The days when I skipped school and opened a restaurant in ancient times

Yo Yo Valley is very lively, young people gather together, some make snowmen, have snowball fights, some make snow lanterns, and make snow rabbits.

Lu Yunnan, Chi Muhan and the others wore shoes specially designed for ice play, and prepared to skate.

"Zhizhi, you don't know how to skate, hold on to me then!" Xu Shuyu said to Lu Yunnan with a smile.

Looking at Xu Shuyu's familiar but unfamiliar face, Lu Yunnan was in a daze for a while.

"No need." Gu Chao appeared behind Lu Yunnan, with his arms on his shoulders, "I'm here."

Xu Shuyu knew that he would not be able to convince Gu Chao, so he turned and left.Not far away, Chi Muhan pulled him over, and said with a smile, "Why don't you give up? With Gu Chao around, no one can get close to Yun Nan."

Lu Yunnan listened to his friend complaining, all he could think about was Gu Chao's arm on his shoulder.His body was stiff and he dared not move.

Gu Chao didn't know that Lu Yunnan did this because of himself, he thought it was Xu Shuyu's appearance that made Lu Yunnan so uncomfortable.

In order to prevent Xu Shuyu from coming again, Lu Yunnan couldn't help showing his secrets, so he took Lu Yunnan's hand and left.

Both of them were wearing plush gloves, halfway through the walk, Lu Yunnan's reflex arc realized that the two were holding hands.His whole brain was screaming, "Gu Chao is holding my hand?!"

Lu Yunnan stopped in his tracks and pulled his hands out.

Gu Chao seemed to have sensed it, and the moment Lu Yunnan pulled it out, he held it firmly.

"Zhizhi, do you remember that you told me before that you want to teach me how to pinch a snow rabbit?" Gu Chao looked at Lu Yunnan intently and asked, "There is no snow lantern in the Jinyang Palace, and you will still carve snow with me?" lights?"

Lu Yunnan recalled the promise he made to Gu Chao in the snow.

He wanted to say that he forgot.

[Please, don't refuse. 】

Lu Yunnan lowered his head, resisted not looking at each other for so many days, why did he look into Gu Chao's eyes just now.

"meeting."

Lu Yunnan's voice was muffled, and then he said a little louder: "Gu Chao, I haven't forgotten."

"After you go back, you can teach me alone, okay?"

Lu Yunnan felt that Gu Chao was a bit pushy, but he himself was very useless.Because he never thought of refusing, Lu Yunnan nodded, "Okay."

Gu Chao was very happy, he stared at Lu Yunnan's face, and smiled with the corners of his mouth bent.

Gu Yunlan, who was not far away, saw this scene and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

At this moment, he completely understood how much Gu Chao liked Lu Yunnan.

But no matter how you look at this scene, Luohua is intentional and ruthless, and Gu Chao is an unrequited love.

Gu Yunlan only hoped that Lu Yunnan also had intentions for Gu Chao in the end, otherwise his younger brother would definitely tear down the family like a mad dog.

Howling all day long, he has no intention of living.

There is a long queue lined up on the ice, and the one at the front is a master of ice play.Behind him is a group of children from aristocratic families, like swimming dragons.

Lu Yunnan and Gu Chao are at the end, Lu Yunnan is in front and Gu Chao is behind to protect him.

After swimming around for a while, Lu Yunnan still couldn't get enough of it.

After the heat, many ministers also changed their shoes to go skating.A lot of people fell, but fortunately, the protective measures were done well, and no injuries were really caused by the fall.

Yoyo Valley, which was originally lively and lively, became quiet because of Gu Yunlan's words that he wanted to skate.

A group of people surrounded Gu Yunlan to persuade him, what danger, what kind of golden body, can't get hurt...

The courtiers tried their best to persuade Gu Yunlan to give up, but Gu Yunlan didn't listen at all, and remained stubborn.

Seeing that they did not listen to any persuasion, they had to take a step back.

