The heart is lofty, but it is riddled with evil diseases; Achievements are great, but there is no freedom.

He can only keep stepping up his pace and keep moving forward, he can't stay, and he doesn't have this qualification.

"Your Majesty." I lowered my head, "The past and the future are all false, only the present is real." In this earthly world, there are only real people, and there are no false people. ”

Li Dai chewed on the meaning of my words, was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said to me, "But this earthly person, which one is not vain? ”

Slightly stunned in my heart, I lowered my head and did not speak.

Li Dai didn't seem to have anything to say to me anymore, waved his hand and said, "Unconsciously I actually said something for more than half an hour, I think you are also tired of staying here with me, let's do this today's matter first, you go back and have a good rest, and I will talk to you another day." ”

I surrender "yes, under the resignation." ”

With that, I bowed my head and exited the study.

Outside the imperial study, Father-in-law Wang had been waiting, and when he saw me coming out, he immediately greeted me.

"Lord Shen Xiang."

I smiled politely at him, "Grandpa Wang." ”

"My emperor is the most generous and benevolent, for such a long time, I guess my lord has a very happy conversation with His Majesty." Grandpa Wang looked at me, and something seemed to be staring at me in his old cloudy eyes.

I felt a little uncomfortable and quietly took a step back.

"Yes, His Majesty Emperor Qi's mind and bearing are incomparable to us." I echoed and wanted to leave, but Grandpa Wang didn't intend to let me go like this, and as soon as he stepped forward, he was in front of me.

When I saw this, I couldn't help frowning.

As if he didn't notice my dislike, Grandpa Wang still smiled and asked me, "I heard a few days ago that Shen Xiang, you were stabbed and injured, I don't know if you are better now?" ”

There was a look of concern in his eyes, which made it difficult for me to say anything excessive.

"Okay." I reluctantly suppressed the discomfort in my heart and replied to him, "It's just a small injury, so there's no need to worry about it." ”

"Yikes!" Father-in-law Wang suddenly screamed, and with pity in his eyes, he held my right hand wrapped in gauze, "Why is it so badly injured?" With such a beautiful hand, how could those assassins bear it? ”

I smiled awkwardly, quickly withdrew my hand, said "tell" at a faster pace, and immediately pulled away.

With my steps flying and my clothes fluttering, I used my speed to get rid of the strange gaze that stared at me from behind me.

"My lord, why are you in such a hurry?" Bai Zhi was still far away when he saw me walking quickly this way, and couldn't help but step forward and ask me in confusion.

When I saw that Bai Zhi was still coming to greet me, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

"I'm hungry and want to go back and get some food." I made up an excuse randomly, and I didn't care if Bai Zhi was okay or not, so I bent down and got into the sedan chair.

"It's noon, and it's understandable that Lord Shen Xiang will feel empty in his stomach." Chen Kun replied to Bai Zhi, who was still frowning.

Bai Zhi also looked up at the sky, and was surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that so much time had passed unconsciously.

He nodded to Chen Kun, and then ordered the soft sedan chair to go, and he followed beside the sedan chair.

This time Chen Kun did not accompany him, but he still let his subordinates escort me out of the palace, I know that he is afraid that I will not hear from me again and disappear on the spot, but this time I didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary, after all, it will be much more convenient to collect debts from Chen Kun at that time.

"My lord, are we going to the inn?" Bai Zhi couldn't quite be sure of my thoughts, so he could only ask me.

"Yes." I replied to him, "Our envoy team this time is all in the guest house, and if we don't go to the guest house, where should we go?" ”

Bai Zhi was not surprised by my decision, but he couldn't fully guess my purpose, which undoubtedly made him have an urge to ask me questions, but the current situation was not right, so he couldn't help but ask, and followed the team towards the inn.

After arriving at the inn, Bai Zhi also wanted to ask the doubts in his heart all at once, but as soon as I returned to the inn, I closed the door and thanked the guests, under the pretext of resting and recuperating, and ordered no one to disturb, and he didn't even have a chance to ask.

"Your lunch, sir......

Before Bai Zhihuan finished speaking, I interrupted him, "Don't eat, you don't need to prepare lunch and dinner for me, you can send someone to help me guard the door." "Heshun

Bai Zhi didn't say anything more, and stood silently at the door without moving.

I glanced at the shadow guarding the door, my face did not change, but my heart was a little stunned.

But now wasn't the time for me to be stunned, so I softly pushed open the window behind the screen and jumped down.

Deftly avoiding the people of Chen Kun's mission, I slipped out of the guild hall all the way and sneaked into the Gongqinguo Mansion.

At this time, the Gongqinguo Mansion can be said to be a festive scene, on the beams, on the plaques, there are red lanterns and red colored silk everywhere, and the servants and maids who come and go are also colorful and bright, but I don't know why, today's Gongqinguo Mansion gives people a particularly quiet feeling, as if everyone is cautious, for fear of annoying someone.

