The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 114: Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve

In another courtyard inside Prince Qi's mansion, the heroic crying of a woman could be heard through the gate and from far away.

Qi Siyuan looked at her best friend, who was crying heartbrokenly, with worry and helplessness.

I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Wow, Siyuan, tell me, is my elder brother going too far?

Humph, you clearly promised to take me to the battlefield, and now you go back on your word!

I don’t like Big Brother anymore! Woo woo woo…”

Gu Xuanxuan cried so heartbreakingly that Qi Siyuan couldn't get a word in for a while.

“And my grandfather is the same, so old-fashioned, why can’t I become a female general?

I am no worse than my elder brother..."

Facing her friend's teasing gaze, Gu Xuanxuan changed her tone: "Okay, even if I am a little worse than my elder brother.

Then I can also... become a female general!"

Qi Siyuan helped Gu Xuanxuan, who was crying and hiccuping, to calm down.

He handed over another handkerchief.

Gu Xuanxuan took Qi Siyuan's handkerchief and twisted her nose.

Then he said: "Siyuan, you know, I have regarded my elder brother as a role model since I was a child.

I am determined to follow my elder brother into the battlefield and kill the enemies.

I don't want to get married! What's the point of getting married and being stuck in the backyard?

Waiting for the favor of her husband every day, and maybe even competing with those women for his favor!

Humph, if I have to do this, I might as well die!"

Gu Xuanxuan spoke without hesitation, noticing anything at all.

My friend's face turned paler and paler because of what I said.

Cui Er stood aside, tugging at her princess' sleeve in panic, and winking at her:

My princess, please stop talking. You are stabbing Princess Pingyang in the heart.

Qi Siyuan's personal maid Haitang was worried that her mistress would be sad.

I couldn't help but lean forward to Qi Siyuan and shouted worriedly: "Miss..."

Qi Siyuan shook her head and forced a smile at Haitang.

Cui'er looked at her silly princess, who was still complaining, and finally she dared to pinch Gu Xuanxuan.

"Ah! Cui Er, are you looking for death? Why are you pinching me?"

Gu Xuanxuan suddenly let out a “hiss”.

Cui'er has grown up with Gu Xuanxuan since childhood, and their relationship is different from that of an ordinary master and servant.

Cui'er blinked at Gu Xuanxuan until tears were about to come out.

Gu Xuanxuan realized it belatedly and followed Cui'er's gaze to see Qi Siyuan with a helpless look on her face.

Gu Xuanxuan looked at Qi Siyuan, then at the embarrassed Cui'er.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and were watery.

The dull expression made Qi Siyuan burst out laughing.

Gu Xuanxuan was embarrassed and stammered, "Siyuan, I'm sorry...

I…I’m not talking about you, that’s not what I meant…”

I'm so clumsy that I don't know how to explain it.

During this period, she has been with Qi Siyuan.

No matter how carefree Gu Xuanxuan was, she understood Qi Siyuan's helplessness.

Qi Siyuan smiled gently, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

"Xuanxuan, Brother Gu doesn't let you go because it's for your own good."

Gu Xuanxuan curled her lips: "Humph, it's not for my own good, he just dislikes me and is afraid that I will hold him back."

Qi Siyuan shook her head and looked at Gu Xuanxuan tolerantly as she complained like a child.

“But, Xuanxuan, Brother Gu left in a hurry this time, if you leave too.

You are worried about leaving the old Duke alone in Fengyao."

When it comes to her grandfather, Gu Xuanxuan shut up immediately, even though she always said that her grandfather was old-fashioned.

But if she really had to, she would definitely not be at ease leaving her grandfather alone in Fengyao.

Gu Xuanxuan, who was relieved, howled, and lay on the table, saying with a face full of resentment:

"It's all the fault of Princess Mingyu, if it weren't for her, how could my brother be forced to leave Fengyao!

As a princess, she is so... so shameless!

Even though my eldest brother clearly doesn't like her, she still pesters him all day long.

He even threatened to destroy my Fuguogong Mansion."

