When I woke up, my whole family was in rebellion!

Chapter 125 Clarifying the Mind
"Before, I didn't care about that position. No matter who is sitting on it, it doesn't make any difference to me."

Before meeting Xie Lingyun, Gu Xingzhi had no thought of fighting for the throne.That position seemed tall, but it was too cold.He hadn't felt warmth at this time, nor had he looked forward to the future, so even if the prince and the second prince had a bloody fight, he was indifferent.

But that position is a little bit better.That is supreme power!
Standing in a high position may bear more.However, you can also have more power to protect the people you want to protect.

After he got to know Xie Lingyun, he felt unprecedented hope and warmth, as if the whole person's life path suddenly had a direction.It is no longer living every day in a daze, but moving forward with a plan and head towards the future.

Even Eunuch Liu said that he is more popular now.

"Now, I hope to be able to sit in that position. Because only in this way can I do what I want to do." Everyone has ambitions in their hearts, but this ambition can be far or near, and there are also attachments and non-attachments.

Gu Xingzhi had ambitions before, but he was not persistent.But now, he has become serious about it and is working hard to do it.

Xie Lingyun knew his attitude, which was actually no different from what she had expected.If Gu Xingzhi didn't have this idea, he wouldn't have chosen to come to Datong in the first place.It's just that the two of them are talking now.

"What about you? What do you think?"

Gu Xingzhi didn't intend to hide his thoughts, Xie Lingyun always existed in his future.So regarding these things, he would not only tell Xie Lingyun, but also want to know Xie Lingyun's thoughts.

Xie Lingyun has no way to be open and honest with Gu Xingzhi about the real situation of Duke Huai's mansion.After all, this matter is of great importance, involving the entire Duke Huai Mansion, even she dare not take this matter as a bet.

"I will support you. No matter what you decide, as long as you want to do it, I will support you."

She has no way to do more, but at least she must let Gu Xingzhi know that behind him, she will always support him.She will not be afraid to back down, nor will she be entangled, as long as Gu Xingzhi is willing to do it, then do it!
Hearing her words, Gu Xingzhi suddenly felt relieved.A smile gradually climbed up his face, Xie Lingyun seemed to have always had this kind of magical power, able to let people be by her side, release all the pressure, and get along without any burden.

Gu Xingzhi didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that as long as Xie Lingyun was by his side, it seemed that all the darkness in the world would not be able to invade.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Since he intends to do this, he is naturally ready.Now that the situation in Datong has stabilized, this disaster relief trip has accumulated a good reputation for him, and it has also allowed many ministers in the court to see a different side of him from the other two princes.

Although Gu Sheng has not expressed anything yet, Gu Xingzhi knows how much help this trip to Datong will bring to him.After returning to Yanjing, these will become his weapons to go up.

A prince without actual achievements cannot withstand the beatings of wind and rain.

From this point of view, he has taken a big step over Gu Xian.

As for the heirs... Gu Xingzhi didn't take it seriously at all. It would be too absurd if the throne had to be fought for by an unborn child—now the son is chosen, not the grandson!
"Do you want Duke Huai's Mansion to help you?" Xie Lingyun asked a little cautiously, after all, she was not sure whether she should ask or not.

In fact, if you are smart, you can't make this matter clear.If Xie Jingzhang were here instead, there would naturally be countless ways to beat around the bush to ask this question.But Xie Lingyun is not Xie Jingzhang, and she and Gu Xingzhi can't use outsiders' means to tangle with each other.

So, even though she asked carefully, she still asked.

She didn't want this matter to become a potential barrier between them in the future.Duke Huai's Mansion and Gu Xingzhi should not be her choice.With these two things, she can't give up no matter what!

When Gu Xingzhi saw her cautious expression, he sighed helplessly, "Are you afraid?"

If she continues to be with her, these things are real problems that they will have to face sooner or later.The power of Prince Huai's Mansion is so carefree, even if Gu Xingzhi said that he has no ideas, people outside will not believe it.

He will definitely marry Xie Lingyun, and he has even made preparations for it long ago, just waiting for the opportunity to go to the palace to propose marriage.

But in this way, no matter what the attitude of Duke Huai's residence or himself is, in the eyes of the world, they are already grasshoppers on a rope.It's like the second prince and the Lu family, they can't be completely separated at all.

Xie Lingyun nodded, she was indeed afraid.

However, what she was afraid of was not Gu Xingzhi, but she was worried that her relatives would be harmed because of her willfulness.After all, in this life, she and Gu Xingzhi came together willfully. In her previous life, she didn't know who became the emperor in the end, so Gu Xingzhi's path was also full of risks.

If possible, she would rather not involve the entire Duke Huai Mansion in the struggle for the heir apparent, even if she is a wealthy idler, it is better than copying and beheading the whole family.

But even if she is not with Gu Xingzhi, it is impossible to leave Duke Huai's mansion.Although her father and elder brother doted on her, Xie Lingyun knew that both of them were strong-willed people and would not change their mind easily.

What's more, it was something that had been prepared for so long.

But now, if Gu Xingzhi wants to embark on this path, there is no turning back.Although she was afraid, she also knew that she couldn't stop it at all.Therefore, although she nodded, she did not intend to back down.

"I just hope that everyone can be safe. Although it is ridiculous to say so, this is indeed my only wish."

Xie Lingyun has only come here for this matter from the beginning to the end. Everything she does is to protect the safety of her family.But her strength alone is too weak, and the situation will not be controlled and manipulated by her at all.

Therefore, she can only do her best and not let herself regret it.

Gu Xingzhi saw worry in her eyes, as if in Xie Lingyun's eyes, the future was full of danger and difficulties.He couldn't help but hugged her, "Don't worry, I will try my best not to get them involved, and even if it gets to that point, I will keep them safe."

He knew that family members held a very important position in Xie Lingyun's mind.Therefore, from the very beginning, he had no intention of using the influence of Duke Huai's residence.

That's why he wanted to come to Datong at the beginning - because he hoped to prove himself with actual performance, not relying on any in-law relationship.
