Father-in-law Gui and Qingcang have a deep relationship, so when I mentioned him, Qingcang couldn't help but be stunned, "Father-in-law Gui has served my father and me all his life, and he has done his best." Now every time I think of him, I feel that I am very fortunate to have met him in this life. ”

After that, Qing Cang asked softly, "However, how can you think of him?" ”

"It's nothing," I lowered my head and said, "It's just that I suddenly remembered that day when I returned to the palace from the hunting ground, and Gonggong Gui mentioned that he had a daughter before he died...... So I was just curious. ”

"I see" Qing Cang didn't doubt it at all, but just followed my words, "Grandpa Gui does have a daughter, but she has been dead for many years. ”

After that, Qing Cang said again, "Although Gonggong Gui has followed his father since he was a child, when his father has not yet ascended the throne, Gonggong Gui is not a eunuch. Later, when his father ascended the throne, his grandfather said to his father that he hoped that after his father ascended the throne, he would serve as the chief eunuch of his father's side and solve problems for his father.

Gonggong Gui was loyal to his father and the emperor as his only wish in his life, so he had no objection to this. It's just that I hope that before he is castrated, there will be a trace of blood left. So he married and gave birth to a daughter.

Originally, Father-in-law Gui thought that he could accompany his wife and daughter for a few more years. But who would have thought that the emperor's grandfather died suddenly, and his father's accession to the throne was imminent. At that time, Grandpa Gui's daughter was still in infancy. Although Gonggong Gui was reluctant, he still chose to accept the eunuch and enter the palace with his father.

Back then, although Father-in-law Gui and his wife were made by matchmakers, it didn't matter if they fell in love at first sight. But after all, they became parents, had children, and were husband and wife! How could his wife have suffered such a blow? So, not long after Father-in-law Gui entered the palace, she took her daughter and left the country. ”

"Didn't Grandpa Gui keep it?" When I heard this, I only felt a sour feeling in my heart.

It is said that being born in the royal family is a big gamble. Either win the throne and sit on the throne and sit on the world. Or they are afraid everywhere and linger. But those who are loyal to the royal family, why not have another kind of desolation? Either do everything in your power and become the red man of the monarch. Either flattery and mediocrity for a lifetime.

But no matter which one it is, in the end, you will inevitably have to give up some of the most precious things to yourself.

"How can you keep it," Qing Cang sighed and said, "At that time, my father's father had just ascended the throne, and there were a lot of trivial matters waiting for Gonggong Gui to deal with in the palace. When Father-in-law Gui found out that his wife and daughter were missing, it was half a year later.

That day was the first birthday of Grandpa Gui's daughter. He specially asked his father to allow him to go out of the palace to arrest Zhou for his daughter. But who would have thought that when he returned to the house, all he saw was a house full of cobwebs and dust. The original green-clothed courtyard was also lifeless. ”

"So...... He went to look for ...... "I thought about it and asked again."

It must have been found, if not, how would he know that his daughter had passed away?

"Searched," Qing Cang smiled bitterly, "Father, out of guilt for him, personally ordered someone to be sent to find him." The result was that the wife and daughter of Gonggong Gui had been brutally murdered by bandits as early as three months after leaving the capital. ”

When I heard this, my heart was shocked.

It turns out that everyone in the Forbidden City has a lot of stories that I don't know.
