I put on my clothes immediately, turned around and said to the prince: "If the Gu worms don't come out, it means he is not the Gu master. It will be useless if you put more blood on him."

In the past few days, I sent people to Zangshu Pavilion to find books about Gu worms, but the palace servants from Zangshu Pavilion came to report that all the books about Gu worms had been sent to the East Palace, and now there are no books about Gu worms in Zangshu Pavilion.

Without a book, I can only ask him about the situation when the head of the Taiyuan Hospital sees me.

Most of the Gu insects are mother Gu. In order to manipulate the Gu insects, the Gu owner will feed the Gu insects blood when they are young, and will not feed other food. Over time, the Gu insects will recognize the master.

There are extremely powerful Gu insects that can even sense the Gu master in other people's bodies.

If this envoy from the Northern Kingdom is the Gu master, the bowl of blood he released is enough to make the Gu worms in my body react.

The crown prince seemed to be unable to hear my words, and the palace people were ordered to do what they said.The envoy also heard what the prince said, and cried out for mercy.I heard his frantic struggle through the screen.

The legs of the chair moved on the masonry, making a harsh sound.It's just that he didn't shout a few words, and someone else stuffed his mouth with something.

At this time, the bathtub had already been moved by the palace servants. Seeing this, I wanted to rush out from behind the screen and stop those people.

But before I could go around the screen, the prince stopped me by hugging my waist.

"Why is my brother so soft-hearted? But a man from the Northland deserves your support?" The prince's tone was light. He always regarded human life like an ant.It turns out that he still hides something from me. I don't know if it's because the emperor is seriously ill, or because I discovered the secret of his life experience. Now he has revealed his true nature.

I turned my head to look at him, "He is not only from the Northern Kingdom, but also an envoy of the Northern Kingdom. If you behave like this, you will start a war between the two countries."

The prince lowered his eyes and his eyes fell on my face. He was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from outside the palace gate.

"Your Highness, the empress is here."

Hearing this, the prince frowned, and his eyes showed displeasure.He let go of me, straightened my clothes and said, "Go back to the bedroom."

I glanced at the envoy from the Northern Kingdom who was still tied up, "Then he..."

"Brother." The prince's tone became more serious, "You are obedient, go back."

Since the queen is here, she must have come to warn the prince, so the prince probably will not kill the envoy of the Northern Kingdom.Thinking of this, I temporarily put away my uneasiness and prepared to leave.But as soon as I walked to the gate of the hall, I saw the queen bringing people over.

When she saw me, her pupils shrank slightly, and her disgust showed on her face.Seeing that I couldn't avoid her, I could only bow my head and salute her.

"My son pays his respects to the empress."

The queen ignored me, she went straight into the hall, and after seeing the situation inside, she immediately ordered the envoys of the Northern Kingdom to be untied, and please go to the side hall to rest.

But those palace people didn't move, they just lowered their heads in panic.

The queen's face became more and more ugly. She looked at the prince and sneered twice, "Well, the queen mother can't call the people around you anymore, can she?"

The prince did not answer this sentence immediately, but glanced at the queen and gave me a look.I know he wants me to leave.

I also felt that it was not suitable for me to stay here, so I turned to leave, but was stopped by the queen again.

"Ninth prince." The queen turned her head. She was older than the emperor, and she had already passed away, but she could vaguely see her youthful beauty, "You come in and talk, the heat has not faded, so don't suffer from heat stroke when you stand outside."

I replied: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your concern, but I still don't want to disturb Empress Empress talking to His Royal Highness."

But the queen was not going to let me go, she walked slowly in front of me, holding my arm like a kind elder, "Good boy, let's have a good talk today." She said to the prince again, "Your hand If the people below don’t step down, the queen mother will speak up directly.”

The crown prince waved his hands expressionlessly, and all the palace members retreated, bringing the envoys from the northern kingdom with them.

"Brother, you also step down." The prince said.

The queen stopped me, "Why is he refunding? Some things are better for him to listen to here."

After the palace people left, the empress lost her smile for a moment, she stretched out her hand to my face, and the long armor scraped my cheek, "This face—has fascinated my son road."

"Mother!" The prince's tone became less pleasant.

The queen raised her slender eyebrows lightly, "Did I say something wrong?" She turned around and spoke in an aggressive tone, "The queen has tolerated you not to kill him, but what are you doing now? For him, at this kind of At a critical juncture, an order was issued to capture the envoys of the Northern Kingdom. If the Northern Kingdom goes to war with us..."

"Then let's go to war." The prince said calmly.

The queen seemed to be so angry that her breathing was a little heavy. She laughed out loud, a laugh that felt absurd, "Chao'er's wings are really hard, you are here to make a fuss over him, poor You married your eldest sister in Mongolia, do you know what life she is living now? In the civil strife in Mongolia, her husband was killed, and she has only a young son who is less than three years old."

The prince's expression changed suddenly, he pursed his lips tightly, and there seemed to be a dark tide surging in his phoenix eyes.

The queen continued: "When your eldest sister left the palace, you were sick for seven days, and in your dreams you were always talking about bringing your eldest sister back. Have you forgotten all about it now?"

"I haven't forgotten." The prince changed his name, his expression showing anxiety.Seeing this, the queen took a few steps forward and grabbed the prince's arms.

"Since you haven't forgotten, you know what you should do. Chao'er, kill him and take him to make amends to the envoys of the Northern Kingdom."

The prince didn't move.

The queen let out a long breath, and her eyes fell on me.The prince resembles her, I thought it was just the appearance, but now I find that not only the appearance, but also the temperament of the eyebrows and eyes.

