Volume 1 Beginning Nagumo Chapter 118 Changes in the Agreement
Outside the Li family's mansion, Si Xing asked Li Yue to turn over Li Heishuai, Li Heishuai took a few steps back with some resistance, but Si Xing just looked at Li Heishuai and made Li Heishuai dare not move anymore, and at this time, Li Yue, whose tears had not dried, looked at Si Xing with a look of disbelief, although she knew that Si Xing's strength was good, but she didn't expect that it would come to such a terrible point, and she went to the meeting alone, unscathed, she could be described as a young hero, this young man, the boy who looked younger than his brother The strength was so terrifying, so much stronger than the head of the Li family they looked up to, She knew that her brother had been cultivating hard to have the cultivation of the Nine Heavens of the Chakra Realm, and the chance of passing the assessment was very small, so who was this friend of her brother? She trembled slightly in her heart.
Si Xing didn't have any special reaction, so he left the city with Li Yue and rushed towards Bachuan City.
And at this time, a big event happened in the Kunlu Wu Mansion on the other side, in the courtyard of Wu Guqing in the Kunlu Wu Mansion, a group of elders stood beside Wu Guqing and said something, all of their expressions were comforting, it seemed that they were very bitter, and Wu Guqing was in the middle, for the words of these elders, there was no way to refute them, and there was no way to hide, so she could only listen to them in the middle of them to tell them about the so-called family righteousness, the so-called pros and cons, she looked aggrieved, she didn't want to listen to these words, and she didn't care about the persuasion of these elders, this seemed to be a war for her alone, but under the fierce offensive of this group of people, She looked very weak, but fortunately, there were still people on Sixing's side, and after a while, Wu Guqing's mother also arrived.
Wu Guqing's mother is called Gu Qingxue, although she is old, she now seems to be one of the best beauties, it is no wonder that Wu Zhen was such a high-spirited teenager who liked her back then, Wu Guqing definitely got her mother's perfect inheritance, and it was even more beautiful and moving, and Wu Guqing finally reacted when she saw her mother's arrival at this time, she hurriedly got up to greet her, and let her mother be by her side.
Gu Qingxue's face was also ugly when she saw her daughter being forced, and gently took Wu Guqing into her arms and comforted her.
"Since you are here, then what we have to do is even simpler, you can tell Wu Guqing directly, you are not young anymore, it's time to understand the sophistication of human feelings. ”
But Gu Qingxue didn't speak, but came directly to the second elder, looking at the second elder with burning eyes, the second elder still had a calm face, and didn't see any mood fluctuations and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”
Only then did Gu Qingxue say, "Second Elder, what are you doing here?"
"What are you doing? Isn't it already clear that the time is up, ready to send her to the palace!" the second elder didn't have any expression, as if all of this was none of his business.
"Time?Didn't we have to wait until Gu Qing was eighteen years old?There are still two years left, isn't it not here yet?" Gu Qingxue frowned, protecting Wu Guqing behind her, Gu Qingxue and the family made such an agreement back then, if she didn't agree with the elders in the family at that time, she would not hesitate to kill Wu Zhen, and then she and Wu Zhen did not meet, but the two of them have been thinking of a way to deal with this matter, and now they are suddenly a little unacceptable.
The second elder finally looked at Gu Qingxue meaningfully at this time, as if he was watching all the small actions that she and Wu Zhen secretly made, for the sake of the family, of course he couldn't let these things happen, and said:" Don't think that I don't know about your little actions, since you made such an agreement at the beginning, it will be completed, instead of thinking about how to break the contract, besides, time can always change, although Wu Guqing is not yet eighteen years old, but there is not much difference between in the imperial city or in Bachuan City, and going to the imperial city can also avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Saying this, the second elder paused obviously, and looked at Wu Guqing, who was bowing his head over there, and the meaning was self-evident.
There are so many family members staring at themselves in Kunlu Martial Mansion, although he and Si Xing have not met much, but since the first time they were discovered, what Si Xing has done since the incident between himself and Zhang Zhan happened, as long as these people are not fools, they can guess one or two, although now Si Xing has been driven out of Kunlu Wu Mansion, but it still has little effect, Wu Guqing also believes that Si Xing will come back in a better way, but now the two elders do not plan to give the two of them any chance.
Although Wu Guqing was unwilling, she knew that she had no way to refute such an arrangement, as long as he said a word now, Wu Zhen would be in danger, so she could only bow her head and be silent.
The second elder looked at Wu Guqing and didn't react before he continued: "It's useless for you to say anything now, these things are already settled, and the people in the palace also think that we should let Wu Guqing go to the palace in advance to adapt to life in the palace! Learn some etiquette in the palace! Don't forget that Wu Guqing will be the imperial concubine in the future, and you can't be as willful as you are now." The second elder was expressionless, as if he was just telling an insignificant matter!
