Lord, your grass jelly has slipped away again [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 89 (End)
Ye Zi's heart trembled heavily, and she subconsciously hid the imperial decree behind her back: "Zi, Zicheng, why did you come..."
"You still ask me why I came here?" Gu Yan curled his lips and walked slowly towards Ye Zi.
His face was terribly gloomy, and it was the first time Ye Zi saw him make such an appearance in front of her, stepping back in fear.
Ye Zi stepped back a few steps, and touched the desk in the inner room of the dormitory behind him, so he couldn't avoid it.
Gu Yan walked up to him and grabbed his wrist.He used so much strength that Ye Zi felt the pain, but Gu Yan snatched the imperial decree from his hand.
On the bed, Emperor Jinghe tried his best to say, "Yan'er, calm down..."
"Shut up!" Gu Yan reprimanded without looking back, and looked up at Ye Zi.
He put the stolen imperial decree on the desk, pulled Ye Zi in front of him, and softened his voice: "A Zi, what do you want to do?"
Ye Zi trembled all over, struggling hard, trying to break free from Gu Yan's restraint.Gu Yan twisted his hands behind his back, bringing the distance between the two closer.
Ye Zi couldn't break free, and said in a low voice: "Zi Cheng, let's talk about it when we go back, okay?"
"Not good." Gu Yan looked at him deeply, his eyes were a little bit dark, but his voice was extremely gentle, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Ye Zi turned her head, but still didn't answer.
Gu Yan's eyes darkened, he forcefully broke Ye Zi's chin, and kissed her hard.
This kiss was domineering and tough, with a taste of venting anger, Ye Zi didn't check for a while, and was driven straight in by the other party.Gu Yan raged fiercely in Ye Zi's mouth, kissing him until he couldn't breathe in a short while.
When he let go, Ye Zi's eyes were red and her breathing was short.
Gu Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he looked down at him calmly: "Speak, what do you want to do?"
Ye Zi was kissed so badly by him, she said in a low voice, "Zi Cheng, let go first..."
Before he finished speaking, another long and domineering kiss responded to him.
After a while, Gu Yan let him go.
Ye Zi's whole body went limp, unable to stand still, leaning against the desk feebly, panting lightly.
Gu Yan looked down into those eyes, finally sighed helplessly, and asked softly, "You don't want me anymore, do you?"
Ye Zi's eyes suddenly turned red: "I didn't..."
Gu Yan said: "Then tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I..." Ye Zi lowered her head, bit her lower lip, but couldn't say anything.
Gu Yan stared at him intently for a while, then suddenly laughed softly: "Ye Zi, who do you think I am?"
He let go of his hand, picked up the imperial decree on the table again, turned his head and walked back to the bed, reaching for the letter and the book.
Emperor Jinghe put his hand on Heli's book, and Gu Yan looked up at him with a trace of hostility in his eyes.
"Yan'er, why are you doing this?" Emperor Jinghe looked at him and said calmly, "After signing the agreement, he just can't be a concubine. After you succeed to the throne, as long as you want, you can take the He was brought back into the harem. How is it different from now?"
"You ask me what's the difference..." Gu Yan sneered, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, Li Shu and Li Shu are ready, do you think I don't know your plan yet? Have you already chosen the queen candidate for me? , after that, do you want me to obediently spread my branches and leaves for the royal family?"
Emperor Jinghe stared at him, suddenly felt short of breath, and was a little speechless.
He has been in surprisingly good spirits tonight, but now after hearing Gu Yan's words, his strength seems to be gradually draining away.Jinghe Di gasped for breath twice, and said, "Yan'er, you..."
Gu Yan didn't intend to let him finish speaking.
He broke away Emperor Jinghe's hand, smoothed the two imperial decrees neatly, and put them into his arms.Afterwards, Gu Yan stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at Emperor Jinghe indifferently: "...I don't want this throne."
After saying this, he took Ye Zi's hand and walked out.
"Gu Zicheng!" Emperor Jinghe scolded in a low voice and hissed, "If you don't take over the throne, are you going to still enter Chang'an by King Jing and wash the imperial city with blood? Do you know how many innocent people are still in this imperial city! "
Gu Yan paused slightly, and left without looking back.
"Gu, Gu..." Emperor Jinghe couldn't catch his breath, but he tilted his body and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The palace people didn't know whether they were ordered by Gu Yan or heard the movement, a large number of people rushed into the bedroom.In the chaos, someone rushed to help Emperor Jinghe up.
But Jinghedi seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his eyes were slack, and his breath was extremely weak.
Outside the hall, Gu Yan ordered someone to invite Pei Ge, and pulled Ye Zi out silently.
Ye Zi lowered her head, said nothing, and dared not say anything.
When he reached a quiet place, Gu Yan stopped and turned to look at him.Ye Zi's lips were kissed hard by him, and there was a thin cut on his lips, which was abnormally red.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand to gently stroke the scar, and asked warmly, "Does it hurt?"
Ye Zi shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
Gu Yan sighed and said, "There are no outsiders now, can you tell me what you think?"
Ye Zi pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "We still don't understand King Jing's attitude, so we can't let him invade Chang'an rashly. The fifth prince is too young to take on the big responsibility. The second prince has been abolished, and the prince has escaped. Now the only one who can inherit the great power is you."
Sober and clear.
Gu Yan suppressed the anger in his heart, and said patiently: "Continue."
Ye Zi didn't dare to look at him very much, lowered his head and said slowly: "The foundation of this dynasty has been destroyed, and the battles this time are riddled with holes. But I think, if you come, within ten years, you will definitely can be repaired."
"...The fifth prince, Gu Xu, is young, but his talent and disposition are not bad. After a few years of careful teaching, he should be able to become a great leader."
