A thousand years
Chapter 118 Restoring Memory 1
The five-year-old Gu Huai covered his mouth and forced himself not to make any sound. He hid behind the pillars of the palace, his eyes widened, and he saw with his own eyes that his noble, graceful, gentle and beautiful mother queen knelt on the ground and begged her father.
Ning Wanyan firmly grasped Gu Hongwen, looked up at the emperor she had loved all her life, her heart was like a knife, the woman burst into tears, crying blood, just wanting to get the man in front of her to feel sorry for him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The Ning family is a loyal family, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a rebellious thing! Your Majesty, I beg you, my concubine, please see that after all these years in the Ning family, you have finally been loyal to Nanchu. For the sake of it, let them live, Your Majesty..."
"The concubine is willing to guarantee with his life that we, the Ning family, are absolutely loyal to Nanchu! Your Majesty, the concubine begs you... How can you trust such a method of framing..."
Gu Hongwen turned his head, frowned tightly, and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground who was not at all the demeanor of the Queen of Nanchu. A trace of disgust and impatience flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, I am so stupid that I can't even Wronged loyal ministers?"
Flicking his sleeves in rage, Gu Hongwen stared closely at Ning Wanyan, with a cold voice, "The entire Ning family is plotting rebellion and shaking our country in Southern Chu. The death penalty is unforgivable! If you say one more word, even you...I In the Southern Chu Palace, there are so many people who want to climb to the position of empress!"
The woman's eyes were wide open, her eyes were red, and she couldn't speak, so she grabbed Gu Hongwen's sleeve tightly and shook her head desperately.
For so many years, the Ning family has devoted all their energy to Nanchu. She stayed in the harem and gave birth to children for the man in front of her. How could he be so cruel now? How could he? !
boom--
Ning Wanyan grasped it very tightly, Gu Hongwen felt impatient, he raised his foot, and kicked directly on the woman's chest fiercely.
Without looking back, with his back to Ning Wanyan who fell to the ground and wept bitterly, Gu Hongwen's voice was cold and there was no room for change.
"Queen, if it wasn't for the fact that I still have such sympathy for you, you would be executed tomorrow along with the rebels of the Ning family. So... don't waste my patience."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man walked out without looking back, and took away a group of followers. The palace was empty, and only Ning Wanyan's crying could be heard.
One sound, like a cuckoo weeping blood.
"There is still a bit of pity for me... and a little bit of pity..." Ning Wanyan held the chest that was kicked by Gu Hongwen, the corner of the woman's mouth was bleeding, she smiled miserably, and muttered to herself, feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
The only response to her was Gu Hongwen's indifferent back without turning his head.
Standing behind the pillar, Gu Huai watched his mother gradually stop crying and fell to the ground, laughing with her head up, he didn't understand.
At that time, he was just thinking that the father and the mother had quarreled, and the father was angry at giving birth to the mother.Maybe in a few days, everything will be fine, the father will still be the same as before, looking at the mother tenderly and tolerantly, and the mother will be as beautiful and graceful as usual, no longer sad and weeping.
However, the next day, when Gu Huai returned to the dormitory after morning class as usual, and wanted to tell his mother that he won the first place in the endorsement today, and that all the other princes and princesses were left behind by him, Pushing open the door, Ning Wanyan was alone, dressed gorgeously and neatly, with her back straight, sitting in the hall, her eyes were empty, as if she didn't see Gu Huai coming in at all.
"Mother, today Huai'er won the first class in the morning class, and the teacher exaggerated me again, saying that in the future, I will be the talent for governing the country and the quality of a wise king."
When he was young, Gu Huai's voice was clear and clean like a spring, his black eyes looked at Ning Wanyan who was sitting high above the palace, and there was a faint look of anticipation, as if he was waiting for Ning Wanyan's exaggeration.
The woman raised her head, staring closely at the entrance of the palace, without leaving any eyes for Gu Huai, as if she was waiting for something.
"Mother, the teacher said today that Huai'er will be a very good emperor in the future..." Gu Huai lowered his head and said in a low voice: "In the future, when Huai'er is the emperor, don't let anyone bully the mother, don't let the mother cry, you Say yes..."
But what responded to Gu Huai was still a suffocating silence.
squeak-
The gate of the palace was pushed open by the palace servants, and the dark interior of the palace was illuminated by the sudden influx of light from outside. Ning Wanyan stood up abruptly, walked down the stairs quickly, and passed Gu Huai directly, without even looking at him. With one glance, he went straight to the palace man who pushed the door in.
"How is it? Tell me how it is?"
Ning Wanyan's voice was a little trembling, and she stared at the palace man firmly.
Today is the day when His Majesty personally supervised and beheaded 180 members of Ning's family. Ning Wanyan was confined in this harem and was not allowed to leave half a step.
puff-
The palace servant suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, his voice trembling, full of fear.
"The Empress, please spare my life, the Empress, please forgive me...the Ning family...the 180 people in the Ning family...all of them were killed...the blood flowed like a river..."
Staggering back, Ning Wanyan's face paled in an instant, tears rolled in her eyes, the woman's nails were fiercely dug into her palm, but she still refused to let it fall off, she raised her head, and the jewels on her head made a crisp and pleasant sound, Ning Wanyan Biting her tongue politely, she forced herself to calm down.
"Tell me, the letter I asked you to send to His Majesty, did you send it?"
Ning Wanyan said that last night, in order to beg Gu Hongwen to give her father and mother, the entire Ning family had a way out, cut their fingers, and wrote a whole three volumes of writing, begging Gu Hongwen with blood and tears to raise their hands, and read it for the sake of the loyalty of the Ning family. , Let them live.
Hearing Ning Wanyan's question, the palace servants kneeling on the ground became more panicked, trembling, and replied shyly: "The slave gave it to His Majesty...but His Majesty didn't even look at it...and threw it into the fire... "
He didn't even look at it, so he threw it into the fire.
Hahahaha...
Ning Wanyan raised her head and laughed, but there were crystal tears in the corner of her eyes.
"Where's my father? Where's Mrs. Ning? Now... where is his body now... has he been buried?" With the last hope, Ning Wanyan stared closely at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and asked with a trembling voice road.
"Lord Ning...Master Ning..." The palace servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, "Your Majesty said...Lord Ning is trying to plot rebellion, in order to warn others...to separate Lord Ning's head from his body...the head was hung in the city... A public display at the door...the corpse...the corpse was dragged to be fed to the dogs..."
Staggered back.
Face as grey.
Ning Wanyan laughed loudly, but she couldn't restrain the pain in her heart, she fell to the ground and knelt on the ground, her eyes were red like weeping blood.The head was displayed to the public, and the corpse was fed to the dogs... Ning Wanyan knew in her heart that her father, the entire Ning family, would never have committed such treasonous and immoral things as treason. He had been loyal for a lifetime, but ended up like this in the end.
The emperor is ruthless, really ruthless.
Your Majesty, you are so cruel, so cruel...
Looking up and closing her eyes, Ning Wanyan took a deep breath and let the palace servants out.
Hearing the sound of the heavy palace door being closed, the woman slowly opened her eyes, which were bloodshot and extremely terrifying.
The young Gu Huai looked at his mother and concubine, clutching her chest and weeping bitterly, slowly stepped forward, walked in front of Ning Wanyan, and gently hugged the woman.
"Queen, don't cry, don't cry."
"Huai'er is the crown prince. When he becomes emperor, he will kill all those who make people sad, and protect his mother. Mother, please don't cry, don't cry, okay?"
Gu Huai raised his immature hand, trying to wipe away Ning Wanyan's tears.
When Ning Wanyan heard Gu Huai's voice, she trembled all over, raised her head, endured the pain in her heart, and looked at her son.
