Humming a little tune, Gu Ning walked slowly on the long palace road.

At this time, a person walked quickly from behind her.

It was Li Dehai.

Li Dehai's face was full of smiles, and when he saw Gu Ning, he bowed and said: "The county owner... Oh no! The county owner!"

Li Dehai said with a smile: "The servant is going to the Ministry of Rites to read the emperor's oral order! Presumably before tonight, the imperial edict will be delivered to Pei's residence!"

When Gu Ning heard this, a smile appeared on her face, but she never paid much attention to these things, even if she smiled, it was only a very shallow smile.

The palace people passing by, only saw Li Dehai expressing his favor to the indifferent Gu Ning. Those who can hang out in the palace are all good people, and they can see the direction of the wind at a glance.

"Changning county magistrate, is this a meritorious service?"

"It must have been the time to save Concubine Chen and the little prince..."

"What kind of county master are you still called now? In the future, you will be the county master of Changning!"

Some well-informed people snorted lightly when they heard them speak, and disdainfully told the news they already knew.

Soon, the news seemed to have grown wings and flew everywhere.

Even Gu Qingqiu, who was imprisoned in the East Palace, got the news.

Her face is ashen, now she is trapped in the East Palace, like a prisoner, no matter what she does, someone is watching, but Gu Ning is proud of herself, not only was she not rejected by the emperor because of the concubine Chen, but on the contrary, through this winter wind, Sit on the position of princess!

Gu Qingqiu repeated this news in his heart many times, his face became more and more ugly.

Seeing this, Ban Xia hurriedly said: "Crown Princess! Now is not the time to think about these things!"

Seeing the squirming shadow faintly appearing in the blue veins on Gu Qingqiu's forehead, Ban Xia's heart almost jumped out, she eagerly wanted to pull Gu Qingqiu back from the edge of the abyss of irrationality.

Ban Xia sternly yelled, which indeed made Gu Qingqiu regain some sanity.

Because of Ban Xia's actions, she also thought of her state just now, and felt a chill down her back.

"Yuntian! It's all to blame for that Yuntian!" Gu Qingqiu scolded Yuntian over and over again in her heart, but in fact she could vaguely guess that Yuntian was probably no longer alive.

These two Gu worms in her body, once she finishes taking the medicine given by Yuntian, I'm afraid they can no longer be suppressed!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingqiu took a deep breath: "Have you found everything I asked you to find?"

"The maidservant has found it." Ban Xia suppressed the vague excitement in his tone, "As you guessed, that secret passage can indeed lead to the outside of the palace! It was dug by the Queen for Her Highness! Even the Queen Mother didn't know about it! "

"The Empress originally wanted to use this matter to threaten you, but I didn't expect that you already knew what she was doing secretly." Ban Xia admired.

After hearing the words, Gu Qingqiu smiled sadly: "What queen? She has long been deposed, and now she should be called the Jiang family! After hearing that the Jiang family was slaughtered, she became even crazier?"

"That's right." Ban Xia said with lingering fear, "I heard that I can no longer recognize anyone, and everyone I meet will be called Your Highness."

Gu Qingqiu raised the corners of his lips: "What's the matter? She has done a lot of evil, and she will suffer in the future!"

The queen has always looked down upon her daughter-in-law, and has repeatedly intervened in her affairs with Chu Yunyi. If she hadn't been for her superb methods, she might have become Chu Yunyi's abandoned wife long ago.

Seeing the hatred flickering in Gu Qingqiu's eyes, Ban Xia reminded: "Crown Princess, since we have found the secret way, why don't we leave the secret way earlier!"

"Your servant is looking at the wind direction in the palace, it's really not right!" Banxia patted her chest worriedly when she said this, "In recent days, my servant has heard from the guards at the door that the emperor has suffered several illnesses. Chen Daochang is now guarding the emperor's side day and night sleeplessly!"

Hearing this, the veins on Gu Qingqiu's forehead twitched violently: "Sick?"

She seemed to be grasping at straws, her eyes lit up and she said: "If the emperor dies, wouldn't the throne be..."

Seeing the crimson in Gu Qingqiu's eyes, Ban Xia knew that Gu Qingqiu had fallen into obsession again, and she quickly said: "Crown princess, the place we are in is dangerous, and the empress dowager has also become suspicious of you. If you don't leave again, I'm afraid those things you did before will be discovered!"

"If we keep the green hills, we won't have to worry about no firewood. Why don't we go out to avoid the limelight?"

Ban Xia's reminder made Gu Qingqiu gradually come out of his obsession.

She closed her eyes, and after pondering for a moment, she made a decision: "You are right, we really have to hurry up and leave."

but……

Gu Qingqiu paused, and said coldly: "Before I leave, I need to ask you to do one more thing!"

In the Tai Chi Hall at that time.

The emperor lay pale on the dragon bed, looking at the bright yellow nine-clawed golden dragon above his head, his eyes were loose: "Where is Daoist Chen? Where is Daoist Chen?"

