Guan Tong said: "I don't have a birthmark on my back."
The hag watched her silently without speaking.
Guan Tong thought she didn't believe it: "Ghost, I really don't have a birthmark on my back."
Wu Xi also said: "I took a bath with my mother when I was a child. There are no birthmarks on her back, only five small red moles on the side of her waist."
The hag's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she quickly lowered her eyelids, so that no one could see what she was thinking.
Wu Ruo sighed: "Ghost, have you heard? Can you give up now?"
The hag quickly turned around and left Guan Tong's room.
"The hag looks sad," Ushi said.
Wu Ruo said: "I'll send the hag back."
He walked out of the room and silently stayed behind the hag, listening to her covering her mouth and crying, seemingly sad but also happy.
happy? Wu Ruo frowned. The hag was clearly crying, how could he think she was happy? I really thought too much.
Wu Ruo accompanied the hag back to the room, and after a few words of comfort, she turned back to Wuzhu's room.
Wu Zhu asked with concern: "How is the ghost?"
Wu Ruo untied the robe on her body, and said, "She probably wants to take advantage of sister-in-law and Jixi's absence from the mansion, and then peek at mother changing clothes when father is injured again. I don't think I will rush over overnight to see mother and take her away." Catch it right now, people are crying all the time."
"She was able to escape from You Ye's eyes last time, which means that her spiritual level is not low."
"Well, she admitted to me just now that her spiritual power has reached the ninth level."
Wu Zhu was surprised but not at ease and said: "She really just wants to see if there is a birthmark on Mother's back?"
Wu Ruo paused: "It should be, otherwise, I really can't figure out why an old woman would peek at another woman changing clothes and taking a bath. If she is really bad for us, it's not as simple as peeking." .”
Wuzhu thinks about it too.
Early the next morning, when the two brothers went to the hall for dinner, they saw Guan Tong looking at them with an indescribable face.
Wu Ruo asked: "Mother, do you have something to tell us?"
Guan Tong opened his mouth, and finally shook his head.
At this time, Wu Xi and the hag also came to the hall.
Since Wu Qianqing was injured and was still resting in the room, the witch directly picked up food for Guan Tong in Wu Qianqing's place, but she didn't eat a few bites herself.
Wu Ruo, Wu Zhu, and Wu Xi stared blankly, Guan Tong looked helpless, advised the hag not to listen, and let her go.
After breakfast, Guan Tong took advantage of the hag's absence and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the hag? She was waiting outside my door early in the morning with water. When I came together, I dressed and washed, and combed my hair and thrush."
Wu Xi said: "No wonder my mother's hair style is different from before, and it looks pretty."
"Really?" Guan Tong smiled and caressed her hair. She also liked the hag's hairstyle for her, which made her look very young.
Wu Ruo and Wu Zhu looked at each other: "I think the witch was overly sad after confirming that you were not a niece, so she took you as his niece for the time being."
"That's it..." Guan Tong felt that the hag was quite pitiful: "Then leave her alone, and she won't do these things again when she realizes the facts."
Soon, Hei Xuanyi sent someone to deliver the wound medicine, and Hei Xuantang also sent someone to deliver a lot of supplements.
Wu Ruo was about to go back to the palace after making sure that his father's injuries were not serious, but was stopped by the ghost woman when she walked out of the courtyard.
"Ah..." The ghost pointed to her throat, and then took out a piece of paper to show Wu Ruo, which read: Xiao Ruo, can you heal my throat
Wu Ruo froze for a moment, wondering why she suddenly wanted to treat her throat: "Only treat the throat but not the face?"
The hag froze for a moment, pointed to her face, and then waved her hand to show that she was dead.
Wu Ruo took her to the pavilion and checked her throat: "There is nothing wrong with your throat."
The hag wrote strokes on the table with her index finger: "But, my throat was sunburned."
Wu Ruo asked, "When did you get sunburned?"
"More than forty years ago."
Wu Ruo raised her eyebrows: "It's been so many years, your injury has healed long ago, not to mention the recovery ability of Shulibi is stronger than ordinary people."
"Then why can't I speak?"
Wu Ruo thought for a while and said, "When you were injured, did you not find someone to treat you? So, you thought you were dumb?"
The hag nodded.
"You don't open your mouth to communicate with others later on, and after a long time, you will lose your language ability, but it doesn't matter, you will practice speaking more in the future."
Take the medicine I rationed for you again, and I believe you will be able to speak soon.
"Thank you, Xiao Ruo."
Wu Ruo asked the servants to bring pens and paper, write down the prescription, and then took out the silver and asked the servants to buy the medicine.
After that, he left the palace and went to Wangyueju, put all the medicines he bought into the space, and then went to check out the room.
The shopkeeper asked while checking out: "Are you Mr. Qu?"
Wu Ruo looked at him: "What's the matter?"
The shopkeeper smiled respectfully and said, "A son named Shen Song left a message for you, saying that it was the second day of June, inviting you to have lunch at Lanshan Pavilion."
"Well, I'll be there then."
After paying the bill, Wu Ruo went back to the palace, passed by the official courtyard, and heard the laughter of women, one of which was the laughter of the empress.
