Queen's scheming

Chapter 137 The Incident (Part Five)

Mrs. Yang Guogong took a deep breath, pursed the corners of her lips, and said softly: "Well, sit down and listen to my mother to tell you in detail!"

Gu Yiran hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down beside Mrs. Yang Guogong.

Mrs. Yang Guogong thought for a while, then sighed and said: "This is the only stain on your father's life, so my mother didn't want it to be mentioned, so she sealed the mouths of the people in the house, and some old people sent away those who should be sent away. Now that the mansion is aware of this matter, only Steward Yan is the only one. In addition, the matter of the Wang family is also the order of the late emperor himself, and he also pities your father. He has been an official in the court for many years, and there has never been such a scandal. No one in the world knows that what happened to the Wang family back then was done by your father."

"Then why did father attack the Wang family, even the old and weak, women and children, father has never been such a cold person!" Gu Yiran said anxiously.

Mrs. Yang Guogong licked the broken hair between her temples, took out the needle and thread, continued to sew the clothes, and said slowly: "Back then, your father was a general in the military department, and the late emperor held him in high esteem, so your father was always away Li, but on the day you were born, I always felt that something was going to happen, I couldn't eat and sleep, your father was worried about being a mother, so he stayed in the mansion, and he became popular without much effort, but he didn't have abdominal pain, Wen Po Several of them came, and seeing my mother getting weaker and bleeding more and more, you just didn't move a bit in your belly.

Your father is very anxious, but he can't help you. At this time, a cow-nosed old man came outside our house. Before he entered the house, he said that your child is a celestial evil star, who will have cholera, and there is a royal family in the east of the city. Handle, like a tiger crouching at a city gate, you will not be born!After your father heard this, he took his sword and rode his horse to the east of the city..."

Mrs. Yang Guogong looked at Gu Yiran quietly, as if she had returned to that day, and said softly: "My mother has been thinking, is it because of the deep resentment of the Wang family back then that you are in such a poor health?"

Gu Yiran touched the orchid pastel bowl in his hand, and murmured: "So, it's because of me that my father committed such a wrong thing. I'm still in my father's study, yelling at my father. It's really a shame." It's too inappropriate."

Gu Yiran got up and said, "Son, go and apologize to father!"

"Wait!" Mrs. Yang Guogong stopped Gu Yiran anxiously, and then said gently: "A father and son, how can we talk about apologizing or not apologizing. This matter is a pain point in your father's heart, you'd better not mention it again This matter, in previous years, every time it was your birthday, your father would sleep restlessly for a few days, probably because he remembered what happened back then, if you really love your father, you don't want to mention this matter to him again!" Mrs. Yang Guogong looked at Gu Yirandao with hope.

Gu Yiran quickly nodded and agreed, and then Mrs. Yang Guogong smiled and said: "My mother also ordered a pair of snow-forged plain fabrics with blue sky after rain from Suzhai, and the goods will arrive in the future." , I will sew a summer shirt for you, it is the most refreshing thing to wear in summer!"

Gu Yiran stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Yang Guogong, and said with a smile, "Thank you, mother!"

Looking up, Wuxuezhai's three big characters in italics stand squarely on top of the black lacquered gate. Gu Yiran tidied up his moon-white brocade and brocade attire, straightened his hair and put on a jade crown. It was only by a slight mistake that the servants were dismissed and they were waiting by the carriage. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

A maidservant in pink opened the door, looked up and down, and asked respectfully, "What's the matter with this young master?"

Gu still didn't dare to be negligent, and replied: "Is this the other courtyard of Princess Yuexuan?"

"Young master, that's right. Princess Yuexuan doesn't entertain male guests, so please forgive me!" The maidservant in pink replied respectfully.

Gu Yiran hurriedly said: "I am Gu Yiran, the eldest son of Duke Yang's mansion. The empress once told me to come to Princess Yuexuan's Wuxuezhai to find her!"

The maidservant in pink looked Gu Yiyi up and down, and replied, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Gu, and let this maidservant go and reply!"

After a while, the pink-clothed maidservant turned around and said with a blessing, "Empress Empress, please come in and talk with Gu Shizi in detail. Please come with the maidservant."

Gu Yiran nodded, not daring to look around all the way, but closely followed the footsteps of the pink-clothed maidservant, like an ignorant young man, going to see his beloved woman with joy.

After Gu Yiran saluted, Shen Qingyi's clear voice sounded in his ears, and he felt at ease.

"Gu Shizi came to look for my mother-in-law, but at the beginning my Wang family was full of families, and the matter of destroying the family has a result?" Yu Lian asked impatiently.

Gu Yiran had just sat down, but upon hearing this, he immediately got up and said, "After careful investigation, the 72 members of the Wang family were wiped out overnight, and the Dali Temple hastily closed the case as a robber invasion, which was the late emperor's will. "

Yu Lian immediately said angrily: "We let you go back to find out the truth, not to let you shirk your guilt. Both Yu He and I know that our Wang family was not invaded by robbers!"

Gu Yiran cupped his hands and said, "Miss Yulian misunderstood, and I didn't intend to shirk it. On the contrary, I came to bear the responsibility. My father admitted that it was my father who committed the massacre of the Wang family. But my father committed the crime. It is because of me that I made such mistakes! So it is only right for the two girls to seek revenge from me!"

Shen Qingyi stopped Yu Lian, and said softly: "Yu Lian, don't be impatient, listen to Gu Shizi finish the matter, you have been waiting for so many years, it's not too late, isn't it!"

Yu Lian stomped her lotus feet, cast a sideways glance at Gu Yiran, and stood beside Yu He.

Shen Qingyi saw Yu Lian and Yu He standing quietly by the side, and then asked in harmony: "What does Gu Shizi mean by this? When the Wang family was destroyed, you were still young, so how can it be related to you?"

Gu Yiran raised her head and glanced at Shen Qingyi casually, she was wearing a pea green slanted skirt with a cross-collared skirt today, the waist tied with a wide drawstring seemed to be plain, and it was too full to hold, and she was covered with a frosted skirt. The silky crepe drape is light and shallow, like smoke enveloping its body, as if a fairy descended to earth, the simplest single snail is tied in a bun, fixed with a jasper hairpin, and jasper drop pendants are worn on the ears. , shaking slightly.

Gu Yiran's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Shen Qingyi, who had retreated from the palace clothes, changed into homely clothes and sat beside him.The scenes that often appear in his dreams seem to be happening, she is his wife, they sit at the table together, talking without a word, the years are quiet...

Yuhe coughed lightly, pulling back Gu Yiran's reverie.Gu Yiran smiled slightly to cover up his embarrassment and said, "To tell you the truth, the empress, I have checked the files of Dali Temple, and the day when the Wang family was destroyed was the day when Yiyi was born!"
