HCB Chapter 21
Chapter 21
In the evening, Xia Zhi and his roommates were all asleep, and they sneaked out from the back door of the imperial dining room alone.
With a lot of food in his hand, he was ready to bribe the prince.
"Dong dong." There was a regular knock on the door.
With the sound of entering the room, Xia Zhi gently pushed open the door.
Xia Zhi didn't dare to take a look at the first person when he entered the door this time, and knelt down respectfully: "Your Majesty, my servant."
Shao Ze raised his eyebrows, he seemed to be more well-behaved than usual today?
Staring at Xia Zhi immobilely: "Get up. What did you bring here today?"
Xia Zhi put the food box on the table and took out 6 kinds of meat dishes from it.
Among them is a jug of sake that he bought from the imperial dining room for a huge sum of money.
It is said that this wine is the favorite wine of the emperor today.
Shao Ze glanced at this dinner, which was richer than the previous few times, and the emotion in his eyes was deeper:
"It's so rich today, Xia Zhi, you are getting better and better. Sometimes I envy you all."
Xia Zhi smiled wryly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, please stop laughing at your servant. This servant has something to ask His Highness today."
Shao Ze smiled knowingly, and said that there must be something, otherwise how could he be so rich.
Xia Zhi wept sobbing, tears streaming down his face: "Your Highness, please save Brother Gu, Brother Gu... Brother Gu is dying soon."
Shao Ze sat up straight, his eyes flashed with surprise: "What's wrong with him?"
Xia Zhi raised his hand and wiped his eyes fiercely: "I saw Brother Gu outside the imperial dining room this afternoon, and Brother Gu was covered in blood from the beating."
covered in blood?Could it be that he was punished?
But it shouldn't be, I heard that the queen dotes on him so much.
Shao Ze wasn't sure if Xia Zhi came to test him on purpose or if it was really like this:
"Then what's the use of you looking for me? I'm not an imperial doctor."
Xia Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the words of rejection in astonishment, his heart sank a bit:
"Your Highness, it was Princess Duanmin who took Gu Ge away. Your status is the same as that of a princess. No one can help Gu Ge except you."
Is that wayward princess again?Why is there so much going on in the queen's family?
Shao Ze waved his hand impatiently: "Understood, you should go back."
Holding on to the last ray of hope, Xia Zhi desperately kowtowed: "I beg you, please save Brother Gu."
Shao Ze looked at Xia Zhi with a calm face and kowtowed to the ground, his body remained as still as a mountain.
After a while, Xia Zhi lay motionless on the ground, tears streaming down drop by drop, and soon formed a small puddle.
Desperately said: "The servant knows. The servant will leave."
Shao Ze sat motionless on the chair and looked at the water stains on the ground.
Gu Yu has never harmed him now, if he doesn't save him, he will lose a lot of help.
What's more... He is indeed a person who often comes to care about himself.
"Come on."
A man in black quickly came down from the roof and saluted respectfully: "This subordinate has seen the master."
"Go and check the specific situation and see why you were beaten."
"Yes."
Shao Ze walked to the window and looked at the dark sky, feeling more and more empty inside.
People are dying in this palace every hour of every day.
According to normal times, he probably wouldn't save a servant. The only thing that is lacking in this palace is servants.
But ever since he comforted him for the loss of his mother that day, he felt that this person was different.
A quarter of an hour later, the dark guard came back to report.
An Yi rolled over from the window and walked in, calmly kneeling on one knee, and his tone was as calm as ever:
"Returning to the master, Gu Yu was indeed injured. I heard from the princess's servants that it was because of his betrayal."
betray? ?
Shao Ze twitched the corner of his mouth: "Which faction did you vote for again?"
The dark side glanced at Shao Ze's back with a strange expression, and faltered: "It's you."
Shao Ze nodded with a smile: "Oh, so it's me..."
Immediately raised his voice: "What did you say?"
An Yi looked at the master who turned around and stared at the big eyes, and nodded affirmatively.
"How could it be me. When did I promise him to be my man?"
I feel like this is a bit inaccurate...
What do you call your people?It sounds vague.
Shao Ze stared at An Yi, and his tone was as calm as possible: "So it's because of me?"
"Yes."
If that's the case...then I'd better go take a look?Otherwise, wouldn't he have wasted his efforts?
Shao Ze sneered: "Come on, let's go and see this bitter trick."
In a side hall in the Fifth North Institute, a young eunuch was taking care of the person who was writhing on the bed.
The little eunuch looked at the blood on the bed, and sighed faintly: "I didn't expect it to be so miserable."
With his right hand, he picked up the handkerchief that was wrapped around Gu Yu's head and put it in cold water to wet it.
After wringing out his hands vigorously, he lightly placed them on Gu Yu's head.
Although I don't understand how the princess brought back a blood man.
I don't understand how the always cruel princess would send someone to take care of this person, but after he came over, he still felt sympathetic.
"Hmm..." The little eunuch leaned forward suddenly, his pupils fell to the ground.
Shao Ze stepped over his body on the ground, stood beside the bed and looked at the people above.
His face was pale, the rope on his body was stuck in his flesh, and he was unconscious.
"How did it happen?"
This does not seem to be a bitter trick, who has a bitter trick so desperately.
Shao Ze raised his hand to touch Gu Yu's tightly held hands, and said in a deep voice, "An Yi, come and have a look."
"Yes." An Yi leaned out from behind.
The two fingers of his right hand rested firmly on Gu Yu's wrist.
