Chapter 50: The End of the World
I had no choice but to freeze in place like a statue at such a moment. I can't believe that I saw the last person I want to see at such a critical time.
And what makes people feel even more ashamed is that the moment I saw Taifu, I actually remembered something, maybe it should belong to my memory, the place where the incident happened was Xiyi. What really makes me speechless is how I suddenly saw a person like this, and remembered those things that seemed to have nothing to do with me but happened to me, and I am now in such an embarrassing stage.
Mrs. Guo probably didn't expect to see me here, he probably just arrived at Cangyi Temple today, and was waiting outside the door of the eldest princess's room to be received, but he happened to collide with me who had just returned to Xiyuan, he was stunned, I was afraid that he had already understood what was going on in a blink of an eye, thinking of Yuan Qi's attitude towards me before, I am afraid that Mrs. Guo also has no good impression of me at this moment.
He only cautiously poked around, and then walked over, "Why is the county lord here?" β
It's a long story, but "I don't know how to explain to him that I can't fully digest the memories I remembered when I saw him, and how can I convince him to side with me after all the things that happened after that."
"Lord Taifu, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please come in." The eldest princess's personal maid opened the door at this time, and stood outside the door with the standard smile of the royal attendant of the Extreme Northern Shao family.
Mrs. Guo turned around and wanted to go to the eldest princess.
"Master Taifu." In a hurry, I didn't care about the others and reached out to grab Mrs. Guo's sleeve, and for fear of alarming the others in Xiyuan, I pleaded in a low voice, "Now that I know my identity here, except for Yuan Qi, there is only you, and please hide it for me for the time being, and I will explain the specific situation to you later." β
Mrs. Guo was suspicious, he only glanced down at the sleeve I was holding, and I consciously let go, he didn't give me an answer, but just hesitated, and then walked towards the eldest princess's room.
What to do.
Even if he doesn't tell the eldest princess my identity at this moment, he will definitely be suspicious of me because I begged him to hide it for me, and ask the eldest princess about me, even if he will hide it from the eldest princess, but after all, he is Yuan Ying's teacher, how can he help me between me and Yuan Ying.
If he then passed the letter to Yuan Ying, I am afraid that Ming Yuan Ying will know the inside story in an urgent manner, and if he rushes back, then I have less than three days left, how can I delay it.
I was pacing in the garden, and suddenly I saw Yuan Qi open the door from the prince's room, and I suddenly had a plan in my heart, I immediately met him, and pushed him back into the room, making sure that no one saw this scene, so I closed the door with confidence.
"What are you doing!" Yuan Qi was frightened, and his voice was slightly higher.
I was afraid that he would alarm the others, so I had to signal him to whisper, "Do you know that Mrs. Guo will also come here?" β
"Mrs. Guo is here too?" Yuan Qi was slightly stunned, and then raised his eyebrows and sneered with some understanding, "Why, was it seen by Mrs. Guo." β
"So, you didn't know that Mrs. Guo would come." From his tone, I am already very sure, it is obvious that if Yuan Qi did not know that Guo Taifu would come at the beginning, there are only two possibilities, one is that Guo Taifu's sudden arrival is an unintentional act, and the second is that it is possible that there is a secret contact between the eldest princess and Guo Taifu, and they meet here, but even the prince's most respected Taifu is invited here, I am afraid that the matter to be discussed must be related to Yuan Ying, then the eldest princess is by no means a person who has nothing to do with the East Palace dispute.
Or maybe she already knew of the conspiracy between the colt and the woman who didn't know whom.
