Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Ten minutes later, the couple sat on the sofa, heads touching, eating wonton stew with chicken soup as the base, sprinkled with dried shrimps and seaweed, which tasted extremely delicious.

Gu Huanxi hadn't eaten since last night and hadn't felt hungry before, but now she finally had some appetite. Especially since Xu Huaiyi across from her was wolfing down his food like a food blogger, the food smelled so good that she was infected and followed suit and ate a lot.

With food in my stomach, my mind seemed to settle.

Xu Huaiyi ate two full bowls of food, wiped his mouth comfortably, and began to tell her about the assassination last night. "There are not many people this time, but the weapons and equipment have been upgraded. They are even equipped with gunpowder. I have gunpowder because I know how to make it, but where did the assassins come from? The court controls these things strictly. This is another mistake made by the Military Equipment Bureau.

Last time I directed and acted in the palace, the court conducted a strict investigation and actually caught a few dishonest people. But now it seems that killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was of no use, and the criminals are still guilty.

When I return to Beijing, Caishikou will be crowded with people again.

Alas, tell me, why do those people have to do this to commit suicide instead of living a good life?

Is the throne so attractive? "

After listening to this, Gu Huanxi asked, "Do you think this group of assassins was sent by the King of Qin? Do you have any evidence?"

Xu Huaiyi said with a complicated expression, "There is no evidence. These assassins are not the kind of killers hired by Hu Changhe who are paid to do the job. These people are dead men. Once the mission fails, they will commit suicide by taking poison. There is no way to pry open their mouths. But I think it should be the King of Qin. Who else could it be?

The King of Chu doesn't have many people left, and it's not worth sacrificing his entire family fortune just to kill the King of Qi.

I don't think the other princes have the strength or the courage to do this. Besides, with the Prince of Qin, the legitimate son, in front of them, it will never be their turn. Why bother to get involved in this muddy water?

Besides, the King of Qin has a motive."

Gu Huanxi frowned, "Have you told the King of Qi about it?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head. "How can I talk nonsense when there is no evidence? I don't want to get involved in these royal family affairs. The King of Qi is not stupid. He can probably guess a little bit. These days, he is almost depressed..."

“Who wouldn’t be depressed?”

"Humph, I was assassinated by Meng Yao's men more than a dozen times before. Am I depressed? This is only the first time he has been assassinated. He is depressed just after getting enough slaps. When he ascends the throne to become the emperor, won't he be suspicious every day?"

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, then asked, "How long will it take you to get to the capital?"

Xu Huaiyi said irritably, "If everything goes smoothly, we can get there in seven or eight days. But if someone comes out to block our way, it will be hard to say. Every time we fight, we will get injured. It will take at least two or three days to rescue and rest. Damn, there were more than a thousand people before, and they were all selected elites. It would be good if I could have 500 left in the end."

"So many casualties?"

"Well, those people are fighting desperately. If our people don't fight hard with them, the King of Qi will not survive."

Gu Huanxi sighed, "The throne was taken by stepping on the bones and blood of countless people, as expected."

Xu Huaiyi said, "I hope the King of Qi can learn his lesson and pass the throne to Xiaoyu without hesitation. Don't be indecisive and create unnecessary fights and killings."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi's expression froze.

Xu Huaiyi didn't notice, he stretched, stood up and walked to the bed, muttering, "I'm so tired, I have to lie down and take a nap. If I keep staying up late like this, I'll definitely become bald at an early age. Eh? Why is our daughter here?"

He came in to take a shower and eat, but he didn't realize it until now.

Moreover, his voice was so loud just now, but his daughter was not woken up?

He gradually realized that something was wrong, and turned to Gu Huanxi nervously and asked, "What happened to Ah Li? Are you sick?"

Gu Huanxi sighed, "No, Ah Li went to bed a little late last night, and drank the tranquilizing soup prescribed by Doctor Jiao, so she slept so deeply. Don't call her, let her sleep a little longer."

Xu Huaiyi touched his daughter's forehead worriedly, and tucked the quilt in for her. Then he tiptoed back to the sofa and asked in a low voice, "Why did my daughter go to bed late? And she even drank the tranquilizing soup. What happened?"

"I told you, don't get excited..."

"Don't worry, I've seen a lot of things. I won't get excited..."

Gu Huanxi said with a sad expression, "Our little fish is gone."

Xu Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, and asked in bewilderment, "Gone? What does gone mean? Lost? Kidnapped?"

