The weather in Kyoto is always changing.

With the growth of age, the emperor who is about to die is no longer as decisive as he was when he was young, and he has been able to withstand the toss. The scene went into a rage and became seriously ill. Immediately after waking up, the emperor ordered the prince, a bastard who violated human relations, to be imprisoned in the sky prison, and the seventh princess was also confined in the princess' bedroom and was not allowed to contact anyone.

The prince who was thrown into prison?Have you ever heard of such a thing in all dynasties?

Everyone knows that the crown prince's position is in jeopardy.

But when you think about it carefully, it's really weird. No matter how confused the prince is, how could he do such an unethical thing with his half-sister on his son's full moon wine?The prince insisted that he saw Gu Jingzhi, Minister of the Household Department, and the Seventh Princess Rongyi hanging out in the garden that day, and wanted to stop him, but suddenly he was knocked out by someone, and when he woke up, he found that he and Rongyi were disheveled. Hugging together is really wronged; the seventh princess Rongyi knew that she had made a big mistake, and she also realized that she was used by the prince and Qi Xuexuan as a tool for killing when she saw the prince sneaking behind the bushes with a sword , so she said that Qi Xuexuan lied to her to go to the garden, but unexpectedly, she was violated by her brother with a human face and heart, and asked His Majesty to make the decision; besides, Qi Xuexuan refused to admit it even to the death, saying that she had nothing to do with this matter... …

Three people, each sticking to their own words, can't stop arguing.

Rong Yi, whose reputation was ruined, would not let these two people go. She said with certainty that if the prince hadn't violated her, what happened to them would be because she, a weak woman, forced a tall man like him ?When the prince heard Rong Yi's confession, he immediately told about the Begonia flower, but in order not to leave any evidence, the Begonia flower used a time-limited fragrance powder, which will completely evaporate after a while, and the fragrance inside No one can find out...

This time, even if the prince jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clean himself up.

The court was full of wind and clouds, and the courtiers seemed to feel the thunderous anger of His Majesty who was sick and insisted on going to the court every day, and it seemed that the next second the edict to abolish the prince would come out of his mouth, all of which were malicious. The power of the queen's own family helped to stabilize the situation temporarily.

On this day, Su Li received a summons from the queen, asking him to enter the palace.This matter did not comply with the regulations, but the emperor was ill, so the supervision of the affairs of the harem was not so strict.

Su Li was brought into the Fengyi Palace, and he knelt on the ground respectfully, "The empress is a thousand years old."

The huge Fengyi Palace was dead silent, and the queen sitting on the seat did not move for a long time.It seemed that he had made up his mind to impress the people in the seat. When Su Li's legs were almost numb from his knees, the Queen's cold and majestic voice came from the seat.

"Head up."

Su Li slowly raised her face, and calmly looked at this elegant, glamorous woman. Except for the gray hair at the temples, it seemed that time had not left too many traces on this woman.

The queen asked in a dignified manner without anger: "You are Gu Jingzhi?"

"It's the subordinate."

The queen caressed her long nails, glanced at Su Li and then turned her eyes away, as if the lowly status of the servant did not deserve her to pay more attention, "I have already heard from the crown prince about the matter between you and the Seventh Princess Rongyi. You are so courageous. If the accusation of cheating on the princess and framing the crown prince is spread, everyone will be punished. But I remember that you came from a humble family, and everyone in your family died of the disease long ago, so it was easy. "

Hearing the queen's obviously insulting taunt, Su Li's whole body froze, his hands under the sleeves were clenched suddenly, and then released, he looked at the queen fixedly, and said in a cold tone: "I don't know that the queen is here. What are you talking about, the Seventh Princess Rong Yi and I are innocent, except for a quick meeting between the state banquet and the banquet during the full moon of His Royal Highness, we haven't even spoken to each other, and I don't know where the rumors came from that made the empress misunderstand Official. Although the lower official came from a poor family, his family tradition is strict. Before he got married, he kept a distance from any lady in any family and never overstepped. Unlike some famous nobles who used the name of moral heirs, they did a lot of corruption in private. Matters of human relations. The empress is from a famous family and is noble, so I think she will definitely not listen to those nonsense outside, the empress is aware of it."

The queen is used to the cynicism in the upper class, but she has never seen anyone from a humble background dare to talk to her like this. She only thinks that Su Li's words are disrespectful to herself, but she never thought that she would take Gu Jing It is a serious humiliation for a scholar like Gu Jingzhi who has both loyalty and filial piety.

