Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Chu Yan knew very little about Zhao Sansi, and he couldn't guess whether she had any other intentions in what she said. He turned his head and glanced at Gu Xizhao, and then smiled, "If you go back to the emperor, I will not go out this time. After I returned to the Taoist temple at the age of [-], I have been in the Taoist temple all the time."

Gu Xizhao frowned slightly, "After I left the Taoist temple, I realized that Master is a person who can't stay in the Taoist temple. Therefore, I have been blaming myself all these years, thinking that it was my disciple who delayed Master's travel to the world. long-cherished wish. Today I realize that the world has misunderstood Master."

Ah Zhao still had a rift with her.

Chu Yan sighed inwardly, and then tried to smile and said: "There is no truth that everyone can believe the words of the world. Besides, in the past, the body was sharp, and now I am old. Getting old is not only bad in the body, but also in the heart. There are too many, so naturally I won’t be as carefree as before.”

Zhao Sansi always felt that there was some change in the atmosphere between the two of them, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, but he still smiled and smoothed things over, "Master is still young, not old at all, and now he doesn't want to go away, I'm afraid I'm worried Empress, I am worried that I will treat her badly."

Chu Yan smiled sincerely this time, and looked at her straight in the eye, only to feel that her fair face was rare among men, and it was a bit too delicate, but if one looked at her thick eyebrows and big eyes, she would be surprised again. I think she is upright and a bit bold.After watching for a while, he said: "The emperor really knows how to joke."

"Since the master laughed, then the master will think that I am joking." Zhao Sansi smiled unabated, secretly glanced at Gu Xizhao, thought for a while, and then took a sip of the sour plum soup at hand, "Master, if you don't If you don't mind the complicated rules in the palace, you can stay for a while. The master and the queen haven't seen each other for more than half a year. You master and apprentice must have a lot of private things to say , I will accompany you soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yan immediately got up faster than her, "Your Majesty is very polite."

Zhao Sansi smiled, seeing that Gu Xizhao also stood up, and hurriedly said: "Both the master and the empress don't need to be polite."

Gu Xizhao got up and walked to her side, and helped her fiddle with the tassel pendant on her waist, "The emperor has a lot of things to do, and it's too hot this June, so let's have lunch at Chengqian Palace."

Zhao Sansi glanced at her and nodded, "Then I will listen to the queen."

The voice was muffled, and he was trying to save face.

Gu Xizhao smiled, "The concubine is for the emperor's good."

Zhao Sansi let out an "oh", then remembered that there was a master beside him, and quickly added seriously, "I know the Queen is doing it for my own good."

Gu Xizhao didn't answer, and waited for her to walk out before leading the palace servants to see her off respectfully.

It wasn't until the hem of Zhao Sansi's clothes disappeared into the shade outside that Gu Xizhao got up and returned to the original seat just now, and ordered Zhu'er to go out, so that Chan'er also went outside to wait.

As soon as Chu Yan saw this battle, he knew that Gu Xizhao must be aware of her reason for coming, and felt a little uneasy for no reason, "Azhao and the emperor have a really good relationship."

The corners of Gu Xizhao's lips twitched, "Master must not have come to the palace to say such things."

"I brought you up after all, so I naturally care about you..."

Gu Xizhao interrupted her, "If Master really cared about me, he wouldn't have let me turn into this vortex back then, making me unable to love, hate, and unable to control myself."

Chu Yan stopped talking.

When she didn't speak, Gu Xizhao had many doubts to ask her.Because of hearing so many shocking secrets suddenly before, her mind was muddled by surprise, but now her mind is clear, it's her turn.

"Master, you don't have to show me this way. You have raised me for more than ten years. I am destined to repay this kindness in my life. Although I don't want to accept my identity, this is the end of the matter, just like what Master said Well, I have no way out, I can only be a grasshopper on a rope with Master and Father."

Gu Xizhao spoke half-truths and half-falsely, looking at Taoist Master Yunsong calmly and deeply with willow eyes, "Although there is no repayment for the kindness of saving my life, the master who can teach me so many principles must not be able to be swayed by this kindness." The person chosen in life. Master, what is your relationship with my father?"

Chu Yan raised his head abruptly, his expression flustered, "I...I don't know what you are talking about?"

"Mo Huiwang is your son, right?"

