Chapter Seventy-Five: The Past Happened
This night, Su didn't sleep well.
It seems that someone whispers softly in the ear: "Dust, dust..."
Tossing and turning, Su opened his eyes in a daze, but there was no one on his side.
In a trance, it seemed that the person was dressed in a dark robe, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but his voice calling her was extremely gentle.
Dust, dust. That voice seemed to be enchanted, inexplicably heart-wrenching, and made people cry silently.
Sleepless night...
"Miss, didn't you rest last night?" Zhili looked at the obvious bruising under Su's eyes and asked worriedly.
Su sighed lightly, looked up and rubbed the corners of his swollen and aching forehead, remembering the dream-like scene last night, and frowned.
Dust... Who is it? I've never heard of it before, but how can I have such a strange dream?
"Zhili, you go to check if there is a Heavenly Book Pavilion in Huayuan City..."Before Su Yan's voice fell, the closed door was violently pushed open from the outside, and what caught his eye was Gu Qingge's indifferent face.
It seemed indifferent, but Gu Qingge's hurried pace still showed that she was anxious now, standing in front of Su, she didn't have time to explain, Gu Qingge said straight to the point:
"Cousin. Something happened to my aunt, your mother. ”
Su was suddenly startled, stood up, and asked eagerly, "What happened to my mother?" Is it dangerous? ”
Gu Qingge looked at Su's anxious face and patted Su's hand soothingly: "My aunt was held hostage, and she has no worries about her life for the time being." But it's a long story, and I need to tell you in detail so that you don't make a wrong judgment. ”
After retreating, Gu Qingge looked at Su in front of him fixedly, his eyes showed seriousness and firmness: "Cousin, you have remembered, what I want to say next, you have to drown it in your heart, and you must not leak a word!" ”
Su, who was originally worried about his mother Gu Qiao, saw Gu Qingge like this, and faintly had a premonition, and nodded solemnly.
Seeing that Su had made a guarantee, Gu Qingge's jade-like fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and after pondering for a long time, he slowly spoke: "My father... It was the former prince of King Gu of Huaguo. And, your mother is the daughter of the former King Gu of Huaguo, the lord of Guining. ”
What the?!
Rao was prepared in his heart, but this news still caught Su off guard. Her mother was the former lord of Guining in China? This... How is this possible?!
Seeing the disbelief in Su's eyes, Gu Qingge sighed: "You should know these things." ”
"Do you know that if nothing else, the current Hua Huang should be a woman. She called Qingchen, the former imperial daughter and the future emperor of China, but she eloped with a man from the Yuan Kingdom when the old Emperor Hua was dying. ”
"The old Huahuang is in the twilight, but the imperial princess is nowhere to be found, as a result, there was a rebellion of the seven kings in the history of Huaguo, and in the end, King Yu won, but due to physical reasons, his son, the son of King Yu, became the current Emperor of Hua."
Hearing about these royal secrets that ordinary people would never hear in their lifetime, Su Shiran moved his lips and asked, "What do these have to do with my mother?" What does it have to do with my mother being held hostage? ”
Gu Qingge smiled bitterly: "Cousin, this is not only a dispute over power, but also a battle for love. Do you know that the former prince of Yu, who is now the emperor of Hua, has always harbored ill intentions towards your mother? That's why, after the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, my grandfather King Gu died, and my father fled with your mother..."
Gu Qingge raised his head, his eyes were long, and he didn't know where he was looking: "Later, my father lived in peace, and my mother gave birth to my brother and me, but one day, the current Emperor Hua sent people to hunt down my aunt, so my father died, and my aunt... Nowhere to be found... It wasn't until after the Qingyun feast a few years ago that I was able to meet my aunt. ”
Hearing Gu Qingge's words, Su only felt a chill down his spine. His mother and the son of King Yu are blood cousins! The so-called royal family, under the glamorous appearance, how dirty it is!
Who is the person holding the mother hostage, that answer is about to come out. Thinking of this, Su's face turned pale, and she bit her pale lower lip, and Su asked cautiously, "My mother, but she was ... Is the emperor hijacked today? ”
Looking at Su's pale face, Gu Qingge didn't know what to say, so he could only respond in a low voice: "Yes." ”
"My mother has not been discovered by the current Emperor Hua for so many years, how can she be found now?" Su still didn't want to believe it, she looked straight at Gu Qingge, hoping that she would give her a negative answer.
"Because, Huayuan City, is the place where your mother and the current Emperor Hua first met... Not long ago, Emperor Hua came to Huayuan City, and it just so happened that he met his aunt. "There is no need to break it, in a few words, the whole reason has been explained.
Gu Qingge's words were tantamount to a thunderbolt, roaring in Su's ears. No wonder... No wonder on the carriage, my mother would say that Huayuan City was already a thing... And the reason why my mother came to Huayuan City many years later was... Because of yourself!
Having come to this conclusion, Su whimpered in pain, and her slender nails clasped her palms tightly.
Gu Qingge was also silent, looking at Su quietly.
Deathly silence.
I don't know how long it took, Su let go of his scarred palm, took a deep breath, and looked at Gu Qingge calmly: "Is there a Heavenly Book Pavilion in Huayuan City?" I need to look up something. ”
Looking at Su, who had calmed down, Gu Qingge's eyes flashed with appreciation. Her cousin seems to be childish on weekdays, but she is extremely calm when it comes to big things, and she is a person who can get things done.
"There is the Heavenly Book Pavilion. I'll take you. ”
The horse-drawn carriage drove quickly through the noisy streets, through several alleys, and the road became more and more quiet.
Clutching tightly the piece of cyan jade that Yi Lao had taken out of the lapis lazuli in his palm, which resembled a phoenix seal, Su was uneasy in his heart.
"Two young ladies, Tianshu Pavilion has arrived."
Getting off the carriage and glancing at the Tianshu Pavilion in front of him, Su smiled dumbly. No matter where the store is opened, Tianshuge looks like it is shabby and poor.
The Tianshu Pavilion in Huayuan City is exactly the same as the Tianshu Pavilion in the capital of Xiguo, Su Shumen walked in familiarly, and said directly to the shopkeeper inside: "I want to see you in charge." ”
The little second was taken aback by Su's tough momentum, and before he could react, he heard a hearty voice from the second floor of the library: "Su girl, you are finally here." Old man, I've been waiting for a long time. ”
Hearing this voice, Su was slightly happy in his heart.
Yi Lao!
He actually came to Huayuan City too?
"What are you still doing? You come up alone. ”
Hearing Yi Lao's words, Su looked at Gu Qingge apologetically. Gu Qingge smiled knowingly: "Cousin, then I'll leave first." ”
Nodding and seeing Gu Qingge leave, Su immediately turned around and stepped on the long wooden ladder.
