The Duke's wife hugged Zhou Gu and noticed that his body was trembling slightly. Every time he said a word, the trembling became aggravated. She felt very distressed, but could not say anything.
He understands very well in his heart. He understands things so well and has already said that he will give it a try. How can she, a mother, have the heart to persuade him and force him to preach to him?
She could only hold him, pat his shoulders, and comfort him.
After a while, Zhou Gu put down his hand and said in a hoarse voice with red eyes: "Mom, I still have things to do. I have to leave the house."
The Duke's wife sighed, let go of him, and asked softly: "Did the investigation of the case not go well?"
Zhou Guqing said "Yeah", "When it comes to the Imperial Guards, who can put their hands into the Imperial Guards? Several princes, important ministers in the court, and even concubines in the palace, except for the East Palace and the Protector's Palace, have possible."
The Imperial Guards never interfered with the East Palace and the Protector's Palace. They kept a low profile for fear of being stared at by the emperor, let alone reaching in.
Madame Guogong wants to say that if you try to let go of Su Rong, you should avoid everything involving her. This case should not be investigated by you. But then I thought, I can avoid it for a while, but can I avoid it forever? Su Rong is in the capital now. Since the Duke's Palace has a promise with Princess Zhenmin, it can never avoid Su Rong. Even if Zhou Gu avoids it, will it be useful? The restraint is to the extreme. As he said, no one knows what the consequences will be. It is better to follow his heart and let him do what he can do, and maybe he can gradually let go.
So, she stopped asking any more questions and gently told her, "Then go and get busy! But no matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to your health. People still need to sleep."
"I know." Zhou Gu nodded.
The Duke's wife watched Zhou Gu leave Shuanglinyuan. She did not leave immediately. Instead, she sat where Zhou Gu had just sat. She sat quietly for a while and covered her eyes with her hands.
Back then, when the Duke of Guo died in the war, Zhou Gu was still a toddler, and her eldest son could only wrap around her knees. At that time, she felt that the sky was falling, and she wished she could hang herself from the rafters with a rope. But when she saw her two children, how could she bear the thought that they had no children? No father, no more mother? Even if she wanted to die, she had to hold herself back.
So, she got sick, gritted her teeth, and got through it.
But for more than fifteen years, in the dead of night, when she was alone and unable to sleep, how could she miss the person beside her who she once fell in love with and planned to stay with for the rest of her life? How could he regret more than once that he had stopped him from going to the battlefield?
Because she knew she was going to die, but she didn't try her best to stop it, which ruined the loyalty and passion of the Protector's Palace, whether it was the men of the Protector's Palace who died in the battle or her sisters-in-law who became widows like her. Even she, the princess of the country, regretted it. She didn't believe that they never cried or regretted when no one was behind their backs?
The most irresistible thing is the separation between life and death, the separation between yin and yang, the righteousness of life and death in the family, country and the world.
She has two sons. The eldest son is the eldest grandson of the Protectorate. He has no choice but to bear the responsibility of the Protectorate since he was born. This is the responsibility of every eldest grandson of a prosperous family. He inherits the title and gets 70% of the responsibility. It is natural for the family property to be protected by the Protectorate. But what about the youngest son? How many families have young children who, even at their age, are still idle, happy to enjoy themselves, accomplish nothing in learning, and have no ambitions? You don't have to bear the burden of the family if you get the small share of family property you deserve. These are the normal young sons of a high-ranking mansion in Beijing.
And her youngest son has been burdened with being too smart since he was a child.
Of course, she didn't think what her father-in-law did was wrong, and no one in the Protectorate Palace felt that what he did was wrong. Because, although the path he chose for Zhou Gu was for the good of the Duke Protector's Palace, more importantly, it was also for Zhou Gu himself to have a smooth career, a name that would go down in history, and be praised for thousands of years.
The world is prosperous and there are tens of millions of people. How many people can be remembered in history? A dynasty consists of only a few people.
But now, her son asked her in a hoarse voice, does he want to see the person he likes sleeping with someone else and regret it for the rest of his life? Everyone, including Su Rong, thinks that his personal relationship is insignificant and cannot be compared with these, right?
She may not be able to answer, but she can't help but think deeply and examine what he said. If she chooses the path for him, will he eventually become a walking dead if he is allowed to go on like this? Will I regret it deeply when I grow old?
Loneliness, dreaming back at midnight, deeply regretting it?
No! She had been deeply regretting being alone for sixteen years in the dead of night, and she could not let his son be like her.
Today's Duke Protector's Mansion is not facing a life-or-death disaster, and today's Liang national power is no longer as weak as it was back then. If her son wanted to keep his peace of mind for the rest of his life for his own affair, he might give up a lot of things, but as long as he didn't regret the marriage, what's the problem?
