On the Tang Mansion side, Tang Ning coaxed little A'ru, who had just changed her name, to make trouble. On the other side, Gu Helian took Princess Cheng to the unfinished academy in the south of the city.
The moon hung in the sky, and Princess Cheng knelt down in front of the new earth-colored grave. Mu Feng and others had already retreated away.
Gu Helian, who was rarely dressed in plain clothes, stood a few steps away from her, looking at the woman in front of her with red eyes.
"I accompanied Tang Ning to the Song family last night to move the graves and bury the Rong family sisters here. Do you know what we saw when we went there? Their coffins were opened, the bones were in a mess, there were talisman paper inside and blood was poured on them. "
"Tang Ning almost went crazy, but she still had to force herself to calm down."
Seeing Rongyue's figure shaking slightly, Gu Helian's voice dropped slightly.
"I know that you are sad about what happened during this period, and also regret that you have been so infatuated for so many years, but you don't eat or drink every day, and feel sad and mournful. It was never Xie Tianyu who was hurt."
"Tang Ning has been following Xiao Yan around during this period, and the Rong family sister and Song Xi are even more desperate. If you really fail to recover and continue to be decadent, who will avenge them?"
"Revenge?" Rong Yue hissed and turned around.
Gu Helian lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Do you really think their death was just an accident?"
"When the couple died suddenly, everyone regarded it as an accident. However, after their deaths, their graves were dug up and their bones were completely destroyed. It was difficult to find peace even in the ground."
"I have already asked Xiao Yan. This matter is closely related to the aristocratic family and the royal family. It is very likely to involve other things. It will not be easy to trace it."
"You and Tang Ning are the only ones left in the Rong family now. Do you want to put all the pressure on her, a little girl, and let her find out the truth for her parents while taking care of you who is too sad and shrinks in your turtle shell and refuses to come out? ?”
"Rong Yue, you shouldn't be like this."
She has a clear understanding of love and hate, and she will retaliate even for those who have bullied her. She will repay those who have bullied her a thousand times. She lives more vividly than anyone else, and she should not feel so sorry for herself.
Rong Yue's eyes became redder when she heard the words behind her. She looked at the new grave in front of her, thinking about the muddled days, she suddenly fell in front of the grave and cried.
From the initial soft voice to the later crying, it seemed that all the grievances and sadness were being vented.
Gu Helian squatted beside her and wanted to reach out and pat her back, but she took it back halfway.
"Rong Yue, you and Tang Ning..."
And me too...
The second half of the sentence was lingering in his mouth but never came out. The person who had always been wanton was filled with cowardice at this moment. After losing his arrogance, he just stayed by his side silently.
…
It was already late at night when Gu Helian and the others returned to Tang Mansion. After sending Rong Yue back to his room to rest, he sat silently on the side corridor all night, and it was not until dawn that he fell asleep leaning against the pillars.
When Rong Yue woke up, she felt that the sickness in her heart seemed to have faded away.
"Princess looks much better today." Xichun was full of joy as he helped her stand up.
Rong Yue looked at the person in the glasses, her face was much thinner and not as refined as before. She put on a bright dress that she had not worn for a while, and asked Xichun to pull up her hair for her, and then tied her waist. Lian Daicai said: "Let someone bring food over, I'm hungry."
Xichun quickly smiled and said, "The head of the Gu family had someone prepare it last night. He said that you might be hungry when you wake up. I will go and get it now."
"Wait a minute." Rong Yue stopped Xichun and was silent for a moment before saying, "Where are the others?"
Xichun was stunned for a moment.
Rongyue pursed her lips: "Gu Helian."
Xichun said hurriedly: "It's outside."
This time Rongyue was stunned, outside? She quickly got up and walked to the window, where she saw Gu Helian sleeping with her eyes closed and leaning against the pillar outside.
He was leaning there with his clothes on, and his long legs seemed to have no way to be placed, and they stretched out and fell on the ground. The summer sun shone through the edge of the eaves and fell on the sleeping man's face. The man who had always been extremely flamboyant showed his most defenseless side.
There was green stubble on his jaw, and his face was full of tiredness. Normally, when he opened his mouth, he would have a venomous tongue, but now his lips were pursed even when he was asleep.
"The head of the Gu family has not had much rest for several days. After sending you back last night, he has been waiting outside the window. I persuaded him twice and refused to leave, so I had no choice but to follow him." Xichun finished speaking in a low voice. Asked: "Do you want me to wake up Master Gu?"
Rongyue said: "Go get the food first and get more."
Xichun nodded and walked out through the main door without waking Gu Helian.
Rongyue stood by the window and looked at the sleeping people outside. For a moment, it seemed like she had returned to the past.
I still remember that when she was young, Gu Helian was always different from other officials' children. He didn't like reading and didn't like rules. Although his father had a solemn and boring temperament, he always liked to make mischief. His father said he was smart, but he never put his mind into it. On the right path, what I like are all the heretical things.