In the end, Gu Yunlan wore twice the amount of protection and stepped onto the ice as he wished.

What does it mean that the sky fails to fulfill one's wishes, and what is feared will come, and it is now.

When Gu Yunlan slid to the center of the lake, the ice cracked.

He fell directly along the hole, and the cotton protective gear he wore to prevent falls would become a fatal thing.

The protective gear has absorbed water, so it is too heavy.

Gu Yunlan couldn't even swim upstream.The surroundings were even more chaotic, and they dug ice to save him.

The doctors from the imperial hospital were also waiting at the side. It was a cold day, and a group of old imperial doctors were all covered in cold sweat.

When Gu Yunlan was rescued, she had already held her breath.

Tai Hospital had seen how Lu Yunnan rescued Gu Chao before, and they had studied it carefully after they returned.It was found that the method of breathing is very effective for drowning, but they also have their own way to make the drowning person choke out the water.

Sun Yuanpan took out the silver needle, groped for the acupoint, and pierced it neatly.After spinning a few times, Gu Yunlan's face slowly turned red and soon he spit out water.

"Your Majesty! You're awake!" The courtiers swarmed up, and the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital shouted for a long time not to gather, but to have fresh air, which prevented them from getting closer.

This winter outing also ended when Gu Yunlan fell into the water. After returning to the palace, Sun Yuansentence stayed in the palace all night.

Just when everyone thought there was nothing wrong, Gu Yunlan said nothing.

The first minister still didn't think much of it, but after a few days of dismissal, everyone realized something was wrong.

And Jinyang Prince's Mansion and Right Prime Minister's Mansion also closed their doors to thank guests at some unknown time.

Sun Yuanju has never been out of the palace since he returned to the palace that day.

The Sun Mansion was also empty.

Only then did everyone feel that something was wrong. After investigation by various forces, they found that everyone in the Sun Mansion had been taken into the palace.

King Jinyang is also in the palace.

It is said that there is no family affection in front of the imperial power.

Brothers with one mother and one sibling, one went smoothly and eventually became the emperor.The other mother died shortly after birth, and was taken to the palace by the empress dowager not long after she was under the empress dowager's hands.

It's ten years away.

After he came back, his elder brother didn't even give him a fief, he locked him in Ningjing City and didn't let him go out.

If King Jinyang doesn't rebel, who will rebel?

"Ma'am, your lord has delivered the letter."

Nanny Chang handed Shen Ge's letter to Queen Mother Shen.

After Shen Shu read the letter, she fell into deep thought.

At first, when Empress Dowager Shen heard rumors that Gu Chao and Lu Youxiang were going to rebel, she just laughed it off.

These two brothers are like wearing a pair of trousers, Gu Chao's rebellion is simply nonsense.

But with the passage of time, coupled with the help letter from her father, Shen Shu had to think about whether she was wrong.

"Nurse Chang, you said that Gu Chao wanted to rebel, how true is this?"

Mother Chang thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, if you ask this, it means that you already have the answer in your heart. There were rumors all over the place before, and you never thought that Gu Chao would rebel."

Shen Shu smiled and said: "This letter written by my good father to me is to ask me to help choose a clan disciple who can be controlled, and adopt my niece as my son. Gu Yunlan is going to die Is it so eager to have a son to compete with that little bastard for power."

"Sun Yuanju has not left the palace yet?" Shen Shu thought of Sun Taiyi who had been guarding in the palace.

Nanny Chang shook her head, "Let's not say that she went out of the palace gate, she has never been out of the palace gate."

Shen Shu didn't speak any more, she just wanted to watch the fire from the other side, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.Today, if I don't act anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp the initiative.

"Accompany me to see the emperor."

But Queen Mother Shen did not see Gu Yunlan in the end.

The palace where Gu Yunlan lived was guarded layer by layer, and no one except Gu Chao could enter.

Shen Shu didn't want to force her way at first, but just wanted to see what was going on, and let herself know what was going on.

"Let's go and find my niece."

