Lord, your grass jelly has slipped away again [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 39

Gu Yan only felt that his eyes were bloodshot, and his brain was muddled, unable to think.

Not long after Ye Zi was taken away in the morning, Emperor Jinghe sent someone to bring Gu Yan into the palace, but Ye Zi who was originally summoned into the palace disappeared.Gu Yan immediately realized that things had changed, but Jing and Di never mentioned Ye Zi's whereabouts, and only made indirect remarks, threatened and lured them, and asked about the Northern Man.

Gu Yan struggled with that person for several hours before learning that Ye Zi was sent to Zongzheng Temple.

Zongzheng Temple, the institution responsible for interrogating the royal family, that... a place that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones.

On the way to Zongzheng Temple, the images that should have been dusty in his memory kept flashing through his mind.Those horrible, unbearable, and painful memories turned into pieces of broken glass and pierced into his brain fiercely, the sharp pain almost drove him crazy.

But he didn't dare to go crazy, he tried his best to maintain his sanity until he got through all the joints and saw that person.

Gu Yan's lowered eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were tightly clenched, as if the person beside him would disappear again if he let go.Ye Zi gasped in pain, and looked down, the veins on the back of the opponent's bloodless hand were bulging, leaving bright red marks on his wrist.

"My lord?" Ye Zi struggled a little, and called out tentatively, "Why do you..."

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly woke up, he pulled Ye Zi into his arms.Before Ye Zi had time to see Gu Yan's expression clearly, she bumped into Gu Yan's shoulder, causing her chin to hurt.

He was about to push Gu Yan away, but his movements stopped suddenly.

He felt that Gu Yan's body was trembling imperceptibly.

Ye Zi's heart twitched heavily.

The hand that he was about to reject went around behind Gu Yan, and stroked the other's back a few times.Ye Zi tried her best to keep her tone calm, and said in a low voice: "My lord, what's the matter, isn't it difficult for you? Or is there an accident with Jia Xiedan? I said that the northern barbarian is unreliable. He is still in the post. No, I'll teach him a lesson, you...don't ignore me."

Gu Yan's mind was buzzing constantly, his head was about to split, and he couldn't hear what Ye Zi was saying at all.He buried his head in Ye Zi's neck, and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry..."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, her heart felt sore and painful, "What are you talking about? Why are you sorry for me? It's not because of you that I came here, don't be like this..."

"...No, it's me, it's all my fault." Gu Yan closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice.

Gu Yan stroked Ye Zi's hair, hugged him even harder, and said in a trembling voice, "I was crazy to drag you in, how could I let you enter this kind of place again, I... ...how can I hurt you again..."

How could he push him into such a place again.

How could he...

Gu Yan seemed to be unconscious, and his words were incoherent, but Ye Zi heard something strange from his words.

What do you mean... harm again?

Ye Zi couldn't figure it out, and didn't have the time to think about it again, Gu Yan hugged his arms extremely hard, strangling him almost out of breath.Ye Zi couldn't bear it any longer, so she stretched out her hand and gently pushed him: "My lord, I'm going to be out of breath."

Gu Yan didn't move, but Ye Zi comforted him again: "Don't worry, look, they don't dare to do anything to me at all, am I fine?"

"...Okay?" Gu Yan repeated in a low voice, as if wanting to confirm, his palm slowly brushed across Ye Zi's back.Ye Zi didn't resist, and allowed Gu Yan to touch him all over with trembling hands, and finally, he held the wrist that was pinched with red marks.

There were a few bloodstains on the slender white wrist, which looked a little shocking.

Gu Yan stroked those red marks, kissed lightly on his wrist with trembling lips: "You're fine, you're fine...you're fine."

After a while, he opened his eyes, the blood in his eyes faded, and he had recovered his clarity.

Ye Zi observed his expression carefully, and was about to speak when Gu Yan suddenly raised his hand, frowned and asked, "What's going on? How dare they torture you?"

Before Ye Zi could reply, Gu Yan said angrily, "Tell me who did it, I'm going to skin him!"

Ye Zi: "..."

The surname is Gu, the first name is Yan, and the style name is Zicheng.

Ye Zi naturally didn't dare to say that, he pulled out his hand and said casually, "It's okay, I accidentally did it myself. You, you just..."

