Gu Pan Lanling

When I saw him in the palace, Gao Zhan looked only a little older than Gao Changgong.

But now, the person in front of him has silver hair, as if he suddenly aged several decades.

However, the Supreme Emperor Gao Zhan was only 31 years old, but he looked as if he had reached the end of his life.

"Ninth Uncle."

"Gong'er, are you here?"

"See, the Supreme Emperor..."

"Excuse me, sit down, they are all from my own family."

Gao Zhan seemed to be in a good mood, and pointed to the teapot beside him, "This is Gu's freshly picked tea, do you want to try it?"

"No need, we are here because we have something to discuss with Uncle Jiu."

Gu Zimo was a little puzzled, why Gao Changgong was not surprised to see such a change in Gao Zhan.

"Is it because of the Gu poison in Xicheng?"

Gao Zhan lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the sadness in his eyes.

Gao Changgong nodded, "Yes."

Gu Zimo couldn't help being startled, this Supreme Emperor is really powerful, living far away here but still knows everything about the outside world like the palm of his hand.

Gao Zhan didn't answer the question immediately, but looked at Gu Zimo who was at the side.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "The hot springs on the mountain can cure all diseases. Since he is here, let's take him to the bar."

Gao Changgong's lips moved, and he swallowed the words, "Gong'er knows."

"Go, soak it before going to bed, the effect will be better."

Gao Changgong bowed, "Well, then Gong'er will leave."

After Gao Changgong finished speaking, he pulled Gu Zimo and walked out.

Gu Zimo was a little puzzled by Gao Changgong's sudden behavior, "Your Highness, didn't you just ask about the Supreme Emperor's Gu poison? Why didn't you continue to talk about it suddenly? Actually, there is no rush to soak in the hot spring..."

"Uncle Jiu has his reasons for doing this."

Gao Changgong took Gu Zimo and went to the back mountain. This hot spring felt very different from the hot spring in Lanling Prince's Mansion.

It may be that Gao Zhan would add some medicine when he soaked in the hot spring here, and the whole hot spring was filled with purple smoke.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't take off your clothes and go into the water." Seeing Gu Zimo standing there motionless, Gao Changgong shook his head helplessly.

Gu Zimo stretched out his hands to hold his belt, watched Gao Changgong and stripped himself naked, and his white figure was exposed in front of him, "This... do you want me to be with His Highness?"

"What? Excuse me?"

"I……"

Gu Zimo's face was red to the ears, and it always felt too shameful to take a hot spring with him, not to mention that this is Gao Zhan's territory.

"I haven't seen where you are all over? Don't be shy, take off your clothes quickly."

After Gao Changgong finished speaking, he got into the water.

Seeing Gao Changgong with his back turned to him after entering the water, Gu Zimo felt relieved.

Stretching out his hand, he untied his belt, went down the steps step by step, and entered the hot spring.

The spring water is warm, and I felt slightly dizzy when I first entered the water, but I quickly got used to it.

Gu Zimo smelled a faint scent of medicine, and the hot spring was indeed filled with medicinal materials.

Gao Changgong soaked in the water with his eyes closed motionless, and Gu Zimo followed his example and closed his eyes too.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, Gu Zimo suddenly found that he seemed to have entered a strange space.

His whole body was surrounded by purple, and strange and familiar images rushed towards his mind.

"This is me, where is it..."

Gu Zimo found himself walking forward continuously, as if there were countless pursuers behind him. He soon felt that he had no strength, but he couldn't stop.

Until there was nowhere to worry, he entered a cave, and the cave was full of bones, and the smell of corpses was everywhere...

This cave is strange, why is it so familiar, isn't this the cave that Gao Changgong took him to?

Why did you come here all of a sudden?

Suddenly there was a pungent smell of smoke, and those chasing soldiers set fire to the entrance of the cave.

Gu Zimo felt so choked that he could hardly breathe.

Suddenly, something wet protruded into his mouth, and he felt that he could breathe gradually, as if the strength that had left his body returned.

Opening his eyes in a daze, he looked at the scene in front of him with fear. This is a hot spring, and the person in front of him looking at him nervously is Gao Changgong.

What were the pictures he... saw just now?

"This hot spring can make people see their inner demons." Gao Changgong said flatly.

Only then did Gu Zimo realize that there was blood on the corner of Gao Changgong's lips, "You, why did you vomit blood?"

"When fighting against demons, it's normal to be injured." After Gao Changgong finished speaking, he reached out and touched Gu Zimo's head, "What about you, what did you see?"

"I...I saw a cave, you...the cave you took me to, Your Highness, why did I see the cave you took me to, I was hunted down by a group of people, and..."

"It's just a demon, don't think too much." Gao Changgong's hand brushed Gu Zimo's back lightly, "Go ashore, have dinner, rest early, tomorrow, I will show you around, this Not only is the aura exuberant in the mountains, but there are also many beautiful scenery.”

"Ah."

