Iron Armored Emperor

When Di Qiye entered the political affairs hall, Zhuang Zui reported the matter to Gu Lie in the small room.

Jiang Yan was impatient with Mu Lian, and transferred shifts with Zhuang Zui, the deputy commander.Zhuang Zui led people to investigate the situation of the Jiang family's farce last night, so it was Zhuang Zui who came to report.

Zhuang Zui told all about the situation that Jinyi Jinwei had found out, especially the relationship between the theater troupe and the big families in Beijing, and finally confirmed that Jiang Yang's words were true.

His Majesty was obviously in a bad mood, Zhuang Zui explained clearly, and then quietly waited for His Majesty's signal.

"What do you think?" Gu Lie asked suddenly.

Zhuang Zui didn't dare to hesitate, thought quickly, and replied: "This subordinate is confused, thinking that the Prime Minister is too loyal to His Majesty. But the Jiang family and Zuo Zhong wish Zhuang, maybe they want to go one step further."

Jiang Yang was thinking about Gu Lie, and he was determined to be a loyal minister. He would not stand up and force people into Gu Lie's harem.

But there is more than one Jiang Yang in the Jiang family.

A little girl made such a thing. Although this farce looks simple, it cannot be said to be flawless, especially when meeting with an actor in private, her own father may not be able to find out. Her personal girl, Her mother is never dead.

The mother of Miss Jiang's family was named Zhong.

The five surnames of Chu Gu's family members have long been one of you and me, and they can't be torn apart, they can't be torn apart, and they are really connected with each other.

Who doesn't want a queen?

There was a mess behind this, Zhuang Zui could see clearly.

Gu Lie closed his eyes and said nothing, Zhuang Zui felt a little uneasy, and knelt upright.

The accompanying eunuch knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dingguo is here."

Gu Lie opened his eyes, waved Zhuang Zui back from the secret door, and said, "Let him in."

Seeing Di Qiye, Gu Lie's mood instantly improved, and he asked, "What is that?"

Yuan Bao put the lacquer plate he was holding onto the table and withdrew.

Di Qiye pushed the pottery cup filled with suspicious liquid towards Gu Lie: "Don't you want to try it?"

It is the nutrient that Di Qiye said.

Gu Lie looked at the dark green cup of water, but it smelled like grass and trees, the most obvious of which was celery.

"You guys do that too?"

"No," Di Qiye poured himself a cup of sour plum soup, "Vegetables are too expensive, and they have to be synthesized with nutrients and chemicals. I don't know the details, and I don't want to learn this."

Di Qiye didn't know it, and Gu Lie couldn't understand it, but since Di Qiye made it himself, Gu Lie tasted it.

He even swallowed it.

Di Qiye snickered and poured a cup of sour plum soup and handed it over: "I warned you beforehand, don't blame me."

In fact, it's not particularly bad, but it's purely a juice made of raw vegetables. It's like stacking all kinds of vegetable leaves and taking a bite. It's raw, astringent, and bitter.

Although Gu Lie didn't care about the taste, he was an ancient man after all, and he disliked raw food.

"Do you drink this for three meals a day?" Gu Lie asked after a few sips of sour plum soup overcame the aftertaste.

Di Qiye nodded: "Actually, it should be thicker to make people feel full."

Gu Lie still didn't quite understand, so he hummed and signaled that he was listening.

"So I said, it's really nothing."

He himself didn't bear any grudges against Mu Lian, and Gu Lie was not so lenient, so he didn't answer the question, so Di Qiye remained silent and took a sip of sour plum soup.

Finally, Gu Lie sighed.

"You want to save him."

Di Qiye reached out to hold Gu Lie's hand on the table, but said, "No."

"I just hope, let them make their own decisions."

Gu Lie looked at Di Qiye and hit the nail on the head: "You are empty talk. Jiang Yan can't let Mu Lian die, they will definitely choose to cure the poison."

"Who knows," Di Qiye pointed out, "Maintaining the status quo is the safest option. Choosing drug treatment is a gamble on the odds. Only they know what they will choose."

Gu Lie shook his head: "If Mu Lian is cured, he will become Wei Bichen's temperament, or even worse, he will learn to hide his thoughts and make trouble secretly. This is also the probability you said."

Di Qiye said, "Indeed."

"But so what?"

"You will not let someone like Wei Bichen stand in the court of Da Chu. I will not recognize a disciple like Wei Bichen."

"They make their own choices and take their own responsibility. People are always responsible for their own choices."

Di Qiye spoke very calmly, but there was a vague feeling that Gu Lie couldn't grasp, and he couldn't help holding his hand tightly.

Obviously Di Qiye's answer dispelled Gu Lie's latent worries, but Gu Lie still couldn't help asking: "Is he your apprentice?"

Di Qiye replied as a matter of course: "He used to be Gao Wang's apprentice, and now he is my apprentice, the right censor of Da Chu, and Jiang Yan's lover. The final outcome depends on his own choice."

"He chose to continue to recognize me as a master and you as a monarch. This is the best result. He chose to inherit Gao Wang's behest. We have to kill him. This is the worst result."

Gu Lie shook his head and smiled: "I can't tell you."

"I'm right, of course you can't say it," Di Qiye said shyly.

"Well," Gu Lie recalled Di Qiye's foolish warning beforehand, and echoed him with a smile, "You still hold grudges."

He was taken captive, and he lived in the barren mountains and valleys for ten years. He didn't remember this kind of hatred, but he had the nerve to say that he did.

