Looking for green hills

On the second day, Gu Yuanshan asked for a leave of absence from the court to stay with Xiaoqing at Qingshan Residence. Xiaoqing was weak, and his mood went up and down several times last night. He lay on the bed until noon and refused to get up. Gu Yuanshan hugged him Lying on the bed with him, seeing him open his eyes, Gu Yuanshan hurriedly stepped forward to beg for a kiss, buried his head in his neck and rubbed non-stop, like a puppy begging for mercy.

Xiaoqing was amused by being rubbed by him, and quickly hid in his arms: "Okay, okay, stop rubbing, it's too itchy..."

Only then did Gu Yuanshan stop, he hugged Xiaoqing tightly, and asked, "Are you still angry?"

Xiao Qingwo shook her head in his arms: "I'm not angry anymore."

Gu Yuanshan pondered for a moment and then asked: "Why did you go to Weiyang Palace yesterday?"

Xiaoqing said: "A maid said that the eldest princess wanted to ask me about the elixir, so she led me there."

Maid, elixir... What does the eldest princess want to do? !

Gu Yuanshan tightened his hands on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Qing'er, I have made too many enemies in the court recently, I am worried that someone will use you to deal with me, the palace is no longer safe, you have done it for more than a few days Refining some pills, it's best to refine enough for a month, and then don't go to the palace again, I will find an excuse and explain it to the emperor."

"Is it really okay not to make medicine for him in the future?" Xiaoqing was a little worried, "Will he make things difficult for you?"

"It's okay, I'll find a way to solve it, it's impossible to make medicine for him for a lifetime." Gu Yuanshan patted Xiaoqing's back in relief.

He can't let Xiaoqing enter the palace anymore, his marriage with Li Changting will be announced to the world soon, he can't let Xiaoqing stay in the palace any longer, he doesn't want Xiaoqing to hear any rumors from others, he Xiaoqing should be sent back to Zhaoyao Mountain before getting married.

He kissed Xiao Qing's temples: "I see that your complexion is not very good recently. Is it because you have been away from Zhaoyao Mountain for too long? Otherwise, after you come back from the palace, I will ask Hailou to take you back to Zhaoyao Mountain for a short stay. , You are so haggard, it hurts me to see you."

Xiaoqing was thinking about this, and when she heard what Gu Yuanshan said, she nodded quickly: "Okay, I just want to go back and see Meng Xiao."

Gu Yuanshan smiled: "Then it's settled."

The situation in the court was changing, King Ning lost power, the aristocratic family collapsed, and the underprivileged children led by Gu Yuanshan sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Among the six books, four of the ministers were under Gu Yuanshan's subordinates. The momentum above people, of course, cannot do without Jiang Yousi's assistance and the eldest princess' dealings.

And King Ning also had a big gap between the family and the family because of his regretful marriage. He basically doesn't go to the court now, and he doesn't ask about any matters in the court. The horse market also came to a halt, and everyone thought that King Ning would never stand up again this time.

The day was sunny and sunny, and the wind in the early summer carried a few traces of sweetness. The Great Court Meeting was held as scheduled, and the officials were still arguing over a small issue in the court hall. Emperor Yongchu continued to sit on the dragon chair with his eyes closed. , everything was the same as before, calm and boring.

When the court meeting was about to end, the little eunuch next to Emperor Yongchu suddenly squeezed his throat and shouted: "My lords, stop arguing, the emperor has something important to announce."

Gu Yuanshan's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, he lowered his head to try to calm down.

Probably not, not so soon... Li Changting said that it will be at least until the seventh day of next month.

Emperor Yongchu cleared his throat, stood up and looked down at the courtiers, and then his eyes fell on Gu Yuanshan's face: "You also know that I am getting older, and my health is getting worse day by day. The only thing I am worried about is my precious daughter's For the marriage, there is Gu Yuanshan, the eldest son of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, who not only has learned from everyone, but also has a good-looking talent, I want to betroth the eldest princess to him, and the wedding ceremony will be set in half a month."

The marriage of the eldest princess of a dignified country has only half a month to prepare. Such a rush is really abnormal, but the civil and military officials did not dare to question it, and they all knelt down to congratulate: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the eldest princess, and congratulations to Mr. Gu!"

Only Gu Yuanshan stood blankly in the hall, standing out like a flock of chickens. He was full of thoughts, why was it suddenly brought forward?Xiaoqing is still in the palace at the moment, will he hear the news? !Why on earth is it ahead of schedule? !

"Lord Gu, don't kneel down to accept the order!" The sharp voice of the little eunuch woke up Gu Yuanshan like a basin of cold water, and he knelt down abruptly: "My minister Gu Yuanshan thanked the emperor for his kindness."

Emperor Yongchu's face was full of red light: "Okay, okay, get up, after the next court, you go to Weiyang Palace to walk around, time is short, you can see what you can do for Changting."

Gu Yuanshan said: "Yes, I obey the order!"

As soon as Emperor Yongchu left, Gu Yuanshan was surrounded by a crowd of courtiers who came to congratulate him. He really couldn't get away, so he could only pull Jiang Yousi to his side while everyone was not paying attention, and whispered, "Go to the Taiqing Palace immediately to find the younger brother." Qing, once you find it, take him back to Qingshan Residence, don't let anyone talk nonsense in front of him!"