When Empress Dowager Shen and Nanny Chang came, Ruan Ling was sitting on the couch and weeping.

"Auntie!!! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" Xu Shi was terrified for many days, the moment she saw Queen Mother Shen, Ruan Ling no longer wept softly, but burst into tears.

She hugged the Empress Dowager Shen's waist, and said in fear: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.miry.yours.

"Lingling, don't cry yet." Shen Shu pulled Ruan Ling up, smiling kindly and gently, "Didn't the emperor just fall into the lake to catch the cold, why is life and death involved?"

Shen Shu pretended to comfort her and said: "The two brothers have been in love since they were young. Even if the little one did something wrong, you, as a sister-in-law, can't say that. Isn't this clearly saying that Gu Chao wants to kill the king?"

Ruan Ling was so out of breath from crying that she couldn't even speak.Shen Shu waited patiently until Ruan Ling calmed down a little, and cried in a hoarse voice: "It's not my aunt. You don't know, woo woo woo, that Gu Chao is not human! He is just a heartless monster!"

"As you said, His Majesty treated him very well. But after all, we have been separated since we were young, and we haven't seen each other for ten years. He is a careless person, and he can't see how His Majesty treats him well. He can only see what His Majesty has. Something he doesn't have." When Ruan Ling thought of Gu Yunlan's appearance on the sick bed, her heart ached, "If the Lu family threw an olive branch, he couldn't wait to pick it up."

Ruan Ling tightly grasped the Empress Dowager Shen's wrist, and said in horror: "Auntie, I suspect that Your Majesty did not catch a serious illness from drowning. He was poisoned by that Gu Chao!"

Shen Shu frowned and asked, "Poisoning? This matter is of great importance, and it's not something you can talk nonsense about."

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Ruan Ling insisted on her thoughts, "I sneaked in to see His Majesty that day, and saw that his face was dark and his lips were purple. He was sweating coldly, and there was no waiter around him. The Sun Court judged He was imprisoned somewhere in the palace by Gu Chao, and he was not allowed to save His Majesty, just to hang His Majesty's life."

"I just went to see His Majesty, but the guards over there are heavily guarded. I didn't expect that when you have such skills, you can escape the eyes of the forbidden army?" Shen Shu asked.

Ruan Ling sighed leisurely, and blamed herself a little, "Since I sneaked in that time, Gu Chao has sent a lot of extra manpower. He is using the Tiger Talisman to mobilize troops, who dare not listen to him?"

"According to what you said, Gu Chao got the Tiger Talisman." Shen Shu stared at Ruan Ling, and asked, "Then what leverage do you have, adopting the sons of the clan to compete with Gu Chao?"

Ruan Ling's expression was a little unnatural, avoiding Shen Shu's sight, "Naturally, it is His Majesty's imperial edict to allow the adoptive clan's children."

"Just now you said that the emperor seemed to be poisoned, and that Gu Chao did not hesitate to use tiger charms to mobilize troops to trap the emperor and prevent him from leaving the palace, let alone entering the palace." What about your edict?"

"Or, Yuxi is with you?"

Shen Shu's gaze was like a torch, and Ruan Ling's back felt cold when she saw it.She bit the bullet and said: "Why is Yuxi here with me, my aunt is joking."

"Gu Chao can even find the tiger amulet. If the jade seal was with the emperor, the emperor would have passed away by now. Where would there be a chance of lingering sickness?" Shen Shu stroked Ruan Ling's face, looking at herself as innocent as ever "Lingling, tell auntie, is Yuxi with you? If you lie, auntie doesn't know how to help you later."

Ruan Ling fell into deep thought, and in desperation, she nodded gently.

"Your Majesty told me last time, but Yuxi is not with me now. I dare not go in a secret room. I am afraid that Gu Chao will send someone to watch me secretly..."

Shen Shu smiled softly: "Lingling did the right thing, be careful when sailing forever."

