Chapter 751 They want to replace me
Gu Yunxi looked at him for a while and then said: "It's because someone has been... looking for His Highness recently."
Your Highness!
General Gu's whole body stiffened for a while, and when he looked at Gu Yunxi, the kindness in his eyes disappeared.
What suddenly appeared in his eyes was a hint of caution and uneasiness.
Gu Yunxi took a step forward, and the old general subconsciously wanted to stand up.
Gu Yunxi said softly: "No matter what my status is, you are still my grandfather."
General Gu looked at her and said nothing for a long time, wondering if he was considering the authenticity of her words.
"Grandpa, why are you so respectful to me? Is it because my status puts me above you?"
"Xiaojiu, how much do you know?" The old general felt a little tired.
Decades!
At least, more than thirty years, right?
All the past events are like smoke and dust, but thinking about them now, they seem like a dream.
It turns out that it has been more than thirty years.
I have gone from a strong man to what I am now, an old man.
The old general looked at Gu Yunxi. Gu Yunxi was silent for a long time and then said: "I don't know many things. I have always been kept in the dark."
"But I know that my mother is not Mr. Gu's wife, and my eldest brother is not my biological brother, but my eldest brother loves me more than my brother."
"As for my mother... the man in black called me Your Highness, so my mother must be either a princess or an imperial concubine."
General Gu still didn't speak, just looked at her.
Gu Yunxi said: "Gu Ruqiu is a hermit. The man in black was originally sent to protect me."
"What?" General Gu was startled and almost stood up in fear.
Gu Yunxi said warmly: "Grandpa, don't be afraid. She actually had no ill intentions towards me at first. She was not the one who killed the real Gu Ruqiu. He accidentally fell into the lake and died."
General Gu tried hard to recall the past, and finally remembered something: "Could it be that time he fell into the lake five years ago?"
"I'm not very sure, but I guess it's pretty much the same. The real eighth lady is no longer here, and she happened to be pretending to be Gu Ruqiu."
"The hermit you are talking about..." The old general lowered his eyes and began to think.
"So, Grandpa, do you also know people like hermits?"
"Like a dead soldier, you must be loyal to your master, otherwise, you will not end well."
The old general sighed, feeling very helpless: "I am really old. There is a hermit lurking around me. I haven't noticed it for five years."
"Gu Ruqiu's ability to disguise... no, it should be said that he uses voodoo to change his appearance. He has reached a level of perfection. It doesn't matter if you don't notice it."
Gu Yunxi pondered the look on the old general's face.
He looked hesitant to speak, and Gu Yunxi knew clearly that he was still unwilling to tell the truth about his identity.
She decided to take a serious medicine: "But the man in black seemed to be more than just protecting me. He originally wanted to kill me when he arrested me."
"Seriously?" The old general's breathing was messed up, and he looked at her with shock: "How dare he..."
"They want Gu Ruqiu to replace me, so me being alive does not do them any good."
Gu Yunxi actually couldn't bear to lie to him, but in order to find out her true identity, she had to say these words.
"Even if I am really your little highness, I have been away from them for more than ten years. I have not been with them since I was born."
"No one knows what their situation is now. Since Gu Ruqiu can become like me, it will be easy to replace me. I..."
But General Gu interrupted her: "Xiaojiu, can you describe to me what the man in black looks like?"
