Chapter 045: Brother and Sister Love
Yun Yao finished bandaging her wounds, changed into the clothes sent by Meng Yijie, cleaned herself up, and then walked out of the door.
Gu Qingming was waiting outside, and when he saw Yun Yao come out, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. But then I saw her somewhat pale face, and a sense of distress arose.
He gently stroked Yun Yao's face and sighed in a low voice: "Don't do such things in the future, in my heart, your safety is more important than anything else." ”
"Good. Yun Yao nodded.
She knew his concern and worries, and she took it all, and promised him kindly, so that he could feel at ease.
"Just now, Meng Yijie sent someone over to pass through, saying that after you finish cleaning up, let us go to the side hall, there is a big gift waiting for us. Gu Qingming said, naturally taking Yun Yao's hand and walking towards the side hall of the palace side by side.
Yun Yao felt the warmth coming from the palm of Gu Qingming's hand, but in this autumn season, it was like a warm spring breeze blowing into her heart.
In the side hall, Meng Yijie and Lu Yingquan were impressively present, and Sisi and Achen were also there, but both of them naturally stood behind Lu Yingquan. Even if Meng Yijie is very special to Sisi, but in Sisi's heart, her sense of belonging is still the palace of Yiguo, the maidservant girl next to Lu Yingquan.
"How is Miss Yun's injury, if necessary, I can ask His Royal Highness King Jing to send the imperial doctor from the palace to come over and see the girl. When Meng Yijie saw Yun Yao coming, he asked.
The king laughed side by side, even if there were ten imperial doctors in the palace, it would be less than one ten-thousandth of Yun Yao. Lu Yingquan chuckled and looked at Yun Yao proudly, as if it was her greatest luck to have such a good sister.
"I forgot, Miss Yun is very clever at using poison, and she has never been separated from each other, so Miss Yun should also be a skilled doctor. Meng Yijie sighed and said, "Gu Gongzi, Miss Yun, please-"
The two sat down at the table, Meng Yijie poured them tea with his own hands, and watched the tea mist wader out of the cup, Meng Yijie slowly spoke, telling all the causes and consequences of the whole thing.
And Yun Yao didn't know until now that Sisi was Meng Yijie's own sister.
Meng Yijie and Sisi's hometown was originally on the northern border of the Jade Kingdom, and the family of four was originally happy, but who would have thought that the invasion of Beidi in the past broke the original quiet and happiness.
Beidi's war horses were very fierce, and under the sudden iron hooves suppression, the Daning Dynasty lost several cities one after another, and Meng Yijie's home was also among these cities.
His parents died in the war, leaving Meng Yijie and his three-year-old sister, who decided to go south to join their relatives in order to escape the scourge of war.
At that time, the only thing Meng Yijie remembered was that when his sister left, he had a red rope tied to his wrist, which was woven by their mother for his sister herself, and a bead was strung on it, and the bead was engraved with her sister's name - "Ting".
And the same red rope, Meng Yijie also has one, but the words on the beads are different.
Later, Meng Yijie wanted to find his sister's whereabouts for a long time, but the sea of people was vast, and the territory of the Daning Dynasty was vast, and no one knew where his sister was sent.
In despair, Meng Yijie was discouraged, but at this time, he met his master.
The master was very good to Meng Yijie, so that Meng Yijie, who had left his hometown since he was a child, tasted warmth, and under the teaching of the master, Meng Yijie learned martial arts and gradually became a master on the rivers and lakes.
In the process of walking the rivers and lakes, Meng Yijie would inquire about his sister's whereabouts everywhere he went, and ask others if they had seen the same red rope. But such a needle in a haystack cannot be found overnight.
Later, Meng Yijie's master was sought revenge and died at the hands of the enemy, and he became alone again, wandering the world everywhere.
By chance, Meng Yijie saved Shen Xun, who came to Jingguo to succeed as the vassal king, and won Shen Xun's trust. After knowing Shen Xun's identity, Meng Yijie decided to stay in Jingguo.
Because he felt that his strength alone was too small, and King Jing still had soldiers and horses in his hands, and there were many people with great strength, maybe he could use the power of the royal family to help him find his sister faster.
In this way, Meng Yijie settled down in Jingguo, and with it, the whereabouts of his sister Meng Yiting.
When Su Dieyi came to the door with the red rope belonging to his sister, Meng Yijie was ecstatic, after looking for so many years, he finally had a little news about his sister.
But he was wrong, Su Dieyi didn't come specifically to tell his sister's whereabouts at all, but threatened him with his sister's safety.
"The owner of this red rope is in my hands, and if you want her to be safe, do as I say. ”
This is what Su Dieyi said to Meng Yijie, and because of this, Meng Yijie became Su Dieyi's spy, inquired about the news from King Jing, and then told Su Dieyi that she only hoped that she would not hurt her sister.
Every once in a while, Su Dieyi would receive a letter from afar, which would mention Meng Yiting's daily life and state, and Su Dieyi would show the letter to Meng Yijie every time, making him believe that Meng Yiting did exist.
