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

Ye Zi remained silent.

That girl Jing has delicate features, a pair of apricot eyes revealing the spirit, and she is exquisite and charming.He had clearly never seen this person in front of him before, but for some reason, the expression on the girl's brow seemed to be familiar.

Ye Zi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss Jing, have we met somewhere?"

Miss Jing trembled all over as if startled, her fingers clenched her sleeves tightly, and said nervously: "No, no, we haven't seen it before!"

As she spoke, she looked up at Ye Zi with a guilty conscience, seeing that the latter was still staring at her, she quickly lowered her head like a quail, not daring to move anymore.

It's almost like writing "she's lying" on her face.

Ye Zi: "..."

Before Ye Zi could speak, Gu Yan took the lead and said, "The wedding banquet will be in two days, girl, it's better not to run around. Just bump into us, if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome."

Miss Jing was immediately discouraged, and said listlessly: "Oh, I see."

No one had ever dared to speak in such a tone in front of Prince Rui. The two court ladies next to Miss Jing almost knelt down in fright, and hurriedly said: "My lord atones, the young lady just entered the palace and doesn't understand the rules. Don't blame me, my lord." she."

Gu Yan shook his head and said, "It's okay, take her back."

"Yes."

The two maids left with the future princess. Ye Zi stared at the man's back for a while, then turned to look at Gu Yan. Before he could ask, Gu Yan took the lead and said, "Go back to the mansion first."

Ye Zi frowned, didn't say anything, and obediently followed Gu Yan out of the palace gate.

The two got on the carriage back to the palace, Ye Zi was still thinking about the girl Jing he met just now.Just as he was about to ask, Gu Yan suddenly said, "By the way, Emperor Jinghe asked me about the plague in the south of the Yangtze River."

This topic can be said to be very blunt.

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, then said, "What did he say?"

Gu Yandao: "He asked me how I found out the source of the plague, caught the poisoned Feng Yihai, and how I found the antidote."

Ye Zi was startled: "You...how did you say that?"

"Tell the truth." Gu Yandao, "I told him that Uncle Liu Huang helped me."

Ye Zi was shocked: "Then he..."

Gu Yan felt refreshed when he thought of Fang Caijing and the emperor's appearance, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "He was so angry that he almost lost his breath, he couldn't speak, so he had to send me away."

Ye Zi was shocked when he heard that, and said in a low voice: "Zicheng, it's too dangerous for you to do this, in case he suspects that you know the truth 20 years ago..."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Yan shook his head, "He brought this up in front of me today just to test whether I know what happened in the past. No matter what I say, he will doubt it. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he doubts me or not. , with Uncle Six standing in front of me, he can't move me for the time being."

"Now that the crown prince is about to be canonized, he doesn't dare to do anything rashly."

Ye Zi was thoughtful: "Zicheng, I always feel that this matter is not so simple."

"If the poisonous flower was really given to Feng Yihai by Emperor Jinghe, why did he let Feng Yihai spread the plague in the south of the Yangtze River just to harm you? Or... there is someone else."

Gu Yan took two cushions and put them behind Ye Zi, and hugged him into his arms: "Uncle Liu Huang never said that the doctor was invited by Emperor Jinghe to Chang'an."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."

Gu Yan's gaze drifted out of the window, and he said calmly: "Emperor Jinghe did what happened back then, but I guess he may not be the only one who knows about it."

Ye Zi whispered: "Then who else..."

Gu Yandao: "Although I am the one who went to Jiangnan now, you still remember that it was the prince who went to Jiangnan in the previous life. In the previous life, there was also a plague in Jiangnan. From this point of view, it seems that the person didn't just want me to stumble, and the other party didn't want me to fall. The prince went too well. Do you remember what happened next in your previous life?"

Ye Zi thought for a while, and said: "The prince returned to Chang'an, and was punished by Emperor Jinghe for improperly handling the flood and plague. The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty became more and more dissatisfied with him, and it didn't take long..."

