For two whole days, people all over Kyoto were looking for Aunt Cui with their portraits in their hands.
In a carriage, Aunt Cui was leaning weakly.
The strong wind blew open the shaking curtains outside the carriage.
Aunt Cui looked at the white snow outside the window.
He lowered his eyes and looked behind him: "Where are we going?"
A large palm fell on her face, and the calloused fingertips gently stroked it. A deep voice slowly fell: "Suzhou."
"Suzhou?" Aunt Cui opened her tightly closed eyes.
"What are we doing in Suzhou?"
The man behind him had a full beard, but his eyes were the only thing that was bright.
Aunt Cui stared blankly at the person beside her. She didn't expect that she would collapse in the house in the end, and the person who came to save her life in the end would be the housekeeper whom she had never taken seriously before.
Butler Hu stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Aunt Cui's face with his palm. As he looked down, a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes: "Your face will naturally be useful in Suzhou."
Only then did Aunt Cui raise her hand and gently stroke her own cheek.
Her face.
Aunt Cui naturally knew that she had a naturally beautiful face.
She knew from childhood that she could get many conveniences by relying on this face.
When she was little, she could use this face to beg for candy. When she grew up a little and had many sisters in the family, she could use this face to do less farm work.
But the biggest convenience was that when she was sixteen, this face changed her life.
Aunt Cui stroked her cheek silently with her hand.
At that time, Shen Changshan came to find himself with his guards.
After looking at her face, Shen Changshan's eyes were filled with surprise, and she can still remember it clearly when she thinks about it now.
With this face, her life changed completely from then on.
"Butler Hu." Aunt Cui couldn't help but tremble when she thought of Suzhou.
She turned to look at the person behind her, fear in her eyes.
"I don't want to go to Suzhou." Aunt Cui knew very well what Suzhou was, and Butler Hu knew it even better.
Thinking of Gu Mingzhu's face.
Aunt Cui couldn't help but tremble a little.
Suzhou is Gu Mingzhu's hometown, how dare she leave? Thinking of the last time she saw Gu Mingzhu's face, Aunt Cui felt very uncomfortable.
She is not from Suzhou.
"Madam Cui, don't be willful!" Butler Hu placed his hand gently on Madam Cui's shoulder.
In the past, he could only watch silently from behind.
He never thought that one day he would be able to hold this person in his arms.
Butler Hu's hands tightened and he said, "Your face will definitely be a big deal if you go to Suzhou."
Aunt Cui knew what this sentence meant.
Her face?
Aunt Cui's hand couldn't help but fall on her own cheek.
Isn't it because of her natural appearance that her face resembles Gu Mingzhu?
The Gu family's main business is in Suzhou. I heard these things that the Gu family's business in Suzhou is growing more and more.
I don’t know how much worse it is than the imperial merchants.
Aunt Cui knew very well why Butler Hu wanted to go to Suzhou now.
: "I don't!"
She gritted her teeth and shook off Butler Hu's hand: "I'll go anywhere, but not to Suzhou."
"Mrs. Cui!" The voice behind her became irritable.
Butler Hu's hand fell on Aunt Cui's back.
The beloved Aunt Cui's face changed in an instant.
"Mother Cui, you killed the old lady of the Shen family. Do you think you can still stay in the capital?" Butler Hu's expression had become impatient.
His hand, whether intentionally or unintentionally, gently pressed on Aunt Cui's back.
The beloved Aunt Cui's face changed all of a sudden.
Sweat dripped down her forehead, and Aunt Cui was in so much pain that she couldn't even lift her back.
Where had she ever suffered so much before?
Shen Changshan always held her in his palm, caring and doting on her.
Where has there ever been such a time?
There were waves of pain in the lower back, and Aunt Cui wanted to move away in pain.
But Butler Hu refused to move his hands from her back.
"You have to know that if you return to Kyoto, the only thing waiting for you is death!"
Butler Hu slowly moved his hand down, but the finger continued to exert force. Keep crushing on her wound.
"Let go, let go!" Aunt Cui's forehead was dripping with sweat.
But no matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape the clutches of Butler Hu.
"Auntie, just listen to me." Butler Hu's face was cold and his eyes were icy. "If you don't go to Suzhou, you will just wait for death."
The sound of horse hooves came from outside the carriage.
Aunt Cui couldn't help twitching all over from the pain.
She couldn't help but think of Shen Changshan at this moment.
That kind of person is so gentle to himself.
Be very careful, fearing that you might hurt yourself by moving too much.
But at this moment, that hand kept falling on her wound.
Aunt Cui felt that her wound was about to be torn apart, and after she almost fainted from the pain, she finally spoke with trembling teeth.
"I am!"
After the weak voice fell, Aunt Cui felt the hand on her back loosen up.
My whole body was trembling helplessly.
Only when the hand completely fell off her body did she collapse into the carriage.
"What did you just say?"
The hand behind her gently stroked her neck, and two fingers grabbed her hair and pulled it back with force.
"explain!"
Her scalp went numb, and Aunt Cui broke out in a cold sweat in pain: "Fuck you!"
