As soon as the decree came out the next day, King Xi Chuan, who was hiding at home and pretending to be cold, had to 'recover', and he couldn't all the other brothers take care of his father, so he pretended to be dead and refused to go, right?

The rumors in the capital suddenly fell silent and calmed down.

Who said that the crown princess had bad intentions, obviously the emperor was seriously ill before, and he needed the crown princess, a personal disciple of the master of the void, to take care of it properly, and now that it is getting better, won't the princes go to serve one by one? Moreover, the clansmen, nobles, and important ministers are all accompanied by each other, which proves that the emperor is really sick, so how can he say that he 'killed the king and usurped the throne'. Of course, conspiracy theories will not dissipate, and some people think that the crown princess is looking for someone to carry the black pot, 'As soon as the prince enters Beijing, the emperor must have died suddenly under the service of so-and-so, and the husband and wife should cooperate with each other, and it is not wrong to plot the murder and ascend the throne!' ’

The latter statement is very marketable, at least the 'served' without exception think so. Especially in the evening, the men and horses of the forward battalion under the command of the prince could be seen outside the Beique Gate, which made many people have a small calculation. But the nearly 1,000 carts of silver were too long and too slow, and the army was encamped, and it would be transported to the city after a few days when all the carts arrived.

Yuan Yi Palace, holding the last cart of silver, holding the news of the capital sent to him by Mingxiu with carrier pigeons, saw his daughter-in-law stuffing his 'good' brothers into the palace to 'serve', and also intimately let their dogs share weal and sorrow together, although it was not necessarily a good idea, but he felt very happy in his heart. I don't know how these brothers will be suspicious of each other, or who is bold enough to really dare to kill the king and blame others.

Thinking of the latter possibility, he suddenly smiled and thought about it carefully. Even if Ah Luan has more capable people around her, her control over the palace will not be strong enough to ensure that there will be no accidents at all, and according to her temperament, she will never put the emperor in danger, but she still did it......

***********************

Lao Guan and Gu Xi of Yumen Pass were also very depressed, and the method of lighting the grassland fire was also sent to Xia Ji in Yangguan, and the materials and incendiary bombs were prepared, but they just didn't use it well, and the lamp fell down before it reached the top of the camp, and only burned the piece near the pass, and when they burned to the Huns, they not only ran away, but also shoveled up a piece of turf and extinguished the fire. After the inspection, a few people who made the lamp felt that the alcohol was strong enough, and made a sneaky drink point, and now there are still people who have not woken up, and it is impossible to wake up in the future.

Gu Yao transferred Xia Ji to Yanmen Pass, and he took a thousand people to guard Yangguan in person. However, Xia Bufan still stayed in Yangguan, which can be regarded as giving Xia Ji, who is quite faceless, a little comfort. I have to say that when a thousand heroic and high-spirited cavalrymen of the Zhenbei Army walked into the city, the originally low morale suddenly changed.

Gu Yao directly asked everyone to follow the Zhenbei Army to practice, including the young and middle-aged people in the city, those who can practice directly join the army, and those who fail to join the auxiliary army, even if they go to the back to burn the fire, if they dare to escape, they will be killed, and no one will be given face. Xia Bufan almost didn't survive the first five days, and after Chi Qiyu found out, he strongly asked Lao Guan to go to Yangguan, and Lao Guan happily sent the second ancestor away. Gu Ke was also taken to Yangguan by Gu Yao, and let him be in charge of logistics and cooperate with Jiukangtang's first aid work.

