The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back

Chapter 277 Grandpa's Return
It's the season when the autumn wind sweeps the leaves and the sweet osmanthus is fragrant. The maple trees by the lake form a red brocade, and the scenery is unique.

However, at this moment, in Su Ying's eyes, there is only the handsome figure of Tsinghua University left.

Three years.

In the past three years, there was not a day when she did not look forward to his return, and there was not a night where she did not fall asleep with hope and woke up in disappointment.

If anyone in this world can make her lose control of her emotions to the point where she doesn't want to lose her mind after eating and drinking, then this person must be Gu Beiyu.

Before getting married, her mother told her that from now on, her husband will be her god.

But after three years of separation, she realized that he was not only her god, but also a demon that she could not escape in her whole life.

Fearing that this was just a dream, lest he would suddenly disappear from her eyes, she did not dare to blink her eyes until they were gradually blurred by tears.

There seemed to be a block of lead in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.

She stood like that, as if her whole body was frozen, unable to move half an inch.

Seeing that he was not only alive, but also safe and sound in front of her, she suddenly felt that the long wait of more than three years was worth it.

Gu Beiyu didn't move, just stood where he was, and also looked at her without blinking.

When you get together, you always regard eternity as a joke, but when you are apart, you know that it is true that it is unforgettable.

Every day on Yanshui Island, he counted the days, and the bone-wracking longing, jumping to the painful heart, as if his soul had been hollowed out, were all because of her.

He used to think that he liked Xia Mu, and only such a strong woman would become his lonely partner for life.

Later, he thought that he had been tempted by Jing Se. After all, who would not be tempted by such a perfect woman?
However, he didn't realize until later that the so-called liking, the so-called heartbeat, were all out of admiration for the perfect and strong, that was sympathy, not love.

And the woman standing in front of him now, she doesn't have Xia Mu's iron-blooded wrist, nor does she have the stunning beauty of Jing Se, but she just has the ability to hold his heart firmly and let him give a thousand reasons Reject any woman but her.

With Hongfeng behind him as the background, she became his eyes for ten thousand years at this moment.

Gently moving his footsteps, Gu Beiyu walked towards her step by step.

It seemed that the distance of a few feet was too long, Gu Beiyu suddenly used his internal strength to speed up, almost in the blink of an eye, he had already dodged in front of her, and could not help but hug her tightly into his arms.

Su Ying's accumulated tears finally fell at this moment, wet the front of his chest.

In the past three years, she had saved a lot of things to say to him, but after falling into this long-lost but warm embrace, she felt that nothing was important anymore. The location of the heartbeat.

"Your Highness..." After an unknown amount of time, Su Ying squeezed out two words from her throat with a sob in her mouth.

"Yinger." Gu Beiyu hugged her tightly, really wanting to pour out all the thoughts of the past three years.

"You're finally back." Su Ying slowly raised her head, her eyes dim with tears.

God knows how she made herself wait until this day.

The court minister impeached the virtuous king and never returned. It was very likely that she had the heart of treason. She firmly believed that her highness would fulfill his promise and come back to her.

When everyone was rumoring that he was dead, she still silently believed that His Highness just couldn't come back temporarily.

For more than three years, she has already regarded his return as a belief in her life.

"Waiting for you for so long, it's so hard." All her strength turned into grievances in front of him, and her tears fell down without a thread.

"I know." Gu Beiyu stretched out his fingertips to gently wipe away the tears for her, "I'm going home, this time I'm really going home, and I will never leave you again in my life."

I will never leave this home again in my life.

Such a promise is better than all the unattainable vows. She suddenly felt that her heart that had been empty for three years was filled. She opened her arms and hugged him again. She said: "This time, it is His Highness who wants to leave. I won't let you go anymore, if... If you have to go, then I will go wherever Your Highness goes, and don't separate like this again. "

As she said that, another wave of grievance came to her heart, she squeezed her fist and lightly beat his chest, "Do you know how hard it is to look at Shi as an adult?"

After an unknown amount of time, a crisp voice came from the side, "Mother, Zijie wants to kiss you too."

Su Ying suddenly realized that it was outside, and there was a child beside her. She stretched out her hand and pushed Gu Beiyu, but she didn't push, but pushed again, and Gu Beiyu reluctantly let go of her.

Su Ying's face was already stained red, and she was unbearably shy.

