Gu Changming slowly lowered his hand, looked at his father squarely and said, "I heard from someone that my father entered the study early in the morning and missed the meal. My father's body has to be taken care of cautiously recently, so don't forget the advice of Doctor Wen. โ
Gu Wuduo smiled slightly: "It turns out that I don't worry about this, I can't just wait for you to tell me about the things I lost in the middle." I also know that you are not often at home, but you are away from home for seven or eight months a year, how do you recount the details of what happened? โ
"My father had a habit of keeping important records in his book, so he checked them in his study." Gu Changming saw Gu Wuduo's gaze and looked at the little phoenix behind him, "Father, it's not too late to wait until you've eaten." โ
"You have a lot of friends around you these days." Gu Wuduo was still looking at the little phoenix, there was a slight doubt in his eyes, but he pressed it appropriately, "You have made a lot of friends before, but it is the first time that you have brought it to live at home for a long time." โ
"At that time, my father was not there, and they were not familiar with each other, so they stayed at home to show the friendship of landlords." Gu Changming simply made his words clear again, "Father, she is not Hu Min'er, let alone her relatives, but she just happens to look similar." โ
Gu Wuduo was obviously shocked again, he needed to think about it before he was sure that Hu Min'er was Concubine Min's maiden name. I don't know why Gu Changming shouted out so unabashedly, and the name became like a stranger again: "So you know this?" โ
"I know, the old Imperial Doctor Wen told me, and then my father told me again. Siren has passed away, she left the palace and got free, these should be what she wants. Gu Changming once carefully rearranged the story of Concubine Min, and found that after Concubine Min left the palace, she was not depressed in Qikun Sect because she left the emperor, let alone greedy for the wealth and glory of things outside her body.
She just hated being used by Qu Jingshan and was forced to separate from her daughter's flesh and blood, and when she fled, she was frightened three times and twice, and fell ill, so she died in a foreign land. The little phoenix saw her last face when she died, probably because she was seriously ill at that time, thinking that the phoenix was wishful, and her daughter returned to her side with no regrets.
Gu Wuduo was silent again, and only after a moment did he simply say, "Since Lao Wen has said it in such detail, you must also be sensible and reasonable. Your friends don't say no, but she tries not to show up in front of me. โ
"Father, who can't let go of this matter?" Gu Changming could barely control the words that came to his mouth, knowing that his father would be repulsed, he still had to say it strongly. He decided that the little phoenix wanted to stay with her for the rest of his life, and he couldn't be perfunctory, and in the end he only wronged her alone.
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Wuduo raised his voice suddenly, judging Fang Cai's composure.
Although the little phoenix didn't stand close, he was still shocked by his scolding. If she had borrowed her courage, she would probably have the courage to run between the two of them to stop Gu Changming and prevent him from talking. Her eyes saw Gu Changming's one hand behind her back, and made a gesture to her.
She could see what the gesture meant, but she didn't know why she said it at this time.
"Father, Concubine Min's departure from the palace is not her father's fault, and Concubine Min's early death is not her father's grievance. Father should know why he was sent to the prison by the emperor, the scar that the emperor is unwilling to mention again, why does the father have to ignore it again and again, let himself hurt, let others also hurt! Gu Changming's tone was only aggressive, "When your mother was alive, did you ever tell your mother about this?" โ
Gu Wuduo was obviously a little stunned when he heard him mention his wife, because it had been six or seven years less, as if the scene of his wife's death was still vivid, she held his hand, obviously there were too many things to say, and finally the corners of her mouth smiled, put her cheek on the back of his hand, and gently grinded, without saying a word.
Eventually, the back of his hand was hot, and tears flowed down her eyes, scalding him and sending her away.
"No, Changming, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that to Hu Min'er." Gu Wuduo suddenly became a little at a loss, especially when he saw the little phoenix looking like he wanted to get close but was cautious and didn't dare to move forward. There are outsiders here, not when these private matters are discussed.
"Father, when she died, she was just Hu Min'er, and she was relieved." In Gu Changming's heart, the little phoenix is his own person, and this matter has been related to her since that year. If it weren't for the accidental encounter, Qu Jingshan would not have seen her, let alone taken her away from her home in Luoyang because of her appearance.
So, no one is more suitable as a listener to this matter than Little Phoenix.
"She's relieved?" Gu Wuduo has always been decisive and popular, and this state of constantly repeating the words of the people around him rarely happens. It can be seen that today's topic makes him a little overwhelmed.
"Yes, she was relieved. Father may not remember, the emperor admitted that he knew that Concubine Min was framed at that time, but he still planned and buried this important chess piece of Qi Kunmen in the future. Even if she was once the emperor's favorite concubine, she still could give it up. The father was angry and argued with the emperor in the imperial study, tearing up the old scars, which made the emperor angry, and his father was escorted to the prison on the spot. Gu Changming saw his father's expression change layer by layer, and finally calmed down, "Although my father can't remember, I understand what I said." โ
Where does Gu Wuduo still have a reason that he doesn't understand: "What I hate is that the emperor uses the lives of others as chess pieces?" โ
"That's pretty much it." Gu Changming accepted it when he saw it, did he have to force his father to admit that he had a good impression of Concubine Min, and he almost made a mistake again and again. The father didn't want to face it, so he invited his deceased mother out to calm down.
