Consort Zhanzhao

"You nonsense!" Seeing that someone dared to make trouble at her wedding, Zhao Bijia squinted her eyes, grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at Ling Yun's face without thinking.

Ling Yun didn't dodge, the glass hit his forehead, and there was a red patch, and the wine flowed down his blue Taoist robe, forming a dark blue trace.

Ling Yun squinted his eyes from the alcohol, didn't say a word, Zhao Bijia didn't speak, Zhan Zhao stood half a step in front of Zhao Bijia, and Yang and An who heard the movement also rushed over.

The maids in the room were so frightened that they almost hid in the corner, and there was the sound of orderly footsteps at the door, a group... Zhao Bijia watched the very unfamiliar guards come in.

Ling Yun nodded at them, the team of guards pressed their hands on the handles of their waists in unison, and pulled out half of the knives in unison. Zhao Bijia only had anger in her heart.

Without waiting for her to speak, Zhan Zhao said: "You should have thought about it, if you messed up the wedding... Zhan is not talented, so I can deal with you—it's no problem to deal with a hundred of you."

The corner of Taoist Lingyun's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to sneer, but he didn't succeed.

"My son-in-law," his voice was full of threats, "I believe that taking my life is as easy as picking something out of a bag, but—" He didn't say what the specific threat was, "Why don't we take a look at the imperial decree first?" ?”

Seeing his determined look... Except for Zhao Bijia, the rest of the people were a little bit puzzled. Could it be that he really ate the bear's heart and leopard's courage?Hurry up at this time to attack!

"Bring the imperial decree!" Zhao Bijia sternly said, "I want to see what is written in your imperial decree!"

As her words fell, Yang and An Fei stepped forward, snatched the imperial decree from Ling Yun, spread it out and handed it to Zhao Bijia.

This edict... Zhao Bijia's heart sank as he held it in his hand.

The golden silk, the scroll is made of jade, this is the highest standard imperial decree... Anyway, this kind of thing... probably won't be seen twice a year.

Zhao Bijia took a deep breath, and stared intently at the imperial decree... After reading only two words, she felt dizzy for a while.

The handwriting on it was indeed her father's, but the words written on it...she could recognize each one of them, but they didn't know what they were all put together.

What does it mean to be an evildoer and order Ling Yun to take it down?

Zhao Bijia ruthlessly threw the imperial decree on Ling Yun's head, and the jade scroll hit his forehead, causing a small wound, and blood flowed out immediately.

Ling Yun rolled up the imperial decree unhurriedly, and looking around, the guards drew their knives out.

Yang and An sneered, and said at almost the same time as Zhan Zhao, "Who do you think these people can stop?"

Zhao Bijia's teeth itch with hatred, "Yang and An! Go prepare the carriage, let's go back to the palace!"

Ling Yun glanced at the sky outside, "I calculated the time to come, and the gate of the palace is closed now."

"You think I can't open the palace gate?" Zhao Bijia sarcastically said, "That's my house, the palace gate is always open whenever I go back."

But Yang and An didn't leave, they still stayed by Zhao Bijia's side, saying: "Princess, why don't you leave with me, this place is only half a quarter away from the palace, even if you walk, you will go back."

Zhan Zhao nodded, reached out and grabbed Ling Yun, "Take him with you!"

Yang Hean gave him approving looks, and Zhao Bijia sneered, "How about it? Master Guoshi, let's see if you, the Guoshi, are capable, or I, the princess, are favored."

Ling Yun sneered, and turned his gaze to Zhan Zhao, "My son-in-law has many friends and relatives, I advise you not to go into this muddy water."

"you--"

Ling Yun felt that the hand pinching his neck was getting tighter, and he couldn't help coughing, "My son-in-law is very skilled in martial arts, and the two guarding the princess with Mr. Yang must be unscathed, but you also think about your Parents, brothers, and your eldest niece and daughter, and the little nephew who can't even walk well, they——are not as good as you."

"you dare!"

"Why don't I dare?" Ling Yun grabbed the hand pinching his neck, his face was already flushed, "Your Majesty's imperial edicts and princesses dare to disobey the imperial edicts, and the son-in-law, as the imperial bodyguard, helps the tyrants to abuse. What's the big deal about using a little bit of tricks for the task assigned by His Majesty?"

Yang He'an sneered, "I don't know if this decree is true or not."

Ling Yun glanced at him, "Director Yang, do you want to test it? You have been in the palace for many years, and you must have seen the imperial decree more than once or twice. Can you see if this thing is real or not?"

The scene became anxious for a while.

Ling Yun threatened Zhan Zhao's family members. Although he didn't know if it was true or not, but seeing that his hands pinching Ling Yun's neck no longer exerted force, and Ling Yun's blushing face had returned to its usual pale color, one could tell that his My heart is already a little unsteady.

