Chapter 34: Confrontation

Yun Yanzheng was originally a taboo-free temperament, and at this moment, she didn't care if it was given or kissed by men and women, even though she was not afraid of death, but before she died, she still felt that she was comfortable, and she was as casual as possible.

Gu Xi also smiled at her actions.

It seems that there are some things that need not be said between them, and some things that do not need to be exposed, but they know each other in their hearts.

The wind was strong all the way, and the guards at the city gate showed the token of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and smoothly swept through the west city gate and rushed straight to the Hengwang Mansion.

Before the two of them reached the palace, a fast horse outside the long street had already heard the bell and galloped, cutting off their way.

Gu Xi grabbed the reins of the horse in time and threw a sudden glance at the visitor.

The man sat upright on the horse in a janitarian suit, his eyes were looking directly at Yun Yanzheng leaning in front of Gu Xi, and his heart was suddenly shocked, as if he couldn't imagine that he would see such a scene when he came in a hurry.

He didn't speak, Gu Xi had already said coldly: "Commander Chu, is there an accident in the palace?" ”

Chu Ruirong came back to his senses, suppressed all kinds of emotions and questions in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, it was unexpected, I came to look for Mr. Gu, and I must return to His Majesty's bedroom within a stick of incense, and half a pillar of incense has passed at this moment." ”

Under the moonlight, which was as white as silver, he was well-dressed, his expression was uncertain, but his blazing eyes never left Yun Yanzheng from beginning to end.

Yun Yanzheng didn't avoid his gaze, but just let him see it clearly, she really couldn't use one of her fingers anymore, and she didn't feel that she needed to be embarrassed to throw herself forward on the horse's neck, as if she should avoid suspicion. She was still leaning on Gu Xi's body at the moment, smiled softly, and urged again: "Brother Gu, please push Ben Shuai." I will wait in King Heng's mansion by myself, you hurry up and follow Rui Rong into the palace! ”

The two of them have the same thoughts in their hearts at the moment, and there is no need to pretend to be polite about those false courtesies. Needless to say, Yun Yanzheng's nature does not like to be confined to the world, so in the face of Chu Ruirong's doubts and incomprehension, one person is able to take measures, and the other is calm.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Ruirong finally realized that she was wrong, and couldn't help but drive to inspect immediately. Eyes staggered closely, facing the hazy street lamp, only to see the look on her eyebrows, the aura in her eyes is still there, but she smiled at him shallowly, white clothes, black hair, there is a lazy style, delicate posture.

She had never shown weakness in front of him, and now this situation made Chu Ruirong's heart suddenly soften, and her eyes stared at her as warm as water, waiting for her to answer.

Gu Xi smiled leisurely, his left hand was firmly wrapped around Yun Yanzheng's waist, and he replied in a clear voice: "Yun Shuai must enter the palace with Gu Mou at this moment, and he must not leave Gu Mou. Raising his eyes to meet the hostile gaze that the other party expected to shoot, the smile in his eyes was more subtle, and his voice was softer, "In the battle just now, Yun Shuai accidentally fell into the opponent's Gu poison, and it has been dormant in her body for a long time, if it is not stabilized before Yin Shi, it will definitely have endless troubles." ”

At this moment, on the quiet long street of Gyeonggi, the sound of Jin Ge could be faintly heard in the distance, and in the glow of a quiet lamp nearby, the young man in white smiled leisurely, and his voice was elegant, as if he was talking about something that did not matter, but his words made the expressions of the other two people change suddenly.

Yun Yanzheng frowned, she didn't expect that what she was in was Gu poison.

"Gu Poison!" Chu Ruirong subconsciously tightened his grip on the reins, he had been extremely disgusted with Gu things in recent days, and he hated all kinds of viciousness of those Gu things. Now that he heard that his sweetheart had fallen for such an evil thing, a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart, he glared at Gu Xi fiercely, and said almost questioningly: "Mr. Gu, aren't you boasting that the prescription for repelling Gu worms can make Gu worms not invade?" ”

Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, didn't explain much about this, only looked up at the sky, and said unhurriedly: "At this time, it is already three o'clock in the ugly hour, and Yun Shuai and I will enter the palace first." I also have to trouble Commander Chu to come to King Heng's mansion to bring my medicine box into the palace. He pulled the reins lightly, and with a dexterous shake of his wrist, he turned the horse's head, and his legs were clamped in the horse's belly, and the silver bell and white horse, which could travel thousands of miles a day, immediately carried the two of them away.

Leaving Chu Ruirong isolated under the moon with an angry face, he was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to go straight to King Heng's Mansion to get a medicine box for Gu Yi.

The palace was under martial law even more than before, and when Chu Ruirong returned to the palace with the medicine box, there seemed to be an unusual subtle atmosphere faintly flowing in those silent darkness.

The closer you get to the emperor's bedroom, the more obvious the smell of the imminent * becomes. The sentry and Praetorian Guards in ambush everywhere had been withdrawn a hundred paces away, and although there was no movement, the sound of breathing everywhere was like a taut string.

