"How's it going?" I saw that the imperial doctor got up after checking Yu'er's pulse, and then I stepped forward to ask.

When the imperial doctor saw me, he hesitated for a moment before looking at Yuan Ying behind me.

"Doctor Sun can speak as bluntly." Yuan Ying didn't pay attention to the details he cared about, and generously told him.

"The young emperor's pulse is normal, it doesn't look like there is any hidden disease. Maybe it's because the ministers are shallow in their learning, and they really can't notice anything unusual about the young emperor. Imperial Physician Sun leaned over and replied, looking sincere and cautious.

Now, it's our turn to be silent.

How so? After changing many doctors one after another, they couldn't see what kind of illness Yu'er was, but now Yu'er was lying in bed unconscious, which was really worrying.

"Lord Wang." Doctor Sun thought of something and said hesitantly. Yuan Ying glanced at him and motioned for him to continue, Imperial Physician Sun wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said tremblingly, "The young emperor's strange appearance, my colleagues in the Tai Hospital have all heard of it, since everyone has no opinion on the young emperor's condition, the old minister dares to say a word, the young emperor may not be really sick." ”

"What do you mean?" What does it mean that Yu'er is not really sick?

"This ......" Imperial Physician Sun didn't know me, and was deeply suspicious of my repeated questioning, perhaps because he saw that even if I was so abrupt, Yuan Ying didn't stop it, so he greeted carefully, I don't know how to explain, Yuan Ying is not in a hurry to explain my identity, Imperial Doctor Sun's eyes wandered around the room twice, as if he knew it, and no longer asked, but replied with my meaning, "Legend has it that there was a secret technique, which originated in the southwest, and used a kind of Gu worm as bait to cast a curse on people, making people sick and tortured and unable to find out. The old minister was thinking, maybe the young emperor had fallen for someone's Gu technique. ”

Gu Technique?!

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Ying and I were shocked.

But it was Yuan Ying who reacted first, and Yun Danfeng sent him away lightly, "This matter still needs to be verified, since this is the case, Imperial Doctor Sun, please go back first." ”

"Yes, the minister retired." Doctor Sun retreated very well and met the second brother at the door, and the second brother sent him away.

"Yuan Ying." I immediately panicked.

"I'm here." He reached over and took me.

"What should I do, what if Yu'er is really ......" What if Yu'er, I really don't know who was tricked, what should I do.

Yuan Ying reassured softly, "Don't worry, it hasn't been confirmed yet, even if someone really secretly casts Gu, you and I are here, and we will definitely find a way to save him." ”

"Old Nine." The second brother turned back. "The sixth is back."

I let go of Yuan Ying's hand holding me and stepped forward, "Sixth? ”

The person who walked in behind the second brother was really the sixth child, the one who loved jade like his life. It looks a lot thinner and a little decadent, but fortunately, people are still familiar with it, he saw me and Yuan Ying, smiled bitterly, and said to me, "Just now the second child has already told me about the cottage, and that day was just in time for me to run errands outside, who would have thought that there would be such a big ......"

I heard that my heart was very uncomfortable, and I lowered my head and sighed.

Yuan Ying walked behind me, stretched out his hand and patted the sixth child, and said, "It's okay to be okay now, don't think too much." ”

"Sixth, I remember that you have a lot of research on foreign arts, so do you know Gu arts?" I suddenly remembered.

"Gu art?" The sixth child was a little surprised, "Why did you suddenly ask about Gu art?" ”

I looked at Yuan Ying, asked him what he meant, and saw that he didn't stop him, so I pulled the sixth child to Yu'er's sickbed. "Take a look, if you can see something, the imperial doctors who have come here for several times can't find anything unusual."

"Don't worry, let me try." The sixth man gave Yuan Ying a look and asked Yuan Ying to pull me back a few steps.

The sixth child took out a jade plate that he carefully treasured in his arms, and pushed the blue-white light onto Yu'er with one hand. The sixth child struggled to support and exert his strength again and again, and his face was already tired, and suddenly, Yu'er coughed violently, and a mouthful of black blood sprayed on the ground, and a living thing wriggled in the blood.

