15 secrets
He's really grown up.
Looking at the corners of the boy's sideburns and clothes that were constantly blown by the wind, Ding Guoguo found that the original reckless and willful child has now grown into a quiet and beautiful teenager.
Even the laughter is not as flamboyant as before.
Along the way, there were palace people kneeling and retreating, and they had already walked back to the fork in the road leading to the emperor's bedroom. Ding Guoguo was about to go straight forward, but was stopped by him.
"Guoguo."
She turned to look at him one step behind.
"If there's anything I can do to help, be sure to let me know."
Ding Guoguo shook his head, smiled at him, turned around and was about to leave, but he stopped her again.
"Guoguo, are we still friends?"
"Of course."
She smiled brightly at him, and walked away without stopping.
If she had met Zoya before she had met him, she would probably not hesitate to ask him to help her. But now ...
She paused, turned her head to look at his distant back, and smiled bitterly.
Back in the emperor's bedroom, Nangong Li was no longer there, and the emperor was sitting in a chair drinking tea. Seeing her come in, he moved slightly, sat up straight and looked at her, and asked, "Have you seen Concubine Xue?" ”
Ding Guoguo lowered his head and responded, "Yes." ”
The Emperor closed his eyes, fiddled with a few tea bowls in one hand, and asked softly, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”
"Nope."
Ding Guoguo quietly raised his head and glanced at him.
He looked unusually tired, and didn't seem to have the strength to speak. Did Nangong Li say anything radical to him? Did he let her see Zhuoya because he couldn't move Nangong Li? She found that she couldn't guess his intentions at all, and in front of him, she was still too immature, and she never saw through him!
"Want to hear a story?" The Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, looked at her and smiled.
Ding Guoguo didn't make a sound, just nodded slightly.
"The story I told you last time wasn't the whole story." The Emperor chuckled and turned his eyes to the entrance of the hall, and continued, "I thought I would never mention this matter to anyone else. ”
"Actually, the encounter between me and Mengjiao was arranged early in the morning. At the beginning of her entry into the palace, she was already pregnant with a child. At this, the Emperor raised his eyes to look at her, whose eyes widened from shock, and he sneered, "Surprised, isn't it? I didn't expect that I would not only be willing to cuckold, but also raise other people's children like treasures. ”
Everything he said was too shocking, and Ding Guoguo couldn't relax for a while.
The emperor spoke again, "Actually, I know everything, but I deliberately pretend not to know because I love Mengjiao too much." Xu Yunzhi has been secretly manipulating Li'er all these years, I know. He stationed troops at the border and secretly cultivated his own power, and I also knew it. I kept pretending I didn't know, just to see when he would come to his senses. It's a pity that more than 20 years have passed, and he has not changed. Until the defeat, he was living his dream of being an emperor! ”
With a click, the emperor crushed the tea bowl at once, and blood and tea dripped down his fingers.
Ding Guoguo exclaimed, hurriedly took his hand away, and carefully examined the wound.
Fortunately, the wound is not too deep.
"Grandpa Li, Grandpa Li." She turned and shouted at the door.
"Your Majesty!"
When Gonggong Li came in and saw this scene, he exclaimed, and hurriedly called the palace maid who was waiting outside to bring water and medicine.
After a period of scramble, only Ding Guoguo and the emperor were left in the room.
"Does it hurt?"
Tie the gauze in a knot and gently put his hand on the high table that had been wiped clean, Ding Guoguo raised his eyes and looked at him, and asked distressedly.
This was the first time she had seen the emperor lose his temper so much.
"Pain? Hahaha... The Emperor burst out laughing. He smiled and said, "For so many years, apart from Mengjiao, you are the first to ask if it hurts!" ”
Looking at him like this, Ding Guoguo couldn't bear it even more. She wanted to say something, or do something, but she knew that a man like him didn't care about her comfort. She could only lower her head and not look at him now.
"No wonder Li'er loves you crazy." After the emperor had laughed enough, he reached out and gently touched her head, looked at her lovingly, and sighed, "But Guoguo, a person like you is not suitable to be a royal daughter-in-law." ”
Ding Guoguo still lowered his head and didn't squeak.
"I'm tired, go ahead." The Emperor withdrew his hand, stood up and walked into the inner chamber.
Ding Guoguo slowly stood up, lowered his head and walked towards the door.
Today, she knows so many secrets!
As she walked out of the main hall, she paused and turned her head to look inside the hall.
The inside of the hall, where the sun does not shine, looks deeply cloudy. She panicked for no reason, and just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible. She turned her head and ran as hard as she could, ignoring the palace slave who kept shouting behind her.
She didn't stop to catch her breath until she ran again.
Why did the emperor let her know that Zhuoya was pregnant, and why did he tell him these unspeakable secrets? What the hell was he trying to tell her? She couldn't figure it out! She couldn't figure it out!
Why do these people always have something to say that doesn't speak directly? Always like to go around the bend and let you guess? She's upset enough! Why let her know this?!
She doesn't understand! Don't understand!
"Doctor Ding, please get on the sedan chair."
The little palace slave who caught up called her timidly.
She straightened up and looked at the little palace slave.
"Doctor Ding...
It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call her Doctor Ding. Since meeting Nangong Li, everything has changed. Will she really be able to live her old life again? She doesn't know ...
She sighed and turned to get into the sedan chair.
"Why has it been so long?"
When she arrived at the gate of the palace, she had just stepped out of the sedan chair, and Nangong Li, who was waiting there, walked over.
His brow furrowed, his face impatient. He reached out and took her hand and led her out of the palace gate.
Ding Guoguo obediently let him lead her out of the palace gate and helped her into the carriage.
After the carriage drove up, Nangong Li leaned over to look at her face and asked cautiously, "Did my father tell you something?" ”
Ding Guoguo was distraught and in no mood to pay attention to him, so she turned her back to the car window and ignored him.
"I'll talk to you!" Nangong Li stretched out his hand to pull her, but as soon as his hand was on her shoulder, she snapped it open.
"Look at me!" He got angry and forced her to face him, and said angrily, "I've put up with you for days, don't you have to take an inch!" ”
Ding Guoguo snorted coldly, waved his hand away, turned his back again, and faced the car window.
"Ding Guoguo!" This time Nangong Li was really angry, he dragged her arm hard, forced her to face him, and roared, "My patience is limited, don't force me to be angry!" ”
Who the hell is forcing whom! Ever since she met him, her life has been messed up! She still wants to lose her temper, who is she going to!
Ding Guoguo was also on fire, she pounced on him, slapped him hard, and shouted at him, "Nangong Li! Are you going to drive me crazy to be satisfied! ”