Zhao Bijia looked at him very worriedly, and sneered at Ling Yun, "Have you thought about it? Even if you don't enter the palace now, you still won't be able to escape at dawn tomorrow."

"Princess, you might as well give it a try. After tomorrow morning, will you no longer be the princess, or I will no longer be the national teacher."

Yang and An's joints were already rattling, and the guards even drew out their knives. The scene froze for a while, and no one spoke.

Ling Yun looked at the sky outside again, "If the princess doesn't come with me again, don't blame me for being rude. The new mansion bought by the son-in-law is not far from here, but if you really catch him..."

"You are so brave!"

"it is good!"

It was the princess who stopped Yang and An's words, she looked at Ling Yun, her tone calmed down, "I'd like to see, at dawn tomorrow, whose wish can be fulfilled!"

But Zhan Zhao didn't let go, and Yang and An still didn't let go.

The two parties were anxious again.

Although Ling Yun brought a lot of people, compared with these two, their martial arts skills are not worthy of even lifting shoes. Although these guards have drawn their knives and are ready to strike at any time, Zhao Bijia is not worried at all and looks nervous Instead, it is the people on that side.

Zhao Bijia looked at the people in this room. The maids and eunuchs who served her were basically brought out from her palace, not to mention Zhan Zhao's parents. Even if they threatened her with these people, she might obediently submit.

Zhao Bijia sighed, and smiled at Zhanzhao, "It's okay, my father won't treat me like this. It's just waiting for one night, and we'll talk about it after dawn tomorrow. You go back and check on your parents' safety."

Zhan Zhao shook his head, but didn't speak.

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Ling Yun's mouth.

Zhao Bijia didn't say anything more, but tightened her clothes, "Let's go, where do you want to take me?"

Ling Yun shook his head, and spoke softly, "There is no need to go anywhere, Your Majesty means to take care of the princess temporarily. I will just look at the princess mansion, and the princess will choose a room by herself."

Zhao Bijia frowned, what was the reason for this?

But right now is not the time to think about this, she walked past Yang and An, combined with eye gestures, and sent out a message that only the two of them could understand: go find the Eight Sage Kings.

Yang and An didn't respond at all. Instead, they said, "Where are you? What are you doing in a daze? You should continue packing up and bring hot water for the princess to wash."

Zhao Bijia shook her head, "There's no need to wash up, I'll go see my father tomorrow in this suit!"

As she said that, she walked out of the main hall without looking back, "Don't think about the new house, let's go to the attic in the garden!"

After Zhao Bijia left, Yang and An took a deep look at Zhan Zhao, without saying a word, they jumped out of the main hall and disappeared into the night.

Zhan Zhao stood alone in this empty hall for a long time.The hall was extraordinarily quiet because of the noise just now, and it was extraordinarily lonely because of the leftovers from the banquet during the day. The temperature at night in late summer and early autumn was not low, but Zhan Zhao's body was covered with pimples.

He shuddered, suddenly came to his senses, and jumped up, but within three to five breaths, he was gone.

Zhao Bijia went to the attic in the garden. The three-story building was originally used to enjoy the scenery and eat. The third floor is very elegantly furnished. There are soft bedding and other things in the small study. Ling Yun, who came up together, smiled contemptuously.

"Think about it, if you stay here, you can spend the night in the princess' room... not even a eunuch, but a dead eunuch."

Ling Yun was stabbed all night, and at this moment he couldn't bear it any longer, "Do you think you are still a princess? You will be nothing soon!"

Zhao Bijia glanced at him, poured a cup of tea, took two sips and said, "I'll wait to see how you die."

The room was quiet for a while, although the maids didn't understand what happened, but the princess has been favored since she was a child, and under the orders of Manager Yang, she kept bringing hot water, snacks, etc. Although he was afraid of the guards outside the house who had already drawn their knives, none of them flinched.

Some even said humanely: "It's getting late, you Taoist priest should go away."

Zhao Bijia sneered, and Ling Yun said: "I'll leave after just a few words. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. After all, His Majesty will definitely come to see you at dawn tomorrow."

"It's good that you know." Zhao Bijia glanced at him, "My father, my mother, and my grandmother, my brother, who do you think you can offend?"

"If you hadn't captured Zhan Zhao's family—" Zhao Bijia sneered, "Even if I took your life, it would be your own bad luck."

Ling Yun looked at the sky and ignored her.

Zhao Bijia was already tired all day long, besides... among other things, the imperial edict was really written by her father. She had read the handwriting and seal countless times, and she would never admit it wrong no matter what.

So what happened for a while?

As soon as a person calms down, he will breathe and think wildly, not to mention... How could her father treat her like this, Zhao Bijia suddenly panicked, even her breathing became disordered.

