Gu Yu didn't know about Fu Jinming asking her father to see her off at the court, she didn't know until the palace servants came back to report.
"Queen Dowager, this is a great honor." The palace servants at the side said enviously.
Gu Yu glanced at her indifferently, and told the man to lower his head. These palace servants were all sent by Fu Jinming, so naturally they would speak for him.
She paused slightly with her fingertips, and looked away from the courtyard.
Fu Jinming's retreating and retreating attitude really made Gu Yu a little puzzled. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was honoring the Gu family when he sent General Gu to see off his relatives, but this is not the case in the original book.
With Fu Jinming's temperament, and the fact that he knelt down in public last night, no matter what, he shouldn't have such an attitude.
Gu Yu couldn't figure it out, but felt that the current plot was slightly unexpected. As soon as she frowned, she heard a servant come to report: "Queen Mother, King Mobei is here."
Putting down the fish food in her hand, Gu Yu didn't know whether to let him in or not.
Xie Xiao's proposal was still in her ears last night, and she knew that she would definitely not agree to it. If we meet again at this time... Gu Yu was hesitating in her heart, when she saw that the palace people in the courtyard had lowered their heads, and the man in the vermilion official robe had already left Come in.
"Chen Xie Xiao, see the Queen Mother."
When he saw Gu Yu, he bent down and saluted, but his voice was the same as before. Gu Yu paused in her heart, but when she turned her head, she happened to meet the smile in Xie Xiao's eyes when he raised his eyes.
At this point, it was impossible for Gu Yu to ask him to kneel all the time, so he withdrew his eyes and said lightly, "Mobei King, get up."
Xie Xiao was keenly aware that Gu Yu seemed to be in a bad mood today. He glanced at the palace people around him, and found that the personal female officer who had been serving Gu Yu before seemed to have disappeared, and the entire palace wall was replaced by unfamiliar faces.
With just one glance, Xie Xiao understood what happened. It was almost noon, but those palace people were not seen. In this deep palace, there was only one possibility—to be punished.
These people have served the Empress Dowager for many years, and the Empress Dowager has no reason to punish them, the only possible one is Your Majesty.
Is it because of the fact that Gu Yu went out of the palace to meet him last night
Thinking of this, Xie Xiao also had some thoughts about His Majesty's compromise with the Gu family in the court today. If it was because he offended the Queen Mother and made up for it today, it would make sense.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Gu Yu was thinking about something instead, so she couldn't help but ask lightly: "What is the king of Mobei here today?"
The beauty standing under the pear tree has cold eyes and brows, and her voice is like a spring of ice when she speaks, it's clear and pleasant. Looking at it like this, it looks like a Gushe Immortal who is aloof.
His eyes paused for a moment, and when he saw Gu Yu's cold face, he restrained his smile and said, "Don't blame the queen mother, I went to the library today and passed by the garden by chance, and remembered that I haven't seen the queen mother for a long time, so I came to visit."
The righteous words he said made Gu Yu's mouth twitch when she thought about how she secretly went out of the palace to meet him last night. I feel that the king of Mobei is quite capable of telling nonsense with his eyes open.
But these things are not known to the palace people.
Although they said that they came to serve the Queen Mother, they seemed to be watching. After hearing what King Mobei said, they couldn't help but be a little bit cautious.
The absence of the closest Ah Xi made Gu Yu somewhat boring.
Seeing all the goldfish in the fish pond dive back into the water, she stretched out her hand and waved away the maid standing beside her.
The courtyard was quiet. Although the leading female officer hesitated, she paused after seeing Gu Yu's cold gaze, and leaned over to leave.
"The empress dowager can call the servant girl if there is something to do."
She poured two cups of tea and put them in the gazebo, bent down and left.
It wasn't until all the maids retreated that Gu Yu said calmly: "Since the king of Mobei is here to visit the palace, and since people have seen it, he can retreat."
She didn't seem to want to be alone with him at all, but Xie Xiao knew that compared with those palace people who came to watch, she had a good impression on Gu Yu, otherwise she wouldn't have driven those palace people away just now.
