The reborn prince is hard to raise

In the evening, Lu Chengning hadn't come back yet.The night in the early winter came very early, and before the beginning of the first day (19-21), lights were lit up around the palace, and the bright shadows of the lights swayed in the cold wind, making it a bit more hazy.

Gu Mingheng guessed that Lu Chengning would be kept for dinner by the emperor, so Gu Mingheng decided to go to the Leng Palace to meet the queen first, thinking that when he returned to the East Palace, Lu Chengning would also be back.Putting on the brocade and satin cloak with silver patterns, Gu Mingheng led Ayu out of the palace gate.

The weather was very cold, and Ayu walked on one side with the eight-treasure glazed palace lantern, and the bright light group illuminated the stone slab under his feet.The long wind in the distance blows from between the carved eaves and painted buildings, carrying a damp and cold air.The two walked towards the cold palace along a remote corner, but there was no one there.

Standing in front of the paint-peeled brown mahogany door, Gu Mingheng stopped in his tracks.He looked up at the palace room without a plaque, with a complicated look on his face.In the previous life, he and Lu Chengning were defeated in this power struggle, and in the end he died in the dungeon, and Lu Chengning's life was also in danger - but today, the past has been overturned.

There was a wry smile on his face. Although they won, he didn't know how they won.A long time ago, they felt the hostility from the queen, but judging by their power, they couldn't move her in the slightest.

But this time, Sangong wrote a letter, directly exposing the queen's evil deeds. The most surprising thing is that this time, Jinshang did not let go of his mouth, and with an unprecedented tough attitude, he abolished Xu's posthumous position and expelled him into the cold palace.

A few years ago, Madam Wu poisoned Lu Chengning's dietary soup, and the clues pointed to the queen, but the emperor covered it up so directly and hastily, and did not pursue it, which is completely different from this incident.

What is the reason for the huge difference in attitudes today?

At this time, there was a sudden "creak" sound from the wooden door, Gu Mingheng withdrew his thoughts, and saw Aunt A Jing standing behind the door, bowing towards him.She was dressed in plain clothes, which was very different from what she had seen in the past. She saluted and said, "The master saw that the time was approaching, so he ordered me to come to welcome the crown princess." She turned sideways, "Prince princess, please."

Gu Mingheng nodded, stepped up the stone steps, and made very light footsteps. The silver-patterned cloak swayed slowly under the cold wind, like the brilliance of the night.

Walking on the path in the courtyard, the light is a little dark, except for the light of the palace lantern in Ayu's hand, only the main house in front is lit.The rest of the palace had lit charcoal fires early on, but this cold palace had a desolate look and no warmth.

Although the Xu family of Chen Jun has not yet lost power, the people in the palace take care of the ups and downs, and it has always been the practice to praise the high and step down the low. Now, no one is showing courtesy to the deposed queen.

Isn't it the same after Lu Chengning was deposed in the previous life?

A cold smile flashed across Gu Mingheng's face hidden in the darkness, and a voice suddenly came to his mind - only allow the world to betray me, why not let me betray the world?

This is the most glorious and rich place in the world, but it is also the most ruthless place in the world.There has never been a lot of wronged burials and decapitated bodies.But there are still so many people going forward, rushing towards this ultimate right and benefit like moths to the flame, without stopping.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess has arrived." Ah Jing opened the door of the main house, stood at the door and reported softly.Lenggong is located in a secluded place, and the winter night is even more deadly. Ah Jing's voice is not high, but there seems to be an echo in this barren night, which adds a bit of chill.

"Please come in." A familiar voice came from inside the room. Without hesitation, Gu Mingheng ordered Ayu to wait outside the door, and stepped into the room.

The candlelight was dim, and Gu Mingheng stood silently beside the old screen, raised his hands and said, "I have seen my mother." His voice was extremely quiet, as if nothing in the world could stir his heart.

The candle made a "crackling" sound, and the flames danced, making Gu Mingheng's shadow cast on the wall sway.

Xu Qiwu raised his head when he heard the words, with sarcasm in his eyes, "Now that I'm wearing a crime, I can't afford to be a concubine."

"No matter what, you are His Highness's mother." Gu Mingheng raised his head slightly, looked at Xu Qiwu who was pointing at the needle and thread, and said.I haven't seen her for a long time, but she has lost a lot of weight, perhaps because she hasn't applied makeup, the wrinkles on her face are very clear, her eyes are still attractive, but she is less angry.

Gu Mingheng suddenly discovered that Xu Qiwu was nearly forty years old.The best ten years of her life were wasted within the palace walls, and what she got in the end was to guard the cold palace alone, guarding a lonely lamp and waiting for unknown death.

