Su Lijin's words stirred up a storm in Gu Han's heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Seeing the pain and struggle on the resolute face of the man in front of her, which completely overturned her deep affection like faith, Su Lijin couldn't help but sigh.
The events involved in this truth are unbearable for any normal person.
One is his only beloved disciple, and the other is his best friend.
His beloved disciple died at the hands of his best friend, who killed him and also intended to kill him.
This kind of thing is truly a huge torture to human nature.
After a while, Gu Han gradually calmed down. He put away the sadness and anger on his face and said, "Thank you for this."
Su Lijin understood the weight of his words and shook her head: "This is what I promised to do."
At first, she took on this task in order to become Gu Han's apprentice.
Gu Han looked at her, his eyes filled with gratitude, and nodded:
"From today on, you will replace Qiu Shui and become my, Gu Han's, apprentice."
"real?"
"Well, whatever you want to learn, I will teach you everything I know."
After receiving Gu Han's approval, Su Lijin's face lit up with a relaxed smile. She quickly bowed deeply and said in a sincere and solemn tone, "Disciple thanks Master."
Looking at Su Lijin, Gu Han seemed to recall some distant memory, but quickly regained his composure and said, "I hope you can help me lure the snake out of its hole by using Qiu Shui's identity."
Su Lijin understood and nodded in agreement.
The longer they were away, the more suspicious it would be, so the two of them soon went back separately.
From a distance, Su Lijin could hear the laughter coming from the other side of the women's seats, especially the compliments to the Queen Mother and her vain smile, which could be heard from such a long distance away.
It was obvious that the longer she was away, the longer the Queen Mother's boasting continued.
She shrugged: "For this reason, the Queen Mother's energy is quite good."
Back at the table, the Queen Mother glanced at him with dissatisfaction and said unhappily, "As a queen, where have you been instead of staying here to rule?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Su Lijin, some looking at her, some gloating, and all kinds of thoughts.
Facing everyone's gaze, Su Lijin sat upright, picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, then said: "Of course I went to the toilet, where else could I go?"
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's expression suddenly fell: "A Queen who speaks so filthy words, where has she learned the virtues and etiquette of a woman?"
The others also looked at this and sneered, and some of them had mocking eyes and whispered to each other.
"Tsk, did she wash her hands? I saw her just eat the grapes."
"No way? That's too disgusting."
These words made the Queen Mother's face look even more ugly and contemptuous.
Su Lijin glanced at those people, her eyes full of majesty, which scared them so much that their faces turned pale and they quickly stopped talking.
She picked up the grapes with amusement, took another slow bite, and praised with a fake smile: "The Queen Mother is right, going to the toilet is filthy. You are so noble, you naturally don't have to do such filthy things. You don't have to go every day. It's really enviable."
She had something else in her words, saying that the Queen Mother didn't go to the toilet.
How could the Queen Mother not hear it? Her old face turned red with anger and she shouted angrily: "You!"
He was about to explode, but was interrupted by a servant who came running over.
"Good news, the first prey has been captured!"
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the other side, and they looked at the servant.
The Queen Mother snorted heavily, but couldn't lash out for a moment, so she was too lazy to look at Su Lijin.
"What's the first prey?"
Many people stretched their necks. The fun of hunting lies in the moment of harvest, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the Empress, our first prey is a strong, long-haired wild boar!"
The servant's eyes were full of excitement as he dragged the prey all the way over.
"Good news, the second prey has been captured!"
"Good news, the third prey has been captured!"
…
Before they could react, good news came one after another. Prey were dragged over one after another, and the atmosphere became joyous for a while.
Su Lijin looked at the prey with a hint of joy in her eyes: "It looks like the harvest is quite rich."
She is interested in horse riding and archery, and is naturally also attracted by the rewarding moments such as hunting.
The Queen Mother smiled widely: "Well, well, well, you are indeed our loyal and brave warriors. You are all great!"
The women also looked at the prey with curiosity and smiles.
After a moment, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "There is a lot of prey. Everyone will have a feast today. I will ask a question to see what kind of food you can make with the prey."
Su Lijin raised her eyebrows.
Among the female relatives, apart from some officials' families, many were concubines. When they heard this question, they suddenly looked at each other in confusion.
"Queen, please cook one for me. You always say you are helping the Emperor. I want to see how good your cooking skills are. Are you as virtuous as you say you are?"
The Queen Mother suddenly said.
The look in his eyes clearly showed that he was deliberately making things difficult for her.
The female relatives looked at him with eyes full of anticipation for a good show.
"The Queen must be very virtuous and will definitely do a great job. Don't you agree?"
"That's right, the Queen Mother is so considerate of the Empress that she gave her such an opportunity to show off."
Among the female members of the family, the concubines spoke in a sarcastic tone.
How could Su Lijin not understand what they meant? They were clearly trying to force her to do something and make a fool of herself.
Because Su Lijin can't cook.
Looking at the prey on the field, Su Lijin was slightly distracted.
