Thorn silk gl

It was a rare sunny day when Fu Wan rushed back to the capital.The wind in early February was a bit cold, and it blew on my body, and it seemed that no matter how thick the clothes were, it would not work.She stood on the shaft of the car and looked forward, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or flustered, she shivered a little.

The head guard took a fox fur cloak from the cage and handed it to her.

Fu Wan didn't answer.

Counting the days, today is the seventh day. She slept very lightly last night, and her heart beats fast when she woke up early in the morning.Mrs. Baidie didn't tell her exactly how the Gu attack would happen, but she also knew that it would not be easy.If it's just pain, it's still bearable, but if it's something else... She slowly clenched her fingers tightly in her sleeves.

But it's no use worrying now.Unless she can immediately find out the person behind the scenes as soon as she enters Beijing today, and force the other party to undo the Gu, otherwise she can only stand by and wait for Bai Chan to find the antidote and come back to her.

To make matters worse, the situation in Beijing and China is also unclear.After setting off from Bai Yujing, she sent several letters to Lin Ruhui on the way, but there was no reply, which made her heart sink even deeper.

The sun is gradually rising, and the thick stone brick walls of the capital can be seen in the distance.

Suddenly, a rush of horseshoes broke the tranquility of the official road.

"Your Highness, please avoid it first." The chief guard stopped in front of her and motioned her to get back in the car. "It seems that they are coming for us."

Needless to say, Fu Wan had already seen a group of people rushing against the light.They were extremely fast, and they were still on the edge of the horizon a moment ago, and they rode their horses to the front in a short time.

Take a closer look at the attire of several people, silver and black armor with a snake pattern waist knife, they are the garrison of Gyeonggi.

The group reined in their horses and stopped not far from them.

The leading man stepped forward with his horse's belly, straddled in front of the carriage, and raised his voice: "The front is the guard of honor of His Royal Highness Diji?"

The whole team was forced to stop.

The chief guard frowned and scolded: "Irreverent! Since you know who is sitting in the car, why don't you get off the horse and salute?"

The man looked her attire up and down: "A person from Bai Yujing?" He said with a smirk, "Those who have worked so hard to come all the way to escort His Highness back to Beijing, you have fulfilled your duty, and I will take over from now on." Welcome Your Highness."

"The minister was ordered to escort His Highness, there is no reason to pretend to be someone else," the chief guard drew his sword horizontally, "If you don't retreat, don't blame me—"

Those who followed also pulled out their swords, and the two sides were at war with each other for a moment.

"Wait a minute." Fu Wan lifted the curtain of the car, "The general came out of the city to welcome Gu, but what happened in Beijing?"

The man raised his eyes to look at her: "Return to Your Highness, everything in Beijing is fine. The end will be to welcome Your Highness by order of the Regent."

Regent?What regent?Fu Wan felt even more ominous, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "General, you speak so politely, but you don't even know how to dismount and salute?"

The man didn't bother to pretend anymore, and said coldly: "Your Highness, don't embarrass your subordinates anymore. Please return to Beijing quickly with the last general, so as to save the two sides from fighting again."

The head guard frowned: "You—"

Fu Wan raised his hand and pressed her sleeve, stood up and said, "Okay, I will go back with you alone."

"Your Highness!" The chief guard wanted to say something, but felt a note slipped into his hand.

Fu Wan got out of the car without looking sideways, and when he turned around, he said in a low voice: "Go to the Prime Minister's mansion to find Lin Ruhui."

Now that the Jingji garrison had welcomed Fuwan, they didn't bother to care about other people, and just left Bai Yujing's team where they were, and "escorted" Diji to the capital.

"Isn't this the way to the East Palace?" Fu Wan lifted the car curtain and glanced out, raised his eyebrows and looked at the man who was riding on horseback.

He looked ahead and said flatly: "Your Highness, please be safe and don't be impatient. You will know when you arrive in a while."