"Are you worried?" Yuan Qi saw that I was in a daze and didn't speak, probably thinking that I was afraid that Mrs. Guo would tell Yuan Ying about my identity, and his tone became very stiff again, as if he was reassuring me, "Don't worry, these people get together, it's not accidental, Mrs. Guo may blame you because of Yuan Ying, but they may not be able to take care of you now, compared to you, Yuan Ying's position as the crown prince worries them more." β
"What." I thought Yuan Qi was quite strange, and he was still angry with me before, and deliberately turned a blind eye to embarrass me, "However, since you know this, don't you have any other plans, they want to help Yuan Ying." β
"It's for Yu Wenzheng." Yuan Qi corrected my mistake and emphatically said, "And now, I am Woo Moon Zheng. Although I was worried about robbing Yuan Ying's YiqiΔ, but now, in the struggle between Yuwenzheng and Yuwenche, only by keeping Yuwenzheng's position as the crown prince can I have a chance to snatch it, right? β
"Is this what it is called, one and one heart?" I know that Yuan Qi is not as bad as he looks like, and he is by no means like he said, he wants to snatch Yuan Ying's qiΔ, perhaps, he also cares about Yuan Ying.
"Hey! What the hell are you here for! Yuan Qi seemed to have discovered the secret by me, and scolded him with some annoyance, "Is it okay? Is it okay to be known who you are? β
"You keep quiet, the wall has ears, if you are heard, I will die a miserable death." The more I worried about him, the louder it became, and there were still Gao brothers and sisters living in the garden, so I had to soften my tone again and ask him. "Can you please ask Taifu for me, I suddenly appeared here like this, I'm afraid he doesn't have a good impression of me, and he probably won't listen to my pleas, so you can help me beg him, as long as I tell Yuan Ying about this later."
"He doesn't have a crush on you, so why do you think he has a crush on me?" Yuan Qi asked knowingly, looking like a ruffian deliberately provocative, but he said the truth, "That old stubborn doesn't have a good impression of me, he only has Yuan Ying in his heart, he worships Yuan Ying as a god, it is estimated that it is useless for anyone to beg him, he will definitely stand on Yuan Ying's side and inform Yuan Ying of the matter, you better prepare yourself as soon as possible, and simply wait for Yuan Ying to come back." β
"This time, Yuan Qi didn't have to lie to you." The door was suddenly pushed open, and just when Yuan Qi and I turned around in surprise at the same time, Mrs. Guo said that he had closed the door again and walked in, he stood beside the two of us, first looked me up and down, and then looked at Yuan Qi, "Since you know that the county lord of Zhaohua has arrived in Beishao, why don't you tell me and Your Highness." β
"Then you don't know now." Yuan Qi really has such a scoundrel's face, when he called Taifu an old stubborn, I should have guessed how he provoked Taifu to deliberately-for-tat on weekdays, "Didn't you sue me yet, would you come here." β
"What's the use of suing you." When Taifu faced Yuan Qi, he had two completely different attitudes from Yuan Ying, he finished reprimanding Yuan Qi, and then turned to me and asked, "Can the county lord explain now why you are in my Beishao matter?" β
Listening to what he said, he was not asking me, but asking me to make the most reasonable explanation, I roughly organized the events of these days in words, and then timidly spoke, "Although you may not believe it, but it is actually true, from the time I woke up in Dongfu, I don't remember what happened after I committed suicide in the palace to before I returned to Dongfu, and the people around me told me that I was in a coma for two years, but I knew no, because I can sometimes feel or remember a little memory, But I couldn't tell if it was a dream or something that really happened. I went to Beishao just to find someone, to solve the mystery of my own life experience, so I made this decision to trick Yuan Ying to Nancheng, let Huangfu Xuan drag him, and I am looking for someone here. β
Mrs. Guo was silent for a while, as if he had re-understood what I said, and then he understood, but he asked sharply, "Since the county lord is here to find someone in Beishao, why don't you directly inform Your Highness, if Your Highness helps, the county lord will also get twice the result with half the effort." β
"But after all, this is my business, Master Taifu must know Yuan Ying better than me, I can think that if he finds out the truth, if the matter is not so simple, or maybe my life experience is really unacceptable, he will definitely cover up the truth and use some kind of illusion to cover up the past. In that case, I will never figure it out, only when I figure out what happened in the first place, can I know what happened to me over the years, and what happened later, I did it because I knew that these things must be related, and Yuan Ying would definitely not let me know, so I did this. "Beishao is looking for her on this trip, after all, I have made the worst plan, if the result is really so unacceptable, at least Yuan Ying will not be willing to hurt me.
