The traitor has a white moonlight

Chapter 123 Zhao Yi's Death

Gu Zhao didn't expect that Gu Huaisheng would ask such a hypothetical question, and he was immediately confused by the question.At first, he thought it was the child's quarrel, but when he raised his eyes and saw Gu Huaisheng's serious expression that was almost stubborn, he fell silent.

Gu Huaisheng was not joking or being awkward, he was serious.

Realizing this, Gu Zhao had to take it seriously, he smiled: "Nothing happened..."

"I said, if." Gu Huaisheng interrupted Gu Zhao: "What should you do?"

Gu Zhao was still puzzled. To be cautious, he didn't answer right away: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this, or did you say..."

"Just answer me." Gu Huaisheng interrupted Gu Zhao again, with disappointment in his eyes: "Is this question so difficult for you to answer?"

Gu Zhao looked at Gu Huaisheng quietly for a moment, then sighed: "Brother Sheng, you must know that I am the Gu family first, and your father second, Yu Da, my Gu family collapsed, I am ashamed of my ancestors, Yu Xiao, as a father, even if his body is broken, he will definitely protect his children, this is human nature and instinct."

"Really?" Gu Huaisheng was in a trance for a moment. He really wanted to say, if this is the case, what were you doing in the previous life, but he didn't, because he knew that there would never be an answer to this question, so he twitched the corners of his mouth, and then answered He drank the wine glass in one gulp: "Then what are your plans next?"

"Xiao Jiu..." Glancing at Gu Huaisheng, Gu Zhao hurriedly changed his words: "King Zhao is running out of time, I, I want to accompany him through this final journey."

Gu Huaisheng stopped pouring the wine, then slowly raised his head to look at Gu Zhao.

The expression on Gu Zhao's face was quite calm, and he couldn't see much sadness, but the flash of pain in his eyes betrayed him.

"It's all the root of the disease that fell in the early years. His body has been hollowed out long ago. He could live a few more years with careful care, but he has blood and deep hatred in his heart. Not only did he not take good care of him, but he became a Zen man." I've been thinking about it, and I've been overdrawing my body." Gu Zhao wanted to hold the wine glass, but stretched out his hand, and shrank it back under the table tremblingly: "After seeing you, he fell ill, and the doctor showed him that the time limit has come. , at most three months to live."

Seeing the pain in Gu Zhao's eyes that he was trying to suppress, Gu Huaisheng couldn't help but twitch in his heart, but he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Gu Zhao didn't notice Gu Huaisheng's reaction, he was immersed in his own thoughts and froze for a while: "That's fine, continue to live like this, death is actually a kind of relief, his life is too tiring , too bitter."

Gu Huaisheng hesitated for a while, but still asked: "Is his brain not right?" He raised his hand and tapped his temples: "I feel that he is talking incoherently, incoherently."

Gu Huaisheng asked cautiously, afraid of breaking Gu Zhao's taboo, but Gu Zhao didn't mind, but nodded: "He didn't do this before, it was later... Especially a while ago, he should also know that he is not in good health Worried about not being able to survive the big revenge, his temper is very irritable and unstable, sometimes even paranoid and almost neurotic." Having said this, Gu Zhao fell silent, and it took a long time before he looked at Gu Huaisheng, his eyes were sore and Guilt intertwined: "As a father, I'm sorry to the three of you brothers. I didn't fulfill the responsibility of a father and the head of the family, and caused your brothers to suffer. These years have not been easy for you. The Gu family is also thanks to you and your elder brother. I... I also I don't have the face to ask you to forgive, don't say I won't forgive, even if you hate me, you should."

"What do we hate you for?" Gu Huaisheng shook his head, and put the jug aside: "Right and wrong are nothing but good fortune after all, you are alive, it's better than anything else, nothing else matters."

As soon as Gu Huaisheng said this, Gu Zhao became agitated, with disbelief on his face: "Brother Sheng, you..."

"Father, your place is too inconvenient. If you don't mind, please take someone home. I will tell them about the elder brother and third younger brother." Gu Huaisheng picked up the wine glass, looked down at the liquid and tumbled The corner of the mouth: "Life is too short, just follow your heart, why do you need to be more serious... This truth, I should have understood a long time ago, has always been on the edge of a dead end."

Gu Zhao was in a turbulent mood, looking at Gu Huaisheng who was drinking, his eyes turned red.Before coming here, he only wanted to take a sneak peek, but he didn't expect that Gu Huaisheng would be relieved so quickly, let alone that he would accept Xiao Jiu, and even proposed to take him home, but...

Gu Zhao was moved but moved, but considering some problems, he shook his head and refused: "Xiao Jiu has a bad temper, but he loves to be pure. His biggest wish is to go to the Buddha Temple with me and give him the emperor's elder brother and mother Kowtow to the imperial concubine's tablet and put incense on it, after that, we may live in the temple, I hope the gods bless, the incense will wash away the dirt, and he will return to his well-being in the next life."

Gu Zhao was sincere, but Gu Huaisheng's teeth were sore for a while, and he nodded with a complicated mood.

