famous eldest daughter

Chapter 752
After breakfast, they took a short rest, put on their cloaks, got up and entered the palace.

On the way out of Chinanhou Mansion, Xiao Yu walked side by side with Gu Yuqing and told her about Concubine Mei in detail.

Because Gu Yuqing had already had nine out of ten guesses in her mind, and when Xiao Yu confirmed it, Gu Yuqing was not shocked, but the charming emotions she had just felt were swept away, and a little bit of sadness appeared in her joy and excitement.

"I don't know how my empress has been living these years. It's so close. Wangjiazhuang is only half a day's journey from Chinanhou's mansion, but I never noticed it." Tianji said that the family couldn't even afford milk. In a word, there is always a thorn. Ever since Gu Yuqing said goodbye that day in Wangjiazhuang, this thorn has pierced her heart deeply.

In fact, her remorse and self-blame were heard by others as unreasonable. She was a boudoir lady, but she had more qualifications and experience as a headmaster than others. How could she have insight into Wangjiazhuang, which was several miles away!
But Gu Yuqing was annoyed. He had lived two lives, especially the last one, and it was really wasted. He gave all his energy and painstaking efforts to the two Zhongshan wolves like lamp oil.

But for these people who had treated her with a warm heart, she knew nothing about their situation.

Wangjiazhuang is so close to Kyoto. In her last life, she tried her best to assist Xiao Duo. Concubine Mei, who lives in Wangjiazhuang, must have heard about it. I wonder how she felt when she learned such news.

Just as she didn't dare to imagine Xiao Yan's feelings, Gu Yuqing didn't dare to think too much about Concubine Mei's feelings, and felt like her heart was pounding.

With a heavy sigh in her heart, she felt her drooping little finger being gently lifted. In an instant, a hot temperature spread from her fingertips straight to her heart.

"No matter whether she had a hard time before, we must make her live comfortably from now on, okay?"

Xiao Yu's voice was as if it had been burnt by gravel. It was dark and magnetic. It came softly from her ears and wiped away half of the depression in Gu Yuqing's heart.

Yes, as long as Xiao Yan, whom they tried their best to protect, ascends the throne, then there is nothing to worry about in Concubine Mei's life.

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but turn her head and look towards Xiao Yu, "Brother Yan doesn't know that Concubine Mei is still alive, so does Concubine Mei not know that Brother Yan is still alive?"

Xiao Yu shook his head gently, "It's hard to say. There was a nobleman who saved Brother Yan's life that day. Thinking about it, Concubine Mei was able to escape death because of the nobleman's help. That nobleman didn't tell Brother Yan about Concubine Mei. I'm afraid it was I'm worried that he will be distracted by this and not be able to go all out for the throne, and as for Concubine Mei... it's hard to say."

"She was tortured in the palace that day, and her appearance was almost beyond recognition..."

Speaking of this, the portrait Qi Ming presented to him appeared in Xiao Yu's mind.

The scar at the corner of her eye spread along the veil, like branches and vines. It was blocked by the veil. Although he couldn't see it, he could guess the way the scar was entrenched on her face...

How could a woman who was once the most beautiful woman in the harem accept the horrific scars on her face?

His heart felt as if someone had poured hot oil on it, and Xiao Yu felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.

After a long pause, he opened his mouth again, "The damage to a woman's appearance must have been severe. Without some spiritual support, I think it would be very difficult for her to live until now without leaving home."

Gu Yuqing nodded in agreement, "I just don't know, the person who saved Brother Yan and the person who saved Empress Mei are the same person. Are they still alive today? If they are, we must try our best to be grateful." After saying that, Gu Yuqing said again: "Then Mei Do you want to tell Brother Yan about the empress?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, "We have to wait until Mr. Gu comes back to discuss this with him. I don't dare to make a decision rashly."

Gu Yuqing's steps suddenly stopped, "My father?" His eyes were full of surprise, and his face was impressive.

Xiao Yu nodded, "Over the years, everything at Brother Yan's place has been taken care of by the Marquis secretly, and everything I have done for Brother Yan is just as the Marquis said."

Gu Yuqing was so shocked that she couldn't calm down.

Throughout her previous life, from beginning to end, she thought that her father was always immersed in mourning for her mother's death and could not extricate himself.

It wasn't until this life that I gained insight into the blood feud between my grandfather and his family, and I gradually realized that my father's obsession with seeking Taoism was not a real obsession with seeking Taoism and wasting his time. He was seeking revenge for his grandfather's family in his own way.

Later, as Xiao Ke's identity became known, he gained a better understanding of what his father had done secretly over the years. He also felt more sorry for his father's silent dedication and blamed himself for his ignorance as a daughter.

But she never expected that her father had been secretly communicating with the prince who was originally executed by the emperor over the years, and had even been plotting to seize the throne.

In shock, Gu Yuqing felt more heartbroken.

In this life, because of her rebirth, she learned all these things about her father. However, the things she didn't know about in the previous life did not mean that they would not happen. On the contrary, in the previous life, her father was also avenging her grandfather's family, and also Secretly protecting Xiao Ke, he was also helping Xiao Yan seize the throne.

It's a pity that in that life, in the Taoist temple on Beihuang Mountain, his father was holding King Duan and was blown to ashes. Naturally, what he had done was completely suspended because of that explosion, and there was no further result.

Otherwise, her father would never have watched her personally elevate Xiao Duo to the throne. Without her selfless support for Xiao Duo, and if her father had taken action in time to cut off the connection between her and Xiao Duo. , if her father had told her about Xiao Yan's existence as soon as possible, maybe she would not have ended up like that in her previous life.

It's a pity that if things happen, they will always be just ifs. Once it happens, it can no longer be reversed. If you die, you are dead!

My heart felt heavy, like a weight hanging on it.

Holding the silk handkerchief and letting out a breath, Gu Yuqing said to Gu Yuqing, hiding the heavy emotions in her past and present lives: "Father, too, he hid such a thing from me and didn't even know a word about it."

Xiao Yu heard this and said: "Brother Yan, this matter is really important. If you are not careful, everyone will be doomed. Lord Marquis is doing this for everyone's good."

After listening to Xiao Yu's advice, Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly at him: "But why did father tell you?"

Xiao Yu looked complacent, "Of course it's because, in the eyes of Mr. Hou, I am a reliable man!"

puff……

It was a heavy topic, and with Xiao Yu's joke, the solemn atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

The group had just reached the second gate, and Ji Xiang Ruyi was about to help Gu Yuqing get into the carriage when a secret guard from Xiao Yu's mansion appeared and hurried towards them. Gu Yuqing couldn't help but pause and look towards Xiao Yu.

The secret guard walked up to Xiao Yu and said without shying away from Gu Yuqing: "Your Highness, Miss Gu, something happened in the palace."
