The old dog really didn't catch up to Gu Yanzhi. He covered his lips and coughed twice. In the battle sixteen years ago, Gu Yanzhi had damaged his foundation. Although the dreaming technique he had just used was simple, it was extremely labor-intensive.
No matter how strong Gu Yanzhi is, without a good physical foundation, he will suffer some internal injuries no matter what.
This hand cannot be used easily, but Gu Yanzhi likes to force himself.
After all this hard work, the little bit of body he finally regained was really going to be completely destroyed by him.
Gu Yanzhi didn't show it on his face, and Xiao Zhang couldn't tell it. In terms of pretense, Gu Yanzhi was cold-hearted and cold-faced, but he was better at pretending than the entire Yuqing Palace.
The two of them did not want to live in the palace, and even at this hour, they still wanted to go to the east of the city.
It's a pity that who would have known that this time back, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
…
The late emperor left behind five children before his death. Wen Ruxi is the eldest, followed by King Huai, King Jin and King Yu who are only a few days and months younger than her. The current emperor is the youngest, so it stands to reason that the throne will fall to him. The head is most inappropriate.
But it happened that he was the direct descendant. In the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, the crown prince has always established the direct descendant but not the eldest son - the eldest son is still a woman.
Wen Ruxi had secluded herself from the world since she was a child. After the young emperor ascended the throne, the ministers in the court were basically divided into three camps.
King Jin was a carefree prince, and he moved out of the palace to start his own business after he was sixteen years old. Only King Huai and King Yu have been fighting the most fiercely in the past few years.
Prince Yu's mansion is brightly lit tonight, and the candlelight in Prince Yu's study reflects the two figures inside.
One is standing and one is sitting.
The one standing bowed his waist and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, I have suffered a big loss this time."
King Yu paused with the pen in his hand. He was obviously a young man no more than eighteen years old, but he looked extremely calm.
His face is still immature, but his expressions are always very at ease.
"What are you afraid of, Chang Qing? Miss Chang also sacrificed her life for the sake of our Daxia foundation. This is a great achievement."
"I will never forget this."
Chang Tu looked to be in his forties, but his hair had already turned gray. This daughter was born in old age, and she had been holding it in her hands since she was a child.
Now he was being killed silently, but he, the censor, couldn't even fart.
Chang Tu said angrily: "I thought that once the little girl's incident came out, Wei Jun and his gang would not dare to act rashly. Who knew they were also a group of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death."
"Not even a mere lady from the Li family dares to move. If that old guy Li Yu is still here, will Daxia be named Li?"
King Yu glanced at him lightly and said, "You can't say that."
"Daxia can only have the surname Wen. This is the world of the Wen family."
"If the second brother likes to make trouble, let him make trouble. In short, I am determined not to let my younger brother pursue Sun Zhen's matter any longer."
Chang Tu cupped his hands and said: "I know that the eldest princess has returned, and Gu Lian is the leader of the world of immortality. His strength is unparalleled in the world. I'm afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble for nothing."
King Yu lowered his eyes and said: "If the eldest sister insists on blocking it - the Yuqing Palace cannot interfere in our Daxia political affairs."
There is no family affection in the royal family.
Chang Tu whispered: "I will obey King Yu's order."
King Yu waved his hand: "If nothing happens, you can go down."
Chang Tu thought for a while and realized that there was something wrong. He took two steps closer and whispered next to King Yu:
"Over there in Jiangnan..."
…
Prince Huai's Mansion
King Huai raised his hand to seal a handwritten letter and handed it to his confidant.
"Go to the Prime Minister."
The cronies rode horses all night, but Prime Minister Wei Juan hurried out wearing only a single coat before he could sleep.
With the help of candlelight, Wei Jun shook open the envelope and read the words on it clearly.
[Dali Temple Prison, win over. 】
The flames licked the envelope and turned into dust.
There were three deep vertical lines printed between Wei Jun's eyebrows, as if they were carved into them.
He frowned and said in a low voice: "The prince is asking for soldiers..."
King Yu's maternal grandfather was one of the four generals of Daxia. He guarded the frontier and had a lot of say in the army.
Although King Huai has the support of the imperial court, because he has no military power, just like the situation yesterday, his group's tough attitude cannot be tolerated, so he can only "delay".
But in the end, it was not to get King Yu's wishes.
Seeing that the beloved daughter of Lieutenant Li Yu, one of the three princes who never took sides, was in trouble.
How could King Huai not catch such a big person?
Although everyone in the court now knows that Li Yu was taken away by the emperor, everyone is clear in their hearts.
Li Yu can't die, the emperor can't touch him, and he will be released soon.
Even if Li Yu is demoted by then, he will not be without useful people in the army.
Soldier! Soldier! Soldier! Still a soldier!
The vacancy of King Huai urgently needs to be filled from Mo Qing and his side.
Wei Jun summoned his men, and after mediating for a long time, he was led into the Dali Temple prison before dawn.
Coincidentally, the person who led Wei Jun in was the same man with the mustache who led Mo Qing in with him.
Mo Qingyu closed her eyes to rest her mind and stayed awake all night. In a place like this, she was always awake by a thread and opened her eyes immediately when there was any movement.
