Chapter 702: Half-sibling
This kiss was accompanied by this sentence, and instantly nailed Gu Congyuan to the spot.
His brain was blank for a while, Gu Congyuan had never been so dazed and stunned, as if it was now dark and daytime and had nothing to do with him, his mind was completely mush!
What did Yao'er just say? Who is said to be the emperor's biological son? He probably heard it wrong!
He really didn't dare to imagine that if he was a fake prince, then what Gu Congyuan had done all these years had done to help and abet the abuse! It's an atrocity!
Lu Yao saw him looking at him with a blank face, and felt more and more that Gu Congyuan was really pitiful and distressing.
How can anyone come to his position, and he is stupid to not even know his true identity......
Thinking that no one had really accompanied Gu Congyuan for so many years, Lu Yao couldn't help but feel a burst of sourness, her nasal cavity was astringent, and her voice was a little out of tune, I don't know if she was shocked by this good news, and she wanted to cry a little.
She looked at the man, and her expression became slightly moved: "Second Highness, what are you doing in a daze?" Is this news not exciting enough? Or is it ...... Didn't you hear clearly? β
"Then I'll reluctantly repeat the news, who let it come too late?" Lu Yao stood on tiptoe and said in a small voice in people's ears, "Congratulations!" Second Highness! You are the only second prince in this world who is connected to His Majesty's blood! There is no one else! β
Gu Congyuan's eyes gradually turned red, and Su Ri's cold voice couldn't help trembling: "These...... Is it all true? Am I really King Cong? β
Lu Yao nodded, the more she looked at him walking on thin ice, and even looked a little humble about asking, the more her heart felt as if she had been shattered, and the pain was tight.
"Yao'er, good Yao'er, you tell me about this matter, what's going on? Why did I grow up in the Shadow Pavilion since I was a child? Shouldn't King Cong really grow up in the palace? Why did Gu Huai keep asking me to call him father? Why didn't my mother tell me this? Gu Congyuan pinched Lu Yao's shoulder excitedly, and couldn't control his strength for a while, Lu Yao hissed lightly.
He hurriedly let go, realized his gaffe, rubbed Lu Yao's shoulder again, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry...... It's that this king is too anxious, you talk to me slowly, one by one, okay? β
"Okay, well, as many questions as you want, I'll tell you, who made Princess Cong so smart and clever, and is the virtuous helper of His Royal Highness?" Lu Yao blinked his clear eyes, looking a little playful and cute.
Previously, Gu Congyuan didn't dare to listen to the truth, for fear that he would be an impostor.
He also asked Lu Yao to go back to the room and talk to him carefully, but now that he suddenly got this heavy news, he really couldn't wait for a moment, it was not very cold outside, and the temperature was suitable, which just made him feel a little sober.
"First, you are indeed born to His Majesty, when the new emperor ascended the throne, there was a mutiny in the palace, Xiao Guifei had two sons in three years, Mr. gave birth to you, and then gave birth to Ah Yuan." Lu Yao said slowly, "It's just that Concubine Xiao Guifei was weak and helpless back then, and the men were busy fighting, and as soon as she gave birth to you, she was taken away by Gu Huai, who was crazy with jealousy, Gu Huai knew that you were the emperor's child, but promised Xiao Guifei that she would not kill you." β
Gu Congyuan showed a somewhat dazed and confused look on his face, but soon, he reacted.
Why did Gu Huai have to take him away......
Just because he is Gu Ji's child, Gu Huai, who failed to ascend the throne, wants to take away his younger brother's biological flesh and blood, and founded the Shadow Pavilion, single-handedly training his younger brother's son, and has been abusing Gu Congyuan for so many years, saying that he wants Gu Congyuan to become a talent, but in fact, in his heart, he is just taking revenge on his younger brother by whipping Gu Congyuan's excuse.
For so many years, Gu Congyuan has always thought that although Gu Huai is harsh and harsh to him, there is at least some father-son affection, even if Gu Huai beats him no matter how much he beats him, it is for his good.
Originally......
Gu Congyuan almost didn't catch his breath, he closed his eyes tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's me who is passionate, I always thought that he was trying to make me a talent enough to compete with the prince for the world, but I didn't know that it was me who recognized the thief as my father, and I was simply ...... Stupid! β
"I don't blame you for this, you were still an infant baby at that time, and even Concubine Xiao couldn't do anything to him, she could only watch you being snatched away by him, what could you do at that time?" Lu Yao said reassuringly.
She paused, and saw that Gu Congyuan seemed to be slightly relieved, before she continued: "Concubine Xiao has always been very concerned about you in the Shadow Pavilion, so she also quietly passed on the book to warn Gu Huai not to act rashly, and then Gu Huai forced him to get pregnant and give birth to a child again, that is Ah Yuan." β
"This time, it's Gu Huai's biological flesh and blood, right?" Gu Congyuan asked in vain.
