Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2805 McCoy Zhuo's Delay
Gu Xueqi sighed, but knew she couldn't do it, so she reached out to pick up the bowl.

Seeing this opportunity, the servant girl who was beaten just now hurried over on her knees, stretched out her hand to help Gu Xueqi carry it, and let her just eat it.

This is really a winking maid, otherwise, if the emperor gets angry again, she will die anyway.

Mai Kezhuo's complexion improved a little now, he seemed to be relieved after seeing Gu Xueqi ate an egg and drank a few more sips of sugar water.

The people around, including the junior officials of the posthouse, were too scared to breathe, and no one dared to raise their eyelids to look up.

McCarthy looked at Liu Ya again, and asked, "How's it going?"

Of course Liu Ya knew what Ma Ke Zhuo meant. She shook her head and said, "She is feeling better, but there is no good news yet."

"Well, let's take care of it first." Maikezhuo's tone was relaxed again, it sounded as if he was not worried about whether Gu Xueqi was pregnant at all, but cared more about whether she was well or not.

If this is a couple who love each other, this sounds pampering and caring.

But the couple in front of her was not even considered a resentful couple, but almost an enemy, and Liu Ya felt that Ma Kezhuo's intentions were a little unpredictable.

Gu Xueqi had already pushed away the bowl, and refused to eat any more.

She raised her head and asked MacChow: "I want to take Ya'er to live with me for a while, okay?"

"No." Mai Kezhuo directly refused, staring at Gu Xueqi with a pair of eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Xueqi bit her lower lip, as if she had been refuted, she didn't say a word.

Liu Ya said: "Then can I go to the palace to accompany her every day? The emperor can choose any time."

McCormack thought for a while, then nodded and said, "You can go there at Chenshi and Sishi every day, and you are not allowed to enter the palace except for these two hours."

"Okay." Liu Ya readily agreed.

Mai Kezhuo didn't say anything else, stepped forward and pulled Gu Xueqi's arm, and said: "It's been so long, and there are no eggs, and I'm still hanging around here? Go back to the palace."

Gu Xueqi's complexion changed, but she still looked limp, being pulled away by Mai Ke Zhuo's arm.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Liu Ya couldn't tell what it was like.

And when everyone was away, Liu Ya quietly took out the key that Gu Xueqi gave her, and looked at it carefully.

This key is only the size of a knuckle. If you add a chain, it can be used as a necklace pendant.

The key itself is only made of silver, but it doesn't look like high-purity silver, it should be fused with cupronickel.There are no gems inlaid, but the workmanship is very exquisite, but it is definitely more practical.

In other words, the key is for picking a lock, not for decoration.

But Gu Xueqi didn't say the purpose of this key at that time, but just gave it to Liu Ya in a hurry.It seems that we have to wait for another chance to ask.

Although Mai Kezhuo allowed Liu Ya to enter the palace regularly, Liu Ya did not rush to go the next day, but continued to dispense medicine at the posthouse with peace of mind.

From time to time, she pondered over the meaning of what Maike Zhuo said yesterday, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ma Kezhuo was really not in a hurry to get Gu Xueqi pregnant.

Obviously this condition was put forward by him, and at that time he still had the attitude of "it must be Gu Xueqi", so why is he not in a hurry now?
Could it be that... Mai Kezhuo was originally planning to delay the attack, only caring about how to keep Gu Xueqi, so that the pregnancy could be taken slowly?

After thinking about it, Liu Ya felt that this possibility was the greatest.Therefore, when she dispensed the medicine, she used some careful thought when choosing the medicine, and adjusted the ratio.

It was not until the morning of the fourth day that Liu Ya packed up her things, took the medicine she had prepared in the past two days, and prepared to enter the palace.

The last time she came to the imperial palace in Ningdu was several years ago, and at that time Liu Ya was anxious about other things, and didn't even think about staying long during the palace banquet.

Come again now, with Gu Xueqi's light, you can take a sheep cart to the harem, and you can also pass through the imperial garden to see the scenery of the Nanyuan Kingdom's palace.

Nanyuan Country is a large trading country, and its wealth is higher than that of Yunqiong Country.So the palace was built somewhat to show off, and it almost didn't use gold bricks to pave the ground.

Moreover, Nanyuan Country also absorbed many foreign elements, such as not many rockery in the garden, but several bell towers were built.Moreover, the bell tower is not purely Chinese, but a bit of European classical color, which looks heavy and luxurious.

But the bell tower here is not for clocks and watches, but for big copper bells.If there is a festival or convening, they will ring the bronze bell together, and the sound can be heard by the whole Ningdu.

In addition, such things as the death of the emperor and the death of the empress will also ring the bell, but it is also particular about how many rings each time.

Liu Ya was not sent to Gu Xueqi's palace, but brought her to a small garden, saying that Gu Xueqi was staring at him there.

When the sheep cart stopped, Liu Ya saw that it was a pine forest.These pine trees seem to be quite old. The pine needles are dark green, and the branches are dark brown. A thick layer of pine needles has accumulated on the ground, and there is a strong smell of pine resin when walking in.

Liu Ya didn't think there was anything good about such a place, she always felt like walking into a martyr's cemetery.

In the middle of the pine forest, there was a high platform made of white stones, on which a log shed was built, and Gu Xueqi was standing in the shed.

"Why did you choose this place?" Liu Ya walked up to the stone platform and found that she could see far away from here, even a small lake at the edge of the pine forest in the northwest.

"I like this thick color." Gu Xueqi walked to the edge of the stone platform, leaned out with her hands on the platform and tried to look forward, and said, "Whether it's dark green or dark brown, it makes me depressed. But I just like it." This breathless feeling, as if this piece of white stone platform is my only salvation."

"You want me to come over every day to accompany you to depress?" Liu Ya didn't know whether to laugh with her or to make trouble with her, but Gu Xueqi was right about depressing, she also felt this way.

Gu Xueqi shook her head, and said: "I just don't know, what else can I do besides suppressing it? I have long since lost my happiness, and I never pursue it for anything. Anyway, I can't get it."

Liu Ya was silent for a while, waiting for Gu Xueqi to finish expressing her emotions.

Liu Ya knows that Gu Xueqi just needs someone who can comfort her.But unfortunately I am not.

The two stood quietly for a while, Gu Xueqi was probably tired, so she walked back slowly and sat down.

Neither Hongye nor Qingyue could follow Liu Ya into the palace, but the two maidservants beside Gu Xueqi were always waiting on her left and right.

Judging from the situation, Gu Xueqi was also not allowed to be free, so Liu Ya wanted to ask about the key, but she couldn't open her mouth.
