"Your Majesty, you haven't said why you want me to read this?" Yao Xi felt more and more uneasy when he saw the Empress Dowager staring at the booklet in a daze.The empress isn't really helping her interpret her dreams, is she?Did it not turn out so well?

Wan Yu stared at the word "Feng Xi" on the brochure for a long time until her eyes lost focus.Shocked, her brain also became dull. She clearly heard Yao Xi talking to her, but her mind seemed to have gone far away, and she couldn't get it back for a long time.

Yao Xi is her niece?Wan Yu didn't want to believe it.

yes.His Feng family is flourishing, and in a place like the capital, there are so many royal relatives and relatives. Anyone who stops on the street may be the Feng family.But why Yao Xi?

"Your Majesty?" Yao Xi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about so preoccupied? Is there any mystery in those paintings just now? Could it be that the house I dreamed of really exists?"

"No! It doesn't exist!" Wan Yu eagerly denied Yao Xi's guess.

She's in a mess right now and doesn't know what to do.It's too cruel to keep Yao Xi from reuniting with her biological parents even though she knows the truth, but it may be even more cruel to tell Yao Xi everything.If Yao Xi knew that the person he fell in love with was actually his imperial aunt, and even did such a thing, he would definitely collapse, right?

"Aijia actually dreamed of a similar house, so someone drew it and put it in a pile of paintings to see if you and Aijia have a connection in your dream..." Wan Yu closed the booklet and said to Yao Xi Nonsense.

Yao Xi saw that the Empress Dowager was not in a good mood, and asked a little nervously, "Then what's the result?"

"Naturally they are connected. This house is also what the Ai family dreamed about." Wan Yu smiled wryly.

"It's amazing!" Yao Xi threw himself into the empress dowager's arms heartlessly, and coquettishly said: "Could it be that we lived there in our previous life? So my empress and I are destined, right?"

She once watched a film about the reincarnation of life and death, which said that reincarnation has no fixed number, some people reincarnate once in ten years, and some people reincarnate in hundred years.Maybe she met her mother in the previous life and made an appointment for the next life, but she missed it for hundreds of years in reincarnation.Traveling is to meet the empress again?

Wan Yu's hand hesitated for a moment in mid-air, but she still hugged Yao Xi tightly. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Of course it's destined."

The moment Yao Xi was hugged, a certain sense of discomfort overwhelmed him, making Wan Yu feel terrified.This discomfort was completely different from when he thought Yao Xi was a eunuch, it was fear and disgust.Now that she knew that Yao Xi might be her niece, she had a natural rejection of Yao Xi's body.

Thinking of the joys she had with Yao Xi again and again, Wan Yu felt sad and blamed herself.

Tomorrow, I have to call Feng Xi into the palace to ask for clarification.Maybe Yao Xi just went to Kang Wang's house to play when he was a child?Yao Xi and Feng Xi have nothing alike in appearance, so how could they be Feng Xi's daughter?The old saying goes that a woman is Xiaofu.

Anyway, Yao Xi must not be a girl of the Feng family!

Wan Yu's arms around Yao Xi became tighter and tighter.Could it be that she has committed so many evils that God has nothing to do with her, so Yao Xi is used to punish her?

"Young lady. It hurts." Yao Xi's after-effects of exercise are still there, and he can't bear the overly warm embrace of the old lady for the time being.

Wan Yu reduced the force, but did not let go of Yao Xi.

***

As night fell, Wan Yu and Yao Xi were busy in the study as usual.

Wan Yu closed the scroll and got up to take a bath.

Yao Xi, who was injured and working out, quickly got up from the ground and said, "Your Majesty, wait for me."

"Then you go first!" Wan Yu stopped, her heart aching.She had to keep a proper distance from Yao Xi, and she couldn't make the same mistakes again and again.

"Your Majesty, won't you be with me?" No matter how slow Yao Xi was, he could detect the strangeness of the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager has been quiet since she returned to the palace today, and she is no longer sticking to her, as if deliberately avoiding her.

Wan Yu shook her head with a smile and said, "No. You go first, the Ai family wants to read for a while."

Yao Xi stood there without moving, biting his lip and staring blankly at the Empress Dowager who sat down and continued to read as if nothing had happened, and asked cautiously, "Is your empress unhappy?"

"No." Wan Yu looked up at Yao Xi and smiled softly, "You know what happened to Ai Jia's body these two days."

Oh~ yes yes yes.Yao Xi scolded himself secretly.The empress has been sending monthly letters for the past two days, so of course it is inconvenient to share a bath with her. "Then I'll take a shower and go back to the Nuan Pavilion to wait for the empress."

Wan Yu looked at the scroll and said softly without raising her head: "No need, Ai's family will sleep in the hall tonight. Go to bed early after you finish your work! You will go out to tell the story tomorrow."

The empress doesn't want to sleep with her anymore?What is it if you are not angry? "Is your empress angry because of Miss Tao?" Yao Xi couldn't think of any other reason.

