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

Ye Zi was silent for a long time before replying hesitantly: "I...I am not good at martial arts, so I am afraid that I will delay the Fifth Highness. There are many masters in the palace, so why don't you worry about finding someone to teach the Fifth Highness?"

Emperor Jinghe smiled and said: "Princess Rui, why should you be humble? I have seen your kung fu before, so you don't need to be inferior to a master. What's more, a child like Xiao Wu's age is most afraid of being pushed too hard. Since he likes you so much, Under your hands, I can also learn more attentively."

When Emperor Jinghe got to this point, Ye Zi couldn't refute anymore, so he had to agree.

The two talked for a while, and Emperor Jinghe said: "Yan'er was just called by me to discuss some matters with several ministers, and he should have come out by now, you go, don't make him wait too long."

Ye Zi bowed to Jing and the emperor, and left the imperial study.

As soon as he went out, he saw Gu Yan waiting for him in the corridor not far away.Seeing him come out, the frown was loosened a little.

Ye Zi walked over, Gu Yan didn't care about the eunuchs and courtiers outside the imperial study room, and stretched out his hand to hug Ye Zi into his arms.

Gu Yan whispered in Ye Zi's ear: "If you don't come out again, I will break in to find you."

Ye Zi chuckled lightly: "Let me go, my lord, do you still think that others say that I am charming you, and you don't say enough?"

Gu Yan said softly: "Yes, I just think they don't talk enough. I want to let them see how much I treasure you, so that no one will always be tempted by you."

Ye Zi felt warm in her heart, and was led out of the palace gate by Gu Yan.

The two got into the carriage, and Ye Zi said, "Emperor Jinghe asked me to teach A Xu Kung Fu, what do you think he's good at?"

Gu Yan poured two cups of tea, took a sip unhurriedly, and said: "It really is the way of Emperor Jinghe. He is looking for a backer for the fifth prince. Just teach me, that old thing has already opened his mouth, and he can't do it." Resist the decree."

Ye Zi was stunned: "This... So, he did this to protect A Xu through us? Does he know that someone is harming A Xu?"

"It should be known." Gu Yandao, "The Concubine Xian and Concubine De, who went on an outing with the fifth prince this time, were detained for half a year respectively, and all the eunuchs and guards present were executed, but even so, Jinghe It is still impossible for the emperor to let go of his heart. He can't find any evidence, and he can't find out who is trying to kill his son."

Ye Zi said: "So, he can only find someone to protect A Xu."

"That's right." Gu Yan said, "The court is now divided into three factions. The prince's party is headed by the Duke Huguo, and the third prince's side is also supported by a line of princes and uncles. The rest are my father's old ministries. Now Someone wants to drag the Fifth Prince into the muddy waters of seizing the heir, and Emperor Jinghe wanted to protect his youngest son, so he naturally thought of other ways out."

"... Apart from us, he probably won't be able to find anyone else in this court. It just so happens that you saved the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince got close to you again, so he just went along with the flow."

Ye Zi suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He's been scheming and scheming, guarding against you for most of his life, but in the end he has to rely on you to protect his son, this is really..."

"That's not all." Gu Yan sneered, "Do you know what happened at the court meeting today?"

"what?"

Gu Yandao: "Just now at the court meeting, Emperor Jinghe brought up the old matter again and asked about the progress of the crown prince's disaster relief. The crown prince faltered and couldn't answer, so Emperor Jinghe was furious and formally abolished the crown prince's position as disaster relief censor. "

"This……"

Gu Yan said: "If one disaster relief censor is abolished, another one must be replaced. Moreover, Emperor Jinghe plans to send another supervisory censor this time to go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief."

"Just now after the court meeting, Emperor Jinghe kept me for a while, just to talk about this matter." Gu Yan paused and said, "The old man is going to let me go."

"No," Ye Zi said without thinking, "You can't go."

Ye Zi felt chills down his spine, and finally figured out what Emperor Jinghe was trying to do.

Emperor Jinghe sent Gu Yan to Jiangnan, leaving Ye Zi to teach Gu Xu martial arts in Beijing.Ye Zi stayed with Gu Xu all day long, not only protecting Gu Xu's safety, but also Emperor Jinghe could use Ye Zi to control Gu Yan who was far to the south.

