Ye Zi had already considered the consequences when he ran out of Chang'an City.
He accepted Emperor Jinghe's edict and promised to stay in Beijing to teach the fifth prince, but now he fled privately, it was indeed his fault.But at the time he couldn't care less about it.
Gu Yan's life and death were uncertain, so he couldn't care whether he was resisting the order or not.
Moreover, if he could save Gu Yan's life before he became terminally ill, no matter whether Emperor Jinghe wanted to imprison him or punish him, he would have no complaints.
Gu Yan sighed softly, and smiled slightly: "Emperor Jinghe didn't make an order to scare you."
Ye Zi looked up at him: "Huh?"
Gu Yan rubbed his hair, and said: "Fool, how long have you been here, how do I know the news about Chang'an? I have already sent people back to investigate, and the fastest spies rushed to Chang'an from here, and they had to go back and forth. More than ten days. Wait patiently, but I guess, Emperor Jinghe won't do anything, at least he won't ask you about your crime with great fanfare."
Ye Zi asked, "Why?"
Gu Yan said: "He doesn't need it. This matter can be big or small. To put it mildly, you miss me in your heart and come to look for me from thousands of miles away. When this matter is over, you will go back with me, he said without pain If you don't understand the rules, the matter will be over. But if he punishes you, he won't get anything except driving me. Now that he has internal and external troubles, he probably doesn't want to tear himself apart with me. "
Ye Zi nodded, trying to understand what Gu Yan meant.
He was silent for a moment, and felt wrong again: "Then how do you know that it took me five days to get here?"
Gu Yan smiled: "A certain person is very enthusiastic. As soon as you left Chang'an, you sent someone to deliver a message to me, saying that you have prepared a big gift for me. But he didn't expect that the messenger sent to deliver the message would be better than you." You're still a day late."
Ye Zi was startled: "Third Prince?"
"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded, and snorted coldly, "It's not good for this guy to lie, but he just said that I was sick, which caused you to suffer so much."
Ye Zi couldn't figure it out: "Why did he lie to me?"
Gu Yandao: "He didn't tell me the details of the situation, but I guess he probably wants to make a move. Emperor Jinghe's health is getting worse day by day, and the crown prince can't wait. Gu Xing should be more anxious than him. At this moment Letting you stay away from the imperial city may be to keep you from being implicated, and it can also be counted as my previous help for him in return."
"Okay, let's rest now, why are you asking so many questions?" Seeing that Ye Zi wanted to ask more questions, Gu Yan said, "Aren't you tired now?"
Ye Zi shook his head: "After sleeping for so long, it's enough to go to bed early."
After sleeping for a day and a night, Ye Zi still felt a little tired when he woke up earlier.But after eating the two bowls of hot porridge just now, he has completely recovered now, and he no longer feels sleepy at all.
Ye Zi pinched Gu Yan's finger to play with, just wanted to listen to him for a while longer.
He thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "How is Yi'an's situation now?"
Gu Yandao: "Since the beginning of the plague, many people have died in the city, and more than a thousand people have been infected. Now they are all placed in the Chankong Temple. Pei Ge has used medicine to delay the disease, and now he is trying to find a way to cure it, but the method is not yet clear. ,but……"
Ye Zi asked softly, "But what?"
Gu Yan hugged him tightly, and said in a low voice, "My Sixth Emperor Uncle brought the antidote."
Ye Zi was startled: "The antidote?"
"He said that the plague is not a disease, but a poison of flowers and plants." Gu Yan said, "This is similar to what Pei Ge said to me earlier. Uncle Liuhuang gave me a herbal medicine and told me that the medicine can cure this disease." Poison. I gave this thing to Pei Ge yesterday, and I believe he will be able to find out the conclusion soon."
Ye Zi frowned, and asked thoughtfully, "He...shouldn't be just to save the lives of the people, right?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "You think the same as I do."
Gu Yandao: "If he just wants to send medicine to save the people in this city, he can go to Guangling, publicize the antidote to the public, and let the magistrate send people to deliver the medicine directly. Why bother to go out of your way to sneak into Yi'an , and give me the medicine with your own hands."
Ye Zi replied: "Indeed, it's unreasonable for him to do so."
Gu Yan nodded: "Although I haven't left the city for a few days, I heard that the situation here is not optimistic. If I hadn't written a letter back to Guangling to appease the disaster relief envoy, that guy would have almost sent someone to rescue me. gone."
