The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back

Chapter 292 The Ending (13)

After the scouts retreated, Gu Beiyu held his head in both hands, the paleness on his face did not retreat at all.

"How...is this happening?" Gu Beiyu huddled in the armchair, even his voice was trembling.

Before Gu He left, he only said that he would not come back, but he didn't say that he would die with Yanshui Island!

Such news was like a bolt from the blue to Gu Beiyu.

Fan Chen's expression was not very good, he sat down opposite Gu Beiyu, and it took some time before he said, "Before he left, he told me that he would never come back, but I didn't expect him to leave in such a way, it was too acceptable Incompetent."

Gu Beiyu was depressed, and clenched his fists again and again, "Cousin-in-law, what do you think should be done about this matter, you can keep it a secret for a while, but you can't keep it a lifetime, and there will be a day when it will be exposed."

Fan Chen said softly: "How long you can hide it, the emperor is still young, you can't let him bear such a big blow, otherwise it will leave a shadow on him."

"I know that." Gu Beiyu slammed the hammer on the table in frustration, "But I still can't accept the sudden news of Gu He's death."

Fanchen pursed his lips, unable to express his feelings in his heart.

A few months ago, he had personally sent Zong Zhengchu away. Although he knew that it was just a ceremony for Zong Zhengchu to return home, Fan Chen would never forget the feeling of seeing him transform from a living person into a jar of ashes.

Half a month ago, he was still offering his condolences to the old prince at Yongwang Mansion, saying "I hope this life is safe" to comfort him.

But today, he had to send away that "opponent" with outstanding qualifications and looks.

They have fought in secret, fought openly, talked and laughed with the world in their hands, and were drunk and forgotten about the affairs of the world, only turning the red dust upside down.

Those frames of the past seem to have happened yesterday.

However, in the blink of an eye, the sad news that he and Yanshui Island died together came back, his soul fell into the blue sea, and there was no bones left.

Even Fan Chen, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help being moved by it.

The two of them were speechless for a while, just sitting quietly.

After about a stick of incense, Fan Chen stood up, "Let's go back first, the Emperor is still waiting at the Linde Hall!"

Gu Beiyu's eyes were full of desolation, "Cousin-in-law, I will make up an excuse later, you have to cooperate with me, don't reveal your secrets."

Fan Chen nodded, "I will."

Gu Beiyu wiped his face and strode out of the imperial study room, but he didn't want to see Gu He's parents standing outside just as he went out.

Gu Beiyu was stunned for a moment, "Second Uncle and Aunt, why are you two here?"

Lu Shihong looked at Gu Beiyu with red eyes, and asked, "Beiyu, tell Second Aunt the truth, is He'er...really unable to come back?"

Before he finished speaking, Dou Da's tears rolled down, crying heartbroken.

Gu Beiyu's pale face was even more miserable in the snowy night, "Second Uncle and Aunt, I..."

Tears flickered in Gu Bowen's old eyes, "Early before the expedition, we knew that He'er would never come back, but we still kept thinking about a miracle every day. Something must have happened, that's why I couldn't wait to find an excuse with my wife to say goodbye to the crowd and come here, just to know He'er's situation as soon as possible. Our husband and wife only have such a son in this life. He has been the treasure of everyone in Yongwang's mansion , he left suddenly, how much it hurt me as a father, I hope you can understand, Beiyu, so, I hope you can tell the truth about what happened to He'er, so that we can have a bottom line in our hearts. "

Gu Beiyu gave the two elders a painful look, then looked at Fan Chen, and after getting the other's nod in acquiescence, he slowly opened his lips, "Second uncle and aunt, the regent... After the warship was blown to pieces, there was no bones left , never coming back."

"what!"

Although he had already made preparations for his son to die in battle, Mrs. Lu still couldn't accept the cruel fact expressed by the four words "no bones left". He couldn't support himself, closed his eyes and fell back.

Gu Beiyu had sharp eyesight and quick hands, he hurriedly supported Lu Shi, and said to Gu Bowen: "Second Uncle, I will send Second Aunt to rest in the side hall first, and let the imperial physician come and see her later."

