Chapter 106: Choice
In the end, this tea was drunk unhappily.
Shen Yang drank unpleasantly, An Ting didn't know, but she must have drunk extremely unpleasantly. After cleaning up the troublemakers, An Ting realized that he had accidentally left Gu Mingxiu alone in the Yashe, and rushed back with a roar. When he opened the door, he saw that Shen Yang was holding Gu Mingxiu's hand, and An Ting almost threw the whip out.
Although he was stopped by An Yan, he didn't have a good face in the end.
As for Shen Yang..... Anting is in no mood to care.
"Don't pay attention to that prince in the future! He looks like a human, but he is a complete disciple! Is....... He should have been beaten up! An Ting took Gu Mingxiu's hand, and refused to stop when he arrived in the house.
An Ling nodded in agreement, and said indignantly: "That's it!" Why didn't you move the whip just now! Isn't there a grandfather and them when something happens, besides, he is molesting his cousin, and he should be beaten! ”
"Be quiet." An Yan frowned, and whispered to stop the two, "Don't you want the whole house to know about this?" Anting Anling was reprimanded, and he was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, and his face was also displeased. An Yan sighed, and said, "Shen Yang is the crown prince after all, and he may not be the future son of heaven. We settle down to serve the Son of Heaven, but we must not be said by others to bully the prince by relying on the Son of Heaven. ”
"But—"
An Ting wanted to say more, but An Yan had already turned his head: "Why did you go down at that time and leave Xiu'er on it alone?" ”
"It has nothing to do with them, I asked Yiyi to follow." Gu Mingxiu said softly, "Shen Yang wants to be with me, so naturally he wants to make some moths." If you let him be satisfied for a moment, you will know what his idea is. ”
"What does that mean?" An Ting's eyes widened when he heard this.
An Yan pondered slightly and understood: "The person who made trouble was arranged by the prince?" ”
"What?!"
An Tingden stopped and looked at An Yan in astonishment. As the other party's gaze looked at Gu Mingxiu, seeing that the little girl's face was pale and the corners of her lips were a little cold, she understood in her heart, and for a while she only felt angry and rushed up: "Phew! Then he is really shameless! How can you be so calculating?! I still dare, I dare to do something to Xiu'er...."
An Ting stomped his feet, shook off Gu Mingxiu's hand and turned around and ran: "I must tell my grandfather!" Shen Yang is not a good person! He must not be allowed to deceive his grandfather! ”
Anting ran too fast, and Gu Mingxiu couldn't pull it.
An Ling glanced at Gu Mingxiu and whispered: "Cousin, I also think Tingting is right, that Shen Yang is not a good person, but grandfather they don't know, in the end, they should also talk about today's events." You shouldn't be bullied by others at will, and neither can the prince. ”
Watching the two of them rush to General An's study one after the other, An Yan said lightly: "I can't say anything about this matter, I know that you always have an idea, and you don't need someone from your family to help you, but sometimes I don't feel like you are a member of our family." ”
He smiled slightly: "If grandfather asks you for questions, you should think about it." ”
"Cousin, it's a choice for you."
An Yan didn't say much, but it was enough for Gu Mingxiu to understand. What he said was still a year ago, talking about her secrets about Yangzhou that Gu Mingxiu had never mentioned in all these years. Although she did intend to help An Jia, she didn't think about solving it with An Jia. An Yan knows that she has a secret, let alone General An.
It's just that General An trusts her enough and never mentions it.
The choice is in Gu Mingxiu's hands, whether to work together with the An family, or choose another path.
Early in the morning, Qiao Wu smelled the wind and came over to inquire about the gossip.
Gu Mingxiu happened to see off the Xu family and was reading the letter in the courtyard.
The wind blew the thin letter paper in her hand, and the girl gently smoothed the folds at the corners of her clothes, and looked down at the letter. Agarwood placed another letter on the table, and then found a fruit bowl to hold it down, and then quietly retreated. Mo Zhu took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone inside, and carefully arranged it before retreating, Qiao Wule said hello to Mo Zhu, and sat down opposite her casually: "You were molested by the prince yesterday?" ”
Shen Qingqing's letter had just been delivered, mentioning a few words about the recent situation in Yangzhou and the attitude of the Shen Mansion, and there was no mention of Shen Xian in the whole article, but it made Gu Mingxiu see some eyebrows. She chuckled softly, then folded the letter and picked up another: "Where did you find out?" ”
"The little girl came to me early in the morning, told me about last night, and asked me worriedly if you stimulated Shen Yang, would you accidentally stimulate his memory back." Qiao Wu touched an orange, watched Gu Mingxiu tear open the envelope, and pouted his lips rather boringly, "How can I be so unskilled, how can my memory be so easy to recover." ”
Gu Mingxiu laughed: "You asked well, I also want to know, since Yiyi and I can remember the past, then others will definitely not." ”
Almost choked on an orange, Qiao glanced at Gu Mingxiu, who didn't pay attention to him, and breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the moody His Royal Highness King Xiao in his heart, Qiao Wu paused: "There should be no one else except you." ”
The second letter was written by Gu Qingyue, mentioning with her the major events in Yangzhou, the situation in the court, and the recent situation in the Gu Mansion. In the letter, she told Gu Mingxiu that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness had no intention of taking the throne, and it was the weakest vein in the battle for succession, but there was King Xiao behind His Highness, and it was difficult to figure out what His Highness wanted. Now it is the crown prince who has the most powerful private fight with the Fifth Highness, and she has already intersected with the Fifth Highness a few times, so she can use it for the time being.