And Zhan Zhao, although I can understand that he is for his family, but no matter what, Zhao Bijia always hopes that someone will put himself in the most important place in his heart...

Obviously, when Zhan Zhao is at a critical moment...he has too many things to worry about.

Even though she knew that thinking like this would only disturb her mind, Zhao Bijia still couldn't hold back her breath and thought about it all the way along this road, even her eyes were turning red.

"The Nine Deaths Gu is on you."

Ling Yun's sudden words made Zhao Bijia feel wrong.

But although she didn't say anything, Ling Yun, who had been watching her for a long time, already got the answer he wanted from her reaction.

"Hahahahaha!" Ling Yun let out a burst of suppressed laughter, then stopped smiling suddenly, and stared at Zhao Bijia's face with a pair of eyes so dark that nothing could be seen, "It's on you."

The last half of the sentence has become an affirmative sentence, and Zhao Bijia suddenly felt cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

This name... She originally thought that it would disappear with Bai Qingluo's death, after all, even her clan members only called this Gu a Holy Gu.

Nine deaths... Zhao Bijia's memory suddenly became very clear. This name was the name before the Holy Gu, and it was also the name when the Gu first came out.

Those questions in Zhao Bijia's mind, the questions that disappeared with Bai Qingluo's death came back to her mind, but she didn't ask any questions, and she didn't even forget to look at Ling Yun.

Suddenly, Ling Yun reached out and touched Zhao Bijia's acupuncture points.

Zhao Bijia swallowed in her throat with an exclamation, and only let out a dull "hmm".

Ling Yun's eyes became crazy.

He took out a box carved from jade from the wide sleeve of his Taoist robe, and when he opened it, Zhao Bijia's eyes widened!

This is the true leaf of the earth!The true leaf of the earth is missing a leaf!The last time they worked so hard to bring back from Miao Jiang - he didn't use it on Ouyang Chun!

For a moment, thousands of thoughts ran through Zhao Bijia's mind.

In the end, there was only one left, the Gu on Ouyang Chun's body was made by Ling Yun, and he came here for this Gu!

Ling Yun looked at the true leaf of the earth with only one leaf left in the box, with nostalgia in his eyes.

"When this thing came into my hands, I knew that I would be able to see the Nine Death Gu." The expression on Ling Yun's face was like a cramp. It could be seen that he didn't want to laugh, but he was so excited that he couldn't control it at all. .

"Thank you, princess." Ling Yun got up and saluted her respectfully, his face was so devout that Zhao Bijia couldn't feel anything except fear.

But Ling Yun just looked up at the moonlight, closed the box again, and sighed: "It's not yet time, after all these years, I still can't hold my breath."

After Ling Yun finished speaking, he took out half an incense stick from his cuff and lit it. There was no smoke at all, and even a little flame could not be seen, but as time went by, the incense still disappeared little by little, as if it had been burned.

Ling Yun looked at Zhao Bijia who had no reaction at all, and his eyes became more and more joyful.

When about a third of the incense was burned, Ling Yun suddenly turned the incense. Suddenly, Zhao Bijia heard a plopping sound from outside, as if a person fell down. She stared at Ling Yun with wide eyes, and Ling Yun smiled. Reaching out to pat her body, Zhao Bijia found that he could speak again.

"Princess, talk to me?" The expression on Ling Yun's face changed back and forth, especially distorted against the background of the moonlight and candlelight, as if he was a ghost returning from the underworld.

"Otherwise, I won't wait until the time, and I don't know what will happen."

Zhao Bijia narrowed her eyes, "What's the use of Nine Deaths Gu?" The name was so weird that Bai Qingluo's explanation was vague, but judging by Ling Yun's posture... the Gu must not be that simple.

After all... before it knew its function, it had already become a holy Gu.

"Nine-death Gu..." Ling Yun stared straight at Zhao Bijia, with infinite longing in her eyes, although Zhao Bijia knew that this longing was for the Holy Gu, but she still shuddered involuntarily.

"The Nine Deaths Gu is actually a Gu that hasn't been refined yet. Back then, King Nanzhao's youngest son was intelligent, but he wasn't a sign of longevity. King Nanzhao summoned all the Gu masters in Nanzhao Kingdom to refine this Gu that would extend his son's life. I The ancestors were the ones who were in charge back then."

"Actually, it's not that great," Zhao Bijia deliberately retorted, "A narrow escape? There's only a [-]% chance of success. Your ancestors were not good at learning."

Ling Yun smiled, and didn't care about her provocation at all, "Nanzhao King lost his life when he went to the Tang Dynasty to see him. Without his restraint, there will be more people who want this Gu."

"Your ancestors didn't get this Gu back then, don't even think about it today!" Zhao Bijia sang against him with every word, and she still remembered that Bai Qingluo once said that the real leaves of the earth could not drive out this holy Gu. , Zhao Bijia looked at the true leaf of the earth that was missing a leaf on the table, and sneered twice.

