Rely on face to eat [Quick Transmigration]

Special episode (twelve)

On the outskirts of Beijing, a farm family.

All the scenes in the simple house can be seen at a glance, and the continuous rain makes the inside of this small earthen house extraordinarily damp and gloomy.

Fugui carefully laid thick cotton wool on the kang, and then spread two or three layers of soft satin. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to bring the ferrets brought out of the palace.

Shen Mian thought he had too many things to do, so she sat down on the rough wooden chair beside her, fiddled with the red-hot charcoal twice with a wooden stick, and there was a "hissing—" sound.

The light of the fire flickered slightly, reflecting on his fair cheeks, which was elegant and beautiful that was incompatible with the simple furnishings around him.

He closed his eyes slightly, and the reflection of his eyelashes outlined a trace of gloom, which was well concealed by him, and he looked back and said: "Let's rest for the night, and we will discuss the matter of entering the city tomorrow. You should also go to rest."

The tall figure standing in the shadow remained silent.

Shen Mian chuckled, raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you doing so awkward? Even if you are a strong man, you can drive day and night, and the horses need to rest. What's more, today's injury is heavy, and the people below have to bandage their wounds. The more urgent it is to recover your physical strength, the more urgent it is."

"Your Highness."

Gu Yanzhi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes concealed sharpness, but his voice sounded as gentle as ever, he was still the warm and jade-like number one scholar in Shangjing.

"I think it's better for His Highness to make a decision as soon as possible."

Make a decision early?Does it mean to make him completely tear up his face with Prince Jing's Mansion and Lu Chen?

Shen Mian pretended not to understand, and asked instead: "Do you think you're shrinking back?"

Gu Yanzhi said: "Your Highness naturally won't back down, because His Highness has no way out right now. It's just that His Highness is always soft-hearted, especially, much softer than Shi Ziye."

Shen Mian frowned, and said: "Although Lu Chen has a cold temper, he is upright. Besides, everyone in the civil and military courts knows that he has always been at odds with his father, so I don't think he will participate in this matter."

Gu Yanzhi said: "His Royal Highness really believes that His Highness is ignorant of Prince Jing's plot? Even if Gu can guess seven or eight points, His Highness is the only son of His Highness, how could he not know? He knows His Highness is in danger, but he only cares about eliminating it." Dissidents, forming a lot of cliques, not caring about His Highness's safety at all, there is no guarantee that they are not just trying to reap the benefits..."

"Enough, Lu Chen is not such a sinister person, he must have other plans."

Gu Yanzhi said: "If His Highness can convince Gu, can he convince himself?"

"..."

"At the Danqing Banquet that day, Your Highness, ten people including Shi Ziye, all painted a painting with the theme of prosperity. Your Highness is extremely intelligent, and I think I have already seen his ambition from Shi Ziye's painting "Iron Riding on Rivers and Mountains"."

Shen Mian said: "It's good that he is ambitious, but his sword has never been raised against Gu. Rather than trusting these unnecessary suspicions, Gu believes in his own eyes."

"So, Your Highness should stand still at such a critical moment, and see where the sharp blade in the hand of the son will go?"

Shen Mian said: "Just wait for one night, if he doesn't come..."

Gu Yanzhi said: "If he doesn't come, what will His Highness do?"

"Then Gu believes that he has already betrayed Gu's trust, so naturally there is no kindness to speak of, and he doesn't have to worry about the past affection when he acts in the future. Wouldn't it be cleaner and neater?"

Gu Yanzhi was silent for a long time, before he finally let out a chuckle, and said: "I only hope that His Highness's affection is not wrong to others."

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Mian to speak, she turned and left.

When the people walked away, Fu Gui wiped off his cold sweat, leaned over to his master and whispered: "Master, I don't know if the slave misunderstood, Mr. Gu just now, is not like the usual Mr. Gu."

"Ok?"

Fu Gui said cautiously: "Some...some scary."

Shen Mian curled her lower lip, and said: "He has always been proud of himself, so naturally he doesn't like to lose to others, and when he gets angry for a while, he can't pretend to be that gentle and harmless appearance."

Fugui stared wide-eyed and asked, "Loser? Who will Mr. Gu lose to?"

Shen Mian shook her head and chuckled, "You, you can't think of such a complicated problem, go and give Gu Wen a pot of wine."

"Yes, master."

In the grove not far from the farmhouse.

"Young master, the wound..."

Hearing an exclamation from behind, Gu Yanzhi managed to recover, raised his hand, only to realize that his fist was clenched too tightly, and the knife wound on the back of his hand had been torn open. He watched coldly the warm blood drenched The gauze was dyed blood red, and her eyes became colder and colder.

"Lu Chen, Lu Chen..." He clenched his fist suddenly and slammed it hard on the tree in front of him. With a "bang", the tree body broke and fell to the ground.

It took a lot of trouble and scheming, but he barely managed to get Chengxin's slightest favor, and he couldn't match his trust in Lu Chen.

He took the gauze from behind him, wrapped it casually around the wound, looked at the shadow guard behind him, and said, "What's the matter, tell me."

