Your Majesty, it's polite

On a quiet night, the moon is slightly cool, inside Cheng Guogong's closed back door, a fat old woman is sitting on a small stool, gnawing melon seeds, drinking a small tea leisurely, and humming an out-of-key tune from time to time , very comfortable.

As the night was getting darker, just as she got up and was about to lock the door and go back to sleep, someone knocked on the door suddenly, which startled her.

"Who?"

In the middle of the night, if you don't sleep, you come to them and knock on some door.

Terrified, she picked up the long stick beside her, and tremblingly went to the back of the door to look out.

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice came from outside, eager and full of weeping: "Open the door, old money woman, open the door for me."

"Miss Biao?" The voice seemed to be their cousin Wei Tian.

The old woman opened the door quickly without thinking, and was startled when she saw a completely unfamiliar face.

"Who are you?"

After all, he wanted to close the door.

Dressed in rags and with a disheveled face, Wei Tian pushed her away angrily, and shouted: "Old money woman, if you continue to do this, I will let housekeeper Xu beat you to death."

Kicking her to the ground, he ran into the inner courtyard while she was in pain.

The old Qian Po was kicked in the abdomen and rolled all over the floor in pain. By the time she realized it, Wei Tian had long since disappeared.

If an outsider breaks in, if she is found out, she will definitely be sold out, and the old money woman's expression changes drastically.

She stood up and shouted tremblingly: "Come on, someone has broken into the mansion, someone has broken into the mansion, guards, guards, servants..."

After shouting, he copied the long stick that fell to the ground just now, and chased after him with trembling steps.

Wei Tian, ​​who had already rushed up the corridor in front, heard the roar from behind. Regardless of the pain in her body, she quickened her pace and ran towards the study in the front yard desperately.

She used to live here often, and knew that her great-grandfather must still be reading in the study at this time.

Even if you retire, the habits you have developed over the years will never change.

Turning and turning, she broke into the courtyard outside the study and almost fell to the ground.

When the guards heard the old money woman's yell, they immediately chased after him and collided with Wei Tian who was running.

Wei Tian knew her strange face now, others would not believe that she was Wei Tian, ​​so she ran towards the outside.

"stop."

Several guards immediately surrounded her, and some even drew their swords to solve the situation on the spot if something was wrong.

After all, Wei Tian was a woman, and she was wounded, how could she possibly win against a few big men, and was pushed to the ground by them within a short while.

She struggled violently and roared, "Let go, let go of me, I am your cousin Wei Tian."

The guards were overjoyed when they heard it, and one of the guards who was holding her laughed and said, "Our cousin is indeed missing, but we know exactly what she looks like."

Miss Biao can only be considered beautiful, but this one is amazing.

Wei Tian knew that they couldn't do it, and was struggling again. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the housekeeper walking towards them, as if meeting a savior.

With tears in his eyes, he shouted: "Butler He, Butler He, come and save me quickly."

Not to mention that she doesn't know that she is Wei Tian, ​​but Butler He knows it all.

In the hands of Taoist Priest Zi Lai, he often brought supplies for himself, and even applied medicine to her face.

Steward He heard that a thief broke into the backyard, and when he came to see the woman on the ground, his face changed slightly.

"Let go of her."

Butler He came to her and waved for the guards to let her go.

After the guards let go, they looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling puzzled but retreated to the side.

Steward He lifted Wei Tian who was in a state of embarrassment, and exclaimed in surprise: "Why did you appear here?"

Holding his hand tightly, Wei Tian glanced at the guards and said in a low voice, "It's a long story."

Housekeeper He understood, and helped her walk to the study.

The guards at the back looked at the butler with a very respectful attitude, and couldn't help whispering, thinking about who this guy was, making the butler take it so seriously.

The housekeeper helped Wei Tian into the backyard, went outside the study and opened the door directly to enter.

Seeing the old Duke in the study, Wei Tian burst into tears, and growled hoarsely: "Great-grandfather, woo..."

Seeing the pale and emaciated great-granddaughter, the old man exclaimed, "Tianer."

"Woo...great-grandfather." Wei Tian pushed Steward He away, threw herself in front of the old Duke, and lay down at his feet crying.

The old Duke happened to see her welted nape with his eyes down, and looked at the exhausted great-granddaughter. Thinking of the suffering she had suffered these days, that unique kindness finally opened his conscience.

"Son, you are suffering."

As he stroked her messy hair, the old man's mind was full of the lovely eyes of his granddaughter.

Looking at the similar eyes between her and his granddaughter, his heart ached one after another.

When Taoist Zi came to change her face, he specifically ordered her not to change her eyes.

When I think of my granddaughter like this, I can think of her when I look at this child.

Wei Tian clutched his hand, weeping uncontrollably: "Great-grandfather, woo... woo, I thought I would never see you again."

Lying on his knees, Wei Tian cried heartily, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances these days.

"Good boy, it's my great-grandfather who is sorry for you mother and daughter."