Gu Yan closed his eyes, raised his hand to press on the sore and stinging temple, and asked, "What happened just now?"

Ye Zi hesitated, but didn't ask.

He remembered that Gu Yan did lose his mind for a while in the book.During that time, Gu Yan's consciousness was seldom clear, and his temperament became more murderous and violent, and he didn't allow anyone to get close.

In the craziest time, he even rushed into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice with a sword in hand, killing anyone he saw, and was almost executed on the spot as a robbery.

Emperor Jinghe was terrified by his madness, he was afraid that one day this man would fall ill and rush into his imperial study with his sword raised.After careful consideration, he gave Gu Yan a fief and sent him to the fief to recuperate.

But that should be a long time later.

Ye Zi still remembered that during that time, when the man was sober, he did not remember what he did when he fell ill.

Ye Zi pulled off his sleeve to cover his wrist, and asked again: "How is the matter handled? Jia Xiedan's side...how could he be informed?"

"Who said he was informed?" Gu Yan said, "If I'm not wrong, he should have leaked the matter himself."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment: "This..."

Gu Yan explained: "Jia Xie has investigated the affair with Beiman alone for many years, and only found a few secret letters. He has only been in Chang'an for a few days, so it is impossible to find out the matter so quickly."

Ye Zi came back to his senses: "So...he deliberately leaked the matter, and wanted to use the hands of Emperor Jinghe to investigate for him?"

Gu Yan still had a headache, closed his eyes and said, "This time, he made a fool of me."

Jia Xiedan received a letter from Gu Yan and planned a marriage with him. The original purpose was to investigate who was having an affair with Beiman after coming to Chang'an.But after he arrived, he realized that it was almost impossible to investigate the truth of the matter by himself.

Therefore, he chose a simpler method.

He leaked the matter, and under the guise of Emperor Jinghe, investigated for him.

"That bastard!" Ye Zilu understood the key point, shaking his hands with anger, "You kindly help him, but he turns around to plot against you, he... I'll teach him a lesson."

"No need." Gu Yan said softly, "I will teach you a lesson myself."

Ye Zi looked at him suspiciously, Gu Yan explained: "Emperor Jinghe has entrusted me to handle this matter, and he promised to give me three days to find out who is having an affair with Beiman."

"...I issued a military order in front of him. If I still can't find out the truth after three days, I will let him take away my position as Prince Rui."

Ye Zi was startled: "It's only been three days? But what if..."

"No chance," Gu Yan interrupted him. "The longer the delay, the more time is given to the other party to transfer the evidence. Since Emperor Jinghe ordered the search of the posthouse, there is not much time left."

What else did Ye Zi want to say, Gu Yan said: "I know what you are worried about. It may be clueless for others to investigate this matter, but I am different."

Which people in Chang'an City had contact with the Northern Man, who had benefited from the Northern Man, and how many people passed through the leaked secrets. Emperor Jinghe had already investigated these things clearly for him in his previous life. up.

"Since there is no evidence, let's arrest them one by one and interrogate them one by one." Gu Yan laughed mockingly, "It's better to kill one thousand mistakes than to let one go. My uncle is the best at this."

His eyes turned to the outside of the carriage, the night outside was gloomy, like a piece of thick ink that couldn't be melted.

The carriage they were riding in slowly drove towards Prince Rui's Mansion. At the same time, under the cover of night, several teams of guards rushed into several official mansions in Chang'an City without a sound.

The carriage stopped in front of Prince Rui's Mansion, and Ye Zi helped Gu Yan back to the courtyard, where a man in black robes was waiting.

Seeing Gu Yan coming back, Si Wei immediately came forward to meet him.

Gu Yan asked: "Caught them all?"

"Yes." Si Wei replied, "There are still a few people who are not at home, and the humble official has sent people to track them down."

Gu Yan's face turned pale, and he ordered in a low voice: "Put them all in prison first, and I will personally go to the trial tomorrow."

"Yes." Si Wei replied, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Yan's complexion was unsightly, and he said worriedly, "You...are you having a headache again? I'll go fetch the medicine for you."

Gu Yan nodded and followed Ye Zi into the house.

