Chapter 286 I’m Afraid the Queen Mother Will Not Let Me Go
That day.
An imperial decree came from the palace, conferring the title of Loyal and Brave Protector of the Country on Guo Tao.
This honor is unique among the three generations of veterans.
It's the greatest respect we can give.
Guo Tao has no children, and there are many regulations. Guo Aiai knows nothing, so Xie Jingmo takes care of everything.
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to be sad.
When everything was finally settled, the entire Guo Xiang Mansion became completely quiet.
Xie Jingmo finally had time to sit down and rest.
In front of the hall was Guo Tao's seat. A good man eventually turned into a handful of dirt.
He sat on the ground, holding a wine jug in his hand, poured himself a glass, and then Guo Tao poured him another glass.
"Uncle, you used to say I didn't have time to drink with you, that I was always busy with my romantic affairs. Now that I think about it, I should also say sorry. It was my willfulness that neglected you a lot."
Xie Jingmo was drinking wine, and the wind outside was blowing the bamboo leaves in the yard, making a rustling sound.
The night was getting deeper.
Xie Jingmo leaned sleepily against the wooden stake and closed his eyes.
suddenly.
There was a gust of wind outside.
Xie Jingmo was woken up by the cold. He opened his eyes and suddenly felt very tired for some reason.
He stood up and went to the palace.
When someone outside stopped him, he waited at the door. Later, someone came in and hurriedly informed Fu Hai that he was here to pick him up.
Xie Jingmo thanked Fu Hai, and Fu Hai led his men through the long palace and came to the door of Yun Zhao's palace.
Fu Hai didn't go in again, and Xie Jingmo walked in.
In the yard, it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao, who was standing on the steps in plain clothes.
He stood there for a long time before he laughed miserably.
He asked Yun Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, I have no relatives left."
"You once said this to me."
“I didn’t understand it at the time.”
"Now, I understand the sadness behind it, but I still owe you an apology."
"In the past, I was the one who let you down, really, really..."
"Feel sorry."
In the past, he was the most unruly and noble young man in the capital. His relatives were indifferent to him and he hardly cared about them.
He didn't understand, he just liked a woman.
He doesn't need to worry about the woman's other family members.
Because he simply liked that woman.
Now, he has experienced this heart-wrenching pain again, and he deeply understands Yun Zhao's pain.
Every time he understood it, his heart ached.
He didn't know how to face her, but he still wanted to come.
Come and see her.
Even just a glance.
Yun Zhao stood on the steps, looking at Xie Jingmo below, who seemed like he could be destroyed by just a few words.
She had imagined it.
I want Xie Jingmo to be doomed.
Let her go through all her pain.
Let Xie Jingmo pay back double for everything he wants.
This is the most satisfying way.
In this way, she finally found an outlet for the suffering she had endured in the past.
But today, when this moment finally came, she didn't feel the relief she had imagined.
Instead, she felt sad.
I also feel sad for Xie Jingmo.
She was in mixed emotions, staring at Xie Jingmo across dozens of steps.
It was as if that good-looking man from the frontier had traveled through time and space, appeared before her, and finally said to her sincerely, "Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry."
Yun Zhao moved his lips and wanted to speak.
A gust of wind blew.
Xie Jingmo's body leaned back unconsciously, and finally, in Yun Zhao's astonished eyes, he fell to the ground.
Yun Zhao immediately called Fu Hai, helped the man into the house, and only after taking his pulse did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm really tired. I probably haven't slept in days."
Fu Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That's good. I was scared to death."
Yun Zhao said to Fu Hai, "Go to the kitchen and make a bowl of ginseng soup. Drink it and take care of yourself. You'll be fine."
Fu Hai stepped back.
Yun Zhao sat quietly beside the bed.
She couldn't remember how long she had been at loggerheads with Xie Jingmo.
All she knew was that he was always frowning and he never seemed to understand her.
Yun Zhao looked at the dark circles under Xie Jingmo's eyes and the cracks on his lips and sighed deeply.
What’s past is past.
Xie Jingmo slept for three days and three nights.
Daqing was looking for someone outside and finally found Yun Zhao.
"Queen Dowager, now that Prime Minister Guo's funeral is over, it's time for Xie Jingmo to return with me."
Daqing was very anxious. She couldn't wait to take the person away. She always felt that if she didn't leave now, Xie Jingmo would never go with her in the future.
"You came to my place looking for someone?" Yun Zhao was reviewing memorials, his head lowered, his beautiful handwriting on the white paper. "Did you come to the wrong place?"
Da Qing looked at the young empress dowager in front of him, "Are you going to say again that you have never met Xie Jingmo?"
This time, Yun Zhao did not deny it.
She simply asked back in a calm but dignified tone, "Are you questioning me or doubting me?"
Daqing doesn't care about the relationship between Xie Jingmo and Yun Zhao.
She only knew that if she took the person away, Xie Jingmo would eventually soften his heart over time.
"I dare not, but I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not be willing to let me go."
Yun Zhao put his pen to paper. "Is that so? If I really can't bear to part with it, then you can't take it with you. I don't need to emphasize this point to you."
Da Qing frowned, "What does the Queen Mother mean? Are you saying that you can't bear to part with Xie Jingmo? Or are you tacitly agreeing that you were willing to part with him before, but you can't now?"
Daqing is not a fool.
But this is Yun Zhao's territory, so he chose to lie low.
Now she was a little impatient. She felt that Yun Zhao's attitude today seemed a little different from before.
She couldn't explain exactly what the difference was.
Yun Zhao was very calm and indifferent. She smiled and raised her head to meet Da Qing's angry eyes. "Xie Jingmo is a general of our dynasty. He is not a piece of pork on the chopping board. Whether he wants to go with you depends on his willingness and your ability."
Hearing this, Da Qing's face changed. "What do you mean?! You want to go back on your word? You know very well that if you ask Xie Jingmo himself, he won't agree to go with me!"
Yun Zhao raised an eyebrow. "Really? The female leader is so unsure of her own charm that she wants a man by force? I said, let Xie Jingmo go with you. It depends on your own ability. If he is willing, I have no objection."
Daqing nodded angrily, "Okay! You said that!"
"Queen Mother, I know you are sure about Xie Jingmo, but in this world, it is impossible for everything to go as one person wishes."
"I'm putting this here today. One day, you will definitely offer Xie Jingmo to me!"
After saying this, Daqing left angrily.
Yun Zhao raised his head, looked at Daqing's back, and slowly frowned.
Deputy General Gao walked in cheerfully, "Jing Mo, don't you have to leave? Yun Zhao, don't worry. If all else fails, we can fight the Xiongnu! There's no reason for a general to marry someone else. It would be a joke if anyone told anyone about it."
Yun Zhao's brows were still furrowed. "Have someone keep an eye on Da Qing. She must have some extraordinary qualities to stand out among the Xiongnu and become the female leader. Keep a close eye on her until they leave."
