Although she said that she couldn't go to the morning court, but in the end she only delayed the time for a stick of incense, and hurried to the main hall to attend the court.

Dai Ruyan straightened her skirt and looked at the person who hurried to the main hall, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she didn't look away until she couldn't see her.

Unexpectedly, this morning court was longer than usual, Dai Ruyan turned his head to look at the long corridor, but still no one came.

At that time, the palace maid outside the corridor called out in a low voice: "Empress Empress, please see me on behalf of the Prime Minister."

"Let him in."

The slender Dai Lang stepped into the pavilion and asked impatiently, "Sister, are you crazy?"

Dai Ruyan drank tea, frowned slightly and looked at Dai Lang: "Could it be possible that elder brother has forgotten the courtesy of a monarch and a minister?"

Only then did Dai Lang bow down and say, "Recently, the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom has been attacked frequently, and there are rumors that it was the Gong Kingdom."

"Now the two countries have just ceased fighting. Although the Sangrui Kingdom is small, if it is really pushed into a hurry, isn't the Empress afraid of His Majesty's reprimand?"

"How did brother know that this matter is related to this palace?"

"A few days ago, Gu Qing led his troops to leave the capital and went straight to the Sangjiao Kingdom to attack openly. Wasn't it arranged by the empress?"

For this aggressive words, Dai Ruyan was really displeased and said in a low voice: "Brother is so angry, isn't it because he took money from the emperor of Sanggu Kingdom?"

Dai Lang responded with evasive eyes: "You... how do you know?"

Dai Ruyan poured tea and said: "I don't know about Gu Qing's dispatch of troops. As an official of the imperial court, he leads troops privately to offend other countries. Brother should kill him immediately."

"It really has nothing to do with you...the empress?"

"Could it be possible for me to lie to my elder brother?"

Waiting for people to retreat into the pavilion, Dai Ruyan looked out of the window with a serious expression and said: "Hurry up and send someone to stop Gu Qing. If you resist, you will be punished on the spot."

"Yes." The hidden guard quietly responded.

But Dai Ruyan couldn't figure out why Gu Qing wanted to go to the Sangjiao country to pick trouble?

Is it to provoke disputes between the two countries?

What good does it do him to stir up disputes between the two countries?

There must be something strange about this.

When Ruyan was in a state of confusion, Gong Yu rushed into the pavilion from the corridor outside, the crown was still a little crooked.

"Ayan, what did you send Gu Qing to disturb the peace of the border?"

Dai Ruyan looked sideways at the person who was obviously eager to know the answer, and frowned slightly: "Xiao Jiu also thinks it's me?"

Gong Yu sat at the side and responded: "Gu Qing said that it was in the name of the empress, and now everyone in the palace knows about it."

"I didn't arrange this matter. Gu Qing's actions should be disturbing everyone."

"Really?"

"You doubt me?"

"I'm not suspicious, I'm just worried." Gong Yu was very worried that Dai Ruyan would do something irrational because of emotional instability.

Dai Ruyan pursed her lips and responded: "Gu Qing's intention is not just to interfere with the border, Xiao Jiu ordered him to be killed."

Gong Yu nodded and said, "I have sent people to the border to order Gu Qing and his men to be detained."

If Gu Qing intended to rebel, he shouldn't have sent troops to the border, but he spread rumors so vigorously, obviously for another purpose.

Could it be related to the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom?

Dai Ruyan secretly thought that it was not good, if Gu Qing also knew about the longevity medicine, then he must also know about the emperor of the Sangsong Kingdom.

"Ayan?" Seeing that Dai Ruyan's expression became more serious, Gong Yu thought she was angry because of what she just said.

"Xiao Jiu hastened to gather soldiers and horses in the border, Gu Qing, he may want to attack the Sangjiao Kingdom."

Gong Yu stared blankly at the serious Dai Ruyan, completely unable to figure out why Dai Ruyan thought that Gu Qing was going to attack the Sangguo Kingdom.

But things still happened as Dai Ruyan expected.

The troops gathered at the border were completely unable to stop Gu Qing's troops, and when the urgent report from the border came, Gong Yu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

The soldier reported that Gu Qing was as ferocious as a monster, and that the battle situation was critical, and even the soldiers of the Sangjiao Kingdom were breached of the city defense with little effort.

