Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Gu Huan was happy to get the news she wanted to know. The heavy weight in her heart made her breathless for a moment. That Zheng Chunxiu was most likely not innocent. She should have been used as a knife in Li Wanyu's hand, and she was a few months old. Xiaoyu did something crazy, and she deserved to die, but it was an unreasonable disaster for the people of Hutian Village to be implicated by her.

More than a hundred lives...

She took a moment to calm down and said, "Don't tell anyone else what happened today."

"Yes, ma'am."

"At noon, go to the martial arts academy and tell the master about the rumors in the village and ask him how he wants to solve them."

Wei Liang agreed and left.

Gu Huanxi lost the leisurely feeling of reading and leaned on the soft couch in the study, thinking about things with half-squinted eyes until Gu Xiaoyu came back from school.

"mother!"

"Are you back? Are you tired from class today? Did you assign a lot of homework? Did Mr. Jiang talk about you?"

Almost every time there is such a conversation between mother and son, but every time they are still enjoyed, the people who ask the questions don't feel verbose, and the people who listen don't feel irritated.

No matter how worried he was, Gu Huanxi didn't rush to ask. It wasn't until after dinner that he turned away from the others and left him alone.

Gu Xiaoyu was a little surprised when he saw her serious expression, "Mom, what do you want?"

In fact, Gu Huanxi thought about hiding it before, but later, she felt that as Gu Xiaoyu's identity, he was destined to bear more in the future, and she should not do it for him under the banner of doing his best. What decisions interfere with his life and growth.

Besides, this matter is related to him, and he shouldn't stay out of it. Only by knowing more about it can he be more vigilant and nip it in the bud.

"Xiaoyu, do you still remember Li Yuan you met by chance on the day the temple opened in the village?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu's expression suddenly changed, "I can't forget it even if I want to, mother, but does he know I'm here?"

Gu Huanxi shook his head, "No, but he appeared here for no reason. It was always strange. Your father got interested and asked someone to help him check him. It was originally to prevent him from tracing your whereabouts. Who would have thought, The purpose of his coming to Hutian Village is not to run towards you..."

Gu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "Then what is he doing? My son remembers that he looked not quite right that day, as if he was afraid of being discovered, or he seemed to be looking for something secretly."

Gu Huanxi said in a complicated tone, "He actually has a guilty conscience. There were bad rumors in Hutian Village before, and no one came close to it, and no one paid attention to it. But then we moved in, and the days got better and better, and everywhere was prosperous. , the reputation became louder and louder, and more and more people came and went, so he couldn't sit still, and he came here specifically to find out what happened that day. "

Gu Xiaoyu is smart and can tell clearly, "What did he do to harm Hutian Village? Is it related to the plague six years ago?"

Gu Huanxi nodded, "In the beginning, it was he and Changlehou's subordinates who led people to surround the village. In the name of the plague, the villagers were not allowed to go out to seek medical treatment until they all died of the poison."

"Did it turn out to be poisoning?"

"It's not certain yet, but I'm sure it's not a plague. Dr. Jiao had also suspected this before. The symptoms of the villagers were similar to the plague, but there was no strong evidence. Later, my mother asked people to find Hu The village chief inquired and found that many of the survivors had come into contact with those villagers who were sick, but they were not infected afterwards. "

The more Gu Xiaoyu listened, the more frightened he became, "Then why did Li Yuan and the Changlehou Mansion seal off the village with the plague, causing so many villagers to get sick and die? Is it to silence them?"

Gu Huanxi said a difficult "hmm".

"What are you trying to kill?" At this moment, Gu Xiaoyu vaguely guessed something, "Is it related to me?"

Gu Huanxi took his hand, put it in the palm of his hand and held it gently, "It may have something to do with you, but the sins of more than a hundred people were caused by the Changle Marquis Mansion and Li Yuan, and they should bear the responsibility. , you are also a victim, you just escaped by chance. "

"mother……"

"Mom is not excusing you, but you have the right to blame and the creditor to blame. It is not your own responsibility, so don't take it all on yourself. That is not wise, that is stupid. You can feel guilty for this. After all, things are indeed due to reasons. You get up, but don’t blame yourself too much.”

Gu Xiaoyu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the fragility and pain just now had disappeared, and only determination remained, "My son understands that last year, my uncle's people escorted me out of the capital, and I encountered several groups of pursuers along the way. Kill, waves of people died because of me. I watched them fall in pain with my own eyes, but I couldn't do anything. In my dreams at night, the ground was covered with blood. At that time, I was also very guilty, self-blame, angry and painful..."

