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

Gu Yi's words caught the two of them off guard, Ye Zi came out from the inner room, and exchanged a glance with Gu Yan.Gu Yan shook his head imperceptibly at him, and said to Gu Yi: "Uncle, please sit down."

The three sat down at the table, and Gu Yan said again: "Why did the emperor leave so soon?"

Gu Yi smiled: "After staying here for so many days, I should leave when I've had enough fun. If I don't go back to the fief, Brother Huang should have something against me."

Emperor Jinghe ordered Gu Yan to go south, and secretly kept a close eye on Gu Yan's movements.Emperor Jinghe must have known about Gu Yi's arrival in Guangling.

Ye Zi suddenly asked: "The emperor must have been in Guangling for a long time, right?"

Gu Yi was silent for a moment, and said, "Why do you ask that?"

Ye Zi said: "If that wasn't the case, how could Uncle Huang have saved those innocent refugees who were arrested for drug testing, and guided us to find them?"

Gu Yi took a sip of tea and did not hide anything: "You are right, I saved them. It was indeed my idea to let them tie you up."

Gu Yan asked: "The emperor knew early on that Master Feng was playing tricks?"

Gu Yi raised his eyes and looked at him: "He is the only one who came from Chang'an except you. It's not him who is playing tricks, so could it be you?"

Gu Yanruo thought thoughtfully: "So, Master Feng really did this under the orders of the big figures in the imperial city?"

"I didn't say that." Gu Yi said, "This king wants to live a few more years, I dare not say such things."

"Zi Cheng understands." Gu Yan said, "It's just that I have a doubt, and I want to ask Uncle Huang for an answer."

"...What are the so-called poisonous flowers of the Western Regions?"

Gu Yi's movements froze, his eyes drooped and he remained silent.After a while, he sighed softly and said, "That's not some kind of poisonous flower from the Western Regions."

"Twenty years ago, a medical genius came out of the Central Plains. The man was invited to Chang'an and secretly cultivated a poisonous flower. The poisonous flower seemed to be the same as the usual flowers, except that after the pollen was dissolved in water, it would turn into a poisonous flower. It forms a strange poison. The symptoms of the poisoned people are similar to common cold and fever, but the infection is very high, and most of them can't live for seven days after infection."

Gu Yan frowned slightly: "This poisonous flower...was actually cultivated? Who did this? And why did they do it?"

"This..." Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Yan and said, "Zi Cheng, in fact, you should be more concerned about this issue."

Gu Yi let out a long sigh, as if falling into some kind of extremely long-standing memory: "At the beginning, the elder brother who was the prince was ordered to go west to conquer the barbarians. After returning triumphantly, he married the princess and gave birth to you the next year. At that time I'm still young, but I haven't forgotten the demeanor of Brother Dahuang back then. At that time, both the father and the court ministers believed that he would be the next Mingjun who would lead the world to prosperity and peace."

"In that case, he is a well-deserved candidate for the heir apparent."

"You think that's the last thing anyone wants to see."

Back then, the prince's prestige far surpassed that of other princes, unless something happened to him, it was absolutely impossible to replace the prince.In that case, if something happens to the prince, the second prince is most likely to inherit the throne.

Gu Yan closed his eyes slightly, and slowly tightened his hands on the table.

Gu Yi paused for a moment, and then said: "Not long after you were born, a plague broke out in Chang'an. The plague came on quickly and caused many people to suffer. The imperial city was heavily guarded, but no one expected it. It’s actually the elder brother who lives in the Prince’s Mansion.”

Gu Yan whispered: "The defense of the Prince's Mansion should not be weaker than that of the Imperial City."

"That's right." Gu Yi said, "According to what I know, Royal Father also thought about investigating this matter at the beginning, but before he could find anything out of his investigation, Brother Elder... couldn't hold on anymore."

"After the death of the eldest brother, the father was too sad, so the matter was left alone. You should know the rest."

Gu Yan asked: "How did the emperor know all this?"

Gu Yi was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Zicheng, you may not know that your father is an excellent person. He was kind to others when he was alive, and his father often said that he was a real gentleman. I Although he is not from the same mother as him, he still treats me very well, in my heart, he is the best brother in the world."