At the beginning of autumn, the heat of summer still hadn't subsided, and the capital of Sangguo Kingdom had been captured by Gu Qing, and Gu Qing even made himself king in Sangguoguo.

The situation was changing so fast that Gong Yu couldn't help being on guard, and hurriedly asked the firearms manufacturing battalion to step up the development of large-scale powerful firearms. Gu Qing might be able to attack Gongguo one day.

At that time, it will not be a political struggle, but a real rebellion.

"Xiao Jiu?" Dai Ruyan held the soup bowl and looked at the person who was thinking deeply.

"Ah."

Due to the cessation of the war in the Sangrui Kingdom, Gu Qing seemed to be silent, but the Manchu Dynasty was still attacking Gu Qing for not fulfilling his duties as a minister.

Gong Yu calmed down her thoughts and responded: "I was just thinking about the rumors that the soldiers had heard that Gu Qing had vines extending from his body, which seemed to have an inseparable relationship with the immortal pollen."

Dai Ruyan said hesitantly: "Maybe Gu Qing, like Zhao Anyue, combined with the immortality pollen."

Even Gu Qing coexisted with the Flower of Eternal Life better than Zhao Anyue, which is really a tricky existence.

"Ayan is still continuing to develop the longevity medicine?" Her words were indifferent and direct as if asking questions.

"Xiao Jiu..." Dai Ruyan wanted to tell the truth, but knew that she would not accept it, so he had no choice but to change his words: "I have had people burn the flower of eternal life."

Gong Yu's face seemed to relax a lot, she stretched out her hand to pick up the fishbone, and then put a piece of fish meat in the bowl in front of Dai Ruyan and said seriously: "I also think it's better to burn it, otherwise the flower of eternal life will be destroyed. Monsters."

Dai Ruyan tightened the wooden spoon in her hand, and asked in a low voice, avoiding her searching gaze, "Does Xiao Jiu think I'm a monster too?"

"I didn't say that." Gong Yu looked at this side and said very seriously: "Ayan is fine now, the flower of eternal life seems to make people very strange, I don't want Ayan to be affected. "

From Zhao Anyue back then to Gu Qing now, Gong Yu vaguely sensed that this flower of eternal life seemed to magnify the evil thoughts hidden in her heart step by step.

"Well, I see." Dai Ruyan didn't understand where did Gu Qing's immortality pollen come from?

Back then when he treated his father's illness, it was also a elixir that had been refined with immortality pollen, so it shouldn't have the same reaction as Zhao Anyue.

The most troublesome thing at present is that the emperor of Sangguo Kingdom is in the hands of Gu Qing, and the secret guards sent by Dai Ruyan several times have been killed.

The only one who came back alive only brought a letter from Gu Qing, and then died on the ground.

Gu Qing's letter was full of provocative and threatening words, and even stated that he would visit the palace soon.

This visit must be the meaning of war.

Dai Ruyan had no choice but to send people to strictly guard the capital, strengthen the city defense facilities, and even add a lot of firearms.

It's just that if the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom is gone, then the longevity medicine may really not be thought about.

It is rare for Dai Ruyan to feel so powerless, and even feel that she doesn't know what to do.

On the one hand, Dai Ruyan could only choose to hide because of Gong Yu's disapproval, on the other hand, Gu Qing blatantly sabotaged Dai Ruyan's plan, but Dai Ruyan had to keep silent because of Gong Yu's reason.

It's just that the flower of eternal life cannot be destroyed, even if it is used to defend against Gu Qing, it must be kept.

In the evening, Ruyan sat alone in the pavilion after taking a bath, and she was holding a memorial at the side, and she had no intention of resting at all.

Dai Ruyan casually flipped through the book in her hand, looked sideways at her, got up and walked to her side and said, "It's late at night, you should rest."

She stretched out her hands, rubbed her eyes and shook her head, "Ayan, go to bed first, I'll go to sleep after reviewing the rest."

"This memorial can't be finished, so it's not too late to save it until tomorrow. Why do you have to exhaust yourself?"