But she didn't have time to indulge in this shyness, because there was still a big question standing beside her.

"Who is he?" Taking a look at Zijie, Su Ying thought that he called Gu Beiyu "Daddy" before, and she felt a little bit of a taste for a while.

Gu Beiyu obviously smelled a strong sour smell, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "My son."

When Su Ying heard this, she immediately turned her head and ignored him with a soft snort.

She had been worried about him for so many years, but he had other women and children outside.

Although she knew that it was impossible for him to be monogamous, but at this moment, she still felt a little unacceptable.

How could she, who was used to having him monopolized for a long time, bear sharing her husband with other women?
Thinking of this, Su Ying felt blocked again.

Seeing this, Gu Beiyu took a step forward and hugged her gently from behind, with a warm and pleasant voice, "It's our child."

"What... what!" Su Ying froze. Her child died more than two years ago, and she watched Granny Wen take the dead baby out for disposal. How could she and him have a child?

"Yinger, I'm sorry." Gu Beiyu's voice became hoarse, "The night you gave birth, the baby was replaced. The dead baby was not our child, but Zijie was raised by me. Yours and I My own son."

This time, Su Ying was completely petrified, unable to react for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, her face gradually turned pale, and her body became cold. She pushed her away suddenly, "You...what did you say?"

That night, she had dystocia, and she finally gave birth to the baby when the last bit of strength in her body was exhausted. Later, Wen Po told her that the baby was dead. After seeing the dead baby held by Mrs. Wen, she couldn't hold back her eyes and fainted in one step.

When she woke up again, the dead baby had been taken care of by Wen Po and the maid, her throat was sore and hoarse, and she couldn't speak a word.

Later, it was her mother and Concubine Ning Jingse who went to Haosheng to persuade her to slowly pull her back from excessive depression.

In all her cognition, her child had died that night.

But now, her husband told her that on the night when she almost died, her child was transferred and taken away, and the person who took the child away was none other than the husband she had been waiting for year after year.

"Why?" Su Ying thought all this was ridiculous and ironic, she took two steps back with a wry smile, "Why did you do this to me?"

"Would you like to listen to my explanation?" Seeing her like this, Gu Beiyu was also very heartbroken. If he had any other choice that night, he would rather leave the child by her side to bathe in the mother's love and grow up slowly.

However, he can't.

If the child stays by her side, it will become a reminder for their mother and child.

His biological parents were so cruel, they wouldn't even let go of their own son, so how could they let go of Su Ying, a daughter-in-law whom they never recognized from the beginning to the end?

Su Ying bit her lip tightly, she didn't know what to do, should she agree to listen to his explanation or turn around and run away.

She was very scared, afraid that what he explained would be something she didn't want to hear or face.

Clenching her fingers tightly, Su Ying's body was trembling slightly.

"Mother."

Xiao BuDian suddenly grabbed her cool fingers, with a little aggrieved face, "Daddy misses you very much every day."

Although he didn't understand why his mother's complexion suddenly turned sour, he felt that it was necessary for him to stand up and say something fair for his father.

Su Ying stared blankly at Xiao Baozi, and she had an epiphany.

No wonder she felt kind to him as soon as she saw him, and was reluctant to let him go. It turned out that he was her own flesh and blood.

"Mother."

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Zijie took her finger and shook it again, "In order to be able to come back to find mother, Daddy had a falling out with those bad guys, it took a lot of effort!"

After hearing this, Su Ying slowly raised her head to look at Gu Beiyu, with mixed emotions in her heart.

That's right, I have lived like a walking dead for the past three years, isn't it because my heart and soul have been taken away by his silence?
Now seeing him come back safely, and telling her that their child is not dead, not only alive, but also looks pink and cute, all the bitterness and pain in the past will disappear like a dream from now on.

All of these will develop and extend in the most beautiful direction, shouldn't she be happy?
Slowly regaining her composure, Su Ying held Zijie's little hand behind her back, and looked at Gu Beiyu, "Okay, tell me, I'll listen."

Gu Beiyu took Su Ying's mother and son to the nearby Liujiao Pavilion to sit down. From the time he was sent to the palace to be raised when he was a child, he talked about the situation of Yanshui Island, detailing everything.

When it came to the night when Su Ying gave birth and he was being tortured on Yanshui Island, Su Ying uncontrollably blurred her eyes again.

