Chapter 493 Night Thoughts

From the gate to Tongyuan, the night breeze was blowing all the way, and the slightly cold air carried the fragrance of osmanthus. As I walked step by step, my mind calmed down.

From the excitement of recognizing Xiao Ke and the horror of discovering the secret of Xiwutang, his thoughts gradually became clear.

Except for Ji Xiang Ruyi who knew about Xiao Ke's identity, the rest of the family, even the caring Nanny Huang, didn't know anything about it.

After telling Ji Xiang Ruyi a few words, he sent them to rest. After washing, Gu Yuqing changed into her sleeping clothes, hugged the pillow, blew out the candlelight, and sat alone on the bed.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the moon is as full as a wheel, and its bright clear light illuminates the Tongyuan with silver frost.

Through the half-covered veil of smoke and clouds, she squinted her eyes and stared at the moonlight outside the window. Gu Yuqing's mind was filled with thoughts, and she kept thinking about the thought that suddenly jumped into her mind in the martial arts hall. Mature.

During the Battle of Miao Territory, the Wu clan, which had ruled Miao Territory for hundreds of years, was annihilated because of the leader's betrayal.

That day's battle, that day in the dense forest, listening to Xiao Yu's narration, it was clear that there was something fishy about it and there were layers of doubts.

Not to mention, the emperor's sudden change of attitude overnight made people think twice.

But in the final analysis, on the surface, our army returned victoriously without sending a single soldier. As for the ulterior upper-level transactions hidden behind it, Gu Yuqing was not sure, but he could vaguely guess. Score one or two.

However, she could guess the truth, but those from the Witch Clan might not be able to guess it, and even if they could guess it, they might not believe it.

More often than not, they would only blame the people who marched that day for their overwhelming hatred of genocide.

Her father, Chinanhou Gu Zhen, was the first to bear the brunt.

Back then, there was an inexplicable extra concubine of a foreign race in Prince Duan's palace. Regardless of whether Prince Duan and her were in exchange of mutual interests, it took a lot of skill to allow a prince to risk the disapproval of the world and summon a foreign woman into the palace.

What's more, King Duan also allowed her to enter and leave the mansion freely and interact with other ladies in the mansion freely.

I'm afraid I can't do it just by looking beautiful and soft.

Who is King Duan? His plan is for the nine-fifth position. How could he be deceived by his skin?

The Miao woman didn't look for anyone else, she directly targeted her mother, and even received sincere treatment from her mother.

If her mother hadn't been astute and discovered her evil intentions in time, she would have caused a huge disaster in the Chinan Marquis Mansion.

Then, now.

In his father's martial arts hall, there is a Miao sword inlaid with red emeralds as a totem. The sword is priceless and it seems that it must be used by the Miao royal family.

Among them, the broken sword and the silk handkerchief embroidered with red plum and the word "blood" exposed the problem again.

The target pointed to is Miao Jiang again, but that silk handkerchief is a thing in the palace.

It can be seen that the people from Miaojiang not only entered Prince Duan's palace, but also directly entered the palace to plot secret things.

What happened back then is unknown, but with the broken sword, we can be sure that whatever they were planning would be cut off by their father.

If the symptoms that were suppressed that day had not been eradicated, by now, they would definitely be ready to move again, or already ready to move.

Finding out the truth is urgent.

They can enter Prince Duan's mansion, and if they can enter the palace, they can enter the palaces of other ministers in the court.

If he takes advantage of his father's expedition to instigate many things behind his back...

There were layers of cold sweat on his vest, and Gu Yuqing felt that her hands and feet were ice-cold, as if she were immersed in an ice cave.

Taking a deep breath and sighing slowly, Gu Yuqing felt as if there was a heavy cold black fog in front of her eyes, blocking all her sight.

My thoughts were at a loss.

After thinking about this kind of thing, there was no result, but it could only increase fear and uneasiness and disturb the mind. After straightening out his thoughts, Gu Yuqing did not want to spend more time thinking about it.

Fortunately, although her father is not here, she has Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke by her side... People's hearts are always lacking. It would be great if her biological brother is also here.

Forcing herself to divert her thoughts from the Miao border issue, Gu Yuqing unconsciously savored Xiao Ke's words tonight.

While I felt sorry for Xiao Ke who had to endure all the hardships at such a young age, I also felt sorry for his father.

In order to protect the surviving orphans of his ancestral family, his father made a great sacrifice in his life.

During the interrogation of Gu Yuhe that day, she learned that both her father and mother knew that Gu Yuhe was not their biological child.

At that time, Gu Yuqing was confused. Since she knew what her parents were caring about, why didn't they go find her younger brother, but she wanted to raise Gu Yuhe as her biological daughter?

I wanted to ask my father what happened when I saw him, but I never got the chance.

What Xiao Ke said today made her suddenly understand.

My father and mother did nothing, I'm afraid they were helpless.

The dignified Gusu family in Qibei was brutally wiped out overnight. This incident, like tongs, pinched the hearts of father and mother, making them tremble with fear.

Xiao Ke finally survived. Without knowing who the enemy was and what his purpose was, and with the darkness in front of him, all his father and mother could do was to try their best to protect Xiao Ke carefully.

Xiao Ke was rescued from Gusu Mansion in the north of Qi Dynasty. He was originally raised somewhere. Something happened that made that place unsafe enough, so his father took advantage of the situation and used King Duan to steal and move him to another place. In the palace, he is guarded day and night.

He is the only surviving member of the Gusu family!
If the father reveals himself and goes to look for his younger brother who was replaced by King Duan, then who will lurk in the palace to protect Xiao Ke!
Only if he does this kind of thing himself can he feel at ease!
The father was like this because he sacrificed his younger brother for Xiao Ke.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing felt like her heart was being strangled with a rough, calloused hand.

I wanted to take a breath, but it was stuck in my throat, neither going up nor coming down.

Involuntarily, the face of the mountain king he saw in Longyang Mountain emerged in his mind. His desolate and painful mood swings when he learned her name were like a hard thorn in Gu Yuqing's already unbearable convulsion. Another hard stab in the heart.

That night, she hugged the pillow and leaned there. For the first time since her rebirth, she couldn't sleep all night.

Watching the dark night gradually turn gray and then white, listening to the quiet courtyard with only a few dog barks, and the sound of people working at work, Gu Yuqing took a deep breath and put the pillow Throwing it aside, he lay down with his clothes on and slowly closed his eyes.

Although I don't feel sleepy, I still need to rest for a while.

Today is the official day for Dong Ce of Yongning Marquis Mansion to marry Bai Yuetang.

Although he had no friendship with the Yongning Houfu, and even more so due to the unpleasantness that happened during Dong Xueruo's birthday last time, Gu Yuqing did not want to attend this wedding at all.

But now, after all, she has been granted marriage to Xiao Yu by the emperor's express decree.

Due to emotions and reasons, we have to go.
