Fishing Beauty Dressed As a Vicious Stepmother

For Lee Rongxiu, or Lee Rongzhao?

The hall calmed down, and Gu Ze was also looking at her, as if waiting for her answer, but also as if confused. What was the relationship between her and Li Rongxiu?

Qiao Sha leaned back in the chair and looked at Xie Lanchi. He lowered his eyes and didn't even dare to look at her. Now he knew exactly where he was, and understood that she would never do it for him.

But he still didn't recognize her. Did he think she would do it for Li Rongxiu and Li Rongzhao?

She was just for her own happiness.

"What if I said it was for you?" Qiao Sha looked at him and asked him suddenly.

He was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at her, his eyes were filled with stunned and unbelievable expressions, as if he hadn't heard her clearly, and he murmured two words: "What?"

"For you." Qiao Sha looked at him more and more calmly and tenderly, and said to him: "I didn't have the ability to protect you at the beginning. I gave you to Li Rongxiu. This time I can kill Li Rongxiu for you."

Gu Ze turned his head to look at Qiao Sha in surprise.

Qiao Sha only looked at Xie Lanchi. She saw the completely frozen expression on his face. He looked at her blankly, as if in a dream.

He believed it.

Qiao Sha smiled, smiling badly and happily, holding his head tilted and looking at Xie Lanchi and said: "Whatever you say, do you believe it? Xie Lanchi, what are you dreaming about?"

She saw Xie Lanchi's broken dream expression, he was sluggish there, frowned slightly, and for a moment his eyes were full of slight heartbreak and embarrassment.

He tightened his fingers under his sleeves, stood there, and tightened his throat, as if his breathing was painful. He laughed at himself in his heart. Why would he believe such a clumsy and absurd lie?

Yes, Xie Lanchi, what are you dreaming about?

It's ridiculous to deceive yourself to this point.

Gu Ze looked at Xie Lanchi at this moment, and suddenly felt that he was very pitiful. Did he...like his stepmother?

But when he looked at Qiao Sha again, she just made a joke, holding her head and smiling and said: "I'm naturally doing it for myself, you guys should be less affectionate."

Her rubies swayed beside her cheeks, her brows and eyes were filled with merciless beauty.

Gu Ze discovered that she might not have had a feeling for him. The illusions and hints she gave him were just like she had just teased Xie Lanchi.

But the more she was like this, the more he wanted to get her sincerity, what Li Rongxiu, Li Rongzhao, and Xie Lanchi couldn't get, he could get it, just like this big Sunda country.

Gu Ze shook hands and asked her, "Do you want to enter the palace for yourself?"

"I want to go back to my hometown." She looked at him and asked him: "Are you willing to let me go?"

Gu Ze was asked by her, how could he let her go.

She sneered: "Of course I refuse. If I leave, you will not be able to contain the new emperor and send your sister into the palace. I am your chess piece, how can you let me go easily."

She lowered her eyes, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and she still said to him and Xie Lanchi in that tone: "In that case, it is better to be happy and send me to the palace. I will contain Li Rongzhao and Li Rongxiu for you, and let Gu Jiaojiao entered the Lord’s Eastern Palace smoothly. Then you will rescue me from the palace, send me away from Beijing, and let me go."

She seemed to have made up her mind a long time ago. She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Ze and said, "You take me out of the palace and take care of yourself and pretend to take care of you. Isn't that the purpose? I will make this chess piece, the only one It is only required that I be released from Beijing after I have used it. From now on, I will have nothing to do with you."

Nothing more to do.

Gu Ze met her eyes, his throat was blocked, then he wanted to ask her: Is Kyoto bad? Is he treating her badly? Although he originated from exploits, but he compromised and softened her again and again, she was not covered up at all?

The hall was extremely quiet, neither he nor Xie Lanchi spoke.

Until the father-in-law outside the door said with a smile: "Two adults, the saint is still waiting in the palace."

Gu Ze stood up, grabbed the sleeve of his robe, and said to Qiao Sha: "Okay, when it's done, I will send you out of Beijing."