"Not tired." She smiled and held Dai Ruyan's hand, stood up and watched Dai Ruyan walk towards the low couch.

There was only one candlestick left in the pavilion, so it seemed a little dim.

The two lay side by side, she stretched out her arms and lightly encircled Dai Ruyan, and her whole body was tightly stuck to her.

She was not like this when it was hot in the past, and the weather never turned cold even in autumn. She only pretended to be sleeping, so she was so peaceful.

Although Dai Ruyan saw through it, she didn't say anything. She just looked sideways, moved a little closer, and kissed her serious and tight lips.

She couldn't pretend anymore, so she had to open her eyes and kiss back, her eyes were bright looking at this direction, the corners of her mouth raised with a smile and said: "Just now I was allowed to rest, but now Ayan is teasing me badly again."

"Did A Yan think about it?"

Before she finished speaking, she raised her head and leaned over, Dai Ruyan looked at her while lying flat, and raised her fingertips to lightly touch her soft earlobes.

She bent her eyebrows and kissed intimately, Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes and whispered: "Xiao Jiu..."

"Huh?" She paused and responded.

Dai Ruyan gently held her hand that was lightly tugging at the belt, put it to her mouth, kissed the back of her hand and said earnestly: "You need a good rest."

Probably these words were too serious, and she also knew that Dai Ruyan didn't intend to get close, so she lay down lazily on the side.

The sound of cicadas outside had already weakened a lot, she naughtily brushed Dai Ruyan's palm with her fingertips and said, "I'm just a little worried."

"worry about what?"

"Gu Qing covets Ayan, if he makes a comeback, it doesn't matter if the throne is lost, but I'm afraid I won't be able to protect Ayan."

"Stupid." Dai Ruyan took her hand lightly, leaned his head and kissed her forehead and said softly, "You are doing very well now, even if Gu Qing uses the help of the Flower of Eternal Life, he alone cannot destroy the entire dynasty. Church."

"But the ancient country of Sangrui was broken by him in just a few days, so it can be seen that he is really powerful in leading the army."

Her eyes were no longer that bright smile, but filled with fear and worry, which made Dai Ruyan blame herself.

For a long time, Dai Ruyan only wanted to protect her, but he didn't want her to think so far.

So she never paid any attention to the impeachment of the empress by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Because she understands that the safest thing is to have soldiers in her hands, and she even took the initiative to hand over the defense of the capital to Dai Ruyan. This is not only her trust in herself, but more importantly, she is ensuring that Dai Ruyan No one can shake Queen Yan's authority.

Dai Ruyan eased her thoughts, and said with a smile like she used to: "Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid, we'll be fine."

She blinked, and lightly touched Dai Ruyan's cheek with her forehead and said, "Well, I won't let anything happen to you."

What a fool, it's only okay if we're okay.

Since then, she has become more and more busy, and Dai Ruyan also has many things to deal with.

It is not easy for Gu Qing to destroy the country by himself, but if Gu Qing uses the flower of eternal life to cultivate a group of dead men, it will be like the existence of the Jinzhou Poison Rebellion.

It's just that Dai Ruyan didn't know the life and death of the emperor of Sanggu Kingdom, so he hesitated all the time and never made a move.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the capital of the palace is very lively, so Dai Ruyan prepared the palace banquet early.

When the banquet was over in the middle of the night, she leaned over wearily and said, "This group of ministers really overwhelmed everyone. After Gong Ling was beheaded, the money and mansions that she originally owned were divided up one after another."

"If this is the case of Gong Guo's collapse, it is estimated that they would like to occupy their respective lands and become kings immediately."

Dai Ruyan gently held her hanging hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

With a light kiss on her side face, she smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of them, it's just that Ayan seems to be in a bad mood recently, which makes me very worried."

"Maybe it's because I'm too busy."

"Yeah, it's been a troubled time recently."

After entering the palace, the palace servants retreated outside, Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand to untie the lace of her dragon robe, she stretched out her arms to tightly encircle Dai Ruyan, rubbed her cheek affectionately and whispered: "I really want to do nothing, I took Ayan to hide in the deep mountains and old forests."

Dai Ruyan gently leaned towards her, smiled and said, "Okay."

