Chapter 263 What are you going to do?
It took Xie Jingmo ten days to reach the destination, which was a journey of half a month.
He walked into the palace like a savage and handed the bamboo tube to Yun Zhao.
There were still raindrops on it. Yun Zhao raised his head and glanced at the bamboo tube. After taking it, he pulled out the letter. It was very dry inside, and every word on the white paper was clear.
Xie Jingmo looked at the faint smile on Yun Zhao's face, tightened his hands around his legs, then loosened them, turned around and walked out.
Deputy General Gao chased out, gave a thumbs up, and was about to speak when he was frightened by the tense expression on Xie Jingmo's face.
"You... don't look like someone's gone, do you?"
Xie Jingmo's eyes were a little red, and he didn't know if it was because he was tired or sad.
All I know is that his beard is as messy as when he was fighting at the frontier.
Deputy General Gao knew that Xie Jingmo was sad.
I send a letter to someone, hoping that she will be happy, but I still feel sad when I see that her happiness is not because of me.
"Why didn't you say you were sad just now? You look like a wild man. If you say a few words to show your sympathy, maybe she will soften her heart."
Xie Jingmo pursed his lips. He knew very well that if Yun Zhao would be soft-hearted, he would do anything he could, but he knew.
Yun Zhao doesn't know.
He was sad and heartbroken, but he still said to Deputy General Gao in a self-torturing manner: "I will be the one to deliver your reply letters in the future."
Deputy General Gao didn't understand.
At first I thought Xie Jingmo was just joking, but he never slacked off in writing two letters a month.
After coming back, I will rest in the mansion.
Then he would go find Guo Aiai.
He couldn't actually do anything while accompanying Guo Ai Ai. He just watched Guo Ai Ai talking to herself, then took out some candies from his arms to make Ai Ai laugh.
One day during dinner, Ai Ai unconsciously said to Guo Tao, "Cousin Jing Mo is the best person to Ai Ai in the world."
Guo Tao was stunned.
After a moment, he said, "How about Ai Ai be your cousin's wife?"
Ai Ai didn't understand many things, but she understood what daughter-in-law meant, and she shook her head.
Guo Tao paused in surprise, "Why? Doesn't Ai Ai love cousin the most? As long as you become cousin's wife, you can give birth to cousin's children, and you can be with cousin forever."
Ai Ai hugged the pillow in her arms, her face serious, "You can't be my daughter-in-law. My cousin said that he has someone he really likes, so Ai Ai can't be my daughter-in-law. But he will take care of Ai Ai for the rest of her life."
Ai Ai said this and paused for a long time.
Just when Guo Tao thought Ai Ai would not speak again, Guo Ai Ai suddenly said: "My cousin looked very sad when he talked about the person he liked."
Guo Tao went to find Xie Jingmo that day.
At that time, Xie Jingmo was about to deliver a letter.
Xie Jingmo took out the small lucky bag from his arms and handed it to Guo Tao.
"A few days ago, I went to the temple with my second aunt, and she insisted on giving it to me, saying it would bless me with good health. There were some candied dates inside. Ai Ai likes it, so uncle, please give it back to her."
Guo Tao looked down at the lucky bag in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.
He was not completely blind to how good Xie Jingmo was to Ai Ai these days.
He accepted Fu Hai and gave Xie Jingmo a way out.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard, and when Guo Tao turned around again, he could no longer see anyone.
On the day Xie Jingmo came back, the situation outside was very serious. Xie Jingmo handed the reply letter to Yun Zhao.
Deputy General Gao asked, "Aren't you going in?"
Xie Jingmo said, "Well, I'm too hot to go in. I passed by Fujian and bought some bayberries. They tasted good, but now they've gone bad."
When Xie Jingmo said this, sadness overflowed from his eyes.
It's like saying.
My relationship with Yun Zhao has been ruined and can never be repaired.
Deputy General Gao was stunned, but Xie Jingmo had already turned around, waved his hand, and walked away in the scorching sun, feeling hot all over.
Xie Jingmo rarely entered the inner hall afterwards.
Deputy General Gao asked, why?
I clearly wanted to see you so much, but I sent letters back and forth, spending a month on the road, and only managed to see you once or twice.
The mountains and rivers are difficult, and they need a little sweetness to comfort them.
Xie Jingmo just smiled, took the letter and left.
At first I was afraid to see him, and then I became more and more afraid.
He would think a lot on the way back and forth. He didn't have the face to see Yun Zhao, so he could only say sorry in front of Yun Zhao's parents every time he went to Liziguai.
He failed to protect Yun Zhao.
He also didn't take away the person Yun Zhao cared about.
Not one.
The journey was long, so he would always bring back some delicious food, and occasionally take a detour to fulfill his own selfish desires.
He always wondered if Yun Zhao would feel more forgiving when he ate these things.
Will you smile?
He went around a long way to pick sour plums for Yun Zhao, and fell from a tree, breaking his leg. Deputy General Gao didn't find out about it until much later, but he said it was no big deal.
Just ask Yun Zhao if he likes the sour plums?
Deputy General Gao couldn't bear it, and all the hope on Xie Jingmo's face was shattered in a second.
"She... doesn't want to eat what I brought, does she?"
"She... thinks it's dirty?"
Deputy General Gao felt that Xie Jingmo's voice was shaking when he said these three words.
Later, Xie Jingmo still brought back some delicious food, but he never asked Yun Zhao if he had eaten it. He was obsessed with bringing back some good food.
But later on, I didn’t dare to bring it.
Because once, Xie Jingmo was passing by the corridor and heard the eunuchs and palace maids whispering in the corridor: "People who are too self-indulgent are annoying. Doesn't General Xie have any self-awareness? Every time he sends something, the Empress Dowager doesn't eat it, and always asks Eunuch Fu Hai to deal with it. Doesn't General Xie find this annoying?"
After that, Xie Jingmo no longer brought back delicious food.
It’s not that you can’t.
I don’t dare anymore.
He was deeply afraid that he would become the one who troubled him again.
Once, there was a mudslide on the way back to the city and a big rock hit his head. Xie Jingmo came back feeling drowsy.
He and Guo Aiai were under the pavilion.
Guo Ai Ai turned around and pointed at Xie Jingmo's head in horror, "Blood, bleeding! Cousin, blood!"
Guo Aiai was frightened and fainted.
Xie Jingmo didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the imperial physician said that Guo Aiai was fine. When Guo Tao came, Xie Jingmo's face was covered in blood. Guo Tao was furious and scolded the people in the mansion for being blind. He shouted for them to come and deal with it quickly.
Xie Jingmo just waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
When he fainted from exhaustion, the imperial physician discovered that the big stone had not only hit his head, but also his chest. The wound on his chest was hastily treated by Xie Jingmo himself, and it looked horrifying.
Because of this injury, Xie Jingmo was unable to deliver the letter.
He just sat in the yard, basking in the sun, for a long time.
Guo Tao couldn't help but worry, so he asked Deputy General Gao to come and take a look.
Deputy General Gao sighed, "What exactly are you going to do?"
Xie Jingmo turned to Deputy General Gao and said, "Let me deliver the letter. The chestnuts are almost ripe, and I have to go pick some for her."