"Ah Huai, I don't have to wait for you to grow up and become emperor, now, as long as now... do one thing for my mother, okay?" Grasping Gu Huai's hand, the woman said tremblingly, "Go over there, over there There is a glass of wine on the table, and Ah Huai will bring it to his mother, can you bring it here?"
Gu Huai nodded without doubting him.In his young eyes, he seemed to be willing to do anything that could make his mother happy and smile.
Holding the wine glass, Gu Huai walked slowly, afraid that if he spilled it a little, it would make the queen mother unhappy.
Taking the wine glass, Ning Wanyan raised her head, stared deeply at Gu Huai, wiped away her tears, straightened her clothes and hair, Ning Wanyan forced a laugh, hooked the corners of her mouth, raised her hand and touched Gu Huai cheeks.
"A Huai, you go to the side hall to study first, and you are not allowed to come out if the queen mother doesn't call you, okay?"
Gu Huai nodded, and obediently turned his head and walked towards the side hall.
Watching Gu Huai's back disappear into his sight, Ning Wanyan's arm holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble.
This is the poisoned wine she had prepared to put there last night.
If His Majesty refuses to raise his noble hand and spare the life of the Ning family, then as the daughter of the Ning family, it is absolutely impossible for him to live alone.
Taking a deep breath, the gentle and kind-hearted woman who had given everything for Gu Hongwen all her life, at this moment, was sober and firm like never before.
As much as she loved Gu Hongwen, she felt so desperate at this moment.
He raised his head and drank the poisonous wine in his hand.
Ning Wanyan sat on the ground, straightened her body, and straightened her back. Even at the last moment of her life, she didn't want to be in any embarrassment.
Father, mother, politely said that I want to be clean and beautiful to see you.
boom--
The wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Ning Wanyan stared blankly at the wine glass that fell to the ground and fell into pieces, tears fell silently like a broken thread, the woman's eyes were empty, she choked up at first, and then laughed loudly.
In the empty, luxurious and exquisite palace, the woman's desperate laughter rang through the air, making people feel inexplicably desolate.
"Queen, what's wrong with you..."
Gu Huai, who stayed in the side hall but was always restless, hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up. The queen mother looked very sad. If there was someone by her side, she would feel much better, right?
Gu Huai always remembered that his mother used to hug him, and said with a smile that Ah Huai was her mother's most precious person.
With you here, the queen mother is not afraid of anything.
But when Gu Huai walked out of the side hall, the first thing he saw was Ning Wanyan lying on the ground, bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, his face was pale and lifeless, and it fell into pieces at his feet. wine glass.
Hearing Gu Huai's voice, Ning Wanyan was shocked.
Struggling to straighten up, the internal organs felt as if they were about to explode, excruciatingly painful, "Who made you...who made you come out...in...in..."
While speaking, Gu Huai had already walked in front of Ning Wanyan, quietly looked at his mother, and slowly squatted down.No matter how young and ignorant Gu Huai was, he had guessed something bad at this moment.
"Mother, don't die. When Ah Huai grows up, kill everyone who makes you sad, okay?" Gu Huai stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of Ning Wanyan's mouth over and over again.But more and more blood was wiped, and Ning Wanyan's aura became weaker and weaker.
When she was dying, Ning Wanyan smiled bitterly, stretched out her hand, trembling to caress Gu Huai's cheek, her smile was as gentle as usual.
"Ah Huai, promise your mother one thing... okay?"
"Mother has loved your royal father all his life, loved him all his life...but he only loves his throne, and his eternal kingdom..." Ning Wanyan looked at Gu Huai with red eyes, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes , looking desperate.
"But mother doesn't blame him, mother doesn't blame him..."
"Mother gave him all her love in her life, but she was ashamed of her own parents... Ah Huai, Mother doesn't blame him..."
"Ah Huai...don't blame him...he is your father...don't blame him..."
"The Son of Heaven is ruthless... Ah Huai, you promise mother that you will not be like your royal father... When you meet the person you love... you must trust her... protect her...don't let her be sad like Mother Like Mother...you promise Mother …promise…"
Before Ning Wanyan could finish her last sentence, she suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, her breathing gradually weakened, and she completely lost the breath of life in front of Gu Huai.
Gu Huai hugged Ning Wanyan, feeling the empress mother's body slowly getting colder and stiffer in his arms.The five-year-old child, even with blood on his cheeks, hugged his mother, his dark eyes were dark, but he didn't shed a single tear.
Until Gu Hongwen stepped into this palace.
"What's going on here? Why don't you send them away quickly after they're all dead? Are you putting them here to attract bad luck?" The Emperor Tianwei, who was in his prime, said a word, and the palace people in the palace fell to their knees.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... It's not us... It's really the little prince... He doesn't let us touch the Empress at all..."
Gu Hongwen frowned, staring closely at Gu Huai who was sitting on the ground holding Ning Wanyan's body.
"A Huai, you still haven't let go of your mother, do you want her to die without peace?!"
Hearing Gu Hongwen's voice, the child who had maintained the same posture for a long time with no expression on his face finally raised his head slowly and looked at his father.
"The queen mother is dead, father, did you kill her?"
As soon as the words came out, Gu Hongwen's face suddenly changed, he raised his hand and slapped Gu Huai hard on the face.
The little child didn't move, his head was raised, he didn't dodge or dodge, his black eyes were dark, he couldn't see any emotion, his face was expressionless, he was slapped by Gu Hongwen abruptly, and he staggered back a few steps, Gritting his teeth, he looked at his father and repeated again.
"Did you kill her? Father."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Hongwen turned around angrily, glared at the trembling palace people behind him, and shouted loudly: "What are you all doing? Pull him down now and lock him into the side hall without my order." Don't come out! Do you hear me?"
"A Huai, you are my hope for the future, so today, I will teach you a truth." Gu Hongwen's voice came from the top of Gu Huai's head, indifferent and strict, "The emperor is ruthless, anyone who stands in front of you and tries to shake you People in the position of the Son of Heaven must be eradicated without mercy! Your mother is too kind, which led to the current result!"
"Little prince... let's go with the servants..." Wiping tears, tremblingly took Gu Huai's hand, the palace people who have served Ning Wanyan for many years dare not say anything at this moment, the only thing they can do is hurry up Pulling Gu Huai away to prevent the queen's only child from offending Gu Hongwen.
Gu Huai did not speak, let go of Ning Wanyan's body in silence, and followed the palace servant obediently.
Gu Hongwen's eyes touched Ning Wanyan's corpse that was completely cold on the ground, and a glimmer of dark and complicated emotions flashed in the eyes of the high-ranking emperor, and then he quickly covered it, frowned, and shouted sharply: "Hurry up and carry the empress's body away!" It's bad luck to go down!"
Gu Huai, who was walking behind the palace servant, froze slightly.
He turned his head in silence, his black eyes were deep, and he looked at Gu Hongwen's back, showing no emotion.
The 11th year of Hongli in Southern Chu.
Gu Huai, the future prince, is only five years old and has undergone major changes.Empress Ning committed suicide in her dormitory. There were more than 180 people in Ning's family, and no grass grew, and no one was left behind.
And in history, this year will be the most important turning point in the life of Emperor Huai of Southern Chu.
13 is old.
After losing her mother and the shelter of her matriarchal family, Gu Huai, who should have been neglected and never recovered from a setback, has shown extraordinary talents since that year, gained Gu Hongwen's attention, and was even raised by the emperor. Daily care and personal training.
At the age of ten, he was established as the prince, and everyone expected him to return.
Everyone in the world said that Gu Huai, the crown prince of Southern Chu, was a rare talent for an emperor in the Southern Chu Empire in a hundred years.
"Your Highness, that matter... has come to fruition..."