"He listens to me, so I can teach him well. When he grows up, you can hand over the throne to him logically and retire. Then we will..."
Ye Zi paused, and then said: "Zicheng, there's no need to lose the throne for me. It's just a title, without it, I can still stay by your side. I don't care."
Gu Yan looked down at him, and asked softly, "Do you really not care?"
Ye Zi's eyes trembled slightly, and her throat suddenly felt a little dry.
Gu Yandao: "Just now in front of Emperor Jinghe, I deliberately angered him. In the current situation, he came to beg me to inherit the throne, and he wanted to point me to the queen. I can deny it, no one dares to say anything. "
"...But what should you do?"
Gu Yan was angry and distressed, wishing he could teach him a lesson now.He tried his best to make his voice seem calmer, and said: "You stay in the palace without a name, what do you want others to say about you? The days are long, if I am really forced to marry a concubine, you what to do?"
"Azi, I can't bear to wrong you like this, let alone ten years, even a few months, a day or two, I can't bear it."
Gu Yan took Ye Zi into his arms, as if embracing something extremely precious and fragile: "A Zi, don't torment yourself, okay?"
Ye Zi trembled slightly, and put her head in Gu Yan's arms. After a long while, she finally answered with a trembling voice.
Gu Yan sighed helplessly, he couldn't figure out why a person whom he cherished so much didn't know how to cherish himself.
How long will it take for him to correct this broken problem.
Fortunately, they still have a lot of time.
Soon, a eunuch quickly walked towards the two of them and knelt down on the ground: "My lord."
Gu Yan sideways blocked Ye Zi, tilted his head and asked, "What?"
The eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, and tremblingly said: "Doctor Pei has already diagnosed and treated His Majesty, he said, if he can't find any medicine to cure the epidemic, His Majesty may not survive until tomorrow."
Gu Yan pondered for a moment, and replied: "Temporarily block the news, but...be prepared."
"...Yes." The eunuch kowtowed to Gu Yan and went back from the original time.
Ye Zi broke free from Gu Yan's arms after the person walked away.
Gu Yan looked down at the man's red eyes, and said, "Okay, put your expression away, and I didn't scold you. Besides, isn't there something more important to do?"
Ye Zi looked up at him: "How do you know?"
Gu Yan smiled softly, and pinched his face: "I also really want to know why every time you have a secret, you can't keep it from me. Maybe it's because I am your husband-in-law."
In the dead of night, a crack was quietly opened at the gate of Chang'an City, and two tall brown horses galloped out.The brown horse kept walking and headed south.
Three hundred miles away from Chang'an City Gate, King Jing's army is camping here.
Just as the two brown horses stepped into the camp, layers of fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, and countless soldiers rushed out from the darkness, surrounding the two horses and their riders.
The light of the torch illuminated the faces of the two of them, Ye Zi turned his head and looked at Gu Yan, and the two got off their horses one after another.
Originally, Gu Yi sent someone to send a letter to Ye Zi, saying that he wanted to meet Ye Zi alone.
Attached to that letter was half of his leaf.
Who would have given him that leaf? The answer was obvious.
At the beginning, Ye Zi was credulous about this matter. Today, after he wanted to find Emperor Jinghe in exchange for an edict, he came to see Gu Yi alone to see what he wanted to do.
It's a pity that he died before he was able to complete his mission, and he was caught by someone before his first plan was completed.
The soldiers at the bottom didn't recognize the identities of the two, and asked, "Who are you?"
Just as Gu Yan was about to speak, someone behind the crowd suddenly shouted, "Get out of the way."
The crowd opened a gap on both sides, and a general in armor stepped out.Ye Zi had seen that person before, he was the attendant who accompanied Gu Yi when he was in Guangling.
The man bowed to the two of them and said: "My lord has been waiting for a long time, you two please."
The two were led into the coach's camp.
In the camp, Gu Yi was sitting in front of the table with two wine glasses in front of him.
He raised his eyes, but frowned in dissatisfaction: "The king obviously only invited Xiao Ye'er here, Gu Zicheng, are you so worried about him, do you have to come here?"
Gu Yan was also not polite, and said lightly: "Uncle Huang invites my concubine to meet late at night, so this king should be more careful."
Gu Yi clicked his tongue, and ordered the attendants: "Go, add another cup."
"No need." Gu Yan said, "There are important matters in the city, so it's inconvenient for us to stay for a long time."
Gu Yi was silent for a moment, then turned his head to give instructions to the attendant beside him.The attendant responded, got up and left the tent.
Gu Yi said to the two: "Sit first."
Gu Yan pulled Ye Zi to sit down beside the table.
Gu Yi poured a glass of wine into the cups in front of the two of them, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to entertain in the barracks, please forgive me."
Gu Yan didn't go to pick it up, but said: "Uncle, don't go around in circles, what do you want to say, just say it."
Gu Yi chuckled: "So I don't want you to come and talk to you, it's meaningless at all."
Gu Yan looked up at him and said, "Emperor Jinghe won't live until tomorrow morning."
Gu Yi paused, and Gu Yan continued: "Before leaving Chang'an, I accepted his edict."
The smile on Gu Yi's face completely subsided.He stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and said with a half-smile: "I see, then I will congratulate Zicheng first, he finally got what he wanted."
"Uncle Emperor, let's get straight to the point." Gu Yan said, "How exactly do you want to retreat?"
Gu Yi took a sip of his wine and said, "I fought all the way here from the fiefdom, and if you said I would retreat, I would retreat. Aren't I very shameless?"
Gu Yan took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi took the letter, glanced at it casually, and heard Gu Yan say again: "This is something I can promise to the emperor. If the emperor agrees, I am willing to make a truce with you in the name of the new emperor."
