Wearing the white moonlight of a rival

The expected answer is one thing to think, but another thing to say it.

Although Gu Heng would run into Gu You from time to time when he was walking in the capital, but that person was not his real father, and he couldn't do it if he felt extremely sad all of a sudden.

"As soon as cousin Zhuo came, I thought of it." Gu Heng said lightly, with no expression on his face.

After a pause, he said again, "Let's go quickly. If you went yesterday, the coffin will be buried at dawn the next day. We have to leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to catch up."

"Cousin Heng..." Gu Zhuo wanted to comfort him, but it could be seen that Gu Heng's expression was calm and he was speechless for a while.

"Shen Yu, pack your luggage." Gu Heng instructed Shen Yu.

Shen Yu didn't move, with tears in his eyes, "Master Heng, this servant is very sad."

Gu Heng reached out and patted Shen Yu's shoulder, "Everything will be fine."

Seeing this, Gu Zhuo couldn't help comforting him, "Cousin Heng, if you're sad, it's better to cry."

Gu Heng shook his head, then nodded again, "Yes."

While crying, Shen Yu packed a bag. There was really no luggage on the way, so she packed it up quickly, and followed Gu Heng with the bag, tears streaming down her cheeks.

In comparison, Gu Heng really didn't seem so sad.

But in the eyes of outsiders, at least in the eyes of Gu Zhuo, Gu Heng had to suppress the tears and had to pretend to be strong, which made people feel even more sad.

"The Gu family will decide for you about Gu Lingcheng." Gu Zhuo promised.

Gu Heng asked: "How did he die?"

Gu Zhuo paused, "Go back to the Marquis Mansion, and I'll tell you in detail. This matter needs to be discussed with my father to see how to deal with it."

"So, does it really have something to do with Prince Shun?" Gu Heng was initially surprised that a person like Wei Mingkai shouldn't be able to commit suicide, but he didn't expect that it really had something to do with him!

Gu Zhuo nodded, "The most important thing at the moment is to let Gu Lingcheng go to the ground to rest in peace, and your mother, you need to spend more time with her. I heard that Mrs. You asked you to return to Beijing this time to say goodbye Thing, you are indeed not young. In the past, it was inconvenient to discuss relatives when you were practicing in Buddhism. If you delay three years because of filial piety this time, you will pass the age of [-]. Our family is fine, I am afraid that others will gossip... ..."

Gu Zhuo led Gu Heng out and saw that he was weak, so he reached out to support Gu Heng.

Gu Heng felt surprised, the former Gu Zhuo was such a fearless person, how could he take other people's comments to heart?Now that he was actually worried about Gu Heng's marriage, and even took the reason of gossip to heart, Gu Heng felt that the second brother in his impression had changed a lot.

In the past six years, he could imagine how the Gu family would be ostracized, but he didn't expect that a person who was always free and easy would change his temperament.

"Cousin Zhuo, I'm not afraid of gossip, I'm just worried that my father's grievances will not be avenged, and my Changting Hou Mansion has to make a compromise. This is something I absolutely don't want to see."

The two were talking, and they had already crossed the threshold and came to the yard.

There are a few trees and stone benches planted alone in the yard, which looks much deserted.

Gu Zhuo sighed, "How to deal with this matter, you have to discuss it with your father before you can act. Cousin Heng, let me tell you the truth, today's Changting Hou's Mansion is not yesterday's Changting Hou's Mansion. Do you understand?"

Gu Heng lowered his eyelids, his eyes fell on his toes.

He didn't want to nod, and he didn't want to shake his head.

He knew that the culprit who caused all this was himself who was still parasitic in Gu Heng's body at this moment. If it wasn't for the treason case six years ago, the Gu family would not have fallen to this point.

In fact, from the day he embarked on the road of power and strategy, it meant success and defeat. If he won, Wei Minghuan would be imprisoned, and if he lost, his family would be destroyed.

Today's fate of the Gu family has been settled.

But in the end, he was not reconciled. This was definitely not the prosperity and wealth of Gu Heng alone, but the prosperity of the entire family. Maybe he had the responsibility to revive the Gu family.

Thinking of this, he sketched a plan for the future in his mind, with a few strokes and no details added.

Suddenly, I heard a loud shout from beside me: "Who?—"

It was Gu Zhuo who spoke.

Gu Zhuo was a martial arts practitioner, and he was always vigilant. His eyes were fixed on the eaves of the house just now, and he only heard the slight sound of tiles breaking. A black shadow flashed past, turned over the roof, and disappeared.

"Someone is watching and eavesdropping?" Gu Heng immediately realized.

Gu Zhuo hummed, and said affirmatively: "I think I've been lurking for a long time, this person is very skilled, if it wasn't for the noise just now, I haven't noticed it yet."

