A bamboo forest is planted in the back garden of the Xuande Palace, and the Moon Pavilions are in the middle of the bamboo forest. When there is wind, the bamboo forest makes a rustling sound, which really makes people feel special, as if they are in the middle of a mountain forest.

Xiao Xiang did not hide his appreciation for this place, and sat down in the pavilion, wanting to praise a few words, but the maid on one side uncovered the lid of the four-colored dots on the table. When Xiao Xiang Dingqing saw it, he no longer had the heart to praise Li Ke. I can't help but sigh in my heart, this Li Tang Dynasty is really rich, and the snacks are so exquisite!! She hadn't seen any of them, let alone eaten them.

One of them looks like a transparent crystal, which is moist and lovely. The appearance is like a blooming lotus flower, and I don't know what material it is made of, but you can vaguely see the flowing bean paste filling inside. Xiao Xiang licked his lips, picked up ivory chopsticks, and carefully picked up a crystal flower and sent it to his mouth. The pastry melted gently as soon as it entered my mouth...... Delicious!! It's delicious!! It's so delicious!!!

She shoved the pastry into her mouth with no image at all, as if she hadn't eaten anything in her life. Mo Wu on the side handed over tea at the right time to help her digest it, and in less than half a column of incense, Xiao Xiang had already eaten the things on the table cleanly.

Elegantly picked up the handkerchief and wiped the pastry crumbs from his mouth, Xiao Xiang turned back into the sweet and noble princess before...... If it weren't for the pile of empty plates on the table.

Li Ke tried his best to hold back his laughter on the side, but his face twitched slightly because he endured too hard.

Xiao Xiang was shocked to realize that he had acted like this, and suddenly felt a wail in his heart...... It's over, the image is completely ruined.

Fortunately, Li Ke didn't laugh at her, but took a wet towel on the side to wipe off the two or three sugar stains stuck to her eyelids: "If you like to eat it, let them buy it and send it to you next time." ”

Xiao Xiang was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said, "Isn't this what the people in the imperial dining room did?" ”

Li Ke shook his head: "Where can they make such a thing...... This was bought at Ping Hong Fang. Uh......" he paused, "anyway, you like to eat, I'll buy you more next time." ”

A trace of curiosity flashed in Xiao Xiang's heart, who could make such a delicacy?

Li Ke seemed to see her curiosity, and patted her hand with a smile: "Curiosity is still so heavy." As if he remembered something, he lowered his head and took out a delicate small box from his arms, "You were tricked by someone before, take this one for self-defense." ”

The box is made of sandalwood, and the hollow carving is particularly detailed, and there are a few pieces of pearl and jade inlaid inside, which looks exquisite and outstanding. Xiao Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, it was really a beautiful wooden box, just looking at this box, it was estimated that it was worth a lot of money, so what must be a good thing in it, what could it be?

Li Ke gently opened the box and pushed it in front of her.

The box was open, and there was a hint of glint inside. The light was not from the contents of the box, but from the pearl set on the inner wall of the box.

There was only a small jade butterfly pendant in the box. Xiao Xiang took out the pendant and put it in front of his eyes to watch. Through the streamline, it can be seen that the jade quality is very good, at least it is also the beautiful jade of Hetian. The craftsmanship of the carving on it is also very detailed, and the hollow filigree is ...... It's clear and it looks like there's still liquid flowing in it. This jade is definitely a treasure, if it is placed in modern times, it will be sold for millions, and it can be sold for tens of millions.

However, Xiao Xiang half-squinted, she would not forget that it was the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan period, what was so precious about this seemingly treasure, which could actually be seen everywhere in the palace? But if it's not precious, how can Li Ke give it to himself?

You must know that she is a princess of Gaoyang who is loved by thousands of people at the moment! And the person who sent the things was His Royal Highness King Wu of the Tang Dynasty, can the things he took out be bad? Not to mention what he said earlier, this thing is for self-defense.

Xiao Xiang looked up at Li Ke, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "Brother Ke...... What kind of treasure is this pendant? ”

Li Ke took the pendant from her hand, took out the slender gold chain from the box and put it on, and put the pendant around her neck: "This thing is not an ordinary pendant, it has a great origin." ”

Origin?

Xiao Xiang frowned slightly, could it be that this jade pendant was dug up from the grave of a certain big man? Or was it left behind by some immortal when he ascended to heaven?

