Spring April, popcorn fluttering.
Old General Xue had been sick for a month after suffering from the cold in the early spring. The old general is already old, and Xue Yuan has made a big splash in the imperial court, he has already taken a break and is ready to come down from the court to make way for his son.
Since the beginning of April, General Xue has submitted two letters to the court, both of which were rejected by the Emperor. Not long ago, General Xue wrote a third petition to return, the words of earnest and deep sense of justice, the emperor sighed, and personally drove to the Xue residence, visit the old minister who has been ill for a long time.
Those who are concerned about this matter know in their hearts that this time old General Xue should be able to succeed in his career.
His Majesty came in person, the honor is extraordinary. Early in the morning, the people of the Xue Mansion were waiting in front of the Xue Mansion.
His Majesty is not what he used to be, he is not the poor little man who was controlled by the powerful ministers, but the sea god pin that holds down the river and mountain. In the past few years, in addition to the punctuation mark of the offering of the Imperial Court Li Bao died in the presence of the emperor, no other courtiers have this kind of honor.
Xue House up to Xue old general, down to cleaning slaves, all hearts are joyful and proud.
In the middle of the crowd, there was a shadow in a wheelchair.
This person's face is a long time to see the sun's pale, thin body without a trace of manliness. But those eyes are extremely deep, so deep that it seems as if the waves do not move.
The Regent King Xue Yuan, who held monstrous power in his hands, never expected that he would have a day where he would wake up in the body of the waste Xue Er.
The household servant at his side whispered, "Second Duke, the Sage is here, and you still have to bend over and bend down."
Eldest Prince Xue's attitude towards His Holiness was as terrified as a mouse meeting a cat. He had been scared by the emperor twice, mentioning the word "emperor" in front of him was like scaring a child by saying "if you cry in the night, you will be taken away by the king of hell".
But today's Xue Er Gongzi is different, he has not said a word for three whole days, and now the moment he speaks, his voice sounds like it's broken and raspy, "His Holiness is approaching, and should be greeted with a salute."
He slowly laughed again, "It's just that I have discomfort today, and the bones in my back hurt so much that I'm afraid I won't be able to bend down."
The servant looked at him, yes, when would Eldest Prince Xue hold his back so straight? He quickly walked over to the madam and whispered about Eldest Prince Xue's discomfort.
The joy on Mrs. Xue's face faded a bit as she looked sideways towards Second Duke Xue. Second Duke Xue was looking at her fixedly, as if he hadn't seen her for a long time.
Lady Xue was puzzled in her heart, but then suddenly her heart softened and she said to the servant, "Then help the second prince to the back, and go down to rest after meeting the Holy Emperor."
The servants pushed Second Duke Xue to the very back of the crowd, and just as he stood still, His Holiness' imperial chariot arrived in front of the Xue Mansion. The people at the front bent down respectfully, especially the servants, almost touching their heads on the ground.
Although the second son of Xue was sitting in a wheelchair and was at the end of the line, he instead looked straight ahead at this time and saw the imperial chariot that the emperor was traveling in.
Also saw another self.
Xue Yuan in an official robe, valiantly rolled over and dismounted, and walked straight to the front of the imperial chariot and bent down to raise his hand, "Your Holiness, please go down."
The surrounding imperial guards were neatly robed and in high spirits, and the black-armored forbidden soldiers followed on the outside, their eyes gleaming as they watched out for the surroundings.
Second Duke Xue's gaze sank on his other self for a few moments, his stature and appearance were all his. But this look of dutiful allegiance to the Emperor really made him feel absurd and ridiculous.
The Emperor is not dead, the scourge of Lu Feng has not yet jeopardized the country, the eunuchs' rebellion has not choked the dynasty, nothing has happened, and Xue Yuan has not revolted.
Everything here was unfamiliar to him to the extreme, and he could hardly imagine how his own self here could be loyal to the Emperor, becoming a loyal dog at the Emperor's feet that even Xue Er, who was lying in his hospital bed without seeing the light of day, knew about?
The imperial chariot opened, the bright yellow robes rolled, the saint handed out his hand, and was helped by Xue Yuan to carefully go down.
The second son of Xue moved upwards from the hand of the Holy Lord and looked directly at the holy face without any qualms.
The saint's complicated dragon robe, early spring days also cloaked in a dark-colored cloak, his eyebrows gentle and hidden sharp, the corner of the lips slightly hooked, it is a love of ministers such as children's honorable appearance.
The second son of Xue looked straight ahead, seeing the tips of the saint's hair from the saint's fingertips.
Young and delicate, with means to spare.
Elder General Xue was helped to salute: "All is well with the Holy Spirit, to have the Holy Spirit's presence, I am satisfied with ten thousand deaths."
Gu Yuanbai helped him up and smiled, "These words must not be said again by Xue Qing."
Second Duke Xue was still looking at the Saint, but the slave beside him pushed him to retreat quietly, "Duke, let's go ahead and rest."
The Regent's eyes sank, but he was silent enough to let the slave push the wheelchair.