Ling Yun shook his head, "Princess, didn't you hear what I just said? This Gu hasn't been refined yet, and life extension is an act against the heavens. Even if all the Gu masters in Nanzhao are together, it will only take three to five years, how can they be together?" Is it possible to refine it? Besides, if you extend your life, this person’s lifespan will be extended, and the account with Lord Yan will not be evened out, how can this be possible?”

Bai Qingluo said that she was the ninth master of this holy Gu... A terrible thought suddenly came to Zhao Bijia's mind, and she stopped talking.

Seeing her expression, Ling Yun suddenly burst into laughter, "Princess is smart, I must have guessed it. This Gu was not refined at the time, but it has been refined now! Now this Gu is called Immortality Gu, using the previous nine masters' Reincarnated, become the tenth master of immortality! Hahahaha! Princess, do you feel pain in your heart when you know you missed something like this?"

Zhao Bijia looked at him with a calm expression, "You——Ouyang Chun was the one who planted the Gu."

"Yes, during the war in Nanzhao, my ancestors missed this Gu. Later, our branch went all the way to the Central Plains, and practiced Taoist Kungfu, in order to calculate the time when this Gu was born!" Ling Yun couldn't stop laughing. , "I figured it out! The fate of this Gu is all pinned on the princess!"

He looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost midnight."

"Eternal life, immortality," Ling Yun was so excited that his lips trembled, "Speaking of which, the princess should have guessed it by now, the imperial decree in my hand is completely true, after all, for the emperor, it is the same as immortality. Than... I'm afraid this country is worth nothing, let alone a trivial princess."

Zhao Bijia paused word by word: "You bewitched my father, you bewitched my father!"

Ling Yun smiled indifferently, "If thinking like this can make the princess feel better, it's true, I've cast a Gu! But you can also see that your father is as usual, except for you... This Gu can not only enlarge people's hearts The greedy thoughts, evil thoughts, no longer have any effect."

"In other words, only when your royal father had this idea in his heart, would he act like this. This Gu is just fueling the flames."

The corners of Zhao Bijia's mouth curled up, and he said coldly: "I don't believe you, besides... do you know how this Gu came from? Do you know how the true leaves of the earth came from? And the missing leaf is What did you do? Let me tell you! Even if I eat this broken leaf, you will not get the Holy Gu!"

Ling Yun laughed, "That's because you don't know how to use this thing. My ancestors made the Nine Death Gu, and only I know how to get rid of this Gu. Besides, if the Gu can't get out, why would it come out?" What about the princess?"

He held up the box containing the real leaves of the earth and waved it towards the moonlight, put the leaves in the water cup, and somehow moved his hands, the leaves turned into water, "Will the princess drink it herself or let me do it? Let me do it, the princess will not be so comfortable."

Zhao Bijia glared at him, and drank the water without saying a word.

After a while, Zhao Bijia sneered, "There is no response, your stuff must have expired."

Ling Yun looked at her, "It's not over yet, this is just a primer for medicine." He said very confidently: "I just feel restless when I come down."

"I prompted the princess's marriage, and I also prompted the incident on the day of the wedding. I just wanted to make the princess feel restless and have violent mood swings—"

"That's all you have?" Zhao Bijia sneered, "Father made the decree because you got a Gu, and Zhan Zhao left because you hijacked his family. Apart from making me hate you even more, these tricks of yours will make me hate you even more. There is no other use for it."

After the words fell, Zhao Bijia heard a commotion outside, she smiled coldly, "There is also the Eight Wise King, he is also a person who can enter the palace at night."

Ling Yun suddenly smiled, put the half stick of incense that counted all the maids and guards into the kettle, and poured the water down again, all the people below woke up.

"The princess mainly thinks that I only have this means. I can only say that you have been in the palace for a long time, and you are too naive."

After finishing speaking, Ling Yun waved his sleeves, and a dark mass rushed towards her. Zhao Bijia suddenly felt his eyes darken, and even his head became dizzy. It seemed that his whole body was out of control, and he was still a little cold.

This feeling... a bit familiar, as if being possessed by a ghost last year!But Zhao Bijia felt that she could still control herself.

There was a lot of people outside, it seemed that not only the Eight Sage Kings came, but Renzong, Concubine Zhang, and the Queen Mother also came. Zhao Bijia seemed to have heard Lord Bao's voice vaguely, Zhan Zhao also came!

But the first sight of Renzong coming in made Zhao Bijia's heart sink. Renzong didn't look at her, but gave Ling Yun a reproachful look, as if he was blaming him for making things so big.

Zhao Bijia's eyes suddenly turned red, she opened her mouth to call Father Emperor, but...no sound came out.
