famous eldest daughter

Chapter 486
After Gu Yuqing and Xiao Ke's emotions recovered a little, Xiao Yu spoke curiously: "When did you enter the palace?"

Sitting side by side with Gu Yuqing, Xiao Ke's little face now looked the same as that of a normal ten-year-old child. He no longer had the poise of a young man, nor the indifference that would repel people thousands of miles away.

Tears streaked across his cheeks, and the candlelight shone on them, and his handsome features even looked a little childish.

After getting Xiao Yu's question, he turned his head to look at Gu Yuqing, Xiao Ke said, "I heard from my uncle that he sent me into the palace when I was five months old."

five months...

Gu Yuqing's mouth suddenly trembled... The child she had fostered for five months was suddenly replaced by someone, and Concubine Xian didn't even notice... I don't know whether to say she is big-hearted or what to say.

After sighing, Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Ke again, but her eyes were filled with distress.

Being neglected and indifferent by his adoptive mother to such an extent, from a five-month-old swaddled baby who didn't understand anything to a ten-year-old boy now, Gu Yuqing didn't dare to think about how difficult the dark life Xiao Ke had experienced in the past ten years.

As long as she thought about it briefly, she felt pain in her heart and lungs, as if someone was pricking her with a sharp needle.

Xiao Yu is obviously much calmer than Gu Yuqing, and what he considers goes beyond the circle of family ties and has more aspects.

One of the two people must be awake.

"What about the child from before? Did you know that you were sent in to take his place? Where did he go?" Xiao Yu asked.

When Xiao Yu asked this question, Xiao Ke thought that he regarded the previous child as his younger brother, so he immediately said: "The child before me was not the biological child of Little Master Tang. I heard from my uncle that the child before me was not the biological child of Little Master Tang." Next, it's a princess."

After a pause in his tone, Xiao Ke added: "As for the boy before me, I don't know where my uncle put him. After all, I was only five months old when I went in." As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. A sly wry smile.

The atmosphere in the room gradually relaxed with his wry smile with a teasing meaning, and the air became fresh again.

"Why did father send you to the palace instead of raising you in our house?" There were so many doubts in his mind that Gu Yuqing could no longer distinguish between priorities. He picked out one of the questions and asked .

Mentioning this, Xiao Ke's face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly showed a serious look of pain. The memories were too heavy for his young shoulders to bear.

"I heard from my uncle that when the Gusu family in Qibei was wiped out, I was the only one who was rescued by a monk who hurried away. Uncle didn't dare to reveal the news that I was still alive because I didn't know the reason behind the destruction."

"I don't know how my uncle learned that King Duan had done something secretly. In short, the child adopted by Concubine Zuojiuxian is no longer your Majesty's biological child. Based on the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest place, my uncle secretly changed me again. Got in."

"After that, my uncle has been using the guise of looking for elixirs and medicines. He never leaves the palace day and night, lurking around me secretly. While secretly investigating the events of that year, he carefully protected me from growing up safely until I was three years old. He just showed up because of personnel matters.”

"At that time, my uncle told me the whole story, but I still couldn't understand it, because Concubine Xian always looked at me coldly, and my life in the palace was terrible, when I heard his words suddenly, I was ignorant, But I also know a truth, it turns out that I am not the emperor’s child.”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but frown, "You grew up in the palace and have never met Lord Gu before. Why did you believe him when he told you about your life experience?"

Xiao Ke shook his head, "Because Concubine Xian is indifferent to me, and the wet nurse who takes care of me doesn't care about me. I have no memory of those things that I don't remember, but I still remember some things when I was about three years old."

"Once I caught a cold and had a terrible fever. I couldn't find a wet nurse, so I ran to Concubine Xian crying and told her that I was so sick that I was going to die. I asked her to ask a royal doctor to take a look at me. Up to now, I still can't find a wet nurse. I still remember that because I was too weak from the fever, I almost crawled all the way into Concubine Xian's bedroom. At that time, she was talking to Concubine Duan. Suddenly she saw me entering. Before I could finish my plea, she beat me all over the face, and then asked the maid to take care of her. I threw it out."

"At that time, I only knew that Concubine Xian was not my biological mother. My biological mother was the lowly Master Tang. The three-year-old child already knew a lot about life and death. He was already feeling dizzy and suffered a beating. He got even more top-heavy, stumbled up from the ground, and somehow managed to get around to the back door of Concubine Xian's bedroom."

"Take it as my own room, push the door open and go in. It happened that there was no maid guarding there, so I walked in. After only two or three steps, I heard Concubine Xian and Concubine Duan talking, even if I was sick and confused, I also knew that I was in the wrong place, because I had just been beaten and turned around in fright."

"Just before I moved away, I heard the people inside say: This child is not born to His Majesty, after all, it is different. Even though I adopted him into my palace, Your Majesty and him are not close at all. Look at the wisdom of others." The fourth prince in the imperial concubine's palace, there is no time when your majesty doesn't smile with joy when he sees him, it's a good thing that he is such an evil person, since he has lived in my palace, the emperor has hardly even set foot in the palace gate."

"The person who spoke was Concubine Xian, and the evil obstacle in her mouth was naturally me. She was dizzy with fever, and she was originally chilly, but after she complained through gritted teeth, she broke into a cold sweat."

"Later, I listened to them talking for a while, and when they changed the topic and stopped talking about me, I held on to the wall and walked out. I don't know how I got back to my room. , lying on the bed, pulling the quilt over his head, panicking, and having a fever, he was dazed, crying, and lost consciousness. "

"I woke up in the middle of the night and found myself being held in the arms of a man. He was feeding me medicine one spoon at a time. At that time, it was the first time I met my uncle."

"From then on, he often came out at night and always brought me some delicious meat!" It was obviously a miserable memory, but when he mentioned this sentence, Xiao Ke couldn't help but feel a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, "As a prince, , but I always couldn’t eat enough. The first time he asked me what I wanted to eat, I said I wanted to eat roasted chicken. From then on, every time he came, I could eat roasted chicken.”

Listening to Xiao Ke's memories, Gu Yuqing's eyes were red and swollen from crying, her heart felt like thousands of arrows piercing it, and she was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

"So, on my third birthday, when my uncle told me his life story, I had no doubts at all and accepted everything! At that time, he was the best person to me in the palace. Every night, Teach me how to read, tell me some real or mythical stories, and bring me roast chicken."