"The outside world regards this place as a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair that never returns, but my sixth uncle came here at this juncture. Even if he really has an antidote, the risk is still not small." Gu Yan paused, and said, "I just want to I don’t understand, what is he taking such a big risk for?”
Ye Zi hesitated for a moment, then asked: "The medicine he sent...is there any problem?"
Gu Yan said: "It's still hard to say."
"...I received a letter from him three days ago, saying that he heard about the plague happening nearby, and that he has a cure for the plague, so he will come here soon." He sighed, "My Sixth Emperor Uncle's temperament seems to be gentle and kind, but in fact it is not. He was born in the emperor's family and has been influenced by his ears since he was a child. How could he not have some means. It's just that I still can't see through his purpose, so I can only take one step at a time."
Ye Zi hooked Gu Yan's hand, said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, I'm here now, no matter what, I will face it with you."
Gu Yan chuckled, and was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.
It was almost time for dinner, and Mr. Ge, the county magistrate, hosted a banquet in the front hall, and invited Gu Yan to have dinner.
Gu Yan dismissed the servant who sent the message, and turned his head to see that Ye Zi was still lying on the bed, not getting up.
Gu Yan said: "Don't you want to rest, are you still lying down?"
Ye Zi blinked and realized what he meant: "I'm going too?"
Gu Yan smiled and said: "It's not that you haven't eaten enough, why don't you go if you have something to eat?"
Ye Zi paused for a moment, and said, "But Master Ge is hosting a banquet to invite you and King Jing, so it's not appropriate for me to go."
Gu Yan took off Ye Zi's clothes from the hanger at the side, and walked to the side of the bed: "Now you are the favored servant of King Jing, isn't it normal to serve him at the banquet?"
Ye Zi thought for a while, and it was true, she got up and got dressed.
While helping him to dress, Gu Yan instructed: "Speaking of which, when you go to Mr. Ge, you have to continue to play the role of my uncle's entourage. Don't stare at me all the time, so as not to reveal your secrets. Although Mr. Ge is not as good as my emperor Uncle is sharp, but he has been an official for decades, so he has some eyesight, so be cautious."
"I know, I know." Ye Zi curled her lips, "I was too worried about you before, and I haven't seen you for a long time, so I didn't pay attention for a while. I'm not like this usually."
Gu Yan smiled and said nothing more.
After Ye Zi finished dressing, Gu Yan led him back to Gu Yi's yard.As soon as he entered the yard, Ye Zi heard no one calling him.
Gu Yi leaned against the door, shaking the folding fan lightly in his hand, and said deliberately: "Xiao Ye'er, you didn't come back all night, where did you go?"
Ye Zi paused slightly, subconsciously glanced at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan is still not used to and doesn't like this title until now, so he frowned indistinctly.Afterwards, he calmly pulled Ye Zi and turned his head: "So it's Uncle Six, why don't you go to salute Uncle Six."
Ye Zi obediently stepped forward and bowed to Gu Yi: "I have seen Uncle Six."
The smile in Gu Yi's eyes was even wider: "It can be regarded as telling the truth, Princess Rui."
Ye Zi lowered his eyes and did not answer, Gu Yan said: "A Zi was afraid of causing trouble to me, so he didn't dare to recognize the emperor's uncle, so I hope the emperor will not blame him."
"It's okay, it's good to be cautious." Gu Yi said, "Don't worry, I will help you conceal your identities for a few days."
Ye Zi said, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor."
Gu Yi's eyes fell on Gu Yan's face, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.After a long while, he said: "Princess Rui, go back and get some rest first, it's time to go to the front hall in a while."
"it is good."
After sending Ye Zi to the place, Gu Yan turned around and went back to the house.Ye Zi tidied up briefly and waited for a while before leaving the yard with Gu Yi.When the two arrived at the front hall, Gu Yan had already arrived before them.
There are small cases on both sides of the front hall, and red silk is spread in the middle, which is obviously carefully arranged.Seeing Gu Yi approaching, both Gu Yan and Master Ge got up from their seats and saluted Gu Yi.Gu Yi nodded, and led Ye Zi to the other side of the small desk and sat down.
When sitting down, Ye Zi couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Gu Yan.