The hand with the long nails slapped the table, causing the teacup to overflow. The queen suppressed the gushing anger and sneered, "What a sharp mouth, no wonder it made His Majesty turn around. I won't talk to you either!" Beat around the bush, no matter whether you have done those things or not, the reason I called you here today is to hope that you will go to His Majesty and take the initiative to admit the crime of the crown prince, saying that you and the seven princesses fell in love with each other, and happened to be smashed by the crown prince during the private meeting. , you started thinking of blaming him. Don't worry, I will do my best to save your life, and I will persuade His Majesty to betroth the princess to you. I know that you may have wronged you because of your ability to be only a concubine. But have you ever thought that with your background, in the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty, a mere minister is already the top of the sky, and the position at the top is not what a poor student like you should expect. But It will be different if you become a son-in-law. I promise you in the name of Duke Luo’s Mansion and Marshal Zhenqi that the offspring you and the princess will give birth to will receive the support of these two super-famous families. After 20 years, your Gu family will definitely be able to join the ranks. One of the top ten families, you don't have to worry about the crown prince, as long as I'm here, even if he becomes the emperor, he will definitely not be able to touch you...Master Gu, think about it carefully."

After finishing speaking, the queen raised her chin, looked at Su Li with haughty eyes as if giving alms, and said that she wanted him to consider, but in her opinion, no man in the world could refuse such a temptation, Gu Jingzhi It is said that they will not accept bribes, but how can real money be compared with the interests of this kind of shelter for future generations?In the final analysis, with Gu Jingzhi's background, if it weren't for the prince's real disaster, how could such a good thing happen to him?

Su Li hooked the corners of his mouth sarcastically. The top ten great families of the Great Zhou existed in ancient times, but there had been no changes on the list for a hundred years. The power of Marshal Qi is really powerful. No wonder the crown prince can still sit in the position of crown prince after going through so many crises. He is just a gunman, and all the things that offend people are left to the original owner, while the forces behind him are well hidden, and he can get the throne without harming a single soldier.Fortunately, Gu Jingzhi thought that the position of the crown prince was in danger, so he protected him and devoted himself to him, but in the end he still couldn't escape the fate of killing the donkey. It's really pitiful.

Seeing him thinking about it for so long, the queen couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and urged, "Have you thought about it?"

"I don't need to think about it. Justice is at the heart of the heart. The queen's order is hard to follow!" Su Li replied loudly, looking straight at the queen with a pair of clear eyes, and her straight waist seemed to be bent and bent. Qingzhu, the queen was shocked when she saw it.

The queen didn't believe that there was really anyone in this world who could refuse such a condition. She thought about it, and said angrily, "It's really tough, who gave you such confidence? Fifth prince? Sixth prince? Could it be the great general?" The third prince of Zhi? What did they promise you to pull the prince off the horse? They can give you double the palace they gave you! So, are you still not willing?"

Su Li remained silent, looking unmoved.The queen asked him to be the crown prince's scapegoat, not to mention the enmity between him and the crown prince, this family is going back on their promises, isn't there a lot of things like revenge?What's more, with the character of the original owner himself, the crown prince and Qi Xuexuan were to blame themselves. He would never accept such a thing of turning black and white and helping the evildoers.

The queen smiled angrily, "Gu Jingzhi, what a Gu Jingzhi! Jingzhi, Jingzhi, you are so focused on fighting for power and profit, how can you have the face to face the parents who gave you this name under Quanxia! Disaster in the court, instigation It is a pity that Da Zhou has a courtier like you!"

Su Li cupped his hands, his eyes were firm, "Your Majesty is wrong, what is 'quietness'? Green is the original color of all things, and if you strive for it from green, you will be quiet! When the father named the minister, he hoped that the minister would be on this road. In the official career, advance bravely, don't forget your original intention, and don't lose your integrity as a scholar because of immediate interests!"

The queen trembled violently with anger, and her beautiful face became hideous with anger. She held the tea cup tightly in her hand, looked at Su Li's calm and fearless face, and stretched out her hand to slap the tea cup together with the scalding hot water. Hit the person under the seat.

"What a contender from the youth! Gu Jingzhi! Shuzi! Get lost!"

Su Li tilted his head and missed the teacup, but the overflowing tea still scalded his forehead, leaving a red mark.

Su Li got up from the ground, and glanced at the queen indifferently, "Your Majesty, summoning the ministers into the palace today is already against the palace rules, and what she said is even more disrespectful to the queen's virtue. I will report everything that happened today to Your Majesty truthfully, please." Empress is good for herself."

After finishing speaking, he strode towards the outside of Fengyi Palace, leaving the queen collapsed on the seat alone, her chest heaving unceasingly.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of Fengyi Palace, Su Li saw Rong Jue who was rushing towards him in anger. His pale handsome face was full of rage, and the moment he saw Su Li, the rage disappeared and he became nervous. extremely.Rong Jue pulled him aside for Xiaoting, hurriedly touched it up and down, and asked in a low voice: "That old woman didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Su Li chuckled, all the unhappiness encountered by Fengyi Palace was swept away by his "old woman".Rong Jue is probably the only one in the world who dares to call the mother-in-law's empress "old woman" like that.Thinking about it, Rong Jue had always been the heir apparent in everyone's hearts before the cold spell, and he was bullied and suppressed by the queen in private, of course, much more than Su Li.

"Don't worry, she didn't dare to do anything to me, on the contrary she was almost pissed off by me." Su Li blinked at him, Rong Jue felt relieved, hugged him and kissed him, he had already told the guards not to His permission forbids anyone from approaching the kiosk.