As for Gu Yan, who went to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, it would be fine if the disaster can be solved smoothly, but if something goes wrong, Emperor Jinghe can just make use of it.

Gu Yan sighed lightly, and stroked Ye Zi's back: "Don't worry, I have anticipated this matter, and I have already prepared for it."

"what?"

Gu Yandao: "Calculating the time, at this time in my previous life, I happened to be sent to fight in the northern border. I still remember that during this period of time, there was a plague in the south of the Yangtze River due to the persistent disaster."

Ye Zi was taken aback.

He still remembers it.

The plague in the south of the Yangtze River was very similar to the one in Chang'an.People suffering from the plague will cough continuously and have fever all over the body, and they will die within seven days.At the beginning, Gu Yan's father, the former crown prince was also suffering from this plague, and the late emperor gave him the best decoction to prolong his life, and it didn't last more than half a month.

The same is true of the plague in the south of the Yangtze River. Once it broke out, it took less than a month to affect several cities.

Finally, the minister in charge of disaster relief got the oracle, sealed off all the cities affected by the plague, and burned all the people in the city, sick and not sick.

When this happened, Gu Yan was at his wits' end, and by the time he knew about it, it was already too late.

Although he never said it, Gu Yan should have been brooding over this matter in his heart.

Ye Zi asked softly, "Then... what are you going to do?"

Gu Yandao: "I have been ordering Pei Ge to secretly find a cure for the plague, just waiting for this day. Although he has not fully developed the antidote, at least it can delay the onset of the plague. This time I am going south. Take him with me, I don't believe it, I can't save the lives of several of my cities."

Ye Zi pursed her lips, and was embraced by Gu Yan.

Gu Yan had already made up his mind, and it was useless to say anything else.What's more, he knew Gu Yan well, if he knew that he could save those people but did nothing, he would definitely feel bad.

Ye Zi paused for a long time, then asked in a low voice, "When are you leaving?"

Gu Yan said: "In two days, I just talked to Emperor Jinghe, and some things need to be arranged again. Moreover, I have to read the file of Jiangnan disaster relief first."

Ye Zi responded softly, put his arms around Gu Yan's waist, and hugged him tighter.

Gu Yan dared to accept the errand of Emperor Jinghe, and he must have a plan for how to deal with the disaster and how to treat the epidemic in the future.Originally, Ye Zi was worried that he would be plotted against by Emperor Jinghe, but now it seems that Gu Yan also has his own wish to go south to relieve the disaster.

The only thing that made Ye Zi unhappy was that they had to be separated for a long time.

Gu Yan chuckled lightly: "What's the matter, are you so reluctant to part with me?"

"That's right." Ye Zi bit her lip, her voice was low, "You go here, at least three months, at most half a year, I won't see you for so long."

Gu Yan caressed the back of the person beside him, and smiled in a low voice: "You are really different from the past. If you could hug me like this and not let me go when I was going out, I would definitely not give up. left."

Ye Zi buried her head in Gu Yan's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "How did you know I didn't want to?"

Knowing that they will be separated for half a year, he already feels so uncomfortable. If they really want to be separated for a few years, he will definitely feel even more sad.

Gu Yan's eyes moved slightly, and his expression darkened: "Sorry."

Ye Zi said: "You don't have to tell me these things, I understand... Anyway, it's half a year, I'll just wait for you."

The carriage soon arrived at the palace, and the two returned to the palace for a short rest.

Later, Gu Xu came to the palace.

Gu Xu threw himself into Ye Zi's arms and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, I heard from my father that you can teach me martial arts, right?"

Ye Zi was still not very happy when he thought of this, so he forced a smile: "Yes."

Gu Xu heard that his voice was not right, and looked up at him with a pair of dark and bright eyes: "Sister-in-law, are you unhappy?"

Ye Zi was startled, then shook his head: "No."

"You're just unhappy." Gu Xu lost his expression immediately, and said sensiblely, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, it was Eunuch Wu who followed me that day, and he went back to tell my mother and concubine what happened. The mother and concubine... should have told the father again."

"I didn't know that my father would directly issue an order. I'll go back and tell him that I don't want you to teach me anymore. Don't be unhappy..."

Ye Zi's heart softened, and she said softly, "It's not because of you, and it's not because I'm in a bad mood."

