Chapter 374: Unworthy of being a father
Si Linglong was startled suddenly and nearly jumped up from Helian Yue's arms. Fortunately, Helian Yue held her down in time, otherwise, with the strength she used, the loose hair entangled in his fingertips would have been torn off directly.
Then you will be truly bald.
"Concubine Quan and Wu Lie?" Si Linglong felt like she had caught something big.
[This part is not in the plot!!]
[Did I not notice? Otherwise, how could I not remember this kind of relationship? ]
Helian Yue: ...
Si Linglong leaned over to Helian Yue again and asked him anxiously, "What's going on? Did they know each other before? It doesn't look like that."
Si Linglong recalled that Wu Lie was ordered to bring her to Helian Yue but was stopped by Gu Qingquan.
Her sister Quan's attitude towards Wu Lie at that time didn't seem like they were very familiar with each other.
"Concubine Quan didn't know Wu Lie's identity." Helian Yue explained, "When Wu Lie was killed, everyone thought he died in the fire, and Concubine Quan was no exception."
The body of the young man dug out from the fire that year was nothing more than a young eunuch who had not been castrated.
"Quan Fei is the only daughter of Duke Zhongyong. She was also the eldest princess's study companion and often went in and out of the palace."
Because of this, he accidentally met Baili Lie who was bullied and humiliated by other princes and princesses.
Gu Qingquan had the spirit of a daughter of a general since she was young, so she naturally couldn't stand such bullying of the weak. However, she was only a court lady and could not control the princes and princesses, so she secretly took Baililie to exercise and even taught him martial arts.
According to her, only if one is strong enough can one stop bullying. Even if one cannot fight back, at least he can still run away.
Helian Yue once saw the two of them doing horse stance together. At that time, he thought they were naive and did not report them.
Life in the palace was difficult, so he showed his kindness by not meddling in other people's affairs.
Later, Gu Qingquan found out that he knew about their affair. Not only did she not feel guilty at all, but she asked him to help cover it up. She even bribed him with the small bribe given to her by her father, asking him to help replace the old nanny who secretly treated Baililie harshly.
Helian Yue was not willing to get involved in the affairs with the little ghost, but Gu Qingquan at that time was not as reasonable as she is now, so she succeeded a few times.
As he grew up, he never paid much attention to the affairs of Bai Lie and Gu Qingquan, but he happened to discover that the skills the young man had developed were somewhat similar.
Later, Baililie died in the fire, and it was also at that time that Helian Yue saw Gu Qingquan crying like a child in front of others for the first time.
Si Linglong listened quietly to him talking about some things when they were children, and then heard about the fire. Helian Yue accidentally found Baililie dying after escaping, and decided to make him fake his death.
"I don't quite understand." Si Linglong raised her steamed bun hands, "Since he is not dead, why not let him go back? Even if life in the palace is hard, he has almost escaped death. Can't Beichen take this opportunity to take him back?"
Why would a prince fall to the point of hiding his identity and not showing his true face to others?
Helian Yue paused for a moment as he twisted his hair around his fingers. After a long pause, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Although he was bullied, no one in the Abyss ever wanted to kill him."
Helian Yue said, "The person who wanted his life back then was his father, the King of Beichen."
Si Linglong's eyes trembled violently, and she subconsciously wanted to ask why, but the next second, she thought of the reason -
It was for a reason to go to war.
Beichen relied on Baililie as a proton and built up his strength for eight years. He finally had the strength to compete with Dayuan, but he chose to sacrifice his young son who had endured humiliation for many years...
Even if he survived the fire, he would have faced the same fate in the future.
From the day he was sent to the Abyss, he was destined to have no chance of returning to Beichen alive.
Even though she knew this was just a plot twist, Si Linglong couldn't help but curse, "Scumbag!"
[How can such a person be qualified to be a father?! ]
Helian Yue was not surprised by her reaction, and even approved of it.
In this world, not all fathers are worthy of the title of father.
The people are like this,
Royal, even more so.