When he was in front of everyone, he returned to the cold and dusty Prince Rui, and he didn't look like he was in front of Ye Zi at all.Ye Zi inexplicably liked Gu Yan at this time, couldn't help but take a second look, and was knocked on the back of the hand by Gu Yi with a folding fan.
Gu Yi glanced at him: "What are you doing in a daze, and you haven't poured wine for me yet."
Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Gu Yi leaned close to Ye Zi's ear and said softly, "Princess Rui, if you continue to look at it like this, Mrs. Ge should discover something."
Knowing that he was wrong, Ye Zi lowered his head and didn't dare to look around, obediently poured wine and served food for Gu Yi.
Seeing that he was being honest, Gu Yi didn't order him anymore, and even specially allowed him to eat at the side.Ye Zi hadn't eaten properly for a few days, the two bowls of porridge he drank before couldn't hold up anything, and he was already hungry when he first entered the front hall and smelled the aroma of the food.
Now that Gu Yi spoke, he no longer refused, and sat beside him and began to eat properly.
Mr. Ge prepared the banquet thoughtfully, all the delicacies, wine and delicacies that were rarely seen in the past were prepared.
During the banquet, there were singing and dancing to add to the fun.
Mr. Ge invited musicians to play the music. Several beautiful and graceful dancers dressed in white gauze dance clothes danced to the music in the center of the banquet hall.Ye Zi's brows furrowed indistinctly.
Yi'an County is already in dire straits, and Mr. Ge is still drinking and having fun in his own mansion. This is really...
He subconsciously glanced at Gu Yan, and the latter's face really sank.
However, Gu Yi, who was sitting next to Ye Zi, watched with great interest.
When the music reached the exciting point, suddenly, a young man in red descended from the sky and landed among the dancing girls.The dancing girls in white scatter around in unison, like flowers in full bloom, revealing the delicate stamens inside.
The young man was petite, fair-skinned, and had a baby face. He looked about ten years old.He was wrapped in a red silk robe, which was half covered, revealing half of his delicate and beautiful collarbone.
The boy looked indifferent, without any emotion, and quietly completed the dance with the dancer.
Everyone knelt down on the red silk, Master Ge said with a smile: "My lords, this dance is specially dedicated to you, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, naturally satisfied." Gu Yi said, "I have always heard that there are many beauties in the Jiangnan water town, and seeing them today is really extraordinary."
Master Ge smiled even more when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Did you hear that, Prince Jing praised you, why don't you hurry up and pour wine for him?"
"Yes." Several dancers stood up, walked towards Gu Yi, and knelt beside him.
Being so close, Ye Zi could even smell the overly strong scent of makeup on their bodies.
Ye Zi was a little dizzy from the aroma, and retreated a little without showing any traces. The dancers were not polite, and immediately took Ye Zi's place, and graciously poured food and wine for Gu Yi.
Gu Yi turned his head and glanced at Ye Zi, didn't say anything, just accepted it with peace of mind.
Ye Zihou stood beside him, slandering him that the county magistrate really did everything for these two lords.He looked up and saw that only the boy in red was still kneeling on the ground in the middle of the front hall.
Ye Zi was startled, and vaguely realized something.
Lord Ge cleared his throat, the boy trembled and slowly got up.He pursed his lips and walked towards Gu Yan.
The young man picked up the jug on Gu Yan's table and said in a low voice, "My lord, Caomin... Caomin will pour wine for you."
Ye Zi was shaking with anger.
This, this - what is Master Ge thinking about? !Do you know how to adapt measures to local conditions and do what you like?
The entire Central Plains knew that Gu Yan was so masculine that he married a man to be his concubine.So when flattering him, Mr. Ge couldn't help but want to start from this.But he never expected that the rumored Princess Rui would be here now.
The young man in red poured wine for Gu Yan, and raised his glass and stretched it forward, as if he wanted to feed it to him.
Ye Zi hated so much that he almost stared at the two of them.
If Gu Yan dares to touch that glass of wine today, he...he will return to Chang'an immediately, and he will do what he says!
But Gu Yan just turned sideways slightly with a sullen face, avoiding the wine fed by the boy in red.
Seeing that Gu Yan didn't respond, the red-clothed boy showed a bit of panic in his eyes. He knelt and sat on the spot, his hands trembling with nervousness, not knowing what to do.Seeing this, Mr. Ge became anxious, and coughed twice again.