The dark guard in black half-kneeled in front of Gu Huai, lowering his head respectfully. The 13-year-old Crown Prince in front of him is no longer the weak and innocent prince a few years ago. Ruthless, it is almost impossible to see that he is only thirteen, but it is more and more frightening.
Silently took the file from the dark guard, waved him to go down, and waited until he was the only one left in the study, then Gu Huai opened the file slowly.
The case of the Ning family extermination eight years ago.
Someone reported that the head of the Ning family recruited troops with the intention of rebelling against him. Gu Hongwen was furious and sent people to search. Sure enough, in the warehouse under the Ning family, he found tens of thousands of weapons, armors, and even a seal that could be faked. print.
The heart of disobedience is obvious.
But what is recorded in this dossier is completely different from the truth known to everyone back then.
Gu Huai slowly raised the corners of his lips, but his smile made people feel uncontrollable chills all over his body.
The Ning family has produced queens for two consecutive dynasties, and their power is overwhelming.
Although the family is full of loyalty, they can't help the emperor's suspicion.Loyalty now does not mean loyalty in the future. With the current power of the Ning family, if one day they really have the heart of disobedience, then it will be impossible to guard against.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
As long as there is suspicion in the heart of the emperor's balance, then, no matter whether it is true or not, everything is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
The person who sent people to report the Ning family was Gu Hongwen, the person who put eyeliner and put in the armor and weapons was Gu Hongwen, sent people to search, and the person who became furious was Gu Hongwen, who personally supervised the beheading, and watched more than 180 loyal family members of the Ning family The one whose heads fell to the ground was also Gu Hongwen.
In Gu Huai's mind, he suddenly recalled the way Ning Wanyan was crying and laughing, touching his face, saying that she didn't blame her, and the woman sprayed blood directly on his face, feeling warm and salty.
Since Ning Wanyan died by suicide, Gu Huai grew up completely overnight.
A five-year-old child lost his mother and his family, and in such a nest of wolves and tigers, with ulterior motives and ulterior motives, in a deep palace, one foot is deep and the other foot is shallow.
Gu Huai had sworn at that time that he must go to the highest and highest position in this palace. He wanted to see if standing here could be completely cold-blooded and ruthless, and he could sacrifice everything.
Mother, do you remember that I once said that one day if I grow up, I will kill all the people who make you sad for you.
Gu Huai tightly held the file in his hand, his dark eyes were deep, and the aura around the young man was inexplicably cold.
On that day, Gu Huai was alone in the study for a long time. He kept thinking that after losing his mother all these years, he was walking alone in this huge palace and in the quagmire of bottomless conspiracy. Struggling, doing all of this, what is it for.
In the beginning, he just wanted to find out the truth about his mother's tragic death. Now, after eight years of struggle, painstaking efforts, and exhaustive calculations, the answer he found made Gu Huai feel chills that he had never felt before.
Mother doesn't blame him... Mother doesn't blame him...
Ning Wanyan was kind all her life, if she knew all of this, it was all caused by Gu Hongwen, who she would rather die than blame, and use her own blood and life to atone for him.Gu Huai closed his eyes slightly, Empress, Ah Huai really wants to know, do you regret it or not?
15 is old.
Same location, same hidden guard.
Gu Huai sat high in front of the desk, becoming more and more elusive.
"You mean, Gu Yuan was seriously injured and died in battle." The young prince frowned slightly, and a flash of regret flashed in his eyes.
The dark guard bowed and nodded, "After Princess Gu learned that the lord died in battle, last night... she couldn't take the blow... she hanged herself... the only little son in the house, it is said that she watched her mother hang herself..."
The dark guard, who had always been taciturn and reticent, couldn't bear it at this moment, and sighed, "The child who has always been pampered has undergone such a drastic change. His father died in battle, and his mother died in front of his eyes. I'm afraid it's..."
Watching my own mother hang herself from a beam...
After repeating the last sentence, Gu Huai's expression became more and more serious.
Realizing that what he said just now seems to have touched Gu Huaizhi's past affairs, the guard was instantly startled, regretted secretly, took two steps back and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, I have no other intentions..."
"Go out." Waving his hand to signal the hidden guard to go down, Gu Huai raised his head and closed his eyes slightly.
If he remembers correctly, the young son of the God of War Mansion is probably 13 years old this year.
late at night.
Prince Gu Huai paid a visit to Gu Hongwen.
Sitting casually in front of the couch without changing clothes, Gu Hongwen patted the seat beside him and motioned for Gu Huai to sit beside him.In recent years, although Gu Huai has grown more and more excellent and more and more in line with the requirements of the successor of the Southern Chu Dynasty in his mind, somehow, Gu Hongwen always vaguely feels that there seems to be always a relationship between him and Gu Huai. What is separated by a layer is unclear, but it really exists.
"It's so late, come to me, what's the matter?"
Gu Huai stood where he was, about three steps away from Gu Hongwen, with complex emotions in his black eyes, looking at his aloof father.
"My son just heard that the Seventh King Uncle died in battle, so I came here to see my father, for fear that my father would be sad."
Hearing Gu Huai's words, Gu Hongwen was embarrassed for a moment, paused, coughed, and raised his head to look at Gu Huai, with a sad and regretful expression on his face at this moment.
"That's right, Gu Yuan and I grew up together. He is the God of War in Southern Chu, and he is also my right-hand man. At this moment, he died in battle, which means that Nanchu lacks a barrier... If you don't come, I'm afraid Even tonight, I will also have trouble sleeping and eating, and it is difficult to fall asleep."
Gu Hongwen sighed deeply, but Gu Huai's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of sarcasm quickly flashed across them.
Having trouble sleeping
I'm afraid that Uncle Qi Wang died in battle, the happiest person is his father, right?
Covering up all his emotions, Gu Huai slowly raised the corners of his lips, and met Gu Hongwen's gaze, "My son heard that Uncle Seven King died in battle, and his only bloodline was helpless, so I came here to ask for an order, and I hope that the emperor can Please be kind and bring him into the palace, it can not only take care of the orphan of the seventh uncle, but also show the benevolence and kindness of the father."
welcome into the palace
Gu Hongwen's expression changed, Gu Huai saw it, and did not urge him.He knew that Gu Hongwen was weighing the stakes.Summoning Gu Ruofan into the palace was whether it was raising a tiger or showing righteousness.
After weighing several times in his heart, a complicated and indescribable light flashed in Gu Hongwen's eyes, but he spoke with the same righteousness as before.
"Ah Huai has really grown up, and knows to share my worries. You are right, the seventh brother died in battle, and the God of War Mansion is now depleted. His only son, I really should call him into the palace , raised him like his own son.”
Waving his sleeves and standing up, Gu Hongwen called the eunuch who was taking care of him to come in without hesitation.
"Decree, call Gu Ruofan, the son of Gu Yuan, into the palace. From now on, the son of the world will be like a fan by my side, like a parent and son. When he grows up, he will inherit his father's throne and become our God of War in Southern Chu, and promote his family tradition!"
Raising his eyebrows, after Gu Huai achieved his goal, he nodded and left Gu Hongwen's bedroom straight away.
On the way back, the huge palace was brightly lit, there were neat guards with knives and armor patrolling, and there were also palace people who bowed and lowered their eyebrows and carried lanterns in a hurry to and fro.
Gu Huai was dressed in a black robe, and half of his face was almost hidden in the darkness. The young man had sharp edges and corners, and his whole body was indifferent.
Slightly raising his head, Gu Huai looked at the dark blue sky above the palace, as if he was talking to the palace people behind him, or talking to himself.
"Tell me...that Gu Ruofan...how does he feel now?"
It's the same as I was back then, painful, irritable, and eager to destroy the world.