"Your mouth is so tight, your master won't let you talk to Gu?"

The man is silent.

Fu Wan chuckled lightly: "They tried their best to keep their lives alone. You said, what would you do if you lost them here?"

She guessed that Prince Xian probably didn't want her to die, otherwise there would be no need to spend so much trouble and send a group of soldiers pretending to be bandits to kill her.

Sure enough, the man's face changed slightly: "...Your Highness Chitose, don't make such jokes."

Fuwan just lay down by the small window to tease him: "Maybe, Gu is very ill, maybe he will die in the next moment?"

The man was choked for a while, then slowly whispered: "What do you want to know?"

"I won't embarrass you, you can just talk about the situation in Beijing."

The man thought for a while, and said roughly: "Your Majesty is not in the capital now, and everything depends on the regent, that is, Prince Xian. The last general who sent you to Dali Temple on the charge of 'ineffective disaster relief' was only ordered Do something, please Your Highness..."

"Where did the Empress go?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know the end, she didn't go to court for several days, Prince Xian said that she went to the palace to recuperate due to illness."

"Oh, that means not in the palace." Fu Wan thought for a moment, and seeing that the other party was still hesitating to speak, he waved his hands and said, "Don't be afraid, Gu actually cherishes his life very much, just now it was coaxing your."

man:"……"

Although it was said that he was in custody at Dali Temple, the prince still cared about the dignity of the royal family, arranged for Fuwan a private room facing the sun, and even assigned two guards to guard outside, saying that he was waiting for orders at any time, but in fact they were just monitoring.

The minister of Dali Temple who had met Fu Wan during the investigation last time was gone, and now the person acting as the minister of Dali Temple temporarily is a young minister who is also an acquaintance—it is Bai Yujing’s nephew of Xu’s family, Xu Zhilan Xu Shaoqing.

As soon as Fuwan entered Dali Temple, he had a face-to-face meeting with this newly promoted celebrity.Xu Zhilan was only in his thirties, and his appearance was still quite handsome, but there were two or three strands of white hair on his temples, which seemed a bit prematurely decaying.

When passing by, Fu Wan first noticed the look in his eyes.He stood in the dark and looked at Fu Wan quietly, his eyes were hidden in the shadow of his brow bone, showing a very gloomy and violent look.

He hates her?Fu Wan paused and quickly rejected this idea.Upon closer inspection, one could see that he didn't pay attention to her, probably because of his natural temperament.She had also heard about this Xu Shaoqing, who was said to be from the torture center, so it was not surprising that he was a bit harsh.

Fu Wan glanced slowly over him, and suddenly saw a person not far behind him.The man was short and thin, and he was a bit out of place with the military officers of Dali Temple, like some kind of panicked animal.

Drunk girl?

When the two looked at each other, she jumped suddenly and moved her eyes away in a panic.

"Your Highness, I've offended you." Xu Zhilan's gloomy voice interrupted Fu Wan's thoughts.

She withdrew her gaze, looked at the "Integrity" plaque above her head with her hands behind her back, and said indifferently: "The emperor should commit the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. If you are so enlightened, why should you apologize to me?"

Xu Zhilan pursed his lips, stopped talking, and only waved his hand to signal his subordinates to lead Fu Wan to the cell.

In the evening, Fu Wan had just finished writing half a page when he suddenly heard a sound from the window railing.She put down her pen and walked to the window, surprised: "Drunk lady?"

The drunken lady was still wearing her afternoon clothes, clutching a few pebbles, looking up at her nervously.Seeing Fu Wan come out, she breathed a sigh of relief, and held up a small basket to force it in through the gap in the window.

Fu Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If you pass things in like this, I have nowhere to hide. If someone finds out, I'll pay it back?"

"Yeah, that's right." She scratched her head and lifted the cloth cover of the basket, "Just, just some food, how about I take it back after you finish eating?"

In the basket lay half a roast chicken, some side dishes and snacks, and a jug of fruit wine.