She never expected that her husband just led troops to suppress a bandit, and he had so many twists and turns and bizarre experiences.

His biological parents treated him worse than slaves.

"Your Highness..." At this moment, Su Ying was both regretful and fortunate.

She regretted that she was a weak woman and couldn't help him when he was suffering.

Fortunately, she calmed down and thought just now, instead of turning around and running away without listening to his explanation.

"So, Yinger, don't blame me for being cruel. I was in a situation where I was forced to. I can't let you know that I was coerced, and I can't let you know that the child was replaced, because I know you too well. Once Let you know the truth, you will go to find me desperately, you can't find me, I don't want you to bother about it."

"I blamed you." Su Ying threw herself into his arms, sobbing, "If I had known that you left Jinling because of this, I would have taken good care of myself and waited for you to come back."

Gu Beiyu smiled gratifiedly, "Although you're much thinner than before, you've done a good job. At least you're alive and waiting for my return."

After crying for a long time before wiping away her tears, Su Ying straightened up, glanced at Zijie who was sitting next to her, and asked softly, "Did you bring up Zijie all these years?"

"Yeah." Gu Beiyu said: "Yanshui Island is full of people with hidden schemes. Zijie is my own son. I don't trust anyone except me, let alone hand Zijie to them."

Although Liu Qingyi took care of Zijie for a while, Gu Beiyu couldn't bear it any longer, so he agreed to marry Liu Qingyi, on the condition that he would take Zijie to his yard and raise him himself.

Su Ying was both moved and pleasantly surprised, "No wonder my cousin said you would give me a big gift, but it turned out to be a well-behaved and lovely son. I like this gift very much."

"I'm very happy to hear you say you like it." Gu Beiyu's eyes became softer.

"Your Highness, let's go back!"

Su Ying stood up and took Zijie's little hand, "If you have anything to say, let's talk at home."

"it is good."

Gu Beiyu stepped forward, and Su Ying and Su Ying took Zijie's little hand back to the carriage.

"Does Your Highness want to go to Chu Palace first?" Su Ying asked.

After all, she came out of the Prince Chu's mansion, so it seemed a bit unkind not to say a word.

Gu Beiyu's eyes were stained with a doting smile, "No, I won't go anywhere today, I just want to be with you."

Su Ying held Zijie in her arms, and leaned her head gently against him, "Your Highness, I am not dreaming, are you really back?"

Gu Beiyu straightened her head, "How about I try to bite you?"

Su Ying's ears burned, and she said angrily, "Don't make trouble, it's in the carriage!"

Su Ying hurriedly turned her head away, annoyed: "You are really... hopeless!"

"Well, only you can save it."

Su Ying's face turned even redder, but she moved to the side with Zi Jie in her arms, leaned against the side wall and fell asleep, and stopped talking.

The corners of Gu Beiyu's lips twitched slightly.

*
Chu palace.

Jing Se heard that Qian Mo said that Gu Beiyu had followed Su Ying back to Xian Wang's mansion, and pursed his lips with a smile, "Forget it, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Gu Beiyu has just come back, the couple must have something to say, we don't have to wait, you will wait a while Tell Yingluo to go to the back garden to invite the prince and the young prince over for dinner."

When Haohao just turned ten years old, Yin Che from Dongli sent a decree, making Fan Rui, the son of King Ning Fan Shen's son, Fan Rui the eldest son, and Fan Wei, the daughter of King Ning, the princess of Mingzhu.

The reason why Yin Che did this was not only because of Fan Chen's meritorious service in the past, but also because of the letters that Fan Chen had sent to Dong Li in the past three years, all of which were to analyze the pros and cons of Dong Li's current situation and come up with good countermeasures.

Fan Shen's talent came from the sky, and the good strategy that came out of his hands was free from mistakes and omissions, which won the trust of Dong Li's courtiers.

Qianmo and Yingluo went out for a long time and did not come back.

Jing Se couldn't help frowning, and called Qing'er, "Where did the two of them go?"

Qing'er thought for a while, and said: "I don't know what the concubine asked them to do, I just saw that the two were going towards the front yard!"