Still fear, fear, feel that the world has abandoned him
Chapter 119 Restoring Memory 2
Ding--
The lights in the operating room finally went out, Li Xin, Luo Hao, Mo Xiangnan, He Ran, and An Yarong swarmed up, "Doctor, how are you? How are you?"
After a moment of silence, the doctor took off his mask, scanned everyone's faces, and finally said, "Which of you is Xiaofan?"
An Yarong's body trembled slightly, she turned her head, and looked at Gu Ruofan who was sitting in the corridor of the hospital with empty eyes, without any movement for more than ten hours, as if her entire soul had been taken away from her.
"Xiaofan...the doctor called you..."
Slowly regaining consciousness, Gu Ruofan straightened his back, stood up, and looked at the doctor who just came out of the operating room.
"Are you Xiaofan?" The doctor shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Gu Ruofan's shoulder, "His gunshot wound was very serious, it passed through the lower third of the heart, and he lost all his life during the operation Physical symptoms, later our nurses heard him call Xiaofan during the rescue process, the voice was very low, but he called two or three times. Later, when life stopped, the nurses also had a ten-thousandth expectation to give it a try. He calls Xiaofan in his ear."
The doctor's eyes fell on Gu Ruofan's pale face, "We were thinking that maybe it was someone very important that made him pass out and still miss him like this. Who knew that his heartbeat began to fluctuate at that time."
An Yarong was shocked when she heard the words, and grabbed the doctor's hand, "Does that mean that Ah Huai is out of danger now? Is he all right?"
Under the tense eyes of everyone, the doctor slowly shook his head, "Whether you can wake up now... It is also difficult for us to guarantee you. It may be a week, or it may be a year, or even longer."
An Yarong took a staggered step and almost fell to the ground. Luo Hao quickly supported her with quick eyesight and helped An Yarong to calm down a little bit.Even so, An Yarong's eyes were red, her lips trembled, and she was speechless.
Looking at Gu Ruofan who had been standing by the side without speaking, the doctor sighed slightly, "Just now everyone thought that the patient could not be saved at all, the nurse called Xiaofan next to his ear, and on the vital sign detector, the heartbeat was slow Slowly there were fluctuations. So I thought... Maybe if you could talk to him more, maybe he would wake up faster."
After speaking and explaining some precautions, the doctor left.
Gu Huai is still in a dangerous period. Except for the operating room being directly transferred to the intensive care unit, everyone can only stay outside and wait.An Yarong looked at Gu Ruofan who hadn't said a word for nearly thirteen hours, and her heart felt like a knife.
"Auntie, otherwise let's take you home first." Mo Xiangnan glanced at Gu Ruofan, and said to An Yarong: "Ah Huai's operation has been completed, we can't go in to see him now, it's so late, Let's take you back first and have a good rest."
As he spoke, Mo Yaolian's eyes were a little red, and he paused, "As for Ah Huai... let Xiaofan watch."
Nodding, An Yarong stepped forward and hugged Gu Ruofan's extremely thin body, only to realize that the boy's body was still trembling slightly until now.
"Xiaofan... Mom doesn't blame you... I don't blame you, Ah Huai... He loves you too much... You stay with him, stay with him... Let him wake up early... You two are good... Be good..."
At the end, An Yarong couldn't continue, patted Gu Ruofan on the shoulder, and left with Mo Xiangnan.
"Let's go too." Li Xin pushed his glasses and looked at Luo Hao.
Luo Hao looked at Gu Huai who was lying inside, with a rough voice and red eyes, turned his head away, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists, "I won't go! I want to stay here with the boss!"
Indifferent eyes that could not see the slightest emotion swept across Luo Hao's face, Li Xin suppressed the anger in his heart, and raised his head slightly, "Don't you think it's messy enough? Let me go now!"
"The boss is seriously injured now, we still have a lot to do."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Hao took a few breaths and slammed his fists against the wall, "Let's go!"
Luo Hao walked in front, Li Xin stood in front of Gu Ruofan, and stopped, "Young master, I hope you can take care of yourself. If the boss is awake, I think he will not be willing to see you like this."
After a pause, Li Xin's gaze shifted to Gu Huai who was in the ward, and a certain light flashed through the eyes under the lens, "We all believe that Boss will definitely wake up."
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Xin didn't say anything more, and walked out of the hospital with long legs.As he said, they still have a lot to do, for example, solve Mu Yan.
The footsteps got farther and farther away, until Li Xin Luo Hao's back finally disappeared from his sight.
Gu Ruofan supported the wall, and was able to restrain his trembling body to calm down.
He raised his head, wrinkled his face, and looked at the glaring incandescent lights on the ceiling with red eyes in embarrassment. Finally, he couldn't hold back his tears, and they burst into tears.The long hospital corridor was very quiet. Gu Ruofan stood at the door of the intensive care unit, tears streaming down his face, whimpering like a small animal.
When he was kidnapped by Huo Qingyu and held a gun to his head, he didn't cry.
He didn't cry when he was hungry for three full days and felt like he was going to die.
Seeing Gu Huai being shot, and being slapped on the face by Gu Weiguo outside the operating room, he didn't cry either.
But when he was alone now, standing outside the intensive care unit, seeing Gu Huai's body full of tubes and lifeless, he couldn't help crying.
The doctor said that when Gu Huai's heartbeat stopped and he didn't even respond to the electric shock, he would feel it when he heard the word Xiaofan.
How much you love me.
Just how much you love me, you can kneel down to others without hesitation for me.
It is because of how much you love me that you will be shot by others for me like now.
It's because you love me so much that you don't even have any memory, and you still can't help being with me.
Gu Huai, wake up quickly, wake up, and tell me how much you love me, okay?
good or not?
----
Southern Chu.
Seeing Gu Ruofan's completely cold body, Huo Qingyu squatted down slowly, stretched out his hand, dipped a drop of the man's still warm blood, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.
finally died.
Gu Ruofan finally died.
The man in the purple robe and jade belt stood up slowly, pulled out the black ice, looked at Gu Ruofan's body with venomous eyes, and said slowly: "Come on, take the body of the Seventh Prince down for me so that it can be buried safely." .”
The eunuchs who entered in response saw the blood all over the bedroom and Gu Ruofan's body that had completely lost all vitality, their faces turned pale with fright, and they fell to their knees with a plop, "Prime Minister Huo... Seventh Prince... What's wrong with Seventh Prince? "
Huo Qingyu held the black ice in his hand, blood flowed down the blade, drop by drop, dripping onto the floor, with a smile in his eyes, as gentle and elegant as usual, he looked at the palace eunuchs and signaled them to get up.
"He's dead, so now you have to carry him away, send him down, and bury him properly."
"The Seventh Prince... But the Seventh Prince and Your Majesty... Your Majesty is back... If you know the Seventh Prince..." The servants at the side were completely incoherent and unable to utter a complete sentence.
boom--
Kicking the eunuch in the heart, Huo Qingyu's expression suddenly sank, and he stared at the eunuch closely, "I told you to carry him down for a good burial, didn't you all hear?"
It wasn't until someone carried Gu Ruofan's body out that Huo Qingyu held the sword, sat where Gu Ruofan usually sat, with a smile in his eyes, raised his hand to stroke Xuanbing's sword.
Gu Huai will return in triumph tomorrow.
If he continues to be indecisive and keep Gu Ruofan alive, then how can Gu Huai look at him for the rest of his life?Huo Qingyu stretched out his hand and rubbed Xuanbing's sword over and over again, with a weird and fanatical smile.
Three months ago, the eve before Gu Huai was about to put on his armor and set off in command——
In Nuo Da's palace, there were no palace officials holding lamps, it was pitch black, and the moon above the head stretched people's shadows very long.
Every time Gu Huai took a step, he could hear his own footsteps, as well as the rustling sound of his robes rubbing against each other.
