Chapter 174 The Mystery in the Puppet
Su Wan subconsciously ignored the former and thought about the intention of Xi Liang Kingdom, which was probably to form an alliance.
Gu Huaizhi analyzed in a low voice: "There was friction between the West Liang Kingdom and the Dongyang Kingdom. They were in a stalemate for a long time. Both sides sent envoys to negotiate at the border. Inviting people from other countries to watch the ceremony is probably to form an alliance."
"In December, the crown prince was appointed. The regent's body wanted to go, so he could only follow the normal schedule. It would take more than three months to go to Xiliang Kingdom, and he was about to leave. But his body did not allow him to travel far away immediately. After the poison is detoxified, he must go to Xiliang Kingdom without stopping, which will cause great harm to his body. "
"Huai Zhi, do you have any way to prevent him from going to Xi Liang as an envoy?"
Su Wan also had a selfish motive, and she quite sympathized with the regent. Watching the woman you love marry another man and have children. Not long after, the bad news came out, and it only lived in his heart from then on. More than ten years later, I suddenly heard that the beautiful woman was still alive, and there were other men beside her, with children around her knees.
Su Wan did not dare to imagine what would happen if the regent went to the Western Liang Kingdom and met the queen.
"If I go here and come back again, I'm afraid it will be early summer."
Su Wan felt sad, but hoped that the regent would let Qi Min go.
"The foster father knew what he was doing." Gu Huaizhi lowered his eyes. No one could reverse the decision made by the regent: "How is his health?"
"No problem."
"I'll take you back home." Gu Huaizhi pulled Su Wan up from the chair and tidied the broken hair on her forehead: "I will try my best to stop it."
"You don't have to send him off. I'll go back to the palace by myself." Su Wan left the Regent's Palace directly without delaying Gu Huaizhi's affairs.
Gu Huaizhi sent Su off to the carriage in the evening and returned to the main courtyard. After waiting for two quarters of an hour, the regent came out wearing dark clothes and wet hair casually scattered behind him. He gave Gu Huai a cold look and sat down with a big horse and a golden sword. On the couch.
"Are you here on a mission to Xi Liang?" The regent took a glass of water and took a sip, his face calm: "The other two countries are all members of the royal family, who will I send?"
A hint of sneer appeared on his lips: "Prince?"
Gu Huaizhi looked solemn. If the Queen of Xiliang was Qi Min, it would be inappropriate for the prince to go.
"Others are too mud to hold up the wall." The regent put the tea cup on the table, and looked at the fallen leaves outside the window with his dark and cold eyes: "I want to go to Xi Liang Kingdom."
Gu Huaizhi whispered: "Tingyuan can go to Xiliang as an envoy on behalf of his adoptive father."
The regent sneered: "Do you agree to it, Su Wan?" Before Gu Huaizhi could say anything else, he said decisively: "When I come back, I hope you will be the top scorer in high school."
——
Su Wan took a carriage back home. Just as she got off the carriage, she happened to see a carriage stop opposite and Cao Wanqing got off the carriage.
"Ms. Gu." Cao Wanqing called Su Wan softly and walked towards her: "Are you free?"
Su Wan saw that there was sadness lingering in her brows and eyes, and she looked extremely bad. How could she not know why she came here?
"Yes, come in." Su Wan invited Cao Wanqing into the house and went directly to the main courtyard: "Xiao Tao, let's have some tea."
Xiaotao brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of Su Wan and Cao Wanqing respectively.
"Today I would like to sincerely thank you for saving me." Cao Wanqing held the handkerchief with her delicate fingers, her face slightly pale: "One more thing, I received your letter yesterday, and I have a few questions in my mind. Ask Madam Gu to clarify my doubts."
Su Wan said nothing, quietly waiting for Cao Wanqing's next words.
"Suxue's aunt was my mother's dowry. When my mother was pregnant with me, she followed my grandmother's arrangement and gave Aunt Liu to my father. Aunt Liu got pregnant soon, and Suxue and I were three months apart in age. Aunt Liu was a very good girl. A quiet person, even if she gives birth to her father's child, will stay with her mother and serve her without fighting for it. My mother has a quiet and gentle temperament, and is kind to Aunt Liu. She treats Suxue as if she were her own. It’s all her fault.”
Cao Wanqing's nose was sore and her eyes were filled with mist: "She and I are not the same mother, but we grew up together and have a very close relationship. I can't figure out why she hates me so much and pays to kill me."
"Human desires are unlimited. Maybe you were too good to her and encouraged her ambitions." Su Wan didn't want to get involved in the Cao family's affairs, so she pulled her red lips and said, "Brothers become enemies because of power and interests. What else could there be?”
Cao Wanqing was speechless and tears fell down.
It hurts like my heart is being ripped out.
Although she had doubts at the time, she never doubted Cao Suxue.
I just felt that there was a traitor among the accompanying guards.
"Ms. Gu, thank you for reminding me." Cao Wanqing wiped away the tears on her face and said with sincerity, "You helped me twice. If you need help in the future, just ask me."
"I just need your help with something." Su Wan said without politeness at all: "You should resolve Cao Suxue's matter as soon as possible. Don't let her get in front of me. It's too annoying."
"I will tell my grandmother to arrange a marriage for her and let her marry far away. Before that, she will be grounded and will not cause you any trouble." Cao Wanqing was cruel, knowing that Cao Suxue had changed and became vicious. , determined not to leave anyone by his side.
She was glad in her heart that her father did not foolishly agree to her mother's proposal to adopt her as her legitimate daughter.
Although his father likes Cao Suxue, he knows that there are differences between legitimate concubines and concubines and they should not be confused.
Cao Wanqing looks like a weak woman, but she is not weak.
Cao Suxue still has to worry about getting married.
My father didn't like sibling fighting.
She wanted to choose a decent marriage for Cao Suxue, but in fact it was empty on the inside, making it impossible for her to turn around and make a comeback.
Cao Wanqing left a thank you gift, said goodbye to Su Wan, and left Gu Mansion with others.
Su Wan put her hand on her heart, panicking for no reason, as if something was about to happen.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Tao asked with concern, "Are you going to ask the doctor?"
"It's okay." Su Wan smiled and said, "Silly Taoer, I am a doctor myself."
Xiao Tao looked stunned.
"I'm just a little tired and want to sleep for a while. You can go down."
Su Wan waved Xiao Tao away, went to the inner room, and took out the little puppet.
Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Su Wan looked at the little man in her hand. He was chubby and wore only a small bellyband, which made him especially cute.
She poked her round belly with her fingers and hit the word "peace" carved on her bellyband. She made a slight sound and sank in. Her bare head fell off and rolled under the kang table.
Su Wan was immediately surprised.
The heads are not connected together? ?
Picking up the head, it was hollow in the middle, as if something was hidden inside.
Su Wan's heart suddenly beat like a drum. Somehow, she found a thin wooden stick and pulled out the thing stuffed in her head bit by bit. Only then did she find that it was a folded piece of paper.
