Wearing the white moonlight of a rival

Chapter 3 That Familiar Face

Even though he has seen the cruelest conspiracy in the world, but in the face of such a bizarre incident, Gu Heng still couldn't calm down, nor could he find any way to solve it.

The only thing he can do is to use his current status to live well.

Having experienced too many life-and-death predicaments in the past, Gu Heng is not afraid of death. When others think that he is bound to die, he can always survive by surprise. This is because he has always been calm and good at analyzing pros and cons. Find the best one among them, and then use it for your own use.

After a brief thought, he knew that the poison pill was by no means ineffective, but really poisoned him to death.

As for why his soul is still living in another person's body, although it is puzzling, since it has become a fact, it is useless to entangle. Maybe the real reason can be found in the future, but the most important thing now Yes, how to survive.

Just now that little servant Shen Yu mentioned a critical time point, six years.

If he guessed correctly, it would have been six years since Wei Minghuan ascended the throne at this moment, and it must have been six years since he died in Dali Temple.

However, for him, everything seemed to be just a moment, and the moment of taking the poison seemed to be just around the corner.

He closed his eyes, resisted the turmoil in his heart, and thought about what kind of speech he would prepare when he saw Shen Yu later, and then lay back on the bed again.

Now this body is really sick. After getting out of bed and walking for a few steps, I feel weak in my feet, and my whole body is limp and weak.

"It's not good! It's not good, Mr. Heng..." Shen Yu rushed in stumbled, did not bring the doctor and Yicheng, but had a look of grief on his face.

"What's wrong?" Gu Heng asked.

Shen Yu threw herself down in front of Gu Heng's bed, "Master Heng, Master You was beaten to death."

"What?" Gu Heng asked in surprise, "Who did it?"

As Gu You, the magistrate of Honglu Temple, and a collateral descendant of the Gu family, how could he be beaten to death?That beater must be too arrogant!

Gu Heng thought to himself, Shen Yu replied: "It's Prince Shun."

Gu Heng frowned, "Prince Shun?"

He didn't have this title six years ago, but soon he thought of it, "Is it the former fourth prince Wei Mingkai?"

Shen Yu nodded, "That's right, I heard from that bastard Yi Cheng that Prince Shun has long been disgusted with our Master You, and this time he played a ruthless hand and asked someone to beat him to death! Mr. Heng, what can we do?" Do it?"

Gu Heng's only support in the capital is his father, Gu You, and his mother is a woman from a small family, unable to take on any major responsibilities. From Shen Yu's point of view, this is no different from the sky falling.

Shen Yu said with tears: "Master Heng, do you think the Changting Marquis Mansion will not let us in, we Master You..."

When Gu Heng heard it, he immediately said seriously: "Is the Gu family the kind of person you think? Gu Lingcheng is an official in the court and a relative of the Gu family, and even the Marquis of Changting can't sit idly by. Ask him for justice!"

Shen Yudao: "I heard that now the Marquis of Changting claims to be out of illness, and in the court, only Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhuo are walking around, but they both hold idle jobs and have no real power. They are very oppressed by the emerging poor students and others. Prince Shun also He is His Majesty's blood brother, even if we want to seek justice, will His Majesty favor Prince Shun?"

Gu Heng thought about it, "No."

He knew Wei Minghuan and the grievances between Wei Minghuan and Wei Mingkai even more, if Wei Minghuan was to favor Wei Mingkai, the sun might come out from the west.

I think back when he was studying in the Imperial College, Wei Minghuan was not favored by the late emperor because of his low status and his mother was a court lady. Although he bore the name of a prince, he was actually bullied by his peers, and the one who took the lead was Wei Mingkai, these two have a small grudge.

Gu Heng was still young at that time and didn't know how to stand in line, but he also said a few words for Wei Minghuan. Wei Mingkai's camp often cannot help himself.

In fact, Gu Heng and Wei Mingkai have been together for many years, so that person would not do such irrational and criticized things.

After all, the Gu family was his reliance and ally in the past, even if he wanted to curry favor with Wei Minghuan, even if he wanted to dispel that person's suspicion and disassociate himself from the Gu family, he would not beat Gu You to death in a grand manner. ?