Looking condescendingly at Huo Qingyu who was kneeling on the ground, the young emperor frowned slightly.
"What are you still doing here?"
Hearing Gu Huai's voice, Huo Qingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly
Ning Wanyan firmly grasped Gu Hongwen, looked up at the emperor she had loved all her life, her heart was like a knife, the woman burst into tears, crying blood, just wanting to get the man in front of her to feel sorry for him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The Ning family is a loyal family, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a rebellious thing! Your Majesty, I beg you, my concubine, please see that after all these years in the Ning family, you have finally been loyal to Nanchu. For the sake of it, let them live, Your Majesty..."
"The concubine is willing to guarantee with his life that we, the Ning family, are absolutely loyal to Nanchu! Your Majesty, the concubine begs you... How can you trust such a method of framing..."
Gu Hongwen turned his head, frowned tightly, and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground who was not at all the demeanor of the Queen of Nanchu. A trace of disgust and impatience flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, I am so stupid that I can't even Wronged loyal ministers?"
Flicking his sleeves in rage, Gu Hongwen stared closely at Ning Wanyan, with a cold voice, "The entire Ning family is plotting rebellion and shaking our country in Southern Chu. The death penalty is unforgivable! If you say one more word, even you...I In the Southern Chu Palace, there are so many people who want to climb to the position of empress!"
The woman's eyes were wide open, her eyes were red, and she couldn't speak, so she grabbed Gu Hongwen's sleeve tightly and shook her head desperately.
For so many years, the Ning family has devoted all their energy to Nanchu. She stayed in the harem and gave birth to children for the man in front of her. How could he be so cruel now? How could he? !
boom--
Ning Wanyan grasped it very tightly, Gu Hongwen felt impatient, he raised his foot, and kicked directly on the woman's chest fiercely.
Without looking back, with his back to Ning Wanyan who fell to the ground and wept bitterly, Gu Hongwen's voice was cold and there was no room for change.
"Queen, if it wasn't for the fact that I still have such sympathy for you, you would be executed tomorrow along with the rebels of the Ning family. So... don't waste my patience."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man walked out without looking back, and took away a group of followers. The palace was empty, and only Ning Wanyan's crying could be heard.
One sound, like a cuckoo weeping blood.
"There is still a bit of pity for me... and a little bit of pity..." Ning Wanyan held the chest that was kicked by Gu Hongwen, the corner of the woman's mouth was bleeding, she smiled miserably, and muttered to herself, feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
The only response to her was Gu Hongwen's indifferent back without turning his head.
Standing behind the pillar, Gu Huai watched his mother gradually stop crying and fell to the ground, laughing with her head up, he didn't understand.
At that time, he was just thinking that the father and the mother had quarreled, and the father was angry at giving birth to the mother.Maybe in a few days, everything will be fine, the father will still be the same as before, looking at the mother tenderly and tolerantly, and the mother will be as beautiful and graceful as usual, no longer sad and weeping.
However, the next day, when Gu Huai returned to the dormitory after morning class as usual, and wanted to tell his mother that he won the first place in the endorsement today, and that all the other princes and princesses were left behind by him, Pushing open the door, Ning Wanyan was alone, dressed gorgeously and neatly, with her back straight, sitting in the hall, her eyes were empty, as if she didn't see Gu Huai coming in at all.
"Mother, today Huai'er won the first class in the morning class, and the teacher exaggerated me again, saying that in the future, I will be the talent for governing the country and the quality of a wise king."
When he was young, Gu Huai's voice was clear and clean like a spring, his black eyes looked at Ning Wanyan who was sitting high above the palace, and there was a faint look of anticipation, as if he was waiting for Ning Wanyan's exaggeration.
The woman raised her head, staring closely at the entrance of the palace, without leaving any eyes for Gu Huai, as if she was waiting for something.
"Mother, the teacher said today that Huai'er will be a very good emperor in the future..." Gu Huai lowered his head and said in a low voice: "In the future, when Huai'er is the emperor, don't let anyone bully the mother, don't let the mother cry, you Say yes..."
But what responded to Gu Huai was still a suffocating silence.
squeak-
The gate of the palace was pushed open by the palace servants, and the dark interior of the palace was illuminated by the sudden influx of light from outside. Ning Wanyan stood up abruptly, walked down the stairs quickly, and passed Gu Huai directly, without even looking at him. With one glance, he went straight to the palace man who pushed the door in.
"How is it? Tell me how it is?"
Ning Wanyan's voice was a little trembling, and she stared at the palace man firmly.
Today is the day when His Majesty personally supervised and beheaded 180 members of Ning's family. Ning Wanyan was confined in this harem and was not allowed to leave half a step.
puff-
The palace servant suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, his voice trembling, full of fear.
"The Empress, please spare my life, the Empress, please forgive me...the Ning family...the 180 people in the Ning family...all of them were killed...the blood flowed like a river..."
Staggering back, Ning Wanyan's face paled in an instant, tears rolled in her eyes, the woman's nails were fiercely dug into her palm, but she still refused to let it fall off, she raised her head, and the jewels on her head made a crisp and pleasant sound, Ning Wanyan Biting her tongue politely, she forced herself to calm down.
"Tell me, the letter I asked you to send to His Majesty, did you send it?"
Ning Wanyan said that last night, in order to beg Gu Hongwen to give her father and mother, the entire Ning family had a way out, cut their fingers, and wrote a whole three volumes of writing, begging Gu Hongwen with blood and tears to raise their hands, and read it for the sake of the loyalty of the Ning family. , Let them live.
Hearing Ning Wanyan's question, the palace servants kneeling on the ground became more panicked, trembling, and replied shyly: "The slave gave it to His Majesty...but His Majesty didn't even look at it...and threw it into the fire... "
He didn't even look at it, so he threw it into the fire.
Hahahaha...
Ning Wanyan raised her head and laughed, but there were crystal tears in the corner of her eyes.
"Where's my father? Where's Mrs. Ning? Now... where is his body now... has he been buried?" With the last hope, Ning Wanyan stared closely at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and asked with a trembling voice road.
"Lord Ning...Master Ning..." The palace servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, "Your Majesty said...Lord Ning is trying to plot rebellion, in order to warn others...to separate Lord Ning's head from his body...the head was hung in the city... A public display at the door...the corpse...the corpse was dragged to be fed to the dogs..."
Staggered back.
Face as grey.
Ning Wanyan laughed loudly, but she couldn't restrain the pain in her heart, she fell to the ground and knelt on the ground, her eyes were red like weeping blood.The head was displayed to the public, and the corpse was fed to the dogs... Ning Wanyan knew in her heart that her father, the entire Ning family, would never have committed such treasonous and immoral things as treason. He had been loyal for a lifetime, but ended up like this in the end.
The emperor is ruthless, really ruthless.
Your Majesty, you are so cruel, so cruel...
Looking up and closing her eyes, Ning Wanyan took a deep breath and let the palace servants out.
Hearing the sound of the heavy palace door being closed, the woman slowly opened her eyes, which were bloodshot and extremely terrifying.
The young Gu Huai looked at his mother and concubine, clutching her chest and weeping bitterly, slowly stepped forward, walked in front of Ning Wanyan, and gently hugged the woman.
"Queen, don't cry, don't cry."
"Huai'er is the crown prince. When he becomes emperor, he will kill all those who make people sad, and protect his mother. Mother, please don't cry, don't cry, okay?"
Gu Huai raised his immature hand, trying to wipe away Ning Wanyan's tears.
When Ning Wanyan heard Gu Huai's voice, she trembled all over, raised her head, endured the pain in her heart, and looked at her son.
"Ah Huai, I don't have to wait for you to grow up and become emperor, now, as long as now... do one thing for my mother, okay?" Grasping Gu Huai's hand, the woman said tremblingly, "Go over there, over there There is a glass of wine on the table, and Ah Huai will bring it to his mother, can you bring it here?"