Gu Heng naturally knew about Gu Zhuo's ability, the eavesdropper must have high martial arts skills, definitely not an ordinary master.

I don't know when I was lurking on the roof, maybe I have heard about the quarrel with Shen Yu earlier, if I really read the whole process of the whole process, such a bizarre incident like myself, I am afraid it will become a handle in the hands of others .

After all, it was because the child was young and simple-minded that he didn't hide it from Shen Yu, but if it was someone else, even Gu Zhuo, after hearing what he just woke up, he might have doubts in his heart.

So who is this surveillance person?What are you going to do?

"Cousin Heng, don't worry." Gu Zhuo turned around to comfort Gu Heng, "You are my Gu family, and the Gu family will naturally protect you well, and the Brotherhood will check out the person who is watching, and I will definitely not let you suffer in the slightest." harm."

Even though he said so, Gu Zhuo knew very well in his heart that unless the person reappeared, it would be difficult to find out who the other person was, or who the mastermind behind it was.

"Cousin Zhuo, thank you, I just don't understand why I am being watched, is it..." Gu Heng asked cautiously, "What actions did the Changting Hou Mansion do in Beijing recently?"

He knows some secret things, and as a collateral descendant, he is not qualified to participate, but he has not escaped the shadow of the first son of the Gu family in his heart, so he naturally begins to speculate subconsciously.

Gu Zhuo didn't think too much about it, and only replied, "Probably not."

When Gu Heng heard these words, he knew the meaning behind his words. The Gu family had come to the point of decline, so who would deliberately monitor the Gu family?

Even if there is surveillance, it should be a direct descendant like Gu Zhuo or Gu Yu, not a collateral child who grew up in Changting County.Judging from the situation just now, that person was monitoring Gu Heng, not following Gu Zhuo all the way.

And it was also the first time for him to wake up from Gu Heng's body, but the man in black had been watching him for a long time, which showed that the real intention of the other party was still the original Gu Heng.

What's so special about Gu Heng that he would surprise such an expert?And what does the person behind it want to do?

More importantly, how much did the man in black hear? He suddenly borrowed Gu Heng's body, and his vigilance as a martial arts practitioner has weakened a lot, so he didn't realize that the wall has ears.

If someone else found out the real situation, I'm afraid...not only would he not be able to survive, but it would also bring disaster to the Gu family.

Gu Heng was terrified in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and followed Gu Zhuo into the carriage.

Outside the official post, the carriage was ready. The coachman was the usual one in Changting Hou Mansion. Gu Heng was very familiar with it. He still remembered that it was this coachman who sent him off the night before he went to Dali Temple six years ago.

Six years later, even the driver has aged a lot. If time has only carved a few points on Gu Zhuo, then it has carved even more on this coachman. It seems that he has aged ten years all of a sudden. The middle-aged man turned into a decadent and lifeless old man.

The carriage drove fast and steadily, Gu Heng sat in the carriage, the weakness caused by his body made him drowsy, and Shen Yu beside him was still crying.

Sitting in the car, Gu Zhuo glanced at Gu Heng from time to time, and suddenly heard the news of his father's death. As a parent and child, how could he not feel sad?

What's more, Gu You is not the kind of scumbag father who doesn't care about his wife and children. On the contrary, he has always done a good job. Even Gu Heng chose not to get married. Mrs. You cried and cried for his mother's reluctance. Only Gu You has always supported his son.

Moreover, Gu You only had one son, Gu Heng. As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. Even under the pressure of etiquette, Gu You gave his son enough freedom.

In addition, Gu Heng also has an older sister named Gu Wan, who was married in her early years. Although she also lives in Beijing, it is very difficult to meet Gu Heng. Even Mrs. You only sees her once or twice a year.

"Mr. Heng, if you want to cry, you can cry. The slave looks uncomfortable." Shen Yu comforted Gu Heng in a low voice.

Gu Heng sighed, "I can't cry."

When Shen Yu heard this, she became even more sad.

"No matter what, the slave will accompany you, Mr. Heng will never be alone."

Gu Heng nodded, "Thank you."

The carriage headed towards the capital city quickly, and the man in black who escaped from Gu Heng's roof also rushed into the capital city.

Because he rode a horse and was familiar with the roads, he even entered the city the day before Gu Heng, and then drove his horse to the Yulin Guard of Guanglu Temple, changed into a black official uniform, and went straight into the palace. No one in the army stopped or questioned him, which shows that he is very familiar with this person.

This person is none other than the leader of Habayashi Guard, Lou Diyu.

At the same time, he was also the leader of Wei Minghuan's secret guards. If Gu Heng saw this person's face with his own eyes, he would definitely remember that this person was Wei Minghuan's most loyal subordinate back then, and he was also the only one who could make Wei Minghuan listen to him.

