"That's a plausible reason," Bei Mingxuan agreed. "But what if Dongfang Ge promised to help him fight for the throne?"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, walked in front of the old general and unfolded it.
The content is the correspondence between Gu Qingyun and Dongfang Ge.
General Gu recognized the handwriting.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that Bei Mingxuan, whom he had never noticed or taken seriously before, actually grabbed Gu Jia's neck in his hand.
"It's not true." The old general still insisted.
"Whether it's true or not, I don't care. I don't care about the throne or power." Bei Mingxuan said, "I've been infected with a cold poison since I was young, and I won't live long. I just hope that those who are left will live well. Those who have nothing to do with me will not disturb my life.
If there is a chance, please, General, convey this to me: we are all brothers, we can do whatever we want behind closed doors. But…"
General Gu suddenly looked up and looked at Bei Mingxuan seriously, waiting for his next words.
Bei Mingxuan's face was calm, but his voice was so cold that it made people tremble. "However, if anyone betrays his country and colludes with others to betray the enemy, I, Bei Mingxuan, will definitely separate his head and body!"
General Gu could no longer sit still. He had never realized that Bei Mingxuan had such internal strength. Without making a sound, his heart meridians were so painful that he could feel it. The next second, he felt a bloody taste in his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood into his stomach.
Gu Qingfeng, who had been silent all this time, naturally understood that this matter was closely related to his elder brother.
But he didn't expect that Bei Mingxuan would ask his father so clearly. Didn't he intend to hide it anymore? But he had just said clearly that he didn't care about the throne or power.
Although I know that this is not the truth, what is the purpose of what he said today?
"Your Highness," Gu Qingfeng said, "Is Chang'an also suspecting that this matter is related to his uncle?"
"Chang'an is not suspicious, he is certain." Bei Mingxuan said, glancing at General Gu, "Especially, the day before we set out, Qin Taiwei's men sneaked into the mansion and destroyed the wine that I used to suppress the cold poison.
And that night, Qin from the general's mansion went to the mansion of General Qin.
Chang'an said that under the Emperor's feet, the only person who could be involved with the First Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Crown Prince at the same time was General Gu Qingyun.
Bei Mingxuan's words today shocked the old general, not once or twice.
No matter what was difficult to accept, it seemed natural, "That's her mother's home."
"Old General, don't say stupid things." Bei Mingxuan reminded, "It's true that Chang'an's maternal family is the Gu family, but it's Gu Qingfeng, not Gu Qingyun.
Besides, the old general saw everything clearly during Chang'an's time in the general's mansion.
Having said that, I will not say any more. General Gu should be thankful that this matter was stopped by Chang'an. Otherwise, the entire Gu family would have suffered."
The old general didn't want to admit it, but at this moment, if he was afraid that if he said anything more and angered Bei Mingxuan, then the Gu family would be doomed.
If he accepted the favor, it would mean that it was Gu Qingyun who did it, and he was an insider.
After weighing the pros and cons, the best option is to remain silent.
Bei Mingxuan curled the corners of his lips, picked up the evidence he had just shown General Gu, and threw it directly into the charcoal brazier. "Fu Cheng, General Gu is tired, send him back."
"Yes." Fu Cheng walked in, "Old General, Fu Cheng will take you back."
"I want to see Chang'an." General Gu's voice was obviously trembling.
"I'm afraid it's not convenient right now," Fu Cheng said respectfully. "The princess is talking to the Fourth Prince right now. Do you want to see her now?"
The old general didn't say anything, but looked at Bei Mingxuan.
However, Bei Mingxuan had no intention of speaking.
"Father." Gu Qingfeng comforted him, "You go back first. I'll have Chang'an follow me to the General's Mansion later. What do you think?"
This would of course be the best, but the old general was worried that Bei Mingxuan would not agree.
"Chang'an is free. If she is willing, I will not stop her. Of course, if she is unwilling, I hope no one will force her."
The old general left and saw Chang'an and Bei Mingye from afar. It seemed that Bei Mingye was taking off his cloak and putting it on Chang'an.
Although it was far away, he could see it clearly.
After making sure he wasn't mistaken, he immediately stood up straight, just in a position that could block Fu Cheng's sight. "Thank you."
"I dare not." Fu Cheng naturally saw Chang'an and Bei Mingye in the distance, and he also realized that the old general's so-called cover was useless.
Soon, General Gu left.
Inside the palace, Chang'an and Bei Mingye chatted intermittently, "Fourth Prince, some things have already passed. Why bother? There is no possibility for us in this life."
"Really?" Bei Mingye said with a hint of regret, "Maybe, but I don't want to give up, Chang'an.
Let's work hard together, okay? I know you still have me in your heart."
You? Changan, listen to this.
I feel so nauseous that I can throw up last night's meal.
"Work hard?" Chang'an laughed sarcastically. "If you didn't cherish it before, how can you work hard now? I'm afraid the Fourth Prince is just talking drunkenly."
"No." Bei Mingye paused, holding Chang'an's shoulders and asking her to face him, "I have never failed to cherish you, it's Gu Shijia.
He was the one who plotted against me that time, otherwise it would have been destined that you and I would be together that day."
"Destined?" Chang'an sneered. "Could it be that the Fourth Prince means that you want to put Chang'an in a shameful position, make Chang'an bear the infamy, and make Chang'an a laughing stock in the mouths of others? Is this your friendship and protection for Chang'an?"
"..." Bei Mingye had no thoughts about Chang'an, "You misunderstood."
"Isn't it? To this day, in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, I, Gu Chang'an, am a woman who would cheat on you, right?" Chang'an asked back, "Then, what can the Fourth Prince do for Chang'an?"
"Of course I can do anything?" Bei Mingye's voice was filled with an excitement he himself didn't know about. He thought Chang'an was going to agree, "If you want the position of the Fourth Prince's Consort, or..."
Bei Mingye paused for a moment, then deliberately lowered his voice, "In other words, the future queen, as long as you are willing, is yours?"
"Then where did you take Sister Shijia?" Chang'an frowned, with deep disgust in his eyes. "If possible, I don't want to make enemies with anyone."
The four words "if possible" completely brought Bei Ming Ye into the possibility that hope was right in front of him.