Gu Huai nodded without doubting him.In his young eyes, he seemed to be willing to do anything that could make his mother happy and smile.
Holding the wine glass, Gu Huai walked slowly, afraid that if he spilled it a little, it would make the queen mother unhappy.
Taking the wine glass, Ning Wanyan raised her head, stared deeply at Gu Huai, wiped away her tears, straightened her clothes and hair, Ning Wanyan forced a laugh, hooked the corners of her mouth, raised her hand and touched Gu Huai cheeks.
"A Huai, you go to the side hall to study first, and you are not allowed to come out if the queen mother doesn't call you, okay?"
Gu Huai nodded, and obediently turned his head and walked towards the side hall.
Watching Gu Huai's back disappear into his sight, Ning Wanyan's arm holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble.
This is the poisoned wine she had prepared to put there last night.
If His Majesty refuses to raise his noble hand and spare the life of the Ning family, then as the daughter of the Ning family, it is absolutely impossible for him to live alone.
Taking a deep breath, the gentle and kind-hearted woman who had given everything for Gu Hongwen all her life, at this moment, was sober and firm like never before.
As much as she loved Gu Hongwen, she felt so desperate at this moment.
He raised his head and drank the poisonous wine in his hand.
Ning Wanyan sat on the ground, straightened her body, and straightened her back. Even at the last moment of her life, she didn't want to be in any embarrassment.
Father, mother, politely said that I want to be clean and beautiful to see you.
boom--
The wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Ning Wanyan stared blankly at the wine glass that fell to the ground and fell into pieces, tears fell silently like a broken thread, the woman's eyes were empty, she choked up at first, and then laughed loudly.
In the empty, luxurious and exquisite palace, the woman's desperate laughter rang through the air, making people feel inexplicably desolate.
"Queen, what's wrong with you..."
Gu Huai, who stayed in the side hall but was always restless, hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up. The queen mother looked very sad. If there was someone by her side, she would feel much better, right?
Gu Huai always remembered that his mother used to hug him, and said with a smile that Ah Huai was her mother's most precious person.
With you here, the queen mother is not afraid of anything.
But when Gu Huai walked out of the side hall, the first thing he saw was Ning Wanyan lying on the ground, bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, his face was pale and lifeless, and it fell into pieces at his feet. wine glass.
Hearing Gu Huai's voice, Ning Wanyan was shocked.
Struggling to straighten up, the internal organs felt as if they were about to explode, excruciatingly painful, "Who made you...who made you come out...in...in..."
While speaking, Gu Huai had already walked in front of Ning Wanyan, quietly looked at his mother, and slowly squatted down.No matter how young and ignorant Gu Huai was, he had guessed something bad at this moment.
"Mother, don't die. When Ah Huai grows up, kill everyone who makes you sad, okay?" Gu Huai stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of Ning Wanyan's mouth over and over again.But more and more blood was wiped, and Ning Wanyan's aura became weaker and weaker.
When she was dying, Ning Wanyan smiled bitterly, stretched out her hand, trembling to caress Gu Huai's cheek, her smile was as gentle as usual.
"Ah Huai, promise your mother one thing... okay?"
"Mother has loved your royal father all his life, loved him all his life...but he only loves his throne, and his eternal kingdom..." Ning Wanyan looked at Gu Huai with red eyes, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes , looking desperate.
"But mother doesn't blame him, mother doesn't blame him..."
"Mother gave him all her love in her life, but she was ashamed of her own parents... Ah Huai, Mother doesn't blame him..."
"Ah Huai...don't blame him...he is your father...don't blame him..."
"The Son of Heaven is ruthless... Ah Huai, you promise mother that you will not be like your royal father... When you meet the person you love... you must trust her... protect her...don't let her be sad like Mother Like Mother...you promise Mother …promise…"
Before Ning Wanyan could finish her last sentence, she suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, her breathing gradually weakened, and she completely lost the breath of life in front of Gu Huai.
Gu Huai hugged Ning Wanyan, feeling the empress mother's body slowly getting colder and stiffer in his arms.The five-year-old child, even with blood on his cheeks, hugged his mother, his dark eyes were dark, but he didn't shed a single tear.
Until Gu Hongwen stepped into this palace.
"What's going on here? Why don't you send them away quickly after they're all dead? Are you putting them here to attract bad luck?" The Emperor Tianwei, who was in his prime, said a word, and the palace people in the palace fell to their knees.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... It's not us... It's really the little prince... He doesn't let us touch the Empress at all..."
Gu Hongwen frowned, staring closely at Gu Huai who was sitting on the ground holding Ning Wanyan's body.
"A Huai, you still haven't let go of your mother, do you want her to die without peace?!"
Hearing Gu Hongwen's voice, the child who had maintained the same posture for a long time with no expression on his face finally raised his head slowly and looked at his father.
"The queen mother is dead, father, did you kill her?"
As soon as the words came out, Gu Hongwen's face suddenly changed, he raised his hand and slapped Gu Huai hard on the face.
The little child didn't move, his head was raised, he didn't dodge or dodge, his black eyes were dark, he couldn't see any emotion, his face was expressionless, he was slapped by Gu Hongwen abruptly, and he staggered back a few steps, Gritting his teeth, he looked at his father and repeated again.
"Did you kill her? Father."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Hongwen turned around angrily, glared at the trembling palace people behind him, and shouted loudly: "What are you all doing? Pull him down now and lock him into the side hall without my order." Don't come out! Do you hear me?"
"A Huai, you are my hope for the future, so today, I will teach you a truth." Gu Hongwen's voice came from the top of Gu Huai's head, indifferent and strict, "The emperor is ruthless, anyone who stands in front of you and tries to shake you People in the position of the Son of Heaven must be eradicated without mercy! Your mother is too kind, which led to the current result!"
"Little prince... let's go with the servants..." Wiping tears, tremblingly took Gu Huai's hand, the palace people who have served Ning Wanyan for many years dare not say anything at this moment, the only thing they can do is hurry up Pulling Gu Huai away to prevent the queen's only child from offending Gu Hongwen.
Gu Huai did not speak, let go of Ning Wanyan's body in silence, and followed the palace servant obediently.
Gu Hongwen's eyes touched Ning Wanyan's corpse that was completely cold on the ground, and a glimmer of dark and complicated emotions flashed in the eyes of the high-ranking emperor, and then he quickly covered it, frowned, and shouted sharply: "Hurry up and carry the empress's body away!" It's bad luck to go down!"
Gu Huai, who was walking behind the palace servant, froze slightly.
He turned his head in silence, his black eyes were deep, and he looked at Gu Hongwen's back, showing no emotion.
The 11th year of Hongli in Southern Chu.
Gu Huai, the future prince, is only five years old and has undergone major changes.Empress Ning committed suicide in her dormitory. There were more than 180 people in Ning's family, and no grass grew, and no one was left behind.
And in history, this year will be the most important turning point in the life of Emperor Huai of Southern Chu.
13 is old.
After losing her mother and the shelter of her matriarchal family, Gu Huai, who should have been neglected and never recovered from a setback, has shown extraordinary talents since that year, gained Gu Hongwen's attention, and was even raised by the emperor. Daily care and personal training.
At the age of ten, he was established as the prince, and everyone expected him to return.
Everyone in the world said that Gu Huai, the crown prince of Southern Chu, was a rare talent for an emperor in the Southern Chu Empire in a hundred years.
"Your Highness, that matter... has come to fruition..."
The dark guard in black half-kneeled in front of Gu Huai, lowering his head respectfully. The 13-year-old Crown Prince in front of him is no longer the weak and innocent prince a few years ago. Ruthless, it is almost impossible to see that he is only thirteen, but it is more and more frightening.
