Gu Guanning, who is "good at admonishing", still "persuaded" the Son of Heaven who intended to stay up all night.

Xiao Xu was indeed very tired, and after a little freshening up, he hugged Gu Wanning and fell asleep.

I don't know what kind of nightmare he had, he suddenly tightened his brow, and his mouth was muffled from time to time. Cold sweat gradually oozed from his forehead.

Gu Wanning was awakened by his whispering, opened his eyes, and what came into his eyes was Xiao Xu's face full of pain and self-blame, and his heart tightened.

This sudden and unexpected battle made Xiao Xu very remorseful. The soldiers who died in battle and the innocent civilians who died in vain made him feel extremely guilty.

He even blamed himself for all this. That's why I can't sleep at night these days.

Gu Wanning sighed quietly, half-sat up straight, and put his head into his arms. Reaching out and caressing his hair, she whispered in his ear: "Xiao Xu, sleep in peace! I will always be here with you." ”

She repeated these words over and over again.

The gentle and firm voice kept echoing in the ears, driving away the boundless darkness and coldness.

Xiao Xu's brows were gradually smoothed, and he subconsciously buried his head in the soft warmth he was most familiar with, and fell asleep.

……

Xiao Xu didn't know how long he had been asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.

Sunlight shines in and illuminates the room.

The Funing Hall is the place where the Son of Heaven deals with political affairs, and naturally there is also a bedroom for rest. These days, Xiao Xu has been staying here. I just haven't slept well.

For the past few days, he has had nightmares. When you wake up from a nightmare, you will stay awake until dawn. The spirit has also been extremely tense.

A rare night's sleep swept away the fatigue of the past few days, and his spirit suddenly improved a lot.

He raised his head in Gu Wanning's arms, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Didn't you sleep all night?"

Gu Wanning's eyes were a little bloodshot, but his eyes were still clear and clear, and he pursed his lips slightly and smiled: "It's okay, I'm in good spirits." How are you feeling right now?"

She stayed up all night, of course, to soothe him in his nightmares.

Xiao Xu's heart was hot and rising, and the hot tide of love was surging endlessly in his heart. The feelings were so strong that I couldn't say anything.

He sat up straight and took her into his arms: "What time is it? Why didn't anyone come and tell me to get up and go to the court?"

On weekdays, it is the little nobleman who comes to call the door.

Gu Guanning said lightly: "He came to knock on the door and was chased away by me." After that, I didn't dare to come back. ”

Xiao Xu: "......"

Xiao Xu laughed a few times.

The noble father-in-law, who was proud and majestic outside, immediately became a docile little sheep in front of Gu Wanning.

If the little noble son is here, he has to say a few words in his heart.

The emperor is embarrassed to say that he is a slave?

……

The little noble son loyally stood outside the door.

The chamberlain came to urge a few times: "Your father-in-law, the old Cui Ge of the Wang Pavilion asked people to ask, when will the emperor go to court?"

They were all blocked back by the little nobleman expressionlessly: "The emperor is tired for days, and he wants to rest for a while today, please wait a while." ”

This is more than an hour, and it seems that the time has passed.

There was finally movement in the door: "Little nobleman, come in." ”

Xiao Guizi was in good spirits and immediately pushed the door in.

Gu Wanning had already dressed up, Xiao Xu was also dressed neatly, and his handsome face had a long-lost look: "Wait for me to freshen up, and I will go to the court." ”

Xiao Guizi responded with a busy smile, and felt happy in his heart.

These days, Xiao Xu is calm and normal in front of people, but in fact, he is exhausted and has trouble sleeping. The whole person is rapidly emaciating at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. The little noble son saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, but helpless.

Or the queen has a way, come over overnight, and let the emperor's spirit fly as usual.

The little noble son immediately went out and summoned the attendants into the temple to serve the Son of Heaven to freshen up.

When it was time to comb his hair, Xiao Xu didn't let the waiter do it, but looked at Gu Wanning: "A-Ning, you come and comb my hair." ”

Attendants: "......"

All the attendants twitched the corners of their mouths in unison, with an expression that they couldn't bear to witness, and turned their heads away.

The dignified son of heaven, majestic, and intimidating the ministers. As soon as I arrived in front of the queen mother, it was like a different person.

The little nobleman had long been used to it, and he didn't blink his eyes, and calmly sent the comb in his hand to the queen's mother.

Gu Wanning glanced at Xiao Xu with disgust.

I don't know how to converge in front of people, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes.

Xiao Xu was sure that Gu Wanning would be soft-hearted, and winked at her and grinned.

Gu Guanning was really soft on the outside and soft on the inside, and silently took the comb and combed Xiao Xu's hair.

She had never done such a thing, and she didn't know how important it was, and she accidentally tore a few hairs.

Xiao Xu hadn't screamed in pain yet, but Xiao Guizi couldn't help it, coughed and said, "Please be merciful." Don't pull the emperor's dragon hair. ”

Gu Guanning: "......"

Xiao Xu: "......"

Dragon hair or something, it sounds weird and ridiculous.

Gu Wanning couldn't help laughing, his eyes were full of smiles.

Xiao Xu glared at the troublesome little nobleman: "Noisy! A-Ning can pull a few if he wants, what are you talking about." Don't retreat yet. ”

The loyal little nobleman stepped aside with a look of grievance. Then I watched Gu Guanning continue to comb her hair indistinctly, and I don't know how many dragon hairs she pulled during the period.

However, Xiao Xu didn't feel any pain at all, nor did he have the anger of Long Yan being provoked and violated, and looked at Gu Wanning in the bronze mirror from time to time, which simply blinded everyone's eyes.

……

Xiao Xu went to the court, and Gu Wanning returned to the Jiaofang Palace.

Seeing that Gu Wanning's eyes were bloodshot, Linlang was quite distressed, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't Niangniang sleep all night?" Anyway, there is nothing big in the palace today, why don't you sleep for a while?"

It's good.

Gu Guanning nodded.

Unfortunately, after sleeping for less than half an hour, I was awakened by the sudden bad news.

"Niangniang," Linglong's trembling and anxious voice sounded in her ears: "Niangniang, the slave has an urgent report." ”

Gu Wanning was still a little confused, and opened his eyes to look at Linglong: "What's the urgency?"

Linglong's face was strangely pale, her lips trembled a few times, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it. Tears welled up in my eyes.

Gu Wanning's heart sank.

Linglong is lively and playful on weekdays, and she also smiles when she is not smiling. Now this sky-shattering expression is enough to prove that it is a really big deal.

"What the hell is going on?" Gu Wanning sat up straight, and his voice sank a little: "Don't panic, speak slowly." ”

Linglong bit her lip hard, her eyes flashed with water, and she choked up: "The emperor just ordered someone to deliver the letter." It was said that it was an urgent report sent by the border pass, and when the Marquis of Dingbei led the troops to fight, he was shot an arrow from behind by a traitor hidden in the army, and he died on the spot......"
