The Eight Winds of Rebirth

On the second day, Gu Xiangtan's fever still persisted, but the cold became more and more serious, and the imperial physicians couldn't help feeling anxious.

As soon as he left the court, the new regent Zhao Su hurried over to visit. Seeing Gu Xiangtan's appearance, he immediately scolded the imperial physicians, and dragged out the little eunuch who tipped off the news yesterday and beat him with sticks. died.

"If there is even a slight mistake in the Lingfo, you all go to serve the Buddha for him first!"

After saying these words, Zhao Su went into the inner room and stayed there for a whole day. When it was late, the little crown prince was about to ascend the throne in a few days, and there were too many things to prepare, so he had to leave first.

Before leaving, he was looking at Su Xi with a slightly displeased look, Zhao Su said, "I will give your master an explanation."

However, no matter how many elixirs and elixir were used, Gu Xiangtan was still ill in such a chaotic way. Day by day, he was in a daze on the bed, and Su Xi and An Yin were so anxious that their mouths were full of blisters. People are not seeing any good.

Su Xi kept wiping the sweat off Gu Xiangtan's forehead, annoyed and anxious, "If you say anything, I'll just give that woman an excuse to lock her up in the mansion. My son's suffering is in vain. have eaten!"

What Su Xi said was disrespectful, and he was talking about the most powerful person in the world today, but he deliberately amplified his voice as if he thought people couldn't hear him.

An Yin didn't have the strength to stop him anymore, and he was angry, but he could see through it better than Su Xi.

"How much do you really expect him to give us? Although Mei Jianyou is only Zhao Su's concubine, her natal family is Guan Yonghou. If the sixth prince is still there, the military power will naturally not be Mei's turn. family, but now... Zhao Su is so cunning, how can he not know who is the real target to woo in the future?" Mei Jianyou hated Gu Xiangtan everywhere, and deliberately sent someone to break the news of Zhao Yuan's death, and set the blame on her. On Concubine Jin's head, she dared to do it and knew the consequences, but she just wanted to take a risk to test Zhao Su's heart.

Su Xi looked at Gu Xiangtan's flushed face, his chest and abdomen twisted, "There is really only one person in this world, who really loves our young master..."

But that person is no longer there.

Thinking of this, both Su Xi and An Yin forcibly held back their tears.

Until three days before the enthronement ceremony, Gu Xiangtan suddenly woke up.

Both Su Xi and An Yin stepped forward happily, and while they were going to call the imperial physician, Gu Xiangtan raised his eyes and said hoarsely, "Yanfang is back."

An Yin was startled, "This... I haven't heard the news that Xiao's army has arrived in the capital yet."

Gu Xiangtan repeated, "Yanfang is back..."

It must be right for Gu Xiangtan to insist so, An Yin didn't dare to neglect, and left in a hurry.

Sure enough, he came back in a hurry after an hour.

Gu Xiangtan was sitting on the bed drinking medicine, when he saw him, he pushed away the bowl that was brought to his mouth.

An Yin and Su Xi looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "The Xiao family army has entered the city gate."

Su Xi was astonished, "Why didn't anyone come to report!" Although the general died, the Xiao's army still fought a beautiful victory. How could this group of troops return to the court so hastily?

In front of Gu Xiangtan, An Yin didn't want to talk about it with him, but said carefully, "Young master, don't worry, I have already sent someone to tell you. As soon as Yan Fang arrives, let him come to see you."

Gu Xiangtan just lowered his eyes and said nothing, silently looking at the black concoction in the bowl.

After half a cup of tea, a slender young man in armor hurriedly entered the National Teacher's Mansion. When he saw Gu Xiangtan, his knees softened and he knelt down straight in front of him.

"This subordinate is dereliction of duty, please punish him!" Yan Fang pressed his forehead to the ground, his voice choked up.

Gu Xiangtan looked at his obviously haggard appearance, and asked, "What's going on?"

Yan Fang told the story one by one in the future. In fact, it was not the Nanmans who really killed Zhao Yuan, but the remnants of the three kings Zhao Dian who were in ambush in the army before his death.

"It's just that we didn't know people clearly and lost our defenses."

Gu Xiangtan listened quietly, then asked softly after a long time, "Has he... come back?"

Speaking of this, Yan Fang couldn't help but red eyes.

"This subordinate...the subordinate failed to bring back the body of the Sixth Prince."

"What?!" Gu Xiangtan straightened his back abruptly, and the originally calm appearance was peeling off.

Yan Fang said with difficulty, "The six princes are poisoned arrows. This poison is the most poisonous in Nanban. After the poison was gone, and the prince passed away, the imperial doctor came and suggested, suggested that the body... be burned on the spot."

