Chapter 810 Tangled
"Jiankang is in chaos?"
Yuwen Heng was so surprised that he didn't even ask what kind of chaos it was.
Because past experience told him that Gu Youyi's "supernatural powers" were limited.
She could only know the facts but not the reasons.
"But this is enough!"
"As long as we know what will happen in the future, the details of the cause and process of the event are not that important!"
After all, Yuwen Heng wanted to take advantage of the incident itself, rather than curiously tracing the source.
At most, it was this discovery that made his "filter" for Gu Youyi weaker and weaker -
Gu Youyi is not really extremely smart or perceptive, but she has some kind of supernatural power.
Although still very "divine", the feeling it gave Yuwen Heng was a little different.
Being smart or something like that is one's own ability; but things like supernatural powers can only be considered luck.
...Yuwen Heng didn't know what he was struggling with (being pretentious about?), but he just had an inexplicable feeling: this shouldn't be the case.
Somehow, he should have a partner who is equally matched with him.
Rather than a wise man like Gu Youyi who disguises himself with supernatural powers.
Gu Youyi is not smart! Yuwen Heng realized this after they got engaged.
The collective escape of the Gu family left only Gu Youyi behind, which made Yuwen Heng even more convinced of this.
"The Gu family must have discovered Gu Youyi's problem, so they chose to 'disappear' regardless of their blood relationship and the power they had already gained in the Northern Dynasty."
Yuwen Heng is a member of the royal family who commands a large number of troops. It is not impossible for him to seize that position.
At the beginning, the Gu family chose to cooperate with Yu Wensong for this reason.
A few years have passed and the cooperation between the two companies has been good.
But just when Gu Youyi was determined to marry Yuwen Heng and tried her best to help Yuwen Heng with his plans, the Gu family gave up.
God knows how confused Yuwen Heng was when he accompanied Gu Youyi back home that day and saw the empty Gu family mansion.
But he couldn't show it, and had to comfort his bride who was angry, furious, aggrieved and helpless.
Fortunately, Yuwen Heng was very shrewd, and even though he was in turmoil, he did not show any of it in front of Gu Youyi.
In other words, he did react, but given Gu Youyi's slowness, she didn't notice it at all.
Yuwen Heng: ...How could my bride be so stupid? She was so stupid that her whole family abandoned her, and she only realized it at the end?
The Gu family doesn't just have one person, there are more than a hundred people in total.
If you want to disappear silently, you may be able to hide it from outsiders, but you can't fool your own family.
Gu Youyi lived in the Gu family mansion, interacting with everyone in the Gu family every day, but she didn't notice anything! How slow-witted? How stupid?
"...Well, the raccoon slave isn't completely useless after all!"
She is a little stupid, but she is lucky.
Besides, no matter what, Gu Youyi’s surname is Gu.
The Gu family may choose not to help her, but they will not really ignore her.
Yuwen Heng himself came from a large family and knew that families attached great importance to legitimate bloodlines.
Yuwen Heng has his eyes on the whole world, and unifying the north and the south in the future is his goal.
The Gu family had an important position and influence in the Southern Dynasty.
Having a daughter of the Gu family as his wife also played a positive role in Yuwen Heng's efforts to pacify the Southern Dynasty.
And the most crucial point is that the wife is stupid and easy to fool.
Yuwen Heng looked at Gu Youyi's delicate but unintelligent face, and he already had one, two, three plans in mind! "Yes! Chen Jing himself is a traitor, who rebelled against the throne and finally got the backlash!"
As time went by, the major events that Gu Youyi could "foresee" became fewer and fewer.
However, the Jiankang Rebellion was definitely a very important event for the Northern Dynasties.
Gu Youyi felt that she had accomplished a great feat by allowing Yuwen Heng to gain the upper hand in this matter.
She had helped Yuwen Heng so much in the past. Even if she was not so "prophetic" in the future, Yuwen Heng could not be ungrateful.
Furthermore, the relationship between her and Ah Heng is not simply one of exploitation; they are husband and wife.
They are childhood sweethearts and they truly love each other.
Now she has Ah Heng's blood in her belly.
She believed that her lover would never let her down.
The most important thing is that Jiankang was in chaos, and the Northern Dynasty took the opportunity to move south, and within a few years it would have taken over the Southern Dynasty.
After the unification of the north and the south, the Gu family once again became vassal of the Yuwen family.
By then, I will be able to rely on my mother's family again.
"Humph, I know, it must have been for Aqing before!"
"He's just such an ugly freak, and he won't stop even after arriving in Lingnan."
"Grandfather, Grandfather, and the others must have been deceived by Aqing and thought she could make a difference in Lingnan!"
"Lingnan is just a place full of smoke and miasma, wild and uncivilized. No matter how hard we manage it, it can never be compared with the Yuwen family!"
"Once Ah Heng conquers the Southern Dynasty, my father and the others will know who the real emperor is."
"They will definitely regret it... and for the sake of our family, as long as they sincerely admit their mistakes, I will forgive them—"
For nearly a year, Gu Youyi has been comforting herself in this way.