Gu Yandao: "Not long after, Emperor Jinghe decreed to abolish the crown prince and replace Gu Xing as the crown prince."

"Gu Ting..." Ye Zi thought for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at him, "Do you want to say... that Concubine Yu did it?"

"Azi, don't you understand, who is that person is actually not important to us, and it is difficult to verify." Gu Yandao, "The important thing is that from the moment the plague is cured by me, Jing Jing An invisible sharp blade hangs over the head of Emperor He, and all those who are related to this matter and know the truth will become a part of that sharp blade.”

The corner of Gu Yan's mouth slowly curled into a smile: "He will be restless every day, unable to fall asleep, and always worried about what happened back then will be exposed."

Ye Zi looked at him fixedly.

He really didn't understand what was going on in Gu Yan's mind.Gu Yan never hesitated to show his hatred for Emperor Jinghe in front of Ye Zi, but other than that, he did not really want to overthrow that person.

On the contrary, he secretly helped Gu Xun seize power, and also helped Gu Yi conceal his rebellion. He involved himself, but he seemed to be out of these chaos.

This Chang'an is still peaceful now, but it may not be long before it should become bloody.

Thinking of this, Ye Zi suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Could this be Gu Yan's purpose?

Before Ye Zi could figure it out, the carriage quickly arrived not far from the palace. Ye Zi saw the gate of the palace from a distance, and subconsciously got out of Gu Yan's arms.

Gu Yan frowned, and squinted at him: "What are you doing?"

Ye Zi shrank to the other end of the carriage and sat down, guilty of not daring to look at him: "It's nothing."

Gu Yan didn't believe it at all, he got up and went to Ye Zi's side, and hugged him from behind: "What's wrong with my concubine all of a sudden?"

A hoarse voice maliciously penetrated Ye Zi's ear, Ye Zi flinched, and pushed his hand: "Don't make trouble, we're almost here."

"So what if we get there." Gu Yan said, "I'm hugging my concubine in my palace, does anyone dare to control me?"

Hugging didn't stop, as he said so, his fingers were caressing Ye Zi through the thin robe, as if he wanted to slide inward along the hem of the clothes.

Ye Zi pulled his wrist awkwardly, her voice trembling: "Zi Cheng, don't..."

Gu Yan stopped moving, but still maintained the posture of catching him, and said, "Then tell me, what happened?"

Ye Zi pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Yesterday the Grand Princess said..."

"say what?"

Ye Zi's ears turned slightly red, and she whispered, "Say you're in poor health, let me... let me stop pestering you..."

Gu Yan: "..."

Gu Yan took a deep breath, before he could say anything, the carriage shook slightly and stopped.Ye Zi quickly broke free from his arms, got out of the carriage first, and stretched out a hand towards him, as if to help him.

Gu Yan was so angry that he couldn't be more serious because of the serious expression on his face, but he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart when so many people were watching, and stretched out his hand to hold Ye Zi's hand, and he helped him out of the carriage .

At this time, in Concubine Yu's bedroom, Emperor Jinghe shouted in a hoarse voice with anger on his face, "Didn't you handle everything well back then? Why did King Jing know?"

Concubine Yu knelt down in front of him, lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine did execute that doctor according to His Majesty's request. Moreover, all the concubines related to him have been silenced. The concubine, the concubine really don't know..."

"You don't know..." Emperor Jinghe's voice was hoarse, "I told you earlier that you are not allowed to cultivate those flowers without permission, but you actually—"

Emperor Jinghe coughed violently twice, his face flushed red.

"Your Majesty!" Imperial Concubine Yu walked two steps forward on her knees, reaching out to grab the hem of his dragon robe, "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body, my concubine... I will go and investigate now, I must investigate the matter clearly!"

Emperor Jinghe gasped for a moment before finally regaining his strength, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, go and investigate. Those who knew the existence of orchids, their relatives, children, all for me to find out. No one can be kept."

