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

The little gray bird was awakened by the jolt.He was lying in the middle of a soft and warm cushion, his rounder body sank slightly, and his fluffy feathers fluttered and trembled slightly with his breathing.

The little gray bird opened its eyes, blinked its round eyes, and saw Gu Xing sitting beside him.

"Ah... Where are we?" They were in a carriage. This carriage was different from Prince Luan's. The kind commonly used by ordinary people.

Gu Xun didn't answer, he stretched out his hand to hold the little gray bird in his palm, and combed his soft fur with his fingertips.

The little gray bird gradually came to his senses, and asked doubtfully, "We were not in the barracks before, where are we going? No more wars?"

Gu Xing looked down at him, and replied, "Well, we won't fight any more."

"Shall we go back to Chang'an?"

Gu Hao seemed to be hesitant, he paused for a moment, and asked tentatively: "If I say we won't go back to Chang'an..."

The little gray bird looked up at him: "If we don't go back to Chang'an, where are we going?"

Gu Xun said: "Go to a place with green mountains and beautiful waters."

The little gray bird nodded half-understanding, and asked: "Then when shall we go back to Chang'an?"

Gu Xun said: "In the near future... Maybe for a long time, we will not go back."

The little gray bird lowered its head, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I won't go back if I don't go back."

Gu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You don't want Princess Rui anymore?"

"I think so, but didn't you tell me that, if I miss him, I can fly back to see him at any time." Little Gray Sparrow thought for a while and promised, "But don't worry, I won't leave often."

The little gray bird said solemnly: "There are often such stories in the story books. After the husband went away, he left his wife alone at home to guard the empty boudoir, suffering from lovesickness. I am reluctant to let you do the same."

Gu Xun: "..."

Gu Xun closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "If you really don't want me to be like this, you might as well change back earlier."

The little gray sparrow asked: "What did you say?"

"……fine."

"You said it's all right, I heard it all." The little gray bird said angrily, "Do you not like my appearance? You used to praise me for being good-looking, it was all a lie."

"I do not--"

"Why not." The little gray bird spread its wings and raised its wings towards Gu Jun, "You have fed me so much recently, do you want me to change back soon? But eating is of no use at all, instead it makes me fat so fast If you can’t get up, you won’t get back at all.”

Gu Xun looked at the small round ball in his hand whose neck was almost invisible, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth a little: "...you are not fat."

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"I do not have."

"Why not, you just laughed!"

"..."

When the news of the prince's entire army being wiped out and missing was sent back to Chang'an, it was not yet fully dawn.The eunuch who came from the palace to deliver the news cried and finished the news, but Gu Yan restrained himself from getting out of bed, and in turn comforted him with a good voice, and sent his servants to send him out of the palace.

When Gu Yan returned to the bedroom, Ye Zi fell asleep with the quilt in his arms.

They just talked about this in the courtyard, the eunuch cried so hard that it was at the level where others could hear the voice but couldn't understand the content.Sensing Gu Yan's return, Ye Zi stepped in and complained vaguely: "Who is mourning in the early morning..."

Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed his forehead, coaxing softly: "No one, go to sleep."

"Yeah." Ye Zi waited for Gu Yan to lie down, closed his eyes and burrowed into his arms, found a comfortable position and fell asleep again.

Gu Yan didn't feel much sleepiness, he was lost in thought with Ye Ziwu in his arms, wondering what he was thinking.

When Ye Zi woke up, it was already dawn.

He stretched contentedly, rubbed against Gu Yan's arms, opened his eyes, and Gu Yan was looking down at him tenderly.

"Good morning, Zicheng." Ye Zi leaned forward and kissed Gu Yan's cheek, and asked, "Are there any matters in the palace today?"

Gu Yan said: "Yes."

Ye Zi turned her head to look at him: "Then why are you still here?"

Gu Yan stroked his messy hair and sat up: "Seeing that you are sound asleep, I don't want to wake you up."

"You..." Ye Zi said, "Fortunately, you are only a prince now. If you really become the lord of the world, if you act like this, I'm afraid I will be pointed at the back and scolded as a monster that harms the country and the people."

Gu Yan also laughed and said, "Who dares to scold you, I will punish him."

Ye Zi smiled nonchalantly, turned over and got out of bed, went to the clean room to wash his face.Ye Zi took the clear water and patted it on his face, sobered up a bit, and then he remembered something: "Did someone come from the palace in the morning? Did something happen?"

