Seeing Gu Jian beat the imperial guard with a wooden stick until he vomited blood, Wei Qi and Wu Jingyi's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but take a look at the old man in front of them again.

However, the next scene made the two people, no, everyone in the courtyard widen their eyes.

"Uncle, the guard didn't do it on purpose."

Uncle?

Who is the uncle?

Whose uncle?

Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi were a little confused, but Wei Qi and Eunuch An had genuine expressions on their faces.

The fifth master, who Gu Jian ignored, carefully removed the silver needle from Granny Gu's body, helped her up, and then walked quickly towards Daohua who fell at the door.

Grandma Gu was also worried about Daohua, and followed her tremblingly. After taking only two steps, her eyesight turned dark, and her body swayed for a moment, and then she felt a pair of strong arms holding her up.

Looking at Grandma Gu, Fifth Master's lips moved, and his eyes were very complicated. There were feelings of self-blame and guilt, joy and joy, but also heartache.

Grandma Gu didn't look at Fifth Master too much and walked quickly towards Gu Jian.

The fifth master had no choice but to help the old lady over.

"Is Daohua okay?"

Before she even got close, Granny Gu asked eagerly.

Gu Jian glanced at Fifth Master coldly: "You are a good guard."

He would like to see the two boys, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao, suffer a little. After all, boys are useless if they are not polished; but Daohua is a girl, delicate and delicate, how can she withstand the beatings of the guards?

Seeing the worry on her sister's face, she said softly: "It's okay, I just fainted, but I have to rest for a few days."

The guard's hand was quite strong. He took a look and saw that the back of his apprentice's neck was already bruised.

Grandma Gu: "Then why are you still standing? Take Daohua to Taohua Temple to rest."

Gu Jian nodded, but did not move immediately. He was holding Daohua and could not help his sister. For a moment, he was a little confused about what to do.

Sensing Gu Jian's embarrassment, Wu Ye, who was left standing aside like nothing, immediately said: "Mother, I'll help you."

Grandma Gu was a little startled when she heard the title of Fifth Master, while Gu Jian glanced at Fifth Master.

Both of them were silent, but did not speak out to object.

The other people in the yard have now turned into motionless statues.

Obviously, the word ‘mother’ is much more lethal than ‘uncle’.

Later, Gu Jian walked in front holding rice flowers, Wu Ye supported Granny Gu and walked behind, and the four of them slowly left Zhuangzi.

Eunuch An and Wei Qi immediately ran up and followed.

Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua looked at each other and followed, but when they reached the door, they stopped sharply.

Wei Qi protects the fifth master, and Eunuch An is at his side. It is their duty and reasonable for the two of them to follow him. But if they follow, they are suspected of inquiring into the fifth master's private affairs.

Then, the two of them saw Mr. Wu squatting down, carrying the old lady on his back, and then carrying her up the mountain himself.

Looking at this scene, Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua took a breath at the same time.

"The Governor Wu's family has lived in the capital for generations. Have you ever heard of the huge fire in Chengqian Palace in the 22nd year of Taixing?"

"Why don't you remember that the late emperor's favorite imperial concubine died in that fire?"

"I heard that in addition to the imperial concubine, one of the selected attendants also died?"

Wu Jingyi was stunned: "I don't know that."

The selected attendants are just palace concubines without rank. With the imperial concubine in front of them, who would pay attention to such a small person?

Wu Jingyi looked at Yang Chenghua inquiringly: "Why do you pay attention to the old almanac from decades ago?"

Yang Chenghua smiled and did not answer.

Why?

Although Jinshang is a wise king, as the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. In order to avoid violating taboos, he has spent a lot of time and careful consideration of Jinshang's preferences since he became an official.

During this period, he made a surprising discovery, that is, Jin Shang was not as close to the Jiang family as he showed. Once, he even saw Jin Shang showing murderous intent toward the Prince of Jiang.

After discovering this, he was worried for a long time. For the sake of his family's wealth and life, he forced himself to forget about it, but it turns out that God is not as good as man.

In the fifth year of Yongxing, Concubine Sheng De and Concubine Du Xian had miscarriages one after another. He was responsible for investigating the matter and discovered the secret of the previous dynasty in the Imperial Hospital.

It turns out that when the Queen Mother was still the Queen, there was an ancient servant in Kunning Palace who was pregnant, twice. He silently calculated the time according to the doctor's instructions, and he was just right for Prince Ping.

He still remembers how frightened he felt when he learned about this.

Today’s Prince Heping is actually not the Queen Mother’s biological child!

This is simply appalling.

Wu Jingyi glanced at Yang Chenghua, who was deep in thought, and secretly called an old fox in his heart. This old guy must know something inside.

However, he doesn't care.

Anyway, the outcome is already in front of him.

At this time, a guard came back carrying an eagle that had been stabbed through the throat.

"Fortunately, my subordinates are fast, otherwise, Hai Dongqing would have been asked to report the news."

Looking at the guards claiming credit, Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua glanced at the guards next to them with blood on their mouths, and looked sympathetically at the guard who shot the falcon.

The old man's temper is not very good, and the guard may suffer.

Wu Jingyi: "Take care of things here first so that no one can see anything is wrong."

Yang Chenghua pointed to Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao on the ground: "What should we do with these two stupid young people?"

Wu Jingyi sneered. If he dared to put a sweat towel in his mouth, he would make them lose their skin. Then he said to the guard: "Throw them into the mountains again."

Yang Chenghua didn't stop him, but he said: "You should take it easy, the old lady and the old man seem to be a little protective of their shortcomings."

Wu Jingyi didn't care at all: "Don't worry, when the guards attacked these two boys just now, the old man didn't say anything. Everything will be fine."

However, in order to avoid accidents, two guards were sent to 'take care' of it secretly.

......

At the same time, Peach Blossom Temple.

Gu Jian carefully placed Daohua on the bed, applied medicine to her, and then slowly went to the main room.

In the main room, Grandma Gu sat silently, and below, Master Wu was kneeling with his back straight.

Eunuch An stood far away from the door, not daring to glance into the house; Wei Qi hid directly outside the yard, responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings.

After Gu Jian entered the room, he didn't know what to say, so he just sat there without saying a word.

After a while, Master Wu took the initiative to speak: "My son has been looking for you two over the years."

Gu Jian glanced at him: "Do you know we are still alive?"

The Fifth Master nodded: "The two corpses that were burned beyond recognition left behind by the Jiang family, I knew they were fake after just one look."

Granny Gu sighed: "What if you find us?"

The fifth master's eyes were a little red, with unwillingness and resentment in his eyes: "My son will definitely be able to clear his mother's name."

Grandma Gu smiled bitterly: "Why did the Jiang family dare to take the risk to help you rise to power? It was expected that you could only have a maternal wife in the Jiang family. When the Chengqian Palace was burned down and the late emperor was poisoned, it was your uncle and I who did it ourselves. It was in the hands of the Jiang family.

As long as you hold this handle, you can't do anything to them."

Fifth Master took a deep breath: "I can't do it now, but one day my son will completely uproot the Jiang family."

Gu Jian was silent and did not speak. He also hated the Jiang family so much that he used his sister as a pregnant puppet, took away her child, and finally took her life.
