Yu Xiaoxiao followed her little Gu out of the palace with anticipation for the locust flower cake. <>
Gu Xingnuo met with Emperor Xianzong and talked about Mo Wen. For Young Master Gu, the throne must be fought for, but getting rid of Mo Wen is more important than helping the Seventh Prince fight for the throne.
Xianzong listened to Gu Xingnuo's narration. Just by listening, His Majesty the Emperor could already foresee the mountains of bones ahead.
The two who stayed in Fulin Palace were temporarily isolated from the world. In this world with only the two of them, Hua Chunlin said to Princess Fuhui, "I'm sorry."
Princess Fuhui wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. They had agreed to leave together, and she had left the palace and lived in Jingxin Temple outside the city, waiting for this man to take her away. In the end, she waited for the news that this man got married. At that moment, Princess Fuhui cursed this man with the most vicious words, but now, did she hate him? After so much time, she was glad that this man was still here. "It's so good to be alive," Princess Fuhui sighed to Hua Dagong.
"Don't you blame me?" Hua Chunlin asked.
"I gave birth to a son for Li Xiaoyuan," said Princess Fuhui, "I am no longer a virgin, don't you dislike me?"
"How could I dislike you?" Hua Chunlin said quickly: "Back then, I..."
"You can't put the whole family to death for me," Princess Fuhui raised her hand to cover Hua Chunlin's mouth and whispered, "I was ignorant at that time, but I won't do that now."
Hua Chunlin's cheeks trembled a few times, as if he had thousands of words to say, but in the end he just sighed. The words "the country is more important than anything else" surpassed all love, and the words "there is nothing I can do about it" were enough to describe everything that had happened between him and Fuhui. Life is ridiculous sometimes, isn't it?
Princess Fuhui stroked her subordinate's lips and asked a question that should have been asked long ago: "Are you still willing to marry me?"
Hua Chunlin took a step back, bowed to Princess Fuhui, and said softly, "I am grateful to the princess for not abandoning me."
With just this sentence, time went back more than ten years. At that time, the handsome young Duke of the Hua family stood in front of the princess who was in her prime. Just like now, he bowed and said softly, "I am grateful to the princess for not abandoning me." Princess Fuhui was stunned and could not tell what year it was.
A kingfisher landed on the branch of a flowering tree beside the two of them. The branch trembled slightly, and a petal fell into the hair of Princess Fuhui.
Hua Chunlin picked the petals from Princess Fuhui's hair, hesitated for a moment, and then his fingers fell on Princess Fuhui's face.
"Am I old?" asked Princess Fuhui.
Hua Dagong shook his head and said, "It's not too late yet."
Princess Fuhui looked up and saw white hair in Hua Chunlin's hair, which stung her eyes.
"There is still half a life left," Hua Chunlin whispered, "We still have half a life to be together." Compared to those who will never see each other again once they are separated, they are already much luckier.
Princess Fuhui reached out to touch the white hair of Hua Chunlin, but was taken into Hua Dagong's arms. The smell of her breath was strange but warm, which made Princess Fuhui burst into tears. She thought she had no more pain in her heart, but she didn't expect that in the end, when the pain came, Princess Fuhui found that the wound was still bleeding.
"I'm sorry," was the only thing Hua Dagong could say at this moment.
When Princess Fuhui's tears wetted Duke Hua's clothes, another group of people who had come from Wuzhou arrived outside the gate of the imperial palace.
"Seventh Prince?" After hearing the report from the outer guard in the library, Emperor Xianzong's face darkened immediately and he asked, "Who told them to bring Seventh Prince back to the capital?"
Gu Xingnuo said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, perhaps Marquis Jiang and his men heard about the turmoil in Fengjing and were worried, so they brought His Majesty back to the capital to find out what happened."
Xianzong takes care of Xingnuo.
Young Master Gu said calmly, "It is also possible that His Majesty the Seventh Prince is thinking about His Majesty and the Princess."
Gu family, Xianzong pointed at the table in front of him. Just like the Jiang family, the Gu family had no reason not to help Yu Yi. "Call them in," Xianzong said to the outside of the door.
Soon, Queen Jiang's two younger brothers stood in front of Emperor Xianzong holding Yu Yi.
Xianzong looked at his legitimate son. If no one told him, Xianzong really couldn't recognize that this was his son. Yu Yi's chubby face didn't look much like Yu Xiaoxiao, and Xianzong didn't think that this child looked like him. Who did this child look like? Xianzong frowned. He didn't look like himself, the queen, or his sister. How did this child look like this? (Is it okay if the person combines the looks of the three of you? o(╯□╰)o)
When Yu Yi saw Xianzong, he did not show any fatherly nature. He hugged his uncle Jiang Xuan's neck. The little emperor stared at Gu Xingnuo and grinned, completely ignoring his old age.
"Bring the Seventh Emperor here so I can have a look," said Emperor Xianzong.
Jiang Xuan hurriedly carried Yu Yi to Xianzong.
Xianzong did not hold the child, but squinted his eyes to look at the child's face and said, "Why do you look different from when you left Beijing?"
The Jiang brothers were confused. Why was this different?
Gu Xingnuo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has grown up."
Xianzong asked, "Really? Then who do you think this kid looks like?"
Without even thinking, Young Master Gu said, "The Seventh Prince looks like His Majesty."
Xianzong looked up at Gu Xingnuo and said, "Not like that."
Young Master Gu was stunned.
Xianzong said: "The eyes, nose and mouth don't look like me."
Gu Xingnuo took a few steps forward, looked at Yu Yi who was chewing his fingers, and said in a very affirmative tone: "The ears are similar."
Xianzong shook his head and said, "No, I have big earlobes, and this one has small earlobes."
Gu Xingnuo continued calmly: "The Seventh Prince is still young. If he grows his earlobes, they will be big." Are you kidding? If the emperor doesn't look like the emperor, then who should he look like? Wouldn't the Queen be scolded for what the emperor said?
Xianzong patted Yuyi's little head and said, "Why are you so fat?"
Jiang brothers..., what's with the emperor's disdainful tone?
"Why did you think of bringing this kid to the capital?" Xianzong raised his eyes and asked the Jiang brothers.
Gong Jiangye said respectfully: "I heard that there was a riot in Fengjing, and I am worried about Your Majesty, so I brought troops to rescue you."
"Oh?" Xianzong asked, "Where are the soldiers you brought with you now?"
"Near Zecheng," Jiang Ye said, "When I led the troops to Zecheng, I heard that His Majesty was safe and sound. My father ordered me and the other two to bring His Majesty the Seventh Prince back to the capital to pay respect to His Majesty."
Xianzong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Jiang Dahu is here too?"
Gu Xingnuo glanced at the Jiang brothers. Could it be that the Jiang family would send out their entire army this time, intending to go to Fengjing to fight for the throne for the Seventh Prince?
