After eating a light but well-balanced nutritious meal, Li Qingcheng took the initiative to clear away the dishes and dimmed the lights in the ward.
"Would you like to rest now?"
She sat down on a small temporary bed in the ward, looked at Li Xi, and asked softly.
"not sleepy."
Li Xi shook her head, a smile appeared on her pale face, patted the place beside her, and said softly: "Come sit here, let's chat."
Her breath seemed to be weaker than when she had just woken up, but her spirit seemed to be pretty good. Her daughter, who had been worried for a long time, was brought back safely by Li Tianlan as quickly as possible. Gu Xingyun used the Ten Jue Sword Formation as the foundation to follow Li Tianlan The fight was a complete defeat, and the tense mental state that had been tense for many years seemed to relax suddenly. In the afternoon, Li Xi had a fever. After taking medicine, her body temperature dropped a little, and her whole body seemed to be moving toward a real person. It began to slowly change, and gradually got rid of the state that although it looked beautiful, it was lifeless and like a puppet.
"oh."
Li Qingcheng nodded, walked over, picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Xi. When she took it, she reached out her little hand and touched Li Xi's forehead, and said with a hum, "The temperature is now normal. "
"yes."
Li Xi held the cup and looked at her daughter seriously. After an unknown amount of time, she smiled to herself.
An extremely ironic fact was clearly placed in front of the mother and daughter.
They are biological mother and daughter.
Li Qingcheng is almost twenty years old this year.
but...
They are unfamiliar.
Really unfamiliar.
An extremely absurd but extremely cruel fact.
Li Xi rarely sees Li Qingcheng on weekdays. Although mother and daughter are both in Kunlun City, they are strictly controlled by Gu Xingyun most of the time. In the few meetings, Li Xi is like a walking zombie in her daughter's heart. There are not many specific images. On the contrary, under the psychological suggestion, Gu Xingyun is closer to Li Xi's heart. Although Gu Xingyun is not a good father at all, at least his sense of existence is that of Li Xi. many times.
So without Gu Xingyun at this time, when facing her daughter alone, Li Xi obviously had a lot to say, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
"We will go to Tiannan tomorrow. Will we settle in Xuanyuan City from now on?"
Li Qingcheng carefully cut open an apple and spoke proactively.
Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly: "You don't like it?"
Li Qingcheng took a small bite of the apple, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes that always seemed very calm. After a long while, she shook her head and said softly: "I don't know either."
She had left Kunlun City for less than a day, and she simply couldn't adapt to the life where she didn't know what to do now. She had no nostalgia for Kunlun City and Gu Xingyun, but she didn't have any resentment either. She suddenly left that place and came to When she came to her mother, who was somewhat strange but had never been far away from her, what she felt in her heart was pure discomfort.
"Then you can think about it."
Li Xi stretched out her hand and carefully stroked her daughter's silky hair. Her voice was distant and clear, as gentle as the wind: "To be precise, I am going to Tiannan tomorrow, and I am the one who will settle in Xuanyuan City. If you don't like it there, , just tell your brother-in-law... um... tell His Majesty Donghuang that you can stay in Youzhou, go to Huating, go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or go abroad. It doesn't matter if you don't want to listen to his arrangements, I can give you one With the money, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want.”
Carefully, she held the woman in her arms.
It was the first time in years since she was a baby that she had done this.
Feeling Li Qingcheng's stiff body, Li Xi's body trembled slightly: "Qingcheng, I am not a good mother. This is a fact. I am not even qualified to be a mother. Over the years, I have been sorry for you, all mothers. I can give you what I can
I have never given it to you, but at least now... I can give you the most important thing, and it is also what I have been looking forward to for many years. "
She hugged her daughter hard and whispered: "You are free, truly free. From now on, no one will restrain you. You don't have to forgive me, or even leave me and never come back, but... . You are free. Even Li Tianlan will not force you to do anything or go anywhere. I am the only one who has settled in Xuanyuan City, so you can refuse."
"oh."
After a long time, quietly, she nodded in Li Xi's arms and said softly: "I don't know where to go. I'll go to Xuanyuan City with you."
Li Xi nodded vigorously, feeling so excited that she was speechless for a moment.
"I heard that Xuanyuan City is very beautiful. If we go there, we should be able to get a nice house, right?"
Li Qingcheng straightened up from Li Xi's arms and laughed softly.
"certainly."
Li Xi said softly: "You can choose every place in Xuanyuan City."
She said this with great confidence.
She has decided to join the East Palace. She was not coerced or given a gift, but joined the East Palace voluntarily. Now that she has not recovered from her serious injury, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to return to her true peak invincibility. But as long as she has time, she She can completely recover to a state that is infinitely close to the peak invincibility. In this case, even if her body has not recovered for the time being, she will definitely become the third deputy palace owner of the East Palace when she enters the East Palace. Some treatment issues will not matter at all. She needs to worry about it.
Li Qingcheng, whose thoughts were a little confused, nodded and glanced at everything in the room absentmindedly.
