Chapter 14

Seeing that the Empress Dowager almost fell, Lady Lu thought it was because she suddenly stood up after sitting for a long time, so she did not feel strange. She just went forward to hold the Empress Dowager's arm and said softly,

"Slow down, I'll see you off …"

The Empress Dowager blushed and did not dare to let Lady Lu support her. She smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine …" She held Qiao E's arm to support her body, "I sat for a long time just now, and my legs are a little numb, but it's okay … It's just a few steps, you don't need to see me off, I'll go first …"

"Oh, okay, see you, Empress Dowager …"

Lady Lu blinked and did not stand on ceremony. After a few steps, she watched the Empress Dowager go away, but not long after, she frowned slightly.

The Empress Dowager walked at a moderate pace, and when she walked, her white ankles were exposed under her red dress, flickering …

Xu Buling also noticed that when she got up in a hurry just now, the Empress Dowager was a little flustered and only wore a dress …

Xu Buling had a bad feeling, so he said, "Aunt Lu, the Empress Dowager is a little talkative, and her nagging gives me a headache …"

Lady Lu thought that the Empress Dowager was not wearing socks, so she immediately looked away and sat down on the stool, shaking her head and chuckling.

"The Empress Dowager has been living in the palace for a long time, so she has always been talkative. After all, she is an elder, and what she says is also reasonable, so it's good to listen to her …"

Xu Buring had just reined in his horse at the brink of a precipice. His breathing was a little unstable.

"I know."

Lady Lu smiled gently and was about to pick up the fruit box when she suddenly found a few water stains at the door. She looked up at the eaves, "The house is leaking? Why is there water on the floor … "As he spoke, he prepared to enter the house to take a look.

Xu Buling's face was slightly stiff, and he quickly raised his hand to hold Lady Lu's wrist, chuckling,

"The rain on the umbrella, it's not leaking … Aunt Lu, take a rest, you have white hair …"

“？”

Lady Lu was stunned, but women naturally cared about this. She raised her hand to touch the bun, sat down again, and put her hair in front of Xu Buling,

"Really? Pull it out … "

Xu Buling pretended to look for it, then shook his head, "I'm really tired, but I still need to rest early. Call me if you need anything."

Mrs. Lu heaved a sigh of relief as she tidied up her hair and chuckled, "I'm indeed tired today. Rest early then. Call me if there's anything."

"Okay."

…

…

The Empress Dowager walked out of the bamboo forest in a daze. She felt a chill on her body and kept tightening her skirt. Her face alternated between red and white. However, with so many guards and palace maids following behind her, she had no choice but to put on a dignified and cold appearance.

Qiao 'e supported the Empress Dowager, who was floating. There was a strange look in her eyes, but when she saw the Empress Dowager's murderous expression, she didn't dare to ask.

It was not the Qiang Dowager, but she knew, but Song was. Dowager had said. said. Lu, "Dowager" was not. Dowager.

The room was not as big as Empress Empress Empress Dowager's bedroom, but it was fully furnished. The bedding had been changed by the maid, and her favorite snacks and tea were placed on the table.

When the Empress Dowager arrived at her temporary room, she chased all the maids out, closed the door and windows, and sat at the round table, sulking. She could not help but tremble when she recalled the scene just now.

"You speak gently, but you're still like a barbarian … You're …"

The Empress Dowager stomped her feet in anger. She pulled up her skirt to take a look, and her face turned red again. She did not know how she came back just now …

She stood up in a hurry and searched in the suitcase she carried with her. She had brought a change of clothes, but they were all at Qiao E's place. She could not ask Qiao E to send them to her. What if she asked where her clothes went …

"This evil creature …"

The Empress Dowager was confused. She wanted to smash a teacup, but she was afraid of disturbing the maids. She could only walk back and forth in the room to vent her anger.

After calming down, the Empress Dowager walked to the suitcase and took out the small red wooden plate. She took out a carving knife and sat down on the soft couch. Under the light of the lamp, she carefully carved the word "Lower" on the "Lower" …

But when she just carved one point, the Empress Dowager frowned and hesitated.

Did I count it once or not …

I was interrupted by Hong Luan, but it did not count …

Wouldn't he have committed such a great crime for nothing?

The Empress Dowager frowned and opened her mouth to curse, but she did not know what to say.

"Who cares. Anyway, I went in. Three times is three times … It's useless to say more …"

The Empress Dowager muttered and finished carving the word "Lower" seriously. She sneered and felt that something was wrong.

Why did it look like she had taken advantage of him … It was obviously a big loss …

No, I'm helping that stinky man. If it doesn't work, it doesn't count. If I don't get the antidote in the end, I'll suffer for nothing and die for nothing …

The Empress Dowager held the small wooden plate, and her eyes were conflicted. The more she thought about it, the stranger she felt. She held the plate and did not know what to do.

The house was silent. After an unknown period of time, a familiar and gentle voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Why did you carve this?"

"It has nothing to do with you …"

After the Empress Dowager replied with a cold face, her expression suddenly froze. She covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming and hid the wooden plate behind her waist with her other hand. She turned around and looked to the side in fear.

Beside the soft couch, Xu Buling, dressed in white, stood quietly with a lotus Tibetan carp in his hand. He had a friendly smile on his face. "I left something in the room, so I brought it to you …" As he spoke, he sat down on the soft couch and leaned forward to approach the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with panic and anger. She leaned back on the soft pillow with one hand covering her mouth and the other holding the plate. In a hurry, she could only raise her left leg and put the tip of her foot on Xu Buling's chest to stop him.

Her foot was as white as jade and showed a crystal clear luster in the dim light.

Xu Buling was stopped by the tip of her foot. He tilted his head to look at her leg and raised his eyebrows.

The Empress Dowager suddenly reacted. She wanted to withdraw her leg and press her red skirt with her hand, but she did not expect her foot to be held by someone.

Xu Buling chuckled. He held her slightly arched foot and kissed it.

"Woo …"

The Empress Dowager was about to go crazy. She shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.

She said in a trembling voice, "Qiao E … Qiao E is in the side room … Let's talk …"

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows. "Just say it, I'm listening …"

The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly flashed. She thought for a while and said, "Just now … just now, does that count?"

"Plus now, it's one time …"

"Oh … I said a hundred times … I'll kill myself if it's enough …"

"Okay."

"… You … Be more direct. Don't make such a mess …"

"Hmph …"

"…"

The night rain fell, and the lights went out silently …