She put down her hands, stood up quickly, left Shuanglin Garden, and went to the yard of Princess Sheng'an.
The Duke's wife walked so fast that the maids who were serving her were startled and shouted "Madam" in surprise. The Duke's wife acted as if she hadn't heard. She walked in a hurry, never been so fast before, and rushed towards Sheng'an Dachang like a gust of wind. The princess's yard.
She has never been so disrespectful, disrespectful, and dignified.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an didn't sleep well yesterday, or in other words, she hadn't slept well for many days because of Zhou Gu's affairs. When she saw the Duke's wife rushing in like a wind, she was also startled and stood up immediately. Ask: "What happened?"
The Duke's wife stood firm, took a few breaths and said, "Mother, let them all get out!"
The eldest princess of Sheng'an waved her hand, and the people who were serving them quickly retreated, leaving only her and the Duke's wife in the room.
The Duke's wife took a deep breath, stepped forward to help the eldest princess Sheng'an, and sat down next to her, "Mother, when Brother Gu returned home just now, he met Mr. Ye Er from Ye Xiang's Mansion on the way. That night The second young master is going to Shen Mansion to find Su Rong."
With just these words, Princess Sheng'an's face changed slightly, "How is Brother Gu?"
The Duke's wife lowered her voice and recounted Zhou Gu's condition and what he said to Princess Sheng'an.
After hearing this, Princess Sheng'an covered her heart and didn't speak for a long time.
The Duke's wife knew that she was also distressed. When it came to hurting Zhou Gu, no one hurt her more than the eldest princess Sheng'an. When he went to the East Palace to study with him, she would ask him every day what he did in the East Palace. When he left the capital to go to Jiangning When she was in the county, she looked forward to the days, fearing that he would not be able to eat well, wear good clothes, drink well, and wait for him to come back safely.
She said softly: "Mother, your surname is Yan, and you are the eldest princess of Daliang. Back then, when the Wei Dynasty invaded, all my husband and brothers went to the battlefield. You, the country and your family, could not stop me. My husband and brothers died on the battlefield. My daughter-in-law, I wonder if you have ever regretted leaving even one behind in these years? But my daughter-in-law, let me tell you the truth today. In these years, my daughter-in-law has often regretted losing her husband and her loved one. Even though she knew she could stop her, she might not be able to stop her. But the daughter-in-law didn't say a word to stop her, she just silently put on her husband's armor and sent him out of the house. He left in such a hurry that he didn't even get to the city gate..."
Princess Sheng'an shed tears.
The Duke's wife also shed tears. Two people, two faces, both shed tears silently. Who said that crying bitterly is the most painful thing? They were in pain silently, but it lasted for more than ten years.
Mrs. Guo Gong swallowed more and said: "Mom, although Brother Gu said he would give it a try, my daughter-in-law was afraid that he would suffer hardship and restrain himself for a long time, and still couldn't let go. But during this period, Su Rong and Ye Guixue gave birth to a child. If you don’t have feelings, then my Brother Gu..."
She covered her face, "That's when there was really no room left."
Princess Sheng'an stood up.
The Duke's wife put down her hands. There was no reason for her mother to stand while she was sitting. She also stood up and called out, "Mother."
Princess Sheng'an stood for a moment, took out her handkerchief, slowly wiped the tears from her face, and said calmly: "You are right."
She shouted, "Here comes someone!"
The nanny who was serving her was always guarding the door. She opened the door and came in, "Eldest Princess?"
The eldest princess of Sheng'an ordered, "Go to Shen's Mansion quickly and go there in person. Tell me that I have something important. Please make sure Su Rong comes to the Duke Protector's Mansion today."
The personal nanny agreed and went immediately.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an slowly sat down and said to the Duke's wife: "Dang Duan is constantly being disturbed by him. This is Su Rong's plan to break off the engagement without doing anything else. The longer the delay, the more involved Zhou Gu will be. , both are disadvantageous. But now many days have passed, and Brother Gu is still so reluctant to let go. And to be able to say these words to you today, he must be extremely miserable.
, and it was also at the right time that you found him, which allowed him to reveal his true feelings to you when his heart was at its weakest. As a mother, what kind of justice do you still uphold at this time? What are you asking for, such as a clear path to success and a name in history? Don’t think what he thinks, ask for what he asks for, answer his questions, and resolve his confusion. If you just blindly blindly let lard blind your heart, then you will always lose your son’s love for you. A mother’s natural trust. In other words, there is no maternal love and she is unkind and unkind. "
After finishing speaking, Princess Sheng'an held the Duke's wife's hand and pulled her to sit down. "So, you are right to come to me today. I am also a mother and his grandmother. I will only look forward to him." Well, I won’t watch him ruin me and regret it for the rest of my life.”
Dear friends, I’m back from the meeting and I’m too tired to have any energy. Please pay more for your monthly ticket!
