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

In the dark bedroom, there was a moment of silence.

Emperor Jinghe quietly looked at his son who was the least promising. On his pale face, only those eyes had the ability to see through people's hearts.Even though he was riddled with wounds and was too sick to crawl, he still carried the majesty of an emperor, making people dare not look at him.

Gu Sheng's face became hot when he said it, and he said embarrassingly: "Father, father, son..."

"Forget it, you don't need to answer." Emperor Jinghe withdrew his gaze, looked down at the edict in front of him, and said, "Sheng'er, if you want the throne, I can give it to you, but do you think you can sit still?"

Gu Sheng was startled, but did not answer.

"When the emperor changes, it is the time when people are most likely to be taken advantage of." Emperor Jinghe said in a calm tone, "Now there is King Jing stalking outside the city of Chang'an, and the power of the Rui king in the imperial city is overwhelming. Even I can't bring it back. You May I?"

"I... Erchen, the Wen family..."

"The Wen family?" Emperor Jinghe chuckled, "The Wen family just treats you like a chess piece, a puppet."

Gu Shenghang tightened his hands by his side, and lowered his voice: "Father, let's finish writing the imperial edict quickly."

"Write, I naturally want to write." Emperor Jinghe took up the pen again unhurriedly, while writing, he said leisurely, "But Sheng'er, Father, I want to remind you that sometimes you want too much, but the loss outweighs the gain."

Gu Sheng lowered his eyes and did not answer. After a while, Emperor Jinghe finally put down the pen in his hand.With his haggard fingers, he lightly stroked the imperial decree in front of him, slowly rolled it up, threw it lightly, and threw it at Gu Sheng's feet.

Afterwards, Emperor Jinghe leaned on the back of the chair and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Sheng hurriedly bent down to pick up the imperial decree, his eyes showed a bit of ecstasy.He was about to unfold the imperial decree when Emperor Jinghe suddenly said, "The medicine you gave me was given to you by King Jing, right?"

Gu Sheng froze, raised his eyes in a daze, and subconsciously opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

As soon as Emperor Jinghe saw his reaction, he knew that what he expected was right.

"Sheng'er, what I said was wrong just now, you are not good at calculating." He chuckled hoarsely, "You are controlled by the queen and the forces of the Wen family behind her, even if you become the throne, you can only be under their control forever Next. You know that too well."

"So... you find King Jing to cooperate."

"You sent a message to King Jing to let him go all the way to Chang'an without any hindrance. King Jing gave you medicine that can cure my internal diseases, and asked you to use this threat to exchange for the throne. What else did he promise you? You eradicate the Wen family and share the world with you, right?"

Gu Sheng's voice trembled: "You..."

Before he could say anything, the door of the bedroom was knocked open, and a team of guards rushed in.The guards rushed into the inner room and surrounded Gu Sheng.After the crowd, Gu Yan walked in slowly with the escorted queen.

Gu Yan saluted Emperor Jing and asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Emperor Jinghe glanced at him, but did not answer.

Gu Yan straightened up, turned his head and told the guards: "The empress and the second prince hijacked the Holy Majesty, with evil intentions, take them down."

"Stop!" Gu Sheng yelled, and raised the imperial edict in his hand, "Father has already issued an edict to pass on the throne to me, who of you dare to move?"

When the guards heard the words, they didn't dare to move, and subconsciously looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan frowned imperceptibly, walked up to Gu Sheng, and snatched the imperial edict from his hand.Gu Yan slowly unfolded the imperial decree, his eyes downcast.

After a while, Gu Yan took a deep breath and said lightly, "Catch it."

The smile on Gu Sheng's face froze, and he shouted: "Who dares you! Gu Yan, this edict is right in front of you, can you resist the edict and seek rebellion?"

Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at him, placed the imperial edict safely on the table, and slowly unfolded it: "This is indeed an imperial edict, which is good, but don't look at it, does it have your name on it?"

Hearing what Gu Yan said, Gu Sheng rushed to the imperial decree.

The content of the imperial decree is indeed that Emperor Jinghe intends to abdicate and establish another prince.But the line where the name of the crown prince who succeeded the throne should have been written was blank.