But he didn't think so in his heart, immediately after half a month, half a month later, he didn't believe that he could not warm her, and could not keep her.

"It's settled." Qiao Sha smiled at him, got up from the chair, and returned to her gentle and sweet look. "Guest Brother Gu, I will definitely hold Li Rongxiu in check and will not let anything go wrong immediately. ."

Looking at her smile, Gu Ze became more and more unable to see and understand her heart. He turned to leave the main hall and opened the door.

Qiao Sha followed him out, but the silent Xie Lanchi reached out and grabbed her arm.

"If you really want to leave, leave now." He said to her lowly beside her. He didn't want her to enter the palace so much, especially when looking at Li Rongxiu outside, Xie Lanchi felt an unspeakable feeling, as if When she entered the palace, he could no longer catch her.

Obviously last night, he had just been close to her and realized the joy of having her, but now he wants to send her into the palace to be with Li Rongzhao and Li Rongxiu day and night.

He even wondered, the groom who died in his mansion, the groom had obviously been dead for a few days, who was the one who had affair with her?

On the second day after the groom's body was found, Li Rongxiu entered Beijing unconsciously.

Is this just a coincidence?

His fingers became tighter and tighter.

Qiao Sha turned her head to look at him, and asked him softly, "How to leave? Will you help me to leave?"

Xie Lanchi met her eyes, the smile on her face remained undiminished, and her voice was kept very low and low, "Xie Lanchi, you will fight against Gu Ze in order to save me and lose your position as factory supervisor. From then on Are you wanted by the court?"

He and she know very well that now saving her from Kyoto, not only Li Rongzhao and Li Rongxiu will not let him and her go, but even Gu Ze will chase them to the ends of the world and arrest them.

She did not wait for him to answer, she pulled her arm back, smiled and said to him: "I was so upset when I gave you to Li Rongxiu. The difference is that I was innocently implicated by your father and son at that time. You sent me into the palace with your own hands."

Xie Lanchi stood there stiffly with a knife. She put her hand on his arm and said to him, "Help me out."

She asked him to help her out, get on the carriage, and enter the palace.

Xie Lanchi’s fingers were stiff and cold. He helped her out of the main hall. With every step she took, her shadow shook at his feet. He looked down at the shadow and kept thinking about what she said. She was implicated by them. , Now he personally sent her into the palace...

Did she make a mistake?

No, she was implicated in the first place, but now it is also his and Gu Ze's calculation to let her be a chess piece and the weak underbelly of the new emperor.

She said nothing wrong, he was the one who made the mistake.

He regretted it, he didn't want to see her in pain, and didn't want her to enter the palace.

But the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion. He helped her out of the mansion and stood in front of the carriage.

The mighty carriages and horses, the palace guards in the palace, and the soldiers brought by Cao Ming, the subordinate of General Duan, guarded them around the carriage to welcome the imperial concubine into the palace.

Xie Lanchi stopped in front of the carriage and did not move.

Li Rongxiu's wheelchair stopped at his feet, raised his hand, and the coachman opened the curtain. In the carriage of the carriage, there was a patch of red flowers.

It is a pomegranate flower, which is filled with pomegranate flowers.

At this moment, Xie Lanchi confirmed the guess in his heart that her groom's lover was Li Rongxiu.

Qiao Sha also didn't expect that Li Rongxiu was still playing romance with her here, and there was a cart of pomegranate flowers, but she didn't understand why he loved to give pomegranate flowers?

"The slave maid will help you." Cui Cuihong stretched out her hand towards her, "Let the slave servant take care of you."

Silly girl.

Qiao Sha wanted to remove her hand from Xie Lanchi's arm and hand it to Cui Cui, but Xie Lanchi grabbed her hand suddenly, and he took her hand.

Qiao Sha looked at him. There was no emotion on his pale face, it looked like a block of ice, but his hand was firm and tight.

She did not move.

Li Rongxiu raised his eyes, his beautiful eyes were filled with sarcasm, and said in a weird manner: "Is Grandpa Xie going to personally help the newly-appointed concubine get into the carriage?"

