Yun Yanzheng's fingertips tightened, and his heart beat wildly in vain for his calm and bold idea. She always felt that the person who smiled like a cloud and was unfathomable, how could he stand the restraint of others? The emperor now mistakenly thinks that his weakness is his love for beauty, and she knows very well that it is just an illusion created by the intricate thoughts and methods of the third brother, her, and Gu Xi. And it is an illusion that cannot be explained or explained.

And the most terrifying of them is that Gu Xi seems to have walked into the net they patiently weaved step by step, but in fact, he has been controlling the direction of all this with a silent smile, so that they have stepped into his plan step by step and realized it later. Even her attempts to break this direction again and again were finally pinched by him, and even between words, she returned to the wrong path he directed.

For example, during the campaign to purge the rebels, she felt that the control he had displayed was so amazing that he wanted to create an imperfect crack in his tight layout. Without affecting the overall situation, it gave him a hint of frustration and loss of control, even at the cost of her own body. However, the truth is otherwise, whether it was her accidental Gu poison or Huang Ying's hijacking of the emperor to create a crisis, it did not affect his self-confidence and stability at all, but allowed his talent to shine more dazzlingly.

For example, Fang only reminded the emperor in the Qinzheng Hall that she and Gu Yi had an appointment with master and apprentice first, so there were many close behaviors in Luming Villa. It's just for the purpose of apprenticeship, and it's not as misunderstood by him and others, "My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good", but unfortunately, the emperor's momentary confusion is no match for Gu Xi's sentence "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate". A lowered posture, spoken by a person with a talent and pride, what other place can people think of? Only people who are trapped by love who "can't ask for it, tossing and turning" will be so "accommodating" and "tolerant" to her.

Yun Yanzheng rubbed his eyebrows and relaxed his body, but suddenly remembered what Gu Xi had said in Luming Villa, "Those troublesome things, don't worry about it, all this will come to an end one day." ”

What did he mean by all this?

What is he looking forward to?

In this place of power struggle, who can truly treat each other with sincerity? Who can survive here safely, who is not walking on thin ice step by step, as if facing the abyss? If anyone accidentally goes around himself and trusts others completely, what awaits him is often the abyss from which he will never recover. How could she not have walked all the way through all kinds of dumping, betrayal, betrayal, and conspiracy, and saw how many dark tides and swords and blood shadows were under all these powerful blades?

Unexpectedly, I remembered Gu Xi's words, where did the friendship of the royal people come from?

She wanted to laugh, but a wry smile appeared on her lips.

If Gu Xi had no chance of winning in this battle, he would not have holy will, or he would have made the emperor suspicious. Can he still walk out of the palace alive today? Can he still live to board the carriage arranged for him by King Heng's Mansion?

Yun Yanzheng had a lot of thoughts, and just closed his eyes, but the carriage had stopped tossing and turning.

The peace of the carriage was about to be broken again.

She took a long breath, got up and lifted the curtain, and got out of the carriage in a relaxed manner. In the greeting of everyone, he went straight to the mansion of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess's mansion was originally a princess's mansion, which was given by the first emperor. The mansion occupies a vast area and is extremely elegant and comfortable. At that time, she personally participated in the construction, and changed all kinds of pavilions and rockery corridors to exquisite and ingenious. This is the evidence of the emperor's favor for her, she not only has to accept it, but also accepts it gladly, giving a warning to the people in the court and the harem. However, he saved a large amount of silver for the repair of the garden and put it into the treasury. When the first emperor learned about it, he was also very curious, so he came to the garden to visit and enjoy, and exclaimed: "Although it is not like the royal atmosphere, it can be original, and it has a quiet and quiet wonder." ”

At this moment, the twilight spring season, the vegetation is more and more prosperous, and most of the trees planted in the house are light and delicate: bamboo, orchid, pine, cypress, banana, pear, plum, lotus, and the whole garden is shrouded in the fresh and faint fragrance of the leaves.

Yun Yanzheng walked back to the back garden with light steps, a vigorous white dress fluttering like flowing clouds in the wind, and his face and eyebrows were slightly tired.

After passing through the corridor, he retired the servants and turned to the "Zhiwei Hall" planted with verdant plantains. After she entered the study, she prepared to come back to tidy up after a long sleep.

Unexpectedly, the central office of the red sandalwood case presented a new and solemn letter. The jade pot on the case calms the nerves and incense is wafting, and the thin smoke hides the pitch-black font on the white paper, and you can still vaguely see the ups and downs of the mood and everyone's atmosphere.

At a glance, you can know that it is from Chu Ruirong's handwriting. Yun Yanzheng rolled his eyes, opened the letter and opened the paper, and the letter inside was not written by Chu Ruirong. The corners of her lips curled slightly, and the handwriting on the letter was vigorous and elegant, and the strength penetrated the back of the paper, which was written by Yun Yanjin. A few strokes, talking about the mountains and rivers around the imperial mausoleum, he himself climbed high and looked far away every day and lingered, leisurely and comfortable, but between the lines was faintly telling her to be careful in everything.

Yun Yanzheng read it carefully, and then burned it.

Staring at the firelight devouring Xiuyi's handwriting on the letter, her mind wandered. I don't know what Ruirong's expression was when the news of the pastry and the jade flute he gave to Gu Yi reached Kyoto? She didn't want to know how he felt at that time, but he sent her such a letter of peace before she was about to go on the expedition and the army was about to start.

