Chapter 1575: Didn’t you have any doubts back then?
A trace of comfort passed through Gu Yunxi's heart.
Mu Hongning had disappeared for so many years. If he hadn't really been thinking about him, how could he have recognized him at first glance? Qinian looked like his mother?
More than 20 years have passed. Things and people have changed. Different people have come to live with them. I have long forgotten what those people looked like back then.
"Master Wan, who were you to the Northern Emperor back then?" Gu Yunxi asked, glancing at Wan Xinlan and Wan Xinian at the same time. "Why don't you get up first? There's no need to keep kneeling to talk."
Wan Xinlan looked at Gu Yunxi, something flashed across her eyes. After a while, she asked in a hoarse voice, "So, you are really the Crown Prince of Beiling, Gu Yunxi?"
"As long as you believe, I am it." Gu Yunxi nodded.
Wan Xinlan was pleasantly surprised, and looking at Gu Yunxi's eyes, she was excited and expectant.
She helped her second brother stand up, still looking at Gu Yunxi, and couldn't hide her trembling words: "In Beiling, can a woman really become a general or a high official?"
Before Gu Yunxi could speak, Mu Qinian said, "No matter where you are, as long as you have the ability, why not?"
"But……"
"My eldest brother is a man who values talent. He only looks at ability when hiring people."
"So...so I can also follow the prince and become a general?" Wan Xinlan felt that her world suddenly lit up.
Her biggest wish in life is to be able to support her family like a man, and even protect her country.
She has been longing for Beiling since she first knew him.
She even hated herself for not being born in Beiling.
But now, the son of Lord Beidi actually said that as long as she has the ability, she can also become a general!
Can she really?
"The prince is indeed a man who values talent, but it also requires you, Miss Third, to be a real talent."
Gu Yunxi waved her arm, and the gauze curtain on the bed slid down, hiding Jun Yexuan's appearance.
She looked at the three people from Wan Jianshan and said, "I'm sorry, the prince needs to rest. Master Wan, can you please lend me a hand to talk?"
"Yes, yes!" Wan Jianshan finally reacted. The prince was still unconscious. They had been standing by the bed and staring at the prince, which was really disrespectful.
The group returned to the side hall not far away.
The excitement in the hearts of the three members of the Wan family gradually subsided.
Wan Jianshan lowered his eyes, looked at his broken leg, and his voice began to become low and hoarse again.
"I...was originally His Majesty's deputy general, and I have followed His Majesty in battle for many years...I still remember that year, when I went on a battle with His Majesty, we killed the leaders of the 72 camps in Qilang Mountain and subdued the bandits in Qilang Mountain. How high-spirited His Majesty was at that time!"
"Back then..." He looked at his legs and couldn't help sighing again, "Back then, I was also... at least I could be considered a famous person."
"Your Excellency saved my life. If it weren't for Your Excellency, I would have died on Qilang Mountain. Your Excellency's noble body blocked a knife for me. At that time, I swore to myself that I would follow Your Excellency for the rest of my life and would never have two minds."
"However, the world is unpredictable. I didn't expect that not long after His Majesty returned, news of his sudden death came from the palace..."
"Could it be that the Northern Emperor was seriously injured when he recaptured the bandits in Qillang Mountain?" Gu Yunxi frowned.
Wan Jianshan shook his head and said, "That's not the case. It was just a minor injury, but it really saved my life."
Gu Yunxi frowned even more tightly: "If it was a minor injury, why did he suddenly die after returning to the palace? Didn't you suspect anything back then?"
