Chapter 266: Open Your Heart
Mrs. Xiao came in with the help of Grandma Sun and saw Xuanbao lying ill, she was distressed.
"You little doll scared my grandmother to death."
"Grandmother, I'm fine."
Xuan Bao was about to get up, Xiao Lao Taijun motioned for her to lie down and don't get up, the little maid brought a chair and put it in front of the bed, and she sat down.
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?"
Hearing Mrs. Xiao ask, Dong Xue didn't dare to hide it, and told her exactly what the imperial doctor said.
Looking at Xuanbao, thinking of such a small doll and being overtired, Mrs. Xiao blamed herself very much and looked uncomfortable.
"Let's all go down." Grandma Sun knew that Mrs. Xiao and Xuan Bao had a conversation, so she glanced at a few maids in the house.
Under the leadership of Mama Sun, all the people retreated, and only Mrs. Xiao and Xuan Bao were left in the room.
Standing up, Old Taijun Xiao stretched out his hand to hold Xuanbao and his eyes were slightly red: "How much does your little doll bear?" If your father comes back, your grandmother will have no face to face it, how should you explain it to him? ”
Daddy? This title is unfamiliar to Xuanbao, but perhaps because she has gradually integrated into this family, the tall and burly figure that comes to mind is blurred, but she feels very kind.
"Grandmother, it's not that exaggerated, I'm fine."
Xuan Bao snuggled in Mrs. Xiao's arms and smiled, she could feel that her grandmother's hug was different from the past, maybe it was just because she was well-behaved and released sincerity and kindness to make the old man feel good, but this hug was heartfelt and distressed.
"I'm overtired, so I'm going to take care of myself, okay?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xuanbao, "The face is really bad, I will ask your mother to pay more attention to it when I go back, go to my private library to see what is suitable for you, and stew more supplements to replenish your body." ”
"Thank you, grandmother." Xuan Bao smiled and arched his hand.
After intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the direction of the door, Old Mrs. Xiao lowered her voice: "Tell your grandmother honestly, where did you go before you got sick?" ”
Grandmother is so powerful, she can guess what her mother can't guess, Xuanbao inexplicably avoids Mrs. Xiao's gaze.
"What? Don't want to tell your grandmother or don't want to tell your grandmother? ”
"I can't say much." Xuanbao had no choice but to explain, "That night, I had an appointment with the Queen Mother's aunt and the emperor's cousin, and I went to the palace. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao hugged Xuanbao suddenly, and hugged it very tightly.
Xuan Bao was stunned, and after a while, she looked up and found that Old Taijun Xiao looked excited, and looked abnormal.
Old Taijun Xiao hugged Xuanbao tightly for a long time before slowly letting go: "Xuanbao, it's better for you to go less to places like the palace." ”
Go less? Why? There were doubts in his heart, but Xuan Bao didn't speak, just looked up at Mrs. Xiao with questions on his face.
"Grandmother knows, and there are your aunts and cousins in the palace, but in addition to this identity, they are also the queen mother and the emperor."
"Oh." Xuan Bao nodded slightly, "I know." ”
Old Taijun Xiao stretched out his hand and stroked Xuanbao's head: "I don't know what you have done for them, I only know that you are my granddaughter, I just hope that you will grow up safe and happy, as for those messes, it has nothing to do with you." ”
Hearing these heart-wrenching words, Xuan Bao knew that Mrs. Xiao loved herself from the bottom of her heart.
The little doll wrapped her arms around Mrs. Xiao's neck: "Grandmother, I don't want to lie to you, I am indeed doing something for the Queen Mother's aunt and the emperor's cousin......." ”
Before he finished speaking, Old Taijun Xiao stretched out his hand and covered Xuanbao's mouth: "If you can't say it, don't say it." ”
Xuan Bao nodded slightly, and Old Taijun Xiao let go of his hand with a melancholy expression.
"Grandmother, are you upset?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's worried." Old Taijun Xiao grabbed Xuanbao's hands, "Your grandfather is loyal to the first emperor, and he doesn't even want people, ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts, your father has opened up territory and guarded the border for today's saint, our Xiao family has done enough, and we don't need you to do anything more." ”
Xuanbao's heart moved, grandmother said that it was okay for his father to fight on the battlefield, but it was interesting about his grandfather.
If the little doll only suspected that her grandmother was the one in the know, then Mrs. Xiao's words undoubtedly confirmed her guess.
"Grandmother, do you know grandfather exists?" Xuanbao is not asking, but affirming.
Old Taijun Xiao was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly: "Don't worry, I will go to him, and I will never let him hurt anyone in the Xiao family." ”
The little doll tentatively said, "What if Xuanbao wants to do the right thing for heaven?" ”
"No, no." Mrs. Xiao was anxious, "Xuanbao, he's not, he, he's forced to do it." ”
With a long sigh, Xuan Bao raised his little hand to wipe away the tears that fell from the corners of Old Taijun Xiao's eyes: "Grandmother, at this time, are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?" ”
"Xuanbao, grandmother is for your good." Old Taijun Xiao pondered for a moment, "Either I'll send you away, go far away, and never come back." You can rest assured, I will arrange everything and you will live a happy, simple, and happy life. ”
"Grandmother, there's no way I'm going to let go of my mother and brothers." Xuan Bao was sober, "This is my home, and they are my family. When encountering any hardships and hardships, shouldn't the family bear them together? ”
Mrs. Xiao was silent, and after a long time, she let go of her hands and put Xuan Bao back on the bed.
"yes, I don't live as well as a five-year-old doll." Old Taijun Xiao had tears in her eyes, "Xuanbao, you're right, we're a family. ”
"Grandmother, it's not Xuanbao bragging, you know I'm not an ordinary little doll, maybe I can help you and grandfather." Xuan Bao hesitated for a moment, but decided to call that person, ghost, and ghost thing grandfather.
Tears fell straight down, and Mrs. Xiao raised her hand to wipe away the tears and said, "Grandmother has lost her temper, this matter has been pressed in my heart for more than ten years, and I can't hold back my feelings." ”
Xuan Bao took out his own handkerchief and handed it forward, obediently accompanied his grandmother silently, and let her old man vent the sadness in his heart.
After coming over for a long time, Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath and finally returned to normal, but her red eyes still showed traces of crying.
"Grandmother, you're still sick." Old Taijun Xiao reached out and pulled the quilt high to cover Xuanbao's feet.
"Grandmother." The little doll couldn't help but call.
Old Taijun Xiao raised her hand and touched Xuanbao's head: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you all, only tell you one." But the most important thing right now is that you have to take care of your body first, and when you are healed, your grandmother will tell you everything. ”
"Okay." Xuanbao is very happy, and his grandmother's matter will definitely be fulfilled.
"Lie down and rest."
"Grandmother, I've been lying down for two days and one night, and I can't sleep anymore." Xuanbao proposed, "Why don't we talk casually." ”
"Okay, just talk about it."