Wei Minghuan is headstrong by nature and often stubborn. Although he is extremely smart, his personality is really not good. Lou Diyu has been with him all year round and has persuaded him many times.

On the rainy night when Gu Heng died, it was this black-clothed guard who prevented Wei Minghuan from impulsiveness, and allowed the sixth prince, who was the least favored, to inherit the throne.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wei Minghuan to obtain the justifiable imperial decree to establish the crown prince in such a short period of time. Even the late emperor was secretly dissatisfied with this point.

"Sixth Master." Facing Wei Minghuan, Lou Diyu still addressed him as usual.

Just because Wei Minghuan became the emperor above ten thousand people did not change the slightest, this is also the special treatment given by Wei Minghuan.

All the dark guards called him Sixth Master, not His Majesty.

"Have you found it?" Wei Minghuan stood at the desk and wrote, dipping the brush in ink and swaying it wantonly.

He has fallen in love with calligraphy these years, and he often writes a few words with a pen, while he is asking Lou Diyu what to say, while his wrists are fluttering and his movements are non-stop.

Lou Diyu bowed his head and said: "Yes, that person is a collateral branch of the Gu family, Gu Heng."

"Gu Heng?" Wei Minghuan frowned. Didn't that person die long ago?

Lou Diyu explained: "It's just that the name is similar to Young Master Gu, but there is actually someone else, the only son of Gu Lingcheng."

"Which Gu Lingcheng?" Wei Minghuan already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.

"Gu You." Lou Diyu replied.

"So it's him." Wei Minghuan stopped writing, thinking.

When he was young, he had many contacts with the Gu family. After his biological mother died, he was raised by Empress Gu for two years. Empress Gu had nothing to do for many years. Seeing that he lost his mother and lived a miserable life in the palace, he adopted him as an adopted son and took good care of him. .

There was a moment when he thought that he would become the first son of Zhonggong, but his humble status eventually brought him back to his original form.

Empress Gu was the first wife of the first emperor, and also the daughter of the Gu family in the Marquis of Changting. Because she was weak and unable to have children, the Gu family sent another daughter to the palace. This is Concubine Gu Xian, the biological mother of the fourth prince Wei Mingkai.

Because of the relationship with Empress Gu, Wei Minghuan felt somewhat grateful to the Gu family, and did not kill them all after ascending the throne.

As for Gu Heng, I met him once or twice when I was a child, but I never saw him again when I grew up.

"That girl in Daning Temple back then, it turned out to be him?" Wei Minghuan pulled the long-standing memories in his mind, except for that vague figure back then, he couldn't think of anything else.

Even including the memory of Gu Heng himself, if you say this name, the only thing that comes to mind is that old enemy Gu Heng who fought to the death.

Lou Diyu knelt in front of Wei Minghuan and did not speak.

Wei Minghuan murmured: "Is she actually a man?"

Lou Diyu raised her head and looked at Wei Minghuan quietly, "I have checked, at that time, apart from the group headed by Prince Shun in Daning Temple, only Mr. Gu Heng, who was living in the temple for a while, was left. There are no female relatives."

Wei Minghuan didn't interrupt Lou Diyu, so he continued: "According to the clues provided by Liu Ye, there is only one person who fits the bill, that is Mr. Gu Heng. Of course, there is another possibility..."

"What's possible?" Wei Minghuan asked.

Lou Diyu said: "I have asked the old monks in Daning Temple who are still alive. According to many sources, Prince Shun and others have been playing in the backyard. Except for Mr. Gu who went out for half a day, not even a servant has ever gone out. .If the person Liu Ye met wasn't Mr. Heng, then it could only be Mr. Gu."

"Gu Heng?" Wei Minghuan sneered, "That pig's head is the most face-saving, how could he dress up as a woman? Isn't it just a joke? It's impossible!"

"Yes." Lou Diyu echoed, "My subordinates also found out that Mrs. Gu Jiayou listened to the rumors of Fangwai Taoist priests during that time, and often dressed Mr. Heng as a woman. That person should be him without a doubt."

"It's impossible for other women to get in?" Wei Minghuan was still struggling for the last time.

Lou Diyu shook her head affirmatively, "It happened to be the day of worshiping Buddha at that time, Daning Temple was closed everywhere, and no one except the royal family could enter. As for the prince and the servants around the son, the sixth master should know that I will pay my respects The teaching is very strict, men and women are allowed to have maids in front of the crown, but they are not allowed to have maids who accompany them, so there will never be any prince or son who dares to bring a servant dressed as a man into Daning Temple."

After the words fell, the hall was silent for a moment, Wei Minghuan sighed, "So, the little girl I've been thinking about for more than ten years, is that Gu Heng, a descendant of the Gu family?"
