When facing the first downside

When Lu Shi stepped out of the palace gate, his footsteps stopped, he turned to look in the direction of the East Palace, his lips moved slightly, thousands of words turned into a sigh, he turned and left without nostalgia.

In the East Palace, as long as Lu Shi stayed in the dungeon, Gu Cenyuan was trapped for as long. Emperor Chongde was determined not to make any retreat.

Gu Cenyuan's closed eyes widened dramatically, his face was ugly, he dreamed that Lu Shi was gone.

He didn't eat anything for a few days, and Gu Cen Yuan couldn't stand it any longer. He knocked on the door and said, "Bring some food for Gu."

The guards outside the door were overjoyed. The food deliverers were scolded for the past few days, and they were about to cry. Although everyone was afraid that Gu Cenyuan would be hungry, they couldn't bear the blood of being scolded all day long.

Now that Gu Cenyuan took the initiative to ask, the guards hurriedly responded and went to prepare.

Waiting for people to walk away, Gu Cenyuan put his ears on the door, listening to the footsteps, and estimated that there should be about seven or eight guards.

He picked up the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground, cut open the sleeves, and tore them into strips along the lines, tearing and tearing, Gu Cenyuan laughed at himself, it really was completely broken.

Wrapping his palm tightly and holding it, feeling the tightness, he leaned sideways against the crack of the door.

The guard said outside, "Your Highness, the food is here."

After speaking, carefully open the door to the width of the food box.

It's now!

Gu Cenyuan snatched the food box in a hurry, and the person who handed it was accidentally dragged into the side hall, and the guards at the door immediately stepped forward upon seeing this.

After being hit hard by Gu Cenyuan with a food box, he covered his head and fell to the ground, holding back his voice, "His Royal Highness wants to escape!"

There was neither big nor small movement, but after the guard's voice, the rest of the people all rushed to the door.

Gu Cenyuan's kung fu was not bad, and the guards didn't dare to hurt him, so he was more than capable.

He knocked down the sword of the person facing him, rolled forward to pick it up, put the sword on his neck, his eyes were bloodshot, "If anyone stops Gu again, Gu will ask all of your nine clans to come and be buried with him!"

The guards were already in a dilemma, and now they dared not move at all. Gu Cenyuan didn't hold back, and seized the opportunity to rush out of the palace.

He unloaded the horses of the carriage at the palace wall, and galloped away like the wind, regardless of the decree that horses were not allowed to ride in the street.

When he arrived at the Dingdu Hou's Mansion, he happened to meet a handyman who was setting down a plaque. Gu Cenyuan stabbed the sword in his hand at the plaque. The tip of the sword sank three inches, and the hilt trembled slightly. The plaque you are allowed to remove?!"

The noon sun was as white as the light reflected from a sword, and it was cold. Gu Cenyuan's eyes were red, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were in tatters, and there were dried blood stains. He looked like a murderous ghost.

"This...Young Master," the head of the handyman looked at Gu Cenyuan's dilapidated clothes, but they were made of high-quality materials. He only thought that he had a feud with the owner of the mansion, and shook it off without saying a word, "This The Marquis of the Marquis Mansion said that he resigned, but the mansion was approved by the government, and the house will be rebuilt after the man leaves..."

"Resign?!" Gu Cenyuan interrupted him, asking back in disbelief.

"Yes, yes," the handyman took the opportunity to clear up, "so you can go to him if you have anything to do, don't make things difficult..."

Gu Cenyuan was impatient to hear this, interrupted and asked, "Did you see which direction he was going?!"

I just said a few words, and every sentence was interrupted. The person in charge couldn't hold back his face, and said a little dissatisfied, "Young master, that's not what you said, and we have no obligation..."

Gu Cenyuan narrowed his eyes, and his eyes slipped from the sword inserted on the plaque to him. The handyman shivered, pointed to the south direction, and stammered, "Go, go there, the big cart and the small cart are dragging, It should not have gone far..."

When Gu Cenyuan heard this, he immediately rode away, and the dust from the horse's hoof flew all over the handyman.

The handyman ate a mouthful of dirt, and saw that the onlookers were laughing at him, and cursed fiercely, "What are you looking at, why don't you hurry up and take down the plaque!"

Everyone was silent, bowed their heads and yelled at work.

"Huh!" There was another loud sound of hoofbeats, Ya Dan stopped his horse and asked, "Did you see a messy man passing by on a horse?"

The head of the handyman was about to be annoyed to death. He thought it was an easy job today, but he was interrupted again and again. He turned his head angrily. After seeing Yadan dressed in black, with a stern face and a group of people behind him, The word "no" turned a corner in his mouth, and swallowed it back, "I see, let's go in this direction."

Ya Dan nodded, and drove his horse to the south.

Gu Cenyuan's hand holding the rein was so tight that the injured part began to ooze blood again, and his arm trembled unconsciously.

Faster, faster.

Ya Dan's voice came from behind, "Your Highness! Please return to the palace!"

