"Fugui, you can't tell anyone about the origami crane."
"I'll remember this. If His Majesty asks, I'll say I took a shortcut all the way here."
Gu Yinwei walked out of the official road and stopped in front of the carriage.
Wei Junzhai frowned deeply, thinking to himself that something bad was bound to happen if she came.
The emperor lifted the curtain of his carriage and rubbed his eyes. "Fugui, I am not mistaken, Xiang Fei is standing under the tree."
"The emperor is dazzled, and Concubine Xiang is staying in the harem... Oh, Fugui, your dear disciple."
Xunhe jumped off the carriage to see Fugui, and Fugui took out a pot of liquor from his arms.
"Master, the burnt knife you asked for."
"I've been wanting to drink Shaodaozi for a long time, and now it's finally here. I'm having a great time drinking Shaodaozi on a snowy day."
Xun He was a heavy drinker, so Wei Junzhai sent him a lot of wine with something added to it, but he forced himself not to drink it.
His apprentice traveled across mountains and rivers to bring him a pot of Shaodaozi. After he drank it, his stomach churned and felt hot and burning, and he felt that his whole life was complete.
The Queen Mother impatiently lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Keep going! Why did you stop again? If you delay the Third Prince's treatment, I will kill all nine generations of your clan."
People who always want to kill others' entire clan will basically not live long.
Gu Yinwei opened her Dharma eyes and saw that the empress dowager was surrounded by poison and her time was running out.
The poisonous gas on her body was green, and the fangs on the long-eared marten's mouth were also green.
The two poisons are similar, there must be a spy in the team.
Who could poison her, the emperor, and the empress dowager all at the same time and quietly?
This person must be in a high position and powerful, well versed in medicine, and he has also been to Dongzhou.
There is only one person who meets these conditions - the national teacher Wei Junzhai.
Gu Yinwei whispered instructions to the long-eared marten, and the long-eared marten jumped away.
The emperor gently waved his hand, "My beloved concubine, come here."
Concubine Yi bit her handkerchief, her anger filled with nowhere to vent. Concubine Xiang was like a piece of taffy that she couldn't get rid of no matter how hard she tried. Her wish to monopolize the emperor was going to be dashed again.
"How despicable! You come here at this critical moment to ruin my plans."
Concubine Yi lowered the curtains of the carriage and stabbed the persimmons with scissors.
It was as if she was not poking the persimmon, but Gu Yinwei's face.
The carriage moved forward steadily. After arriving at the inn for rest, the gears of the carriage suddenly broke, and the Queen Mother whipped the carriage.
"The Third Prince is seriously ill, and you're trying to shirk your responsibilities. I'm going to beat you to death today."
The rickshaw driver knelt on the ground and accepted the whipping. The other rickshaw drivers had numb expressions, as they knew that one day the whip would fall on their faces.
The emperor came out to stop him and said, "Mother, please stop fighting. Let's go to the inn and rest for a night. We can continue our journey after the wheel is repaired."
The Queen Mother remained unmoved.
The Third Prince lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Mother, I want to warm myself by the fire."
"Very well, I will tell them to light a fire and boil a bucket of hot water for my son to wash properly."
The Queen Mother pushed the Emperor aside and ordered the eunuchs to carry the Third Prince into the Fengmian Inn.
The emperor could not hide the disappointment in his eyes as he followed Xunhe into the inn.
The eunuchs were busy making fire and cooking, and the innkeeper was responsible for helping them.
Wei Junzhai got off the carriage slowly and walked towards the inn with everyone. Gu Yinwei stopped him.
"Master, let me tell you a story."
"I'm not interested in listening."
"Nine Stars Trapped..."
"Stop talking. I'll listen to you."
Gu Yinwei came too quickly, so quickly that it was beyond his expectation. Wei Junzhai felt guilty and his eyes were wandering, not looking directly at Gu Yinwei.
"Master, your plan will not succeed."
"I knew it wouldn't work. I was just joking. I hope you don't take it seriously."
"You rushed all the way here from the palace, which must have consumed a lot of your lifespan."
"I have enough lifespan."
"Stop talking big, and don't think about saving this person today and saving that person tomorrow. Think about how to save yourself first."
"I know what's going on. I asked you out to tell you that the Nine-Star Dragon Trapping Formation has been broken. Your plan will never succeed."
Gu Yinwei turned and walked away, and heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
Wei Junzhai laughed heartily. In the empty snowfield, a shallow footprint was soon covered by the white snow. Reeds grew all around, and clumps of reeds swayed in the wind.
"My plan won't succeed. Who said I only have one plan? Hahaha, how could I only have one plan to kill the emperor?"
"Gu Yinwei, you are also in my plan. You are also a part of my plan."
The snow was falling heavily. Wei Junzhai was covered in snow and looked up at the sky alone.
The inn is backed by deep mountains, with rolling terrain like a peacock's tail. Standing on the second floor of the inn and looking out, you can clearly see two stone statues standing in the bamboo forest.
Gu Yinwei concluded that there must be a large tomb hidden deep in the bamboo forest, and the peak of Wuliang Mountain was slightly exposed from the clouds.
"The wind is strong through the window, come to me."
There was a basin of hot water in front of the bamboo chair, with a few yellow flower petals floating in the water.
The temperature in the wooden basin was just right, and the flower petals in the water emitted a faint fragrance. As my feet sank into the water, the fatigue from traveling all night immediately dissipated.
Gu Yinwei leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed, resting. Occasionally, the sound of wind whistling past could be heard outside the window.
The two men sat around the fire and chatted for a while. The emperor was holding a book in his hand. On the cover of the book was a picture of a towering mountain with its peak towering into the clouds and its ridge shrouded in mist.
The emperor told the legend of Wuliang Mountain according to the book, "A long time ago, at the foot of Wuliang Mountain, there lived a farming couple. They were self-sufficient and peace-loving. Then a vicious wolf came to the foot of the mountain..."
The emperor closed the book in disappointment and walked to the bed and sat down.
"Why don't you talk about it?"
