Chu Yijun's face was pale, his hand shook slightly, and the tip of the sword cut a blood mark on Xu Yi's neck......

But when he glanced back at the painful figure on the ground, he knew that even if he hated him to the extreme, it was difficult to make up his mind to end his life in an instant!

"Come on! You're here to kill me! Kill you! Do you dare?! Hahahaha, I know you don't dare, you good-for-nothing bastard! Xu Yi spat at him, watching him dodge to the side, but still laughing presumptuously:

"Bad seeds! It's not a good thing, just like your rebellious father! Rubbish! It's all rubbish—"

But before he finished speaking, his eyes dilated, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Chu Yijun, so he leaned back, fell heavily to the ground, turned his head, and a touch of scarlet blew from the corner of his mouth.

Chu Yijun looked up, but saw Chu Ningxiang with tears in his eyes, put the bloody sword in his hand into the scabbard, and knelt down heavily at him, the tears at the bottom of his eyes were shining, but he didn't dare to look at Chu Yijun's eyes, he only lowered his head and sobbed sullenly:

"Third brother, I'm sorry! But I can't stand it......" She raised her face suddenly, and a tear slipped down her face, and she knelt forward and tugged at the corner of his clothes:

"But third brother, don't worry, really, I also knew something about Gu poison in the palace before, killing the person who planted the Gu does not mean that the person who was planted with Gu will not be saved, on the contrary, the person who planted the Gu will not die for a day, and the person who is planted with Gu will always be controlled by him!"

Chu Yijun listened without saying a word, but helped Chu Ningxiang up, hugged her tightly, patted her head, and comforted:

"I know."

Chu Ningxiang nodded, letting out an irrepressible whimper, but she also hugged him tightly, for a long, long time, and she couldn't cry.

Rays of dappled sunlight shone through the cracks in the trees, and those dots of light fell on those cold corpses and jumped on them, and they finally felt a trace of warmth.

Three days later.

In the Xiao Guo Palace, all the places damaged by the fire have been repaired.

In the capital, you can see everywhere the notices of the current emperor seeking medical treatment for the queen and offering heavy rewards.

But in the palace, although there was an endless stream of folk doctors who came to diagnose Ling Ran's pulse, no one could remove the Gu in her body......

On this day, Chu Yijun was in the imperial study to approve the folds, but a guard outside the door suddenly entered the door and reported:

"Your Majesty, there is a man in ragged clothes outside the palace who asks to see him, claiming to be able to cure the queen's illness."

Chu Yijun waved his hand, "Let him in." ”

"Yes."

After a while, a man dressed in tatters walked into the study and knelt down to Chu Yijun:

"Grass people Lei Jin has seen the emperor."

Chu Yijun put down the fold in his hand and glanced at the man kneeling on the ground, but his eyes fell on the delicate box in his hand:

"What's in that box?"

Lei Jin raised his head and opened the box slightly, Chu Yijun looked at it, and he could vaguely see that there was a big black worm wriggling inside.

"Your Majesty, this is the Gu King that the grass people have carefully cultivated for ten years, if you can swallow the worms in the queen mother's body, you can cure her disease." After Lei Jin finished speaking, he closed the box and lowered his eyes and waited quietly for Chu Yijun's response.

"Ten years ......" Chu Yijun closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up and strode towards the door, "Come with me." ”

Half an hour later.

Fengyi Palace.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone holding their breath, Lei Jin's big black worm finally crawled out of Ling Ran's mouth, but it was carrying the remains of a cyan worm.

"This is the Gu in Niangniang's body, now it has been removed," Lei Jin took out the body of the green worm and put the black worm back in the box, "The queen mother is also extremely strong, if she is an ordinary person, once the poisonous Gu attacks, she may not even be able to survive it for half an hour." ”

Chu Yijun's gaze fell back on Ling Ran again, but on the bed, she still had her eyes closed, but her face was much more ruddy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was having some sweet dream.

"Good. I will reward you again. The big stone that had been pressing on Chu Yijun's heart for a long time finally fell, and he turned his head to look at Lei Jin, and the gratitude in his heart was beyond words.

But Lei Jin smiled and shook his head, "I don't really need anything, I just want to ask the emperor for something." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Lei Jin put the box in his hand aside, took a deep breath, and then said:

"The grass people once heard that there is a maid named Xian'er who is serving the current queen's mother, if this is true, I wonder if the emperor can let the grass people meet this slender girl?"

Chu Yijun was stunned, but still nodded, "This is indeed the case." But what do you want to see her do? ”

Lei Jin lowered his head, gritted his teeth, knelt down at him, and said:

"Don't hide it from the emperor, the full name of the grass people is actually Xia Leijin, and he is the remnant of the Xia family who was beheaded by the first emperor of a thousand countries...... I heard that my sister Xia Xian was taken in by well-wishers in the capital, so I have been looking for her traces...... This is also the only survival belief of the grass people, and I also ask the emperor to let the grass people meet with the slender girl. ”

However, Chu Yijun's next words were like a thunderbolt from the blue to him:

"What if I tell you that this maid is dead?"

Lei Jin's whole body trembled, his fists tightened, but he let go again, looked up at Chu Yijun, and didn't know how to react for a while.

"The grass people still retreated." After a while, he finally stood up.

