53. Academician Tao

"See the main mother~"

"The folk girl visits the mistress~"

When the hostess saw Situ Zhao, she was stunned for a moment: This girl's charm is a little like a Xuannu, and she also has a Xuanming physique, no wonder she can cure Concubine Li, Xuanming physique, she is really the one who can wake up Xuannu?

"How's your health?"

"Your mistress is already an old bone, and she can't die~"

Situ Zhao felt that this housewife was very kind, but she didn't expect that her optimistic attitude towards life was shown in these words, although her complexion seemed to be ruddy, and the overall appearance gave people a feeling of being energetic, but if you look carefully, you will find that the healthy and ruddy color on the surface has been modified with a little rouge gouache, the eye bags are slightly loose, there is still a trace of residual blood on the cuffs of the clothing, there should be symptoms of hemoptysis, walking slowly, legs and feet are not very good, obviously terminally ill, according to normal people, have long been bedridden, I didn't expect to be able to do this, it seems that I want to hide from some people~ Situ Zhao glanced at Zongheng Beiqi beside him, he was chatting happily with his mother, Situ Zhao already knew that this is probably the extremely precious family affection in the world, Situ Zhao's heart couldn't help but be full of envy, how much she wished she could have a family! Originally, in her life, Academician Tao gave her the feeling of family, but now, she didn't know the life and death of Academician Tao, and at the same time she secretly decided that she had to think of going back, she wanted to save Academician Tao, there was actually a conjecture in her heart, she felt that the group of people would not kill Academician Tao easily, to be precise, they were reluctant, because they still had to rely on Academician Tao to find all the research data on the "Soul Life Project", although Mu Linlin had stolen the research data of the "Soul Life Plan", However, that is only the tip of the iceberg of the entire research system, and the core content of the entire research project has not been obtained, and in the end, it cannot make much waves.

"You are the Miss Lin family who has to be Concubine Li?"

Yes, the folk girl is Lin Ruoxin.

Thank you for your help to Qi'er, An'er, bring me that jade ring!

Yes, Mistress.

Then An'er put an emerald green transparent, and there were blood-like red filaments in it that were irregularly suspended in the jade ring, this color and texture, at a glance, it was a rare treasure, no wonder the ancient cultural relics can cross the era, race, age and region and the value is not reduced.

"Miss Lin, thanks to you, Qi'er's mother is fine. This exquisite jade ring should be regarded as a thank you gift! ”

The blood in the jade ring can't be made of exquisite blood!

"You're welcome, this... I can't accept this~" Although Situ Zhao has an inexplicable liking for this ancient artifact, she is not a small wealth fan, because even if she is an orphan, she has never been a master who is short of money, on the contrary, she is still very rich, although she can't enter the top 100 ranks of the world's richest people, but the domestic ones can still be exempt from being strong and strong to enter the top 100, in addition, she feels that being able to see this rare antiquity with her own eyes is already full of shock and satisfaction, and she will not think about owning it or possessing it in the past. In addition, what diluted treasures are stored in this world, and it is still a question whether to bring them back or not.

And at this time, Situ Zhao felt that Zongheng Beiqi slightly withdrew her sleeves, and motioned her to accept it, so Situ Zhao did not refuse, they all accepted, the housewife talked to her slightly, all of them were some common words, for some reason, she felt that although the identity of the housemother was noble, there was no trace of shelf, but she was very easy-going, so that she had a feeling that she was facing her own grandmother, the housemother treated her very well, the housemother said that she liked Situ Zhao when she saw her, and she also gave Situ Zhao a lot of things, in addition to the things of Silk Luo Qiao satin clothing, There are also some rare fruits and snacks that taste excellent. Soon after, after the housewife and her finished walking around the garden, after knowing that Situ Zhao liked stick skills, she said that she wanted to give a gift to Situ Zhao, and then took Situ Zhao to her collection room, the collection room was very large, there were many shelves in it, some books and bamboo slips were placed on the shelves in the front row, and there were many large and small very exquisite boxes on the shelves in the back rows, which were probably filled with extremely precious objects. Situ Zhao was stunned, the master mother took a small box from the back shelf, showing some green wood patterns on it, like the skin texture of a century-old tree, the box was only the size of a palm, and when it was opened, there was a small round stick the size of a silver needle lying calmly on the brocade cloth inside, which looked very small.