"Mother?" Xu Qiwu looked at Gu Mingheng's handsome face, gradually showing a hint of ridicule, she repeated these two words in a low voice, and suddenly raised the brocade clothes in her hand, "Princess, do you know what is embroidered in my hand? "

Gu Mingheng heard the words and looked around, and saw that what she was holding in her hand was a man's shirt, with a bright yellow background and dragon patterns embroidered on it—it was the prince's clothing.With his eyes narrowed slightly, Gu Mingheng immediately concealed his expression, but subconsciously confirmed in his heart that this must not be embroidered by Lu Chengning.

The guesses that had been hidden in his heart for a long time surfaced again, Gu Mingheng silently looked at the brocade robe that was extremely dazzling under the lights, and did not speak.

Looking at his expressionless face, Xu Qiwu put down the clothes in his hands wearily, then leaned on the bedpost, and glanced at Gu Mingheng, "Why, you have already guessed the truth, but you don't want to believe it?"

Before Gu Mingheng could speak, Xu Qiwu continued, "Actually, I never understood at the beginning why the one from the Qitian Palace would pass down an oracle ordering you to enter the palace as a princess. It is really unnatural for a man to marry."

As if taking a breather, she continued, "But after you entered the palace, I realized that you made me feel that you are not a young man at all. After only three years since you came in, you pulled out the nails in the East Palace one by one, and won the victory. Zheng Ruyuan's appreciation made him support Lu Chengning with all his strength. You also hold tightly in your hands the sons of the Xie family and the Mu family."

As she said that, she also sighed a little, "What surprised me even more is that you have gained Lu Chengning's trust."

Looking at the man standing upright under the lamp, Xu Qiwu seemed to have seen the past from him, "No matter how many years have passed, you are still the same as when you were married. His introvertedness is really eye-catching!"

She pulled the corner of her mouth again, "But you once suspected that Madam Wu in the East Palace was mine, right?" As if recalling some pleasant memory, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

"Yes."

"It seems that the two of us who claim to be smart have been tricked by others." The needle and thread in Xu Qiwu's hands moved intermittently, with a slight mockery, "Lu Chengning's position as the crown prince is really not easy."

Hearing her sigh, Gu Mingheng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad guess surfaced in his mind, and scenes from his previous life came to mind, "But—King An?" He felt his breathing tightened, and the two of Wang An When the word came out of the tip of the tongue, a bloody smell filled the whole mouth.

If Nanny Wu has always been King An's person, then——Gu Mingheng clenched his sleeves into fists, and felt panic spreading bit by bit.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to really think of him." Xu Qiwu looked at Gu Mingheng in surprise. For so many years, King An had placed Nanny Wu by his side, and he didn't know at all. If his father hadn't brought Xiner over a while ago, this She is afraid that she will not know these secrets in her whole life.

But Gu Mingheng guessed it.

"You are very good, very suitable for the court of the Tian family." Xu Qiwu said softly, unable to tell whether it was a compliment or a sigh.

"Thank you mother for the compliment." Gu Mingheng hid the shock in her heart, and her tone of voice was extremely gentle, but these words seemed to hurt Xu Qiwu, she suddenly sat up and looked straight at Gu Mingheng, her eyes suddenly turned red up.

Only now did Gu Mingheng realize that Xu Qiwu's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was having a high fever.

"If the emperor lived to this day, he must be as handsome as you, stand in front of me, and call me 'mother'?" She looked at Gu Mingheng fixedly, but seemed to be caught in her own emotions among.

"Who is 'Emperor'?" Gu Mingheng asked with a slight frown.When he came, he was thinking about what Xu Qiwu wanted to tell him.At this time, he suddenly felt that something was about to break through the fog in front of him, and all the unclear and doubtful points in the past would be solved one by one.

Thinking of this, my heart is extremely complicated.

"The emperor is naturally my emperor." Xu Qiwu raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, as if she had a headache, and she didn't go around the corner, "Although Lu Chengning is my son on the jade certificate, in fact, he is not my son. my child……"

As she said that, her expression gradually became crazy, she took two steps towards Gu Mingheng, and then smiled strangely, "Gu Mingheng, do you know how my emperor's son died?" Her expression was very scary, with The hatred and unwillingness that penetrated into the bone marrow, but they kept laughing, which was extremely frightening under the dim candlelight.

"He was strangled to death by his biological father!" She yelled violently, "He was strangled to death by his biological father... He was strangled to death..." As she spoke, her whole body shivered. He paused on the ground, as if his feet could no longer support the weight of his body, and the crying voice continued to come out, "Do you know that my emperor was strangled to death by the emperor... strangled to death..."