"...After the death of Brother Dahuang, I never gave up on investigating this matter. Later, I really discovered some clues."

"what?"

"That medical genius." Gu Yi said, "He was silenced shortly after he cultivated the poisonous flower. However, he still left some fragments of records, and I found them. In those fragments, not only this How poisonous flowers are cultivated, and how to detoxify them are also recorded."

Gu Yan and Ye Zi looked at each other, Gu Yi smiled and said: "Finally back to the topic. Zicheng, now that Uncle Huang has told you everything, I will ask you one last time, would you like to work with me?" , Against Emperor Jinghe."

"Take back the country he took away from your father."

Gu Yan didn't answer.

There was a moment of silence in the house, and a needle could be heard falling.Ye Zi turned her head to look at Gu Yan, waiting for his answer.

This person, who was supposed to grow up safely under the protection of his parents, was raised as a prince, and eventually became a wise king like his father and grandfather.But because of the plague back then, his life was turned upside down.

In his previous life, he tried his best to regain everything he had, but he lost to fate, and finally suffered a crushing defeat.Now, he tried his best to avoid the struggle for imperial power, and tossed himself to the point of being riddled with holes.

Everything here is due to the person who is now sitting on the throne safely.

The hatred of killing his father and seizing the throne, even Ye Zi was furious in his heart.

As long as Gu Yan is willing to nod his head, he will accompany him without hesitation.

But Gu Yan just sighed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Sorry."

Gu Yi's eyes suddenly sank.

He took a deep breath, and suddenly sneered, "Gu Zicheng, Gu Zicheng, I really misjudged you. I thought that even if you behaved so uselessly, you shouldn't lose the integrity you should have. Okay, very good, Since you refuse to agree, I will not force you anymore."

Gu Yi stood up, straightened his clothes calmly, looked down at Gu Yan, and said lightly: "I put the prescription to cure the plague here in the house, you take it away, so that the plague here can be cured, so that you can get better." Emperor Jinghe invites credit and continues to return to Chang'an to be his dog. By the way, let the old man Jinghe prepare well, the next time we meet, we will meet each other in arms."

After Gu Yi said this, he turned and left the bedroom.

Gu Yi really did as he said, and left Guangling overnight.The next day, Gu Yan and Ye Zi found a prescription in his bedroom.There is only one sentence above: "Wild orchids, the poison is taken when the stamens enter the water, and the solution is when the roots are used as medicine."

In the powder that Gu Yi gave to Gu Yan earlier, the medicine that Pei Ge couldn't find out for a long time was the root of the orchid.

Gu Yan immediately told Pei Ge the news, and immediately arranged manpower to prepare the decoction for curing the disease.The decoction was distributed to various places, and after the patients drank it, the epidemic was quickly brought under control.

As for the disaster relief censor Mr. Feng, not long after he was imprisoned, he confessed to all his crimes, admitting that because of his own desire, he poisoned the people with the intention of framing Gu Yan.However, he refused to disclose where the poisonous flower came from.

On the second day after confessing his crime, Feng Yihai committed suicide in the prison, and there was no proof of his death.

Ye Zi walked into the room with a pot of tea, and Gu Yan was writing at the desk.

After Feng Yihai died in prison, Gu Yan hid what happened here from Gu Yi and did not mention it, and truthfully reported the rest to Emperor Jinghe.The plague was successfully contained, and Emperor Jinghe praised Gu Yan in the imperial decree, and named Gu Yan as the censor of disaster relief, and continued to stay in Guangling to control the flood.

The flood disasters in the south of the Yangtze River are getting better day by day, but Gu Yan still has no intention of returning to Chang'an.

Ye Zi put the tea on the side of the table, poured a cup and handed it to Gu Yan, then tilted his head and asked, "What are you writing?"

"A note for Emperor Jinghe." Gu Yan said, "I haven't handed him a note for several days. I'll be more conscious to save him from being suspicious."

Ye Zi responded, put the teacup in front of Gu Yan, sat down beside him, and didn't say much.

