Chapter 55 (1/2)
Two days later, he Songfa was also brought back to the Huiwang mansion.
Gu Xingyun asks Wei Feng to take he Songfa to his study.
”I've seen my son.” He Songfa saw Gu Xingyun and made a big bow.
Gu Xingyun helped him up and asked, ”housekeeper he, how long haven't we seen each other?”
”It's been three years. After joining the army, the prince became more and more beautiful and vigorous, and he became more and more like the Lord Hui.” He Songfa sighed.
”How many years have you been in the palace?”
”The old slave followed the Lord when he was ten years old. Now it's thirty-five years.”
”That's growing up together since childhood.”
”Yes, the old slave is the king's servant.”
”How did the father treat you?”
”The Lord has been very kind to the old slave.”
”So you saw him murdered and humiliated and ran for his life?” Gu Xingyun suddenly put away the gentle greetings just now and said sternly.
”Old slave...” he Songfa knelt down in horror.
He was afraid. The scene he saw was so frightening. He was more afraid of being found dead by imperial concubine Wei and Tian Yuchen, so he went back to his hometown and ran for his life. He thought it would rot in his stomach until he died.
”Over the years, you've been the chief steward of King Hui's residence. In less than ten years, there are nearly 100 items sent out by you?”
”Shizi...”
It turns out that the son of God has found out.
He song's hair looks like dead ash.
”Father, over the years, I've been taking good care of you in the name of youth friendship. I even let you be the manager of King Hui's residence, which makes you beautiful. Is that how you repay him?”
”Yes, the old slave is guilty and ashamed of the Lord...” he Songfa whispered, then cried and knelt down in front of Gu Xingyun, creeping and said: ”son of God, you kill the old slave. I'm sorry for the palace, I'm sorry for the Lord...”
”Housekeeper he...” Gu Xingyun's tone was warm.
”I ordered someone to take you to the study. I didn't torture you, but I was thinking of the past. You were the one who grew up with my father, and you were the one who watched me grow up.” Gu Xingyun's voice trembled.
”Yes, the old slave is not a human being. The old slave is an animal. How can the old slave watch the king die miserably. That's the king who has been served by the old slave for 35 years, and that's the king who has treated the old slave like a mountain...” he Songfa was even more ashamed when he heard Gu Xingyun's words, slapped himself in the face and cried.
Gu Xingyun held he Songfa's hand, looked at his tearful face and asked, ”would you like to follow me into the palace, tell the emperor the truth, vindicate your father and delay the evil woman?”
”The old slave is willing, willing to face the saint and tell the truth.”
”OK. In that case, you will let bygones be bygones when you sell the utensils of the palace.”
”When the old slave tells the truth, he will personally go to the Lord to make amends.” He Songfa has no face to live in the world.
”Go down first, have a rest and take you into the Palace tomorrow.”
”Yes.”
Gu Xingyun went out of his study and ordered Wei Feng to arrange a room for he Songfa. He didn't have to close him, but he was not allowed to go out of the Yihua courtyard.
Gu Xingyun walked all the way to the ancestral hall and saw Princess Hui kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and saluting the Buddha beads. She was plain white and her back was thin, but her green silk had turned white at the end of her forties.
Gu Xingyun was sad. He wanted to hide it from his mother. However, once the matter is revealed. Mother imperial concubine, she will know sooner or later. In that case, it's up to him to tell the mother imperial concubine himself.
He settled down and stepped into the ancestral hall. She called out, ”mother concubine.”
