Chapter 492 Showdown, Free Choice
Shu Mingzong covered his neck and jokingly said, "Master, you are so solemn, are you going to kill people to silence them?"
Grandma Wu smiled and slapped him, "Little bastard, I'll teach you a lesson for talking nonsense!"
"Oh, my jade back, grandma, your hands are so strong, you are worthy of being a beautiful girl in your youth!" Shu Mingzong rubbed his shoulders in a pretentious manner and grinned.
"Brat!" Grandma Wu chuckled.
Everyone laughed.
After laughing, everyone looked at Gu Qinghuai quietly.
Xiao Yueshi's eyes were clear and he guessed what Xiao Huai wanted to do.
Indeed, if Xiao Huai wants to take revenge on Liang Qianxi, he will completely offend Duke Liang, Concubine Shu and the Third Prince. It is time to tell everyone the truth.
Whether to leave or stay, to cut ties or get on the same boat, it’s everyone’s own choice.
Gu Qinghuai said in a deep voice: "I have brought everyone together today because I have several important things to say. This time, I will not let Liang Qianxi go, I will fight back! In this way, I will completely break with Duke Liang, Concubine Shu, the Third Prince and others. They rely on the emperor's favor and have omnipotence in the imperial capital. They will definitely counterattack wildly. You are my friends and family, and you will definitely be affected. This is one reason."
"Master, we are not afraid of being affected! Come if they dare! I can't kill them!" Shu Mingzong immediately stood up and clenched his fists with excitement.
Now he is a strong man, and he has also learned martial arts from Xiao Shitou and Cui Shishi. He thinks he is very good.
"Great God, what is the second one?"
Others also looked at Gu Qinghuai eagerly, feeling that this "second one" was not simple, otherwise, Xiaohuai would not be so serious.
Gu Qinghuai's eyes slowly swept across everyone's face and asked tentatively: "Do you still remember the prince's rebellion case two years ago? The former queen was given poisoned wine, the Duke of Wei was executed along with his entire clan, the prince and the little grandson were demoted to commoners and sent to the northern border to do hard labor, and the seventh prince was assassinated."
Everyone's expression changed and the atmosphere became solemn.
Shu Mingzong was the first to stand up. He said indignantly, "Of course I know, but I always feel that the former crown prince and the former queen were wronged! They must have been framed by that old bitch Liang Shufei, the third prince, and the Duke of Liang! That group of people would do anything for power!"
Grandma Wu whispered fearfully, "Hey, you little bastard, keep your voice down!"
Xiao Yueshi also nodded in agreement: "I think what Ming Zong said makes sense. I also think so. The former crown prince was framed."
"Hehe, look, this young master's eyes are so powerful! He can see through the truth at a glance! Brother Yueshi, you really understand me!" Shu Mingzong winked at Xiao Yueshi in a funny way.
Xiao Yueshi felt disgusted and looked away mercilessly.
Zhao Wang and Xiao Lingxin looked at each other, their hearts began beating fast and their palms couldn't stop sweating.
Xiao Huai suddenly brought up this matter, which must be related to them. They vaguely guessed something.
Gu Qinghuai nodded, "Ming Zong is right, I think so too, but what I want to tell you today is that the late crown prince, the young grandson, and the seventh prince are not dead."
Shu Mingzong slapped the table excitedly, jumped up and said, "Master, I know who they are! Oh my goodness! The masters are hiding next to us. How can I say that they don't look like ordinary people at all! My eyes are too sharp!"
Everyone else understood as well.
Xiao Yueshi's lips curled slightly, he guessed right, he was the first person to guess it!
As expected, he is the smartest, the best at observation and reasoning, and the one who understands Xiao Huai the best!
Zhao Wang was shocked. He was just a rough country boy, but he actually became the adoptive father of the late crown prince and the seventh prince, and the grandfather of the little grandson of the emperor!
How could he...be so worthy? !
Xiao Lingxin also had a look of disbelief on her face. She, a divorced woman, was actually going to become the mother of the late crown prince and the seventh prince, and the grandmother of the little emperor's grandson!
How could she have such luck that she suddenly became a royal relative?
Looking at the stunned faces of the crowd, Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Xiao Shitou is the Seventh Prince, Aren Ge is the former Crown Prince, and Xiaohuo is the youngest grandson of the Emperor Qi Zhengxuan. It was purely an accident that I met Xiao Shitou. At that time, I saw that he was very skilled, so I hired him as a personal bodyguard. Later, I slowly guessed his identity. After Xiao Shitou rescued Xiaohuo, Aren Ge also planned to escape from the northern border and met my grandmother and uncle on the way. Uncle, you know Aren Ge's situation at that time. The three of them lay dormant for such a long time just to avenge their hatred and regain power!"
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhao Wang nodded repeatedly.
"Good! That's great!" Shu Mingzong was very excited. "I, Shu Mingzong, will become a hero! As long as I follow Little Stone to conquer the world, I will have the merit of following the dragon! Grandmother, am I more promising than those bastards of the Shu family?! I am not an ignorant and unsuccessful playboy! This young master has a keen eye for talent and has made the acquaintance of my great god, and has also established relationships with the crown prince, the prince, and the emperor's grandson. I am so awesome!"
Grandma Wu wiped her eyes, patted her grandson's arm and said, "My eldest grandson has always been more promising, more capable, and more kind than those illegitimate children. My eldest grandson has never been an uneducated playboy."
"Grandma~" Shu Mingzong hugged Grandma Wu's arm and acted coquettishly.
Grandma Wu touched his head lovingly.
Gu Qinghuai continued, "I chose to explain all this today because I want to give everyone a chance to choose a side. If you don't want to take the risk, or if you don't want to be on anyone's side and don't want to get involved in this, you still have a chance to quit. From now on, we are strangers."
"Master, I don't want to become a stranger to you! You are my idol, my light. I will be anxious if I can't see you for a day!" Shu Mingzong immediately expressed his position loudly, "I will firmly support Master Xiao Shitou, sacrifice my life for him, and earn this honor of following the dragon! My grandmother will also stand by me, right, grandma?"
"Of course! I stand on the side of little Huai girl. Don't look at my age. If there is a war, I can still cook and wash clothes for the soldiers in the rear," said Grandma Wu with a smile.
Zhao Wang held Xiao Lingxin's hand and said firmly, "Huai'er, I am your uncle. Ah Ren and Xiao Shitou once called me dad. Even if I die, I will stand by their side."
"Yeah, me too. I will be your aunt soon, so naturally our family should stand together." After saying that, Xiao Lingxin looked at Zhao Wang with a happy face. Xiao Yueshi saw that her mother and future stepfather were always showing off their affection, so she coughed and said, "Xiao Huai, you understand me and know what I will choose, so I don't need to say anything extra."
"Damn it! Xiao Yueshi, you are too pretentious. I am fooled by you again!" Shu Mingzong couldn't help but yell.
Xiao Yueshi glanced at him proudly and straightened his back calmly.