He raised the corners of his lips, not afraid of the cold eyes, but looked directly into Gu Yu's eyes and said: "Although I have seen the queen mother, I have not shared my worries for the queen mother, so how can I leave?"
When he talked about sharing worries for Gu Yu, he meant something.
Gu Yu originally doubted the purpose of Xie Xiao's words by the river that day, but for some reason today, an idea popped into her mind.
Those words, this person may be sincere.
Gu Yu didn't expect that Xie Xiao did it because he liked her. She just thought that in the original book, although Xie Xiao has been hiding behind the scenes, judging from the series of things he did when he helped the heroine bring down the queen mother, It shows that he is not an unambitious person.
So, now he wants to fight for the world through himself? This is the most reasonable answer Gu Yu could come up with. After thinking about it several times in her heart, she knew that with the original owner's personality, after hearing these words, she would definitely want to try again. So he said: "My lord, do you know why I am worried?"
One person stood in the gazebo, while the other stood bowed, but he didn't look humble at all. On the contrary, there is a tenderness that makes people's heart skip a beat.
Gu Yu heard Xie Xiao say: "The queen mother is nothing more than suspecting that there is something wrong with this marriage. Xie Chengying may be His Majesty's person."
Gu Yu was a little surprised, this person really knew what he was thinking. She really felt that the marriage was very strange, and suspected that there was a trap in the trip to Mobei.
After all, this is a plot not in the original book, and Gu Yu was a little worried that something might go wrong. Unexpectedly, Xie Xiao saw it right away.
Seeing Gu Yu frowned slightly, Xie Xiao knew he had guessed right. With clear eyes, he took a step forward and said: "I know that the queen mother doesn't trust me at this time, so Xie Xiao is also willing to prove himself and go back to Mobei for the queen mother."
When the coldness in Gu Yu's eyes dissipated, Xie Xiao smiled: "The queen mother should know that this Mobei is Xie Xiao's Mobei, not Xie Chengying."
The words of marriage that day echoed in my ears again.
Gu Yu paused in her heart, and asked the system what to do now.
Mr. System thought about it and told her: "You might as well agree to him, this is just a small test about who is in charge of Mobei."
"Xie Xiao has fought for the Great Jin all his life, and hates collaborators and treacherous people the most. When the heroine presents the evidence when she sues the imperial court, then the verbal covenant between you and King Mobei will collapse on its own."
Gu Yu listened to his analysis and found it very reasonable. Since Xie Xiao can't be dismissed now, it's better to give him a sweet treat first.
So after Xie Xiao's words, Gu Yu's gaze paused, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Since the king of Mobei is so confident, then I will wait and see."
Standing on the stage in plain clothes, she was not overbearing when she spoke, but it was like melting ice and snow in the bottom of people's hearts, which added some coldness for no reason.
Xie Xiao stared at her cold and beautiful eyes, and the smile in his eyes grew wider. He bent down and said: "Then please wait quietly, Queen Mother."
Gu Yu was noncommittal.
"I will rush back to Mobei tonight. This bamboo flute was carved by myself. It can call more than a thousand soldiers from Mobei in the minister's mansion in the capital. After I leave, please take it from the queen mother in case of accidents." Xie Xiao got up. After handing the bamboo flute to Gu Yu, he looked calm. Gu Yu glanced at him, paused in her heart, but still accepted it.
She never thanked her, just stood there with downcast eyes, which made people dare not look directly at her. Xie Xiao is not tired of this kind of arrogance, but thinks that Gu Yu's behavior is really touching.
The medicinal properties that had been suppressed all this time were rolling in his body, his heart was burning hot, and when Gu Yu put away the bamboo flute, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
In fact, this bamboo flute is not only able to command the Mobei army in the capital, but also a symbol of the Mobei princess. When the late emperor was there, he held up this flute and announced in the court that if someone could become the princess of Mobei in the future, he would give this flute to her.
The meaning of this flute is probably known to almost everyone except the queen mother who was outside the palace at the time.