Gu Yi read the contents of the letter, put it aside, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Rui is sincere and sincere."
Ye Zi frowned.
Gu Yi said again: "Prince Ke Rui doesn't even think about it. I am now approaching the city. Tens of thousands of soldiers will attack Chang'an just waiting for my order. At that time, I will be able to sit on the world. The benefits you give, I can get a thousand times more than that."
Gu Yan seemed to have expected that he would say this, and said, "Uncle Huang is so confident, can you capture Chang'an?"
"To be honest, I have already transferred all the troops around me back to Chang'an. The city of Chang'an is impenetrable now. It may not be as easy for the emperor to capture Chang'an as he imagined."
"Moreover, the garrison far in the northwest received my news when the emperor raised his troops. Counting the days, the reinforcements should arrive in Chang'an within two days."
Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly: "When the time comes to pinch back and forth, Uncle Huang thinks your chance of winning is better, or mine is better?"
Gu Yi frowned slightly.
Gu Yan was silent for a moment, took out another thing from his bosom, and said unhurriedly: "There is still this thing, I think Uncle Huang will be interested."
Gu Yi didn't even look at it this time, and asked, "What is this?"
Gu Yandao: "Twenty years ago, Emperor Jinghe joined forces with Concubine Yu to spread the plague in Chang'an City, which is evidence of the murder of the former prince."
Gu Yi's expression changed.
Gu Yandao: "Uncle Huang, if you agree to withdraw the troops, I will send someone to thoroughly investigate the matter, find out the truth of the matter, and make it public. My father, and the people who were involved in this matter back then, I will not let They died in vain."
Gu Yi closed his eyes slightly, and did not answer for a long time.
At this moment, the camp tent was opened, and the sound of wheels rolling over the ground came from far to near.
Several people turned their heads, and an old man was sitting in a wheelchair and was slowly pushed into the tent.
The old man was gray-haired, emaciated, but in good spirits.The old man stopped in front of the crowd, he looked at Gu Yi, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the old man just heard it, so you just agree."
Gu Yi still didn't answer, but Gu Yan said, "This should be the rumored medical genius who has rejuvenated his body?"
The old man shook his head: "It's an old bone, and I can't bear such absurd praise. The old man just accidentally heard a few people outside, and he hoped that Prince Rui will make amends."
Gu Yan said: "It's okay, sir, there is no need to be like this."
The old man paused, and then said: "I didn't know people clearly 20 years ago, and I did something wrong. Fortunately, God coveted me and saved my life. Thanks to King Jing's care these years, I have lived in peace until now."
"The prince has been thinking about it for many years. But the old man understands in his heart that the prince just wants to find out the death of His Highness the former prince and overthrow the rule of the faint king. As for the throne..."
The old man smiled and said, "My lord, if you really wanted to be emperor, why did you cooperate with Prince Rui?"
Gu Yi let out a long breath, then suddenly leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair like a boneless person, and glanced at the old man: "Mr. Ge, you talk too much today, I don't know how well this king treats you. Save some face for this king."
The old man hastily confessed his guilt: "For the crime of grassroots, I ask the prince to make amends."
Gu Yi waved his hand: "Forget it, since this is the end of the matter, let's do it according to Prince Rui's conditions. However, Prince Rui, please keep in mind your promise today, and don't be dishonest. Otherwise..."
His gaze fixed on Ye Zi for a moment, and he said with a smile, "This king is still holding onto you."
When the two left the camp, it was already getting light.The sky seems to be wrapped in a layer of light-colored satin, and the cold wind howls through the mountains and forests, like a hundred beasts howling.
The two of them strolled back to the city on horseback, and as soon as they entered the city gate, someone hurried over.
"Your Majesty, you are back, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he is dying!"
No one knows how Emperor Jinghe came here that night.
His brief mental recovery last night was like a flashback, and since then, it has been constantly failing.Even soon, he couldn't move all over his body, and his mind was sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic.
The news that Gu Yan and Ye Zi left the imperial city overnight did not hide from anyone. Jing and Emperor lay on the bed, listening to the whispers of people around him, falling into unprecedented despair.
Gu Yangang refused his imperial edict, and then dragged Ye Zi out of the city.
What did he do?
Go to King Jing?
Not only him, everyone is worried and suspicious.
I don't know who started it, saying that Gu Yan turned his back on the battlefield and was about to attack the imperial city with King Jing.The concubines and palace servants began to pack their belongings, took away everything they could, and fled to the imperial city in a hurry.
For a while, everyone in the imperial city fled in panic, and there was no order at all.
The door of Emperor Jinghe's bedroom was open, and Emperor Jinghe was lying alone on the empty bed, and the surroundings were in chaos.He was in a daze, as if he could hear the fighting sounds of the rebels breaking through the imperial city.
Suddenly, there were light footsteps coming from far and near.
Gu Yan led the people into the bedroom.
He received the news from the gate of the city, rushed all the way back to the imperial city, stabilized the turmoil in the imperial city, and then brought a group of eunuchs and palace officials to the Jinghe Emperor's bedroom.
Emperor Jinghe didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. He felt someone approaching, so he tried to open his eyes: "It's you..."
The palace people knelt inside and outside the palace, and Gu Yan knelt beside Emperor Jinghe and asked, "Your Majesty, what else do you want to say?"
Emperor Jinghe's eyes were slack, and after a while, he said angrily, "My child...keep this world, and the rest...according to your ideas..."
His voice was too low, except for Gu Yan, no one else could hear what Emperor Jinghe was saying.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand to hold the old hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
After his words fell, the light in Emperor Jinghe's eyes completely dissipated, and he exhaled his last breath.
