The owner of Hundred Flower Fragrance brought Gu Yuanbai and Xue Yuan to the room next to the Prince of Harmony.

Officials of the Daheng Dynasty are forbidden to enter and leave the pleasure grounds, so Gu Yuanbai naturally couldn't knowingly violate the law; he had his boss pick the path with the least number of people, and gave enough silver to let him come in quietly and go out again quietly.

The room here wasn't very large, decorated in a vulgar and frivolous manner, and Gu Yuanbai stood in the center and looked around, feeling that it didn't fit his aesthetic everywhere.

And the Prince is the left side of the room, and in the room against the left wall is a side of white gauze cheap wooden bed. The boss of Hundred Flowers Fragrance moved the cabinet at the end of the bed to one side, after the cabinet is a wooden fan, fan has several hollow places, just for the people in the room through the hollow places to see the opposite room situation.

The boss smiled and explained, "Honorable guest don't misunderstand, this thing is for breathable use, morning and evening smoked incense when the cabinet will be moved away, the aroma of each room that all through."

Gu Yuanbai nodded and let his boss retreat, waiting for the door to the room to close before he lifted his robe and sat down dashingly before the wooden fan.

Xue Yuan leisurely sat down behind him, remembering how delicate the little emperor was, his eyes lowered and glanced down at his buttocks.

"Cold ass?" Xue Yuan asked directly.

Gu Yuanbai had been in ancient times for three years, it was the first time he had heard someone beside him say such vulgar words, his eyelids jumped, "Shut up for me."

In the next room, the Prince of Harmony was sitting at the table, the boy beside him whispering, and soon there was a knock on the door of the room, and in came a few men from the Hundred Flowers.

Gu Yuanbai glanced at it and his brows abruptly tightened.

The Prince of Peace really likes men?

Those few men had their backs to Gu Yuanbai's direction, lined up as if they were choosing a concubine, and the Prince of He was blocked behind these people, unable to see how his complexion looked.

If you remember correctly, Gu Yuanbai clearly remembered that the Prince of Peace does not like men, but also especially dislike the capital gradually more and more of the Dragon Yang good.

Gu Yuanbai waited quietly for a while before the boy in the room said, "Turn around."

The group of men turned around, facing the wall, just in time for Gu Yuanbai to see what they looked like. These people's faces were clean, and among the clean faces there were a few that could be described as beautiful, Gu Yuanbai objectively commented, "Boys and girls."

Xue Yuan sniffed and looked at him.

Gu Yuanbai turned back keenly and narrowed his eyes, "Squire Xue has something to say?"

"I wouldn't dare," Xue Yuan falsely laughed, "His Holiness is right about everything."

It's fucking weird to see a guy with a great face say "boys and girls" to these herdsmen.

Gu Yuanbai turned his head and continued to look at the next door.

This close look, Gu Yuanbai saw the expression of the Prince of Harmony from amongst the crowd, the Prince of Harmony's expression was very wrong, there was both suppressed dislike and deep depression, his gaze sullenly looked at these heralds standing in front of him, and it could be seen that his mood wasn't very good.

Gu Yuanbai was puzzled, he thought for a while, got up and said, "Don't look at it, close it."

Xue Yuan followed suit and was about to move the cabinet when a gust of wind blew outside the window, wrapping the aroma of the courtyard and attacking the house. Gu Yuanbai was choked by the rough aroma, and he braced himself against the closet and started coughing violently.

The little emperor's coughing stance was so frightening that Xue Yuan instantly recalled the image of the day before when he coughed up his own blood. His face instantly changed, and he went forward and reached out, picking up the little emperor in a horizontal hug.

"Roll ...... cough," Gu Yuanbai said viciously, "You--"

Another long series of violent coughs.

"Shut up!" Xue Yuan's face was ugly, "Stay honest!"

He put Gu Yuanbai on the bed, and went to find towels and water, the big tall black shadow walked back and forth in the room, bringing up a gust of wind also mixed with a rushing aroma, Gu Yuanbai coughed uncomfortably, and intermittently said, "...... scent."