Gu Yan quickly finished writing the notebook, and found an attendant to send the notebook out, then turned to look at Ye Zi: "What's the matter, you look so preoccupied?"

"No." Ye Zi shook his head, leaning on Gu Yan's shoulder, "I was just thinking, when shall we go back?"

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Want to go back?"

"Not really." Ye Zi said, "It's just... I miss Que'er a little, and I don't know how he is now. The third prince, he..."

"According to the news from Chang'an, the third prince should have done something recently. The prince has fallen out of favor with Emperor Jinghe. Emperor Jinghe already intends to abolish the prince and replace him with the third prince." Gu Yan said, "Gu Ting It really didn't disappoint me."

Ye Zi smiled: "With you helping him secretly, if he can't even bring down a crown prince, wouldn't it be too useless?"

"It's hard to say." Gu Yan leaned on the back of the chair, gently stroking Ye Zi's hair, "I heard that Emperor Jinghe intends to suggest a marriage to Gu Min recently."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, then straightened up: "He—"

"Don't worry, he refused." Gu Yan reassured, "I heard that it was the first time he confronted Emperor Jinghe in public, and the old man was so angry that he was punished for several days in the Library Pavilion."

Even though this is the case, Ye Zi is still worried, and worried: "But how long will he last like this?"

Gu Yandao: "There has been no heir of the concubine in Gu Jun's room for a long time, and Gu Jun hid such a big person in his palace. I don't believe that Emperor Jinghe and Concubine Yu would be ignorant of this. Emperor Jinghe is probably I was afraid that Gu Xun would follow my old path and wanted to make that little sparrow a concubine, so I hurriedly referred to him as a concubine."

He said with a chuckle: "I don't care who I marry Jinghe, but it's not like this if it's his son. If he intends to make Gu Xing the crown prince, this concubine Gu Xing must marry."

Ye Zi's eyes darkened: "But in this way, Que'er..."

Gu Yan suddenly interrupted him: "Azi, you can't help me with this matter."

Gu Yandao: "It is difficult to have both in this world. As early as Gu Xun made up his mind to fight for the throne, he was destined to give up something. Now that he has made a move now, it proves that he has already paid the price." Get ready."

"...This is their fate."

Ye Zi didn't answer for a long time.Leaning in Gu Yan's arms, he suddenly asked softly, "What about you? Have you made a choice?"

Gu Yan froze.

Ye Zi said: "Zi Cheng, I was thinking just now, what should I do if we are the ones facing these things instead."

Gu Yan looked down at him with a gentle voice: "What will you do?"

Ye Zi pursed her lips and said seriously, "I will help you."

Gu Yan suddenly laughed softly: "So, this is why you have been so preoccupied these days? Why are you so stupid."

Ye Zi frowned slightly, and retorted: "I'm not stupid, I just—"

"You're not stupid anymore." Gu Yan interrupted him leisurely, and said, "Come on, little fool, stop thinking about these messy things. I heard Mr. Yue said that today is the annual Lantern Festival in Guangling, let's go, take You go and play."

As night fell, the city of Guangling was brightly lit.On the long street, all kinds of lanterns are hung on both sides of the road, reflecting the city like daylight.

Gu Yan dragged Ye Zi along the street.The two of them only dressed in common people's clothes, without attendants, and walked through the crowd in a low-key manner.The people of Guangling now know that Prince Rui lives in the city, but in the past it was rare to see Prince Rui's real face, so even if they saw them, they would not be able to recognize them.

But even if the identities of the two are not recognized, it still does not prevent them from attracting attention on the street.

Especially Gu Yan's face, even in Jiangnan where there are many beauties, his appearance is still one of the best.It didn't take long for the two of them to walk through the lantern festival, and Gu Yan had already received flower branches thrown by several women, and someone stopped the way to ask him his name and his family affairs.

It was the first time I saw Ye Zi, the folk customs in the Jiangnan area, and angrily said "This is my person" to the woman, and then pulled Gu Yan away quickly.

The two walked through the crowds on the street and took a rest on a stone bridge.

