"Your Majesty," Chief Su put the medicine aside, carefully raised the emperor's head, sat on the edge of the bed and let him lean on his body, and then took the medicine bowl to feed him.

Lord Yuanzheng personally stood by the medicine stove in the side hall, half an hour later the emperor had to take another medicine.

The emperor drank the medicine with his lips trembling, and Wan Peng beside him quickly handed over a box of candied fruit, and Director Su twisted one and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth.

The emperor's furrowed brows relaxed.

Director Su put down the medicine bowl, piled up the pillow and helped the emperor get up and lean on the pillow to talk.

The emperor had a stroke!

After he fell in the study, half of his body was numb when he woke up, his legs and feet were unsteady, and even his right hand was shaking constantly. Not to mention reviewing memorials, he couldn't even hold a chopstick steadily.

This is still timely treatment, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to speak.

Director Su immediately blocked the news with Wan Peng, but the imperial palace is like a sieve to some people, maybe they can hide the truth from all the officials, but they cannot hide it from those few.

So Manager Su, Wan Peng and Yuan are the ones who most hope that the emperor will recover as soon as possible, because their wealth and lives are all pinned on him.

Once an accident happened to the emperor, there would be chaos outside, but there was only one assassination incident in the capital.

The hostility is heavy, and it is easy to reproduce conflicts.

It's a pity that stroke is the most difficult to cure quickly. It can only be raised slowly. The hair of the confidants of the three emperors was almost turning white.

The emperor glanced at the two confidantes and saw that their temples were turning white, so he knew that he had frightened them this time, and he had frightened himself too.

"What's going on outside?"

"There are fewer reports on the impeachment of the four princes, and the court is much quieter now." Director Su covered the emperor's belly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Su Yuan is saying that His Majesty should not bother you..."

The emperor shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm thirsty, go and pour me a cup of tea."

Director Su knew that the emperor had something to discuss with Wan Peng alone, he sighed slightly, got up and stepped back.

After the palace door was slowly closed, the emperor looked at Wan Peng and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

When the emperor woke up after fainting, he gave orders to Wan Peng regardless of his illness.

Wan Peng bowed his head and said: "I have checked, and all the personal palace officials who accompanied Concubine Lan Gui to visit her relatives are gone. Five of them died of illness, three of them were punished by mistake and failed to survive, one died suddenly, and one of them died suddenly. Three of them were released from the palace when they reached their age, but I checked and found that they did not return to their hometown, after all, it happened sixteen years ago, and more things are needed to find out."

"Twelve people are all dead." The emperor gritted his teeth with more pain in his eyes, "Investigate, I want to see if she has anything to do with what happened back then, and whether she has any connection with the Tatars!"

"yes!"

"If you can't find out what happened back then, start with King Rong. If he did this assassination, he must have connections with those people." The emperor's face was as cold as frost.

Seeing that he called the fourth prince King Rong, Wan Peng was obviously furious. Wan Peng sighed in his heart, he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I want to meet Gu Shidao in the side hall of the East Palace."

The emperor frowned, and Wan Peng explained: "The people who assassinated him at the beginning were all dead soldiers. Although the imperial guards and the guards of the Prince's Mansion finally caught them, they only recruited Liang Feng, the official of the Prince's Mansion. No matter how they tortured them, they kept silent. I think they did it on purpose. Except for the imperial guards and the guards of the prince's mansion, Mrs. Gu was the one who fought with them the most. Moreover, I think that Mrs. Gu's martial arts methods come from the Central Plains decent school. I think Ask her what she thinks about those assassins' martial arts skills."

This is to determine whether they are people from the Central Plains or other ethnic groups.

The emperor nodded and agreed.

Wan Peng heaved a sigh of relief and stepped back slowly.

As soon as Wan Peng left, Director Su brought the emperor a bowl of water.

The emperor saw that the water didn't move, so Director Su fed him himself, "Your Majesty just took the medicine, so it might be counterproductive. It's better to drink water."

"Su Yuan is saying that I can drink tea for my illness."

"Then you can't drink the medicine before and after." Director Su insisted.

The emperor drank the water in the bowl helplessly, "What is Gu Jingyun doing?"

Manager Su showed a smile on his face, "Mr. Gu and his little wife are writing a book. I heard that they are going to write a miscellaneous diary, recording the scenery and customs they have seen and heard, as well as some strange stories."

The emperor snorted coldly, "All those who can write miscellaneous notes are old people who have visited famous mountains and rivers. They are just children with a yellow mouth. How many places have they traveled and how many things have they seen? They dare to talk about writing books."

Manager Su was silent.

The emperor laughed alone, and then said: "Go get some and let me have a look. If the writing is really unsightly, it would be better to burn it as soon as possible, so as not to stain people's eyes and ruin the reputation of the master."

Director Su smiled and told his disciples to get it.

When the little eunuch brought the things, Wan Peng had just registered and was put into the side hall. This was the difference between those who went through regular channels and those who went through the back door. His speed was several times faster than his.

Wan Peng didn't know that Director Su's apprentice had just left, so seeing Gu Jingyun's surprised face, he thought he was surprised that he came to visit them.

In fact, Gu Jingyun was surprised how many people gathered together today.

Wan Peng came here under the pretext of asking Li Baolu, so Li Baolu also appeared in the study.

