"I don't need it."
Xu Qingyi said lightly, and then stopped looking at Luo Zhaozhao, which made Luo Zhaozhao's hands holding the bird's nest tremble.
Xiguo behind him rolled his eyes but said nothing, leaving Luo Zhaozhao so helpless.
"I worked up all night to make this. I came to look for you these past two days but you weren't here. I heard from the little monk that you were sick, so I thought of coming to see you. So... at least give me this bird's nest..."
She even spoke with a hint of pleading. As proud as she was, she had never shown such an expression and tone. If a man saw her, he would naturally feel pity for her and want to hold her in his arms.
But unfortunately, the person opposite was Xu Qingyi. Perhaps he was already in a bad mood, but he never showed this emotion on his face. He looked at Luo Zhaozhao twice and then turned his head.
Thinking that Xu Qingyi was going to accept her bird's nest, Luo Zhaozhao's eyes showed hope, and she pushed the tray in her hand upwards again.
The small cups on the tray are very exquisite, and you can smell the fragrance inside even with the lid closed.
Because her body still needed recuperation, Luo Zhaozhao could often come and go in this national temple. Xu Qingyi usually tried to avoid meeting her, but now he ran into her.
"Miss Luo and I have never met before. When my master was a child, he was accidentally helped by the governor. Although it was just a child's words, I will definitely repay the favor."
"The herb I gave Miss Luo two days ago is priceless. I originally collected it to save the Emperor's life in a critical moment. Now that I've used it on Miss Luo, I've repaid my favor to her."
He stretched out his hand and spoke coldly to Luo Zhaozhao
"Please return the token, Miss Luo. As for the rest, please don't bother me anymore."
"I have no feelings for the bird's nest cooked by the girl."
Likewise, not to mention Luo Zhaozhao.
Most people rarely hear Xu Qingyi talk so much.
Under normal circumstances, receiving a blessing from the current Grand Master would make people happy for a long time, but these words sounded frighteningly cold in Luo Zhaozhao's ears.
Her hand holding the bird's nest began to tremble. She opened her mouth, but slowly closed it.
She was insulted by Chu Zhiyao and then had a miscarriage. She had survived all kinds of horror and humiliation, but now she felt like she had fallen into an abyss.
When Xiguo saw this, she thought of how Xu Qingyi and Gu Qingsheng looked in front of her. She definitely didn't feel any sympathy, she just felt happy about their misfortune.
After saying these words, Xu Qingyi flicked his sleeves and left, the pleasant sandalwood scent that he usually smelled faintly lingering in the air.
The gate of the national temple was about to close heavily. Luo Zhaozhao finally came back to his senses from the long pain. He threw himself against the gate and cried to the cold figure in the gap.
"How am I inferior to her? How am I not as good as her?"
"Is it identity? Or appearance?!"
"She's just of higher status than me, everything else, everything else..."
"It will only cause you trouble!"
Xu Qingyi stopped, but did not look back, and could not see Luo Zhaozhao's miserable appearance.
He just looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"There's no comparison between you and her."
The sky was clear and cloudless, and the white clouds seemed a bit vigorous with the rising morning glow.
These light words completely shattered Luo Zhaozhao's last bit of fantasy.
I thought, that night, that night...
It could completely break the two of them apart...
But why...
Why is this the result now?
The last crack was immediately closed.
The bird's nest in her hand had already been smashed to pieces. If she went back now, she would have to face Chu Zhiyao's face again...
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips, collapsed to the ground and refused to move.
"Madam, you'd better get up quickly. The ground is very cold."
After watching a good show, Xiguo coughed and stepped forward to support Luo Zhaozhao. What she didn't know was how perceptive Luo Zhaozhao was and how he didn't know the smile in her words. A surge of anger suddenly rose in her heart, and she suddenly slapped Xiguo in the face.
"What use do I have for you!"
The slap came so suddenly that Xiguo was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.
"I brought you here to discuss with me how to bring that person down. Now, her status is getting higher and higher. What are you doing? Are you a loser?"
"You're no help at all, no advice at all. No wonder she kicked you out!"
After venting the anger in her heart, Luo Zhaozhao breathed heavily, while Xiguo just knelt on the ground with her face covered, her body trembling constantly, but her face could not be seen clearly.
Palace maids walked by and kept pointing at them. After calming down, Luo Zhaozhao stood up and looked at Xiguo with a bit more coldness in her eyes.
"You'd better achieve something as soon as possible, otherwise, people like you will have nowhere to go without me."
"Yes... Madam..."
After Xiguo answered, Luo Zhaozhao left with satisfaction. She didn't notice at all that Xiguo looked at her with a flash of resentment when he raised his head again.
…
In the afternoon, Su Huai woke up.
She didn't go crazy as expected. She seemed to have accepted the fact and treated everyone with her usual smile.
She still looked simple, elegant and quiet, but Gu Qingsheng always felt that there was something more in her.
"Su Huai, it would be best if you could think it through. We will slowly find a way to cure your face."
"Young Master Yan has great magical powers and connections, he will definitely be able to save you."
Madam Xi patted Su Huai on the back and said, Su Huai just nodded and looked up to meet An Yi's complicated eyes.
As if she felt something, she smiled at An Yi.
"I've slept for so long, and I've made up my mind. Appearance isn't the most important thing. You don't need to blame yourself, and neither does Master Lin."
"Even if she had killed me that day, I would not have revealed Master Lin's whereabouts. This was my own choice, but it's a pity..."
Like self-mockery
"I can't accept customers anymore. I'm afraid no customer will like my face."
Although these were words of comfort, An Yi frowned when she heard them.
She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. Seeing Su Huai's calm expression, she opened her mouth and finally said only one sentence:
"Don't keep anything inside. Let's solve it together, okay?"
"That's natural."
Su Huai smiled.
"Even if you can't take customers, you will always be my girl."
Madam Xi held her in her arms and touched Su Huai's hair lovingly.
Gu Qingsheng looked at Su Huai twice more, and the other party also looked at her. Although it was only a moment, she saw countless things in Su Huai's eyes.
The most obvious one is.
Despair and sadness.
Sad?
Gu Qingsheng felt a chill in his heart and was stunned. When he looked at Su Huai again, the emotion disappeared.
