I can't do it anymore, I can't accompany him for too long, and I will hand over Ah Yao to you in the future." ”

Gu Fanghua said in a low voice: "Aunt Xie, when it comes to parental relationship, I am more faint than Xiao Yao. He still has your concern, you have to take care of your body quickly so that you can accompany Xiao Yao more. ”

"You are all hard-working children, and I want to spend more time with him, but unfortunately my body can't hold on. If it weren't for the fact that he was coming back, that I would see him one last time, I probably wouldn't have survived now. ”

The more Xie Shi spoke, the lower his voice became, and Gu Fanghua hurriedly said: "This poor and remote area of Shenzhou, you take care of your body, and we will take you back to the capital." There are so many imperial doctors who can definitely cure your illness. ”

"Really? It's good if I can do that, what I'm most afraid of is that I won't be able to survive the New Year, and I will scare you when the time comes. ”

Xie had already looked down on life and death, but now she hopes that God can give her more time, so that she can watch Xiao Yao and Mingzhu get married.

Gu Fanghua felt that the hand in his hand, after holding it for so long, was still cold and biting, and he also knew that the Xie clan was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and the oil was exhausted, and he was a little sad for a while.

"Aunt Xie, I heard Xiao Yao say that you were fine more than two years ago, and this Yue family is too single-handed. Marquis Wei Yuan is a bastard, and Lord Fuling won't help you? ”

After these days of observation, Gu Fanghua can be sure that the Fuling County Lord has his own forces, and the Yue clan looks powerful, but in fact, he can't even get close to the Fuling County Lord's body.

Then why didn't she let Aunt Xie move to Kangning Courtyard, so that she could shelter her.

Xie Shi's expression darkened, and after a few breaths of silence, he said softly: "I can't control the heart of the Hou Ye, and I am still the culprit who caused Ah Yao to leave." The old lady was not in good health, and she had a grudge against me, and when she was angry, the Hou Ye had already sheltered me. ”

These few sentences contain a lot of information.

Gu Fanghua chewed twice in her heart, and only then did she fully understand, but she didn't know what to say.

Xie Shi took a break, and then said: "Mingzhu, Empress Dowager Zhong is unique to you. But the old lady has a different meaning to Xiao Yao, you have to watch Xiao Yao carefully, don't let him be bound by family affection in the future. You can't be foolish. ”

Although Gu Fanghua heard it in a fog, she still remembered it.

"Aunt Xie, don't talk too much, take a break. Don't worry, Uncle Emperor and Brother Rong Ling value Xiao Yao very much, and no one will be able to bully him. Besides, Xiao Yao is extremely smart, he knows very well what he should do and what he shouldn't do, and no one can control him. ”

Xie Shi leaned back a little tired, and Gu Fanghua said softly: "Aunt Xie, you take a rest, we will go back first, and come to see you another day." ”

"Okay, it's late at night, there's a dead wind lamp over there, you let them hold it, and it's good to illuminate it."

"Okay, come, I'll help you lie down."

Gu Fanghua helped Xie Shi lie down and straightened the quilt for her, and then got up to leave.

Xiao Yao left Lu Chang in Lanyuan, just in case, and planned to send Gu Fanghua back to Qingbo Courtyard first, and then go to Hou Ye to thoroughly investigate the reason why the Jurchen assassins appeared in the Hou Mansion.

The place where they had been attacked was now a torch, shining as the day.

Yan Lin was looking through the corpse of the assassin, and when he saw Xiao Yao coming over, he hurriedly said: "Fourth young master, these are all Jurchens, together with the assassins who committed the assassination during the day, a total of twenty-two people. ”

"Twenty-two? Your Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is made of paper? Infiltrated by so many assassins? ”

As soon as Gu Fanghua spoke, Yan Lin was also a little ashamed, and said: "Don't worry, the county lord will definitely investigate thoroughly one by one and give the county lord an explanation." ”

Xiao Yao asked Lu Fei: "When did they arrive?" ”

Lu Fei replied: "Probably after the young master left, a cup of tea or so, they happened to patrol here." ”

"Really? Yanlin? ”

Xiao Yao asked in a deep voice, and Yan Lin could only bow his head and salute: "Yes, Fourth Young Master." ”

"But I obviously heard from the Hou Ye that now there are three teams of guards in the Hou Mansion, patrolling in a cross style. Then why is it that we have such a big movement here, and for a quarter of an hour or so, you don't have a team to help? ”

Xiao Yao estimated in his heart that no matter what, it was impossible for none of the three teams patrolling to hear anything unusual.

Yan Lin hesitated and did not speak for a while.

Gu Fanghua sank his face and said angrily: "What? You are willing to say it in front of Weiyuan Hou? Tomorrow I will send a message back to Beijing, maybe it is not Xiao Yao who the Jurchen wants to assassinate, but the lord of this county! ”
