() The emperor was lying in the palace, and he had not gotten out of bed for many days, saying that the foot of the bed was soft, and he was unable to give up all day, and even the young and beautiful concubines on the side could not lift his spirit.

And because the emperor was in poor health and could not go to court, chaos began inside and outside the palace, and the ministers outside the palace had already discussed a lot, and even proposed to let the emperor establish the prince early, and the angry emperor almost beheaded him.

"Quickly change me to a doctor, if you can't cure me, you will drag me out and cut it, a group of wine bags and rice bags!" The emperor lay on the bed and said weakly.

The concubine on the side knelt on the bed and pressed the emperor's body, and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, there are concubines here, and the concubines will send people to collect famous doctors in the world to treat Your Majesty." ”

The emperor tilted his head to look at the concubine beside him, shook his head, and then sighed again, and said: "You, you concubines, can only play for me when I am in good health, once I encounter something, who can really solve my worries and problems, and talk well all day long, worrying about my body, it is nothing more than worrying that I am dead, and you will lose these rights!" ”

The concubine beside her hurriedly got out of bed, then knelt on the ground, and said very aggrievedly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood the concubine, the concubine is wholeheartedly thinking about Your Majesty, and the concubine is willing to share all the worries for Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor looked like I didn't believe it, beckoned to the concubine, motioned for her to come over, and then said, "Then are you willing to die for me?" ”

The concubine froze in place.

The emperor sneered and scolded: "Get out! ”

The concubine hurriedly got up and wanted to escape, but was stopped by the emperor again.

The frightened concubine almost couldn't stand still.

"Go, call me over to the far hall."

The concubine hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, the concubine is going to shout!" ”

Then the concubine ran out of the dormitory.

After a while, Gu Yuantang walked in.

"Son-in-law, please greet my father! May my father be the emperor..."Gu Yuantang knelt on the ground, and was interrupted by the emperor before he finished speaking.

"Alright, alright! Stop all the bells and whistles! I know you want me to die sooner than anyone else. The Emperor lay weakly on the bed with his eyes closed, as if all the people in the world were enemies of him.

"Erchen doesn't dare, even if Erchen wants this throne again, he doesn't dare to have this kind of thought!" Gu Yuantang knelt down in front of the emperor and said crying.

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "It's good if you don't dare!" After all, you are my sister-in-law, no matter what you think, I will not do anything to you, but as long as I am still alive, you will be honest with me! ”

"Yes, yes, what my father taught!" Gu Yuantang replied again and again.

"Do you know what disease I have?" The Emperor asked.

Gu Yuantang thought for a while and replied, "Erchen heard that the imperial doctor said that his father was poisoned. ”

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "There is also a imperial doctor who said that I was not poisoned, but these are not the most important things!" ”

Gu Yuantang's eyes rolled around and asked, "What is the father emperor worried about?" ”

The emperor sighed and said: "The first emperor once loved the king of Chu and wanted to pass the throne to the king of Chu, but this throne was taken away by me, and now the king of Chu is dead, but he still has a son, named Gu Ziyuan, if this son is not removed, I will not be at peace for a day!" ”

"Father's intention to let his sons kill him?" The prince's inky eyes were scarlet-colored.

The emperor did not answer directly, but said: "Don't you want the throne, if you do this well, this throne will be yours in the future, and only in this way can you keep this throne." ”

On the outskirts of Qingcheng.

Qingcheng is a small city that is still more than half a distance from the capital.

Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan hurried day and night, and only arrived in Qingcheng on the evening of the third day, but before they could find a place to rest, an unknown killer jumped out to intercept the two of them.

After a fight, the two fled, now hiding in a heavy haystack.

The killers searched back and forth, and the two of them held their breath and stared firmly at the small cracks in the haystack, and from there, they could see the killer's boots.

I don't know how long it has been, but when there was no sound outside, Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong breathed a sigh of relief and no longer tensed their bodies.

They didn't come out immediately, but waited for a long time, and didn't see the killer come back, so they came out of the haystack and removed the hay from their hair. ”

She looked into the distance and felt that the road ahead was uncertain. It's only been three days that so many killers have already appeared, if you continue to get close to the capital......

Gu Ziyuan also sighed, and swept away the hay on his body for Bai Rong, he was no longer as glamorous as before, fortunately, neither of them was a noble person, even if he described it as withered, he could endure it

Live.

"We're going to rest here tonight." It's been searched by killers, and it should be safe tonight.

Bai Rong nodded.

The two of them lit a fire, ate some dry food, and sat down in front of the fire to discuss the next route.

"Our route changes every day, but there are killers everywhere, how do they know our whereabouts?" Bai Rong looked at Gu Ziyuan with some confusion.

Gu Ziyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, there are their people on every road. ”

Bai Rong was shocked and sneered: "What a big stroke." ”

"Tomorrow, we'll take a closer look." No matter which way there are killers, so why bother looking for the near and far? Under the night, Gu Ziyuan's eyes were red by the fire.

Not only was Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan hunted down, but the situation between Ning Zhou and Zhao Yu was not much better. The people who chased and killed them were ruthless, among the two, Zhao Yu did not know martial arts, only Ning Zhou fought hard, but fortunately, Zhao Yu also had a lot of other means, and the two escaped.

"From today onwards, we have a lifelong friendship." Ning Zhou was having fun and chatting with Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu looked at Ning Zhou and said solemnly: "I will repay you for your kindness in the future." ”

Ning Zhou laughed, and they continued on the road, and on the way, many bodies were found, most of them were young men, and some were a man and a woman.

"Brute!" Ning Zhou examined the wounds, and most of them were injured by the same knife technique. Thinking that they are not safe to travel, it is very likely that these people are coming for Gu Ziyuan.

But it was these innocent people who died! Ning Zhou's teeth chattered, and there was unspeakable pain in his heart. Zhao Yu is not much better than him, as a miracle doctor, he hates the life that has passed the most.

Those corpses died in a miserable state, and after the two of them checked it and confirmed that it was not Gu Ziyuan's white face, they buried the corpses and sped up to the capital.

In the middle of the way, the two discussed that the land route was too dangerous, and perhaps it was a good choice to choose the water route, after all, the water route was wide, and they were both water-based, so it was more convenient to escape.

And when they walked some waterway, they met the general and Granny Pan on the boat.

All four of them were very happy.

"It's good to be alive." Ning Zhou's lips squirmed, and light burst out from his eyes. He had seen too many corpses along the way, and he was afraid that something would happen to his friends.
