Chapter 184 has changed

When the dawn of the morning fell on the earth, a news spread from the palace all over the capital, and countless fast horses came out of the city gates on all sides to announce this important event to all parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The royal family decided that King Wenjun, the son of King Fengxiu, was the crown prince and gave him the name Wei.

The Great Zhou Dynasty Longqing Emperor finally has a successor, in order to celebrate, the emperor who dragged the sick body announced the amnesty, the whole of Beijing is even more joyful, more lively than the New Year, the officials of the six departments of the court are busy, preparing for the canonization ceremony a few days later.

In this situation, other jobs have been postponed, so Gu Hai's new appointment has not come down, but this is also a rare time for him to spend time at home with his mother or study poetry and books.

Thinking of the upcoming canonization ceremony, Gu Hai's heart couldn't help but be pinched high, which also means that the moment to decide his sister's final fate has also come.

"Young master, it's time to eat." The little maid whispered outside.

Gu Hai came back to her senses, put down the scroll in her hand and walked out, in the living room, Cao sat alone at the dining table, looking stunned, looking extremely lonely, she seemed to be wandering in the world, and did not notice that Gu Hai walked in.

"Mother?" Gu Hai sat down beside her and whispered with a bit of inquiry.

"Oh, here we are." Cao Shi came back to his senses, and a smile appeared on his face, "Eat quickly." ”

Gu Hai's gaze swept over her face, and saw that Cao's eyes were swollen, his eyes were bloodshot, obviously crying and not sleeping well, his eyes fell on Cao's sideburns, and at some point, there were a lot of gray hairs.

The mother is only in her thirties....Gu Hai couldn't help but be shocked.

"Eat it, make your favorite tofu with Chinese cabbage...."Cao Shi smiled, giving him cloth vegetables, "It's easy to buy tofu, this tofu in the capital, somehow these days, I can't buy it, I don't know if people have wrapped all the tofu in the capital... Well, I still let people run out of town to buy it..."

Gu Hai's chopsticks suddenly fell down with a clear sound.

"What's wrong?" Cao Shi was startled and looked at him.

The maid on the side picked it up early and changed it for Gu Hai.

"It's okay," Gu Hai concealed his emotions, smiled and said, while giving Cao Shi a dish, "I still think the meat is delicious..."

"Well, let's do it tonight." Cao also smiled.

The mother and son diverted from the topic at the same time, and dispersed after a hasty meal.

Gu Hai came directly to Gu Bainiang's study, saying that the study was also a small pharmaceutical room, with a shelf of books, in addition to various concocted tools.

"What the young master is looking for?" Lingbao asked later.

"Find a book to see..."Gu Hai replied as he took out a medicine book from the bookshelf and opened it to read.

Lingbao was puzzled, but he didn't ask again, and began to wipe lightly.

The room was quiet, only the sound of turning books gently, and at some point, Lingbao found that the sound of turning books stopped, she straightened up and looked over, and saw Gu Hai holding the medicine book in his hand, his eyes were stunned.

"Young Master?" Lingbao walked over and asked in a low voice, "Miss still has some books in the bedroom...."

"No," Gu Hai came back to his senses and shook his head, his gaze condensed on the page.

Arsenic, highly toxic, tofu boiled together.

"Let's get started...," he muttered under his breath, his hand gently stroking the pages.

Three days later, the crown prince was canonized.

As the home of the court officials, Gu Hai also prepared early in the morning, Gu Hai changed into official robes, and the Cao family also put on makeup, and led a group of servants to stand on the street outside the door.

The street has already been paved with loess and swept evenly, and the Great Zhou forbidden army wearing Xuan armor has already stood on the side of the street, all with indifferent expressions and expressionless faces, holding swords in their hands, they have been ordered, but if anyone is disrespectful, they can be killed on the street.

In order to let all the people admire the abundance of the crown prince, the emperor specially ordered the king of Wenjun to set off from the palace of the county to participate in the ceremony, so when the sky is not dawn, the entire capital is almost empty, and everyone flocks to the road where the king of Wenjun passes by the guard of honor.

