Chapter 154: Be Frank

Gu Huaizhi was silent, so he naturally knew what Su Wan was asking.

When the family went to Beijing, there were some things that Su Wan needed to know about in order to take precautions in time.

"Jing Yun is the son of the Queen. After he was born, he was taken away by the Queen's wet nurse. He was chased and fled to Guangling Mansion. The second brother was seriously ill at that time. My mother met him when she took him to the county town. The second brother was seriously ill and died. The queen's wet nurse died of a serious injury, so my mother raised Jingyun as her second brother. He was a kind of spiritual sustenance for her, and she loved him as much as her own. "

"When Jingyun was two years old, the regent's people came for him. He gave him two choices, I would accept him as my adoptive father or he would take Jingyun away."

Gu Huaizhi was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time, so how could he fight against the regent?

Gu's mother had suffered the pain of losing her husband and her son, and her mental state was not good for a time. She placed all her feelings for her second brother on Jing Yun, and her condition began to improve. If she was taken away by the regent, she would collapse no matter how strong she was.

Gu Huaizhi complied with the regent's wishes and recognized him as his adoptive father. He left Xinghua Village on the grounds of seeking medical treatment and lived in the regent's palace, where he was cultivated by the regent.

"The regent has observed Jingyun. He is extremely smart, so he chose him as the crown prince. He wants to overthrow the prince and support Jingyun to ascend to the throne. I have a close relationship with Jingyun and will definitely do my best to help him, so he will recognize me. As a adopted son.”

Gu Huaizhi told the story of his relationship with the regent in a few words.

Su Wan was shocked. Is Gu Jingyun the queen's son? ? ?

In the book, Gu Jingyun is dead.

So Gu Huaizhi is useless to the regent?

Why did Gu Huaizhi let Ting Yuan die?

"Does the queen know?"

Gu Huaizhi shook his head: "The queen didn't go looking for her, so she didn't know about it."

The queen's first eldest son died of illness, and she didn't know there was something fishy. Later, when she was pregnant with Jing Yun, she discovered that fetal medicine had been dropped into the food. She didn't say anything about it, but secretly went to search and found out the truth about the death of the eldest son. , not because he died of illness, but because he was murdered.

In order to protect her second child, the queen teamed up with people around her to plan to steal the baby and turn it into a phoenix. When the real child was born, she would move out of the palace and get a stillborn child to pretend to be the queen's child.

After a hundred secrets, the news leaked out, and the wet nurse and Jing Yun were hunted down.

The queen did not know whether the child was alive or dead and did not dare to look for it.

There was a thought in my heart that as long as I didn't look for it, the child would definitely still be alive. If he finds it, even if he is alive, it will bring disaster to him.

The queen does not seek prosperity and wealth for her children, but only seeks safe growth.

After hearing this, Su Wan felt sad in her heart.

The person who could make the Queen so fearful of murdering her child was none other than Emperor Jing, right?

The queen's natal family was very powerful, and the Duke of Zhen was also her patron. The emperor's eldest son was young and very smart, so there was too much momentum to make him the prince. Whether he was the eldest son or the direct descendant, the prince would always be the emperor's eldest son. Is it inevitable that the country will fall by the wayside, and Emperor Jing will poison the tiger and eat the child?

Su Wan thought about the poison in Emperor Jing. The regent planned to wait for Emperor Jing to be poisoned, then take control of the government and promote Jing Yun to the throne.

"When are you going to tell the Queen?"

"Emperor Jing is seriously ill."

Su Wan took a deep breath, feeling too fucked up.

Gu Jingyun went from a golden pimple to a hot potato.

If Su Wan knew Gu Jingyun's life experience, he would not force Gu's mother to come to the capital.

"I'll think about it again. If it doesn't work, arrange for someone to escort my mother, second brother, and third sister back to Xinghua Village." Su Wan raised her hand and knocked on her forehead: "No, if we go to Beijing in a big way, I'm afraid we will already attract the attention of interested people. This Sending them back when the time comes will be self-defeating.”

"The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Some people are suspicious of the regent's aftermath, and there is no evidence to prove that Jing Yun is the prince." Gu Huaizhi rubbed his brow bones: "In one year at the latest, I will Please ask the teacher to accept Jingyun as a student. If he doesn’t show up in the academy, there is a high probability that he will not be recognized.”

Su Wan let out a breath and said angrily: "You recognize the regent as your adoptive father. You don't have to worry about your future. You can become an emperor's master at the worst in the future, so why do you need to take the imperial examination?" Su Wan gritted his teeth, Gu Huai He was so tight-lipped that the family lived a rough and tumble life, but he would never improve his life. He was too cautious.

Being careful can catch cicadas of thousands of years, and being careful can sail a ship of thousands of years.

Su Wan quite understood it, and she knew without even thinking that Gu Huaizhi had been walking on thin ice these past few years.

One wrong step and you're in danger of being doomed.

"The identity of the regent is a double-edged sword. He has overwhelming power and can cover the sky with one hand. But he also has many enemies, and what he wants to do is too eye-catching. The regent has gradually decomposed his power and transferred it to our hands. Jing Yunruo will one day inherit the throne. , the regent will succeed and retire. If I control the power of the regent, I am afraid that everyone will be watching my every move, which will be inconvenient. "

"As my adopted son, I will let him die of illness and turn the power of the regent from bright to dark." Gu Huaizhi smiled: "I use my identity as Gu Huaizhi to show others that I will not be too eye-catching. convenient."

Su Wan: "..."

Tangyuan with black sesame filling.

On the surface, he looks like a humble gentleman, gentle and harmless, but when he turns around, he can stab someone with a cold knife.

Who would doubt him?

He was just a peasant boy who became an official with some talent and learning.

Although the daughter-in-law came from a famous family, she severed ties with the family.

Maybe we can even break into the enemy camp!

Gu Huaizhi asked: "Do you still have any questions?"

Su Wan turned her head and looked at him. Gu Huaizhi was wearing a sky-blue gown. His black hair fell like a waterfall on his chest. His eyelids were lazily drooped. The sun shone on his outline, making him look particularly gentle and soft, tempting people to get closer. he.

She leaned towards him as if bewitched.

Gu Huaizhi had a faint smile on his lips, her eyes were dark and bright, her fair face was soft, like the Persian cat he had seen before, he stretched out his hand and fell on her neck, pinching her neck skin gently, a tingling sensation spread to her limbs and bones.

Su Wan was startled and woke up instantly, she leaned back and moved away from him.

"No."

Gu Huaizhi saw her avoid him, his deep eyes fell on his fingertips, as if the delicate and soft touch was still lingering.

Su Wan was distracted this day, covering her neck with her hand, wondering what she was thinking.

It was not until the evening that Su Wan recovered.

She quickly finished her dinner and took Qi Liu to the residence of the imperial physician Liu.

The carriage stopped in the alley next to the Liu residence, and Su Wan leaned against the wall of the carriage waiting for Luo Cheng.

"Knock knock--"

The wall of the carriage was knocked.

"Miss Su." Luo Cheng lowered his rough voice, which was particularly clear in the silent night.

Su Wan: "..."

Lifting the curtain, Su Wan got out of the carriage.

"Dr. Liu just returned home, let's go now." Luo Cheng urged.

"Let's go." Su Wan and Luo Cheng went to Liu's house.

After Dr. Liu greeted them, the two entered Liu's house smoothly, and the housekeeper personally led the two to the study.