Di Qiye wanted to pretend he didn't hear.

But he remembered one thing, so he couldn't help but said: "Speaking of holding grudges. Maybe you should spend more time with Gu Zhao?"

When Gu Zhao looked at the stage and Jiang Yang last night, Di Qiye happened to turn a corner and looked straight at him.

Gu Lie was surprised and asked, "What happened to Zhao'er?"

"He defends you too much. I'm worried that he has a grudge against Jiang Yang." Di Qiye said seriously, "It's not that Gu Zhao is wrong. After all, you are his only relative. It is human nature to care about you and want to protect you. But he is so keen, I am afraid that he is still afraid of losing, and he is uneasy."

Gu Lie nodded slightly, remembering it in his heart.

After a while, Gu Lie smiled again, squeezed Di Qiye's hand and said, "The only relative? Doesn't this have a loving mother?"

Di Qiye rolled his eyes and walked away.

Jiang Yan is more inclined to the safe plan and keep it as it is, because he is afraid of losing Mu Lian.And Mu Lian is more inclined to take a risky plan, to clean up the residual poison, because he is afraid of losing Jiang Yan.

In the end, Mu Lian's duties as the right censor were temporarily assumed by his subordinates, the left and right governors and deputy censors, and he was admitted to the imperial hospital, where Mr. Zhang combined medicinal baths and acupuncture to detoxify him.

To clear away the remaining poison, not only strong medicine must be given, but also fast, otherwise it will be even worse if it spreads.Mr. Zhang predicted that if everything went well, one month would be enough.

On the first day of treatment, he had to undergo bloodletting, and after a set of acupuncture and medicinal baths, Di Qiye didn't know if it was due to psychological factors, but he always felt that Mulian had lost a lot of weight.

After all, Jiang Yan was still the commander of Jinyi Guards, but he tried his best to come every day, and at night, Gu Lie kindly allowed him to stay in the palace and accompany Mu Lian to treat his illness.

Di Qiye also had time to spend time with his apprentice. Although Gu Lie had no objection to this, he was not too happy after all, and took the opportunity to leave a lot of teeth marks on him.

After half a month, the treatment went well, and Mu Lian's changes were visible to the naked eye.

He lost a lot of his bewildered and childish behavior, and became silent. He was more often thinking, rather than chattering and pulling Di Qiye to talk.

His attitude towards Jiang Yan and Di Qiye also changed.He no longer acted like a baby to them as a matter of course, and became quite polite, to the point that sometimes, he didn't seem to know how to face them.

Di Qiye didn't mind, he still went to see him at the Imperial Hospital every day.

Jiang Yan also fell silent with Mu Lian's silence.

The change of Mu Lian's attitude and personality reminded Jiang Yan of the men he met in his past life who took his sincerity as a joke.

One day, Di Qiye didn't know if he was dazzled or not. He seemed to see Jiang Yan walking out of the imperial hospital, pretending to have sore eyes, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes to cover up.

When Di Qiye returned to Weiyang Palace that day, he first kissed Gu Lie without saying anything.As if he understood everything, Gu Lie pulled Di Qiye into his arms and patted him like comforting a child.

No. Not long after the 20th, Jiang Yan gradually came later and later. Sometimes, it seemed that he deliberately waited until Mu Lian fell asleep before coming to see him.

"When he's not paying attention, he's always staring at the door."

Di Qiye wanted to say that he is waiting for you.

Jiang Yan put the homesick rose* picked from the back garden of Dingguo Hou's mansion into a porcelain vase, and smiled wryly: "But he doesn't want to see me anymore after seeing me."

Homesick rose is a two-color flower. The outermost two layers of petals are warm crimson, and the inner layers of petals are pure white, very beautiful. I heard that it was grafted by Jiang Yan himself. Di Qiye went back to see the flowers. A trip to Dingguohou's mansion.

Emotions are really complicated, and Di Qiye is no different.

What's more, Di Qiye himself and Mu Lian are just looking at each other in dismay, more precisely, they are almost looking at the sky and the ground, which is extremely embarrassing.

Di Qiye came here every day, just because he didn't want the little fool's apprentice to be sad, and didn't want the little fool to feel that no one came to see him.

Although, Di Qiye didn't know whether that little fool was still there.

When the one-month period expired, Di Qiye deliberately waited another day before going to the Imperial Hospital.

Coincidentally, in fact, Jiang Yan walked up and down the gate of the Tai Hospital yesterday, stepping in with one foot and retracting it, almost smoothing the threshold of the Tai Hospital, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital were all disturbed by him. He was distracted by the spectacle of the commander known as the smiling tiger, which made the adults timid and hesitant. In the end, Jiang Yan still didn't come in.

Di Qiye walked into the side room where Mu Lian lived. This place was originally used for piles of unsorted medical books from Tianxia Zangshuge. It was not too big. Because of the medicine bath, it was more haunting than other places in Taitai Hospital. Herbal smell.

The door suddenly closed behind Di Qiye.

Di Qiye raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around, and saw Mu Lian holding a simple knife that Zhang Lao usually used to cut large medicinal materials such as kudzu root.

Di Qiye remained expressionless.

Mu Lian approached step by step, and when he reached Di Qiye, he held up the saber in both hands, and knelt heavily.

"Mu Lian knows that he has sinned deeply, and he is not worthy to call you master. It was I who caused you to be trapped in Qingjian by Gao Wang for a full ten years."

"If you want to take Mu Lian's life away, Mu Lian will never complain."