The young man was reminded, stood up, and walked to Gu Yan's side, almost clinging to him.
When the young man posted it, Gu Yan's expression became a little more gloomy.
He didn't let that person touch him, suddenly got up and said coldly: "Master Ge, what do you mean?"
Master Ge was startled, stood up quickly, and explained: "This child has just been bought into the mansion, and it's all because the officials are ineffective in teaching and offended the lord. What are you doing in a daze, and you still don't kowtow to the lord."
The young man pursed his lips, put his head on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Please forgive me, my lord."
Gu Yan didn't even look at the young man, he snorted coldly and said, "In Yi'an County, how many people are suffering from serious illnesses and there is no cure for them. How many people stay behind closed doors and stay in fear all day long. My lord Not only does he not show compassion for the people, but instead he throws a big banquet and enjoys singing and dancing. I'm sorry, but I really don't have the grace of my lord, so I won't accompany you."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and went out the door.
After being scolded by him, Mr. Ge couldn't help but look at Gu Yi: "My lord, this..."
Gu Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Zicheng's temper has not changed since he was a child. Mr. Ge, this king can give you some pointers on this matter."
Mr. Ge said quickly: "I beg the lord to make it clear."
Gu Yi said: "If you want to please King Rui, it's actually not difficult. Just follow what he said, solve the plague here as soon as possible, and let the people live a peaceful life. Zicheng will naturally treat you differently. But if you I just want to please him with good wine and beautiful people, but with all due respect, Zicheng is not the kind of superficial person who only wants to have fun."
Gu Yi took a sip of his wine, raised his eyes and said calmly: "Same, neither is this king."
The banquet broke up unhappy, Ye Zi left Gu Yi alone, and went to look for Gu Yan in the courtyard where he lived.But Gu Yan wasn't there, Ye Zi searched around and found him in the gazebo in the backyard.
Ye Zi stepped forward and took his hand: "Are you still angry? Why are you as knowledgeable as Mr. Ge?"
Gu Yan held his hand back and sighed softly: "No, I'm not angry, I just thought of something else."
Ye Zi asked softly, "What?"
"I'm wondering if it's time for the world to change hands." Gu Yandao, "The high and low officials accept bribes, and the officials in the court protect each other, but the high-ranking monarch turns a blind eye to these things, and instead indulges in sensuality and obsession all day long." Enjoy."
Ye Zi's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
He still remembered how Gu Yan died in the last life.
Ye Zi persuaded: "My lord, don't think too much. Emperor Jinghe does neglect government affairs sometimes, but he is old and doesn't have a few years to live. If Gu Jun can successfully become the prince this time, he will definitely be a wise king in the future , you... don't be impulsive."
Gu Yan smiled: "Are you afraid that I will do something stupid?"
He looked up at the sky, the sky was gloomy tonight, without stars and moon.
"You may not remember that in the previous life, Uncle Six finally conspired against him." Gu Yan closed his eyes, "It was I who arrested him with my own hands, and it was me who personally gave him the glass of poisoned wine in prison."
Ye Zi knew what Gu Yan said.
He has not told Gu Yan that he knows part of the past life.Earlier, he believed in his idea of wearing a book, but after hearing Gu Yan's experience, he felt that it might not be that simple.
He hasn't been able to think clearly about these things so far, so he didn't dare to say them out to disturb Gu Yan.
Gu Yan didn't know what Ye Zi was thinking, so he said to himself: "...I saw him drink that glass of poisoned wine with my own eyes, and I still remember the last words he said to me."
"Are you doing things for the faint king, or for the world?"
"You protect him so much now, you will regret it one day."
"...Don't forget what your father told you before he died."
"My lord." Ye Zi took Gu Yan's hand, and pulled him to sit down by the beauty beside the gazebo, "These have nothing to do with you. At that time, you have no other choice but to help the imperial guards suppress the rebels." s Choice."
"No, you don't understand." Gu Yan shook his head, "I regret it, Azi, I regretted it soon. I should have turned against him at that time, if so, there will be no more... "
Ye Zi asked, "Then... what?"
Gu Yan raised his head and glanced at him, his voice was a little hoarse: "Prince Jing was given to death by a cup of poisoned wine, but this matter is not over yet. The six emperors' uncles have been plotting to rebel for a long time. Emperor Jinghe found out that he was There may be someone in the imperial city to respond."
"...he suspected it was me."