Gu Ze took a step forward, held Xie Lanchi's arm, and whispered to him: "Don't go crazy." He knew Xie Lanchi's temperament well, for fear that he would go crazy at this knot of bones. With a hard finger, he pulled his hand away. .

Qiao Sha smiled and supported Cui Cui, and got into the carriage neatly, without looking at Xie Lanchi again.

Xie Lanchi stood under the carriage, listening to the waiter's order to return to the palace, her empty palm was strangely cold, and her smile was full of sarcasm.

She was mocking him, couldn't she be saved?

What right does he have to hate her? Hate that she drugged him and sent him to the palace in order to protect herself?

He was standing in the long street and suddenly his tinnitus was so severe that he could only vaguely hear Gu Ze saying, "What are you doing!"

He doesn't know what he is doing.

He should hate her, treat her as a pawn, use her, retaliate against her, and let her die.

But now, he suddenly couldn't hate her anymore, he held her, and even wanted to take her away and go with her regardless.

Doesn't she want to go back to her hometown in Jinan? Then he will go with her...

But the carriage was far away, and she was also far away.

Gu Ze pulled his arm tightly and warned him not to act rashly and harm others and himself.

He shook off Gu Ze's hand, ordered someone to prepare a horse, and turned on his horse.

"Where are you going?" Gu Ze hurriedly grabbed his rein.

Xie Lanchi looked down at him and said, "Send the imperial concubine to the palace."

------

The carriage stopped under the palace gate.

Qiao Sha got out of the carriage and saw Xie Lanchi. He personally reached out to help her get off the carriage and changed his steps.

Like her personal servant, he entered the palace with her, but did not go to the palace of the new emperor, but carried it into Yongning Palace.

Almost all people in this palace are Xie Lanchi and Gu Ze, including this Yongning Palace.

Li Rongxiu was stopped outside the hall without any accident. Now she is the noble concubine waiting to go to bed, and he is the king of Chu, Xie Lanchi naturally has reasons to stop him.

However, Xie Lanchi even stopped the new emperor who hurriedly arrived outside the hall, saying that she was unwell and feared that she would be sick to the new emperor.

Li Rongxiu was in the corridor, sitting in a wheelchair, lowered his head and smiled lightly. He originally thought that Xie Lanchi might not mess around for Qiao Sha, regardless of the overall situation. Now it seems that he was wrong.

Xie Lanchi was held tightly in the palm of Qiao Sha.

Li Rongzhao was blocked at the entrance of the hall and was "returned" to his sleeping hall by several servants. His face flushed with anger, walked up to Li Rongxiu and asked him, "Brother, is Sasha really uncomfortable?"

Li Rongxiu looked up at this half-brother, and slowly said to him, "What do you think?"

Li Rongzhao's heart was blocked, and he knew that Xie Lanchi coaxed him and made up reasons to prevent him from seeing Qiao Sha.

The emperor, he is extremely useless, so it is better to return it to the third brother. As long as the third brother agrees to let him go back to the palace with Qiao Sha, the third brother will definitely agree.

He had never harmed the third brother, nor did he want to seize the throne of the third brother. He had never thought of becoming an emperor at all, and he couldn't help himself at this stage.

These third brothers also said in the letter they wrote to him. The third brother knew that he was under house arrest by Xie Lanchi and Gu Ze and had to become the emperor.

The third brother also knew that he liked Qiao Sha and took Qiao Sha's black hair as a token, saying that he could help him get rid of Xie Lanchi and Gu Ze, so that he could get what he thought of.

As long as their brothers join forces to get rid of Xie Lanchi and Gu Ze, it doesn't matter if the emperor does it or not. The third brother is more suitable to be an emperor than him.

He only needs yarn.

He reached out to push the wheelchair for the third brother, lowered his head and said to the third brother: "I want to see Sasha, third brother, what should I do?"

Li Rongxiu looked at the waiter behind them. They were all Xie Lanchi's people. He slowly said, "Naturally, we must kill Xie Lanchi first."