She was coaxing, "Auntie can help you. Tell Auntie where it is, and Auntie will fetch it for you, okay?"

Ruan Ling looked at Empress Dowager Shen, as if she had come out of a desperate situation, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Are you serious about what Auntie said?"

But then her eyes dimmed again, and she said helplessly, "No way, you have been here before, Auntie. Gu Chao will definitely have someone keep an eye on you, and it is impossible for him to let go of any clues."

If you say what Shen Shu is afraid of, maybe Shen Shu can't tell.But if she is not afraid of anything, the one she is least afraid of is Gu Chao.

It's just a gadget played by her between applause, no matter how fierce it is?

His fangs were pulled out, his limbs were cut off, and he was imprisoned in a cage. No matter how hard he was, he couldn't make any waves.

"Auntie has plenty of ways to deal with Gu Chao, Lingling, don't you believe what Auntie said?"

Ruan Ling didn't know how Empress Dowager Shen could deal with Gu Chao, but now she had no other way but to be a dead horse doctor.

"Okay, I'll tell my aunt."

After Shen Shu got the exact location, she left Ruan Ling's place.Before leaving, Ruan Ling watched him off with a look of trust.

"Let that brat from the Xu family find a way to make Lu Yunnan dizzy." Shen Shu told Nanny Chang, "You get someone to help you, and you must make Lu Yunnan appear in front of Bengong before tonight."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Xu Shuyu received the order from Queen Mother Shen, he bluntly refused.

The Empress Dowager Shen had already expected that Xu Shuyu would not agree easily, so she asked the messenger to say: "The empress dowager said, if Mr. Xu refuses, I will remind Mr. Xu. Mr. Lu who was ruined by you drugging, and you Can be a living mother and your twin brother."

"Mr. Xu, those who know current affairs are heroes. The moment you drugged Mr. Lu, the Lu family and you had already formed hatred. If the young master of the Lu family knew the truth, it would be even more impossible for him to have any further relations with you." Involvement. If you still think about brotherhood, stop thinking about it as soon as possible. If a person like you really cared about it, he would not have acted in the first place. Now don’t set up a memorial archway, and make yourself so serious about love and righteousness. "

Xu Shuyu sneered and said, "The Empress Dowager really hits the nail on the head, so I'll do as I wish."

"Young Master Xu should have said that earlier."

The messenger drugged Xu Shuyu and left.

Xu Shuyu stared at the medicine bag in his hand in a daze, and what Empress Dowager Shen said was correct.A person like him, what kind of friendship is he still trying to talk about now?From beginning to end, he was not qualified, he was not worthy.

"elder brother."

Xu Shuyuan came out from behind the rockery, and Xu Shuyu quickly hid the medicine bag in his hand.

"Don't hide it, I've seen it all." Xu Shuyuan gritted his teeth and advised, "Can't you let him go?"

Xu Shuyu, who was still hesitant at first, suddenly became firmer after hearing this sentence.

"Then who will let us go?" Xu Shuyu was a little unwilling, "Lu knows that there is a Lu family with a noble background. Father loves mother, brother and sister take care of us, and the family is harmonious. Even Gu Chao doesn't take anyone seriously. All the princes hold Lu Zhi in their palms, and are reluctant to let him suffer a little harm."

"He is a proud son of heaven, does he need someone like me to let him go?"

Xu Shuyuan felt that Xu Shuyu was crazy, "He has never been sorry to us... If it weren't for him, we wouldn't even be able to go to school. It was after meeting Lu Zhi that Dad saw us with his eyes. In the past, even the servants didn't Put us in your eyes, brother, have you forgotten? It was Lu Zhi who made us live like individuals..."

"The current situation is unstable. If you really send Lu Zhi into the palace today, he will be in danger."

"Why do you accuse me? If you really regarded Lu Zhi as a friend, you would have told him the truth. After so many days, who can stop you? You don't do me any favors except to lower your face when I get close to Lu Zhi Did you do anything other than look at your face?" Xu Shuyuan sneered, "Whatever, we are twins. We have always been the same."