Gu Sheng trembled all over, raised his head to look at Emperor Jinghe, his eyes were so red that they were almost bloodshot, and it took him a while to find his voice: "You...are you kidding me?"

Emperor Jinghe looked at him calmly, without saying a word.

The blood in Gu Sheng's eyes became even more intense. He suddenly got into trouble, snatched the long sword from the hand of the guard beside him, and stabbed towards Emperor Jinghe suddenly.Emperor Jinghe's face changed, but it was too late to escape.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and Gu Yan pulled out a dagger from nowhere, deftly deflecting Gu Sheng's sword away.

Prince Rui has never shown any kung fu in front of others, but Gu Sheng's martial arts skills are recognized as the best among the princes.Amid the astonishment of the crowd, the two quickly made several moves, and after a while, the long sword in Gu Sheng's hand was knocked down to the ground.

The dagger in Gu Yan's hand landed firmly on Gu Sheng's neck.

Gu Yan tilted his head, and said in a low voice: "Murdering the Holy Majesty is a more serious crime, and the Second Highness should be arrested without a fight."

"Gu Yan!" The queen suddenly said, "Don't get too complacent, the Wen family won't let you go, I want you—"

Before she finished speaking, a lazy voice came from outside the door: "What do you want us to do?"

The queen was stunned for a moment, Ye Zi stepped into the bedroom with a group of elite soldiers, and walked up to Gu Yan: "My lord, according to your order, all the rebels have been caught. This is a token."

As he spoke, he handed a silver waist badge to Gu Yan.

The word "Wen" is engraved on the waist card.

The queen's face suddenly turned pale.

While Gu Yan was looking for Emperor Jinghe everywhere, Ye Zi found out early in the morning that there was a person with strange whereabouts ambushing outside the imperial city through the news from the flowers and birds.Therefore, the two split up and Gu Yan came to look for Emperor Jinghe, while he led a team of elite soldiers to encircle and suppress the Wen family's ambush.

Ye Zi caught the traitor of the Wen family, and hurried back from outside the palace gate to report the news. Even in the autumn and winter nights, a thin layer of sweat inevitably broke out on his forehead.

Gu Yan raised his hand to wipe his face, and said in a warm voice, "Thanks for your hard work."

"What's the matter, it's a trivial matter." Ye Zi said, "The Wen family really isn't easy to deal with. It took a lot of effort to catch everyone."

After hearing his words, the queen looked away in a daze, and said no more.Gu Sheng knelt down on the ground, his eyes were full of bewilderment and despair.

Gu Yan glanced at the mother and son, took the waist badge over, and told the guards: "The empress and the second prince joined forces with the Wen family to plot rebellion. The evidence is convincing. All of them will be imprisoned in the prison."

The guards took orders: "Yes."

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Emperor Jinghe who was at the side.The latter seemed to have exhausted all his strength, lying on the armchair with his eyes closed, his face pale.

Ye Zi saw his worries, and said, "Zicheng, go to Cha Wen's house, His Majesty, I will escort him back."

Gu Yan nodded: "Okay."

Gu Yan ordered a few guards to follow Ye Zi, and a few guards stepped forward, helped Emperor Jinghe leave the bedroom, and boarded the imperial chariot.

Most of the people went to the dormitory, Gu Yan was about to leave, but happened to catch a glimpse of a bowl of finished soup on the side of the bed in the inner room.

Gu Yan stepped forward, picked up the medicine bowl and smelled it.

There was only a little medicine base left in the bowl, and the color was no different from ordinary soup medicine, but it smelled a familiar faint fragrance.

Gu Yan frowned slightly.

In Emperor Jinghe's bedroom, Ye Zi supported Emperor Jinghe to lie down, put the unfinished edict next to Emperor Jinghe's pillow, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is too frightened today, please rest well and take care of yourself."

Ye Zi wanted to leave after saying this, but Emperor Jinghe suddenly said, "Wait."

Ye Zi paused.

Emperor Jinghe stroked the edict with his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want this edict?"

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, then turned his head and said, "If I say I don't want to, Your Majesty won't believe me either."

