Chapter 213 Farewell
Chapter 213 Farewell
Gu Fuying has no obsession with the capital, so leaving the capital now may be a good choice for her.
Therefore, Gu Jiaorong did not say anything, but just listened to her patiently.
"Looking back now, I was so naive and ridiculous back then. How could a man born into a royal family have true feelings? They could kill their own fathers and brothers, let alone a strange woman?"
Gu Fuying's face didn't look so good anymore, and she tried hard to force a smile.
"Love is just a spice to them."
Only now did she understand this truth.
"If I hadn't met you, I can't imagine what would have happened to me after being entangled with the prince. Just like you said before, my parents might have died because of my love. Now, my parents are alive, and that man is dead."
Gu Fuying let out a breath and slowly forced a smile.
This may be the best outcome for her.
Love will come again, but if her parents are killed by her, the guilt will accompany her for the rest of her life.
"I didn't do anything. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself. You made the right choice, so you are where you are today."
Gu Jiaorong shook her head and did not take credit for it.
"There are many crossroads in life, and we can't choose the right path every time, but as long as we can correct ourselves in time, that's good enough. Miss Gu, you shouldn't be trapped by the past. You still have a better future. I don't think your parents want you to live in the past forever."
Gu Jiaorong sincerely hopes that she can move on from the past and find a beautiful life of her own.
Although Gu Fuying has a straightforward temper and is sometimes not very good at pleasing others, when dealing with her, there is no need to worry that she will resort to cruel means. At least she is an upright person.
Gu Jiaorong felt that she deserved a bright future.
"I know, and I would do the same, so I came here today to say goodbye to you and to my past self."
Gu Fuying couldn't explain why she wanted to see Gu Jiaorongrong so much, but she still followed her true inner thoughts.
She thought that if she failed to see Gu Jiaorong when she left the capital, she would definitely regret it.
Fortunately, Gu Jiaorong listened to her nonsense patiently as before, and she was grateful in her heart.
But it seems unnecessary to say this.
Gu Jiaorong didn't say anything, but Yue Yan, who was watching the whole thing, couldn't help but say a few words.
"It's naturally the best that Miss Gu can think this way. What happened in the past is in the past. A girl like Miss Gu will definitely find a husband of her dreams in the future."
Yueyan's expression was so sincere that Gu Fuying couldn't refute it.
"Thank you."
Gu Fuying had said everything she needed to say and didn't stay here to disturb them.
"I'll take my leave now. If Aunt Gu needs my help in the future, you can send me a letter. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Although she knew that with Gu Jiaorong's future status, she would probably not be able to ask her for anything, she still said this, and regarded it as her thank you gift.
Gu Jiaorong nodded. "Whether you continue to live in the capital or not, you must remember what we said today. The past is the past."
After Gu Jiaorong finished speaking, she asked Yueyan to send her away.
At this hour, Pei Xu was about to return from the palace.
Before he ascended the throne, Pei Xu chose to live in Prince Su's Mansion.
Just as Gu Jiaorong calculated, she soon saw Pei Xu's figure.
"Your Highness is back. Are you busy today?"
This time, Gu Jiaorong did not hand the child to him immediately, because she could see that Pei Xu's face was not so good. He must have been angry with the court officials.
"Everything has been arranged almost. In two days, I will arrange for you and the child to be sent to the palace. We will not live in the previous palace. I have chosen another palace that is just right for our family of three."
If it weren't for the fact that now is not a suitable time for large-scale construction, Pei Xu would like to build a palace for them to live in. The bedroom left by the previous emperor is really too unlucky.
He admitted that he was somewhat angry at himself for thinking this way.
But who made him the ultimate winner? !
The pen that writes history is always in the hands of the victor.
What's more, he didn't do anything. It was Pei Yunqing who killed all the royal family members.
However, Pei Xu spoke as if they were an ordinary couple. But Gu Jiaorong knew that it was different after all. In the past, Pei Xu was already a noble status as a prince, not to mention that he was going to be the emperor.
"It's up to the prince to decide. The children and I are not picky."
Gu Jiaorong never made any requests in front of Pei Xu, even though Pei Xu was willing to pamper them.
She knew that the higher one's position, the more they wanted to control everything. Moreover, this was a feudal society where the husband was the most important person.
At the time, she was pregnant with Pei Xu's child, so she could take advantage of the favor and get involved in Pei Xu's affairs, but now she has returned to her previous well-behaved and sensible self.
No one is allowed to interfere with the rights of the superior.
Pei Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Jiaorong's answer. He raised his hand to cover the child's eyes, then lowered his head and kissed Gu Jiaorong.
"Did Gu Fuying come to see you just now?"
Pei Xu knew that Gu Jiaorong and Gu Fuying did not have a close personal relationship, so he asked this question.
Gu Jiaorong knew that she couldn't hide it from Pei Xu's eyes, so she always did things openly and without any concealment.
"Yes, she came to say goodbye to me and to her past self. I also hope that she can move on completely. She's a good girl, and there aren't so many twists and turns."
A girl like Gu Fuying is not suitable to live in the palace, the palace will ruin her.
Gu Jiaorong thought so, but didn't say it out loud.
She didn't know whether Pei Xu planned to take a concubine, nor did she know how he would arrange for her and the child. She hoped Pei Xu would let her raise the child.
Pei Xu did not comment on Gu Jiaorong's words.
If Gu Fuying had not been involved with the prince, he would never have noticed this person.
"Before I ascend the throne, my mother will also return to the capital. She will not live in the imperial palace, but in the prince's mansion. Then I will let her see her grandchildren."
Since the grandmother wanted to see her grandchildren, Gu Jiaorong naturally had no reason to refuse.
"I see."
Gu Jiaorong nodded, but felt a little worried.
The old princess is Gu Jiaorong's real master. Will she notice that Gu Jiaorong has changed?
If the old princess brought it up, how would she respond? And how would Pei Xu treat her?
Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips, no longer interested.
