In the middle of the night, the crescent moon hangs high, and the Renshou Palace is silent.
"Jiaojiao-"
On the phoenix bed, Empress Dowager Zhuang woke up from a dream.
She opened her eyes and saw the familiar roof, she was in a trance for a moment.
"Queen Mother, what's the matter with you?" Eunuch Qin, who was on duty outside the door, heard the movement, and hurriedly pushed the door in and came to Queen Mother Zhuang's phoenix bed.
He lifted the curtain and hung it with hanging hooks.
This summer is not as sultry as in previous years, and there is an ice basin in the bedroom. Eunuch Qin only felt cool when he came in, but Empress Dowager Zhuang was sweating all over.
Empress Dowager Zhuang gasped in shock.
Eunuch Qin looked at her worriedly: "Queen Mother, have you had a nightmare again? Did you... dream of Miss Gu again? The servant just seemed to hear your name for Miss Gu."
Empress Dowager Zhuang lifted the thin silk quilt on her body, and Eunuch Qin knew that she was about to get out of bed, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her.
Empress Dowager Zhuang sat up with his hand. Eunuch Qin wanted to kneel and wait for her to put on her shoes. She waved her hand: "Okay."
No one serves her in Bishui Hutong, she still has to work, she is used to it.
Empress Dowager Zhuang walked to the window with her shoes on.
Eunuch Qin put down the curtain, walked over, pushed the Xuan window open, and lit a piece of incense that Gu Jiao had prepared before leaving.
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at the stars in the sky and the lonely crescent moon, and sighed in disappointment: "It's been so long, I don't know what's going on there? Did that child Gu Yan survive?"
Eunuch Qin said with a smile: "Young Master Gu, who is blessed with good luck, will surely turn a bad luck into a fortune, not to mention that Miss Gu and Master Xiao are by his side. Are you still worried about their ability as the Queen Mother?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes were far and wide: "The country of Yan is an unshakable mountain. In front of this mountain, one's ability is small and ridiculous. But even so, these two children will not give up, right?"
The queen mother... What are you talking about, why can't he hear it
Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly, "How ridiculous is it that a mayfly shakes a tree?"
The more Eunuch Qin listened, the more confused he became.
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked in the direction of Yan Guo: "Aijia has always dreamed of bad things these days."
Eunuch Qin asked respectfully, "What did you... dream about?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang said with lingering fear: "Aijia dreamed that Jiaojiao fell in a pool of blood, on the land of Yan country, and would never return to Aijia's side."
Eunuch Qin hurriedly said: "You are too worried about Miss Gu, and you have dreams every day and night! Besides, dreams are always the opposite. When you see blood in your dreams, you get riches outside your dreams!"
Empress Dowager Zhuang nodded thoughtfully: "It seems to have said so."
Qin Gonggong smiled: "How can a servant coax you?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang still stared into the distance: "Aijia remembered to tell you that before the age of sixteen, Aijia was the daughter of the Zhuang family, after the age of sixteen she was the queen of the Zhao Kingdom, and at the age of forty she became the regent of the Zhao Kingdom. In this life, I have been living for the banker, for the court, and for the Zhaoguo Jiangshan Sheji. When Aijia has reached this age, it has been a few years since he lived, and Aijia wants to live for himself."
Eunuch Qin was frightened by this, and hurriedly said: "Empress dowager, you are going to live a hundred years!"
Empress Dowager Zhuang said calmly: "Qiansui Aijia doesn't want it either, Aijia just wants Jiaojiao to return to Aijia."
…
Bishui Hutong.
After Lao Jijiu wrote the last memorial, he placed it on the table and pressed it with an inkstone.
He took a long breath: "Should it be gone? Everything that should be explained has been explained clearly... But even if it is not explained clearly, it doesn't seem to matter much. Originally, it was not necessary for me to be above the court."
He is good at officialdom thick black study.
When it comes to people and things, he alone is better than thousands of troops, but to help the emperor govern the country, he still needs a talent like Yuan Shoufu.
"If I am negligent, Lao Yuan will consider it for His Majesty, so I don't need to worry about it here."
As the old sacrifice wine said, he took out the baggage that had been packed away from the cabinet.
Finally, he picked up the document that took more than a month to forge successfully on the table, and said, "A-Heng, I'm here to find you for the master!"
He packed his bag and left the house.
Thunder roared in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain.
He had to hurry to the inn, where the carriages and horses were already ready.
He took off the latch and carefully opened the courtyard door.
A flash of lightning started, and the gloomy little figure of the old lady was shown at the door.
The old sacrifice wine was so frightened that he almost went to see the late emperor on the spot!
The old sacrificial wine grabbed his three souls and seven souls back into his body, and said furiously, "Zhuang Jinse! What are you doing!"
Zhuang Jinse said blankly, "I'm going too."
