Chapter 109: The imprisoned Yu Zhiyan

The candle shadow flickered, reflecting on Feng Huang's face, illuminating his bloodless face in obscurity.

The palace ladies burned the excellent silver bone charcoal, and the huge palace was suddenly warm like spring. The palace maid who served quietly looked at the man on the bed through the curtain, handsome as a god.

The imperial doctor has already diagnosed and treated, and the ribs on his body have been broken three times, and if ordinary people were dead and alive when the bones were connected, but His Royal Highness King Nanjing didn't even blink his eyes.

A palace maid was staring carefully, but she heard a cold voice sounding in front of her, "Someone is coming, gouging out her eyeballs for the mourning family." ”

As soon as she heard this, the little palace maid raised her head in a hurry, fell to her knees with a thud, and just asked for mercy, but heard Gu Yinglian's cold voice coming again.

"If you dare to wake him up, the mourners will have your head cut off."

The little palace maid was so frightened that she was colorless, and only kept kowtowing, but she was still dragged away by the king's order.

The other palace maids in the hall knew that they had picked up a life and came back, so they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads, let alone look at the man on the bed.

The Queen Mother immediately shook her hand, and all the palace people rushed out, and finally Wang Ken gently closed the door from the outside.

Gu Yinglian was also wearing a heavy phoenix robe, the gold thread embroidered into a complex golden phoenix wings pattern was almost all over, and the gold beads dotted next to the sleeves couldn't help but make a gurgling sound, and the length of the skirt was more than enough to mop the floor, which was extremely gorgeous.

She slowly walked to the bed, her slender fingers had just lifted the veil, and the phoenix inside woke up faintly.

The silver candle on the candlestick was too bright, and his eyes twitched slightly. Then Gu Yinglian sat on the edge of his bed, blocking the dazzling light for him.

Gu Yinglian looked at him deeply, "Are you better?" You don't know what kind of character Dong Lang is, so why bother to provoke him again. ”

A sense of clarity spread in Feng Huang's heart, Wang Ken really did not disappoint him, and told the Queen Mother what he heard today.

These words are tantamount to the sharpest knife, cutting away the last trace of family affection in Gu Yinglian's heart.

Feng Huang slowly pulled the corners of his lips, and barely squeezed out a smile, "If no one mentions General Gu again, it will cause a catastrophe sooner or later." ”

The Queen Mother was also full of sorrow when she heard this.

"The mourning family looked at yesterday's recital, saying that the deputy head of the office committed suicide at home, and said that Dong Lang forced the ministers of the office to make a bracelet with Canaan agarwood, and the deputy manager refused, so he only asked his men to beat and scold, who knew that he couldn't think of it for a while, and it was hanging from the beam."

Feng Huang sighed: "That Canaan agarwood can only be used by people in the palace, so it's no wonder that the deputy chief manager blocked it." ”

"He couldn't do anything to please that woman." Gu Yinglian's eyes were full of resentment, "Now even the mourning family can't control him." ”

The wick suddenly peeled off, and a little spark burst out.

Gu Yinglian suddenly looked directly at him, "Tell the mourning family whether you should do anything to Donglang or not." ”

Feng Huang's voice was gentle, not distinguishing between joy and anger, as if he had no personal feelings, "General Gu has made meritorious contributions to pacifying the world, and he is your own brother, so he naturally wants to be a high-ranking official and enjoy glory and wealth." As long as he is there, the country will be forever. ”

He looked at her four eyes, and Gu Yinglian slowly spoke for a long time, as if she had made a difficult decision, "As long as he is here, this country may never be handed over to the son of the mourning family." ”

The hall suddenly fell into a dead silence, but Feng Huang was far from wanting to be so calm on his face, he knew that he had won completely, and all this was getting closer and closer to what he wanted.

