The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 212 Separation
Xiao Mingzhang pinched the bridge of her pretty nose and said, "Don't worry, Master Qi is not a fool."

He has been hiding behind his children, seemingly invisible, but in fact he is the real person in charge of the Qi family. It is not difficult to keep an eye on a queen mother who has no real power.

This is the prison pet he created for Qi Meizhi, and he hopes she can "enjoy" it.

At this moment, Qi Meizhi had been persuaded by her father. She stopped being furious. She glanced at her brother and promised against her will, "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for Gu Deyin again. Are you satisfied now?" "

Qi Jinzhi nodded, "Sister, don't worry, I won't let you stay here forever."

Qi Meizhi waved his hand, what's the point of saying this now?
Her son has not yet grown up, and she still has to endure it. To go into complete hibernation is to insert a knife into her heart.

Seeing her father leave with satisfaction, her expression darkened. She took out the bloody clothes she had prepared earlier and handed them to her brother.

"Give this to the emperor and tell him that I miss him very much. I even got sick and vomited blood because of this. Let him not forget that my mother is still suffering."

She couldn't let her son be won over by Xiao Mingzhang. She wanted her son to always remember that Xiao Mingzhang was their enemy.

Qi Jinzhi frowned and looked at the bloody clothes, but did not take it immediately.

"sister……"

"Now, if you still treat me as your biological sister, then do as I say."

Qimei insisted while looking at her brother with a fragile look.

"I'm willing to compromise for you and not cause trouble to Gu Deyin, but you're not even willing to help me with a small favor?"

Speaking of this, even though Qi Jinzhi felt it was inappropriate, she still accepted the bloody clothes. Just when he was about to retract his hand, she grabbed his hand.

"You swear you must do as I say, otherwise you will never get Gu Deyin in your life."

Qi Jinzhi sighed and swore under the gaze of his sister, who then let go of his hand.

Qi Meizhi waved his hand, "You can go back too."

Qi Jinzhi took a deep look at her lonely look, covered up her heartache, and turned to leave.

Qi Meizhi then put away the sadness on her face. She would not sit still and wait for death. There would definitely be a breakthrough.

Her eyes fell on the documents of several auxiliary ministers on the table again, and her hands fell heavily on them. It was time for someone to die.

The old will not go, and the new will not come.

Without Qi Mei's secret assassination, Gu Deyin could travel much more freely.

That day in Xiao Mingzhang's study, she saw the latest report investigating the storage conditions of granaries in various places. She frowned tightly. No wonder Xiao Mingzhang looked so ugly.

"This is all expected, deceiving the superiors and deceiving the inferiors, enriching themselves, it is a common thing."

Xiao Mingzhang was not comforted by these words. The drought this time had not reached the level of disaster relief. If Gu Deyin hadn't reminded him, his attention to this aspect would have been limited.

"Will it really be harder in the next two years?"

Hearing Xiao Mingzhang's question, Gu Deyin nodded heavily. She couldn't tell about rebirth, but it was not difficult to tell the basis.

"Droughts in history often don't end in one or two years. Some last for several years. We'd better be prepared. I don't want to see the tragedy of exchanging food for food."

In this regard, Xiao Mingzhang did not want to see such human tragedy even more than Gu Deyin. He was the regent and this was his responsibility.

"Starting from tomorrow, we will strictly investigate corrupt officials."

Gu Deyin nodded clearly. Seizing the assets of corrupt officials was the fastest way to enrich the national treasury, and the large amounts of land acquired by corrupt officials would also lead to a further concentration of food. This was a plan for later disaster relief.

In addition, she also wants to do her best.

"The climate in the south is suitable for two crops of rice a year. I heard some merchants say that the climate in some places overseas allows rice to be harvested three times a year. If a large amount of rice can be planted in these places, the drought in the north can be alleviated. I plan to Go south in person..."

"No."

Xiao Mingzhang flatly refused without hearing what she said.

Seeing her hesitant expression, he sighed and put his arms around her.

"The climate in the south is hot, miasma is rampant, and the folk customs are fierce. I don't trust you to go there to encourage farming and develop overseas lands. I will do this. You just stay in Beijing obediently. If the court comes forward, it will be better than you fighting alone. Much more.”

He tried to convince people with reason.

Of course Gu Deyin knew that what he said was the right way, but she couldn't just sit around in Beijing and do nothing.

She didn't say any more big words, but said lightly, "I don't want to just hide behind you."

What she wants is to always fly together.

The two of them stared at each other, neither of them willing to give in.

In the end, Xiao Mingzhang gave in. After all, he was unwilling to break off her wings.

"Take the people I assigned you with you. Don't go to dangerous places, let alone act alone..."

He stated more than a dozen conditions in a row. Gu Deyin responded in a good mood, and she was extremely obedient at the moment.

Xiao Mingzhang sighed, knowing that these performances were all bluffing, and she had never been obedient.

Gu Deyin is determined to go south. Not only does Gu Deyin want to grow rice there, but also medicinal materials. After the drought, there will probably be floods, and then the plague will definitely breed.

This was the case in my previous life, with food prices rising, followed by medicinal materials.