Her emotions seemed to have collapsed, she kept roaring loudly, her voice became hoarse, and she was about to cry blood.Gu Mingheng looked shocked. He looked at Xu Qiwu who was huddled on the ground and cried, and suddenly didn't know how to react.

Was the real queen's son strangled to death by the emperor himself?Gu Mingheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He mingled with his enemy every day, and watched Lu Chengning, who took the place of his own child, grow up day by day—how did she get here after all these years? ?

Gu Mingheng slowly squatted down, reaching out his hand to support Xu Qiwu's trembling shoulder, but he failed to touch it.Perhaps he is also a hostile person to her, and one of the murderers.

Curling his fingers, Gu Mingheng was about to withdraw his hand when he suddenly saw Xu Qiwu who was hugging his knee raised his head.

Her long hair was disheveled on her shoulders, her eyes were red with undisguised hatred, "Do you want to know who Lu Chengning's biological mother is?" She laughed at first, "Birth mother? Ha, Birth mother?"

He made a mocking sound, then lowered his voice, and said in a strange and authentic voice, "You know, he is a villain! His mother is a man! A man... how could it be a man... stole you from me Yes, it would be a man! A monster who is neither male nor female..." As she spoke, she screamed again, not knowing who she was talking to.

A name appeared in Gu Mingheng's mind. He stood up, looked at Xu Qiwu whose cheeks were flushed more red, and his mind was no longer clear. He turned around the screen and opened the door. at the door.

"Go in, mother..." Gu Mingheng stopped talking subconsciously, and suddenly realized that it was impossible to call her mother now, so he continued after a while, "She is not in a good condition, if you need an imperial doctor, you can take me." warrant to go."

Hearing this, Ah Jing nodded gratefully and saluted, then walked into the room quickly.Not long after, Xu Qiwu's crying became quieter, probably because he had been calmed down.

Gu Mingheng took a breath of the cold winter night, looked at the dark and vast night sky, and walked towards the way he came.

Ayu followed beside him, without saying a word, his expression unchanged.

When they returned to the bedroom, they saw that Lu Chengning had already returned.He seemed to have just showered, wearing loose pajamas, reclining on the couch, reading a book.His ink-like long hair was scattered on the couch, with a lingering dampness.

Gu Mingheng stood there looking at Lu Chengning, suddenly he didn't know how to face him.The mood is like a stormy sea, which can no longer be calmed down.

Before he calmed down, Lu Chengning had already spotted him.

"What's wrong with Ah Heng?" Lu Chengning embraced the cold Gu Mingheng into his arms, and rubbed his chin against his hairline, his voice was low and gentle, extremely gentle.

Gu Mingheng smelled the faint incense on his clothes and the steam that hadn't dissipated after bathing, suddenly his nose was sore, his throat was choked up, he shook his head, but couldn't make a sound.

Seeing his appearance like this, Lu Chengning panicked all of a sudden, he was no longer as calm and dignified as he was when no one came before him.

"What's wrong with Ah Heng? But where does it hurt? Or did someone bully you?" He asked repeatedly, seeing Gu Mingheng's appearance of crying, he was at a loss what to do.I don't know how to comfort him, my heart is full of anxiety.

Gu Ming saw his appearance very much, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head and said, "A-Ning, I'm fine." He took his hand with one hand and led him to the side of the couch, his expression gradually regained his composure, his mood She also calmed down, "Today the former Empress Xu came to see me."

Lu Chengning's expression did not change, but his breath suddenly became sharp, "But did she make you sad?"

Gu Mingheng quickly explained, "No..." He opened his mouth but didn't know how to tell Lu Chengning, he just looked at his handsome eyebrows and lost his mind.

"What did she tell you?" Seeing his hesitation, Lu Chengning sighed and pulled him into his arms again, "But about me?" Gu Mingheng, who has always been smiling calmly and calmly, almost cried Come out, presumably it must be about yourself, right?

Seeing him sad at first, I panicked, but now that I think about it, the fate still lies with me.

When the moon was in mid-heaven, Gu Mingheng finished talking in detail, and looked at Lu Chengning with some worry, "Would Ah Ning be sad?"

"Why are you sad?" Lu Chengning asked flatly, "In my life so far, they have never existed." He said with a smile, without any bitterness, "The memory of my childhood is very vague. I only vaguely remember the breath of Wu Moma. If you grow older, you will be the only one."

Seeing Gu Mingheng staring at him in a daze, he stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of his nose, and said in a gentle voice, "Ah-Heng is the only one in my life from beginning to end. As long as A-Heng is around, I feel at ease."

Three days later, news came from the Lenggong that the abolished Xu family committed suicide by hanging from the beam, and the maid A Jing died for the lord.