The burn scar on Qing'er's face, originally Jing Se promised to ask Zong Zhengchu to heal her personally, but in the past three years, Zong Zhengchu has not been in Wangyou Valley at all, there has been no news, and his trace has become a mystery, Jing Se knows very well This kind of scar cannot be dragged on, the longer it takes, the more difficult it will be to get rid of, so I had to do my best to help Qing'er heal, and with Xiao Qi's assistance, the scar on the little girl's face has completely disappeared, and now No matter where you go, you don't need to wear a veil, and you can hold your head high when you speak, and you are more confident.

Pulling back her thoughts, Jing Se frowned again, "I remember they were asked to invite the prince and the young prince to the back garden, why did they go to the front yard?"

Just wondering, Fan Chen walked in lightly, with a smile on his face, "Grandpa is back, let's go out to greet him."

Jing Se stared blankly, "What did you say!"

Fan Chen walked up to her, propped his hands down, just confined her in the armchair, and said with a smile, "I said, grandpa is back."

"This..." Jing Se once thought he was dreaming, "This is too sudden, why didn't Gu He notify us in advance?"

Fan Shen said: "He probably wants to give us a surprise on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival."

Jing Se came to his senses, "That's really a big surprise, come on, let's go to the outer courtyard to meet him."

Pushing Fan Chen away, Jing Se stood up and straightened her clothes, making sure that her grooming was in order, and then the two hurried to the front yard.

Nearly four years after leaving the Chu Palace, the Old Prince Chu is not only no longer older than before, but has become more energetic.

Jing Se and Fan Chen looked at each other, and they both stepped forward to salute.

The old prince Chu smiled kindly, and helped Jing Se and Fan Chen up with both hands, "It's been four years, I didn't expect the palace to change so much."

"Grandpa, look who's here."

Yin Xiangsi and Fan Yue came from another path, and they pulled Yingying from left to right.

When she walked in front of the old prince Chu, Yingying knelt on the ground obediently and bowed, "Yingying met Grandpa."

Immediately afterwards, Haohao brought Weiwei over, and the two brothers and sisters also knelt in front of the old prince Chu like Yingying, respectfully.

The old prince Chu was so excited that tears filled his eyes, "This... is this the child of your two families?"

"That's right!" Fan Yue answered, "Grandpa missed you all these years when grandpa was not at home."

Old Prince Chu's beard was upturned, and he gave Fan Yue an angry look, "You brat, you were a rascal who no one wanted back then, I didn't expect that in four years, you not only became a family, but also had such a family. A well-behaved daughter." Gently stroking Yingying's small head, she looked at Yin Xiangsi again, "Is this little girl the one you brought to the house?"

Yin Xiangsi bowed her head in embarrassment, "Grandpa, I am Xiao Qi who managed you to borrow blood Ganoderma lucidum back then."

After hearing this, the old prince Chu laughed heartily, "Okay! I still remember when you disguised yourself as a man and swore in front of the old man that the marriage of the Yue boy was on you, but it turned out that you had planned for yourself a long time ago. She's a clever little girl."

When the old prince Chu said, Yin Xiangsi blushed even more. She was busy helping Ali in the first place, so she said something nonsense, but she later compensated herself.

Thinking of this, she glared at Fan Yue.

Fan Yue winked at her, and turned to the old prince Chu, "Grandpa, let's go into the house quickly, I have already notified my mother and concubine that she is ordering someone to hold a family banquet, so I couldn't get out to greet you, please forgive me."

"Okay, okay." The old prince of Chu was happy, holding Yingying with his left hand and Weiwei with his right hand.

Jing Se and others followed Old Prince Chu, and the group headed towards the dining room.

After sitting down, Fan Chen asked: "Grandpa, you are back, so King Yong..."

"They're all back." Old Prince Chu said, "We old brothers came back together."

Fan Yue was very surprised, "Grandpa, where have you been all these years? My brother and I have been searching for so long, but there is no clue at all."

Because of the presence of female family members like Jing Se and Yin Xiangsi, Old Prince Chu had no choice but to say directly, "After dinner, you two go to my study, I have something to say to you."

It proved to be an extremely important matter for the old prince Chu to say so. Jing Se and Yin Xiangsi understood it clearly and remained calm.

The food was served quickly. Concubine Chu came late, and kowtowed three times to the old prince Chu in the middle of the small hall. When she got up again, her eyes were a little moist, "Father, you are finally back."

"It's been hard for Wan'er to manage the house all these years." The old prince Chu felt various feelings in his heart.