"As a courtier, the monarch will be disappointed." Gu Wuduo quickly analyzed the reasons for his resignation that he couldn't remember, "So I left the Criminal Division, and would rather care for the elderly at home and wait for my son to die?" โ
"My father is in his prime, and he has to mention the word "end" wherever he is." Gu Changming took half a step back, very respectful, "Father, please go to dinner first, today I made an appointment with Imperial Doctor Wen, I'm afraid he's about to arrive." โ
Gu Wuduo still has some scruples about Imperial Physician Wen, no matter how good his martial arts are, he still can't let go of the more than 100 golden needles that Imperial Physician Wen takes out at any time: "How many times does he have to come in ten days, haven't I already been fine?" โ
"Doctor Wen said that every three days, he will administer needles to his father. If it happens again, it may go back to a longer time, and even the people around him in the past 20 years no longer remember, and my father must not be far away from seeing such a scene. Gu Changming was so comforting, Gu Wuduo didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and hurried away.
The little phoenix waited for Gu Wuduo to walk away before he dared to approach him: "Brother Gu, I really sweated for you just now." โ
"Did you hear what we were saying?" Gu Changming saw that her face was pale, he held her chin with one hand, and looked down at her eyes, "I'm fine, don't worry." โ
"I see that your father was almost having a seizure just now, but luckily you said it properly." The little phoenix was watched by him, his nose and nose, and his nose and heart, and he didn't dare to move.
"I've been thinking about these things for a long, long time. The last time I had to explain it clearly, it was already a fluke, he forgot the origin, and we have to do it all over again? No, I told him the final result directly and let him analyze it himself. He's a black and white guy who will convince himself. Gu Changming let go of his hand and touched her sideburns again, "Besides, don't look at him as a vigorous and resolute living Hades outside, but he is a loving father at home." โ
"But when we come back, we'll just see if he's not home. Since he is here, then his suspicion can be dispelled. The little phoenix knew him too well, and when he saw that his eyebrows were raised, it was clear that he had said something wrong, "What, do you have any other temptations?" โ
"He is at home at the moment, it doesn't mean that he was also at home when the emperor had an accident. What's more, he can't follow you and me, find out where Su Xu is hiding, and then find an opportunity to attack. Gu Changming talked about things and analyzed them directly to her.
"Brother Gu, everyone else is looking forward to the case having nothing to do with their relatives, why do you want to pull it on your father. I think he is so upright and clear, he won't harm the emperor at all, right! The little phoenix listened to one head and two big, "You can't be upset because of the fruit's words." โ
"The words of the fruit are very true, and the words of the fruit have no effect on me." Gu Changming turned to hold her wrist and led her to the door of her father's study, "I have the same thoughts as you at this moment. โ
The little phoenix opened her mouth: "Do you want to go into the study and have a look?" โ
"You too, you always feel that all the answers are in it, and you can be relieved when you go in. And you also think that since you can see it at the time, it is not too difficult, and besides, I am by my side. Gu Changming's hand pointed to the roof of the study, "That was your last place to stay, it was so close that you almost wanted to move." โ
When the little phoenix heard the four words that were about to move, his face couldn't hold back, so he turned around and ran: "Your father is a smart man, he has been peeped at, where will there be that flaw, waiting for someone to come again." Don't hook me, I didn't think so. โ
Gu Changming dragged her back with his backhand: "Phoenix, even at this moment, if we push the door straight in, it's useless." โ
"Why?" The little phoenix asked puzzled.
"Because he doesn't want us to see it." After Gu Changming said this, he dragged her out, and no one dared to come forward to ask anyone who was blocking the way when she went out this way. The two walked until they reached the gate of the courtyard, and saw a carriage stop in front of them.
Imperial Doctor Wen was helped out of the car by two medicine boys, and the little phoenix called the master and stepped forward to help him.
"I'm not old enough to need three men to help me get out of the carriage." Imperial Physician Wen was obviously in a good mood when he saw them, "You all live at home?" He didn't ask anything else? โ
"I asked, and I answered them all." Gu Chang said succinctly.
Old Imperial Physician Wen was probably shocked by his straightforwardness, and then stroked his beard and smiled: "The girl wasn't scared, right?" โ
"She's so bold that she can't be scared." Gu Changming turned his head and looked at the little phoenix with a smile.
"Let the master laugh, but this process has come again and again, and it is a little awkward." Little Phoenix was telling the truth, where did Old Imperial Doctor Wen have a reason that he couldn't hear, and there was no extra consolation, so he just patted Gu Changming's shoulder twice when he passed by.
Gu Changming went down the steps, and then turned his head and asked, "Old Imperial Doctor Wen, has the emperor ever woken up?" โ
