Days and nights haunted by villains

Time passed quickly, Gu Yuanzhi was grinding ink and serving in the imperial study, and the New Year's Eve was approaching before he knew it.

He always remembered that Jiang Yu asked him not to forget to come to the palace during the Chinese New Year, but at the same time he was also thinking about his family, and he was having a headache how to take care of both sides.

The mother's health has always been poor, and when she was young, she was still busy directing the maids and servants to sacrifice the stove and sweep the dust, but Gu Ting knew about it and rushed back to stop her.The mother was stubborn, but in the end she still listened to Gu Ting and Gu Yuanzhi's persuasion, which made the maids and servants breathe a sigh of relief.

Because her mother was always busy, Jiang Yu allowed Gu Yuanzhi to go home for two days without saying when she would go back, but asked him to help her with a message to ask her about her health.When he had the opportunity to go back, Gu Yuanzhi just picked up the "Martial Arts" that he had left behind for a long time to read, and he could also use the book to stay with his mother.

"The last time the emperor asked his son to go to the palace during the New Year, but he still has to spend the New Year with his parents. These days, he is worried about what to do with this matter, but he has lost a lot of his hair." Gu Yuanzhi looked When I was writing a book, I suddenly remembered this matter, so I mentioned it to my mother half-jokingly.

The mother glanced at him when she heard the words, and said: "If the emperor has given the order, I will go to the palace to accompany the emperor. The empress left early, and now the middle palace is empty, and there is only the emperor in the palace during the Chinese New Year."

"But my father and mother are only my son, and they are willing to drive me away after the Chinese New Year?" Gu Yuanzhi said with a smile.

The mother put down the half-made clothes, tapped Gu Yuanzhi's nose, and cursed with a smile: "I'll be bored seeing you every day."

"Yes, when the time comes to win the martial arts and go to the frontier of Zanhua, mother, don't think about me." Gu Yuanzhi also answered with a smile, seeing the little clothes on his mother's hand, knowing that the other party is also looking forward to this child, I had to sigh from the bottom of my heart.

It's not that Gu Ting never tried to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him.The mother didn't want to kill the child with medicine at this time, she wanted to let nature take its course, if she could keep it, she would stay, if she couldn't keep it, it meant she had no fate.

Even if something strange like transmigrating a book happened, Gu Yuanzhi is not a very superstitious person.But when his mother talked about fate, Gu Yuanzhi never refuted her, just listened quietly.

Seeing Gu Yuanzhi looking at the little clothes in his hands, his mother guessed what the other person was thinking, and smiled, "Don't be afraid, it's fine."

"Well, it must be safe and sound." Gu Yuanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up the book and pretended to do his homework after he answered the words, but he didn't read a single word.

These two days passed quickly, and before Gu Yuanzhi could react, Jiang Yu had already sent Guo Yu to pick him up.

"The emperor said that just because of these imperial seals, there is nothing to do in the palace. After the first day of the first lunar month, I will take you to the palace in the suburbs of Beijing to play until the 15th Lantern Festival." Guo Yu stood in front hall, smiling at Gu Yuanzhi with his sleeves covered.

Gu Yuanzhi had a good relationship with Guo Yu, and the other party told himself that Jiang Yu didn't intend to let him consider it at all, and if he didn't go, he might be in trouble.

"Just drink a few cups of tea, and I'll pack up and go into the palace with you." Gu Yuanzhi felt a little bit of Jiang Yu's temper these days by his side, but he didn't feel awkward anymore, he just went back to pack some change of clothes generously Then he followed Guo Yu out the door.

I thought he was going there on horseback, but Jiang Yu specially sent a carriage from the palace to pick him up, but just as he was about to get into the carriage, he saw Xu Ye coming.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Far away, it's New Year's Eve today, where are you going?" Xu Ye didn't see Guo Yu, but walked straight towards Gu Yuanzhi with a warm smile on his face.

Gu Yuanzhi didn't hide it, anyway, his whereabouts these days are not a secret in the court at all, and a small number of officials scolded Jiang Yu for making him serve the pen and ink in violation of the rules, and Jiang Yu stabbed him on the spot. Let's talk.

It's not because Gu Yuanzhi is too powerful to be messed with, it's just because Jiang Yu is a moody person, and God knows if this naughty brother who doesn't even hold an official position will be driven back tomorrow.

For such a duckweed who could be driven away at any time, it is not worthwhile to confront Jiang Yu head-on, and provoke a court staff who does not know whether he will lose his life.

However, looking at Xu Ye's appearance, Gu Yuanzhi didn't seem to know that he was by Jiang Yu's side these days.

"I've been studying in the Imperial Academy these days, and I went back to your house to look for you several times, but your servants always said you weren't there." Xu Ye quickly explained why he didn't know about this, but Gu Yuanzhi's face was weird The expression is neither closed nor stayed.

Fortunately, at this time, Guo Yu turned around after talking to the coachman over there, just in time to see Xu Ye talking to Gu Yuanzhi, raised his eyebrows, and secretly remembered.

"Hello, Eunuch Guo, are you here to approach Yuanzhi and enter the palace?" Xu Ye knew Guo Yu, and when he saw him coming, he narrowed his eyes and then put on a smile to face him.

"Editor Xu. Yes, the emperor ordered our family to invite Mr. Gu to live in the palace." Guo Yu said to Xu Ye with a smile.

Xu Ye was surprised when he heard this, and said, "This...is it against the rules?"

