After the imperial physician came to diagnose, it was true that he had wind-cold.

After hearing the news, Tian Fusheng, dragging the old waist to come to the imperial court to serve. Gu Yuanbai rejected him and told him to rest at ease and not to cause trouble.

After getting several wind chills, Gu Yuanbai has been very experienced with injuries and illnesses, this time the condition seems to be raging, but in fact, it is not as bad as the wind chill that could kill him last time, and according to his experience, it will be fine to recuperate for a few days.

Gu Yuanbai is quite calm, the temple burning fireplace, hand carried in the hand stove, thick cloak covered in the body, as usual, sitting at the table to explain the zhangzhi reform.

"Make sure that the newer scholars eat these things up," the saint coughed a few times, his voice going a little hoarse, "have them work from the bottom up, teaching the localities to learn how to write up their zhengzuo in the form of tables, charts, and templates, and by the time they start to pass the zhengzuo up the hierarchy in this way, this will be done. "

The Minister of the Ministry of Administration and the Councillor of the Political Affairs Hall listened to the heart trembling, "Your Majesty, your dragon body is the most important thing, these things ministers and other people will do a good job well, you do not worry."

The Minister of the Ministry of the Civil Service advised, "I guarantee that I will let the new entrants learn these three things thoroughly before they take up their posts; there are no stupid people among the talents of our Daheng Dynasty, so don't worry about it, Your Holiness."

Gu Yuanbai's face was a little unusually red as he raised his head and touched his forehead, exhaling a mouthful of hot air and said, "Good."

The head of the guard, who stood aside, breathed a sigh of relief along with the two ministers.

After the two ministers retreated, Gu Yuanbai returned to his dragon bed, turned his head to look at the guards following behind him, and sighed, "I feel cold, but you guys feel hot."

The head guard was so formal that he didn't know what to say.

Compared to him, Xue Yuan stood straight, the sweat on his face soaking his face, and said frankly, "Does Your Majesty still feel cold?"

Gu Yuanbai said, "It's always cooler than you guys."

Xue Yuan laughed, "I happen to feel hot, if I can pass this heat to His Majesty that would be good."

One thing at a time, Xue Yuan disgusted Gu Yuanbai, Gu Yuanbai punished him on behalf of this matter overturned, no longer count. Two people are such a nature, know each other well, as if the scene in the spring pool has not happened.

Hearing his words, Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows, recalling the image of him asking Xue Yuan to warm his feet earlier.

Xue Yuan pretended to be really obedient, and he was surprisingly able to accept all of his orders in that manner. Thinking about the future regent in the original plot, Xue Yuan was a dog with a temper. Gu Yuanbai made him do what a slave does, and although this mad dog can smile on his face, he might have remembered how much hatred he has in his heart.

But it didn't matter, as long as he dared to move, Gu Yuanbai dared to beat him. Beat him up and he'll be scared, and the mad dog will know that it hurts.

"That's not necessary," Gu Yuanbai, "Retire, I'm going to rest."

The little eunuch lit up the sleeping incense, curls of heavy smoke overflowed in the incense burner, covering up the taste of bitter medicine in the hall. Only a few attentive palace maids and eunuchs remained in the inner hall, and after waiting for Gu Yuanbai to go to bed, the little eunuch held a crystal clear white jade in his hand and placed it next to the pillow.

White sheep's fat jade moist and fine sheep, nourish the spirit and sleep, the saint likes to play with a good jade to sleep, so the bed is often equipped with a variety of good jade pieces.

Gu Yuanbai glanced at it before remembering that the fine piece of jade had just been dropped by him earlier.

"Your majesty but do not like this jade?" The little eunuch momentarily scrutinized the saint's complexion, "There is also a good Hetian topaz, transparent precipitation, without a trace of impurities, small if not to bring the Hetian topaz?"

"Just this one," Gu Yuanbai took the jade in his hands and played with it, "put down the bed tent, I'll rest in peace."

*

When he learned the news that His Majesty was suffering from wind chill, the Prince of Harmony was having a meal with the Prince Consort of Harmony.

Upon hearing the announcement, the Prince of Harmony's hand that was pinching food shook, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Where are those in the palace who serve His Majesty?"

The people at the bottom were coy and didn't dare to speak nonsense, the Prince of Harmony seemed to be suddenly angered, he stood up violently, his temples bulging, the veins on the top of his head bulging, his eyes glaring deathly at the person who informed him, "Are all the people in the palace dead?!"

"Are they all dead?" Roaring, "Taking care of His Holiness even allowed him to catch a wind chill?"

The table shook with him, and the wine glasses on it slipped and smashed on the floor with a clinking, frightening crunch.

