late night song

Chapter 128 Make waves again
There were pursuers behind him, and Gu Yuchu led Lejia Pengkang in a roundabout way. Fortunately, the elite troops sent by Lejia Huanyu arrived in time and cut off the path of the pursuers.In this way, taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them traveled by water and successfully arrived at Yuquan Palace late at night three days later.

Gu Yuchu thought that this operation was much smoother than expected. After she personally sent Lejia Pengkang into the palace of the king, she said goodbye and left. However, before she could leave the courtyard, she was invited back by the internal prison officer, saying that he was the king. Discuss important matters.

Since he was not in a hurry anyway, Gu Yuchu felt that it was not a bad idea to go back and ask for some fruit to fill his stomach, so he stopped insisting.

In the sleeping hall, Le Jia Huanyu lay haggardly on the couch.

His eyes were sunken, his lips were pale, and he looked like he was seriously poisoned and terminally ill. There were many silver needles stuck on the back of his palms and on his chest. It was probably these silver needles that closed his heart veins and inhibited the development of poison. Speed ​​allowed him to linger and wait for his son's safe return.

"Father." Seeing his father lying so weakly, Lejia Pengkang knelt down loudly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Kang'er. Don't cry." Le Jia Huanyu comforted softly.

"Who is it? Tell me, I will cut him into pieces and smash his bones into ashes!" The 14-year-old boy's eyebrows burned with anger and his eyes turned red.

"Come, child. Take this brocade box. It contains the succession edict, military talismans and shadow tokens. There is still a long way to go in the future, and I can't go with you as a father." Le Jia Huanyu stroked his hands with trembling hands. The son's forehead was filled with reluctance, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

"No! I don't want it, I want my father to be with me forever." Lejia Pengkang cried uncontrollably and hit the edge of the bed with his fists.

"Don't cry!"

Lejia Huanyu used all his strength to angrily rebuke such a fragile son, and then with a hoarse cough, Lejia Pengkang barely suppressed his emotions, anxiously following the uneven chest for his father.

"Son, you must keep what I say to you as a father firmly in your heart and never forget it for a moment. Do you understand?"

Lejia Pengkang nodded vigorously with tears streaming down his face.

"First, all matters in the court must be carefully discussed with Grand Sima. Although he has an upright temper, he is the most loyal minister of Hehe." Le Jia Huanyu coughed twice and continued to entrust him, "Second Second, don't trust either Qi Jian or Ling Ziyu. Third, the woman outside the door can protect you for a while, so you must make good use of it."

"Gu Yuchu?" Lejia Pengkang said in a daze.

"My child, the hope of the Lejia clan falls on you. The journey in the future will be difficult and difficult. It doesn't matter if you can't survive. Father doesn't blame you. He only hopes that you can live a happy and healthy life."

At this point, he could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes. The gray tears flowed down his withered face and dripped onto the back of Peng Kang's hand. They were cold but enough to burn his skin.

"Go and ask her to come in personally. I have something to say to her." Le Jia Huanyu wiped her tears and called her son to invite Gu Yuchu into the palace.

As the palace door opened, Lejia Pengkang stepped out of the threshold with red and swollen eyes. He walked up to Gu Yuchu and said nothing. He just hugged her gently and then held her hand tightly. Entered the hall again.

Gu Yuchu was suspicious and his mind was running rapidly, wondering what Le Jia Huanyu was planning.

But when she saw the withered-looking Lord Hehe, her mind turned over and over again. No matter how hard he tried to plan, after all, it was just a father's exhaustion for the future of his children. Why should she speculate on him so maliciously.

"Thank you for saving the child."

Gu Yuchu was thinking about whether to salute and what kind of salute was appropriate. At this moment, Le Jia Huanyu called out her name with difficulty.

"Yuchi Yuchu."

Gu Yuchu's eyes widened and he looked in shock at the dying noble son in front of him.

"Don't be surprised, I know much more about your life experience than you do."

"What do you mean?"

"The Yuchi clan has nothing to say, but don't you want to know about your mother?" Le Jia Huanyu coughed several times.

Gu Yuchu didn't say anything. She was indeed too young when the family changed. She had only been to her grandfather's house once, and her mother rarely talked about her family background and past.

She only knew that her mother was the daughter of a silk merchant. She had a good relationship with Chang Xinyi, Qiji's mother, when she was studying at Sanxing Academy. After Chang Xinyi married into Dongqi, her mother came to Dongqi as her dowry, and she Chang Xinyi was the matchmaker for her father's marriage. Other than that, she knew nothing about her mother.

So when Le Jia Huanyu raised this question, she was indeed full of curiosity, but at the same time, suspicion also arose spontaneously.If her mother is not what she thought, how should she accept it.