He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out what Gu Huai had done so many years of frenziedness...... forced the concubine, competed for the throne, and founded the Shadow Pavilion after failure, which was also something that Gu Huai was able to do.
"This king finally figured out why Ah Yuan was kidnapped by the Shadow Pavilion for so long, Gu Huai didn't want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and kill the emperor's child, but he locked him in the Shadow Pavilion, serving him with good food and drink, no matter how he messed around, he wouldn't kill him with a dead hand." Gu Congyuan's voice was full of anger.
When the truth came out, it was really bloody and painful.
His cheeks tightened, and he gritted his teeth: "Because he can't kill his own flesh and blood, he even has a little conscience as a father." β
"Gu Congyuan ......" Lu Yao couldn't bear to call him.
Gu Congyuan took a few deep breaths in a row, as if it was difficult to bear this pain immediately for a while, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm fine." β
Over the years, the person Gu Huai owes the most is Gu Congyuan.
"I just figured it out of the blue." He lowered his eyes, his eyes were secretive, and there was a deep pain, "Once when I was beaten and bruised all over, and I didn't heal for months, I hated him so much that I wanted to kill him, but the people around me were persuading me, tiger poison does not eat children, the pavilion master is for my good, at that time I was really naΓ―ve to believe, a good tiger poison does not eat children......"
He gradually laughed, and said sadly: "What a tiger poison does not eat children, because I am not his child at all, he can hurt me so unscrupulously, treat me as his sword, and change the sky to the imperial city, stirring up the darkness on His Majesty's side." β
From beginning to end, Gu Congyuan was used as a gun.
But now, he is no longer willing to be at the mercy of Gu Huai, Gu Congyuan in the past is dead, and with all those humiliations and remorse, he left them yesterday.
"It's good if you can figure it out, I'm really afraid you can't accept it." Lu Yao shook his head and sighed, "But this is a good thing, at least you can be the king of Cong in a dignified manner, every grass and tree here also belongs to you, and you don't have to worry about it day and night." β
Gu Congyuan, as the emperor's biological son, was stolen to the Shadow Pavilion by the frenzied regent at the beginning, and Ah Yuan, who was the regent's own son, was left in the palace unclearly and became the second royal highness of King Cong.
Fate really plays tricks on people.
Unconsciously, the gap between the two brothers became bigger and bigger, just like Gu Huai and Gu Ji back then.
The regent wanted to take advantage of the young Gu Congyuan to seize the throne, and then take over the dragon robe from Yizi and re-ascend the throne, but he didn't know that this chess game was too big.
It's so big that it's hard for him to control himself......
Gu Congyuan bowed his head slightly, looking at her with gratitude in his eyes: "Yao'er, thank you, if it weren't for ......"
There was a "bang", and there was a strange sound in the backyard door.
Lu Yao and Gu Congyuan looked towards the closed gate together, this sound really killed them, and they chatted on a whim, and the two people who had always been vigilant had forgotten that the wall had ears!
"Who!" Gu Congyuan asked in a deep voice.
I saw that the old gate of the backyard was slowly pushed open, revealing Ah Yuan's tearful face, and on the ground was his scattered salute.
It seemed that he had just wanted to escape, when he heard the news that Lu Yao had brought back from behind the door.
This violent impact directly scared Ah Yuan into a lot, what else did he run? Where can they go?
Even if he went to the ends of the earth, his biological father was the rebellious regent, not the current Emperor, and he was not the real Second Highness of King Cong.
Ah Yuan thought that he was really the prince at first, so he confidently rolled around in King Cong's mansion, and after always fantasizing about rehabilitation, he moved back to this familiar and unfamiliar mansion again.
But Lu Yao's few words shattered all his fantasies......
What to pay back? He doesn't have a home anymore!
"It turns out that everything is fake." Ah Yuan slowly knelt on the ground, he buried his face in his hands, his shoulders shook and cried, "I don't ...... at all It's not King Cong, why ......"
"Why did God do this to me!" He cried silently.
Lu Yao and Gu Congyuan stepped forward, they glanced at each other, and they didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
Because the identities of Gu Congyuan and Ah Yuan are too embarrassing, and now that the truth is revealed, it is even more impossible to speak.
After all, everyone wants the position of King Cong, and everyone is a little ambitious.
"In the early years, my life in the palace was worse than death, I was always bullied by Gu Ziyan, after the age of sixteen, I was imprisoned in the dark Shadow Pavilion, every day except for eating is scolded, day after day, I have never seen the sun." Ah Yuan's whole body began to tremble, "I live like a joke, Gu Congyuan, you have Lu Yao to sacrifice your life for you, but I ...... But there is nothing! β
"Originally, I was a coward, and I had to rely on others to help me everywhere, and I was counting on the day when I could return to the palace again, even if I was an idle prince for the rest of my life......" he snorted deeply, "but I have nothing now." β
Gu Congyuan patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Don't be like this, otherwise you wouldn't have it." β
Lu Yao, who wanted to comfort but wanted to speak: "......"