She didn't want to but looked at Dai Ruyan in surprise, and asked as if sizing her up: "Ah Yan really wants to?"

"Why don't you want to?"

But she hesitated and didn't answer, and said after a long time: "Sure enough, it's still not possible."

"why?"

"Ayan, just treat what I just said as nonsense."

Dai Ruyan approached in puzzlement, "Why not?"

"The throne is very important. Only with the throne can I protect Ayan, so I have to guard the throne well."

She said that, as if she had gained confidence again.

When the weather finally turned cold, Gu Qing led a large army to attack the Palace Kingdom.

As expected, he led a group of soldiers who looked like poisonous men from Jinzhou to the capital.

As more and more territories within the Palace Kingdom were occupied, the situation in the court became more and more severe.

During the cold dew, the flames of war intensified, but rumors suddenly emerged in the capital that the emperor of the Palace Kingdom was a woman in disguise.

Such dangerous remarks are tantamount to splitting the court even more. Gong Yu was busy arranging troops and sending new types of artillery to the front line, and ignored such remarks.

In the afternoon, the setting sun illuminated the hall in a golden color, Gong Yu rubbed her eyes, and looked at the topographical map of the current battle situation in front of her.

All the generals that can be dispatched from the court have been transferred from the capital. Gu Qing is too familiar with the deployment of troops in the court, and even knows how many soldiers and horses Gong Yu has in his hands.

This is a very disadvantageous thing in war.

When Dai Ruyan entered the hall from the long corridor, he saw Gong Yu staring at the map with a serious expression.

"Little Nine..."

"Hmm." Gong Yu responded by turning her head sideways.

"what are you worried about?"

"I'm thinking of a better place to set up an ambush."

"Ambush?" Dai Ruyan approached to the side and responded, "What are you going to do with the ambush?"

Gong Yu nodded and said: "I need a flat place, preferably suitable for burying gunpowder, to deal with Gu Qing's men and horses."

"Then choose this place in the south of the Qingling Mountains. The terrain is flat and an ambush is set up, but..."

"Just what?"

"Since Gu Qing is only interested in the terrain here, he should avoid it."

"That's right, Gu Qing is proficient in the terrain and fortresses of the palace, which is why he can go all the way to the capital."

What kind of situation would make Gu Qing want to go here?

In the early morning of the next day, the front line came to report that the three generals had been killed, but there were no more generals in the court.

Gong Yu wanted to put herself in danger, so she told Dai Ruyan about it, but she didn't want Dai Ruyan to reject it.

"No." Dai Ruyan was sitting opposite Gong Yu and said, "This is absolutely wrong."

"But the front line needs generals, and the court's delay in sending troops and horses will distract the army. This battle may be even more difficult to end."

"The defense of the capital is very strong, and it is safest for Xiao Jiu to stay in the palace."

"What should the tens of thousands of soldiers and common people do?"

Dai Ruyan met her worried eyes, but couldn't say what remained on his lips.

In the past dynasties, the replacement of people would not be more dangerous than the emperor, not to mention that the current war is raging, if something happens on the battlefield, the emperor is the first to be easily killed.

"I won't allow it." Dai Ruyan had no choice but to say these dry words, holding her hand tightly in his palm and muttering: "You are not allowed to leave me."

The longevity medicine is not a medicine for bringing the dead back to life. If something really happens, even if it can be refined into a medicine for longevity, it will not help.

Because of this matter, the two had disagreements after a long absence, or Dai Ruyan unilaterally forbade Gong Yu from coming in and out.

In addition to Dai Ruyan's handling of affairs in the court, Gong Yu would not have been able to see the memorial.

It's just that the longer the time dragged on, the closer the flames of war approached the capital. One morning when Dai Ruyan went to the court, Gong Yu was groping around in the palace.

If there were secret passages in the palace, Gong Yu guessed that there must be secret passages in this palace as well.

When a vase was turned around, the secret door was revealed. Gong Yu walked in holding the candlestick, but came across the basement full of vines, and there was an old man in robes, his limbs were still tied with chains, obviously suppressed .

Gong Yu was shocked to see that it was like the side hall that had been burned back then, and couldn't help feeling angry and annoyed.