Since the empress was in the yard, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know, so he went to greet the empress, but just before he left, the woman sitting next to the empress said angrily, "It's you."
Wu Ruo took a closer look, and it turned out that it was Princess Tianyao who wanted to snatch the little monster they bought that day.
The empress put away her smile, and said with a confused face: "Miaoyi, you..."
Princess Tianyao said angrily: "Auntie, it's him. He is the one who robbed the little monster I wanted to buy. Later, he smashed me with the iron cage that held the monster. Now my hand still hurts."
She held her wrist pitifully, hoping that the emperor would take pity on her, and then angrily said to Wu Ruo: "You scumbag, kneel down."
Empress: "..."
Wu Ruo ignored her and saluted the empress: "Xiao Ruo has seen the empress."
Only when there are outsiders around, he will call the empress the empress mother.
Princess Tianyao stared at Wu Ruo in shock.
Did she hear correctly
This man called her aunt the queen mother
who is he
How could my aunt suddenly have such a big son
Sitting aside, the handsome young man's eyes flashed with surprise, but he soon calmed down.
The empress smiled slightly: "I heard that your father was injured, but I don't know how serious the injury is."
"Thank you mother for your concern. My father just had a broken arm. It's not a serious problem. It will get better in a few days."
"That's good, then I can rest assured." The empress introduced to Wu Ruo: "Xiao Ruo, let me introduce to you, the girl sitting next to me is my niece named Miao Yi, and the girl sitting next to her The young master is his cousin Lou Qingluo, who is also the servant of the household department, and is currently working under Xuan Yi's command."
Wu Ruo and Lou Qingluo nodded their greetings.
Princess Tianyao immediately asked: "Auntie, who is he? Why did she call your mother queen?"
The empress smiled and said: "He is Xuan Yi's concubine, you should call him cousin when you see him in the future."
Lou Qingluo: "..."
Princess Tianyao suddenly seemed to have eaten shit, and her face was particularly ugly.
Wu Ruo smiled slightly: "Sister Miaoyi, please take care of me in the future."
Princess Tianyao said angrily: "Shameless, who is your cousin."
The empress lowered her face: "Miaoyi, what did you say?"
Princess Tianyao held her breath and did not speak.
The empress said to Wu Ruo gently: "Xiao Ruo, Miao Yi is still young, don't take offense."
"No, Queen Mother..."
The empress asked curiously: "What happened to the talk about robbing the little monster?"
Wu Ruo smiled and didn't explain, the empress is not his partner, so it's not easy to tell the truth, but if Princess Tianyao wronged him like this, which is not his current style, then smiling is the best way to express it. It will neither make people think that he is like a little girl who needs to seek justice and sue, nor will people think that he really robbed Tianyao princess little monster. A smart person will know what's going on just by looking at it.
Seeing that Wu Ruo didn't speak, the empress knew that it was her spoiled niece who did something wrong.
Princess Tianyao was worried that Wu Ruo would tell the truth, so she hurriedly said, "Auntie, he..."
The empress glanced at her and interrupted her: "Miaoyi, it should be the little monster you want to snatch from others, right?"
Princess Tianyao was stunned, guilt flashed in his eyes, he stomped his feet, pretended to be angry and said: "Auntie, I am the niece you watched and grew up with, how can you think of me like this?"
The empress shook her head and sighed, stood up and said, "Go back and think about it yourself, whether you have done anything wrong."
"Aunt..."
Princess Tianyao still wanted to say something, Lou Qingluo stood up and said: "Empress, Princess Tianyao will definitely think about and repent of the things she did wrong when she goes back, and the minister will also supervise her and ask her to write Send the letter of repentance to the empress."
While saying this, he gave Princess Tianyao a look, signaling her not to say any more.
At this time, a small figure ran into the compound: "Grandma, grandma."
When the empress heard the voice of her little grandson, she immediately smiled: "Eggy is here."
Eggy saw that Wu Ruo was there, her eyes brightened, she turned her head and threw herself on Wu Ruo's lap: "Daddy, you're back."
Wu Ruo smiled and picked up her son: "Did you come to grandma to eat again?"
Eggy nodded honestly.
Seeing that her grandson was so cute, the empress couldn't keep her mouth shut when she smiled.
Princess Tianyao looked at Eggy, rolled her eyes, and walked in front of Wu Ruo with a smile: "He is the son of the prince's cousin, right? He really looks like the prince's cousin, he was carved out of the same mold. Aunt, what's his name?"
The empress smiled and said, "Eggy."
Princess Tianyao stretched out her hand: "Eggy, little cousin, please give me a hug.
Eggy looked at Wu Ruo, and reached out to hug her when she got consent.
Princess Tianyao teased him and said, "How old is Eggy?"
Eggy replied; "Two years old."
This is what Wu Ruo taught him before.
Princess Tianyao glanced at Wu Ruo at the side, and asked, "Eggy, what did you call him just now?"
Eggy said excitedly: "Daddy.
Wu Ruo couldn't help smiling at her son.
"But, he is not your real father at all. Your father should be the prince's cousin, so you can't call him father, you understand?"
When the empress heard this, she suddenly darkened her face.
