Chapter 230: Destiny is connected
As soon as he was born, Wen Zhiyuan was the natural prince of Western Chu.
Wen Zhiyuan was born with a much sharper mind than others. He could see that Wen Xize did not care much about him, so he never hoped to get anything from Wen Xize.
He saw the concern of his mother Su Yu for herself. But Su Yu's health has always been bad, so how could he let Su Yu worry about his affairs anymore, and gradually became accustomed to saying nothing.
Later, Su Yu passed away, and only one person was left in the palace. As the crown prince, he was not loved by the Emperor of Chu. In order to stabilize the position of the crown prince, he paid too much, and every step was like walking on the tip of a knife. If he was not careful, he would fall down a cliff and his bones would not exist. At the same time, he also shouldered the safety of the Su family, because it was Su Yu's wish to protect the Su family.
If this continues, Wen Zhiyuan has long been exhausted, and he is used to fighting alone and is unwilling to trust anyone.
But since he brought Lianzhi to Xichu, he found that there was really someone in this world who could stand on par with him.
But it was Lianzhi who walked into his heart.
Wen Zhiyuan leaned down and stared at Lian Zhi's eyes: "I'm very happy this time because you chose to come back with me."
"I'm also very happy because you planned to bring me back from the beginning." Lian Ji replied.
At this moment, Wen Yunxi ran all the way: "Wanyang, third brother!"
Lian Zhi and Wen Zhiyuan turned around and looked at Wen Yunxi. Wen Yunxi's cheeks were slightly red because she ran too fast. She stepped forward and hugged Lian Zhi. Lian Zhi was hugged by Wen Yunxi: "Wanyang, you are finally back!"
When Lian Zhi heard this, he smiled with some relief: "What, don't you believe that I can come back safely?"
"No matter how I trust you, can't you worry? Feng'an's situation this time is so urgent, and you left the palace in such a hurry, how can I not be in a hurry?" Wen Yunxi let go of Lianzhi and looked at her, "Are you injured somewhere?"
Lian Zhi shook his head: "Don't worry if you haven't been hurt."
"You went to Feng'an this time, why did you lose so much weight?" Wen Yunxi felt very distressed. Lianzhi looked at Wen Zhiyuan and asked him for help.
Lian Zhi was not a warm personality and was difficult to deal with Wen Yunxi's concern.
Wen Zhiyuan walked forward: "Yunxi, don't you care about me, the brother?"
"Wanyang has always felt sorry for you, I don't want to feel sorry for Wanyang?" Wen Yunxi complained, "Do you know that Wanyang knelt in the heavy rain all night in order to find you, and then his father let go. He was wet all night of rain, but with the permission of his father, he immediately got up and went to Fengan."
Wen Zhiyuan listened to Wen Yunxi's words and looked at Lianzhi, and was about to say something. Lianzhi spoke: "I was rumored at that time. If I didn't kneel down to show everyone, how could my father let me go to Feng'an? Don't listen to Yunxi's exaggeration. I know my own body."
With Wen Yunxi present, Wen Zhiyuan was inconvenient to say a lot, and in the end he just said: "Don't be so stupid again in the future."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little low, Wen Yunxi immediately said, "By the way, you just came back today, and I asked the kitchen to make a lot of what you like. Wanyang, you are too thin and need some supplements."
Wen Yunxi pulled Lianzhi and walked in front, Wen Zhiyuan walked beside the two of them, and heard Wen Yunxi talking about what happened in the palace during this period.
"There is one thing that can be regarded as a happy event in the palace. Wan Zhaoyi is pregnant."
"Wan Zhaoyi?"
"It's Yuan Dai. She is pregnant and her father has promoted her position."
"Then Wan Zhaoyi is in the limelight in the palace these days, right?"
"But Wan Zhaoyi likes simple and does not go out of the palace very much. She rarely sees her, unlike some concubines who are favored by others will forget it."
"It's her personality."
When she heard that Yuan Dai was pregnant, Lian Zhi always felt something was wrong. But she had just returned to the palace and had to leave and see some things.
Gu’s house outside the palace, Xinghan led Yu Niang, Uncle Qi and Jiang Wan into the warm pavilion, and Gu Shiqi was appreciating the paintings hanging on the wall. Hearing the movement of opening the door, Gu Shiqi turned around, Lao Qi stepped forward and shouted: “Master.”
