Chapter 32: When the Feud Continues
In the Queen Mother's Bedroomββ
"Come, child, don't be restrained here." The Queen Mother looked at Gu Juexi lovingly.
Gu Juexi casually found a seat and sat down, hugged the fruit plate and ate it.
"Aren't you curious, why the mourning family is so good to you?" The Queen Mother smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
"I'm not curious, I'm just curious when you'll let me go." Gu Juexi did not shy away from saying what he thought in his heart. I don't know why, she always feels that no matter how out of line she is in front of the Queen Mother, it won't be in the way.
"You...... You and your mother are really not like each other at all, except for their appearance. The Queen Mother was choked for a moment, and then said kindly.
Gu Juexi shrugged, indicating that he heard it.
"That's it, you kid...... The mourners called you here for one thing. When the Queen Mother saw Gu Juexi's attitude, she knew that it was almost futile for her to do it again, "Gu Juexi, the mourning family wants to ask you for something." β
"Huh?" For the first time, Gu Juexi felt as if he couldn't keep up with other people's thinking......
"Please, help the mourning family take care of Ye Ling." The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were full of tears.
Gu Juexi looked at the Queen Mother with some doubts, and said unhappily: "How did the Queen Mother know about Ye Ling's existence?" β
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, and tears slid down the corners of her eyes, "It's that I can't stand him, he should be a prince...... However, back then, I drove his mother out of the imperial city. β
Gu Juexi secretly said in his heart: It's this kind of drama again, is it necessary for an ancient woman to kill her sons and grandsons? I won't be reluctant to do so.
She swallowed a grape, "There's no need for the Queen Mother to worry, since I saved Ye Ling, I won't treat him badly." As long as he doesn't betray me. If he betrayed me, the consequences would be unimaginable to him. β
"Thank you for that." The Queen Mother reclined in her chair, as if she had aged ten years in an instant.
"In that case, Queen Mother, I'll go first." Gu Juexi walked out in the sunshine......
When the Queen Mother opened her eyes, what she saw was the scene of Gu Juexi walking out of the palace gate, although her body was thin but enough to bear everything, and the little person was walking towards the light...... Everything gave her an illusion, "Xi'er, are you coming back to see the mourning family...... She's really like you, in some places......"
Walking out of the Queen Mother's bedroom, Gu Juexi felt a lot more relaxed. Suddenly, the alertness of her whole body was mobilized, "What someone! β
"Gu Juexi." The man's face was gloomy, one step, two steps...... He took a step forward, and Gu Juexi took a step back, as if accommodating Gu Juexi's small steps, the man unconsciously slowed down his pace and forced Gu Juexi into a corner.