Gu Yi and his father strongly applied to go deep into the grassland with the 1,000 people who were captured, just like Huo Qu's illness back then. It's just that Gu Yao didn't look down on him, and knew that there was an abnormality in the capital, so he asked him to go back to the prince, and he picked another person to cooperate with the prisoner. Speaking of which, this guy named Fang Liangzhi still has a little relationship with the Huguo Mansion, and is the only son of the old couple that Gu Ci met when he first bought the small restaurant of Zhishuangzhai. He has been wandering around Sanguan in the west to make a living, and was favored by Chen Su and accepted as the leader of the private army. Later, when he returned to Beijing, he learned that the county lord had saved his parents, and let the old couple spend their old age in Zhishuang Zhai, and immediately sold Chen Su in the water. This person doesn't have any character, but he is very serious about his kindness, relying on his intelligence, Yumen Pass has won a few times, and now let him follow the Zhenbei Army to practice his physical strength for a month, and then go to the grassland to wander, maybe he can have a big harvest, and he can return to his hometown in the future.

The most difficult thing on the steppe is to discern the direction, but now there are several useful direction finding methods that have been popularized in the army.

Two of these sketchy methods are also due to Gu Ci. She originally only understood the most commonly used watch positioning for travelers, but this year there is not even a clock, even if there is, can not be held by each rider, what to see the stars, annual rings, crowns, ant nests, etc. are completely impractical, fortunately she finally remembered a way to rely on the sun, a one-meter-long stick stands, and the shadow position of the stick head is measured once every half an hour or more, and the left foot is a little bit and the right foot is two points, then 'due north back south left west right east'. She popularized this method to Gu Yao and Gu Chong through Xiao Lu's mouth before they set out on the expedition, and as for whether it was easy to use, they had to go to the vast prairie to try it themselves.

***********************

Serving the disease is actually a hard job, although you don't have to do it yourself, but people have to hold it all the time, after all, many eyes in the Qianqing Palace are staring at them, and their eyes have to be stared at the people who are working, for fear of carrying the black cauldron, and from time to time you have to confirm that the emperor is panting, and the mental activity is very frequent and tired!

When the prince was reorganizing his army outside the city, seven groups of people took turns one by one. Everyone is looking forward to the prince's coming back soon, some people really want to get rid of it as soon as possible, go home and hug their wives and children to sleep well, but some people think that the prince, the praying mantis, is going to come in to catch cicadas, and if he is not ready to do it, it is too late to be a yellow finch. The rumors outside set off a new wave, 'The prince's car is a soldier not silver, and there are siege equipment hidden, but he doesn't want to continue to be the prince, and he will kill you while you are sick', or in other words, 'The crown princess has poisoned the emperor, and as soon as the city gate is opened, the emperor will be angry, today are the two little princes, tomorrow it will be the turn of the king of Zhongshan, and the day after tomorrow King Guangen, all of whom are ready-made people with black pots'. The people who kept a few Xiaoshun merchants and their 'confessions' before were also gearing up to do a big job, waiting to follow the prince and rush into the palace to catch yellow birds.

Dear, I'm waiting for you to enter the city!

***********************

Recently, Gu Ci, who has been talked about by everyone, sneezed and wandered around the study for a long time. Because the elders were sent to do the work of serving the sick at an old age, they were generally not in a positive mood at work, and the daily meetings were very neat, so that she had a lot of time to pay attention to the war report. The second prince of the Xiongnu in Yumen Pass, was burned to pieces by the grassland fire caused by the Kongming lantern that carried incendiary bombs and fell regularly, and ran to Yangguan to find the king to complain, and the two gathered to attack together, so Yangguan would break the city.

When she wrote to Gu Yao and Gu Xi, she thought that this method might be useful, but she didn't expect to get this result.

Looking at the casualty figures on the battle report, she was a little sad and trembling, as if it was the highest since the start of the war......

It makes people feel even worse......

Gu Ci called Ming Ting to talk secretly, and some things could only be discussed with him, "If I don't let the prince enter the city, what do you think?" ”

Ming Ting was a little surprised, lowered his head and thought carefully for a moment before speaking cautiously, "If the prince doesn't reply, the benefit is obviously that the calculations of the families are broken, but their goal will shift from the prince to you, after all, as long as you know that you are in danger, the prince will definitely not sit idly by." ”

"What if the safety of the palace can be guaranteed?"