Fu Wan: "..." She paused, and said, "Even though Prince Xian hates me, he is not so mean."

Seeing the discouraged look on the other party's face, she couldn't bear it, so she bent down to take a plate of peanut crisps.This peanut cake is delicately made, it seems to be the taste of the south.

The drunken lady also smiled: "It's fine if you like it, I made it myself, and I'm worried that it won't suit your taste."

Fu Wan ate two pieces of snacks and asked her, "How did you find this place?"

"I..." The drunken lady squeezed the little basket tightly, "I know you have been wronged. You are a good person and would not do those things!"

"Good guy?" Fu Wan laughed lowly.

The drunken lady paused for a moment, then said softly: "Actually, my father was also... imprisoned wrongly, and the whole family was affected. Thanks to my adoptive father who secretly saved my life, otherwise I would have died long ago."

"Father?"

Zui Niang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said softly: "It is Xu Shaoqing, Mr. Xu. He is also a good person, and he will definitely find out the truth and clear your name."

Fuwan saw that she was like a child, only talking about good people or bad people, she was very innocent and cute, so she didn't tell her apart, just said: "Thank you for the snacks."

The drunken lady smiled and rolled her eyes: "I'll bring some more tomorrow if you like."

"Are you having trouble getting in and out here?"

The drunken lady carefully put the empty dim sum dish back into the basket and covered it with a cloth, then shook her head and said, "I grew up in Dali Temple, and this place is just like my home, nothing will happen to me." After she finished speaking, she He got up and prepared to go out.

Fu Wan called her: "By the way, can you bring me something when you come tomorrow?"

"Of course, you said yes!"

Fu Wan: "Ma Fei San."

"Hey... Huh???"

Seeing the other party's embarrassed face and unwilling to refuse, Fu Wan sneered: "Don't worry, I didn't want the medicine to pour the guards out and sneak out, I planned to use it for myself."

The drunken lady swallowed, and cautiously said, "What do you want that thing for?" She raised her eyes and stared at Fu Wan as she spoke, with an indistinguishable darkness flashing in her eyes.

Fu Wan didn't notice her eyes.She wanted to find a sedative medicine, but it was just a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and wanted to see if it could numb the senses with the power of the medicine, so as not to disturb the defense at night when the gu poison broke out too loudly.

Of course, she couldn't explain this reason, so she casually made up an excuse and said, "I sleep lightly at night, and if I change places, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep more securely. Can you help me with this?"

The drunken lady lowered her head in thought for a moment, and when she raised her head again, she put on an innocent smile.She nodded heavily: "Don't worry."

That night, Fuwan was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by a violent heart palpitation. When she woke up, her mind was dizzy and she couldn't tell the time. She only saw a half-curved yellow moon hanging by the window.Upon closer inspection, the moon did not seem to be a moon, but a huge gaping mouth, pouring towards her.

She shivered, only to realize that her back was soaked in cold sweat.

His hands and feet were limp and he had no strength, his eyes were covered with flowers, and the tables, chairs and benches were heavy with countless phantoms, like monsters jumping around in the room.She was so dizzy that she wanted to open her mouth to stop them, but she could only make a hoarse sound when she opened her mouth.

The next moment, a huge soreness rose from the abdominal cavity, as if a fat worm was swimming and biting in her abdominal cavity, devouring all the organs in her abdomen, and gnawed her from the inside to the outside. a piece of skin.

She was panting heavily, unable to move her fingers.The pain gradually dissipated only after the worm gnawed away all the temples of the five viscera, and then devoured her heart one by one.

Fu Wan turned over and struggled to get up, poured herself a glass of cold water, and moistened her chapped lips.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of something flashing past the window from the corner of her eye. It seemed to be a bloodshot eye looking fiercely inside.She shook her hand and looked intently, but saw nothing.

The feeling of heart palpitations has not completely subsided.She stroked her chest, thinking it was probably an illusion.