"Young master, Prince Jing brought people out of the city overnight. It seems that he came in a hurry, and there is only a team of iron cavalry."

Gu Yanzhi let out a low laugh, and said, "How could Lu Chen and other cities only bring a team of iron cavalry?"

"That……"

"Take him away, and we can't let him meet Chengxin before dawn."

He raised his hand, and those people quickly disappeared into the night.

The grove after the rain exuded a light grassy smell, which was somewhat similar to the smell of the boy, and his restless mood gradually subsided.

After a few breaths of silence, he returned to his usual gentle scholarly appearance.

Back at the farmhouse, the old farmer and his wife were cooking with great care.

He was tall and tall, and he sat down casually beside the firewood. Under the light of the fire, his stalwart figure showed a very stalwart shadow.

"Gentlemen, you don't have to be afraid. We only borrow one night, and no one will be killed. We will double the compensation for how much food we eat and how much firewood we use, as long as you don't cause trouble."

The old woman hurriedly said: "We know, thank you, Mr. Jun..."

Gu Yanzhi looked around, the color of his eyes changed slightly, and he said warmly: "I remember that you two elders have a grandson who looks like thirteen or fourteen years old. He is called Xiao Zhuzi, why isn't he here?"

The old farmer was about to speak, but the old woman glared at him and closed his mouth again.

The old woman laughed and said, "Master Jun, he went to the backyard to boil the bath water..."

Gu Yanzhi was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I'll ask again." He raised his hand, the blood from the knife wound had not yet solidified, and he looked horrifying, "I don't like to scare people, but I don't like to be deceived even more, so, You two better tell the truth."

The old couple looked at each other tremblingly. After a while, the old farmer trembled and said, "I was called away by that little brother with a white face and a squeaky voice, saying that his master has some rough work to order, and we are not allowed to speak out."

Among the entourage this time, there was only Fugui's father-in-law, and his master was naturally only the Prince of the Eastern Palace.

Gu Yanzhi was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly and asked, "How long has he been away?"

"Yes, it's been a while, and it's time for a stick of incense, Mr. Jun... We are all responsible people, and we all obey orders. Little Zhuzi won't be in danger, right?"

Gu Yanzhi snorted, and smiled lightly, "I thought he had at least a sliver of trust in me, but it turned out that this sliver of trust was also a lie to me."

Shen Mian took a sip of the wine, and said "tsk", "It's a pity, if only the old emperor lasted a few more days, after the first snow, he would be able to drink the good wine buried in the ground, it's better now, I can only get the cheaper one A strange monk who doesn't understand style."

Suddenly the door was pushed open, Shen Mian looked up, bent her lips into a smile, and said, "Yanzhi, stay up so late, do you want to drink with Gu?"

Gu Yanzhi couldn't laugh, it was the first time he called himself "Yanzhi", but that smile clearly meant to be mocking.

"Your Highness agreed with Gu's proposal and agreed to return to Beijing, did you make up your mind?"

Shen Mian blinked, and said, "What's Gu's plan? Gu really doesn't understand Yanzhi's words."

Gu Yanzhi stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, "You use me to escort you out of the West Temple, to keep you safe, so that you and Lu Chong can meet again, right? That kid named Xiao Zhuzi, you ask him to report to Lu Chenfeng Already? You never believed me from beginning to end!"

Shen Mian coughed twice, he hadn't healed from the cold, and he hadn't rested from the exhaustion, so his complexion was extremely pale.

But apart from these reasons, there is also the reason why the body couldn't bear the strong mental power and began to collapse.

Seeing this, Fugui hurried forward, but Shen Mian raised her hand to stop her, "Go out."

Seeing him not moving, he emphasized his tone again, and said in a deep voice, "Get out!"

Fugui withdrew reluctantly with red eyes.

Shen Mian looked at Gu Yanzhi, he knew that this person would not hurt him, but he would inevitably vent his anger on the people around him, so he drove Fugui out.

"Why does Gu believe you?" He asked back.

Gu Yanzhi's face became darker.

Shen Mian said: "Gu trusts Lu Chen because Gu knows his past, and because of his mother, he has no father-son affection for Prince Jing. Compared to Gu, he hates Prince Jing even more. Living alone is of use to him. It is more useful than a dead one, but you, you are different, Gu Yanzhi, I don’t know anything about you, you are courteous for no reason, Gu is really disturbed.”

Gu Yanzhi said: "You don't know why I am so courteous?"

Shen Mian said, "I don't know."

Gu Yanzhi said: "Then do you know what dirty thoughts Lu Chen has for you?"

"..."

Gu Yanzhi said: "Even if you are a very smart rabbit, but there are only two roads to go, the tiger's mouth and the wolf's den, what can you do? Born in the royal family, as a prince, and born so beautiful, Shen Chengxin, What's the difference between staying by my side and fleeing to Lu Chen's arms like this?"

He held Shen Mian's hand tightly, and gently kissed his white fingertips.

"Besides, are you a brother?"

Shen Mian raised her eyes suddenly, "You!..."