Silently took the file from the dark guard, waved him to go down, and waited until he was the only one left in the study, then Gu Huai opened the file slowly.
The case of the Ning family extermination eight years ago.
Someone reported that the head of the Ning family recruited troops with the intention of rebelling against him. Gu Hongwen was furious and sent people to search. Sure enough, in the warehouse under the Ning family, he found tens of thousands of weapons, armors, and even a seal that could be faked. print.
The heart of disobedience is obvious.
But what is recorded in this dossier is completely different from the truth known to everyone back then.
Gu Huai slowly raised the corners of his lips, but his smile made people feel uncontrollable chills all over his body.
The Ning family has produced queens for two consecutive dynasties, and their power is overwhelming.
Although the family is full of loyalty, they can't help the emperor's suspicion.Loyalty now does not mean loyalty in the future. With the current power of the Ning family, if one day they really have the heart of disobedience, then it will be impossible to guard against.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
As long as there is suspicion in the heart of the emperor's balance, then, no matter whether it is true or not, everything is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
The person who sent people to report the Ning family was Gu Hongwen, the person who put eyeliner and put in the armor and weapons was Gu Hongwen, sent people to search, and the person who became furious was Gu Hongwen, who personally supervised the beheading, and watched more than 180 loyal family members of the Ning family The one whose heads fell to the ground was also Gu Hongwen.
In Gu Huai's mind, he suddenly recalled the way Ning Wanyan was crying and laughing, touching his face, saying that she didn't blame her, and the woman sprayed blood directly on his face, feeling warm and salty.
Since Ning Wanyan died by suicide, Gu Huai grew up completely overnight.
A five-year-old child lost his mother and his family, and in such a nest of wolves and tigers, with ulterior motives and ulterior motives, in a deep palace, one foot is deep and the other foot is shallow.
Gu Huai had sworn at that time that he must go to the highest and highest position in this palace. He wanted to see if standing here could be completely cold-blooded and ruthless, and he could sacrifice everything.
Mother, do you remember that I once said that one day if I grow up, I will kill all the people who make you sad for you.
Gu Huai tightly held the file in his hand, his dark eyes were deep, and the aura around the young man was inexplicably cold.
On that day, Gu Huai was alone in the study for a long time. He kept thinking that after losing his mother all these years, he was walking alone in this huge palace and in the quagmire of bottomless conspiracy. Struggling, doing all of this, what is it for.
In the beginning, he just wanted to find out the truth about his mother's tragic death. Now, after eight years of struggle, painstaking efforts, and exhaustive calculations, the answer he found made Gu Huai feel chills that he had never felt before.
Mother doesn't blame him... Mother doesn't blame him...
Ning Wanyan was kind all her life, if she knew all of this, it was all caused by Gu Hongwen, who she would rather die than blame, and use her own blood and life to atone for him.Gu Huai closed his eyes slightly, Empress, Ah Huai really wants to know, do you regret it or not?
15 is old.
Same location, same hidden guard.
Gu Huai sat high in front of the desk, becoming more and more elusive.
"You mean, Gu Yuan was seriously injured and died in battle." The young prince frowned slightly, and a flash of regret flashed in his eyes.
The dark guard bowed and nodded, "After Princess Gu learned that the lord died in battle, last night... she couldn't take the blow... she hanged herself... the only little son in the house, it is said that she watched her mother hang herself..."
The dark guard, who had always been taciturn and reticent, couldn't bear it at this moment, and sighed, "The child who has always been pampered has undergone such a drastic change. His father died in battle, and his mother died in front of his eyes. I'm afraid it's..."
Watching my own mother hang herself from a beam...
After repeating the last sentence, Gu Huai's expression became more and more serious.
Realizing that what he said just now seems to have touched Gu Huaizhi's past affairs, the guard was instantly startled, regretted secretly, took two steps back and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, I have no other intentions..."
"Go out." Waving his hand to signal the hidden guard to go down, Gu Huai raised his head and closed his eyes slightly.
If he remembers correctly, the young son of the God of War Mansion is probably 13 years old this year.
late at night.
Prince Gu Huai paid a visit to Gu Hongwen.
Sitting casually in front of the couch without changing clothes, Gu Hongwen patted the seat beside him and motioned for Gu Huai to sit beside him.In recent years, although Gu Huai has grown more and more excellent and more and more in line with the requirements of the successor of the Southern Chu Dynasty in his mind, somehow, Gu Hongwen always vaguely feels that there seems to be always a relationship between him and Gu Huai. What is separated by a layer is unclear, but it really exists.
"It's so late, come to me, what's the matter?"
Gu Huai stood where he was, about three steps away from Gu Hongwen, with complex emotions in his black eyes, looking at his aloof father.
"My son just heard that the Seventh King Uncle died in battle, so I came here to see my father, for fear that my father would be sad."
Hearing Gu Huai's words, Gu Hongwen was embarrassed for a moment, paused, coughed, and raised his head to look at Gu Huai, with a sad and regretful expression on his face at this moment.
"That's right, Gu Yuan and I grew up together. He is the God of War in Southern Chu, and he is also my right-hand man. At this moment, he died in battle, which means that Nanchu lacks a barrier... If you don't come, I'm afraid Even tonight, I will also have trouble sleeping and eating, and it is difficult to fall asleep."
Gu Hongwen sighed deeply, but Gu Huai's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of sarcasm quickly flashed across them.
Having trouble sleeping
I'm afraid that Uncle Qi Wang died in battle, the happiest person is his father, right?
Covering up all his emotions, Gu Huai slowly raised the corners of his lips, and met Gu Hongwen's gaze, "My son heard that Uncle Seven King died in battle, and his only bloodline was helpless, so I came here to ask for an order, and I hope that the emperor can Please be kind and bring him into the palace, it can not only take care of the orphan of the seventh uncle, but also show the benevolence and kindness of the father."
welcome into the palace
Gu Hongwen's expression changed, Gu Huai saw it, and did not urge him.He knew that Gu Hongwen was weighing the stakes.Summoning Gu Ruofan into the palace was whether it was raising a tiger or showing righteousness.
After weighing several times in his heart, a complicated and indescribable light flashed in Gu Hongwen's eyes, but he spoke with the same righteousness as before.
"Ah Huai has really grown up, and knows to share my worries. You are right, the seventh brother died in battle, and the God of War Mansion is now depleted. His only son, I really should call him into the palace , raised him like his own son.”
Waving his sleeves and standing up, Gu Hongwen called the eunuch who was taking care of him to come in without hesitation.
"Decree, call Gu Ruofan, the son of Gu Yuan, into the palace. From now on, the son of the world will be like a fan by my side, like a parent and son. When he grows up, he will inherit his father's throne and become our God of War in Southern Chu, and promote his family tradition!"
Raising his eyebrows, after Gu Huai achieved his goal, he nodded and left Gu Hongwen's bedroom straight away.
On the way back, the huge palace was brightly lit, there were neat guards with knives and armor patrolling, and there were also palace people who bowed and lowered their eyebrows and carried lanterns in a hurry to and fro.
Gu Huai was dressed in a black robe, and half of his face was almost hidden in the darkness. The young man had sharp edges and corners, and his whole body was indifferent.
Slightly raising his head, Gu Huai looked at the dark blue sky above the palace, as if he was talking to the palace people behind him, or talking to himself.
"Tell me...that Gu Ruofan...how does he feel now?"
It's the same as I was back then, painful, irritable, and eager to destroy the world.
Still fear, fear, feel that the world has abandoned him
Chapter 119 Restoring Memory 2
Ding--
The lights in the operating room finally went out, Li Xin, Luo Hao, Mo Xiangnan, He Ran, and An Yarong swarmed up, "Doctor, how are you? How are you?"