There must be a reason for this.

Gu Heng frowned, and when he saw Shen Yu's snot and tears, he quickly comforted him, "Don't cry, it's not certain whether this news is true or not."

Shen Yu wiped her nose, but listened to Gu Heng's words very much, "Can there be a lie? It was said by that bastard Yi Cheng. If he dares to lie to me, I will fight him hard!"

"If there is a funeral for the Gu family, then of course we have to report the funeral." Gu Heng pondered, "Take a step back, even if this matter is true, we have to wait until we arrive in the capital to make a decision. We don't know anything now. It’s really not worth thinking about.”

Shen Yu has no brains and is young, so she is just Gu Heng's little follower on weekdays, helping him to wash and wash, and serving tea and water.

Naturally, he listened to whatever the master said, seeing that Gu Heng was not crying in grief, he had a backbone.

"Perhaps it was the Yi Cheng who lied to the servant, and the servant begged him to find a doctor, but he refused..." Shen Yu complained angrily, "The purpose of our trip to Beijing was to marry Mr. Heng, but he But I can't stand it, insisting on calling a happy event a funeral..."

These words reminded Gu Heng, Gu Heng quickly asked: "Is my marriage settled?"

Shen Yu said: "What is the decision? If it is really settled, we old lady don't have to be so anxious, Mr. Heng, you are almost in your thirties, if it is not because of your weak health, you have lived in Hanshan Temple all year round, and now you are probably a wife and concubine. group..."

Groups of wives, concubines and children?Hearing this, Gu Heng frowned slightly, he didn't think so.

But calculating Gu Heng's age, he should be 28 years old, which is the same age as when he died. Thinking about it this way, it really seems that the six years that disappeared in the middle are gone.

Shen Yu didn't understand what Gu Heng was thinking, he followed Gu Heng's mother's instructions, "This has to be settled before the year, the old lady wrote in a letter, if it is not settled, all the good girls in the capital city will have to enter Heaven."

"What's the matter, are you going to fail the draft?" Gu Heng asked in surprise.

Shen Yu replied smoothly, "Yes, I heard news from the palace that His Majesty is going to be drafted this year, and some girls who don't want to enter the palace are all talking about marriage? It's not a servant who is gossiping about His Majesty. It has been six years since His Majesty took the throne. This is the first election for a show girl. I didn’t even have a low-ranking concubine before. I heard that there was no one around when I was in the hidden mansion. How can a man bear it? Could it be that there is something wrong with his body..."

Gu Heng coughed lightly and interrupted Shen Yu, "Shen Yu, how old are you, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Yu laughed and said, "I'm just talking to Mr. Heng, no one knows anyway."

"Then don't talk nonsense." Gu Heng said seriously, "That person is now His Majesty, who dares to offend the power of the emperor? Just now you taught me to be careful with words. I think you are a big mouth yourself. If you let that person know you Arrange him like this, you must be stripped of your skin!"

Gu Heng understands Wei Minghuan's temperament very well. This person is smart and forbearing, and he always takes revenge. If anyone says anything against him, he can pay back ten sentences.

When he was a prince in the past, he still had to pretend to be complacent, but he took revenge in private. You can tell from his style of marching and fighting. After so many years, he was dispatched to the frontier. Once the Di people came to attack him, he was bound to fight. The opponent has no power to fight back.

Gu Heng also went to the border in the past, and saw with his own eyes how eloquent this man is, how he wins people's hearts and inspires the morale of the army. He dared to rush into the northern border with thousands of soldiers and kill three times. , obedience.

At that time, he knew that this person would become the fourth prince's formidable enemy, but no matter how he explained it, Wei Mingkai didn't believe it at all.

After all, how could the coward who was bullied so badly when he was a child ride on him one day to shit?

In fact, from that moment on, Gu Heng had an intuition in his heart that he might lose.

Later, several other princes broke up one after another, and had to withdraw from the battle for succession. Wei Mingkai became the only prince in the capital city who had a chance to be in charge of the East Palace. His Majesty also has a sixth prince who is far away at the border.

Gu Heng, the most important ally in the past, has become a servant who can come and go as soon as he is called.