The first to speak was still Gu Yinglian, "The mourning family had already made up his mind when he asked him to leave Beijing, you have to tell the mourning family, what to do, he has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands." ”

Obviously, there was charcoal burning in the hall, but there didn't seem to be a trace of warmth in the hall, Feng Huang slowly opened his lips, and said the plan that had been planned in a low voice.

The slaves of the Chengguo Mansion were all released, and fortunately, none of them had ever been severely punished, although the matter had passed, one by one they were still terrified, and even two old men from the mansion had returned to their hometowns.

Because Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan didn't know how long they would have to go, the minions in the mansion only packed up.

Yu Zhiyan stared at the maids putting their clothes into the box, Gu Jue was walking from outside, and only said: "Why bother to take some useless things, when you get on the road, those officials still don't offer the best things." ”

Hearing him say this, Yu Zhiyan only asked the maids to take out the clothes that were too extravagant, and only picked out some that looked simpler.

It wasn't until the end of the day that the little guys loaded all their things on the mule cart, and the whole thirteen mule carts were just things that Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan used every day.

Seeing that the hour had passed, Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan got into the sedan chair, but before they got up the sedan chair, they heard a woman's shout outside.

Because the lively people on the street were too noisy, Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan couldn't hear what they were shouting clearly.

Gu Jue said angrily: "Where did the shrews come from, they are spreading wild here." ”

"It sounded familiar to me, as if I had heard it somewhere." Yu Zhiyan's eyebrows frowned, and he opened the sedan curtain and said to Bao Xiao'er outside: "Go and see who is shouting and bring her over." ”

Bao Xiao'er took the order, but after a while, she hurried back, followed by a woman.

"How are you?" Seeing the person who came, Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but be stunned, "You are not Moshu's nurse, why did you come here?" ”

The nurse fell to her knees with a thud, but she was crying, "You save the little master, you save him-"

Yu Zhiyan's face changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly came out of the sedan chair, because she was too urgent, her left foot tripped on the wooden bar, if it weren't for Gu Jue behind her to stop her waist and hug her, she would have to fall into a head and bleed.

"What's wrong with Moshu?" Yu Zhiyan's voice was full of tremors.

"The little young master was infected with smallpox, and he had a high fever that did not go away, and he only shouted his mother in his mouth." The old lady cried miserably, "The prince went to the palace to recuperate again, and now he can't even send the letter." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhi was like falling into an ice cave, if it weren't for Gu Jue hugging her behind her, I was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to stand still.

She has always been a shrewd person, even if the big thing is put in front of her, she will not mess up. But Moshu is her child after all, how can she not mess up.

Gu Jue said to the guards beside him: "Go to the palace to send a message to King Nanjing, and then pass on my words and find the imperial doctor to go over for treatment." ”

Yu Zhiyan regained his senses, but when he saw the guards who were ready to go, he turned his head and said, "Donglang, you go first, and when Moshu is better, I will look for you again." ”

Gu Jue originally liked Moshu's child, and he didn't persuade Yu to fold the cigarette, but frowned and said, "I won't leave either, just stay here to accompany you, and we'll leave when he is better." ”

"What's that?" The cold wind blew on her cheeks, and the bitter chill spread to her heart, "You are now a guilty body, how can you make mistakes again for the sake of Moshu." ”

He knew what was going on, and now he was a 100,000-strong army ready to go, and he couldn't delay for a moment.

"Take good care of your body, you will stay here with Bao Xiao'er." He whispered in her ear, grabbed her cold fingers and held them tightly in his hand, "When Moshu is better, you will go look for me." ”

Yu Zhiyan nodded heavily, tears overflowing from his eyes, "Okay." ”

Seeing her crying, Gu Jue stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, "I see that Moshu child is blessed, such a small illness and disaster are fine." ”

Although it was just a comforting word, the heaviness in Yu Zhiyan's heart was also reduced a little. She was in a hurry to see Moshu, and only said a few words to Gu Jue and left in a hurry.