Gu Cenyuan caught a glimpse of Yadan catching up from the corner of his eye. He gritted his teeth, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and whipped the horse's whip down. The horse neighed and moved forward at a high speed, pulling away some distance.

But Yadan and the others were riding Yumasi's horse. Gu Cenyuan was a horse on a carriage that was unloaded at will. After a sudden explosion, the speed gradually slowed down.

"Your Highness!" Ya Dan caught up, lagging behind Gu Cenyuan by half a horse.

The wind was blowing sharply, and the hair hit the face like tiny whips, numb and painful.

Gu Cenyuan desperately changed direction to block the crow pill.

If you don't slow down, Yadan will crash straight into it, and Gu Cenyuan will be crippled if he doesn't die.

Ya Dan didn't dare to take any risks, so he pulled the reins and skimmed in the same direction. The horse let out an uncomfortable cry, and the horse's head brushed against Gu Cen Yuanzuo's dismounted ponytail, narrowly missing.

Ya Dan sat on the horse in shock, watching Gu Cenyuan's figure getting further and further away.

The people behind caught up, and Ya Dan gestured, "Chasing."

Considering Lu Shi's health, Lu Shi and his group walked slowly. Lu Shi suddenly started to get motion sickness halfway, so he stopped at Wushi Pavilion to rest.

When Gu Cenyuan saw the chariots and horses at Wushi Pavilion from afar, his heart skipped a beat.

When he got closer, it turned out that it was Lu Shi and his party. Lu Shi was sitting in the center of the pavilion, lying on the table, as if he was not feeling well, and Lu Baiyang was fanning him.

Gu Cenyuan reined in the rope and got off his horse on the spot. He walked over and stood motionless outside the pavilion, only looking at Lu Shi.

Lu Shi closed his eyes, Lu Baiyang turned his back to him, Madam Lu was in the carriage, no one noticed that there was another person outside the pavilion for a while.

But his gaze was too scorching, Lu Shi's eyelids moved slightly, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes met Gu Cenyuan's.

"Ashi..." Gu Cenyuan took a small step forward.

The image of the person in front of him was much different from the past, tattered, blood-stained, Lu Shi had no expression, calm to indifferent.

Lu Baiyang was startled, he turned around and saw Gu Cenyuan, and said stiffly, "It's His Royal Highness..."

Mrs. Lu said something to him, and he looked at Gu Cenyuan with complicated emotions.

"It's me," Gu Cenyuan licked his lips, the wind-blown wound was open and a little painful, "I'm here..."

"Your Highness! Please return to the palace quickly!" Ya Dan shouted in the distance, and stopped by the pavilion in a few breaths. The dust raised made Lu Shi frown and cough twice.

Gu Cenyuan's heart tightened, and he was about to ask, but was interrupted by Lu Shi.

"Your Highness," Lu Shi stood up with the help of the table, he stood on the edge of the pavilion, and bowed to the end, "Caomin is alone now, there is nothing worthy of His Highness's troubles to pursue, and I hope His Highness...remember the old love... Come on, fulfill the request of the grass people to go home."

After finishing speaking, he was about to get into the carriage. Gu Cenyuan told Lu Shi to chase after him, but was stopped by Lu Baiyang. He frowned and shook his head, "Your Highness."

Gu Cenyuan pursed his lips, but there was still a persistent expression between his brows.

Suddenly, Lu Shi's hand to lift the curtain froze, and he turned his head and smiled at Gu Cenyuan.

Gu Cenyuan was dazzled by this smile, but Lu Shi immediately threw down a basin of cold water, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Now I can see His Highness's persistence, but Your Highness, we should not meet each other in the future. "

Gu Cenyuan frowned, feeling that something was wrong, before he had time to think about it, Ya Dan tapped his acupoints from behind, "Your Highness, I'm sorry."

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Lu Shi and Lu Baiyang, and helped Gu Cenyuan onto the carriage that came behind him.

Gu Cenyuan's eyes in the carriage could devour people, staring at Yadan, Yadan lowered the curtain and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is His Majesty's order. After the matter is over, I am willing to accept any punishment."

When it was dark, Gu Cenyuan and his party returned to the palace. After unlocking the acupoints, the first thing he did was to grab Yadan by the collar, grind his teeth and say, "Where is Du Wei?"

The time in the carriage was enough for him to figure it out. On the appointed day, Lu Shi must have not returned to Dingduhou's Mansion, and Du Wei was lying to him.

Ya Dan talked about him from left to right, "Your Highness, go take a bath first... eh!"

Gu Cenyuan slammed his fist on his face, saying every word, "Where is it?"

Crow Dan's eyes flickered.

"You let Lu Shi go," Gu Cenyuan laughed, with a trace of evil, "So, what do you think the lonely people in the capital have to worry about?"

"Is it fun to close the solitary in the East Palace?" Gu Cenyuan raised his knee and slammed into Yadan's abdomen, "Huh?"

Bloodstains slipped from the corner of Ya Dan's mouth, he didn't hold back the pain and let out a muffled snort.

The guards on one side were terrified and knelt on the ground together.