Gu Zimo always felt that Gao Changgong seemed to be hiding something from him.However, he obviously wouldn't tell the truth, and it would be useless to say more, so he had no choice but to ask nothing.

Maybe the hot spring had a magical effect, Gu Zimo slept very soundly all night, and when he woke up in the morning, he felt radiant.

He got up and went to the door of the next room, knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door.

When a servant saw it, he came up to him and said, "Young Master, Your Highness is not in the house."

"Is he going to see the Supreme Emperor?"

The servant nodded, "Well, it's already early in the morning, and it's been a while."

Why did Gao Zhan suddenly stop talking about Gu worms last night?

Is it because you are afraid that you will listen to it?

But since Gao Changgong brought himself, Gao Zhan has no reason to doubt himself.

He keeps talking about his family, but is he so guarded against himself?

Gu Zimo felt a little uncomfortable.

"Young Master, Your Highness has ordered that if you wake up, I will take you to have breakfast."

"I'm not hungry, don't bother."

After Gu Zimo finished speaking to the servant, he returned to his room.

This strange place, if Gao Changgong is not by his side, he doesn't want to go anywhere.

After a while, Gao Changgong opened the door and came in. Seeing Gu Zimo sitting there in a daze, he frowned, "Why didn't you go for breakfast?"

"I……"

Gu Zimo wanted to say he wasn't hungry, but his stomach growled inappropriately, "I...wait for you."

Gao Changgong was slightly taken aback by his answer, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Let's go, let's have dinner together."

When he walked in front of Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong stretched out his hand to hold his hand. Gu Zimo was a little uncomfortable. After all, there were people coming and going here, but Gao Changgong refused to let him go out. He insisted on holding each other tightly, as if to prove something to someone. generally.

Gu Zimo couldn't resist him, so he had to let him hold hands.

Most of the breakfast meals are herbal meals. It can be seen that Gao Zhan highly respects herbal meals.

Because he was unwell, Gao Zhan didn't come out to eat, most of them stayed in his bedroom.

When Gu Zimo thought of Gao Zhan's appearance, his heart felt heavy. He raised his eyes to look at Gao Changgong, who looked calm and normal.

"Your Highness... did you go to see the Supreme Emperor as soon as you got up?"

"Ah."

"The emperor, is he alright?"

"As you can see, he is not well, maybe...he won't live long." Gao Changgong replied calmly, as if he was talking about an unimportant matter.

Gu Zimo's heart sank little by little, "What did you say? He...he won't live long? He..."

"Do you know why I brought you here?"

Gu Zimo shook his head.

"Because the Supreme Emperor was the first person to be poisoned by the poisonous poison. He has been poisoned by the poison since the year he succeeded to the throne. Until now...it has been almost eight years."

"Who is so bold to poison the Supreme Emperor..."

"In order to get rid of the Gu poison, the Supreme Emperor has been looking for doctors everywhere, and finally found this mountain, the hot spring here, the vegetation and spiritual energy here, all of which have a huge effect on suppressing the Gu poison.

But...not long ago, when the Taishanghuang passed by Xicheng, he was stabbed. His blood was accidentally used as blood gu by someone who wanted to melt it into the river in Xicheng. That's why so many people were infected later. Gu poison..."

Hearing Gao Changgong's explanation, Gu Zimo realized that these things were all related.

"Your Highness, is there no other way? The Supreme Emperor has been here for so many years...he must have a way to get over it!"

Gao Changgong shook his head, "This time, it's his own choice. For the sake of Xicheng and Beiqi, he has already made a decision."

"What decision?"

"If you want to crack the poison, you need to find the person who used the poison. However, the poison in Xicheng this time was because the blood of the Supreme Emperor was mixed into the river and spread after being used by others. Therefore, the cause of the poison lies in the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor is gone, once the mother of the Gu worms in his body dies, all the Gu poisons distributed in Xicheng will also die, and the danger of Xicheng can be resolved by itself."

"So, the reason why the Supreme Emperor suddenly became so old is because he gave up his own life? Are you planning to save the lives of the entire Xicheng people with his own life?"

Gu Zimo always thought that an emperor like Gao Zhan was the most cold-hearted, but he never thought that he would do this for the people of a city.

"Ah."

"So, when the Supreme Emperor was assassinated in Xicheng, someone planned it long ago? The purpose is for the current situation of choosing between the two men?

Whether it is the danger of Xicheng, or the life of the Supreme Emperor, either of the two is related to you, Your Highness...

The other party is obviously coming towards you, Your Highness. If Xicheng destroys the city, you will become a sinner and be attacked from inside and outside.

But now, the Supreme Emperor sacrificed his life for Baoxi City, which means that you will lose the support of the Supreme Emperor forever... The other party is so ruthless that he can do this! "

"Let's eat. After eating, I'll take you to get some air."

Gao Changgong's face was flat, but Gu Zimo could feel that he was still sad.

The Supreme Emperor sacrificed his life so that Xicheng and Gao Changgong would not be flanked. How could Gao Changgong not remember this kindness in his heart.

If there is another way, there is no need to go to this step.