After a moment of silence, the doctor took off his mask, scanned everyone's faces, and finally said, "Which of you is Xiaofan?"
An Yarong's body trembled slightly, she turned her head, and looked at Gu Ruofan who was sitting in the corridor of the hospital with empty eyes, without any movement for more than ten hours, as if her entire soul had been taken away from her.
"Xiaofan...the doctor called you..."
Slowly regaining consciousness, Gu Ruofan straightened his back, stood up, and looked at the doctor who just came out of the operating room.
"Are you Xiaofan?" The doctor shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Gu Ruofan's shoulder, "His gunshot wound was very serious, it passed through the lower third of the heart, and he lost all his life during the operation Physical symptoms, later our nurses heard him call Xiaofan during the rescue process, the voice was very low, but he called two or three times. Later, when life stopped, the nurses also had a ten-thousandth expectation to give it a try. He calls Xiaofan in his ear."
The doctor's eyes fell on Gu Ruofan's pale face, "We were thinking that maybe it was someone very important that made him pass out and still miss him like this. Who knew that his heartbeat began to fluctuate at that time."
An Yarong was shocked when she heard the words, and grabbed the doctor's hand, "Does that mean that Ah Huai is out of danger now? Is he all right?"
Under the tense eyes of everyone, the doctor slowly shook his head, "Whether you can wake up now... It is also difficult for us to guarantee you. It may be a week, or it may be a year, or even longer."
An Yarong took a staggered step and almost fell to the ground. Luo Hao quickly supported her with quick eyesight and helped An Yarong to calm down a little bit.Even so, An Yarong's eyes were red, her lips trembled, and she was speechless.
Looking at Gu Ruofan who had been standing by the side without speaking, the doctor sighed slightly, "Just now everyone thought that the patient could not be saved at all, the nurse called Xiaofan next to his ear, and on the vital sign detector, the heartbeat was slow Slowly there were fluctuations. So I thought... Maybe if you could talk to him more, maybe he would wake up faster."
After speaking and explaining some precautions, the doctor left.
Gu Huai is still in a dangerous period. Except for the operating room being directly transferred to the intensive care unit, everyone can only stay outside and wait.An Yarong looked at Gu Ruofan who hadn't said a word for nearly thirteen hours, and her heart felt like a knife.
"Auntie, otherwise let's take you home first." Mo Xiangnan glanced at Gu Ruofan, and said to An Yarong: "Ah Huai's operation has been completed, we can't go in to see him now, it's so late, Let's take you back first and have a good rest."
As he spoke, Mo Yaolian's eyes were a little red, and he paused, "As for Ah Huai... let Xiaofan watch."
Nodding, An Yarong stepped forward and hugged Gu Ruofan's extremely thin body, only to realize that the boy's body was still trembling slightly until now.
"Xiaofan... Mom doesn't blame you... I don't blame you, Ah Huai... He loves you too much... You stay with him, stay with him... Let him wake up early... You two are good... Be good..."
At the end, An Yarong couldn't continue, patted Gu Ruofan on the shoulder, and left with Mo Xiangnan.
"Let's go too." Li Xin pushed his glasses and looked at Luo Hao.
Luo Hao looked at Gu Huai who was lying inside, with a rough voice and red eyes, turned his head away, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists, "I won't go! I want to stay here with the boss!"
Indifferent eyes that could not see the slightest emotion swept across Luo Hao's face, Li Xin suppressed the anger in his heart, and raised his head slightly, "Don't you think it's messy enough? Let me go now!"
"The boss is seriously injured now, we still have a lot to do."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Hao took a few breaths and slammed his fists against the wall, "Let's go!"
Luo Hao walked in front, Li Xin stood in front of Gu Ruofan, and stopped, "Young master, I hope you can take care of yourself. If the boss is awake, I think he will not be willing to see you like this."
After a pause, Li Xin's gaze shifted to Gu Huai who was in the ward, and a certain light flashed through the eyes under the lens, "We all believe that Boss will definitely wake up."
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Xin didn't say anything more, and walked out of the hospital with long legs.As he said, they still have a lot to do, for example, solve Mu Yan.
The footsteps got farther and farther away, until Li Xin Luo Hao's back finally disappeared from his sight.
Gu Ruofan supported the wall, and was able to restrain his trembling body to calm down.
He raised his head, wrinkled his face, and looked at the glaring incandescent lights on the ceiling with red eyes in embarrassment. Finally, he couldn't hold back his tears, and they burst into tears.The long hospital corridor was very quiet. Gu Ruofan stood at the door of the intensive care unit, tears streaming down his face, whimpering like a small animal.
When he was kidnapped by Huo Qingyu and held a gun to his head, he didn't cry.
He didn't cry when he was hungry for three full days and felt like he was going to die.
Seeing Gu Huai being shot, and being slapped on the face by Gu Weiguo outside the operating room, he didn't cry either.
But when he was alone now, standing outside the intensive care unit, seeing Gu Huai's body full of tubes and lifeless, he couldn't help crying.
The doctor said that when Gu Huai's heartbeat stopped and he didn't even respond to the electric shock, he would feel it when he heard the word Xiaofan.
How much you love me.
Just how much you love me, you can kneel down to others without hesitation for me.
It is because of how much you love me that you will be shot by others for me like now.
It's because you love me so much that you don't even have any memory, and you still can't help being with me.
Gu Huai, wake up quickly, wake up, and tell me how much you love me, okay?
good or not?
----
Southern Chu.
Seeing Gu Ruofan's completely cold body, Huo Qingyu squatted down slowly, stretched out his hand, dipped a drop of the man's still warm blood, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.
finally died.
Gu Ruofan finally died.
The man in the purple robe and jade belt stood up slowly, pulled out the black ice, looked at Gu Ruofan's body with venomous eyes, and said slowly: "Come on, take the body of the Seventh Prince down for me so that it can be buried safely." .”
The eunuchs who entered in response saw the blood all over the bedroom and Gu Ruofan's body that had completely lost all vitality, their faces turned pale with fright, and they fell to their knees with a plop, "Prime Minister Huo... Seventh Prince... What's wrong with Seventh Prince? "
Huo Qingyu held the black ice in his hand, blood flowed down the blade, drop by drop, dripping onto the floor, with a smile in his eyes, as gentle and elegant as usual, he looked at the palace eunuchs and signaled them to get up.
"He's dead, so now you have to carry him away, send him down, and bury him properly."
"The Seventh Prince... But the Seventh Prince and Your Majesty... Your Majesty is back... If you know the Seventh Prince..." The servants at the side were completely incoherent and unable to utter a complete sentence.
boom--
Kicking the eunuch in the heart, Huo Qingyu's expression suddenly sank, and he stared at the eunuch closely, "I told you to carry him down for a good burial, didn't you all hear?"
It wasn't until someone carried Gu Ruofan's body out that Huo Qingyu held the sword, sat where Gu Ruofan usually sat, with a smile in his eyes, raised his hand to stroke Xuanbing's sword.
Gu Huai will return in triumph tomorrow.
If he continues to be indecisive and keep Gu Ruofan alive, then how can Gu Huai look at him for the rest of his life?Huo Qingyu stretched out his hand and rubbed Xuanbing's sword over and over again, with a weird and fanatical smile.
Three months ago, the eve before Gu Huai was about to put on his armor and set off in command——
In Nuo Da's palace, there were no palace officials holding lamps, it was pitch black, and the moon above the head stretched people's shadows very long.
Every time Gu Huai took a step, he could hear his own footsteps, as well as the rustling sound of his robes rubbing against each other.
Looking condescendingly at Huo Qingyu who was kneeling on the ground, the young emperor frowned slightly.
"What are you still doing here?"
Hearing Gu Huai's voice, Huo Qingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly
