Chapter 81 Dilemma
After leaving the Fulin Palace, Gu Yuchu had many thoughts, but she had no time to waste any time. Fortunately, the journey went smoothly. She bypassed all the guards and quickly left the palace.

The street market outside Zhengyang Gate was bustling with people. Gu Yuchu's back was thin and she looked extremely lonely and helpless. She was wandering like a ghost, not caring about bumping into pedestrians.

These days, every word these people said, whether true or false, was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Coupled with his own experiences and suspicions, he pieced together these seemingly unrelated fragments, and the truth emerged.

Gu Yuchu believed that she had found the answer, but at this moment, she was not happy at all. What caught her even more unprepared was that the lintel of the family that had once given her great honor made her feel extremely humiliated when the truth suddenly came. She couldn't help but Sigh, the cause and effect in this world is so cruel.

What should I do in the future?
Is it that he insists on wiping away the dust from Yuchi's decaying lintel despite his ancestors' crimes of murder and cruelty?
Or, for what you think is justice, kill Emperor Ming to avenge the Yuchi clan's innocent family members?

If that's the case, how should he and Gu Yuxin face Qi Jian and the surname Yuchi.

Or if you wait a little longer, Qi frame is not a person who breaks his word, and maybe one day he will fulfill his promise to himself.

But if that day comes, the Yuchi family gets the long-awaited revelation, can I ignore these deceptions and continue to be the daughter-in-law of my enemy regardless of past grudges?

Gu Yuchu didn't know the answer to all of this, and she even began to blame herself. If she hadn't been too self-righteous, overestimating the glory of the Yuchi clan and underestimating the complexity of the truth itself, she wouldn't have ended up in such a dilemma.

Before returning home, Gu Yuchu took a detour to Yipinju to buy roast goose, and then made a grand return to his Linyue Pavilion from the main entrance of the palace, where he hid the queen's handwriting and then started dressing up again.

Two hours have passed since leaving the house. Counting that it was almost time for dinner, Qi Zhen was about to return home.

Recently, he has been busy dispatching the generals of the four armies and has no time to take care of his family. In addition, Gun Nanxi is pregnant, and there is an endless stream of people stationed at the snow platform to congratulate them. This group of noble ladies originally looked down on this commoner princess with no background. She was even more interested in currying favor with Gun Nanxi, completely ignoring her status as the mistress of the house, and no one came to visit her.

So good, the reception was all left to Xu Zhang, and Liansheng was sent away, but no one noticed that Gu Yuchu had been missing for a long time.

She took care of herself and went to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Liansheng greeting the cook and the aunts busy preparing dinner.

"Master, where have you been? I didn't see you when I returned to the house earlier." Liansheng asked in a low voice.

"I was bored and strolled around the market. Seeing how diligent you are, I will leave a goose leg for you after dinner."

"Wow! That's great! Master still loves me the most."

When Liansheng heard about the roasted goose, her eyes turned into crescent moons, showing two tiger teeth, which was very cute. She completely forgot about the task Qi Jian had given her.

"How are the dinner preparations going? Especially the chicken soup with rugosa and atractylodes. Don't be careless at all."

"Master, you really care about the princess's pregnancy." Liansheng was embarrassed for Gu Yuchu, but he had to pretend to be wise and generous against his will. He silently held his injustice and curled his lips.

"Of course, the first born in Prince Qin's palace must be carefully watched." Gu Yuchu looked like he should take it for granted.

"You look so good, I'll go to Anxiang Tower to see Yu Xin."

"That's great." Liansheng rolled his eyes and agreed simply.

Gu Yuchu pursed her lips and smiled before retreating. But before she reached Anxiang Tower, she saw Gu Yuxin sitting slumped in the corridor from a distance. The rose branch in his hand was pulled out and only the stem was left empty, and the petals were scattered. One place.

"Why are you so dazed here? I've prepared delicious food for you for dinner." Gu Yuchu gently sat opposite her and asked with concern.

"Sister." Gu Yuxin greeted weakly.

Gu Yuchu stepped forward and took her sister's hand. She knew exactly why Gu Yuxin was worried at the moment.The child in Gun Nanxi's belly was the common pain in their sisters' hearts, but so what, this child was also the one they had been looking forward to day and night.The two sisters were silent for a while, and then Gu Yuxin said hesitantly: "Sister, you said that he will have more women around him in the future and have more children. If it has nothing to do with us, what should we do?"

"No, you will have your own child one day."

"Is it because we are the guilty queens, so we are not worthy of him..."

"What nonsense?!"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yuchu interrupted her extremely harshly. The word "guilty minister" had always been an unspeakable sting in her heart. No matter how others viewed the Yuchi clan, they could not feel so sorry for themselves.

"I did not mean that….."

Gu Yuxin knew that she had made a mistake, and she blamed herself and looked at her furious sister.

Seeing his sister's fearful expression, Gu Yuchu realized that his reaction had frightened her, so he relaxed his expression slightly and put on his smile again.

"Yu Xin, I have a question to ask you. You have to answer it seriously."

"Yes." Gu Yuxin nodded seriously, but began to feel uneasy in her heart.

"If, I mean if, Qi Jian lied to us and did something unforgivable to us, will you continue to stay with him?"

Gu Yuxin was silent again.

Qi Jian had asked her the same question before, and her answer at that time was yes, because she believed that he would never let her down.

But now Gun Nanxi is pregnant, and her sister asks herself this, which makes her panic. Could it be that her sister has discovered something?Is it about Yuchi’s old case or about the children?If such a day comes, what should she do?

Gu Yuchu held back tears and looked at her sister earnestly. She was not just asking her sister this question, but more like asking herself. But she still didn't have the answer, but she hoped that maybe Gu Yuxin's answer could become her own answer. It’s also unknown.

"I, I can't live without him." Gu Yuxin's tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, "Although I can't imagine what kind of deception it would be, I know that I can't live without him. Sister, I really do Not even."

At this time, Gu Yuchu couldn't bear it anymore. She turned her face sideways and couldn't stop her tears from flowing. Now she was caught between two enemies' surnames, in a dilemma and at a loss.

She didn't want to leave that person, but she could never love and possess him desperately like her sister, because she had the inescapable responsibility entrusted to her by her father on her shoulders.

At this moment, she secretly made up her mind. Since her surname cannot be chosen or changed, even if the Yuchi clan has an indelible dark past, she must not let the word Yuchi be permanently nailed to shame in her hands. On the pillar, she did not want to conceal the truth or distort the facts for the sake of the glory of the lintel, but she also wanted the world and history books to give a fair comment.

"Stop crying, I said it was a hypothetical."

Even though she was suffering to the extreme, Gu Yuchu couldn't bear to tell his sister the whole truth. It was enough to leave her alone, so why bother to disturb their originally happy and happy marriage.

"Then sister, why are you crying?" Gu Yuxin asked with a tearful tone.

"You are stupid for crying out loud."

Gu Yuchu wiped away the tears from her face, and the two sisters smiled through their tears. They held hands, as if they had hope in their hands and their home.
