"Don't be offended, Dad." Gu Qingfeng spoke slowly, "Chang'an is not someone who doesn't know his limits. Besides, for so many years, from my eldest brother's family, from the great general to the servants in the Qin family's courtyard, who has ever treated Chang'an well?
My son only has this one daughter, so she can do whatever she likes, as long as she is happy."
When it comes to Chang'an's grievances in the mansion, the old general has nothing to say.
"Grandpa," Chang'an said, "you must keep a close eye on Uncle. Don't do anything. Regarding the grave incident, Prince Xuan lives the rest of his life in peace, adhering to the principle of 'I won't offend you if you don't offend me.' Don't push him too far."
"Yes, yes." General Gu nodded, "Don't worry about this. In fact, it's not a big deal for the prince to know these things. Grandpa can see that the prince still cares about you.
It's good for both you and your father. Furthermore, Prince Xuan has no interest in the throne and won't have any conflicts with us."
Hearing this, Chang'an stopped talking.
Gu Qingfeng sneered in his heart, you have seen with your own eyes for so many years that Bei Mingxuan doesn't care about the throne?
It's just something I made up in my imagination.
They thought that he would not live long, and the emperor did not like Bei Mingxuan, so they naturally thought that he was out of the question for the throne.
"Although Prince Xuan has no interest in the throne," Gu Qingfeng affirmed, "but Prince Xuan is a man who loves his country and his people very much.
Dad, do you remember what the prince said at Prince Jaehyun's mansion: "We are all family, we can do whatever we want behind closed doors. However, colluding with others is treasonous and betraying the country." That is what the prince cannot tolerate."
Gu Qingyun's words suddenly reminded the old general of something, and he asked Chang'an, "Why is Prince Xuan's internal energy so strong?"
"have no idea."
"He should be weak." General Gu said, looking at Gu Qingfeng again, "You have spent a lot of time with him over the years. Don't you have any doubts?"
"What are you doubting? Martial arts!" Gu Qingfeng asked back.
"Yes, his martial arts. Bei Mingxuan was poisoned by the Ice Buddha Lotus. This poison is extremely vicious. After so many years, his body should have become an ice cave."
"Didn't Dad secretly investigate? He's been using drugs to keep himself alive." Gu Qingfeng said as if it was a matter of course, "Besides, Prince Xuan's martial arts are well known to all the officials in the court. Compared with the First Prince and the Fourth Prince, he is no worse than them.
It's just that she can't stand the cold, is not favored by the emperor, and doesn't like the hustle and bustle.
Over the years, Prince Xuan has made many contributions, but the Emperor has never given him any real power, only some gold, silver and jewelry. All the prince asks is for the Emperor to forgive his mother."
"Yes, yes. He has always been a capable person, but the emperor doesn't like him, so he doesn't have real power." The old general nodded repeatedly, "The medicine he used can suppress the cold poison. I arranged for someone to reveal the medicine to him. After so many years, I almost forgot."
"This time, after being injured by Dongfeng Ge, the cold poison in the prince's body has become much more severe." Chang'an's face showed worry, "I don't know how long he has left.
Grandpa, just let him spend a few days in peace. Don't let uncle disturb me and the prince anymore."
"Grandpa, I'm sorry for you." The old general felt a deep sense of remorse. "In fact, during the time you were away, the imperial capital has been full of things going on. The audience and the actors have all been keeping their eyes on the emperor. Something happened to the crown prince, and there was also trouble at the residence of Grand Marshal Qin. There's a prostitute with Prime Minister Lin who is pregnant with the crown prince's child. Now, the woman says that the Fourth Prince has been taking care of her for the past few months, and now that she's about to give birth, he's sent her out of Prime Minister Lin's residence. It's really lively."
Chang An raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, his eyebrows slightly raised, "It's really lively. But, Grandpa is really generous, he even cares about other people's affairs.
Now that the prince's poisoning has been exposed, it also involves the incident of Concubine Tong being poisoned when she was pregnant. Even if the emperor dislikes the prince and hates Concubine Tong.
I'm sure the Queen Mother will not give up the investigation, and Grandpa must also make plans for the Gu family and for Uncle."
"!!!" General Gu was stunned. He slapped his forehead and immediately stood up and walked out.
Chang An watched General Gu leave and said jokingly, "Grandpa is still strong despite his age, and he's so energetic."
"You still say it." Gu Qingfeng laughed, "You clearly know that the emperor won't find out anything, so why do you still want to scare your grandfather? Is it intentional?"
"Dad, you've wronged Chang'an." Chang'an smiled. "Chang'an was just giving me a good reminder, and Grandpa was just taking precautions. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just..."
At this point, Chang An's face was unusually serious. "Dad, tell your daughter the truth. Bei Mingye's identity will definitely be exposed. When that happens, the Gu family will definitely be implicated. What do you think?"
Gu Qingfeng knew what Chang'an meant. "There's nothing to be reluctant about. What Dad cares about most is your mother and you. Your mother passed away a long time ago. Now that you have a good home, Dad is naturally relieved. As for the Gu family, I'm afraid Dad can't say anything."
Chang An looked at Gu Qingfeng and thought for a moment, deciding it would be better to ask more clearly, "Dad, can't you say anything, or doesn't want to say anything?"
"Actually, there's never an absolute right or wrong." Gu Qingfeng said, "How can there be no love for the Gu family, a family of flesh and blood?
But if you say you care, you've been deeply hurt by this family for so many years. Your uncle doesn't care, because brothers in every family tend to drift apart. On the contrary, your grandfather has been very disappointing to you for so many years. So, just let it go."
Hearing this, Chang An knew that his father was too concerned about him and was upset about the grievances he had suffered over the years. "Dad, have you contacted the royal family of Heshijin Kingdom?"
"No, not even once." Gu Qingfeng looked at his daughter. "Your father can't do such a double-dealing thing. That's why your uncle has to take the position of general."
"Then Grandpa has contact with them?"
"I don't know who your uncle is in contact with, but your grandfather should be in direct contact with the Jin Emperor. The current emperor of Shijin Kingdom is your grandfather's younger brother from the same father and mother."
"Same father and same mother?" Chang'an was surprised. "But, didn't Dad say before that it was my great-grandfather who settled in Shuzhou Kingdom? Then, wouldn't my great-grandfather at that time be the emperor of Shijin Kingdom?"
Changan must have been confused.
"The emperor of Shijin Kingdom at that time was indeed your grandfather's biological father." Gu Qingfeng smiled, "The person who came here with your grandfather was just a prince of Shijin Kingdom at that time.
Chang'an, you are being held captive by your habitual thinking. Just because someone says he's your great-grandfather, does that mean he must be your grandfather's biological father? "