Gu Yan said indifferently: "At that time, I was fighting openly and secretly with the prince. I didn't check for a while, but he set me up."
Ye Zi was startled: "This..."
He doesn't remember these things at all.
In his memory, Gu Yan has been depressed ever since Prince Jing's rebellion. Not long after, he fell insane and was sent to a fief by Emperor Jinghe to recuperate.
Did something happen that he didn't know about?
Gu Yan didn't continue talking for a long time, Ye Zi pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "What happened after that?"
"Later..." Gu Yan said softly, his voice has become a little hoarse, "The prince... or the queen, they made the evidence seamless, and framed me as the person who colluded with King Jing. I can't argue with it. I will be sentenced to death as a traitor."
His eyes gradually turned red: "There is a fool who took care of everything for me."
Ye Zi's heart twitched violently.
He suddenly understood everything.
Huaiyuan did not know what method he used to transfer the evidence of the prince to himself, and instead of Gu Yan, he suffered the disaster of imprisonment.No, that's not just a prison sentence, it's an unforgivable crime of treason and death.
No wonder Gu Yan was so anxious when he heard that he was imprisoned last time.
No wonder he said...he was sorry for Huaiyuan.
Gu Yan only felt that his eyes were full of blood, and his consciousness gradually became chaotic, but his memory of the past gradually became clearer.
After Huaiyuan was imprisoned, he was placed under house arrest in Prince Rui's Mansion by Emperor Jinghe in the name of avoiding suspicion.He was so anxious that he tried countless ways, but he couldn't find any news about Huaiyuan, let alone leave Prince Rui's Mansion.
Until a month later, the prince's people found him.
The person who sent the letter said that the matter had come to light, that Huaiyuan had been convicted of a crime, and that Emperor Jinghe had ordered him to be executed the next day.
Before dying, Emperor Jinghe allowed Gu Yan to meet him.
Gu Yan knew that it was the prince's provocation, but he went anyway.
For a month, he couldn't imagine how they tortured him, and how the man insisted that he was the one who plotted against him under that torture, completely removing Gu Yan from the whole matter.
Gu Yan's headache was about to split, as if he had returned to that dark, dank, blood-stained prison again.
Ye Zi hugged Gu Yan tightly, and comforted him softly: "Don't think about it, Zicheng, don't think about it anymore. I'm fine, I'm fine."
Gu Yan took a few deep breaths, the fresh and moist air at night relieved his headache slightly.
Gu Yan raised his arms and hugged Ye Zi back. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry, I can't control myself when I think of these things. Yes, you are fine now, what else do I want to do?"
Ye Zi's nose was sore, he blinked, and leaned on Gu Yan's shoulder, whispering: "Zi Cheng, you did nothing wrong."
"In that situation, you made the best choice you can make." Ye Zi said, "As for the others, what they did, it's not your fault, and you can't change it. Zicheng, don't make things difficult for yourself again, Seeing you like this makes me sad."
Gu Yan's body trembled slightly, but he didn't answer.
Ye Zi let go of him, raised his eyes to stare at the face that had faded from blood, leaned forward, and gently kissed those cold lips.
Just like what Gu Yan did to comfort him countless times, Ye Zi licked and caressed those slightly trembling lips, her movements were extremely gentle.
Under his meticulous and patient comfort, Gu Yan finally calmed down.
Suddenly, an imperceptible exclamation sounded from behind the two of them.
Gu Yan woke up suddenly, and subconsciously pulled Ye Zi behind him.The two of them looked at the place where the sound came from at the same time. The young man in red at the banquet just now was standing there in a hurry, his face full of embarrassment and embarrassment for breaking someone else's secret.
He accepted Emperor Jinghe's edict and promised to stay in Beijing to teach the fifth prince, but now he fled privately, it was indeed his fault.But at the time he couldn't care less about it.
Gu Yan's life and death were uncertain, so he couldn't care whether he was resisting the order or not.
Moreover, if he could save Gu Yan's life before he became terminally ill, no matter whether Emperor Jinghe wanted to imprison him or punish him, he would have no complaints.

"It's okay, it's good to be cautious." Gu Yi said, "Don't worry, I will help you conceal your identities for a few days."
Ye Zi said, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor."
Gu Yi's eyes fell on Gu Yan's face, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.After a long while, he said: "Princess Rui, go back and get some rest first, it's time to go to the front hall in a while."