As she spoke, Gu Xuanxuan became more and more annoyed: "Humph! My Fuguogong Mansion is full of loyal and brave people, how could she humiliate us like this!

Next time, when I see her, I will definitely not let her off! She covets my elder brother and wants to be my elder sister-in-law. Dream on!

My eldest brother would never fall for such a cruel and vicious person!"

Qi Siyuan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she asked casually:

"Xuanxuan, I heard from others that when a son of a family goes to the battlefield, his relatives will give him amulets, peace lockets and the like.

In anticipation of his safe return, have you prepared anything for your elder brother?"

Gu Xuanxuan looked confused: "Ah? There is such a saying? I don't have it...

Ah! What should I do? My elder brother will leave early tomorrow morning, and it will be too late for me to ask for a lucky charm now.

Siyuan, what should we do? "

Qi Siyuan pursed her lips, took out a peace locket from her sleeve and handed it to Gu Xuanxuan.

She said softly, "How about this peace locket, I'll give it to you.

This was given to me by a traveling monk whom I happened to meet a few days ago. He said it could bring peace to me.”

Gu Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, she took the peace locket and said excitedly, "That's great, thank you Siyuan.

How much is this peace locket? I'll buy it from you."

Qi Siyuan shook her head and said, "It was given by the senior monk, I don't want silver.

Brother Gu is stationed at the border for the safety of my Qianyao people.

Give this peace locket to Brother Gu. I hope he will have smooth sailing and be safe at the border."

"Yeah, okay! I'll go back first then.

Siyuan, I'll come see you tomorrow after I send my eldest brother off."

After Gu Xuanxuan took Cui'er away.

Haitang looked at her young lady with heartache. The peace locket was clearly obtained by her young lady at the Fahua Temple.

I recited the sutra for a whole day and night.

The lady is very kind to Gu Shizi...

"Miss, that peace locket is clearly..."

Qi Siyuan looked at the little girl with red eyes and curled the corners of her lips slightly.

"Haitang, go get the needle and thread.

I made a shirt for my eldest brother a few days ago, but the sleeves are not completely finished yet, so I have to hurry up."

Haitang knew that the young lady didn't want to mention the matter of Master Gu anymore, so she didn't say anything more.

What's more, what's the point even if we say it again?

In a few days, the young lady will marry Prince Yu, and Prince Gu will also travel far to the southwest.

After entering the Prince of Yu's Mansion and becoming the Princess of Yu, she was no longer the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Qi's Mansion.

Maybe it was just as Princess Pingyang said, trapped in the backyard, fighting with other women in Prince Yu's Mansion.

The next day, early in the morning

"Brother, grandfather?"

Gu Xuanxuan's eyes were slightly red. Her grandfather had sent someone to say yesterday that he was too old to get up, so there was no need to come and say goodbye before leaving.

I didn't expect the old man to be so cruel that he didn't even open the gate.

Gu Jingxuan was standing outside the courtyard of Duke Gu.

Looking at the courtyard gate which had not been opened at the hour of Mao, I felt a strong sense of guilt.

But he couldn't say anything. He was determined to leave and had to leave.

After a long time, Gu Jingxuan knelt down and kowtowed three times.

My grandfather raised me for more than ten years, but I was unable to fulfill my filial duties to him.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry, it's my grandson who is unfilial..."

The little girl Gu Xuanxuan was rare to be quiet. She covered her mouth and cried.

Inside the courtyard, the housekeeper looked at Duke Gu, who was standing in the courtyard in only a single garment, and sighed silently.

He turned around and went into the house, took out a coat and put it on Duke Gu.

"Master, the young master has left..." the butler said in a low voice.

After a long time, Gu Yizhong nodded slowly.

"Master, the young master... looks like the old master."

For the sake of Qianyao and the people, he was not afraid of danger and guarded the border to protect the safety of the people.

Gu Yizhong turned around and walked into the house, whispering as he walked: "Yes, he looks like his father, it's good to look like his father!"

Gu Yizhong's slightly hunched body seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