There is constant news of true and false news coming from the front.

"It's out, it's out...."The maids of the Gu Hai family passed on the latest news one after another, chattering excitedly.

As the lowest level of the people, I am afraid that this is the first and last time to come into contact with such a noble person so closely, although the pressure of the forbidden army a few steps away is like a mountain, but it cannot stop the noise like a tide.

After not knowing the news of the crown prince's arrival several times, a long guard of honor finally appeared in everyone's sight, and the noise on the side of the street suddenly reached its climax.

"Look... What a magnificent carriage."

"I see the king"

"You want to die, it's the crown prince"

The people who sat in the seats bought at a large price in the restaurant and tea shop finally realized the advantage of money, and they were the first to clearly see the whole picture of the crown prince's honor guard.

The honor guard composed of the important ministers of the court, the palace maids and eunuchs, and the forbidden army escorted each other, led a seven horses pulling a canopy car carved with a cloud dragon to drive slowly.

The carriage was draped with jade silk veil, so that the crown prince sitting in it loomed, and people could clearly see that this was a handsome and extraordinary man, he was wearing an extremely gorgeous crown prince dress, with a straight high neck, a golden crown and a bundle of hair, white jade as a belt, a hanging cloud dragon pendant, and a moire gold-rimmed court boot.

"Ah" A burst of women's screams and cheers broke out from the restaurant and tea shop on the street, if it weren't for the forbidden army having searched and investigated in advance, and the government warned in advance, these women did not dare to carry flowers, but they were afraid that the crown prince's carriage would be flooded with flowers at this time.

Although there were warnings and strict orders, they could not stop the enthusiasm of the women, and countless women of different shapes and flowers leaned out of the windows, waving their hands and raising silk handkerchiefs.

The atmosphere on the street was once again set off to a climax.

Everywhere they went, the people knelt and bowed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose" Gu Hai of the Cao family led a group of servants to kneel down on the side of the street, watching the honor guard pass from afar.

Gu Hai helped Cao Shi to stand up, and once again glanced at the Yunlong Huagai carriage in the distance.

"Mother, let's go back." He whispered.

Cao nodded, sighed imperceptibly, and turned around holding his son's hand.

In the midst of the noise and celebration, the mother and son looked as if they were independent in another world.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived"

The high voices rang one after another, inside and outside the imperial city, and at the same time, the melodious bells resounded solemn ancient music.

After the canonization ceremony, the palace held a grand feast, and the singing and dancing continued until late at night.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please come here."

The big eunuch in a moire costume held a whisk in his hand, respectfully leading the way, and the mighty palace maids surrounded the king of Wenjun, no, the crown prince Wei walked towards the East Palace.

This is a magnificent palace, more majestic than the former county king's mansion, more majestic and magnificent, everywhere the steps are made of white jade, in front of the palace like goose wings standing palace maids, see them approaching, kneeling down in unison, the mountain calls a thousand years old.

King Wenjun stood under His Royal Highness, standing solemnly with his hands in his hands.

"Stand down."

In the prince's bedroom, accompanied by the voice of Huang's chamberlain, everyone sang in unison and exited.

"Your Highness, please go to bed." Huang Neishou said in a low voice, and while stepping forward to support King Wenjun, his tentacles were drenched.

The dress was already soaking wet.

Huang Neishou couldn't help but tremble, didn't dare to say a word, and helped him to walk quickly behind the heavy curtain.

In the small next room, Gu Bainiang and Peng Yizhen sat opposite each other.

"I've always been curious, you said that this concoction is really magical, it can actually detoxify this highly toxic arsenic cannon, leaving only the medicinal properties...."Peng said with a smile, while taking a sip of tea, and threw a green bean into his mouth.