Jiang Yousi hurriedly asked: "What?! You mean he doesn't know about it yet?!"

"Go! Don't talk nonsense!!"

Xiaoqing has been waking up early and returning late in the Taiqing Palace for ten consecutive days to refine medicine for Emperor Yongchu. He obeyed Gu Yuanshan's words and had to refine a month's worth of medicine in half a month. Everyone was a little weak, and he wanted to refine a few more that day, but was kicked out by Lu Qingya: "Look, is your face still a little bloody? The old emperor is you, who are you working so hard?! Hurry up and go back to sleep!"

Xiaoqing really couldn't bear it anymore, she dragged her tired body out of the Taiqing Palace without much struggle.

The Taiqing Palace is located in the southwest corner of the palace, and it was very deserted. In the past, except for the little Taoist priests, almost no one would come here. Xiaoqing walked out of the palace gate and walked alone on the cold palace road. Ten guards with knives surrounded him tightly, and he looked at these masked men in black with some doubts, wondering what they were trying to do?

A maid in pink gauze came out from behind the group of guards. It was the maid who lured Xiaoqing to Weiyang Palace that day. Out."

"What are you doing?" The sun was already very hot at noon in early summer, Xiaoqing's feet were a little weak, and her figure wobbled back.

"What are you doing? Can't you see it?" The maid's voice was like that of a yellow warbler, but she was extremely vicious, "Of course I will kill you!"

"Kill me?" Xiaoqing smiled weakly, "I'm just a little Taoist priest who makes alchemy, and I have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you want to kill me?"

The maid said: "With you around for a day, our eldest princess and Lord Gu can't raise their eyebrows together. You say that you are a big man doing something wrong, and you insist on destroying the feelings of a talented man and a beautiful woman. Isn't it disgusting?"

Xiaoqing leaned weakly against the palace wall and replied: "I am destroying people's feelings? What are you talking about? What is the relationship between the princess and Gu Yuanshan?!"

The maid rolled her eyes and said contemptuously: "Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that you don't know anything, this is too funny, a big man is held down by others to fuck his ass all day long, but in the end he is kept in the dark You don't know anything about it, you are really pitiful!"

Xiaoqing didn't care about her insults, stared into her eyes and asked coldly: "I don't know what? Please speak clearly."

The maid raised her hand, only to hear a "swish", and dozens of guards with knives flashed their sharp knives and slowly approached Xiaoqing, "Forget it, for the sake of your dying Let me tell you, your Lord Gu has been bestowed by the emperor as a son-in-law, and will soon marry our eldest princess, the wedding is only half a month away, but unfortunately, you won't be able to see it!" The maid said sharply. Turn around and shout to a circle of guards: "Kill him!"

Xiao Qing was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, his face was pale and bloodless, surrounded by dozens of dark guards, Sen Liang's knife was approaching his thin body inch by inch, but he couldn't see it all in his eyes , only the maidservant's voice kept echoing in his ears, "son-in-law", "married", "Gu Yuanshan and the eldest princess"...

He suddenly raised his neck and let out a loud laugh, a cyan halo suddenly burst out around him, and the people in black around him were bounced up heavily by the huge impact of the halo, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

He rose into the air, his round eyes emitted a scorching blue light, and his whole body exuded a terrifying and strange aura. He slowly raised his hand, and the maid was sucked in front of him like a kite with a broken string , he grabbed her neck and said coldly: "Just because you ants want to kill me?!"

Seeing this scene, the servant girl's body was like a sieve, and she screamed at the top of her voice: "Help, monster, monster, help!!"

The blue light all over Xiaoqing's body became more and more intense, his rationality was swallowed up by great anger, bloodthirsty killing intent blazed in his eyes.

No one can take away his young master, no one can take away Gu Yuanshan! !

The hand pinching the maidservant's neck became tighter and tighter, and the maidservant soon lost her voice. Hundreds of bamboo branches stretched out from Xiaoqing's back, and they were about to penetrate into the maidservant's body.

At the critical moment, Jiang Youpan arrived suddenly, and Jiang Youpan didn't have time to think about how weird the scene before him was, so he yelled at Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing!! Don't be impulsive! Killing people in the palace, you can imagine Consequences?! Your family, Mr. Gu, will be implicated!"

Jiang Yousi's voice pierced Xiaoqing's eardrums like thunder and awakened his remaining rationality. He suddenly withdrew his hand and threw the maidservant to the ground, and then staggered to the ground.

As soon as the maid fell to the ground, she ran out like crazy, shouting as she ran, "Help, help, monster, monster!"

After Xiaoqing fell to the ground, she lost all support and fell to the ground with a "plop", her fair cheeks were even paler at this moment, and she fell to the ground motionless like a marionette.

Jiang Youbi rushed over to support him, he raised his head and asked Jiang Youbi with cold eyes: "Is it true?"

Jiang Youpan's eyes dodged, he supported him and was about to go out, he struggled weakly, closed his eyes and said in a bitter voice, "Where is Gu Yuanshan? I want to see him."

"Go home first, he asked you to wait for him at Qingshan Residence."

"Okay, I'll wait."
