The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back

Chapter 289 The Ending (10)

Back in West Qin Dynasty, Jing Se accompanied Fan Chen to Famen Temple and put Zongzhengchu's urn together with the blue and white spiritual tablet.

Jing Se glanced at the empty place, pursed her lips, "Fan Chen, why don't we ask for a spiritual seat for my master!"

"No need." Fan Chen's eyes fell on the urn, "Brother told me before he left, there is no need to place a spirit seat."

After a pause, "Furthermore, brother is living a good life over there. Isn't it a curse for us to place a spiritual position here?"

Jing Se also thought about it, "Okay then, oh yes, when did you put your master's spirit seat in Famen Temple?"

Fan Shen said: "Back then when all the sisters from the right minister's mansion came to offer incense together."

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "What year was it?"

"Yeah." Fan Chen said, "Because I had just recovered my memory and knew the past between my master and my father, so I did that."

Jing Se understood, and asked again, "Mother and grandpa don't know?"

"I didn't dare to let them know." Fan Chen put three sticks of incense in the incense burner, and bowed to Qing Hua's spiritual tablet, "Mother never knew the relationship between my master and my father, as for Grandpa, if He knows that I have invited Master's spiritual seat to Famen Temple, and he will not have any objections, because he was the one who ordered my father and king in a hurry, so that Qing Hua never had a chance to come back, and he is full of heart now Guilt, worrying about not having a chance to make up for their mother and son."

Jingse fell into silence.

Fan Chen took her hand and walked out of the Jialan Palace, tilted his head and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?"

"When I was a female face, I heard a lot about my father's deeds, and I knew that he was a high-spirited and upright person, but when it came to your master, he made a big mistake. I was wondering whether he was confused for a moment or something else. Is there a secret?"

Fan Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Zong Zhengchu once asked him if he knew why his father and king accepted his mother and concubine so quickly.

At that time, it wasn't that he didn't suspect that there was something hidden in it, but after thinking about it later, so what if there was something else hidden?The parties involved have passed away one after another, and even if he finds out the truth, he will not be able to save the situation. He will only dig out the old past and make the living people feel more pain.

"Let's just let this matter go to the end, don't worry about it." Fan Chen held her hand tightly, "Sometimes, living in a lie is much happier than living in the truth."

"Well, okay, if you say it doesn't matter, then I won't mention it again from now on."

Jing Se nodded obediently.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been two months since Gu He went to sea.

Battle reports began to come from the sea, to the effect that Gu He's sudden personal conquest caught the Fanshi branch of Yanshui Island by surprise. The night of the battle was raging, and the sea area with a radius of [-] miles around Yanshui Island was covered with gunpowder smoke.The Brahma branch was not fully prepared in terms of weapons, and could only temporarily rely on mechanical techniques to counter the Western Qin army. Due to the terrain, the two sides were at a stalemate.

The first person to receive the information was Gu Beiyu. After reading it, his face became more serious, and immediately came the left minister Fanchen to discuss.

"Yanshui Island has many traps, if Gu He attacks hard, I'm afraid he will suffer." Gu Beiyu said.

Fan Chen thought for a while, "Can you draw the detailed distribution of Yanshui Island?"

"It's been drawn." Gu Beiyu turned around and took out the map from behind.

Fan Chen took a look and frowned.

"On the surface, Yanshui Island is heavily surrounded and weak. In terms of weapon strength, they can't compete with Gu He, but the fact is that they have deployed many organs on the island. Once Gu He attacks, it is possible Injure yourself because of those powerful organs."

"That's the truth." Gu Beiyu tightened his grip on the battle report, "If it really doesn't work, I'll take reinforcements there after a while. I'm familiar with the location of Yanshui Island, and what kind of institutions are there. In the past three years I can feel it clearly, and I think it will not be difficult to deal with them."

Fan Chen disagreed, "Before Gu He set off on the expedition, you must have given him a copy of the map that marked the location of the agency in your hand, right?"

Gu Beiyu nodded, "Yes, the one given to him is more detailed than the one I have now."

"Then you don't need to take action." Fan Chen said firmly: "As long as there is a map prompt, even if Yanshui Island is an iron wall, Gu He will have a way to break it. This battle, Gu He will definitely win."

"I also know that he will win in the end." Gu Beiyu showed worry, "I just want to find a way to minimize the loss." At least, let Gu He not die so quickly.

Fan Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, what you can think of, Gu He has already thought of it, his head is not for nothing."

Gu Beiyu pursed his lips tightly. He couldn't tell Fan Chen that Gu He would never come back, nor could he tell that Gu He was poisoned because of Xia Mu.

Gu Beiyu remembered the words Gu He said before he left.

He said: If one day, you see the shadow of Xia Mu in others, please don't be suspicious, some things, some things, are only suitable to rot in the stomach, silently bless, is what I can do for her in this life One last thing.

These words once made Gu Beiyu confused for a while, but later, he suddenly realized.

Wasn't it because he saw Xia Mu's shadow in her that he was attracted to Jing Se?

This realization made Gu Beiyu lose sleep for several nights.

It turned out that the person Gu He was referring to was Jing Se.

No wonder he was so helpless.

