Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lone Star
The trip to Lanruo Temple brought Chu Yun a lot of trouble, Chu Yun lay in bed for a whole day, he felt the system's deep love for him, whether it was massage or acupuncture, there was no relief effect at all. By the way, that needle prick really hurts, but fortunately, Chu Yun lacks energy and can't scream, otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to scream in front of Wu Yun'er!
After cultivating at home for a few days, the aftermath of Lanruo Temple has not passed, and the entire capital is shrouded in shadows, which also causes Chu Yun to not have much interest although he knows that he has been admitted to the fame of Xiucai and is the first place.
When the crown prince was assassinated, the emperor was furious and ordered the shadow to investigate with all his might, from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, and the shadow had the authority to investigate.
The shadow is the spy agency of Great Xia, judging from this setting, this dynasty is a bit like the Ming Dynasty, and the shadow is naturally the Jinyi Guard, however, the shadow originally did not have the function of supervising the hundred officials, and the shadow was only responsible for secretly collecting intelligence, and this time, the emperor let the shadow come to the front of the stage, which does not seem to be a good sign.
The affairs of the court have nothing to do with Chu Yun for the time being, although the Hou Mansion has also been investigated by the shadows, but somewhat, they still have some restraint, it seems to be a routine.
The assassination of the crown prince and the fourth prince this time can be regarded as a thrill, the two bigwigs are fine, they are not injured, but they are a little frightened. However, there is a person who is a little unlucky, it is Wu Rui who quarreled with Chu Yun, according to the prince, Wu Rui is a heroic protector, but he can't stand the crowd, he was stabbed by the assassin, and when the turmoil calmed down, the assassin fled, and after the guards took Wu Rui down the mountain, Wu Rui finally died because he did not receive timely treatment. He was also the only one who died except for the guards.
At this time, the Guogong Mansion was shrouded in a dark cloud, Wu Rui was the eldest son of the chief of the Guogong Mansion, and he was also the eldest grandson of Wu Guogong, and he was selected as the prince's companion very early. The Guogong Mansion and the crown prince have a blood connection, and the prince's biological mother, who is the current queen, is the eldest daughter of Wu Guogong. It can be expected that Wu Rui, who hugged the prince's thigh, must have a bright future in the future, and he also pinned the hopes of the Wuguo Mansion on him.
Therefore, Wu Rui's death was a very big blow to the Guogong Mansion. The blow to Wu Rui's biological mother, Zhang, was particularly severe. For Zhang, Wu Rui is not only her son, but also the guarantee of her status in the Guogong Mansion. And now, there is nothing, she no longer has the appearance of her youth, and it is difficult to gain the admiration of the prince of the country, let alone give birth to another offspring.
Zhang's heart was full of resentment, but what she hated was not the assassin who caused Wu Rui's death, nor did she blame the prince who was traveling with her, but pinned all her resentment on Wu Yun'er.
"Father, if it weren't for Wu Yun'er's disaster star running to the mountain, Rui'er wouldn't have died at all, would you still protect her?"
Zhang's eyes were red and swollen, a white cloth was tied on her head, and she complained bitterly about Wu Yun'er's "crime" in front of Wu Guogong.
Wu Rui's death is considered an early death, and where can he let the elders wear filial piety. Wu Guogong's eyes were full of contempt, if the Zhang family really wanted to make a full set, why should he wear red. Wu Rui died, and the entire Guogong Mansion was immersed in grief, and only Zhang's biological mother was still dressed so brightly!
Wu Guogong has long been tired of Zhang's anger at Wu Yun'er, and originally thought of Wu Rui's new death, so he tolerated Zhang's many times, but Zhang's crying in front of him every day, Wu Guogong was not a good-tempered person, and he was even more angry by Zhang's nonsense.
"Zhang, are you sure you want to entangle and ask me to give you a charter?"
Wu Guogong was extremely angry, but his tone was much calmer, Zhang didn't care if Wu Guogong was angry or not, she only wanted to drive Wu Yun'er out of the country's mansion.
"Father, the daughter-in-law has already calculated with the master, Wu Yun'er was originally a lone star, and her parents were punished, otherwise, Wu Yun'er and her mother would not have died in childbirth, and the uncle would not have died in battle......"
"Shut up!"
Wu Guogong roared angrily, interrupted Zhang's whispering, and said in a deep voice: "You really don't want to see Yun'er's child? ”
"Father, daughter-in-law really don't want to see her for a day!"
Zhang's face was overjoyed, she also thought that Wu Guogong was finally unwilling to protect Wu Yun'er and was going to send her out of the Guogong Mansion, so she was naturally overjoyed, and listened to Wu Guogong's words: "Since this is the case, then you should leave as soon as possible, there is a manor outside the city in the mansion, you know where it is, you can live there in the future." You won't come back again without my permission. ”
Zhang Shi was struck by lightning, and said in a trembling voice: "Father...... The daughter-in-law didn't hear clearly, did you let Yun'er go to the manor......"
"Oh, if you didn't hear clearly, then I'll say it again, since you don't want to see Yun'er anymore, then you can pack your things and leave now! Hear me clearly now? ”
Wu Guogong didn't want to say anything more to Zhang, and with a wave of his sleeves, he shook off Zhang's trembling hands, and then ignored Zhang's slump on the ground, and strode away.
Zhang's words once again aroused the pain in Wu Guogong's heart, the pain of losing a child, which he experienced a few years ago.
Wu Yun'er's father Wu Yang is Wu Guogong's most beloved youngest son, and he is also the most brave one among Wu Guogong's descendants, when the eldest son and second son are enjoying the shadow of their father's generation with peace of mind, Wu Yang resolutely gave up a comfortable life and chose to join the army, from a small soldier, and gradually became a general guarding the frontier.
The bad news did happen after Wu Yun'er was born, when Wu Yun'er was born, Wuyang was still guarding the border pass, it was the middle of winter, the grassland people launched an invasion again in order to survive, Wu Yang as a guard, naturally led the troops to defend, but unexpectedly fell into the enemy's calculations, lost in the enemy formation, and the bones were gone.
At that time, there were also fortune tellers who gave Wu Yun'er a fate, saying that this woman had a strong personality, and she was married to Kefujun at home, and Wu Guogong beheaded the fortune teller on the spot, but the rumors still spread in the Guogong Mansion.
Because of this, Wu Yun'er was ostracized in the Guogong Mansion, and Wu Guogong saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, so the more people treated Wu Yun'er, the more he loved Wu Yun'er, just to make up for Wu Yun'er's lack of parental affection. As for whether he is afraid of being defeated by Wu Yun'er, not to mention that Wu Guogong does not believe in these evil ways, he just wanted to ask for a lottery when he asked someone to approve his life, but he never thought that he would see blood in the end. Even if he believes, what is he afraid of?
It's just pitiful, the huge Guogong Mansion is afraid that there will be no successor......