Concubine Yu lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

Emperor Jinghe took a deep breath, tried his best to hold his breath, and said, "Concubine Yu, you should understand how you came to this position. If you hadn't offered the orchid flowers to me back then, you wouldn't have Today. I named Xun'er the Crown Prince, the world will be his sooner or later, if you are safe and sound, you should be able to sit securely as the Empress Dowager, but if you are restless..."

Emperor Jinghe bent down and whispered in her ear: "Just the crime of poisoning and murdering the former crown prince is enough for me to punish your nine clans."

After Emperor Jinghe finished speaking, he stood up tremblingly and walked towards the outside of the hall.Concubine Yu knelt down on the ground in a daze, her eyes trembled slightly, and she curled up on the ground as if afraid of the cold.After a long time, the sound of light footsteps slowly entered the hall.

Someone gently helped her up from behind.

Concubine Yu struggled, and the other party said softly, "Concubine Mother, it's me."

"Hang'er..."

Gu Xun helped Concubine Yu to the side of the seat and sat down, and poured her a cup of tea: "Mother, don't be afraid, I'm here for everything."

Concubine Yu's fingers trembled: "Did you hear that?"

"Yes."

Concubine Yu lowered her head and didn't say anything else. Gu Ting continued: "I won't tell anyone what happened today, please rest assured. As for what the emperor wants, if the concubine mother is willing to tell me what happened back then, I will I am willing to share the worries for my mother and concubine."

Concubine Yu shook her head again and again: "No, you can't be involved in this matter, this..."

"Mother and concubine still don't understand?" Gu Xing interrupted lightly, "If you don't explain this matter to the emperor, we will all have a hard time."

Concubine Yu was silent for a long time, then said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll tell you everything."

The palace people were screened out in the huge bedroom, and Concubine Yu's voice was low and low, and she slowly told Gu Xing what had happened back then.

Back then, she searched for an expert from the people, brought him to Chang'an, and asked him to secretly develop a poisonous flower for her.After the Wulan flower was successfully developed, she dedicated the flower to Emperor Jinghe, who was still the second prince at the time, which eventually caused a plague in Chang'an and the life of the prince.

After the matter was over, she followed Emperor Jinghe's order to silence the doctor and clean up the relevant personnel.

After many years, she thought that no one in this world should know about this, so she dared to re-cultivate the orchid flower.

But she didn't expect that someone else would know about it.

Gu Xing listened quietly, occasionally confirming some details with Concubine Yu.The corners of his mouth curled slightly, but he didn't smile, on the contrary, his brows looked more gloomy.

It's just that Concubine Yu's expression is in a trance now, and she didn't notice his abnormality.

"That's the way it is, Min'er, you must help me..." After Yu Guifei finished speaking, she looked at her adopted son who had been raised for many years pleadingly.

Gu Xing just lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "It's natural, but before that, I want to meet someone first, and I would like to ask my concubine to make it easier for me."

……

"Is that really a bird?" Ye Zi looked at Gu Yan in astonishment.

After he saw the girl from the Jing family in the imperial garden in the morning, he always felt strange.But at that moment, Gu Yan changed the topic, and then he returned to the mansion, and he forgot about it.

I didn't think of it until now.

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Indeed, that Miss Jing is that little sparrow."

"But..." Ye Zi couldn't believe it, and asked, "How...how did he become like that?"

"He was originally a demon, not a human being. Isn't it strange that he learned the art of transformation to look like someone else?" Gu Yan smiled and said, "It's only you, who say you are a fairy grass, but why? I don’t know spells, at most, it can only be eaten as medicine.”

Ye Zi frowned at him, and said angrily, "You despise me, don't you?"

Ye Zi broke free from Gu Yan's embrace, went to the bed and sat down: "Otherwise, you should find someone who knows magic. This world is so big, there are so many monsters, why do you have to stick to me?"

Gu Yan shook his head, leaned forward and coaxed him softly: "There are many monsters in this world, but I am only greedy for a small grass. What do you think is good?"

When Ye Zi heard what he said, her tightly pursed lips couldn't hold back, and she showed a little smile.