Xu Shuyu left, and Xu Shuyuan stood alone.

He covered his ears, trying to drive away Xu Shuyu's voice, and broke down emotionally.

Even if Xu Shuyuan didn't want to admit it, he couldn't change the fact that they were the same.

He really never thought of telling Lu Zhi the truth, he has no qualifications to talk about Xu Shuyu.

Xu Shuyuan felt that he was disgusting. While silently asking Xu Shuyu to hurt Lu Zhi, on the other hand, he still wanted Lu Zhi to continue to be friends with him.

Even at this moment, he didn't want to run to tell Lu Zhi not to see Xu Shuyu.

-

Xu Shuyu knew that now Lu Yunnan lived in the Jinyang Palace, and the palace was heavily guarded, not to mention that these days, Gu Chao regarded Lu Yunnan as his property and did not let anyone approach him.

After much deliberation, if he wanted to get close to Lu Yunnan as soon as possible, he could only use bitter tricks.

Xu Shuyu went to the dark market and found someone to injure her all over.He ran weakly to Jinyang Palace, and fell at the door.

The guard at the door stepped forward to check, Xu Shuyu said weakly: "I am a good friend of Young Master Lu, please help me pass it on, I have something to do with him."

After speaking, he passed out.

When the guards heard that they were Lu Yunnan's friends, they naturally didn't dare to neglect him.This person is indeed very particular about his clothes, there is no reason to drag his injuries to fake it.One person was sent in to communicate, and Zhuzhi and Xinglin followed soon after.

Seeing Xu Shuyu unconscious on the ground, he quickly called for help and carried Xu Shuyu into the courtyard where Lu Yunnan lived.

When Xu Shuyu woke up, Zhuzhi came in with the boiled medicine.

Seeing that the person opened his eyes, he shouted in surprise: "Young master! Mr. Xu is awake!"

After shouting, Xu Shuyu saw Lu Yunnan walking towards him from behind the screen.Xu Shuyu finally saw this familiar and gentle face again, and he weakly shouted: "I know."

Lu Yunnan gave a "hmm", stepped forward, and helped Xu Shuyu to sit up.

"What's the matter with your injury?"

Lu Yunnan took the medicine in Zhu Zhi's hand, and took a spoonful.Put it near your mouth and blow it, then handed it to Xu Shuyu's mouth.

Xu Shuyu lowered his head and drank the medicine juice at the right temperature. The medicine was a bit bitter, and he kept frowning while drinking it, "My father beat it."

"Your father hit you again? Sui Sui?"

Xu Shuyu was holding the medicine, and the fingertips holding the porcelain spoon turned white from exertion.

"Zhizhi, can you save us?" Xu Shuyu pulled Lu Yunnan's hand, some of the medicine splashed and landed on the back of Lu Yunnan's hand.

Xu Shuyu didn't see it, but just kept pulling Lu Yunnan, begging: "I escaped, and I was beaten in the mansion and couldn't move. I can't ask the doctor to show him. I know you and I will go." Go to Xu Mansion and rescue Sui Sui, okay?"

Lu Yunnan felt the scorching heat on the back of his hand slowly cool down, he looked at Xu Shuyu and asked, "How can I save him?"

Xu Shuyu seemed to be grabbing at straws, "As long as you show up in Xu's residence, you don't have to do anything to save him."

"Okay, you drink the medicine, and I'll take you back to the Xu Mansion."

Lu Yunnan sent the medicine forward, Xu Shuyu took the medicine bowl and was about to drink it.Lu Yunnan covered the hot spot on the back of his hand, and reminded: "The medicine has just been decocted, and it hasn't been left for long, so be careful of getting hot."

After leaving the door, Gu Chao was waiting outside.

"What did he say?"

Lu Yunnan replied: "Let him and I go to Xu's mansion to save Xu Shuyuan."

Gu Chao frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart, "You don't have to put yourself in danger, I can solve these things by myself."