"Actually, it's very simple, wrap the arsenic in a white cloth, then embed it in the tofu, cook it slowly, the tofu turns black, change it and cook it again, after boiling it three times, dry it out and grind it into powder, mix it with other medicinal powders and stir it, but it's just that this stirring is more laborious, and it is also my Liu Men's exclusive secret recipe, which is to stir a thousand times day and night over and over again..."Gu Banniang said with a smile.

Peng Yizhen listened first, and suddenly covered his ears with a smile, "I said Gu Niangzi, I don't have any intention of worshipping you as a teacher...."

Gu Bainiang also smiled, reached out and picked up a green bean and threw it into her mouth like Peng Yipin.

Silence fell, and the atmosphere in the small room suddenly became heavy.

"That..."Gu Banniang suddenly took out a roll of paper from her sleeve and pushed it in front of Peng Yi's body, "I'll leave this to you..."

Peng pinched the beans with his hand, pushed open the roll paper with his elbow, and saw the dense and neat fly-headed small letters, Liu Gong concocted the seventeen methods impressively, as if touching the coals, his arm retracted violently.

"Gu Bainiang, what do you mean?" He said.

"I'm calculating, it's..."Gu Bainiang smiled at him, "What's the matter, I'm the first...."

"By virtue of you first?" Peng Yizhen slapped the table and stood up, and the green beans in the bowl came out, "You first?" Gu Bainiang, let me tell you, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, you said, at the beginning, yes, I had bad intentions first, and I almost hurt you, my old Peng owes you a lot of reason, I am so old, you don't treat me as an elder, and now you have to treat me as a grandson..."

"Sit down," Gu Bainiang shouted in a low voice, "You shout"

Peng Yizhen gasped, his eyes were red, he sat down heavily, grabbed a handful of beans and threw them into his mouth and chewed with a crunching sound.

"I don't have a credible person, it's too late to find it, you can keep it as an heirloom..."Gu Banniang smiled, "My family doesn't need it, my brother will have a child in the future, and he will also study and enter the office, which is different from your family..."

"Phew." Peng smacked heavily with a needle.

The door creaked open, and the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end.

"Gu Niangzi..."Huang Nei's low voice sounded, "Please." ”

"Yes." Gu Bainiang stood up in response, picked up the tray on the side, and stepped out.

Looking at her back, Peng Yipin, who was behind him, reached out and grabbed the roll of paper and stuffed it into his arms, slammed his head against the corner of the table, and let out a muffled whimper.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Looking at the figure reclining on the luxurious bed behind the curtain, Gu Banniang put down the tray and knelt down to bow.

"No need to be polite." Wenjun's faint voice came out.

Huang Nei hurriedly went to help, Gu Bainiang kowtowed, thanked him and stood up, walked over step by step with the tray, and the curtain opened layer by layer and fell layer by layer

"Too..." Gu Bainiang glanced up at him, and saw that King Wenjun opened his eyes and looked over.

His gaze swept over her face.

"It's okay....", he whispered, lowering his gaze.

Gu Bainiang didn't have the heart to figure out what he meant for the time being, walked a few steps closer and knelt down in front of him again, and pushed the tray forward.

The red cloth was lifted to reveal two bowls with lids.

"It's two bowls of medicine." Gu Banniang said.

"How?" King Wenjun looked at her and asked.

"The little girl is willing to take this medicine with His Royal Highness...."Gu Banniang kowtowed and said.

Huang Neishou on the side suddenly looked approving, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe his tears.

"What do you want?" King Wenjun asked lightly with an expressionless face.

"I just ask for forgiveness for Peng not to die." Gu Eighteen Niang said on the ground.

King Wenjun chuckled, suddenly leaned over and reached out to lift her chin, looking at this indifferent face.

"It's all going to die, how do you think your life can be exchanged for his life?" He asked.

"Because the king of the county can." Gu Bainiang looked at his eyes and replied solemnly.

"Am I a good man in your eyes?" King Wenjun asked with a smile.

"Yes." Gu Bainiang replied, looking him directly into the eyes, "From that time in Xianren County, I know. ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and King Wenjun withdrew his hand, leaned back on the soft pillow, and closed his eyes.