He loved Gu Yan's sweet words so much, even though he knew that the man was just trying to make him happy, he still couldn't hear enough.

During this period of getting along, Gu Yan figured out Ye Zi's preferences and became more proficient in dealing with him.

Ye Zi had just calmed down after being coaxed by him, and immediately thought of something else, and asked suspiciously, "Wait, when did you know it was Que'er?"

Gu Yan was rarely speechless, he turned his head and did not answer.

Ye Zi knew something was wrong when he saw him like this, and asked, "You didn't know it from the beginning, did you?"

Gu Yan was silent for a moment, then responded softly: "Yes."

"then you--"

"Listen to me." Gu Yan explained, "I know you have always been worried about that little sparrow, so I asked Si Wei to send someone to keep an eye on him. Concubine Yu took him out of the palace that day. He killed him. I made people use their hands and feet to save Que'er."

Gu Yandao: "Afterwards, I contacted Daoist Guangxu and asked him to teach Que'er a trick to transform. The little sparrow looked silly, but his talent was good. After a few days of practice, he mastered it. I simply asked him to transform into a trick. Acting like a woman, I arranged for a rich family from the Jing family to participate in the selection of the prince's concubine as the youngest daughter of the Jing family."

"So that's how it is," Ye Zi replied, and reproached, "In this way, you knew he was fine early in the morning, so why didn't you tell me, it made me worry all the way!"

"Sorry." Gu Yan rubbed his hair and explained, "When I sent Que'er to the palace to choose a concubine, I wasn't sure if he would be able to stand out smoothly, so I didn't dare to tell you, lest you just rejoice in vain. .Later...After the crown princess was settled, I couldn't find the right time to say that I was wrong."

Ye Zi pouted, reluctantly agreeing to his explanation.He thought for a while, and then asked: "Don't the third prince know about this?"

Gu Yan shook his head: "He hasn't seen 'Miss Jing' yet, so he probably doesn't know."

Ye Zi sighed softly: "The way I saw him recently, he really didn't seem to know anything. You really, why didn't you explain the matter to him first. If it were me, you would be taken away Life and death are uncertain, I will definitely go crazy..."

Gu Yan lowered his eyes: "Of course I have my reasons."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment: "What is your plan?"

Gu Yan smiled and said, "It depends on how far Gu Xing can go for that little sparrow."

After hearing Gu Yan's words, Ye Zi's doubts arose again.He pondered for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Zicheng, what are you thinking in your heart?"

Gu Yan turned his head to look at him: "What do you mean?"

Ye Zi pursed his lips lightly, and said in a low voice: "Emperor Jinghe...he harmed your father and you, but why did you..."

"Why didn't you agree to the Sixth Uncle's rebellion?" Gu Yan completed his words, and said calmly, "Azi, you asked me about this in Guangling. What about you, why do you think I didn't agree?"

Ye Zi hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Is it because... are you worried that he will not be able to escape the ending of his previous life?"

"Of course not." Gu Yan smiled and said, "The Six Emperors failed in the previous life because of my obstruction. If I promise to help him in this life, we will belong to this world."

"Then why..."

"But Ah Zi, what am I going to do with the world?" Gu Yan hugged Ye Zi's arm tightly, and whispered to himself, "I just want those people to pay the price they deserve."

In the end, Gu Yan only said this sentence, and refused to say the rest no matter how Ye Zi asked.A few days passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the prince's canonization ceremony and the wedding banquet of the concubine.

On this day, red silk was hung in the imperial city, exuding lively joy from inside to outside.In a slightly remote palace, a green shadow jumped across the wall.The eunuch guarding the gate turned his head and glanced in that direction, but saw nothing, and frowned wonderingly.

On the other side, Ye Zi leaned against the wall, hid herself in the grass, and let out a long breath.

Several palace people were busy, Ye Zi judged the direction slightly, and walked towards the bedroom.

In the dormitory, there were faint voices of dispute.