Gu Bowen nodded with a sob, and followed Gu Beiyu.

His father had just died not long ago, and now his son had died again. The blows came one after another, and his black hair suddenly became frosty.

"Uncle, please forgive me." Fan Chen walked behind, together with Gu Bowen.

Gu Bowen turned his head to look at him, thinking that his son was originally a man of honor on a par with King Ning, and now that he is gone, he couldn't help crying, "This is the only son in my life, if it wasn't for his grandmother I have strict requirements on him, I don't want him to participate in those sinister schemes, I only hope that he will be an ordinary person in his life, as long as he lives, but..."

Gu Bowen's clothes were wet with tears, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak a word.

"I understand." Fan Shen comforted in a gentle voice, "I'm also very sad that he left like this, but uncle, we have to consider the overall situation and not expose this matter for the time being, otherwise if the emperor finds out, he will temporarily Unbelievable."

Gu Bowen nodded and said: "Before I came, I discussed with my wife. There will be no mourning hall or white banners. I will go back and burn some paper money quietly."

Gu Bowen's words made Fan Chen choke up.

I wanted to say a few more words, but opened my mouth, but didn't say anything, Fan Chen simply gave up, and quickened his pace to the side hall.

Gu Beiyu moved quickly, and had settled Lu Shi, and asked the maid to invite the imperial physician. When he saw Gu Bowen and Fan Chen coming in together, he hurriedly got up to meet him, and helped Gu Bowen, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt is only in a temporary coma. In the past, it's okay."

Gu Bowen looked at him gratefully, "Bei Yu, thank you."

Gu Beiyu was stunned, "Why did Second Uncle suddenly say thank you?"

Gu Bowen trembled his lips and said: "The matter of He'er has made you and King Ning worry about it."

"Second Uncle, don't say that." Gu Beiyu hurriedly interrupted him, "Although the Regent is my cousin, I have always regarded him as my own brother. I couldn't do anything for him when I was alive, and now he is gone. I should worry about his funeral."

The imperial physician came soon after checking Lu's pulse and got up to reply, "Return to your Highnesses, Madam is only in a hurry and temporarily unconscious, there is nothing serious."

Even the imperial physician said so, the big stone in Gu Bowen's heart finally fell.

The imperial physician took out a small porcelain bottle and opened it, put it on the tip of Lu's nose for her to sniff for a while.

Lu frowned deeply and woke up.

Seeing Gu Bowen's haggard eyes, Lu immediately thought of the news that his son had died at sea with no bones left, tears blurred his eyes again.

"Second Aunt." Gu Beiyu called her, "Second Uncle has only you now, you can't fall down first, you have to hold on."

Lu's tears burst into tears, and he helplessly covered his lips with one hand to prevent himself from crying.

Gu Bowen hesitated for a moment, walked over to help Lu Shi up, and said in a low voice, "Let's go back first!"

Lu Shi cried and nodded.

"Second Uncle, how about I arrange for someone to take you back?" Gu Beiyu was very worried that the old man would just leave like this.

"No need." Gu Bowen had already helped Lu Shi, who was almost unsteady, to go out, "Your second aunt and I want to be alone."

Gu Beiyu pursed his lips slightly, watching the two elders go away.

After walking out of the gate of the side hall, Lu's legs gave way and he almost fell down again.

Gu Bowen grabbed her tightly, letting her whole body weight attach to him, "Han'er, be stronger."

Lu cried into tears, "Master, that is our only son!"

"I know." Gu Bowen was also uncomfortable, "As early as more than ten years ago, we knew that such a day would come."

"But..." Lu burst into tears, intermittently, "But I didn't expect that he wouldn't even keep the bones for himself, and wouldn't let us collect his body."

"He'er is a filial child." Gu Bowen pulled out a stiff smile, "He did this because he didn't want us to see his dead body and feel distraught."

When Lu Shi heard this, he cried even harder.

Gu Bowen sighed, "Since it is destined to be like this, we have no choice but to respect his last wish and adopt a child from the clan to our house."

"No!" Lu cried and refused, "Master, I don't want those people to come to our house. I only recognize He'er as a son in my life."