Annoyed that Dai Ruyan did not give up refining the elixir of longevity for a while, and annoyed that Dai Ruyan could deceive herself again and again.

It felt like a heavy blow with a stick, which made Gong Yu unable to recover.

It's a terrible thing to be kept in the dark by the people you trust the most.

The appearance of the hidden guards prevented Gong Yu from wanting to set fire, but Gong Yu had no choice but to return to the hall.

Pushing all the neatly arranged memorials to the side, waiting outside, the maid ran in quickly when she heard the sound inside.

"Get out!" Gong Yu scolded angrily.

The maid hurriedly left the palace, and Gong Yu sat quietly by the window where Dai Ruyan used to stay, not knowing what to do.

I don't remember how long it took, the outside gradually became brighter, and the bead curtain swayed slightly, and Shi Ruyan came back from the outside.

The inner hall was already a mess, Dai Ruyan was about to step forward, but happened to see the hidden door that had not been closed, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The man was leaning against the window with a pale face, his eyes were annoyed and innocent.

Dai Ruyan stepped forward distressedly and called, "Xiao Jiu, listen to my explanation."

"I don't want to hear your explanation."

"Little Nine?"

She got up and wanted to leave the hall, Dai Ruyan stretched out his arms and hurriedly embraced her and said in panic: "Xiao Jiu, you said you would not leave me."

"Did you ask Gu Qing to go to the Sangjiao Kingdom to get the blood of the Sangjiao Kingdom's royal family?"

Dai Ruyan shook his head and responded: "Xiao Jiu, you believe me, it was not my arrangement for Gu Qing to attack the Sanggu Kingdom."

"Okay, then tell me that you don't want the royal blood of the Sangruo Kingdom, and you don't want to secretly refine the longevity medicine?"

"I……"

She watched with a serious expression, and Dai Ruyan was afraid that she would do something else out of anger, so she could only truthfully say: "I really want the purest blood of the royal family of the Sangsu Kingdom to refine the elixir of longevity."

After the words fell, she suddenly became quiet, looking at Dai Ruyan helplessly in her eyes, lightly touching Dai Ruyan's cheek with her palm and whispering: "Ayan, wake up."

"If it's because of this that I don't attack Gu Qing, think about the dead soldiers and common people of the palace. Longevity is of no use to me."

Apparently, she had decided in her heart that this battle was a game she had set up for her pursuit of the elixir of longevity.

That's why she can say such ruthless words, she must be angry to say that, Dai Ruyan comforted herself like this.

But there will still be some severe dull pain in her heart, as if her words are useless, and all her expectations for these years have been completely denied.

Dai Ruyan calmed down a lot before asking, "Then Xiao Jiu doesn't want to be with me forever?"

She pulled away Dai Ruyan's clenched hand, and replied calmly: "Ayan, let me send troops out of the capital?"

Although it was not denied, she changed the subject so calmly, obviously unwilling to talk about it again.

But Dai Ruyan was not willing to let her go out of the city to take risks, and the two of them were in a stalemate. She was so stubborn that she didn't have a bite of food for two days, and her face became paler and paler.

Dai Ruyan was distressed and had to agree to her leading the army, and her dim eyes just lit up.

The news of the emperor's expedition spread quickly. Dai Ruyan stayed up all night before the expedition. He looked at the emperor's armor placed aside. Only the emperor was qualified to wear the golden armor.

She put on the heavy armor awkwardly by herself, her face was like a sculpture, and she sat quietly without giving her any help.

It wasn't until morning when the palace officials reported outside that she stood aside for a while with the helmet in her hand, and then she said, "I'm leaving."

Dai Ruyan was still reluctant to hold her, she turned her head in a daze, as if surprised, raised her hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of Dai Ruyan's eyes and said: "Don't worry, I prepared very well this time, and I will soon I'm back."

"I won't let you go."

"But Ayan should know, I have to go." Her eyes said firmly: "Otherwise I am not worthy to be the emperor of this palace."

"then what do I do?"

"Ayan, take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Never seen her turn and leave so resolutely, Dai Ruyan couldn't tell if it was just a dream.

After waking up from the dream, she was still by her side like that day.