He was the emperor's guard, and he was ordered to go to ask Gu Xi, so he returned to the palace to resume his life, and he could pass unimpeded. Chu Ruirong was concerned about the emperor's safety; Worried about the Gu poison on Yun Yanzheng's body, this road can be described as non-stop, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the sky, sighed lightly in his heart, and strode up the steps outside the courtyard of the dormitory, signaling to the eunuch guarding the door.

The young chamberlain stood tremblingly, and after receiving the order, he turned around and respectfully restrained himself towards the door, and shouted loudly: "Report to the emperor, the commander of Chu is here!" ”

"One more is better than one less." A woman's voice came from afar in the dormitory, but the words were clear, and there was a hint of decisiveness in the soft voice, which was unforgettable.

Chu Ruirong stopped and frowned deeply, it seemed that the situation in the dormitory was no different from before he left the palace. He glanced at the medicine box in his hand, and was about to speak, but Gu Xi's voice sounded in the silence, and he still said with a smile: "People don't have to come in, but they need to put the medicine box into the courtyard, didn't Niang Niang just say that she wanted to see my ability?" Why, I'm scared now? ”

The woman chuckled softly, "If the people outside the courtyard don't want your majesty to do anything wrong, don't act rashly. Don't be excited, if there is no medicine, the eldest princess of this Wei Kingdom will be my person as long as she passes the Yin hour, unless you kill her before the Yin time. ”

When Chu Ruirong heard this, he felt anxious for a moment, and he wanted to rush in, but reason told him not to be impulsive.

Gu Xi's gentle voice sounded again, but he was asking Yun Yanzheng: "Eldest Princess, it seems that we don't have a third way to choose now." After the end of the day, either you will become a puppet of the mother; Or you will die at my hands. ”

Yun Yanzheng's voice said softly: "Then I choose to die in your hands." Her tone was relaxed, as if she wasn't worried about her life or death. Chu Ruirong could even imagine that she was leaning back on the recliner at the moment, with a shallow smile on her elegant and bright face, looking at Gu Yi casually, casually talking about her life and death choice.

"That's good!" The woman sighed lightly: "An emperor of the Wei Kingdom, an eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom, and a descendant of the emperor of the genius of the heavens, all died in this splendid palace with this palace, and this palace has suffered in vain." ”

As soon as the words "descendants of the emperor" entered his ears, Chu Ruirong's eyes outside the courtyard instantly became bright.

In the dormitory, next to the splendid screen, a Xiang concubine chair was lying in white like clouds, she breathed steadily, and looked at the people on the side calmly; And on the Huanghuali Taishi chair next to her right hand, the young man in white sat elegantly on it, his head leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes were lightly closed, his hands were clasped between his abdomen, and the corners of his lips smiled slightly: "Since Niangniang said that I am a genius of Tianzhong, didn't I expect that there would be such a situation in this dormitory before entering the palace?" If you leave everything behind at that time, turn around and walk out of the city, the end of the world is bleak, what can you do? If I am attached to wealth and wealth, and I am not as good as my life, the world is free. Since I have come here, I naturally have the conditions to be able to negotiate with my mother. ”

"What conditions can you have?" On another Huanghuali chair next to the brocade couch sat a woman in solemn palace dress and bright makeup. She is young and beautiful, but her eyes are extremely cool at the moment, the smile on her face seems to have a layer of frost, and her gaze at Gu Xi is full of hostility and vigilance.

On the brocade couch next to her lay the emperor in bed clothes, although his person was awake, he could not move, could not speak, and looked at the woman in a blink of an eye, with a flash of anger and fear in his expression. He didn't expect that the woman named Huang Ying, whom he had always indulged and loved the most, was actually a deadly chess piece buried by the other party's side.

After the murder of the Jingshi, the woman fasted and worshiped the Buddha and prayed for the blessing of the country. Unexpectedly, the assassin was discovered in her dormitory tonight, and he was blamed for his momentary soft-heartedness and wanted to protect her under his wings, but he fell for her tricks, and he would be so far-sighted and long-planned. If she hadn't asked for anything else, she was afraid that her life would have been lost in her hands.

"Since Niangniang risked her life to hold Your Majesty hostage, it is naturally to tie me up in the dormitory so that they can escape from Kyoto." Gu Yi's voice said lightly, and there seemed to be a gentle spring breeze blowing through his eyebrows, "It's a pity that Niangniang's plan to hold His Majesty hostage did not go as smoothly as expected, and there were some obstacles, so there was a little difference in the hour." But because of this little difference, how many unpredictable things can happen in the world? For example, did they escape at all? He reached out and placed a silver lock on the desk casually, "For example, will the backup come to answer?" ”

Huang Ying looked at the silver lock carved with strange patterns on the desk, her face suddenly turned pale, and her hands in her sleeves were clenched. She naturally knew that this silver lock was a token that represented their identity as a wizard and would never leave them, and that it would be an ominous omen that would appear here at this moment.
