Chapter 411, Secret
Seeing Gu Jian knocking the guard back and causing him to spit blood with just one wooden stick, Wei Qi and Wu Jingyi's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but look at the old man in front of them again.
However, the next scene made the two of them, no, everyone in the yard, stare with their eyes wide open.
"Uncle, the guards didn't mean it."
uncle?
Who is uncle?
Whose uncle
Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi were a little confused, but Wei Qi and Eunuch An had expressions that showed as if they were expected.
Gu Jian ignored Fifth Master, carefully removed the silver needle from Grandma Gu's body, helped her up, and then quickly walked towards Daohua who was lying at the door.
Granny Gu was also worried about Daohua, so she followed tremblingly. But after taking two steps, her vision became a little dark and her body swayed for a moment. Then she felt a pair of strong and sturdy arms holding her up.
Looking at Granny Gu, Uncle Wu's lips moved and his eyes were very complicated, showing self-blame and guilt, joy and happiness, as well as heartache.
Granny Gu didn't even look at Uncle Wu and walked quickly towards Gu Jian.
Uncle Wu had no choice but to support the old lady over.
"Is Rice Flower okay?"
Before getting close, Granny Gu asked anxiously.
Gu Jian glanced at Wu Ye coldly: "You have good guards."
He would be happy to see Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao suffer a little, after all, boys can only become useful if they are not worked on; but Daohua is a girl, delicate and fragile, how could she withstand the beatings from the guards?
Seeing her sister's worried face, she said softly, "It's okay, she just fainted, but she needs to rest for a few days."
The guard's grip was quite strong. He took a look and saw that the back of his apprentice's neck was already bruised.
Granny Gu: "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take Daohua to Taohua An to rest."
Gu Jian nodded, but did not move immediately. He was holding Daohua and could not support his sister. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Sensing Gu Jian's embarrassment, the Fifth Master, who had been left alone, immediately said, "Mom, let me help."
Hearing the Fifth Master's address, Grandma Gu was a little stunned, while Gu Jian glanced at the Fifth Master.
Both of them remained silent, but neither of them objected.
The other people in the yard had now become motionless statues.
Obviously, the word "mother" is much more lethal than "uncle".
Afterwards, Gu Jian walked in front holding Daohua, and Wu Ye supported Gu Po Po and walked behind. The four of them slowly left the village.
Eunuch An and Wei Qi immediately trotted up to follow.
Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua looked at each other and followed, but when they reached the door, they stopped very attentively.
Wei Qi was protecting the Fifth Master, and Eunuch An was waiting on him. It was their duty and reasonable for the two of them to follow him. However, if they followed him, they would be suspected of prying into the Fifth Master's private affairs.
Then, the two saw Wu Ye squat down, pick up the old lady on his back, and personally send her up the mountain.
Looking at this scene, Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua took a breath at the same time.
"Commander Wu's family has lived in the capital for generations. Have you heard of the devastating fire in Chengqian Palace in the 22nd year of Taixing?"
"How could you not remember? The late emperor's favorite imperial concubine died in that fire."
"I heard that besides the Imperial Concubine, another concubine also died?"
Wu Jingyi was stunned: "I don't know about that."
The concubine selected is just a palace concubine without rank. With the Imperial Noble Consort in front, who would pay attention to such a small person?
Wu Jingyi looked at Yang Chenghua inquiringly: "Why would you care about an old almanac from decades ago?"
Yang Chenghua smiled and didn't answer.
Why?
Although the current emperor is a wise ruler, as the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. In order to avoid committing taboos, he has spent a lot of time and effort to carefully consider the current emperor's preferences since he took office.
During this period, he made a surprising discovery, that is, the current emperor was not as close to the Jiang family as he appeared to be. Once, he even saw the current emperor showing murderous intent towards Prince Jiang.
After discovering this, he was worried for a long time. For the sake of his family's life and property, he forced himself to forget about it, but man proposes, God disposes.
In the fifth year of Yongxing, Concubine Shengde and Concubine Duxian suffered miscarriages one after another. He was responsible for investigating the matter and discovered a secret of the previous dynasty in the Imperial Hospital.
It turned out that when the Empress Dowager was still the Queen, an ancient concubine in Kunning Palace had been pregnant twice. He silently calculated the time according to the doctor's advice, and it just matched the current Emperor and Prince Ping.
He still remembers the fear he felt when he learned about this.
The current Prince of Peace is not the Queen Mother’s biological son!
This is simply horrifying.
Wu Jingyi glanced at Yang Chenghua who was lost in thought, and secretly called him an old fox. This old guy must know some inside information.
However, he didn't care.
Anyway, the ending is already in front of him.
At this time, a guard came back carrying a falcon with a pierced throat.
"Fortunately, my subordinates were quick, otherwise, this Saker Falcon would have tipped off the enemy."
Looking at the guards who were seeking credit, Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua glanced at the guard next to them with blood on the corner of his mouth, and looked at the guard who shot the falcon with some sympathy.
That old man has a bad temper, and the guard might be in trouble.
Wu Jingyi: "Clean this up first, don't let anyone see anything wrong."
Yang Chenghua pointed at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao lying on the ground and asked, "What should we do with these two clueless young men?"
Wu Jingyi sneered. If anyone dared to stuff a handkerchief into his mouth, he would make them lose their skin. Then, he said to the guards, "Throw them back into the mountains."
Yang Chenghua didn't stop him, but he said, "You better be careful. The old lady and the old man seem to be a little protective of their own people."
Wu Jingyi didn't care at all: "Don't worry, when the guards attacked these two guys just now, the old man didn't say anything, nothing will happen."
However, in order to avoid any accidents, two guards were sent to secretly "watch over" him.
At the same time, Taohua An.
Gu Jian carefully placed Daohua on the bed, applied medicine to her, and then slowly went to the main room.
In the main hall, Granny Gu sat silently, and below her, Uncle Wu was kneeling with his back straight.
Eunuch An stood far away at the door, not daring to look into the house at all; Wei Qi hid directly outside the yard, responsible for being alert to the surroundings.
After Gu Jian entered the room, he didn't know what to say, so he just sat there without saying a word.
After a while, the Fifth Master finally spoke: "Over the years, your son has been looking for you two."
Gu Jian glanced at him and said, "Do you know we are still alive?"
Wu Ye nodded and said, "Those two bodies that the Jiang family left behind were burned beyond recognition. I knew they were fake the moment I took one look at them."
Granny Gu sighed: "What can we do if you find us?"
Wu Ye's eyes were red, filled with resentment and resentment: "My son will definitely be able to clear my mother's name."
Granny Gu smiled bitterly: "Why would the Jiang family dare to take the risk of helping you ascend to the throne? It's because they knew that you could only have one maternal family, the Jiang family. Back then, it was your uncle and I who personally set fire to the Chengqian Palace and poisoned the late emperor. As long as the Jiang family holds this handle, you can't do anything to them."
The Fifth Master took a deep breath and said, "I can't do that now, but one day my son will completely eradicate the Jiang family."
Gu Jian remained silent. He hated the Jiang family to the core. They treated his sister as a puppet to conceive, took away her child, and finally wanted to take her life.
Granny Gu shook her head: "There's no need to do this. I'm a person without a past. You don't have to tarnish your reputation for me."
