Chapter 224
Sitting on the sedan chair, Gongsun Qing closed his eyes and rested his mind, all he could think about was what he experienced in the palace today.

Now the emperor seems to know that his health is deteriorating, but there is nothing he can do.

And there are very few heirs in the harem who can inherit the great line. Even if the emperor wants to abdicate, he is afraid that the country will be handed over to others.

In fact, compared with Prime Minister Zuo, Gongsun Qing could control very few favorable situations. Even if the ministers of the court and the central government contended against Prime Minister Zuo, it would be very difficult to completely eradicate Prime Minister Zuo based on the ten princes alone.

If the Seventh Prince wasn't a fool, there might be room for all of this to be reversed, but today when he saw the Seventh Prince and found that he looked like this, Gongsun Qing suddenly felt like he was aimless.

When he arrived at the palace, he just got out of the sedan chair and saw a woman in a white Taoist robe with a bundle on her back, talking to the guards.

Gongsun Qing didn't recognize who this person was for a moment, so he stepped up the steps and asked, "What happened?"

The woman looked back, she was stunned for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on her face: "My lord, don't you remember me?"

Gongsun Qing looked at this somewhat familiar face, but couldn't react for a while.

"you are……"

"Yu Xue! I'm Yu Xue!" She looked at Gongsun Qing with joy.

Only then did Gongsun Qing recognize that the person in front of him was Yu Xue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He was very surprised and asked, "Why are you back?"

"Sister Shishi sent someone to bring the letter to the Butterfly Valley before, and the master allowed me to come down the mountain, so I came back."

Gongsun Qing suddenly remembered what Li Shishi had written before, and hurriedly said: "Then come in quickly, your sister Shishi just gave birth, I guess I don't know about your return, I think I must be very happy to see you."

"Sister Shishi gave birth, is it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a little boy." Gongsun Qing smiled, "Let's go in and talk."

"Okay." Yu Xue smiled sweetly, and hurried into the palace with the package on her back.

Gongsun Qing changed his clothes and took Yu Xue to the bedroom.

At that time, Li Shishi had just finished feeding the child and was drinking the chicken soup brought by Qingyan.

When Qingyan said that the prince came back with a girl, Li Shishi never thought that this person would be Yu Xue.

And when Yu Xue followed Gongsun Qing into the house, Li Shishi didn't recognize that this person was Yu Xue at all.

She stared at the person in front of her in a daze for a long time before asking Gongsun Qing: "My lord, this is..."

"I'm Yu Xue." Yu Xue looked at her with a smile.

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Shishi's eyes.

So many years have passed, and now Yu Xue has reached the age of seventeen or eighteen years old. In addition, she studied pharmacology and medical skills with Taoist Duliu in Butterfly Valley. Not only has she grown taller, but she has also lost a lot of weight. It has become a wheat color.

Now that she is wearing this white Taoist robe, she actually looks like a cultivator.

This is how Li Shishi could recognize her.

"What? I don't know you anymore?" Gongsun Qing looked at Li Shishi who was still in a daze and asked with a smile.

Li Shishi just looked at Yu Xue and forgot to say anything.

It wasn't until Yu Xue sat beside her bed and took her hand that Li Shishi finally came back to her senses.

Reaching out to touch her face, she asked in disbelief, "Why have you changed so much?"

"When you grow up, people will always change. How are you, sister? I heard that you just gave birth. How is your body?"

As Yu Xue spoke, she put her hand on Li Shishi's pulse, and after a while she smiled and said, "Except for some qi deficiency, everything else is fine."

They haven't seen each other for so many years, and now they meet again, both of them have changed a lot.

Today's Yu Xue has not only changed a lot, but also has a more heroic look on her brows.

They are completely different from before.

However, Li Shishi's body was recovering, and it was inconvenient for Yu Xue to stay longer, so Gongsun Qing ordered someone to arrange Yu Xue's residence and let her rest temporarily.

Somehow, ever since Yu Xue came back, Li Shishi felt more at ease.

I feel good too.

Knowing that Yu Xue was back, the children hurried to her room to see her.

Wanmiao and Wanran have also changed a lot, the two little followers who followed Yu Xue before, now they are so beautiful and generous.

The three hugged each other, crying and laughing. Although the butler didn't know why, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly prepared the meals and sent them to Yu Xue's room.

He also ordered his servants to take good care of him.

And the other side.

After eating, Gongsun Qing sat by the bed and teased the child.

By the way, the matter of the Seventh Prince was mentioned.

These things can be regarded as expected by Li Shishi.

How many people can serve an unfavored abandoned child, and he is stupid, and the palace people are not a follower, so it is lucky that he can live well.

If one day, they will kill the Seventh Prince in this Lianxiu Palace, I am afraid that the Emperor will never find out.

But what she didn't expect was that the emperor was still thinking about this prince.

Moreover, when Gongsun Qing mentioned what Huang Shan said when he played chess with the emperor today, it is obvious that he has already noticed that there is a problem with the law of longevity, but maybe he has nothing in his heart to rely on, so even though he is clear in his heart, he still wants to cover it up. .

But the emperor must not die, at least not now.

"The reason why Yu Xue can come back is because of the letter I wrote earlier." Li Shishi said bluntly.

"Yu Xue told me today." Gongsun Qing was not surprised by this, but responded very flatly.

"Then do you know why I wrote this letter for her to come?"

"How much can you guess?"

"Actually, I want her master to come here more. After all, the emperor has been so obsessed with the method of longevity recently, and we don't want to get angry, so it's better to hold this matter firmly in our hands."

"I know this well. The purpose of letting Taoist Duliu go down the mountain is also the same. It's just that he absolutely refuses to come."

"Why?" Li Shishi was a little puzzled, "Is there any grievance between them?"

"I really don't know the specifics, but the emperor has ordered several times to leave the Taoist monk alone, but he has been repeatedly rejected. I have never seen him step into the palace gate for so many years. So, although I am very concerned about your method I agree very much, but now it seems that it is not as easy as we thought."

Li Shishi thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "However, if he allows Yu Xue to come down to our place, leaving the Taoist priest alone is also a face for us."

"That's true." Gongsun Qing smiled, and then said: "Taoist Duliu is unrivaled in the world in his ability to cure poison, Yu Xue is so smart and has studied with Taoist Duliu for so long, even if he only learned a little bit, he is better than ordinary people. There are so many great people.”

"That's natural." Yu Xue's voice sounded outside the door.
