Chapter 3: I'm There

Seeing Gonggong Xie leave, Ge Luo slowly walked out of the hall, looked at Yu Gu with a sad face and asked, "Yu Gu, did the emperor arrange any errand for you, what did Gonggong Xie say just now?" ”

Yu Gu noticed that Ge Luo seemed to be deliberately avoiding Gonggong Xie, could it be that there was really something to hide from him?

For so many years, Ge Luo has not said a word about his past, and he has never asked, but today is an opportunity, he wants to reveal this secret, "Ge Luo, have you ever had anything with Gonggong Xie?" ”

When Ge Luo heard the words Grandpa Xie, she was a little uncomfortable, she knew that the matter could not be hidden for a long time, so she was ready to be open and honest, "He is my father." ”

These words were like a muffled thunder, resounding in this quiet air, and also hit Yu Gu's heart, he never thought that Gonggong Xie and Ge Luo turned out to be a father-daughter relationship.

When Ge Luo said this, her tone had already become a little low, ignoring Yu Gu's surprise, she continued, "I haven't had a father since I was a child, even if the friends around me laughed at me, but my mother told me that my father was working in the court. I would tell them that I had a great dad who couldn't just come home, but he would send us money back every month. But the older I grew up, the more I realized that it was a lie, and I began to disbelieve it, and every time I asked my mother, she would look at me sincerely and tell me with her eyes that what she said was true. ”

Yu Gu looked at Ge Luo affectionately, the expression on her face began to become painful, for so many years, she chose to hide it, there must be her bitterness, Yu Gu began to regret it, he should not let Ge Luo tear open his wounds in order to satisfy his curiosity, he interrupted Ge Luo's words and said, "Ge Luo, you don't need to say it, even if your father abandoned you, but you have me now, when I have the opportunity, I will teach this beast who abandoned his wife and children a good lesson." ”

Golo shook his head and said, "No, he didn't abandon us, he was tricked into the palace at that time, and at first he wanted to support his family, but as for why he became a father-in-law in the end, I don't know." After my mother died, she gave me a sachet, saying that it was my father's last thought for us, so I took the sachet and came to Yucheng and found him, and he also arranged me in Hong Wuye's place, so that I could have a home. ”

"I'm sorry, Ge Luo, I shouldn't have forced you to say this, you and Gonggong Hong didn't recognize each other publicly, I'm afraid it's also to avoid causing him trouble." Yu Gu gently pressed his hand on Ge Luo's shoulder, wanting her to feel better.

This matter has been hidden for so long, Ge Luo has never been relaxed in her heart, originally she thought it would be embarrassing to say it, but now she is very relaxed, took a deep breath, looked at Yu Gu with a smile and said, "It's okay, I'm not okay now, don't worry about me, but you, haven't told me yet, what is he here for, did he let you go to Nandu?" ”

Today's events are one after another, so that Yu Gu's heart suffers round after round of blows, Yu Gu thought to himself: how many things are Ge Luo hiding from him, thinking of this, he can't help but be a little angry, he has always thought that Ge Luo is sincere to him, but why his future and fate, Ge Luo knows and doesn't tell him.

"Ge Luo, tell me, you knew that my father arranged for me to go to Nandu?" Yu Gu's tone was like a question, and it was like a pleading.

Every time the emperor ordered to do something, Yu Gu always did it, no one ever told him why he did it, he was at the mercy of others like a chess piece, but Ge Luo always couldn't bear it in his heart, and always wanted to help him. She didn't mean to hide this matter, even if she told him, Yu Gu couldn't change anything, this matter was not just Yu Gu's business, it was a political rivalry between the two countries, it was better not to tell him, let him be carefree.

"Yu Gu, in fact, I don't know much, what I know is just the leftovers in the emperor's entire plan. You also know how delicate the situation is today, since the battle of Shangxian we and Nandu have been tied, although it is a draw, but we all know that it is because the emperor agreed to some conditions of the emperor of Nandu, Nandu did not continue to attack us. ”

Yu Gu listened to Ge Luo's words, and naturally guessed something: "Do these conditions include letting me go to Nandu to marry their princess?" ”

"Yes", Goro carefully observed Yu Gu, for fear that what he said would hurt Yu Gu.

The more Yu Gu listened, the more confused he became, and said to Ge Luo, "If you lose the battle of Yucheng, you can still marry the princess of Nandu, is it because the emperor of Nandu has a brain in the water, or there must be fraud in this, isn't it that the princess of Nandu looks strange and ugly, in order to improve their royal bloodline, so let me marry her?" ”

Looking at Yu Gu's bewildered face, he continued, "Princess Zitong of Nandu looks comparable to a fairy, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. On the surface, we took advantage of Nandu, but the Nandu Emperor also had an additional condition, that is, let your children be the emperor of Nandu, and the details of this were only known to the people who signed the peacetime agreement at that time. ”

Before Ge Luo finished speaking, Yu Gu laughed so hard that he couldn't stand still, "Let me laugh for a while, is this Emperor of the Southern Capital a spy we sent in the past, so for the sake of the future of Yucheng." Even if we let the two children become the emperor of Yucheng, what benefits can Nan get, this child will give his father's country to outsiders? ”

"No one in the world knows what medicine is sold in the gourd of the Emperor of Nandu, since Nandu has become the first hegemon in the world, it is the means of Emperor Nandu. I don't know why the emperor chose you in the first place, but what you have to understand is that there is a reason why this family affair is known as "blood and kin", that is, the emperors on both sides regard you as an outcast of this game of chess. And you, an outcast, are still a ...... who has been raised as an assassin since childhood."