The Prince of Harmony's eyes were gloomy, his anger was barely suppressed, and his expression was horrifying.

The Prince Consort on the side let out a cry of shock and hurriedly got up to avoid the oil debris on the ground, she covered her mouth and looked at the Prince of Harmony with tears and fear in her eyes.

The Prince of Harmony's hand had been clenched into a fist, his strength strained, his fist cackled, and the person he was glaring at flopped to his knees, "The king, the king ......"

The Prince of Harmony took several deep breaths and said with a calm face, "Prepare the car."

When Prince He came to the palace, several worried ministers were already waiting outside the Emperor's chambers. The wind chill that His Majesty had at the beginning of the year was not only feared by those in the inner court, but the court was also in turmoil. Now that His Majesty is their backbone, the ministers are already full of worry just by thinking about it.

Now that they saw the Prince of Harmony coming, all the ministers gathered around the Prince of Harmony and asked in a chorus, "Does the Prince of Harmony know how the Holy Spirit got sick again?"

"Does Your Highness know any news? Is the illness of His Majesty serious and fierce? How is His Majesty now, and what did the royal doctor say?"

The Prince of Harmony was sullen and silent, and when the other ministers saw him so, they looked at each other and stopped asking questions.

After a while, a eunuch came out of the hall and said with a smile, ''His Holiness is resting now, do the ministers have any urgent matters? If there is, I will go and wake up His Holiness. If there is not, please return to your lords."

No call may not enter the palace, Daheng dynasty is also so. But there are still some important court officials have a hand can enter the palace waist plate, this is in order to let these ministers if there is a big event can take the initiative to enter the palace to report to the emperor, so as not to miss the emergency caused by the loss. These several ministers are naturally their own waist plate into the palace, all in the worry about the body of the emperor, if the urgent matter, that is really not.

The ministers pursued the question, "How is His Majesty's health today? What did the imperial physician say?"

The guards with swords guarded the front of the hall, eyeing the group of ministers intently. The eunuch said in a peaceful manner, "There is no need for all the lords to worry, the imperial physician has already taken the pulse of His Holiness, and there is no serious harm to His Holiness' dragon body."

Hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and were finally willing to disperse with the palace guards.

When the ministers had left, Prince He took a big step and was about to walk towards the bedchamber. The eunuch stopped Prince He and reluctantly smiled, "Your Highness, why are you making things difficult for me? His Majesty is resting, if you want to pay your respects to His Majesty, why don't you wait until His Majesty wakes up."

The Prince of Harmony pushed the eunuch away, "This king wants to see with his own eyes how he is at this moment."

However, just after taking two steps forward, the chief of guards stopped Prince He with his subordinates. The chief of guards was not humble and said, "Your Highness, you cannot cross this door without a summons from His Majesty."

The Prince of Harmony pulled his lips into a smile, cold-faced, "What if this king has to go in?"

The Prince of Harmony was forced to be trapped in the capital by Gu Yuanbai, and in the past three years, he has been unable to pass through his hands for small matters and big ones. It can be said that the whole world, no one can be more clear than the Prince of He Gu Yuanbai is how suspicious.

When he was closed in the mansion, Gu Yuanbai sent the imperial physician to his door to check his pulse and treat him, and he knew very well at that time that if he refused the imperial physician's entry, with Gu Yuanbai's suspiciousness, he would definitely come to his door personally to see if Prince He was well-behaved.

But even if he knew that it would make Gu Yuanbai suspect him, he still refused the imperial physician s pulse, whether he had a ghost in his heart or was expecting that person to come to the door ...... and the Prince did not want to think about it.

The day before the imperial physician left the house he poured cold water late at night, just to deal with Gu Yuanbai's suspicions. As expected, Gu Yuanbai was that suspicious, and shortly after the imperial physician left, he went up to the door.

How could the Prince of Harmony, who knew Gu Yuanbai so well, not know how much Gu Yuanbai would be jealous of him if he dared to barge into the chambers?

But there was a fire burning again in his heart, a hideous ghost screaming, he had to take a look at that damned emperor, and without a look the Prince of Peace knew he would have no peace today.

The guards didn't dare to hurt the Prince, and the chief of the guards frowned with a stern face and said in a deep voice, "Prince of Peace, this is an imperial order."

The Prince of Harmony coldly said, "Even if he is punished this day, this king will still break in."

The two parties confronted each other, neither of them refusing to take a step back, the atmosphere was tense. The Prince of Harmony's gaze swept unkindly through these guards, and suddenly his eyes were certain as he frowned, "The son of General Xue's family?"

Xue Yuan hid in the shadows, the outline of his face hidden, as he slowly and methodically said, "I pay my respects to the Prince of Peace."