This generation of emperor, after being tortured by illness for more than a month, and struggling all night in pain and despair, was finally freed.
No one knew that Emperor Jinghe had left two imperial edicts before his death, let alone that he had already drafted an edict.In the end, Gu Yan, who was the last to see Emperor Jinghe, passed on the oral instructions of Emperor Jinghe.
——Emperor Jinghe wants to pass on the throne to the fifth prince, Gu Xu.
But thinking that the fifth prince was too young to take over the throne, so Prince Rui was temporarily appointed as the throne, and Gu Xu was named the crown prince.When the crown prince is able to be alone, Prince Rui will pass on the throne to him.
Gu Yan took control of the government for a month, and he eliminated many ministers who disobeyed him, both openly and secretly. Therefore, after this seal appeared, although some people doubted it, no one dared to refute it.
On the second day after Emperor Jinghe's death, King Jing withdrew his troops, and the crisis in Chang'an City was completely resolved.
Gu Yan neither accepted the edict to become emperor according to Emperor Jinghe's idea, nor gave up the throne directly, but chose a compromise method.
As the "acting emperor", he only needs to care about how to govern the world well on behalf of Gu Xu. As for spreading the branches and keeping the royal blood, he can leave it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Gu Yan's plan was carried out in an orderly manner, but the throne was changing from old to new, and the things to be dealt with were far from simple.Gu Yan was so busy every day that his feet never touched the ground, and Ye Zi also tried his best to help him share the load.
On this day, Ye Zi finished handling the affairs that Gu Yan ordered, and when he rushed back, it was already evening.
There were snowflakes fluttering in the sky, before Ye Zi walked back to the palace, he saw a servant who looked like a servant running towards him from a distance, and hurriedly said: "Princess, my lord, he..."
Gu Yan has not succeeded to the throne, so everyone still uses the old name.
When Ye Zi saw the appearance of this attendant, he thought something happened to Gu Yan.
Tomorrow is the succession ceremony, if something happened to Gu Yanruo, the consequences would be disastrous.Ye Zi didn't have time to ask more questions, so she dragged him back.But as soon as he turned around, the attendant suddenly sprayed a handful of white powder on his face.
Ye Zi was unprepared and took a sharp breath.
The medicinal powder should be specially prepared to deal with him, Ye Zi just inhaled it, and soon lost consciousness.
When Ye Zi woke up again, she was lying on a very soft place.He moved his fingers, only to realize that his whole body was bound by something like silk cloth, unable to move, and a piece of silk cloth of the same material was also covered over his eyes.
What surprised Ye Zi even more was that apart from the tightly wrapped silk cloth, he was not wearing a single thread.
Ye Zi struggled, but couldn't break free, so he could only wait patiently.
After a while, there was the sound of the door being pushed open not far away, and the sound of light footsteps from far to near.
Ye Zi heard the familiar footsteps, and instead of relieving his tension, he became even more uneasy.His plump, crystal-clear lips were pursed uncomfortably, with a notable tension.
There was no movement around him for a long time, Ye Zi tilted his head, and tentatively called out in a low voice, "Zi Cheng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand fell on his bare shoulder.
Gu Yan just came back from the outside, his fingertips were cold, which made Ye Zi flinch, but couldn't avoid it.The hand ran along his shoulder and neck, gradually upwards, brushed over his cheek, and landed on the piece of red silk covering his eyes.
Ye Zi didn't know whether it was excitement or nervousness that made her whole body tremble slightly, she couldn't help but said, "Zi Cheng, let me go."
Gu Yan didn't answer, the hand slipped down again, touching somewhere, Ye Zi only felt that the silk cloth on his body was a little loose.Those hands dexterously brushed the silk cloth on Ye Zi's body, as if peeling off a gift, and slowly peeled him out of the bondage.
Finally, Gu Yan lifted the red silk on his face.
Ye Zi's eyes were full of water, and he looked up at the gauze dome above his head, finally realizing where he was.
In the past few days, Gu Yan has already arranged the succession matters, and this place should be the new emperor's bedroom.According to the rules in the palace, when concubines go to bed, they must be tied up with silk cloth and placed on the emperor's dragon bed.
Realizing this, Ye Zi's cheeks blushed.
Ye Zi shrank back and said, "You, what are you going to do?"
Gu Yan listened to his words, with a smile in his eyes: "I made you like this, don't you understand what I'm going to do?"
The new emperor pressed close to Ye Zi's ear, and said in a low voice, "I want you to sleep with me."
It snowed all night, and the next morning, when Ye Zi woke up from the pain, she saw a strange gauze.He blinked in a daze, and it took him a while to realize where he was now.
A hand fell on his forehead.
Gu Yan stroked his hair and said warmly, "Are you awake?"
Ye Zi turned his head to look over, and the latter had already changed into a robe with golden silk cloud and dragon pattern, which made his figure slender, tall and straight, imposing.
Gu Yan pulled him up with a smile, took out a robe and put it on him: "Why are you in a daze, don't worry about it, the succession hall is about to begin."
Ye Zi was taken aback for a moment, only to realize later that today should be Gu Yan's succession ceremony.Ye Zi hurriedly got up, his sore muscles were involved in his movements, and he muttered, "Your Majesty is really energetic enough to torment me so much last night, knowing that there are still important things to do today."
"Who made you make a mistake in the first place." Gu Yan said confidently, "Before, I was too busy to punish you, but I can't just let you go."
Of course, it was about signing and leaving the book behind his back.
The new emperor is not only energetic, but also holds grudges.
After helping Ye Zi get dressed, Gu Yan stretched out his hand to him: "Come on, come with me to see the new world."