I saw that the sixth child regained his strength and saw clearly the things in the black blood, and Yu'er saw that he had fallen, so I reached out and held him in my arms and asked, "How?" But is it okay? ”

"Nope." The sixth said, bent down and pinched the thing from the black blood, looked at it carefully, and then approached Yuan Ying, and said, "This is a Gu worm, now there is only this one that is spit out with a mouthful of blood, I don't know how much he still has in his body, and the most important thing at the moment is to find out the person who is under the Gu." ”

"This is the Mingxu insect, now in Beishao, I know that one person has it." Yuan Ying saw what the sixth man pinched between his fingers, pondered for a moment, and fell silent again before he finished speaking.

I saw him hesitate, but I probably understood. "The Empress Dowager?"

My heart was cold.

"No," Yuan Ying denied, "Wei Xiao once offered this thing to the Empress Dowager, but as far as I know, the Empress Dowager gave it to Prime Minister Gao. ”

Prime Minister Gao? "I know, I'll take care of it."

If the person who is Gu to Yu'er is really Prime Minister Gao, then naturally, it is inconvenient for Yuan Ying to come forward directly for the time being.

What's more, according to the news brought by Shaoyi, Heng'er is missing, and the clue is broken in ochre. This incident is inevitably reminiscent of Tu My Cottage, the high character on the waist card of the black-clothed man who died in the cave, and the most likely person to kidnap Heng'er in Ochre City is none other than the Gao family.

The night is dark, and there is no moon.

Listening to Yuan Ying, Gao Qi stayed in Shao Palace tonight to keep vigil.

So I went straight to Gaofu.

There was a lot of security in the high mansion, obviously guarding against something.

Nine years ago, when I was looking for purple jade, I visited the mansion once, and now it has not changed much, but it is also convenient for me to find a target. Unexpectedly, when I found Prime Minister Gao's study, I could see a figure swaying in the room, and when I pushed the door open, it was Gao Jinyi who I saw.

Heng'er stood next to Gao Jinyi, Gao Jinyi held Heng'er in her arms, and when she saw me coming in, she was not surprised, she let go of Heng'er. Heng'er saw me clearly and timidly walked up to me.

"Heng'er's capture is really related to you. Is the slaughter of the cottage related to you? ”

Gao Jinyi is still dignified and smiling brightly, she doesn't answer me directly, but her smug look has already explained the answer.

"The matter of Yu'er being tricked by someone can have something to do with you?" I'll ask again.

"Fuyin, how long have we not seen each other?" She has a touching and pitiful appearance, and there is a heart of a demon woman hidden under this skin.

I gave a gentle salute with my backhand, and Gao Jinyi was knocked over by a sudden move, and the wolf bèi even knocked over the table next to her.

"The slaughter of your cottage is indeed related to me, and your son was deceived by someone, which was also done by me, but what can you do, it is nothing more than to lose your temper in my house and smash some tables and chairs. Fuyin, you're nothing more than that. She said softly, as if she had calculated correctly.

I reached out and pinched her chin, and with just a little force, I could hear the crunch of her jaw bone cracking slightly. "In the past, you almost killed me, slaughtering my cottage today, it is considered the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, three hundred and thirty-seven brothers in my cottage died because of you, as well as Fu Ning, the eldest princess, Master Qingyan, I know that you will not sue me today, how to resolve the Gu technique in the imperial house. I have come today only to take your life. ”

Gao Jinyi suddenly gasped, and in her beautiful eyes, there was a kind of love gushing out from the depths. "Fuyin, you dare!"

The strength of my hand increased, and she struggled with tears in pain, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was really distressing. "The man I have come to seek today is your father, but you are wise enough to wait here."

"Fuyin!" Her jaw shattered, and she struggled to squeeze the words out between her teeth, "Do you think that if you kill me, my father will let you go?" Now that my Gao family has great power, I can overthrow the Yuwen clan in an instant! ”

"Then I can't keep you." I turned around and whispered to Heng'er, who had been staring at this qiē in a daze, "Good, turn your back." ”

Heng'er obediently turned around.

"Fuyin, you dare to ......" She didn't finish her words, only to hear a pop, and she gradually opened a pair of eyes to look at me, looking at me in disbelief.

Again, poof.

