Chu Younan had to take care of this matter, so he called the coachman.

The driver had never been so close to the emperor before, and he became even more panicked and stammered, "Your Majesty, dang dang dang...at that time..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Younan had already read his thoughts.

"Okay!" Chu Younan waved his hand.

Qin Meizhi gave the coachman a gold ingot and asked him to drive the coach into the moat, which was obviously asking for death.

Chu Younan didn't know about the fake death drug. After all, he was an ancient man, and Su Bei was not sure if he could help his father's concubine find happiness.

So Chu Younan was a little embarrassed at this time. It was a difficult question whether Qin Meizhi was seeking death and hired an assassin, or was really abducted by the assassin.

But Su Bei knew Qin Meizhi's plan, so she hurriedly said, "Send someone to look for her quickly! Or bring Gu Rui back and see if Concubine Mei left any blood. Didn't they say she was shot by an arrow?"

Chu Younan was no longer confused.

No matter what Qin Meizhi thought, he had to find the person first.

If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body! Fortunately, a blood-stained handkerchief fell on the carriage. Fortunately, Gu Rui was working hard to farm in Ping'an County. Everything went smoothly. Gu Rui was about to perform the blood-seeking technique.

At this moment, a small knife suddenly stabbed into the pillar outside the imperial study, with a letter in it.

"If you want to save the Concubine, Prince Jin will come in exchange."

There are eight big words written on it.

It’s just that the assassin seemed a little stupid and forgot to write the address.

The address was not difficult. With Gu Rui and blood, they found the cave where Concubine Mei was in no time.

When the assassin saw that the person coming was not only Prince Jin but also the emperor, he was immediately delighted.

They were originally going to assassinate Chu Younan, but they failed. For the sake of money, they had to find another way even if they failed! So they wanted to save the country in a roundabout way.

First kidnap someone related to Chu Younan, and then let him come in for the exchange.

But recently the queen had not left the palace, the empress dowager had not left the palace, and the princes and princesses had not left the palace either, and they just happened to run into Qin Meizhi.

Using Qin Meizhi to exchange for Chu Youyang, and then using Chu Youyang to lure out Chu Younan, this is a perfect idea.

They didn't expect that a step was omitted and Chu Younan was lured out directly.

What they didn't expect was that Chu Younan didn't use his full strength last time on the street, but this time in the wilderness, Chu Younan no longer held back and directly knocked down more than a dozen assassins.

Of course, it wasn’t all Chu Younan’s fault.

Two of them were killed by Gu Rui who hit them with stones, and the other half was killed by Chu Youyang.

There were some survivors originally, but they were assassins. If they succeeded, they survived, but if they failed, they took poison. This is stupid.

When Gu Rui entered the cave, Qin Meizhi was lying in the corner of the cave in the most miserable state of his life.

She was shot in the shoulder and passed through her body, and the assassin had not treated her properly. So she was half dead now, with only one breath left.

When Gu Rui appeared, she thought it was an illusion. She stroked his cheek and murmured, "It's great to finally dream about you."

"This is not a dream, it's me, it's really me." Gu Rui's heart was almost broken.

Qin Meizhi forced a smile, "It's the same thing again. You say this every time you dream, but every time I wake up, it's still a dream..."

"Not this time, really not, I'll take you back..."

Gu Rui said this and was about to pick her up.

But it touched her wound, causing her to frown, "Don't move... don't move... just like this... hold me..."

"It's only in my dreams that I dare to say that I've dreamed of you many times. In fact, when you pretended to be Xiang'er and came in that time, I already felt it..."

"If you had held me up at that time, I might have followed you regardless of everything. Or maybe, we wouldn't have gotten to spend time together later..."

"I have thought about this many times. Was it in the Imperial Mausoleum that I started to fall in love with you, or in the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion, or was it after I returned to the palace? But I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it. I always feel that it might have been earlier..."

"I once had a dream. I dreamed that the eldest prince became the emperor and killed all the princes. Later, he did not let me go. In that dream, you saved me, and in the end I died in the small house where I lived with you..."

"That little house is very simple, but it is the most comfortable and reassuring place in my life..."

As they spoke, Gu Rui's eyes turned red and Qin Meizhi closed her eyes.

Concubine Mei said that was Gu Rui’s previous life, which means that in the last period of her previous life, she had already fallen in love with Gu Rui.

He was…wrong…after all…

"Gu Rui! What are you still standing there for? Take the concubine back to find King Zunyi!" Chu Younan shouted in a deep voice.

Only then did Gu Rui come back to his senses.

Qin Meizhi is still alive, he just fainted. Why is he sad about the spring and hurt about the autumn here?

As long as she has a breath left, King Zunyi can save her!

But this time Su Xiujie failed.

Qin Meizhi is dead.

Gu Rui wanted to skin Su Xiujie alive, but before he could do anything, Chu Youyang beat him up.

There's no particular reason, I just don't like him.

While the two were fighting, Su Xiujie slipped away and entered the palace.

When he saw Su Bei, he was still frightened, "I will never do this again! I will never do this again! You didn't even see that Gu Rui was holding a knife and almost cut me..."

Su Bei hurriedly poured him some tea, "I think you still need to learn some martial arts, otherwise, with your high medical skills, if you save someone you shouldn't save in the future, you might end up getting yourself killed!"

"I think I helped the wrong person this time!" Su Xiujie was still in shock, "I shouldn't have helped him earlier. He doesn't know what's good for him!"

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box and placed it heavily on the table.

This was the first time that Su Xiujie got so angry. He must have been very angry, so he didn't even give the antidote to Gu Rui.

Qin Meizhi was not really dead. As long as she was still alive, Su Xiujie could bring her back to life. However, Su Bei thought this was a good opportunity to blow her up, and was afraid that Gu Rui would reveal the trap in his joy, so only Su Bei and Su Xiujie knew about this.

After taking the fake death drug, the person looks almost dead, but needs to take the antidote within a month.

Otherwise, the fake play will become real! Su Bei didn't bother to comfort him, and hurriedly asked Yun Rou to bring the antidote to Gu Rui.

According to the rules of the Wu Kingdom, when the Queen or Empress Dowager dies, the body will be kept for 49 days, while when a concubine of the same level dies, the body will be kept for 28 days.

In other words, once buried, she must be given the antidote within two days, otherwise she will really die.

The situation is extremely urgent!

But after being beaten up, Gu Rui left Beijing...

"Hurry up and take the antidote to Ping'an County to find him!" Su Bei was also anxious. If this fake became true, others would not know about it, but she would definitely feel uneasy.

Yunrou left.

She also brought a carrier pigeon with her just in case.

As a result, Su Bei received a letter via carrier pigeon that night, saying that Gu Rui did not return to Ping'an County.

It's all over. Qin Meizhi is dead. This guy has no ties in the capital anymore. I'm afraid he has gone traveling around!

There are still twenty-seven days before Qin Mei's burial.

Su Bei started to rack his brains and thought about how to find Gu Rui. Communication in the end times was already very inconvenient, but fortunately there were still a few walkie-talkies available and people would not wander around. But in ancient times, it was even more inconvenient. If one person got lost, I'm afraid that thousands of people would not be able to find him.

It's not impossible to ask Su Xiujie to break into the tomb, but he's still angry and doesn't want to help no matter what.