As soon as he saw the Xue family's people, Prince He was reminded of that rainy day, and his mouth also seemed to be flooded with deer blood, and his expression shifted constantly, shifting between anger and disgust, dumbfoundedness, and finally gradually becoming deeper and deeper.

"Your Highness must know that this is the Imperial Palace," Xue Yuan grinned a smile and politely advised, "His Majesty has just gone to sleep from exhaustion, if Your Highness moves a little bit more, I'm afraid that His Majesty will wake up."

The Prince of Harmony was silent for a while, and slowly said, ''His Majesty's dragon body is in a state of sickness, and those who are elder brothers will always worry about His Majesty's body. If you guys don't stop me, my movements won't be big. This king is loyal and will only look up to the saint."

The smile on Xue Yuan's face abruptly closed.

What the fuck are you looking at when they say people are sleeping in there?

The sound of footsteps came from inside the hall, and the little eunuch waiting beside His Holiness walked out, wondering, "His Holiness is awake, and asking what is the sound outside?"

The head guard blushed and lowered his head in shame.

The Prince of Harmony also could not help but be stunned, the little eunuch saw him and knew what was going on, and helplessly said, "Prince of Harmony, please follow the little one."

The hall was dim, only the doors and windows had light coming through, walking to the inner hall door, the little eunuch softly informed, "Your Holiness, it's the Prince of Harmony coming."

"Prince of Harmony?" The voice coming from the inner hall was hoarse, "What is the Prince of Harmony doing here in my place?"

The Prince of Harmony pursed his lips, "I heard that His Majesty was ill and came to visit him."

"So it is to visit me?" His Majesty's tone was not salty, "Those who don't know, would think that Prince He is trying to force the palace."

The Prince of Harmony was shocked in his heart, he flopped down on his knees, a cold sweat running down his back, "Your Holiness is joking."

Gu Yuanbai laughed silently and coldly twice as he sat up from the dragon bed and was helped out of the inner hall. The dragon boots crossed under his eyes, and the cold sweat on Prince He's forehead dipped between his temples.

Gu Yuanbai usually not much with the Prince and Prince, after all, are relatives, in one way or another, is a glory to glory a destruction of the relationship. 和亲王被他拘在京城也不是因为顾元白对和亲王这个人有恶意,先帝子嗣稀少,膝下正好是一嫡一长,顾元白对和亲王不能说很是信任,但他至少相信和亲王不是一个蠢人。

But now the Prince of Harmony, whom he considered not to be a stupid man, was trying to break into his chambers while he was asleep?

So, are we going to bring troops to break into his Xuanzheng Hall?

The eunuch served the medicine that had just been boiled, the bitter flavor spreading in the air, Gu Yuanbai drank the medicine, and only after finishing it did he say, "Rise."

The Prince of Harmony moved his arms and legs, and when he got up his legs were already a little stiff.

Gu Yuanbai let people give him a seat to reward tea, and Prince as usual is a burst of cattle drink, in the past can not taste half of the sweet taste of tea is now drinking up more feel bitter.

Gu Yuanbai saw this cow-drinking look on his face and laughed, "How does this tea taste?"

The Prince of Harmony lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, his eyes and nose watching, "It smells quite good."

"If Prince He likes it, take two tea cakes back," Gu Yuanbai smiled, "The water used to make the tea is still the water from the spring snow in February. The water used to make this tea is still the water from the spring snow in February. The snow is picked from the plum blossoms in early spring, and under the fine taste there is still a cold plum aroma, so the Prince of Peace might as well try it carefully."

The Prince of Harmony could not help but pick up the cup again and taste it carefully, but also really strange, previously felt bitter tea, this moment looked at the smile of the Holy Spirit, but also really tasted a few points of plum blossom sweetness.

Gu Yuanbai always give a slap and then give a sweet date, slap and sweet date are from the emperor, the vast majority of people will forget the slap and only moved to remember the sweet date. He spoke with the Prince of Peace for a while, and the Prince of Peace wisely took two tea cakes and retired, looking at the Prince of Peace's expression, it seems to be quite satisfied.

After sending away the Prince of Harmony, His Holiness sat still for a long time before rubbing his brow and calling out in a mute voice, "Zhang Xu."

The head guard walked over, "I am here."

"I have no strength in my legs and feet," Gu Yuanbai, "carry me to the inner hall."

Moyo's body was quite weak after taking a nap and then taking the medicine, and when Gu Yuanbai tried to stand up, he found that he couldn't make his legs work.

The head guard immediately squatted on the ground towards the saint revealing his broad back, "I obey the decree."

The head guard was tall and looked steady.