He didn't shy away from Xie Lanchi's eyes and ears, he didn't say anything, Xie Lanchi also knew that he came back to kill him.

Li Rongzhao frowned, but how should he kill Xie Lanchi? This palace is full of people from Xie Lanchi, he is just a puppet under Xie Lanchi's fingers.

------

Qiao Sha did feel a little uncomfortable. She hadn't used food well this day, and she was a little sick in the carriage.

After entering Yongning Palace, he retched twice, fearing that he would vomit out, curled up on the couch and lay down for a while.

Vaguely heard, Xie Lanchi sent an imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor knelt on the couch to diagnose her pulse, nothing more than the old diseases that the imperial doctor Ye had previously diagnosed for her.

Only this time, Xie Lanchi heard from the imperial doctor that she had been injured by the medicine in the spleen, stomach and body, and it might be difficult to treat her well.

He stood by the couch, unable to speak a word.

He boiled the medicine for her himself, and ordered someone to prepare a bowl of plain noodles before he came to the couch and called her softly.

It was dusk outside the window, and the blood of the setting sun was draped in the sky, shining a beautiful light on the side hall, she leaned on the couch and opened her eyes, so the bloodless face made it uncomfortable to look at.

"Hungry?" Xie Lanchi reached out and helped her up, let her sit on the couch, slowly took off her steps, and removed those hair accessories for her, trying to make her feel more comfortable, "The medicine is good. Yes, take some plain noodles and put a pad on it, and then drink the medicine."

The court lady on the side was busy carrying the plain noodles in a jasper bowl and offered them to Xie Lan Chi.

Xie Lanchi took it in her hand and fed it to her after blowing a cold.

She tilted her head, leaned on the soft pillow, and said to him, "You are waiting for me on your knees."

Xie Lanchi's hand had a meal.

The maidservant next to him and the servants in the hall were all shocked, each lowered their heads and shuddered. Even the saint in this palace did not dare to let the factory supervisor kneel down to serve, and he did not even dare to wait...

They didn't dare to look up at Xie Factory Supervisor, for fear that he would start a fire to harm Chi Yu.

They didn't know that Xie Lanchi was not angry at all.

Because he knew very well, she was venting her anger.

It was like that bowl of swill, when she was in pain, she would hate him in her heart.

"You don't want to kneel down?" She turned her head, looked at him with cold eyes dissatisfied, raised her hand and knocked the bowl in his hand to the ground, "then you don't have to serve me."

The bowl clanged to the ground, and the maidservants in the palace knelt down in a hurry, and did not dare to breathe. Only the imperial concubine said brazenly: "I want to see Li Rongzhao, let him come and serve me." Said: "Otherwise, Li Rongxiu will also succeed."

These words just sounded scary, and they called the Holy Lord's name directly, and said that His Royal Highness was also successful...Each sentence can be lost.

But Xie the factory supervisor showed no signs of anger. He even wiped off the soup splashed on his fingers with his own sleeves, and asked her calmly and patiently: "I will wait on you on my knees, which will make you feel better. ?"

"Seeing your pain, I can feel better." She answered without hesitation.

I saw Supervisor Xie stood up, went to the table and filled a bowl of plain noodles with his own hands, returned to the couch, lifted the corners of his robe, and knelt down.

At that moment, the maidservant and the maid almost pressed their faces to the ground, terrified, wherever they dared to look.

How could the Xie factory governor, who did not need to bow down when he met the saint in the palace, kneeled down on a woman? A woman who just sealed a noble concubine?

Who can believe this is true.

But Qiao Sha felt uncomfortable, he just knelt down, but he copied her pain and experienced it again.

"Kneel closer." Qiao Sha's head was stirred with a knife in her stomach, and she lay down for a while, and even her head started to suffer pain. Seeing him kneeling there with low eyebrows and submissive appearance, her heart swelled and tortured. His urge to vent his anger.

He held the plain noodles in his hands, knelt closer to the side of the couch, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Eat the noodles."

It was as thin as a silver thread, and he fed it to her in a spoon.

Qiao Sha opened her mouth and took a mouthful of her face. She swallowed and stroked her stomach like swallowing a knife, but she endured it and ate a small bowl one bite after another.

