Chapter 162 The Lady of the Constable's House (40)
The back garden of the palace!
"Your humble servant greets the Empress Xi."
"Master Guo, you just told His Majesty that the miracle doctor has been found, so I came here to ask."
Guo Jinlong said: "Everything is just my guess. As for the result, it is up to Your Majesty to make a conclusion. I naturally hope that Your Majesty is in good health."
"But I don't know how long I can wait. His Majesty is busy with state affairs right now, and the imperial doctors are helpless against my illness. Now I can only ask you for help."
"Don't worry, my lady. There will be a way out when you reach the mountain."
"You go down."
"Wei Chen retire."
After Guo Jinlong left, a woman's voice was heard: "Oh, Sister Xifei, this Lord Guo left so quickly."
"I've met the Queen."
"It's hard to find a miracle doctor, and it's also hard for Your Majesty to have children. All the officials are urging Your Majesty to expand his harem. After all, there are only four women in the harem. Your Majesty is wronged."
"Your Majesty only welcomed the newcomer into the palace for the sake of Marquis Anding. Your Majesty, please do not be angry."
"It is our fault that we cannot give birth to children for Your Majesty. We only hope that the new woman can bear a heir, so that our sins will be less."
Xie Lize, who was not far away, felt annoyed when he heard the jealous voices of those women, but if the issue of offspring was not resolved, he would be under even greater pressure.
The situation in the court has just stabilized. If he fails, dozens of women will be sent in at once, and the room will be full of ducks, which will make him even more annoyed!
"Your Majesty, are you going to see the Queen tonight?"
"I am very busy with government affairs. I will go back to review the memorials. Please ask Commander Ye Qi to come over."
"Here!"
In the Xuanzheng Hall, after the servants withdrew, Xie Lize immediately said: "Ye Qi, go to Guyu County in person to investigate Gu Yuxi and Xiao Zhuoxuan."
"Your Majesty, didn't the two of you investigate this a few years ago?"
"There may be some confusion here, especially Gu Yuxi's background. I want to know whether she is Gu Nianwen, the daughter of Marquis Anding."
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Anding is a lonely man. If he has a son..."
"I just need to know the result. After all, there has been no trace of that miracle doctor, except for his appearances in Pingxiang County and Guyu County. Gu Yuxi has experience in treating neighbors and detoxifying Minister Gu and others."
"Ye Qi understands. Your Majesty suspects that the two never left, but just took a roundabout way to deceive us. Perhaps the quack doctor she was talking about was herself."
"There are disguise techniques in the martial arts world. Since that expert could change his face... No! That person was wearing perfume and powder, and had a petite figure. His real voice in Lanchunju was ethereal and crisp..."
The two looked at each other, and Ye Qi couldn't help but blurt out: "That expert is a woman!"
Xie Lize reminded: "Don't let the news leak out, or people will be scared away. Check it out immediately."
Now Xie Lize felt more and more that Gu Yuxi was the one who could easily kill him with a wave of his hand. The sound of the flower sellers in Pingxiang County was very similar to that sound.
"Gu Yuxi, if it is really you, I will admit defeat wholeheartedly. After all, I have always been a despicable and shameless villain in front of you."
The man gently stroked the Fragrant Concubine Camellia in front of him. The smell was still a little different, it was not the smell of that person.
Half a month later...
"My husband, you are back. Who is this?"
"My wife, this is Uncle Sanhe. We met a few years ago and we met again today. I invited him to stay at my home for a while." Xiao Zhuoxuan said to Gu Sanhe, "Uncle, this is my wife."
Gu Yuxi held his son in his arms, looked at the righteous old man, and said, "Hello, uncle, come in and sit down."
"Miss Gu, it's been a long time since we last met. Now I should call you my niece-in-law!"
"As you wish, we are the younger generation, and my husband and I have no relatives left. If you don't mind our small roof, you can stay as long as you want."
"I regard the world as my home. It is my honor that you two do not despise me."
Gu Sanhe looked at the courtyard, which was filled with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables, and was clean and tidy. The fragrance of lotus flowers wafted over it, and the courtyard gave people a sense of comfort and tranquility.
As for the family of three who picked pears, Gu Sanhe didn't know how to clarify their relationship. After all, the elder's confusion brought shame to the younger generations.
"My dear, I bought a fish from a hunter. Here is a piece of tofu. Please make another dish!"
"Give it to me. The pig's trotters in the pot are not cooked yet, so I'll make some while I'm at it."
Xiao Zhuoxuan went out with a pot of tea and started chatting with Gu Sanhe: "Uncle, have some fruit and drink some tea. The meal will be ready soon."
"Zhuo Xuan, have you been okay these years?"
"Uncle, I have been doing well these years. That woman and I severed our mother-son relationship. I came to Guyu County to ask Yuan Xin for a job to make a living. I settled down here, got married and had children. I am very satisfied with my current life."
Gu Sanhe couldn't help but expose him: "Uncle has always felt that something was wrong with you. You are not the type to meddle in other people's business and help a girl fetch water. I never thought that you would have that idea."
Xiao Zhuoxuan changed the subject: "Uncle, this happened so long ago, please stop teasing me."
"Okay, I'm the one who talks too much. This little kid is pretty cute. Let me hold him. I'll teach him how to play darts in the future."
"Daddy!"
Xiao Zhuoxuan said to his son who was holding his arm tightly, "Ming'er, this grandfather can buy you some candy. Do you want to bribe him?"
"want!"
Gu Sanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This baby who was only about three years old was so materialistic and his personality was similar to his.
"You little brat! What's the name of this little grandson?"
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Sanhe's beard was pulled, and he could only hear the childish words: "It's not white, Daidai is white."
"Uncle, are you okay?"
"It's okay. This little kid is really brave."
"Xiao Yuming, Kunyu is confused, a name that is engraved in my heart and bones."
"What a nice name, Xiao Ming. Call me Grandpa and I'll buy you some candy."
"grandfather."
"Hey! My dear grandson."
Looking at the old and young who got along so well, Xiao Zhuoxuan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, when you left, you said you were going to look for an aunt. Have you found this aunt?"
"You are such a jerk, you are not able to find a wife, but it is not bad to be alone now."
"Uncle, as long as you don't mind, I will take care of you until the end of your life."
"You have such filial piety, but I don't know if I can bear it. After all, I will leave again in a few days."
"Then we have to have a good drink, otherwise we don't know when we will meet next time."
The smell of rice came from the kitchen, and Gu Sanhe held Xiao Yuming in his arms, took out a candy and handed it to the baby, then pretended to stroll in the yard.
When the time was almost up, he lifted up the clothes on Xiao Yuming's shoulders, and saw a red Gesang flower pattern on it. He felt a pang in his eyes.
"grandfather?"
"Uncle, it's time to eat."
Sitting at the dinner table, Gu Sanhe said to the woman holding the wine, "Niece-in-law, please sit down too."
"Uncle, this is the tea wine we brewed ourselves. You should have a good drink."
"it is good!"
Gu Sanhe stayed with Xiao Zhuoxuan and his family, and every day he went shopping, let his donkeys and horses run, and took his children for a walk.
