As soon as Gu Yan said this, Ye Zi immediately realized that he had been exposed.He wanted to change back to his original shape without even thinking about it. Gu Yan took the lead in threatening in his ear: "If you dare to change back to your original shape, I will make a small cage and lock you up. Just like in the past, I will only water you every day." Applying fertilizer will make you change even if you want to.”

Ye Zi trembled all over, and looked at him wrongedly: "Why are you like this..."

Gu Yan didn't answer.

A small red mark soon appeared on the bitten area of ​​Ye Zi's neck, Gu Yan lowered his head and licked that small area carefully.Warm breath fell on Ye Zi's neck, he flinched sensitively, begging for mercy in a low voice: "Zi Cheng... I was wrong."

Gu Yan paused, let go of his hand, and hugged him into his arms: "Is this why you are so tired these days, and you are always lethargic?"

Ye Zi was treated honestly by him, she didn't dare to lie to him again, she nodded obediently: "Yeah."

Fearing that Gu Yan would get angry, Ye Zi added: "I recover quickly, as long as I get a good night's sleep, the missing leaves will grow back the next day, there is no problem at all."

Ye Zi was not talking nonsense.

His recovery ability has always been very fast. He used to need to go back to the soil to absorb nutrients, but recently he could feel the strength in his body gradually increasing, no longer relying on soil and water.

As long as you get enough sleep, you won't have any problems.

Gu Yan was noncommittal, touched Ye Zi's hair, and sighed softly: "Idiot, pull off your own leaves, doesn't it hurt you?"

Ye Zi dodged his eyes, and lowered his head guiltyly: "...it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Still lying to me?" Gu Yan frowned slightly, and said mercilessly, "When Er Bao bit you before, why didn't you say that it didn't hurt?"

Ye Zi bit her lip, not daring to answer again.

Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "In short, in the future, I will leave the preparation of the medicine to the servants, and you are not allowed to interfere. Also, if I find out again that you use this kind of method to hurt me to help me... "

He stretched out his hand and squeezed Ye Zi's side gently, and threatened, "I promise you will regret it."

Ye Zi twitched uncomfortably, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, how do you know this?"

Gu Yan felt angry and funny, and said: "I took the dregs of the medicine you boiled today to Pei Ge for inspection, and he said that a kind of herb he had never seen was added to the soup, and only you handled my medicine. However, when it comes to what novel herbs you can find, I can't think of anything else except your little fairy grass."

Ye Zi could be considered to have found a clue, and turned to stare at him: "You don't trust me, and you still ask someone to test the drug residue?"

The blow came unexpectedly, Gu Yan glanced at him: "You have been so lethargic for the past few days, and every time you come back from the medicine for me, you look exhausted and out of spirits, you think I can't stand it What happened? In fact, I have guessed it a long time ago, and I just let people test it, lest you refuse to admit it and say that I have wronged you."

Ye Zi pursed her lips, and retorted in a low voice: "I'm obviously very careful..."

Gu Yan stared at him without saying a word, Ye Zi admitted his cowardice, and hugged him flatteringly: "Zi Cheng, I'm worried about you. Seeing that your health has been bad, I thought I could help you out. I read in the book given to me by Daoist Guangxu that the stems and leaves of the fairy grass can cure all diseases and detoxify all kinds of poisons."

"...I don't know if I have such a great effect, but there will be no problem if I try it. Seeing that you are much better now, I can rest assured. Don't be angry, okay, I won't dare in the future, I promise .”

Gu Yan's expression softened a little, and he said softly: "You, can't you think about yourself?"

"If you had a minor illness or injury in the past, I would feel distressed, let alone let you take medicine for me. The stems and leaves are to you like flesh and blood to people. Even if you can heal quickly, it hurts your muscles and bones every day. I can't stand the pain."

Gu Yan kissed Ye Zi's eyes pitifully, and said in a gentle voice, "Be obedient, don't do this again in the future."

Ye Zi nodded obediently and said no more.

In the next few days, Gu Yan really did as he said, no longer allowing Ye Zi to interfere with the decoction, and he watched people more closely, fearing that he would come up with some crooked ideas to harm his body.

After being taken care of by Gu Yanhaosheng for a few days, Ye Zi's spirit gradually recovered.

A few days later, one morning, news came from Duke Huguo's mansion that Princess Changning died suddenly in his room last night.

When the news came, Gu Yan and Ye Zi were having lunch.

It was a small attendant in the mansion who came to pass the news, and tremblingly said what he knew: "I heard from the people in the Duke's mansion that Changning Princess suddenly woke up last night, and told General Wen Yi Talking for half the night. I didn’t say that I was tired until the middle of the night. General Wen Yi left her to rest in the room. I went to ask the imperial physician to treat Princess Changning early this morning. But..."

"But who knows, Princess Changning hasn't woken up yet when he arrives, so let the girl enter the room to have a look, the person...the person is gone."

Gu Yan asked: "Have you been diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician?"

The little attendant said: "Yes, he was diagnosed and treated right away, his pulse was gone, and he was indeed out of breath. Everyone in the mansion said that the princess was a flashback last night."

"Understood, let's go." Gu Yan dismissed the servant who came to deliver the news with his usual expression, and looked back at Ye Zi, seeing a relieved look in the latter's eyes.

"That girl has made up her mind." Ye Zi sighed and said with a smile, "Come on, I'm afraid Wen Yi will blame me again now, saying that it was me."

