Chapter 4 Chapter 4 From now on, Guo Luoluo Qingyao is her...
Li Shuyao felt so guilty that she almost forgot the purpose of her trip. She raised her hands to cover her face and cried even harder.
Guo Luoluo Qingyao didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. She stood there at a loss for a moment. After she came to her senses, she quickly moved closer to Li Shuyao, put her arms around her, shook her gently a few times, and lowered her voice to comfort her, "Good sister, don't cry..."
"Did I say something wrong just now? But... but I didn't say anything. Or do you not like the cabinet? You don't like the earrings? It can't be... it can't be that you don't like silver, right?" Guo Luoluo Qingyao's guesses became more and more outrageous.
Li Shuyao: "..."
She was still immersed in a huge sense of guilt, with a sour feeling in her throat that made her unable to speak. Only two lines of tears kept falling down her face.
She also felt that she was quite baffled. She had clearly come here to apologize to Guo Luoluo Qingyao, but ended up being the one being comforted.
Besides, the person who did the wrong thing was obviously the "Li Shuyao" in the book, not her, so why should she feel guilty?
It's so pretentious.
Thinking of this, she finally broke free from the strong sense of guilt. She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the sour feeling in her throat. As she suppressed it, she suddenly heard Guo Luoluo Qingyao muttering in her ear: "...You can't be dislike money, right?"
Li Shuyao raised her head suddenly, "No way!"
"I'm not a fool. Who doesn't love money?"
Guo Luoluo Qingyao's eyes widened when she heard this. "So you think half is too little?"
Li Shuyao then realized something was wrong. The topic between the two of them was now like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, galloping and leaping into a completely unknown area.
Li Shuyao blinked, two tears continued to fall, she wiped them away and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean by half?"
Guo Luoluo Qingyao saw her blink and blinked twice as well, "Aren't you crying because the half I gave you was too little?"
Li Shuyao: "..."
She was a little confused: "No, I cried because I felt guilty. I felt that you were so good to me, and I scolded you like that yesterday. It was really wrong."
Guo Luoluo Qingyao then recalled the two sentences Li Shuyao said before she started crying, and then she suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
Li Shuyao continued, "Yes, and didn't I tell you as soon as I walked in? I'm here to apologize to you."
Guo Luoluo Qingyao explained: "But I also said that my sister doesn't need to apologize to me at all."
"And I think what my sister said is quite right. In fact, it is me who has treated you poorly. If it were not for me, you would be the one favored by the emperor now."
When she said this, her expression was very sincere, as if it came from the bottom of her heart, and Li Shuyao believed it instantly.
——She believed it originally.
As the novel states, the death of Li Shuyao was the catalyst for Guo Luoluo Qingyao's dark transformation. After Wu Ya murdered her, Guo Luoluo Qingyao secretly searched for the murderer. She spent more than half a year eliminating most of the maids in the Palace of Heavenly Purity before finally turning her suspicions on Wu Ya.
After numerous tests, Guo Luoluo Qingyao was almost certain that even if Wu Yashi wasn't the direct murderer, she was likely to have some involvement. So, without hesitation, she dedicated decades to seeking revenge for "Li Shuyao."
How could such a kind-hearted girl become a "villain"?
Li Shuyao felt extremely uncomfortable when she was reading the book. Most of the comments were praising Uya for her decisiveness and ruthlessness, and she couldn't find a place to complain.
If the cannon fodder didn't have the same name as her, she would have given up reading the article long ago!
No, abandoning the article is not enough, you also have to report the author for having "incorrect values"!
…
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Shuyao puffed her cheeks unhappily and said in a muffled voice, "The reason why the emperor took a fancy to you is because you are born beautiful and good-looking, with a face as pretty as a flower and as bright as the moon, a graceful figure, a charming figure, and graceful manners. Well... and also, you are beautiful, and beauty is a feast for the eyes?" She said several idioms in a row, using all she had learned in her life.
After a pause, Li Shuyao continued, "So it's because you have good qualities that the Emperor likes you. If it were me, the Emperor wouldn't like you."
Otherwise, why would he be so angry when "Li Shuyao" climbed into bed and directly order someone to beat her to death?
Hearing Li Shuyao's words, Guo Luoluo Qingyao could hardly hold back the smile on her face. Her two dark eyes gleamed as she looked over, her expression both surprised and delighted as she asked, "Really?"
Li Shuyao nodded: "Of course it's true!"
"Sister, do you really think I'm pretty?" Guo Luoluo Qingyao couldn't help but confirm it again.
Li Shuyao subconsciously sensed that something seemed amiss and tilted his head to look at the beautiful woman beside him, "Why aren't you asking the Emperor?"
Guo Luoluo Qingyao blinked her eyes. "I will naturally ask the emperor, but I have to confirm my sister's situation before I can feel at ease."
Peace of mind, what peace of mind?
Li Shuyao was puzzled, but she continued with Guo Luoluo Qingyao's topic, "Of course I think you're pretty, too."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Guo Luoluo Qingyao's face suddenly became brighter.