It's just that Dai Ruyan knew it wasn't a dream, because she really left.

And Dai Ruyan couldn't go with her, the emperor went out to fight, and there must be someone guarding the court hall behind.

Every night Dai Ruyan wanted to go out of the palace to see her immediately, but every day at dawn, Dai Ruyan knew that she would not be able to go, even if she left the court for a day, there might be troubles.

However, the battle on the front line has been stalemate for half a month, and Dai Ruyan has never received a letter from Gong Yu, and the letter sent by him seems to have disappeared like a stone.

Is she still angry with herself?

Since Dai Ruyan couldn't see her, he couldn't figure out her thoughts, so he had to send a letter every day, as if this could make him feel at ease.

At the beginning of winter, the weather was getting colder and colder, Dai Ruyan sewed the inner robes in time and sent someone to send them over, only then did he get a reply letter from her.

When the thin letter paper was tightly held in her hands, Dai Ruyan actually felt a little uneasy, for fear that she would be as indifferent as when she left.

In the middle of the night, when the candles in the hall were mostly ignited, Dai Ruyan calmed down, slowly unfolded the long letter paper, and saw the short words.

【Everything is fine, don't miss it】

The words were so few that Dai Ruyan couldn't figure out what she was thinking. If Dai Ruyan hadn't been familiar with her handwriting, Dai Ruyan would not have been sure that she had left these few words after not seeing her for more than a month.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is lost in her heart, but she can't help but think that she must still be angry, otherwise she would not mention the robe, or say a few words on Weibo, but Dai Ruyan is reluctant to put down the letter.

But he didn't expect that there were two characters at the end of the long rolled-up letter paper. Dai Ruyan's eyes lit up slightly, and he rubbed the handwriting lightly with his fingertips, as if his expression became inexplicably shy.

【Miss you. 】

She has always been the kind of person who won't get angry, Dai Ruyan knows it.

The night was long and the wind was bleak outside the window, probably with this letter paper as a companion, it would not make Dai Ruyan feel so hard.

The colder the weather when it snows, the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be. If the canals are frozen and the grain and grass cannot reach the front line, that is the worst time.

Often in this era, Ruyan is in a bad mood every day, and even the ministers in the court dare not make a sound.

Fortunately, there are not many people in Gu Qing's team. When Dai Ruyan received the battle report from the front line, she learned that she used firearms very skillfully.

It was about to lure Gu Qing's remaining troops into the Qinglingnan ambush area, and the success or failure of the war depended on it.

Dai Ruyan had previously learned that Gu Qing had sent several groups of people to search for the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom when he attacked the Sanggu Kingdom, and at this time he finally got the news.

The dark guards traveled day and night to transport the body of the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom back to the capital, and it took seven to seven days to refine the elixir, and it was only a few days after calculation.

Regardless of the battle situation, Dai Ruyan made up his mind to bring the pill to the front line to find her.

The farther away from her Dai Ruyan can't help worrying, only seeing her with his own eyes can Dai Ruyan's heart settle down.

Especially in the Qinglingnan battle, if Gu Qing resisted desperately, this battle would be the most dangerous, Dai Ruyan was still afraid that she would carelessly underestimate the enemy.

In previous years, it snowed early, but this year, the first snow did not fall until the heavy snow season.

Dai Ruyan stayed up all night, looking at the cauldron in the secret room full of vines, the old Taoist carefully took out the elixir and said, "Your empress is here."

"Is this medicine refined?"

"Refined according to the ancient method, if there is a elixir of longevity in the world, this is it."

"Please trouble the national teacher to take one first?" Dai Ruyan said vigilantly.

The old Taoist in Taoist robe stretched out his hand to take the elixir, and said with a natural smile: "So the empress is so trustworthy?"

Dai Ruyan accepted the only two remaining pills and replied, "Does the national teacher know that the ancient country of Sangguo has been destroyed?"

"What did the empress do?"

"I heard that the national teacher of the Sanggu Kingdom is also the most honorable person in the Sanggu Kingdom, but he is not welcomed by the emperor. The reason is because of the queen."

The old Taoist smiled, and his mild eyes were full of murderous intent, and said: "It's all old things."