Gu Yan was pushing the door and ordering the maid to prepare breakfast. When he heard the words, he closed the door and turned his head: "There is an accident. It is said that Gu Xun led an elite army to try to attack the enemy camp yesterday, fell into a trap, and the whole army was wiped out."

Ye Zi was startled, and the handkerchief in his hand fell into the basin.

The drops of water on his face slid down his chin, his expression was stunned, and there was a bit of ignorance in his eyes.

Gu Yan loved his cute appearance so much, he reached out and wiped the water droplets on his face: "Azi, what's the matter, are you scared?"

Ye Zi grabbed Gu Yan's wrist, his voice was trembling with anxiety: "This... Gu Xun is dead? That--that bird..."

"Don't worry, listen to me." Gu Yan wiped off the water droplets on his face, pulled him out, and went to give him a wooden comb to comb his hair. "Not long ago, Gu Yan sent someone to give me a A letter, he told me his plan."

Ye Zi looked up at him: "His plan? You mean..."

The corner of Gu Yan's mouth raised an arc, and he said helplessly, "He, this is a trick for me."

Gu Yandao: "Emperor Jinghe's time is not long. The world cannot be without a king for a day. Sooner or later, Gu Jun will ascend to the throne of God. It stands to reason that if he wants to stabilize the country, Emperor Jinghe is critically ill during this time. It's his time to perform."

"He put the life of Emperor Jinghe in my hands, and he didn't care about what I did. I thought he was trying to repay me for helping him, but now I understand that he may have I have a plan to escape."

Gu Yan carefully helped Ye Ziguan hair, and said with a low laugh: "That guy, he left me a mess, and he took his sweetheart away to have a good time."

After hearing Gu Yan's words, Ye Zi finally understood: "So... is he suspended animation?"

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes."

"It turned out that Concubine Yu suddenly fell insane in the bedroom. It was not a coincidence. Gu Jun asked me to find the medicine from Pei Ge." Gu Yan said, "Gu Jun borrowed the hands of Concubine Yu and gave it to Emperor Jinghe. poison, and repeated the same tricks to drive Concubine Yu crazy, just to destroy the evidence and walk away cleanly."

Ye Zi couldn't figure it out: "Gu Xun has put in so much effort to get to the crown prince with great difficulty, so he gave up so easily?"

Gu Yan helped him crown his hair well, and put down the wooden comb: "Ah Zi, do you still remember what I told you earlier, it's hard to have both in this world, and Gu Xun has already made his choice."

"Then..." Ye Zi pursed her lips, and asked, "What should I do next? The former crown prince was demoted, and Gu Jun left all this and left. Emperor Jinghe's time is running out, this..."

"That's why I said, Gu Xun is taking revenge on me." Gu Yan smiled, "I'm afraid he still remembers the fact that I used him to poison Emperor Jinghe before, so he left this tricky mess to me. I."

"Zicheng, you..." Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, vaguely understanding what Gu Yan meant.

Gu Yan didn't say any more, just said: "Let's not say more, I'm going to the palace. The old man Jinghe's condition has worsened in the past few days. If he is pissed to death at this juncture, the world will really be in chaos. .”

Gu Yan paused, and said in a low voice: "At least, let him leave the imperial edict before he dies."

Ye Zi said, "I'll go with you."

Gu Yan wanted to refuse, but Ye Zi said again: "I'll just wait for you outside, stay closer to you, I can rest assured."

At this moment, Chang'an City is already a desolate scene.

Chang'an seemed to have entered winter overnight. The cold wind lingered bleakly in the streets and alleys. There were no people on the streets, and there was a dull silence.

Ye Zi put down the curtain of the carriage, and sighed lightly.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

The country is already in turmoil, King Jing is well prepared to send troops this time, and the army is like a broken bamboo.With Gu Xun's obstruction, it might be delayed for a while.

But now, maybe within five days, King Jing should come to Chang'an.

The carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion arrived outside the palace, and the two got out of the carriage and walked towards Emperor Jinghe's bedroom.Walking to the door of the bedroom, Gu Yan paused for a moment, and frowned imperceptibly.

Ye Zi noticed his abnormality, tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yan shook his head imperceptibly, but said nothing.

The guards outside the Jinghe Emperor's bedroom had already been replaced by Gu Yan's men. He looked at the guards outside the door and asked, "Has Your Majesty heard the news?"

