Prince Guang’s residence is located in the west of the capital city and is a quiet place.
The sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard has already bloomed a lot. When I walked to the door of the house, I smelled a refreshing fragrance.
"Gu Shaofu, why are you here?" The palace steward saw Gu Qingtang stopping in front of the door and hurriedly greeted him.
Gu Qingtang smiled and nodded slightly, "I came here today because I was entrusted by someone to give this box of scriptures to the prince. Please pass it on for me." As he said that, Gu Qingtang motioned to the housekeeper to look behind her. I saw an old monk carrying a very heavy box and bowed respectfully to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper looked at Gu Qingtang with some embarrassment, "The prince is not in good health and he never sees outsiders."
"These scriptures have been enshrined in front of the Buddha for many years. The man said that as long as the prince sees these scriptures, he can sit up on his own." Gu Qingtang said in a serious manner, and bowed respectfully to the housekeeper, "Does the prince see me? , it’s the prince’s business, you only need to convey it to me once.”
"Oh, okay." The housekeeper sighed softly, turned around and walked back to the palace.
A moment later, the housekeeper appeared at the door with ten palace guards and said seriously: "Your Majesty invites you."
"Thank you." Gu Qingtang nodded and smiled, motioning for the old monk to follow her into the mansion.
Ten guards followed Gu Qingtang and his party almost step by step, for fear that she would suddenly pull some tricks. In this way, Gu Qingtang confirmed her suspicion. King Guang was such a cautious person, how could Taiwei Nian attack him?
King Guang was neatly dressed and was carried to the front hall by four concubines. He sat crookedly on the main seat and watched coolly as Gu Qingtang and the old monk stepped into the front hall. Even though he was paralyzed, he was still The sharpness of his eyes is still the same as before.
"You can go down." King Guang dismissed the guards and housekeepers first, leaving only the four concubines. Needless to say, those four concubines must also be people who are good at martial arts, otherwise King Guang would not Will do such risky things.
Before Gu Qingtang could speak, King Guang spoke first, "Gu Shaofu, shouldn't you be investigating the case carefully these three days? Why do you still have the leisure to deliver scriptures to me?"
Gu Qingtang smiled and said nothing, and gave the old monk behind him a wink.
The old monk suddenly knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed to the King of Light several times before saying, "I am sorry for you. Your Highness, please kill me!"
"This voice... you are..." King Light looked at the old monk in shock. He always felt that his features were indeed familiar. After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a person, "You are... Eunuch Chang!"
Eunuch Chang was the second prince's personal eunuch. After the second prince suddenly became paralyzed, he also disappeared in the palace.
The old monk nodded solemnly, knelt down and untied the big box on his back, and said regretfully: "I shouldn't have been greedy for wealth back then... I shouldn't have... shouldn't have helped... that person framed His Highness... and also harmed me. The nephew's family outside the slave palace..."
"What did you say?" King Guang felt a chill in his heart. If he hadn't been paralyzed, he might have thrown himself in front of the old monk, grabbed him and asked him what was going on.
Gu Qingtang Qingtang sighed and said: "After all, the prince is my master. There are some things that the master cannot keep in the dark and keep making wedding clothes for others. Prince, in fact, you suddenly became paralyzed back then because someone The drug is colorless and odorless. The patient will only feel cold at first. But once the fever persists for three days, it will poison the meridians of the human body and make it difficult to stand up again. "
King Guang's cheek twitched crazily, "I know that I was poisoned! If it wasn't from Nian Taiwei, who else would attack me?"
After asking this question, the scene in the palace that year came to King Guang's mind——
"Brother Emperor, when I was reading this book recently, some sentences were very confusing to me. Can you tell Chang'an about it?"
"Okay, someone just gave me a good tea for my brother. Come, let's talk while we have a cup of tea."
"Thank you very much, brother."
"Eunuch Chang, go make another pot."
"Yes."
……
"How could it be - him?!" King Guang asked with a bitter look. Over the years, he had speculated about the timing of Taiwei's attack, but he never expected that it would be the pot of tea that made him From then on, he was far away from the Dragon Throne, and could even never stand up again.
"Back then, the fourth prince promised me many promises, but my servant didn't expect that His Highness would be poisoned. He sent people to kill my nephew's family, and even wanted to assassinate me in the palace..."
"You deserve to die!" King Light shouted angrily, "You... I will punish this traitor immediately!"
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty!" Gu Qingtang quickly picked up the old monk and protected him behind him, "If Eunuch Chang dies, then the Prince will really not be able to get back everything he has lost."
King Guang Ding looked at Gu Qingtang for a long time, finally took a breath, and then said: "This king is a useless person now, he is already a nine-five-year-old man, how can I get back what I lost?" As he said, he He sighed even more regretfully, "I actually gave him all the chess pieces I had planned for many years, just to get revenge on Taiwei Nian, an enemy who was not an enemy! I have already handed over the details, and most of the chess pieces must have been played by him in the past two years. After seven days of soul-locking, I'm afraid those chess pieces won't listen to my orders." As he said that, King Guang looked at Gu Qingtang with complicated eyes, "I know that he has also locked the seven-day soul on you. ”
Gu Qingtang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled broadly, "Isn't there still four days before the attack occurs? These four days are enough for you to take action, my lord."
King Guang looked at Gu Qingtang quietly, wanting to hear what her plan was.
"The son of Taiwei Nian died on the street. Now Tingwei Li Kun has found out that it was most likely done by Meng Yu, the left general under Taiwei Nian. Naturally, His Majesty will take advantage of the situation and reduce his power. Your Majesty, if you were Taiwei Nian instead , how would you respond?"
