Guo Yuma in Princess Hanyang's Mansion had already known the news of His Majesty's assassination on the way back from the sacrifice to heaven, but the strange thing was that there seemed to be no movement in the Daming Palace, which was a bit unusual. He sent several groups of men to investigate, but none of them seemed to return.

The night was already deep, and the snow was still getting heavier. Guo Yan realized that something might have happened in the Daming Palace, although the Guo family's preparations were sufficient, but he didn't know what Nianyun's safety was, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

An oil lamp was about to burn out, but he still had no sleep, and he didn't dare to sleep, so he ordered someone to add oil.

Then he suddenly felt as if something was moving under his feet. When he looked down, he saw a huge mouse, the size of a kitten, which startled him.

Just as he was about to call someone in to kill him, he suddenly saw that the rat did not seem to be afraid of people, and did not run away because he was discovered, but was circling around his feet very regularly, and his dark eyes were looking at him, as if he was deliberately trying to attract his attention.

Guo Yan was taken aback, leaned over to take a closer look, and found that there seemed to be something under the armpit of the mouse.

He went to catch the rat, but it deftly dodged it, but the paper roll under its arm fell.

Guo Yan reached out and picked it up, unfolded it, and saw that there was a string of medicine names on it, which seemed to be a prescription. The rat squeaked at him a few times, then slipped out of the crack in the door and disappeared.

This kind of strange trick is the handiwork of the Liang Imperial Doctor of the Shang Pharmacy. He also knew that the old imperial doctor was a close confidant of Nian Yun and His Majesty, so this prescription was very likely to be the news that Nian Yun had sent from the Daming Palace.

But there were a bunch of drug names on it, and he couldn't see why, so he ordered someone to call the old man in the princess's mansion.

The old man came, Guo Yan took out the prescription, the old man squinted his eyes, leaned under the lamp and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "I don't know who prescribed this prescription?" ”

Guo Yan said: "What kind of recipe is this? ”

Lao Lang said: "Fang Zi is a recipe for clearing the liver and dissipating the eyes, it is very profound, but it is just ......."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the medicine under this is ...... It seems a little strange, the old man has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has never seen such a match, and the sex taste is completely different. Moreover, this is written in ink for prescriptions...... The smell is fragrant, because the prescription is often placed in one place with the medicine, and the doctor will never use this kind of ink that is easy to transfer flavor in his daily prescription......"

Guo Jun took the paper and read it carefully, but he still couldn't see the reason.

At this time, Xue Chu'er came in and asked with a smile: "The concubine heard that San Lang invited Langzhong in the middle of the night, but is there anything wrong?" ”

The matter involved the royal family, Guo Yan did not tell Li Chang, but he did not deliberately conceal it from Xue Chuer. Guo Yan shook his head and said, "I'm fine." It's just that Fang just got a prescription, it may be from Penglai Palace, please Lang Zhong take a look, it is a little weird to say that it is a medicine primer. ”

Xue Chu'er also knew that the source of information in the Daming Palace had suddenly been cut off in the past two days, and Guo Yan was anxious about this matter.

She walked over, took the recipe and looked at it for a while, sent Na Langzhong back, and then looked up and said: "If the concubine guesses well, I'm afraid that the palace is controlled by Gonggong Xue, and Niangniang wants to ask San Lang to try to help." ”

"Oh?" Guo Yan immediately leaned over, "Where do you see it?" ”

In the past, in the teaching workshop, those women knew more or less about some medicines that regulate the body and aphrodisiac, so Xue Chu'er roughly recognized these medicines. She pointed to the medicine and said: "This cistanche, shaped like a man's penis, is often used by men for aphrodisiac, and it seems to mean something in this recipe." The amount is seven coins, and all the concubine can think of is Xue Gonggong Xue Qixi. ”

She paused and continued: "Looking down along this line of thought, there are twenty-three pieces of atractylodes, Cang, Lao, Shu, and Planning. Xue Gonggong came to Niangniang's side for exactly twenty-three years, which can be understood as twenty-three years of careful planning. Alum, homophonic rebellion. The concubine's understanding is that Gonggong Xue has been planning for a long time and finally rebelled. ”

She should have some truth in what she said, Qixi has been by her side for more than 20 years, and as her cronies, the things in her hands are not ordinary. Guo Yan gasped, "Go on." ”

"Ginseng, homonym for the human body. The two branches, or the two Niangniang and the prince who are now staying in the palace. Zixuan is also known as forgetting worries grass, and has the meaning of mother's virtue. When these two flavors are connected, it should mean that the mother and the prince are still safe and worry-free in the palace, so there is no need to worry. ”

Guo Yan nodded, "What about this keel and curly cypress?" ”

Xue Chu'er thought for a while, "The dry cypress can survive and turn green again when soaked in water, so it is also known as the Soul Restoration Grass." There is also a keel, the concubine thinks, to the effect that she seems to ask San Lang to save His Majesty...... Or is it to turn the tide and save Li Tang? ”

Guo Yan's face was very solemn, and he slowly exhaled, "If she is still safe in the inner palace, I can do it with confidence......