She also told Gu Mingxiu that Gu Changge is now back to her original scenery in Yangzhou, and no one in the whole Yangzhou knows her. Gu Xiaodie also became more and more intelligent under Gu Changge's training, and the more important she was to the old lady Gu. Although Gu Changge didn't care about her, he was still secretly guarding against her.
Gu Mingxiu finished reading the letter, and then began to reply: "Agarwood, you send the letter out, the sooner the better." ”
"Your sister is not a small role." Qiao Wu glanced at the content of the letter on the side, shook his head and said, "Your third sister looks extremely cowardly, but her mind is heavier than your second sister. Gu Changge hooked up with Shen Yang by relying on Gu Qingyuan's line, but she relied on herself to get in touch with the Fifth Highness. ”
"The third sister has never been a simple character." Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly, "I'm going to see my grandfather in a while, so you just wait here for Yiyi, so that she won't be in a hurry." ”
Qiao Wu's movements slowed down when he ate the orange, glanced at her thoughtfully, and smiled slightly: "It's decided?" ”
Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly.
When she went to the study, General An was alone in the study, and when he saw her, he showed a slightly surprised look: "Xiu'er." ”
"Grandfather." Gu Mingxiu saluted and said softly, "I'm here for yesterday's events." ”
She looked directly at General An's calm expression, and paused before she said slowly: "Shen Yang's coming to Jingzhou is not just accidental, he intends to be in the General's Mansion and me. Narrowing his eyes slightly, Gu Mingxiu said, "Shen Yang knew a long time ago that my grandfather was behind me, and he had already reached an agreement with Gu Qingyuan, intending to marry me to Shen Yang instead of Gu Changge. ”
"Shen Yang has always intended to compete for the throne, and he is extremely frank on the surface, gentle and tolerant. It's just that they have done a lot of insidious things behind their backs, Gu Xuan and Gu Qingyuan have always been Shen Yang's people. There are also many eyeliners around him, so Shen Yang never does it himself. ”
"If the forces of the Gu Mansion stand behind Shen Yang on the surface, then the person who is the hub will inevitably become the target of public criticism. Gu Qingyuan didn't want Gu Changge to take the risk, so he wanted me to replace him. It's just that.... Gu Changge was repeatedly frustrated, coupled with the fate of Gu Xuan and Dong Qing, Gu Qingyuan couldn't tolerate me, so he wanted to get rid of me first. ”
"The people sent by my grandfather must have secretly dealt with those killers many times."
"In addition to Gu Qingyuan's people, there should be a team of people. Although the team was in the name of Shen Yang, they were not directly affected by him. Gu Mingxiu paused, "My grandfather knows that I used to recognize a girl called Ning Fei, and he also knows that the night I returned late was calculated by Ning Fei, and she wanted to get rid of me." ”
"I have a lot of things to hide from my grandfather and mother.... I can't tell them all now. Maybe there will be more things that should not be done in the future, but I can promise that I will not do anything to harm the General's Mansion. This is the only thing I can vouch for with my life. ”
General An stood quietly behind the desk, his eyes slightly dark. Gu Mingxiu stood calmly, his eyes were slightly pale.
After a while, General An said slowly, "Have you already known Shen Yang's thoughts?" ”
"Yes."
"You already know Gu Qingyuan's thoughts?"
"Yes."
"When did you find out?"
"I knew it from the beginning, and I determined it after meeting Gu Xuan."
"Shen Yang wants to beat your idea, you also know it clearly?"
"Yes."
"Do you have a conspirator in Yangzhou?"
“...... Be. ”
"Do you also have an internal response in the Gu Mansion?"
"Yes."
"Do you know, then, that there is an inner response in your own people?"
"I know, and I'll do it."
General An smiled slightly, and stared at Gu Mingxiu kindly: "I thought that you would be a little disappointed in the Gu Mansion, so you didn't want to trust others..... I'm glad you can say that. He got up and walked to Gu Mingxiu's side, raised his hand and gently placed it on Gu Mingxiu's head.
The iron-blooded man said softly: "Xiu'er, you remember, the only person we have to serve is the Son of Heaven, and no one else is nothing." His Majesty is already dissatisfied with the crown prince, and it is not a big deal to push the prince down from the East Palace, and the candidates for the monarch in His Majesty's heart have never been the crown prince. ”
Gu Mingxiu raised her eyes slightly in surprise, as if she didn't expect General An to say such "big nonsense" words in his mouth, and he was a little stunned for a while.
Seeing this, General An laughed: "Xiu'er, grandfather means.... Whatever you want to do, let it go. The General's Mansion will be behind you, and as long as it is not such a major matter as rebellion, we are not afraid of anything. ”
He touched Gu Mingxiu's head: "You must know that the General's Mansion will be your backing." ”
Gu Mingxiu blinked, and there was a little warmth in his heart.
She smiled slightly: "Xiu'er thanked her grandfather." ”
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
