Chapter 163 The True Face of Lushan
In the Qinguan courtyard, lanterns are hung high.

Gu Yuchu and Xiao Ling sat across from each other in the room, quietly listening to him talk about past events that she didn't know fully.

"My mother and Qi Jian's mother are biological sisters. Their aunt Chang Ruixin is the princess of Qi Sheng, King of the Northern Qi Dynasty. When Qi Sheng rebelled, the embroidered messenger was reporting back in Beijing, and my mother accidentally bumped into her. She was in panic. She wrote two letters, one to Chang Ruixin and one to Qi Jian's mother. When my father found out, he took advantage of the situation and ordered someone to intercept the letter and send it to Beiqi on the way, while the other one went smoothly. Your mother took her to the Dongqi Palace, but this letter was tampered with by Le Jia Huanyu on the way, which revealed the truth that Beiling supported the rebellion and exaggerated the tense situation on the border."

"How could Le Jia Huanyu know that your mother-in-law sent a secret letter? Even if she knew, how could she have the chance to tamper with it?" Gu Yuchu asked.

"There is Xunying in Dongqi, there are embroidered robe envoys in Beiling, and Hehe naturally has its own secret guards. What's more, the Hehe Kingdom back then was completely dependent on Beiling, and the embroidered robe envoys could enter and leave the Hehe Kingdom without holding the jade certificate of clearance. Qiongzhou is the closest official road to Dongqi, so it is not difficult for Le Jia Huanyu to find an opportunity to replace a letter in his own country."

Gu Yuchu smashed the desk hard, and the anger in his eyes ignited again: "Le Jia Huanyu said that my mother had tampered with the letter and forced Concubine Yi to take risks, which led to her death. Who is he? What do you want to do!?”

"The purpose of He He's attachment to Beiling is to ask my father to send troops to help him get back the rich land in the Linghe area occupied by Dong Qi from Dong Qi. However, in order to ensure safety, my father plans to divide the forces within Dong Qi first. Then take action. So Lejia Huanyu proposed a plan to encourage Qi Sheng to rebel. However, things developed too smoothly later. He was worried that Beiling would become the dominant country from now on and would turn his back and annex Hehe, so he actively Plan and find a way out.”

"That's why he found my mother and threatened her to spy on Beiling and Dongqi for Hehe. But my mother refused, so he told Emperor Ming in advance about Beiqi's rebellion and the identity of her embroidered messenger. Asylum, and later the drama of catching turtles in a urn in the Northern Qi Dynasty and the tragedy of Yuchi's family being wiped out." Gu Yuchu's doubts seemed to have been cleared up at once.

"You know a lot, but Emperor Ming also didn't expect the situation between Old King Zhenxi and Queen Dongqi."

"asshole!"

"Two arrogant emperors were played around by a villain, and no one took advantage in the end." Xiao Ling laughed at himself.

"Master Shui Niang, she..." No one can escape the cycle of cause and effect. Gu Yuchu was curious about what happened to Queen Beiling, but he still stopped talking mid-sentence.

Xiao Ling's eyes flashed, and he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he still had knots in his heart: "After the incident, my mother realized that she was being used by her father. Not only did she kill her biological sister, but she also failed to save her aunt. She blamed herself for this and became ill. She was extremely disappointed with my father, so she set a fire to leave the palace, but she was reluctant to take away her two sons, leaving my father alone. , and later only one was taken away. From then on, she lived in seclusion in Qiyun Mountain and never participated in worldly affairs."

"But I have been in Sanxing Academy for ten years, and Master Shui Niang has never mentioned the past to me." Gu Yuchu murmured to himself, feeling aggrieved. If these past events had been told to her earlier by someone from the past, how could she have heard them? There have been so many detours and the truth has still not been revealed.

"You don't have to blame her. That old incident has been stuck in her heart, and over time it has become an untouchable evil. She can always dream of her bloody sister and aunt, and she can't sleep at night or eat. My master has no choice but to seal By inhabiting her spiritual acupoint, she will no longer be able to remember the past and old people, including me and Ling Ziyu, of course."