"No one doesn't want the supreme throne." Emperor Jinghe coughed twice, and said angrily, "Now that Sheng'er is being imprisoned by you, and Mo'er... this edict will be given to Yan'er sooner or later. .”

Ye Zi's eyes dimmed, and he instinctively felt that Emperor Jinghe was plotting something.

Emperor Jinghe said: "Actually, this world should belong to Yan'er. If his father hadn't passed away early back then, he would be a justifiable prince now. Although he didn't show it in the past, it is impossible for him not to want this in his heart." Emperor, am I right?"

Ye Zi said: "Why are you telling me these things, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Jinghe turned his head to look at Ye Zi, and said with a smile, "Actually, I can write Yan'er's name on this edict right now, making him a legitimate heir."

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, then said, "Then thank you Your Majesty for fulfilling it."

"Don't worry, I still have something here." Emperor Jinghe groped under the pillow for a while, pulled out another letter, and handed it to Ye Zi, "You take this thing, if you agree, I will send the imperial edict immediately." Give it to Gu Yan."

Ye Zi frowned, unfolded the letter, lowered his head and scanned it quickly, but his expression changed.

Ye Zi's fingers trembled imperceptibly, slowly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jinghe, and gritted his teeth: "You..."

Emperor Jinghe said in a low voice: "Actually, you know, this is the only way out. During this period of time, I have thought very clearly. This old bone of mine cannot survive no matter what, and there is no successor in this world."

"No matter how much grievances I have with Gu Yan, people in this world are innocent. I believe he doesn't want to see this world degenerate to what it is today. You and him are so in love, it's impossible not to know what he thinks. "

"Take this and think about it. I'll wait for your decision."

Ye Zi left Emperor Jinghe's bedroom in a daze.

The letter that Emperor Jinghe gave him was held in his arms, but the original thin paper seemed to have condensed frost, and it was pressed against his skin through his clothes, making him feel chilly.

Ye Zi was worried and walked towards the sky prison. Suddenly, a eunuch came up to him and bowed to Ye Zi: "I have seen Princess Rui."

The eunuch looked at the face, Ye Zi was awakened by him from his thoughts, and asked, "What's the matter, father-in-law?"

The eunuch reached into his bosom, took out a letter and handed it to Ye Zi: "Someone asked the servant to deliver this letter to Princess Rui, please read it yourself."

Ye Zi took it over.

The envelope was completely sealed, Ye Zi opened it in twos and twos, half a green leaf shook out from the envelope.Ye Zi paused, and slowly unfolded the letter inside.

Ye Zi quickly scanned the contents of the letter paper, eyes slightly closed, and thought for a long time.

After a while, Ye Zi said calmly, "I see, you can go down."

The eunuch said "yes", turned his head and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.

A slender silver sword pierced his heart.

The eunuch staggered and fell to the ground.Ye Zi pulled out his long sword expressionlessly, wiped it on the eunuch's clothes, and put the sword back into its sheath.He walked to the palace lantern by the road, threw the letter and half of the leaf inside together, and burned them quickly.

After doing this, Ye Zi gathered up his clothes and returned to the original path.

When Gu Yan came out of the dungeon, he immediately saw Ye Zi holding the sword, leaning against the guardrail in a daze.His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was preoccupied.

That expression was exactly the same as that of Huaiyuan in the past.

Ever since Ye Zi recovered his memory, his behavior has become more and more similar to Huaiyuan's.Although he knew in his heart that they were the same person, but in his private heart, Gu Yan didn't want Ye Zi to be so similar to Huaiyuan.

In his previous life, Huaiyuan had experienced too many things. He was burdened with a heavy past, and there were few leisurely moments in his life.

But Ye Zi in this life is different. From his few words, Gu Yan can feel that Ye Zi's life is safe and smooth, and he has been living a carefree life before meeting him.

This is what Gu Yan wants to see.

Gu Yan sighed silently, and walked to Ye Zi's side: "What are you thinking?"

Ye Zi suddenly came back to his senses, and the expression on his face suddenly subsided.He raised his head, bent his bright eyes, and said softly, "Zicheng, I'm waiting for you."

Gu Yan frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Ye Zi shook his head, took Gu Yan's hand, and pulled him out.