Gu Xu turned his head to look at him, and asked ignorantly, "What's the reason for that?"

Ye Zi hesitated, "Because..."

Gu Xu thought for a while and came to understand: "I see, it's because cousin Yan is leaving, isn't it?"

"...Don't be sad, sister-in-law, A Xu is with you, so you won't be bored."

Gu Yan who happened to walk into the courtyard and heard Gu Xu's words: "..."

He gritted his teeth lightly, and gave Gu Xu a vicious look.

This bastard.

Gu Xu noticed Gu Yan's arrival, let go of Ye Zi awkwardly, and called obediently: "Cousin."

Gu Yan snorted coldly, taking it as a response.

He walked into the courtyard, raised his hand, and threw the long sword in his hand to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi raised his hand to take it, the familiar weight and touch made his heart tremble.

Ye Zi stared at him blankly: "This sword..."

Gu Yandao: "The one that was sent to help you specially, should be the same as the one you... used in the past."

Ye Zi stretched out his hand and gently brushed the sword body, every pattern and outline carved on the sword body perfectly matched his memory.Although it was the first time he got this sword, he seemed to be very familiar with it.

Gu Yandao: "I have been looking for someone to make this sword for a long time, and I always feel that there is still something missing. Until now, it is barely similar to your old one. You use it first. If there is something wrong, I will find it again. People change it for you."

Ye Zi grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out two inches, with a bang, the silver-white sword light shone on his face, adding a chill to his face.

Ye Zi's heart warmed, this person can always make him aware of his childlike friendship at these inadvertent moments.

Ye Zi put the sword back and said, "That's enough, thank you."

Gu Yan nodded and said nothing more.

Gu Xu looked aside for a while, then raised both hands and waved: "Do I have it? Do I have it? I want a sword too!"

"You?" Gu Yan mocked and pointed to the sword in Ye Zi's hand, "If you can lift that sword, I'll find someone to make another for you."

Gu Xu blinked, and immediately stepped forward to take Ye Zi's sword.

Ye Zi hurriedly hid for a while, and blamed: "My lord, don't teach the child to handle such a dangerous thing."

Gu Yan said leisurely: "The Gu family conquered the world on horseback. The late emperor was able to ride a horse to plunder and kill the enemy at the age of nine. He is already seven years old. Why is he still coquettish?"

Gu Xu said: "That's it!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Ye Zi turned his head and went into the house and put the long sword away, went to the tree and broke two branches, and handed one to Gu Xu, "Just use this, think about it after you've practiced it." Anything else."

Gu Xu took the branch, reluctantly said: "Okay, thank you Master."

Ye Zi laughed: "What did you call me?"

Gu Xu blinked: "Don't the folks call the person who teaches them martial arts a master?"

Even so, Ye Zi was still a little unaccustomed to this statement, before he could respond, Gu Yan walked up and snatched another branch from Ye Zi.

He waved the branch lightly, looked at Ye Zi: "Didn't we have a good competition yet?"

Ye Zi was taken aback.

He had had the opportunity to fight a few tricks with Gu Yan before, and that person knew all his martial arts methods clearly, so he had no chance of winning.However, he did not use his full strength at that time, if he went all out, the result would be uncertain.

If he really can't beat the disciples he taught himself, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Ye Zi grinned: "Okay, why don't we have a competition?"

"Right on my mind."

Ye Zi turned to look at Gu Xu: "A Xu, lend me the branch."

Gu Yan quietly waited for Ye Zi to take the branch from Gu Xu, and then ordered that person to stay away, and said leisurely, "Why don't you give me some money?"

Ye Zi rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, you decide."

Gu Yan said: "Then according to the usual practice, whoever wins must unconditionally agree to the other party's request, how about it?"

Ye Zi subconsciously glanced at the silver bell on her wrist.

This silver bell Gu Yan kept his promise, and he didn't help him take it off for several days, causing him to hear the ringing sound everywhere he went, and there was no way to change it back to its original shape.

Ye Zi thought about it, and said, "Yes."

The corner of Gu Yan's mouth curled up, and he stretched out the branch in his hand, stabbing at Ye Zi first.Ye Zi was unhurried, when the branch was about to get close to him, he picked off the opponent's attack and dodged to dodge.