In his memory, the emperor was weak, Lu Feng had never recalled the Xue family father and son from the border to the capital. He had never broken Xue Er's legs either, he had directly taken Xue Er's life with his hand.
Everything in this life was different, starting with the emperor who should have died of an early illness.
*
The old general Xue really put forward the matter of suing for return, Gu Yuanbai looked at his hair already gray at the temples, sighed, and finally allowed the play.
After visiting the loyal ministers, Gu Yuanbai had the crowd follow far behind him, strolling on foot with Xue Yuan through the winding paths of the courtyard.
Halfway around the corner, Xue Yuan suddenly coughed and reminded, "Your Holiness."
Gu Yuanbai curled his lips, "I thought you could hold back for how long, not even two quarters yet."
Xue Yuan was slightly aggravated, "That's not what you said this morning."
Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but be happy, pulling him to stand behind a rockery, telling the palace staff not to come forward from a distance, and then pushed Xue Yuan to lean against the rockery.
Xue Yuan stood straight, Gu Yuanbai raised her hands and hooked them around his neck, taking the initiative to send a kiss.
The child that cries has sugar to eat, Lord Xue explicitly and secretly wanted Gu Yuanbai to take the initiative, Gu Yuanbai let him see what is called the boyfriend power of the twenty-first century.
Kisses soften his legs!
This ambition is high, nay Lord Xue is not so good at being weak in the knees, Gu Yuanbai gradually immersed himself between the intertwining of his lips and tongue, and when Xue Yuan couldn't help but buckle onto his waist, Gu Yuanbai precisely stopped his hand.
"You can't move," grinning, "Didn't you want to take the initiative? I can only move you this time, you can't move me."
Lord Xue's face changed and he blurted out, "It can still be like this?"
Gu Yuanbai nodded with a smile and made another gesture to undo his shirt. Xue Yuan rarely squirmed a bit and looked around, "Your Holiness, it's not good to be here ......"
As he said that, he quickly unbuckled his belt.
Fuck.
Gu Yuanbai laughed out loud, he let go of Xue Yuan and propped himself up on the wigwam and couldn't stop laughing, "Xue Jiujiuyao ah Xue Jiujiuyao, why are you so cute."
Xue Yuan's belt was halfway undone, and when he saw that he had been tricked again, he didn't get angry and directly wrapped his belt around Gu Yuanbai's waist and hooked him in his arms, "Is it fun to trick me? Master Bai, I have to bully back."
He was about to approach when a muffled thunderclap exploded in the sky. Gu Yuanbai snorted, "Did you hear that? The heavens have told you not to move."
Xue Yuan sighed, but still went up and kissed before letting go, arranging Gu Yuanbai's clothes for him, and the two of them headed back together for fear of rain falling.
As expected, a few moments later the spring rain fell, Xue Yuan picked Gu Yuanbai up and ran to the nearest courtyard, "Your Holiness wait here for a few moments, I'll bring someone to get some rain gear."
Gu Yuanbai drew a handkerchief from his arms and delicately wiped the raindrops off his face, smiling and saying, "Go."
Xue Yuan's footsteps hurriedly led the people away, Gu Yuanbai walked out onto the porch and watched the spring rain for an unknown period of time, when he suddenly heard the sound of wooden wheels rolling.
Gu Yuanbai turned his head sideways and saw Eldest Prince Xue, who had slowly come sitting in a wheelchair.
*
Rain also fell on Second Prince Xue's shoulders, as if he had just come from the rain.
Gu Yuanbai glanced at him, his thin lips that had just been kissed slightly red, like buds in a green spring rain, "This courtyard is Lin Ge'er's residence?"
Second Duke Xue's afterglow swept past his lips and smiled down, "Precisely, the straw man has met His Holiness."
The Regent had followed him all the way in from the outside, and behind the dense forest, he had seen the Emperor's intimate appearance with his other self.
He was so stunned that he wanted to disbelieve that the man could be himself.
Regent half life is not close to beauty, see men and women feel bored. Chu Wei color has been excellent, but then again good is also a man, the regent and Chu Wei is a partner, not the bed to vent their lust for playthings.
Xue's old father, three generations of loyal, can not accept him in charge of politics, parents to death, tears, he had to excuse himself to have a dragon and Yang, and Chu Wei is a pair, both will not leave offspring, and now in power is just to eliminate the evil and evil, stabilize the world of the Gu family.
After such rumors spread out, it instead made it easier for him to hold the court.
As if the Regent would not threaten the throne because he was after Long Yang.
The Prince Regent found it interesting and wanted to see how these people would look when they realized that he was not a Long Yang. But he would never have thought that "he" would actually become a Long Yang one day.
And so eager, a kiss is like a death sentence, where would he be so obsessed with the wind and the moon?
"Well," Gu Yuanbai faintly responded, letting people bring bamboo chairs, "nothing to go back to the room to stay, see you in front of me is not comfortable."
Second Duke Xue turned his wheelchair over and suddenly said, "Your Holiness, the grasshopper bought a book on palmistry from a Taoist priest the other day, if Your Holiness doesn't mind, the grasshopper would dare to want to show Your Holiness a palm."
Gu Yuanbai turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at him critically, "There's something wrong with you today."