"No one dares or can guarantee this. We can only ensure the safety of you, the crown princess. ”

Gu Ci didn't speak for a while, she couldn't figure out some things, but she couldn't talk to Ming Ting for the time being.

"I don't want him to come in now. The emperor is lying still, others want to discredit him, and there is no place to defend himself. Sometimes it's not that you say that you didn't do it, but some people believe it, not to mention that when the emperor wakes up, the daylilies are cold. But I'm different, if I heard that something happened to me and the prince didn't enter the city immediately, others would only think that the prince treated me as Chen Jiao. They had to reassess whether the idea of using me to contain the prince was worth it. In this stalemate, there may be a turnaround. ”

"What do you mean by turnaround?"

"The first one who can't survive is definitely not us."

"You want to, no matter what...... Improvement or deterioration, the longer it drags on, the more innocent we are, but the people who are close to the sick are not necessarily innocent? ”

"yes, we can't follow their lead."

"Do you need me to pass the news on to the prince?"

“…… It's not good for us to secretly spread it ourselves, too many people are staring at it, and it's easy to be discovered. I'll think about this again. ”

"Then let the chamomile come back?"

"Good. Let them all come back, and then help me call Yiqing, I have something to ask him. ”

"This person's background is simple and clean, quite good, the master is the former Si Nongzheng, no one took care of him after he died, he was bullied, and he looked for the doctor at that time to take medicine from Wen Qing, Wen Qing saw that he was pitiful, took him for a while, and was favored by Mr. Mu, and picked them into the Qianqing Palace. But please don't see him alone, I'm afraid it's not right. ”

"Of course, Gantang will guard the door. Also, I always felt as if I had seen him, but I didn't remember him at all. ”

It stands to reason that Yiqing's appearance will not be easily forgotten, but she just can't remember where this familiarity comes from.

Yiqing came in lightly, and Gan Tang covered the door and went out to guard.

Gu Ci was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so he asked him to sit down without courtesy, "Thank you for giving me the idea that others can also come and serve." ”

Yiqing smiled softly, "The slave doesn't dare to be a thank you." ”

Gu Ci tilted his head suspiciously and looked at him carefully for a while, "Can I ask you something?" ”

"The minion must know everything."

She was speechless to find that he was actually a little shy again.

"Why are you helping me? I don't think Mr. Mu will explain this to you. ”

Yiqing was stunned for a moment, looked at her seriously and said, "The slave is willing to do this, and he is willing to serve the crown princess for the rest of his life." ”

"Why?!"

“…… You may not remember that the minion and the previous master provoked the Lord of Jinjun outside and almost died, but it was you who rescued him and was spared. ”

Gu Ci searched for his memories blankly, as if there was once such a thing? Which maid did she ask to come forward at that time?

"Oh...... That's right. So what's wrong with your master? ”

"The injuries were so severe that he passed away a few months later."

“…… I'm sorry. Condolences. Gu Ci saw that his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he couldn't say any other words of comfort except for the four dry words.

"It doesn't matter. At that time, I couldn't thank the county lord, and I couldn't help it. Yiqing raised her eyes and smiled, her eyes slightly red.

"Uh...... Why didn't you tell me before? ”

"Slaves are weak and can't repay their deep kindness, how can they ......?"

It's also oh, if he ran to say that he wanted to repay the favor before, it is estimated that she would not take it to heart.

"Then, with so many more people entering and leaving the Qianqing Palace, can Chief Mu still ensure the emperor's safety?"

Yiqing carefully looked at her expression and found that her eyes were as clear as water, with sincere concern and a hint of confusion.

"Master Mu is the person handed over to the emperor by Taizong, so it should be fine."

"Really?!"

She seemed to be much more relieved, but her eyes were even more confused.

