Lord, your grass jelly has slipped away again [Transmigration Book]

Before Ye Zi finished his meal, news suddenly came from outside the palace, saying that the queen mother had arrived at the palace, and the attendants came to ask Ye Zi if she would go outside the palace to meet her.

Ye Zi took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then said calmly, "No."

Gu Yan deliberately publicized the news of their intercourse. After a night of tenderness, Gu Yan went out early in the morning to pick up Princess Changning.

If Ye Zi ran out of the palace to greet her now, it would be too heartless.

Ye Zi asked the servant girl to spread the word, saying that he was unwell, unable to get out of bed, and unable to meet him outside the palace.He also asked the maid to make his situation more serious, and told Gu Yan to come back to see him as soon as possible after finishing the matter at hand.

After making arrangements, Ye Zi withdrew the servants in the dormitory, returned to his original form, and jumped into the flowerpot to plant himself.

The Xinggong is no better than the Ruiwang Mansion. The soil is just dug randomly from the back hill near the Xinggong Palace. It is completely different from the fertile soil in the Ruiwangfu that has been carefully sprinkled with flowers and fertilizers.Ye Zi didn't think she was picky at first, until she slept in the soil in the middle of the night and couldn't bear it anymore and sneaked onto Gu Yan's bed, only then did she realize that she had been spoiled by Gu Yan unconsciously.

Ye Zi is not at all like the fairy monsters in the rumors. Apart from transforming into a human form, he doesn't know spells, and no one has taught him how to cultivate.The only thing he knows is that if he stays in the soil, his strength will recover faster.

The soil that is not fertile enough is better than nothing for Ye Zi, he squatted in the flower pot bored, waiting for Gu Yan to come to see him.But he waited and waited for almost an hour, but there was still no sign of Gu Yan.

Ye Ziye curled up, feeling a little unhappy.

In the morning he could still convince himself that the man was ordered by the Queen Mother and couldn't leave him.But the people over there have picked them up, so they still can’t leave?

What's more, he also deliberately sent someone to say that he was unwell.

Is it so difficult to come to see him?

Fortunately, when the man coaxed him to do it for him last night, he still looked so gentle as water.

Sure enough, what the man said on the bed was unbelievable.

Ye Zi jumped out of the flowerpot, flung the dirt all over the ground to vent his anger, and jumped out of the bedroom through the window.If the mountain is not just me, I will be the mountain. If the person does not come to him, he will find someone by himself.

He is not grass without legs.

Due to the arrival of the queen mother, the guards in the palace were several times stricter than before.Ye Zi avoided the guards, and had just passed through the corridor when he heard chatter and laughter.The queen mother is taking a group of royal family members to enjoy the flowers in the gazebo not far away.

This season is when all the flowers are in full bloom, and the flowers and plants in the garden are lush and pleasing to the eye.Ye Zi took advantage of flowers and plants to hide, and quietly approached the Huxin Pavilion.

There were not many people who came to the palace together, apart from the queen mother, empress and a few favorite concubines, there were only a few wives of important officials in the court, and there were not many who were the same age as Gu Yan.

Ye Zi saw Gu Yan in the crowd at a glance.

He was standing beside the queen mother, with a calm expression, and the queen mother was turning her head and saying something to him.

Ye Zi walked a little further, and heard the Queen Mother's words: "...I haven't been to this palace for many years, and now it seems that it is really far from what I remember."

The Queen said: "What the Empress Dowager said is that since the palace was flooded a year ago, Your Majesty has renovated most of it. Naturally, it is different from the original one."

This palace was built during the reign of the first emperor. A few years after his death, this palace suddenly encountered a fire.The fire burned most of the palace, and many eunuchs and court ladies were killed or injured. Therefore, in the years after the fire, rumors of ghosts often spread here.

It wasn't until the last few years that Emperor Jinghe sent people to renovate the palace and asked many Taoist priests to do it, so that the evil spirits in it were suppressed.

Thinking of the past, the Empress Dowager's expression darkened a bit: "I still remember that the late emperor and I often brought Yan'er here. He liked to come here when he was young, and he didn't want to leave when he came. He even had a temper tantrum with the late emperor."

"Yan'er, do you still remember?"

Gu Yan was leaning over to add tea to the Queen Mother, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of familiar green flashing across the flowers and plants.

He suppressed the smile in his eyes, and replied in a low voice: "I remember."

"Speaking of which, Zhi'er seems to be here for the first time?" The queen looked back at the woman standing behind her, "Zhi'er?"

Wen Zhi seemed to be more haggard than the previous two days, looking devastated.The queen called her for a while before she came back to her senses: "Yes, aunt."

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the queen's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

She smiled and said: "This palace is so big, since King Rui is familiar with it, how about I trouble you to accompany Zhi'er around?"

Gu Yan paused, and said obediently, "Yes."

Gu Yan accompanied Wen Zhi to the garden.

It can be said that he knows this palace garden like the back of his hand, and explained to Wen Zhi carefully all the way. He is thoughtful and appropriate, and he can't find any faults.On the contrary, Wen Zhi seemed out of his mind, except for a few words to answer occasionally, most of the time he just stared into the distance in a daze.

The two played for a while, and sat down to have a rest in the lake pavilion in the lake behind the palace.

Ye Zi followed.

Wen Zhi turned her head and gave some instructions to the maid beside her, who responded and left the Huxin Pavilion.

Gu Yan sat down at the stone table and poured two cups of tea with his own hands: "Chang Ning, come in, your place is very dangerous."

Wen Zhi stood on the edge of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, looked at the wide lake in the distance, and smiled softly: "Is it dangerous? I think it's safer this way."

