Early the next morning.

Xie Mingxi was refreshed, in an excellent mood, and even his appetite was much better than usual. After eating two bowls, I put down my chopsticks.

Gu Shanchang saw it in his eyes and showed a knowing smile: "I heard that the county lord of Yongning was imprisoned in the Cixin Nunnery yesterday. ”

"I didn't expect that Master is so well-informed." Xie Mingxi said casually: "I originally planned to tell Master the good news today. It turns out that Master knew about it last night. ”

Gu Shanchang snorted: "The queen mother sent someone to send me a message." ”

Empress Yu and Gu Shan have known each other for many years, and they have a deep friendship with each other, even if they are sisters. Empress Yu's protection of Gu Shanchang, Xie Mingxi also saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It is enough to have a confidant in life.

Gu Shanchang seemed to see what Xie Mingxi was thinking, and said with a faint smile: "I am the same age as the queen's mother, and the Gu family's Yu family is a good family." The two of us have been very good since we were young. It's been more than 40 years. ”

"Mingxi, I also look forward to you having such a close friend."

"Life in the world, family and friendship, all depend on fate. It's the same with weak kinship and deep friendship. ”

Speaking of which, Gu Shanchang is a person with a weak kinship. Since leaving the Gu family, he has never stepped on the threshold of the Gu family for half a step.

In comparison, Xie Mingxi is stronger. Her mother, brothers, sisters, and mothers are like enemies, and there is finally a greedy and vain father standing behind her.

Xie Mingxi knew that Gu Shanchang had good intentions, and responded with a smile.

……

Gu Shanchang suddenly smiled again: "The Seventh Prince treats you with deep affection. When you marry him in the future, he will take care of you for the rest of your life. What I just said is pure care. ”

When it comes to her fiancé, Xiao Yuhan will blush shyly, Li Xiang will be sweet joy that she can't hide, and Yin Xiaoxiao will roll her eyes and not allow anyone to say more.

And Xie Mingxi, unlike the three of them, was as calm as saying, "The weather is really good today": "I don't dare to agree with what Master said. ”

"I never wanted someone to protect me for the rest of my life. I will not put the happiness and tranquility of life on Sheng Hong's deep affection and conscience. ”

"No matter when and where, I will cherish myself first."

Sheng Hong loves me, it must be because I deserve his affectionate treatment.

Even if no one in the world loves me, I will take good care of myself.

Even if Sheng Hong loses his heart to me one day, my world will not collapse because of this.

Gu Shanchang heard Xie Mingxi's unfinished words, was dumbfounded for a moment, and then sighed lightly: "You are right, it is the master who is too narrow-minded. ”

"Even if I never marry in my life, I still feel that marrying a good son-in-law will give me something to rely on for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, Gu Shanchang had a hint of self-deprecation in his eyes: "At this point, I am inferior to you." ”

Of course.

Gu Shanchang is more than forty years old, and he has never married in his life, nor has he ever seen through the word love. And she has gone through vicissitudes, and her heart has long been as tough as a rock.

Sheng Hong treats her well, she is naturally moved and will cherish it. But there is still a distance from being unswervingly devoted to each other.

Perhaps, it is impossible for her to love someone wholeheartedly in this life! Doing everything for him, losing himself for him, fighting for him, dying or living for him...... It seems impossible!

Xie Mingxi didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, I'll go to the school now." At noon, I will come back to have lunch with the master. ”

Gu Shanchang cleaned up the sighs in his heart and nodded with a smile.

……

Xie Mingxi arrived outside the school hall without hurrying.

Xiang Hui, who was guarding outside the school, stepped forward with a smile and bowed, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and several royal palaces and concubines in the palace have to take turns to serve the sick. ”

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, it is inconvenient to come to the Lotus Pond Academy to practice martial arts during this time."

"Your Highness instructed the slave maid to tell Miss about this, please don't worry about it."

Empress Dowager Li was hit hard by this, and she had to get sick.

Xie Mingxi had expected it, and he was not surprised, so he nodded slightly.

Xiang Hui glanced up at Xie Mingxi, her gaze was a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Xie Mingxi smiled casually and asked, "Is there anything wrong with my face?" ”

Xiang Hui coughed and said softly: "The Queen Mother's illness, I don't know how much time it will take." His Royal Highness thought that he would not see him for many days, and the young lady would be reluctant to give up. specially told the slave maid to comfort the young lady for a good life. ”

As a result, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is simply self-inflicted!

Xie Mingxi didn't even have a word of reluctance. The words of reassurance she had prepared did not come in handy.

Xie Mingxi: "......"

Xie Mingxi was dumbfounded for a moment, and said in a sincere tone: "You tell him that he is good at serving in Cining Palace, and he must not make mistakes." Otherwise, you don't have to come to see me again. ”

Xiang Hui: "......"

Seeing that Xiang Hui was choked and speechless, Xie Mingxi burst out laughing.

Xiang Hui smiled helplessly: "Okay, the slave will definitely pass on what the young lady said to His Royal Highness." ”

Xie Mingxi added leisurely: "Don't forget to remind him, the annual exam is coming, and he will definitely take the first grade." ”

Xiang Hui silently plucked a tear of sympathy for her master.

……

The news of Empress Dowager Li's serious illness quickly spread in the capital.

The news that the county lord of Yongning was locked up like a mercy nunnery also spread.

The ladies who had originally spread rumors in private were uneasy in their hearts, and no one dared to speak again. The lord of the county was all put into the mercy nunnery, and the queen mother was seriously ill because of this, and the emperor was not so angry.

At this time, chewing your tongue again is killing yourself.

Speaking of which, there are really bold long-tongued women.

Luo, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old mansion of Fangge, mentioned the illness of Empress Dowager Li for some reason when she was a guest in the old mansion: "...... The Queen Mother has a good body, why did she suddenly get sick? Isn't it overthinking that worrying has become a disease! ”

There weren't too many ladies present, only about four or five.

No one answered the conversation, and the topic was quickly diverted.

After the next day's court meeting, Emperor Jianwen summoned the old Fang Pavilion to discuss the matter, and came with two sentences lightly and seriously: "The old Fang Pavilion is busy with the affairs of the court, negligent in the inner house, and there are people in the house who are inappropriate in their words and deeds, why don't you see the old Fang Pavilion in charge?" ”

Elder Fang Ge broke out in a cold sweat, and after confessing his guilt, he went back to Fang Mansion to inquire carefully. Then I found out what my daughter-in-law Luo said outside. Fang Ge was so angry that his face was full of iron, and he called his eldest son to scold him angrily.

On that day, the talkative Roche was "seriously ill" and could not recuperate in the yard.

The power of the housekeeper in the Fang Mansion completely fell into the hands of the second room.

As soon as this incident came out, no one dared to mention the cause of Empress Dowager Li's illness.

Even the Yongning County Lord's habit of grinding mirrors was no longer mentioned. The rumors that spread all the way around have been silent.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the county lord of Yongning. The county lord of Yongning, who was imprisoned in the mercy nunnery, also quickly disappeared from everyone's mouth.