"I don't know yet." The guard replied, "Your Majesty went to bed early last night, and has been in a bad mood today. He lay down after drinking the medicine this morning, and no one is allowed to go in to disturb him. Just now, the subordinate asked someone to go in and see, It seems that he is still asleep, so he dare not disturb him."

The suspicion in Gu Yan's eyes was even worse, he was about to open the door and enter, when Ye Zi suddenly said, "I'll go in with you."

Gu Yan nodded, and the two walked into it together.

In the inner room of the dormitory, Emperor Jinghe was lying on the bed with his back to the outside, seemingly sound asleep.There was silence in the bedroom, the two looked at each other, and walked towards the bed silently.

Gu Yan lifted the bed curtain, and a silver light flashed in front of his eyes.

A long sword stabbed towards Gu Yan from the bed curtain.

"Zi Cheng!" Ye Zi exclaimed, pushed Gu Yan away, dodged forward, jumped over the edge of the sword, and grabbed the hand of the man holding the sword.The bed curtain fell during the dispute between the two, and Ye Zi saw clearly that the person in front of him was not Emperor Jinghe at all.

This man was wearing the dragon robe of Emperor Jinghe, with a youthful face and a vigorous hand, he was obviously a dedicated assassin.He flipped his wrist and broke away from Ye Zi's hand, and the sword was about to continue stabbing towards Ye Zi as soon as he turned.

Ye Zi didn't bring a sword, and fought with his opponent with bare hands, but he didn't show any disadvantage.Gu Yan only took one look, and he could already see that the man was not Ye Zi's opponent, he didn't step forward to help, but just quietly waited on the spot with his arms folded.

His mind was spinning, as if he was thinking about something.

The man gradually lost the wind, Ye Zi took advantage of his unpreparedness, snatched the man's accompanying sword in one fell swoop, and stabbed the man's throat.

The sound of fighting in the hall caught the attention of the guards outside, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and a team of guards rushed in.Seeing the situation in the hall, the guards all drew out their knives and surrounded the assassin.

Ye Zi seemed to have never heard of it, and asked, "Who are you? Where is Your Majesty now?"

Seeing that the situation was over, the man grabbed Ye Zi's sword and stabbed at his neck.

"you--"

With the sound of a sharp blade piercing the flesh, before Ye Zi could pull out his hand, the man had already cut his own throat with the blade of the sword.He fell slowly to the ground, blood staining the dragon robe on his body.

Ye Zi threw the sword and looked up at Gu Yan: "It's a dead man."

Gu Yan responded, and ordered the head of the guards: "Spread the news, His Majesty has been kidnapped, and his life and death are uncertain. Send people to search inside and outside the imperial city immediately, and don't let any place go. Also, from this moment onwards, inside and outside the imperial city No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission."

"Obey." The guard took the order, and looked at the gradually cooling corpse in the center of the bedroom, "Then this..."

Gu Yan glanced at the corpse, and said calmly: "Drag it down, find out where he came from."

He paused, and then said: "Such a large living person sneaked into the palace and even broke into His Majesty's bedroom. You didn't realize it at all... If His Majesty makes any mistakes, you will all go to be buried with him."

"Yes."

At the same time, in a secluded dormitory in the imperial city, Emperor Jinghe coughed twice and sat up, and someone beside him immediately offered him a bowl of warm water.Emperor Jinghe drank from the man's hand and waved his hand.

There was no makeup on the queen's face, and there was a bit of sadness in her expression: "Your Majesty, it's only been a few days, why are you so ill?"

Emperor Jinghe glanced at her and shook his head: "This disease is just like this. It's not easy for me to live to this day."

Tears welled up in the Queen's eyes: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Jinghe didn't care about her appearance, and asked, "You said earlier that Sheng'er got the cure for this disease?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen replied, and turned her head to look outside again, "Sheng'er, your father is awake, come in quickly."

After her words fell, the former crown prince Gu Sheng just walked into the palace.

Gu Sheng is the same age as Gu Yan, but he looks tougher, with a bit of heroism between his brows, and he is also the tallest among the brothers.It's a pity that at this time his expression was sluggish, and he didn't even dare to look at Emperor Jinghe. He seemed to have low morale, and he was a bit timid.

Gu Sheng was appointed as the prince several years ago, but he has been criticized for being mediocre and incompetent, and it is difficult for him to take on a big role.Not long ago, Gu Sheng was accused of enriching his own pockets and misbehaving, which finally offended Emperor Jinghe, deposed him as the crown prince, and stayed in the palace to face his mistakes.

