The world is heavy and late

Chapter 72
Xia Qing walked out of the catering department and looked up at the square sky of the imperial city.

Xia Qing looked at it and thought, the sky is square, but how big is the human heart?
Are you really going to be trapped by this day?
She walked back step by step.

Saw a lot of people along the way.

The guards patrolling, the servants walking with their heads bowed, and the busy court ladies, there are also female officials and eunuchs.

As she walked past them, many thoughts flashed through her mind.

When she got to Weiyang Palace, she saw Gu Weiyun under the eaves, she was obviously waiting for her.

She thought that her state of affairs these two days had worried her.

Xia Qing smiled at her, and the two walked towards each other together.

Gu Weiyun asked: "It's been so long, but something happened."

Xia Qing nodded, took her hand and went inside the house, the sunlight outside was already dazzling.

She helped Gu Weiyun to the couch, for some reason, she always felt that Gu Weiyun's complexion was not very good these two days.

She said: "Last time it was Cui Jieyu, but she went to Zhongcui Palace."

Gu Weiyun said: "Cui Jieyu wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

Gu Weiyun was still a little surprised, did she really think that Cui Jieyu was probably an impulsive and willful person before, didn't she want to be able to design Concubine Shu?
Xia Qing nodded, then picked up the teacup on the low table, opened it and smelled the tea, took a sip and said, "She wants to consume us first, it depends on whether we are willing or not."

Xia Qing put down the teacup, looked at the busy palace people in the courtyard and said, "In a few days, let's go to the Ganlu Hall. Speaking of which, you haven't seen Cui Jieyu yet."

Gu Weiyun said: "It's not just Cui Jieyu, I have never seen Concubine Shu. When I started walking around the palace, Cui Jieyu was grounded. Concubine Shu recuperated and never left the palace."

Xia Qing heard the hesitation in Gu Weiyun's voice, so she took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm always here."

Gu Weiyun raised her head and saw Xia Qing's firm voice, she gradually lost her fear, and she also slowly glanced at the people in the courtyard: "Then who do you think to use?"

Xia Qing looked at several people and kept looking inward, trying to see the situation in the room clearly, her eyes unconsciously fixed on the person she was most familiar with.

Said: "Rong Yu."

Gu Weiyun said: "Could Rongyu belong to Cui Jieyu?"

Xia Qing said: "Which one do you think is more abominable and hidden than instigating Wu Meiren to come here or feeding you those things?"

Gu Weiyun thought for a while and then understood: "The former can be said to be scheming, but the latter can be regarded as a vicious act."

Xia Qing said: "A person's behavior style rarely changes in a short period of time, Rong Yu and Cui Jieyu must not be the same way."

Gu Weiyun said: "What should we do?"

Xia Qing said: "Show her feet, she has to get in touch with others, so that this matter can be spread widely."

Gu Weiyun nodded and said, "Who can stare at her? Qing Miao?"

Xia Qing said, "Qiao Huan."

……

Qiao Huan felt that these two days were always weird. First, Beauty, Xia Qing, and even Eunuch Xiang were too kind to her.

Once Xia Qing even said in front of everyone that the beauty had given her some ingredients.

Moreover, since then, she felt that Rongyu and Xinghua had also become a little strange.

Mainly because of that strange gaze, even full of inquiry.

She could understand Qingmiao's envious and jealous look, but she couldn't understand Rongyu and Xinghua.

Their occasional scrutiny makes her a little scared, and their sometimes words make her back sweat.

Seeing Rong Yu approaching with a smile on her face, she held her hand and said, "I didn't realize that you are more pleasing to beauties, and I don't know how you do it?"

Qiao Huan's complexion became a little stiff, not only that, she also felt a burning gaze staring at her closely behind her, she was a little at a loss and said: "No, no, it's nothing, I'm just the same as usual."

Qiao Huan usually seldom speaks, but now under the eyes of the other two, her voice is getting quieter.

If it wasn't for Rong Yu's closeness, he wouldn't even be able to hear it.

After Rong Yu heard Qiao Huan's words, she almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face.

A glint of haze flashed in her eyes, and she continued to ask: "It's just the three of us here, just tell me, we came from Gong Zhengsi together."

After Qiao Huan heard this, she didn't know how to speak, even she was a little afraid of Rong Yu's eyes, she always felt like she was being lingering.

She clenched the sleeves at her hands tightly, and her palms were covered with sweat from being too nervous.

She lowered her head deeply and said in a low voice, "It's really nothing."

For a moment, she felt that the eyes behind her were even more stinging, and she didn't know what happened.

But from today onwards, she found that she was faintly squeezed out by the other three. She was very familiar with this kind of thing. It was the same way when she and Qiao Huan were in Gong Zhengsi.

It's just that last time it was Rong Yu and himself, but this time it was him.

In the house at this moment, Xia Qing also had a strange expression on his face.

Xia Qing said: "You must give up this method, you can't take risks now."

Gu Weiyun was still looking down at his stomach, but there was no movement at all.

