Chapter 265 There is no pity.
Guo Tao had gone to see Yun Zhao before.
Thinking about how much Xie Jingmo had done, Yun Zhao should have felt a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhao's expression remained indifferent throughout.
He actually said: I didn't ask him to do these things for me.
Is this what a human being would say?
Is this what lovers would say in their hearts?
He now completely understood that people like Yun Zhao were passionate when they loved, and resolute when they didn't love.
The previous palace coup that abandoned Mu Chengyan and chose to stand with Xie Jingmo had nothing to do with friendship.
Now Yun Zhao is in a high position, and Xie Jingmo is in a humble position. Let alone liking him, even if he treats him as a plaything, it depends on whether Yun Zhao likes Xie Jingmo.
Guo Tao thought about this matter very clearly. With his many years of savings, it would not be difficult for him to support Guo Aiai and Xie Jingmo in wealth for ten lifetimes.
Don't let Xie Jingmo waste time here and have to look at other people's faces.
Yun Zhao is still young and has taken good care of herself. She looks like a little girl and may even live for a hundred years. If Xie Jingmo continues to stay in the capital, he will have a lot of hard times.
"Jing Mo, you don't have to answer me right away. I've already resigned from the court. I'm sure there will be news in the next few days. I have things to sort out in the mansion, and it will probably take until after the New Year to finish everything. During this time, you should think about it carefully. When you've made up your mind, come find me. There will always be a room for you in my uncle's courtyard in Fujian."
Xie Jingmo was very touched.
In the past, he was indifferent to family affection, but now that he only has this uncle who is kind to him by his side, he suddenly sees everything clearly.
Therefore, I understand why Yun Zhao always regarded his family as his only untouchable bottom line.
Guo Tao left after he finished speaking, and before leaving, he said something.
"I know you have someone in your heart. You can't marry Ai Ai in this life. Ai Ai is my child. I hope she is well. You are also my child. I hope you can be well too. Jing Mo, Ai Ai will never get married in this life. I hope you can marry Mei in the future. The original agreement is over. Uncle still hopes that you can put the past aside, find a good wife, and live a good life."
After Guo Tao finished speaking, he walked away.
Xie Jingmo watched Guo Tao walk out and understood how difficult it was for Guo Tao to make this decision.
Just like he said, Ai Ai is his child. Uncle has lived a carefree life, and the only thing that is not satisfactory is his daughter Ai Ai's marriage.
Now, for his own sake, he has let go of this obsession.
Xie Jingmo's eyes were sore, and he whispered softly, "Uncle, I'm sorry."
There are many difficult things in the world, and love is something that cannot be controlled.
A few days later.
Guo Tao's resignation request was approved.
As a veteran of three dynasties, Yun Zhao treated Guo Aiai with respect and a bunch of rewards. He also gave her an official title. He originally wanted to give her a princess. The general idea was that after Guo Tao died in the future, Guo Aiai would be raised in the palace as a thank you for his help when he was in the palace.
But Guo Tao didn't want it.
When no one was around, he knelt in front of Yun Zhao and whispered, "Jing Mo is paranoid and stubborn. If the Empress Dowager is grateful for the kindness of this old minister, and if he doubts staying in the capital, please take care of him. He has no one in the capital who truly plots for him."
Guo Tao did this without letting anyone know, except Yun Zhao and Fu Hai, the empress dowager who was by Yun Zhao's side.
After saying that, he left.
Fu Hai sighed beside him, "Uncle is sincere for doing this."
Guo Tao is using Guo Ai'ai's future wealth to ask Yun Zhao for forgiveness for Xie Jingmo.
Guo Tao didn’t know whether what he did would be effective or not, but he did it anyway.
After the resignation was finalized, Guo Tao began to prepare to return to Fujian.
He pleaded with Yun Zhao, but that didn't stop Guo Tao from helping Xie Jingmo prepare things for his return home.
Xie Jingmo often came to the Guo residence and heard Guo Tao nagging and ordering his subordinates, "This bed and quilt are made of silk. Ai Ai has to prepare a set for Jingmo as well. He is used to being spoiled. Don't let him suffer any loss."
In Guo Tao's eyes, Xie Jingmo deserves the best.
Xie Jingmo didn't say anything, just sat in the pavilion and looked towards the Forbidden City from afar.
Deputy Gao came over, tilted his head to look at him, and asked, "Have you decided to leave?"
Xie Jingmo didn't say anything.
Deputy General Gao: "If you leave, you'll truly admit defeat. Although I don't think Yun Zhao is likely to forgive you, but—do you want someone to admit defeat?"
Xie Jingmo's eyes were a little dazed. He turned to look at Deputy General Gao. After a long while, he said softly and helplessly, "In fact, I lost a long time ago."
But he didn't know it at the time.
Perhaps before Mu Chengyan appeared, when she was cruel to Yun Zhao, she had already withdrawn her heart from him little by little.
only--
He doesn't know.
Deputy General Gao sighed, "So you mean you want to leave?"
Xie Jingmo said: "She doesn't need me."
The dignified empress dowager is adorned with splendor.
He seemed to be of no use here except to become her dark history.
After he left, she became the most glamorous and respectable empress dowager.
"She doesn't care about that."
"Otherwise, why would she promote me? And why would she promote a general from the former frontier? For her, there is no so-called black history. Don't think that way."
Xie Jingmo lowered his eyes, "Yes, she is more open than me."
Because I don't care about the past, I am open and honest.
But he always stayed in the past, stayed in those seven years at the frontier, so he couldn't let go. No one knew that he was left in the past.
Deputy General Gao sighed, "But I think you can't do anything if you go back to Fujian. Why don't you come to the military camp?"
Vice Admiral Gao used to dislike Xie Jingmo's decisiveness towards Yun Zhao, but now, he finally softened his heart.
He didn't want Xie Jingmo to rot like a dead tree. "There's a war in the northwest. I want to go. Will you come with me? How about it? You'll be the general, and I'll be your deputy. We'll be invincible..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingmo turned around and looked at Deputy General Gao.
"You are now the Queen Mother's sword-bearing guard, and you will definitely be promoted in the future. You have a wife and children at home, so why are you going to the northwest? There is no need for you to take risks."
This is the truth.
"Ah—a real man always has the world in his heart. Besides, with you here, what danger can there be?"
Xie Jingmo knew that Deputy General Gao asked to go to the northwest for himself.
He wished he had something to do.
Have expectations.
So even if I have to give up many things in the capital, I have nothing to fear.
He smiled and patted Deputy General Gao on the shoulder. "Thank you. Let me think about it."
Deputy General Gao waved his hand. "What are you thinking? I'll tell Yun Zhao that we can go to the northwest together. Don't worry, I'm here with you. We'll definitely win the battle! Isn't Yun Zhao a hard-hearted person? Let's conquer her and force her to soften her heart."
Xie Jingmo listened to this and remained silent for a long time.
A long time later.
He then said in a low voice, "Is it okay?"
Deputy General Gao didn't expect Xie Jingmo to take it seriously, and his voice paused.
"ah?"
Xie Jingmo understood Deputy General Gao's surprise, but he still thought seriously about the possibility of this matter.
Even if it is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or the abyss of hell.
If there is a slight possibility, Xie Jingmo still thinks that he would risk his life for a chance.
There is no pity.
Pitiful……
OK.
