Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

However, before the emperor could bring Prince Shen to the capital, Prince Shen and his wife committed suicide in Prince Shen's mansion and burned down the entire mansion. The charred body of their only son was also found, and the matter was left unresolved.

"Then the Su family..." Gu Yue asked. His daughter was involved in a rebellion, so this family didn't make any moves?

"In the face of the survival of the entire family, what does family affection mean?" Su Yingjian looked a little depressed. "Obviously, this is a conspiracy against Prince Shen and the Su family. Given how much our family values ​​my aunt, grandpa will definitely write a letter to plead for mercy or investigate. Once he does this, the emperor will have hundreds of excuses to drag the Su family into the water."

Gu Yue was silent.

Su Yingjian had a complicated expression: "At that time, my uncle ignored filial piety and locked up my grandfather for several months, which prevented the Su family from getting involved in this matter. The emperor couldn't find a reason to make trouble, so he dismissed several uncles from their positions and suppressed the imperial examination rankings of my two brothers. But fortunately, he survived."

Gu Yue...Gu Yue finds it difficult to comment.

Everyone had legitimate reasons to explain their choices, and no one did anything wrong. The Su family was afraid that the whole family would be implicated; the emperor was afraid that his family would be too powerful, so he used some imperial tactics.

But it was Gu Xu who had to bear the consequences.

Resentment?

Gu Yue secretly looked at Gu Xu's expression. He looked so calm that it was a little scary, as if he was listening to someone else's insignificant story, but Gu Yue felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He pretended to put his hands on his knees and held Gu Xu's hand under the table.

Gu Xu glanced at him and smiled a little.

Gu Yue became even more upset.

From the perspective of a reader and a bystander, no one is wrong. Whether the emperor wants to suppress the Su family or the Su family wants to protect themselves, there seems to be nothing wrong, but Gu Yue knows that this is not the case.

He is a human being. People always have a stance based on their own preferences and interests.

There was no need to find excuses for someone's behavior, nor to analyze other people's psychological activities. Gu Yue only knew that the person he cared about was Gu Xu, not Bei Qin, nor the stability of the rule, or the prosperity of the family.

He has a position, and that position is Gu Xu.

Gu Yue suddenly understood what the Taoist priest said.

He was not accepted in this "world of fiction" and was isolated and outside the whole story. He looked at everything from God's perspective and was a person without a stance.

It shouldn’t be the case now, right?

Be it revenge, tracing one's roots, taking sides, or simply being a free and easy wanderer, he listens to Gu Xu.

So what if he is the crown prince? The son of the dog emperor may not be much better. Why do we have to support him?

Gu Yue admitted that he had been encouraging Gu Xu to get along with the prince just so that things would develop according to the original plot and he could feel more relaxed and at ease.

Gu Yue calmed down and asked, "From what you said, the rebellion of Prince Shen was an unjust case?"

"Of course it's a wrongful case." Su Yingjian said.

"What's the reason?" Gu Yue needed this reason to make them sure that Prince Shen had not rebelled. "Intuition cannot be used as evidence."

It was Luo Dao who spoke: "My fellow senior brother used to be Su Huaiyue's secret guard."

"What?!" Gu Yue was shocked.

Who is Su Huaiyue? Why does he have secret guards?

"So, where is your senior brother?" Gu Yue asked, "No, no, is your senior brother only a secret guard for Su Huaiyue, or for both of them?"

It is very important to know who a person belongs to.

"My fellow disciple. I am in the Su family. It's easy to guess, right? Of course, it must be Su Huaiyue's own people." Luo Dao said, "I can't tell you more details."

"No, what about the others? And why is this evidence that they did not commit treason?" Gu Yue was confused.

"His duty was not to protect Su Huaiyue, but he was sent by Su Huaiyue to protect Gu Shen." Luo Dao said, "We had correspondence a few years ago, and he said so in the letter."

"But this doesn't prove that they didn't commit treason." Gu Yue asked, "Why are you so sure?"

"After the incident happened, Mr. Su received a letter signed by Su Huaiyue, saying that someone had framed her and requesting the Su family to help with everything they could to prove the innocence of Prince Shen's Mansion. After reading the letter, Mr. Su insisted on going to see the emperor and investigate the matter, but was stopped by Su Muying." Luo Dao said.

Su Yingjian continued, "However, this brother who fell from the sword brought back another letter, which was still in my aunt's handwriting. It said that someone in the Shen Palace had set up a trap for the Gu and Su families, and told Grandpa not to act rashly."

Two letters?

"Was this second letter brought back by that person personally?" Gu Xu asked.

"Yes, but he didn't explain the details. He just said he had something important to do and left." Luo Dao said, "There has been no news since then."

Missing again! And that...

"Is your senior brother called Zhou Qiong?" Gu Yue asked.

"No. But I did hear him talk about Zhou Qiong. He seems to be someone who works with Gu Shen. He should know more details." Luo Dao said.

Gu Yue's bad premonition was brought up again.

Perhaps all those who knew what happened were killed by the emperor.

"Why are you sure this was the work of the late emperor?" Gu Yue asked, "Is it possible that someone else could have done this?"

"Yes, there is, but it involves a mine. If it was a mine owned by some other force, how could they be handed over to the late emperor like this? Just the embezzlement of disaster relief funds and the so-called evidence found later are enough to convict him." Su Yingjian said.

"Or a lineage that directly benefits, such as the former crown prince whose position as crown prince was secure at the time." Gu Xu said calmly.

"…So you…"

He didn't know to what extent Gu Xu had investigated his background, but now it seemed that his choice not to go along with Qin Zhaoyue was the right one.

Gu Yue no longer sighs, "This is different from the original text!" There are too many changes to complain about.

Maybe this is some kind of IF line?

The kind that their fangirl sisters like very much... the IF line of Prince Gu Xu BE...

But this is too much of a change. Gu Xu's background was not mentioned at all in the original text. Logically speaking, his background should not be very important information.

"Please tell me the detailed information of the secret guard. We need to find him." Gu Yue said.

"You want to..." Su Yingjian paused.

Gu Xu said: "No matter what you think, first find out what happened back then."

Luo Dao nodded: "In our sect, we don't use real names, we only call people by code names. His name is Fu Dao, and he is about thirty years old this year."

"Does your sect all use swords?" Gu Yue asked.

"Yes. The sword technique we use is very special. Although we will make changes according to our own habits when fighting the enemy, the people in the sect will be able to tell it apart immediately if they fight against us."
