Chapter 202: The Clouds Will Clear and the Sun Will Come

"you……"

The Duke of Zhenguo was staring at the man in the carriage with a look of shock on his face, wanting to ask him whether he was a human or a ghost?

However, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he was trembling and unable to speak.

Just then, a woman's laughter was heard from the carriage.

Then a beautiful woman appeared and said jokingly, "Husband, is this the friend you always told me about?"

The man smiled and replied, "Yes, let me introduce you. This is my old friend, Nanli Zhenguogong Wen Zixu."

Upon hearing this, the woman nimbly jumped off the carriage, walked up to the Duke of Zhenguo and looked at him, then her gaze fell on Wen Ruqing who was standing behind the Duke of Zhenguo.

"I guess this must be your daughter, Duke? She is quite pretty."

The woman reached out to touch Wen Ruqing's face.

The Duke of Zhenguo was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back with his daughter. He stared at the woman in front of him with some vigilance and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman raised her eyebrows and said to the person in the carriage: "Husband, he doesn't seem to know you."

The man sighed: "Maybe it's been too many years since we last saw each other."

"It's okay, I'll remind him."

As the woman spoke, she pulled out the whip from her waist, rolled Wen Ruqing from behind the Duke of Zhenguo over, then grabbed her neck and asked the Duke of Zhenguo: "Do you remember who my husband is now?"

"No, don't hurt my daughter."

The Duke of Zhenguo thought he had met a noble man, but it turned out that this was the one who really wanted to take his life.

He looked at the man who had been sitting in the carriage, and said with trembling lips: "Jin Yu, you are still alive."

The man named Jin Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you expect that I could come back alive?"

The Duke of Zhenguo never expected that a person who had been dead for sixteen years would come back to life.

And this person was none other than his old friend, the young master of the Huo family, Huo Zheng, Huo Jinyu.

His face turned pale and he asked, "Are you back for revenge?"

At that time, the Huo family's father and son died on the battlefield, Empress Huo hanged herself, the Huo family was completely destroyed and finally they were accused of treason.

After sixteen years, the young general of the Huo family came back. He came to avenge the Huo family.

Huo Zheng played with the jade ring on his hand and asked him: "Do you know why I am here?

I received the news that you left Beijing to return home for your beloved daughter, so I waited here specially.

For sixteen years, I have been looking forward to meeting you day and night, just to ask you in person, why? "

"sorry!"

The Duke of Zhenguo knelt on the ground with a thud. He lowered his head with tears of regret on his face and said, "I am sorry for you. Please kill me. I only ask you to let my daughter go."

"Why should I let her go? When you betrayed me, did you ever think of letting the entire Huo family go?"

Huo Zheng was so emotional that he covered his lips and started coughing again.

The woman threw Wen Ruqing to the guard, then quickly walked up to Huo Zheng, patted him on the back and said, "Why waste your time talking to him.

I killed his daughter first, so that he could experience the pain of losing a loved one."

She took out a dagger from her bosom and was about to end Wen Ruqing's life.

The Duke of Zhenguo exclaimed, "No!"

The dagger in the woman's hand mercilessly slashed Wen Ruqing's face, and immediately the skin on his face was torn and blood was dripping.

Wen Ruqing's screams were heard from the forest, accompanied by the heart-wrenching cries of the Duke of Zhenguo.

The woman stared at the Duke of Zhenguo with a cold expression and said, "If you don't want your daughter to be tortured to death, tell her everything you did back then!"

The Duke of Zhenguo knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

……

Beijing.

The Yongning Marquis' Mansion was burned down by fire. Gu Yucheng was placed in the Ling Prince's Mansion, while Gu Tinglan was taken care of by Song Shiwei and stayed in the mansion.

Prince Ling's Mansion.

Xiao Jingheng came to visit Gu Yucheng holding a brocade box. Since bringing him back, he has been silent and no one knows what he is thinking.

He handed the brocade box in his hand to Gu Yucheng and said, "This is the corpse that Han Qingyan found for you in the Marquis' Mansion."

Gu Yucheng finally showed some reaction. He hugged the box, put his face on it, and tears fell.

Xiao Jingheng sighed and said, "You have to cheer up. If the Marquis is still alive, he definitely doesn't want to see you become like this."

Seeing that Gu Yucheng was unmoved, he continued, "I understand how you feel. I've experienced what you've experienced before, and even worse than you."

Xiao Jingheng recalled the past, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and he said: "I saw my mother die in front of me with my own eyes, I was only three years old that year.

Overnight, I lost my mother, my grandfather, and my uncle. Unfortunately, I was born at an early age, and I can never forget those painful memories.

For more than ten years since then, I have been living in darkness. My only purpose in life is to find out the truth and avenge the Huo family."

When he mentioned the Huo family, Gu Yucheng's eyes moved slightly.

He thought of what his father said to him before he died, and the look he gave Jamel Xiao became more complicated.

He asked, "Do you hate His Majesty?"

"Rather than hate him, I blame him. I have always blamed him and been angry with him, and I don't want to ease the relationship between father and son.

I believe that he was deceived by the villains in those days. In fact, he also knows that he was wrong, but he is unwilling to admit it, so he doesn't want me to continue to insist on the truth. "

Xiao Jingheng took a deep breath and said, "But that's not only the truth, it's also my obsession. I can't rest easy until I find out the truth."

He asked, "Did your father mention anything to you before he died?"

Gu Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Jingheng with a little confusion: "Why would the prince ask this?"

Xiao Jingheng said: "When I went to your house before, your father reminded me not to investigate further, otherwise the people around him would be in danger.

Unfortunately, he didn't tell me the truth, and I suffered this misfortune.

I suspected that the prince also knew the truth of that year, so I wanted to interrogate him, but he died in the dungeon.

I just realized that the Huo family’s affairs are far from as simple as they appear. I even suspect that your father’s death may not be an accident.”

He asked Gu Yucheng: "Do you want to continue hiding it like your father did?"

Gu Yucheng was shocked. He looked at Xiao Jingheng and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Does Your Majesty really want to know?

What if the truth of the matter is beyond your ability to bear? "

Xiao Jingheng subconsciously clenched his hands and said, “I have come this far and can’t turn back!”

Gu Yucheng looked at his pale and solemn face and said, "For someone as smart and wise as Your Majesty, you must have guessed it a long time ago, right?

It's only because you don't want to accept it that you ask me for an answer.

I can tell you that it is just as you think, the real murderer who killed the Huo family is..."