Ge Luo couldn't go on, and a sadness in her heart filled her whole body from the bottom up, and her heart was tugging at her heart like an invisible thread, and this thread was Yu Gu.

"I won't let you take this risk! If you want, we'll pack up and get out of this cage tonight. As he spoke, he tugged at Yu Gu's sleeve, as if he was coquettish and pleading. Yu Gu saw that Ge Luo was so worried about him, and he was very moved in his heart, and stretched out his hand to grab Ge Luo's hand, "It's okay, isn't it just a game of chess, who is the chess piece and who is the operator." ”

After speaking, Yu Gu took Ge Luo's hand and ran, and after running for a while, Ge Luo stopped and asked Yu Gu, "Where are we going?" Yu Gu looked at Ge Luo with a puzzled face, and didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and hooked Goro's nose, "You'll know when you arrive", pulled up Ge Luo and continued to run, running and running to the front of the Contemplation Palace.

Ge Luo has been in this palace for three years, and has never been to a place other than the South Palace, the grandeur of the palace in front of him, the gilt on the main hall, the red wall of the ancient trees, the green tile Yangyang, and the most eye-catching mahogany relief standing in the side hall, Ge Luo was attracted by all this in front of him, raised his head to look at the unreal dazzling light in the sky, and subconsciously blocked it with his hand.

Yu Gu stood in place and watched Ge Luo merge with this antique fragrance, and couldn't bear to disturb the tranquility of time. After a long time, Ge Luo realized that he was a little out of shape, turned to look at Yu Gu and said, "What are we doing here?" ”

Yu Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "I was worried just now, you won't go with me, but now I know, wherever I go, you will follow." Before I go, I need to find out one thing, whether my father will really bet on me. ”

Gloo looked at this innocent boy, and in the sun, his smile was like a light, dazzling but exciting.

At this time, it was Gonggong Xie who walked out of the main hall, "The emperor doesn't want to see you, you go back, I can tell Your Majesty if you have anything." ”

As soon as he came up, he was a preemptive strike, and he must have been haunted by the events of that day, but he didn't expect Gonggong Hong to be so small-bellied, Yu Gu thought to himself.

Yu Gu was also unkind, he used to be a little in awe of Gonggong Xie, but since he knew his secret, he began to be bold, "Then you tell your father that I must see him today." Yu Gu looked at Gonggong Xie with a firm expression.

"The emperor has decreed that the palace will be closed today, and no one is allowed to disturb it, even if it is the third prince." Father-in-law Xie seemed to be prepared, choking on every word.

"It seems that my father knew that I was coming and was prepared, no wonder I didn't see a single guard all the way in just now. It is really good to choose to close the temple at this time, the closing time is generally one month, unless there is an emergency military situation in the middle, and the temple will not be opened, which is an iron law. I want to see my father only a month later, and at that time, I'm afraid that if I don't leave by myself, I'm afraid that I will be blown away by these people in the Executive Division. Yu Gu raised his head and took a deep breath, Ge Luo looked at Yu Gu with an expressionless face on his face, every time Yu Gu had this expression, Ge Luo knew that he was digesting this sadness.

"If the third prince has nothing else to do, then the slave family will retire first, and I will wait for you to triumph?" Gonggong Xie's words did not have a trace of warmth.

Yu Gu knew in his heart that he had to see his father, if he couldn't see his father this time, he would go to Nandu in such a daze, I am afraid that he would not sacrifice his life for the country, but as cannon fodder and die tragically in other countries.

Even if he knew that he saw his father, his father would not tell him anything, but he seemed to have a feeling in his heart that going to Nandu this time would be a life of nine deaths, whether it would be the last time he saw his father, but he wanted to let his father know that he was the most willing person among all the princes of his father to fight for the country, and he wanted to make his father ashamed of the debt he owed to him for so many years.

"Gonggong Hong, I have a top secret from Nandu, I must see my father and the emperor today, and hand it over to my father in person, this top secret involves whether our Jade City can be invincible among the four major countries in the future." Yu Guyi said rhetorically.

"You don't have to be so tempting, I'm not going to let you in. Even if there is really a top secret, it will never be brought by you, no one in the palace knows that you have closed news, how can there be information about Nandu, could it be that the princess of Nandu gave you a dream? ”

Ge Luo heard this ridicule and immediately responded, "Gonggong Xie, don't say it, Yu Gu does have a top secret and needs to see the emperor to tell him." And how this top secret came about, you don't need to know, if you insist on not letting you see the emperor, do you know what the end of this crime of colluding with foreign enemies is? “

Gonggong Xie ignored Ge Luo's words, even for his own daughter, he was absolutely cautious, which is why he was able to stand in his current position within a few years, relying on his ruthlessness.

Grandpa Xie also knew what to do, and when he turned around to leave, he was stopped by Yu Gu, "You really don't help me, you have to think clearly, Grandpa Xie." ”

Gonggong Xie was unmoved when he heard this, and said goodbye to Yu Gu and left.

Yu Gu looked at Ge Luo who was full of disappointment, and thought that if he brought Ge Luo over, the Hong Gong Guild would see the father-daughter relationship, and help Yu Gu at a critical time, but he didn't expect that this old fox would not even give face to his own daughter, and he was lost but still comforted Ge Luo, "Don't worry, Ge Luo, I have other ways, I will see my father, let's go back to Nangong first, and plan well." ”

After listening to Yu Gu's words, the expression on Ge Luo's face became even stiffer, and he said to Yu Gu, "If you can't see the emperor this afternoon, wait until the evening, and the executive department and the gang will probably let you leave for the southern capital." ”
