Chapter 21: "Father and Daughter" Reminiscences
"Gu Shichong is ruthless, and he must fight, this time the prince will have an army against him, and his subordinates are worried that he will secretly attack the prince in order to take revenge! The prince must be extra careful in the future, especially Mrs. Su! ”
The joy of this small victory is still not able to wash away the worries about the future, thinking about the power of the Gu family, Qin Yuning frowned.
"The competition for power is a contest of life and death, winning and losing, is the eternal truth from ancient times to the present, this king just wants to do his best, as for winning or losing life and death, but look at the destiny of heaven!"
With a soft sigh, Bei Mingchen's voice just fell, and suddenly he saw a familiar figure appear in his sight from afar.
"Princess?" Seeing He Muwan walking in the direction where Gu Shichong and Su Zixi were, Qin Yuning exclaimed unconsciously.
When Qin Yuning's words fell, Bei Mingchen had already raised his feet and left the pavilion quickly.
Almost slept for a day and a night, He Muwan slept less on the night of his wedding, and even made up for all the profits.
After returning from the palace yesterday, Lige wiped the wound medicine sent by Bei Yingchen to her again, and when she woke up, the injuries on her body were not painful at all, and He Muwan wanted to go out to activities and bask in the sun.
As she walked, she suddenly heard the voice of a man and a woman talking not far away, and when she got closer, she found that the man who spoke was her father's sworn enemy, Gu Shichong.
had just married into the Ruiling Palace, and He Muwan hadn't had time to meet those warblers and Yanyan beside Bei Mingchen, so she didn't know Su Zixi yet.
But the woman who appeared in Ruiling Palace, except for the maid and mother-in-law, was just the concubine of Bei Yingchen, looking at the woman's dress, it could never be a subordinate, so even if she guessed, He Muwan also guessed Su Zixi's identity.
It is rumored that Gu Shichong and Bei Yingchen are in collusion, secretly colluding, stirring up the court unrest, and it is common for the two families to marry and come and go frequently.
He Muwan really didn't want to bump into Gu Shichong, so she simply turned around to avoid meeting with the two.
But as soon as she turned around, she suddenly heard Gu Shichong tell the woman beside her: "Recently, you must pay close attention to the movements of Bei Yingchen, pay attention to everyone who interacts with him on weekdays, and if there is any suspicious person, notify him immediately!" ”
Gu Shichong's words attracted He Muwan's attention, this woman turned out to be Gu Shichong's fine work placed next to Bei Yingchen? He Muwan couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
The footsteps immediately stopped, and she turned around, using a large tree beside her as a cover, secretly observing the two of them's every move.
"Yes! My daughter got it! After Su Zixi replied lightly, she saw Gu Shichong take out a white medicine bottle from his arms and hand it to her.
"What is this? Is the stepfather going to poison the prince? Obviously surprised, Su Zixi didn't mean to reach out and take the medicine bottle.
"The former little prince has grown up and become deeper and deeper, just in case, the original appearance can only use poison to control him."
Sighing lightly, Gu Shichong continued: "Don't worry, this is a chronic poison, and it won't kill you immediately!" As long as he is obedient and obedient, Benxiang will give him an antidote regularly, and if he takes it before each poison, his body will not be hindered! ”
"What happens if there is no antidote?" With frowning slightly, Su Zixi asked tentatively.
"Every time you have a poisonous hair, you have to endure the pain of the heart-eating vertebrae, if you don't get the antidote, the poison will become more and more frequent, until finally, the oil runs out and the lamp dies!"
It's so terrible poison, hearing this, He Muwan's heart was shocked, if she hadn't covered her mouth tightly with her hand in time, she would have exclaimed in surprise.
Staring at the medicine bottle in Gu Shichong's hand, Su Zixi's face obviously showed a look of embarrassment.
"You can't stay by Bei Yingchen's side for a long time and be emotionally attached to him, right?" Gu Shichong's fierce gaze swept over Su Zixi's body, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"I didn't!" In a panic, Su Zixi quickly looked away, and at the same time denied it.
"It's good if you don't have it!" Putting away the ruthlessness in his eyes, Gu Shichong instantly regained his fatherly appearance.
"Men have never been reliable, especially royal men, they have always only seen newcomers laughing and not old people crying, if there is no Gu family as a backing, do you think Bei Yingchen will still be so concerned about you?"
"Although you are not from the prime minister, but there is no daughter under the knees of the prime minister, all along, the prime minister has regarded you and your sister as his own, you are the people of the prime minister's mansion, only the prime minister is your eternal backing! Don't be fooled by a few sweet words from a man! ”
In Gu Shichong's mouth, the so-called Su Zixi's sister is actually not related to her, but she is just another righteous daughter adopted by Gu Shichong, to put it bluntly, it is just a chess piece, and now, that chess piece is placed next to Bei Yingyan.
Although he was unwilling to accept such a cruel truth in his heart, Su Zixi had to admit that what Gu Shichong said was indeed reasonable.
If he hadn't been sent to the Ruiling Palace as the prime minister's daughter, would he still be fond of her? If you put aside all the glitz and glitz on the surface, how sincere can a man's love for her be?
"My daughter understands that the only person in this world who can shelter her daughter from the wind and rain forever is her father-in-law, no matter where I go, the Prime Minister's Mansion is my eternal home, and my daughter will do what her father-in-law explains!" As he spoke, Su Zixi took the initiative to reach out and take the medicine bottle.
"That's right! You know the temperament of the true appearance, the eyes of the original appearance have always been intolerant of sand, even if the closest person betrays the true appearance, the original appearance will not be tolerated! ”
"Xi'er, don't do anything that disappoints your own appearance!" After a pause, Gu Shichong continued, and as he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and gently patted Su Zixi's shoulder.
"The daughter's nurturing grace is remembered by the daughter, no matter what, the daughter will not do anything right that does not cause the father, please rest assured!"
"Hmm!" The "old" of the narrative was also finished, Gu Shichong nodded with satisfaction and agreed, he was about to leave, but suddenly faintly heard a sound from behind the tree not far away.
"Who?" Suddenly startled in his heart, Gu Shichong raised his feet and walked in the direction where the voice came from.
It seemed that she also faintly heard something, Su Zixi's heart couldn't help but start to panic, and she quickly followed behind, and she and Gu Shichong walked towards the big tree where He Muwan was hiding.
After eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, He Muwan was about to leave quietly, but who knew that as soon as she moved her steps, she accidentally kicked a stone and made a sound.
Seeing that Gu Shichong and Su Zixi were getting closer and closer to her, He Muwan felt up and down in her heart, although she was not involved in officialdom, she still understood the stakes.