It’s just Suzhou, and…it’s not certain that I’ll be able to meet the Gu family.
Besides, what's more, it's not all her fault.
Gu Mingzhu died, so what did it have to do with her?
The carriage was running towards the outside. Aunt Cui listened to the sound of horse hooves, but her heart could not calm down for a long time.
********
"I have searched all over Kyoto, but I can't find Aunt Cui."
However, Aunt Cui’s figure could not be found no matter how hard they looked.
"It's my fault. We have searched the entire capital but still can't find the person." The guards knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
It was also because they were too helpless that the Imperial Concubine asked them to look for someone.
I've been searching for two days, but I still can't find it.
: "I won't look for it anymore." Inside the palace, Chen Fu rubbed her brows with a headache.
These past few days, she must have had too many things to do and felt indescribably tired.
When Ru'er heard that Aunt Cui had not been found, he would naturally become even more upset.
"We searched all over Kyoto but couldn't find him. He must have fled outside Kyoto a long time ago."
Chen Fu lowered her eyes and spoke softly.
"It's because our subordinates are not doing their job well." The leading guard hung his head to the ground.
As guards, they couldn't even find a woman.
Even if the master says that they are worthless, they should accept it.
"Let's get off first."
Except for Kyoto, it is hard to find.
Shen Fu rubbed her brows helplessly.
If she can't find it herself, then His Majesty will have to find it herself.
Chen Fu lowered her eyes and sighed helplessly.
When Zi Su saw the Empress's look, she stood up and sent the guards away.
Just as I reached the door, I saw Doctor He walking towards me.
Why is he here?
Zi Su's eyes widened, and after taking a look at 㦳, she was as if she had seen a ghost.
Why did he come here out of nowhere?
Zi Su's steps weakened and he ran backwards without hesitation, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"Doctor He." Xiao Guizi, who was sitting on the side, had bright eyes. When she saw Doctor He, she hurried over to greet him.
"Doctor He, why are you here?"
I haven't seen Doctor He for a few days. Does he seem to be getting weaker?
The grey robe he was wearing looked as if it had not been washed for several days, his face looked weak, and his steps became a little limp.
"Doctor He, what's wrong with you?"
"Is the queen here?" Doctor He grabbed Xiao Guizi's hand and squeezed it tightly.
"I have something to ask the Queen."
"The Queen is here." Xiao Guizi nodded and looked at Doctor He with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"Doctor He, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
He Congyu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He waited for his beating heart to gradually calm down before he spoke in a hoarse voice: "I have something to ask the queen."
"Doctor He, please wait a moment." Xiao Guizi also noticed that something was wrong with Doctor He.
He put down the hand that was holding He Cong's arm and said, "Wait here. I will go into the room and report to the queen."
He Congyu stood at the door, looking at the house which was so close.
I couldn't help but nodded: "Thank you, father-in-law."
Inside the house, Shen Fu already knew why she came.
Zi Su knelt on the ground as if she had seen a ghost, her face pale: "My lady, I didn't mean it."
"Just now at the door, Doctor He walked towards me, and I couldn't hide in time."
When Zi Su thought about this, she still felt that she was wronged.
She said that she would never see He Cong again.
But I didn't expect to meet him every time.
She was already cautious enough, but she was afraid that her master would be angry after knowing it.
But she couldn't hide or escape.
She was just sitting in the room, but she still bumped into He Congmao.
Thinking of this, Zi Su couldn't help but sigh.
"The Queen Mother told you not to like He Congyu, but she never told you not to see him."
Chen Fu looked at Zi Su's face and sighed, "Doctor He will come to He Huan Palace in the future. Since it is unavoidable, we might as well face it directly."
Shisu raised her head in confusion.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Xiao Guizi walked in: "Madam, Doctor He is at the door, and he said he wants to see you for something."
Only then did Chen Fu take her eyes away from Zi Su's face and said calmly, "Let someone in."
After He Cong came in, even Shen Fu couldn't help but be surprised.
After not seeing him for just a few days, Doctor He seemed like a different person.
He became thinner and thinner.
He was wearing a loose gown, which was empty inside. That handsome face had dark circles under his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked much more haggard.
"Doctor He..." Shen Fu looked up and down at He Cong's body.
"What happened to you?"
He Congyu was standing in the hall. When he heard Shen Fu's words, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Shen Fu.
There was an indescribable emotion in those eyes.
He looked at Shen Fu deeply for a long time, and then looked around: "Your Majesty, I have something to say to you alone."
Shen Fuyi glanced around and saw that apart from Xiao Guizi and Zi Suyi, there were only a group of palace maids left.
She looked at He Cong's eyes in front of her, Shen Fu frowned and thought for a while, then winked at Xiao Guizi.
: "All out."
Xiao Guizi waved her hand and pointed out everyone in the room.
When only Xiao Guizi and Zi Su were left in the room, Shen Fu said to He Cong, "Go ahead."
She sat on the chair, lowered her head and held the teacup: "Zi Su and Xiao Gui Zi are not outsiders."
