Chapter II: The Last Word

Gu Huanyi's back was cold, and she finally realized why she felt inappropriate when she built the mourning hall......

If the emperor really intends to ask the Gu family about their crimes, how can the Gu family coerce public opinion to blackmail the emperor?

At that time, I am afraid that not only will I not be forgiven, but I will also be guilty of a crime!

Gu Huanyi's face turned pale and said: "The prince is angry, we are also out of proportion in a panic, how to do the funeral, all listen to the holy will arrangement!" ”

Li Congxin didn't embarrass her much, but said: "Then please ask the young lady to summon the steward of the front and back yards of the Gu Mansion, and you don't have to worry about the rest, you can serve by Mrs. Gu's side with peace of mind." ”

The Holy Envoy had just arrived at Gu's Mansion, but he knew that her mother was ill......

Gu Huan was shocked, so he had to call a few housekeepers in the family as he said, and then went back to the backyard to visit his mother.

In the main room, the light was dim, the smell of medicine was permeated, and Mrs. Gu was still asleep in a coma.

Gu Huanyi sat at the head of the bed, the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, she didn't know what the prince of Ming would do with Gu Fu, but she really had no idea.

On weekdays, there is a father in charge of the overall situation at home, and even when the father is not at home, the elder brother is also a person who can take charge of himself.

And as the youngest daughter of the family, she never worries about the big things in the family, and the biggest trouble is that Mr. Teaching went to her mother to sue her for secretly riding out of the house.

Gu Huan was anxious but powerless, so he could only cry secretly.

I don't know when, Song woke up and called her softly.

"Huan'er......" Song turned his head sideways with difficulty, and looked at his little daughter who was just fifteen years old with red eyes.

When Gu Huanyi heard the voice, he immediately knelt beside the bed, held his mother's hand and asked, "Mother, you finally woke up, do you feel better?" ”

Song touched the top of his daughter's head with pity, looked at her daughter with a haggard expression, her eyes were red and swollen, and she said distressedly: "My poor son...... What can you do in the future......"

Gu Huanyi didn't dare to tell her mother about the things that had been controlled by the holy envoy at home, but said comfortingly: "Mother, Huan'er is fine, Huan'er is not afraid, as long as the mother is well, in the future, Huan'er and her mother will depend on each other, and everything will be fine......

When Song saw that his daughter was sensible, he was even more sad in his heart, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried again.

After a while, Song Shi calmed down first, and she whispered: "Huan'er, my mother has something important to tell you, you open the dark grid above my head......"

At the head of the bed in the main room, there is a secret compartment that contains the most important things in the house.

Gu Huanyi followed his mother's instructions and opened the secret compartment, only to see a thick stack of documents inside.

She took out the paperwork and put it in her mother's hand.

The Song family explained to her one by one, which were the land deeds, the house deeds, the land deeds, the silver tickets, and the deeds of sale of the servants in the family......

Gu Huanyi realized that her mother was explaining what was going on, shook her head and cried: "I don't listen, I don't listen!" Mother, don't say it, you take these, I don't want it! ”

Song thought that her daughter would suffer much in the world alone in the future, and she was sad and speechless.

She bothered and said, "Huan'er doesn't cry, my mother has been sick for so many years, if it wasn't for your father's careful care, she would have gone a long time ago." Now that the general is going first, how can I bear to let him go alone......"

"Mother! Cheer up, don't leave Huan'er alone! Gu Huanyi was out of breath crying.

Li Congxin stood outside the master bedroom, heard the cries of the mother and daughter in the house, and stopped without moving.

The guards on the side reported in a low voice: "Shizi, only this place has not been searched." ”

Li Congxin hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "There's no need to search here, let's go." ”

Li Congxin was clearly ordered to mourn, but in fact, he came to investigate the defeat of the Gu family's army, whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

Inside the house, Song ignored Gu Huanyi's crying, forcibly explained the aftermath, and then took out the bottom letter and handed it to his daughter.

"Huan'er, you take this letter carefully, no one can read it except yourself, remember?"

Gu Huanyi took the letter blankly and was about to open it, but his mother pinched his hand again.

Song's expression was very hesitant, as if he hadn't decided whether to let his daughter read the letter.

"Mother...... What is it? Gu Huan asked uneasily.

Song closed his eyes, tears poured down, and he choked up: "This letter was received by your father on the eve of the expedition. Someone warned the Gu family, predicting that the war would be lost. Your father thought that someone had shaken the morale of the army and didn't take it to heart, but when you look at it today, it is full of prophecies. ”

"Prophecy?" Gu Huanyi was puzzled.

She didn't believe that anyone could really predict this matter, and if someone said that the defeat was right, she would rather suspect that the whole thing was a conspiracy arranged by someone.

Gu Huanyi hurriedly unfolded the letter, and after hurriedly scanning it a few times, his hands gradually trembled.

In this letter, it was not only written that the Gu family's army would be defeated in this battle, but also that the Song family died of illness, and the Gu family was confiscated due to their inability to resist the enemy. Gu Huanyi, who was pardoned, married the prince of Xianwang as a concubine, but the following year, he hanged himself and died at the age of nineteen.

Song held her daughter's trembling hand and said, "Huan'er, my Huan'er, I can't rest assured that my mother can't leave you......"

Song apparently believed what the letter said, and cried bitterly for her daughter's future.

I don't know if I've been crying too much in recent days, Gu Huanyi now feels that his brain can't turn around.

What exactly does this letter mean? Is it a conspiracy or a prophecy? Who sent it? What is the purpose?

"Mother, this can't be true, how can anyone in the world predict the future? Could this be someone's conspiracy? ”

Song said with tears in his eyes: "Your father is like you, he doesn't want to believe it, but Huan'er, if he wasn't a prophet, how could he know that there would be an avalanche in Snow Lotus Mountain, and how could he dare to assert that the Tianhu Dam would collapse?" Your father did not believe the prophecy in the letter before leaving, but he did not increase his troops to garrison the dam in the mountains, but all this was to no avail......

An avalanche caused a flash flood that broke the dam, something that is hard to imagine being able to do by man.

Gu Huanyi really couldn't explain it, but she couldn't believe the existence of the prophet.

The Song family didn't want their daughter to accept their fate, but advised: "If our Gu family really can't avoid the fate of raiding the family, Huan'er, promise your mother, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't hang yourself, my mother just begs you to live well......"

Gu Huanyi looked at the last sentence of the letter and said that he hanged himself when he was nineteen years old, gritted his back teeth and promised: "Mother, don't worry, I will not do anything stupid, Huan'er will definitely try to live." ”

Douda's tears welled up from Gu Huanyi's eyes, she threw herself on her mother, and cried: "But mother, even if it's for Huan'er, you have to take care of your body and live with Huan'er, okay?" ”

Song hugged her daughter in tears.

She can't let go of her daughter alone, but her body is not angry, even if she wants to live, she doesn't know how long she can support it.
