NOVEL NEXT Chapter 55 - He Songfa
Two days later, He Songfa was also taken back to the Huiwang Mansion.
Gu Xingyun asked Wei Feng to take He Songfa to the study.
“The old slave has seen the prince.” He Song found Gu Xingyun and bowed to him.
Gu Xingyun helped him get up and asked, “Butler He, how long have we not seen each other.”
“It’s been three years. After the prince joined the army, he became more and more heroic, and he became more and more like Prince Hui back then.” He Songfa said with emotion.
“How many years have you stayed in the palace?”
“The old slave followed the prince when he was ten years old, and now he is thirty-five years old.”
“That’s when we grew up together.”
“Yes, the old slave is the servant of the prince.”
“How is your father treating you?”
“The lord has always treated the old slave very well.”
“So, you watched him be murdered and humiliated with your own eyes, did you run for your life?” Gu Xingyun suddenly put away the gentle greetings just now, and said sternly.
“Old slave…” He Songfa knelt down in horror.
He was afraid, and the scene he saw was so frightening. He was even more afraid that Concubine Wei and Tian Yuchen would find out and kill him, so he returned home and ran for his life. He thought that this matter would rot in his stomach until he died.
“Over the years, you have really been the chief steward of Prince Hui’s Mansion. In less than ten years, how many things have you sent out in the Prince’s Mansion?”
“Sir…”
It turns out that the prince has found out.
He Songfa’s face was ashen.
“Father, over the years, I have taken good care of you with the love of a young man in mind. I even made you the director of the Huiwang Mansion, making you the best of both worlds. Are you so greedy and cruel to repay him?”
“Yes, the old slave is guilty, I am ashamed of the prince…” He Songfa murmured, and then he went to Gu Xingyun crying and knelt down and said, “Sir, kill the old servant. The old servant is sorry for the palace, I am sorry for the prince…”
“Housekeeper He…” Gu Xingyun’s tone became warmer.
“I ordered someone to take you to the study. I didn’t punish you, I just remembered the love of the past. You are the one who grew up with your father, and you are the one who watched me grow up.” Gu Xingyun’s voice was carried shivered.
“Yes, the old slave is not a human being, the old slave is a beast, how can the old slave watch the lord die tragically. That is the prince who has served the old slave for thirty-five years, and that is the prince who treats the old slave with great kindness. …” He Songfa was even more ashamed when he heard Gu Xingyun’s words, slapped his face violently, and cried.
Gu Xingyun took He Songfa’s hand, looked at his tearful face and asked, “Would you like to follow me into the palace, tell the emperor the truth, be ashamed for the father Wang, and make the wicked woman Ling Chi?”
“The old slave is willing, willing to face the Holy Spirit, and tell the truth.”
“Okay. That being the case, the matter of you selling the utensils of the palace. This prince, let it go.”
“When the old slave tells the truth, I will go to the prince to make amends in person.” He Songfa has already lived a faceless life.
“Go down first, have a night’s rest, and bring you into the palace tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
Gu Xingyun went out of the study and instructed Wei Feng to arrange a room for He Songfa to live in. He didn’t need to be locked up, but he was not allowed to leave the Yihua Courtyard.
Gu Xingyun walked all the way to the ancestral hall and saw Princess Hui kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, offering prayer beads. She was plain white and had a thin back, but when she had just turned forty, her cyan silk was already gray.
Gu Xingyun felt sour in his heart, he wanted to hide from his mother and concubine. However, once the matter is revealed. Mother, she will know sooner or later. In that case, it is up to him to tell the mother and concubine himself.
He settled his mind and stepped into the ancestral hall. Called: “Mother concubine.”
Princess Hui did not stop Li Zhu’s hand, and was still chanting the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
Gu Xingyun walked to Princess Hui’s side and squatted down, silent for a while, and then said, “Mother, the father was indeed murdered by Wei Yuanyuan.”
The hand of Princess Hui Lizhu stopped. She turned to look at Gu Xingyun and asked, “How did you kill it?”
Gu Xingyun turned around Princess Hui’s body and held her hands in his palms. Then, with a sad expression, he recounted the whole story to her.
Princess Hui was already shivering, her eyes were lost, but big tears kept falling on the back of Gu Xingyun’s hand, with residual heat, but cold to the bone.
Gu Xingyun’s eyes were already reddish, and his voice was choked up. He gently hugged Princess Hui and said, “Mother, I will personally avenge my father.”
Princess Hui lowered her head, her forehead resting on his shoulder. Weeping, he said, “Your father, the king, was a soldier all his life, and he didn’t have his body wrapped in horse leather, but he died in such a humiliating way.”
Gu Xingyun finally couldn’t hold back his tears when he heard these words. He has not cried until now, but the words of the mother-in-law are too cruel…
“Mother concubine, I will bring He Songfa to the palace tomorrow.”
“Just based on the words of He Songfa, how can they be convicted?” Princess Hui burst into tears.
“I want to open the coffin for an autopsy.”
“I’ve experienced it once, no scars, no poisoning, nothing.” Princess Hui sighed.
“I want to ask for a caesarean section…”
“What did you say?” Princess Hui asked in shock.
“Mother concubine, we can only convict them by cutting open the father’s abdomen and letting the emperor see the snake!” Gu Xingyun explained.
“you…”
“Mother concubine? Mother concubine! Mother concubine… Come here, ask Dr. Fei to come over!” Gu Xingyun shouted outside the hall holding the fainted Princess Hui.
In the house of Jinseyuan, Doctor Fei has just finished the pulse of Princess Hui.
“How is Doctor Fei?” Gu Xingyun hurriedly stepped forward to ask when seeing Doctor Fei getting up.
“Princess has been weak for a while now. Just now, she was very angry and emotional. It caused her blood to surge up, and she fell into a coma for a while. I woke up and fed it with a prescription for soothing the nerves. I can’t let the princess be stimulated any more.”
“Yes, there is Dr. Labor fee.”
Gu Xingyun sent Dr. Fei away, and went back to the house to stay in front of Princess Hui’s bed. He had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn’t know for a while whether to enter or not to enter the palace tomorrow. Not only was he afraid of provoking his mother and concubine again, but he was even more reluctant to let the pair of snakes and scorpions go.
Gu Xingyun lay beside Princess Hui’s bed.
This guard lasted until noon the next day, when Princess Hui woke up leisurely.
“Mother concubine.” Gu Xingyun saw that Princess Hui woke up, and hurriedly ordered the maid to bring the tranquilizer that she had been warming by the side.
He supported Princess Hui against the bed and fed her mouth by mouth. After she finished drinking, she said apologetically, “It’s the son’s lack of filial piety that hurt the heart of the mother and concubine.”
“Go into the palace.” Princess Hui stroked his cheek and said calmly.
“Mother concubine?” Gu Xingyun’s face was filled with surprise.
“Rather than letting your father die in such a humiliating way, I’d rather you ask for an decree to have an anatomy and reveal the truth to the world.”
“Don’t worry, mother-in-law, and wait for the matter to come to an end. I will definitely ask the emperor for an decree and handle it myself, Wei Yuanyuan and Tian Yuchen.”
Princess Hui nodded, not wanting to say any more.
Gu Xingyun helped her lie down and left Jinseyuan.
