Gu Shanchang, who was careful and keen, gradually noticed something unusual.

After A Luo was born, Xie Mingxi loved her daughter very much, and Sheng Hong loved her daughter even more. When they were in Shudi, the husband and wife were very fond of Ah Luo, and they were obedient.

After A Luo returned to Beijing, Xie Mingxi's requirements for A Luo suddenly increased. The teaching is meticulous and strict, and in order to urge Ah Luo to forge ahead, even the method of agitation is used.

And Sheng Hong seems to be protecting A Luo at a critical juncture, but in fact, he has never denied any of Xie Mingxi's practices.

The husband and wife have a tacit understanding on Aluo's teachings.

As the most noble princess of Daqi, Ah Luo does nothing, and she is indispensable for a lifetime of honor and wealth. The better schoolwork is, of course, the icing on the cake. The studies are mediocre, but in fact, there is no big deal.

Why do the husband and wife have such high requirements for Arlo?

What the hell are they thinking?

Xie Mingxi calmly responded to Gu Shanchang's inquiries and doubts: "A Luo is smart by nature, and the emperor and I both hope that she will study hard, so as to live up to the talent given to her by God." ”

As a father, I want my daughter to be better and better, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But his intuition told Gu Shanchang that Xie Mingxi must have hidden something important and didn't tell her.

Gu Shanchang subconsciously asked, "Is it really just like this?" Are you hiding something from me? ”

Xie Mingxi responded calmly: "How can I hide something from Master." ”

Without waiting for Gu Shanchang to continue asking, Xie Mingxi opened the topic: "Master has lived in the palace for a few months, and he has never been to Fulin Palace. When is Master going to go? ”

At the mention of Empress Dowager Yu, Gu Shanchang's attention really diverted, and all kinds of complex emotions of hatred and remorse flashed in his eyes.

After entering the palace for a few months, Gu Shanchang had never been to Fulin Palace, nor had he ever visited Empress Dowager Yu.

Empress Dowager Yu has been recuperating in the Fulin Palace, except for the night when the Empress Dowager Li died, she never stepped out of the dormitory at any other time.

The two lived in the same palace and had not seen each other for months.

Such a situation cannot escape the eyes of those who have a heart. This pair of close friends, who were known to everyone and envied by everyone in the past, have broken up for Xie Mingxi's sake.

If Gu Shanchang didn't want to see Empress Dowager Yu, no one could force her.

Xie Mingxi only asked casually.

Gu Shanchang took a deep breath, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "It's better to choose a date than to choose a date, let's go today!" ”

There should also be a break between her and Empress Dowager Yu.

Xie Mingxi glanced at Gu Shanchang deeply: "I'll go with the master!" ”

Gu Shanchang subconsciously shook his head, and quickly nodded again: "It's okay." ”

……

Fulin Palace.

Since the death of Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Yu's mood has improved a lot. My daily appetite has also improved, and I can occasionally drink a bowl of porridge. It's a pity that the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread.

The illness that Empress Dowager Yu hoped for did not appear, but only showed a slight improvement.

"Zhilan, Yuqiao, help the mourning family stay and walk around for a while." Empress Dowager Yu opened her mouth to summon the two of them, and got up and stayed with the support of Zhilan Yuqiao. The moment his feet landed on the ground, he was still floating and powerless.

Empress Dowager Yu had to grab Zhilan Yuqiao's hand and stabilize her body with the help of the two of them.

Empress Dowager Yu felt a burst of anger in her heart.

She drinks medicine every day, why doesn't it get better?

Empress Dowager Yu barely walked around, sweating profusely on her forehead. Sitting back on the edge of the bed, he ordered someone to summon the envoy of the Zhao Academy, and asked sharply: "The envoy of the Zhao Academy, the prescription of the mourning family has been changed twice, why has it not improved?" ”

The envoy of Zhao Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, responded tremblingly: "Weichen is incompetent. Please calm the anger of the Queen Mother. ”

The Taiping prescription that does not hurt or itch, of course, cannot cure the disease.

Even the palace maids who were waiting beside Empress Dowager Yu guessed a few points.

Empress Dowager Yu, who was stubborn and self-serving, did not expect that the envoy of the Zhao Yuan had secretly betrayed herself, and the prescription prescribed could not cure the disease, so she lay on the bed day after day to raise her.

Empress Dowager Yu angrily scolded the envoy of Zhao: "Bastard! Impotent! Even the sickness of the mourning family cannot be cured! The mourning family will give you another month, if it doesn't get better, the mourning family will definitely let someone cut off your head! ”

The envoy of the Zhao Yuan repeatedly kowtowed and said to forgive: "The Empress Dowager is angry, and Weichen must do his best to cure the Empress Dowager's illness as soon as possible." ”

But he muttered secretly in his heart.

Cure Empress Dowager Yu's illness, where can his head be saved.

At this moment, a palace maid walked in and reported: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and Gu Shanchang have come to meet you." ”

Empress Dowager Yu: "......"

All of Empress Dowager Yu's expressions condensed in an instant, and her expression stiffened.

Zhilan Yuqiao glanced at each other, and they all hung their heads and were silent.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Yu opened her mouth again: "Let them in." ”

……

What is due will come.

I haven't seen you for a few months, and you can't hide for a lifetime.

Empress Dowager Yu ordered someone to help herself sit on the chair, so that she could also be a little more dignified and majestic. However, this move did not calm her complicated and conflicted feelings.

The sound of footsteps gradually became heard.

Empress Dowager Yu only felt that her throat was tight, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and cold sweat broke out on the back of her palm for no reason.

Until a familiar figure comes into view.

It's all too familiar.

The Yu family's Gu family lives next door, she and Gu Shanchang were born in the same year, and they have known each other since the day they began to babble. They were best friends from their youth, like-minded, and walked side by side for the same goal.

Even if their respective paths diverge, Gu Shanchang is still the most important person in her mind.

Gu Shanchang's face, as if engraved in her heart, was too familiar.

The blood of Empress Dowager Yu's whole body was bubbling, and there was a strong sourness in her nose, and she blurted out a "Xianzhi". In response to her, it was Gu Shanchang's complicated and hateful gaze.

These two gazes were like two sharp arrows piercing the chest of the Empress Dowager Yu.

Empress Dowager Yu's breath was suffocated.

Xie Mingxi's gaze swept over Empress Dowager Yu's face that couldn't hide her pain, and she sneered in her heart.

It was Empress Dowager Yu who was ruthless and cut off the old friendship. What other face did she have on her face now?

"The daughter-in-law has seen the queen mother." Xie Mingxi bowed, and his voice broke the silence and stagnation in the room: "The queen mother has been recuperating, and the master can't bear to be disturbed. Hearing that the Queen Mother's condition has improved today, Master was relieved and came to visit the Queen Mother today. ”

Gu Shanchang's figure was slightly thin, and his face was the same as when he left Beijing four years ago. The black hair on his head was pulled up, and only a silver hairpin was pulled.

The years really treated Gu Shanchang well, and only gave her elegance and maturity.

Empress Dowager Yu is gray-haired, wrinkled, and sick. Compared with Gu Shanchang, there is a difference of thousands of miles.

Whoever watched it couldn't believe that the two were the same age.

Gu Shanchang also bowed, but did not say a word.

She was afraid that she couldn't help it, and she would scold her angrily!