Gu Yanzhi knew the original owner's life experience, so the revelation of this secret in the previous life led to Shen Chengxin's tragic death, could it be...

"As the Gu family, why did I become an official and why I interfered in the government? Don't you want to know the reason? Let me tell you. The ancestors of the Gu family have a close relationship with the Dajin royal family. The ancestors swore that their descendants would always be loyal to the Dajin. The ancestors of the Gu family There are many precepts, but this one is the only one that must not be violated. But two years ago, an old woman who came out of the palace returned to her hometown in the south of the Yangtze River to retire. Before she died, she called my father and said an amazing thing. A secret, this secret is enough to shake the foundation of the Great Jin Kingdom, and it must not be allowed to exist."

Shen Mian said: "She is talking nonsense!"

"If she is talking nonsense, why is Your Highness so panicked? Your Highness always laughs at any changes, but after hearing those two words, he completely lost his mind."

He looked down at the young man's face losing color inch by inch, his exquisite face was so pale that it seemed transparent, his heart suddenly felt a pain, and he reached out to touch his cheek, but before he touched it, the young man raised his hand and waved it away.

"Hugh is rude." Shen Mian said in a deep voice.

Gu Yanzhi glanced at the numb fingertips, and asked calmly: "If the world knows that His Highness is a brother, can His Highness still maintain the pride at this time?"

"Are you threatening Gu?"

Gu Yanzhi's Adam's apple moved slightly, holding the boy's cheeks, and his voice was extremely gentle: "It's not a threat, I'm just discussing with His Highness, as long as His Highness is willing to stay by my side, this secret will always be a secret. Now, I have enough strength to protect it." Your Highness."

"No matter how big the Gu family is, how can they compete with the thousands of troops in Lu Chen's hands."

Gu Yanzhi said: "The ancestors of the Gu family were the most trusted confidantes of the emperor who opened the dynasty. Back then, they lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River. On the surface, they were engaged in learning, teaching and educating people, and secretly cultivating power. Originally, this power was controlled by the emperor alone. When the emperor came to the throne, the method of seizing the throne was probably not clean, and he did not get the inheritance order. Now this power is in the hands of the Gu family. The members of the Gu family have no desire for fame and fortune, and have never thought of using it. They only use it conscientiously to maintain the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty. I'm different, I'm not born like the Gu family, those ancestors' legacy, I obey what suits my heart, what doesn't suit me, so what if I disobey it."

Shen Mian sneered and said, "So, you have to take that force as your own."

"In the beginning, I just obeyed my father's orders to enter Beijing and become an official. When the time came, I would reveal the identity of the prince, suppress the rebellion in Beijing, and choose a suitable assistant from other princes to be the next emperor. I had no ambitions. Of course, There is no loyalty to the royal family at all, doing these things is just to find some fun in the boring days. But..."

Shen Mian chuckled, and said, "But you're obsessed with sex."

"That's right." Gu Yanzhi said: "I did make you lose your mind, whether it's a rebellion or a shake of the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty, what have I to do with it? For you, Gu Yanzhi is willing to be a sinner through the ages."

Shen Mian laughed and said, "This is really sweet, even Gu couldn't help but be moved."

Gu Yanzhi knew that he was always cunning, and he could only listen to him if he showed weakness.

Shen Mian gently pushed his hand away, and said: "However, no matter how sweet the words are, and no matter how gentle Mr. Gu is, threats are still threats after all. If you compromise now, you will compromise twice or three times in the future. Unfortunately, Gu is a Ning Temper for broken jade."

Gu Yanzhi smiled helplessly, how could he not know his temper, if the matter hadn't developed to this point, he would never have made such a bad plan.

"You said that Lu Chen acts upright. If he were to change places, he might not be able to do better than me."

Shen Mian drank the completely cold glass of wine on the table in one gulp. The cold liquid entered his throat, and it was very spicy. He coughed hard again, "Perhaps you are right. As you said, if there were wolves before There is a tiger in the back, Gu can only choose that one, and there is no one showing its fangs and claws for the time being."

Gu Yanzhi frowned, snatched the wine glass from his hand, and said, "Your Highness hasn't recovered from typhoid fever, but he doesn't care about his body at all."

Shen Mian pulled her lower lip, and said, "What is there to cherish?" He snatched the white porcelain cup from Gu Yanzhi's hand, and poured another cup, "Who knows how long I can live, it's time to enjoy myself."

After all, he drank it all in one gulp.

Gu Yanzhi grabbed his waist violently, took his wine-stained lips in his mouth, and grabbed all the remaining wine in his mouth.

His breathing was heavy and rapid, his arms tightly wrapped around Shen Mian's slender waist, "Your Highness, since Your Highness doesn't want to cherish yourself, why don't you give it to me?"

Shen Mian raised the back of her hand and wiped her lower lip casually, her lips became more and more beautiful, she raised her eyebrows and said with a light smile, "Now? That kid named Xiao Zhuzi has been hunting with his parents since he was a child. Bloody BMW, counting the time, Lu Chen should be here too." His eyes slid down, his smile was bewildering and hated, "Could it be...is Mr. Gu so fast?"
