In front of Sheng Hong, Gu Shanchang didn't ask much.

After Sheng Hong went out with Ah Luo in his arms, Gu Shanchang asked in a low voice, "What is the situation of Concubine Mei?" ”

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Her illness is menacing, and it is by no means unusual. Someone must have done something in secret. I prescribed medicine for her, but she wouldn't take it. Now I can't get out of bed at all, and I have to raise it for a year and a half. ”

A trace of anger flashed in Gu Shanchang's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Who is secretly doing it?" ”

Xie Mingxi glanced at Gu Shanchang silently.

Gu Shanchang suddenly understood, and his heart was even more annoyed: "Since the Queen Mother is willing to let you go to the domain, and allows me to go with you, why do you want to leave Concubine Mei?" ”

That's right, the person who did it must be Empress Dowager Yu.

If Emperor Jian'an made a move, Concubine Mei would have died.

Xie Mingxi had never explicitly said that it was the Empress Dowager Yu before, because he didn't want Sheng Hong to be resentful, and showed traces in front of the deep and shrewd Empress Dowager Yu.

"The queen mother allows Master to accompany us, so we have to leave the mother concubine and contain Sheng Hong." Xie Mingxi said lightly: "This kind of method, to put it bluntly, is not unusual. ”

"The queen mother will never allow any vassal king to have different intentions, and she must leave a proton in her hand."

"Compared to King Lu, we are very lucky. At the very least, we can leave the capital. And they, even themselves, can't get out. ”

People are selfish.

It is not shy to say that Xie Mingxi would rather be left behind by Concubine Mei than Gu Shanchang.

And Gu Shanchang is also the only person who can make Empress Dowager Yu back down.

Gu Shanchang's mood was not much lighter because of this, his heart was heavy, and his mouth was full of bitterness. After being silent for a long time, Gu Shan Changcai said: "I will enter the palace tomorrow and say goodbye to the Queen Mother." ”

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "In front of the queen mother, the master must not mention the three words of Concubine Mei. ”

Gu Shanchang pursed the corners of his mouth and did not say a word.

Xie Mingxi insisted very much: "Master, you promise me not to intercede for Concubine Mei in front of the queen mother!" ”

Gu Shanchang twisted his head to the side. Like a stubborn child.

No matter how wise and intelligent Xie Mingxi is, no matter how scheming he is, he can't do anything about Gu Shanchang. He sighed with a wry smile: "Master won't fail to understand the truth in this." ”

"No matter how deep the friendship is, I can't help but be alienated, indifferent and suspicious again and again."

"The queen mother is now the empress dowager of Great Qi, with monstrous authority, and the emperor and queen all bow down to obey orders. The only person who can soften the queen mother's heart is the master. This time, Sheng Hong was able to successfully enter the domain, most of which was because of the master. ”

Because of this, Master could no longer open his mouth. Otherwise, it will cause the queen mother to be angry and unhappy, even if it does not have a seizure now, it will be a trouble in the future. ”

"It's better to take it slowly, and find an opportunity to take Concubine Mei out of the palace in the future."

Gu Shanchang exhaled the turbidity in his chest and nodded sullenly.

……

The next day, Gu Shanchang entered the palace and bid farewell to Empress Dowager Yu.

Looking at the Empress Dowager Yu, whose hair was mottled with silver threads and wrinkles on her forehead, Gu Shanchang was both embarrassed and sad, and for a while, he forgot most of the dissatisfaction gathered in his heart. He opened his mouth and said, "How did Zhilan Yuqiao serve?" Why does the mother look so old? ”

Empress Dowager Yu chuckled when she heard this: "Xianzhi, I am already old. ”

In just two sentences, it seems to break the knot and estrangement of several years.

The two seem to have returned to the old days when they had nothing to talk about.

"You're just too heavy-minded." Gu Shanchang couldn't help but scold: "A person's life is only a few decades. It's good to live happily and freely, everything is on yourself, and it's strange not to be tired. ”

Oh, yes! Her rapid aging is half due to the death of Emperor Jianwen, and the other half is tired.

It's just that the only thing she can hold tightly in the palm of her hand is these two words.

How can she let go?

Empress Dowager Yu was almost indulgent to Gu Shanchang, and when she heard such rebellious words, she was not angry, but only smiled: "Xianzhi, you have no desire for most of your life, so you have no desires, so you can live calmly and casually." It's a pity that I'm not as good as you. ”

I want too much.

I've lost so much.

So, what I can hold on to can only belong to me. I'm not going to let go!

Gu Shanchang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "That's it!" I'm almost gone, so I won't talk about you. lest when you think of me as a friend in the future, you will only be bored and not worried. ”

Empress Dowager Yu couldn't help laughing: "When did I get tired of you?" It's clear that you don't want to enter the palace, and in the past few years, the number of times you have come to the palace to see me has not been a few times. ”

Gu Shanchang snorted lightly and muttered, "I just can't see your mouth wrong, and I don't like to see you laugh forged." ”

Empress Dowager Yu's eyes were slightly hot.

In this world, there is only one Gu Xianzhi who cares so much about her joy. will "hate iron but not steel" and blame her for being angry with her. And now, her only friend is leaving her.

The vassal king was not allowed to return to Beijing without Zhao. Sheng Hong's walk is several years.

Perhaps, in their lifetimes, they will never see each other again......

"Xianzhi, how precious you are." Empress Dowager Yu's voice was a little hoarse, and her expression was quite calm and calm: "After saying goodbye today, I don't know when the time will be to meet again." I hope you are healthy and safe, and you will live a long life. ”

Gu Shanchang is a man of temperament, he is not as forbearant and restrained as Empress Dowager Yu, he laughs when he wants to laugh, and cries when he is sad. At this time, he said with red eyes: "Lianniang, you have to take care of yourself." In a few years, I will come back to Beijing to see you. ”

This sound of Lianniang made Empress Dowager Yu's heartstrings tremble and sour.

After Gu Shanchang left, no one would call her by her maiden name like this.

In the blur of tears, Gu Shanchang stepped forward and hugged the Empress Dowager Yu hard. Empress Dowager Yu finally couldn't restrain herself, and hugged Gu Shan and cried again.

"Xianzhi, it's that I can't stand you. If I hadn't insisted on going to Songzhu Academy in disguise as a man, I wouldn't have killed my brother. You won't be alone and never marry for the rest of your life......"

"It's all a handful of years old, and they still talk about what they do. Lianchi has been dead for so many years, but in my heart, he has never left and has always been with me. I have friends, I have students, and I have never been lonely. Now, I have a disciple who supports me for the rest of my life, and I am busy taking care of Ah Luo, where do I have the leisure to sigh about the old things. ”

“…… Don't show off your disciples, okay? ”

"Of course not! If I'm not in front of you, who am I going to show off? ”

“…… Okay, okay, if you want to say it, just say it, can't I listen? If there is any inconvenience in Shu in the future, let people send a letter into the palace. With me here, no one dares to treat you slowly. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Mingxi treated me very well, and Sheng Hong was also very good to me. Don't think about finding trouble with them anymore. ”