Therefore, I have to make plans in advance in this life. This is not only for Xiao Mingzhang, but also because I want to do my part to help everyone in the world get through this difficult time.

Gu Jianghuai was worried about his daughter going south, but he did not stop her. Under such extreme weather, no one could be spared. Since her daughter had the responsibility, let her do it.

However, as soon as Princess Yuanjia returned to Beijing after handling a case, she heard that Gu Deyin was going south and immediately came to meet her.

"Sister Gu, this is too dangerous. I have seen many victims fleeing the disaster all the way back to Beijing. It is not a wise move to go south at this moment."

Gu Deyin said, "I have made up my mind, there is no need for the princess to persuade me."

Princess Yuanjia looked at Gu Deyin's stubborn look and couldn't help but sigh. In the end, she didn't say anything. After returning, she went to make trouble with her brother. She felt that it was useless for her brother to keep Gu Deyin in the capital.

Xiao Mingzhang allowed his sister to make trouble. If he hadn't suppressed it with all his strength, he would have regretted it in front of Gu Deyin.

Princess Yuanjia made a fuss to no avail, so she could only send Gu Deyin out of Beijing with red eyes.

Xiao Mingzhang didn't come to the court today, and Gu Deyin wasn't upset either. Everyone was doing their best for the common people in the world, so sometimes there was no need to take it to heart about small loves.

After getting on the carriage, she waved to her father and Princess Yuanjia, beckoning them to go back.

She turned around and sat down in the carriage. Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest her mind, she found someone who shouldn't be there in a hidden part of the carriage. She angrily dragged them out one by one.

"Hua Shu, Hua Chao, you two should get off the carriage immediately and go back. Just have Xiu'er follow me along the way..."

"No, girl, we're not going back."

"Yes, we have to follow you, otherwise we won't be able to feel at ease in the capital."

Hua Shu and Hua Chao insisted that they would not back down no matter what they said this time.

In the past, the girl always took them with her when she went out, but since she took over all the business of the Gu family firm, the girl only took Xiu'er with her when she went on long trips, and they felt lost for a long time.

Later, he practiced martial arts diligently to keep fit, just to keep up with his own girl.

Gu Deyin stroked her forehead, and looking at the two women's firm determination, she finally realized that Xiao Mingzhang was in a dilemma. Sure enough, things were changing, and now it was her turn to suffer retribution.

She first looked at Hua Chao and said, "You and Zhao Mulei are about to get married. Why don't you go back to prepare for your marriage and wait until I return to Beijing to host the wedding for you?"

Hua Chao saw through at a glance that her girl was planning to defeat them one by one, she said immediately.

"Girl, how can Zhao Mulei be more important than you? If he can't wait, then I won't marry him."

Gu Deyin couldn't laugh or cry now. This silly girl didn't even want her future husband for her.

Hua Chao couldn't help but turned her head to look at Hua Shu, ready to show her affection and reason.

Hua Shu spoke first, "Girl, I don't have anyone to marry. I have made up my mind that my sister-in-law will be alone in this life, so I have no worries and can serve the girl wholeheartedly."

Gu Deyin had no choice but to look at Xiu'er.

Xiu'er understood and took out several packets of poison and itching powder from her sleeves. Then she sat down between Hua Shu and Hua Chao and taught them how to use these types of powder. For those who are not familiar with martial arts, using poison is the easiest way. neat.

Hua Shu and Hua Chao studied very seriously, and they naturally valued their wealth and life.

Gu Deyin didn't look at the two fools over there, so he could only roll up the car curtains and look at the fading scenery outside.

Just as she was looking at the place, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. She subconsciously looked back and saw Xiao Mingzhang chasing after him with light.

For a moment, the wind and sand blew into her eyes, making her eyes wet.

I thought he wouldn't come, but in the end he left everyone in the court and came to see her off.

Xiu'er stopped teaching with Hua Shu and Hua Chao, and the three girls remained silent. At this moment, they didn't want to disturb the separated lovers.

Xiao Mingzhang had already rushed in front of Gu Deyin. He controlled the horse to match the speed of the carriage. He gently held Gu Deyin's face and said, "Be sure to take care and remember that I will wait for you in the capital."

Gu Deyin's nose felt sore. She tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to fall. She said a thousand words into just one sentence, "You should also take care."

Lovers here are inseparable. As the imperial envoy heading south this time, Zhong Shiming was surprised at first when he saw this scene, and finally avoided it wisely. However, he still secretly asked the convoy to slow down and did not dare to stop. Come down, after all, no one of the two people over there asked to stop, so he didn't dare to act on his own.

Riding on the horse, looking up at the blue sky, he first greeted God that it was not raining, but then he thought about the first time he met Gu Deyin three years ago. If someone had told him at that time, one day, Gu Deyin would become Xiao Mingzhang's woman. He would have scoffed.

That's all, it's useless to think too much, but it's true that you need to take more care of Gu Deyin on the way south.

Xiao Mingzhang finally reined in his horse and watched Gu Deyin go away into the distance.

He told himself that the separation was for a better reunion next time.

But he didn't know that she and he were almost separated forever.