The two stepped out of the dormitory.
The sun rose and shone on the snow-covered imperial city, and it was quiet.
"You still ask me why I came here?" Gu Yan curled his lips and walked slowly towards Ye Zi.
His face was terribly gloomy, and it was the first time Ye Zi saw him make such an appearance in front of her, stepping back in fear.
Ye Zi stepped back a few steps, and touched the desk in the inner room of the dormitory behind him, so he couldn't avoid it.
Gu Yan walked up to him and grabbed his wrist.He used so much strength that Ye Zi felt the pain, but Gu Yan snatched the imperial decree from his hand.
On the bed, Emperor Jinghe tried his best to say, "Yan'er, calm down..."
"Shut up!" Gu Yan reprimanded without looking back, and looked up at Ye Zi.
He put the stolen imperial decree on the desk, pulled Ye Zi in front of him, and softened his voice: "A Zi, what do you want to do?"
Ye Zi trembled all over, struggling hard, trying to break free from Gu Yan's restraint.Gu Yan twisted his hands behind his back, bringing the distance between the two closer.
Ye Zi couldn't break free, and said in a low voice: "Zi Cheng, let's talk about it when we go back, okay?"
"Not good." Gu Yan looked at him deeply, his eyes were a little bit dark, but his voice was extremely gentle, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Ye Zi turned her head, but still didn't answer.
Gu Yan's eyes darkened, he forcefully broke Ye Zi's chin, and kissed her hard.
This kiss was domineering and tough, with a taste of venting anger, Ye Zi didn't check for a while, and was driven straight in by the other party.Gu Yan raged fiercely in Ye Zi's mouth, kissing him until he couldn't breathe in a short while.
When he let go, Ye Zi's eyes were red and her breathing was short.
Gu Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he looked down at him calmly: "Speak, what do you want to do?"
Ye Zi was kissed so badly by him, she said in a low voice, "Zi Cheng, let go first..."
Before he finished speaking, another long and domineering kiss responded to him.
After a while, Gu Yan let him go.
Ye Zi's whole body went limp, unable to stand still, leaning against the desk feebly, panting lightly.
Gu Yan looked down into those eyes, finally sighed helplessly, and asked softly, "You don't want me anymore, do you?"
Ye Zi's eyes suddenly turned red: "I didn't..."
Gu Yan said: "Then tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I..." Ye Zi lowered her head, bit her lower lip, but couldn't say anything.
Gu Yan stared at him intently for a while, then suddenly laughed softly: "Ye Zi, who do you think I am?"
He let go of his hand, picked up the imperial decree on the table again, turned his head and walked back to the bed, reaching for the letter and the book.
Emperor Jinghe put his hand on Heli's book, and Gu Yan looked up at him with a trace of hostility in his eyes.
"Yan'er, why are you doing this?" Emperor Jinghe looked at him and said calmly, "After signing the agreement, he just can't be a concubine. After you succeed to the throne, as long as you want, you can take the He was brought back into the harem. How is it different from now?"
"You ask me what's the difference..." Gu Yan sneered, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, Li Shu and Li Shu are ready, do you think I don't know your plan yet? Have you already chosen the queen candidate for me? , after that, do you want me to obediently spread my branches and leaves for the royal family?"
Emperor Jinghe stared at him, suddenly felt short of breath, and was a little speechless.
He has been in surprisingly good spirits tonight, but now after hearing Gu Yan's words, his strength seems to be gradually draining away.Jinghe Di gasped for breath twice, and said, "Yan'er, you..."
Gu Yan didn't intend to let him finish speaking.
He broke away Emperor Jinghe's hand, smoothed the two imperial decrees neatly, and put them into his arms.Afterwards, Gu Yan stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at Emperor Jinghe indifferently: "...I don't want this throne."
After saying this, he took Ye Zi's hand and walked out.
"Gu Zicheng!" Emperor Jinghe scolded in a low voice and hissed, "If you don't take over the throne, are you going to still enter Chang'an by King Jing and wash the imperial city with blood? Do you know how many innocent people are still in this imperial city! "
Gu Yan paused slightly, and left without looking back.
"Gu, Gu..." Emperor Jinghe couldn't catch his breath, but he tilted his body and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The palace people didn't know whether they were ordered by Gu Yan or heard the movement, a large number of people rushed into the bedroom.In the chaos, someone rushed to help Emperor Jinghe up.
But Jinghedi seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his eyes were slack, and his breath was extremely weak.
Outside the hall, Gu Yan ordered someone to invite Pei Ge, and pulled Ye Zi out silently.
Ye Zi lowered her head, said nothing, and dared not say anything.
When he reached a quiet place, Gu Yan stopped and turned to look at him.Ye Zi's lips were kissed hard by him, and there was a thin cut on his lips, which was abnormally red.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand to gently stroke the scar, and asked warmly, "Does it hurt?"
Ye Zi shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
Gu Yan sighed and said, "There are no outsiders now, can you tell me what you think?"
Ye Zi pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "We still don't understand King Jing's attitude, so we can't let him invade Chang'an rashly. The fifth prince is too young to take on the big responsibility. The second prince has been abolished, and the prince has escaped. Now the only one who can inherit the great power is you."
Sober and clear.
Gu Yan suppressed the anger in his heart, and said patiently: "Continue."
Ye Zi didn't dare to look at him very much, lowered his head and said slowly: "The foundation of this dynasty has been destroyed, and the battles this time are riddled with holes. But I think, if you come, within ten years, you will definitely can be repaired."
"...The fifth prince, Gu Xu, is young, but his talent and disposition are not bad. After a few years of careful teaching, he should be able to become a great leader."
