After the guard left, the little servant glanced at the cool broken silver in his palm, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he took the silver into his bosom and walked towards King Rui's house.

When he arrived at the door, one of the guards looked at him and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The little guy said: "The guards on the Qingfeng City Lord's Mansion just came to ask to see the prince again, and I have already sent it back, but before leaving, he has something important to tell Xiao De to convey to the prince, and please report it." ”

In Rui Wang's room, a man was sitting in front of a desk in a brocade robe, writing something.

The guard came to him, looked at him with his hands and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, Ah Si who guards the door has been talking back and forth, the Qingfeng City Lord has sent someone to ask to see the prince again, and after Ah Si sent away the people of the Qingfeng City Lord, he said that he had something to convey to the prince!" ”

Gu Xiao stopped the pen in his hand, put it on the inkstone, and said to the guard, "Call Ah Si in!" ”

"Yes, lord." The guard left in response, Gu Xiao sat on the chair and looked at what he had just written, and it didn't take long for Ah Si to come to him.

"I've seen the prince." Ah Si bowed and said respectfully.

Gu Xiao nodded slightly, Ah Si stood up straight, he looked at Ah Si and asked, "What did the people sent by the Qingfeng City Lord say to you?" ”

When Ah Si heard him ask, he immediately said to Gu Xiao: "That person said that if the prince comes back, I want to know if the prince Rui asked someone to take Princess Rui's waist card to Qingfeng City what he did. ”

"That's all?" Gu Xiao's eyes were already a little confused, the Qingfeng City Lord specially sent someone to the capital, just to make this matter work?

"There is another sentence, that person said that if Prince Rui didn't send someone to Qingfeng City with Princess Rui's waist card, would it be sent by Princess Rui."

Ah Si's voice fell, and the confusion in Gu Xiao's eyes became even heavier.

"When he comes again tomorrow, he will invite him into the house and come to me." Gu Xiao commanded.

Ah Si was stunned for a moment, "Does the prince want to see him?" ”

Gu Xiao nodded and said to him: "It's not that the prince wants to see him, it's the cronies around the prince who want to see him, remember?" ”

Ah Si thought for a while, and immediately replied: "Yes, the little one remembers." ”

He originally thought that the Qingfeng City Lord had sent someone over to ask King Rui for something, so he never saw him, but he didn't expect it to turn around like this.

Although His Majesty did not allow him to meet guests, Gu Xiao always felt that this matter was important, so he still asked in advance to understand, and it also saved a lot of trouble in the future.

It has been a few days since that fire, but everything that happened that day is still vivid.

But many people advised him not to go in, and the fire was so great that even those who were beaten with iron were burned.

Unfortunately, he still drenched the quilt and rushed into the fire.

He is a close guard carried by King Rui, although King Rui is unkind, but he is really good to him, and he remembers this kindness.

It's just that he didn't expect that he worked hard to rescue King Rui, but found that he had already been poisoned, and his whole body was curled up together, twisted into an incredible shape, obviously painful.

Gu Xiao still remembered that when King Rui was about to die, he seemed to use all his strength to hand him the King Rui waist card in his arms.

He heard King Rui say something to him intermittently, "Enter the palace and go to see Your Majesty......."

That was the last thing King Rui said, because it was just a hot cup of tea, Gu Xiao saw King Rui's lipstick overflowing with a mouthful of blood, and then, he didn't breathe anymore.

Until death, King Rui's eyes were wide open, and they were full of unwilling and endless resentment, and even Gu Xiao couldn't help but take a step back.

Gu Xiao stood in place for a long time, and then picked up King Rui, who had become a corpse on the ground, and returned to the house, and told everyone not to talk nonsense, "I am going to enter the palace now, the prince is resting in this house, no one is allowed to talk nonsense!" ”

"Yes!" The attendants around Gu Xiao all knew that he was a close confidant of King Rui, and he even gave him a waist card before King Rui breathed just now, and he didn't dare to disobey him at this moment.

Gu Xiao closed the door of King Rui's house and immediately rode towards the palace.

has been by the side of King Rui for so long, and he has seen many things clearly.

This poison must have been ordered by Princess Rui, and this fire was naturally plotted by her.

It's just that he doesn't know, before King Rui died, why did he call himself into the palace?

Princess Rui must have been buried in the fire at this moment, and how could King Rui not know that his time of death had come.

Gu Xiao was very confused at that time, and he didn't have time to wipe the traces of smoke on his face, so he had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

When Zhou Qingwu saw his embarrassed appearance, he even had dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Gu Xiao knelt on the main hall and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Rui died violently, and please ask the emperor to call the shots!" ”

Zhou Qingwu's eyes were stunned, "What did you say?" King Rui is dead? ”

Gu Xiao nodded, and said to Zhou Qingwu: "The princess is seriously ill, and when she is about to die, please ask the prince to come over and speak, but I didn't think about it, the princess not only poisoned the prince, but also lit a fire, and when her subordinates left the house, the fire had not been extinguished!" ”

"What about Princess Rui?" A cold light crossed Zhou Qingwu's eyes.

That woman even dared to kill King Rui.

"Back to Your Majesty, Princess Rui has died in the sea of fire, but her subordinates are incompetent, and when she rescued the prince from the sea of fire, the prince was already poisonous, and he didn't say anything." Thinking of King Rui's appearance before he died, Gu Xiao felt very sad in his heart, "Before the prince passed away, he gave the waist card to his subordinates and asked his subordinates to enter the palace, and his subordinates did not dare to delay, and asked His Majesty to forgive his sins." ”

Zhou Qingwu frowned, King Rui was one of his most trusted subordinates, and he even secretly handed over an elite army to him.

"A Thousand Herbs" was also relieved to stay in the hands of King Rui, but I didn't expect that King Rui would die in the hands of Princess Rui.

"What about Chigusashu?" Zhou Qingwu asked like this, still hoping that this medical book could at least survive.

"Before the fire, "Thousand Herbs" was in the princess's house, and it must have been burned out in the fire at this moment."

Gu Xiao's voice fell, Zhou Qingwu's fingers clenched slightly, and said to him: "Calm down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Xiao stood up as he spoke, and he stood there, quietly waiting for Zhou Qingwu's orders.

Zhou Qingwu looked at him and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the surname of your subordinates is Gu, and the single word is a Xiao character." When Gu Xiao answered, he was a little surprised in his heart, how could His Majesty ask his name?

Zhou Qingwu had heard King Rui mention Gu Xiao, and knew that this was King Rui's most useful cronies, at this moment he looked at Gu Xiao's burnt robe, as well as the blackened place on his face, and suddenly said to him: "From today on, you are King Rui." ”

Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and raised his head in shock to look at Zhou Qingwu, "Your Majesty, your subordinates don't dare to be ........"
