Chapter 579 The Prince's White Moonlight Substitute (2)
Chapter 579 The Prince's White Moonlight Substitute (2)
There is always a loophole, and someone still poisoned Shen Junru's food.
Huo Yuting quickly found the murderer, who was Jiang Ruixin. However, it was a critical period in the fight for the throne, and the Third Prince would never allow any fighting to occur within their party, so he could only endure the matter for the time being.
However, the heroine Shen Junru misunderstood that he was unwilling to avenge their child just because Jiang Ruixin was Jiang Yirou's biological sister.
Feeling disheartened, Shen Junru proposed for divorce before she even recovered. Not only was this idea strongly opposed by her royal brother and mother, it also angered Huo Yuting. As the God of War, he would never allow his woman to escape his control.
He ordered people to watch over Shen Junru and not to let her leave the palace. After quarrels and fights, Huo Yuting would often bully Shen Junru to his heart's content.
Every time they slept together, Huo Yuting would feel a little softer towards Shen Junru. Finally, he thought that the little princess might be overly worried about the loss of her child. After thinking about it, he simply brought the original owner's child to Shen Junru's room.
In his opinion, the child was not his, but just a toy for Shen Junru to amuse herself, but such behavior hurt the hearts of the two women.
Shen Junru was unwilling and very resistant, and she had the idea of escaping.
The original owner was even more resistant, but as a blind person, how could she not listen to Huo Yuting?
Huo Yuting had no time to care about how the two women cried and were unwilling. He and the third prince's party were secretly preparing to seize the throne.
The emperor has been extremely dissatisfied with the second prince recently. Huo Yuting joined forces with several ministers and staff to incite the second prince to rebel. As expected, this most foolish and brainless prince was tempted to rebel.
However, he didn't know that Huo Yuting had already told the emperor about this secretly, and on the day of forcing the emperor to abdicate, he turned against the emperor and led his soldiers to kill the second prince.
The third prince came under the banner of rescuing the emperor, and with the help of both inside and outside forces, the emperor realized that he had been tricked by his own son. He died on the spot in a rage, and the throne fell into the hands of the third prince. No one dared to compete with him anymore.
However, when Huo Yuting returned to the palace, he learned that the princess had left a divorce letter and set fire to his house, and was forever buried in the sea of fire.
She would rather die than be his princess.
Huo Yuting became depressed overnight. He dismissed his concubines and when he was settling accounts with Jiang Ruixin, she cruelly told him the truth.
It turns out that the little girl who accompanied him, comforted him, and gave him the only ray of light in his childhood in the rockery was actually Shen Junru. At that time, she was wearing a veil and lied that she was the daughter of the Taifu family. Unexpectedly, this led to such a misunderstanding.
As Jiang Yirou's younger sister, Jiang Ruixin knew a lot, and she told her everything her sister had done, almost as revenge.
The more Huo Yuting listened, the more panicked he became, and he fell into deep self-blame and regret. He didn't believe that Shen Junru was dead, and he took people to look for her everywhere like a madman.
He handed over the military power and only kept the throne. On the one hand, he was afraid that the new emperor would be wary of him, and on the other hand, he really wanted to find Shen Junru.
As for the original owner, Huo Yuting told her the truth and was willing to give her some money so that she could take the child home. If she wanted to be with the child's biological father, he would also help her.
The original owner collapsed after hearing this. She couldn't accept it and hanged herself on the beam that night. The child was adopted by the guilty Huo Yuting and stayed with him all the time.
Because Shen Junru once took care of this child herself.
The original owner's story ends here. The poor blind girl has been a tool to promote the relationship between the male and female protagonists all her life.
Gu Zhen touched her chest and felt a sharp pain there. The original owner had a simple mind and had never had any wishful thinking. She loved Huo Yuting and was his legitimate concubine. Everything she did was reasonable, but Huo Yuting should not have used these women to cover up for the heroine.
He also allowed the secret guards to sleep with his concubines, which was a great humiliation.
[What did the original owner ask for? ]
[Leave Huo Yuting, stop being someone else's substitute, and live a happy life. 】
【? Don’t you want to kill Huo Yuting?】 Gu Zhen clenched his fists.
The system sighed: [How can it be easy for a blind girl like you to assassinate the God of War? Just live honestly and give the original owner a brand new life, and she will be satisfied. ]
Gu Zhen was silent. She could feel that this body still loved Huo Yuting deeply. Before the original owner died, she didn't hate the male protagonist, but hated the injustice of the world and her own bad luck.
A bun.
Gu Zhen rubbed his eyes gently. The original owner was scratched by wild monkeys in the mountains when he went hunting with his father when he was a child. The medical technology of the ancients could not keep up, so he went blind. Now you can still gently feel a little bulge on your eyelid, which is the mark left after the scar healed.
After taking the patient's pulse, he felt that there seemed to be some hope, but it would require years of nursing. Gu Zhen had an idea in mind and shouted for people to come in.
The maid Shuiyue opened the door respectfully: "Miss Gu, you are awake."
The original owner had just entered the palace at this time, and because she looked similar to the deceased Jiang Yirou, she was a very special existence in the eyes of all the servants.
Since she hasn’t performed the rituals of a concubine yet, Shuiyue can only call her “Miss Gu” first.
Gu Zhen turned to Shuiyue and blinked her beautiful but lifeless eyes: "What time is it? Has the prince come?"
Shuiyue thought it was a pity. Although this person's background was not worth mentioning, his appearance was indeed outstanding. Even though he was blind, his eyes were not as scary as those of other blind people. Just looking at them made people feel pity.
The ignorant black eyes were as dead silent as a deep pool.
Shuiyue went forward and helped her up gently: "Looking back at what you said, it's just past noon, the prince hasn't come, but he sent someone to tell you that if you are in better spirits today, you should go and pay your respects to the princess earlier and perform the concubine's ceremony. You will be the master of this palace!"
Gu Zhen had a good impression of Shuiyue. She had always been with the original owner and was a kind-hearted girl.
"Thank you, Sister Shuiyue," Gu Zhen smiled softly, "Please take me to wash up. I must not be disrespectful in front of the princess."
When she was at home before, she was familiar with everywhere, and there would never be any obstacles on the routes that the original owner often took. But when she first arrived at the palace, she had to ask others for help in everything.
Shuiyue didn't dare to call her sister, and quickly said she didn't dare. She carefully helped her to go to the next room, wiped Gu Zhen's face and hands carefully, helped her change into a decent dress, and combed her hair into a simple and elegant bun. When she wanted to put on makeup, she was stopped by Gu Zhen.
"No need, just help me to the princess' courtyard." No need to put on makeup, it's not like I really want to be someone's concubine.
Although Shuiyue was surprised, she still obeyed and helped Gu Zhen walk out step by step.
Gu Zhen felt very uncomfortable and insecure because she couldn't see anything. She always felt like she was stepping into empty space ahead.
It took her a long time to adapt but she still couldn't get used to it. Fortunately, Shuiyue was a reliable person, unlike the several maids the original owner met later, who always deliberately led her to do bad things.
The two walked slowly, and when they arrived at Shen Junru's yard, the concubines who came to pay their respects had already gone back, leaving only Jiang Ruixin, who had just married into the family.
She relied on the fact that her sister was the prince's "sweetheart" and was always arrogant in the palace, not afraid of anyone.
Seeing Gu Zhen, she sneered: "I thought my brother-in-law brought back some treasure from outside, but it turned out to be a blind person. He looks a bit like my sister, but he is just a fake and not worthy of being in a formal place. My brother-in-law is really confused!"
