Empress Dowager Yu seemed to have been hit by an arrow in the chest, and before she could unfold her smile, it condensed at the corner of her lips.

Xianzhi really hated her to the bone.

Even her portrait was burned......

Ah Luo sighed in surprise: "Imperial grandmother, why is your face so ugly?" Did Ah Luo say something wrong? ”

Without waiting for Empress Dowager Yu to speak, Xie Mingxi had already answered with a smile: "What Ah Luo said is the truth, and the imperial grandmother will not be angry." ”

The bloody chest was stabbed deep again.

Empress Dowager Yu exhaled a deep breath of turbidity vigorously, maintaining the last decency and dignity: "The imperial grandmother is not angry. Ah Luo, come over and let the Imperial Grandmother take a closer look at you. ”

Xiao Yuhan's heartstrings trembled, and he quickly looked at Xie Mingxi.

Empress Dowager Yu is a grandmother, and it is natural for Ah Luo to "serve the disease". If you hold Ah Luo, you can hold the lifeblood of the emperor......

Xie Mingxi had already taken precautions and was confident, and led A Luo forward with a smile.

Empress Dowager Yu really "liked" A Luo very much, and asked in detail about A Luo's journey into Beijing and interesting things on the way. Then he smiled: "Ah Luo is young, but she has sharp teeth. The mourning family likes it quite much. In the future, let Ah Luo come to the Fulin Palace every day to talk to the mourning family to relieve boredom. ”

Scold!

Xie Mingxi sneered in his heart, and his face showed a little apology: "Yesterday, the emperor's grandmother said that after Ah Luo returned to the palace, she would go to Cining Palace every day to serve her illness. I've already answered. I'm really sorry for the queen mother. ”

The banner of the Empress Dowager Li is quite useful. Brought it out once, and pressed the Empress Dowager Yu once.

Empress Dowager Yu resisted the urge to snort coldly, and said lightly: "It is also a good thing for Ah Luo to do your filial piety on your behalf." ”

After that, there was no mention of the sickness.

……

After staying in the Fulin Palace for about a stick of incense, Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong led A Luo to retire.

Xiao Yuhan sent the three of them out of the palace, and smiled at Xie Mingxi in a low voice: "The mountain chief and A Luo have returned to Beijing from afar, and they must be very tired. Let them rest for a few days. After a few days, I will set up a banquet for the mountain chief to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”

Xie Mingxi responded with a smile.

Xiao Yuhan said softly again: "I am serving the queen mother in the Fulin Palace, you just have to go back with confidence." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xiao Yuhan, who is gentle, careful and intelligent, is Xie Mingxi's biggest help and most determined ally in the palace.

Hot meals were already prepared in the imperial dining room.

After a toss, it was already past noon.

Ah Luo smelled the overflowing aroma, her little stomach was growling with hunger, and she urged impatiently: "Dad, mother, I'm hungry." I want to eat right now. ”

Sheng Hong was distressed, and immediately hugged Ah Luo to the table and personally served Ah Luo for dinner.

Xie Mingxi smiled and said, "Ah Luo is five years old, and he can eat by himself." Don't spoil her. ”

Sheng Hong retorted eloquently: "Don't say five years old, even fifteen and twenty-five years old, and she is also my daughter." I'm happy to get used to it. ”

Ah Luo listened beautifully, pursed her oily little mouth, and kissed Sheng Hong's face: "Dad is so good to me." Sheng Hongle was upset, and his mouth was almost in his ears.

Xie Mingxi: "......"

Xie Mingxi was both funny and helpless. After more than a year of separation, the husband and wife are full of guilt for their daughter. Not to mention Sheng Hong, even she couldn't bear to refuse any of Ah Luo's requests when she was reunited.

After a while, Gu Shanchang, who had been bathing and changing, also came.

Xie Mingxi never mentioned Empress Dowager Yu, and Gu Shanchang didn't ask a word. and Sheng Hong competed to feed Ah Luo.

Sheng Hong was not happy, but he couldn't grab Gu Shanchang, and watched Xiao Aluo, who was tired of being by his side, gradually move to Gu Shanchang's side.

"Mountain Chief," Sheng Hong couldn't help but protest, "I haven't seen Ah Luo for more than a year. Today, let me feed Ah Luo! ”

Gu Shanchang concentrated on feeding Ah Luo, and replied without raising his head: "Where do you know Ah Luo's taste, most of the dishes just now, Ah Luo doesn't like to eat." I'll feed it! ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

It used to be like this. Every time, he couldn't snatch Gu Shanchang.

Looking at Sheng Hong, who had a grieving face, Xie Mingxi couldn't help but chuckle. She knew that she couldn't grab the master, so she didn't fight at all.

Xie Mingxi picked up some vegetables and put them in Gu Shanchang's bowl: "Master, don't just care about feeding Ah Luo, you can eat too." ”

Gu Shanchang smiled and snorted.

The cruelest thing in the world is parting, and the happiest thing is reunion.

For the happiness and beauty of this moment, it is worth everything.

……

After lunch, Arlo yawned. Sheng Hong immediately rushed to hug him, patted Ah Luo on the back, and coaxed Ah Luo to sleep. Gu Shanchang didn't compete with Sheng Hong this time.

After running on the road for nearly two months, no matter how hard my body is, I feel tired.

Xie Mingxi accompanied Gu Shanchang back to the bedroom.

The master and apprentice finally had the opportunity to be alone.

A thousand words, I don't know where to start.

Gu Shanchang was silent for a moment before he asked in a low voice, "Mingxi, tell me honestly." On that day, what conditions did you have to make Empress Dowager Yu nod and let me go? ”

Xie Mingxi had expected that Gu Shanchang would have such a question, and replied without changing his face: "I promised her that no matter when it comes, I will not kill the Yu family." ”

It's as simple as that?

Gu Shanchang was not so easy to fool, and frowned: "Mingxi, you must have something to hide from me." ”

Xie Mingxi's eyes looked back calmly: "No." ”

Gu Shanchang: "......"

There must be.

But Xie Mingxi insisted on not saying it, and Gu Shanchang couldn't pry her mouth open. He stared at her for a moment with his eyes open, and quickly turned into a sigh: "That's it, if you don't want to say it, I can't do it." ”

"Mingxi, I always thought I could protect you from being safe. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Yu was ruthless, regardless of the old friendship, and did this to me. ”

"Not only did I fail to protect you, but I became a drag on you......"

Speaking of this, Gu Shanchang's voice was a little choked, and his eyes flashed with water.

Xie Mingxi couldn't see Gu Shanchang blaming himself like this, so he held Gu Shanchang's slightly cool hand, and his voice was low and firm: "No, Master has never been a drag on me. Without Master's careful teaching and protection, I would not be where I am today. ”

"Master doesn't have to be sad for Empress Dowager Yu's desperation. I have been angry with Master. ”

"I'm not going to take her life. I want her to live for a long time, let her soberly watch herself be suppressed and unable to move, let her live in helpless anger and despair. Day after day, year after year. ”

It's a hundred dead.

It is to be alive that is the greatest pain and suffering.

At this time, Xie Mingxi took off all his masks, and finally revealed his true cruelty and coldness.

The taste of wearing a mask all the time is not wonderful.

Only in front of Gu Shanchang will Xie Mingxi take off all his defenses and reveal his truest face.

Gu Shanchang looked at Xie Mingxi like this, and did not feel strange and terrible, but smiled with satisfaction: "Master listens to you." ”
