Chapter 69： Reason for adoption

Why do you say it may be a half-brother?

Because this timeline is very suspicious.

I knew myself when I was a child, but then a big change happened, the emperor imprisoned the queen, and then the queen died and the original owner was adopted by the old marshal.

There is a very likely explanation here.

That is, the "original owner" was the queen's child, and secretly raised his own child, but was discovered by the emperor, so the emperor was furious and imprisoned the queen again, because the original owner was the queen's child, so for the child's growth, the old marshal adopted the original owner.

The logic of this explanation is fine. But there is a big bug in it. Knowing that the queen may have an illegitimate child, how could the emperor not investigate whether the child adopted by the marshal has any connection with the queen. Since the emperor has nothing against him, the possibility of him being the queen's child is very small.

So Gu Huan just thought of this conclusion and ruled out this possibility from his mind.

He was just scaring Chu Xinglin.

Seeing the blond prince's instantly sluggish appearance, Gu Huan turned around indifferently, passed by Chu Xinglin, lay down on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and placed his hands neatly on his chest.

"You should go out..."

Before he finished speaking, his lips parted slightly.

Because Chu Xinglin kissed him lightly on the forehead suddenly, seeing the slyness in Chu Xinglin's eyes, Gu Huan guessed that the other party might have thought it through, it was impossible.

"It's a goodnight kiss to the...family."

Chu Xinglin said with a smile.

"I'm not your family."

"Maybe later."

Gu Huan blinked.

family?

No he doesn't want to.

Chu Xinglin's family has enough affairs to write another novel.

"It's not too late. You should also take a shower and go to bed quickly."

Not only did Chu Xinglin not get a response, but he also didn't seduce anyone. He only got a dismissal order that was neither salty nor frivolous.

"..."

Come out of Gu Huan's room. Chu Xinglin's optical brain artificial intelligence flashed, and said.

"Your Highness. I think what General Gu Huan means is that there is everything in the dream."

"..."

Chu Xinglin felt that his ai should really be restored to factory settings.

...

Because of doubts about this body's life experience, Gu Huan took advantage of the gap in the holidays to fly directly from Jialin to the Marshal's Mansion in the capital.

The marshal's mansion still looks like a small bridge with flowing water and antique flavor.

through the garden. Gu Huan walked into the study of the old marshal, his eyes fell on the potted plant he saved last time, walked over a few steps, and stroked the flowers and leaves with his fingertips.

When the marshal came over, he stopped his fingers stroking the petals for an instant, straightened his fingers and saluted him as a military salute.

"teacher."

The old marshal shook his head lightly.

"Why are you so cautious at home?"

Gu Huan pursed his lips slightly, but didn't refute, his cold golden eyes turned to the petals to draw a soft color.

"This potted flower has come back to life."

"Not only is he alive, but he looks better than before." The old marshal smiled. "Look, after cutting off the rotten branches and leaves, it looks alive now."

The old marshal's words seemed to have other meanings, probably a metaphor for what happened in the empire recently, Gu Huan listened silently, and suddenly heard a compliment.

"You did a good job."

Embarrassment instantly appeared on the serious and indifferent face.

"The teacher is absurd. I just happen to know some potting skills."

He saved flowers because he knew how to save them, so he just happened to save them.

The reason why he organized the mecha team was because he happened to know the relationship between Chu Fengyuan and the Zerg.

The words of the old marshal made him realize the fact that he was already in this world, and later it was Chu Xinglin who let him find a direction to follow.

He has been pushed to help the world.

He is not that good, he just did what he could, but he got a lot of honors.

He can ignore all kinds of compliments on the optical brain, but such a compliment from the old marshal made Gu Huan a little embarrassed.

"There is nothing dissatisfied with knowing a lot. Knowing and being willing to do it is the most remarkable thing." After changing the topic, Gu Zehai looked at Gu Huan who came for a surprise visit. "What's the matter? Why did you come here suddenly?"

Gu Huan nodded slightly.

"Teacher... I have a question to ask."

Gu Zehai showed an appearance of listening carefully, and Gu Huan asked tentatively in a soft voice.

"Did you adopt me because of Queen Gu Nan?"

"..."

Hearing Gu Huan ask this question, Gu Zehai was silent for a while, then asked back.

"Have you always thought so?"

Gu Huan's eyes flickered, and he responded lightly.

"Yes."

Old Marshal Gu Zehai gave a wry smile. "It is indeed because of his last wish that I will take care of you. But adoption is my decision."

Anan asked him to take care of Gu Huan who was still in the orphanage at the time, but never told him directly that he hoped he could adopt him.

"I adopted you because your talent is outstanding and excellent."

From childhood to adulthood, he has shown outstanding abilities.

Although he did a lot of absurd things after becoming a soldier, these existing images still made Gu Zehai hope for Gu Huan.

"I understand." Gu Huan's eyes flashed with deep thought, and his eyes slightly lowered.

Gu Zehai, who didn't know what Gu Huan was thinking, felt a little complicated. "This is the first time you mentioned Gu Nan to me..."

"I thought you'd never say that name again."

Some names are like a scar on the heart, which will be torn when mentioned.

His son Gu Nan is a scar that his adopted grandson and his own grandson cannot mention.

It is also the scar of the emperor who is now in the cloud.

"After all, you, like Xing Lin, were raised by him."

Gu Huan pursed his lips.

What the diary said was true.

Queen Gu Nan really knew herself when she was a child, not only that, but he also secretly raised herself.

Why keep him? Is it the same reason as Old Marshal Gu Zehai?
