Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

After Luo Qiulin sneaked into the palace under the guise of Yao Xingzheng, he still went to Chengming Hall to perform acupuncture for Fu Xiuyun every day as usual. The acupuncture method remained the same, but the fragrance was removed.

These days, Fu Xiuyun's physical condition was getting worse day by day, and he didn't realize that the person standing in front of him had changed his core.

Luo Qiulin lowered his eyebrows, retracted the last needle, and said, "Your Majesty, it's over, how do you feel?"

Fu Xiuyun lifted his heavy eyelids, his gray eyes were cloudy, he said: "Today's acupuncture seems to be useless, I still feel very tired."

It is useless for sure, in the past it was useless for Yao Xing to perform acupuncture, what really worked was the incense he lit every time he performed acupuncture.

Luo Qiulin knew the truth, but she didn't tell Fu Xiuyun, but said: "Acupuncture is like taking medicine. After a long time, the effect is naturally not as good as before. Acupuncture can only delay the symptoms of your majesty's headache, and you need medicine to cure it. Peace of mind is what it is.”

Fu Xiuyun pressed his temples, and was unable to say any more, so he sent people away.

Seeing Luo Qiulin coming out, the little eunuch guarding outside hurried forward and said, "My lord, something happened at your house, you should go back quickly."

Luo Qiulin's expression changed slightly, he was the only one in Yao Xingzheng's family, what else could happen?Except for the Cai family.
She immediately reacted, handed the medicine box to the little eunuch, and strode down the steps with her official robes together: "In that case, I'll go back first. If His Majesty asks later, remember to tell him."

"Hey, the slave understands."

Luo Qiulin went back to Yao's mansion with his thoughts on his mind. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a man in a pine green robe standing with his hands behind his back in the corridor.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned around and said to her, "I heard that you have been staying in the palace for the past few days, but your majesty's illness has gotten worse?"

When Luo Qiulin saw that face, his pupils trembled suddenly.

Although he is over sixty years old, his body is still stalwart, with a few strands of white hair protruding from his temples, and wrinkles around his eyes. Only those sharp eyes are as dignified and deep as before.

It was a very ordinary face, but Luo Qiulin couldn't recover from it for a long time.

She had seen this face many years ago, to be more precise, the face in front of her was created by her
Cai Yuan noticed the change in her expression, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "But something happened in the palace?"

Luo Qiulin came back to his senses, and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed: "Don't worry, everything is in my plan, I don't know why you came here suddenly today?"

Cai Yuan looked at her secretly, pondered for a long time, and said: "The battle report of the northern border will be handed over to the imperial court tomorrow morning. At that time, I will push the crown prince to the position of supervisor of the country. As for the rest, you should understand in your heart."

"Yes, I understand." Luo Qiulin lowered his eyes to cover the strange look in his eyes.

Cai Yuan stared at her for a while without saying anything more, but after returning to Cai's house, the killing intent hidden in his heart finally emerged.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, she is still alive. The massacre failed to kill her, and now it is impossible to keep her." He was shrouded in shadow, revealing a gloomy and dangerous air.

Then, a black shadow flashed in the study, kneeling down respectfully: "Who does the master want to kill?"

"Ghost doctor Luo Qiulin," Cai Yuan paused suddenly, then changed his tune, "No, it should be Yao Xingzheng now."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

After finishing the words, I only felt a gust of cool wind, and in the blink of an eye, the person kneeling under the hall had disappeared.

Cai Yuan leaned back in the spacious grand master's chair, and slowly closed his eyes, as if caught in a distant memory.

During these years in the capital, he has never forgotten his identity. Even though he is the chief assistant and has the supreme power, he still longs to return to his own piece of world.

The Qionglou Yuyu in the capital is yearned for by the world, but after looking at it for a long time, I just feel that it is an invisible cage.

The square sky above and the overlapping high walls are suffocating, and the free wind mixed with the fragrance of green grass will never cross that city wall.

The first time he saw "Yao Xingzheng" today, he noticed something strange. He didn't see through Luo Qiulin's disguise technique, but thought of himself for a moment—because now he is the same as Luo Qiulin. take over someone else's identity.
The sky gradually darkened, and the snow that had accumulated for a long time finally seemed to melt.

After Luo Qiulin met Cai Yuan, he turned into Sun Fuzhi's yard that night.

"A Bao, something serious happened."

Sun Fuzhi had never seen her so serious before, and immediately came forward: "What happened? But Your Majesty—"

"It's much more serious than this!" Luo Qiulin had already returned to his original attire at this time, and it was too late to sit down. "Today, people from the Cai family are here. They are already planning to do something to His Majesty and help the crown prince ascend the throne."

Sun Fuzhi had expected that there would be such a day when Cai Fuya had a miscarriage and Cai Yuan's plan failed, so he could only find another way, and supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne was the best way.

But what Luo Qiulin really wanted to say was not this.

