Qiu Zhu suddenly burst into tears, "Queen Mother, my grandmother was killed by his mother. How can I be with him?"
Qingyin sighed and handed over a handkerchief. "Cry if you want to. It will be fine after crying for a while."
Qiu Zhu took the handkerchief and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. I think I feel much better now."
"Does Xiao Wei know about this?" Qingyin asked.
Qiu Zhu shook her head. "He probably didn't know. His mother naturally didn't dare to bring this up. And I was busy dealing with Grandma's funeral at the time, so I didn't mention it to him."
She also hated him very much at that time.
So, after finishing my grandma's funeral, I packed up my things and prepared to leave.
Perhaps because of her cold attitude and deliberate avoidance towards him in the past few days, he felt uneasy, so Xiao Wei broke into her room in the dark that night.
When he saw the pile of packed packages, Xiao Wei asked helplessly, "Where are you going?"
Qiu Zhu said coldly: "Can you go? Of course you have to leave here."
"Leave? Why do you want to leave? I know you are sad because grandma passed away suddenly, but I am still here and I will always be with you." Xiao Wei said anxiously.
Qiu Zhu sneered, "Accompany me? Do you think I'd care? Now that Grandma's gone, I'm all alone here without any family. Are you happy?"
Xiao Wei said in panic, "A Xiu, what do you mean by that? Grandma is gone, why should I be happy? Please don't say such things, I'm afraid..."
Grandma has been like my dearest grandma over the years, and I am very sad, very sad."
The boy wanted to cut out his heart to make a promise.
Qiu Zhu was unmoved. She looked at Xiao Wei coldly and said, "It's late at night. Please leave."
Xiao Wei naturally didn't dare to leave like this. He tried to pull her away, but after meeting Qiu Zhu's cold gaze, he slowly let her go. "A Xiu, we agreed that I will marry you after you come of age. Please don't leave, okay? From now on, I will definitely..."
"Get out!" Qiu Zhu said angrily.
If he hadn't said he wanted to marry her, his mother wouldn't have come to her house, and grandma wouldn't have died.
Seeing Qiuzhu crying uncontrollably, Xiao Wei hurriedly wiped her tears with his sleeves, "A Xiu, don't cry."
He stopped talking.
Qiu Zhu cried for a long time before she finally recovered. Her voice was choked, but she was determined. "Go now. There will be no future. I'm leaving tomorrow. From now on, let's just forget about each other."
Xiao Wei took a step back in a daze. "Are you going to abandon me too?" He suddenly laughed heartily. "Yeah, how can someone like me be worthy of you? Well, it's better to leave."
When Qiu Zhu recalled this, tears began to fall like beads from a broken string.
"Empress Dowager, Xiao Wei, he, he..."
It turned out that in order to conceal the news that he was infertile, the village chief bought a daughter of an official from the town who was sold for a crime.
Because the indenture was in the hands of the village chief, Xiao Wei's mother had no choice but to agree to lend her seed.
But Xiao Wei's arrival did not bring any happiness to the family.
On the contrary, because of his arrival, the house was filled with suffocation.
Looking at that face that was completely different from his own, day after day, year after year, the village chief would torture them mother and son whenever he was unhappy.
Xiao Wei was still young at that time, and he didn't understand why his father's eyes were filled with nothing but disgust and hatred every time he stared at him.
Later, one time his father was drunk and locked his mother in the room. He heard his father calling his mother a bitch while saying that he was wrong.
Only then did he realize how miserable his birth was.
Qingyin sighed softly, "Xiao Wei is also a pitiful person. Although the incident with your grandma was caused by him, the fault is not his in the end."
"I know, but I still can't get over it. I just hope he can find a good partner and live a happy life."
Qiu Zhu wiped away her tears. Perhaps the past that had been buried deep in her heart could finally be revealed, and the haze in her heart finally dissipated a lot.
The smile also became lighter.
Seeing that she really didn't want to, Qingyin changed the subject and said, "What are your plans after leaving the palace? I didn't ask before because I thought you could go home. Now, I'm a little worried."
Qiu Zhu smiled. "To be honest, Your Majesty, I've had this plan since the first day I entered the palace. After leaving the palace, I'm going to go south and find a beautiful place. There I'll build a house. If I can meet the right person, I can live a simple life with just a cup of tea and a few meals."
It was this thought that allowed her to survive these lonely days.
Qingyin smiled and said, "That sounds good. I'll give you more silver then. I won't give you any of those extravagant rewards."
Qiu Zhu couldn't help but laugh, and suddenly remembered Nanny Sun's request. She said, "How about I exchange some silver for a reward from the Queen Mother?"
Qingyin shook her head helplessly, "No exchange." Before Qiuzhu could react, she continued, "Give me the silver and the reward. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
At this moment, Qiu Zhu's heart felt like it was soaked in warm water, making it warm.
And at this time.
In the imperial study.
Nangong Yuan, who had just finished the morning court, had a gloomy look on his face after driving everyone out.
"Nangong Yan, how dare you touch her last night?" Nangong Yuan said word by word, gritting his teeth.
Nangong Yan knew he was in the wrong and didn't say anything for a long time.
Last night, he really should have refused.
But when he saw those red eyes that seemed about to cry, he no longer had the mind to refuse.
Nangong Yuan sneered, "What? Are you learning to be a turtle? You dare not admit it, you are really good."
He spoke the last three words slowly, obviously he was extremely angry.
Nangong Yan coughed lightly, "Um, you suddenly disappeared last night, what happened?"
Nangong Yuan chuckled, "What do you think?"
Li Zhanghou was outside, and he would occasionally glance at the imperial study out of the corner of his eye.
I always feel that the emperor has been a little strange lately.
But if he really wanted to explain it, he couldn't.
I always feel that sometimes the emperor doesn’t act like an emperor.
Nangong Yuan directly gave up the initiative of his body, "Since I am now fading, why not let you adapt to this body in advance."
"A Yuan?" Nangong Yan asked anxiously.
But Nangong Yuan seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the sea, leaving no trace.
Nangong Yan had no choice but to look at the pile of memorials on the table, "A Yuan, what exactly do you want to do?"
What does he want to do?
Maybe you don't want to do anything?
Nangong Yan followed Nangong Yuan's example in handling state affairs, but he did not dare to step into the Cining Palace again.
Ever since he took over Nangong Yuan's body, he realized how powerful the Gu in her body was.
If this continues, the poison will penetrate deep into the bone marrow and will never be removed.
And that night, he also...
Thinking of this, he wanted to beat himself up.
But he didn't even have time to scold himself before he heard Li Zhang running over and saying, "Empress Mu had a miscarriage."