Yiqing thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

"Then I'll be relieved." Gu Ci breathed a sigh of relief and was in the mood to gossip, "Besides that time, have we seen each other?" ”

"The slave has followed the master and met the crown princess a few times."

Why am I not impressed?

Gu Ci glanced at him curiously, thinking carefully, as if he looked embarrassed and lowered his head, and the roots of his ears turned red again. She reached out and picked up the milk snacks on the table and watched them while eating, secretly happy in her heart, it can be regarded as beautiful and delicious! Could it be that she became arrogant after getting married? Or is this shy man too fulfilling?

Gu Ci, who was happy and sad, shook his hand when he took the teacup, and splashed out some tea, although it was not hot but it hurt a little. As soon as she let go of the teacup with an 'ouch', Yiqing suddenly appeared beside her, grabbed her wrist with one hand, took the teacup with the other and put it away, and said eagerly, "You...... Can it hurt badly? ”

A hurried word 'you' startled Gu Ci's memory, and she broke free of his hand and retracted. This voice is too similar to the voice that shot her in Chongxi Palace when she was six years old!

Yiqing let go of her hand a little crampedly when she saw her dodge at first, but seeing the shock, realization and vigilance in her eyes, she seemed to understand something, her face was as white as paper, and she trembled her lips in a panic and stopped.

Gu Ci was so nervous that her whole body stiffened, she was so stupid! This time there was nothing on him, and there was nothing to throw at hand! Is it too late to call someone? Maybe break the teacup, Gan Tang will come in and take a look when he hears the voice?

Yiqing looked at her with a frightened face of sadness and self-blame, a pair of beautiful big eyes turned around to think of ideas, and couldn't help but say sadly, "I'm sorry ......"

Gu Ci stared at him in disbelief, this is an apology?!

"Wouldn't it be useful to say I'm sorry?" It's over, it shouldn't be this line, change it quickly! "That...... What do you want now!? ”

"You, if you still hold a grudge, I will dispose of it with you."

The negotiation style is completely derailed, how to take this remark?!

Gu Ci looked at him in wonder, he looked like he was being slaughtered, standing there motionless. She slowly reached for a paper cutter in the pen holder, and his body shook, and he only stared at her with a mournful gaze, until she pointed the knife at him, and there was no other response. Gu Ci felt that he was so stupid! Look at his skill in taking the teacup, what use can this broken knife have, not to mention that she is not capable of tying people!

Shouldn't it be called?

“…… Don't be afraid, I won't resist, don't do it yourself, you'll be scared, just call someone. ”

Yiqing's heart was like ashes, but she kept looking at her fair and translucent face with attachment. Maybe you won't see it again......

Gu Ci hung his hand weakly, wouldn't such a strange progress seem to me to be even more stupid! “…… Why are you killing me? ”

Yiqing's originally gloomy eyes lit up in disbelief, and she eagerly explained, "I didn't! I didn't know it was you! If I knew you were here, how could I possibly let you see blood......"

“…… What do you want to kill the crown prince? This time I gave me an idea to hurt him?! ”

“…… That time, Master told me to go to the ......, I don't know who was inside......" Yiqing stumbled and explained to her, her face full of anticipation, "I really want to help you this time!" Even if you want the emperor to die, blame others, or expose anyone in front of the emperor, I am willing to help you! I don't even need you to say anything, as long as it means so, I will do it! ”

"I don't want you to hurt anyone!" Gu Ci suddenly became nervous again, this person is too dangerous!

Yiqing saw that her face was wrong, and hurriedly and carefully reassured her softly, "Then I won't do anything, I will protect the emperor." ”

“…… It's true? ”

"I never lie to you!"

…… How to deal with such an obedient villain? Why don't you call someone?

The two looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and the scene was silent for a while. Gu Ci's big eyes were scrutinizing and guarded, and the other pair of eyes that were not small were full of excitement and joy, and there was a kind of pampering that she had seen in the eyes of many people.

