The first is that the two formed an alliance for some unknown reason, and Xia Qing was working for the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was hiding behind the scenes, giving the world the illusion that he was still ill and deceiving the world. In fact, he was hiding behind the scenes and controlling the court through Xia Qing.
The other one is that the two have a cooperative relationship, but they are not an alliance. This sounds like they are contradictory, but it is not. Xia Qing and the fourth prince can cooperate on certain things, but they still have their own thoughts and schemes against each other.
Gu Chengyu was more inclined to the latter, after all, Xia Qing would not be willing to surrender to the fourth prince.
As for the mysterious person, Gu Chengyu had already guessed it. There were so many people in total, and the first one he thought of was Xia Qing.
Guo Moruo watched Gu Chengyu remain silent, as if thinking about something. Then he folded the letter and gave it back to her.
Looking at those white and flawless hands under the candlelight, she still couldn't react. What did this mean? Did she not want to help?
She had also read this letter. It seemed that it was written clearly and clearly, and there were many clues. In fact, it was all her grandfather's guesses. She had only a partial understanding of it through the letter, so when she took it out, she was hesitant and worried.
But her grandfather told her that to her, it seemed like there was nothing valuable in it. But to her benefactor, it was very important. Her grandfather's words gave her some courage to put forward this condition.
.
"My benefactor is"
"I agree." Gu Chengyu gave the result before Guo Moruo finished speaking.
This letter was very important to Gu Chengyu. At least he was wary of the fourth prince whom he had never met.
Guo Moruo didn't expect that her benefactor would agree, and the big stone in her heart finally fell. No matter how calm she was, she was just a twelve-year-old girl! She had received so many blows in the past few days, and she still had so much pressure on her heart.
The incident almost caused her to collapse.
If it weren't for her two younger brothers, she would rather stay with her mother and them than suffer every day. Even if she dies, she is not afraid as long as she is with her mother and them.
She had been tense for the past few days and suddenly relaxed, feeling very sleepy. She hadn't slept at all in the past few days and was worried day and night, so she felt a lot more haggard.
She suddenly remembered that her mother had always thought she could eat before, laughing at her until she ate her body into a round ball. Just before this happened, her mother had restrained her and not allowed her to eat more, saying that she would eat it soon.
My mother-in-law’s body doesn’t look good if it’s too plump.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, her figure had lost weight, and her mother could no longer see it. Thinking of the days he spent with his grandparents in the house, Guo Moruo couldn't help but sobbed softly.
Get up.
This time she cried, Gu Chengyu was stunned. Didn't she hold it back before? Why did she cry now? Gu Chengyu was always insensitive to women's tears, so he could only give a dry advice.
"Miss Guo, if you think about everything, you can always get over it. Besides, you still have two younger brothers to take care of, so don't break your body from crying."
While Gu Chengyu was persuading, he was thinking that the curfew might have been over for half an hour now, so he had to leave.
"Take care of yourself, Miss Guo. I'm going to excuse you. I will never break my promise to you. It won't be done in a few days. When the weather calms down in a few days, I will think of a way to send you away."
It was getting late, this was the girl's house after all, and he couldn't stay too long.
When Guo Moruo heard this, she quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that she would cry in front of a stranger. Maybe it was because she had been depressed for too long, or maybe because her benefactor was easy to talk to.
"I made my benefactor laugh, but I have one more question to ask."
Gu Chengyu had no choice but to stop and said, "Girl, please tell me."
"I wonder how the imperial court dealt with the Guo Mansion? What happened to the Guo clan?" Guo Moruo finally asked about the matter with a feeling of anxiety.
This incident has been lingering in her mind, torturing her so much that she can't sleep at night. If she doesn't ask, she will remember it for the rest of her life. If she asks, she is afraid that she will not be able to bear such bad news.
Gu Chengyu looked at Guo Moruo, who was already a little shaken, and felt a little unbearable. The truth was too cruel, and she didn't know if she could bear it.
"In the Guo family, the men are executed and the women are used as military prostitutes."
As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, Guo Moruo felt like a bolt from the blue. Then his vision went dark and he fell backwards.
Gu Chengyu hurriedly stepped forward to catch her, sighed deeply, and ordered Ding Twelve to take her to the back room and put her on the bed. He saw that there were two little children on the bed, one over five years old, and another
It is still a baby, that is, the man left by the Guo family to inherit the incense.
I gave Guo Moruo a Qingxin pill and a blood-nourishing pill. In fact, he was short of breath and had no thoughts about food and drink. His energy levels were severely reduced. He couldn't bear the sudden bad news and passed away.
Even pinching someone would wake her up. Gu Chengyu didn't think it was necessary and just let the girl sleep for a while.
Gu Chengyu asked a doctor to come over tomorrow to show Guo Moruo a look, so he left first. Gu Chengyu had just checked his pulse, so it shouldn't be a big deal. However, he was not a serious doctor after all.
Guo Moruo's identity was the daughter of the shopkeeper. Her mother gave birth to a younger brother, who died of a massive hemorrhage. Ding Twelve was the elder brother, and the guard in the mansion became the father. However, the guard was not young enough to give birth to such an old son and daughter.
Guo Moruo and the others were going to stay here for at least a few months, so he told them not to show off their flaws, and then Gu Chengyu and Ming Mo used Qing Gong and disappeared into the night.
After returning to the Gu Mansion, Gu Chengyu cleaned up and lay on the bed to sort out the relationship between the court ministers.
The next day, after Gu Chengyu finished practicing his calligraphy, Hua Lian's voice came from outside the study.
"Brother Mingyan, has your son got married? The Nu family is here to congratulate him on his high school graduation."
The study has always been guarded by Ming Mo and Ming Yan. Today, Ming Yan is on duty, so the person asking this question must be Ming Yan.
"Girl, wait a minute, I will go and inform you."
In the past two days, Hua Lian was still sensible and didn't bother Gu Chengyu. Maybe she heard the news that Gu Chengyu won the Huiyuan yesterday and came to congratulate her, which is normal. Everyone lives under the same roof and pretends not to know.
Or if you don’t express anything, it definitely won’t make sense.
Gu Chengyu also knew what Hua Lian was thinking, so he nodded when Ming Yan came into the room to ask for instructions.
Seeing Hua Lian enter the study, Gu Chengyu asked first: "Why did Miss Hua Lian get up so early? You are used to living in the house these two days, right?"
Yesterday, Gu Chengyu distributed wedding money in the mansion, and even Hua Lian got a red envelope, which was more than the servants, just to please them. Speaking of this, he remembered that he would hold a banquet in the mansion today, and invite those who had gone before
People who helped him run around and take care of things, as well as relatives and friends, gathered together.