Does he want her to give her a certificate with peace of mind?

He wants to tell her that he will take care of the third brother for her during this period?

Or is this just a ploy of the emperor?

Yun Yanzheng deeply felt that the two of them were both the same sorrow. Chu Ruirong's greatest sorrow is nothing more than her and her wariness of the emperor. And everything he did for her was inseparable from the shadow of the emperor, and he couldn't escape the speculation behind her scheming against him.

Even though they had been friends for many years, they were now less and less able to truly trust him.

In the palace of King Heng.

The front door of the "Weiyun Garden" is half-hidden, and the leaves of the pear trees in the garden are green and fine, just like the fresh and cool in the past.

Gu Xi sat elegantly on the ground under the tree, and the cloud sleeves on both sides spread out on the withered grass, like a snow-white butterfly spreading its delicate wings. He was looking down at the note in his hand, frowning slightly; Sometimes he smiles.

When he saw it, he held it in his hand and turned them into powder and sprinkled them in the air like the end of a star.

Sure enough, she had a lot of suspicions and precautions about him.

Interestingly, she could probably guess the layout of the urn that he led Jun into the urn step by step, and it was because she figured it out that she had more guesses about him. It is a pity that the emperor is on the opposite side of her. Yun Yanjin is now implicated in the bloody case and is under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum. There were already a lot of things between her and Chu Ruirong, and they couldn't get on the same boat at the moment, because they all hid unspeakable secrets and guilt in their hearts.

She knew the emperor's secret, but she was afraid that the emperor would know, so she hid it from Chu Ruirong, and helped Yun Yanjin recommend him to enter the palace to meet the emperor. If she had told Chu Ruirong the secret of the emperor she had speculated with him, she would have been worried about the emperor's suspicion of her and Yun Yanjin, and he Gu Xi would not have sat in King Heng's mansion as a guest so unharmed, let alone become a military advisor to the battle between Wei and Yu.

And Chu Ruirong, when he knew that Yun Yan had been poisoned by the puppet Gu, he could only stand outside the gate of the dormitory with the medicine box and wait, realizing that he was helpless, and there was no way to protect the person he loved at such an anxious and critical juncture. Watching time pass by in an instant, what kind of mood did she feel when her life and death were tied to a thousand moments? When he put Yun Yanzheng's life and death in danger in exchange for the emperor's safety, what was Chu Ruirong's choice? When Chu Ruirong inadvertently learned that the emperor had a prescription to remove the puppet Gu poison in his hand, but did not send it to heal Yun Yanzheng, what was his mind thinking? Whether Chu Ruirong was biased towards Yun Yan and disregarded the life and death of the entire clan in the Zhenfang Hou Mansion, or he was biased towards the emperor and ignored Yun Yan, he would feel guilty and remorse whenever he thought about it from now on.

"Soldiers are not bloody, and the heart is the best."

Gu Xi's eyes were secretive, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled. At this moment, no matter the eyes, smile, clothes, bearing, and demeanor, they are all like ice and snow ruthless, and they are like ice and snow that are so high that they can't force their eyes.

Now...... Yun Shezhi, everyone is drunk but you are awake, what is the taste?

He smiled slightly, like the softness and charm of spring flowers.

Gu Xi got up and brushed off the fallen leaves on his clothes, and walked elegantly to the courtyard, leaving the dead leaves behind him dancing one after another. His elegant and pure figure shuttles between the green shade of flowers and trees, like a flying moon, not stained by the dust of the world.

Before entering the camp, Yun Yanzheng verified one thing in the secret passage of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

At this time, the moon is thin and the stars are thin, and the night is as cool as water.

She sat by the window of the bedroom, leaned over the window, and looked at the courtyard in the dark night, and the moonlight and yellow flowers flew and fell. This flower blooms and sets, just a short day of fate, have they ever felt sorry for something?

Judging by the Gu master found by Zi Qingyan, the chief of the dark whistle, the "puppet" Gu on her body is indeed still unsolved. It's just that people used extremely exquisite acupuncture techniques to force her into the Sanjiao Sutra and trap her, but this person should have also given her a medicine similar to turtle breath, which made this Gu poison enter a dormant state under the power of the medicine, and temporarily stopped the harm to the Gu person.

Sure enough, the imperial brother did not give a prescription, and Gu Xi failed to completely remove the Gu poison on her body.

Qing Yan once asked the Gu Master if there was a way to save this Gu.

The Gu master shook his head, there are many prescriptions for the configuration of the "puppet" Gu poison, first you have to know the medicine configured by the other party, and then take the blood of the Gu person as the medicine guide, so that you can prepare the antidote prescription.

If you try it rashly, it will not only poison people, but also stimulate and speed up the awakening of sleeping Gu things.

Yun Yanzheng was introspecting whether he was too impulsive and confident this time, so he put himself in such a difficult situation. She was not cowardly, nor was she in awe, and only used resolute self-control to control her dislike of those Gu things. and calmly and decisively made a few decisions and handed them over to Yu Qingyan to complete.

As for the intentions of the royal brother, she can imagine.

So, what about the deep-minded one?

He lied to her, and for what?