She said: "It's just that the monthly letter is late, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. My monthly letter is not always accurate."

Xia Qing looked at Gu Weiyun's stomach that was not pregnant at all, clenched his fists and said: "This is not the same thing at all, since you have signs of pregnancy, we can't take a little risk, you don't even know What will happen in the next second?"

Gu Weiyun stared blankly at the door without speaking.

Xia Qing said: "I'm going to invite an imperial physician now."

Gu Weiyun said: "Xia Qing, I want to do it."

Xia Qing said angrily: "What are you talking about, child, does this child know, no one is worth you doing now."

Gu Weiyun said: "But we have already set up the stage."

Xia Qing directly turned around and squatted down and said with Gu Weiyun: "Weiyun, pregnancy and childbirth are not that simple, one bad one will kill two lives. We can set up the table next time, don't worry , there will always be a way."

Gu Weiyun said: "Let's not talk about whether she is really pregnant or not, this is a very good opportunity, and..."

Gu Weiyun looked at Xia Qing with firm eyes and said: "I will be fine, I will definitely protect him."

Xia Qing reached out and touched her belly and said, "I'm more worried about your safety, you know? There will be another child, but you have to take care."

Gu Weiyun attached his hand and said, "I believe you will protect me."

Xia Qing looked into Gu Weiyun's eyes and said, "I don't believe it."

Gu Weiyun just smiled and said: "I believe it is enough."

"I don't want to take risks with my child, but if I miss it now, I will be suspicious if I do it later, and as long as I am pregnant with this child, there will be no less danger around me."

"This is what I prayed for every day. He must know what I think in my heart."

Xia Qing still disagreed, saying nothing and not going to continue.

Gu Weiyun said: "Then I will do it myself."

Xia Qing really had no choice, she looked at Gu Weiyun and said, "Do you have to do it?"

Gu Weiyun nodded at her with tears in his eyes, his nose was a little red.

Xia Qing hurriedly wiped away some tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, and then said: "I heard that pregnant women can't get emotional, so be careful."

Gu Weiyun continued to look at Xia Qing with his eyes open, and Xia Qing said: "Then we have three chapters of agreement."

When Xia Qing and Gu Weiyun finished discussing and were about to go to the next step, Gu Weiyun thought: Well, it works for both the emperor and Xia Qing.

But Xia Qing looked at Qiao Huan in front of him and said, "Do you still remember the scene when I first met you?"

Qiao Huan lowered his head and said nothing, Xia Qing continued: "You were still very good at that time."

Xia Qing looked at the maid in front of her who seemed to be unable to speak or raise her head, and said, "Qiao Huan, do you have many brothers and sisters in your family, and you are not loved by your sisters, father and brother?"

Qiao Huan raised her head in a daze, then looked at Xia Qing for a while and said, "How does Aunt Xia Qing know?"

Xia Qing said indifferently: "Guess, there are only three reasons why a maid who has just entered the palace has suffered so much rejection in Gong Zhengsi, do you know what it is?"

Qiao Huan really didn't know why she was excluded so far. She looked at Xia Qing, and Xia Qing looked at Qiao Huan's eyes full of doubts and tears.

Xia Qing lowered his head sadly while drinking tea and said, "Either it's too sharp, like our beauties, or it offends others, or it's easy to bully."

"You don't like to talk, and you don't like to behave, it can only be the third type."

"Tell me, what kind of girl is easy to be bullied, is she used to being bullied?"

As soon as Xia Qing finished speaking, Qiao Huan couldn't hold back her tears, and she also began to choke up. Did all the bullying she suffered because she was easy to bully?

Why?Why?
The only sound in the room was Qiao Huan's crying. She seemed to cry out all the crying that had been suppressed for more than ten years.

Xia Qing waited quietly for a long time before saying, "Did Rongyu talk when you were being bullied? You don't look like you're clinging to anyone."

After crying heartily, Qiao Huan wiped off the tears and snot on her face with her handkerchief, and said, "She protected me."

Xia Qing smiled disdainfully and said: "That day when she knelt down in Gong Zhengsi, I thought you knew what she meant by frowning. It shows that you are also a smart girl. You don't know why I called you here today. Why?"

Qiao Huan seemed a little scared and asked, "Why me?"

Xia Qing got up and walked to Qiao Huan's side, then gently raised her head, smiled and said:

"You chose to come to Weiyang Palace that day, and you are from Weiyang Palace. But Rongyu is not, she is not the same as you."

She looked at the man in front of her who had kept her head down for a long time and said nothing, silent and cowardly: "You don't like Gong Zhengsi, and neither do we. I always believe that we have more things to talk about."

Qiao Huan is not used to raising her head, nor is she used to looking into other people's eyes. When she saw Xia Qing staring at her, she unconsciously wanted to lower her head, but Xia Qing's hand held her chin. She looked at Xia Qing with flickering eyes. Xia Qing.

Xia Qing was not in a hurry, she looked at Qiao Huan and said, "You can go back today, you can feel carefully, can you and Rongyu still go together?"