Xiao Ling's eyelids were drooped, and Gu Yuchu could not clearly see his expression, but strangely, she could feel the sadness in his heart.

They are all poor people under the tragedy caused by the desire for power.

"Don't be sad, at least your mother is still here." Gu Yuchu comforted, and Xiao Ling smiled lightly at her.

"But why are you telling me this?" she continued to ask tiredly.

"I don't want you to have random thoughts and feel sorry for yourself. People inside are not willing to look back on all the past events, let alone the initiators. They either deliberately conceal it or add fuel to the fire. It doesn't matter what the truth is to them. What matters is how to manipulate people's hearts and achieve their own goals. It’s just a purpose. And those who are obsessed with the truth often get stuck in it and cannot extricate themselves.”

Xiao Ling was very honest. He really didn't want the woman in front of him to think about these old things anymore and be used by others on the way to find the truth.

"Are you that kind of person?" Gu Yuchu understood his painstaking efforts and asked quietly looking into his eyes.

"Qi Jian and I are both insiders who cannot escape and have to face the past." Xiao Ling smoothed the dog-eared corner of the cover of the medical book with regret, "My father secretly supported the rebellion of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was encouraged by Le Jia Huanyu, while Emperor Ming Le Seeing this, so I, Ling Ziyu, Qi Jian and Lejia Pengkang are not innocent. Only you and Shu Yuan have lived a hard life these past ten years." Gu Yuchu looked at him quietly for a long time , surprised by his frankness, said a faint thank you. If she could be as indifferent as him, she should be able to really let go.

"No need, I also have selfish motives." Almost at the same time, Xiao Ling continued, "From now on, I want to get along with you openly and without any further deception."

Looking at Xiao Ling who was so sincere, Gu Yuchu didn't know how to respond, but she remembered that she had made it clear to him before that they could only be friends who had nothing to do with Fengyue, not to mention that she now knew that he was Qi Jian's cousin , the crown prince of Beiling, there is no more possibility between them.

"I know that Yuntong Bank, a copper coin, he didn't come, and you didn't even care about Gu Fan's life or death and didn't go back."

"You!" Gu Yuchu's originally calm heart suddenly started to surge. He actually knew all about her uneasy thoughts about Qi Jian and her uneasy guilt towards Gu Fan.

"However, two years later, Princess Eleven and Qin Dongqi, if you regret it, it's still too late." Xiao Ling admitted in his heart that he was jealous of Qi Zhen. This woman was determined to him in every possible way, but she had no connection with that bastard Qi Zhen. , he was impulsive and began to speak indiscriminately.

"You don't have to worry about it!" Gu Yuchu angrily stood up to leave, but was held back by Xiao Ling.

"Don't go." He rarely showed weakness. He hadn't finished speaking today, so he couldn't let her go.

"Get out!" Gu Yuchu was furious and cursed willfully. Then he kicked the short man behind him and started fighting with the man.

She made fierce moves, but Xiao Ling gave in step by step.

"I want to try today to see how deep you are hiding!" Although it was out of anger, it was the truth. Gu Yuchu's little curiosity was all given to him, but this man looked at himself clearly. It really made her feel very unhappy.

With another kick, as if she had calculated it accurately, she shattered the sapphire chessboard that Xiao Ling liked.

He sighed, but still refused to take action.

When Gu Yu first saw this, he rushed towards his guqin and kicked on the legs of the qin stand. With a bang, the guqin fell to the ground and two of its strings were broken.

Xiao Ling frowned, not thinking that a woman who had always been calm and tolerant, making trouble unreasonably, was worth twenty arrogant young ladies and ten unreasonable aunts, but even so, he still endured it.

When he failed twice, Gu Yuchu went straight to his medicine box, tore up his medical books and smashed his gilded pipa scale.

"That's enough!" He finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Gu Yuchu sneered. This expected result made her feel indescribable sadness.No matter how much he likes himself, at the critical moment, he can't compare to these treasures of his.

"If you don't take action, I will demolish your house!"