His son left early. In the past 20 years, how much Princess Chu has contributed to this family, the old prince Chu has remembered every bit of it in his heart. Now when he comes back, he sees her worrying about the marriage of his two grandchildren , the family is harmonious and harmonious, besides being touched, the old prince Chu also has indescribable gratitude in his heart.

If it weren't for such a shrewd and capable daughter-in-law, the Chu Palace would have been torn apart under the pressure of the late emperor, how could it be thriving today.

Princess Chu wiped her tears and said: "Father's words are serious, since a daughter-in-law enters the family of the Fan family, she is born a fan family and dies a fan family ghost. All these things are done by the daughter-in-law for the sake of the children and the family. Duty."

"Okay, I've been tired all day, sit down and rest for a while." Old Prince Chu signaled.

Princess Chu sat down in response.

This is the first time that so many family members have a meal together in the Prince Chu's mansion. Needless to say, the atmosphere is very lively. After the meal, the three grandchildren all stick to the old prince Chu. They had to laugh out loud, and the last person gave a greeting gift.

Knowing the courtesy, Haohao refused to accept it, but in the end, the old prince Chu said with a straight face, "If you don't answer, don't even think about calling me a grandpa in the future."

Haohao had no choice but to reach out and take Xie En.

Fan Chen took the opportunity to wink to Jing Se.

Jing Se understood immediately, stood up and called the three children, followed Princess Chu and Yin Xiangsi to the main courtyard to gather.

Fan Chen and Fan Yue followed Old Prince Chu to his study.

As soon as he entered the study room, the smile on Old Prince Chu's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious.

"Grandpa, what happened?"

Fan Yue was impatient, and he couldn't wait to speak as soon as he sat down.

Old Prince Chu glanced at the two of them, "Do you two know Gu He's true identity?"

"Understood." Fan Shen nodded, "Although he is a cousin, he is a member of the Fan family. It's just that he doesn't belong to us."

"Could it be that Gu He has other identities?" Fan Yue became anxious again.

Old Prince Chu said: "If you can even find out Gu He's identity, then you must also know the identity of their other heir."

"Yeah." Fan said calmly, "It's Gu Beiyu."

Old Prince Chu was not surprised. The ability of his great grandson never disappoints. Since Gu He's identity can be found, it will not be difficult to find Gu Beiyu.

Fan Yue scratched his head, "I remember that grandpa had a different attitude towards Gu Beiyu many years ago. Could it be that you already knew his true identity?"

The old prince Chu was noncommittal, "I just know that the young master from the other branch was sent to the royal family. I can figure out what they are plotting, but I really don't know which prince the young master who was sent became. After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of the fact that Concubine Shu went to Yanshan Palace to wait for childbirth, which confirmed Gu Beiyu's identity. Therefore, in the subsequent struggle for the heir apparent, I repeatedly reminded him to be careful. Maybe I think I'm biased against Se girl because of her face, but it's not."

Fan Yue opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Sure enough, Grandpa is Grandpa." He and his elder brother only found out about this matter after Grandpa left. Unexpectedly, Grandpa had already noticed and guessed the intention of that branch.

Fan Chen didn't focus on this, "Then, what is it that grandpa wants to tell us brothers?"

Old Prince Chu laughed, "You shrewd boy, you really can't hide anything from you. I called you here alone, because I do have something I want to say."

Fan Yue sat obediently with his ears straight.

"You should have heard about the fact that King Yong abandoned Princess Changle to marry Princess Yong, right?"

"I've heard of it." Fan Shen said: "I also know that Princess Yong is the biological daughter of the patriarch."

"Then do you know why King Yong abandoned his beloved woman to marry Concubine Yong?"

"This is the question I have been unable to figure out." Fan Chen frowned, "It stands to reason that King Yong is loyal to Xiqin, and it is absolutely impossible for him to marry Princess Yong just because she is the daughter of the patriarch of the Fan clan. , After all, doing so is against the imperial court, and it is not good for him or his descendants."

Old Prince Chu nodded in satisfaction, "It's pretty good that you can think of this level."

Fan Chen was surprised, "Why, is there any inside story about this matter?"

"Yes." The old prince Chu stroked his beard, "We have to think about the whole thing in a different direction."

"Turn around..." Fan Chen murmured, lost in thought, and after a while, he and Fan Yue were surprised at the same time, "Agreement!"