Gao Jinyi's body trembled violently in front of my eyes, and she drooped softly, never having a chance to finish that sentence again.

My hand was pulled out of her body, holding a heart that was pounding just a moment ago.

How dare I? How dare you?

I sneered and stood up, this was indeed Prime Minister Gao's study.

I walked over to the bookcase and placed my heart, which was still trembling slightly, on the bookcase. I pulled my hand over the curtain and wiped my hands, I turned around and walked back to Heng'er, "Are you following me, or do I inform Shaoyi to take you back to Nancheng?" ”

"Heng'er......" Her voice was so small that I could barely hear it, and I didn't know what she was saying.

"That's all right," I said, holding out my hand, which was still stained with blood even if I wiped it, "if you want to follow me, take my hand and follow me." ”

Heng'er was frightened by the blood-stained and fishy hand, she was very afraid, looked up at me again, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly, she stretched out her little hands and took my hand.

I smiled slightly, "Now that it's decided, I can't regret it." ”

I took Heng'er back to my second brother's mansion, and Heng'er saw Yu'er lying in a coma on the bed.

"If you weren't so strong, you wouldn't be you." Yuan Ying noticed my blood-stained hands, but he only sighed and shook his head.

Heng'er looked at Yuan Ying, then timidly let go of my hand, she walked to Yu'er curiously, leaned over to Yu'er's bedside, stared at it for a long time, and then turned her head and asked me, "Niangniang, is he sick?" ”

I bowed my head and acquiesced, and Heng'er turned her head very sensibly and continued to look at Yu'er, she remembered something, took out the Jinpa from her arms, and carefully wiped the sweat beads from Yu'er's forehead.

Yuan Ying also turned his head sideways to see this scene, with a shallow smile on his lips.

Gao Jinyi, the eldest lady of the Gao family, died tragically in the house, and after dawn, the whole ochre was spread.

Yuan Ying rushed back to Shao Palace from General Qiao's mansion early in the morning.

I was discussing with the sixth brother whether I could use the divine power of Zhaohua Jasper in my body to unravel the Gu Technique in the Imperial Palace.

Suddenly news came from the front garden, Yuan Ying wanted me to enter the palace, I saw that the person who came was a subordinate who had seen in the palace, so I didn't suspect anything anymore, got up and explained something, and got into the carriage that the person came.

The sound of horses' hooves was constant, but slowly, I felt that something was not quite right.

But I can't tell what's wrong.

The carriage stopped, but remained silent for a long time.

I lifted the curtain and found that the person in front of the car was gone.

What's going on here?

I cautiously stepped out of the carriage and watched around for a qiē, which had taken me out of the city.

A figure that looked very much like Yuan Ying's back, standing not far from me, I lightened my steps and walked over. Stepping on the fallen leaves, making a slight movement, before I could get closer, I already realized that something was wrong.

"You're Yuanqi." I say.

The person in front of him laughed, and then turned his head. I was not mistaken.

I remember hearing someone say that Yuan Qi seems to be locked up in a dungeon in the Empress Dowager's palace. But now that he pretended to be Yuan Ying and appeared in front of me again, I don't know if he deceived the people who left the palace, or even the people who were his spies.

There was a strange hula around me, and I looked left and right before I noticed that hundreds of archers were pointing straight at me.

"It turns out that you want to avenge Gao Jinyi." I understood what he was coming for, and I was thinking about what to do with these archers.

"It's useless." Yuan Qi turned out to be like a dead heart, and said coldly, "When Xiyi helped Yuan Ying destroy my plan, I should have understood that you, like Yuan Ying, were born to restrain me. ”

"Does Yuan Ying know that you escaped? He had already regained his memory. "I'm deliberately delaying time, as long as the second brother gets the news and knows that I came out, he may suspect that in the case of the second brother, he will definitely find a way to contact Yuan Ying on the one hand, and follow the clues on the other.

Yuan Qi didn't seem to wait for me to continue, so he raised his hand.

"When Gao Jinyi died, she didn't mention you, but I didn't expect you to be the first person to come out and kill me for her." I moved out Gao Jinyi to stimulate him, but seeing that Yuan Qi was unmoved, he seemed to be dead and had no worries.