Gu Bowen tilted his head, tears were streaked across Lu's face, his eyes were red and swollen, he felt a tug in his heart, knowing that it was too early to say those things, and it would make Han'er recall Gu He's death, so he suppressed it and nodded, " Well, whatever you say."

After Gu He's parents left, Gu Beiyu and Fan Chen looked at each other for a moment, Gu Beiyu said: "Brother-in-law, let's go back, the emperor should be in a hurry."

"Ah."

Fan Chen didn't say much, and followed Gu Beiyu back to Linde Hall.

The little emperor looked at the two nervously, "Third emperor uncle, did the little uncle return in triumph?"

Gu Beiyu stood in the hall and said loudly in front of everyone: "My Majesty, in the battle of Yanshui Island, we won a great victory in the Western Qin Dynasty and wiped out all the members of the Fan clan, leaving no one alive. However, the regent Wounded in the battle."

The little emperor's breathing suddenly became heavier. He no longer cared about the battle situation, he only cared about his little uncle's injuries.

"He said in his letter to Wei Chen that he wanted to stay on Yanshui Island to recuperate until he recovered."

"Is little uncle seriously injured?" The little emperor raised his heart in his throat.

"Somewhat serious." Gu Beiyu nodded, "Fortunately, the military doctor treated him in time, so there is still a possibility of recovery in the future, but he won't be able to return in the short term."

"It's okay, I can afford to wait, as long as I can." The little emperor said stubbornly.

Although the news of Uncle Sanhuang made him feel uncomfortable, fortunately, the little uncle did not die, but was injured, and there is still a chance to recover and come back safely in the future.

That's the only thing that comforts him.

Jing Se, who was sitting next to Fan Chen, always felt that there was something wrong with Gu Beiyu's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find any flaws, so he turned his head to look at Fan Chen.

Fan Chen smiled at her.

Jing Se lowered her voice, "Is Gu He really seriously injured?"

"Ah."

Fan Chen understood very well that with Jing Se's intelligence, once he talked too much, it would be easy for her to see his flaws, so he only responded lightly without any unnecessary expression on his face.

"Why do I feel a little strange?" Jing Se's eyes were full of suspicion, she couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, in short, she felt that everything was wrong and there was no flaw in it.

Fan Chen touched her forehead, "Is it possible that she is sick? Otherwise, why are you suspicious?"

Jing Se glared at him, looked away, and ate vegetables boredly.

The palace banquet was over, and the husband and wife returned to the Chu Palace.

After entering the door, Fan Chen sat motionless on the soft chair, unable to tell what he was thinking.

"Fan Chen?" Jing Se called out several times before waking him up.

"What's wrong?" Fan Chen said casually.

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "Should I ask you this? What's wrong with you? You lost your mind as soon as you came back. If you have anything to say, just say it. It's much more useful for two people to share than for you to be brave alone."

Fan Chen thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and hugged her, "Come with me to burn some paper money!"

Jing Se froze, "Burning paper money? To whom?"

"Gu He."

His voice was like a thunderbolt, knocking her unconscious.

"Gu... Gu He? Fan Chen, what are you kidding, Gu He is such a powerful person, how could he... Impossible, your jokes are not up to par."

Fan Chen also hoped that this was just a joke.

She didn't hear him speak again, and suddenly her eyes got wet, "Is he really... dead?"

"We died together with Yanshui Island. We were blown into pieces, leaving no bones left." Fan Chen gently closed his eyes, wishing that all this was just a nightmare.

Jing Se suddenly pushed him away, "Did you know that he would never come back after this expedition?"

She remembered the painting that Gu He gave to Fan Chen. His last wish was that Fan Chen could pass on the painting from generation to generation.

Yes, she should have thought of it earlier, if he could come back, how could he have given such an important thing to Fan Chen?

"Yes." After pondering for a long time, Fan Chen finally nodded and admitted.

"Before the expedition, he came to me alone and said he would never come back."

"Why?" Jing Se took a step back involuntarily.

"He's been poisoned." Fan Chen looked at her, and said warmly, "Zong Zhengchu said that even he can't do anything about this kind of poison."