Feng Huang is now a prince, and he still lives in the small courtyard where he was at the beginning, facing only a few small houses, and no one else takes care of him.

Yu Zhiyan also had smallpox when he was a child, and he survived it, so he was naturally not afraid of these.

However, Moshu's situation was far worse than she thought, her fair skin was already covered with acne, and her crying throat was hoarse, like a magpie that had lost its voice, only its mouth was open, and her face was full of pain.

Soon the imperial doctor Gu Jue found arrived, and after seeing it, he shook his head again and again, and only said, "The pox poison in the little young master's body is very serious, and his body is weak, and the good and evil attack each other in the body, and there are signs of death everywhere. ”

Yu Zhiyan only felt like a dead heart, and he couldn't control it anymore, so he stumbled outside the house, hiding under the begonia tree in the courtyard and crying.

In a trance, she felt that someone had walked to her side, and she raised her head with teary eyes, but it was Feng Huang. I thought that he also got the news and came back from the palace, but he saw that he was a little awkward, and he didn't know where he was injured.

She wouldn't even know that it was Gu Jue who kicked her off the Jinluan Palace, breaking three entire ribs.

His face was very pale, and his voice was hoarse, "It's okay, our Moshu will be fine." ”

Yu Zhenyan's body trembled, unable to say a word, Feng Huang hugged her tightly in his arms and slowly comforted her.

She only needs one shoulder now, even if this shoulder is Fenghuang, she doesn't care.

I don't know how long later, the imperial doctor came out of the house with the medicine box, and when he saw two people, he cleared his throat with some embarrassment.

Yu Zhiyan hurriedly came out of Feng Huang's arms and asked urgently, "How is Moshu?" ”

"Mrs. Hui's words, I have already poured the decoction down, and I will wash my body with Chinese licorice soup later, and it will be fine to survive these few days." The imperial doctor said respectfully.

Yu Zhiyan became more and more worried when he heard this, so he only personally washed Mo Shu's body with a decoction, and then smoked the house with wormwood, until he was busy with all this, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night.

The child on the bed gradually fell asleep, his red eyes slightly raised, and the mouth of the small mouth was half-open, even in his sleep, it seemed that he was trying his best to hide the pain of the ninja.

When Feng Huang opened the curtain and came in, he saw Yu Zhiyan, who was already exhausted, lying on the edge of the bed, and slowly fell asleep.

The window edges were hard and cold, and she slept very restlessly, and her head swayed from side to side. If it weren't for Feng Huang protecting her, she almost fell to the ground.

He gently picked her up and went to the next room. I saw that the house was exquisitely furnished and had its own style, presumably his room.

Gently put her on the bed, and then pulled the quilt to cover her gently, Yu Zhiyan's small eyebrows in her sleep frowned tightly, and she let out a shallow cough.

Seeing that she slept soundly, Feng Huang wanted to extinguish the candle and go out, but he couldn't move, his dark eyes kept staring at her cheeks, her eyebrows, and even her shallow breathing, he felt so beautiful.

Once they were husband and wife with eyebrows on the case, sharing the same bed, and swearing by the mountains and the sea.

It seemed that Feng Huang's gaze was too hot, and Yu Zhiyan, who was sleeping, slowly opened her eyes, her long butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

When she saw the situation around her clearly, she hurriedly said, "How is Moshu?" ”

"I've fallen asleep, and you're resting, your body is weak and can't withstand such a toss." Feng Huang's eyes were full of distress.

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan slowly closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

Feng Huang slowly darkened the wax core in the room, and then turned to leave.

The smoke in her sleep was also a nightmare, and she woke up again after sleeping without a stick of incense, and she was covered in cold sweat, and she didn't even feel sleepy.

She put on her embroidered shoes and came to Moshu's house. She had just walked in, but she heard movement inside, and the door was not even closed, leaving a gap.

