Gu Yuan's side and Yang Yi handled the urgent military affairs, and then went to the Fusi Prison in Beizhen.

Lu Ran is now in the official residence of Jinyi Wei, and he is also the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, and he is in charge of all affairs in the edict.

Gu Yuan knew that Lu Jing was cultivating him so that he could take over his class in the future.

Just like Yang Yi promoted him to the military department when he was a teenager, he was the head of the department.

The staff department and the yamen are in charge of the staff officers, and the so-called strategy is in the middle of the battle, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, which is not an exaggeration at all.

At that time, Lang Zhong of the Ministry Division was Xue Ji, the commander of the Nine Gates, Gu Yuan's senior brother.

Lu Ran was dressed in a dark cloak, standing in front of the steps of Fusi in Beizhen against the backlight, and was silent.

Gu Yuan pinned a token to his waist and walked forward slowly, "How's the trial going?" ”

Lu Ran shook his head, "I didn't say a word, but I know that he killed not only Fang Yixiao, but also my father." ”

Gu Yuan also knew about this past.

In the 27th year of the Zhenyuan Dynasty Taizhou Naval Battle, Lu Ran's father Lu Xuan stayed in Taizhou as the governor of Zhejiang.

Lu Ran closed his eyes, and a tear slipped silently.

Gu Yuan patted him lightly on the shoulder: "The festival mourns and changes." Where is Choi Hyun Chun imprisoned? ”

Lu Ran pouted, "What are you looking for that guy for?" ”

Gu Yuan took off the token on his waist: "The emperor asked me to come, in fact, I came here to seek revenge." ”

Lu Ranqi said: "You also have a grudge against him?" ”

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "His Highness has some grudges against him. ”

"He's being held at the bottom of the Imperial Prison, and I'll take you there." Lu Ran said to Gu Yuan while turning all the way down the narrow road, "By the way, take it easy for a while, I've already been punished, don't kill people." ”

"You should say this to the people under you, they don't take it seriously." Gu Yuan threw down a sentence and walked straight down.

"What do you mean my men don't have a serious deal?" Lu Ran hurriedly caught up, "Hey, wait a minute, do you know where he is?" ”

The prison was very dark, bottomless, and there was no light or sound.

In the depths of the corridor, there was only the slight footsteps of two people in front of and behind them.

The prison has three floors, and you go down a smooth corridor, the first of which is where ordinary prisoners are kept.

Cui Xianchun naturally couldn't be locked up here, Gu Yuan had been to the first layer when he interrogated Huang Huai before.

This is also the place where the edict is most like a general prison, because the lower two floors cannot be called a prison, but hell.

Gu Yuan followed Lu Ran to the third floor, and in the gloomy Tianzi cell, he saw Cui Xianchun, who was covered with scars and slightly frosty sideburns.

He seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, and his eyebrows were full of exhaustion and vicissitudes.

In Gu Yuan's eyes, he only felt that Cui Xianchun deserved it.

Cui Xianchun raised his eyes and saw that it was Gu Yuan who came, but he was not very surprised: "Dare to ask Lord Gu who came to interrogate me on whose order?" Is it the emperor's edict or the eldest princess's edict? ”

Gu Yuan simply took out the token neatly and shook it in front of his eyes: "On the emperor's order, the Qin prisoner Cui Xianchun will be interrogated." ”

Cui Xianchun was a little panicked when he saw the token of "Ru I came in person", "How can you have this token?" Could it be ......"

Gu Yuan smiled lightly: "Lord Cui, why don't you ask the emperor, where did this token come from?" ”

Cui Xianchun's eyelids raised slightly: "The things given by the emperor, how dare the criminal minister ask." ”

"This official came by order, just to ask Lord Cui two things, after asking, Lord Cui can slowly refine your elixir of immortality in the edict."

Cui Xianchun was stunned, how could he even know about this?

"Just ask." He quickly regained his composure.