Perhaps Ye Zi's hands were terribly cold because of being blown in the night wind for too long.

Gu Yan warmed Ye Zi's hand in his palm, and reproached him, "It's so cold outside, why are you waiting for me here? Why don't you go back to the carriage?"

"I don't." Ye Zi looked down at the ground and said, "Wait here, I can see you as soon as you come out."

Gu Yan smiled: "Isn't it the same for you to wait in the car? Can I still run away?"

"It's different." Ye Zi whispered, "Here... I can see you for a while longer."

Gu Yan's heart trembled slightly, and instead of answering, he asked warmly, "Are you cold?"

Ye Zi paused, and said truthfully, "It's cold."

Gu Yan unfolded the cloak, wrapped Ye Zi in the cloak, and walked out with a half hug and half hug: "Is it still cold like this?"

The thick cloak completely wrapped Ye Zi, Ye Zi snuggled into Gu Yan's arms, and said softly, "It's not cold."

Silence returned to the imperial city, and the two of them walked together in the cold wind. After a while, Ye Zi said softly, "Zi Cheng..."

"what happened?"

Ye Zi pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "You are so kind to me."

Gu Yan took his arm and tightened it a bit: "Is this good for you? I can treat you better."

Ye Zi turned her head, looked at Gu Yan's profile, and responded softly.

For the next few days, people in Chang'an became even more panicked.

King Jing's army pressed forward all the way, and it was like a broken bamboo, and no one could beat it.Some cities along the way simply opened their gates and let them pass in order to seek a truce.King Jing was benevolent and did not hurt any innocent people's lives from the beginning to the end. For a while, the number of people supporting King Jing gradually increased.

When the news came that the spies had encamped King Jing's army outside Chang'an City, Gu Yan and Ye Zi were just about to rest.

Gu Yan dismissed the spies who came to report the news, Ye Zi poured a cup of scented tea and handed it to Gu Yan: "Zi Cheng, drink some tea first."

"En." Gu Yan nodded, took a sip of tea from the teacup, "I entered the palace today, and Pei Ge said that Jinghe Di's old thing probably won't last for a few days."

Ye Zi asked: "The imperial edict...he still hasn't signed it?"

"Not signed." Gu Yan said lightly, "But now, he probably doesn't know how to write the edict. Gu Sheng went to prison, and Gu Xing left in feign death. Who else can he give the throne to? Is it Gu Xu who is seven years old?"

Ye Zi's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Listen to King Jing, as long as Emperor Jinghe is willing to abdicate and give him the throne within three days, he will agree to withdraw the troops. Otherwise, he will enter Chang'an after three days. "

"Yes." Gu Yan caressed the rim of the teacup, and said indifferently, "If you want me to say, it's okay to give the throne to Uncle Six, he will never do worse than Emperor Jinghe."

"But……"

Ye Zi was suspicious.

They had come into contact with Gu Yi in the south of the Yangtze River before. He seemed gentle and amiable, but in fact he acted resolutely and had an unpredictable temperament.Gu Yan had previously rejected his proposal to co-conspiracy, if that person really became the emperor, would he let Gu Yan go?

not to mention……

Ye Zi lowered his eyes to hide a hint of worry in them.

Now it was approaching late at night, Gu Yan lay back on the bed with Ye Zi in his arms, and yawned: "What kind of tea did you drink for me? I'm so sleepy after drinking it."

Ye Zi rested on his arm, looked up at him without blinking, and said in a low voice, "Look for the calming scented tea prescribed by Dr. Pei, you've been working too hard lately, drinking some of this scented tea will help you sleep better."

Gu Yan responded vaguely, closed his eyes, and his breathing quickly calmed down.

Ye Zi waited for a while, slowly got up, knelt down beside Gu Yan, and called out in a low voice, "Zi Cheng?"

Gu Yan didn't move at all, as if he was already fast asleep.

Ye Zi cautiously rolled over and got out of bed, rummaged through the secret place next to the table, and found a postcard.It was the thing that Emperor Jinghe gave him before, and Ye Zi has been hiding it here since he got it back.

Ye Zi put the letter into her arms, returned to the bed, lowered her head and kissed Gu Yan's lips lightly: "Zi Cheng, I really like you so much."