"No! How can this be, Gu Qing is still so young, if she is allowed to go to the palace now, who will protect her! What if the prince bullies Gu Qing! I don't allow such a thing to happen! I don't agree!" Gu Qingxue said as she protected Wu Guqing behind her.
"This kind of thing can't help you, we have already made a decision, the imperial city has already sent an army to pick her up, the army will arrive in three days, when Wu Guqing, you are ready, leave as soon as the time comes, don't think of any excuses, this is useless, this is the family's decision, but you mother and daughter! Don't ruin the blow of the family because of your little emotions, you must know that if you regret it at this time, it is a serious crime for the entire family to die! Are you really willing to let the lives of the entire family be exchanged for your so-called unrealistic love?" The second elder's words were like needles, piercing the hearts of Gu Qingxue and Wu Guqing, but his words made the two unable to refute, so they could only hide these helplessness, disappointment and pain in their hearts.
"Second Elder, I know that this is our agreement, and we can abide by the agreement!, but the time has not yet come, it is their side that has advanced, this is not an agreement!" Gu Qingxue was unwilling to let go of the slightest opportunity, and defended.
The second elder didn't buy Gu Qingxue's words, and flicked his sleeves and said: "Such an agreement was originally based in the palace, but now His Majesty the Emperor has already spoken!
"Second Elder Gu Qing is my daughter! I, I can't just watch her fall into the abyss!" Speaking of Gu Qingxue's tears, she was very reluctant, life in the palace seemed to be beautiful, but they all knew that this was just a quiet surface, but there was a surging current below, the days in the palace were not as leisurely as outside, and it was not as strong as it, the life in the palace, especially Wu Guqing, was still as the imperial concubine, and there would definitely be a lot of rules and regulations, from food, clothing, housing and transportation, to various etiquette, without the consent of the prince, you must not leave the palace at will, and how many princesses will a prince in the palace? When the prince becomes the emperor, it will be even more terrifying, the three thousand beauties in the harem are not just for fun, when the time comes, these concubines are intrigued, and just stabilizing their status is enough for Wu Guqing to rack his brains.
"Hmph! Now you know that she is your daughter? Now you know the consequences of all this? This is what you caused because you didn't obey the orders of the family back then, if you hadn't stubbornly eloped with Wu Zhen and married the city lord of Bachuan City, we wouldn't be like this now, and we don't have to let Wu Guqing suffer for you, all of this can only be attributed to you in the end, and now that Wu Zhen has also come to Bachuan City, you must have known it a long time ago! I heard that he also has an apprentice named Sixing, right, and Gu Qing walked quite close, I don't know if Gu Qing doesn't want to go to the imperial city for this reason, if it's really for this reason, I don't mind solving some of this trouble. The second elder, the surrounding elders, and Wu Guqing all heard the threatening tone inside.
Especially Wu Guqing's face became very embarrassed for a while, this is a naked threat!
"How can you do this! You want to blackmail a girl like this! Don't you feel ashamed that you put the future of a family against a girl like this?" Gu Qingxue was stunned, she didn't expect that the family would threaten her in such a way.
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that our big family still has to rely on a girl to win the last chance for us to develop?"
The surrounding elders all lowered their heads when they heard Gu Qingxue's words, and they didn't know how to say it for a while, how could they not know how ridiculous their behavior was, but now the only way to make the Gu Qing family regain its former glory was to make Wu Guqing the imperial concubine! Finally, become the emperor, so that with the support of the palace power, their Gu Qing family will be the next generation of city lords and become the only top force in Bachuan City.
In order for everyone to have a better development in the future, even if a Wu Guqing is sacrificed, it doesn't seem to be nothing.
Gu Qingxue wanted to say something at this time, but was stopped by Wu Guqing, only to see Wu Guqing step forward and say, "Mother, needless to say, I'll go!"
"But!" Gu Qingxue was a little anxious.
"No, but! You can all use such means, if I don't go, I'm afraid I can't say it, but I want to explain here first, let me go, but I said that I will never have anything to do with the prince! I will not become the imperial concubine! I will not explain the emperor, all this is just your empty idea! I am only going to the palace to protect now!" Wu Guqing's face was resolute, she had already identified a person in her heart, no matter where that person was, there was that person in her heart, and it would never change, and it was impossible to change.
Gu Qingxue looked at her daughter's strong and lonely figure at this time, and tears couldn't help but flow.