"If you don't want to kill him, you can just feed him with medicine, and feed him into a scorpion to raise him on the bed. But you don't really touch him. I don't know what harm the Gu worm is. At the envoy of the Northern Kingdom, the queen mother Go ahead and say it, it's just the queen mother pulling down this old face."

The prince broke away from her hand, "Mother, you don't need to worry about the son's affairs, the son has his own affairs..."

Before she finished speaking, the queen slapped the prince on the face with such force that a slap print instantly appeared on the prince's fair face.

"How could this palace have such a foolish son like you?! Are you really going to ignore everything for him?" She said this, angrily, and hit the prince's chest several times with her fist, "I'm so sorry You have worked so hard to raise you so well. You have disobeyed me time and time again for the sake of that bitch's son, and now you are making fun of the whole Bei Dynasty. Your eldest sister married for the sake of the Bei Dynasty and for you to be able to secure the crown prince. , are you going to ruin Bei Dynasty for him now, and make your elder sister's efforts come to naught?"

When she said this, she looked at me with murderous eyes, and there was not only murderous intent in those phoenix eyes similar to the prince's, but also monstrous hatred.

But gradually, that bit of hatred dissipated.The queen walked up to me and actually knelt down.

"When I beg you, don't confuse my son."

After I recovered from the momentary stupefaction, I immediately wanted to help the queen up, but the queen refused to get up. She begged me, "Please let him go, he has already paid too much for you. Concubine, he wouldn't even touch it, and now, for you, he would kill the people from the Northern Kingdom to cure the Gu worms in your body."

"Queen!" The prince forcibly helped the queen up, "Why are you telling him these things?"

"The queen mother begs him to let you go, Chao'er, the queen mother is willing to do anything for you, and so is your elder sister." The queen was crying in the prince's arms, and I couldn't help but take a step back.

The prince noticed my movement, but said nothing, he watched me exit the palace.

My heart was complicated, and I didn't know what to do for a while, so I could only go back to Concubine Zhuang.Concubine Zhuang Gui didn't wake up, but her complexion was better than the previous few days.I gently held Concubine Zhuang Gui's hand, and called Concubine Shengmu in a low voice.

Naturally, Concubine Zhuang would not answer me.

I turned my eyes and looked out of the window, because of the continuous rain, there were fewer flowers outside the window than in previous years.The last ray of skylight was captured by the clouds, and the solitary branches and residual flowers stood quietly.

I turned around again and called out to Concubine Shengmu in a lower voice.

"What should I do?" I asked softly.

The next day, I was allowed to leave the palace with the help of the Fourth Prince.

After the fourth prince knew that I was trapped in Huayang Palace and could not go anywhere, he revealed the matter to many senior court officials.Now the emperor is seriously ill, and the situation in the previous court is so turbulent, so many old officials have made up their minds.

Although I don't know what was written in the notebook, the crown prince probably couldn't resist the pressure and withdrew most of the guards from Huayang Palace.

When I was able to leave the palace, Song Nan also came back.

When he came back to see me, he looked depressed.

"The humble job is not effective, and the drug residues collected earlier have been taken away."

I had already guessed that this was the result. The prince poisoned Concubine Zhuang, so naturally there would be no evidence.

"It's okay, you accompany me to Tianji Palace, I'm going to see the national teacher."

On the surface, I was praying for Concubine Zhuang, and went to Tianji Palace to light the ever-burning lanterns, but in fact I was asking the national teacher for help.The national teacher seemed to have guessed that I would come a long time ago, and he was not surprised when he saw my eyes, while the Cai Weng beside me quickly flew to my shoulder.

It hadn't seen me in months, and now it rubbed its head affectionately against my cheek.But after a while, he questioned me: "Why haven't you come back for so long? Didn't you copy the Buddhist scriptures?"

I touched the lottery man's feathers, and saluted the national teacher, "The disciple is back."

The national teacher nodded slightly to me.

It took me a while to say what was in my heart, "I have something I want to ask Master for help."

"Is it for the matter there?" The national teacher looked towards the east, which was the direction of the palace.

"Yes." I paused, "I want to take my concubine mother and imperial father away from here."

For the prince, I was originally afraid, I was afraid, I wanted to get revenge on Lin Chongtan, that's why I dealt with the prince.I was also grateful before, he erased all traces of me with Lin Chongtan, but he shouldn't touch Concubine Zhuang.

I hate him for poisoning Concubine Zhuang Gui, hate his reckless disregard for human life, and his cruelty. There is absolutely no way I can keep him by my side, so I just want to leave the capital with the people I care about.

As for who is the monarch, I don't want to make this decision.

The national teacher remained silent for a long time, until Cai Weng impatiently pecked at his feather crown, and finally said: "Feng Shu, if your choice today may affect the future situation of Bei Dynasty, do you still want to make this decision? "

"What does Master mean?" I was a little uneasy.

The national teacher caught the Caiweng who was pecking at his feather crown, and handed it to me, "When you princes were born, I told your fortunes. Your fate is the most difficult to see among the brothers, but yours It is closely related to the Bei Dynasty. I asked you to copy Buddhist scriptures and live in Tianji Palace in the hope that you can escape this fate, but now it seems that it will be difficult. Your father asked you to come to me, right?

There is a huge underground passage under the palace, which can directly lead to the outside of the city. This is something that every emperor and national teacher knows. Because the underground passage has too many horizontal and vertical roads, people without a map will only die in the underground passage. that place.I will give you the map, and you take Caiweng with you. It is extremely sensitive to the wind. If you accidentally lose your way, it can help you. "

When the national teacher was talking, Cai Weng suddenly broke away from my hand, it flew to the back of my neck, and buried his head under my collar.
