Chapter 36: Victory

Chu Ruirong didn't dare to think further, if His Majesty and Yun Yanzheng could only choose one of the two. And who will he choose? He hated Gu Xi for putting Yun Yanzheng on this fire and using her life and fate as a condition in exchange, but he also hated the answer that he had faintly weighed in his heart.

After a fierce struggle in his heart, his gaze became more and more calm. When he realized his choice, the shirt on his back was already tightly clinging to a layer of cold sweat.

In the dark night, a woman's cold voice came from the dormitory: "The exchange conditions are okay." But His Majesty must be asked to put a jade seal on the holy decree and issue a military order before the antidote can be handed over. ”

Gu Yi smiled lightly, Xian Ya got up and saluted the emperor, and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

Huang Ying stretched out her hand to untie the dumb hole of the person next to her, only to hear Yun Yanlong gritting her teeth and saying in a low voice: "Okay, very good." ”

The smile on the corner of Gu Xi's lips remained unchanged, and he said gently: "Back to Your Majesty, the holy decree will be written by the next generation for the time being, and then ask Your Majesty to add a seal, okay?" ”

Yun Yanlong bowed his head and said, "There is Mr. Lao." ”

The little eunuch outside the courtyard gate immediately asked, "Your Majesty, the pen and ink imperial scroll has been arranged, I don't know how to send it in?" ”

Huang Ying chuckled lightly and said softly, "Yuan Kui, you put an object on the ground in the middle of the courtyard. Bother Mr. Gu again, bring it into the dormitory. ”

After Yun Yanlong glanced at Gu Xi, he said in a deep voice: "Do it!" ”

After the little eunuch Yuan Kui agreed, he took a dry item that had been waiting for a long time on the side. Turning around, he asked Chu Ruirong to hand over the medicine box, and put the pen and ink emperor scroll on the top of the box. Trembling, he stepped into the deserted courtyard, carefully placed it on the ground in the center, and immediately retreated tremblingly. didn't dare to delay at all, for this lady really named him, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I couldn't help but admire Gu Xi's uncertain prophet even more and make all kinds of arrangements.

Chu Ruirong stood outside the courtyard gate, his eyes gradually sharpening. Although Yuan Kui didn't explain a word, he didn't ask a word. But looking at the crowd, everything seemed to have been arranged in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but feel a strange shock at the young man in the hall who had been talking and laughing.

In only half a pillar of incense, he only rushed from the city to the dormitory, thinking about the predicament, inquiring about the situation, and arranging countermeasures, so orderly and calmly. How clever and meticulous does his mind have to be to be so easy and impermeable?

Chu Ruirong stood in place and was not allowed to move. It was really because the huge waves in his heart had completely submerged him, and the cold feeling all over his body made his hands and feet seem to be numb from the cold.

Naturally, the people in the dormitory also heard the sound in the courtyard. Huang Ying looked at Gu Xi and waited for him to get something. Gu Xi, who was standing aside safely, looked calm, the corner of his eyes swept over the door slightly, and with a flick of his fingers on his waist, a white rope suddenly flew out of the door of the dormitory like a spiritual snake. There was a low sound, but Bai Suo rolled up the belt of the medicine box, and with a flexible flick of his wrist, Bai Suo flew back to the desk in the dormitory with the medicine box as if he had a spirit.

There was never a single move, and there was no moment of distraction left for the opponent to take advantage of. The corners of his lips smiled slightly, lifted the lid of the box, and delicately took out the pen and ink scroll in it, spread it on the desk, closed the box and ignored it. It seems that there is no need for even a moment of thought, and the decree is drawn up with a pen.

Huang Ying was still unwilling in her heart, and Gu Xi had already saluted Yun Yanlong and said, "Your Majesty, Yi Yi has already prepared the next order, please take a look." And I beg your Majesty's forgiveness for the crime of rudeness. After the emperor nodded slightly, limited to the previous agreement with Huang Ying, he was not allowed to approach the emperor for half a point, he only rolled up the imperial scroll with the white rope in his hand and sent it to the brocade couch, gently put it down, and spread it out where Yun Yanlong and Huang Ying were within reach. Although this kind of kung fu is not difficult for Huang Ying, it is not easy to find the horns of an antelope like him.

Yun Yanzheng suddenly felt extremely tired and closed her eyes, listening to this word and deed, but her heart was laughing slightly. Since this person stepped into the Forbidden Palace, he had people tear the white curtain into strips and tie it around his waist, which turned out to be so useful. It's really a well-conceived plan, and it is intended to change in a thousand miles.

Yun Yanlong looked at Huang Ying in a blink of an eye, the needle in his eyes was deep, and he smiled lightly: "Concubine Ai, time is like an arrow, can you allow Lone to use the seal?" ”

Huang Ying's eyes swept over the contents of the imperial scroll, and she only smiled vainly at the emperor's intimacy. The matter has come to this point, and the past is as illusory as a dream and cannot be traced. She stretched out her hand and gently flicked it, untied the acupoints on the emperor's body, let Yun Yanlong turn over and sit up, took the imperial scroll and browsed it, got up and took out the jade seal in the secret cabinet behind the brocade couch, and firmly covered the vermilion seal on it.