Gu Huanxi shook his head and smiled sadly, "He was so smart, how could he get lost? Who could have kidnapped him? He is dead. From now on, we will no longer have a son named Gu Xiaoyu..."

"What did you say?" Xu Huaiyi's face changed drastically, and he couldn't control his voice, which suddenly rose, "Dead? How did he die?"

If you listen carefully, you can hear the trembling and panic in his voice.

Gu Huanxi quickly said, "Calm down. Didn't you say you wouldn't get excited? I haven't finished speaking yet. What are you yelling about?"

Xu Huaiyi took a deep breath and tried his best to control his emotions. "Okay, I won't get excited. Tell me, what's going on?"

Gu Huanxi said in a complicated tone, "Gu Xiaoyu is dead, but Yuan Jin will be able to return to Prince Qi's Mansion soon. We have lost a son, and Prince Qi's Mansion is welcoming the eldest son. Do you understand now?"

Xu Huaiyi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He raised his hand to wipe his face and asked with a strange expression, "Wife, is this the fake death and escape drama you arranged? It sounds good, but isn't it difficult to execute? Why didn't you discuss it with me before? This is too sudden. There are no loopholes left in the process, right? If there are loopholes, they must be fixed quickly. This kind of thing can't be joked about. If you go wrong, there will be no way to end it..."

Gu Huanxi glared at him angrily, "Am I that unreliable? Would I make a decision on such a big matter by myself?"

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi smiled ingratiatingly and said a few words to comfort him, then asked, "Who planned this?"

Gu Huanxi snorted, "Han Jun."

"What? It's him?" Xu Huaiyi was shocked at first, but then he was not so surprised anymore. "He is Xiaoyu's uncle. It's his job to worry about this matter."

Gu Huanxi is still upset. "But he shouldn't have kept it from us. He didn't say anything beforehand. The big show started right away. Who could bear it? The people he arranged kidnapped Xiaoyu in front of the children. After the other three came back, they cried so hard that they were out of breath. They won't be able to recover in a short time. Ah Li was so upset that she couldn't sleep because of this. I had to give her some nighttime soup. Her eyes were swollen from crying..."

Xu Huaiyi initially thought that Han Jun had done a good job and helped them solve a big problem. He would thank him later. But now his brows furrowed as he listened. "What about you? Were you scared at that time?"

Gu Huanxi laughed at himself, "More than scared, it was like being struck by lightning. I thought I was strong, but when something really happened, I was still vulnerable. When I heard the news that Xiaoyu was burned to ashes, I couldn't handle it and fainted. Doctor Jiao said that I was mentally injured..."

"What?" Xu Huaiyi felt distressed after hearing this. His expression turned ferocious and he cursed angrily, "Han Jun is too much. How can he do things like that? Even if he has good intentions, he can't harm others like this? If anything happens to you and the child, can he afford the compensation?

Damn it, he had to do it when I was not at home. Who was he guarding against?

Are you afraid that I will fight with him?

The monk can run away but the temple cannot. When I go back, I will beat him to death.

That's not how it's done!

I'm risking my life outside to protect the King of Qi, but he's at home torturing my wife and daughter?

If I can't get over this, I'll take his last name!"

After Gu Huanxi heard him scold her, she felt strangely relieved. She even advised him, "Okay, don't think about beating him up. He got stabbed several times for acting so realistically. Now he has trouble even getting up."

"How can they be the same? Others chop for their own good, and I beat for my own good. The meanings are different."

"Okay, okay, you can beat me up if you want, I won't stop you."

After saying this, the couple fell silent for a while.

After a while, Xu Huaiyi said gloomily, "Xiaoyu, will you have nothing to do with us from now on?"

Gu Huanxi said “hmm”. She was now much calmer than before. “This is good for everyone.”

Xu Huaiyi raised his eyes to look at her, "So what do you think?"

Gu Huanxi didn't answer directly, but said calmly, "You'll get used to it slowly. At the beginning, it will always take a few days to adapt."

Xu Huaiyi leaned back on the sofa in frustration and pounded his chest. "But why do I feel bad? It's so stuffy here, and no matter how I try to relieve myself psychologically, I still don't feel comfortable."

"Xiaoyu just returned to his original home. He is not really gone. If you want to see him in the future, you can still see him..."

"I know, but I just feel unhappy. We raised our son with so much effort, and now he's gone just like that? Why?"