Since then, he has not shown his face in front of people for a long time.

He walked up to Emperor Jinghe, bowed to Emperor Jinghe, and said, "I send my respects to Emperor Father."

Emperor Jinghe snorted coldly and said, "Raise your head and speak."

"Yes." Gu Sheng raised his head, first looked at the queen next to Emperor Jinghe, then set his eyes on Emperor Jinghe, and then said slowly, "Father, my son has indeed found a cure for your illness." Way, as long as you use that medicine, not only can you be cured of the plague on your body, but it can also cure all your old diseases.”

Emperor Jinghe asked, "What kind of medicine has such a miraculous effect?"

Just as Gu Sheng was about to answer, the Queen spoke first and interrupted him: "Just now when His Majesty fell asleep, the concubine had already fed His Majesty a bowl. Does His Majesty feel more comfortable now?"

Hearing what she said, Emperor Jinghe felt that his body was indeed much lighter and more comfortable, and even his fever subsided.

Emperor Jinghe's eyes showed a bit of surprise, and he asked, "Is it really caused by the soup?"

"Exactly." The queen nodded and said with a smile, "Sheng'er obtained the prescription by accident. It is said that it can cure all kinds of poisons and cure all diseases. If we hadn't obtained this medicine, how dare we take the risk and secretly take your majesty's medicine?" Transported out of the bedroom?"

Emperor Jinghe seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was slightly lowered.

The queen said again: "Your Majesty, Prince Rui is a wolf, and he keeps you in the bedroom for treatment in name, but in fact it is no different from house arrest. In order to rescue you, Sheng'er and I spent a lot of energy."

Emperor Jinghe said indifferently: "I know that you have expended all your efforts to cure my illness. After I recover, I will naturally reward you."

The queen frowned imperceptibly, quickly calmed down her expression, and said calmly, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

She paused, and then said: "It's just that His Majesty's disease, if you want to completely cure it, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

Emperor Jinghe turned his head to look at her and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The queen lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Although the bowl given to His Majesty is an antidote, the effect of the medicine is not enough to completely detoxify your body. If you want to completely detoxify, you have to take a few more doses. "

Emperor Jinghe vaguely understood what she meant, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he asked, "What do you want?"

The queen seemed to have been prepared for a long time, she signaled Gu Sheng to go to the side table and took something.Gu Sheng presented the thing in front of Emperor Jinghe, and Emperor Jinghe glanced at it, it was a blank imperial edict.

Emperor Jinghe said indifferently: "What does the empress mean?"

The queen got up and took the imperial decree from Gu Sheng, and smiled at Chao Jing and the emperor: "As long as your majesty is willing to issue an edict on this imperial decree, abdicate voluntarily, and let Sheng'er succeed you, the ministers and concubines will definitely offer the antidote to you personally." Come on, cure your majesty's old illness."

Emperor Jinghe sneered suddenly, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse: "So what if I don't write?"

The queen's expression changed, and she tried to persuade her with a steady voice: "Your Majesty, why don't you want to? Think about it, if you don't make your son a crown prince, your country will be destroyed by Prince Rui or Prince Jing took it away. Are you willing to hand over the world like this?"

"...Although my Wen family's lineage is weak, I don't want the country to fall into the hands of rebels. If you promise, we will do our best to save the world from suffering."

Emperor Jinghe laughed hoarsely: "It's a good one to save the world from fire and water. After all, you just want to get the world, do you want to be the empress dowager?"

"Your Wen family is so powerful, do you think I don't know anything? Do you think I'm really a good-for-nothing at the mercy of others?"

The queen's expression turned cold: "Your Majesty, are you really unwilling?"

Emperor Jinghe closed his eyes and did not answer.

After a long while, the queen said: "I know why your majesty is unwilling. Because your majesty has already appointed a new crown prince, even if your majesty dies now, the throne must belong to the crown prince, right?"

The corner of the Queen's mouth slowly curled up, and said softly: "Your Majesty doesn't know yet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raided the enemy camp last night and fell into a trap, and now he is dead without a whole body."

Emperor Jinghe suddenly opened his eyes, and said in a daze, "What did you say?"

The sky was getting dark, but the imperial city was brightly lit.