The Regent evoked an odd smile and extended his hand toward him.
This one Xue Er's arm.
The skin was flabby and withered, without the slightest hint of powerful muscle.
Gu Yuanbai looked down at his hand, the Regent looked at him with a smile on his face, his hand persistently lifted, this waste of human skin could not maintain a long position of immobility, his arm was already unnaturally trembling, but Xue Er's face was relaxed, as if the trembling and spasms of his arm did not have anything to do with him.
"Men," the towering emperor turned his head, not to be trifled with, "take Second Prince Xue to his room to rest."
The palace attendant beside the saint stepped forward and forcefully tried to take him away, the regent sighed and withdrew his hand. However, at the moment the palace attendant pushed the wheelchair, Second Prince Xue abruptly fell to the left side, falling heavily next to Gu Yuanbai's feet amidst the palace attendant's cries of alarm, and the wooden wheelchair made of wood broke its wooden wheels, with bits and pieces of trifles rolling down the corridor into the rain.
In the midst of the chaos, Second Prince Xue took hold of the hand of the Holy Spirit and hastily glanced at the phase of his hand.
Soon, he was picked up and carried away, the things on the ground were cleaned up one by one, and Gu Yuanbai raised his hand in thought.
And Second Prince Xue, who was carried back to his room, covered his face, as if he felt that he had lost a great deal of face.
"Second Duke," the house servant said, "I'll go call a doctor for you, you'd better not go out today."
Second Duke Xue lowered his hand and said with a smile, "Get out."
Obviously a short-lived face, the problem was really with this emperor.
*
Xue Yuan led Gu Yuanbai back to his room, and Gu Yuanbai pondered the whole way, "Jiu Yao, your brother isn't right."
Xue Yuan sank his face, "He offended you?"
Gu Yuanbai tapped his fingers on his knees, "It doesn't count, that's just it, have someone call him here."
A few moments later, Second Prince Xue came in the rain, the slave behind him was holding an oil paper umbrella, but the wind and rain still wet his clothes in front of his knees, showing a bit of a mess.
He also had a white jade chessboard on his lap.
Gu Yuanbai had someone set up the chessboard, and Xue Yuan stood beside the saint with a gloomy face, his gaze sweeping over and over again from the second son of Xue.
Indeed not right, the usual Xue Er could have pissed his pants when he swept up on him, not this calm look now.
Gu Yuanbai held the white disc, Xue Ergongzi held the black disc, both of them did not say anything, and after five or six discs fell, Xue Ergongzi suddenly said, "In the end, I read the palm of His Holiness, and in my haste, I inevitably made a mistake, or else how could it be a short-lived face?"
Gu Yuanbai loomed large, but Xue Yuan had already kicked Xue Er to the ground, but with a kind voice on his face, "Brother, why can't you even sit still?"
Second Duke Xue spat out a mouthful of bloodied saliva and propped himself up on the ground to sit up, "My younger brother couldn't contain his admiration once he saw His Holiness, and in his excitement--"
Xue Yuan delivered another vicious blow, and the second son of Xue breathed heavily, his eyes glowing with appalling blood.
Xue Yuan squatted in front of him, frivolously patted his face, and laughed again, "Lin Ge'er, say the wrong thing again, and big brother won't even be able to protect you."
Second Prince Xue laughed as well, "Protect your own two-twos of fucking meat."
Gu Yuanbai sighed, his head hurting, "Xue Yuan."
Xue Yuan collected his expression and stood up with poise, Gu Yuanbai smiled at him and softly said, "I want to eat plum cake."
Xue Yuan eased, "I'll order it."
Only when he was gone did Second Prince Xue wipe the blood from his own face again, cursing lowly with another deep sense of hostility, and suddenly muttering to himself, "'I' actually treasured him so much."
Couldn't believe that his other self was raging at that one comment.
Jealous?
How can he be jealous?
Gu Yuanbai made a gesture, and the head of the guards came forward to help Second Duke Xue sit across from His Holiness and continue playing chess.
Second Duke Xue's black eyes stared at Gu Yuanbai as if he was seeing him for the first time.
Gu Yuanbai said, "The way you play chess is Xue Jiuyao's way."
He held up the white disc and placed it on the fatal spot of the black disc, his eyelids ruffled up, sharply forcing Xue Er to look at him, "Who are you."
His gaze seemed like sharp swords, arrows flying for his life.
The Regent was surprisingly hot in the midst of this gaze, his instincts told him that if he gave a bad answer he would have his life taken away by this emperor, but instead, his nerves started to tremble from his scalp, and his excitement was so great that he was dumbfounded.
"Your Holiness, you have to tell me first, is Xue Jiuyao your man?" He hooked up a weird, full-on smile.
Gu Yuanbai looked at him expressionlessly.
Second Duke Xue frivolously whistled at him, "You want to know who my minister is, the answer is actually quite simple." He changed his self-proclaimed name and propped his arms on the chessboard, forcibly dragging his crippled legs over to explore his body, his deep eyes getting closer and lowering his voice, "My name is Xue Yuan, and I am your other man."