"The emperor is the rules, there is nothing against the rules." Guo Yu said this with a smile, and then invited Gu Yuanzhi into the carriage on the grounds that the emperor was still waiting.

Gu Yuanzhi could hear the disagreement between the two just now, but he didn't know when the rift arose between them.

He raised the curtain of the carriage and looked back, just in time to meet Xu Ye who was still standing there watching the carriage go away.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see a trace of paranoia flashing in Xu Ye's eyes just now.

Guo Yu glanced at Gu Yuanzhi casually, and kept his reaction in his heart so that he could go back and report to Jiang Yu.

The carriage walked quickly, and it didn't take long to reach the gate of the palace. He flashed his waist card and let the carriage go in. He didn't get out of the carriage until he was about to enter the inner palace.

"The emperor is waiting for you at the Qianqing Palace. I will lead you there and leave. The emperor never likes to be surrounded by servants, and you know that." Guo Yu led him through the Qianqing Gate and led him outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace. , then stopped.

Gu Yuanzhi thanked the other party, glanced at the few changes of clothes in his hand, and hesitated.

Seeing this, Guo Yu stepped forward to take the change of clothes in his hand, and said, "I'll take it for you. Later, where the emperor tells you to live, I'll take the clothes there. Zuo Zuo will go to the palace tomorrow. I don’t think I can live in the palace for long.”

Gu Yuanzhi nodded, thanked him again, and walked into the gate of Qianqing Palace.

When he entered, he didn't see Jiang Yu, so Gu Yuanzhi looked at the West Nuan Pavilion, and then at the East Nuan Pavilion, guessing that Jiang Yu should meet the ministers or approve memorials in the West Nuan Pavilion, so he started to walk there.

"Far away, Dongnuan Pavilion."

Suddenly, Jiang Yu's voice came from the direction of East Nuan Pavilion, startling Gu Yuanzhi who was about to go to West Nuan Pavilion.

However, he didn't dare to delay, he turned his head and walked into Dongnuan Pavilion after gathering his composure.

As soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Yu sitting there looking at something lazily. When he came in, he put down the book in his hand and beckoned him to come over.

"Sit next to me." Jiang Yu knocked on the other side of the table, telling Gu Yuanzhi to sit on the other side.

After Gu Yuanzhi asked Ann, he didn't raise his eyes to look at the other party, he walked over there and sat down.

Facing Jiang Yu, he was able to ignore these sudden closeness and occasional privileges.

However, this was also because what Jiang Yu gave was actually nothing.Otherwise, Gu Yuanzhi felt that he might not be able to adapt.

"There will be no New Year's Eve banquet tonight. Tell me what you want to eat, and I will let the imperial dining room do it." Jiang Yu smiled, his reflection reflected in a pair of light brown eyes, as if there was only one person in his eyes.

"Yuanzhi doesn't have any preferences, the emperor alone decides." Gu Yuanzhi lowered his eyes, because he didn't know what Jiang Yu was afraid of, so he didn't dare to order casually.

Jiang Yu looked at him, pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and said, "Then I will let the imperial dining room watch and cook a table of New Year's Eve dinner."

In fact, the imperial dining room prepared the ingredients early in the morning, and made some in a proper manner first, waiting to see Jiang Yu's order, if there are more, then rush to make them, if not, they will present the prepared ones.

The person who delivered the message was Guo Yu, and it was also Guo Yu who led the meal delivery eunuchs in.

The New Year's Eve dinner was eaten early, Jiang Yu took Gu Yuanzhi to the table and sat down, waiting for the eunuch to try the dishes before he could move his chopsticks.

"Great reunion on New Year's Eve, I snatched you into the palace, Gu Ting, is he dissatisfied?" Jiang Yu's voice was very soft, but it made Gu Yuanzhi feel a little shivering down the spine.

He understood that Jiang Yu might not have any malice towards him at this time, but the identity and character of the other party's villain had to make him feel scared.

Moreover, the three words "snatch into the palace" are really weird, which made Gu Yuanzhi frowned.

Seeing the other party's frown, Jiang Yu chuckled and stretched out his hand to touch his brow.

"Don't frown, I don't like it." Jiang Yu gently stroked his eyebrows, as if trying to smooth the frown.

It is impossible for Gu Yuanzhi to still frown after the other party spoke. Dang even calmed down and answered his question just now: "Father is loyal to the emperor, so he will not be dissatisfied because of such a thing. Parents usually You must have gotten tired of watching it so often, it’s no big deal if you’re not here on New Year’s Eve.”

After finishing speaking, Gu Yuanzhi smiled at Jiang Yu, trying to reassure him.

Jiang Yu also understood what Gu Yuanzhi meant, and turned the hand that was on the other's brow to touch his face, all the way down, caressing the tip of his chin provocatively, and said: "Yuanzhi, I like obedient people, you are very obedient."

These words were even weirder than those three words just now, the smile froze on Gu Yuanzhi's face, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of falling to the ground from outside.

Jiang Yu didn't take her hand back, but turned her head to see what was going on outside the door, her expression was a little bad, as if she was unhappy about being disturbed.

Soon, Gu Yuanzhi saw Guo Yu walking in with a serious expression on his face.

As soon as he came in, he bent over and walked towards Jiang Yu, reporting the sound of falling to the ground outside just now.

"Your Majesty, the New Year's Eve dinner delivered by the Imperial Dining Room was poisoned."
