BXBX NOVEL Chapter 936
At first, he had always thought that it was the Empress Dowager who had sent people to kill him. Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he had also settled down in the village at the crossroads. Only then did he know that his twin brother had also not survived. It was definitely not his mother who had sent people to kill him.
Even his father didn’t know of his existence. Only his mother and brother knew. Then, it was self-evident who was hunting him down.
The Grand Empress Dowager looked at grandma Gu and said,”xianglan, tell me.” What happened after Yi ‘er came to your village?”
Grandma Gu didn’t think as much as Grandpa Gu. She told her everything Grandpa Gu had told her all these years.
When grandfather Gu was 14 years old, his illness had improved. That year, there was a natural disaster. Before the guards could send news back to the capital, they were hunted down.
In the end, the guard and his daughter died to protect grandfather Gu. Grandfather Gu escaped to Qing Province with the refugees alone.
He had been unconscious for two days and two nights at the back of the mountain at the crossroads Village. He had been rescued by grandma Gu and her daughter who had gone hunting in the mountains.
Grandpa Gu had been sick since he was ten years old and had always been very thin. He lied about his age and moved into the Gu family.
After two years, he married grandma Gu and became her live-in son-in-law.
Two years was enough for him and grandma Gu to fall in love, get to know each other, get married, and have children.
It didn’t take long for her to have her first son.
When she gave birth to her second son, the new emperor ascended to the throne. Grandmother Gu’s father died while hunting. Grandpa Gu knew the new emperor’s name, but he knew that it was not his younger brother. He could not figure it out.
He didn’t leave either. For the next few years, grandma Gu helped him gather information. She found out that his twin brother had died when he was 20 years old and had no children. So, the new emperor was chosen from the king.
At that time, grandma Gu had even asked him if he wanted to go back.
Grandpa Gu said that going back wouldn’t change anything. He would just stay here and raise his son well. He would let his son study hard and maybe one day he would be able to see his grandmother.
Just like that, grandma Gu gave birth to a daughter and a son, and the days passed by peacefully.
He had seen hope in second brother, but he did not expect it to be all for naught. More than ten years later, he saw hope again and succeeded.
“Mother, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you at that time,” Grandpa Gu couldn’t help but say.
The Grand Empress Dowager closed her eyes in pain. The rumors were indeed true, the final outcome of the imperial family’s twin sons was to kill each other.
Actually, she had already faintly thought of it, but her youngest son had also passed away from illness. What else could she do?
After a long time, the Grand Empress Dowager opened her eyes, which were filled with determination, ” “Yi ‘er, xianglan, don’t worry. I’ll make up for what I owe you all these years. However, the position of the Emperor is still vacant.”
Grandfather Gu waved his hand. mother, I’m not a talented Emperor. You brought up the Emperor yourself. It’s enough to have him around. It’s enough that I can see mother again in this life.”
The Grand Empress Dowager sighed,”fate plays with people!” Yi ‘er, how about I ask the Emperor to make you a King? For the hereditary throne, the second and fourth brothers will be given the title of Marquis, the third brother will be given the title of Princess, and the obedient granddaughters will all be given the title of junzhu.”
Grandpa Gu said,’aunt Xuanji, you’ve asked the Emperor to confer so many titles at once. Even if the Emperor is willing, the officials will not be willing. You’re just using the Gu family as targets!”
The Grand Empress Dowager’s imposing manner suddenly became imposing,”This is my ye family’s world. Who would dare to not be willing to reward my ye family’s descendants? The few types of grain that your family and the Zhou family grow together are beneficial to the country and the people. What would those old fellows dare to say about the title of Marquis? The Emperor hit it off with you, so what’s wrong with making you a King?”
Grandma Gu: ” old lady Xuanji, do you dare to say nothing and not find any excuses? just say that I want his family to be a King, a Marquis, a Princess, a Princess? ”
