As soon as they entered the room, the three children sat down around the table, like a scholar, with their hands folded on the table. This scene made Gu Beiyue particularly nostalgic, a few years ago in the palace, the three children sat around like this every morning, listening to him tell stories.

Where did he get so many stories to tell, he was talking about history. The hundreds of years of history of the Cloud Sky Continent will be used as a story, and it will be easy for children to understand.

Rui'er always asks, why is this thing, why is that thing, Yan'er cares about how this person is, how that person is. The little shadow was usually silent, and when Rui'er and Yan'er finished asking, he would add a few questions.

Gu Beiyue knew that at this moment, the three of them were still waiting for a story, but waiting for him to answer.

Qin Min had always wanted the shadow to come and see him, but he refused. However, at this time, it was time for the shadow to come, and he had to hand over the essence of shadow art to the shadow himself.

He didn't expect Rui'er and Yan'er to come, but since they came, the matter couldn't be hidden. They are all children who he has personally taught, and he knows everything about his temper and heart. Hiding his illness will only make the children suspicious.

As soon as Gu Beiyue sat down, the three of them were still looking at him together, and under the light, the little shadow immediately saw that his face was pale.

"Daddy, are you uncomfortable?" The little shadow calmed down and became uneasy again.

"Well, Daddy is sick." Gu Beiyue said lightly.

"Taifu!" Yan'er exclaimed.

I'm sick and don't let everyone know. This......

Rui'er didn't say anything, but her brows locked suddenly, knowing that things were not as simple as they thought.

The little shadow hurriedly took his father's hand and took the pulse. It's a pity that he can't see anything. He immediately looked at his mother, who was standing aside.

Qin Min didn't know how to deal with these children, let alone what Gu Beiyue's plans were, so she could only be silent.

The little shadow looked at Daddy again, also with an inquiring gaze, but with caution and apprehension.

Gu Beiyue touched the little shadow's head and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, it's just that you're seriously ill and need to recuperate." ”

"So, Daddy has been living here for a long time, hasn't he?" Little Shadow asked.

Gu Beiyue's judgment was right, he couldn't hide it from this child's eyes. When I raised this child, I only liked his talent, but I didn't expect it to be such a smart and introverted child. Maybe it was innate, maybe it had something to do with Qin Min's teachings in those years.

Gu Beiyue admitted, "Well, I've been living here." ”

"Taifu, you have been recuperating for more than two years?" Yan'er really couldn't help but make a sound.

Before Gu Beiyue could answer, the little shadow's tears suddenly filled out of his eyes silently, and he was so anxious to wipe them away, but the tears were full again.

He remembered those days in Ningzhou, from that time on, his father had been taking medicinal baths, and later when he returned to the imperial capital, his father often took medicinal baths. His mother always told him that it was just to recuperate, not to be sick. And now......

Why is he so stupid! Why didn't something go wrong?

Not to mention anything else, with his father's medical skills, he couldn't heal himself for so many years, which was enough to make him afraid.

The little shadow didn't want to cry, but the tears were disobedient, not angry, and kept flowing, and he couldn't keep wiping them silently and without stopping.

Gu Beiyue was anxious, and hurriedly hugged the little shadow over, and at this time, Yan'er cried loudly, and Rui'er immediately hugged her over and covered her mouth.

"Taifu, what's wrong with you, you say." Rui'er's voice was a little choked, but she was still calm.

Gu Beiyue helped the little shadow wipe her tears while comforting, "It's just that I'm a little sick, a little long, don't worry, nothing serious will happen." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan'er let go of her brother's hand and asked in tears, "Then why don't you let everyone know, why do you want to lie to people?" Whining...... Taifu, you lied to people, you deceived everyone! ”

The little shadow raised her head and choked up, "Daddy, you liar." ”

Gu Beiyue was really a little overwhelmed, however, he was still calm, he said, "Yan'er, in another half a year." Your mother's ten-year appointment with your grandfather Han Chen has arrived, and it will be a tough battle, and the stakes are very high. If your queen mother loses, she will have to stay in the barrier of the Poison Sect's forbidden land to guard the mausoleum; If it wins, Daqin's northern frontier will be worry-free for at least decades! ”

Although Han Chen had promised Long Feiye to protect the Northern Frontier of Great Qin for twenty years, in his opinion, in the eyes of Long Feiye and Han Yunxi, relying on Han Chen's protection was a temporary strategy after all, and only being strong was the last word. After all, Han Chen is in retreat all the year round and doesn't take care of the affairs of the Wolf Sect at all, and the eldest lady of the Wolf Sect is not a good stubble!

Half a year ago, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi personally came to the Ice Sea and Xuankong Continent, and heard the news in the south. Moreover, Gu Qishao's frequent back-and-forth over the years has also brought back a lot of news.

The decisive battle half a year later is definitely a tough battle!

Hearing Taifu's words, the three children were quiet and confused, they didn't know what this matter had to do with the ten-year covenant.

Gu Beiyue gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the little shadow's eyes, and said seriously, "Shadow, Daddy's illness is very serious, and he has not yet found a cure. Daddy told you about it today. You keep it a secret for your dad for half a year, okay? ”

The little shadow's tears flooded again, even more fierce than just now, Yan'er cried silently, and even Rui'er, who had always been calm, couldn't help but sniff.