When the emperor suddenly disappeared in the bedroom, he beat everyone to the point of rubbing their hands, and all the guards in the palace were sent to search everywhere, but the whereabouts of Emperor Jinghe were not found for a long time.

Standing on the high pavilion, Ye Zi looked at the imperial city under his feet lit up by torches like daylight, and felt as if he had passed away for a while.

In his previous life, he also stood here, watching the enemy army enter the imperial city, and the flames burned the magnificent palace into ruins.

"What are you doing here?"

Gu Yan's voice came from behind, Ye Zi turned around and smiled at him: "Wait for you."

Gu Yan walked over, wrapped him in his arms, and said softly, "Are you worried?"

"One thing." Ye Zi said truthfully, "Emperor Jinghe hasn't been found yet, and King Jing is watching outside, so I can't calm down."

Gu Yan hugged him tighter, and said, "Don't worry, it's just a fight between trapped beasts."

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Zi Cheng, have you...haven't made up your mind yet?"

Gu Yan paused and closed his eyes slightly.

"I understand." Ye Zi said: "You said earlier that it is difficult to have both things in this world, so if you want to get one, you have to give up the other. In fact, you have already set the most correct path in front of you, but you have not been able to do it for a long time. I made up my mind, so I don’t want to go up.”

Ye Zi paused, and said again: "Actually, you don't have to worry about me. I understand what you want to do, and I support your ideas. Don't say it's you, even if you want me to let go of all this, I won't let it go."

He once told Ye Zi that he didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial power in this life, let alone the life and death of the world.But when the crisis came, none of them could let it go.

Gu Yan's fingertips trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Azi, I..."

Before he could finish his words, a guard's voice suddenly came from behind him: "My lord, we found something, we..."

The guard was halfway through speaking, only to realize the posture of the two people in front of him, his cheeks flushed immediately, and he couldn't speak clearly: "That...we found, found..."

Gu Yan frowned, and was about to speak when Ye Zi grabbed his sleeve and kissed him lightly on the lips: "Let's go and have a look first, and it won't be too late to talk about other things after you settle down."

Gu Yan's expression softened a little, he nodded and said, "Wait for me to come back."

On the other side, Jing and Di Youyou opened their eyes, only to feel buzzing in their heads.Only then did he realize that after hearing the news just now, he fainted out of breath.

Beside him, the empress was giving him water and smooth air, with a rare anxious expression.

Seeing that he was awake, the queen was about to say something, but was interrupted by Emperor Jinghe's hand.

He gasped twice, and said in a deep voice, "Help me up."

"His Majesty?"

Emperor Jinghe tried his best to look up at her, and said, "The imperial edict... go write it on the table."

A smile appeared on the queen's face, she helped Emperor Jinghe up, and walked towards the table case.During this period of time, Emperor Jinghe has shown his aging state, and he has been broken.Just the movement of walking from the bed to the desk already made him out of breath.

The queen was grinding the pen beside him, Emperor Jinghe spread out the imperial decree, picked up the pen tremblingly, and began to write slowly on the paper.Emperor Jinghe wrote very slowly, and the empress watched intently, her expression gradually softening.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door.

The queen's expression changed: "Could it be that someone from Prince Rui has come here?"

Gu Sheng panicked, and hurriedly said: "Queen, what should I do? I... I'll go out and stop them."

"No, let me go." The queen quickly calmed down, turned her head to Emperor Jinghe and said, "Your Majesty, the Wen family is waiting outside the imperial city, and they will rush into the imperial city as soon as the concubine gives an order. , to protect His Majesty's safety. The concubine will block it for you first when you go out, and you should finish writing this edict quickly, Prince Rui has nothing to fear."

"Okay, you can go." Emperor Jinghe replied leisurely without raising his head.

The queen opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, she just told Gu Sheng to wait here, and then turned her head to deal with the guards.

Gu Sheng and Emperor Jinghe were the only ones left in the dormitory for a while. Gu Sheng stood in front of the desk with his head down, not even daring to look at Emperor Jinghe, with an expression of anxiety.

Emperor Jinghe seemed to be out of spirits, stopped writing for a while, and looked up at him: "Sheng'er, raise your head up, I want to talk to you."

Gu Sheng dodged his eyes and raised his head slowly.

Emperor Jinghe tried his best to smile, with a hoarse voice: "Wen's clan has produced generals for generations, and my queen is Miss Wen's family, who is as bold as a man. But you...why don't you inherit your mother's strategy at all? "