Ye Zi's martial arts and swordsmanship were specially taught and trained by the late emperor at the level of a killer. Every move and style he learned was ruthless and merciless.But he is a gentle and kind-hearted person, the original fierce sword move is in his hands, he is a little more tolerant and retreats to advance.

Gu Yan's most basic martial arts and swordsmanship were taught by Ye Zi, but he didn't inherit his style at all. Instead, he resembled the master who taught Ye Zi sword skills back then.Gu Yan's offensive was extremely fierce, and he was very familiar with Ye Zi's martial arts methods and strategies to deal with the enemy, which made Ye Zi lose the wind for a while.

"Master, come on! Don't lose!" Gu Xu was excited and couldn't help shouting.

Gu Yan curled his lips into a smile, and said softly: "Did you hear me, let you concentrate, don't lose, master."

Ye Zi's hand trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the branch in his hand.

It's too foul for this person to call him that at this juncture.

Ye Zi held back her anger, and gradually became serious.Gu Yan suddenly felt a little hard for him to be serious.

These years, Gu Yan's health is not good and he has neglected to practice kung fu. The longer the competition between the two lasts, the more powerless he becomes.

Sure enough, a moment later, Ye Zi swung a branch and hit Gu Yan on the back of his hand. Gu Yan's hand loosened in pain, and the branch was thrown out.

Ye Zi won.

"Wow, Master is amazing!" Gu Xu ran over bouncing around and hugged Ye Zi's arm, "Master is amazing."

Gu Yan walked over and said with a smile: "Yes, Master is really amazing."

Ye Zi couldn't stand him calling herself that, her cheeks were slightly hot, she tilted her head and said, "Don't call me that."

Gu Xu didn't know why, he stood in front of Ye Zi, raised his head and said solemnly: "That's right, cousin can't call sister-in-law that way, only I can."

Gu Yan pretended to be puzzled and said, "Oh, then what should I call it?"

Gu Xu thought for a while, and said seriously: "It should be called a lady."

Ye Zi's ears turned red.

Ye Zi didn't dare to let Gu Yan stay here anymore, and drove him to the study, and stayed in the backyard to teach Gu Xu the basic skills.

Emperor Jinghe was right, Gu Xu was really talented and intelligent, he could understand everything taught by Ye Zi in just two hours.

After dinner, Ye Zi sent Gu Xu away and went to the study to look for Gu Yan.Gu Yan stayed in the study for the whole afternoon and didn't even bother to eat dinner. Ye Zi asked the back kitchen to prepare some porridge and took it to the study in person.

Pushing open the door of the study, Gu Yan frowned and was flipping through files on floods in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ye Zi put down his things, and said with a smile, "Why is Prince Rui so diligent in government affairs that he doesn't even eat?"

Gu Yan threw away the file in his hand, and pressed the sore brows: "Gu Sheng, that idiot, is acting too nonsense."

Gu Sheng is the name of the current crown prince.

"Don't read it if you don't want to, eat something." Ye Zi filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to him.

Gu Yan didn't answer, and shook his head: "No need."

"No." Ye Zi said, "You just got better, so you didn't use it to spoil you like this."

Ye Zi said: "If you are like this, I don't worry about you going out alone. I will tell Si Wei later, let him keep an eye on your food and medicine."

"Okay, can I still eat?" Gu Yan moved the file in front of him to the side, took the porridge bowl, and drank it slowly.

Ye Zi leaned over and glanced at the files on the table. He didn't quite understand these things, but he could see that things were indeed not optimistic.

Gu Yan didn't mention these anymore, but said: "The bastard is gone?"

Ye Zi said: "Leave early, I am so tired today, I don't know if I dare to come tomorrow."

Gu Yan sneered: "If he suffers this much, he will retreat, and he will have nothing to do when he grows up."

Ye Zi lowered her eyes, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Gu Yan noticed his expression and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Ah Xu..." Ye Zi was silent for a while, and said slowly, "I seem to understand why Emperor Jinghe wants to protect him, does he want to..."

Gu Yan said: "You guessed right."

"Emperor Jinghe wants to appoint Gu Xu as his heir."

Ye Zi's eyes darkened. If this is the case, will the crown prince and Gu Xun let him live in peace?