If Mo Shu was cold, she could pay it back, and she angrily lifted her feet and walked to the house. But I saw that Moshu's nurse was sitting in front of the bed, holding a spoon and pouring something into the child's mouth.

When the old woman heard the voice, as if she had been pricked by a needle, she hurriedly turned her head, and her face changed even more when she saw Yu Zhiyan.

Seeing her so frightened, Yu Zhiyan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she asked sharply: "Mo Shu has already used the decoction, what did you give him?" ”

The nurse pretended to be calm, but her legs kept trembling, "I just thought that the little master was hungry, so I gave me some mung bean soup." ”

Yu Zhiyan walked over and took a look, and there was really mung bean soup in the bowl, but she didn't believe that things were so simple, because the nurse was so nervous, "Did you get Moshu's smallpox, you want to poison him." ”

The nurse fell to her knees with a thud, but she was in tears, "Mo Shu was a slave who grew up watching him grow up, and he has always served him as a master, how can he harm him." ”

"I think you just have bad intentions." Yu Zhiyan said sharply: "I'll lock you up in the official mansion to see if you still say anything." ”

The nurse insisted that she just wanted to give Mo Shu some mung bean soup, and Yu Zhiyan saw that she clearly didn't cry when she didn't see the coffin.

"Don't forget, my husband is General Gu, and if you send you to the official mansion, you are wronged, and I will be guilty of a word." Yu Zhiyan's eyes were cold.

"The slaves and maids have been recruited, and they have all been recruited." The nurse was really frightened, "It's not smallpox on the little master, it's just mung bean allergy, and the pox-"

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan suddenly became angry, pointed at her and said angrily: "What a slave, I actually planned to come to the master." ”

And as soon as Yu Zhiyan finished saying this, he felt wrong, obviously even the imperial doctor diagnosed it as smallpox, how could it be just an allergy. But what ability does a nurse have to make the imperial doctor lie, and it is clear that there are more powerful people who help her.

Yu Zhiyan understood, but still asked, "Who instructed you to do this?" ”

The nurse naturally didn't dare to answer, but a light voice came quietly with the sound of pushing the door, "It's me." ”

"Feng Huang, isn't it enough for you to hurt Mo Shu once, why do you want to hurt him like this." Yu Zhiyan questioned him in a mournful voice, and then turned around and hugged Mo Shu tightly in his arms, wanting me to go outside.

He tugged at her sleeve all at once, "Where are you going to take him?" ”

"You don't deserve to be his father, I'll take him out of here."

The child who was originally asleep, where could he withstand such a toss, woke up crying, and vomited all the mung bean soup he had just eaten.

The nurse saw that the child was crying pitifully, and was afraid that the two of them would get into trouble and hurt the child, so she hurriedly got up from the ground to snatch the child in Yu Yan's arms.

Yu Zhiyan naturally didn't follow, but at this moment, Feng Huang's indifferent voice came again, "Let me tell you why you want to harm Moshu?" ”

She went to fight for the child's hand and stopped suddenly, and let the nurse snatch Moshu back.

Feng Huang asked the nurse to leave the house with the crying child, and only the two of them were left in the empty room, and the windows were whirring in the cold wind.

Finally, he said lightly, "Only if you stay in Beijing, Gu Jue will obediently come back to confess his guilt, and he will not defect with the army in his hands." ”

Yu Zhiyan only understood at this time that he was afraid that the queen mother in the palace was going to make a move, and only by sending him out could he be punished, and the rope that held his throat was Yu Zhiyan.

A faint mist spread in her dark eyes, "It turns out that you are not calculating Moshu, it is actually me." How the prince of Nan'an was so indisputable in the world at the beginning has become so despicable and shameless today. ”

"What about calculating you, you're just a nasty woman who forgets her roots." Feng Huang's voice was cold, and his pupils contracted deeply.

She looked up in disbelief, she didn't believe that such words came from Feng Huang's mouth.