She suddenly raised the apple in her hand: "It's very sweet, do you want it?"
Li Xi looked at her steadily and shook his head slightly.
"Then... let's rest."
Li Qingcheng said.
"Not urgent."
Li Xi said softly: "I just received a call from the saint. A special guest is coming."
"Special guests?"
Li Qingcheng blinked: "Are you here to visit you?"
"The rhetoric he used was that he really came to visit me."
Li Xi said thoughtfully: "But the most important purpose should be for you."
Li Qingcheng frowned slightly: "Who is it?"
The knock on the door sounded slowly and clearly before Li Xi could answer.
Li Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, sat up straight, and said in a loud voice: "Please come in."
The door was slowly pushed open.
Jiang Shangyu walked in with a calm face.
Li Qingcheng's red mouth opened slightly, a little surprised.
She naturally knew Jiang Shangyu. Before he completely fell out with Kunlun City, Li Qingcheng had been in contact with Jiang Shangyu several times, and even played in Northern Xinjiang for a while. Gu Xingyun mentioned to her that he had met Jiang Shangyu several times. In addition, almost everyone said that Jiang Shangyu would become her husband in the future.
There was no willingness or reluctance, no like or dislike. Under the subtle psychological suggestion, Li Qingcheng just didn't object, that's all.
Just now...
What is he doing here
For yourself
Li Qingcheng's heart suddenly felt weird.
Jiang Shangyu smiled and nodded to Li Qingcheng, then bowed deeply to Li Xi and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Aunt Li Xi."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Xi nodded, showing no sign of the auntie and sincere bow.
"Actually, I have always wanted to come and visit my aunt, but this nursing home has always been quite sensitive before."
Jiang Shangyu smiled softly and stood there without sitting down: "How is Auntie's health?"
"Not bad, let Mr. Jiang worry about it."
Li Xi smiled: "Please sit down and eat some fruit."
"Thank you, aunt."
Jiang Shangyu nodded politely, took out a small box that didn't look very inconspicuous, and said with a smile: "The Jiang family doesn't have any recovery medicines, but the northern Xinjiang is vast and rich in resources, and we have collected some rare medicinal materials. I drank some, this is desert blood from Northern Xinjiang, it should be helpful to my aunt’s physical recovery.”
Desert blood!
Not only Li Xi and her daughter, but also the saints guarding outside the ward raised their eyebrows sharply.
This is one of the most precious medicinal materials in Northern Xinjiang. It is an extremely rare plant. It is also one of the main ingredients of some of the top healing potions. Not to mention other things, even a piece of desert blood can be regarded as a holy medicine for healing. It will be of great benefit to Li Xi's physical recovery. Although the box in Jiang Shangyu's hand is inconspicuous, if it is handed over to the hands of a force like the Beihai Wang family that masters unique genetic medicine technology, it can be completely It's easy to exchange for a luxury sports car, which is definitely a great gift.
"This gift is too heavy."
Li Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and shook her head: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your kindness. It's just desert blood, not..."
"This is my intention as a junior."
Jiang Shangyu chuckled softly, with persistence in his voice: "No matter what, I hope Auntie can accept it."
Li Xi pondered for a moment, glanced at Li Qingcheng, and nodded: "In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shangyu waved his hand casually and sat down on the chair.
"Master Jiang came here today not just to check on my injury, right?"
Li Xi took the box and asked calmly.
"There is indeed one more thing I want to discuss with Auntie."
Jiang Shangyu got straight to the point. He came a little late today, and this time was not suitable for staying too long.
"you say."
Li Xi looked at him politely.
"It's about Qingcheng."
Jiang Shangyu hesitated slightly and said it directly, his face serious and sincere: "Auntie, if possible, I want to take Qingcheng out of Youzhou."
"Um?"
Li Qingcheng frowned slightly and glanced at Jiang Shangyu, feeling a little confused.
"Sorry, can not."
No hesitation, no surprise, not even asking why.
Li Xi gave his answer directly.
Can't.
Simple and direct, leaving no room for error.
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a moment, looked at Li Qingcheng, and said in a low voice, "Can I ask why?"
"Because it can't be."
Li Xi's voice was very soft, but the content was extremely strong.
Jiang Shangyu paused and fell silent.
His request may have been a bit abrupt.
But before coming, he really didn't expect Li Xi to be so tough.
This made it clear that he didn't want to talk more about this topic at all.
There is no reason why not.
If you must ask.
That's just not possible.
Jiang Shangyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xi quietly.
Under the soft light, his gentle eyes that had always been smiling inadvertently gained a touch of fierce aggression.
Li Xi also looked at him quietly without saying a word.
"if... "
Jiang Shangyu suddenly laughed: "I mean, what if, aunt, I must take Qingcheng away?"
His voice was very slow, but every word seemed to have a full sense of oppression.
"Then you'll die."
A calm voice suddenly sounded.
The space in the ward suddenly fluctuated.
Silently, a faint sword energy condensed in the room, and eventually turned into a projection of Li Tianlan's sword energy.
He directly answered the question for Li Xi: "Die here."
