Chapter 271 Am I my father’s biological child?
Bu Ruo thought about it and decided to clear up her confusion. After all, how a person's second half of life will be is also related to her choices. This Guo Lu...if nothing unexpected happens, she should be loyal to herself for the rest of her life.
"A plane is a separate universe. In fact, there are many planes in this space we're in. They're next to each other, undisturbed and invisible to each other. But if there's a gap where the planes connect, people or objects from the two planes can communicate. Do you understand what I mean?"
Guo Lu was shocked at first, then nodded: "I see, that is to say... Concubine Rou's lover is actually not from here, not even from the Three Kingdoms, not from this continent."
"If that's the case, then what he wants is not just the throne of Beining, but the throne of the Three Kingdoms..."
Bu Ruo nodded. "That's right. That's why we decided to go to Beining to see what this guy is. He probably wants more than just the Three Kingdoms. He wants to unify this continent and connect the two planes to achieve his ulterior motives."
"As far as I know, the plane connected to Beining is inhabited by cultivators, demons and heretics. So if the two planes are connected, the space we are in will become a purgatory."
Guo Lu remained silent. She thought that taking away other people's luck was unbelievable enough, but she didn't expect that there were other planes besides the world they were in. This... this was simply too terrifying.
Bu Ruo could understand her inner shock at the moment, so he ignored her and let her digest it slowly.
After a long moment, Guo Lu's eyes lit up as she looked at Bu Ruo expectantly: "Princess, if there are other dimensions, do people there actually have souls? Do people reincarnate after death and enter the cycle of reincarnation?"
Bu Ru looked at her with admiration. She was indeed a princess, her mind was very quick.
"Yes, humans do have souls, and they will be reincarnated."
After hearing this, Guo Lu knelt down in front of Bu Ruo and kowtowed loudly: "Princess, can you please take a look at where my mother is? Is she living well? Has she suffered? Has she entered the cycle of reincarnation?"
"I know this request is a bit excessive, but...but that's my mother who has doted on me since I was a child. I...I really can't let her go."
Bu Ruo looked at her for a long while, and finally asked, "Do you have anything that belongs to your mother? It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it belongs to your mother."
"Yes, yes, yes, I have it." Guo Lu said as she took out a jade pendant from her arms with the word "Lin" engraved on it.
"My mother's name is Di Lin. This is my mother's jade pendant. My mother and my two uncles have each worn it since we were young. I left the palace in a hurry, and besides the banknotes, I only took my mother's jade pendant. I don't know if it will work."
"OK."
Bu Ruo took the jade pendant, held it in her palm and closed her eyes. Not long after, the jade pendant in her hand slowly began to glow. After about a cup of tea, when Bu Ruo opened her eyes, a woman in her thirties wearing palace clothes stood in the middle of the room.
"Mother...Mother?"
A trace of confusion flashed across the woman's eyes, and when she saw Guo Lu, she burst into tears: "Lulu, is it really you, Lulu? Mother is not dreaming, isn't Mother dead? How can I still see you?"
Guo Lu wanted to rush over and hug the person, but unexpectedly she passed through the woman's body.
"Your mother is now a spirit. You can only talk but cannot touch each other. Hurry and make the most of the incense stick."
The woman recalled that after her death, she was worried about her daughter and stayed in the underworld, unwilling to reincarnate. Until just now, a beautiful woman appeared in the underworld with her jade pendant and found her... Her soul attached to the jade pendant and came here.
The moment she possessed the jade pendant, she seemed to hear a man's voice, as if asking why that young lady came again.
The mother and daughter cried to each other, and finally the woman spoke first: "Lulu, how have you been since your mother left? Have Concubine Rou and your father made things difficult for you?"
Guo Lu nodded and then shook her head. "After Concubine Rou killed you, she wanted to kill our daughter. It was the wet nurse who bribed the palace servants to sneak our daughter in and send her out of the palace when she was sending you to the imperial mausoleum. The Empress also seemed to have helped."
"I didn't dare go back to my maternal grandparents' house, so I disguised myself and went to the border to find my uncle. I wanted to steal the Great Zhou border defense map and give it to my father to ask him to avenge me."
"Not only did he steal and falsify the defense map, but my uncle also sent someone to tell my daughter that after your death, the emperor cut off the Di family army's food supplies and forced my uncle to hand over his military power. He also suppressed my grandmother's family's business."
"But don't worry, my grandfather no longer holds an official position. He has already taken my grandmother and my second uncle's family to the border to find my eldest uncle."
"Mother...I have already signed a death contract with the Princess Regent of the Great Zhou, selling myself out. My uncle even brought the Di family army to join the Regent of the Great Zhou, just to help you avenge the murder of Concubine Rou and the Emperor."
"Mother...will you blame your daughter?"
The woman was heartbroken after hearing this: "How could I blame you for my daughter's suffering? Fortunately, the Queen kept her promise and helped me save you, otherwise I would die with regrets."
Guo Lu asked in confusion, "Why would the Queen help Mother? What did you say when the Queen came to visit Mother that day?"
The woman sighed: "Actually... if the emperor hadn't fallen in love with the queen when he was still a prince, she would be your aunt now."
"When I entered the palace, she was already the Empress. Before I entered, she told me at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that if I didn't want to enter the palace, she could help me. But with the military power your maternal grandfather held at the time, how could the Emperor agree to that? I didn't want to implicate her or embarrass your maternal grandfather, so in the end, I had no choice but to enter the palace as a concubine."
"She's very disappointed with me and doesn't treat me too well in the palace for fear of making enemies. But she's also been secretly protecting me for so many years. Your uncle has never married... and it's all because of her."
"The reason your uncle rebelled was, firstly, because of my death, and secondly, for her. But the emperor is unkind. If the Di family doesn't rebel, they will be accused of false crimes and executed sooner or later."
"Mother can't help you now, so just stay by my side. Mother doesn't want you to take that position. Mother only hopes that you can live well and safely."
Guo Lu was crying when she suddenly asked a question: "Mother, am I father's biological child?"
puff……
Bu Ruo spat out a mouthful of tea, then calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her lips: "Sorry, I couldn't help it for a moment. You guys continue, just pretend we don't exist."
Bu Ruo continued to teach the two little ones how to summon spirits while listening to their conversation. It would be a waste not to listen to such free gossip.