Wen Ruxi held the spear and sat on the haystack, leaning against the wall with her legs crossed.
As a cultivator, although she has never practiced fasting, she can still meditate and rest her mind.
As soon as she looked up and saw Wei Juan, who was wearing a black robe, Wen Ruxi stood up immediately: "Who is he?"
The mustache flattered Wei Jun and said, "Sir, the people you want are all here. I will pick you up after a stick of incense."
The mustache was gone, and Wei Juan took off the hood on his head.
Mo Qing raised her eyebrows as she had never seen this person before, and Jiang Si whispered in her ear:
"Master, this man's name is Wei Jun. He is the Prime Minister of Daxia and a veteran of the two dynasties. He was won over by King Huai after the emperor ascended the throne."
"The fact that he appears here now is probably because of King Huai's wishes."
Mo Qing's brain is very good, but she is usually too lazy to use it. Jiang Si muttered.
Mo Qingyu realized that he wanted military power.
"King Huai wants to rebel?" Mo Qing whispered.
Jiang Si shook his head, spread his hands and said, "Who knows?"
Human dynasties fight and kill, and dynasties have changed for countless rounds.
The demons welcome them to fight with each other every day. After all, the resentment after death is a great tonic for the demons.
Wei Juan did not look at Mo Qing. Instead, he raised his hands to Wen Ruxi and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Jun, has met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
Wen Ruxi's face was full of doubts.
She knew Prime Minister Wei Jun, but she had never seen him in her memory.
He was covered up like this again today, and even his own mother wouldn't be able to recognize him when she came, let alone the somewhat blind Wen Ruxi.
Wen Ruxi said, "What's the matter?"
Wei Jun said: "I know that your highness is imprisoned unjustly. King Huai has asked me to investigate the matter thoroughly, and I will definitely clear your highness."
Wen Ruxi thought for a while, sat down and said, "The one who is clean will be clean by himself. You just need to find out."
Wei Jun said: "Naturally."
Wei Juan only said these few words and left. Mo Qing and the others figured it out and it wasn't even a stick of incense.
"Didn't he come to see you, Master?" Jiang Si rubbed the back of his head and let out a breath, "It seems he didn't even say a few words."
Mo Qingyu shook his head and said, "Human beings always like to twist and turn like this."
"He just announced his family status and said that we were wronged. Wasn't this what he was telling me?"
Wen Ruxi didn't hear what she said. As soon as she came over, she frowned and said, "What did this person mean?"
Mo Qing and Jiang Si looked at each other and said in unison: "They're trying to get people."
Wen Ruxi looked at Mo Qingyu deeply and said quietly, "I'm not a fool."
Wen Ruxi crossed her arms and said, "He is obviously here to find you."
Mo Qingyu was really surprised now. She clapped her hands and said, "Oh, you actually saw it."
Wen Ruxi's nostrils turned upward in anger. She pointed at herself and said, "What do I have to deserve him?"
"Who doesn't know that my title as the eldest princess is just a decoration?"
"After all, you are the apple of Li Yu's eye. Li Yu is not involved in party strife, but his influence in the military is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
Wen Ruxi paused and said, "Is this what you meant by waiting?"
Mo Qingyu thought about it for a while, she really didn't think about party disputes or anything like that, she just insisted on saying that...
"Forget it."
She said it so casually that it seemed like she had a back-up plan.
Unfathomable.
Wen Ruxi rubbed her face. Although Mo Qing and this person knew her identity, they always felt that the other person was like a fog, unpredictable.
Is she that person?
Even Gu Yanzhi couldn't say for sure, and Wen Ruxi didn't even dare.
But if she is really that person, she is really different from what is recorded in the book.
This is not a big devil who is afraid of chaos in the world. He is clearly just a salted fish who just wants to be smashed and lie flat.
Slow in doing things and lazily speaking, Wen Ruxi sometimes wondered if the other person was in a wheelchair because he was too lazy to walk.
However, this man is very powerful and can handle serious matters with ease.
Wen Ruxi thought that she had saved her twice, and she really realized the gap between herself and the other party.
Seeing the other party staring at her, Mo Qing felt a little uncomfortable all over.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
I was actually stunned when I saw this person.
Wen Ruxi turned away with red ears, feeling more and more that her silly and naive image was probably indelible.
"Silly." Mo Qingyu patted her lower back.
Mo Qingyu muttered: "Why are you so tall?"
Wen Ruxi said to her heart, "You are obviously the one sitting here. Who is not tall?"
Wen Ruxi squatted down subconsciously.
Her hair was very long, untied, and looked limp. Mo Qing and Da Leng put their hands on it and rubbed it.
Yeah, it feels good.
The little fox in his arms chirped, and Mo Qing touched it again.
Yeah, not as easy to touch as you.
…
Gu Yanzhi looked at the Chengdong Inn that had been reduced to ruins, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.
His already deserted temperament, when angry, made the entire area ten miles around seem to be frozen.
Xiao Zhang hurriedly used his jade pendant to contact Shen Ze. The light on the jade pendant flickered on and off.
The intermittent voice of the young man came from inside.
"Teacher...Master..."
Xiao Zhang was so angry that he slapped the table next to him and smashed it into pieces.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple, where are you?"
