late night song

Chapter 287

One month later, the edict for the death of Princess Helan and a glass of poisonous wine were sent to Tianzihao Prison in Dali Temple.

But Ling Buhuo broke his promise and allowed Ji He and Ji Huan to come to see their mother off for the last time.

This time, Princess Helan was not crazy or arrogant. Instead, with the demeanor and courage that a princess of a great country should have, she picked up the phoenix dance wine glass engraved with 36 gems and raised her head to drink it without any hesitation. .

This is a cup exclusive to the Queen. It is the beloved object of her mother-in-law. It is also the only treasure that she could not obtain in the Phoenix Palace when she was a child, except the Queen's Seal.Princess Helan glanced at her with a hint of disdain and indifference, and there was no trace of attachment to this world in her eyes.

Until the end of her life, she did not leave a single word with her children.

Ji He and Ji Huan burst into tears, and after giving another big salute, they crawled to the ground and grabbed their mother's dress tightly and refused to let go.

When the prison officer came to the Prince's Mansion to report, Gu Yuchu and Ling Buhuo were rehearsing the chess game. As she sighed, she looked up at Ling Buhuo, who had no ripples in his eyes or even raised his head, feeling puzzled.

Ling Buhuo nodded slightly and raised his hand to dismiss the prison officer.

"It's not your style to go back on your word." Gu Yuchu casually dropped a sunspot.

Ling Buhuo then removed his gaze from the chess game and looked at her tenderly.

"Once in a while. Do you think I'm unkind? You won't abandon me because of this, right?"

Gu Yuchu glanced at him sideways.

"I just don't understand."

"The law forgives those who are about to die. Under the law, it is reasonable and reasonable for quasi-blood relatives to see each other for the last time."

"But she clearly asked not to meet her that day."

"The trivial wishes of a dying person are as light as flying smoke no matter how much they are kept in mind, but the irreparable regrets of the living are sharp thorns that can take root and sprout." Ling Buhuo Yun lightly dropped his white wine, paused, and then He raised his head and smiled slyly, "Besides, how could she have died peacefully otherwise."

Gu Yuchu's mouth trembled slightly.

If you step on the whirlpool with your feet and your heart is not ruthless, there will be no bones left.

Therefore, even if she felt that this move was too ruthless, she would be like him.

indeed.In the hearts of people who have been choked and know that they will never be able to recover, the presence of their children is a deterrent and a place of instruction.

For an extremely proud person like Ling Helan, her cowardly children have made her heartbroken. Now she is alone. Only by being bold and calm can she save her face.

"But she is your biological aunt after all."

The man smiled lightly and raised his eyes.

"When did she think that Ling Ziyu and I were her biological nephews?"

"You can't say that. She put all her efforts into it and really wants to choose you as her son-in-law."

"Are you still jealous?" Ling Buhuo changed his seriousness and teased.

"I really have nothing to do!" This sudden change interrupted the woman's unusual curiosity and made her a little impatient.

"There are some old things that you don't know about. Are you interested in hearing about them?"

"Everyone is like this today." Gu Yuchu threw away the chess piece in his hand, leaned back on the cushion behind him, half-drag his chin, and pretended that it didn't matter whether he listened or not.

"Back then, my father's queen was originally destined to be my maternal grandmother's niece, the third princess of the Sixteenth Division of Southwest Beiling, and Aunt Helan's playmate who grew up together. The two of them had already agreed that their children would be their own. We are getting married. But in Sanxing Academy and the others, my father fell in love with my mother and concubine at first sight. He threatened to give up the throne to break up the marriage and make my mother and concubine his queen. This broke her hope of staying in Ziyan Palace forever, so from the beginning Neither our two brothers nor my mother were accepted by her. She tried her best to marry Ji He not to anyone but to the supreme throne. But what if either of us has no chance of inheriting the great cause? I'm afraid it will happen again. That’s another story.”

"It's understandable that people have selfish motives, especially people who are born with a lot."

Ling Buhuo smiled and shook his head: "She can ask for her innate halo to remain intact, but she shouldn't covet the glory on her shoulders."

"Did she do something that you can't forgive?" Gu Yuchu asked seriously, sitting upright.

Ling Buhuo settled the matter with a white piece, and then threw the redundant white jade chess pieces in his hand into the chess box.

"She shouldn't have touched my mother-in-law, let alone have murderous intentions towards you." The woman caught a glimpse of the red color that spread out in his palm, and the warmth in her heart filled her eyes.

"I know that the killer from Xunmen is related to her, but I have always been curious about how she could hire a top killer from Xunmen even if she could spend a lot of money."

"Aunt Helan also studied at Sanxing Academy."

"So what? The Xunmen are aliens in the academy." Gu Yu was puzzled at first, but then he came to his senses, "But based on my understanding of Master Xiu Ran, she disdains being associated with someone as arrogant and domineering as Princess Helan. of."

"But women get carried away with their emotions and throw all principles behind them."

"What do you mean? They are all women!" Gu Yuchu was so frightened that he almost jumped up. The man opposite sighed softly and continued to talk about old things.

"The year Aunt Helan entered school was Le Jia Huanyu's last year at the academy. Because they were both members of the royal family, Aunt Helan and Le Jia Huanyu were very close. So Le Jia Huanyu introduced her to her. Meng Xiuran and Xuan Lai, who were admitted to the hospital in the same year."

"Master Xuanlai is also related to her? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I hear this!"

