Chapter 162 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 22
The people who kidnapped Gu Xinting were naturally sent by Hong Yanshan. After receiving the order to capture Gu Chengyuan's sister, they began to stake out the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and gather information. They learned that Gu Chengyuan had a biological sister named Gu Xinting, and it seemed that he also had a sister named Yao who had just returned in the past two years, but they didn't care.
They naturally thought that the person their master wanted to capture must be Gu Xinting, Gu Chengyuan's biological sister who grew up with him. So they waited and waited, and finally waited until Gu Xinting took her maid out for a walk. Then they successfully captured Gu Xinting and took her to the secret basement where they gathered, and tortured her severely according to the master's orders.
On the other side, after Gu Chengyuan and Si Ying arrived at the mining city, he ordered the area around the mine to be blocked, forbidding anyone to approach, to prevent the news from leaking out.
He was very busy every day commanding the soldiers to start mining. The emperor also sent him many professional blacksmiths to make weapons, so they hardly took a rest to study how to quickly use the ore to make weapons. After all, the emperor was still waiting for them to send people back with the results.
So Gu Chengyuan has been busy since he came here. He could only tell Si Ying not to run around, to be careful not to get lost, and to be careful. He hasn't been seen for several days.
Si Ying was very satisfied with this. He just kept busy with his own things so as not to disturb her.
So she avoided the soldiers and maids who were protecting her with almost no effort, slipped out of the army camp, and went to the misty forest that Tuan Tuan had surveyed.
The reason why the Misty Forest is called the Misty Forest is because it is shrouded in a fog that can cause hallucinations and coma, and the fog is also poisonous. If you accidentally inhale the fog and don't take the antidote in time, you will quickly become hallucinating, comatose and poisoned, and you will never wake up again.
Therefore, even if the original owner of the previous life came here, he would not be able to enter. Si Ying was naturally not afraid of this little fog. She casually set up a barrier, wrapped herself and Tuan Tuan in it, and began to walk into the foggy forest.
Soon she saw a row of abandoned wooden houses in the misty forest. The workmanship looked very familiar. Si Ying walked forward to take a closer look and found that they were exactly the same as the wooden houses built by Uncle Ming, so it was obvious that this was where Uncle Ming lived before.
Si Ying walked in. The house was covered with dust and weeds because no one had lived there for many years.
Si Ying simply used her spiritual power to perform a dust-clearing spell to clean up the place, and then began to look for useful information.
Soon she discovered that one of the wooden houses in the row was where Uncle Ming lived, and she actually found the wrapped key under one of the wooden boards.
As for the other wooden houses, judging from the things left inside one of them, including the martial arts secrets that Uncle Ming knew, Si Ying concluded that this should be where Uncle Ming's father lived.
In one of the remaining wooden houses, Si Ying found the clothes left behind by the woman, and there was also a tattered book in the house. The beautiful handwriting faintly visible on it was obviously written by the woman, and Si Ying soon found the woman's signature at the end of the book, Yao Jiuyuan.
Si Ying also found many things, including many letters, and a man's jade pendant with a word "Liu" engraved on it. With these things, the truth of everything seemed to be within reach, and a story that the original owner had never known in his previous life was about to come out. Si Ying's mind flashed with understanding, and then she opened the jade box left by Uncle Ming.
Sure enough, the truth was inside. There was an imperial seal engraved with the unique totem of the Yu Kingdom, and there was a letter under the seal.
It says, “Written personally by my daughter Jiuyuan.”
Si Ying picked up the letter, and it was obvious that someone had opened it.
Si Ying took out the letter and read the contents on it.
"My daughter Jiuyuan, how are you these days? I never thought that we would recognize each other as father and daughter, but then we parted in a hurry. I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many days. I wonder if Liu Yanshu treats you well... I am very happy to hear that you are pregnant. This is a blessing for our Yu Kingdom. The journey back home is bumpy. Please take care of yourself and remember to walk slowly. ... I have been feeling worse and worse recently. I am afraid that I cannot wait until the day you return, so I give you this imperial seal and this letter together... Jiuyuan, when you come back to inherit the throne, I will hand over the Yu Kingdom to you."
From the content of the letter, it can be seen that this was written by the Emperor of Yu Kingdom to his daughter, Yao Jiuyuan. No, to be precise, her name should be Hong Jiuyuan.
The reason why her last name is Yao is because she disappeared accidentally when she was a child and was rescued by Yao's father, who adopted her and changed her name to Yao.
Father Yao is the biological father of Uncle Ming who took care of the original owner, so Uncle Ming’s real name is also Yao.
The original owner's mother, Hong Jiuyuan, disappeared accidentally and was rescued and raised by Yao's father in the Misty Forest. Because the Misty Forest is at the border of the two countries, when the Great Zhou and the Yu Kingdom were at war, the original owner's mother, Hong Jiuyuan, accidentally saved the general of the Great Zhou at that time, who was the original owner's father, Liu Yanshu.
The two fell in love with each other as time went by, and at the same time Liu Yanshu also became close friends with Uncle Ming. So, relying on the martial arts they had learned from Yao's father, the brother and sister surrendered to the Great Zhou together with Liu Yanshu, and went into battle to kill the enemy together.
This is also why, when the Duke of Zhenguo talked about the original owner's parents, he always praised their country and the heroes of their people.
Si Ying guessed that the reason why Liu Yanshu was forced to enter the Misty Forest was to save the Duke of Zhenguo who was also leading troops in the war at that time. Because Si Ying saw that Liu Yanshu called the Duke of Zhenguo a matchmaker in the letter, he arranged a marriage between the original owner and the Duke of Zhenguo's son Gu Chengyuan since childhood.
Later, the original owner's mother accidentally reunited with the emperor of Yu State as his daughter, but not long after, the emperor became seriously ill. The original owner's mother was pregnant at the time and wanted to hurry back to see her biological father. Then on the way, she received this jade box secretly sent by the emperor of Yu State. Inside was the imperial seal of Yu State and the letter full of fatherly love.
Judging from the situation at the time, it was obvious that the Emperor of Yu Kingdom intended to pass the throne to his eldest daughter, who was the original owner's mother.
The royal family of Yu Kingdom has always attached great importance to bloodline, and no matter whether it is a man or a woman, the throne is passed down to the legitimate wife rather than the illegitimate wife. The original owner's mother is the eldest daughter of the emperor and queen of Yu Kingdom, so she is naturally the heir to the throne, and Yu Kingdom has had precedents of empresses before.
But now the emperor of Yu Kingdom is not the original owner’s mother, but the legitimate son of the original owner’s mother Hong Jiuyuan’s younger brother.
From this, it can be seen that the original owner’s parents were definitely unable to return to Yu Country and both died.
Of course, these are all reasonable speculations made by Si Ying based on the things left in the wooden house.
What Si Ying speculated were all things that the original owner did not know in her previous life. She did not know until her death that she was actually a member of the royal family of Yu Kingdom. Even logically speaking, if the original owner's mother ascended the throne, the original owner would be the crown princess and the next empress of Yu Kingdom.
Unfortunately, her parents did pass away. As for how they died, Si Ying felt that she had to go back and find time to ask the Duke of Zhenguo, as he must know the truth.
The truth behind it must be shameful, even tragic. Otherwise, the Duke of Zhenguo and Uncle Ming would not have kept it secret from the original owner.
In fact, Si Ying had roughly guessed that it was nothing more than the work of two groups of forces. As for whether it was someone from the royal family of Yu Kingdom who did it behind the scenes, or the emperor of the Great Zhou at that time, the father of the current emperor, Si Ying would definitely find out when she returned.
