Actually, it all started at that time.

After King Qin was arrested, Princess Hanji was sent to the Tianzheng Courtyard to raise a fetus, but in fact, Xiao Tan did not allow the child in her belly to be born, and ordered someone to secretly poison the child and want to kill the child.

But because Gu Tingzhi, that is, my maternal grandfather protected it, the child was finally born, but Han Ji knew Xiao Yan's temperament very well, and she might let her go in the love of siblings, but she would definitely not let go of her and Wei Ying's child, stay in the world, and become an obstacle and a thorn in his side.

So, she and her grandfather came up with a very risky idea.

At that time, Xiao Tan's queen also gave birth to a child, Han Ji took the opportunity to kill the queen, and swapped her own child with the queen's child, when the guards arrived, only saw the queen's body, and Han Ji pressed the infant child, trying to strangle him to death, but I didn't know that all this was just an illusion deliberately created by Han Ji and my grandfather.

The guards saved the child, thinking that it was because of the relationship between the King of Qin, so that Han Ji held a grudge, did not hesitate to kill the queen, and also attacked an innocent child, naturally they would not suspect that the child that Han Ji wanted to 'kill' at that time was actually her own son.

In this way, the child of King Wei Ying of Qin was carried by them in front of Xiao Tan, but the child of the real queen was secretly executed by Xiao Tan and sealed in the ashes of the incense ding furnace in the Tianzheng Courtyard.

I think, Xiao Tan never thought that until he died, all along, he valued favor the most, and was named the prince of King Jing, my father, in fact, was surnamed Wei, the son of his mortal enemy, and he secretly tortured and killed, and it was his own child who was sealed in the Tianzheng Courtyard.

In order to thank my grandfather for his help all the time, Han Ji agreed with my grandfather that when the child grew up, he would let my grandfather go to him, tell him about the past, and let the child avenge the king of Qin, and in return, her child would marry the daughter of the Gu family as the queen in the future.

But my grandfather, he is a smart and cunning person, although I don't know why he wanted to help Princess Hanji in the first place, whether it was because of his friendship with King Qin, or something else, but obviously, he is also thinking about the future of the Gu family, Xiao Tan dotes on the Lin clan, and he has always not used the Gu family enough, he wants to use that child to make a gamble, betting that he can make the Gu family grow and surpass the Lin family.

But at the same time, he was very scared, because he didn't know what the child's temperament was, in case he was suspicious and suspicious, he refused to admit the agreement between Princess Hanji and the Gu family at all, and was afraid of the secret between them, so he killed him, then all his hard work would be in vain, so he thought of a way to make the life experience of that little highness a secret that many people in the Gu family knew.

He thought that by holding my father's handle in his hands, he would be able to make the Gu family and my father closely together, but he didn't expect that before the matter was completed, the Gu family would have a conflict with the Lin family.

Uncle and grandfather died at the hands of the Lin family, and the Gu family was driven out of the long camp by the Lin family, with nowhere to go, and was chased and killed by the Lin family's warlocks.

At that time, his mother, who had just taken over as the head of the Gu family, had no choice but to marry his father and lead the Gu family back to Shengjing.

They want to use my father's status and status to let the Gu family get out of the encirclement and suppression of the Lin family, gain a firm foothold in Shengjing, and develop and grow, and the secret between the Gu family and my father has become a transaction and a chain, tightly binding them to each other.

It is precisely because of this that the two forces are entangled, closely combined, but contradictory to each other.

In my memory, I often saw conflicts between my father's people and the people of the Gu family, all kinds of trivial things, but because neither my father nor my mother expressed their position, it was also regarded as a trivial matter and ignored the past.

But I think these seemingly unimportant little things reflect the rift between the two families.

In this way, seemingly unimportant contradictions accumulate more and more, and they become more and more distrustful of each other, and in the end, they explode in full force, and everything is irreparable.

At that time, my grandfather told the Gu family about his father's life experience, which became a tacit secret for everyone, and he wanted to threaten his father with this, they thought that with this chain, his father would be obedient and obedient to them, but they forgot that when a chain is tightened and has been strangled by a person's throat, the most direct way to survive is to cut off the chain.

At that time, his father suffered heavy losses in the north, although he was lucky to save his life, but he did not dare to return to Shengjing, and he could not come back, he was afraid that the Gu family would betray him, once his identity as the son of the King of Qin was known, it was not just suspected of rebellion, plus with his strength at that time, he could not compete with King Rui at all, instead of sitting back and watching King Rui seek to seize the position of prince, he chose to retreat.

Wounded a thousand enemies, eight hundred self-inflicted, in the list of people he chose to sacrifice, except for me, but included his mother.

I don't know what kind of feelings he had for my mother, when he killed my mother and forcibly dispersed her soul, did he ever have a trace of unbearability and regret?

Between them, they were originally united for the sake of interests, and they fell apart because of disagreements, so what about me? What am I, caught between them?

