Chapter 18 (1st Update)
An Shuli listened to Yun Chi's words, bowed his head, and didn't ask any more, and took a bottle of antidote to the porcelain bottle of blood to Jing Guogong. And Yun Chi himself, immediately ordered the car to be prepared, took another bottle of blood antidote, and went to the palace in the night.
Jing Guogong has been staying in the East Palace these days, and he has been watching his situation from time to time, but fortunately, he has not been urged to have a Heart Devouring Gu attack.
He knew that Yun Chi and An Shu couldn't leave the work, and he wanted to help, but he was afraid that like that day, not only would he not be able to help, but he would add to the chaos, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Fortunately, Hua Zhuo was also recuperating from his injuries in the East Palace, and Hua Zhuo had nothing to do, so he invited Jing Guogong to speak, Jing Guogong liked to talk about the art of war, and Hua Zhuo talked to him about the art of war.
Jing Guogong found something to do, and finally he was not so depressed, and at the same time admired Hua Zhuo's young age, he really knew astronomy and geography, talked about the ancient and modern, and even the art of war, he also had other opinions, much stronger than him, a general who had fought on the battlefield.
He secretly sighed, he is really old, and he can't accept old age.
I secretly thought that he was worthy of being the son of the Lin'an Hua family, and such a talent and appearance were rare in the world.
It's just a pity that the Hua family doesn't enter the court as officials.
He was amazed at Hua Zhuo's talent, knowing that the Hua family had rules, he couldn't help but speak, and asked tentatively, "The son has both ability and political integrity, why don't you serve the court?" Now that the imperial court is employing people, with the talent of the prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must reuse the prince. Since the Hua family seeks peace and security for the country and the people, wouldn't it be better to benefit the people of Li when they enter the court? ”
Hua Zhuo smiled, "The Hua family has the way of the Hua family, my sister married into the royal family, and she broke the rules, and I came to Beijing to help the East Palace, and I broke the rules." At this time, the Hua family no longer pays attention to this rule, but there are many ways to serve the court, not to enter the court, but to repay, not to enter the court, in order to benefit the people. ”
Jing Guogong nodded, "That's what I said, it's the old man who looks good." ”
Although Jing Guogong is a rough man, but for most of his life in the court, he naturally understands that the Hua family is powerful, if he enters the court, I am afraid that the whole world is full of Hua family in power, it doesn't matter if one generation goes on, from generation to generation, whose world will the world be?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today can tolerate people, so can the future emperor still tolerate people?
The Hua family does not enter the court, and it is good to not enter the court, as long as they have the heart to protect the people of the world.
Since then, Jing Guogong has never mentioned this again.
This night, Jing Guogong was still at Hua Zhuo's residence, and when An Shuli came to look for him, he blurted out and asked, "An Zaifu came here so late, is he here to find Hua Zhuo's son or the old minister?" ”
An Shuli arched his hand to the two of them, and said with a smile, "I'm here to find the prince of the country, and I'm also here to find the young man." ”
Hua Zhuo raised her eyebrows, smiled, and asked, "Sit!" Is there news from my sister? ”
An Shuxuan thought that Hua Zhuo was really smart, nodded, sat down, and handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to Jing Guogong, "This is the antidote to the Heart Devouring Gu, Grandpa Guo hurry up and drink it!" ”
Jing Guogong was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, and asked, "Where did the antidote come from?" Didn't it mean that the antidote to the Heart Devouring Gu needed to ...... the blood of Su Zi's slash?
"Yes, it's Su Zi's blood." An Shuli said warmly, "He sent someone back, the emperor has a bottle, and you have a bottle." The words fell, and he said, "Guogong hurry up and drink it, without further ado, solve the Heart Devouring Gu, and then listen to me slowly." ”
Jing Guogong nodded, unscrewed the cork, the smell of blood was very strong, the porcelain bottle was big in the palm, there were three or four mouthfuls, the cork was tight, and it didn't dry up for a few days, he finished drinking, Hua Zhuo handed him a cup of tea, he drank it and rinsed his mouth, and suddenly felt that something in his heart seemed to be dissipated, not so depressed, he put down the teacup and said, "Presumably that little insect has been melted, I feel relaxed all over." ”
An Shuli smiled, "The blood of the King of Ten Thousand Gu should have this effect. ”
Jing Guogong wiped his mouth, chased after An Shuli and asked, "Tell me quickly, who sent Su Ziqi back to deliver the letter?" Where is the crown princess? Does he know? Are you okay? ”
Hua Zhuo also asked with his eyes, but he was not as urgent as Jing Guogong.
An Shuli secretly sighed Hua Zhuo's calmness again, and slowly said what Yun Di said when he sent the letter back. In the face of Jing Guogong, although there are some things, the less people know, the better, but he is strict and loyal, and he is his own person to Huayan, not an outsider, but he did not deliberately hide it.