The flowing water under the stone bridge flows into the long river in the distance.People stood on the bank and threw lanterns into the river. The river lanterns floated slowly away on the river. On the river bank, several painted boats lined up, with bright red lanterns hanging on the bows, showing festive excitement.

Ye Zi stared at the river lantern in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

Gu Yan tilted his head to look at him, and said with a light smile, "Aifei, are you angry?"

Ye Zi said, "No."

"That's jealousy." Gu Yan smiled and said deliberately, "Why, only I received the flower branch, and no one gave it to you, so you are unhappy?"

"How can I—"

Ye Zi frowned at him, and was about to explode when Gu Yan immediately begged for mercy, "No, I was just joking with you."

Ye Zi lowered her head and ignored him.

Gu Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Do you want to put a lantern? I'll go and buy it."

Ye Zi said, "I'll be with you—"

"No need." Gu Yan interrupted him and said, "There are too many people below, just wait for me here."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he got off the bridge and quickly disappeared into the crowd.Ye Zi looked in the direction he left and sighed softly.

Whenever faced with matters concerning Gu Yan, he always felt a little worried about gain and loss.Worried that that person would abandon him for other things, and worried that that person would give up everything for him, and he would regret it later.

But just like the third prince and the little gray bird, some things can't be both, they always have to make some choices.

Perhaps it was because Gu Yan always acted with ease in front of him, which made him feel that that person would not have any troubles that he could not solve.But he forgot that that person was just an ordinary person.

That person can't escape the control of fate, and he can only give up some things for the sake of others.

But even if Gu Yan is willing, does he really want to imprison him with himself and make him give up so much for himself?

There were also more and more people on the stone bridge, Ye Zi looked in the direction Gu Yan left, but he still didn't see that familiar figure.Ye Zi frowned slightly, and was thinking about whether to find someone, when suddenly someone tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Ye Zi lowered her head, and beside her was a six or seven-year-old girl.

Ye Zi asked, "What's the matter?"

The little girl timidly said: "A big brother asked me to pass a message, get off the bridge and walk to the river bank, someone is waiting for you."

Most likely, after Gu Yan bought the river lantern, he found that there were too many people passing by, so he found a little girl to help him pass the message.

Ye Zi didn't think too much, nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Ye Zi followed the little girl's words and got off the stone bridge, walking towards the river bank.There were a lot of people by the river bank, Ye Zi spent a lot of effort to squeeze through, stood on the river bank and looked around for a while, but still did not see Gu Yan's figure.

Just then, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Ye Zi turned her head to see a pretty young woman.Holding a slender piece of red silk in her hand, the woman asked a little embarrassedly, "Is it Young Master Ye?"

Ye Zi nodded: "It's me."

The woman said: "A young master asked the little girl to deliver this object to the young master, and also asked the young master to blindfold the object."

Ye Zi was confused, and laughed, "Where is he now, why did he ask me to do this?"

The woman bit her lip lightly, and said in a low voice: "Young lady doesn't know, but that son said, if Master Ye doesn't wear this thing, he can't take you to him."

Ye Zi was silent.

I don't know what kind of tricks Gu Yan is playing.

He took the red silk and covered his eyes, before he could say anything, someone beside him handed him a piece of silk.The silk seemed to be extremely long, as soon as Ye Zi held it, someone held the other end of the silk and guided him forward.

Ye Zi was completely lost his temper by Gu Yan, so he patiently cooperated to see what other tricks he could play.

But soon, someone beside him said softly: "My lord, don't go any further."

The voice of the person who handed him the silk cloth just now was different, and it should have been changed.For some reason, the voice sounded a bit depressed, as if he was holding back a smile.

Ye Zi stood obediently, and heard the sound of the river lapping on the embankment.Suddenly, someone pushed him from behind.Ye Zi couldn't stand still for a moment, staggered a few steps forward, and fell into an embrace.

There were laughter from several women behind him, and as Ye Zi moved, the red silk on his eyes fell loosely.The first thing that caught his eyes was the ground covered with red silk.

They were standing on the prow of a painting boat.