There was silence in the room.

"Gu Xiang..."Wenjun Wang suddenly spoke, "Are you here again?" ”

"Peng Yipin, he was taken by me..."Gu Bainiang bowed her head to the ground to answer.

"I'm not asking about that." King Wenjun interrupted her, "Obviously you've already escaped, why you're coming back?" ”

Gu Banniang didn't speak.

"Or is it because I gave birth that your brother can give birth?" No mistakes, no word skipping. King Wenjun seemed to be talking to himself, and when he said this, he chuckled, and without waiting for Gu Bainiang to reply, he stretched out his hand and raised it, "Bring pen and ink." ”

"Your Highness." Gu Bainiang bowed her head to the ground, and there was already a choked voice.

Writing a few words on the silk paper with a pen, he took the prince's seal and stamped it, and waved his hand, Huang Neishou rolled up the silk paper, held it in his arms and wiped his tears away.

"Get up." King Wenjun said.

Gu Eighteen Niang Xie En stood up.

"Sit." King Wenjun said, patting and pointing across from him.

Gu Bainiang responded, took off her shoes and sat down, and put the tray between the two.

"Your Highness, please." She reached over a bowl and opened the lid.

King Wenjun looked at her and smiled, "I don't have the strength, you feed me." ”

"Okay." Gu Banniang pursed her lips and smiled, "The little girl is rude." ”

With that, he knelt on the bed and sat down beside King Wenjun.

Under the two soft lights next to the bed, the two are close at hand, and they can feel each other's warm breath.

"It's more bitter than the original medicine." Gu Bainiang said with a smile, and scooped it with a spoon to King Wenjun's mouth.

King Wenjun smiled and opened his mouth to eat.

"Actually, I don't know how bitter it is, so I'll taste it..."Gu Banniang scooped up a spoonful from another bowl and ate it herself.

"How?" King Wenjun looked at her and asked.

Gu Bainiang wrinkled her face and stuck out her tongue, "It's really bitter..."

"I think it's okay." King Wenjun smiled, and opened his mouth to eat another spoonful she handed over.

"Your Highness took a lot of medicine when he was a child, right? There are not many mistakes," Gu Bainiang asked with a little curiosity, scooped up a spoonful and ate it herself.

King Wenjun nodded, "There was a period where I ate a lot, and then I didn't eat it, and it was useless to eat it, and it would be fine if I didn't eat it." ”

He then took the pill and swallowed, "What about you?" ”

"Me?" Gu Bainiang took a spoonful of herself, frowned slightly and thought about it, "I was weak and sick when I was a child, in fact, it wasn't a big deal, my father was too careful, I was a little unwell, so he got some medicine for me to eat, in fact, now that I think about it, there is no need to eat it at all..."

"It is said that a father loves his daughter, and sure enough, it is." King Wenjun smiled, took the medicine, and suddenly raised his hand to Gu Banniang's mouth and wiped off a little medicine stain from the corner of her mouth.

Gu Bainiang smiled and thanked her, swallowed a spoonful of herself, and sighed a little sadly when she thought of her father.

"My dad loved me very much, but unfortunately I didn't care at that time, and I didn't think about it, I just enjoyed it with peace of mind... Even..."Her eyes were slightly red, "I even complained about looking down on him when others laughed at his family background..."

"People always know what is precious when they lose." King Wenjun replied, swallowed a mouthful of medicine, reached out and took out two crisp paper packets from under the pillow, and shook Gu Banniang, "Do you want to eat sugar?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Gu Bainiang faded away, and a smile appeared between her eyebrows, "Your Highness has prepared this?" ”

"I took two pieces of the dried fruit preserves on the banquet just now, and I originally only gave them to myself, so..."

Gu Bainiang had already taken a piece from him.

"I've never eaten royal candy in my life..."She smiled, reached out and opened it, put it to her mouth and bit it, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it's so sweet"

Just this piece of sugar, she simply picked up the bowl, "You can't waste this sugar..."

