Gu Yunjin and Pan, who were sitting in the room waiting, immediately got up and went out as soon as they heard the maid waiting outside the door say that General Gu was back.

But as soon as he took a few steps, he saw General Gu walking in hurriedly.

Gu Yunjin saw the white gauze wrapped around his hands at a glance, and asked in surprise, "Daddy is injured?" ”

General Gu said in a deep voice: "It's no big deal, the imperial doctor has already seen it." ”

As soon as Pan Shi saw his solemn expression, he knew that things were not simple, and his heart couldn't help but sink, "What is the situation in the palace?" Did the assassins catch it? Have you found out where the Assassins came from? ”

General Gu sat down at the table tiredly, sighed heavily, and said, "How many times have Shengjing City searched back and forth and didn't find the shadow of the assassins, they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. However, the guards found clues in the prison and determined that the Assassins were remnants of the royal family of the Northern Dynasty. ”

"Northern Dynasty!" Pan suddenly let out an exclamation, but his originally warm voice became sharp at this time, and his face lost its color in an instant.

"Mother, are you okay?" Gu Yunjin saw Pan's violent reaction, his face was as white as paper, and he asked worriedly.

General Gu glanced at Pan, then at Gu Yunjin, and then coughed lightly, with a certain reminder in his voice.

Pan Shi received General Gu's reminder, and he was busy steady, and said in a difficult voice: "I'm fine, it's just that I was too surprised to hear the Beisu Dynasty, you know, it has been extinct for more than ten years." ”

Gu Yunjin couldn't help frowning, "Yes, it's been fifteen years since the Northern Dynasty perished, didn't it mean that all the people in the royal family were dead at that time?" Why is there a royal remnant now? ”

General Gu also couldn't figure it out, and sighed again and said, "I don't understand either, when the Northern Imperial City was besieged, no one escaped and survived. ”

"At that time, the war was so chaotic that it was unknown if there were any fish that slipped through the net. What now? At that time, it was our family who led the troops to fight, will these remnants seek revenge on our family? And the emperor, will the emperor blame our family for not destroying the enemy and leaving trouble? The more Pan spoke, the more frightened he became, and his voice changed to emphasis.

This is really a worrying and troublesome matter, Gu Yunjin thought in his heart. The imperial court was very taboo about these things of the previous dynasty, and the method of execution basically adhered to the iron-blooded principle of 'it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one', for fear that they will resurgence and threaten the country. Now that the remnants of the royal family of the Northern Dynasty are blatantly making trouble under the emperor's nose, the emperor must be very angry.

General Gu looked fearless, "How much effort we have put into the great inheritance, everyone can see that the emperor has not been deaf to this point." As for the revenge of the remnants, come as you want, and I will accompany you to the end. ”

Gu Yunjin looked at the awe-inspiring General Gu, his eyes showed admiration, he was worthy of being the general of Zhenguo who provoked half of the Great Cheng Dynasty, and he really had the style of a general.

At this time, General Gu glanced at Gu Yunjin intentionally or unintentionally, and then said to Pan: "The prince of Nanling was injured in order to save the queen mother, and the princess of Nanling was also frightened. The prince saved Jin'er, and he should thank him personally. ”

That bastard got hurt? Gu Yunjin's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't react more, and accepted General Gu's arrangement in full.

After a few more people sat for a while, Pan said to Gu Yunjin: "Jin'er, it's getting late, go back and rest." ”

Gu Yunjin got up and said goodbye: "Okay, the daughter is gone, and the father and mother will rest early." ”

After she left, Pan Shi looked at General Gu, wanted to speak several times, struggled for a long time, and didn't dare to say the words hidden in his heart, and in the end, he only said with a heavy heart: "The master must be very tired in the past two days, so let's rest early." With that, she turned and went into the inner room.

General Gu followed her into the inner room before asking, "What do you want to say?" ”

Pan was silent and did not speak, only reached out and gently undressed him and changed his dressing gown. When the two hideous scars on his chest appeared in front of him, Pan's eyes couldn't help but sting slightly.

Fifteen years have passed, but now that she looks at it so shockingly, it reminds her of the tragic war fifteen years ago. That year, she lost her two sons, and almost lost the man she loved all her life.

She gently stroked the scar with her hand, and her heart unconsciously filled with warmth, but at the same time, the worry in her heart was even worse.

General Gu pressed her hand tightly to her heart, the love between husband and wife for many years, needless to say, the mind is known.

After a long time, General Gu softly reassured: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Pan's eyes were slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "I'm just worried, what if Jin'er's identity is discovered?" I'm afraid it will be a disaster for the whole family. ”

General Gu was silent for a moment before he said, "No, everyone who knew about this at that time was silenced." Besides, even if someone finds out, Jin'er is only the daughter of a commoner in the Northern Dynasty and will not pose a threat to the imperial court. ”

General Gu said, his mind couldn't help but go back to that day fifteen years ago.

That day was the day when the Great War of Inheritance finally ended. In the past few days of fighting day and night, he has suffered countless wounds of all sizes, and at the critical juncture of the final siege of the imperial city, the war is about to be won, but he did not expect that he was careless because of the news of his son's martyrdom, and he never noticed the hidden arrows fired by the enemy.

At a critical moment, a woman holding a baby in her arms blocked a fatal arrow for him.

The arrow was poisonous, and the woman's life was on the verge of death, and she entrusted her infant baby to him.

In front of the soldiers, he did not accede to the woman's request, but only asked the child to be taken away and waited for it to be dealt with later.

But that night, he had the baby smuggled out with another baby, and then secretly brought it back to the house to raise his daughter who had just died.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Pan Shi looked at the general and didn't speak for a long time, then looked up at him and asked.

General Gu held her hand tightly and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said solemnly: "If it wasn't for Jin'er's mother to save me, I wouldn't have survived, so I have always cared for Jin'er as my own life, which is what our family owes her." No matter what happens in the future, you can't blame her, you have to treat her well. ”

Pan Shi said half-angrily and half-dissatisfied: "I know, the master is afraid that I will treat her badly, but I don't know that this is looking down on me." Let's not talk about her mother's kindness to our family, let's just say that Jin'er herself is also a caring and good daughter, in my heart, she is my biological daughter, and it is too late to treat her badly. ”

General Gu nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, you're right, she will always be our biological daughter." ”