A trace of sympathy flickered across An An's eyes, and his breathing fluttered a few times.
Standing up and bending over Shao Zeyi: "Master, Gu Yu is suffering from a drug attack."
drug? ?
Shao Ze's face turned cold: "What kind of medicine? Could it be that the empress has given some gut-piercing poison?"
Looking carefully at Gu Yu who is still struggling now, he shook his head: "That's not right, it's not like..."
An Yi quietly avoided Gu Yu's tragic situation, with a hint of complexity in his voice:
"Returning to the master, it is the royal secret medicine, which is used to control the first-class shadow guards and shadow guards."
After speaking, he quickly closed his eyes, and bent his waist down again.
After Shao Ze heard the name, he suddenly realized. He remembered the words he heard on the roof when he went to the wedding that day.
However, he really didn't expect the medicine to act like this.
"Will you die if you don't take the antidote?"
An Yi shook his head: "Master, this medicine is Gu Yu's first attack. This attack will last for four days. This is already the second day."
After a short pause, he said again: "During the onset of this medicine, the meridians all over my body convulsed, the blood flow speeded up, and the blood crazily flowed out of the body from the wound. Afterwards..."
"How will it be?"
An Yi held his right hand tightly, took a deep breath:
"After getting through it, the heart and lungs will also be affected, and the whole body is in pain. If you don't take the medicine in the future, you will die. The blood will run out and you will die."
Shao Ze pursed his lips, and stretched out his hand to move Gu Yu's messy hairstyle to the sides.
After pondering for two seconds: "Give him your antidote for this month."
An shook his hand, knelt down on the ground stiffly, took out a porcelain bottle, and poured out a pill with shaking hands.
Passed both hands in front of Shao Ze as smoothly as possible: "Master."
Shao Ze quickly picked up the black pill with his left hand.
The right hand quickly tapped Gu Yu's chest a few times.Only then did he take the cloth out of his mouth.
Holding his chin with two fingers, he forcefully threw the pill into Gu Yu's mouth.
He lifted Gu Yu's body and clapped his palms hard on the back.
Gu Yu moved his throat and swallowed the pill.
In less than half an hour, Gu Yu slowly opened his eyes, staring at the dark fabric on the top of the bed in a daze.
"Tong'er, can you block my pain nerve next time?"
[Host, our system does not provide these.We are an advanced system. ]
Gu Yu is now unable to complain: "...Then where is the senior?"
[Host, our system provides healing for your body, providing a variety of books and video teaching.Are these not enough? ]
Gu Yu twitched the corners of his lips weakly: "No matter what you offer, what about the time-bomb in my body?"
[Host, there will be an antidote to this by then. ]
Gu Yu's eyes brightened: "Where is it?"
[As long as you help Shao Ze ascend the throne, the emperor will know more. ]
Gu Yu vented all his strength, hehe sneered: "I'm lying to a ghost. Forget it, it's not like someone will save me, I'm content."
[Host, Shao Ze should trust you completely this time, right? ]
Gu Yu shook his head: "No."
[Then why would it save you? ]
Gu Yu smiled strangely at the corner of his mouth: "I just raised a pet with you."
"As long as pets are sick, as long as they are sympathetic humans, they will save them to show the good image of human beings."
Yes, Shao Ze is also like this.
I'm afraid Shao Ze has allowed him to approach at will, but it's just the kind of approach that teases cats and dogs, and he doesn't treat him as a person.
[Then, what does the host plan to do next? ]
Gu Yu laughed: "What can I do, I will continue to complete the task after I recover."
This time he was detoxified halfway, and he was even more sure of the cruel temperament of the Queen's family.
Such a person can only serve him according to his will, otherwise he will be doomed forever.
He observed all the princes he had seen so far. The eldest prince is lustful and cruel. He cannot guarantee what will happen if such a person rises to the top.
The second prince's impulsive temper might cause trouble.
I have never seen the third prince, but the book says that this is the prince with the highest intelligence.
The fifth prince looked quite quiet, a child alone...
From this point of view, Shao Ze and the third prince are the most suitable.
But Shao Ze grew up hard, presumably he will treat the people kindly after ascending to the throne.
As long as he protects Shao Ze properly, he will not commit suicide.
"Tong'er, what's the next plot?"
[Host, the next plot is more important, it is the empress dowager's birthday banquet. ]
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Birthday banquet, this is very good. It's time to let the legs go out to meet people. Otherwise, they will all be raised by a family."
Shao Hong in Prince Huan's mansion listened to his subordinate's report in surprise, his eyes widened:
"What did you say? The queen mother just let the princess carry Gu Yu away?"
"Yes."
Shao Hong's complexion became even paler, and he patted the table: "Nonsense. The medicine was bought secretly from the dark guard camp. Doesn't the emperor know everything about such a thing in the palace?"
The subordinates pursed their lips and dared not answer the words, no matter how they answered, they would die.
"Prepare the car, the king is going to enter the palace."
The subordinate quickly raised his head: "But my lord, the palace gate is locked now."
Shao Hong sat back on the chair dejectedly: "It's over, it's over, tomorrow I'm sure Father will settle accounts with me."
The queen mother made him miserable this time, and that ignorant younger sister.
Shao Hong thought of his sister who ruined his affairs, and cruelty flashed in his eyes. It's good that nothing happened this time, otherwise...
The author has something to say: Gu Yu: I still don't know who treats whom as a pet?eh, my leg?
Shao Ze sneered: If I knew it would make you hurt to death, forget it.