Looking at her inquisitive expression, Li Ke laughed, lowered his voice and said, "This jade pendant is called Star Butterfly, which can protect the owner from evil spirits, and has a magical restraint effect on Gu things. According to legend, it was once the thing of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, but somehow it ended up in the mortal world. My father summoned us that day, saying that you had fallen into the Gu, and asked us to find a capable person to solve the Gu for you. I couldn't find these people for a while, so I had to get this... I thought about sending it to you, but I didn't know that you came by yourself. ”

The Nine Heavens Mystery Maiden...... It's the same as it really is.

Xiao Xiang tugged at the corners of his mouth, with a little disbelief in his eyes. In fact, she was also skeptical about her Gu incident, after all, except for the headache that day, she was nothing different, no pain or itching, only the blood-like red mole between her eyebrows.

She is actually very repulsed by this matter, Gu things are all worms, who wants to have a worm crawling in their body...... You might even gnaw on your own internal organs. She finally got this perfect skin, and she didn't want to be ruined like that.

Having said that, if you really fall for the Gu, who will do it?

She bit her lip lightly and looked up at Li Ke: "Brother Ke...... Have I offended a lot of people before? ”

Li Kezheng held the pot and helped her cup add tea, hearing this, his fingertips stiffened slightly, and the green tea soup splashed slightly. He raised his head, met Xiao Xiang's frightened eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "How can you think so?" It has nothing to do with you...... We were born in the royal family, and a lot of things are involuntary. ”

Xiao Xiang saw that there was a faint light in his eyes, so he lowered his head and stopped talking, it seems that the person who gave him Gu is probably the person in this palace...... Who could it be?

She frowned, and was about to say something more, but there was a fiery pain in her forehead, as if something was gnawing at her. She went limp, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered. All the pain seemed to rise from between her eyebrows, but the red Yan was like a fire at the moment, spreading a fiery pain all over her body, and her internal organs seemed to be about to crack, and she convulsed all over her body and collapsed.

Li Ke on the side saw her like this, and immediately panicked, stepped forward and took her into his arms, she was hot, every pore emitted a lot of heat, if you look closely, you can see that there seems to be a thread-like object rushing out of her eyebrows, swimming around her limbs.

Xiao Xiang himself seemed to be able to feel it, as if there were worms crawling through his veins, and wherever he went, the pain was doubled...... Is this Zhong Gu?

The extreme pain forced her tears, and in the haze, she seemed to see Li Ke's flustered face and heart-aching eyes. Then, the pain that her body could bear suddenly reached its peak, and something seemed to explode in her brain, and after a bang, the world fell into a silent blackness, and she knew nothing.

When I regained consciousness, I don't know how long it had been.

She was lying on the soft bed in the Manna Hall at the moment, and there was a faint fragrance around her, only slightly stronger. There seemed to be a man's angry rebuke outside, and the voice should be Li Shimin.

Xiao Xiang didn't really hear it, but he could vaguely hear it, as if he was scolding those imperial doctors for being incompetent, and he wanted to see him. A warm feeling suddenly surged in my heart, and I used to ...... My father only knew that he was busy with his archaeology, busy with his history, and took care of himself when he was sick. I once had a high fever, and if my neighbors hadn't found out, I was afraid that I would have died in my bed. And this will ...... The man outside, known as the Emperor of the Ages, is a father who loves his daughter so much.

Xiao Xiang couldn't help but smile on his lips, this man is now his father!! She wanted to speak, but the moment she spoke, she felt her throat dry and painful, and she couldn't make any sound at all.

Mo Wu, who was standing on the side, soon found that Xiao Xiang had woken up, and seeing Xiao Xiang's appearance, she waved her hand to let another palace maid report, she hurriedly took water from the side, got drunk with a cotton swab, and slowly wiped it on her lips, the water droplets gradually moistened Xiao Xiang's throat, and the dry feeling inside slowly receded.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, Li Shimin rushed up anxiously, and when he saw that she had woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand: "Don't be afraid, my father won't let you have anything to do." ”

When Xiao Xiang saw his expression, his heart couldn't help but feel cold, could it be that the incurable Gu written in the book could be in him? However, Gao Yang didn't die so early in history, right? She raised her head, a little uncertain: "Father...... Courtiers ......"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the Gu in you is just an ordinary little Gu, and nothing will happen." Li Shimin's voice trembled a little, his eyes wandered, wandering, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Xiao Xiang or convincing himself.

Xiao Xiang's heart sank bit by bit, could it be ...... Will history be changed?