"I hate the Changlehou Mansion so much. If it weren't for them, there wouldn't be so many people dying for me, and I wouldn't be in pain. I even want to give up. I might as well fulfill those people's wishes. In this way, No more people will die."

"But my uncle said, if I do that, the people who died for me will not be able to rest in peace. I want to make their death worthwhile. I want to live well and avenge them. Only by living can I be able to do anything in the future." Protect more people from dying. From then on, I knew that my life was no longer just mine. It was bought with the blood of countless people."

"So, mother, you don't have to worry about me. I won't be overwhelmed with thoughts and fall into useless guilt and self-blame. I will only try to find a way to seek justice for them so that their death will not be in vain."

Gu Huanxi was so excited when he heard this that he couldn't help but hug him into his arms and silently patted his thin back. The child was only six years old, but he had already been burdened with such a heavy responsibility.

She is also glad that he is not like some royal people who regard those who protect them as ants, and it is natural for him to die for him. He does not feel guilty or self-blame at all. Even if he implements benevolent policies, he may not take the people seriously. .

But Gu Xiaoyu is obviously an exception.

If such a person sits on that chair, the whole world will be blessed.

"Xiaoyu, you must be in your position, pursue your political goals, and be a good monarch in the future. Then, only those who die for you will have a valuable and meaningful death. Do you understand?"

Gu Xiaoyu nodded solemnly.

Gu Huanxi let him go, raised his hand and touched his head, and asked softly, "Xiaoyu, did anything bad happen when you were born?"

Gu Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "Yes, later I heard from the nanny who took care of me that when I was more than two months old, I fell ill and almost died..."

"Then do you know what illness you were suffering from at that time?"

"I asked my mother specifically later, but she seemed to be very taboo about mentioning it. She only said that she was allergic to something. The onset of the disease seemed dangerous, but as long as she avoided contact with those things in the future, she would not get sick again. But I I didn’t believe it, but I later overheard what my grandma said and found out the truth.”

"What truth?"

"The symptoms I had at that time were similar to those of smallpox. The doctor in the mansion also diagnosed it as smallpox. He was worried that if the news spread, it would have a bad impact on the mansion and me, so he hid it and only prescribed medicine for me. Drink, you also know, how can smallpox be cured? If you survive, you will live, if you cannot survive, you will die..."

Gu Huanxi frowned upon hearing this, "Where are your father and mother? If such a big thing happens, a doctor will make the decision?"

Gu Xiaoyu smiled mockingly, "At that time, my father happened to be away from the capital. My father liked elegant things. I didn't know where I heard that there was a master of piano playing in Yizhou Prefecture. He could play the piano for three days without stopping. Jue, I went to listen to it in person. It took me ten days to go back and forth, and my mother has not been in good health since she gave birth to me. She spent most of her time in bed and rested. Concubine Li is in charge. She is good at winning people's hearts. The servants in the front and back yards all obey her orders. Even my father is not as effective as her words..."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi didn't know what to say for a moment. She just felt that the eldest prince was really useless. If she had such a husband, she wouldn't be able to beat him three times a day. What's the use?

My daughter-in-law is still ill and my son is only two months old. He still has the leisure to go out and listen to the piano. It’s really crazy.

She wanted to curse, but after all, he was Xiaoyu's biological father, so she endured it, "So, the whole house is controlled by Concubine Li, so the news of your illness cannot spread, and the plague was used to cover it up, and the doctor was also bribed Right?"

Gu Xiaoyu nodded, "It should be, but then the doctor disappeared and I couldn't find anyone even if I tried to find him. My mother didn't believe that what I got was smallpox, so she wanted Concubine Li to send someone to Tai Hospital to invite the hospital envoy. Li The concubine did not refuse, but the person sent came back and said that the envoy could not be found at all..."

This is blocking the road. "What happened next?"

"I should not die, so I caught up with my uncle to visit my mother at home. He was worried about my mother's health, so he invited a doctor with good medical skills from outside to see my mother. My mother asked him to look at me first. Only then did I realize that what I had was not smallpox at all, but poison."

"So, can the poison be cured?"

"Well, the poison has a slow onset. Symptoms will only appear in about three days after taking it. But once the symptoms appear, if the poison is not detoxified in time, it can last up to twelve hours before death." At this point, Gu A fierce look flashed in Xiaoyu's eyes, "If uncle goes an hour later, I will be hopeless."