"Really?" Dai Ruyan said nothing, just turned around and walked outside.

The hidden guard at the side closed the stone gate, Dai Ruyan turned his head to look back at the dark room and said: "Let this old Taoist never be released from this stone gate. If he is fine tomorrow, he will be killed."

"Yes."

The status of the national teacher of the Sangrui Kingdom is higher than that of the emperor, and even the national teacher and the emperor are related by blood, but under what circumstances can a person hear that his country has been destroyed, but still laugh it off, one can imagine how vicious this old man's heart is .

Holding the medicine box in his hand, Dai Ruyan anxiously arranged for people to leave the palace, as if the heavy snow outside could not affect Dai Ruyan's good mood at all.

The carriage left the palace overnight, but Dai Ruyan felt that the carriage was too busy, so he put on a cloak and rode on the horse.

When the wind and snow got heavier, the horses' speed slowed down a lot. Dai Ruyan held the reins in his hand and looked ahead, and the guard beside him said: "It's really dangerous to go this way."

"It's okay."

It wasn't until dawn that Dai Ruyan saw the barracks stationed in the distance, although he still needed to go around for a while, but looking at her like this, it seemed that he was looking at her in front of him, and there was no smile on his face for a long time.

"drive!"

The group of people rushed on without stopping, looking at the camp in front of them, they didn't want to hurry but it took most of the day.

As the evening approached, when Dai Ruyan rode his horse to the camp, he was a little surprised.

The camp that I saw early in the morning is now in ruins. Dai Ruyan got off his horse, the horses beside him neighed uneasy, and the guards drew their swords to protect him.

"There's something wrong with this place!"

The vines that suddenly emerged from the soil went straight through the bodies of several hidden guards beside them, and the blood was absorbed by the vines like a spring.

Dai Ruyan patrolled around, and saw that the vine seemed to grow a little longer, and when it was rushing towards Dai Ruyan, it stopped suddenly.

"Ayan?" Gu Qing suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, her armor couldn't see the original color at all, it was all covered with bright red blood at the moment.

He smiled and looked over carefully, Dai Ruyan subconsciously hid the medicine box hidden in the sleeve pocket of his right arm behind his back.

But the ankles were naturally bound tightly by the vines, Gu Qing strolled to the front and sighed in surprise, "It's really you!"

"Ayan, you make me think so hard." Gu Qing raised his arm, and Dai Ruyan saw that it might not be called a human arm at all. It was covered with green vines, and even jumped out of the flesh and blood. .

Dai Ruyan stared at the surrounding area, only to realize that this might be an ambush set up by her, but she just happened to break into it.

"How did you become like this?" After understanding the situation, Dai Ruyan stalled for time,

Gu Qing said fiercely, "I want to become stronger."

"So you took some flowers of immortality from me?"

"Ayan, look, even if I don't have a single soldier, they still dare not come out to fight with me." Gu Qing rested her palm lightly on Dai Ruyan's cheek, and said with madness in her eyes: "Are you mine!"

"But you can't be called human at all now."

"What's the use of people!"

These words seemed to irritate Gu Qing, and the surrounding vines quickly rolled up and scattered the tents that had not yet collapsed.

This power is far stronger than that of Zhao Anyue back then, and even Dai Ruyan wanted to know how much pollen Gu Qing used, or what other poisons were added to cause this situation.

Dai Ruyan calmed down and replied, "Do you want to be emperor?"

"No, I don't want to be emperor." Gu Qing looked at Dai Ruyan Ying with soft eyes again: "I only want you."

"But you only think about that little emperor, Ayan, you were not such a person before."

"Maybe you didn't see through me. I'm such a vain person."

"I do not believe!"

The vines and Dai Ruyan's hands were gently entwined, Gu Qing looked at Dai Ruyan with red eyes and said, "Are you here to accompany that little emperor to die for love?"

"Yes, again?"

"Then don't think about it!"

Dai Ruyan struggled with his arms, but unexpectedly the medicine box hidden in the sleeve pocket of his right arm suddenly fell aside.

The vine quickly picked up the medicine box, Gu Qing opened the medicine box in confusion, and asked with calculating eyes, "What is this?"

"Could this be the longevity medicine you have worked so hard to develop?"