Fan Yue chuckled twice, looked at Fan Chen, "Brother, speak first."

Fan Chen was not polite, and directly analyzed: "If things are really as grandpa said, then King Yong's marriage to Princess Yong was not for love, let alone because of Princess Yong's beauty, but an agreement."

"Very good, let's continue." The old prince Chu showed approval.

"And we have just analyzed that it is impossible for King Yong to betray Xiqin and help the Fan family enter the world. From another perspective, the agreement between King Yong and Princess Yong is to prevent the branch of the Fan family from entering the world with peerless soldiers. Grandpa, Is the grandson's analysis correct?"

The old prince Chu couldn't help clapping his hands, "Okay! As expected of the grandson of this old man, the truth can be revealed by just shaking his head."

After his speculation was affirmed, Fan Chen couldn't help but gasped, "It turns out that Princess Yong's purpose is to prevent that branch from entering the world, but why?"

Old Prince Chu said: "Joining the WTO is the hope of the majority of the tribe. Concubine Yong's father, who was the patriarch back then, was extremely troubled by this matter. He is a hermit and doesn't like the noise and excitement outside. The clansmen stayed on the island all their lives, but his brothers were not convinced, and led the clansmen to make a fuss, which turned the atmosphere all wrong. The clansmen were all ambitious. In desperation, he had to sacrifice one of his daughters to marry into the Gu family The royal family said on the surface that they would use this to control the overall situation and pave the way for future entry into the WTO. In fact, they were planning to take this opportunity to give the royal family the map of weapons. He wanted to take a gamble. Take those weapons and go to Yanshui Island to destroy the entire branch."

Fan Yue was so shocked that he didn't even react, "Shouldn't the patriarch's responsibility be to protect the clan? Why did the patriarch think of committing suicide?"

Old Prince Chu replied: "The clansmen of that branch wanted to enter the world and thought they were insane. They had bad intentions and killed many people. The patriarch was almost desperate. Because of his younger brother's instigation, the clansmen were enthusiastic. The patriarch was powerless to stop him. I know even more deeply that if you enter the world with peerless magic weapons as bargaining chips, you will definitely be feared by the heavenly family in the end, and you will have the idea of ​​getting rid of them quickly. It would be better for him to find a way to destroy himself and let the imperial court hunt him down, and also destroy the thoughts of the clansmen to enter the world."

Now, not to mention Fan Yue, even Fan Chen, who had always been calm, was stunned.

Growing up so big, it was the first time I heard that the head of the clan wanted to kill his own clan.

"So, although Gu He is nominally a cousin of the Fan family, in fact, he is on the opposite side of that branch?"

Fan Chen immediately thought of this.

"That's right." The old prince of Chu's face became more serious, "Four years ago, Emperor Gu He ordered me to follow King Yong to Yandang Mountain. Command the craftsmen who make weapons to achieve the goal of perfecting weapons."

"What does he want to do?" Fan Chen's expression suddenly changed.

"All the weapons on the Peerless Divine Weapon have been made." The old prince of Chu seemed to have returned to the time when he and King Yong were studying the detailed weapon blueprints that Gu He wrote, "I don't know what the regent wants to do, but I You know, there is a big battle that is about to begin."

*
Despite the lingering night, Gu Beiyu was still in good spirits, got up early the next day, had breakfast with Su Ying, and soon went to the Prince Regent's Mansion to meet Gu He.

Gu Beiyu's return was not made public, so he met Gu He in private.

"You are finally back."

Gu Heping retreated all the servants, and poured himself a cup of tea. His tone was unclear, and the corners of his lips were half a smile, "I never thought that the heir chosen by their family would be you."

When Gu He said this, Gu Beiyu knew it in his heart, and it seemed that Gu He knew his whereabouts like the palm of his hand.

"I'm here because I want to ask you something." Gu Beiyu looked deeply.

"Say."

"You clearly know that you have become an outcast of the family, why do you spare no effort to help them study the weapon map?"

Gu He raised his eyebrows, "In what capacity are you asking me this question?"

"The virtuous king Gu Beiyu, not the young master of the Fan family."

Seeing Gu He's hesitation, Gu Beiyu said: "I just want to know the answer to this question. Your intelligence network is so powerful, you must have known that I and Fanshi have fallen out. I will not do anything for them except for the weapon map." Anything, including... betraying you."