"Aijia is not angry." Wan Yu felt very tired.She didn't know how to face Yao Xi, nor how to explain to Yao Xi.She will never allow anyone to take Yao Xi away from her, but she needs a little time to confirm the relationship between Yao Xi and Kang Wang.If Yao Xi is really her niece, she will need time to face Yao Xi again.

After all, she and Yao Xi are not blood relatives, at worst she will not be the Queen Mother.For Yao Xi, there was nothing she could not accept, and there was nothing she could not give up.

But at this moment, she just wanted to be alone.

Yao Xi is not blind, she can tell whether the empress is in a good or bad mood. "I really don't know about Miss Tao's ordering of the teahouse. If you don't believe me, you can ask the accompanying father-in-law."

"The Ai family knows." Wan Yu persuaded Yao Xi wearily, "Go to bed after taking a shower. Be obedient."

Yao Xi was very worried about the Queen Mother's attitude.In the past, the empress used to be jealous and always used to speak ill of her, but today she is terribly calm. "I swear that I will never leave the palace again. Madam, don't be angry with me, okay? If you're unhappy, you can be nice to me, just don't ignore me." Yao Xi cried out sadly while talking.

She can't stand cold violence.The empress speaks when she has something to say, and vents when she is angry.She insisted on pretending to be okay when she had something to do, but she didn't even know how to coax her.

"Why are you crying? Ai's family is really not angry with you." Wan Yu felt much sadder than Yao Xi. Ever since she returned to the palace, she had been tormented by Yao Xi's life experience, and she had to endure the pain in her heart to deliberately distance herself from Yao Xi. .She walked up to Yao Xi wearily, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on Yao Xi's face, and said softly, "Stop crying. Ai's heart aches."

"Then why doesn't the lady sleep with me?" Yao Xi asked, sobbing.

Wan Yu made an excuse: "Aren't you in pain? Ai Jia is afraid that sleeping together will squeeze you."

"Your Majesty..." Yao Xixi was moved.The empress is really the kind of person who treats her silently, with a cold face, without saying anything, but she is more thoughtful than her.Yao Xi shyly stood on tiptoe, wanting to kiss the empress.

Sensing Yao Xi's intentions, Wan Yu took several steps back in fright.

Yao Xi's mood, which had just cleared up, was once again torrential rain. "Why do you want to hide, empress?"

"..." Wan Yu was at a loss for words for a moment.Why is she hiding?Because I am not ready to accept my niece.

"Is your empress..." Yao Xi took two steps back with sobs, and it took a long time to force out the words: "You don't love me anymore?" The empress doesn't want to bathe with her, don't want to sleep with her, even if These two things can be explained.Then why don't you even want to touch her?What about fate?

Silly girl.If I didn't love you, I wouldn't be so uncomfortable.

Wan Yu's heart felt like a tearing pain, her chest was constricted and she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't talk for a while.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not answer, Yao Xi thought that the Empress Dowager had acquiesced, and burst into tears instantly.

"Aijia is really angry if you say stupid things again?" Wan Yu threw away the handkerchief soaked in Yao Xi's tears, wiped her tears with her cuff and said, "Little heartless, even Aijia doesn't love you." Dare to say such a thing, are you sorry?"

"Then why do you want to hide? Since you love me, why do you act like you're not in a hurry to avoid me?" Yao Xi said aggrievedly.

"I haven't paid back the 1 taels my father-in-law owed to Ai's family? Of course I can't let my father-in-law touch it!" Wan Yu planned to find an excuse to appease Yao Xi first.

Yao Xi was stunned.The empress actually still remembers that?She also thought about it before touching her mother after earning enough 1 taels of silver.But how can 1 taels be so easy to earn?She may not earn it in eight lifetimes.Slowly, she pragmatically set the goal to be more than the 1000 taels she gave to Miss Tao.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?" Yao Xi panicked.Does the empress want to bid farewell to X life for the rest of her life?

"Yes. Seriously." Wan Yu said perfunctorily.

Yao Xi felt that there was a reason why the empress was so abnormal when she came back from the palace.

The empress once said to her in anger: Peng Ai's family is 1 taels, and refuses to keep the account.Or is it that the father-in-law's money is only willing to be given to Tao Xiaolin?

Today, when I went out of the palace to see Miss Tao, she brought up the 1 taels again when she came back, which shows that there is a thorn in her heart.

"Okay!" Yao Xi made up his mind.No matter what, she wanted to pull out the thorn in the empress's heart.

***

The night is deep.

Yao Xi in the warm pavilion tossed and turned, listening to the breathing of the empress in the sleeping hall outside the screen.

Wan Yu didn't sleep, she opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the Nuan Pavilion.She was used to sleeping with Yao Xi hugging each other, but she really couldn't sleep when they separated suddenly.

The night wind rustled the trees in the courtyard.

Yao Xi got up and closed the window of the Nuan Pavilion, walked around the screen with his shoes, and wanted to see if the queen mother had covered herself with the quilt.

Upon hearing the movement, Wan Yu immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.She felt a black shadow pressing over her body, and her hand was gently grabbed and stuffed into the quilt.She suddenly had some expectations that she shouldn't have...

Opening his eyes again, Yao Xi has already returned to the Nuan Pavilion.