The person who had been guarding for so long was suddenly asked to be beheaded, which made him want to die, and then one day, he saw the shadow of that person in others, but the one who was with her was another man.

Gu Beiyu could imagine how much Gu He's heart ached for this matter.

Glancing at Fan Chen, Gu Beiyu asked, "Cousin... is she okay?"

"She's fine." Fan Chen smiled, "Do you have anything to say to her?"

"No." Gu Beiyu withdrew his gaze and looked away, he was just greeting Gu He.

Fan Chen put his hands on the table, carefully studied the map of Yanshui Island, and said: "As for sending reinforcements, wait until Gu He's second battle report comes back before making a decision!"

Gu Beiyu nodded, watching Fan Chen go away.

King Xuan and Gu Xiaoxiao came to West Qin for a long time this time.

The young couple would enter the palace on time every day to greet the Empress Dowager.

Among all the princesses of the former emperor, the Empress Dowager liked Gu Xiaoxiao the most, so every time Gu Xiaoxiao went there, the Empress Dowager was always happy.

On this day, the young couple went to Yongshou Palace again.

"Grandmother." As soon as she entered the hall, Gu Xiaoxiao turned into a lamb and stuck to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager smiled cheerfully, reached out and patted her small head, "I've been here in Xiqin for so long, when do you plan to go back?"

Gu Xiaoxiao threw herself into the arms of the Empress Dowager, and quietly glanced at King Xuan.

King Xuan laughed, "I have already sent a letter to the emperor, he allows you to stay in West Qin for a while."

"Really?" Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she felt more energetic than before.

Without waiting for King Xuan to answer, the Empress Dowager said angrily: "You little girl, don't miss your husband's family and your mother's family. Does your husband's family treat you badly?"

When King Xuan heard this, he hurriedly explained, "Grandmother Mingjian, I love Xiaojiali very much. I can't find another one in Dongli. Don't accuse me indiscriminately, otherwise this If it gets out, my fame in this life will be completely ruined."

The Empress Dowager glanced at him, "The Ai family hasn't spoken yet, you have dozens of sentences waiting."

King Xuan chuckled, "Aren't I afraid that you might be misunderstood?"

The Empress Dowager ignored him, looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, and asked, "Little girl, is King Xuan treating you well?"

Gu Xiaoxiao blushed and nodded shyly, "Your Highness is very kind to your granddaughter."

"That's good." The Empress Dowager was relieved for a while. Because of her own experience, she once thought that princesses who marry with relatives far away from other countries would have a miserable fate. Unexpectedly, her little granddaughter found happiness. It was a consolation.

King Xuan was very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that the Empress Dowager looked disappointed, he immediately gave Gu Xiaoxiao a wink, "Little Pepper, didn't you just say you were going to see your mother and concubine? It's getting late, let's go!"

After being married to King Xuan for so many years, Gu Xiaoxiao naturally understood what his eyes meant.

Standing up straight from the Empress Dowager's arms, Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Grandmother, granddaughter is leaving now, and will enter the palace to accompany you another day."

"Ah... good." The Empress Dowager looked at her with a smile, "Go!"

Gu Xiaoxiao retreated to the hall, saluted with King Xuan and then left.

After Gu Xiaoxiao left, the dowry mother next to the Empress Dowager came over and asked, "Does the Empress Dowager need a lunch break?"

The Empress Dowager’s gaze was still fixed on the direction Gu Xiaoxiao left, and she murmured: “Lian Xin, the Ai family always thought that the princess and I would share the same bed with my husband all my life, but I didn’t expect to be able to get happiness. Tell me, is it because Aijia's fate is not good, that's why he will be planted on a tree for the rest of his life?"

The mother named Lian Xin knew that the Empress Dowager recalled the incident when King Yong personally sent her to his brother's sedan chair. She sighed in her heart, but said in her mouth: "The Empress Dowager is graceful and luxurious , Mother's appearance in the world, such an honor, should be beyond the reach of many women in the world, how can you say that fate is not good?"

The Empress Dowager's voice became darker, "You know that the Ai family is not referring to this."

Sister Lianxin immediately shut up.

Few people in the palace know about the Empress Dowager and King Yong. Even if there are a few insiders, they are all maidservants married as dowry, and they are all confidantes of the Empress Dowager. No one will spread this matter to the outside world. But they know that they know it, but they dare not talk about their master.

"It will be Spring again soon." The Empress Dowager looked at the falling snow outside the window, and suddenly felt emotional.

Lian Xin also followed the trend and looked over, thinking: Yes, it will be spring soon, and the Empress Dowager will have another chance to meet her longing King Yong at the New Year's Eve banquet.

In fact, what Lian Xin thinks is what the Empress Dowager thinks.

Ever since King Yong came back from Yandang Mountain, the Empress Dowager was looking forward to more banquets in the palace, because in this way she would be able to see him by chance. Although every meeting was not very pleasant, she still prayed every day.

However, the Empress Dowager never expected that her wish would suddenly come to nothing.

On this day, it was snowing very hard. The steward of Prince Yong's Mansion came into the palace wearing sackcloth to report the funeral, and knelt down in the main hall of the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, our old prince has passed away."

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed, and the teacup in her hand slipped and broke into several petals.