"He listens to me, so I can teach him well. When he grows up, you can hand over the throne to him logically and retire. Then we will..."
Ye Zi paused, and then said: "Zicheng, there's no need to lose the throne for me. It's just a title, without it, I can still stay by your side. I don't care."
Gu Yan looked down at him, and asked softly, "Do you really not care?"
Ye Zi's eyes trembled slightly, and her throat suddenly felt a little dry.
Gu Yandao: "Just now in front of Emperor Jinghe, I deliberately angered him. In the current situation, he came to beg me to inherit the throne, and he wanted to point me to the queen. I can deny it, no one dares to say anything. "
"...But what should you do?"
Gu Yan was angry and distressed, wishing he could teach him a lesson now.He tried his best to make his voice seem calmer, and said: "You stay in the palace without a name, what do you want others to say about you? The days are long, if I am really forced to marry a concubine, you what to do?"
"Azi, I can't bear to wrong you like this, let alone ten years, even a few months, a day or two, I can't bear it."
Gu Yan took Ye Zi into his arms, as if embracing something extremely precious and fragile: "A Zi, don't torment yourself, okay?"
Ye Zi trembled slightly, and put her head in Gu Yan's arms. After a long while, she finally answered with a trembling voice.
Gu Yan sighed helplessly, he couldn't figure out why a person whom he cherished so much didn't know how to cherish himself.
How long will it take for him to correct this broken problem.
Fortunately, they still have a lot of time.
Soon, a eunuch quickly walked towards the two of them and knelt down on the ground: "My lord."
Gu Yan sideways blocked Ye Zi, tilted his head and asked, "What?"
The eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, and tremblingly said: "Doctor Pei has already diagnosed and treated His Majesty, he said, if he can't find any medicine to cure the epidemic, His Majesty may not survive until tomorrow."
Gu Yan pondered for a moment, and replied: "Temporarily block the news, but...be prepared."
"...Yes." The eunuch kowtowed to Gu Yan and went back from the original time.
Ye Zi broke free from Gu Yan's arms after the person walked away.
Gu Yan looked down at the man's red eyes, and said, "Okay, put your expression away, and I didn't scold you. Besides, isn't there something more important to do?"
Ye Zi looked up at him: "How do you know?"
Gu Yan smiled softly, and pinched his face: "I also really want to know why every time you have a secret, you can't keep it from me. Maybe it's because I am your husband-in-law."
In the dead of night, a crack was quietly opened at the gate of Chang'an City, and two tall brown horses galloped out.The brown horse kept walking and headed south.
Three hundred miles away from Chang'an City Gate, King Jing's army is camping here.
Just as the two brown horses stepped into the camp, layers of fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, and countless soldiers rushed out from the darkness, surrounding the two horses and their riders.
The light of the torch illuminated the faces of the two of them, Ye Zi turned his head and looked at Gu Yan, and the two got off their horses one after another.
Originally, Gu Yi sent someone to send a letter to Ye Zi, saying that he wanted to meet Ye Zi alone.
Attached to that letter was half of his leaf.
Who would have given him that leaf? The answer was obvious.
At the beginning, Ye Zi was credulous about this matter. Today, after he wanted to find Emperor Jinghe in exchange for an edict, he came to see Gu Yi alone to see what he wanted to do.
It's a pity that he died before he was able to complete his mission, and he was caught by someone before his first plan was completed.
The soldiers at the bottom didn't recognize the identities of the two, and asked, "Who are you?"
Just as Gu Yan was about to speak, someone behind the crowd suddenly shouted, "Get out of the way."
The crowd opened a gap on both sides, and a general in armor stepped out.Ye Zi had seen that person before, he was the attendant who accompanied Gu Yi when he was in Guangling.
The man bowed to the two of them and said: "My lord has been waiting for a long time, you two please."
The two were led into the coach's camp.
In the camp, Gu Yi was sitting in front of the table with two wine glasses in front of him.
He raised his eyes, but frowned in dissatisfaction: "The king obviously only invited Xiao Ye'er here, Gu Zicheng, are you so worried about him, do you have to come here?"
Gu Yan was also not polite, and said lightly: "Uncle Huang invites my concubine to meet late at night, so this king should be more careful."
Gu Yi clicked his tongue, and ordered the attendants: "Go, add another cup."
"No need." Gu Yan said, "There are important matters in the city, so it's inconvenient for us to stay for a long time."
Gu Yi was silent for a moment, then turned his head to give instructions to the attendant beside him.The attendant responded, got up and left the tent.
Gu Yi said to the two: "Sit first."
Gu Yan pulled Ye Zi to sit down beside the table.
Gu Yi poured a glass of wine into the cups in front of the two of them, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to entertain in the barracks, please forgive me."
Gu Yan didn't go to pick it up, but said: "Uncle, don't go around in circles, what do you want to say, just say it."
Gu Yi chuckled: "So I don't want you to come and talk to you, it's meaningless at all."
Gu Yan looked up at him and said, "Emperor Jinghe won't live until tomorrow morning."
Gu Yi paused, and Gu Yan continued: "Before leaving Chang'an, I accepted his edict."
The smile on Gu Yi's face completely subsided.He stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and said with a half-smile: "I see, then I will congratulate Zicheng first, he finally got what he wanted."
"Uncle Emperor, let's get straight to the point." Gu Yan said, "How exactly do you want to retreat?"
Gu Yi took a sip of his wine and said, "I fought all the way here from the fiefdom, and if you said I would retreat, I would retreat. Aren't I very shameless?"
Gu Yan took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi took the letter, glanced at it casually, and heard Gu Yan say again: "This is something I can promise to the emperor. If the emperor agrees, I am willing to make a truce with you in the name of the new emperor."