"it is good."
After sending Ye Zi to the place, Gu Yan turned around and went back to the house.Ye Zi tidied up briefly and waited for a while before leaving the yard with Gu Yi.When the two arrived at the front hall, Gu Yan had already arrived before them.
There are small cases on both sides of the front hall, and red silk is spread in the middle, which is obviously carefully arranged.Seeing Gu Yi approaching, both Gu Yan and Master Ge got up from their seats and saluted Gu Yi.Gu Yi nodded, and led Ye Zi to the other side of the small desk and sat down.
When sitting down, Ye Zi couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Gu Yan.
When he was in front of everyone, he returned to the cold and dusty Prince Rui, and he didn't look like he was in front of Ye Zi at all.Ye Zi inexplicably liked Gu Yan at this time, couldn't help but take a second look, and was knocked on the back of the hand by Gu Yi with a folding fan.
Gu Yi glanced at him: "What are you doing in a daze, and you haven't poured wine for me yet."
Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Gu Yi leaned close to Ye Zi's ear and said softly, "Princess Rui, if you continue to look at it like this, Mrs. Ge should discover something."
Knowing that he was wrong, Ye Zi lowered his head and didn't dare to look around, obediently poured wine and served food for Gu Yi.
Seeing that he was being honest, Gu Yi didn't order him anymore, and even specially allowed him to eat at the side.Ye Zi hadn't eaten properly for a few days, the two bowls of porridge he drank before couldn't hold up anything, and he was already hungry when he first entered the front hall and smelled the aroma of the food.
Now that Gu Yi spoke, he no longer refused, and sat beside him and began to eat properly.
Mr. Ge prepared the banquet thoughtfully, all the delicacies, wine and delicacies that were rarely seen in the past were prepared.
During the banquet, there were singing and dancing to add to the fun.
Mr. Ge invited musicians to play the music. Several beautiful and graceful dancers dressed in white gauze dance clothes danced to the music in the center of the banquet hall.Ye Zi's brows furrowed indistinctly.
Yi'an County is already in dire straits, and Mr. Ge is still drinking and having fun in his own mansion. This is really...
He subconsciously glanced at Gu Yan, and the latter's face really sank.
However, Gu Yi, who was sitting next to Ye Zi, watched with great interest.
When the music reached the exciting point, suddenly, a young man in red descended from the sky and landed among the dancing girls.The dancing girls in white scatter around in unison, like flowers in full bloom, revealing the delicate stamens inside.
The young man was petite, fair-skinned, and had a baby face. He looked about ten years old.He was wrapped in a red silk robe, which was half covered, revealing half of his delicate and beautiful collarbone.
The boy looked indifferent, without any emotion, and quietly completed the dance with the dancer.
Everyone knelt down on the red silk, Master Ge said with a smile: "My lords, this dance is specially dedicated to you, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, naturally satisfied." Gu Yi said, "I have always heard that there are many beauties in the Jiangnan water town, and seeing them today is really extraordinary."
Master Ge smiled even more when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Did you hear that, Prince Jing praised you, why don't you hurry up and pour wine for him?"
"Yes." Several dancers stood up, walked towards Gu Yi, and knelt beside him.
Being so close, Ye Zi could even smell the overly strong scent of makeup on their bodies.
Ye Zi was a little dizzy from the aroma, and retreated a little without showing any traces. The dancers were not polite, and immediately took Ye Zi's place, and graciously poured food and wine for Gu Yi.
Gu Yi turned his head and glanced at Ye Zi, didn't say anything, just accepted it with peace of mind.
Ye Zihou stood beside him, slandering him that the county magistrate really did everything for these two lords.He looked up and saw that only the boy in red was still kneeling on the ground in the middle of the front hall.
Ye Zi was startled, and vaguely realized something.
Lord Ge cleared his throat, the boy trembled and slowly got up.He pursed his lips and walked towards Gu Yan.
The young man picked up the jug on Gu Yan's table and said in a low voice, "My lord, Caomin... Caomin will pour wine for you."
Ye Zi was shaking with anger.
This, this - what is Master Ge thinking about? !Do you know how to adapt measures to local conditions and do what you like?
The entire Central Plains knew that Gu Yan was so masculine that he married a man to be his concubine.So when flattering him, Mr. Ge couldn't help but want to start from this.But he never expected that the rumored Princess Rui would be here now.