"A Bao, do you still remember that when you were seven years old, I left Konglan Valley for a while?"

She left Konglan Valley too many times, and Sun Fuzhi couldn't remember clearly, so he asked, "Why did you suddenly mention this?"

Luo Qiulin said: "Back then when I was looking for medicine outside the customs, I encountered heavy snow on the way back, so I stayed in the northern border until the snow stopped. During this period, I helped a lady from the official family heal the scar on her face. In fact, I used someone else's skin She covered it up. I thought the matter would be over like this, but not long after, someone came to me again and asked if I could change his face."

Hearing this, Sun Fuzhi's brows congealed in deep thought: "Could it be someone from the Cai family?"

"Yes, but no."

She continued: "At that time, I had just learned the art of changing faces, but I had never actually used a knife on a human face. The master never liked me to study these things, so I refused his request. But the next day he It's here again, but this time, he brought another person, and that person is the chief assistant of the court—Cai Yuan."

Sun Fuzhi was surprised: "Are you sure you remember correctly?"

"That is the only face I have ever changed in my life. I will never remember it wrong! The man who came to see me was tall and mighty. Although he spoke Dayan dialect, his accent sounded like a Beidi person. He gave me Two chests of gold, to make him into the likeness of the man he brought."

"So, you agreed?"

Luo Qiulin sneered: "You also know that we are poor in Konglan Valley. If I hadn't gone out to treat diseases and save people every year, you would have starved to death, but I also want to try whether the face-changing technique left by my ancestors is really so magical. , and agreed."

She didn't know that the comatose man was Cai Yuan. If she hadn't seen that face again today, she would never have thought that Beidi was planning this huge conspiracy 17 years ago.

Cai Yuan is the emperor's teacher, and he was kind to the first emperor, but he didn't want such a person to have died many years ago, and now the person sitting in the high position is just a spy sent by Beidi!
In 17 years, tens of thousands of days and nights, he used his identity as "Cai Yuan" to do his best in the court, and deceived everyone, even Mrs. Cai.

Sun Fuzhi couldn't imagine what kind of person could completely forget his former self and become a brand new person?
The night outside became more and more intense, and the overwhelming darkness swept over in an instant, and the flickering candles swayed the figure, making people feel depressed.

At this time, a knock on the door suddenly came to mind, which instantly pulled back the two people's drifting thoughts.

"My lord, Yao's house is on fire."

Sun Fuzhi was stunned, and looked at Luo Qiulin with complicated eyes: "The Yao family is on fire at this juncture. It should be that Cai Yuan has discovered your identity and wants to kill people. You can no longer stay in the capital and leave earlier. Bar."

"I'm not leaving!" Luo Qiulin snorted coldly, "Now the only person who can prove that 'Cai Yuan' is a fake is me. If I'm gone too, are we going to watch him take away the power of Dayan? He It's not that easy to kill me!"

Sun Fuzhi thought for a moment, and said: "You are right, but Cai Yuan will not let you go easily, and please stay at home in peace, I will take care of everything outside."

"No, I've already figured out where to go."

"where?"

"Eternal Spring Palace."

Cai Yuan wanted to kill her to silence her, but in vain, he burned the real Yao Xingzheng to death.She cannot leave the capital now, and Changchun Palace is the safest place.
-
The fire at Yao's house burned all night, until dawn, when the officials found Yao Xingzheng's body from the ruins.

After Cai Qi heard about this, he was very confused: "Why did Yao Xingzheng die at this time?"

The boy standing beside replied: "I heard that the master asked someone to do it."

"Father?" Cai Qi was even more puzzled. "Now is the critical moment. If father gets rid of Yao Xingzheng at this time, what will happen to the palace?"

As soon as the words were finished, a person walked in from outside the door, it was Cai Yuan.

Cai Qi got up quickly: "Father, why are you here?"

Cai Yuan glanced at him, walked to the main seat and sat down: "Yao Xingzheng has become useless, if we keep him, it will be the next Song Yinian. As for the affairs in the palace, I have my own arrangements. In addition, this morning, the news came from the north. The news is that Suzhou was raided last night, and I believe the military report has already been delivered to His Majesty by this time."

"So fast?" Cai Qi was slightly surprised.

"Ling Qingyan is already planning to vindicate Fu Mingjue. If we don't act before them, everything we have done will come to naught!"

His Majesty always kept room for Fu Mingjue, and was reluctant to kill him, and even went to Zongzheng Temple secretly before.Once Ling Qingyan presents the evidence, I'm afraid His Majesty will really soften his heart and spare Fu Mingjue.

Cai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "Bei Di has been in a stalemate with King Jing'an for several days. Now that the snow has stopped, it's time to end."

Today is the Beginning of Spring, and the battle lasted from severe winter to early spring. King Jingan led his troops to defend the Guiya Valley and stopped Beidi from going south. But 9 troops.