Gu He suddenly chuckled, "Even if you betray me, I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason why I want to study the peerless magic weapon is to fight back against that branch."

Gu Beiyu was stunned, "What did you say!"

Gu He looked indifferent, "Since you know that I am the abandoned son of the family, you must also know the reason why they abandoned me!"

Gu Beiyu pursed his lips. It was because he knew that he couldn't wait to ask Gu He whether the words that Lin's mouth said were true.

Gu Hewu said to himself, "I study the atlas, on the surface, to help them explain it in detail, but in fact, I write it down, draw another copy, and hand over the heavy responsibility of making weapons to the royal craftsmen. In a few days, I will go to sea in person To destroy that branch, the first reason for destroying the Fan family: the reason why my grandmother married into the royal family is to prevent them from entering the world, and I cannot live up to my grandmother's expectations. The second reason: for Xiamu."

"Xiamu..." Gu Beiyu bit his lips tightly, "You really... loved her?"

"I love it so much, I love it to the bone." Gu He looked out the window, his eyes were clear and indifferent, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

"I see." Gu Beiyu murmured after a long time.

Gu He withdrew his gaze and looked at him, "Let me ask you, are you sure you want to break up with your biological parents?"

Gu Beiyu sneered, "Biological parents? If those two have given me birth, then the torture I suffered on Yanshui Island in the past three years is enough to repay. There is no relationship between me and them." It doesn't matter."

"You disappeared for more than three years, and the ministers in the court complained a lot." Gu He paused, "If you want to come back and continue to be your virtuous king, then I will tell everyone that sending you out to suppress bandits is just a cover , the real purpose is for you to find the location of that ambitious branch of Fan Shi, and now you have found it, so you are back."

Gu Beiyu was shocked, "Are you really willing to help me?"

Gu He smiled, "I don't have much time and my ability is limited. While I can still think, I can do a few good things! However, the reason why I want to help you is to ask you for one thing."

The word "begging" came out of Gu He's mouth, which directly shocked Gu Beiyu.

"You said."

Gu He held the teacup tightly with his fingers, and his voice became hoarse, "This time I went out to sea to destroy Fanshi, and I probably won't be able to come back alive. Before I leave, I will arrange everything in court. After I die, you I will be crowned regent because of my meritorious service in finding the branch of Fanshi, and I will assist the young emperor on my behalf. What I want to ask you is, never tell anyone that I loved Xiamu. If one day you see Xiamu in someone else Please don’t doubt her, some things, some words, are only suitable to rot in the stomach, silently blessing, this is the last thing I can do for her in this life.”

Gu Beiyu was shocked for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "You really won't survive this year?"

Gu He propped his forehead, "My own body, I know very well that this trip to the sea to destroy Fanshi will probably exhaust my remaining energy, and it's better to die at sea, so as not to bring the bones back to make people feel sad."

Gu Beiyu felt very uncomfortable. It turned out that the enemy he had always thought of as an enemy turned out to be a stepping stone for him to rise to the top.

"Gu He, I..." Gu Beiyu's expression changed.

Gu He saw through his thoughts, and raised his hand, "No need to persuade, no need to thank, this is the path I chose, from the year when I confirmed my love for Xia Mu, I expected that such a day would come, Now that the time limit is up, I don’t have anything to complain about, only after I’ve loved have I realized that I’ve truly lived, and I have no regrets.”

Gu Beiyu didn't know what to say, he just felt that Gu He at this moment was great.

This man never speaks out of his forbearance, even if he loves that woman, he doesn't want to tell anyone, including her.

"Is there anything else you need?" Gu He asked.

"No, it's gone." Gu Beiyu stood up, "Then I'm leaving now."

Gu He nodded, and after Gu Beiyu left, he ordered the servants, "Prepare the sedan chair and enter the palace."

Imperial City, Jianzhang Palace.

The five-and-a-half-year-old little emperor tilted his head and asked, "Is little uncle going away? When will he be back?"

Gu He has been with the young emperor for many years, and has long subconsciously regarded him as his own son. At this moment, when he heard the little emperor's question, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he did not say a word for a long time.

"Little uncle, you must come back sooner!" The little emperor shook his arm, "Yangyang wants to eat the candied haws outside, and when little uncle comes back, let's eat together, okay?"