The young man in red poured wine for Gu Yan, and raised his glass and stretched it forward, as if he wanted to feed it to him.
Ye Zi hated so much that he almost stared at the two of them.
If Gu Yan dares to touch that glass of wine today, he...he will return to Chang'an immediately, and he will do what he says!
But Gu Yan just turned sideways slightly with a sullen face, avoiding the wine fed by the boy in red.
Seeing that Gu Yan didn't respond, the red-clothed boy showed a bit of panic in his eyes. He knelt and sat on the spot, his hands trembling with nervousness, not knowing what to do.Seeing this, Mr. Ge became anxious, and coughed twice again.
The young man was reminded, stood up, and walked to Gu Yan's side, almost clinging to him.
When the young man posted it, Gu Yan's expression became a little more gloomy.
He didn't let that person touch him, suddenly got up and said coldly: "Master Ge, what do you mean?"
Master Ge was startled, stood up quickly, and explained: "This child has just been bought into the mansion, and it's all because the officials are ineffective in teaching and offended the lord. What are you doing in a daze, and you still don't kowtow to the lord."
The young man pursed his lips, put his head on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Please forgive me, my lord."
Gu Yan didn't even look at the young man, he snorted coldly and said, "In Yi'an County, how many people are suffering from serious illnesses and there is no cure for them. How many people stay behind closed doors and stay in fear all day long. My lord Not only does he not show compassion for the people, but instead he throws a big banquet and enjoys singing and dancing. I'm sorry, but I really don't have the grace of my lord, so I won't accompany you."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and went out the door.
After being scolded by him, Mr. Ge couldn't help but look at Gu Yi: "My lord, this..."
Gu Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Zicheng's temper has not changed since he was a child. Mr. Ge, this king can give you some pointers on this matter."
Mr. Ge said quickly: "I beg the lord to make it clear."
Gu Yi said: "If you want to please King Rui, it's actually not difficult. Just follow what he said, solve the plague here as soon as possible, and let the people live a peaceful life. Zicheng will naturally treat you differently. But if you I just want to please him with good wine and beautiful people, but with all due respect, Zicheng is not the kind of superficial person who only wants to have fun."
Gu Yi took a sip of his wine, raised his eyes and said calmly: "Same, neither is this king."
The banquet broke up unhappy, Ye Zi left Gu Yi alone, and went to look for Gu Yan in the courtyard where he lived.But Gu Yan wasn't there, Ye Zi searched around and found him in the gazebo in the backyard.
Ye Zi stepped forward and took his hand: "Are you still angry? Why are you as knowledgeable as Mr. Ge?"
Gu Yan held his hand back and sighed softly: "No, I'm not angry, I just thought of something else."
Ye Zi asked softly, "What?"
"I'm wondering if it's time for the world to change hands." Gu Yandao, "The high and low officials accept bribes, and the officials in the court protect each other, but the high-ranking monarch turns a blind eye to these things, and instead indulges in sensuality and obsession all day long." Enjoy."
Ye Zi's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
He still remembered how Gu Yan died in the last life.
Ye Zi persuaded: "My lord, don't think too much. Emperor Jinghe does neglect government affairs sometimes, but he is old and doesn't have a few years to live. If Gu Jun can successfully become the prince this time, he will definitely be a wise king in the future , you... don't be impulsive."
Gu Yan smiled: "Are you afraid that I will do something stupid?"
He looked up at the sky, the sky was gloomy tonight, without stars and moon.
"You may not remember that in the previous life, Uncle Six finally conspired against him." Gu Yan closed his eyes, "It was I who arrested him with my own hands, and it was me who personally gave him the glass of poisoned wine in prison."
Ye Zi knew what Gu Yan said.
He has not told Gu Yan that he knows part of the past life.Earlier, he believed in his idea of wearing a book, but after hearing Gu Yan's experience, he felt that it might not be that simple.
He hasn't been able to think clearly about these things so far, so he didn't dare to say them out to disturb Gu Yan.
Gu Yan didn't know what Ye Zi was thinking, so he said to himself: "...I saw him drink that glass of poisoned wine with my own eyes, and I still remember the last words he said to me."
"Are you doing things for the faint king, or for the world?"
"You protect him so much now, you will regret it one day."
"...Don't forget what your father told you before he died."