Gu Yi read the contents of the letter, put it aside, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Rui is sincere and sincere."
Ye Zi frowned.
Gu Yi said again: "Prince Ke Rui doesn't even think about it. I am now approaching the city. Tens of thousands of soldiers will attack Chang'an just waiting for my order. At that time, I will be able to sit on the world. The benefits you give, I can get a thousand times more than that."
Gu Yan seemed to have expected that he would say this, and said, "Uncle Huang is so confident, can you capture Chang'an?"
"To be honest, I have already transferred all the troops around me back to Chang'an. The city of Chang'an is impenetrable now. It may not be as easy for the emperor to capture Chang'an as he imagined."
"Moreover, the garrison far in the northwest received my news when the emperor raised his troops. Counting the days, the reinforcements should arrive in Chang'an within two days."
Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly: "When the time comes to pinch back and forth, Uncle Huang thinks your chance of winning is better, or mine is better?"
Gu Yi frowned slightly.
Gu Yan was silent for a moment, took out another thing from his bosom, and said unhurriedly: "There is still this thing, I think Uncle Huang will be interested."
Gu Yi didn't even look at it this time, and asked, "What is this?"
Gu Yandao: "Twenty years ago, Emperor Jinghe joined forces with Concubine Yu to spread the plague in Chang'an City, which is evidence of the murder of the former prince."
Gu Yi's expression changed.
Gu Yandao: "Uncle Huang, if you agree to withdraw the troops, I will send someone to thoroughly investigate the matter, find out the truth of the matter, and make it public. My father, and the people who were involved in this matter back then, I will not let They died in vain."
Gu Yi closed his eyes slightly, and did not answer for a long time.
At this moment, the camp tent was opened, and the sound of wheels rolling over the ground came from far to near.
Several people turned their heads, and an old man was sitting in a wheelchair and was slowly pushed into the tent.
The old man was gray-haired, emaciated, but in good spirits.The old man stopped in front of the crowd, he looked at Gu Yi, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the old man just heard it, so you just agree."
Gu Yi still didn't answer, but Gu Yan said, "This should be the rumored medical genius who has rejuvenated his body?"
The old man shook his head: "It's an old bone, and I can't bear such absurd praise. The old man just accidentally heard a few people outside, and he hoped that Prince Rui will make amends."
Gu Yan said: "It's okay, sir, there is no need to be like this."
The old man paused, and then said: "I didn't know people clearly 20 years ago, and I did something wrong. Fortunately, God coveted me and saved my life. Thanks to King Jing's care these years, I have lived in peace until now."
"The prince has been thinking about it for many years. But the old man understands in his heart that the prince just wants to find out the death of His Highness the former prince and overthrow the rule of the faint king. As for the throne..."
The old man smiled and said, "My lord, if you really wanted to be emperor, why did you cooperate with Prince Rui?"
Gu Yi let out a long breath, then suddenly leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair like a boneless person, and glanced at the old man: "Mr. Ge, you talk too much today, I don't know how well this king treats you. Save some face for this king."
The old man hastily confessed his guilt: "For the crime of grassroots, I ask the prince to make amends."
Gu Yi waved his hand: "Forget it, since this is the end of the matter, let's do it according to Prince Rui's conditions. However, Prince Rui, please keep in mind your promise today, and don't be dishonest. Otherwise..."
His gaze fixed on Ye Zi for a moment, and he said with a smile, "This king is still holding onto you."
When the two left the camp, it was already getting light.The sky seems to be wrapped in a layer of light-colored satin, and the cold wind howls through the mountains and forests, like a hundred beasts howling.
The two of them strolled back to the city on horseback, and as soon as they entered the city gate, someone hurried over.
"Your Majesty, you are back, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he is dying!"
No one knows how Emperor Jinghe came here that night.
His brief mental recovery last night was like a flashback, and since then, it has been constantly failing.Even soon, he couldn't move all over his body, and his mind was sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic.
The news that Gu Yan and Ye Zi left the imperial city overnight did not hide from anyone. Jing and Emperor lay on the bed, listening to the whispers of people around him, falling into unprecedented despair.
Gu Yangang refused his imperial edict, and then dragged Ye Zi out of the city.
What did he do?
Go to King Jing?
Not only him, everyone is worried and suspicious.
I don't know who started it, saying that Gu Yan turned his back on the battlefield and was about to attack the imperial city with King Jing.The concubines and palace servants began to pack their belongings, took away everything they could, and fled to the imperial city in a hurry.
For a while, everyone in the imperial city fled in panic, and there was no order at all.
The door of Emperor Jinghe's bedroom was open, and Emperor Jinghe was lying alone on the empty bed, and the surroundings were in chaos.He was in a daze, as if he could hear the fighting sounds of the rebels breaking through the imperial city.
Suddenly, there were light footsteps coming from far and near.
Gu Yan led the people into the bedroom.
He received the news from the gate of the city, rushed all the way back to the imperial city, stabilized the turmoil in the imperial city, and then brought a group of eunuchs and palace officials to the Jinghe Emperor's bedroom.
Emperor Jinghe didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. He felt someone approaching, so he tried to open his eyes: "It's you..."
The palace people knelt inside and outside the palace, and Gu Yan knelt beside Emperor Jinghe and asked, "Your Majesty, what else do you want to say?"
Emperor Jinghe's eyes were slack, and after a while, he said angrily, "My child...keep this world, and the rest...according to your ideas..."
His voice was too low, except for Gu Yan, no one else could hear what Emperor Jinghe was saying.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand to hold the old hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
After his words fell, the light in Emperor Jinghe's eyes completely dissipated, and he exhaled his last breath.
This generation of emperor, after being tortured by illness for more than a month, and struggling all night in pain and despair, was finally freed.