She was so happy that she couldn't help shaking her feet. After shaking for a while, she moved closer to Li Shuyao again, "Sister, say it again, say it again."
Who doesn’t like to hear praise?
She likes it the most anyway, especially the praise from Sister Shu Yao.
Li Shuyao: "..."
She was afraid that the man in front of her would be so happy that he would fly to the sky, so she pursed her lips tightly and refused to speak again no matter how Guo Luoluo Qingyao begged.
Guo Luoluo Qingyao had to give up with regret.
Just at this time, Lingluo brought in two cups of tea and a few plates of snacks.
Guo Luoluo Qingyao reluctantly separated from Li Shuyao, pulled out the small table on the couch again, and each of them ate snacks quietly for a while.
These snacks were specially developed by the Imperial Kitchen of the Palace of Heavenly Purity to satisfy the taste of Guo Luoluo Qingyao. They were cute and exquisite in shape, and tasted sweet but not greasy. Li Shuyao was still hungry, so she ate most of the plate before stopping.
Seeing that she liked it, Guo Luoluo Qingyao stopped what she was doing early, placed the delicate silver fork on the edge of the tray, supported her chin with one hand, and watched Li Shuyao eat with a serious expression.
She looked at Li Shuyao so much that she felt a little embarrassed.
He put down his fork with an embarrassed look on his face, "Did I eat too much?"
Guo Luoluo Qingyao quickly shook her head. "How is this too much? Lingluo is still preparing. There are about five or six plates left. Eat as much as you can. Take the rest back and share it with Yueshu, Lingru and the others." After a pause, she lowered her voice and said mysteriously to Li Shuyao, "But you must remember not to give it to Lianchu. I don't like her very much!"
Li Shuyao was startled, feeling like she had eaten a big melon. The snack in her hand suddenly lost its flavor. She couldn't help but ask repeatedly, "What happened to her?"
Guo Luoluo Qingyao was hesitant. Should she tell Li Shuyao about the conflict between herself and Wuya? After all, in her impression, Sister Shuyao and Wuya had a good relationship. If she told her, would Sister Shuyao think she was trying to sow discord?
But if I don’t tell her, what if Uya becomes the one to bully Sister Shu Yao in the future?
After much hesitation, Guo Luoluo Qingyao decided to give it a try first.
She first asked Li Shuyao: "So, what do you think of Lianchu? What is she like?"
Li Shuyao said without hesitation: "The originator of green tea, the king of white lotus."
Guo Luoluo Qingyao: "..."
Why couldn’t she understand what Sister Shu Yao was saying?
Seeing the confused expression on the face of the beautiful girl in front of him, Li Shuyao explained considerately, "It means that she is particularly good at acting. On the surface, she seems to be a pure and innocent white lotus, but behind the scenes, she is actually a dirty and black mud. Her mind is very deep and evil."
But Guo Luoluo Qingyao still didn't understand.
Li Shuyao could only rummage through the original owner's memory for a long time and gave a few examples.
Guo Luoluo Qingyao finally grasped a little, and murmured, "I understand white lotus, but what does green tea mean?"
Li Shuyao: "..."
She found herself unable to explain herself.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time.
In the end, it was Guo Luoluo Qingyao who looked away first, thinking that it was probably a new word invented by Sister Shu Yao, so she stopped asking.
The topic finally got back on track.
Guo Luoluo Qingyao had a draft in mind before she slowly recounted her experiences working with the Uya clan. However, those incidents weren't particularly serious, and they only made Guo Luoluo Qingyao feel subtly uncomfortable.
For example, one time, when the two of them went to the Imperial Household Department to collect something, and seeing that the person in charge was a leading eunuch in the palace known for his harsh and sharp tongue, Uya would stand behind Guo Luoluo Qingyao, saying that she was new and would go first. When it was Guo Luoluo Qingyao's turn, she would quietly step aside, wait for Guo Luoluo Qingyao to come back after collecting her things, and then she would use the excuse that she had something urgent to deal with and asked Guo Luoluo Qingyao to give her the things first so she could go get another one.
Another time, a palace maid asked Uya something. Uya was not quite sure, so she went to ask Guo Luoluo Qingyao. Guo Luoluo Qingyao gave a clear answer, but Uya herself remembered it wrongly and gave the palace maid wrong information. When the palace maid made a mistake and came to question her, Uya said with a look of surprise that it was actually Guo Luoluo Qingyao who told her, and she was just repeating the original words.
The innocence and purity of her expression made Guo Luoluo Qingyao confused for a moment. Did she really say something wrong that caused the palace maid to be punished for no reason...
"Actually, these are just trivial matters, but as they accumulate over and over again, I always feel that Lian Chu is not very trustworthy." Guo Luoluo Qingyao frowned and made a solemn conclusion.
Li Shuyao nodded continuously as she listened.
Yes, yes, yes, Uya is not a good best friend, she is more like an enemy best friend.
She announced that from now on, Guo Luoluo Qingyao would be her good partner, oh no, her best friend!
Thinking of this, he curved his eyebrows towards Guo Luoluo Qingyao, his smile as bright as a crescent moon.