Jing Guogong heard what happened to Hua Yan, he was worried, distressed, and angry, "This Su Zizhi is really vicious." When the words fell, he couldn't help but slap the table, "That bastard of Wuweihou, who is still eating, drinking and sleeping well in the East Palace, should be sent to prison, cold to death and freeze him to death, starve him to death, bastard." ”
Hua Zhuo didn't jump like Jing Guogong, but asked the key, "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" Now that I have used the antidote to Su Zi's blood, agree to his conditions, or not? ”
An Shuli shook his head, "Your Highness didn't say it, the crown princess secretly sent a message through plum blossoms, His Royal Highness was happy in his heart, and he knew in his heart that the crown princess treated him, and now he can't wait to leave for the wasteland mountain immediately, whether it is a public divorce or a public divorce, it is probably impossible." Maybe he saw Su Ziqi, which belonged to the two of them in their own lawsuit, and he had his own conclusion. ”
Hua Zhuo suddenly smiled, "That's right." After the words fell, he glanced out the window, and the moonlit night was not so dark, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Su Ziqi are different." ”
How is it different, Hua Zhuo didn't say it, but An Shuli can also appreciate it.
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, the most different thing about Su Ziqi from Yun Chi is that he has too many scruples and can't break the boat.
The world is the same, and so are the feelings.
At night, the streets are very quiet, and the security in Beijing has been excellent recently, and patrol soldiers have passed by one after another. When they saw the prince's frame, they avoided it one after another.
The five princes are very concerned about the security of the capital, and they will always personally take people to patrol around at night before returning to the house.
Yun Chi lifted the curtain, glanced at him, and said softly, "If the fifth brother is fine, go into the palace with the palace to see his father!" ”
The fifth prince was stunned for a moment, "The fourth brother went to see his father so late, but there is something important?" ”
Yun Chi let out an "um".
The fifth prince immediately threw the reins of the horse and jumped into Yun Chi's carriage.
The curtain fell, and the carriage was inlaid with night pearls, illuminating the interior of the car.
The fifth prince glanced at Yun Chi carefully, lowered his voice and asked, "Fourth brother, what do you have to say to me?" "Otherwise, he won't be allowed to enter the palace with him at night, he has only been to the imperial palace to see his father during the day, and his father has been in a coma for too long, even if he has ginseng soup to drink, but it doesn't seem to be very good.
Yun Chi nodded, and said softly, "The palace will leave Beijing in three days, and Anshu will leave the prison country, and Jingguogong, Mei Shuyu, and you will be the three assistants, and Gu Zhi will enter Beijing tomorrow, and he will be assisted by Cheng Zixiao and Zhao Qingxi. ”
The fifth prince was surprised, "Fourth brother, are you leaving Beijing at this time?" When the words fell, he asked, "Are you going to find the fourth sister-in-law?" ”
"Hmm." Yun Chi bowed, "I've got news of her." ”
The fifth prince was surprised and delighted, but he still said worriedly, "Now that the court is busy, can the fourth brother leave?" ”
"Yes, the palace will make arrangements to leave Beijing secretly, except for you and a few others, the news will not be leaked." Yun Chi stretched out his hand and patted the fifth prince on the shoulder, "Little five, brothers, this palace can only count on you more now, before this palace brings your fourth sister-in-law back, you can help An Shuli guard the capital and take care of his father, can you do it?" ”
The fifth prince suddenly felt that the pressure was so great, the weight of these words was too heavy, he grunted, still took a deep breath and patted his chest and said, "Yes!" Fourth brother rest assured. ”
He clearly knew how much Yun Chi loved Chonghuayan, and now that he had news of her, how could he not go out to find it in person? He has endured it for Nanchu Jiangshan for a long time, otherwise with his temperament, he would have ignored it as early as when Hua Yan disappeared.
Yun Chi smiled, "You are all people personally selected by this palace, and if you can work together, this palace is naturally relieved." ”
The fifth prince whispered, "But during the day today, I went to visit my father, and if my father's heart-devouring Gu was incomprehensible, I was really worried about ......."
Yun Chi intercepted him, "Don't worry, today I will bring the antidote to solve the Heart-Eating Gu on my father's body." ”
The fifth prince was overjoyed, "Where did the fourth brother get the antidote?" ”
Yun Chi was silent.
The fifth prince looked at him, and saw that he seemed unwilling to answer, and that there was something hidden under his calm face, so he didn't ask anymore.
The carriage came to the palace gate, and the people guarding the palace gate saw the prince's chariot and let him go directly and entered the palace gate.
The palace is very quiet, this old palace, renovated 400 years ago, now stands majestically.
Coming to the Imperial Palace, the five princes jumped out of the carriage first, stretched out their hands to Yun Chi to pick up the curtain, Yun Chi got off the carriage, the wind at night was very cold, but it was spring in the end, not so cold to the bone, he looked at the door of the Imperial Palace, and replied to his earlier words, his voice was unwavering, "It was sent back by Su Zi's beheader." ”
The Fifth Prince's eyes widened.
Yun Chi slowly stepped into the Imperial Palace.