"No." Dai Ruyan replied.

Gu Qing's eyes were full of enthusiasm, smiled and sighed: "Ayan, you are not as calm and steady as before."

"This is clearly the longevity medicine!"

Dai Ruyan looked at the medicine box held by Gu Qing, and couldn't help being very worried, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want?"

"I originally wanted Gong Yu to come out and die." Gu Qing looked sideways at the two pills, then paused and said, "But now I've changed my mind."

"Don't you want to live forever with her?"

"Then I'll let you watch her die of old age in front of your eyes. The only one who can live forever with you is me."

Dai Ruyan struggled with his hands but still couldn't use his strength, and said calmly: "This medicine is not as strong as the recovery ability of the Immortal Flower. Even if I take the medicine, I can live forever, but if I commit suicide, I still won't live long. of."

Gu Qing stretched out her palm to hold Dai Ruyan's throat tightly, and said with a smile: "I never put anyone on Miss Dai, but now I'm really moved to commit suicide because of love."

Dai Ruyan, who was getting more and more out of breath, was unable to speak until Gu Qing suddenly let go of his hand and swallowed the elixir.

"You!" Dai Ruyan looked at Gu Qing out of breath, wishing he could kill Gu Qing in front of him.

Gu Qing laughed loudly and said, "It's really the first time I've seen Ayan's expression like this, it's really scary!"

"It's a pity that with Ayan's personality, the old way of refining medicine must have been silenced."

The surrounding area became darker and darker, Dai Ruyan said in a low voice: "Give me the elixir."

Even if there is only one, maybe it can be developed again in the future, or it must be left to her. She has always been very weak. I heard that she suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield this time. This medicine is always useful .

Gu Qing shook her head, looked down at Dai Ruyan and said, "Unless you eat it, I would rather feed this pill to the dogs than give you a chance to leave it to the little emperor."

"Okay, you give me to eat."

"Dai Ruyan, I don't want to let you lead me by the nose. I can tell at a glance that you are thinking of others." Gu Qing patted Dai Ruyan's cheek with her palm and said: "This little medicine emperor If you don’t die for a day, I won’t give it to you for a day.”

Dai Ruyan turned her head to avoid Gu Qing's outstretched hand and said, "Aren't you afraid that this is poison?"

"Poison?" Gu Qing laughed loudly, "Even if it's poison, I'm already immortal, so why should I be afraid of poison?"

"Besides, Dai Ruyan, don't you feel that your eyes are betraying yourself?"

"What do you mean?"

Gu Qing said nothing, just made a gesture to throw out the medicine box in her hand, and hurriedly called on behalf of Ruyan: "Don't!"

"Now admit that this is the longevity medicine?"

"Well, this is the only one left." Dai Ruyan was afraid that he would destroy this last hope.

"Ayan, do you know what you look like now?"

Dai Ruyan didn't say a word, Gu Qing played with the medicine box in his hand, and the pill in it rang loudly and said: "You are like me who was once threatened by you with the flower of eternal life."

"She was unconscious in Jinzhou at that time, obviously unable to climb up, but you threatened me to take you up."

"That's what you asked of me."

Gu Qing looked at Dai Ruyan with killing intent in her eyes and said, "When you only focused on her who was about to die, did you ever take care of me who was covered in blood?"

The vines became tighter and tighter due to Gu Qing's emotions, and the bones in his wrists were strangled in pain, Dai Ruyan gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"Let me tell you Dai Ruyan, today is different from the past, I will soon be the king of the palace kingdom."

"You are dreaming!"

"I will let you watch how I cut your beloved little emperor to the bone, and even let you watch me drink her blood."

Dai Ruyan looked at Gu Qing with murderous intent and sighed: "You can't do it, since you step into Qinglingnan, you are destined not to get out."

Dai Ruyan in the mountains behind Gu Qing clearly saw the light of the flames, obviously that was the camp where she was stationed.

What a pity, Dai Ruyan, who always thought about Zhou, never thought that he would miss her because of being too impatient.

But this only negligence made Dai Ruyan maybe never see her again, even though Dai Ruyan recognized the current situation, he still felt unwilling.

It's almost time to see her.
