Chapter 77 My Death is Not a Pity [Please Read]
While waiting, the tall elder sister glanced at the side and couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "Miss, please don't pull it down. It looks really good."
The girl next to her, who was more than a head shorter than her, raised her little face with a gloomy expression, like a grumpy child.
"...Jade Certificate."
She reached out and pulled at the hem of her 'fat' and 'long' skirt, and said in a depressed tone: "Is this really the clothes you wore when you were ten years old?"
Yudie uttered the word "uh" halfway through, and when he saw her coming over, he quickly said, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly? Maybe he was fourteen or fifteen years old."
"Fourteen? Fifteen?"
"fifteen!"
Wu Tongtong felt relieved upon hearing this. She was only twelve and still had a lot of growth to go. In the words of the imperial physician, her growth would grow rapidly after the New Year, and by then it would be no problem for her to surpass Wei Mingqi in the imperial edict.
Dengdengdeng.
Footsteps came over in the yard. Wu Tongtong, who was thinking about how tall he had to be to look majestic, straightened his back, and the aura of a 'superior' appeared on his face.
Not long after——
"Who are you two?"
"..."
Looking at the gorgeous woman in front of her, Wu Tongtong stood there in a daze. It was the jade tablet beside her that answered for her: "Sister, can Master Wei live here?"
The slender and cold phoenix eyes swept over and lingered on the delicate girl who looked like a porcelain doll for a moment, then stepped aside and nodded:
"Yes, please come in."
"..."
Yudie nodded and thanked him. Seeing that the emperor's eyes were still on the incredibly beautiful woman, he could not help but gently pull on her skirt to remind her:
"Miss?"
Wu Tongtong finally came to her senses. Although it was her first time meeting the 'Heavenly Official' Xie Beiling, she was not unfamiliar with him. She had doubts in her heart before, but she finally understood after they met -
No wonder the traitor was obsessed with leaving the palace.
Wu Tongtong suppressed the strangeness in her heart and nodded to Xie Beiling calmly.
"Thank you, sir."
"..."
In the side room, Wei Mingqi, who was packing his luggage, heard the noise and walked into the yard. When he saw Qingmei, he was stunned at first, then he leaned against the wall and panted with laughter:
"Tongtong, you came to mop the floor for me? Where did you steal the adult clothes from?"
Wu Tongtong, who had been trying to keep calm in the courtyard, lost his composure instantly after hearing these words. His smile froze on his face, and he said with some embarrassment:
"Wei Mingqi, are you so presumptuous in front of your master?"
"..."
Seeing that she was behaving so abnormally, Wei Mingqi didn't dare to continue making fun of her.
Are you really angry? Normally, he would just do a set of dragon punches and dragon kicks, but now he is really like a little adult.
"So why are you here?"
He walked over to me with a serious look and asked, "If you have anything to do, can't you just ask Liu Yue to come and call me? You're not going to go back after sneaking over here? Let your aunt know that everyone around you will be punished."
Unlike the royal family in the southwest, Wu Tongtong is the only one in Guanzhong. To put it bluntly, if Wanrenshan lost the imperial court, she could still hold on, but if she lost her court ministers, she would have to go south to welcome the royal army the next day.
At this time, Yu Die, who had been with the emperor day and night, had a premonition that the emperor was going to have another "attack". He was pulling her clothes to remind her of the purpose of this trip, but the latter shook her hand and said to Wei Mingqi:
"Why, you mean I can't even protect the people around me?"
"..."
Yudie watched helplessly as the emperor was emitting sparks like a firecracker:
"Besides, who are you, the Commander of Wei? When the Queen of Heaven comes to power, you can fight anyone she wants, and kill anyone the Emperor's relatives say. Can you be summoned by someone like Liu Yue? I don't think so highly of myself." "..."
Mei Xing and her aunt and nephew were all watching the fun at the door. Because they were dressed differently and hadn't seen each other for a long time, they didn't dare to recognize him at first. It was not until the topic became more explicit that Shi Fengque looked at his nephew beside him in shock, and his rosy lips opened and closed silently:
'emperor--'
"..."
Shi Fengguan's peach blossom eyes were calm as she leaned against the door with her arms folded, but her fingers, which were slightly sunk in, revealed her inner thoughts.
'emperor'
From the day when she seemed to have seen her abilities from the brief introduction of the hexagram, these two words became her nightmare.
'You will be found', 'You will be killed', 'You will spend your whole life serving others'
Similar fears had accompanied Shi Fengguan for several years, so much so that when the real culprit showed up, her first instinct was to kill.
until--
A voice was heard in the courtyard, and Shi Fengguan's boiling heart seemed to be thrown into a piece of black ice, and all his anxieties were soothed in an instant.
"Does this have to happen every time we meet?"
Her brother was just like she knew him to be. He turned his face and said, "Are you a firecracker? If you can't talk properly, I will beat you up right now."
"you--"
Wu Tongtong came forward with red eyes and stiff neck:
"Kill me! Just pretend that I'm blind! I knew you were a traitor but I trusted you again and again! My death is not a pity!"
"..."
On the wall, Yizhi Meixing observed the man's expression and found it to be extremely ugly, so she couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
It's still important.
If it were someone else, he would have been slapped on the head so hard that it would have turned several times. Why would he be so upset?
Below, Xie Beiling came over and tried to lead the calf-like emperor aside, but found that the girl was very stubborn.
So she gave Wei Mingqi a look.
"..."
Wei Mingqi adjusted his emotions and finally calmed down a bit. Thinking carefully, he realized that the reason why he and Wu Tongtong had come to this point was probably because of their different positions.
From the perspective of a superior, his actions were too out of line, and even he admitted it. Qingmei happened to be one of the most powerful people in the world, which was the source of the conflict.
The friendship of our youth could not stop the tide of this world.
"I will resign after the new year and give an explanation to the court and your aunt."
He softened his tone and looked at the girl: "I have been blessed by the palace for the past few years. I will remember the favor. In the future, I will repay you with the entire Lu land. In this way, we will be even. I will send you back now--"
There was a fire burning in Wu Tongtong's chest, and she wanted to groan, but she still held it back, staring at him with red eyes filled with tears:
"Well, then I really got a great deal."
"It's good to know, little girl——"
Mei Xing climbed down from the wall, and said with a smile, "Do you really think that throwing a few bones will make people grateful and serve you like dogs? Whether it's my young master or the old servant in the palace, they can get worldly wealth and honor. You just rely on the little friendship you had when you were in a low position to bully others~"
Wei Mingqi glanced over, and Yu Qing stopped when he saw that things were going well, snorting, "Let's go, I'll take you back, and you can go back to the palace and show off your power."
"No need to bother—"
Outside the courtyard gate, a strong old man came in with his hands behind his back as if visiting a friend, nodded to the few people and said:
"I'll send her back."