"My lord." Ye Zi took Gu Yan's hand, and pulled him to sit down by the beauty beside the gazebo, "These have nothing to do with you. At that time, you have no other choice but to help the imperial guards suppress the rebels." s Choice."
"No, you don't understand." Gu Yan shook his head, "I regret it, Azi, I regretted it soon. I should have turned against him at that time, if so, there will be no more... "
Ye Zi asked, "Then... what?"
Gu Yan raised his head and glanced at him, his voice was a little hoarse: "Prince Jing was given to death by a cup of poisoned wine, but this matter is not over yet. The six emperors' uncles have been plotting to rebel for a long time. Emperor Jinghe found out that he was There may be someone in the imperial city to respond."
"...he suspected it was me."
Gu Yan said indifferently: "At that time, I was fighting openly and secretly with the prince. I didn't check for a while, but he set me up."
Ye Zi was startled: "This..."
He doesn't remember these things at all.
In his memory, Gu Yan has been depressed ever since Prince Jing's rebellion. Not long after, he fell insane and was sent to a fief by Emperor Jinghe to recuperate.
Did something happen that he didn't know about?
Gu Yan didn't continue talking for a long time, Ye Zi pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "What happened after that?"
"Later..." Gu Yan said softly, his voice has become a little hoarse, "The prince... or the queen, they made the evidence seamless, and framed me as the person who colluded with King Jing. I can't argue with it. I will be sentenced to death as a traitor."
His eyes gradually turned red: "There is a fool who took care of everything for me."
Ye Zi's heart twitched violently.
He suddenly understood everything.
Huaiyuan did not know what method he used to transfer the evidence of the prince to himself, and instead of Gu Yan, he suffered the disaster of imprisonment.No, that's not just a prison sentence, it's an unforgivable crime of treason and death.
No wonder Gu Yan was so anxious when he heard that he was imprisoned last time.
No wonder he said...he was sorry for Huaiyuan.
Gu Yan only felt that his eyes were full of blood, and his consciousness gradually became chaotic, but his memory of the past gradually became clearer.
After Huaiyuan was imprisoned, he was placed under house arrest in Prince Rui's Mansion by Emperor Jinghe in the name of avoiding suspicion.He was so anxious that he tried countless ways, but he couldn't find any news about Huaiyuan, let alone leave Prince Rui's Mansion.
Until a month later, the prince's people found him.
The person who sent the letter said that the matter had come to light, that Huaiyuan had been convicted of a crime, and that Emperor Jinghe had ordered him to be executed the next day.
Before dying, Emperor Jinghe allowed Gu Yan to meet him.
Gu Yan knew that it was the prince's provocation, but he went anyway.
For a month, he couldn't imagine how they tortured him, and how the man insisted that he was the one who plotted against him under that torture, completely removing Gu Yan from the whole matter.
Gu Yan's headache was about to split, as if he had returned to that dark, dank, blood-stained prison again.
Ye Zi hugged Gu Yan tightly, and comforted him softly: "Don't think about it, Zicheng, don't think about it anymore. I'm fine, I'm fine."
Gu Yan took a few deep breaths, the fresh and moist air at night relieved his headache slightly.
Gu Yan raised his arms and hugged Ye Zi back. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry, I can't control myself when I think of these things. Yes, you are fine now, what else do I want to do?"
Ye Zi's nose was sore, he blinked, and leaned on Gu Yan's shoulder, whispering: "Zi Cheng, you did nothing wrong."
"In that situation, you made the best choice you can make." Ye Zi said, "As for the others, what they did, it's not your fault, and you can't change it. Zicheng, don't make things difficult for yourself again, Seeing you like this makes me sad."
Gu Yan's body trembled slightly, but he didn't answer.
Ye Zi let go of him, raised his eyes to stare at the face that had faded from blood, leaned forward, and gently kissed those cold lips.
Just like what Gu Yan did to comfort him countless times, Ye Zi licked and caressed those slightly trembling lips, her movements were extremely gentle.
Under his meticulous and patient comfort, Gu Yan finally calmed down.
Suddenly, an imperceptible exclamation sounded from behind the two of them.
Gu Yan woke up suddenly, and subconsciously pulled Ye Zi behind him.The two of them looked at the place where the sound came from at the same time. The young man in red at the banquet just now was standing there in a hurry, his face full of embarrassment and embarrassment for breaking someone else's secret.