"You come and take over the 50,000 men under Meng Yu's command."
"A person who has taken Seven Days Soul Locking Powder is the best chess piece, so this is also the result that His Majesty most wants to see." Gu Qingtang said, suddenly paused, and looked at the King of Light, "But, I don’t want to be a puppet controlled by drugs for the rest of my life.”
King Guang calmly looked Gu Qingtang up and down, pondered for a long time, and then said: "After all, fifty thousand troops are outside the capital..."
Gu Qingtang nodded and said: "Nian Taiwei has ten thousand horses in his hands!"
"Ha, so what? I don't want to be Lieutenant Nian's puppet!" King Guang suddenly sneered, "Gu Qingtang, you were taught by me, and I know all about your thoughts. Chu! Taiwei Nian needs a reason to dethrone the emperor. This old fox deliberately took in Eunuch Chang for so many years, but it was just a back-up he left for himself. If Yin Changan hadn't pushed him too hard this time, how could he have told the truth? Come out?"
Gu Qingtang seemed to have expected that he would say this, shaking his head and smiling, "Your Majesty, this Seven-Day Soul-Locking Powder was concocted by the house. Now that I have been poisoned, naturally I will never be able to live without the Seven-Day Soul-Locking Powder." , as long as your Majesty falls and you ascend the throne, the fifty thousand soldiers and horses in my hands will be yours, right?"
"Nian Taiwei lost his beloved son, and there is no successor in Taiwei's mansion. Nian Taiwei's hope will definitely be pinned on Nian Wanniang. If I propose to marry Nian Wanniang at this time, the prince will know Qingtang. Sooner or later, everything about Lieutenant Nian will fall into my hands." She said, looking at King Guang, "I will return everything to you at that time. I just ask you to give me an antidote and let me go away. Going to court and leaving the world, isn’t this a win-win situation? ”
King Guang thought carefully about the meaning of Gu Qingtang's words. Gu Qingtang was born as a girl. He had known about this for a long time, and he was the one who told Yin Chang'an.
A woman who has a large army and is married to another woman will not become a threat as long as she has no children.
The antidote for Seven Days Suohun Powder is his last trump card. He has never told Yin Changan that there is an antidote for Seven Days Suohun Powder, but Gu Qingtang sees everything clearly, naturally in order to survive Two words.
Isn't it the king's land in the world? If he can really ascend to the dragon throne, what if he lets Gu Qingtang leave temporarily? As long as he ambush and kill her on the way, he will not be able to make the world fear him.
He had a young prince before he was paralyzed. As long as he can get the throne and suffer for a few more years, he will be able to hand over a complete kingdom to the prince in the future.
What he cannot do, his children will do.
"Your Majesty, back then Yin Chang'an could attack you for the throne. But once Taiwei Nian is defeated by him in the future, I dare to ask Your Majesty, how long can this palace survive?"
Gu Qingtang suddenly hit the point where King Light was hurting, "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Although you are no longer a threat, your child will always grow up and will definitely become..."
"Stop talking!" King Guang suddenly interrupted Gu Qingtang, winked, and motioned to the four concubines beside him to push out first.
"I retire."
The King of Light nodded slightly, and watched the four concubines exit the front hall, and then there was a burst of screams.
"Your Majesty, they..." The smile on Gu Qingtang's face froze.
King Guang sneered and said: "They know too much, so naturally they can't survive. There may be Yin Changan's secret work in my palace, so I have to be careful."
"..."
"Eunuch Chang." King Guang suddenly called the old monk, "I will keep your dog's life for now, and I will settle the account with you later!"
"This slave's life should have been returned to the prince a long time ago. As long as I can avenge my nephew, you can take away this slave's life no matter what you want in the future!" The old monk knelt down to the King of Light again. Go down.
King Guang glanced at the old monk coldly, and then returned to Gu Qingtang's face, "Tell me, what is Taiwei Nian, that old fox, going to do?"
Gu Qingtang looked at the King of Light calmly, "Let's go with the flow, don't scare the snake for now." After saying that, she glanced at the old monk again, "When the time is right, Eunuch Chang will reveal the evil things he did back then. , Taiwei Nian will have a reason to send troops to depose the king."
"If I add another crime to him, Lieutenant Nian will surely hate him even more."
"What crime?"
"My poor imperial sister has been married to the Taiwei Mansion for so many years, but do you know why she has never been pregnant?"
"Qingtang doesn't know."
"In order to prevent the old fox Taiwei Nian from succeeding, the imperial sister should naturally be sacrificed. The cup of farewell wine that made it difficult for her to conceive was poured out to her by His Majesty himself."
"..."
Gu Qingtang's heart felt cold, and he was shivering with coldness. This royal family was so ruthless, but he didn't expect that so many innocent people would be put on this dragon chair.
"Master Gu seems to be a little concerned about this matter?"
"Qingtang doesn't dare."
"I dare not be the best." King Guang glanced at Gu Qingtang coldly, then moved to the old monk, "You know enough today, so don't even think about leaving my Prince Guang Mansion."
"I understand."
"Your Majesty, Qingtang has to go and settle Nian Huai'an's case, so he will leave first."
"Go ahead."
King Guang stared closely at Gu Qingtang's back as he walked away, and said to himself: "Fortunately, you are a woman. If you were a man, I'm afraid I can't keep you now. Such a smart chess piece really makes me Wang feels uneasy."