Gu Huanxi reluctantly reminded, "Of course the King of Qi is Xiaoyu's biological father. We are just his adoptive parents. We worked hard for three years, and they worked hard for five years. We can't just raise him and not pay him back, right?"

Xu Huaiyi said with an unhappy face, "You didn't say you wouldn't return it? But at least give us a buffer? You took it back just like that. Have you considered our feelings? If someone is psychologically fragile, they might be so depressed that they will be in so much pain. Who can take this responsibility?"

Also, why did they just take the person away without saying anything, without any explanation or explanation? That person was a living person. How did Han Jun do it?

Damn it, why am I still working here for the King of Qi? I don’t care if he lives or dies, I’ll just go home and beat him up first! "

As he spoke, he started cursing again in an emotional state.

Seeing that he didn't speak in anger and seemed to be really ready to quit, Gu Huanxi quickly advised, "Calm down. I haven't even written to you yet, so how do you know that Xiaoyu is in trouble? You left the King of Qi and returned to the capital now. Do you think our family won't die soon enough?"

"I……"

"Calm down!"

After being scolded a few times, Xu Huaiyi became obedient. He just had a sullen face and lowered his head, as if he was mad at someone.

Gu Huanxi had to speak well of Han Jun, "Try to think positively. Although what Han Jun did was indeed inappropriate, it helped us solve a big problem after all. His original intention was good, but his method was too rough and violent.

But I have to say, by doing this, the reaction is real and can deceive everyone, and we won’t have any worries in the future.

Where there is gain there is loss, how can you have the best of both worlds?

We can't have this, this, and more. What kind of people would we be then?

There is no reason to put down your job and curse your mother.

Moreover, Han Jun did give me an explanation. He thanked me and promised to go through fire and water for me, but I was angry at the time and ignored him.

Later, when the King of Qi learns the truth, as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely compensate you accordingly.

So let it be. If you don't want to be cheerful, you're just asking for trouble. Xiaoyu is fine anyway, so he should just enjoy himself and pursue a better future. From another perspective, we should be happy for him. Didn't we also fantasize about this day before?

It's good to have it come unexpectedly like this, so I don't have to worry so much."

After listening to this, Xu Huaiyi suddenly stood up and walked over. After hugging her in his arms, he gently patted her back and whispered, "Actually, I'm fine. I just feel a little sorry for you and am afraid that you can't get over it. If you can think it through and let it go, I won't feel bad at all."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi was stunned, and then her nose felt sore again. She leaned on his shoulder, holding back the tears in her eyes, and asked in a muffled voice, "Are you really not feeling bad?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled cheerfully, "What's so sad about that? Xiaoyu just doesn't live in our house anymore. Will he really cut off all family ties and connections with us in the future? If he is really so heartless, then we don't need to feel sad for him."

"But you don't have a son..."

"Tsk, so what? It's enough for us to have a daughter. No one will compete with a daughter for property. If you want a son, that's easy too. Let Doctor Jiao take a look at you. If there's nothing wrong with his body, we can try to have another one in a few years when Ah Li is older. Someone else's is someone else's after all. No matter how hard we raise them, they can't be our own. Our own children, no one can take them away."

At this moment, Gu Huanxi was really moved by these words, and she wanted to have another child. It would be fine to have a son or a daughter. In this way, she could fill the void in her heart, right?

"When you come back, we'll be ready."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

"What about my daughter? Should I tell her about Xiaoyu?"

"No one else knows, right?"

"Well, at present, only the two of us, Han Jun, and in the future, the King of Qi, know the truth."

Xu Huaiyi pondered, "It's safer the fewer people who know the secret, but isn't it too cruel to hide it from my daughter? She has a deep relationship with Xiaoyu. Although children forget things quickly, she will still feel uncomfortable for a long time..."

Seeing him struggling, Gu Huanxi pondered and said, "Then just tell it. Ah Li is precocious and can keep things secret. Didn't she keep the secret of our RV very well?"

Xu Huaiyi thought about it again, and finally nodded, "Okay, let's say..."

After that, she grumbled with some reluctance, "It's better not to say anything. I'll forget about that boy sooner rather than later, so as not to delay the recruitment of a son-in-law. That boy has bad intentions. Every member of the royal family is a wolf cub. If he gets his eyes on them, will I have to let my daughter enter the palace in the future? I strongly disagree, and you can't give in."

Gu Huanxi, "..."

Listen, where has he taken the topic off track?
