Chapter 197: Do something for them while you're alive
"Wanqing... No, should I call you Anle? Is your love too selfish?
It has always been what you think. Have you ever considered other people's feelings?
If what you said about you being happy is true, then I have no ability to convince myself to help you. I feel like an idiot, being used by you again and again."
Jiao Ziqiao's voice was hoarse and she looked at me with complex and changeable eyes.
"When Yelu Zihan helped He Wang seize my country, you told me to believe you and come with you to Qi Yunguo to find him, and I believed you.
After arriving in Qi Yunguo, I was always worried about you. Your child disappeared out of thin air. Suddenly, Kou Wanqing came to me and repeatedly used my feelings for Liang Anle to make me do things for you.
They said they were going to deal with Yan Li and Yelu Zihan. Now there is another theory. Tell me, what on earth can I believe in your words?"
Jiao Ziqiao listed out my "crimes" one by one, and I realized that I owed her so much without knowing it.
But the promise she made was never fulfilled, and now she is being asked to put herself in danger. She is really not a human being.
"I'm sorry Ziqiao, I didn't expect that I was so selfish."
She was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, so she pushed a plate of preserves on the table in front of her.
"Eat candied fruits. As if I didn't say anything today, I will find another way. However, I may really have to break my promise to find him."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, coming to Qiyunguo with you may not be just for him. I used to have a lucky mentality, but now I have long since woken up."
Jiao Ziqiao picked up a candied fruit and looked at it carefully, but hesitated to eat it.
"Maybe what matters to some things is not the taste itself, but the story behind the taste, the memory of the taste."
Jiao Ziqiao moved to a palace very close to me at my invitation. Because of my relationship, Li Keqing had no restrictions on her movements.
It's just that the palace has become dead silent and has no trace of life anymore. Jiao Ziqiao is also angry with me and doesn't want to walk more with me.
Bian Jishi woke up the same day, and left with Tianya's help while he was semi-conscious.
Li Keqing was afraid that I would have no one to accompany him, so he arranged for Guo Qingyun to come back to me.
After listening to Guo Qingyun talk about his recent experiences, he realized that originally some palace maids and eunuchs were assigned to various places where coolies were needed, without adequate clothing, shelter, and food.
The baby fat that Guo Qingyun had has also disappeared. In just one month, my heart feels painful when I look at it. Just like Jiao Ziqiao said, everything is because of me!
I think I should give something to these people who have sacrificed for me.
While I'm alive, while Li Keqing can still allow me to do something.
"Qingyun, if there are only three months left, what will you do?"
"Build a house for my hometown so that my parents and younger siblings can have food and clothing."
Guo Qingyun said sincerely.
"How many brothers and sisters do you have?"
"Including me, there are six in total. I have three younger sisters and two younger brothers."
I feel ashamed, how much fine would I have to pay in the 21st century?
"That's a lot."
"My family was poor and had no choice, so I entered the palace. I originally thought that with a little salary, my family's life would be easier, but it was useless. The monthly salary was not enough for the family's food rations. My sister..."
"What's wrong?"
Wouldn't it be like the plot of some bloody novel, where she was bought into a brothel and worked as a prostitute?