Gu Ci settled down, pondered for a while, and then spoke, "Well, let's sit down and talk......

Yiqing immediately sat back in her chair and looked up at her, she felt that if there was a tail behind him, he must be wagging. She didn't stand stupidly, she found a chair by the desk and sat down, quite far away from him, and saw that he smiled at her a little disappointed and a little nervous and flattering.

This kind of chamberlain is absolutely wonderful!

"You just said, which master asked you to go to Chongxi Palace to kill people?" Whether it is Mu Wanqing or that Si Nongzheng, the severity of the problem is very different.

Yiqing's gaze became a little hazy, and she kept looking at her, "...... He is considered my master in the palace, but he should actually be my second brother. He smiled apologetically at her, "His real name is Wang Yi, my eldest brother Wang Yan." ”

“…… You're going to kill me......"

"There are a lot of things they didn't tell me, I didn't know before! My mother was sold in Beiguan and traveled from a merchant to the border between Nanyi and Changli City, and they delivered me when she gave birth to me. At first, I didn't know who they were, but then I was taken to the capital and entered the palace with my second brother, and my second brother told me. ”

It turns out that there is ethnic minority blood, no wonder it is particularly delicate. With this age difference, is it possible that he is not a brother, but Wang Yan's son? But can Wang Yan really be so perverted and send his son to be an internal servant? Thinking about it this way, it is more likely that they will be half-brothers.

Yiqing's eyes were full of curiosity when she looked at her, but she didn't have any contempt and disdain, and smiled softly, but when she saw the bright surprise in her eyes, she couldn't help but laugh deeper, and the heart that she thought was disgusted and hated by her began to beat vigorously again. "At first I didn't know what they were trying to do, but then I realized it. The second brother is good to me, he doesn't let me handle many things, but occasionally I need to do something very secret, because I have some kung fu, so I am allowed to go. I never wanted to hurt you, I'm sorry! ”

The last three words were said gracefully and lingering in his heart.

Gu Ci was shocked and puzzled, "Why?" Are you familiar with me? "He should be very accustomed to calling each other 'you, me,' and that feeling of nostalgia doesn't seem to be fake.

"I saw you the day after you were born......"

Gu Ci was shocked, damn it, Su is so powerful?! The toothless little BABY can also make people remember it until now?!

"My eight characters are said to be the most compatible with you, and they complement each other very well everywhere, so then I was chosen to go to the Qingyi Yuan to fight for you."

It seems that it was that meeting, the second uncle got in touch with Wang Yan and Wang Yi again, but Yiqing was only a few years old at that time, and he was indeed innocent.

"Later, when you went to Tiemei Temple, I went back to the palace. It seems that this is what made Master Mu remember me. ”

"What's your real name?"

"That's the name, nothing else."

"Oh...... I'm sorry...... "Hey, the painting style is wrong, it's clear that I'm a victim......

Yiqing has completely relaxed, and the two of them suddenly feel as if they have known each other for many years. "It's nice that you can say that you can see it like that......"

"What's the mystery of that?"

"I've been dreaming since I was a kid, on and off...... There's things about you of all ages. ”

Gu Ci was shocked for the second time, and there was another rebirth?! This script is not scientific! Sooner or later, the system will crash!

"It's just some clips, like I'm less than ten years old, feeding you, bathing, changing diapers at the age of three, ......"

"Nonsense! I don't need that thing anymore! ”

He smiled and said nothing.

“…… And then you say......"

"We ate and slept together, and there was no one else, and it seemed like there were just the two of us in that room. I take care of you, I talk to you, although you can't open your mouth, but you can understand, you just can't speak. ”

“…… Do you do the laundry and cooking? Where did the money come from?! ”

Yiqing wanted to laugh but didn't laugh out loud, suddenly tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at her obsessively, "Xixi...... "It's great that you can talk and laugh!" It's great that your eyes are so beautiful!