"That's why Gu He invited himself to go to war, just to die at sea?" Jing Se suddenly felt that he had lost the strength to speak.

"Maybe it is!" Fan Chen drooped his long eyelashes, "I'm sorry, I can't do anything."

Jing Se woke up suddenly, and smiled bitterly, "What did you say sorry to me?"

"If I can save him, he will cultivate a rare generation of Mingjun for Xiqin. It's a pity..."

"The one who should say I'm sorry is me." Jing Se hoarsely said, "That time when Bao Qinghuan's people sent Gu Gan back, if I hadn't been careless on the way to the incense, I wouldn't have let him rob Weiwei easily , let alone Gu He’s rescue later, I don’t know if he was poisoned at that time, but I know that he was seriously injured that time.”

If it wasn't for that accident, Gu He would not have been injured. Perhaps, he is still in good condition until now. This time, he will return triumphantly with an army of [-], and leave an impressive mark in the history of the Western Qin War.

Fan Chen stared at her blankly, her slightly pale face was full of guilt and self-blame, the fragility in her eyes seemed to break when the wind blows, making people feel that their hearts are tugging and painful, even breathing is difficult. Some difficulty.

"I don't blame you." Fan Chen shook his head, "He was poisoned by an injury he suffered many years ago, and he has been recuperating in the mansion. s reason."

Jing Se raised her head in a daze, moved her lips, but couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Fan Chen took her hand and brought her into his arms, tied the cloak on her himself, and ordered Qian Mo to prepare paper money, and then took Jing Se to the garden.

The two of them sat on the twig, looking at the ghost papers in the brazier that were burned into black ashes like butterfly wings, and they were a little dazed.

"I just sent Master away, and I didn't expect to send another one away so soon." Jing Se closed her eyes, a little unwilling to face it, "Although I have no friendship with Gu He, I know that he is an honest gentleman and he is also dedicated to his duties. If you want to say that besides you and Master, the only person in this world who can impress me is him. To be honest, I am very sad that he died like this."

The voice gradually lowered, "Ruo Ruo... Ru Ruo, if I knew that he was poisoned, I would stop him from going out to sea, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, isn't it?"

Fan Chen pulled his somewhat icy fingertips and put them in his palms, "Brother, there is a saying that is absolutely correct: everything is fate, and you can't help it at all. Regarding Gu He, not to mention you, even I feel regretful in every way, But what can we do? Fate has long been doomed, people will only move forward in this life, there are not so many "ifs" let us start all over again. In this world, some people will die every day, and some people will continue to live, reciprocating reincarnation, alternately Intermittent, the end point of each person's life is different, in Buddhist terms, it's just the word 'good fortune'." After a pause, his voice became hoarse, "Gu He's good fortune is roughly like this."

Jing Se bent over and picked up a stack of ghost paper and threw it into the brazier, as if seeing the man's beautiful face and the gentle smile on his lips in the firelight.

The first time I saw Gu He was on the day when Emperor Taihe passed away. He accompanied King Yong to express his condolences. With his calm demeanor and handsome face, Jing Se could classify him as someone who could be with him in no time. Among the people who are shoulder to shoulder with Fan Chen.

At that time, she thought that he was an enemy.

After confronting each other several times, she realized that this person was like a cloud of mist, which could not be seen through.

Later, Fan Chen told her that the enemy they had always thought was actually the Jiaolong who had been lurking for a long time, with the purpose of going out to sea one day to destroy the country's cancer.

Knowing the truth, Jing Se recalled the past again, and suddenly found it funny.

Originally, they wanted to wait for that person to come back, and they would have a good time getting drunk, but he didn't give her a chance, and left so resolutely.

Asking someone to fetch fine wine, Jingse filled a glass for herself and held it up, her eyes slowly blurred under the light of the fire, as if the figure in the fire hadn't left yet.

"Gu He." Jing Se pushed the cup, "This cup is a toast to your 23 years old."

Raising his sleeves, Jing Se poured himself another cup, "This cup is a toast to our three years of friendship."

"The last cup." Jing Se drank it with trembling lips, "I respect you... In the world I can't see, it will be safe and smooth, and I will live forever without worry."