Although I felt strange in my heart, my movements did not pause in the slightest, looking for the route in my memory, I quietly came to the roof of Gu Yuancheng's bedroom, and gently uncovered a piece of roof tiles.

The room was not as bad as I imagined, but Gu Yuancheng fell on the bed, unconscious, his hands and feet were chained with iron cuffs, and the thick incense lingered in the closed room, as if he had been suppressing something.

Suddenly, two veiled maidservants appeared outside the door, showed a sign to the guards guarding the door, and went into the house with their food plates.

The two maidservants first put the food plate on the low table next to the bed, and then a maidservant girl in a white dress in a green dress put a black pill into the mouth of the unconscious Gu Yuancheng.

Gu Yuancheng sighed and slowly opened his eyes, but the moment his eyes opened, he suddenly sat up, and tried all his strength to break free from the iron shackles that locked him, but his internal strength seemed to disappear out of thin air, and he couldn't use his strength.

"Let go of me!" Gu Yuancheng roared.

"Less... Young master, you... It's time for lunch. One of the maidservants in a yellow dress trembled and brought the meal to Gu Yuancheng.

Gu Yuancheng had a cold face, turned his head away, and didn't pay attention to this servant girl at all.

"Young Master, you... If you are today... And don't eat it, that... The slave maid had no choice but to ......" the maid in the yellow dress was trembling all over, but the food plate in her hand was held steadily, "I had to grieve the young master." ”

After plucking up the courage to finish speaking, the maid in the yellow dress put down the food plate in her hand, and quickly went to Gu Yuancheng's acupoint with one hand, but at the moment when she started, the maid in the green dress and white dress standing on the side covered the mouth and nose of the maid in the yellow dress with a white handkerchief from behind.

Before the maid in the yellow dress struggled, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

The maid in the green dress and white dress put the fainting maid in the yellow dress on the ground well, but took out the key and stepped forward to start unshackling Gu Yuancheng.

"Young master, the antidote you just took in will not be able to fully work until after half a pillar of incense, until then, please don't use your internal strength." The maid in Tsing Yi and white dress lifted the veil on her face, and it was the wooden tree I knew.

"Mei Yan is really good at being a brother, and he actually followed my father to partner up and deceive me!" Gu Yuancheng's face turned pale with anger, if it weren't for someone guarding outside, he estimated that he would have to smash something to calm the anger in his chest.

"Master Mei said that he did this in order to repay the kindness of the grandfather of the country in the past, and now the kindness has been repaid, so he gave the slave maid this antidote and this drug-soaked handkerchief to save you." Mu Ying helped Gu Yuancheng to stand up and explained with a smile.

"What about Chen Yi? How is he? "I was deceived and imprisoned, so Chen Yi's situation is probably not much better, otherwise he would have broken in with his own people.

Mu Ying shook his head and said, "That day, when you were stunned by Grandpa Guo, Madame took advantage of the situation when Guard Chen was not paying attention, ordered someone to knock him unconscious, locked him in the back of the deserted garden, and sent people to guard him day and night, the guards were all masters, and the slaves and maids had no way to find out the news of Guard Chen." ”

"This couple is a good show together!" Gu Yuancheng gritted his teeth.

I had to take every precaution, but after all, I was caught by my own father.

Sometimes he really doesn't understand why he is as talented as his father, but he always has to cover up the sins he committed in the past for his mother and unconditionally meet all her requirements. Is this what love is called? Pack up the basket for her, take responsibility for her, and as long as she whispers a soft word, he can give up everything for her.

Even his son.

"Have you run out of lunch, young master? It's time to come out, don't linger, or we'll get boarded. The guard guarding the door felt that the delivery time was too long today, and immediately reminded him.

Mu Ying was shocked, and immediately replied "I know", and then looked anxiously at the windows around him, but the windows had all been sealed and could not be opened at all.

It's too bad now, if the guards are suspicious and come in to investigate, with the young master's current state, it is impossible to escape from the hands of so many guards.

Mu Ying was so anxious that his head was sweating, but Gu Yuancheng looked calm and relaxed, tilting his head slightly, quietly looking at the roof above.

Mu Ying felt strange, and then looked up, and when he looked up, he found a small bare crack on it, and a bright eye blinked in the gap.

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, and she was almost about to exclaim, but fortunately, her reason stopped her in time, so she didn't make this move.

"It's time to come down, right?" Gu Yuancheng, who had always had a cold face, actually raised his eyebrows and laughed at this time, and Mu Ying on the side saw this situation and immediately guessed the identity of the person who came.

I'm afraid that there is no one else in this world who can make the young master like this, right?