Yun Yanlong returned to the brocade couch and sat down, raised the holy decree in his hand to Huang Ying's eyes, and said calmly at this moment: "The holy decree is here, concubine, what about the antidote to loneliness?" ”

Huang Ying took off an inconspicuous golden hairpin from her bun. Flicking the butterfly fluttering wings above, a clever spring bounced open, and two small white pills were exposed in the center of the butterfly, she took one out and handed it to Yun Yanlong, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please take it." ”

Such a beautiful flower and stunning face are now like snake and scorpion poison in the eyes of the emperor, how can he dare to take it, turn his eyes to look at Gu Xi, and ask with a smile: "Mr. Gu, in your opinion, is this pill an antidote or a poison?" ”

Gu Xi smiled like a cloud, and his demeanor was elegant, "Niangniang forgives the sin, please give the pill to the next for inspection." After Huang Ying smiled, he quickly threw the pill into the air with a flick of his fingers, Gu Xi's fingertips slightly flicked Bai Suo and lightly rolled down the pill, his right hand took Bai Suo back, and his left hand held the thin pill through Bai Suo, and after sniffing lightly for a moment near the tip of his nose, he said softly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured." In this joint eye, I am afraid that Niangniang will not have the heart to make a poison to fool her, after all, this pill is related to the lives of many people. ”

Yun Yanlong thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Someone! ”

Yuan Kui and Chu Ruirong, who were guarding outside the courtyard gate, immediately entered in response, and immediately came to the door of the dormitory to obey the order, and then the Praetorian Guards also entered the courtyard.

Yun Yanlong asked people to send the holy decree out quickly; While asking Huang Ying to return to the palace to be confined, he took the pill presented by Gu Yi in his hand, and always held it untreated, and there was a fierce color rolling under his eyes.

The crisis in the dormitory has been lifted, and no one seems to realize that the ugly time has passed.

When Chu Ruirong came back to his senses, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and turned around to see Yun Yanzheng sleeping peacefully on Concubine Xiang's chaise longue. Her eyes were closed, her breathing was light, and there was no terrible scene he had imagined countless times, nor did she have the grief and despair of her life and death hanging by a thread.

The young man, who was as white as snow on the top of the mountain and as bright as the moon in the clouds, was standing beside her at this moment, and his snow-white and flawless right hand gently brushed away the few strands of broken hair scattered on her eyelids. His eyes were gentle and careful, and he combed her hair neatly and refreshedly, then pulled up a somewhat loose bun and gently inserted the hosta into it to tie it up. When he looked at her sleeping Xue Yan, the corners of his lips curled up slightly with a faint smile.

Huang Ying had just walked to the door of the dormitory, stood still and turned around and happened to see this scene. She stared sharply, her pupils contracted like needles, and several small silver needles had been inserted into the key points on Yun Yanzheng's body. This young man can save people so unconsciously in her unwavering vigilance?

She suddenly had a bad premonition, wondering if she had neglected to take precautions against this teenager at some point. The time had come, and the female Gu hidden in her body had obviously sprouted happily when the two of them stepped into the dormitory, but at this moment, there was no more movement, and Yun Yanzheng slept peacefully beside him, without half a cent, the intense pain and heart-rending struggle she was looking forward to. If it weren't for the puppet Gu body's coldness, it would be difficult for a man's masculine body to survive, she should have cast it on the emperor, her heart involuntarily continued to sink like a thousand pounds of heavy stones, and she was not sure what her chances of winning this game were?

After the Praetorian Guards took Huang Ying away, the imperial doctors who had been waiting outside the courtyard rushed in and came to the emperor's bedside to see him.

Zhu Wenxiao, the elder of the cabinet cabinet, was dressed upright, and looked at Gu Xi, who had been guarding Yun Yanzheng's side, with a cold brow. He had secretly heard of his name for a long time, and he had just hurriedly taken a look outside the dormitory, and it was only at this moment that he seriously saw this long-rumored young man.

I heard that his identity was mysterious, and he had a close personal relationship with Prince Heng, and even called him to accompany him when the prince was in unbearable pain. There are many previous rumors that are ambiguous. Unexpectedly, this time in the bright lights of the dormitory, it was a bright eye, this person did look picturesque and handsome, and the eyebrows and eyes were even more noble and cold, to his surprise, there was no half of the bewitching and dirty atmosphere.

The "Secluded Palace" is extremely quiet all around, and it seems to be a good place to recuperate, but it is also the farthest and most remote palace from the emperor.

is called recuperation, but in fact, Gu Xi and Yun Yanzheng are under house arrest in the palace.

After Gu Xi dispatched the palace maid who came with him to settle Yun Yanzheng, her peaceful eyes slightly looked around the half-old furnishings in the hall, and smiled lightly on her lips, without a trace of decadence in her expression.

Chu Rui, who was escorted, had a trace of worry hidden between his eyebrows, he glanced at Yun Yanzheng from a distance, and followed Gu Yi out of the bedroom. Turning to the front hall, he raised his eyes to look at Gu Xi, and said uneasily: "In such a situation, is Mr. really sure to cure the eldest princess?" He had to admit that when he saw Gu Xi's still calm expression, his confidence rose slightly.

Gu Xi glanced at him and said indifferently: "Shizi, please wait for my two teas." ”