In this way, several years passed, until this martial arts event.
Meng Yijie held a martial arts competition, originally wanted to use the power of the rivers and lakes to rescue his sister from Su Dieyi's hands, so as not to be at the mercy of Su Dieyi again, but no matter how many people he used, he could never find any news about his sister.
At first, Meng Yijie would sigh that Su Dieyi was a delicate woman, and she couldn't find her sister by hiding a drop of water, but it wasn't until he saw Sisi not long ago that he realized that Su Dieyi didn't control Meng Yiting at all, but used his obsession with his sister to deceive him for so many years.
This is also the reason why Meng Yijie wants those Jianghu people to kill Su Dieyi. Because Su Dieyi is indeed hateful, he used a lie to deceive him for so many years, and even made him betray King Jing Shen Xun, who believed in him.
"Why are you so sure that Sisi is your own sister?" After listening to the whole story, Lu Yingquan raised his doubts.
Not to mention that Meng Yijie separated from her sister when she was three years old, after so many years, Meng Yiting has gradually grown up, and her appearance will change, and she doesn't remember anything about her life experience at all, but why is Meng Yijie so sure?
"You can't be wrong, Sisi's age matches Yiting, the birthmark on the back of her neck is the same as Yiting, and most importantly, she looks exactly the same as her mother. The familiar eyebrows and eyes are completely what I remember, so the first time I saw Sisi, I could be sure that she was my long-lost sister, Meng Yiting. ”
Meng Yijie's words made everyone in the side hall fall silent.
Yun Yao looked at Sisi, but found that Sisi was a little stunned, as if she was still immersed in Meng Yijie's story and did not come back to her senses.
"Sisi, congratulations on finding your family. Yun Yao smiled and said, "I have never heard you mention your life experience before, and now it seems that you don't want to mention it, but you don't know it at all." ”
"All this...... I don't even remember, I've been in Yiguo since I can remember. After studying qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, and etiquette with a woman for two years, she sent me to the Yiwang Palace, and from then on, I ...... I never saw her again. Sisi lowered her head and said this, a gloom flashed in her eyes.
In fact, she can appreciate Meng Yijie's kindness to her, although Meng Yijie thought she was a mute at first, he also took care of her, and took her with him no matter what he did.
It doesn't matter if blood is thicker than water, or if you are moved, at least this brother admits it in Sisi's heart.
It's just that she didn't expect that Meng Yijie had been persistent for so many years in order to find her, and even been coerced by Su Dieyi for so long, she suddenly felt a little sorry for her brother.
"Yiwang Palace?"
Just when Sisi was silent, a startled voice suddenly sounded, Meng Yijie's eyes suddenly tightened, looking at these people in front of him, the shock in his heart was beyond measure.
He didn't miss the information in Sisi's words, Sisi was sent to Yiwang Palace, either a palace concubine or a palace maid, but now it seems that Sisi is obviously the maidservant next to the graceful and luxurious beauty in front of him, that is to say......
"Since you are Sisi's brother, I believe that you will not harm her, so we will not hide it from you. Lu Yingquan saw that he had inadvertently revealed their origins, and he was not angry, but calmly revealed, "We are indeed from Yiwang Palace, I am the queen of Yiwang Shen Che, Yun Yao is my sister, and this one is ...... It was the great general Gu Qingming. ”
"Queen Yi, General?" Meng Yijie was completely shocked by the identity of the person in front of him, "General Gu...... Zhenbei General Gu Yanfeng, who are you?"
"Gu Yanfeng is my father. When Gu Qingming heard his father's name, he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked, "How does King Side by side know his father's name?"
"Beidi invaded, the city was destroyed, and the border people were destroyed and displaced. After my sister and I left our hometown, I heard that the imperial court had sent the Gu family army to the north to defend against the enemy, and Gu Yanfeng, the general of Zhenbei, was the one who led the army. Under the leadership of General Gu, the Gu family army fought bravely and skillfully, allowing Beidi to retreat and restore tranquility to the border. Moreover, General Gu Lao also ordered that those who died in the war but no one sent them to their deaths should be buried alive. Meng Yijie said, "It can be said that General Gu is the benefactor of my Meng family, it is he who protects the border, and it is he who collects the remains of his parents." ”
It was in that battle that my father was seriously wounded and died soon after. Gu Qingming heard this and said so.
Yun Yao seemed to feel the fluctuation of Gu Qingming's mood, and the hand placed under the table involuntarily put it on his hand, which seemed to convey a kind of power, a power that could make him feel at ease.
Gu Qingming turned his head and gave Yun Yao a good look, which made Yun Yao feel at ease.
"Unexpectedly, by chance, there is such a relationship in this. Meng Yijie also felt a little regretful, but after a slight pause, he suddenly got up and bowed towards Gu Qingming, "Since General Gu has passed away, then please accept my worship." ”