Gu Yan picked up vegetables for Ye Zi, and said calmly: "To be precise, it really has something to do with you."

"My lord..."

Gu Yan lowered his eyes and restrained his smile, and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you. Wait until the Duke Huguo's mansion buries Chang Ning's body, and then find a time to explain it to Wen Yi."

Ye Zi nodded, and said again: "Have you thought about where she will go in the future?"

Gu Yan replied: "I'm going to find a house for her to live in outside the city. Not to mention the unstable situation outside, it's safe to stay in Chang'an. Let's talk about the Duke Huguo's mansion... Maybe we still need it." she."

Ye Zi was startled, and asked, "You don't really want to help Gu Xun bring down Duke Hu, do you?"

Gu Yan glanced at him: "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Ye Zi was silent for a while, and stretched out his hand to press the back of Gu Yan's hand: "My lord, but you are like this..."

"I know what you want to say." Gu Yan interrupted him, "You are worried that I will fall into the battle for the heir apparent, and I will end up like before. But you can rest assured, I have a plan in mind this time."

"I'll go out after dinner in a while." Gu Yan said, "As usual, the princess has to stay in the mansion for three days before the funeral. I have already ordered Si Wei to find the body of a woman with a similar appearance and age as Chang Ning. .Tonight, I will have someone dress up that corpse as Chang Ning, and go and replace her."

Ye Zi responded softly, and said again: "The princess is still alive, we have to go to worship tomorrow, right?"

Gu Yan paused for a moment, and said: "It stands to reason, but if you don't want to see the two Wen family father and son, we don't have to go. Anyway, I'm still recovering from illness, so even if I don't go, others won't say much about it." What."

"Let's go." Ye Zi said, "If I don't go, the Wen family will think I'm guilty."

Gu Yan smiled: "You are afraid that Duke Hu will use this to find fault with me."

Ye Zi was seen through by him, and said with a smile, "That's right, why bother to give someone a clue."

Gu Yan said: "Aren't you afraid that Wen Yi will fight with you? He has fought in the battlefield since he was a child, and his skills are no worse than yours."

"Don't be afraid." Ye Zi said without thinking, "Even if I can't beat you, aren't you still here?"

That night, Gu Yan arranged for people to sneak into Duke Huguo's mansion quietly, and replaced the prince with a civet cat, and stole Wen Zhi's "body".The next day, the two changed into plain robes and prepared to go to the Duke Protector's Mansion to mourn.

The Duke Huguo's mansion has changed its previous appearance and hung up white silk lanterns, making it a sad scene from a distance.

Lord Protector Wen Shuhou is an old minister, and many ministers in the court are his confidantes, so many people came to mourn.Ye Zi and Gu Yan followed the servants into the mansion, the yard outside the mourning hall was full of people, but after entering the mourning hall, it was much cleaner.

Princess Changning's mourning hall is located in the front yard, and Wen Shuhou was not there. It is said that he was bedridden on the day he heard the news because of his grief.In Nuo Da's mourning hall, only Wen Yi sat kneeling in front of the mourning coffin, dressed in hemp and mourning, with a gloomy expression, except for a little tiredness, there was nothing unusual about his expression.

The two walked in and were about to kneel and offer incense before the coffin when Wen Yi suddenly got up and grabbed Ye Zi's arm.

The servants guarding the mourning hall were all startled, they wanted to stop him, but they didn't dare to step forward easily.

Gu Yan stood in front of Ye Zi, frowned and said, "What is Little General Wen doing?"

Wen Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he sneered: "You have made my sister like this, how dare you come here?"

Ye Zi's eyes narrowed.

It is hard for anyone to feel the death of a loved one before their eyes.What's more, Wen Yi's face is haggard at this moment, his eyes are red, and he is so embarrassed that he can't return to his original handsome and free and easy appearance. He really can't bear to blame him for slandering himself.

Ye Zi pulled Gu Yan's sleeve behind him, shook his head at him, and signaled him not to worry.

Gu Yan glanced at him, and took half a step back as he said, before Ye Zi said to Wen Yi: "Little General Wen, I know you have misunderstood me, and I am also very sad what happened to Princess Changning today. I just came here today. I want to commemorate and worship, do my best, and hope that she will have a brighter future, and she will no longer be bound by the past."

"There's no need to pretend to be kind here." Wen Yi lowered his voice, "I know what you are, don't think that I don't dare to touch you without evidence now."

Gu Yan frowned and said, "Wen Yi, are you really going to speak so rudely in front of Chang Ning's spirit?"

Wen Yi's eyes moved slightly, he closed his eyes, let go of Ye Zi, and returned to his original position: "Get out of here, you are not welcome here."

Ye Zi didn't say anything else, and bowed and offered incense before the coffin according to etiquette.

While offering incense, Ye Zi glanced calmly at the coffin in front of him.

The people sent by Gu Yan did everything cleanly, and had already secretly sent out the real Princess Changning, but what is left here now is only the corpse of an unknown woman.

Even Wen Yi didn't notice anything unusual.

The two left the residence of Duke Huguo and returned to the residence in a carriage.

Halfway through the carriage, there was a neighing sound from the horse in front of it, and the carriage jerked violently and stopped.

Gu Yan subconsciously hugged Ye Zi, and raised his voice to ask, "What's wrong?"

The groom's voice trembled: "Go back to the prince, yes... yes..."

Before he finished speaking, the curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, and Wen Yi was standing in front of them with a gloomy face: "It's me."