Hearing what he said, Rong Jue's heart sank a little, but when he was about to say something to Su Li, he saw a red mark on his forehead that he didn't know whether it was smashed or burned. His face seemed to have some blemishes, this level was considered disfigured in Rong Jue's mind, after all, he would be so distressed even if Su Li's finger was scratched, his face instantly sank.

"You still said it's nothing, what's going on, she threw something at you?" Rong Jue's voice was filled with boundless chill, the queen couldn't just hit someone with a cup, and how much did she insult Jingzhi Rong Jue felt anger churning in his chest just thinking about it.

"It didn't hit, it was scalded by the tea, it will be fine after a while." Su Li touched his forehead, and comforted him.

"This woman, she will definitely pay for what she did today..." Rong Jue said in a cold tone.

"It's okay, if I can't bear this grievance, I will have to endure the rest of the time." Su Li said solemnly, the queen must have a plan waiting for him, the so-called courtesy first, next time But it's not as simple as throwing a teacup.Although he can handle it, but in this life without the golden finger given by the system father, he probably won enough.

It was the first time for Rong Jue to see exhaustion and helplessness in Su Li. In his impression, he was always upright and unyielding, like a little rooster that would never be defeated in a fight, but the premise was that he was sitting in that seat. The most important thing is the emperor who likes loyal ministers like the emperor. Now the emperor is critically ill, and the imperial doctor said that he will not survive this year, so how long can he protect Jingzhi?The sixth and eighth princes have returned to Beijing one after another. If they are in power, will they tolerate Jingzhi's temper?There's also the covetous queen, and the courtiers who are dissatisfied with Jingzhi...

Too many worries surged up from the bottom of his heart at once. Never before has Rong Jue urgently needed a healthy body, to fight for it, to fight for it, because he knew that he was the only one sitting on that chair. Only the supreme seat can live quietly!

Rong Jue tightly hugged his lover's frail body that never needed protection so much, and a trace of determination flashed in Rong Jue's eyes where he could not see.

After returning to the Third Prince's Mansion, Rong Jue summoned the Gu breeder who had been raised by him in another courtyard.

The Gu raiser bowed respectfully to the third prince and said, "What is your order?"

Rong Jue glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Do you still keep that thing you told me about three years ago?"

A trace of surprise flashed in the Gu keeper's eyes, could it be that His Highness the Third Highness has already made up his mind?

However, the matter of the master is not something that servants like them can speculate on their own. He didn't ask much, just took off a small bamboo cage on his belt and handed it over respectfully, "Return to Your Highness, the villain has been carefully raising it, and I will keep it at any time." can use."

Rong Jue took the cage, waved his hand indifferently, and the Gu raiser withdrew.

Rong Jue looked at the small bamboo cage carefully, and felt strange sensations in the palm of his hand, as if something small was scurrying around in the cage.

There is a Gu worm inside, called Essence and Blood Gu, as the name suggests, as long as you cut a hole in your body, feed the Gu worm with blood essence, and when the Gu worm has sucked enough blood essence, it will get into the blood mouth, into the human body.The main symptom of Essence and Blood Gu is that the victim will have a great increase in energy in a short period of time, full of energy and blood, and looks like a vigorous and powerful warrior.But this is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, when this Gu worm enters the human body, it will intensify the absorption of essence and blood, which will greatly reduce the lifespan of the victim. Simply put, it is a Gu worm that trades overdrawn life for a healthy body.

There is no cure for Rong Jue's disease, and the only way to "recover" in a short period of time is by planting another Gu worm in his body - this is the conclusion that Rong Jue reached after searching for medicine everywhere after the mid-cold Gu .

Over the years, countless people came to donate medicines, but they all came here in high spirits and returned in disappointment. Whether it was the imperial physician or the wandering Da Zhou genius doctor, they all said that there was no cure for this disease, so Rong Jue never had any hope for a cure.Including Qi Xuexuan's time, how could a formula that even the emperor couldn't find with all his strength fall into the hands of a weak girl?Because Qi Xuexuan was the first wife of Duke Qi's mansion, Rong Jue gave her a chance to see what she wanted to do, so he couldn't wait to drive her out that day as soon as she finished speaking.Of course, Rong Jue, who is the heroine, doesn't know that the reason why Qi Xuexuan can get the formula is just a setting. Because she is the heroine, she can get the formula that no one in the world can get. It's just so unreasonable.

If he knew that the formula in Qi Xuexuan's hand was the real one, he would try his best to get her to hand it over.

It's a pity that in Rong Jue's heart now, only this inconspicuous little Gu worm in front of him is his last hole card, and he really doesn't want to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

In the previous life, Rong Jue died early because he had no worries, and there was nothing he was nostalgic about in the world; in this life, he had Su Li, so he naturally hoped that he could live longer, and he paid attention to all aspects, so the imperial doctor said that he had Su Li. He can live for four years, if he takes this Gu worm, then his lifespan will only be two years.

For a person like him who knew he was going to die early, there was no big difference between four years and two years, but two years was enough for him to pave all the roads for Jingzhi in the future.