How many times has Yu Zhiyan been scolded these days, and even in front of her, some people have scolded her for lewd words, but these are far from Feng Huang's understatement.

Feng Huang is different from Gu Jue, Gu Jue has an arrogant temper, and he scolds people at every turn, evil obstacles, rotten wood and dung and the like. But the naturally noble Feng Huang is angry, and he won't say such things.

"What did you say?" Her voice trembled.

"No one has ever asked me where I went when Gu Jue went to Nan'an Wangfu to raid my house. On that day, I was sent by Gu Yinglian to the mansion of the Qingzhou Thorn Shi to take care of me. That Qingzhou assassin knows that I am the one who killed his son, do you know how he treated me? ”

Yu Zhiyan recalled in a trance, when she and Feng Huang went to play on the street, the son of the Qingzhou Thorn Shi was vicious to the juggling grandfather and grandson, at that time she also complained that Feng Huang was the prince of Nan'an, and she didn't care about her own people, but she didn't expect him to kill him.

She finally closed her eyes in pain, and couldn't bear it, "Don't say any more." ”

"He ordered my tendons to be broken, and then he ordered my bones to be broken, and then he was healed, and when he was healed, he broke again. I stayed there for only four months, and not a single bone in my body was unbroken. Feng Huang's eyes were full of hatred.

Yu Zhiyan's heart is like a knife, as if he saw Feng Huang, who had just lost his relatives, desperately living in the Assassin's Mansion, that kind of dark day, Yu Zhiyan had also experienced.

She couldn't bear to hear it anymore, but he wanted to continue.

"Actually, I once escaped, I searched around for news of you, but I learned that you were caught by Gu Jue and became a prisoner." Feng Huang's eyes were cold, without a trace of temperature, "Later, I caught up with you, I just wanted to rescue you and take you to the ends of the earth." ”

She sat down on a chair in the room and burst into tears.

"But when I tried my best to get into the barracks, you and Gu Jue were upside down, and they were in love with each other. Tell me, what is the difference between you and the women in the green building, but they are for the silver taels, what are you for? Feng Huang grabbed her hand at once and stared at her deadly.

He was like a demon crawling out of the eighteenth layer of hell, looking at her viciously.

"Say no more, I beg you to say no more." Yu Zhiyan cried out in pain and pleaded.

"At that time, I knew that the most harmful thing in the world is love, and my father gave up the throne at his fingertips for these two words, and fell to the end of no bones." Feng Huang's face was pale, and he was full of hideousness, "I also wanted to give up my deep hatred for you, and I just wanted to take you away." It's ridiculous to think about it now. ”

His hand was still clutching hers tightly, so cold, almost cold to the bone.

"After being captured by Qingzhou Thorn Shi again, I realized that the most useful thing in this world is power, I want to stand on the seat of the Ninety-Five, let everyone surrender at your feet, and let everyone's life and death be in your hands."

Looking at Feng Huang, who was almost crazy, Yu Zhiyan raised his head and looked at her, "How can the throne you want be so easy to get, Gu Jue is also worried about that position, not because he is jealous of his own sister, but now he is calculated by you like this." ”

"I'm different from him, at least I can cure this family, he's just a barbarian who can only fight and kill." Feng Huang's eyes looked at her coldly.

This kind of Feng Huang was so strange, as if she had never known him. She should have noticed that Feng Huang had changed a long time ago, and if she had doubted it, she wouldn't have been too shocked today because he tore off all the covers.

She still remembered how he looked when he was tortured by Sun Xi's eunuch, how much hatred a person had in his heart to endure to such a point. will put away all the dignity and go to the Queen Mother as a disdainful face.

"Maybe you miscalculated, Gu Jue is such an arrogant person, how could he come to the capital to kill himself because of me." Yu Zhenyan raised his eyes and smiled abruptly.

Feng Huang looked at him fixedly, his gaze uncertain, "If you become an outcast, there is only one way to die." ”
