Chapter 170 What is Gu Huaizhou afraid of?
After Emperor Yong and Queen Wang left, everyone else sat in the hall and enjoyed the performance.
So when Yan Qing changed his clothes and reappeared, everyone looked over.
Prince Li chuckled softly and said, "It seems the princess is fine."
The King of Qi replied sarcastically, "It seems that my eldest brother really hopes that something bad will happen to the princess."
Prince Li didn't care. Instead, he looked at the singing girls dancing in the hall and applauded, "Wonderful, wonderful! It's all in vain, hahahaha..."
The King of Qi's face darkened instantly.
The eldest princess's expression was not good either. She glared at Yan Qing and said, "You're lucky!"
Yan Qing was too lazy to pay attention to her, but looked at Gu Huaizhou opposite. Seeing the man looking at her with worry in his eyes, Yan Qing nodded slightly, indicating that he was fine.
After the banquet, everyone left the palace.
Yan Qingze and Gu Huaizhou went to the palace where Concubine Yue lived before her death.
On the way, Gu Huaizhou asked, "What did the palace maid give you just now?"
After Yan Qing left, he had been watching outside, so when Yan Qing reappeared, he saw it at a glance.
Naturally, he also saw the little palace maid who suddenly rushed out.
Yan Qing smiled at him and said, "I really can't hide anything from you."
"Qingqing..."
Gu Huaizhou looked at Yan Qing and suddenly said solemnly: "No matter what the Queen tells you, don't believe it. Any..."
After a pause, the man said, "Qingqing, you can ask me for anything."
You can't just ask him casually.
You can ask anything of him.
Yan Qing looked at the man's serious and worried expression, took the initiative to step forward and took Gu Huaizhou's arm, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, the Queen wants to use Yue Fei to lure me out-"
At this time, the two had arrived in front of the Moon Palace.
Yan Qing looked at the magnificent palace before her and raised her chin slightly. "Yes, it's here. The little note just now said that if I want to know the cause of Concubine Yue's death, I should follow the palace maid to the Moon Palace alone..."
Hearing this, Gu Huaizhou stopped suddenly.
Yan Qing clearly felt his body stiffen, and his whole body became somewhat cold and gloomy.
She held his hand, her voice soft but powerful: "If you want to know the truth of that year, let's go in and take a look..."
"Do not."
The man shook his head slightly: "I know the cause of my mother's death."
"Concubine Yue...was she killed by the Empress?"
"Yes and no."
Gu Huaizhou's eyes were dark as he said, "She was killed by herself."
The winter moon wasn't as bright as the summer nights, as if covered in frost. In this cold and lonely night, Yan Qing heard about the unknown past...
Queen Yue Fei was originally the Holy Maiden of the Moon Clan.
At that time, he was innocent and ignorant of the world, and met Emperor Yong by chance. The young emperor had ambitions but no power to display them. Several generations of emperors were trapped by their relatives by marriage, and they were depressed, sad but helpless.
Maybe it's because he hasn't experienced the hardships of life.
The saint was attracted by the emperor's temperament and impressed by his talent. From then on, she fell in love with the young emperor.
Knowing that he was in a difficult situation and that he was surrounded by wolves.
The innocent saint resolutely gave up her identity and returned to the palace with the emperor under the pseudonym Gu Yue.
They also had a sweet time.
But the good times didn't last long.
Gradually, various problems began to arise around the emperor. He was suppressed by the aristocratic families and relatives to the point of suffocation. The ancestral family business could not be destroyed in his hands, so Concubine Yue began to secretly use the power of the Yue clan to help him consolidate his throne.
With the help of the Moon Clan, the emperor gradually formed a balance with the aristocratic families.
However, when Concubine Yue was about to give birth, Queen Wang suddenly told her that her meeting with Emperor Yong was nothing but an elaborate scam, and that Emperor Yong's deep affection for her was nothing but a love net that had been woven long ago.
Even during those years when he was most severely oppressed by his in-laws, he deliberately created a pitiful appearance in order to win the sympathy and sympathy of Concubine Yue and mobilize the people of the Yue Clan to help him.
And he sacrificed almost the entire Moon Clan.
Only then did he finally gain a foothold under the checks and balances of the Wang family and escape from his life as an emperor who was completely reduced to a puppet.
Of course Yue Fei didn't believe it.
But when she asked her confidants to investigate, they found nothing. Emperor Yong told her that the Moon Clan members who came to help him had all left.
Concubine Yue didn't believe it, and after repeated questioning, Emperor Yong finally revealed a flaw. Later, Concubine Yue threatened to commit suicide, and Emperor Yong admitted that all those people of the Yue clan had sacrificed their lives.
And her meeting with Emperor Yong that year was indeed arranged by him...
Yue Fei couldn't bear the blow.
Sudden premature birth.
At that time, Queen Wang was waiting for the opportunity to get rid of Concubine Yue and the fetus in her womb. Fortunately, Concubine Yue had a group of death warriors by her side.
After the fetus was born, Concubine Yue asked her confidant to find a dead baby as a substitute, and the real child was taken out of the palace.
Concubine Yue committed suicide after giving birth.
Yan Qing looked at Gu Huaizhou in astonishment.
She always thought that Concubine Yue was killed by Queen Wang, but she didn't expect that it was actually... suicide.
Gu Huaizhou laughed sarcastically and said, "She wants to use her death to make Ying Sheng regret and suffer."
He regretted it and was in pain.
So he didn't let anyone touch this palace over the years, but he himself didn't dare to come here either.
Over the years, Concubine Yue has become a taboo in the court.
He has felt guilty about him all these years.
But so what?
What’s the point of having guilt and regrets after a person dies?
and so--
Gu Huaizhou took a deep breath and suddenly held Yan Qing's hand tightly: "Qingqing, I hope that no matter what the situation is, you can protect yourself first, instead of being like your mother..."
The man suddenly stopped talking.
Yan Qing, however, keenly heard the depression in his voice.
She hugged him, patted his back with both hands, and whispered, "Okay, I promise you."
Gu Huaizhou hugged her tightly.
Like a drowning man grabbing the only piece of driftwood that can help him survive.
He can't lose Qingqing again.
In his previous life, he was like his father, who killed the woman he loved for the sake of his kingdom. In this life, he would never repeat the same mistake.
Only when Qingqing was alive did he feel that he was alive too.
A tear fell into Yan Qing's neck.
Yan Qing, who was comforting Gu Huaizhou, was stunned. She could feel the strong and paranoid emotions from the man, which seemed to be mixed with a hint of... fear?
What is Gu Huaizhou afraid of?
Yan Qing didn't quite understand.
She patted the man's broad shoulders and comforted him, "It's okay, Gu Huaizhou. I won't be like Empress Yue. And don't be sad. Empress Yue certainly doesn't want you to be unhappy because of her."
Gu Huaizhou stood up straight.
Qingqing thought he was sad for his mother?
how could be?
Although that person was his mother, he had never seen her. She gave him life and left him secret guards to protect him. He was grateful, but also felt sorry for her for leading herself to a dead end for a man.
But he doesn't feel bad for her.
Because it was her own choice.
He did it for his own innocence and for the regrets of his past life...
Never mind, it’s better if she doesn’t know.
"Let's go."
Gu Huaizhou took Yan Qing's hand, looked at Yuegong and said, "Since you didn't fall for the Queen's trick, I think the trap here should be removed..."
