Night falls.
Tao Guizhi had just finished taking a bath and was still tired.
She sat in front of the mirror and let two maids wipe her hair. Although these two men served her, they also monitored her.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside: "My dear Goddess, the chef wants to ask you if you want to drink white fungus and mung bean soup?"
Hearing this name, Tao Guizhi was stunned for a moment.
The memory suddenly returned to the time when she was still in the Xie family. When she went to the kitchen, she saw the cook simmering white fungus and mung bean soup. She laughed at that time. It was strange that these two ingredients were put together. After asking, she Knowing that it was made in Aunt Jiang's hometown, she went to Aunt Jiang to ask for a bowl to taste it. From then on, she also started to drink Tremella Mung Bean Soup.
After she left Xie's house, she hadn't had white fungus and mung bean soup for a long, long time.
Why did the chef suddenly ask her this question?
Could it be——
Tao Guizhi remembered that three days ago, when she was giving nectar, she saw Aunt Jiang and Sister Xian.
At that time, Aunt Jiang did not show anything strange, and she herself was wearing a veil. She thought that Aunt Jiang did not recognize her.
It seems that her identity has been leaked.
Did Aunt Jiang come here to ask her for hush money?
Tao Guizhi squinted her eyes and thought for a while, knowing clearly that she shouldn't go.
But for some reason, she still walked towards the kitchen. Did she want to take a sip of white fungus and mung bean soup, or did she want to meet an old friend?
Two maids followed behind her. She said coldly: "Go and iron the clothes you will wear tomorrow."
The clothes were unique in the world. They had to be ironed and smoothed every day so that they would be easy to wear the next day. The two maids did not dare to slack off and went to do this immediately.
Tao Guizhi then walked into the kitchen, and a person dressed as a cook came towards her carrying a bowl of soup.
Even if the cook didn't raise her head, she could still recognize that the person in front of her was Aunt Jiang who had entered Xie's house with her.
Aunt Jiang lowered her head and said, "I'll take the soup back to the camp for the Heavenly Lady."
Tao Guizhi walked out and reached a quiet place where there was no one. Then he turned around and said in a cold voice: "What are you doing here? Do you know where this place is? As long as I shout now, you will be killed." It’s a different place!”
Aunt Jiang knew that this trip was very risky, but she had to make this trip, even if she knew her head was missing, she still had to come in person.
She raised her head and said: "You are now the goddess of heaven respected by all the people. If those people know that you have abandoned your own children, how can a person who has even given up his own children protect the general public? Do you think that those people Will I still respect you?"
Tao Guizhi sneered: "Why don't you say it first, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything." Aunt Jiang shook her head, "Can you come out of here now? Someone wants to see you."
Tao Guizhi paused for a moment and then asked tentatively: "Queen Mother?"
"It's Brother Kang."
As soon as Aunt Jiang said these words, Tao Guizhi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
The reason why she fell into Xie Shi'an's hands was because Xie Shi'an hid Kang Ge'er and asked her to do her job well before allowing her to see Kang Ge'er.
She begged many times, but Xie Shian didn't let go.
She can only pretend to be the goddess of heaven first, and then reunite with Brother Kang and his son after her great cause is accomplished...
"Time is running out." Aunt Jiang whispered, "If the two sides start fighting tomorrow, Brother Kang may..."
"I'll go, where are you?"
Without any hesitation, Tao Guizhi followed Aunt Jiang from a remote corner through a small forest to the westernmost side of the camp.
Under a big tree, there was a figure standing, wearing black clothes. It looked unreal. In the arms of the figure, there was a child.
"It's so dark... breasts, I'm afraid."
Xie Shikang hugged Yuanshi's neck tightly, his voice trembling.
Yuanshi patted his back and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. There are stars in the sky. If you look up at the stars, you won't be afraid."
At this time, the two women gradually approached.
Yuanshi recognized Aunt Tao at a glance.
Tao Guizhi looked at the child, as if she was afraid that the child would run away. She stared closely with both eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Kang?"
"It's Brother Kang!" Mrs. Yuan protected the child behind her and said coldly, "Back then, Brother Kang wanted to drink milk, but you, the mother-in-law, just abandoned him and walked away! Now Brother Kang doesn't need to drink milk. Now that I’m pregnant, I don’t need you as a mother anymore! If Aunt Jiang hadn’t begged me to come, I wouldn’t have been able to bring Brother Kang to see you! Okay, now that we’ve met you, I should go!”
"No..." Tao Guizhi grabbed Yuanshi's arm, "Let me give you a hug, okay?"
Yuanshi refused.
She forcibly stepped forward, grabbed the child's shoulders, and snatched Xie Shikang over. Xie Shikang was so frightened that he burst into tears.
"Brother Kang, I am mother, I am your mother..." Tao Guizhi also cried, "It is my mother who is sorry for you. My mother knows that I was wrong. We will never be separated again..."
"Don't you see that the child is about to cry and hold his breath? Let go!" Yuan pushed Tao Guizhi away and hugged Xie Shikang for a long time. Xie Shikang fell asleep when he was tired of crying.
"After you left, Kang Geer couldn't even take a sip of milk. It was Chu'er, the current Queen Mother, who sent a ewe after giving birth. Kang Geer relied on that ewe to survive. Come down." Yuanshi burst into tears, "In this world, only Chu'er is worthy of being Kang Ge'er's mother. If you want Kang Ge'er to recognize you, you have to repay Chu'er's kindness. Otherwise, in this life, I will never Let Brother Kang call you mother!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Tao Guizhi cried so heartbroken that she knelt on the ground.
Aunt Jiang looked at her and said, "Now that you are working for King Cheng, you are standing on the opposite side of the Queen Mother. I am afraid you will never be able to recognize Brother Kang in this life."
"Why, why..." Tao Guizhi hammered her chest, "You all threaten me with your children, what can I do, what can I do..."
She suppressed her tears.
"Without the Queen Mother, there would be no Kang brother living well." Aunt Jiang said slowly, "You have to repay the kindness of the Queen Mother, and you also have to accumulate virtue for Brother Kang. Now that you are the goddess of heaven, it is true to repay the kindness and accumulate virtue. It’s too easy.”
Tao Guizhi murmured: "It's useless, it's useless..."
Those common people followed Cheng Wang not just because she was a heavenly goddess, but more because of the medicine in the nectar.
"This is the antidote." Aunt Jiang took out a big baggage from behind, which was full of medicinal powder. "If you think clearly, put this into the so-called nectar... The lives of everyone in the world are in your hands. Come on, if you save the common people, you will be worthy of being a true goddess of heaven and worthy of being Kang Geer’s mother. Okay, I’ll finish this and leave first.”
In the night, Tao Guizhi slowly returned to his tent with his baggage in hand.
As soon as I sat down on the couch, a voice sounded from outside: "Thank you, sir!"