King Wenjun stretched out his hand to stop him, and Gu Bainiang looked at him with some puzzlement.

"This piece is also for you." He looked at her and smiled softly, "Drink slowly, you can talk a little more." ”

Gu Bainiang smiled, reached out and took the piece of candy in his hand, opened it, and handed it to his mouth.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it on the way." She said with a smile.

King Wenjun looked at her, opened his mouth to eat, and gently curled the tip of his tongue over her fingers.

"Actually..."Gu Bainiang fed him a mouthful of medicine with a spoon, and said after a moment of hesitation, "Actually... Death is not what it seems... Perhaps, death is life... Born in a place you can't even imagine... When..."

"When?" King Wenjun was puzzled by her words.

"That is to say..."Gu Banniang took the medicine herself and considered it, "If you can come back from the dead, Your Highness, do you want to go back to the time of your life?" ”

King Wenjun laughed, "I never speculate about what ifs. ”

"Oh, you're really boring..."Gu Banniang pursed her lips and smiled, and fed him a mouthful of medicine again, and the medicine bowl bottomed out.

"The past is the past, it's useless to think about it, and tomorrow is still tomorrow, if it's good today, tomorrow will naturally not be bad, so why waste time." He laughed.

"Yes." Gu Bainiang replied in a long voice, and drank the remaining medicine with her head up, "Then now, let's not think about it, let's sleep." ”

She turned around and touched the soft and luxurious futon with a little envy, "It's worth it this time, you can still sleep in a thousand years old bed...."

King Wenjun laughed again, and watched her really lie down in the position next to her, and suddenly got up again.

"Oh no, just in case... If only I could wake up... "By my transgression," she said, frowning with some trepidation, "then... Am I going to be dragged out and beheaded? ”

"Wake up and talk about it, why bother about tomorrow's affairs" King Wenjun stretched out his hand to push her, and Gu Bainiang fell inside.

"Then the king of the county, you have to think of a way for the little girl... The little girl can't die so easily... If you die like that... Too..."She fell on the soft futon, and the medicinal intent gradually came up, only to feel that her head was bigger than a while, and she wanted to explode, and she couldn't speak clearly. Because if you die like that... It's not worth it... I'm not afraid of death... I felt like I didn't deserve to die when I was going to die... I'm sorry... I'm sorry mom daddy.. I'm sorry... Master... I can't be sorry Master..."

"Okay..."King Wenjun was even more than her, but forcibly controlled, at this time, he couldn't resist the tiredness, and slowly closed his eyes, "I'll give you ideas..."

There was silence inside, and darkness enveloped the entire imperial city.

King Wenjun felt that he was walking in the dark, drifting endlessly, until a little fire appeared beside him, although it was small, but it made him feel warm.

There was a cacophony of sounds, far and near.

"How?"

"Shut up and get out"

"The golden needle I want is a needle"

Is this being done? King Wenjun flashed his thoughts in a trance, only to feel that the fire in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, as if it had burned his body, and the warm feeling gradually turned into a stinging pain, more and more painful, so painful that he wanted to shout, but found that he couldn't seem to make a sound.

Out of control, he never allows himself to lose control of himself, if he can't even control himself, can he still be considered alive?

Alive? By the way, is he still alive? Familiar memories flooded in and instantly overwhelmed him.

He looks like he's going to die, right? No mistakes, many words, no

He is conscious now, he feels pain, how can he be considered dead for a moment, even if he is alive

With this consciousness, the firelight intensified, surrounding his whole person, burning, and producing a shattering pain, and the king of Wenjun shouted.

With this shout, he opened his eyes...

At this moment, the thousand-year-old bell in Jiankang Xinglong Temple sounded out of thin air, which startled everyone in the temple to stop what they were doing and looked in the direction of the ancient bell with a frightened face.

In the meditation room, Master Ranran, who was kneeling on the futon, opened his eyes suddenly.

"It's changed," he muttered, "the insect dragon, the four seasons have changed, it's changed..."