"If one survives, there will be future fortunes."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu shook his head, "There is no future blessing. I got over it, but since then, my health has not been good, and I am always sick intermittently. Few people outside know me, it is because of me I rarely go out and spend most of my time in my own yard. After three years of raising me like this, I was barely getting better. However, during that time, my mother watched me day and night and was worried. It was because I was born with a weak body. From then on, it became worse. It’s getting worse and worse, even if I keep taking the medicine, I won’t be able to hold on for long…”

Gu Huanxi couldn't help but ask, "Where is your father? Didn't he investigate after the incident? Didn't he give you and your mother an explanation?"

Gu Xiaoyu said sternly, "He checked, but the doctor in the palace has long been unable to find anyone to hold Concubine Li accountable. She also has good reasons. It's not that she didn't care, the hospital envoy sent someone to invite her. It’s just that no one was invited. As for how she was poisoned, it had nothing to do with her. It was later found out that it was the nanny who took care of me. But that nanny was found by my mother. After what happened, she went to the wall to apologize. "

"You didn't reveal anything before you died?"

"It's just that she was temporarily confused. I'm sorry for our mother and son."

"That's it? Can your father believe it? He didn't continue to dig out the murderer behind it?"

"I followed the wet nurse's clues, but found nothing."

Gu Huanxi laughed angrily, "How is it possible that nothing can be found? There are so many flaws in this matter. If you pick just one, you can find some problems. Like your father, he didn't leave early and he didn't leave until later. Why did he go at that time? Yizhou? Who instigated him? Isn't this suspicious? And the envoy of Zhou Yuan, why can't he find someone? There must be some arrangements, and the doctor can escape, but he can't escape from the temple. Check his social circle to see who he associates with, who he has favored, and who recommended him to the house. Aren't these all clues? "

"The most unusual thing is the wet nurse who was killed by a head-on collision. She had no grievances with you mother and son. Why did she harm you so well? You have to have a motive to harm others. Go check her home. Is she being coerced or getting benefits? , there will always be clues left behind, oh, and Zheng Chunxiu, she was a person close to Concubine Li. She received a reward and died a few days after returning to the village. She died because of the plague. If others don’t doubt it, your father No idea?"

Question after word, sentence after sentence, Gu Xiaoyu's face turned pale and his fists tightened unconsciously.

Gu Huanxi was so angry just now that he forgot about it for a moment. Now he finally realized it slowly. Even if the eldest prince was too stupid to find out the truth at the time, he should have found out later. Otherwise, how could he let Gu Xiaoyu's uncle bring him to justice? What did he take away?

It must be because there are many dangers in the eldest prince's mansion, and he can't protect Xiaoyu if he stays, so he can only make this move.

She hugged him into her arms again in distress, without saying a word. At this moment, she did not need her comfort, because any words of comfort could not change anything, and she could only wait for him to digest it.

It wasn't until Wei Ci came to tell them that the meal was ready that the mother and son left the study with calm expressions.

After dinner, Wei Liang came back and brought back Xu Huaiyi's instructions, "The master said that he has never done it. It is the Xu family who is slandering and ruining his reputation. I asked my servant to ask Village Chief Xu and Mr. Xu to stop him."

Gu Huanxi said, "Then just do as the master said. Don't go empty-handed. Let Wei Ci go to the warehouse at the back and prepare two gifts to take with you so that you can talk."

"Yes, ma'am."

Gu Huanxi then took out a few more banknotes and handed them to him, "And this, part of it will be donated to the village temple in the name of the people on the list, and the other part will be taken to the Huguo Temple to invite the monks there. Then light a bright lamp for them.”

Wei Liang responded respectfully.

After he left, Gu Huanxi turned to Gu Xiaoyu and said, "From now on, the Nianghui will donate money to the temple in their name every year to accumulate merit for them. The ever-light lantern will always be lit to pray for them and everyone can vote. If you have a good pregnancy, you won’t have to suffer in the next life, you will have many children and grandchildren, and you will die in good health.”

Gu Xiaoyu endured the sourness that welled up in his eyes and forced out a smile, "Thank you, mother. I will do it after my son can make money."

"Okay, Mom is waiting, but the matter of seeking justice cannot be rushed. We have to find a suitable opportunity. You can't show up for the time being. Your father and I will watch and deal with it, okay?"

"Row……"
