As soon as they entered the room, the three children sat down around the table, like a book boy, with their hands folded on the table. Gu Beiyue missed this scene very much. In the palace a few years ago, the three children sat around like this every morning, listening to him tell stories.
How could he tell so many stories? What he told was history. Take the centuries-old history of Yunkong Continent as a story, and tell it to children in an easy-to-understand manner.
Rui'er always asks why this and that, but what Yan'er cares about is how this person is and how that person is. Little Shadow is usually silent, and he will add a few questions after Rui'er and Yan'er have finished asking.
Gu Beiyue knew that at this moment, these three were not waiting for a story, but waiting for an answer from him.
Qin Min always wanted Shadow to come and see him, but he refused. However, at this time, the shadow should also come, and he had to personally hand over the essence of shadow art to the shadow.
He didn't expect that Rui'er and Yan'er would also come, and now that they came, things couldn't be kept secret. They are all the children he taught himself, so he can understand everything about his temper and his thoughts. Hiding his condition will only make the children suspicious.
As soon as Gu Beiyue sat down, the three of them all looked at him in unison. Under the light, the little shadow immediately saw his pale face.
"Daddy, are you not feeling well?" Little Shadow's heart, which had just calmed down, became uneasy again.
"Well, Daddy is sick." Gu Beiyue said lightly.
"Teacher!" Yan'er exclaimed.
Sick, but don't let everyone know. This…
Rui'er didn't make a sound, but her brows were furrowed, knowing that things were not as simple as they thought.
Little Shadow hurriedly pulled his father's hand to feel his pulse. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything. He immediately looked at his mother who was standing aside.
Qin Min didn't know how to deal with these children, let alone what Gu Beiyue's plan was, so she could only keep silent.
Little Shadow looked at his father again, with a questioning look, but cautious and uneasy.
Gu Beiyue patted Xiaoying's head, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, it's just that the illness is a little serious, and you need to rest."
"So, Daddy has lived here for a long time, right?" Little Shadow asked.
Gu Beiyue's judgment was correct, he couldn't hide it from this child. When I took care of this child back then, I only valued his talent, but I didn't expect that he would be such a smart and restrained child. Maybe it was innate, maybe it has something to do with Qin Min's teaching in those years.
Gu Beiyue admitted, "Well, I've been living here all the time."
"Teacher, you have been recovering from illness for more than two years?" Yan'er couldn't help but speak out.
Before Gu Beiyue could answer, Little Shadow's tears suddenly filled silently from his eyes, and he was anxious to wipe them away, but the tears filled up again.
He thought of those days in Ningzhou, since then, his father has been taking medicinal baths, and when he returned to the imperial capital, his father often took medicinal baths. His mother always told him that it was just taking care of his body, not illness. And now...
How could he be so stupid! Why didn't something wrong happen
Among other things, with his father's medical skills, he couldn't heal himself after so many years, which was enough to scare him.
Little Shadow didn't want to cry, but the tears were disobedient and disobedient, they kept flowing, and he couldn't stop wiping them silently and constantly.
Gu Beiyue was in a hurry, and hurriedly hugged Little Shadow. At this moment, Yan'er burst into tears, and Rui'er immediately hugged her and covered her mouth.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you, tell me." Rui'er's voice was a little choked up, but she was still calm.
Gu Beiyue wiped Xiao Ying's tears while comforting her, "It's just that he's been sick for a while, don't worry, nothing serious will happen."
As soon as the words came out, Yan'er let go of her elder brother's hand, and asked in tears, "Then why didn't you let everyone know, why did you lie to people? Huuuuuuuuuuu, you lied to people, you lied to everyone!"
Little Shadow raised his head, also choked with sobs, "Daddy, you are lying."
Gu Beiyue was really at a loss, but he remained calm. He said, "Yan'er, in half a year. The ten-year agreement between your mother's queen and your grandfather Han Chen will be here. It will be a tough battle. It's important. If your mother loses, she will have to stay in the enchantment of the Poison Sect's forbidden area to guard the tomb; if she wins, Daqin's northern border will be free from worries for at least decades!"
Although Han Chen has promised Long Feiye to protect Qinbeijiang Wuyou for 20 years, in his view, in Long Feiye and Han Yunxi's view, relying on Han Chen's protection is a temporary solution after all, and only being strong can be tough. reason. After all, Han Chen has been in seclusion all year round, completely ignoring the affairs of the Wolf Sect, and the eldest lady of the Wolf Sect is not a good stubble!
Half a year ago, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi visited the Ice Sea and Xuankong Continent in person, and inquired about the news in the south. Moreover, Gu Qishao's frequent trips over the years brought back a lot of news.
The decisive battle after half a year will definitely be a tough one!
After hearing the Taifu's words, the three children became quiet and confused. They didn't know what this matter had to do with the ten-year agreement.
Gu Beiyue gently wiped away the teardrops from the corners of Little Shadow's eyes, and said seriously, "Yingying, Daddy's illness is very serious, and he hasn't found a cure yet. Daddy will tell you about this today. You keep it a secret for Daddy for half a year, but it is good?"