With a "bang", Chu Yan knocked down the sour plum soup cup with his trembling hand.This alarm startled Chan'er who was outside, she quickly looked at the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"It's nothing, don't panic." Gu Xizhao replied to Chan'er loudly, but her eyes were still looking at Chu Yan, whose body had softened, "Is it the son of Master and my father? If so, my master is too serious about having a child." It's a bit cruel, even though the illegitimate child is..."

"No." Chu Yan completely collapsed, uncontrollably slid from the chair to the floor, opened his mouth, but finally just covered his face, and soon, tears and low sobs poured out from between his fingers come out.

Gu Xizhao looked at her for a moment, then lowered her eyes, got up and walked to her side, kneeling silently opposite her.

In the first half of her life, her master had treated her with a kindness that was as great as a mountain, and she would not be able to repay this kindness in this lifetime.If there were not so many involuntary things, she would always love her and protect her.

However, whoever told her to meet a little fool, whether she is called a white-eyed wolf or cold-blooded and heartless, for the little fool, everyone else in the world can bear it.

She knew that her words were like needles and salt in Master's heart for Master, but she still wanted to say it.

After a long time, Chu Yan took away his hand, as if suddenly remembering something, he reached out and pressed Gu Xizhao's shoulders, "What do you mean by that sentence just now? What do you mean by your father being cruel to children?"

Her master exerted all his strength, so many years of martial arts internal strength was on her shoulders, which made her a little overwhelmed, but she didn't show it at all, "Didn't father tell master that Mo Huiwang is dead?"

Chu Yan stared at her with red eyes, "What did you say?"

"Mo Huiwang is dead." Gu Xizhao supported her who was on the verge of falling, "I was killed by my father in the prison. Unfortunately, I didn't know that he was the son of the master, otherwise he would have saved the brother's life... ..."

Chu Yan completely lost strength, and it was thanks to Gu Xizhao pulling her that he didn't fall down on his back. His face was completely angry and fell into Gu Xizhao's arms, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Gu Xizhao sighed softly, Chu Yan didn't admit it personally, but judging by her reaction, the matter was not much different from what she expected. The secret guard's investigation was vague, and there was no direct evidence, so she also relied on guesswork.

After a long time, Gu Xizhao gently pushed her away, supported one of her shoulders with one hand, and wiped her face with a handkerchief in the other hand, "Master, why are you doing this? In my mind, you are like that." Why did such a bright and beautiful character dive into this muddy water for my father?"

Chu Yan rolled his eyes, and after a while, his out-of-focus eyes saw Gu Xizhao in front of him clearly, "Now, are you kidding me?"

Gu Xizhao shook her head, let her go, and stood up, "What qualifications do I have to watch Master joke? I just sympathize with Master, just like I sympathize with myself. I met the right person at the wrong time, or maybe the time was wrong. , people are also wrong. Master, I like the emperor very much, I like it very much... But, what's the use of that?"

Gu Xizhao laughed at herself, "She is the emperor of the Zhao royal family, and I am from the Xiao royal family. No, to be precise, I am just a knife in the hands of the Xiao royal family, a knife that will destroy the Zhao royal family."

Chu Yan lay on the ground, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Mo Huiwang is my son, but not your father's son."

Gu Xizhao was stunned, "Whose is that?"

Chu Yan looked up at her, and smiled sadly, "I don't know either. There were so many of them at that time, and I would rather die than live. How would I know who this evil bastard belonged to?"

Gu Xizhao took a step back in shock, "Then Master knows...why..."

"That year, I lived like a living dead, and I didn't wake up until the child was about to be born." Chu Yan's expression calmed down a lot. She stood up slowly, patted her clothes earnestly, and smoothed every spot. Folds, "It's ridiculous that my father has passed on so many medicinal and poisonous prescriptions to me, yet this evil breed still stubbornly survived."

Gu Xizhao was so shocked by this fact that she didn't know what to say, and it took a long time before she bit her lips, "Master, I'm sorry..."

Although Chu Yan's expression was still a little pale, it was much more normal than before. She smiled, "The people who are sorry for me are all dead. Why did Ah Zhao say sorry?"

"It shouldn't be..."

"It's unacceptable, but it's all the truth, isn't it?" Daoist Yun Song interrupted her, let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at Gu Xizhao, "I forgive you, will Ah Zhao forgive me too?"