"Slow!" Lei Jin froze when he heard this, turned around, and a layer of hope ignited in his eyes, but he heard Chu Yijun turn his head and say to the side:

"Ruohe, take out the portrait of Xian'er and recognize him."

Lei Jin's heart sank again, but he still waited patiently for Ruohe to bring the painting.

When the painting arrived, he stepped forward to take a look, but he couldn't help but immediately exclaim:

"Yes, that's her! Sister ......" then looked at Chu Yijun inquiringly, "Then how did she die?" What do you leave behind before you die? ”

"It was killed by another woman in the palace," Ling Ran suddenly turned her head and replied, startling everyone on the field, she sat up, "But the woman who caused the accident also died later, and it is worth a life." ”

Lei Jin lowered his head again, trying to digest all these sudden facts.

Silence.

"Thank you for saving your life," Ling Ran was extremely weak, and she began to pant slightly after saying these few words, but she still had a warm smile on her face, "But Xian'er is also gone, how can this palace repay you?" ”

Lei Jin lowered his eyes and pondered, and only raised his head for a long time:

"The grass people know that they are suffering from hidden diseases and their lives are short, so they don't need anything else, and their only wish is to carry forward some of the civilizations of the Xia family."

"Gu art?" Ling Ran's eyes widened slightly, and she asked softly, when she heard these two words now, she still had a little chill on her back, carry it forward? She couldn't imagine it.

But Lei Jin shook his head with a smile:

"Wordless paper."

"What?" Ling Ran and Chu Yijun spoke in unison.

They glanced at each other, and said in unison again:

"How do you know?"

It made Lei Jin laugh, "It seems that the emperor and the queen are really smart, and they even speak so tacitly." ”

“…… But I only heard today that there is a wordless paper. Chu Yijun's mind suddenly came up with that day, the blank paper under the painting, and then recalled it carefully, his heart couldn't help but perk, that day, wasn't it just the day when Xian'er suffered a misfortune?

"Chu Yijun, you'd better be honest." Ling Ran tilted his head to look at him, a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chu Yijun looked at her, then at Lei Jin, suddenly sighed, and then turned around and walked towards the door:

"Lei Jin, you go with me." But after walking a few steps, he turned around again, looked at Ling Ran, and arrogantly warned:

"After the little reversal, stay in the bed and don't get out of bed to move, otherwise it will be up to me to treat you tonight."

"Hmph, I don't know who rules whom." Ling Ran didn't look over, he didn't intend to be obedient.

So as soon as they left, Ling Ran immediately jumped out of bed, changed into lighter clothes, and followed, secretly listening to the conversation between the two inside outside the imperial study:

"Look at this, could it be wordless paper?" Chu Yijun's voice.

"Grass people will know if you try it."

Then, there was no life, but Ling Ran faintly smelled the smell of something burning.

She leaned closer to the crack in the door to take a look, and sure enough, Lei Jin was burning the piece of paper into the candle flame......

"There you have it!"

"Take a look."

There was no sound in the room again.

Ling Ran couldn't help but bow his head in some frustration, why was he so stupid that he didn't just follow up with the imperial study? So far, I don't even have a chance to snoop on a secret......

While thinking, the door of the study suddenly opened, and Lei Jin inside was about to walk out, when he saw Ling Ran, his whole body shook, and then he knelt down towards her, Ling Ran refused to follow no matter how he persuaded her, and bowed to her three times before getting up:

"Thank you to the queen for saving the little sister, and the grass people keep it in mind. I wish the queen eternal health and well-being. ”

Seeing that Ling Ran was a little embarrassed, he was about to kneel down towards him, but he looked at someone standing next to the door frame with a black face, pulled her up, and said to Lei Jin in a hurry:

"You go to Ye Xun, he will give you the bounty and the reward land according to the notice, don't send it slowly, I will bring the imperial doctor to see you in three days."

With a "snap", the door was closed and locked.

Lei Jin stood in place, a little unresponsive, but not long after, an indescribable sound came from within, his face turned red to the root of his ears in an instant, and he hurriedly fled in a hurry......

——————

The next day, Chu Yijun held a ceremony of sealing the Eight Classics, and announced to the world that from now on, the harem will be imaginary, and she will be alone.

On the same day, Chu Ningxiang and Xiao Chen were also hastily married by Chu Yijun, and they were held together with the post-sealing ceremony, Chu Ningxiang ran to Chu Yijun indignantly and asked, why was it so hasty?

Chu Yijun tightened Ling Ran in his arms, and said helplessly:

"Everything is Madame's meaning."

Ling Ran raised his eyebrows:

"Say it again?"

Someone understood in seconds, immediately sat up straight, and said with a serious face:

"I was wrong, everything is my will."

Ling Ran smiled, "It's pretty much the same." Gong ~ Lord ~, do you hear that? What is dissatisfied, just beat him. It's a big deal to beat him so much that he can't walk, I'll govern! ”

"What? Aifei, do you dare to say it again? ”

"I said, big deal, I'll govern!" Ling Ran changed his position again, lying in his arms, looking at him lazily, stretching out his pink tongue and licking his lips, very charming.

Chu Yijun looked at her little appearance, but he smiled evilly, and whispered in her ear:

"Concubine Ai should worry about herself first. I will never let my concubine still have the energy to govern during the day. ”