What does it mean that I have been sick for so many years and there is no cure?

They are all young, but they all understand.

Looking at the children's tears, Gu Beiyue's heart was like a knife.

This matter should be hidden from these children the most. If he had known that Yan'er and Rui'er would come, he might as well have secretly gone to the imperial capital by himself.

Suppressing her distress, Gu Beiyue said seriously, "The ten-year covenant of the queen mother is very important, the emperor is in charge of state affairs, and there are many opportunities for him." This matter is just my little secret with you, okay? After half a year, after the ten-year covenant has passed, you can say it again, okay? ”

After hearing this, the children understood why Gu Beiyue wanted to hide it. However, Qin Min didn't turn his head, he wanted to cry.

Half?

Gu Beiyue has less than half a year left to live!

After the ten-year covenant ended, the emperor and the queen mother couldn't see Mrs. Gu. There will be no more Gu Beiyue in this world!

They have been working hard for more than two years. However, his prophecy was like a curse on himself, and he fulfilled it one by one. Even the time, he estimated it so accurately.

Gu Beiyue, you are lying again! You're even a kid!

But I can't expose you.

Debunking, what's the use?

The emperor and the queen mother know about this, what's the use? He can't save himself, who can?

It's a great reason not to bother with the ten-year covenant!

Gu Beiyue took the little shadow's hand and hooked with him, "Half a year later, you will tell the emperor and the queen mother about this on behalf of your father, okay?" ”

Qin Min was still able to hold on, she hadn't lost her eyes red for a long, long time, but as soon as she heard this, her eyes turned red. Because, the word "for" that month!

Little Shadow didn't know the meaning of the word "for", and he didn't know that half a year later, his father no longer had the order to personally expose the lie and reveal the secret, so he used the word "for".

The little shadow hesitated.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you? After half a year, can you find a cure? If you don't get better, you'll ...... What will happen? He asked timidly.

"Strange disease. Your mother has been looking for a way, don't worry. If you can't get better, you can only soak in the medicinal bath every day. Gu Beiyue didn't give the little shadow more room to ask, and said seriously, "Promise Daddy, okay?" ”

"Really?" The little shadow asked seriously.

Gu Beiyue smiled faintly, "If you don't believe it, forget it." ”

How could the little shadow withstand the bluff of his father, and hurriedly hooked his fingers, "I believe it!" ”

After Gu Beiyue and Little Shadow hooked their fingers, they stretched out their hands towards Rui'er and Yan'er, "Your Highness, princess, half-year appointment, is it an appointment?" ”

The little shadows have made an appointment, can they not make an appointment?

As soon as they thought of helping Taifu deceive their father and mother, the brother and sister trembled in their hearts. They are often deceived in small things, but such big things ......

Gu Beiyue seemed to see through the thoughts of the two brothers and sisters. He said, "Half a year later, if the emperor blames him, the Taifu will bear it." ”

Rui'er and Yan'er exchanged glances with each other, and then they both stretched out their hands.

Seeing this, Qin Min's heart was full of helplessness and pain. But I had to admire Gu Beiyue's plan.

If he says he's mildly ill, or for some other reason, the children won't believe it. He said that he was so sick that he could not even be treated, and that the children had no room to doubt his condition.

"Rui'er, you're here to practice martial arts, right?" Gu Beiyue asked seriously.

"A few days to go." Rui'er replied truthfully.

"The shadow has to stay and practice with me, Yan'er, you ......"

Before Gu Beiyue's words were finished, Yan'er said, "I can't stay, I want to stay, and my father's shadow guard will find me." I...... I went to Fengmingshan with my brother. ”

If it was ordinary, Rui'er would definitely refuse, this girl was noisy, and her martial arts talent was average, and she once went to Tianshan Mountain with him to learn swordsmanship for a while, which almost annoyed him and several elders to death. I can't learn to talk about it, and I talk all kinds of nonsense.

Now in this situation, Rui'er agreed without hesitation, "Okay, you come with me!" ”

In this way, Qin Min made snacks for the children to eat.

The little shadow stayed, and Rui'er was afraid that the shadow guard would not be able to find anyone at dawn, so she took Yan'er to the medical city overnight.

Before they left, Yan'er remembered the little thing, and after looking for a while, she realized that the little thing was actually on the roof, looking at them.

"Little thing, are you leaving?" Yan'er shouted.

The little thing understood what she meant, and it shook its head, not wanting to leave.

"Then you can stay with the Taifu too." Yan'er was about to leave, so she turned around and reminded, "It's too sick, don't disturb him!" ”

The little things don't understand, but whatever the little masters say, it nods if it doesn't understand.

After sending Yan'er and Rui'er away, Gu Beiyue accompanied Qin Min and slept on the same couch as Little Shadow. Qin Min slept inside, the little shadow slept in the middle, and Gu Beiyue slept on her side on the outermost.

The little shadow is sensible, even if he has a lot of things to say to his father, he is afraid that his father is too tired to say it. He lay on his back, holding the hands of his father and mother, and fell asleep unconsciously.

After the little shadow fell asleep, Gu Beiyue got up, and the little thing that had been guarding the side immediately jumped on his shoulder.