Gu Yan stroked the rim of the cup with his finger: "What the princess said, is it possible that you still think that this king will do something to you?"

"No, it has nothing to do with you." Wen Zhi looked back at him, "Your Highness, you are a good person, and I envy you very much."

She said softly: "Sometimes I think, if I had been born a man, maybe I wouldn't have come to where I am today. It's just a pity..."

Gu Yan lowered his eyes and didn't reply.

Ye Zi hid in the dark, looked at Wen Zhi's thin back, and couldn't help but sigh.

There are not many descriptions of the Princess Changning in the book, but Ye Zi vaguely knows that her heart is not bad.

Wen Zhigui is the princess, although her appearance is not overwhelming, she is also a well-known beauty.It's a pity that she was born in Duke Protector's Mansion, so she was destined to face many things beyond her control.

For example, she clearly has no feelings for Gu Yan, but she has to follow the orders of her father and aunt to approach him.

Ye Zi remembered that not long after Gu Yan resigned the marriage, Princess Changning fell into the water and died.

Thinking of this, Ye Zi suddenly froze for a moment.

He didn't know exactly when Princess Changning fell into the water and died.

According to the timeline in his memory, Gu Yan sent pictures of the people affected by the disaster at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, which offended Emperor Jinghe and was imprisoned by him in Prince Rui's Mansion for three months.During those three months, the palace did not receive any news from the outside world. It was not until Gu Yan lifted the ban that he knew that Princess Changning had passed away.

That being said, isn't that time...

Ye Zi vaguely had some guesses, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a muffled thud from the Huxin Pavilion, like the sound of a heavy object entering the water.

He looked up, just in time to see Wen Zhi being submerged by the current.

Ye Zi's memory finally became clear. He remembered that the place where Wen Zhi fell into the water and died in his memory was indeed this palace.

Soon there was a second muffled sound on the surface of the lake, and the calm lake surface was filled with waves. It was Gu Yan who jumped into the lake.

The eunuchs and maids on the bank who saw this scene suddenly panicked and shouted loudly to go into the water to save people.Everyone was in a hurry, and after a while, Gu Yan and Wen Zhi were rescued by the guards.

The queen mother who was admiring the flowers in the courtyard was startled by this incident, and hurriedly led people over, her face paled: "Why did you fall into the water when you were fine? Are you all right? Are you injured?"

Gu Yan's whole body was completely soaked by the lake water, he hastily put on a fox fur sent by the maid, his face was still pale from the cold.

He shook his head and said in a low voice, "Changning, she..."

Although Wen Zhi was rescued, she fell into a coma and did not wake up for a long time.

The queen is Wen Zhi's aunt, so she is naturally the most worried.She immediately ordered Wen Zhi to be sent to the palace where she lived, and then sent someone to find an imperial physician to treat her.

The Empress Dowager intentionally asked Gu Yan to go to the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment, but Gu Yan shook his head and refused: "I'll go back to take a bath and change clothes by myself, so I don't bother the Empress."

"Alright." The queen mother nodded, and said, "Your wind and cold are just right, remember to ask someone to make some ginger soup, so as not to freeze your body."

Gu Yan nodded in agreement.

After such a big event happened, everyone lost their minds about having fun, and dispersed one after another, returning to their residences.

The lake water in spring was freezing to the bone, Gu Yan was wrapped in fox fur, and felt the chill go straight into the bones.He glanced back at the quiet lake, supported by two attendants, and walked slowly towards the palace where he lived.

Ye Zi slipped away when Gu Yan said he wanted to go back on his own. He quickly returned to the palace where he lived, climbed into the bedroom through the window, changed back into his original shape, changed his clothes, and pushed open the door of the bedroom.

Qiutang and Qiuluo were waiting in the courtyard, when they saw him coming out, they immediately went up to meet him: "What is the princess' order?"

Ye Zi ran all the way in a hurry, his breathing was a little rough, and he said without a word: "Prepare hot water, make ginger soup, go quickly."

Both Qiutang and Qiuluo were taken aback, and just about to ask, a young eunuch rushed in: "Princess, something is wrong, the prince has fallen into the water!"

He paused, and told the two little maidservants: "Hurry up and prepare hot water and clean clothes. The prince wants to take a bath and change clothes! Go!"

The two paled in shock, and then looked at each other again.

The news of the prince falling into the water just came, how did the princess know so quickly?

Ye Zi was afraid that they would ask more questions, so he hurriedly ordered: "I'll make the ginger soup, you guys prepare the hot water first, and wait for the prince to take a bath."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the back kitchen.

Ye Zi crouched in the back kitchen cooking ginger soup, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

It was not a big deal for him to see Princess Changning fall into the water, but the timing was really unfortunate.

Gu Yan had just resigned from his marriage with Princess Changning, and had already had some unpleasant troubles with Duke Huguo's mansion.When the two of them were alone, Wen Zhi suddenly fell into the water, no matter how you looked at it, it was inseparable from Gu Yan.

At that time in Huxin Pavilion, apart from Gu Yan and Wen Zhi, only Ye Zi was the closest.He saw Wen Zhi jump down with his own eyes, but he couldn't prove it.

It would be too easy for the Duke Protector's Mansion to make some fuss about it.

Ye Zi was thinking distractedly, when suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Princess."

It's Begonia.

Ye Zi asked: "What's the matter? Didn't you tell the prince to take a bath?"

Qiu Tang walked in and said in a low voice: "My lord, he won't let others touch him, he said he wants you to serve him in person."

Ye Zi said: "Tell him, I'll come as soon as I make ginger soup."

"I've already said it." Qiutang lowered her head, wondering why, "but the prince said that he won't take a bath if you don't wait on him."

Ye Zi: "..."