In a hidden basement in Chenjia Village, two mysterious guests are imprisoned.

It is said that he is imprisoned, but the food and drink are very fine, and there are even specially equipped cooks, and the treatment is countless times better than that of ordinary masters.

Of course, not many people know about it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside from far and near, and someone outside knocked on the door three times, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." ”

From the wooden door that was chained outside, a one-foot square window appeared, and Lukfook heard the man's voice and walked over, and the window brought in the dishes, chopsticks, and food.

Luofu took it the same and placed it neatly on a mahogany table in the room.

Even if there are only two masters and servants in the house, there are still eight dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, which are very rich, and the cook's skills are no worse than those of the Shang Food Bureau.

Li Chun sat in front of the case, Liufu bowed down to prepare vegetables for him, and the man outside the door took advantage of this gap and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xue Gonggong's Shence army has arrived, and it is in ambush five miles outside Chenjia Village. ”

Liufu filled half a bowl of duck soup for him, Li Chun took a sip and asked, "But you understand, the person behind it is Yun'er?" ”

The person outside replied: "Yes, King Li is now in Chenjia Village, and no other forces have been found to intervene. ”

Li Chun said lightly while eating: "Okay, then let's wait for tonight, control the second person in one fell swoop, and talk about the rest of the things when I go back." The weather is different, and you are afraid of snowstorms, so you need to go back to the palace early to prepare for the disaster. ”

The person outside pondered for a moment and asked, "Mercy on my subordinates?" ”

This sentence actually asks whether if you encounter stubborn resistance, whether you must take it alive or would rather be killed than let go.

Li Chun pondered for a moment and said very calmly: "No need. ”

At this time, if he can't be ruthless, maybe there will be countless troubles in the future, just like when he didn't have the ruthlessness to directly imprison Yun'er, which led to today.

As a father, he can't bear to kill his son, but as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he must ruthlessly exterminate all those who threaten the monarchy, even if the other party is his own son.

The man stopped talking, and Liufu silently served Li Chun with dinner, and Li Chun suddenly said: "When I return to the palace, I will start to do the things after Lihou, it has been more than ten years late, and I can't let her down anymore." ”

Luofu said softly, "Your Majesty...... Or is it decided? ”

Li Chun smiled bitterly: "At this time, I'm afraid that she is no longer rare, but what should be given, I still have to give." ”

When he ascended the throne, she still had some hopes, but he didn't give them. Up to now, for her, the queen is still a concubine, maybe it really doesn't matter, but she has slowly become the only one in his life, and she has become the cinnabar mole in his heart that can no longer be erased.

After he had eaten, the people outside the door took the dishes and other things from Luofu's hands and quietly left.

When the man was gone, a short time later, he heard a sound of footsteps, and through a wooden door, he only opened his mouth and called tentatively, "Your Majesty? ”

The people in the room laughed: "Second brother, the person behind is really you." ”

A "sure enough", which made Li Yun's face outside the door a little distorted, and snorted coldly: "The good prince chosen by His Majesty is just a waste who dares to risk the world's condemnation for women, and he is stupid!" ”

It was also for the sake of women, he provoked His Majesty's anger in the first place, so that he lost all the preferential treatment of the prince and was sent outside the palace to be a walking corpse! But why, Li Heng just wanted to force the palace, and His Majesty accepted it calmly?

For women? For what kind of woman, in fact, it is also different. It is naturally different for a woman whose ability is not enough to support her huge ambitions, and a woman who may be able to work for the well-being of Datang. To some extent, if he himself was not for a woman, why would he have no successor?

"Oh, if you had the ability to get rid of the boss without leaving evidence, I wouldn't have embarrassed you."

The voice in the room was calm and majestic, and at that moment Li Yun had an illusion, as if he was the one who was imprisoned.

But Li Yun came to negotiate with him, not to hear and teach. Thinking about it like this, he finally regained a little bit of courage and said coldly: "Since Your Majesty is already in prison today, why don't we talk about the conditions." ”

"Hmm, what do you want?" Li Chun's tone was very casual and casual, still a sense of superiority.

Li Yun gritted his teeth, trying his best to make his tone sound grim, "Please Your Majesty issue an order to abolish the crown prince, pass on the throne to this king, and move to Xingqing Palace with Guo Guifei after the Zen throne, and no longer interfere in politics!" ”

His actions still seemed a little naïve and ridiculous in Li Chun's eyes, and Li Chun replied casually: "So, since you said your conditions, then I will also talk about my conditions." I'll answer you tomorrow in one day. ”

One day, Li Yun doesn't care about the time of this day, he can wait for a year, let alone one day? But His Majesty seemed too calm, not at all like a prisoner, and the set time of the day seemed to be confident, as if he could be taken down in one day, which made Li Yun a little uneasy.