Holding her in his arms, the old Duke couldn't hide the grief in his heart, and he burst into tears.

Steward He looked at the two grandparents crying uncontrollably, and stood respectfully by the side, and waited until the crying of the two faded away before he dared to go forward and hand over the silk handkerchief.

Wei Tian took Sipa and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked up at his eyes full of sadness: "Great-grandfather, you must save me."

After a short period of calm, the old Duke returned to his senses and said, "Why are you here?"

He hadn't seen her since Tang Yunshu caught her, but her appearance at this moment moved Yu Hou and confused all beings.

Was she here on purpose, or was she lucky to escape?

Compared with the former, the old man believed in the latter more.

She is a weak woman, without any skills, only a little scheming, how could she escape under strict supervision?

Tang Yunshu is surrounded by experts, not to mention a fire, even if the whole house is burned down, he can still watch a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

Wei Tian didn't know that his mind had turned eighteen times, and cried, "Great-grandfather, I was originally imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but for some reason, Tang Yunshu imprisoned me in a private house outside the capital without authorization. I learned later that, He wants to use me to threaten your old man. I was poisoned by her there, I was tortured every day, and I had to take a lot of bitter medicine. It's burning, and I can't run out while I'm in trouble. Huh...Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, you must not let me be caught again, I'm afraid."

Lying on his knees, Wei Tian howled loudly, with despair and sadness in her voice.

Caressing her yellow and messy hair, seeing her haggard and pale, the old man's eyes were full of distress: "Don't worry, my great-grandfather will definitely protect you."

No matter what the reason was, the fact that she returned to him safely again gave him a chance to make amends.

"Great-grandfather, I'm useless and ruined your plan."

Holding his waist, Wei Tian cried even more sadly, her voice full of guilt.

"It's not your fault, it's my great-grandfather who is ashamed of you and your mother."

When the night was dark, he also regretted dragging his granddaughter into the political struggle.

If she is only allowed to be an ignorant lady quietly, then at least she doesn't have to endure to sacrifice her to protect the Duke of Cheng.

In the end, he still sacrificed his most beloved granddaughter, and almost couldn't keep her child.

At this moment, the old Duke seems to have forgotten that he sent someone to assassinate Wei Tian, ​​and he is like a very loving elder.

Thinking of the granddaughter who committed suicide, more and more pity for Wei Tian.

Caressing her cheek, he said in a distressed tone: "You stay here obediently, don't worry, with your great-grandfather here, no one can hold you in the future."

Holding his hand, Wei Tian nodded heavily, her brows fully relaxed.

"I believe my great-grandfather and my mother once said that as long as they stay by your side, no one can hurt Tian'er."

"Good boy, go down and have a good rest first. You don't have to think about anything, your great-grandfather will take care of everything for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Steward He came to the door, summoned the maid standing in the distance, asked her to support Wei Tian to rest, and sent for a doctor by the way.

Seeing his granddaughter being helped away, the old Duke's expression suddenly became gloomy.

The butler hurried forward and said in a low voice: "Master, Miss Biao has always been simple, with her ability, can she really escape?"

I have to say, as expected of the housekeeper who has been with the old Duke all his life, he quickly calmed down.

The old man rolled up his sleeves, and said in a gloomy tone, "Go and check that house immediately, I suspect that she was released on purpose."

Butler He nodded and said, "Master, what is the purpose of Tang Yunshu's trip?"

"I don't know." Shaking his head, the old man said meaningfully: "Tang Yunshu has always been scheming, and it is difficult to be careless in everything he does. If Tian'er is really released by him, there must be big moves in the future."

Picking up the slippery ball on the table, he rolled it gently, his eyes thoughtful.

The housekeeper said again: "Master, if Miss Biao is left behind, I'm afraid it will cause serious trouble."

"I don't know." Sighing softly, the old man looked sad: "But she is Rong'er's only child. If I can make a move, I dare not do it a second time."

Butler He knelt down in front of him, his eyes moving: "Master, let the little one come."

The old Duke turned his head to look at the housekeeper who had been with him for most of his life, thought for a while, and still insisted: "Send her away, send her away, give her a sum of money, and let her live comfortably for the rest of her life. "

Having already owed his granddaughter once, he cannot owe him a second time.

Butler He was about to speak again, looked up at his old face, and finally swallowed.

The old man wrote a letter and handed it to Butler He: "Immediately send someone to the Great Barbarian Kingdom, I can't wait any longer."

He is very old, and he can't afford to wait more than ten years.

While he was still in good health, he wanted to use iron and blood methods to make things progress faster.

Butler He nodded, took the letter respectfully, and walked outside quickly.

The study room was as quiet as a family. The old man looked at the tiger-shaped jade on the table, and his hand holding the slippery ball became more and more vigorous.

Tang Yunshu, I don't believe it, you really came to beat me.

Ever since Tang Yunshu appeared in the capital and stood in a hostile position with him, he was included in all his failed plans.

Tang Yunshu, I must have you die, so that the hatred in my heart can be relieved.
