Upon hearing this, Gu Ning slowly let go of his hand.

She stood there, only one step away from walking outside the door.

The sunset is just right, falling on the peonies, and the layers of petals make them look even more delicate.

However, Gu Ning felt a chill spread from the soles of his feet, and there was something wrong with these flowers!

Chunyu is responsible for food, clothing and use in the whole room. They are not so brave that they poison it. Only those inconspicuous things that accompany her every day are the best places to poison it!

Gu Ning pinched her hands tightly, and before she knew it, her nails were deeply trapped in the palm of her hand.

"The county lord doesn't have to worry. The subordinates will bring people to solve these hidden dangers for you." Seeing that she frowned, Xie Yan subconsciously said the words in her heart.

However, after saying this, he regretted it.

He shouldn't have let Gu Ning have any expectations for him.

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. Perhaps he was immersed in panic, and Gu Ning was still staring out the window and never spoke.

After a while, she said frivolously: "If you suddenly clean up all these flowers, it will probably arouse Gu Zhiyuan's suspicion. Is there any way to find the antidote to this poison?"

She was not afraid of these poisons. With the system, it would cost her luck at most, and her body could recover quickly. The one who really needed the antidote was Pei Anyang.

Xie Yan lowered his eyes, but in a moment, he nodded slowly and took over the task: "I know a wandering doctor. He has always liked to take care of strange flowers and plants, and has great achievements in poisoning techniques. Maybe he can help.

The county lord found the antidote.”

Gu Ning just nodded, and the next moment he remembered a very small plot in the original book.

For a moment, her eyes became complicated when she looked at Xie Yan.

The original work mentioned that Xie Yan died of an emergency illness, which was very likely to be poisoned. For Xie Yan, the person who could poison him with such scheming must be the one he trusted the most.

And just so happens that Xie Yan has such a miracle doctor who is good at poisoning...

Gu Ning's eyes rolled, and when he was about to respond, he turned into: "Visiting Doctor?"

"Even the imperial physicians in the palace can't detect the poison. Can a mere wandering doctor really develop an antidote?" Gu Ning frowned and looked arrogant, "Of course, since it was recommended by you, I might as well give it to him.

Opportunity, you can bring him here first and let me meet you."

Seeing Gu Ning's sudden change in attitude, Xie Yan's eyes sank.

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and his tone was cold: "Since the county lord doesn't trust his subordinates, he will not mention this matter again."

The peonies outside the window sway in the wind and appear more and more weird in the sun.

Xie Yan turned around and left at this time, but his sleeve was tightly pinched.

"No!" Gu Ning said in a low voice and firm manner, "I want to see him!"

Before Xie Yan could speak, she added anxiously: "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just a traveling doctor. Why is it worthy of your trust?"

"I want to see him, not only to test his level, but also to check for you. What if you ask for something wrong?" Gu Ning Zhenzhen said, "If you don't bring him, then you

Don't think about leaving!"

Xie Yan snorted coldly, pulled out her sleeve, and strode away.

This is in Gu's mansion. Gu Ning didn't dare to shout at him loudly, so he could only see him leave with anger.

Chunyu moved to her side with small steps: "County Lord, how to deal with these flowers?"

Gu Ning glanced at the flowers coldly and said meaningfully: "These flowers bloom just in a good way and are rare treasures. Just send a few to my grandmother's place."

"Oh by the way!" Gu Ning added, "And Gu Qingqiu, I'll say that I'll congratulate her on her soon-to-be engagement!"

Chunyu nodded repeatedly: "In this way, the person behind the scenes will definitely be drawn out."

Gu Ning leaned lazily against the door frame and smiled: "Of course, one is his old mother and the other is his favorite daughter. Once these peonies are sent over, it will cost him half of his life!

"Remember, do this quietly in advance, and it's best not to let him know." Gu Ning said quietly, "This poison hurts his body, he will definitely find ways to get an antidote."

"Yes!" Chunyu responded repeatedly.

Outside the Tai Chi Hall, the palace ladies stood on both sides in an orderly manner, all bowing their heads without saying a word.

In the hall, a louder and louder word came out.

"Is this what you did in Jiangnan?"

Several thick memorials were thrown to Chu Yunyi's feet with a "bang" sound and scattered all over the ground.

Chu Yunyi just glanced at the impeachment and scolding above.

He had a cold face and was very unhappy: "What do these censors know?"

"Then I want to ask you why these words were heard by the Censor!" The emperor's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he slapped the table with a palm, "The Jiang family is closely related to you,

Since you know what Jiang Zhizhou did, you should control those remarks in Jiangnan early, rather than letting these victims go to Beijing!”

"Then they almost broke the Dengwen drum!"

The emperor looked at Chu Yunyi with a grudge. Once upon a time, he felt that this son looked like him the most, but now he saw that he was far from dealing with these matters!