This painted boat was much larger than what they had seen on the stone bridge before. The painted boat was paved with red silk and embellished with pearls, jade, and gold leaf, which was extraordinarily unique.An equally bright red lantern was hung on the bow of the boat, and it was swaying slowly with the slight night wind, and a big red "囍" was pasted on it.

Ye Zi's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Zi, Zi Cheng..."

Ye Zi raised his head in a daze, Gu Yan had already changed into a bright red robe at some point, which made his eyebrows more handsome.

Before Gu Yan could speak, someone suddenly pushed the painting boat under their feet.The boat shook slightly, Gu Yan quickly tightened his arms, hugging Ye Zi tighter.

Walking unsteadily along the river, the girl on the bank of the river could be heard shouting from a distance: "I wish the two young masters have a good relationship for a hundred years. We have agreed that one person will be ten taels, and I will find the young master to go tomorrow!"

Ye Zi's mind was filled with chaos, the laughter on the river bank seemed to come from far away, and everything around him became blurred.In the chaotic world, only this person was left holding him tightly.

The boat drifted with the waves, and the noise on the river bank gradually faded away. Gu Yan tilted his head uncomfortably, and said, "First, let's go in first."

Ye Zi nodded, and was obediently led by Gu Yan into the painting boat.

The Chinese character "囍" was also pasted inside the painting boat, bright red flower candles were placed on the table, and gold foil was sprinkled on the ground covered with red silk, which was exactly the arrangement for the wedding night in the bridal chamber.On the wooden hanger at the side, there was also a wedding robe similar to that worn by Gu Yan.

Gu Yan walked over to take off the wedding robe, untied Ye Zi's outer robe, and changed it for him.

Gu Yan dressed Ye Zi meticulously, and his voice was a little cramped: "This... This is the idea that I asked a few local young women, and they gave me their advice. I don't know if it scares you."

"I..." Ye Zi's eyes were slightly hot, he blinked, and said with a light smile, "Why are you doing this... We got married early tomorrow, and I've been Princess Rui for so long, why are you still playing this game? .”

"That's different." Gu Yan looked down at him with soft eyes, "We had some misunderstandings in Chang'an earlier, and the wedding banquet ended in a hasty end."

Gu Yan changed into the wedding robe for him, tidied it up properly, took a deep breath, and said in a gentle voice: "Azi, I can't do what ordinary people do, with three matchmakers and six hires, banquet guests, and solemnly marry you in. But other than that Besides, I won't let you suffer any grievances."

"...So I kept thinking, I can't let you follow me in such a muddle, I have to find a chance to make it up to you."

Tears rolled down Ye Zi's cheeks, Ye Zi turned his head, his voice trembling: "You don't have to be so nice to me, if you are like this, I..."

Gu Yan pulled him to the side of the bed and sat down, and gently wiped away his tears: "Azi, don't be afraid. You don't know how long I've been waiting for this day. When I thought I lost you, I almost Drive yourself crazy. It was you who pulled me back. Without you, I might have... Believe me, everything I do is from my heart, and you don't have to feel uneasy about it. "

"You are the princess I am marrying, and there is proof from heaven and earth."

Ye Zi's shoulders trembled violently, he rested his head on Gu Yan's shoulder, and it took a long time for a few small sobs to escape.

Gu Yan smiled helplessly, helped him up, and softly reprimanded him: "Why are you like this every time, you obviously don't like to cry in the past, but every time you encounter such a situation, you have to shed a few tears to spoil the fun .”

Ye Zi wiped his eyes, bit his lower lip: "I, I didn't."

He glanced around, changed the subject and said, "Aren't you going to get married? Why don't you even have a glass of wine in this room?"

Gu Yan laughed: "After drinking, do you want to fall asleep like last time?"

He leaned forward, kissed Ye Zi lightly on the eyes, leaned close to the other's ear, and said softly: "Princess Rui, do you think I will give you another chance?"

Ye Zi keenly sensed something from his words, and subconsciously wanted to run away.

Gu Yan easily grabbed the opponent's wrist, turned over and pressed him into the soft bed covered with crimson brocade.Layers of gauze curtains fell, hiding the overlapping figures in the red tent.
