Chapter 347: Forced into the Palace
As soon as Gu Hengxue returned to the room, she saw Gu Xinjin coming in, she sat at the table, looked at him and sneered: "My lord is so close to the ground, are you afraid that I will run away and you won't be able to explain?" β
Gu Xinjin looked at her attitude and knew that she had resentment in her heart, so he persuaded: "Xue'er, because my father knows that you have only been home for a short time, and you can't remember things clearly, you don't want to go to the capital and don't want to enter the palace, but Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, and it is a capital crime to violate it, not to mention that Your Majesty is young and handsome, and no matter how many people can't look forward to it, you should cherish such an opportunity."

Gu Hengxue looked at his fake appearance and sneered: "Cherish? If it weren't for the fact that I was going to enter the palace draft, I am afraid that adults would not be looking for me, Miss Gu, right? Adults want to use me alone to get the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven is too naΓ―ve, the harem is sinister, Hengxue thinks there is nothing special, a mediocre woman like me, why do adults think that I can enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven and let you step on me? β
Her words angered Gu Xinjin, and he said angrily: "Did you talk to your father like this? Such an opportunity, how many women in the world can't ask for it, you are now Miss Thorn Shi, as long as you are selected after entering the palace, then at least you have the position of a talented person, as long as you are willing to work hard, there are many opportunities to climb up, and when you become Jieyu, a concubine, or even a queen, it will be too late for you to thank me at that time! β
"Lord Gu, aren't you afraid that after I enter the palace, I will go to His Majesty to sue you for the royal state? I have no blood relationship with you at all, you sent a woman of unknown origin into the palace for your own selfishness, if you are investigated, do you think Your Majesty can spare you? Gu Hengxue looked at his angry appearance, and he was not afraid!
"Who said you weren't my daughter?" Gu Xinjin looked at her determined appearance and said with a calm face!
"No one needs to say, whether I am your daughter or not, you and I know it!" Gu Hengxue smiled sarcastically: "I have no interest in entering the palace as a concubine, Lord Gu might as well find an obedient daughter and send it in to be better at your mercy, otherwise something will happen, Lord Gu don't blame me!" β
"You threaten me!" Gu Xinjin sneered: "Don't forget that my identity is what I gave you, if you are not my daughter, then you have to come up with another identity, do you have another identity?" There is no reason for Your Majesty to believe your words, and I have a lot of people who can prove that you are my daughter, and then I will tell Your Majesty that you are crazy, and he scolded you and sent you back, it is not easy to deal with you, Gu Hengxue, you have to think clearly, you and I are now people in the same boat, if you obediently listen to your father, then we are all good, if you have to work against your father, not only you, but also the group of people in Zhangjia Village who saved you, how to deal with it is just a matter of my words, this is Jiaozhou, you have no ability or capital to go against me! β
Gu Hengxue didn't expect him to threaten her with the villagers of Zhangjia Village, he was right, she was alone now, if she didn't enter the palace obediently, there would be only a dead end to go against him, if she was the only one who was herself, forget it, the people in Zhangjia Village were so good to her, how could she hurt them because of herself!
Gu Xinjin saw that her face was pale and her expression was dejected, knowing that she had accepted her fate, he softened his tone and said softly to her: "Xue'er, enter the palace and give it a go, you will be a master in the future, and my father can promise you that when you see Your Majesty, you will definitely not regret today's decision, Your Majesty is the dragon and phoenix among people, and the lover that many women dream of!" β
Gu Hengxue felt physically and mentally exhausted, she looked at him weakly, and said helplessly: "My lord, Hengxue doesn't understand, what do you like about me?" β
Gu Xinjin's eyes flashed, he naturally wouldn't tell her the real reason, he only said: "I originally planned to send my daughter into the palace, but she died unexpectedly more than a month ago, I waited for three years to wait for His Majesty to choose, if I miss this opportunity, I don't know how long I will wait next time, so I must have a daughter enter the palace, others always have family background, and your background is clean enough, I have sent many people to check you, no one knows your origin, you are like appearing out of thin air, except for the identity I gave you." You'll never have another identity, that's the best! β
Gu Hengxue smiled bitterly, she didn't expect everything to be because her origin was unknown: "Since I have come to this point, I want the adult to replace me, I'm afraid it's impossible, I can promise you to enter the palace, and you also have to promise me that I can't hurt the people of Zhangjia Village, but I can't guarantee the adults after entering the palace, if I have an accident or lose my life in the palace, the adults can't embarrass them, the sinister truth of the palace, the adults won't understand!" β
"Yes, as long as you keep your mouth shut about my affairs and be my daughter with peace of mind, you decide for yourself what you want to do after entering the palace, as long as it doesn't affect the Gu family, I will treat your life-saving benefactor well!" Gu Xinjin agreed, "After entering the palace, you can find someone to write to me if you have any difficulties, you are my daughter, this is the fact now, we are both prosperous and lossy, so no matter what difficulties you encounter, my father will help you within his ability!" β
Gu Hengxue listened to his sworn words, and said in a deep voice: "As long as the adults and I promise not to hurt my life-saving benefactor, I will walk the road in the palace myself, and I will never drag down the Gu family!" β
Gu Xinjin nodded, and brought back his fatherly mask: "In this way, you can prepare well, and you will leave for Beijing in three days, and your father will let your brother escort you with the best guards, and your father will help you take care of everything, you just need to behave well on the day of selection with peace of mind!" β
Gu Hengxue nodded, watching him leave, she knew that he let the titular brother escort her, but in fact he was still afraid that she would run away, Gu Hengxue clenched her fists, and had already made a decision in her heart, she was not a person who accepted her fate, even if she was forced to enter the palace, she always had to find a way to escape, her life in this world had just begun, and she must not be trapped in the harem!
Three days later, Gu Hengxue quietly stepped into the comfortable carriage prepared by the Gu family, and Gu Zhen was at the front, leading a carefully selected group of guards to say goodbye to his parents on the road!
Gu Xinjin glanced at the carriage behind Gu Zhen, knowing that Gu Hengxue didn't want to talk to him, he instructed Gu Zhen in a deep voice: "Take care of your sister along the way, confiscate all the silver needles and medicines related to medical skills on her, and don't let her have the opportunity to touch anything that will cause harm to her, this is a long way to Chang'an, you must not let her have any accidents, you must send her to the palace safe and sound!" β
Gu Zhen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely take a good look at her and not let her leave my sight!" β
"That's good, it's not too early, so you should hurry up and get on the road, so as not to miss the hour!" Gu Xinjin groaned!
After Gu Zhen said goodbye to his parents, he turned over and rode the carriage all the way north!