He looked deeply at Gu Yan, and said softly as if talking to himself: "You don't know, how much I want to be with you forever, how much I want to keep you by my side selfishly, and let you forget all these things Let go, the ends of the earth, just the two of us."

"...but it doesn't seem to work."

"You have a lot of things you want to do, and I don't want to be your burden. You treat me so well, and I want to treat you better."

"...Don't worry, everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow. I promise."

After saying this, Ye Zi took down the silver sword that Gu Yan made for him from the wall, opened the door and left the bedroom.

In the deathly silence of the imperial city at night, a black shadow swiftly evaded the patrolling Ouchi guards and quietly approached Emperor Jinghe's bedroom.

The sleeping hall was surprisingly quiet, Ye Zi walked to the bed, the person lying on the bed looked haggard, as if he had exhausted all his vitality.

Emperor Jinghe opened his eyes, and at a glance he saw the ghostly figure standing in front of his bed.

But he didn't seem to be surprised, he tried his best to twitch the corner of his mouth, his voice hoarse: "I knew you would come..."

Ye Zi didn't say much, and directly threw something in his arms onto Emperor Jinghe.

The letter fell on Emperor Jinghe, rolled and unfolded, revealing the words inside.

——"He Li Shu".

This is what Emperor Jinghe handed over to Ye Zi that day.

When Prince Rui and Concubine Wang got married back then, Emperor Jinghe personally decreed the marriage, and if the two wanted to reconcile, they had to obtain the consent of the Holy Majesty.

At the end of this letter of Heli, there is the fingerprint printed by Ye Zi just now.

Ye Zi said: "I have done as you asked, what about the imperial edict?"

Emperor Jinghe didn't answer, but asked: "You come here, he doesn't know."

Ye Zi asked coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"

Emperor Jinghe seemed to have regained his energy a little bit, he sat up reluctantly, his eyes fell on the letter of Heli in front of him: "Actually... the first day I fell into Gu Yan's hands, he could force me to write in the imperial edict. write his name on it. But he didn't, and do you know why?"

"...He is for you."

"Gu Yan has indeed pretended to be very good in front of me these years, so good that I almost think that he is really a waste that can't be considered elegant." Emperor Jinghe said, "You may not know that after so many years, he is the first The reason I contradicted me once was to marry you."

"Marrying a man to be a concubine is a big joke in the world."

Ye Zi interrupted, "Shut up."

Emperor Jinghe sneered, and said quietly: "Why, what I said hit your sore spot?"

"Yeah, the current situation is so interesting." Emperor Jinghe looked at him with a little bit of revenge in his eyes, "I have no successors under my knees, and there are only two options in front of me. The throne can either be given to Gu Yan, Or... give it to King Jing."

"It's not easy for King Jing to rule the world. If he gets what he wants, the first person he will kill is Gu Yan. But if Gu Yan becomes the emperor, what should you do?"

"The world will not tolerate a man becoming a queen, let alone a monarch without heirs. So even if I don't force you to sign this and Li Shu, he will not be able to sit on the throne. Your choice is correct. "

Ye Zi's fingers hanging by his side trembled slightly, subconsciously clenched into fists.

Ye Zi took a deep breath, looked up at Emperor Jinghe, "What are you talking about now, what about the imperial edict?"

Emperor Jinghe looked at him deeply, he groped under the pillow, took out an imperial edict wrapped in yellow silk, and handed it to Ye Zi: "The edict has been drawn up a long time ago, and at dawn tomorrow, I will bring these two things together." To make it public, Gu Yan is the ruler of this country."

Ye Zi took the edict, unfolded it, looked down, and indeed saw the familiar name.

Ye Zi's fingers slowly brushed over the two words on the imperial decree, and his heart ached.

At dawn tomorrow, Gu Yan will be the emperor.

After wasting so much time in the previous and present lives, that person finally fulfilled his original long-cherished wish.

Ye Zi's eyes trembled slightly, and she said softly, "Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Yan stepped into the bedroom with a gloomy face.

Gu Yan's expression was gloomy, and his voice was filled with anger like never before: "Should I also thank you?"