He couldn't speak, but he still persistently called out to Chen Daochang.

The emperor's hoarse voice recalled in the Tai Chi Hall, Chen Daochang immediately got up and walked in front of the emperor.

They also did not rest for several nights, but Chen Daochang was still in high spirits. Seeing this, the emperor trusted him even more: "Chen Daochang, what is going on?"

Just three days ago, the emperor was still alive and well, but he was worried about the two choices given by Taoist Chen.

But as soon as he returned to Tai Chi Hall, he saw the ghost of the first emperor.

He has been haunted by the late emperor's ghost every day and night for the past three days, and even when he closes his eyes, the hideous and terrifying face of the late emperor will still appear in his mind.

In this way, after three days of effort, the emperor's energy and spirit seemed to be exhausted.

He was lying on the dragon bed, and a few strands of silver-white hair could be vaguely seen in his blackened hair.

"Zhen..." Just as he was about to reach out his hand, he found that his originally smooth skin had become like dead wood.

In an instant, the emperor's eyes widened, and he said hoarsely, "What's going on? What's going on?"

"The longevity pill you gave is wrong?" The emperor got strength from nowhere, grabbed Chen Daochang's lapel fiercely, and said through gritted teeth, "Quickly tell me! What's going on?"

Chen Daochang showed embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is because of the soul of the late emperor..."

"The soul of the late emperor has been haunting you all this time, making you mentally weak. In fact, it is sucking your spirit!" Chen Daochang said in a low voice, "If things go on like this, the effects of the longevity pill you take will probably be sent to the soul of the late emperor. In the stomach."

Hearing this, the emperor immediately woke up.

"You mean..." the emperor trembled, "all my longevity pills will lose their effect?"

There is nothing more desperation than seeing hope and then being wiped out.

This is the mood of the emperor now. He has searched for the method of longevity for decades, and finally found the real longevity pill. Seeing that he is about to return to his appearance in his prime, someone suddenly told him that these efforts he made In vain!

The emperor's bloodshot eyes bulged instantly, and his bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Daoist Chen, saying word by word: "Just do what you said!"

"The emperor has really decided?" Chen Daochang asked hesitantly.

The emperor nodded heavily, gnashed his teeth and said: "I have made up my mind! You just let go and do it! After you have prepared everything, I will do it myself!"

He will do it himself and take the Queen Mother's life!

Chen Daochang sighed: "Time is fate."

"If it wasn't for the empress dowager's vicious actions back then, the late emperor's grievances would not have dissipated." Chen Daochang sighed again, "Your Majesty, you are in trouble, wait for the poor Taoist priest to do a ritual to purify the resentment of the late emperor's soul a little bit, You do it again."

"But you must bring the Empress Dowager to the Tai Chi Hall." Daoist Chen urged, "Where did the late Emperor die back then, you must bring the Empress Dowager here..."

The emperor closed his eyes and nodded emphatically.

"I know everything, you just let go and do it."

"Yes."

Chen Daochang responded and left quickly.

The emperor struggled to prop up half of his body, looked at Li Dehai who was guarding outside, and uttered a sentence in a hoarse voice: "Li Dehai, I did this..."

"Your majesty is also for the sake of the people of the world." Li Dehai said without changing his face, "If there is an emergency for you, the emperor, the country of Chu is not stable, and once foreign enemies invade, it will be a disaster. For the sake of the people of the world, why not sacrifice the queen mother alone?" ?”

"What's more, the empress dowager is your biological mother. If she loves you, she should take the initiative to solve this trouble for you. This trouble was caused by her. If she doesn't solve it, why don't she still have to fill in the emperor's name?" you?"

"Your Majesty, you are a man of gold, you can't be ruined because of these trivial things!" Li Dehai said with a straight face, "I think it's only right to let the empress dowager appease the late emperor's anger."

With Li Dehai's words, the emperor secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"You are right." The emperor nodded, "I am also for the people of Chu."

Li Dehai stood outside all the time, listening to the emperor whispering inside, with a mocking smile on his old face.

The emperor was selfish and vicious, so it was quite expected that he would make such a choice.

……

At this moment, Gu Ning was sitting in the courtyard of Doctor Zhou, propping his chin to watch Doctor Zhou fiddle with the medicinal materials.

"The effect of this thing is really good." Gu Ning said quietly, "The emperor only smelled it once, and he can't live without it anymore."

"Since then, he has been taking Rejuvenation Pill every day."

Hearing this, Divine Doctor Zhou snorted softly: "The old man is also a doctor who hangs the pot to save the world. What do you mean if you ask the old man to do these things for you every day? Either the addictive rejuvenation pill or some annoying incense! What do you think of the old man?"

However, as soon as Divine Doctor Zhou said these words in dissatisfaction, Gu Ning raised a book in his hand and shook it in front of him.