The second elder looked at Gu Qingxue, whose eyes were red, still without any expression, his face was flat, as if no matter what the process of all this was, as long as the result was what he wanted, he looked at the many elders present and continued: "Her fate has been decided on the day she was born, all this is not what I want, but you and Wu Zhen chosen, if it weren't for your stubbornness, we wouldn't have made such a decision!" After saying that, the second elder was about to leave, Gu Qingxue stepped forward a little unwillingly, grabbed the second elder's clothes, and cried: "Second elder, don't do it! You can't do this! I beg you, don't let Gu Qing go to the palace." ”
"Even if you do this, there will still be no change in this decision, and you will not have to do such useless work. After speaking, the second elder shook off Gu Qingxue, walked to the door, and was about to leave, leaving Gu Qingxue to sit on the ground, and Wu Guqing also hurriedly stepped forward to support her mother, but Gu Qingxue didn't get up, just looked at the second elder who was slowly walking out with a sad face, at this time Gu Qingxue couldn't hold back anymore, tears flowed out, and she shouted very aggrievedly: "Father! Gu Qing is your granddaughter, I beg you! Don't let the tragedy of me and Wu Zhen happen to the children!!
Father???
Listening to Gu Qingxue's words, everyone present was stunned, looking at Gu Qingxue and the second elder in disbelief, only to feel that their heads were a little unable to turn, mainly because Gu Qingxue's words were too informative, and Wu Guqing also couldn't believe it, the second elder, this person who was indifferent to himself to the extreme, in addition to telling himself about the family's righteousness was the one who supervised his own cultivation, this old man who had been a master for so long and couldn't see the slightest family affection, was actually his mother's father and his grandfather, which was really unbelievable。
And the second elder also stopped when he heard Gu Qingxue's shout, I don't know why, at this time, the back of the second elder suddenly lost the indifference just now, trembled slightly, and even had a trace of vicissitudes, he wanted to turn back but there was no way, many elders looked at the back of the second elder who stopped, and their faces were a little strange, they felt the second elder's mood fluctuations, this has been like this for many years, and he finally revealed his feelings.
None of them thought that this one of the best figures in Gu Qing's family, a heavyweight in Gu Qing's family, the most respected and unfathomable senior elder in their eyes was actually Wu Gu Qing's grandfather, Gu Qingxue's father, this news was too exciting, and many of them knew about it for the first time.
The second elder lowered his head, fortunately, everyone in the audience at this time could not see the second elder's face, they could only see him bow his head, otherwise they would find that this old man, who was always in the ancient well and had no emotion, shed tears, his lips trembled, and he endured the deepest pain in his heart, tears slid down his cheeks, he didn't wipe it, just closed his eyes, and his expression became very helpless and said: "Everything has been decided!
After speaking, the old man left Wu Guqing's courtyard, with the departure of the second elder, the surrounding elders also left one after another, but the scene was different from the discussion just now, at this time many elders were very quiet when they left, looking at Wu Guqing and Gu Qingxue's eyes were very strange, but this is not to blame them, it is really Gu Qingxue and the second elder who hid this matter too deeply, today's things are too shocking, so that they have no way to ease up for a while, and in the end, in the whole courtyard, only Wu Guqing's mother and daughter were left in place, Wu Guqing carefully helped her mother, since she returned to the Guqing family, also has a real understanding of his mother, both his father and mother love her very much, but the two have no way to give him a perfect family, all of this is the family from it, so that his complete family has become what it is today, and now he has become a pawn of the family, such a thing is really powerless.
She wants to fight against fate but is worried about Wu Zhen's safety, she has too many feelings that she can't let go.
Gu Qingxue looked at her daughter's sensible appearance, unspeakably distressed, hugged Wu Guqing, choked up: "Gu Qing, it's my mother who is sorry for you! Mom is sorry for you!"
Wu Guqing hugged Guqingxue into her arms and comforted: "Mom, it's okay, I'll go! As long as you and your father are well, I won't have any regrets!"
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Gu Qingxue's mood stabilized, and Gu Qingxue looked at her daughter with a haggard look and a distressed face: "Child, I know that you have a good relationship with your father's apprentice, and you also cherish each other, but now it is such a situation, you have to go to the palace in three days, I don't know when you will be able to meet for the second time, do you two have any plans in the future?"
Wu Guqing listened to her mother's words, her face turned red, and she turned around very embarrassed and said, "Mother, what are you talking about!"
"Alas, silly boy, don't I know you yet? You and that Sixing man with the name of something must like each other, and he knows everything about you!"
"Mother!" Wu Guqing's face turned red, very shy.
"Hahaha, look at your shy appearance, your father's disciple, you must be a good boy, if you can really be together, I will naturally be happy for you, but your marriage with the prince is very troublesome, as long as one step is wrong, we may become a situation from which we will never recover, have you really thought about it? Now you still have a chance to leave, go to other countries with Sixing, away from this empire, with the talent and strength of the two of you, there will not be any difficulty in living. Speaking of this, Gu Qingxue looked helpless.