No, Yuan Qi is afraid that it will be difficult to move, and now he can only think about how to find a breakthrough and attack from under the noses of these hundreds of archers.

Yuan Qi's hand suddenly fell, and he was caught off guard.

Arrows on the string, shot in an instant.

Hundreds of arrows were fired at the same time, and the scene was extremely spectacular and dense.

Even if I can dodge one side, I can't defend the other.

I was ready to get hurt and was going to fight to the death.

The phoenix roared out of its sheath and went up to meet the rain of arrows, cutting through the sky, leaving a shock, and the sword qi devoured it at a rapid speed.

However, Yuan Qi was behind me and suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it......

I didn't have time to put away my sword in the future, and everything happened too quickly. It's dark......

What's wrong......

What's going on......

I didn't feel any pain.

However, I fell to the side. Takasaki was stabbed by the dagger that Yuan Qi sneaked into, and the whole person shook a little, and he fell to his knees, holding on.

It turned out that the darkness in front of me that I had just seen was suddenly blocked by Takasaki.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Yuan Qi raised his hand again to summon the archers to attack. Hundreds of archers were subdued by the guards of the forbidden palace who came with Takasaki overnight, and their weapons surrendered. Yuan Qi was about to run, a spear stabbed from behind, piercing his left shoulder, and the second brother rode past me, picked up the spear, and nailed Yuan Qi to the tree and howled.

When Takasaki saw his second brother coming, he was relieved and fell down.

I stepped forward to help him, and I had a hundred and a thousand questions in my heart, but I touched the blood of one hand.

The dagger stabbed into Takasaki's upper abdomen, and the blood gushing out of the wound was blue-black, and Motoki's dagger was coated with poison.

"Master Gao, don't worry, I won't let you die." I looked up and asked my second brother for help.

Takasaki reached out and grabbed my cuff and tugged at it, "It's too late, don't be busy." ”

The second brother knew my intentions and ordered his subordinates to ask for a doctor.

"I killed your sister, but you were injured by Yuan Qi in order to save me." It's really ironic, not to mention that Yuan Qi is here to avenge Gao Jinyi.

"The day I know your identity, I will know that it is my calamity." Gao Qi covered his wound and let the blood flow a little slower before he had a chance to finish his words, "The county lord still remembers that we were robbed in the Cangyi Temple. I never thought that you would rush back to save us. ”

What he said should have happened when I went to Cangyi Temple with the eldest princess for the first time. At that time, I entrusted Yuan Qi to him, and took a group of female dependents to escape from the gangsters by separating from him, and when the second brother arrived, I saw that he and Yuan Qi had not returned for a long time, so I went to look for it alone, and that scene happened.

I nodded, remember.

He smiled, the first time I had ever seen him smile.

I used to think that our positions were opposites, and they have always been opposites. When I followed Yuan Ying, he was on the side of the imperial concubine; When I was the queen of Nancheng, he was on the side of the regent of Beishao; Then I went to Beishao, there was Yuan Ying and Yu'er, but he could only be a member of the Gao family.

I generalized him and the people of the Gao family, I hated him, hated everyone in the Gao family, when I woke up in the Nancheng Palace, I hated everyone in the Gao family countless times and wanted to tear everyone in the Gao family apart, but it seems that Gao Qi has never done anything that can't stand me, his position is not allowed him to choose, the only confrontation, I pierced his abdomen with a sword and left him disabled for a lifetime, and he can no longer ride a horse to fight.

He slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch my face, but stopped awkwardly in mid-air, he frowned, and withdrew his hand. "Minister, don't dare to overstep. Nine years ago, when I saw you leave, I promised you to take care of your son for you, and now that the merits are complete, the rest will be returned to you. ”

It was not until he said this that I understood his intentions, but I had never seen it before, nor had he given anyone a chance to see it, as he said, that he did not dare to transgress it. The first confrontation with him was at the time when I was in distress in Cangyi Temple, I was injured and had to reveal my identity.

Nine years ago, I traveled back and forth between the Shao Palace and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and I clashed head-on with him many times. Every time I encounter him in the way, I will secretly get angry and blame him for bad things, in fact, has he really done anything bad to me? Isn't it protecting me?

Maybe......

He may have seen it, and I understood. He breathed a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes......