"What is this?"

"The name of this stick is called the Magic Wand."

"Magic wand?"

"As the name suggests, the stick transforms the size and length like a magic trick, you try it~"

The mistress motioned for Situ Zhao to stretch out her right hand, opened her palm, and then the magic wand like a thin needle flew into Situ Zhao's hand.

"Hold it, put it in your heart, and then throw it out hard~"

Situ Zhao followed the words of the master's mother, held the magic wand tightly, and then slowly placed it at the mouth of her heart, her heart instantly fluttered, which made Situ Zhao very surprised, this magic wand seemed to have a subtle sense with the magnet in her body, and then she threw it down hard, and the magic wand instantly became larger, and the size was just right.

"You try to make it change size."

Situ Zhao was already surprised, and when he heard the master mother say that it could change size again, he showed an even more shocked expression: I didn't expect the illusion skills of this world to be so advanced!

Situ Zhao finally accepted all the treasures given to her by the hostess, when she left, the attendants brought by Zongheng Beiqi were full of gifts, Situ Zhao saw their hard work, his expression shook his head slightly embarrassed, smiled embarrassedly, and then approached and took a few objects from each of the two female attendants to his own hands, "It's really hard for you, go back and invite you to dinner~"

With a pause, they all wondered if they had misheard—Miss Lin was going to invite them to dinner???

They looked at each other for a moment, and only after seeing each other's slightly surprised and suspicious faces did they feel that they had heard correctly—what Miss Lin had just said was to invite them to dinner!! But why? One of the waitresses looked at the other person, as if asking why, while the other turned to look at the other... The last person has no one to pass on, but subconsciously looked at his master, Zongheng Beiqi couldn't help but look confused, but soon it was fleeting, a change of painting style, a sharp look back to this attendant, he suddenly trembled, feeling that he must have a hole in his brain just now to look at his master, so he immediately turned his head, and lowered his head suddenly, and the other attendants also immediately lowered their heads.

Situ Zhao didn't see their movements and eyes just now, she just finished speaking, she turned around and strode away with the object in her hand...

"Your mother is so easygoing, well, let me ask you a question?"

"Ask~" Zongheng Beiqi coldly threw out these two words.

"Doesn't the housewife like to give things to others?"

"It's not~"

"And she..."

"Maybe I like you~"

Situ Zhao struggled in his heart for a while, and finally decided to say it, "Hmm... Do you know the physical condition of the housewife? ”

Zongheng Beiqi seemed to feel a slight difference in Situ Zhao's words just now, but in the end, they all turned into calm, but under this calm, there was a trace of sadness, and he said in an extremely calm tone: "You can see it?"

Situ Zhao couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, it turned out that he knew everything, but he pretended not to know.

After being silent for a while, Zongheng Beiqi began to say: "Over the years, the master's mother's condition has become more and more serious, and the doctors who came to diagnose have actually been bribed by the master's mother to hide their illness for her, even the master also..." When he was born, his mother gave birth to him and died, and then he was taken care of by Concubine Li, who treated him as her own, but unfortunately when he was only seven years old, Concubine Li's mother was killed overnight, and then it changed his life, the irresolvable contradiction between Concubine Li and the lord became more and more intense, and the king of Beiqi, who had no support, also had no grace, and moved out of the palace a year later, and came to live alone in this remote mansion, and there were only a few loyal people left to serve around him, although the mansion was not particularly large, but the personnel were scarce, It seems extremely lonely, three years later, he was sent to the northernmost part of the country, although life is cruel to him, but it has also tempered his will, and he has learned a skill, slowly, he has his own power, this Lan Cen case, the North Qi sent troops to pacify the Lan Cen Rebellion, so the triumphant return to the dynasty, but also by the Lord of the commendation, and the return of the North Qi, will undoubtedly cause turmoil in the court, with the crown prince as the head of the first to feel a strong sense of crisis... In short, there will be a lasting dispute between the forces in all aspects, and this Situ Zhao doesn't want to think about it, anyway, he can't fight her.

