Chapter 11: The Past
Qin Huai lay on the couch that night and couldn't sleep, originally she thought that she came to Yunzhou to avoid the dispute, but she had only been here for two days, and the Bai family had such a big grievance, and it was nothing to rectify a Bai family, but she didn't want to lose her peace with her uncle, and she couldn't live a safe and sound life.
Today, the Bai family is also angry, maybe tomorrow he will find some damage tricks to force himself to comply, so that the days of fighting women are no more leisurely than in the palace.
Moreover, Gu Baixiu suddenly came all the way from Xunyang to the Yan family, if it wasn't for himself, what other priorities were there?
The cold wind in the night blew the branches outside the window trembling, and the mottled shadows cast on the window paper were strange, Qin Huai unconsciously gathered the brocade quilt that was not thick, and shrank back into the couch.
The bed board was hard like a marble pavement, and Qin Huai had to press half of the quilt on his side every night, only listening to the rope outside, as if someone was stepping on snow.
"Can the princess rest?"
A man's subtle voice came from outside the window, which was like water hitting a stone, cold and a little attractive. Qin Huai could recognize that this was Gu Baixiu coming, she was so pleasantly surprised, she immediately turned over and put on a coat and went to open the door.
She knew that Gu Baixiu must have come for herself.
As the door gradually opened, Gu Baixiu's shocking face slowly appeared in front of Qin Huai's eyes, his temples were like a knife, and his eyebrows were like ink paintings, making people wonder if the man with such a face came out of the fairyland.
Every time Qin Huai looked directly at this man, he was always amazed by his appearance, and this time was no exception.
"I shouldn't be bothering in the middle of the night, can I borrow a step from the princess to talk in detail."
Gu Baixiu's words made Qin Huai pull out of his past thoughts, behind him was the bright moon and the white snow, and the entire simple courtyard had become different because of his arrival.
Qin Huai staggered in embarrassment and let Gu Baixiu enter the house.
Gu Baixiu still only wore a thin white dress, and his whole waist was straight, thinking that the people who practiced martial arts were different from the laymen, always elegant and dusty, and always unbeatable.
"I don't know if Gu Shaoxia came this time, but Sister Yanxin has a way to let me go back to Beijing?"
The sister of Yanxin in Qin Huai's mouth is Liu Yanxin, the talented girl of Lanzhou City, some time ago she was the person of the year in the whole Tianyu, others only knew that she was a talented woman in Lanzhou, the daughter of the general of the Tianyu Hussars, and the first disciple of the Broken Army Mountain, but they didn't know that behind this time to seize the heir, it was Yanxin who single-handedly planned everything, and Qin Huai did participate in Liu Yanxin's entire plan.
Now that the three emperor brothers can stand out among the princes, Liu Yanxin has made great contributions, Qin Huai and Yanxin hit it off at first sight, and Yanxin has helped her with advice many times, but people are not as good as heaven, even if the second emperor brother has fallen and died, she still can't avoid this final blow.
Gu Baixiu's eyes revealed a faint light in the darkness, and he lowered his head to look at Qin Huai's eyes, his tone full of apologies.
"I came this time to be entrusted by my sister, in order to complete the plan that day, my sister had to take out a fake scroll to deceive the second prince, but I didn't expect the second prince to believe it and lead to this uproar to implicate the princess. In order to keep the princess safe, Gu has already asked the master to instruct him to protect the princess until the princess returns to Beijing smoothly. ”
Fake reels?
"Are you saying that in fact, I am really the princess of Tianyu, and it is the second emperor brother who is lying with the warlock of Wuxiang Pavilion?"
Qin Huai instantly became excited when he heard this, and even raised his tone. She knew that Gu Baixiu had two weaknesses, one of which was that he never lied and deceived people.
So for his words, Qin Huai never doubted it.
"The second prince is indifferent, and in order to achieve his goal, he brutalized Tianyu's loyal ministers, deceived good generals, and even did not hesitate to plot to force the palace, he is really not a candidate to inherit the unification. In order to protect His Majesty and return Tianyu to a clean place, the junior sister must not make such a decision, and I hope that the princess will not blame her. ”
With these words, the big stone that had been hanging in Qin Huai's heart fell, and she knew that her mother would never do anything unfaithful, and she must be the blood of her father!
She explained with a smile on her face.
"How can it be, if the second emperor brother is really allowed to inherit the position of the prince, I am afraid that according to the grievances between his mother and my mother back then, it is difficult to say whether I have this kind of treatment today."
The entanglement between Qin Huai and Qin Xuanlang started from twenty years ago, if she didn't choose to take sides in this battle for succession, then once the second emperor brother got the position of prince, I am afraid she would have to settle down with her.
When his father was still the prince, his mother Yan family chose a dancing girl named Mo Yunlan to send to the palace, and it was not until his father inherited the throne that his mother was included in the harem as a noble concubine.
And this Mo is the biological mother of the second emperor's brother, just because he was just a beauty at the beginning, even if he gave birth to the prince, he was still oppressed and humiliated by his mother's concubine. The mother concubine always humiliated her because of Mo's humble background, and she was secretly resentful because she gave birth to a prince one step ahead of her mother and was made a concubine.
After all, the Mo family came out of the Yan family, and the only person she can honor is the Yan family, so the Mo family's fierceness towards the mother concubine will always dare not speak out, and she followed the mother and concubine back then, which made the Mo family mother and son feel better.
It wasn't until the sudden death of the mother concubine and the relocation of the Yan family out of the capital that the Mo mother and son had a chance to breathe.
Everyone knew that her second emperor brother had a grudge, so naturally he spread this account on her head......
Even if Qin Xuanlang had died on the way to Ashanbu, and was accused of desertion by his fellow soldiers, he didn't end up well, not only died at the hands of bandits, but even his body was trampled by horses' hooves.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and as soon as the news came back to the court, countless courtiers came to participate, colluding with the Ashan Ministry, persecuting the general's daughter, poisoning his own brother, and slandering good ministers.
These crimes were piled up, so that his father was angry and deposed his status as a prince and reduced to a commoner, and he could only roll a straw mat and bury him in a mass grave until he died.
And Qin Huai herself has now been affected and came to Yunzhou, she does not hate the second emperor brother in her heart, and she also does not regret her decision.
Seeing that Qin Huai's face was not good, Gu Baixiu interrupted her thoughts by saying something.
"The princess can think like this, my sister and I are relieved, if there is any difficulty in the future, Gu will definitely die."
Gu Baixiu raised his hand and clenched his fists, his clothes were slightly raised, and he looked like a person in the rivers and lakes.