"Your mother's surname is not Gu, and your maternal grandfather is not a silk merchant." "You're talking nonsense!" For some reason, Gu Yuchu had a bad premonition, and she immediately denied it with a loud voice, which was very embarrassing.

"Her surname is Lejia. She is my cousin. She is a rebellious traitor who defected from another country... She is also a contributor to my Hehe."

"Rebellious ministers and traitors? Heroic ministers?" Gu Yuchu looked at him in disbelief.

"You have already guessed it, right?" Le Jia Huanyu smiled and continued, "Yuchi's decline, Dongqi's loss in the north, and Beiling's self-defeating, all of which have more advantages than disadvantages for Hehe, and you My mother is the key to driving these plans!”

"You're lying. My mother would never hurt my father, let alone Qi Zhen's mother-in-law." Gu Yuchu was so confused that she obviously couldn't believe it at all.

"The sisters of the Chang family communicated frequently. It happened that Beiling supported Qi Sheng in his rebellion. They were concerned about the safety of their aunt and wanted to manipulate it. As the messenger, your mother naturally had the best chance to manipulate the news. You said, if this is exaggerated With the situation on the front line, can Chang Xinyi still be able to sit still? Your mother could have passed on the news through other channels and distanced herself from the relationship, but she just entered the palace in a swagger. You said that with your mother's identity, how could Emperor Ming not do it? Do you suspect the Yuchi family’s ulterior motives?”

Lejia Huanyu paused and signaled Lejia Pengkang to hand him a sip of tea. The future new emperor was very obedient and handed it over smoothly.

Gu Yuchu felt anxious and did not reach out to pick it up.

She vaguely remembered that her mother had indeed entered the palace during that extraordinary period.According to the situation at that time, in order not to get angry, my father also warned my mother to keep a distance from Concubine Yi. They had a dispute about this, and she happened to catch her, so they all had some impressions.

But even so, it does not prove that her mother deliberately delivered false news, exposed her whereabouts, deliberately framed the Yuchi family, and made Chang Xinyi mess around.

"Even if it was to cause a conflict between Dong Qi and Beiling, why would my mother destroy her own future and continue to lurk in Dong Qi under the cover of the Yuchi family? Wouldn't it be better to plan for He He?" she asked rhetorically.

"Do you know why your mother, who was originally the princess of Hehe County, became a traitor and a traitor and ended up living in another country?"

"Don't tell me it's because of the Yuchi clan!" Gu Yuchu seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and instinctively objected loudly, resisting.

"You are as smart as your mother. In the past, if Yuchihong hadn't fomented discord and encouraged you in every possible way, your grandfather wouldn't have attempted to usurp the throne, and ended up in disaster. If it hadn't been for your grandfather's hatred of Yuchihong I thought of an escape route in advance and sent my wife and daughter to Beiling in advance, so that I could save a trace of blood. In order to keep her name anonymous, your grandmother had no choice but to remarry a merchant named Gu, and she was able to disappear from the world from then on. "

Gu Yuchu didn't respond, her mind was in chaos!
What is true and what is false!What's the point of all these right and wrong, grudges and grudges that bother her?
"Even if you killed my grandfather, how could my mother be willing to be used by you? Isn't this a big joke?"

"Private grudges are not worth mentioning compared with the fate of the country. Your mother is a woman of great wisdom. She can put aside her personal grudges and fight for the glory of her mother clan."

"I don't know if she is as righteous as you said, but my mother is extremely gentle and kind. Even if she wants revenge, she cannot ignore the safety of me and my brother!"

"That's natural, so she arranged to send you and Jing Heng away before the incident happened. But you refused, so she had no choice but to set the fire to cover your escape."

"impossible!"

Gu Yuchu couldn't help but shed tears. If all this was true, then she herself was the murderer of her mother!She tried to calm down from the overwhelming emotions and asked Le Jia Huanyu coldly.

"In that case, where is my brother now?"

"He was killed by bandits near Huai'en County. This king is sorry for my cousin."

"What do you want to do by making up such a big lie? I have nothing worthy of your use!" Gu Yuchu refused to believe every word he said and denied everything with sideways eyes.

"This booklet is for you. It contains everything about your mother."

Le Jia Huanyu asked Peng Kang to hand her the booklet on the pillow, and continued: "The dying person also speaks well. I came to you just to tell you the truth and let you know what a person your mother is." A brave and righteous man.”

"Then I already know. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Gu Yuchu didn't open the book, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.There was too much news for her to digest and sort out today, and she needed to find a quiet place to think about it.

"Sister. Don't leave."

Lejia Pengkang took her hand and looked at her aggrievedly.

Gu Yuchu broke away without hesitation and walked away.