He gradually showed a relieved expression on his face, brought the soup medicine, and coaxed her to say: "This medicine has hawthorn in it. It is not bitter. Take a sip. If it is bitter, I will drink it with you."

He was still kneeling and fed her a small spoon.

Qiao Sha looked at him, drank the little spoon, and said softly: "Xie Lanchi, you are so cheap like this."

He stared at her blankly, his lips were a little pale, and his eyebrows were so slowly frowned, and then loosened.

He was sad.

He held a true heart, treated her carefully, but was trampled and insulted repeatedly by her, how could he not be sad?

But she just wanted to make him sad. The more sad he was, the more comfortable she would be. She didn't want to suffer the pain he brought to her alone.

101 sighed softly, he sighed for the host, she used to have such repeated pain, right? Isn't she a tortured crazy person?

Aranqian shouldn't be absolutely wrong, shouldn't copy the suffering of others, he chose to perish together, and that can only take it for himself.

-----

When it got dark, Qiao Sha slept on the couch for a while, and in a daze, she heard someone talking to Xie Lanchi.

It seems to be Gu Ze.

He lowered his voice and asked Xie Lanchi what he was thinking. Since she has entered the palace, not allowing the new emperor to see her will only force the new emperor to confront them more and more.

What else was said, she couldn't hear clearly.

Only vaguely heard Xie Lanchi say: "She is uncomfortable, speak quietly..."

She fell asleep again in a drowsy manner, but she couldn't sleep well, her stomach was always painful, and it hurt after a while, her palm was pressed on the stomach, and she slept with pain and cold sweat.

She was dazedly dreaming, dreaming that someone was next to her, holding a kerchief, wiping her sweat over and over again, pulling away her hands on her stomach, and rubbing her palms against her stomach in circles. ...

The palm of his hand was not as comfortable as Li Rongxiu's, and it was cool, as if it was always warm or not.

But that hand has been rubbing, patiently and slowly, without stopping.

She heard his murmur, but could not hear clearly, only vaguely heard "Bodhisattva... shelter her..."

She opened her eyes in the whisper and saw Xie Lanchi's moon-like face, and he pressed his mouth in a daze.

"Did you wake you up?" he asked her softly, his palm still on her stomach.

Qiao Sha generally looked at him with hysteria, and asked him in a dumb voice, "What were you praying to the Bodhisattva just now?"

She didn't hear it clearly.

He paused there and said nothing, but gently pulled away the broken hair from her forehead, gently pulled her back behind her ear, and asked her, "Do you still want to vomit?"

There is no light in the hall, only the moonlight coming through the window, the cold moonlight, and the faint crimson reflected by the screens of Qian.

Make her and him look gentle and beautiful.

She nodded, her fragile and pale face leaning against his hand, looking so pitiful, so good.

But her eyes were red, so red Xie Lanchi's heart trembled, and she heard her mute voice: "I want to see Li Rongxiu."

Xie Lanchi's hand froze beside her face. Hearing her red eyes and muffled voice, her heart seemed to be broken.

She said, "Can you let Li Rongxiu come to accompany me? He can stay with me and I can feel better."

Why?

He stayed with her, couldn't he compare with Li Rongxiu's stay with her?

What Li Rongxiu can do, what can he not do for her?

She was just to see his heartbreak, right? Use Li Rongxiu to break his heart.

He lowered his eyes and asked her: "I'll be with you, okay?"

She looked at him, shook her head lightly, and said nothing.

This is more painful and sad than hitting him, scolding him, humiliating him.

She was too sick to have the strength to torture him, but she could still cause him pain easily.

He didn't want to find Li Rongxiu, but she vomited up in the middle of the night, and vomited out all the noodles she ate and the medicine she drank.

This time she was surprisingly quiet, lying on the couch and crying for a while, and then said: "When can Li Rongxiu come to see me?"

Xie Lanchi cleaned up her filth and changed her clothes, feeling so sad that she didn't feel the pain anymore.

Does she really love Li Rongxiu so much?

