Chapter 564 Marrying Two Wives 2
"Congyun, what on earth is going on?"
The elderly Prince of Changping, Gu Bozhong, received the imperial edict. He thought he had heard it wrong, so he opened it and read it carefully again. It was indeed an edict granting marriage.
"I don't know why the emperor granted marriage to Wuwei and me."
Gu Congyun was a concubine of the previous dynasty. Even if Xiao Yi died, it would be impossible for her to remarry, let alone marry a young general like Zhou Wuwei.
If Zhou Wuwei is the shining star in the sky, then Gu Congyun is the dust on the roadside. The two of them are not a match at all.
"I'm going to find the emperor. Wuwei deserves better. I think a fallen woman is not worthy of him."
Zhou Wuwei took good care of her during the years at the border. If he hadn't helped her from time to time, she might have turned into dust by now.
"Sister, you don't have to go. I asked Brother Wuwei for help."
Seeing his father and sister looking terrified, Gu Xi finally couldn't help but tell the truth.
"you?"
Gu Bozhong looked at Gu Xi with a puzzled look. His son had been naughty since childhood and was a well-known playboy in the capital.
Later, if the Prince Changping's Mansion had not been in trouble, Ye Yanran would have wanted to uproot it, and Gu Xi would have been able to be a playboy for the rest of his life.
In order to protect the Prince of Changping's Palace, he started from scratch, and slowly picked up the reputation he had lost over the years.
He led troops to suppress bandits, led troops to intercept rebels, and led troops to fight against the Northern Di.
His martial arts skills were not the best, but he risked his life for military merit in battle after battle.
He made many outstanding achievements when he followed Zhou Wuwei to attack the Northern Di at the border. It was because of this that the Changping Palace in the capital was saved.
Gu Bozhong looked at his son, who was a head taller than him, and felt mixed emotions.
"Tell me in detail what you said to General Zhou."
"Before I returned to Beijing, Brother Wuwei asked me what reward I wanted. He said that with my military achievements, I could at least become a third-rank military officer."
"I asked Brother Wuwei if I could exchange all my military merits for something with him, and he agreed without hesitation."
"You bastard, you're going to use all your military merits to get General Zhou to marry your sister?"
Gu Bozhong's hands were shaking with anger.
This is a military achievement. If it is gone, it is gone. It is very likely that Gu Xi will be a small general for the rest of his life and will never be able to make any further progress.
He wasn't exchanging his military achievements for Gu Congyun's marriage; he was clearly exchanging his future for it.
"Dad, don't worry. I'll go talk to Wuwei and the emperor and tell them that this matter doesn't count."
Gu Congyun never expected that his brother would even give up his military merits for her.
Her eyes were red and she didn't want to cry, but her tears didn't listen to her at all. They kept falling and soon blurred her eyes.
"Dad, sister, can you please listen to me for once? If I lose my military merits, I will lose them. At worst, I can earn them again in the future. At worst, I can still come back and become the Crown Prince of Changping."
Prince Changping used to have military power, but unfortunately he lost it all in the struggle.
Gu Xi later inherited the Prince of Changping's Palace, which was actually just an empty shell with no substance.
"Alas, I am old, old."
Gu Bozhong looked at Gu Congyun who was crying, and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Gu Congyun was his daughter. Although she was born out of wedlock, she gave up everything to become Xiao Yi's concubine for the sake of the Prince of Changping's Mansion.
As her father, he knew very well what grievances she had suffered when she married Xiao Yi.
Later, when the palace coup occurred, she followed Zhou Wuwei to the border. He thought she would never return to the capital, so he specially sent someone to send her some silver, just hoping that she could live a better life.
When she came back this time, Gu Bozhong saw that she was in good spirits and he was happy for her.
He even mentioned it to the princess and asked her to help her find a good family.
If she could marry Zhou Wuwei, her second half of life would be settled.
But if all this is at the cost of Gu Xi's future, he still can't get over it.
Gu Xi naturally saw that Gu Bozhong was feeling anxious.
"Dad, when we were attacking Beidi, I was fighting on the front line, and my sister was a military doctor in the barracks. One time, I was seriously injured, and there were pursuers behind me. The main force had already started to retreat. My sister heard that I was unable to move, so she ran back and carried me back from the hands of the King of Hell."
"If we had walked a little slower, we would have lost our lives at the border."
"Another time, our team was trapped in a canyon by the Northern Di people. We were about to be surrounded. I used the thunder bombs my sister gave me and led my team to rush out of the encirclement and saved our lives."
"Do you know where that thunder bomb came from? It was given to my sister by Brother Wuwei to save her life. She gave me the chance to live without hesitation."
"Later, the Northern Di people attacked our camp, and it was my sister who first discovered that there was a fire near my tent. The Northern Di people poured a lot of kerosene on our food and fodder. If they had been a little late, I would have died in the sea of fire."
"My sister was able to discover the fire because the cotton shoes I was wearing were torn. She took a piece of calfskin and helped me mend the shoes overnight."
"The cowhide was very hard, and ordinary needles could not be used. She could only use an awl to pierce the holes one by one."
"When I was attacking the Northern Di, the shoes on my feet, the hat I wore, and the clothes I wore were all sewn by my sister herself."
"Dad, if I didn't have my sister to take care of me, I would have died in battle after battle with the Northern Di."
After Gu Xi returned from the border, he rarely talked about what happened on the battlefield with his family.
For him, every war was extremely cruel and he didn't want to recall it at all.
At this moment, when he talked about the past when Gu Congyun had gone to the battlefield with him, he was quite excited and couldn't help but raise his voice a few degrees.
"My son, it's God's mercy that you can come back alive."
The Princess of Prince Changping had already burst into tears while listening to Gu Xi's story.
She only has this one son, and if he really died on the battlefield, she would not be able to survive.
"Congyun, thank you for saving Xier again and again."
As Princess Changping said this, she was about to salute Gu Congyun, and Gu Congyun was so scared that he quickly supported her.
"Mother, you are too kind. This is what I should do as a sister."
When Gu Congyun was in the palace before, she was actually not very noticeable, and her mother was not very favored either. If it weren't for the strict rule of Princess Changping, she and her mother would have been bullied to no end.
So when the princess asked her to marry Xiao Yi, she agreed without even thinking about it.
And the fact that she saved Gu Xi again and again had nothing to do with the princess.
She likes this younger brother from the bottom of her heart.
When he was little, he would follow her around and call her "sister", all the time.
Later, when she grew up, although he was uneducated, when she was wronged by Xiao Yi, he would stand up for her.
Also, when she first became a military doctor, many people strongly opposed it because there was no precedent for a woman to be a military doctor and it was against the rules. It was only because Gu Xi personally went to find Zhou Wuwei that she was able to become a military doctor.
Because of her special status in the army, there were all kinds of ugly rumors. Every time Gu Xi heard someone saying bad things about her behind her back, he would go find that person to fight.
His kung fu skills improved greatly when he was at the border, which was also related to the fact that he was always fighting with others.