"Why is the county lord sure that the person you are looking for is in Beishao, if you haven't been in contact for so many years, how can you be sure that you can find it as you wish." Taifu hit the nail on the head and pointed to the most critical point of this problem.
"Dongfu, before the Empress Dowager Wei died, sued me. She swallowed the poison and died in my arms, I believe she didn't lie to me at that time, but I really don't know how to find that person, I never met her, I was born before the founding of the country, so what happened at that time is almost unknown to anyone in the east, and it is even more a mystery about my biological mother. But I think that since it is my biological mother, if I see her, I will definitely recognize her. "I also feel that my behavior this time is a bit ridiculous and excessive, but things have come to this point, and I really can't go back, "So, Master Taifu, please give me a few more days, as long as I tell SΓΉ Yuanying about this matter a few days later." β
"Please forgive me." Taifu actually rejected my request in one bite, he looked at me, his eyes were cold and piercing, if the sight could have temperature, then it is estimated that the whole room would be frozen, just when I thought I was going to be frozen to death by him, Taifu spoke again. "County Lord, Your Highness cherishes you in your heart, and where do you put Your Highness."
I never thought he would ask that, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.
"When Your Highness knew that you were going to marry Huang Fuxuan, I happened to be by His Highness's side. I have never seen His Highness's expression like that, and he has never been so lost and overwhelmed, and although he had long guessed that Huangfu Xuanhui would secretly help you through the catastrophe of prison, he didn't expect your feelings to be so frivolous, he immediately chased Nancheng alone, leaving a qiΔ, I was worried that His Highness's reckless impulse would leave a handle on Yu Wenche's people, so I took the initiative to release Yuan Qi from the dungeon. "Taifu Guo's words have already explained my feelings to me very clearly, "I will report this matter to His Highness immediately, and ask the county lord to think about how to explain it to His Highness in person." β
Taifu calmly left, leaving silence in the room.
I glanced at Yuan Qi, and finally understood the reason why he accidentally got angry at me that day, it turned out that I had miscalculated, I didn't know that my momentary cleverness would make Yuan Ying square mess up, I didn't know that I would really hurt him, until the people around him began to accuse me of being clever, I realized that I really did a little too much.
I feel distressed, even if I don't see Yuan Ying like that, I feel very distressed. "I didn't mean to, I was afraid that you would hurt me, so I didn't let me know the truth, and I didn't think about it that much."
"What did you say?" After listening to my words, Gong Li immediately became angry.
I just told him about my encounter with Taifu, but I didn't expect Gong Li's reaction to be far beyond my expectations, so I cautiously repeated again, "I'll go see him." β
"Have you forgotten the purpose of your trip? You said you were here to find someone, you did everything you could to avoid him, why do you want to see him now? "Gong Li's words are indeed true, and the tone is as usual, but I still don't understand why I always feel that Gong Li interfered too much with me and Yuan Ying's reunion.
"At that time, I didn't know, but now, I have something more important than finding someone, it's better to let him lie to me, but now, I want to see him, I just want to make sure that he is not the Yuan Ying I am familiar with." Perhaps, he has never changed, I just want to see him, since the Taifu said that he would report to him immediately, then maybe he will be back in two or three days.
"You can't see him." Gong Li categorically intervened.
"It's not something you should meddle in, Gong Li, you're interfering too much." I got up, and I really didn't have much more to say.
"Listen to me." Gong Li also stood up and tried to explain something.
"Shh I suddenly heard a movement from outside the West Garden, the voice was getting closer and closer, signaling Gong Li to silence, no! I grabbed my sword and pulled the door open.
Oh my God, I gasped.
Although I was mentally prepared to be ambushed early in the morning, I really didn't expect that the ambush waiting for us would be so spectacular, hundreds of people in black, in the house and in the courtyard, were completely in a state of preparation.
The man in black obviously did not deliberately hide it, there were many people and there was a lot of movement, and finally he still disturbed the people living in the West Garden, and opened one door after another without knowing it and not being alert.
Finally, this battle was inevitable.
"Kill!"