Gu Ci looked at him blankly, at a loss, "That, it's all a dream, a dream is not allowed......"

Yiqing let tears pour out, and there was clear love in her eyes, "...... Yes, it's just a dream...... but only in a dream are we together, and we grow old.

Gu Ci really couldn't help but be shy, and hesitated to take out a handkerchief and hand it to him to wipe his tears. When he did take it, she regretted it again.

Damn, I'm stupid enough to be scum today!

Yiqing put away the handkerchief uselessly, turned around and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Gu Ci straightened his expression and said, "Maybe I am not the same person as you in the dream, there are good and bad in the dream, then try to make less bad and more good now, and it is not bad to make up for the regret." Right? ”

Yiqing listened carefully, and laughed like a breeze and a moon, "What Xixi said is that if it was the previous life, you would have made me happy for a lifetime, so this time it is my turn to do something for you." ”

“…… That's not what the words say! Didn't you say that I was a waste in my last life? It's all you take care of me......"

"You're not! You're smart and understand everything, just ......"

"Thank you." Gu Ci wanted to try his best to dilute the obsession in the heart of this suspected reborn person, lest another real reborn person overturn the vinegar bucket. "Actually, you don't have to do anything, although I have become different, but I also hope that you will be happy in the future, then I must think so."

Yiqing smiled warmly, "I'm telling you, I don't want you to feel troubled, I just want you to believe me." ”

"I didn't bother. I just thank you for saying it......" Gu Ci felt extremely verbose, and simply summarized his statement.

Yiqing was full of emotion, did not speak, and full of love flowed from her eyes. Gu Ci felt that she must be blushing, but she felt that it was necessary to draw a clear line in this way, and her position was very firm.

After a long time, Yi Qing spoke, "It's the slave who has lost his manners, please forgive the princess." ”

Gu Ci sneered, "I don't seem used to you talking like this." Why do you call me Hi-hee? ”

"You have a seal engraved with the word 'Xiya'. You don't bother to call you 'Xiya' or 'Yaya', you just call 'Xixi' to react......"

"No one else in your dreams?"

"Just the two of us."

"I've always been blind and dumb?"

"Yes, I have spent my whole life not being cured."

"How old did I live?"

“…… Less than forty. ”

It seems that his eyes are red again, and he really asked the wrong question!

"That's ......"

“…… You'll be too fond of poison and bedridden......"

“…… Do you think I want to hear this? Shouldn't you say something nice? ”

Yiqing laughed, blinked away tears, and said dotingly, "It's still just as beautiful." "I will always be the most beautiful in my heart.

"I look exactly like I am? Are there a lot of beautiful clothes or something? ”

"You've always been like this," Yiqing frowned and recalled carefully, "...... I can't seem to remember what you're wearing, but I think it looks amazing. ”

Gu Ci asked all kinds of life questions in a different way, and finally determined that he really saw it in a dream, not a memory.

"How do your medical skills compare to Master?"

"It's not as good as Master Xiao, he is really a rejuvenation master, after all, I am just a patient for you."

"Then, would you like to study medicine with Master in the future?"

Yiqing was stunned for a moment, "I just want to be able to accompany you and pour tea." ”

It's stressful!

"What a waste! Besides, there is no conflict here, you are not from the East Palace yet, if you go back to the Qianqing Palace in the future, you can at least come to the East Palace to study medicine with the master. ”

"Okay." Yiqing is very happy, she feels that she has not changed at all, but she can say what is in her heart, so she is better than in her dreams.

Gu Ci had a toothache, he was fooled so easily, and it also reflected that the emperor should be fine, I don't know if the love of an inner servant will make her brother crazy......

“…… Is it really out of the way? ”

Yiqing, whose IQ had recovered, smiled widely, "There will be no problem." "If there is a problem, it must be solved, at least it can be much closer to her.