Although she values Yuwen Heng more, she doesn't feel that much of a sense of belonging to the Gu family.
However, she could not tolerate the "betrayal" of the Gu family.
She had hatred in her heart, but also had the pride and reliance of "everyone else is drunk but I am sober". She could only think desperately about what she would do in the future.
Only in this way, Gu Youyi was not completely devastated by the Gu family's escape.
"Good! Li Nu is indeed my wise man and my good wife!"
Yuwen Heng got the definite answer from Gu Youyi and was overjoyed. He reached out and held Gu Youyi's hand, his deep eyes filled with doting tenderness.
Gu Youyi was irresistibly immersed in that look.
Gu Youyi was in a trance for a moment, her eyes were blurred, and her brain was somewhat out of control.
She snuggled into Yuwen Heng's arms and whispered, "But this time it might be different."
"Ah Qing is actually engaged to Chen Duan and will become the future Princess of Liang!"
"Ah Qing will definitely help Chen Duan, the warrior, to come up with some ideas. Perhaps, he won't necessarily fall into the quagmire of the battle in Jiankang as fate would have it, and then suffer a serious loss of vitality."
"What's more, Aqing might even come out of Lingnan, go all the way north, return to Jiankang, and give advice to Chen Duan..."
Aqing!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ah Qing!!! Ah Qing!!!
In Gu Youyi's words, every sentence was related to this name.
The Gu family has been in the Northern Dynasty for eight or nine years. As the first family to become an ally of the Gu family, Yuwen Heng is familiar with everything about the Gu family.
For example, he knew that Gu Yi had a young daughter named Gu Qing. When the Gu family fled to the Northern Dynasty, they firmly stayed in the Southern Dynasty.
She is the same age as Gu Youyi, but a few months older.
The little girl was quite talented, and out of filial piety she accompanied her grandfather to exile in Lingnan.
In the following years, Yuwen Heng's relationship with the Gu family became increasingly close because of his childhood sweetheart relationship with Gu Youyi.
He learned some of the Gu family's secrets - rock salt purification, horseshoes, and affordable sea salt!
These are the foundation of the Gu family's foothold in the Northern Dynasties, but they are not the Gu family's ancestral recipes, but come from Lingnan.
At that time, Yuwen Heng just thought that Gu Heng, the world-famous Duke You'an, was indeed "worthy of his reputation", but as he interacted with the Gu family, he vaguely guessed the truth.
All this seems to be related to the little girl named Gu Qing.
Gu Qing?
What kind of person is he?
In Gu Youyi's words, he was just an ugly and poor creature.
When people in the Gu family mentioned her, they were full of praise.
He could write poems at the age of three, essays at the age of five, and at the age of six he was already very independent and asked to go to Lingnan with his grandfather.
Yuwen Heng had reason to suspect that Gu Qing had probably already been planning to manage Lingnan at that time.
"She's only six years old! Does she have such a broad mind? Does she have such a plan?"
So smart that he's almost a demon! For such a smart demon, appearance is not important.
Yuwen Heng had only heard of Gu Qing but had never met her, and he was already filled with curiosity.
Now, hearing Gu Qing's name again and again from his stupid bride's mouth, he had an inexplicable feeling.
"Ah Qing? I remember she is your cousin?"
Yuwen Heng gently put his arms around Gu Youyi's shoulders, and asked softly in a male voice as deep as a cello, with endless charm.
"Yes! She is the daughter of the eldest son of the family, and is only three months older than me."
When it comes to Gu Qing, Gu Youyi feels very complicated.
On the one hand, she disliked Gu Qing's appearance - too ugly!
If her mother had not witnessed her aunt giving birth, Gu Youyi would have suspected that Gu Qing had been replaced by someone.
On the other hand, she envied Gu Qing's brains.
So smart!
In her previous life in the Northern Dynasty, she was a talented woman praised by everyone.
Although she is ugly, her talent is enough to cover up such shortcomings.
Even Yuwen Heng, although he might not love her, truly respected and honored her from the bottom of his heart, and regarded her as the only person worthy of trust in his life.
Before his death, he also entrusted the prince and the country to her.
In this life, Gu Qing did not come to the Northern Dynasty, but instead followed his grandfather to a place of exile like Lingnan.
As a result, he still made a name for himself with his own talents.
The Gu family would give up Gu Youyi so easily, Gu Qing’s excellence must have played a crucial role!
Gu Youyi is not smart enough, but she is not really a fool.
She knew that in this life, the Gu family chose Gu Qing again.
Even though he was reborn and had the ability to predict the future, he still lost to Gu Qing.
How could she not be jealous?
And the most important aspect is that Gu Youyi feels deeply guilty about Gu Qing.
She stole Gu Qing's husband, her future position as queen, and her chance to rule the world!
"You can't blame me for this. God gave me such a great opportunity just to let me change my fate!"
"I, I just follow the trend, and if you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
"Ah Qing, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not having any adventures—"
Gu Youyi tried frantically to comfort herself in her heart, but self-deception is always a lie after all.
Gu Youyi knew very well that she had taken everything from Aqing.
She felt guilty and conflicted, and she didn't want to mention Gu Qing...