Gu Yan still had a severe headache, Ye Zi helped him to lie down on the bed, and sat on the head of the bed to massage his temples.Ye Zi was thinking about something while pressing the button, Gu Yan opened his eyes to look at him, and smiled lightly: "Why does he look so worried again, I'll tell you everything, nothing will happen."

"I know." Ye Zi pressed slowly on the opponent's temple, worried, "But... the Beiman matter is a mess, why do you involve it, in case something goes wrong..."

Gu Yan didn't answer, Ye Zi stared at his bloodless lips for a while, and asked hesitantly, "Are you doing it for... me?"

Is it because... I don't want him to stay there, is it because I am worried that he will suffer in prison?

Gu Yan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Ye Zi's wrist.Ye Zi thought that he wanted to sit up, so she quickly leaned over to help him, but Gu Yan just raised his upper body, and gently touched Ye Zi's lips with his cold lips.

Gu Yan fell back on the bed and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Ye Zi froze in place.

Gu Yan really had a severe headache, before he could say anything, he closed his eyes again, and said vaguely: "I'll sleep for a while, and when Si Wei Duan medicine comes, you wake me up again."

Ye Zi said with a dazed expression, "Okay...Okay."

Gu Yan stopped talking and fell asleep after a while.

Ye Zi sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him blankly. After an unknown amount of time, there was a light knock on the door.Ye Zi opened the door, and Si Wei stood at the door holding a bowl of soup.

Ye Zi looked back at Gu Yan who was sleeping soundly, and asked in a low voice: "My lord has already fallen asleep, can't I drink again tomorrow?"

Si Wei shook his head: "If he doesn't take the medicine when he gets a headache, he will still have it tomorrow."

"He's always like this?" Ye Zi was startled, wondering, "Why didn't I know?"

He had stayed in the palace for ten years, and he never knew that Gu Yan still had such old problems as headaches.

Si Wei realized that he had said something wrong, so he immediately shut up.

Ye Zi narrowed his eyes: "Si Wei, what are you hiding from me?"

Si Wei dodged his eyes for a moment, and said in a weak voice, "My lord won't let the humble officials say..."

Ye Zi frowned, rolled his eyes, and said again: "Good Si Wei, there is nothing I can't say. If you don't say it now, don't I still have to ask the prince tomorrow? He is so kind to me, how could he not want to?" Tell me. You've told me now, so I won't bother him with these things, right?"

"It seems... that's the truth." The baby-faced young man thought for a moment, as if he was persuaded, "Then let me tell you, after you listen, you must wake up the prince and drink the medicine."

Ye Zi nodded again and again: "Yes, I promise."

Si Wei sighed, and said: "My lord, this is an old problem. When I get sick, I have a headache, have nightmares, I can't recognize people, my consciousness is not clear, and I always talk nonsense... Maybe it's because the princess is worried. The first time I fell ill, I went to stay in another village outside the city, and no one else in the palace knew about it except me."

"Doctor Pei has diagnosed and treated the prince. He said that the prince is suffering from depression and worry. He also said... the prince may have been stimulated by something, and he has been unable to get rid of it for many years. It has become a heart disease."

"Heart disease can only be healed by heart medicine, which can only be solved by himself."

"However, this was all in the early years. In the past year, the prince's mood has improved a lot, and he doesn't suffer from illnesses much. I still think that his heart knot has been solved in a humble position. I don't know what happened today..."

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, and said, "I see, you go down first."

After sending Si Wei away, Ye Zi entered the house with the medicine.

Depressed in the heart, worry becomes sick.

This person is just 23 years old, why is he so serious?

Could it be related to what he said when he fell ill?

Ye Zi had countless questions in his mind, but seeing Gu Yan's bloodless face, he couldn't ask any questions.Ye Zi put the medicine bowl on the bedside, and called softly, "My lord, it's time to drink the medicine."

Gu Yan just frowned and didn't wake up.

Ye Zi pushed his shoulder: "My lord? His Royal Highness King Rui? Gu Yan?"

Still no response.

Ye Zi glanced at Gu Yan's restless sleeping face, then looked at the medicine bowl by the bed, leaned down, and said softly, "Gu Zicheng, you didn't want to wake up, so don't say anything when you wake up. I took advantage of you."

Afterwards, he picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip, lowered his head, kissed the cold and pale lips, and passed a mouthful of soup over there.