Yu Niang looked at Gu Shiqi and didn't say anything, but Gu Shiqi understood what she meant in her eyes.
Jiang Wan ran forward and said, "Brother Gu, A Wan is here to find you."
Gu Shiqi rubbed Jiang Wan's head: "When I was not here, did you listen to Aunt Yu obediently?"
Jiang Wan nodded: "I am so obedient. Aunt Yu praised me for my rapid progress in medical skills."
Gu Shiqi took out a red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Wan: "This is the New Year's money I have prepared for you. Although it is a little late, it is my wish."
Jiang Wan took the New Year’s money openly: “Thank you, Brother Gu.”
"Xinghan, take A Wan out for a walk. She was the first time to come to Xichu. She must be very curious about this place." Gu Shiqi ordered. Jiang Wan knew that Gu Shiqi had something to say to Yu Niang and Lao Qi alone, so she obediently took Xinghan's hand and went out.
Gu Shiqi asked Lao Qi and Yu Niang to sit down. Lao Qi told Gu Shiqi in detail what happened, which was almost the same as Gu Shiqi knew.
"Master, what is your relationship with this Crown Princess? Why did you hand over that important ring to her?" Finally, Lao Qi asked this question.
Gu Shiqi had not answered yet, and Yu Niang, who had not spoken, spoke: "Where did you have so many questions?"
Lao Qi touched the back of his head: "Aren't I curious?"
"If you are so curious about everything, aren't you afraid of getting involved in anything?" Yu Niang asked, "Why can't you change your personality?"
Lao Qi also knew that Yu Niang was right: "Then I won't ask anymore. I'll say what I should say, so I'll go out first."
After Lao Qi went out, Gu Shiqi joked: "Aunt Yu, you really care about Lao Qi."
Yu Niang smiled: "When I first arrived at Shiyue Tower with you, everyone was full of vigilance towards us, and only Lao Qi was willing to talk to me. Since I have accepted the affection of others, I have to give it a little bit."
That past event can never be forgotten for Yu Niang. Her tone was filled with a hint of melancholy: "Fortunately, we have endured it for so many years."
The location of the owner of Shiyue Tower seems to be charming, but it is actually not easy to sit in. When the old owner passed the position of the owner to Gu Shiqi, I don’t know how many doubts there were. It was Gu Shiqi who used his strength to prove to those people that he could become the new owner of Shiyue Tower.
"You probably guessed it?" Gu Shiqi suddenly asked this question.
It was obviously a mindless sentence, but Yu Niang understood: "It's not that I guessed it, it's very certain. Over the years, I have seen women who are somewhat similar to my wife, but I know they are not ladies. But the first time I saw her was a kind of intuition that was unfamiliar, and this person was ladies!"
"Aunt Yu, you are really partial. When I wanted you to come to Xichu, you refused, but now you are here for her." Gu Shiqi was a joke, but it aroused Aunt Yu's feelings: "I didn't expect that we hadn't found her for so many years in Dongxia."
Listening to this sentence, Gu Shiqi also became silent.
"I have been taking care of her body for a while and found that she has too many old diseases. She is a girl's house, so old that she has suffered so many injuries. I can't imagine how she survived before. In the past, I thought that the time when I first arrived at Shiyue Tower was the most difficult time for me and you, but as I lived through this life, I had hope. How did she survive the darkness from beginning to end, and she could not see the future at all?"
"The children of the Qu family will stick to it no matter how difficult it is. It is something inherited in their blood." Gu Shiqi said, "So she also ushered in her own turning point. Fan Ninghuai asked her to replace the real Lin Wanyang and the Western Chu, and she also found her own future."
"Will Wen Zhiyuan be her future? Don't forget how the Qu family was killed back then!" Yu Niang reminded.
"Aunt Yu, I never dare to forget the affairs of the Qu family, but I have not forgotten my true purpose of returning to Xichu. I went back to Xichu not for revenge, but for justice. If one person's mistakes involve the entire Xichu, then what is the difference between us and that person?"
Gu Shiqi's words were heavy, and Yu Niang sighed: "You are very righteous and the marquis of the past, and Lian Zhi is very stubborn and firm. You both are unswerving people. I just hope that the people of the Qu family will not end up like that in the end."
"Aunt Yu, no, this time I will not let the Qu family's tragedy happen again. I believe that you are back because you know the cause you planted and you will collect the fruit you bear."