Lao Jijiu's eyes flashed, and he hid the burden behind his back: "Go, go... Where are you going? Where are you going? I can't understand what you are talking about in the middle of the night!"
Zhuang Jinse was carrying a bag in one hand, and raised the kitchen knife in the other hand, his eyes were full of murderousness: "Will you bring it? If you don't bring it, I will kill you."
Old sacrifice wine: "… "

Dayan, the National Teacher Hall.
The monarch was angry with the prince, and his headache became more and more severe. The master of the state teacher asked his disciples to fry him a bowl of decoction to soothe the nerves and relieve pain. After taking it, the monarch fell dizzy and fell asleep under the effect of the medicine.
Gu Chengfeng, who had washed away his disguise, paced and wandered in the corridor outside the secret room.
He didn't speak, but he was so nervous that he bit his fingers.
Xiao Heng stood quietly opposite the secret room. Everyone in the National Master Hall had already left, and even the two dead men who guarded the secret room stood outside the gate of the Qilin Hall.
Xiao Heng was calm on the surface, but he was also very worried about Gu Changqing's situation.
But the monarch came earlier than expected, and the rescue of Gu Changqing was carried out earlier, so there should be... there is hope for a cure, right
"My eldest brother will be fine, right?" Gu Chengfeng said.
This was the thirty-seventh time he asked.
Xiao Heng answered him patiently as he did thirty-six times before: "Trust your eldest brother, and also her."
Gu Chengfeng bit his finger and murmured: "Well, yes, that girl can't do anything else, her medical skills are good, she will definitely be able to cure my eldest brother, my eldest brother can survive... Yes... My eldest brother is not married yet... It can't be like that. died… "
Xiao Heng didn't bother him talking to himself.
He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.
The road they are going to walk is an extremely difficult and dangerous road, full of unknown dangers, and everyone has the possibility of sacrifice at any time.
They were already very weak, and Gu Changqing's accident undoubtedly made their already weak camp even worse.
He paid such a tragic price just for pulling the prince off his horse, and it can be foreseen how difficult the next road will be.
But even so, they still have to go on without hesitation.
After three full hours, Gu Jiao finally came out of the secret room.
The moment the iron door opened, Gu Chengfeng rushed in: "How is my eldest brother!"
Xiao Heng walked in immediately.
Gu Jiao took the small medicine box and closed the passage to another dimension. At first glance, the secret room returned to the empty space it used to be.
But Xiao Heng and Gu Chengfeng had both seen that operating room when they brought Gu Changqing in.
is real.
But it really disappeared.
This was the first time that they had truly felt the secret from Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao said: "He is in the intensive care unit and is not out of danger yet."
Strange to say, in the past, she could only see the operating room when she came in. There were several doors in the operating room. In the past, she could only open the door connecting the secret room.
Another door opened today, and behind it is an intensive care unit.
She guessed that with the recovery of her strength, the damaged brain waves were also repaired to a certain extent, which allowed her to have more connections with the small medicine box, which also opened up more dimensional space for the small medicine box. .
"My eldest brother will get better, right?" Gu Chengfeng had never looked at Gu Jiao with such a pleading look.
Gu Jiao said, "I will do my best to save him."
Even if there is a glimmer of hope, she will not give up.
Gu Changqing, don't give up yourself.
I don't want you to be the brick under my feet, I want to fight alongside you.
"How are you?" Xiao Heng asked Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao shook her head: "I'm fine, let's go out first."
"Yeah." This is not the place to talk, Xiao Heng took the sleeping Shangguan Yan out of the secret room.
Gu Jiao had to go back to the house and change her clothes before coming in.
Gu Chengfeng was the last one.
He looked at Gu Jiao's back, which was clearly slender and slender, but seemed to be full of endless power, and thought of the secrets he couldn't understand about her.
He opened his mouth and stopped her.
"Are you a god in the sky?"
Gu Jiao paused, turned her head halfway, and looked at the shadow on the ground: "It might just be a demon."
Gu Chengfeng was stunned.
This road is very dangerous, I will just walk on it alone, don't come over again, and don't make any more sacrifices.
"It's ok!"
Gu Chengfeng clenched his fists, looked at her back and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a ghost, a god or a devil..."
"Aren't you afraid?" Gu Jiao stopped and asked him.
Her ability and her knowledge are beyond the understanding of people in this time and space, and it is easy to be regarded as a monster.
Gu Chengfeng couldn't be cowardly in his heart, but he refused to admit it: "How could the demon be injured? It still sheds the same blood as us."
Gu Jiao: "Really?"
Gu Chengfeng coughed lightly: "Hey, eldest brother is injured, I will protect you from now on."
Gu Jiao continued to walk forward, tugging at the corners of her lips lightly: "Hit me first and then talk about it."
Gu Chengfeng's face darkened.
There is no double at the end of the month, the monthly pass does not need to be reserved, it can be cast now.
