Chapter 120: A Transaction

When Gu Chenyi walked out of the cell, he felt a little incredible.

What he originally thought was that as long as the official family did not attack the Gu family and Bingran, he would never choose to compromise even if he died.

The environment of the prison was bitterly cold, but he didn't care, he just calmly asked the cell boss for a few books, flipped through the calligraphy, and his body revealed a kind of calmness that looked at death as if he were at home.

And when he woke up this morning, he was suddenly released, and the official will was to be loyal to the British public, and he had sincerely confessed his mistakes and repented, so he was punished with a small punishment and a big commandment.

But Gu Chenyi knew that he had never "admitted his mistakes", let alone married the county lord of Xiyue according to the order, but the jailers and the officials who announced the decree were secretive in the face of his doubts, and just forcibly took him out of the prison and let him continue to go back to the barracks to handle military affairs.

Among the small leaders on duty in the prison, there is a man named Wei Shun who has served in the Gu family's army, and has followed the British Duke to the battlefield several times, Gu Chenyi knows him, and he also takes great care of Gu Chenyi.

What made Gu Chenyi especially concerned was that when Wei Shun sent him out, he whispered to him, "Young General, look away." ”

Gu Chenyi subconsciously thought that her ability to get out of the heavenly prison must have something to do with Bingran, and it was very likely that she handed over the blood lingzhi she had found for her to Princess Duan, and this speculation undoubtedly made him desperate.

I'm waiting for Chenyi outside the prison.

When the people who came to pick him up from the British Mansion saw me, they stood a little farther away.

It wasn't until he stood in front of me in a dignified manner, ignoring the public opinion, that he hugged me into his arms, and the strings that had been tight in my heart were finally loosened.

I gently rubbed my head against his chest, "Fool, you scared me to death, go back, it's okay, but you have to remember to make up for my birthday." ”

He suddenly looked at me very seriously and anxiously, "Ran'er, why did the Duanwang Mansion suddenly give in, and even the officials didn't hold me accountable for resisting the decree?" ”

"It may be that the official thinks that the country you saved for him on the battlefield is more valuable than a marriage contract." I smiled mischievously, "Or can you go back and ask your daddy?" ”

"Yes, I'm not joking." Chen Yi stared, "Especially the attitude of Duanwang Mansion has changed so quickly, I will never believe that Duanwang is a person who can change his mind so easily." ”

"So, did you answer them anything?" Chen Yi didn't seem to care about this prison sentence at all, and he only had worry about me in his eyes.

"No, I just made a deal with Princess Duan." I pretended to be relaxed.

"What deal?" Chen Yi immediately became nervous.

"I will take out the blood lingzhi and return you safe and sound, and I will never have any intersection with Duanwangfu from now on." I said, "But the will to give marriage is from the government, and I can't afford to make him take back his fate, I'm sorry." ”

Chen Yi's face showed a sad look, and his eyes were full of bloodshots, "Ran'er, why are you so stupid, there is no blood Lingzhi, what should you do with the poison in your body?" ”

"Let's talk about it." His appearance made me feel distressed and a little reluctant, I lowered my head slightly, not wanting to see his broken appearance, "For me, Gu Chenyi can not be my groom, but he must be safe." ”

"The Blood Lingzhi was retrieved by you, and now it is used to save you, which is very suitable." I laughed, "Since you gave it to me, I have the right to decide how I want to use it." ”

Chen Yi suddenly hugged me tightly into his arms, my eyes were dark, and only the sound of Chen Yi's breathing was intertwined with mine.

I said softly, "Chenyi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, yes." Chen Yi's voice trembled with extreme restraint, "Actually, when I first learned the news of the marriage, I thought countless times that there was still room for change, but in the end I found that resisting the decree was my only way out. ”

"And when I know you're going to blood Lingzhi...... At that moment, I had a myriad of crazy thoughts, I thought about taking you away, and even thought about dying, but I knew that you would not approve of my actions. ”

"Ran'er, Ran'er, we, what else can we do......" Chen Yi let go of me, his expression full of pain.

I looked at him quietly and stretched out my hand to soothe his frowning brow, "I can't let you ruin yourself, and I don't want others to ruin us like this, let alone marry someone I like with a noble shrew." ”

"So Chenyi, are you willing to gamble with me?"

After the winter, the weather became colder and colder, and just three days before the heavy snowfall, something happened in Duanwang's Mansion - the lord of Xiyue who was to be married fell ill, which was the root of the disease left by the poisonous frost of Baili.