He insisted on going his own way and rushing forward, he played a good hand of cards poorly, two or three times he even annoyed His Majesty, but Gu Heng had to help him clean up the mess, until the last time...

Thinking of this, Gu Heng still couldn't help sighing in his heart.

That treason was true, Wei Mingkai couldn't bear the slander from others, seeing that Wei Minghuan was canonized as a general king when he returned to Beijing, he had worked hard in Beijing for many years and had never been canonized, so he felt dissatisfied and went away. road.

Thinking about the group of people he loved and trusted in the next two years, I am afraid that several of them were spies inserted by Wei Minghuan.

Knowing that Gu Heng would dissuade him, Wei Mingkai even hid it from him, and only came to him when the catastrophe happened. Sacrifice for the family.

That His Majesty, who was seriously ill and suspicious, had never seen princes competing for heir apparent, coupled with the ancestral precept that blood relatives should not kill each other, there must be a culprit in this matter, if it couldn't be Wei Mingkai, then he could only find someone else to take the blame.

If Gu Heng didn't go to hell, then his Gu family would have no way to survive.

He is not as loyal as outsiders imagined, even if he has devoted himself to Wei Mingkai for a whole ten years, it is just the result of many balances, and he has no choice but to do it.

"Young Master Heng, Young Master Heng..."

Shen Yu's shout brought Gu Heng back from his thoughts, "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking, Mr. Heng? You didn't answer a few times, and you were completely lost in thought." Shen Yu pursed her lips, as if she was a little unhappy, "Just now you said that your majesty is going to skin your servant, but the servant heard that your majesty is governing the country. Fang is a wise monarch, he is not as cruel as you said, he will definitely not pursue it."

Gu Heng couldn't help but sneered, "Everyone in the world has been brainwashed by him."

"Brainwashing?" Shen Yu looked at Gu Heng strangely, "Master Heng, I think you are different today."

Gu Heng's heart skipped a beat, he pretended to be calm, "Why is it different?"

Shen Yudao: "I can't say it, but the old lady said in the letter about the draft in the palace, Mr. Heng just asked the servant what to do? And you didn't know the servant before, and you wanted to kill the servant..."

The expression on Gu Heng's face couldn't hold back any longer. At any rate, when Shen Yu ran out just now, he thought about some excuses. He coughed twice and began to flicker, "Shen Yu, you have served me by my side for so many years, how could I Are you willing to kill you? I have been very ill for the past two days, you know it, and the fever has not gone down now, and I feel extremely uncomfortable. I seem to have encountered a villain in my sleep, and I can’t tell the reality when I wake up..."

He said it very sincerely, "I am afraid that this disease can only be cured in the Changting Hou Mansion."

Shen Yu nodded, corroborating Gu Heng's words, "Yes, but this servant was taken aback, Mr. Heng, you had nightmares all the way, and now you fell ill all of a sudden, and you have to find a doctor quickly."

If Wei Minghuan is good at flirting with rhetoric, then Gu Heng is good at disguising his true feelings and making people feel sincere.

Therefore, Shen Yu didn't doubt that there was him, coupled with her simple mind, she didn't want to think about complicated things, and with her trust in Gu Heng, she quickly put the previous scene behind her.

"Master Heng, how do you feel now?" Shen Yu asked with concern.

Hearing this, Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it turned out that Gu Heng also had symptoms of nightmares, which confirmed his words.

He raised his hand and touched his forehead, "The fever is quite severe, I'm afraid I need to take medicine."

As soon as Shen Yu heard it, she became nervous, "But there are no doctors and no medicinal materials in this official post. The servant went to ask the postman, but the postcheng didn't want to talk to the servant at all, so it was better to reprimand him..."

While talking, a tall and straight figure turned from the outside, and Gu Heng immediately became vigilant. The man also heard Shen Yu's words, and looked coldly at Yicheng who was smiling obsequiously behind him.

"Lord Jia, is this little servant serious?"

When Shen Yu heard someone outside, her face froze with fright. Sure enough, she would be heard if she said bad things about people, it's over!

He looked at Gu Heng begging for help.

But Gu Heng didn't see his eyes, he just stared blankly at that person, that familiar face.