- Boom!

The medicine bowl in Gu Xiangtan's hand fell directly, and the medicine juice in it spilled all over the floor.

"You, what you brought back..."

Yan Fang finished for him, "What this subordinate brought back was... an empty coffin."

After finishing speaking, Su Xi called out.

"Young master—!"

Gu Xiangtan immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell down with difficulty.

……

As soon as the news of the imperial hospital spread, Zhao Su rushed over in a hurry. The imperial doctors did not dare to speak too seriously, but Zhao Su knew that something was wrong when he saw Gu Xiangtan who was ashen ashes on the sick bed.

He kicked down the head of the court who was kneeling at the front, and shouted coldly, "Why was it fine yesterday, but now it's like this, what on earth did you do!"

All the imperial physicians said in their hearts: "Where was it so good yesterday? The fate of Lingfo has been getting worse day by day, but today it seems to be even worse."

But on the face, no one dared to answer, and knew that the matter was serious, so they kept shaking their heads and kowtowed over and over again, "Your servant should die."

Gu Xiangtan woke up amidst the wailing, he opened his eyes and looked at the majestic Zhao Su who was standing in front of his couch, his brows were calm.

Seeing him looking at him, Zhao Su chased all these people out, his heart was on fire, he paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and finally couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "You humiliate yourself like this What do you mean? Blame me? Hate me?"

Gu Xiangtan seemed to snort and laugh, but he immediately coughed and gasped, and took a moment to speak.

"Nothing to do with you."

The simple four words made Zhao Su's throat choked up unbearably, he could see that what Gu Xiangtan said was not angry, he really never remembered himself in his heart, never.

Zhao Su clenched his fists, his face was livid, but a sneer appeared on his lips the next moment.

"That's it. From the beginning to the end, this is your own idea. No one forced you. Why did Zhao Yuan go to the border? Why did the remnants of the Three Kings hate him so much? Now he has died in a foreign land without a whole body. As a result, And who is to blame!"

Who is to blame?

No wonder he Gu Xiangtan.

Gu Xiangtan curled his lips, a half-smile flashed across his face, he nodded lightly, "It's me, I'm the one who caused him, so he hates me, and until now he refuses to dream of me... "

Zhao Su gritted his teeth and said for a moment, "You know that the enthronement ceremony will be held soon, and the funeral ceremony will naturally be postponed at this time of great joy."

Gu Xiangtan was stunned, and looked at Zhao Su in disbelief, but Zhao Su responded with a cruel expression.

But when he saw that Gu Xiangtan's whole body began to tremble, and the dark red blood dripped down the corner of his lips, Zhao Su became anxious again, rushed over to support him, and roared out.

"—the Imperial Physician!"

……

In the middle of the night, the entire National Teacher's Mansion was dead silent, and this dead silence spread outward like a ripple invisible to the naked eye, spreading from the street to the end of the street, from the inside of the city to the outside of the city.

In less than half a day, the entire capital knew that the spirit Buddha of Daye's generation was dying!

For a moment, the crowd was in grief, and people kept rushing to the National Teacher's Mansion, and the people sent by Zhao Su blocked the door.

In the dark inner room of the mansion, only two small lamps were lit. Gu Xiangtan slightly raised his hand in the dark night, and Su Xi hurriedly leaned over to listen to him.

Gu Xiangtan said softly, "Paper, pen..."

Su Xi was startled, and then burst into tears, flowing down his cheeks line by line.

"Young master, no, don't..."

Gu Xiangtan looked at the attendant who grew up with him in front of him, even though his eyes had gradually lost focus, his gentle expression remained the same as before.

Gu Xiangtan patted Su Xi's head vigorously, and said it again.

"Paper, pen..."

An Yin couldn't bear to look at this scene, turned around and brought the things on the table.

Gu Xiangtan didn't know where the strength came from, but he slowly sat up leaning on the bed frame, and wrote down the birth date of the next generation of spiritual Buddha little by little with the dim candlelight, just like in the past, when the previous generation of spiritual Buddha passed away as done before.

After half a moment, Gu Xiangtan was already sweating profusely, he propped up his pen while Su Xi finally burst into tears.

Gu Xiangtan said to An Yin who was also in tears, "Has the abbot arrived?"

An Yin nodded slowly.

It was related to the birth and demise of the Lingfo. The monks of Xiangguo Temple, who had always taken this as their own responsibility, had already foreshadowed it. They had set off ten days ago and had just arrived outside the mansion just a moment before.

After a while, an old monk in cassock came into the room silently, met Gu Xiangtan's slack eyes, and Abbot Guanshi resignedly called out a dharma call.
