Chapter 195 What are gods?
Time flows very fast, and childhood memories are not stable after all.

Winter turned to spring, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Yan was already eight years old. He was skinny and skinny, and his eyebrows showed the same gloominess as Gu Yue.

The familiar small courtyard has bare peach branches and white snow covering the ground.

In the dilapidated palace, there was a muffled groan.

Lin Susu stood at the door, her eyes complex.

She didn't expect that Gu Yue would feed Zhu Yan poisonous poison since he was three years old.

The poisonous poison corroded his internal organs. At first, he screamed in pain, but gradually, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

As night fell, the painful groans in the palace stopped. After a long time, the door opened, and a hand with bloody fingertips was holding the door frame. Zhu Yan wiped the blood from the corners of his lips and walked out expressionlessly.

He looked around with numb eyes, then limped to the palace gate.

A little palace maid aged thirteen or fourteen was waiting there rubbing her hands and stamping her feet. When she saw him coming out, her pupils lit up and she hurriedly took out a paper package from her sleeve and handed it to him.

"Eat quickly, I left it specially for you."

she said earnestly.

Zhu Yan looked shy, took the paper bag, and said shyly, "Thank you."

The little palace maid was very satisfied, and the two of them squatted by the palace wall. Zhu Yan slowly ate the steamed buns one bite at a time, staring straight ahead with empty eyes.

The little palace maid was chattering on the side, "Don't forget me when you leave the cold palace in the future. If I hadn't brought you food in the past two years, you would have died of hunger long ago!"

Zhu Yan lowered his eyes, turned to look at the little palace maid, and said with gratitude, "I will definitely not forget you!"

The little palace maid became more and more satisfied, looking at him, her face gradually turned red, "If I didn't think you look good..."

She murmured awkwardly and raised her voice, "Anyway, don't forget my kindness to you!"

Zhu Yan looked up again with a grateful expression.

After the palace maid left, his expression darkened, his eyesight became stiff and dead, he got up and walked slowly back to the courtyard.

"Hey! Are you the saint's son?"

Standing firmly on the palace wall was a young man wearing a mask, dressed in green clothes, standing with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Yan looked up, then lowered his head and continued walking into the house.

juvenile,"……"

"Aren't you curious who I am?"

"Snapped!"

What answered him was the sound of a door closing.

"puff!"

Lin Susu couldn't help laughing.

"It's funny?!" The young man looked at her.

Lin Susu was startled, pointed at herself, and looked around, looking confused.

"Don't look, I'm just talking about you!" the young man continued.

Lin Susu became interested now, "Can you see me?"

She had been using the power of the formation to shield herself, and this child could actually see her.

"Is it possible that you are really a ghost?"

The young man stretched out his arms and walked to her.

"No, who are you?"

Lin Susu was curious about how he could see herself.

The young man wore a cyan mask, leaving only his eyes staring at her. Lin Susu felt very familiar with those eyes.

She couldn't help but ask, "Have we met somewhere?"

The young man said, "Of course I have seen it, eight years ago, in the Royal Garden."

Lin Susu raised her eyebrows, "Are you that brat?"

"It's really you. Who are you? Eight years have passed, but your voice and appearance haven't changed at all!"

The young man sighed in words, but his tone showed no emotion.

Lin Susu crossed her arms and smiled, "Of course she is a fairy."

"..." The young man was speechless for a while, and then he said, "Are all fairies so idle?"

It was clear that there was no emotion in his tone, but Lin Susu always felt that he was mocking.

Lin Susu coughed and changed the subject, "You haven't said who you are yet?"

The young man said, "I never deal with people who hide their heads and show their tails."

He tiptoed and jumped onto the palace wall without looking back.

"No matter who you are, if you dare to harm the child in the house, don't blame me for being rude."

After finishing speaking, he flew away.

Lin Susu was speechless. She was wearing a mask and didn't dare to see anyone. Who was hiding her head and showing her tail?

Time flies and it’s January again in a blink of an eye.

Two eunuchs passed by at the entrance of Leng Palace. One of them, a round-faced eunuch, said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, the disease is coming very violently... The soldiers of Yan State are strong and their horses are strong, and they repeatedly invade the border. If the real country is destroyed..."

"Shh! You don't want your life!!" Another tall eunuch pushed him in fear.

The round-faced eunuch smiled coquettishly, "It's just you and me..."

"Beware of trouble coming from your mouth!" the tall eunuch scolded angrily.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction on the round-faced eunuch's face, but he still dropped the topic, "I hope that Master Wujue's entry into the palace this time can help His Majesty to turn the crisis around!"

The tall eunuch said, "Of course, Master Wujue is the representative of the gods. Your Majesty has God's blessing, so you don't need lowly people like us to worry about it!"

The two of them exchanged words with each other and gradually walked away.

"God?"

Zhu Yan stood at the palace gate, with a look of inquiry and curiosity on his young face. The rare innocence diluted the gloom, making him look much brighter.

At night, the little palace maid brought a bag of steamed buns as usual, and Zhu Yan asked her, "What are gods?"

The little palace maid thought for a while, "Before I entered the palace, I often followed my mother to the temple to worship. My mother said that when people in the world are in trouble, the gods from the sky will come to the world and save people from fire and water."

She grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and said, "The statues in the temple are made of clay. They are everywhere. They can be soil or leaves..."

After the little palace maid left, Zhu Yan picked up a handful of frozen soil from the ground and kneaded it carefully, gradually revealing his head and body.

He looked at it for a long time and put it close to his body.

In the blink of an eye, it was two months again. On this day, Emperor Zhou's personal eunuch suddenly led a group of internal servants to the entrance of Leng Palace.

In the past few years, Gu Yue, who was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, suddenly returned to normal. She carefully dressed herself up. It was just a matter of straightening her hair and tidying up her clothes.

"Gu Shi, let's go."

Eunuch Zuo flicked his fly whisk in an arrogant manner.

Gu Yue pulled Zhu Yan beside her with an excited expression, "Yan'er, your father is finally willing to see us! He must have found out the truth and knew that he had misunderstood me!"

A flash of sarcasm flashed across Eunuch Zuo's face, and he led the two of them toward the front hall.

The mother and son were brought to the court. Gu Yue looked at Emperor Zhou on the dragon throne, unable to hide her drunkenness, "Your Majesty, you are finally willing to see my concubine!"

The ministers were whispering, and the small and thin Zhu Yan clenched his fists, wearing old clothes, standing out of place in the magnificent hall, huddled in a ball.

"Is this the monster?"

"Everyone knows that Gu's unborn son is an evildoer. Now His Majesty is seriously ill, the borders are in critical condition, and civil disasters are occurring frequently. It must be caused by this evildoer's bad luck!"

"Eight years ago, Heavenly Master Wujue asserted that this evildoer would bring disaster to the world. Please put the country first! Execute the evildoer!"

"Your Majesty, please put the country first! Execute the evildoer!!

There was a chorus of agreement in the court.

"No!"

Gu Yue shook her head in panic, "Yan'er is not a monster!"

She climbed to the imperial steps and said, "Your Majesty, Yan'er is your own flesh and blood! How could you mistakenly believe the slander..."

"Come here, let the two of them be paraded through the streets, and they will be rectified on the spot in front of Tianzhong Gate at noon today!"

Emperor Zhou's voice was weak but ruthless, coming word by word from above. Gu Yue's voice suddenly stopped, and she collapsed on the ground in disbelief.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers paid homage.
