Chapter 529: Plainness is a blessing
Seeing Gu Ruoyu's haggard appearance, Li You felt deep sympathy for her in his heart, and he decided to investigate the matter secretly, he had already talked to Gu about it these days, but all the current evidence was all Gu side, and Li You couldn't believe it easily.
On this day, he sent to Shangzhou Yufeng Town to investigate the matter of the white tiger back, he said that there was indeed such a family of carvers in this town, they are sisters and brothers, not surnamed Gu but surnamed Qiao, sister is called Qiao Mengjie, younger brother is called Qiao, at the beginning of the ninth year of Wude, the then King of Qi Li Yuanji had lived in his house for a few days, and the legend was to take Qiao Mengjie to Chang'an, and then I don't know why I didn't go. The siblings rarely socialized with their neighbors, who did not know much about the situation in his home.
In the autumn of the first year of Zhenguan, a fire broke out in the courtyard of the sister and brother, and the two have not been heard from since.
These circumstances are the right ones for what the ancients said. As for why no one mentioned another noble son, according to the ancient saying, Li Shimin was secretly recuperating from his injuries back then, and they entered the town at night, and it was also at night when they recovered from their injuries and left, so no one knew that they had appeared here.
Li You consulted historical materials, Li Shimin did go to Shangzhou in the eighth year of Wude, and the time was comparable, and the person who accompanied him was Wei Chigong, and the appearance of the general described by Gu was also similar. Li Yuanji also went to Shangzhou back then, and the time was right.
Li You basically believed Gu's words, and he decided to find Wei Chigong again to verify what happened back then.
On this day, Wei Chigong was on duty in Jinwuwei, and he received a notice that His Royal Highness the King of Qi wanted to see him, so he arranged the work in the barracks, got on the horse and went straight to the palace of the King of Qi.
But as soon as he walked out of the gate of the barracks, he was greeted by another guard from the Qi Palace, and he said: "General, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has just left the Qi Palace, and he asked Xiao to inform you, and find another time to meet you." ”
Wei Chigong had no choice but to go back again.
Li You originally wanted to check with Wei Chigong about the ancient affairs, so he sent someone to inform Yu Chigong. However, he suddenly thought of another question, so he sent guards to inform Wei Chigong.
Qi Wangfu, study.
Li You asked people to call Gu, Gao Henian and Liu Feifu. He said to the white tiger: "No one is allowed to come near the study. ”
Seeing that there were only a few of them in the room, Gu knew that Li You was going to talk about Gu Ruoyu, and he looked at Li You expectantly.
Li You said: "Mr. Gu, Master Liu, Gao Henian, I have already sent someone to investigate what you said, and I believe that what you said is true." ”
Gu's tears welled up all of a sudden, and he cried: "Sister, you heard it, the prince has already found out what happened back then, Ruoyu's identity has been proven, and you can rest in peace in the spirit of heaven." Whining. ”
Gao Henian and Liu Feixu were also very excited, saying some words of happiness.
Gu cried for a while, and asked excitedly: "Lord Wang, when will you restore your identity for Ruoyu?" ”
Li You shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. He gave his reasons.
First, after all, this incident has Li Yuanji's past, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of controversy about the origin of this child. The royal family is extremely particular about blood, even if Li Shimin believes that this child is his own, but the gossip between the government and the opposition will discourage Li Shimin.
Second, what kind of feelings does Li Shimin have for Qiao Mengjie, does he really like it, or is it just a dragon and a phoenix? Outsiders don't know. After all, Li Shimin has never gone back since he left Yufeng Town, Shangzhou, nor has he sent anyone to pick up Qiao Mengjie. What Li Shimin thinks, outsiders have no way of knowing.
Third, being a princess is of course a glorious thing, but it is not as happy as outsiders imagine. Li Shimin now has 21 daughters, in addition to his doting on Li Lizhen, son-in-law and other daughters, he basically ignores the other daughters, and even some of them he can't name.
Fortunately, these princesses also have a mother from a noble family to take care of, Gu Ruoyu's mother was born in the people, and the person is gone, Gu Ruoyu entered the palace This place of right and wrong can be imagined, it is not a pleasant thing.
What's more, Li Shimin has no relationship with Gu Ruoyu, and it is not easy to get his love.
To sum up, Gu Ruoyu's recognition of his father is extremely risky, and it may cause an uproar, and if it is not good, it will also endanger Gu and Gu Ruoyu's lives.
Even if Li Shimin reluctantly accepts Gu Ruoyu, she may not have a good ending.
After listening to Li You's analysis, the three of Gu were excited, and they were all silent for a while.
After a long time, Gu sighed and said, "Sister of hard life, Ruoyu of hard life." As he spoke, he began to cry again.
Liu Feixu asked: "Lord Wang, if Yu is a good child, can't he just let her suffer for the rest of her life?" ”
Li You said: "Actually, instead of letting Ruoyu get involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong, it is better to let her live a normal woman's life peacefully." I have a suggestion for you to consider. ”
Gu wiped his tears and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”
Li You said: "I will treat Ruoyu as my own sister and take care of him wholeheartedly." I plan to let Wanyu recognize Ruoyu as her godsister, and no one dares to underestimate her in this identity, and then choose a good noble son for her to spend her life in peace.
As for Mr. Gu, you live in my house, and I will arrange your life. ”
Gao Henian believed in the prince the most, and he agreed. Gu and Liu Feixu were a little unwilling in their hearts, but they also felt that Li You's arrangement was right, so they both agreed.
On this day, Liu Feixu took Gu Ruoyu to check Xiao Wanyu's body, Xiao Wanyu said: "Master, I am the youngest in the family, I have several brothers, but no sisters, I like Ruoyu very much, I want to recognize her as a sister, what do you think?" ”
Liu Feixu smiled: "Okay, I have no opinion, Ruoyu, you come over." Her Royal Highness is my apprentice, you are my niece, and I am very happy if you can become sisters. If it rains, why don't you come over and see your sister. ”
Xiao Wanyu is noble, kind and amiable, Gu Ruoyu respects her very much, she is surprised and happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Slave maid to see my sister." ”
Xiao Wanyu smiled and helped her up, and said, "In the future, we will be sisters, so don't call ourselves slaves." ”
Gu Ruoyu said: "Yes, sister, my sister listens to my sister." ”
At dinner, Xiao Wanyu asked Gu Ruoyu to sit beside her and said, "Lord Wang, sisters, I like Ruoyu very much, my master held a wedding ceremony for us, and we will be godsisters in the future." ”
Li You smiled: "Okay, Ruoyu is very good, I agree." ”
Murong Ling, Ash Naqing and Wu had already been notified by Li You in advance, and they congratulated Xiao Wanyu and Gu Ruoyu together, and gave Gu Ruoyu some gifts respectively.
In the evening, Gu Ruoyu returned home happily and said to Gu: "Daddy, Her Royal Highness the princess has recognized me as a sister, you see, this is a congratulatory gift from other princesses." With that, she took out the gifts for Gu to see.
Gu was very happy and congratulated her. Seeing Gu Ruoyu's face full of joy, Gu said: "Ruoyu, it's good now, your life will be guaranteed in the future, you are not young, in a few days I will ask your Aunt Liu to beg the princess and find you a good family." ”
Gu Ruoyu thought that Xiao Wanyu recognized herself as her sister and wanted to accept herself as Li You's concubine, and she said excitedly: "Daddy, don't worry about your daughter's marriage, your daughter already has a sweetheart." ”