Xue Yuan stepped forward and closed the window. He looked at the bed again, and after taking the soaked towel and handkerchief up to the bed, he put down the bed net.

The bed was dim, the scent was finally cut off a bit, and Gu Yuanbai held onto the bed frame, bracing himself not to fall down.

This body was pampered and spoiled, the most delicate care of the country, the spices used are the top spices, and now smelled this inferior and irritating scent, so that Gu Yuanbai's full nose is only left in the flavor of the Hundred Flowers Scent.

Really, the more I live, the more I realize that it's not easy to live this long.

Xue Yuan took Gu Yuanbai in his arms and let him lie on his chest, taking a hand towel to wipe his face. Gu Yuanbai coughed muffledly, his thin chest constantly rising and falling, and in this dreary and narrow space, his weak coughing like this made people feel as if he would die the next moment.

Xue Yuan fiercely pressed down his eyebrows, shadily wrapping the little emperor in the quilt as he picked up the person and stepped out of the room with a sullen face.

Outside all kinds of honored guests and heralds towards Xue Yuan looked over the sight, Gu Yuanbai is still coughing in the quilt, the sound through the quilt after becoming dull, white bedding with coughing and slightly trembling, quilt front, there are a few strands of black hair hanging down.

Just these few strands of black hair and a layer of quilt make people think about it, and the quilt is trembling, is it not a beauty in fear?

A eunuch walked forward and stopped in front of Xue Yuan, specifically glancing towards the quilt and righteously saying, "This eunuch doesn't want to go with you, so how can you still roll someone up in a quilt and force them away?"

"Yes," exclaimed one of the honored guests on the other side of the room, "coercion is not practiced here, and coercion is not the work of a gentleman."

Xue Yuan sneered, his hostile aura could not be suppressed, "Get lost."

The rich male was scolded and turned red, and when he was about to say more, Xue Yuan ran out of patience and directly lifted his foot to kick on the male, and walked out in a sinister manner.

The people in the courtyard were stunned by him, the male who he kicked had fainted to the side, and Xue Yuan's steps were getting faster and faster, his face was very unpleasant.

Fuck him, the little emperor can't smell the scent and still go inside what?

Don't you know you're weak as hell?

Soon, Xue Yuan walked out of the courtyard door with a gloomy face, the outside of the street at the entrance of the alley was full of people, Xue Yuan held the little emperor and walked deeper into the alley, kicking away a few wild dogs before finding a place with no smell.

The bedding spread out, Gu Yuanbai leaned against the wall through the quilt, there was still some of that oddly rich scent in his nostrils, and with his strength depleted, he could only cough lowly. His voice was low, and his shoulders were shaking constantly, as weak as if his life signs were passing away.

The little emperor bent his back, his whitened fingers clutching the clothes he was wearing, and could only barely stand like this, with nothing around him to support him.

Xue Yuan quietly looked at him for a moment, his eyebrows shrugged, the corners of his mouth pressed down, and he took a step forward next to the little emperor, then placed the little emperor's whitened hand on his chest, letting him clutch his clothes.

"Show off," Xue Yuan snorted, "Shit."

Hundred-flower-scented yard.

The Prince of Harmony was in the middle of selecting people when he suddenly heard a coughing sound coming from next door, his heart jumped and he stood up instantly, his chest thumped within his chest, panicked and uneasy, waiting for a while before he calmed down and said to the boy, "Go next door and see what's in the room."

The boy went ahead to look and came back with a difficult face, "Master, there's no one next door."

No one?

The Prince of Harmony did not know what kind of mood he was in, he sat down in a worried manner, his face was sullen as he looked at the line of people lined up in front of him, and he had no interest in picking out people. After sitting for a while, he suddenly got up and walked out the door.

As soon as Prince He went out, he coincidentally bumped into Li Yan and Tang Mian who were walking side by side.

The two of them also saw the Prince of Harmony, panic flickering through them, Li Yan, the son of the Marquis of Pingchang, subconsciously put the painting in his hand behind his back, his eyes dodging, not daring to meet the Prince of Harmony's gaze.

