Quick Wear: Sweet! Hug my gentle male partner
Chapter 32: Back to the Tyrant's Childhood
No matter how Jiang Ning beat her chest and stamped her feet to express her dissatisfaction with the male protagonist of the previous life and the original female protagonist, Gu Zhaojin was going to the prison to find out the truth about Gu Zhaojue.
Perhaps because Gu Qinian had issued an order in advance, Gu Zhaojin was able to meet Gu Zhaojue without any obstacles.
But in just a few days, this young man who had grown up in luxury seemed to have changed completely.
Gray prison uniform, messy hair, and a bed covered with straw...
However, the parties involved seem to have adapted well to this drastic change.
As soon as Gu Zhaojin stood outside the door, he heard Gu Zhaojue's smiling voice: "Ha, my royal brother, I knew you would come."
The amulet who came with him brought him a chair. After Gu Zhaojin sat down, he waved his hand and asked him to leave.
As he adjusted his robe, he asked casually, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Gu Zhaojue held a piece of straw in his fingers and asked instead of answering, "Doesn't my royal brother have something to ask me too?"
Gu Zhaojin stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "Why did you choose this time to start a rebellion? Not to mention that you are trying to save your uncle from your mother's family who is about to be executed, you have never been close to the Sun family."
"Oh, my brother really understands me. But there's no reason. I just think I'm more suitable than you."
Gu Zhaojin was in deep thought. It was obvious that Gu Zhaojue was not telling the truth.
"I remember when Princess Fu Nian of Nanxi came to Xicang, you were just trying to trip me up. You probably didn't have any thoughts of rebellion at that time."
Gu Zhaojue put away the smile on his face and stared at Gu Zhaojin.
Looking at his expression, Gu Zhaojin knew that he had touched upon something behind the scenes.
Gu Zhaojin pointed out bluntly: "In just two months, you want to get in touch with the Third Prince of Nanxi Country, who is always known for his wisdom, and convince him to cooperate with you. What can you use to make a deal?"
Gu Zhaojue didn't say anything, and the straw in his hand was pulled into several pieces.
After a while, he finally seemed to give up resistance and sneered, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is really smart. He can observe so much and get so much information by analyzing the details."
Gu Zhaojin frowned. Now Gu Zhaojue seemed like a different person.
He no longer called him "Royal Brother" in a drawn-out tone, but instead called him "Your Highness the Crown Prince" with a mocking tone.
He stared at the expression on Gu Zhaojue's face and paused: "You, are not Gu Zhaojue?"
Although it was a question, Gu Zhaojin had almost confirmed that the current Gu Zhaojue was not the 16-year-old boy.
Although it was incredible, he didn't know why there was such an outrageous guess.
But if that is the case, then all the unexplainable things have answers.
Gu Zhaojue leaned back and leaned against the wall, looking relaxed.
He curled his lips and smiled, but there was a hint of slightly incongruous mockery on his still young face.
"Your Highness, how about I tell you a story?"
After saying this, he began to tell the story without waiting for Gu Zhaojin's reply.
"When I was five years old, the queen passed away, and my father's temperament changed overnight. Even my favorite brother no longer showed any love to me. My six-year-old brother lost his mother and the emperor's love. From then on, he had a hard time in the palace."
Gu Zhaojin looked solemn as he listened to Gu Zhaojue telling another version of the story. Although he didn't know whether the story was true or not, he always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"When he was 12 or 3 years old, my brother met Miss Jiang. The beautiful, pure, rose-like girl entered my brother's eyes from then on."
Gu Zhaojin raised his hand and touched his chest. His rapidly beating heart showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
Did he meet Ning'er so late? He and Ning'er had known each other since childhood.
"When I was 15, my father issued an order to marry Jiang Ning to my brother. My brother was overjoyed that his wish would finally come true. But how could I let my brother marry Prime Minister Jiang's daughter so easily?"
When Gu Zhaojue said this, he actually laughed softly, as if he was satisfied with his strategy at that time.
Gu Zhaojin was anxious and felt sad about his own guess.
"I started to appear in front of Jiang Ning frequently, and we would meet by chance from time to time. The normally housebound Miss Jiao soon fell under my attack."
At this point, Gu Zhaojue stared at Gu Zhaojin's expression and laughed, "Your Highness, I have to say that you are as upright as ever."
He shrugged, "It's a pity that you stuck to etiquette and refused to reveal your love for him to her. It's no wonder I snatched her away from her."
Gu Zhaojin's heart was filled with intense pain; his guess just now came true.
In Gu Zhaojue's story, he and Ning'er really couldn't be together.
Even though they had their father's arrangement of marriage at that time.
Gu Zhaojue saw the expression on Gu Zhaojin's face and raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you trying to say that I'm mean?"
Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are more despicable ones coming later."
Under Gu Zhaojin's cold gaze, Gu Zhaojue was not afraid: "Later, I slowly revealed to Jiang Ning my idea of becoming the crown prince. Jiang Ning, who loved me deeply at that time, was willing to make plans for me."
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something: "Oh, by the way, there is one thing I want to ask you. You should have been poisoned by a chronic poison more than ten years ago. Why is there no sign of it now?"
There was rarely anything in this narrative that he did not understand.
Gu Zhaojin's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to 11 years ago.
——Brother Prince, I secretly heard the imperial concubine asking the maidservant around her to do something bad yesterday! She drugged you!
——These are Astragalus and Coptis chinensis. Prince, you will get better after taking them.
At that time, was it really Ning'er who heard something?
Even if he really knew that someone wanted to harm him, why would he know that using Astragalus and Coptis chinensis could detoxify his body?
Gu Zhaojin fell into deep thought. He was young at that time and didn't know the loopholes.
Thinking about it now, I can clearly feel the irrationality of that time.
Gu Zhaojin said calmly: "It was solved by chance."
Gu Zhaojue snorted and laughed: "Your Highness is really lucky now! But you were not as lucky as you are now back then. The poison has been with you for your whole life. That's why I can easily win Jiang Ning's heart and Prime Minister Jiang's help."
He sighed and said, "You were just a sickly person back then!"
As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly lose interest: "What happened later is not interesting. With the help of Prime Minister Jiang, I quickly gained the support of most of the ministers in the palace, and spent another two years joining forces with the Third Prince of Nanxi Kingdom to launch a mutiny."