"Don't worry." Ling Buhuo smiled and rolled his eyes at her fondly.

"Le Jia Huanyu has laid a big plan from the beginning for the sake of prosperity and harmony. Meng Xiuran, Xuan Lai, and He Lan are some of the keys. He is a cunning person, but he has an extraordinary background and is handsome. Huacong Jingke, no matter how stubborn and arrogant Meng Xiuran is, he can't withstand the pursuit and oath of love of a powerful person, let alone the relatively simple and dull Xuan Lai. At first, when he was in the academy, Meng Xiuran was only responsible for protecting Aunt Helan's safety. It wasn't until she wanted to intervene in Beiling's political affairs but was unable to help that she remembered the two people recommended by Le Jia Huanyu and began to seek help. Meng Xiuran killed people in the dark market for her, and Xuan Lai He made poison for her to charm her, and the two of them just used her to collect information about Beiling. Before Le Jia returned to the west, in order to keep this useful chess piece, she also specially set up a matchmaking relationship between her and Dong Qi. There was support from He He in front of her. , there was Dong Qi to cover it up later, otherwise the little princess mansion would not have been able to hide it from the Embroidered Clothes Messenger and Ziyan Palace for so many years."

Gu Yuchu suddenly thought that after He He surrendered, Meng Xiuran, who had been retreating from the world, suddenly stepped forward to protect Lejia Pengkang's life, and specially gave her a special Sunda Shadow Token after she came to Yundu, and then he figured out something.

"Lejia Pengkang's life was saved by Master Xiuran. It was said that he was entrusted by an old friend. It seems that this old friend was Lejia Huanyu. According to what you said, Master Xiuran was used by Dongqi on the surface, but in fact But loyal to Hehe?!"

Gu Yuchu fell into deep thought and then spoke slowly: "It seems that as early as the alliance between the Four Nations in Dongqi, I was tricked into his trap by Le Jia Huanyu. Later, he persuaded Xuan Lai to use Lan Ye to use all his strength. Assisting Lejia Pengkang, and then using my mother's past and Lan Ye's life to trap me in Hehe, all of these are plotting for Lejia Pengkang, not only that, but also calculated that all the hard work will be in vain. His subsequent retreat was truly uncompromising. When I first came to Beiling, Master Xiu Ran specially gave me a Xun Shadow Token. Later, when there was a murder in the post house, I could not explain anything. It was his lifelong wish to disrupt the Eastern Territory. Fortunately, He forgot about the brotherhood between you and Ling Ziyu."

"It's not that he made a mistake, it's just that he will never believe in the love of flesh and blood and brotherhood under the imperial power." Ling Buhuo added.

Gu Yuchu was silent for a while, then seemed to remember something again, and continued: "If Xuan Lai can enter Beiling's harem as a medical officer, in addition to the arrangements of Le Jia Huan Yu and your mother and concubine, I'm afraid there is also the help of Princess Helan, right? ?”

Ling Buhuo's eyes darkened. This was the initial reason why he and this so-called aunt were at odds with each other.

"Yan Yang's mother was just a beauty with a humble status. It was impossible for her to know about the changes on the front line and the siege of my aunt in the Dongqi harem so quickly after the Northern Qi rebellion, and then deliberately reveal it to my mother and concubine. Not only that, after my mother and concubine came out, On the second day of the palace, Xuan Lai was able to leave the palace smoothly, and the records of Xuan Lai's medical daughter from the Medical Bureau were also missing. All these, except for her, who has a noble status and has no hindrance in entering and exiting Ziyan Palace. Princess, who can do it?"

"Princess Helan has thought very carefully about this matter. No wonder it is so difficult for the embroidered messenger to find Xuan Lai's background." Gu Yuchu sighed.

"Firstly, she is afraid that Xuanlai will be caught by the Embroidered Clothes Messenger and implicate her. Secondly, she still needs Xuanlai to make medicine and protect her pregnancy." Ling Buhuo found it hard to talk.

"Hmm... So, the medicine given to Ji He was also given by Xuan Lai?" Gu Yuchu understood, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"What else? It's colorless and odorless, and the medicine is twice as powerful..."

"Don't make excuses for yourself..."

"Uncle, Ling Ziyu and I are all poor people..."

Gu Yuchu didn't bother to argue with him about the matter, so he asked others casually: "Why haven't you seen anything happening in Prince Jingchuan's palace these days?"

"Ling Ziyu took Mingxi to Sanxing Academy to meet my mother."

"Oh." Gu Yuchu responded and said no more.

Even Ling Ziyu knew how to take her sweetheart to meet her mother. Why did the man in front of her never mention it to her? She was only embarrassed by her identity, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Ling Buhuo seemed to see what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "You and my mother are old friends. The Princess Mansion had already sent a letter to the academy to inform her after you and I decided to get married."

"What?!" Gu Yuchu looked shocked.

"She hoped that her mother would stand up and break us up, but she missed the calculation. Her mother just sent me her letter and a blank piece of paper."

"Does that mean disapproval..." Gu Yuchu lowered his head and felt uneasy.

"No words are worth a thousand words." Ling Buhuo took his sweetheart's hand and comforted him, "My mother is extremely guilty about her aunt and Qi Jian, so you have to understand her. So, I plan to wait until our wedding is announced. After the world is over, I will take you back to the academy to formally meet your mother-in-law, do you think so?"

Gu Yuchu thought about it and smiled in relief. Now that he has come to this point, what is there to be afraid of?
"Everything is at your disposal."