The Prince of Harmony intuited that something wasn't right, he sank his face, "What are you doing here?"

Tang Mian was similarly caught off guard, he barely composed himself and replied, "Back to the words of the Prince of Harmony, the boy came to see the world with his worldly son."

"Seeing the world?" The Prince of Peace's sharp eyes looked at the painting they were trying to hide, "What is that?"

Tang Mian and Li Yan's complexion went white, both looking a bit scared and panicked.

The Prince of Peace snapped, "Come here!"

Tang Mian and Li Yan followed Prince He into the house, their faces had gone pale under Prince He's oppressive sight, but they still didn't dare to take the painting out.

If the Prince of Harmony finds out ...... If the Holy Lord finds out ......

Is it going to die?

The Prince of Harmony's patience was already running out, "This king will say it for the last time, bring out the stuff!"

This a stern voice completely scared the two not yet established crown of the boy, two people trembling in the hands of the painting put on the table, the boy to unfold one by one, and the Prince of the Prince came to the side, looked down, slightly stunned.

On the painting were two people with different looks, neither of whom the Prince of Harmony recognized, but on these two unfamiliar faces, the Prince of Harmony felt a sense of familiarity of déjà vu.

He looked at them for a long time before he raised his head with an inscrutable expression and looked deeply at Tang Mian and Li Yan, hiding murderous anger and rage in his words, "Get out of here for this king!"

Tang Mian and Li Yan subconsciously glanced at the painting before leaving with pale faces.

The Prince of Peace looked at the paintings on the table with increasing anger, he grabbed one of them to be torn, his hands trembled, but could not get down.

It was frozen in his hand, but he didn't have the strength to tear the painting apart.

The Prince of Harmony disheveledly threw the paintings away and whispered, "Take these two paintings back to the mansion and put them in my study."

Deep in the alley.

Only when the little emperor finally slowed down did Xue Yuan take a step back.

Although Gu Yuanbai was in a sorry state, he was still calm. He glanced at Xue Yuan, reached out and said in a muffled voice, "Pa."

Xue Yuan searched on himself and found a balled up paddle and gave it to him. Gu Yuanbai looked at the paddle in disgust, and Xue Yuan suppressed his anger, "It's not used."

Gu Yuanbai finished organizing himself, and then slowed down, pondering that the expression on his face should be normal, before he looked at Xue Yuan and slowly said, "I don't want a third person to know that I appeared here this morning."

Xue Yuan also said, "I also don't want others to know that I have entered the South Wind Pavilion."

Shame on you.

Gu Yuanbai revealed a satisfied look, "Very good."

The side of the hanky that the saint had finished using was casually thrown aside, and Xue Yuan inexplicably looked at it twice and turned his eyes away.

The two walked out of the alleyway one after the other, only to realize that in addition to the South Wind Pavilion, there were also several Qin Lou Chu Pavilions in this place.

When they passed by the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, the sound of playful laughter was still coming from inside, and a female voice laughed delicately, "Sister Chu Chu has been chanted by those scholars over the Luo Shen Fu, and I don't know how many people want to eat the rouge on Sister Chu Chu's lips."

Xue Yuan heard the words and casually asked, "Your Holiness, have you ever eaten rouge on a woman's lips?"

Gu Yuanbai: "......"

Solid.

Gu Yuanbai smiled faintly, "Has Servant Xue eaten again?"

"No," Xue Yuan's lips hooked, seemingly disdainful and like courteous, "Your Holiness, I do not have the fetish of eating other people's rouge."

Gu Yuanbai: "It just so happens that I don't have one either."

Xue Yuan said, "It is said that Luo Shen is beautiful, does Your Majesty think Luo Shen is beautiful?"

Gu Yuanbai smiled at his words, he glanced sideways at Xue Yuan, the curved corners of his lips hiding a powerful confidence and confidence, the saint said, "If Luo Shen is any more beautiful, is it as beautiful as my picturesque rivers and mountains?"

Xue Yuan looked at his confident and flourishing smile and suddenly felt as if his chest jumped two times faster.