The study room that the two of them had temporarily tidied up was a bit messy. Wan Peng stood in front of the desk and looked at the ink and messy papers on the table with complicated eyes. When I looked at my face, the hesitation in my heart disappeared.

He said: "Mrs. Gu, do you still remember the tricks those assassins used when Gu Shi talked about being assassinated that day?"

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu looked at the desk next to Wan Peng at the same time, because he was writing on it with his finger dipped in the tea.

Li Baolu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately replied, "I roughly remember it."

"Which number of kung fu do you think they use, is it south or north? What are the characteristics?"

Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun, saw him staring at the desk seriously, lowered his eyes and thought seriously, and said: "It's not Nan, my master said that Nan people's kung fu is not only passed down from Yue people, but also from Lingnan, all with a little lightness. The sense of spirit, and Yue Ren's martial arts are even more elegant and pleasing to the eye, those people are extremely stable, but lack of agility, although their kung fu is excellent, but they are far behind me in lightness kung fu."

The double-minded Wan Peng couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. Qiu Qianhu told him that Li Baolu's lightness kung fu was so outstanding that even the first-class guards in the palace couldn't match it. How could they catch up with such lightness kung fu?

"The characteristic is that I have never seen all the kung fu they use, and they don't belong to any school in the north and south."

Of course they don't belong to sects, they are dead warriors cultivated by human beings, how can dead warriors use the kung fu of Jianghu sects?

Wan Peng waited for the handwriting on the table to dry, and then said: "I understand, next time if you have any questions, come and ask Mrs. Gu."

Wan Peng was about to leave, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Mrs. Gu, if you fight against people from the same place again, might you recognize them?"

Li Baolu said affirmatively, "Yes!"

"Even if they don't learn the same number of martial arts?"

"Martial arts moves are changeable, and they will definitely affect each other in the same place. As long as I can fight against them, even if I can't find a flaw in the moves, I can feel reliable."

Wan Peng understood that warriors focus on feeling. When they practice martial arts, their five senses will increase, and the sixth sense will also be sharpened. For example, when they find danger, sometimes there is no evidence or abnormality, but when danger comes, the body will give them a warning.

People who have experienced more dangers or stronger martial arts are more sensitive.

Wan Peng nodded, and said pointedly: "In two months, the envoy sent by the Tatars to Beijing to renew the contract will arrive. At that time, the two countries will have exchanges, and I will mention to His Majesty that Mrs. Gu will attend. "

Li Baolu's eyes lit up, they had a chance to go out.

But Tatar, could it be that the assassin who assassinated Jing Yun was also related to Tatar? Aren't they sent by the Fourth Prince?

Li Baolu sent Wan Peng out, turned around and pulled Gu Jingyun back to the study, and said excitedly: "Do you think His Majesty will agree to Lord Wan? Can we really go out in two months?"

"Look at luck."

Neither of them said what Wanpeng wrote on the desk, but excitedly talked about the Tatar coming to Beijing two months later, as if they could really attend the banquet, defeat the Tatar envoy and be released Same.

It wasn't until the dead of night, when the two of them climbed into bed and snuggled together, that Li Baolu asked in a low voice, "What did Master Wan say?"

"Concubine Lan Gui may have a connection with Tatar. This assassination may be the cooperation between the fourth prince and Tatar. The emperor asked him to thoroughly investigate the matter of Concubine Lan Gui's family visit sixteen years ago. Baolu, if this is true, the fourth prince Then I lost completely. The prince's ascension to the throne is just around the corner."

"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? No wonder the emperor is so angry, he has suffered a stroke." The first sentence Wanpeng wrote on the table was that the emperor had suffered a stroke, his hands and feet were paralyzed, and his movements were inconvenient.

However, Gu Jingyun sneered and said: "Traitorship is not enough, it's just mutual benefit, but they shouldn't choose Tatar, if they choose other countries, the emperor's affection for Concubine Lan will be angry at most, and in the end, he may even replace him hidden."

"Why is Tatar different?"

Gu Jingyun's voice was low, but it was still clearly audible, "Because the Tatars had a deep blood feud with the Li family, both the father and son of the first emperor died at the hands of the Tatars."

Gu Jingyun’s great-grandfather, Qin Zhengze, was a patriarch of the three dynasties. The first dynasty was the grandfather of today. Qin Zhengze became an official at the age of nineteen. He was the accompanist of the prince at that time, who is the father of the current emperor. , The rate of 100,000 troops went south.

Da Chu has the legacy of a gentleman guarding the gate of the country, so when he lost ten cities in a row and morale was low, the emperor's grandfather handed over the state affairs to the crown prince, and brought a group of courtiers to march in person.

That battle was particularly tragic. The Great Chu was at ease for a long time, the generals were not fierce, and the soldiers were not skilled. The emperor spent three years at the border, but finally failed to resist the Tatars and died in battle.

At that time, the Great Chu State was on the verge of collapse, and the prince reluctantly ascended the throne. Whether it was the Great Chu or the Tatars, because of the serious internal conflicts in the war, and although the emperor who was the last stand of the Great Chu died, the Tatars paid a heavy price.

At that time, the new emperor reluctantly begged for peace, and the Tatars agreed, taking only two cities and retreating.