After hearing these words, the senior brother lowered his head and smiled slightly bitterly: "I see." ”

His expression was gloomy, but he was still sad: "He is right, it was my father who hurt you, if it wasn't for my father who betrayed you, maybe ...... Nothing will happen......"

I was afraid that he would drill the horns of the bull himself, so I hurriedly said: "Senior brother......"

I wanted to comfort him, but he brushed my hand away and said, "But I ...... scarlet."

I saw tears in his eyes, choked for a moment, and then continued: "However, that person is my father, no matter what he does, he is my father, although, although I know that he is wrong, although I know that my father and I are ashamed of you, and I know in my heart that this is the case, but I still can't forgive......"

Since he was a child, Senior Brother has always been very strong and optimistic, except for the last time Master, it was the first time I saw him like this.

Seeing him cry, I was also very sad and wanted to say something to him, but I opened my mouth as if there was nothing to say to him.

As he said, he knew in his heart that this was the case, but he still couldn't forgive.

If it's just an ordinary misunderstanding, it'll be fine if it's solved, but we all understand the truth, and there is no misunderstanding at all.

But in the end, my father, who killed his father, and I, who killed his master, no matter how many valid reasons there were, could not change the fact that they were killed.

I was silent for a long time, and finally I could only say, "I'm sorry......"

Senior Brother lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "What are you sorry for me?" I'm sorry for you......"

His tears fell, endured and endured, and finally said: "You all say that I am a gentleman, if you are a gentleman, you should distinguish between right and wrong, and you should be selfless, but being a gentleman is too hard, and I also want to complain and hate, it is true that I am not a gentleman......"

I was worried about him and stepped forward: "Senior brother......"

He deliberately distanced himself from me, looked at me, his eyes flashed again, avoided it, and said, "I'm in a very chaotic mood now, and I really want to be alone and quiet, you ...... Don't follow me anymore. ”

Having said that, I am still worried about my senior brother, he came all the way from Shengjing, just because he was worried about my safety, but now that he has learned such a thing, how can I rest assured that he will be alone?

Secretly followed behind my senior brother, watching him embarrassment all the way, like a walking corpse, returning to Shengjing in a trance, and getting sick on the way, I didn't dare to show up, so I could only take care of him silently in the dark.

When I returned to Shengjing, the news of my father's rebellion in Qin came out immediately, and everyone in the world was in an uproar about my father's identity change, but I didn't know that in addition to my father, there was also me.

But Xiao Zhuo knows.

Soon after I returned to Shengjing, he summoned me to the palace, and I originally thought that he might kill me, or that he might hold me hostage to threaten my father, but then I thought about it, anyway, I didn't have a few days to live, and even if he wanted to kill me, it would be nothing, if he said that he would threaten my father by holding me hostage...... With my understanding of Xiao Zhuo and the friendship between us, he should not do such a thing.

So, I went to see him.

At that time, Xiao Zhuo was still sitting in the gazebo making tea, I had no sense of taste, but I smelled the taste, it should be the kind before.

He looked up at me and smiled, "You're here." ”

Everything is as before, but between us, can we go back to the past?

I was apprehensive and vaguely answered, and he asked me to sit down, and I hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down in front of him.

But I heard him pour tea and say: "Some time ago, Yu'er suddenly said that he wanted to look for you, so I took him to the Hongwen Pavilion for a walk. ”

I was stunned, I didn't understand what he meant by this when he said this to me at this time, so I could only listen silently.

Sure enough, he paused, and said with a smile: "You see, children don't distinguish between right and wrong, and don't care what interests are gained or lost, they only know who is good to him and who he has a deep relationship with." ”

I was embarrassed, lowered my head, and arched my hand to him: "Regarding my father's matter, Weichen is ashamed of His Highness, and I also ask His Highness to condemn him." ”

But he said, "I will not cure you." ”

I looked up, and he met my eyes and said, "Because you're back." ”

Seeing my stunned expression, he smiled and continued: "Originally, when the news of your father's rebellion reached Shengjing, I was very chaotic, I didn't know what to do with you, and I was afraid that you would choose him to be my enemy, but after returning from the Hongwen Pavilion that day, I seemed to understand something, no matter what happened, no matter what choice you made, you had treated me sincerely, and I had treated you sincerely, and that was enough." ”

"Although as a king, it is the right thing to weigh the pros and cons, the most important thing I should do now may be to arrest you and exchange conditions with your father, but ......"

He paused, and then his words turned sharply: "I prefer to believe in the affection between people than these. ”

I froze for a moment and muttered, "Your Highness...... Doesn't the king want to know the choice of Weichen? ”

He smiled and said, "Haven't you already made a choice now?" ”

After a moment of silence, he leaned over to hold my hand, hesitated, and said: "I still say the same thing, in the future, no matter what happens, whether it is success or failure, please remember the sincere affection I have treated you, protect my son, and let him be safe." ”