"He still hasn't changed at all, he has never known how to cherish the people around him, and always lets the people around him leave and die one by one..."

Situ Zhao saw that Zongheng Beiqi's hand was clenched into a fist, his eyes were full of anger and disappointment, it is conceivable that although this master of Zongheng Guo has managed to let all the forces of Zongheng Guo balance each other, the country is stable, and he is a good monarch, but he can do it to be hated by his own son, which shows that he is an extremely failed father. It's always like this at this time, and you can't have it both ways.

"Still, I envy you." Zongheng Beiqi's gaze fell on Situ Zhao's body, he never expected her to say that she envied him!! He didn't speak, but waited patiently for Situ Zhao's next sentence.

"You at least know who your real parents are, although your mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to you, but I believe that your mother must love you very much, and she will give birth to you with all her strength and the last of her strength, isn't it?" Zongheng Beiqi's heart was slightly heavy, but his eyes were attracted by Situ Zhao.

"Concubine Li and the mistress are the closest people to you, when you were young, Concubine Li must have taken good care of you, otherwise, you wouldn't be so concerned about Concubine Li's condition, and the mistress, she must be very sorry for you, I can feel that her eyes are full of love when she looks at you, and she pretends to be just to keep you from worrying about it, and to leave her good baby things to you..." That's nice! Now you must also be the pride of their hearts, there are people who love themselves and people they love in this world, and people with roots are really very happy and happy~" Zongheng Beiqi saw that Situ Zhao's eyes were filled with tears, and his already watery eyes were even more watery. Situ Zhao felt that she seemed to be too sensational, she rarely showed her vulnerable side before, and even if she did, it was in the dead of night, looking at the skylight alone, and shedding her strong coat in the dark room. She never showed the slightest vulnerability in front of strangers, so she quickly calmed down her mood and tried to suppress the tears in her eyes, but there seemed to be some uncontrollable in her eyes, so she reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage, turned her head, and looked out the window.

"This bamboo forest is so beautiful!"

"Stop~" Suddenly, a voice came, and at the same time an old man appeared from behind the carriage, he was very thin, his hair was very messy, and there were traces of blood on his body, Situ Zhao followed the voice, smiled and froze instantly, and the tears in his eyes suddenly gushed out, although the old man was injured, but his legs and feet were still neat, and he fled in the direction of the bamboo forest, and there were four or five people behind him, and her eyes fell firmly on the figure who fled to the bamboo forest, her eyes widened in disbelief, The mouth opened: "Tao... Academician Tao... Stop... Stop~" Situ Zhao shouted, sticking his poked head back, Zongheng Beiqi was startled by Situ Zhao in front of him, "Stop!" ”

Before the carriage stopped, Situ Zhao insisted on getting out of the carriage, and she didn't stand firm and fell to the ground, but soon, she stood up and staggered all the way to the familiar figure in the bamboo forest...

Just as the scabbard pointed at the old man one by one, Situ Zhao shouted "Don't~" while running towards the old man. But after all, the distance is a bit far, if it is a person with light skills, it is not a problem at all, but she does not have a trace of force value, seeing that there is still a distance, Situ Zhao didn't think about anything else, he thought in his heart that it was Academician Tao, her Academician Tao did not die, the old man in front of her was his Academician Tao, she herself didn't realize that when she was running towards the old man, something happened to her body...
