GU YIHAO did not directly reply. He was just paying attention around and it felt inappropriate to speak in front of the ministers on duty at the moment. So that he wanted to have a four-eye talk with Emperor Gu. The ham was immediately approved by the emperor himself and the two went to the study room.
In it, Emperor Gu and Gu Yihao sat opposite to the two cups of tea that the servant had served. After the atmosphere in the study room was quiet and safe, Gu Yihao began to talk about what he wanted to discuss with the emperor.
"I want to know a lot about Gu Wei," he said.
Emperor Gu sipped his tea calmly and nodded slowly. But after his brain worked well digesting the name 'Gu Wei' that was thrown from the mouth of his eleventh son, of course Emperor Gu immediately choked on the tea. Gu Yihao did not respond too much to what was happening to him at the moment and calmly sipped his tea as well.
After Emperor Gu calmed down and took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, he looked at Gu Yihao in astonishment.
"Why are you suddenly curious about Gu Wei? That evil creature, you shouldn't mention it anymore. How about if—"
"He's back," Gu Yihao said flatly.
"Oh ..." The emperor was not very clear. Then immediately widened his eyes and looked at the man. "Whatdidyou say? Gu Wei is back?!" His voice was not very high, but it was enough to make the dark guards outside hear him a little.
Emperor Gu immediately covered his mouth with a somewhat comical expression and frowned. He did not believe that the evil being once defeated by his father or the retired emperor would return. Isn't he dead?
"Where do you know if Gu Wei came back and is still alive?" Emperor Gu's voice was eventually scaled down, as was being careful not to be heard by others. "Your grandfather has eliminated him. So it can't be ..." He felt less confident.
Suddenly Gu Yihao came over and wanted to meet him in one eye. Unexpectedly it would pick up a pretty taboo topic for this Quentian State.
“Dia back.” Gu Yihao assured him.
“How do you know he's back?” Emperor Gu was still suspicious. This son of hers is not making a joke with her for revenge right?
Gu Yihao couldn't possibly say that he was the ruler of the Quentian continent. In this life, he was the son of Emperor Gu, the eleventh son. After all, history has changed a lot. It may be a thousand years more of life. Cultivators were no longer successful and dynasties had changed. Gu Yihao simply did not expect that he would be born as the emperor's son at this time.
Recalling her past with Qing Mao and living happy days, she missed him. Therefore, this time Gu Yihao wanted to kill Gu Wei completely and end the future disaster. Despite having lived through time, Gu Yihao still did not understand much about Gu Wei. Then Hyou was also helpless and could not possibly divulge the secrets of the sky so inevitably, Gu Yihao could only find out for himself.
Emperor Gu who did not get an answer from his son did not force him either. But if it was true that Gu Wei was still alive, then she was depressed as well. “When your grandfather fought with Gu Wei, I was still a prince. I don't know much about what their fight was like because your grandfather didn't tell you the story and everyone has been evacuated to safety. But the only evidence of your grandfather's fight with him is the ruins of the hall that used to be used for such an important event ..”
Thinking of this, Emperor Gu was depressed and remembered the words of the retired emperor back then until he looked at Gu Yihao again. “Your grandfather gave me a message before his death that time. It's shown to you.”
Gu Yihao was slightly stunned. “What is it?” Somehow Gu Yihao felt that this had something to do with Gu Yihao's true identity in the age of cultivators.
“He said, you should never come to the ruins no matter what.”
That was all that the retired emperor had said to Emperor Gu before exhaling his last breath. Despite not knowing what that meant, Emperor Gu did not dare to break. From then on, he would keep a tight lid on the ruins and not let anyone enter them. This was to prevent everyone's curiosity, including Gu Yihao.
But if so, wouldn't Qing Mao still die as well?
Emperor Gu got up and went towards one of the shelves then picked up a rather stiff old book. He came back and put the book on the table.
“What is this?” ask Gu Yihao.
“This is an old book that has existed since our ancestors, about Gu Wei.” Emperor Gu could only give this and hope that if everything would be fine.
Gu Yihao opened the book and saw that the inscription in it used the same ancient language as in the book that Madam Pei had given Qing Mao. He could understand this and frowned when Emperor Gu said that he had absolutely no idea what all the writing meant.
“Do you understand it?” asked Emperor Gu suspiciously. If this one son understood it, where did it all come from?
“I'll find out to make sure. Don't tell anyone else about this.”
“Keep, I'm not a fool. But if it's true that Gu Wei is back, maybe that Qing girl won't be too safe?” Emperor Gu began to recall something else. It's been buried in his memory for a long time.
“Qing Mao? Did grandfather also say something about Qing Mao?”
“No. It's not. Back when the girl was a child, your grandfather always noticed her and even took her to the palace. What your grandfather always asked for must be ‘Did Qing’er have a strange dream last night?’”
“Grandfather always asks like that?” tanyakanya.
“Yes, the sentence never changes. I remember that one day, little Qing Mao once told your grandfather that he had a dream about a black ring, a handsome man who wore a black ring and killed him. After your grandfather found out, he brought Qing Mao to the temple and asked one of the monks who had taoist beliefs,” explained Emperor Gu with a frown, like he was thinking of something else.
“Then what happens after they return?”
“That girl will fall asleep on her return and be ushered back to Qing's house by your grandfather.”
“Do you still remember about that monk?”
“Ya ... he should still be alive and at the temple near the city's current border hill. But it's hard to meet him. Even when visitors who come to the temple to help him give a blessing, the tao monk does not want to appear again since your grandfather died.”
After listening to the information from Emperor Gu, Gu Yihao immediately left the place without saying another word.
“...” The neglected Emperor Gu felt that he was now banished after use. It's sad, he thought.