"In the twenty-seventh year of Zhenyuan, the Japanese invaded Fujian and Zhejiang, and you were ordered to supervise the southeast, but you privately negotiated peace with the Japanese invaders, and then designed and framed Fang Yixie, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Lu Xu, the governor of Zhejiang, and Lin Yushu, the commander of the Dingyuan ship and the chief soldier of Taizhou, so that my Jokhang army was defeated in Taizhou, and 30,000 soldiers were buried in the battlefield, but is there such a thing?"

Cui Xianchun's eyes were dark: "Fang Yixie...... I said, how can Fang Congzhe be used for you. There are both human and material evidence, and I will not deny it. There is indeed something wrong with the coward, and all parties are guilty, and the blame lies with me, Cui Dejing. ”

Gu Yuan sneered: "So far, even those people who protect you have abandoned you like a shoe, who are you still trying to protect?" ”

Cui Xianchun didn't buy it: "What else do you want to ask?" ”

"Empress Hyohyun's ...... Death. ”

——

In the twentieth year of Zhenyuan, midwinter.

In the majestic imperial city, the dark clouds that permeated everyone's hearts have not dispersed for a long time.

Queen Su Qimo is already seriously ill, and according to the statement given by the Tai Hospital, the queen is afraid that she will not be able to survive this winter.

Emperor Zhenyuan Shen Yuan was obsessed with cultivation and alchemy, and his body and bones were already worse than a year, and now the queen is seriously ill, the prince is young, and the lord is suspicious.

At the same time that the storm in Yandu City suddenly set off, those ministers who followed Shen Yuan to fight in the south and north also had their own plans.

When Shen Yuan successfully claimed the emperor and established the Jokhang Dynasty, he also relied on the support of the big clans, otherwise, how could a young man with no background build a new dynasty from scratch?

That year, he was only twenty-five years old, and he was in his prime, and he could suppress his powerful ministers.

But now that he is getting older, he is becoming more and more powerless.

Since the twelfth year of Zhenyuan, he began to take the pills offered by Fang Shijin, but the legendary elixir of immortality consumed his body instead, and he was temporarily blind from eating.

Afterwards, he drove the Fang Shi who gave him medicine out of the capital, and within half a year, he was hit with the pill again.

As soon as Xiao Nanting and Empress Su combined, they found Shen Zhixi, and the three of them simply didn't do anything, and proposed to Shen Yuan that Fang Shi test the medicine and confirm that it was non-toxic before giving it to the emperor.

As soon as Shen Yuan heard it, he knew that it was the ghost idea of the two queens who had taken him out, so he tossed it with them.

This trick worked very well, and many Fang Shi were sent to see Taishang Laojun in this way.

Those Taoist priests didn't know that this idea had a lot to do with Shen Zhixi, but they thought that this matter was promoted by Queen Su, so they went to Cui Xianchun.

Su Qimo was born in the Fufeng Su family, and has always been at odds with the Cui family in Qinghe, Cui Xianchun also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the influence of the Su family, and he will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"So you poisoned Empress Hyohyun?" Gu Yuan's eyes turned cold.

Cui Xianchun sneered: "Huh...... How can you and I find out about these palace secrets? I didn't want to attack the queen mother at first, but I just sent someone to tie up a maid next to the queen mother. ”

"The ones who really did it were the kings of Qi and Chu. If something happens to the emperor, the queen will also die, and the crown prince will not be able to ascend the throne smoothly, so he can only pass the throne to them according to the ancestral system of brother and brother. Cui Xianchun said slowly, "So you can guess that I was involved in this matter, but you can't guess the person who is behind the scenes and controls the overall situation, it's just that someone doesn't want you to know." ”

Gu Yuan hid the murderous intent in his eyes and continued to interrogate him, "Naturally, this matter can't be spread outside, if it gets out, where will the royal family's face go?" So...... The emperor knows about this? ”

"If the old man knew about this, it would be difficult for the King of Qi and the King of Chu to say, but my dog life must be taken." Cui Xianchun was shackled and approached Gu Yuan step by step, "But now that Lao Tzu's life is in your hands, it doesn't matter...... You can guess what happens next. ”

Gu Yuan pulled out a dagger from his waist and pressed it against his neck, "Since you dare to do this, you must have considered the end of doing this." ”

Cui Xianchun roared: "Come on! Kill me! ”

"Don't think I won't dare to kill you!" Gu Yuan thrust the dagger into Cui Xianchun's shoulder, and the latter spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted.