No one knew that Emperor Jinghe had left two imperial edicts before his death, let alone that he had already drafted an edict.In the end, Gu Yan, who was the last to see Emperor Jinghe, passed on the oral instructions of Emperor Jinghe.
——Emperor Jinghe wants to pass on the throne to the fifth prince, Gu Xu.
But thinking that the fifth prince was too young to take over the throne, so Prince Rui was temporarily appointed as the throne, and Gu Xu was named the crown prince.When the crown prince is able to be alone, Prince Rui will pass on the throne to him.
Gu Yan took control of the government for a month, and he eliminated many ministers who disobeyed him, both openly and secretly. Therefore, after this seal appeared, although some people doubted it, no one dared to refute it.
On the second day after Emperor Jinghe's death, King Jing withdrew his troops, and the crisis in Chang'an City was completely resolved.
Gu Yan neither accepted the edict to become emperor according to Emperor Jinghe's idea, nor gave up the throne directly, but chose a compromise method.
As the "acting emperor", he only needs to care about how to govern the world well on behalf of Gu Xu. As for spreading the branches and keeping the royal blood, he can leave it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Gu Yan's plan was carried out in an orderly manner, but the throne was changing from old to new, and the things to be dealt with were far from simple.Gu Yan was so busy every day that his feet never touched the ground, and Ye Zi also tried his best to help him share the load.
On this day, Ye Zi finished handling the affairs that Gu Yan ordered, and when he rushed back, it was already evening.
There were snowflakes fluttering in the sky, before Ye Zi walked back to the palace, he saw a servant who looked like a servant running towards him from a distance, and hurriedly said: "Princess, my lord, he..."
Gu Yan has not succeeded to the throne, so everyone still uses the old name.
When Ye Zi saw the appearance of this attendant, he thought something happened to Gu Yan.
Tomorrow is the succession ceremony, if something happened to Gu Yanruo, the consequences would be disastrous.Ye Zi didn't have time to ask more questions, so she dragged him back.But as soon as he turned around, the attendant suddenly sprayed a handful of white powder on his face.
Ye Zi was unprepared and took a sharp breath.
The medicinal powder should be specially prepared to deal with him, Ye Zi just inhaled it, and soon lost consciousness.
When Ye Zi woke up again, she was lying on a very soft place.He moved his fingers, only to realize that his whole body was bound by something like silk cloth, unable to move, and a piece of silk cloth of the same material was also covered over his eyes.
What surprised Ye Zi even more was that apart from the tightly wrapped silk cloth, he was not wearing a single thread.
Ye Zi struggled, but couldn't break free, so he could only wait patiently.
After a while, there was the sound of the door being pushed open not far away, and the sound of light footsteps from far to near.
Ye Zi heard the familiar footsteps, and instead of relieving his tension, he became even more uneasy.His plump, crystal-clear lips were pursed uncomfortably, with a notable tension.
There was no movement around him for a long time, Ye Zi tilted his head, and tentatively called out in a low voice, "Zi Cheng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand fell on his bare shoulder.
Gu Yan just came back from the outside, his fingertips were cold, which made Ye Zi flinch, but couldn't avoid it.The hand ran along his shoulder and neck, gradually upwards, brushed over his cheek, and landed on the piece of red silk covering his eyes.
Ye Zi didn't know whether it was excitement or nervousness that made her whole body tremble slightly, she couldn't help but said, "Zi Cheng, let me go."
Gu Yan didn't answer, the hand slipped down again, touching somewhere, Ye Zi only felt that the silk cloth on his body was a little loose.Those hands dexterously brushed the silk cloth on Ye Zi's body, as if peeling off a gift, and slowly peeled him out of the bondage.
Finally, Gu Yan lifted the red silk on his face.
Ye Zi's eyes were full of water, and he looked up at the gauze dome above his head, finally realizing where he was.
In the past few days, Gu Yan has already arranged the succession matters, and this place should be the new emperor's bedroom.According to the rules in the palace, when concubines go to bed, they must be tied up with silk cloth and placed on the emperor's dragon bed.
Realizing this, Ye Zi's cheeks blushed.
Ye Zi shrank back and said, "You, what are you going to do?"
Gu Yan listened to his words, with a smile in his eyes: "I made you like this, don't you understand what I'm going to do?"
The new emperor pressed close to Ye Zi's ear, and said in a low voice, "I want you to sleep with me."
It snowed all night, and the next morning, when Ye Zi woke up from the pain, she saw a strange gauze.He blinked in a daze, and it took him a while to realize where he was now.
A hand fell on his forehead.
Gu Yan stroked his hair and said warmly, "Are you awake?"
Ye Zi turned his head to look over, and the latter had already changed into a robe with golden silk cloud and dragon pattern, which made his figure slender, tall and straight, imposing.
Gu Yan pulled him up with a smile, took out a robe and put it on him: "Why are you in a daze, don't worry about it, the succession hall is about to begin."
Ye Zi was taken aback for a moment, only to realize later that today should be Gu Yan's succession ceremony.Ye Zi hurriedly got up, his sore muscles were involved in his movements, and he muttered, "Your Majesty is really energetic enough to torment me so much last night, knowing that there are still important things to do today."
"Who made you make a mistake in the first place." Gu Yan said confidently, "Before, I was too busy to punish you, but I can't just let you go."
Of course, it was about signing and leaving the book behind his back.
The new emperor is not only energetic, but also holds grudges.
After helping Ye Zi get dressed, Gu Yan stretched out his hand to him: "Come on, come with me to see the new world."
The two stepped out of the dormitory.
The sun rose and shone on the snow-covered imperial city, and it was quiet.