Chu Yunyi also had resentment in his heart. He didn't want to control these rumors. However, the situation in Jiangnan was chaotic, and a Jiang Zhizhou fell down and a Yuan family fell down. All the aristocratic families had selfish intentions. If he hadn't come forward to comfort him in time, he would have been waiting for him today.

I’m afraid these memorials are not as simple as these memorials!

Facing the emperor's anger, he closed his eyes and whispered: "Father, my son knows that he is wrong!"

"What do you know?" the emperor sneered, "Before leaving, I have repeatedly reminded you, but not only did you not do these things well, but instead made wedding dresses for others! Fortunately, the Pei family was thinking about giving them to Gu.

I would rather build momentum, otherwise these good reputations would be taken away by the Pei family!"

When Chu Yunyi heard this, he secretly squeezed his hands tightly.

He also knew that, but two fists were hard to match four hands, Gu Ning suddenly seemed to have changed his nature. He thought about washing away his previous bad reputation all day long, but he actually disrupted his original plan.

And he not only had to swallow the bitter fruit, but also had to treat Gu Ning very well on the surface.

Thinking of this, he looked extremely ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

The emperor caught a glimpse of his appearance and slapped the table hard: "Third brother, I heard that you have a conflict with Gu Ning?"

"Son-in-law..."

"Gu Ning is the princess I have chosen for you. Her family background is prominent. Once you marry her, the army in the hands of the eldest princess may fall into your hands. You understand my good intentions

?” the emperor said meaningfully, “her temper may not be the best, but her family background is enough to make up for all this.”

"Some women are gentle and small, but how can those who accomplish great things indulge in love?" The emperor secretly warned him, "A woman, just coax her more."

Chu Yunyi felt aggrieved, but he had to nod and respond.

Even if the emperor doesn't say it, he will lower his posture to treat Gu Ning.

In any case, we must first get the army in the hands of the eldest princess.

Seeing his expression change, the emperor knew that his words had worked.

"Okay, since you have understood the key points, then go to my private warehouse to select some items that women like and send them to Gu's house in person."

"Thank you, Father."

Chu Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he is the person his father loves the most.

After leaving Tai Chi Hall, Chu Yunyi saw someone dismounting in a panic expression.

Seeing this scene, Chu Yunyi's expression trembled.

No one in the palace dares to ride a horse. Once someone rides a horse into the palace, it means... something big happened!

He couldn't help but stand still, and saw the man take out a blood letter and walk towards the Tai Chi Hall with a hoarse voice.

"Border is in urgent need!"

The thought that emerged in Chu Yunyi's mind just now was all disrupted by this news.

He raised his feet and walked in the opposite direction of the private warehouse.

...

"Empress, Your Highness is here to see you!"

With the sound of the palace maid, the queen immediately put down the teacup in her hand.

She quickly got up and walked out of the hall in person.

After seeing Chu Yunyi's tall figure, the queen's eyes were slightly wet: "Yun Yi, what grievances have you suffered during this trip to Jiangnan? Is the eldest princess embarrassed you?"

"Don't worry, my son is fine." Chu Yunyi shook his head and comforted him, "The eldest princess takes great care of her son on the surface and does not make things difficult for her son."

When the queen heard this, she snorted coldly: "She is the best person to disguise. For the glory of the entire Pei family, she will naturally please you!"

However, Chu Yunyi squeezed her hands tightly at this time and stopped her from saying: "Mother, at least in these years, the eldest princess is still the elder that the father respects the most."

"I understand." The queen waved his hand away in anger.

"The second wife of the Jiang family is really useless. Not only did they not cover up their own affairs, they almost harmed you!" The queen gritted her teeth, "No matter how the Jiang family begged you, you can't agree! Do you understand?"

Chu Yunyi frowned, and he was also very disgusted with what Jiang Zhizhou did: "My son understands that it is just because of him, the Jiang family and your reputation have been damaged. If it is not remedy in time, it will be affected.

big."

The queen waved her hand and didn't care about it: "Nothing these things matters, the most important thing now is your marriage with Gu Ning."

Chu Yunyi's face turned ashen in this moment.

Seeing this, the queen said unhappy: "What? Do you still want to marry Gu Qingqiu? Don't blame the queen for not reminding you that even if she was a concubine for you, the queen would not agree!"

"Mother!" Chu Yunyi's handsome face was covered in gloom.

However, under the gaze of the queen, he calmed down several times and changed the subject: "Just just reported urgently in the army, saying that the border was in urgent need."

When talking about this, he unconsciously squeezed his hands: "Mother, this is a great opportunity for his son to make achievements!"

"No!" The queen almost completely rejected his request without thinking.

Seeing Chu Yunyi's face full of reluctance, she slowed down her voice: "Yunyi, you are the legitimate son, and your future position as the prince must belong to you! Why do you have to fight on the battlefield for that little fame?"