"Is it alright if I don't paint this? If I paint it like this, my face will be stained. He won't be able to recognize me." It was the voice of that "Miss Jing".

A palace maid next to her said: "Young lady, how can you not wear makeup when you get married? Don't worry, the slaves will dress you up beautifully."

"But..." She wanted to say something more, but she couldn't resist the insistence of several court ladies, so she obediently sat in front of the vanity mirror and put on her makeup.

Ye Zi squatted by the window and waited quietly. After several court ladies finished her makeup, covered her with a red hijab, and opened the door to leave, she quietly crept into the room through the window.

The pretty woman was sitting on the bed, muttering nonsense, not even noticing something approaching.

Ye Zi wobbled to her side, stretched out his whiskers and tugged at the hem of the wedding robe: "Hello."

The little gray bird was startled by the sound, lifted its hijab to look, but saw a small green grass squatting at its feet, couldn't help but blurted out: "Little..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

The little gray bird seemed to have thought of something, pursed her lips, and asked in superfluous feigned surprise: "You, who are you?"

Ye Zi: "..."

Ye Zi climbed onto the bed, sat down on the bed unceremoniously, and then said, "Que'er, stop pretending."

The little gray bird was taken aback for a moment, blinked, and asked curiously: "How do you know it's mine?"

Ye Zi said: "Gu Yan told me."

The little gray bird said "Oh", and said angrily: "My lord, he really doesn't mean anything. He clearly said before that he couldn't reveal my identity, but he actually told you himself."

Ye Zi shook his head, and the two grass roots dangled leisurely on the edge of the bed, without saying anything.

The little gray bird suddenly bent down and wrapped his palms around him, those almond eyes that were very similar to the past shone brightly: "But, little leaf, you can come to see me, I'm so happy."

He paused, and said aggrievedly: "You don't know, I'm almost bored to death during this time. Daoist Guangxu said that I don't have enough spiritual power, so I won't let me change my appearance casually. Those people also don't let me see Ah Xun , I don’t even want to take a peek at him. You’re not here..."

Ye Zi stretched out her tendrils and patted his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm coming back right now?"

The little gray sparrow poked Ye Zi's leaf tip, and said, "Yes, you've come back. I thought you'd gone so far with the lord, and you'd never come back."

"No." Ye Zi smiled, "How could I leave you behind?"

"This is the best." The little gray bird lay on the bed without any image, and said, "I'm so used to this appearance, I don't know how Ah Xun will react when he sees me."

He imagined the person's reaction for a while, and he didn't know what he thought of, and smiled foolishly: "You said he would be frightened when he found out that the princess was actually me."

Ye Zi turned her head to look at him, and for some reason, some bad premonitions flashed in her heart.

It should be said that since meeting Gu Xun that day, he has never been able to calm down.Even after knowing that Little Gray Finch was fine, the unease in his heart did not subside.

Because of this, he came to find Little Gray Finch before the canonization ceremony started.

He was always worried if he didn't see this person with his own eyes.

But today he expressed his uneasiness to Gu Yan, and after he wanted to meet Little Gray Sparrow, Gu Yan did not object.

Ye Zi imitated the appearance of little gray sparrows, lying side by side on the bed, talking one after another.Some time later, someone knocked on the door hastily.

"Miss Jing, Miss Jing, something is wrong!"

Several court ladies pushed the door open, Ye Zi hurriedly hid under the bed, Little Gray Bird stood up and looked at them: "What's wrong?"

The maids knelt down on the ground and said anxiously: "The news just came from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he suddenly fell ill!"

The little gray bird tilted its head, looking out of the ordinary: "Suddenly? Isn't he always sick?"

The maid was so anxious that her tears rolled down her cheeks, she choked up and said, "No, Your Majesty had a fever last night. The imperial physician gave him medicine and then fell asleep, but he couldn't get up early this morning. Just now the imperial physician went to see him again and said That disease... that disease..."

"What's the matter?"

The maid said: "The imperial doctor said that the disease is exactly the same as the plague that happened in Jiangnan earlier!"