Gu Cenyuan pulled out Yadan's saber, threw him on the ground, flicked the blade, and made a buzzing sound.

He smiled with satisfaction, raised his sword and pointed at Yadan, and said to the guards kneeling in a row, "For you, if you are not satisfied with what you say, you will cut off one of his limbs."

Gu Cenyuan smiled and said, "You have four chances."

The guard's scalp was numb, and he said, "In the cold palace."

There is only one empress in Emperor Chongde's harem, and the cold palace is naturally an abandoned palace, not to mention the remote location, and no one takes care of it on weekdays.

Gu Cenyuan got the answer, pointed at the guard who spoke with his sword, "Go and bring Du Wei to the East Palace."

"Here."

Gu Cenyuan's gaffe did not last long. After he bathed and changed, his whole body was no different from before, but it seemed a little different than before.

When Gu Cenyuan came to the main hall, Du Wei was already kneeling inside. Du Wei was no different from when he just returned to the palace, disgraced and even more dying.

Gu Cenyuan walked in front of him and said without emotion, "Get up."

Du Wei didn't move, he was so weak that he couldn't even kneel straight, his head rested on the ground, and choked up, "His Royal Highness, that day Lu Shaoxia waited on Qinglong Street and didn't return to Dingduhou's Mansion, and finally... was finally locked up Dali Temple."

Du Wei kowtowed hard and closed his eyes, "Miss Jiang... said everything in prison."

Gu Cenyuan's hand under the sleeve was clenched suddenly, his nails pinched hard on the soft flesh of his palm, blood pooled into beads and dripped on the ground.

"Get your own punishment."

Du Wei kowtowed, eyes full of shame, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not giving up."

Receiving a punishment means that past mistakes are written off. As long as he can survive, Du Wei will still be the prince's valet in the future.

Blood dripped from Gu Cenyuan's heart, and he was trembling with anger. He planned to make an appointment to explain the truth to Lu Shi personally that day, but they didn't even give him half a day, insisting on tearing them apart abruptly.

Heart agitated, Gu Cenyuan rushed all the way into the Yonghe Palace with hatred in his heart. Eunuch Xi at the door saw him and stretched out his hands to block him, saying, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has something to do now..."

"Is there anything else you can't listen to alone?" Gu Cenyuan blocked back coldly.

Eunuch Xi choked, and laughed dryly, "Of course there is nothing His Highness can't hear."

"That's it." Gu Cenyuan pushed Eunuch Xi away and walked straight into Yonghe Palace.

"Your Highness!" Eunuch Xi cried out incessantly, and followed behind him.

In the hall, Emperor Chongde was talking to Elder Jiang Ge, but he turned a blind eye and said in an aggressive tone, "Why didn't father keep his promise, why can't he even wait for half a day?!"

Emperor Chongde's expression was as usual, and he didn't shy away from Elder Jiang Ge, pointing to the throne, "You can only choose one between this and Lu Shi."

Gu Cenyuan smiled sarcastically, "Father, don't you really think that your ministers care about this?"

"Zuo Yunqi's body will recover in a short time, and Da Hui is not unmanned, and my son is not ashamed to leave."

Gu Cenyuan's words were loud and loud, and he was about to turn around and leave after speaking.

Emperor Chongde was furious, "This is beyond your control!"

Eunuch Xi, who followed in, blocked Gu Cenyuan with a crying face, and said silently, Your Highness, stop contradicting me.

"Yun Qi's illness has dragged on for too long, and even if he recovers, he still can't reach the level of ordinary people." Emperor Chongde paused, and said in a deep voice, "You have to take care of this lady, and you have to marry Jiang Yao."

Gu Cen Yuanqi smiled. Emperor Chongde was afraid of the influence of his relatives, so he set up the position of elder Jiang Ge, and now he wants to wipe his ass for fear of being chilled?

"You give it to me." Thinking of Du Wei's words, Gu Cenyuan's eyes showed cruelty, "I will hang her every day after giving it to her, and use the punishment from the Ministry of Punishment on her."

Gu Cenyuan turned to look at Elder Jiang Ge, "How many days do you think she can live?"

Jiang Ge covered his heart old-fashionedly, and said angrily to Emperor Chongde, "Your Majesty, the Jiang family cannot afford this kindness."

Emperor Chongde was very angry, "It's against you, Mr. Xi, pass the decree! The prince has lost his virtue, and he will be expelled from the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum from now on, so as to think about his past!"

"When will you figure it out before you come out!"

Gu Cenyuan smiled instead of anger, as if he was afraid that Emperor Chongde would regret it, he said, "Thank you, Father, for your gift."

After speaking, without waiting for Emperor Chongde to react, he flung his sleeves and left. The angry Emperor Chongde pointed at his back and repeatedly scolded Nizi.

After Gu Cenyuan went back, he found Du Wei who was being tortured, took him with him, and went to the imperial mausoleum overnight, one person and one horse.

So far, Kyoto has lost a Dingduhou, and the East Palace has lost a Crown Prince.

It seems like something has changed, and it seems like nothing has changed.