Gu Yandao: "Among the three princes, although Gu Sheng is the prince, he is weak in talent and strategy. Regarding his birth mother, his relationship with Emperor Jinghe has always been lukewarm, and Emperor Jinghe cannot trust him."

"Only Gu Xu, he is talented and intelligent, as long as he teaches well, he will become a master in the future."

Ye Zi said, "But he's still so young..."

"Small?" Gu Yan chuckled, "Don't forget, I was brought by the late emperor, and when I was taught as the future prince, I was younger than him."

Ye Zi lowered her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Gu Yan put down the porridge bowl, stretched out his hand and pinched his face: "Okay, why are you looking so sad? The crown prince can't take care of himself when dealing with Gu Xun, and Gu Xun has that little sparrow beside him, so he won't move Us. Since Emperor Jinghe entrusted Gu Xu to you, you should protect him as long as you can, and we will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, maybe you can still be the future Taifu."

"My lord..." Ye Zi interrupted softly, "I don't want to be a tutor."

Gu Yan moved aside and gave up half of the seat for Ye Zi to sit down: "I understand, you don't want to get involved in this, and you don't want to see that child involved in this. But he was born in the court, and these are the things he was destined to face. Yes, you can't change it."

Ye Zi responded lightly.

Many times when he was with Gu Xu, he could see Gu Yan's past appearance from that child.

He has no memory of the past, and he doesn't know how the little Gu Yan, who was protected by the late Emperor Haosheng, survived the great change, from such a pure and uncontested temperament to the present one, who can stand by and watch other people's calculations.

He selfishly didn't want Gu Xu to experience these things.

But Gu Yan was right, no matter how unfounded he was, he couldn't change these things.

Ye Zi glanced down at Gu Yan's hand table, and saw a faint red mark on the back of his hand.

He was injured during the competition in the afternoon.

Ye Zi stood up abruptly: "It's all swollen, why didn't you tell me?"

Gu Yan smiled nonchalantly: "It's just such a small injury, it will disappear tomorrow, so there's nothing to make a fuss about."

"Sorry, I acted too hard at that time, I'll find you some ointment to apply."

After speaking, Ye Zi immediately went out, and quickly came back with some ointment and cold water.

Ye Zi soaked the handkerchief with cold water, put it on the back of Gu Yan's hand, and reproached him, "Why are you so stupid, you don't even say you're injured, why would you be so swollen if you applied some medicine earlier?"

Gu Yan said softly: "It's really fine, it doesn't hurt at all, and I didn't notice it myself."

This was obviously just to reassure Ye Zi, Ye Zi didn't bother to reason with him, after a while of cold compress, he dipped some ointment with his fingers and applied it gently.

Seeing his anxious and focused appearance, Gu Yan's heart moved, and he teased in a low voice: "Besides, even if it hurts, I can't say it. In front of that little bastard Gu Xu, should I save some face?"

"Really, Master?"

Ye Zi shook his hand and spread the ointment crookedly.

Ye Zi was angry: "Gu Zicheng!"

Gu Yan's tone was calm and unhurried: "Here, Master."

Ye Zi glared at him: "No, don't call me that."

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Why? Aren't you my master? You still beat me today."

This title was called out by Gu Yan to make an accent, with some inexplicable sense of taboo.Ye Zi blushed when he called her, and took a deep breath: "You're just taking revenge on me, aren't you? You saw that I promised to teach Gu Xu Kung Fu, so you're angry and jealous, aren't you?"

Gu Yan made no secrets: "That's right."

"you--"

Ye Zi was so angry that her face turned red, and she didn't know how to vent it, so she pulled Gu Yan's collar and bit the man's lips hard.

When the two get close, Ye Zi rarely takes the initiative.

He liked the way Gu Yan kissed him, it was so gentle that he fell for it, yet so strong that it scared him.

Even if Ye Zi picks it up first, Gu Yan will always quickly regain the initiative.But only this time, Gu Yan didn't move, and Ye Zi still kissed him fiercely.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Zi let go of him, and both of them couldn't breathe well.

Ye Zi gasped and was about to say something, but Gu Yan pulled her over and sat on his lap.

The distance between the two was too close, and Ye Zi immediately felt some strange sensations coming from under her body.