He could always find some strange things, and he was never short of money. He would buy her and her sister flowers, make clothes, and take them to the theater. Sometimes she and her sister would sit under the tree. While they were reading, heads could pop up from the canopy of trees above their heads, grinning at them.
"Sister, Rong Yue."
She would glare at him every time, angry that he called her sister but called her by her first name.
When Xichun came back with breakfast, Rong Yue reached out and picked out an unopened flower bone from the pomegranate pot beside the window sill, and threw it directly outside.
Gu Helian woke up instantly, raised her head and faced Rong Yue standing by the window.
The red clothes were bright and the phoenix eyes were sparkling. For a moment, he seemed to have met the second mother of the Rong family when she was young.
"What are you doing here? Get up and eat."
"ah?"
"Ah what, you don't want to eat?"
Seeing Rong Yue's eyebrows frowning and indicating that she would just let it go if she didn't eat, Gu Helian woke up completely. Before she could figure out what was going on, she quickly got up from the ground using her hands and feet. Before she could stand still, she screamed urgently. Said: "Eat!!"
No matter what, I'm talking after eating.
Rong Yue rolled her eyelids, while Xichun stood in the room covering her mouth and snickering.
…
When Tang Ning came to see Rong Yue again, she found that her spirit had improved visibly. She was not like the chaotic look in the past few days, and her eyes were clear.
Rong Yue looked calm when she asked about King Cheng. Although Tang Ning didn't know how Gu Helian did it, she was happy that her aunt could come out. She never hid the matter from King Cheng, and also told the Lu family and Queen Lu , and all their guesses were told to Rong Yue one by one.
Rongyue was a little shocked, but more of a surprise: "It's actually her..."
Tang Ning said: "We haven't confirmed it yet, but after Brother's test, she did send someone to the Lu family. If Mrs. Lu's side is really as we guessed, and she finally took the blame, then we can be sure that she has been with the Lu family all these years. The one whom King Cheng is content with is Queen Lu."
Rong Yue's face was a bit sad. Her opinion of Queen Lu could not be said to be good or bad. However, after marrying Xie Tianyu and becoming her "sister-in-law", the two of them had never been in contact with each other. Especially after Tang Ning got engaged to the Lu family, she had At one time, he frequently visited Fengxi Palace and had a very close relationship with Empress Lu.
Rongyue was silent for a moment: "Isn't Xie Yin's bloodline from Xie Tianyu?"
If Empress Lu was really cruel to those who married Prince Cheng, she would not have allowed Xie Tianyu to have blood with other women. As for Empress Lu, she would not have given birth to a son quietly, so Xie Yin could only It was brought from somewhere else.
Tang Ning said "Yes": "It should be the blood of the Lu family, but I don't know who it is specifically."
Rong Yue said: "Lu Qingfeng is very thoughtful. Since she has been plotting against Xie Tianyu for many years, she will not just bring a child back to occupy the position of the heir apparent of Prince Cheng's residence, and go and find out who gave birth to a child that year in the Lu family, or who died in infancy. Baby..."
She paused, then remembered something and said: "Although Lu Qingfeng was adopted into Lu Chongyuan's lap, she is not as close to Lu Chongyuan as her biological parents. If the Lu family cannot find out, they can go to her biological parents." Go check it out, maybe there will be clues.”
Tang Ning nodded: "I will tell Brother."
Rongyue said in a deep voice: "This matter concerns the Queen. Whether it is true or false, once it is revealed, it will hurt the royal family's face. Even if you and Xiao Yan get the evidence, remember not to come forward. If possible, find someone to expose it." This matter."
Tang Ning said: "Don't worry, aunt, brother has already made arrangements."
"That's good."
The two discussed in a low voice the matter of Queen Lu. Rongyue also learned about King Cheng's punishment from Tang Ning. Neither the aunt nor the nephew mentioned the child who had been replaced. Even Rongyue himself seemed to believe that the child had already been killed. He was dead, never mentioned, not even a word asked.
Rong Yue and Tang Ning said: "In the next few days, I will find an opportunity to report to Your Majesty and make peace with Xie Tianyu."
Tang Ning frowned: "Will Your Majesty agree?"
"Xie Tianyu conspired and almost killed me. He deceived me for many years and misunderstood my engagement. Even for the royal reputation, he would agree."
Rongyue didn't know Emperor An very well, but she also knew that he was a good-looking person. She was sure that Emperor An would agree to their reconciliation. If he didn't agree...
Then you can't blame her for using other means.
After all, it was their royal family’s face that was lost.
Rong Yue looked at Tang Ning: "Don't worry about me. It was my confusion before that almost caused you trouble, but I won't do it again."
She will protect Tang Ning and seek justice for her sister.
Girls from the Rong family are not that easy to bully, even if that person is the queen!