"It's okay, no matter what, I know you will protect me." Lu Yunnan smiled and comforted Gu Chao, "I believe in you."

Gu Chao nodded, but saw a red patch on the back of Lu Yunnan's hand, he took Lu Yunnan's hand, "What's going on?"

Lu Yunnan wanted to pull back his hand, but Gu Chao was too strong, so he gave up, and said indifferently: "The medicine is hot, it's okay, and it doesn't hurt. It's just that looking at Hong is scary."

"follow me."

Gu Chao pulled Lu Yunnan to apply medicine to the back of his hand, and said during the period: "Don't go..."

"You will solve it." Lu Yunnan hurriedly replied: "I know, but I have already promised Xu Shuyu. Now the matter is at a critical juncture, and we can't fail because of me. I will be fine, trust me."

Gu Chao is persistent, and Lu Yunnan is also very persistent.In the end, Gu Chao's persistence still lost to Lu Yunnan, "I will always be by your side, don't be afraid."

Lu Yunnan smiled and nodded, "I know."

After Xu Shuyu finished drinking the medicine, he changed his clothes again.The palace prepared a carriage, and we went to Xu's mansion together.

The winter nights are short and cold, and as night falls, there are no people on the street.

The carriage galloped, all the way unimpeded.

In the car sat Lu Yunnan, Zhuzhi and Xu Shuyu.

Halfway through the walk, there was the sound of fighting outside, and when Lu Yunnan was about to open the window to check, Xu Shuyu raised his hand and shook out the medicine powder in his hand.

He covered his mouth and nose early on, and Lu Yunnan and Zhu Zhi in the car were drugged and passed out.

The bodyguards and coachmen sent by Gu Chao to follow Lu Yunnan were also eliminated, the carriage changed its previously established direction and turned to the palace.

Not long after Lu Yunnan was carried into Shen Shu's hall with his hands and feet bound, the person Shen Shu sent out to get the jade seal also came back.

The emerald green is transparent, and it is heavy in the hand.

Shen Shu looked carefully at the jade seal in her hand, feeling a little funny.

Throughout the ages, for such a thing, there are not a few people who risk their lives to fight for fame and fortune.

Now it just fell into his own hands.

"Young Master Xu, you have completed the tasks you have ordered this time very well." Shen Shu looked at Xu Shuyu who was standing silently at the side, and suggested: "Your father's position, can you see it?"

Xu Shuyu looked up, very self-aware.

"No matter what, he is still a minister. I am so old, how can I climb so high. Thanks to the kindness of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that I will fall to my death."

Regarding Xu Shuyu's refusal, Empress Dowager Shen smiled instead of being annoyed, "It was originally promised to you, the entire Xu family will give it to you. Today's matter was done beautifully. Since I said it, I naturally have a way to make this promise come true in advance."

Xu Shuyu's eyes fell on the jade seal not far away, and he knew in his heart that there were only two possibilities for the Empress Dowager Shen not to shy away from herself.

One is to treat him as one of his own, and the other is to treat him as a dead person.

Those who follow her live, those who oppose her die.Whether to live or die, depends on how he chooses.

"Shuyu is willing to follow the queen mother through thick and thin, and will not hesitate to do so."

The drug's effect had passed, and the first thing Lu Yunnan heard after he regained consciousness was that Xu Shuyu expressed his loyalty to Queen Mother Shen.

"Really." Empress Dowager Shen cast her eyes on Lu Yunnan, and asked with great interest: "Lu Zhi, your friend is determined, what about you?"

Xu Shuyu's back was stiff, and he didn't dare to look back at Lu Yunnan for a moment.

He knew that he would be exposed this time, and Lu Yunnan would have an indelible hatred for him.But when he really got to this point, Xu Shuyu realized that all the psychological preparations he had made before had been reduced to ashes.

Nervous, uneasy, and even a rare trace of guilt.

But he didn't regret it, everything he did was for his mother and brother.

He can't regret it.