Gu Yuanbai looked at the head guard's broad back, his heart complex. But if, but if he had a stronger body, he could have practiced a beautiful and smooth muscle line by working out and running every day.

In modern times, Gu Yuanbai's body is also a tall and thin type, wearing clothes to be thin and taking off clothes to have meat. In his previous life, he had a healthy body with a big heart, and Gu Yuanbai liked to play some exciting extreme sports, but after arriving in this world, he could not do dangerous work, and even stepping on white jade with bare feet would cause wind chill.

But the identity of the little emperor brings another kind of mental stimulation. Gu Yuanbai had also wondered where the original body's little emperor had gone, whether he hadn't been able to withstand the illness and died, or whether he had swapped with him, and the little emperor had gone to him?

Gu Yuanbai hoped it was the latter.

If it was his body, then the little emperor could definitely have a good time.

Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand and had just put it on the head guard's shoulder when Xue Yuan suddenly said coldly, "Your Holiness, should I let me come?"

When Gu Yuanbai froze, Xue Yuan had already walked over, his spine tensed up, and he knelt on one knee next to the head guard.

His back was equally broad and strong, easily giving off a feeling of health and strength, and Gu Yuanbai didn't hesitate for long before withdrawing his hand and turning to rest it on Xue Yuan's body.

Firstly, Xue Yuan had hugged him once, and it was enough to throw a man at a man.

Secondly, the mad dog was going to take the initiative to carry someone, so Gu Yuanbai naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to make him do the hard work. It was best if Xue Yuan got used to contributing to his labor and offered him loyalty, and false loyalty was better than indifference.

Thirdly, the future regent had his back, and Gu Yuanbai's heart of a ruler inevitably rose with a few moments of conquering desire to be satisfied.

As soon as Gu Yuanbai got on Xue Yuan's back, Xue Yuan's entire body tensed up unaccustomedly, and he did his best to relax, smiling and saying, "Your Holiness, I'm going to get up."

Xue Yuan knew how valuable the little emperor was, and the last time he held him, it was more laborious than holding a tender flower. His strength could not be too big or too small, and his steps could not be too fast or too slow. Xue Yuan felt that this job was even more torturous than going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

This time, the little emperor was lying on his back, which was a little better than holding him in his arms, Xue Yuan easily stood up, and with his hands imprisoned on Gu Yuanbai's legs, he turned the little emperor upwards.

"Don't move!" Immediately, a rebuke came from the young emperor, "Be honest, be peaceful, and walk steadily for me."

Xue Yuan nodded his head squarely, his neck was covered with the hot breath between the little emperor's nostrils, he took a few steps forward with very steady steps, and when he glanced sideways, he saw the head of the guards standing in place and looking at him with a sullen face.

The corners of Xue Yuan's lips lifted, and he nodded towards the head guard in a seemingly friendly manner before turning his head.

The flavor of the Holy Spirit's body was drilling into Xue Yuan's nose, and the flesh in his palm was so soft that it sank deep from within his fingers. The Holy Spirit should still be concerned about the majesty of the world, hands loosely resting, half unwilling to touch Xue Yuan's flesh.

The little emperor doesn't like to be touched, and doesn't seem to like to touch others?

Xue Yuan had a bad heart and was about to walk to the door of the inner hall with the Emperor, when suddenly his feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground with Gu Yuanbai on his back!

Gu Yuanbai reflexively tightened his arms around Xue Yuan's neck, his face darkening slightly. After Xue Yuan stood up straight again, he smiled very insincerely and said, "Your Holiness, my foot just slipped."

Gu Yuanbai sneered a few times, "Since this place is slippery, then Servant Xue will wipe this place clean for me."

Xue Yuan grasped the man in his hand, "Your Holiness is joking."

Gu Yuanbai let out a light "heh" and was about to let go of his hand when he saw a eunuch staggering towards this side, and when he saw Gu Yuanbai, he was so anxious that he rolled around on the ground.

The eyelid of Gu Yuanbai's right eye suddenly jumped.

He straightened up and looked at the little eunuch, his face sinking.

The little eunuch ran to Gu Yuanbai with a face full of dirt and hot tears as he choked, "Your Holiness, Mrs. Wan's princely wife is dead!"

Gu Yuanbai was stunned, then he felt a rush of fire, he suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently, his entire body trembled, his coughing became more and more powerful, then a mouthful of hot blood flowed out of his mouth.

Sticky wet blood sprayed onto Xue Yuan's neck, the pupils of Xue Yuan's eyes clenched, his hands exerted force, he looked back sideways, the Holy Lord's lips were stained with blood, a color redder than rouge, while more blood, had stuck to his body.