Little Shadow's tears flooded again, even worse than before, Yan'er also cried silently, even the always calm Rui'er couldn't help sniffing.
What does it mean to be sick for so many years and there is no cure so far
They are still young, but they all understand.
Seeing the children's tears, Gu Beiyue's heart was pierced like a knife.
This matter should be hidden from these children the most. If he had known that Yan'er and Rui'er would come, he might as well take a secret trip to the imperial capital by himself.
Suppressing her distress, Gu Beiyue said seriously, "The ten-year agreement between the empress and empress is very important. The emperor takes care of state affairs and manages every day. Let this matter be my little secret with you, okay? After half a year, ten years later After the appointment, you can talk about it again, okay?"
After hearing this, the children finally understood why Gu Beiyue wanted to hide it. However, Qin Min turned his head away, wanting to cry.
half a year
Gu Beiyue has less than half a year to live!
After the ten-year agreement is over, the emperor and empress do not see Taifu Gu anymore. There will be no such person as Gu Beiyue in this world anymore!
For more than two years, they have been working hard. However, his prophecy seemed to be a curse on himself, and it was fulfilled one by one. He even estimated the time so accurately.
Gu Beiyue, you lied again! You even lied to children!
However, I can't expose you.
What's the use of debunking it
What's the use of the emperor and empress knowing this? If he can't save himself, who can
It's an excellent reason not to disturb the ten-year agreement!
Gu Beiyue took Xiao Yingying's hand and hooked up with him, "After half a year, you can tell the emperor and empress about this on behalf of father, okay?"
Qin Min was able to hold on originally, her eyes hadn't turned red for a long time, but when she heard this sentence, her eyes turned red. Because, the word "for" that month!
Little Shadow didn't know the meaning of the word "for", and didn't know that half a year later his father would no longer be ordered to expose the lie and reveal the secret himself, so he used the word "for".
Little Shadow hesitated.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? After half a year, can you find a cure? If you don't get better, what will happen to you?" He asked timidly.
"It's a strange disease. Your mother has been looking for a solution, don't worry. If it doesn't get better, I can only soak in the medicine bath every day." Gu Beiyue didn't give Xiaoying any room to ask more questions, and said seriously, "Promise to daddy, that's good." ?”
"Really?" Little Shadow asked seriously.
Gu Beiyue smiled faintly, "If you don't believe me, forget it."
How could Little Shadow stand up to his father's bullying, he quickly clenched his fingers, "I believe it!"
After Gu Beiyue and Xiaoying finished hooking their fingers together, they reached out to Rui'er and Yan'er, "Your Highness, Princess, half a year's appointment, do you want it?"
Little Shadow has made an appointment, can they not
Thinking of helping the Tai Tuo to deceive their father and mother, the brothers and sisters trembled in their hearts. They often cheat on small things, but such big things...
Gu Beiyue seemed to see through the minds of the siblings. He said, "After half a year, if the emperor blames him, the Taifu will bear it."
Rui'er and Yan'er exchanged glances, and then both reached out their hands.
Seeing this, Qin Min was filled with helplessness and pain. But they have to admire Gu Beiyue's plan.
If he said that he was mildly ill, or had other reasons, the children would not believe him. He said that he was so ill that he could not be cured, and the children had no room for doubting his condition.
"Rui'er, are you here to practice martial arts?" Gu Beiyue asked seriously.
"There are still a few days." Rui'er replied truthfully.
"The shadow has to stay and practice with me, Yan'er, you..."
Before Gu Beiyue could finish her sentence, Yan'er said, "I can't stay, I want to stay, and my father's shadow guards will come to find me. I... I will go to Fengming Mountain with my brother."
If it was normal, Rui'er would definitely refuse, not to mention this girl's loudness, her martial arts talent is also average, there was a time when she followed him to Tianshan Mountain to learn swordsmanship, almost annoyed him and several elders to death. Can't learn not to talk, but also all kinds of nonsense.
In this situation, Rui'er agreed without hesitation, "Okay, follow me!"
In this way, Qin Min made snacks for the children.
The little shadow stayed, and Rui'er was afraid that the shadow guard would not be able to find him at dawn, so she took Yan'er to the medical city overnight.
Before they left, Yan'er remembered the little thing, and after looking for it for a while, she found that the little thing was actually on the roof, watching them.
"Little thing, are you going?" Yan'er shouted.
The little thing understood what she meant, it shook its head and didn't want to leave.
"Then you should stay with Taifu too." Yan'er was about to leave, and turned around to remind him, "Teacher is sick, don't disturb him!"
The little thing doesn't understand, but it nods whatever the little masters say it doesn't understand.
After seeing off Yan'er and Rui'er, Gu Beiyue accompanied Qin Min and slept on the same couch with Little Shadow. Qin Min slept inside, Xiao Ying slept in the middle, and Gu Beiyue lay on his side and slept on the outside.
Little Shadow is sensible, even if there are many things he wants to say to his parents, it is afraid that his father is too tired and dare not say them. He was lying on his back, holding the hands of his father and mother, and fell asleep without knowing it.
After Little Shadow fell asleep, Gu Beiyue got up, and the little thing who had been standing by the side immediately jumped onto his shoulder.