Not wanting to continue this topic that made the father and son uncomfortable, Gu Zhao took the initiative to ask something else: "Don't talk about me, but you, what do you plan, really want to..." After a pause, he continued: "Wait When King Xie ascends the throne, he is the king of a country, and it is his responsibility to spread branches and leaves for the royal family, and there will be no fewer concubines in the harem, so what will you do at that time?"

"Zhao Yue has no intention of taking the throne." Mentioning Zhao Yue, Gu Huaisheng was shocked to realize that he had drunk several glasses of wine without paying attention, and quickly pushed the wine glass and jug aside guiltily, and ate peanuts with chopsticks: "If not, He won’t be hesitant to take the throne until now, and those old fellows in the cabinet won’t be so anxious to block people everywhere.”

"Oh?" Gu Zhao was taken aback when he heard this: "But besides him, who else can be on the throne?"

Gu Huaisheng raised his shoulders: "I don't know, he has his own plans in his heart, so I don't need to worry about it." Having said that, thinking about the incident of being blocked by the Ministry of Officials before, he still couldn't help frowning: "But having said that, those few in the cabinet Although the old man is a little old-fashioned and pedantic, but anyway, the Xiao Xue family is no longer here, otherwise everything will be disturbed, and he will not be so honest, chasing after someone to become the throne."

"The cabinet ministers headed by Mr. Zhang have always followed the crown prince's lead. I was a little worried at first, but now it seems that my worry is unnecessary." Gu Zhao said.

"The prince hall is all old and stubborn, and they talk about the country and the country all day long. It's no wonder that the combination of the cobblers back then was not the opponent of the Xiao and Xue families." Mentioning the cabinet, Gu Huaisheng squinted his eyes: "They can do it for the so-called right now." Sheji pursued Zhao Yue's ascension to the throne, and would kidnap him and force him to do something against his will in the future. So, don't say that he has no intention of the throne, even if he intends to, he will never let them lead him by the nose Walk."

Gu Zhao also knew this, so after Gu Huaisheng finished speaking, he nodded.

When the sky was dark, the father and son left the restaurant. After talking about everything that should be said, the atmosphere was much more harmonious than when they entered.But the two didn't go together again, Gu Zhao had to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and Gu Huaisheng got into the carriage and went straight back to the palace.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he heard the news that Zhao Yi died of poisoning, Gu Huaisheng just smiled.

"The Clan Mansion specially sent someone to deliver the news to Mr. Gu, but Mr. Gu doesn't seem to be surprised?" the maid who was serving nearby said.

"What's so unexpected?" Gu Huaisheng shook his head: "It's my life or death, what does that have to do with me? Does King Xie know?"

"I know, and I also sent the news to King Xie." In fact, the maid felt that the Clan Mansion's handling of this matter was quite confusing. The third prince died of poisoning, so he could report it directly to King Xie, and specially asked someone to come What is the intention of tipping off the news here?That's why she served her closely, knowing that the relationship between the two is good, there is nothing to say, otherwise she would think that this is because Mr. Gu has ulterior motives!

Gu Huaisheng nodded when he heard the words, and turned the matter over without asking. As for Zhao Yi's funeral arrangements, it was not up to him.

"By the way, how is the sixth prince?" Thinking of the child, Gu Huaisheng asked as he walked.

"The fever subsided not long after taking the medicine, and then I have been sleeping, and I haven't woken up yet." The maid smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Master Gu, you are a good person!"

"What's the matter?" Gu Huaisheng was surprised when he was suddenly issued a good card.

"You are a good person. If it weren't for Mr. Gu, no one would have known that the sixth prince was sick, thanks to Mr. Gu!" Seeing Gu Huaisheng's puzzled face, he couldn't think about it, and explained: "To tell you the truth, when I first entered the palace, the servant was rubbed against the patient. I was bullied before. At that time, I was punished by the mother of the laundry bureau to wash a lot of dirty clothes, and I was not allowed to eat for three days. It was the sixth prince who passed by and ran into him. He saved half of his steamed buns every day and gave them to the servants, so that the servants can survive. He has a kindness with the servant, and the servant remembers it, but the servant is just a slave, who speaks lightly, but can't help him, even when he is being bullied, the servant can't protect him... Now that he can get the protection of Lord Gu, Even if it's just for a while, but I can let him recuperate and heal his illness with peace of mind, this servant is also very grateful."

It turned out to be like this...

Gu Huaisheng smiled and lifted his feet to step over the threshold, and was about to walk towards the inner hall when the eunuch's shrill notification came from behind him.

"My lord, Yunbi, please see me!"

Gu Huaisheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Ma Duo, but before he could respond, Ma Duo came into sight, still bright and charming, but much haggard visible to the naked eye.

After entering the door, Ma Duo didn't salute, but just glanced suggestively at the palace attendants.

Gu Huaisheng understood, and immediately waved away the palace servants, went to the table and sat down, turned over the glass and poured water.He always felt that the restaurant was not as full-bodied as before, and his mouth was still dry after drinking, and he was very thirsty all the way.

"Master Gu, I have already done what you asked for. Now that the dust has settled, isn't it time to honor what you promised me?" Ma Duo didn't even frown when she saw Gu Huaisheng's cold attitude. Step forward and say directly.