After all, he went to Li Rongxiu. Li Rongxiu stayed in the remote hall not far from Yongning Palace. He didn't sleep either. He just changed into a clean new clothes and sat under the window, as if waiting for him. , Or Qiao Sha.

There was dead silence in the palace in the middle of the night, only the voice of Li Rongxiu's wheelchair.

Xie Lanchi took him into Qiao Sha's bedroom and pushed him over by himself.

Qiao Sha on the couch heard the sound, turned around and saw Li Rongxiu, her eyes filled with tears for a moment, and she stretched out her hand to him.

At that moment, even Li Rongxiu mistakenly thought that she fell in love with him and loved him so much.

It's a pity that this illusion didn't last long. He sat on the couch and held her face with his palms against her stomach, so that her cold body gradually warmed up.

She looked at Xie Lan Chi, who had retreated outside the inner hall, and said to Li Rongxiu very lightly, "You don't touch Xie Lan Chi for now, I'm still useful."

Li Rongxiu paused with his fingers, sighed in his heart, held her face, lowered his face to look at her, and asked her in a low voice: "Don't you miss me?" Just to call him and tell him this?

Is it just because she was afraid that he would kill Xie Lanchi?

Qiao Sha looked at him, raised her head and kissed his lips lightly, and said to his lips, "Do you miss me?"

Her breath filled the tip of his nose, and his lips were cold. He had been in love for a long time, and gently rubbed her lips, wanting to warm her up, grabbed her palm and pressed it on his sour and sorrowful heart. , Murmured: "I don't want you, can't you feel it?"

One of his heart beats in her palm, letting her squash and round, she still doesn't understand?

------

In the huge outer hall, only Xie Lanchi was sitting under the lampstand alone. He looked at the bright candle, the wick that was beating by the fire, much like him.

The inner hall was only separated by a gauze curtain. He didn't turn his head to look at the shadow inside the gauze curtain, so why bother to look.

He heard them seem to be whispering, but he couldn't hear what they were saying, so why bother to hear them now.

He asked himself, why and why.

Holding the small silver scissors, cut the wick, and the light flicked, and it went out.

If she died, his heart and his life would be destroyed in this way. He used to live on the hatred of her, but now lives on the gentleness of her charity.

In the dim hall, he held his cold forehead, and looked at it without restraint—the shadows of the two of them mixed together in the smoky veil.

Is Li Rongxiu kissing her?

What about her?

Kissing him back too? Like she kissed him that night, do you kiss Li Rongxiu?

A sour jealousy grew in his heart, he got up abruptly and walked towards the inner hall, reaching out and opening the curtain.

But seeing Li Rongxiu sitting on the couch, lowering her head and stroking her face, she fell asleep peacefully on Li Rongxiu's legs.

Li Rongxiu raised his hand and gave him a "hush".

His heart fell back to its original position little by little, she was asleep, she didn't kiss Li Rongxiu, at least not at this moment.

Li Rongxiu slowly put her in place, moved back to the wheelchair, turned the wheelchair and left the inner hall, and suddenly said to him in the outer hall, "You know, what did she say to me when she came to me today?"

Xie Lanchi stopped beside him, what? A sweet love story? still……

"She said let me not kill you." Li Rongxiu watched him.

Xie Lanchi thought she had heard it wrong, so she told Li Rongxiu not to kill him?

He looked at the moonlight outside the temple and slowly looked at Li Rongxiu, "Do you think you can kill me?"

Li Rongxiu smiled, "I can't, but Gu Zeneng." He said without concealment: "Li Rongzhao doesn't listen to you like this now. If I exchange with Gu Ze, I will leave Kyoto forever and kill you for him. What do you think? Will he kill you?"

Xie Lanchi frowned and said coldly: "How can you leave Kyoto so easily."

"I didn't do it before, now I will." Li Rongxiu looked at him with a firm gaze, "If I say that I will come back this time just to take Qiao Sha away, do you believe it?"

he believe.

Xie Lanchi believed Li Rongxiu's words very much at this moment, because... he was just like him.