Gu Yuan pulled out the dagger, took a handkerchief and wiped the blood on it little by little, as well as the blood splashed on his body.

"Your blood is dirty, it's best not to let me get a little bit of it." Gu Yuan said coldly, "Let me ask you again, how did Empress Xiaoxian die?" ”

Cui Xianchun laughed: "How did you die? Poisoned! The king of Chu bought off the eunuchs in the palace and poisoned her food, but it was only a chronic poison, which made her suffer the pain of bone erosion day and night! The king of Chu is also dead, and I am not far from death! The world is in chaos, and the country will not be a country! ”

Gu Yuan's eyes were cold, and he quietly listened to him talking crazy inside. When he said "The world is in chaos, and the country will not be a country", Gu Yuan couldn't have the patience to listen anymore, and waved his hand to order Jinyiwei to be punished.

Lu Ran was waiting for Gu Yuan outside, listening to Cui Xianchun's screams endlessly, and he only felt that this person deserved it.

He wanted to go in at once and whip him a few more times.

But so what?

His father, who was loyal to his country, couldn't even find his whole body in the end.

What's even more tragic is that he did not die at the hands of the Japanese Invaders, but died from the plot of his own people.

After disposing of Cui Xianchun, Gu Yuan and Lu Ran left the edict.

At the time of the lantern, a petite and delicate figure took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak into the edict.

Just in time for the Jinyi guard to change the guard, and the edict prison is too dark, there is no obstacle for a captain like her who goes to the tomb all the year round.

When she came to Cui Xianchun's cell, the woman lifted her cloak, and her cold voice made people feel like they were in hell: "Does Master Cui still recognize me?" ”

The scarred Cui Xianchun was stunned for a moment, "Why are you?" What are you here to do? ”

"Naturally, I'm here to send you on your way." The woman's voice was dyed with a grim smile, "Is Master Cui surprised?" ”

Cui Xianchun sneered: "At this time, you don't want to call me Dad." ”

"What about you? Do you deserve me to call you Daddy? The woman in the robe said in a fierce voice, "My mother came from a humble background, and she had no choice but to recognize the old patriarch of the Baili family as her father-in-law, where were you at that time?" ”

Baili Tassel, who has already revealed his identity, does not intend to hide it anymore, "Where were you when my mother and I were bullied in Baili's house?" When I was forced to sing in Luoyin Building, where were you? When my mother sold herself in the kiln and was humiliated by so many hooligans, where were you, Cui Xianchun? ”

Cui Xianchun heard some clues, "You're not her!" Who are you? ”

"Then I'll let you die." She smiled sadly, "My name is Bai Lu. I am her, she is me, I am two very different souls from her, or you can take it for granted that I am a ghost. ”

Tearing off the disguise of the hundred miles of tassels, Bai Lu smiled coldly, "Congratulations to Master Cui on the road." ”

Cui Xianchun trembled and took out a small pill bottle from his sleeve and took the only pill left in his mouth.

It's not bitter at all.

In Tanzhe Temple, Mrs. Yao knocked on the wooden fish in a hurry, but after a moment, he threw the wooden mallet, and there was depression in his eyes that could not be hidden.

"As soon as Cui Xianchun dies, the world will be in chaos!"

The old man laughed more than ever.

"Cui Xianchun is immortal, how can Chu Shizi come to live?"