At the same time, after observing the celestial phenomena at night, the Qin Tianjian in the palace informed the official family and King Duan about the matter of the county lord of Xiyue, saying that the county lord and the British prince had a conflicting fate, and the day of the engagement of the two was even more dangerous, and now it was necessary to make a decision on the county lord.

So the two families who were preparing for the marriage could only stop, the British government was noncommittal on this matter, and the British prince Gu Ye took the lead in saying that the prince had figured it out, and the Gu family would obey all the arrangements of the saint, which attracted the courtiers to praise the grandfather of the country and understand the righteousness.

In fact, the "preparations" for the marriage of the British government were progressing very slowly, and they were carefully calculated, which was very different from the vigorous and resolute style of the Zhenbei Army.

Duanwang and his wife were originally quite calm, after all, Mrs. Qinglan, who had detoxified Princess Duan, had donated her life's income from studying medicine and poison and her collection of classics to Gu Xiubei, the chief physician of the current Tai Hospital, before she died, and the relevant records of Baili Poison Cream were also included.

However, when Gu Xiubei was invited to Duanwangfu for a consultation, his answer poured a basin of cold water on the heads of everyone in the palace

According to what he said, Jun Qinglan did leave the antidote prescription to him back then, but on top of her prescription, there were only medicinal materials, no dosage and preparation method.

This statement made Duanwang and his wife almost collapse, but Gu Xiubei seemed indifferent, and only replied with one sentence: "There is medicine but no medicine, and there is nothing that can be done about old decay." ”

At this time, the county lord of Xiyue was already bedridden, and Duanwang Li Su was furious because of this answer, but he didn't dare to be rude to Gu Xiubei at all.

The ancient family is a family of doctors, and the first emperor was able to survive in the troubled times and finally succeeded in ascending the throne, which is inseparable from the help of this master doctor and his younger brother Fu Sinan. The identity of the person in the apricot forest in the north of Gu Xiu and such an experience, as the prince, Li Su must not be despised and neglected.

And after soaking for a long time, Gu Xiubei gave him two "methods" to bring Mrs. Qinglan back from the dead, or find her heir.

After Li Su decisively ruled out the first method, he remembered the girl "Xiao Qi" who Jun Qinglan took with him almost every time he walked out of Lanyuan - now, she is Shen Bingran.

Su Yingxue did not inform her husband of the content of her conversation with Shen Bingran, and Li Su did not know what Su Yingxue was planning and operating behind the scenes, he always thought that the current situation was the result of the benevolence of the official family and the concession of the British government.

So, when Li Su proposed to his princess to ask Shen Bingran, the "heir", to come to the rescue, Su Yingxue immediately fell to her knees with a pale face and cried bitterly.

Then he knew everything, looking at the woman crying in front of him with pear blossoms and rain, he was distressed and vaguely felt a little strange.

The couple thought about it, but they only felt cornered, and Li Su, who was still the head of the family in the end, put down his face and went to the British Mansion to ask Gu Shizi, who was almost forced to the guillotine by him and the princess, to be a "lobbyist".

And Gu Chenyi's heart is also depressed these days, Bing Ran has been avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally since he got out of prison, plus the marriage contract he is carrying really makes him feel extremely disgusted when he thinks about it, he can only let himself be busy with military affairs to distract himself from this matter, and almost live in the barracks, Gu Chenda, Gu Chensui and Gu Shan, the younger brothers who have not started a family, also take the initiative to accompany their brothers in the barracks every day.

Until Li Su came to the door with his eldest son Li Kuo, the atmosphere in the British Mansion was a little delicate.

And when Li Kuo said his request on behalf of his father, Gu Chenyi couldn't wait to get up and leave immediately, but because of his identity and friendship with this classmate who had studied together since childhood, he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

Let him be a lobbyist and ask Bing Ran to save the county lord of Xiyue, this matter shamelessly made Gu Chenyi only want to be rude.

But Li Su's apology and request were indeed 100,000 sincere, which can be seen from the conditions he put forward, as long as Gu Chenyi helped with this, he would not only return the blood lingzhi used to save the lives of Bing Ran and her friends, but also dissolve the marriage contract in the name of the two people's incompatible lives and the poor health of the Xiyue County Lord.

In the end, Li Su even said that if Bingran was really willing to save the county lord, he would personally go to the official family to ask the official family to marry Gu Chenyi and her.

Gu Chenyi finally agreed to be a lobbyist this time, but he also put his posture quite low and said that he could only try hard, but he would not allow anyone to force Bing Ran to save people.

Li Su, who knew that he was at a loss, agreed.

However, when Gu Chenyi hurried to the residence of Gu Shen and his wife with the lost blood lingzhi, reality gave him a bolt from the blue.
