Chang An took a deep breath and said, "Is this the real reason why Dad has been taking care of and supporting the families of the deceased for so many years?"
The real reason?
"Yes." Gu Qingfeng regretted, "I'm not the only one who feels heartbroken and regretful. Your grandfather has also been atonement for his sins over the years."
"Atonement?" Chang'an's tone was filled with sarcasm. "Will it work? Those families have lost their loved ones and their support forever. Your conscience will be tormented forever."
"Yes." Gu Qingfeng said, "So, for this ending now, I don't blame anyone."
"Yes." Chang'an's heart ached. "Hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of soldiers' lives. They should have died honorably, but because of your conspiracy, they died in a foreign land. No resentment? Dad, you have no right to complain at all."
Gu Qingfeng was silent. He was not hurt by his daughter's words. Instead, he felt a little relieved. He knew that Chang'an's heart was not completely hidden by hatred, so he was happy. "So, Chang'an, don't resent your uncle, and don't blame your grandfather. They have their own difficulties. When two countries go to war, whether it's conspiracy or seizure, the losing side can only accept its fate."
Gu Qingfeng was conflicted. In fact, he did not condone the Battle of Junhai at that time. It was all Gu Qingyun who secretly contacted the people of Shijin Kingdom. Apart from Gu Qingyun's loyalty to Shijin Kingdom, the biggest reason was to let him die.
But Gu Qingfeng had selfish motives at this time. He knew very well that with Bei Mingxuan's strength, it was possible for him to obtain the throne, and he also had feelings for his daughter.
He hoped that at that time, Bei Mingxuan would spare Gu's family's lives for Chang'an's sake.
"Then? Bei Mingxuan was poisoned by uncle. Dad really doesn't know?" Chang'an looked into Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
"I don't know." Gu Qingfeng's face was calm. He looked at Chang'an, "I first heard about it from you. It was Meng Sichan who mentioned it. Don't worry. I didn't tell you some things before because I was worried that the more you know, the worse it would be for you.
Now that you know everything, there's no reason for Dad to hide it from you anymore. Dad really didn't know about Bei Mingxuan's poisoning. If I had known, I would have considered whether to let you marry Bei Mingxuan. Even if you had your own reasons for marrying him, Dad wouldn't want you to be a widow in the future.
Chang'an was very dissatisfied with his father at this moment, especially when he thought of the names of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers. "Bei Ming Ye is from the royal family of Shuzhou, right?"
"right."
Chang'an asked again, "So, your conspiracy is to annex Shuzhou and merge it with Shijin, right?"
"Yes." Gu Qingfeng glanced at his daughter and corrected, "It's them. This doesn't include me. I'm not interested in their affairs. Now I just hope that my daughter is happy every day, and I look forward to seeing your mother in the underworld."
Chang'an thought about it and now all the clues are connected.
Gu Qingyun supports Bei Ming Ye because Bei Ming Ye is actually the prince of Shijin Kingdom, and he was the one who sent this prince into the palace himself.
So where were the Queen's biological children sent to? "Is the Queen's child still alive?"
Gu Qingfeng knew what Chang'an wanted to ask, "Is that child Dongfang Ge?"
"!!!" Chang'an was surprised. "The Crown Prince of Shijin Kingdom, Dongfang Ge? He has the Qilin Military Talisman in his hands. Besides, he is the Crown Prince and will inherit the throne in the future."
Gu Qingfeng glanced at Chang'an, "Qilin Military Token? Did you give it to him? Have you ever seen a prince of any country ascend to the throne so smoothly?"
Dongfang Ge is now a thorn in the eyes of the other princes that must be removed. The Emperor of Shijin Kingdom only protects him to keep Bei Ming Ye in the throne. When Bei Ming Ye ascends the throne of Shuzhou Kingdom, Dongfang Ge of Shijin Kingdom will disappear.
Chang'an was shocked. "What a huge conspiracy. Come to think of it, Grandpa would rather I marry Bei Mingye."
"What's the use of hoping? Dad won't agree." Gu Qingfeng said with certainty, "Even if I die, I will oppose you marrying Bei Mingye. But now, it's all in the past. Now you are with Prince Xuan, which is great. Dad is relieved."
"Yes." Chang'an thought of his past life. "If Bei Ming Ye had the support of the Southern Emperor, then Shuzhou, Shijin, and Nan Kingdom would all be in his hands. The only remaining small Zuoshi Kingdom would be within his grasp.
"So," Gu Qingfeng said, "You and Prince Xuan are doing well together now. Don't let the past ruin your present..."
"Dad!" Chang'an interrupted Gu Qingfeng, "Don't talk about this anymore. I will avenge my grudge and I won't delay my own life."
"Okay, okay, okay. You can make your own decision on your own affairs." Gu Qingfeng smiled. "As long as my daughter is happy, everything is fine."
A bright smile appeared on Chang'an's face. Now she had no way back. Whether she wanted revenge or not, Bei Ming Ye would never get her wish. Bei Ming Xuan alone would not let him succeed.
She was sure.
But should I tell Bei Mingxuan this news?
Changan hesitated, "Where is Bei Mingxuan..."
"Whatever you want!" Gu Qingfeng was selfish. He knew the condition of his own body and that he might not live long, but he didn't care about the life and death of Gu Qingyun and his family. If they bullied his daughter, he would not let them go even if Bei Mingxuan didn't take action in the future.
I had originally thought that I would get rid of them before I died, so that they wouldn't harm my daughter.
"Dad, don't worry, Bei Mingxuan will execute the entire Gu family for treason and collaborating with the enemy."
"That's what we should do, but please don't implicate the servants, they are innocent."
Chang'an stopped talking. She knew that her father was not a cruel person after all.
"Master." Meng Tan said outside the door, "The master and the great master are here and have just walked into the courtyard."
"I see." Gu Qingfeng looked at his daughter, "I think it's coming for you."
Chang'an didn't say anything.
Soon, Gu Qingyun's voice came from outside the door, "Is Princess Xuan still here?"
"My master is here, General." Bai Lu said calmly, "I wonder if there's anything wrong, General?"
Gu Qingyun deliberately raised his voice, "Excuse me, it's Gu Qingyun who requests an audience."
Bai Lu looked at Gu Qingyun with a respectful attitude, "Wait a moment."
The door suddenly opened, and Chang'an looked at General Gu and Gu Qingyun outside the door, "Grandpa, General Gu, my father invites you in."
General Gu and Gu Qingyun walked in.
Changan seemed to have just remembered Wanxin, "Uncle Meng, where is Aunt Wanxin?"
