After instructing the inner chamberlain to imprison the two in the cold palace, the emperor leaned on the side of the bed tiredly, and his eyebrows were full of sadness.

Seeing him like this, Gu Mingyuan said respectfully: "Father, take a good rest first, and the sons will retire first." ”

Hearing this, the emperor stopped him, because he said: "Don't leave yet, talk to me." ”

After this incident, the emperor felt that he was almost ten years old.

Seeing the tired appearance of the emperor, Gu Mingyuan stopped, handed him a cup of tea, and said, "Father and emperor haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so you still have to pay more attention to your body." You are in the prime of spring and autumn, but you must not be so careless about yourself. ”

Hearing Gu Mingyuan's words, the emperor laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "If they are all as sensible as you, why should I be like this?"

When he said this, he said, "The matter of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has wronged your husband and wife. Your body has always been weak, and I will ask you to select some medicinal supplements and send them to the Huai'an Palace. Although you are young, your body is indeed too bad. ”

In the emperor's memory, Gu Mingyuan took medicine from the time he knew how to eat, and he never stopped it all these years. Previously, the imperial physician had asserted that his body was afraid that he would not live too long, and the emperor was still very worried at that time, but fortunately, although he was not very healthy in these years, it did not reach the point of being really scary.

No matter what he said now, even if he didn't like Qin Huaiyu, in the end, it was the princess that Gu Mingyuan was marrying, and the two of them could be married and happy, even if he didn't feel very comfortable, he didn't want to interfere too much.

After all...... The son is already like this, he can be a little happy, and it is nothing for the emperor to feel uncomfortable.

So this time he wronged Qin Huaiyu, and the emperor also apologized in disguise.

He is the emperor, and it is impossible to say too straightforward to apologize, which can already be regarded as a softness.

Of course, Gu Mingyuan understood this, so he said, "Thank you, father." ”

He knew what the emperor meant, so he didn't refuse, in fact, he accepted the emperor's overture.

Seeing that his son's expression was still faint, the emperor sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

On the contrary, it was Gu Mingyuan who spoke first: "The matter has been investigated so far, although it is not what Erchen wants, but the people involved are all from the harem, so Erchen can't investigate any further." ”

At least, you can't look it up again. Otherwise, a son went to investigate his father's concubines, and it would be a scandal for this to spread.

The emperor naturally understood this truth, because he nodded and said: "I know, don't worry, I will take over this matter to investigate, and I will definitely return your husband and wife to a clean slate." ”

When he said this, he paused and said: "You don't have to enter the palace these days, now it's the New Year, you also go back to have a good rest, these two days have also worked hard for you." ”

Even Gu Mingyuan didn't say it, next, the emperor himself had to take over. After all, it involves the secrets of the palace, but let the son look at it, what are you like?

Hearing the emperor's words of concern, Gu Mingyuan nodded and thanked him, but he was not too touched in his heart.

In the final analysis, although there is also a father-son relationship between him and the emperor, he is first and foremost a monarch and a minister.

Over the years, although the emperor loves him because of the relationship between the former empress, but when you count it seriously, the father and son do not have much intersection.

Rao is like this, compared with other brothers, Gu Mingyuan has to admit that the emperor is good to him.

Gu Mingyuan sighed in his heart, probably the royal family affection was like this.

It's not that I don't love it, it's just that some family relationships are separated from each other, so people don't want to touch them so much.

Seeing that the emperor looked a little sleepy, he got up and said, "Father, rest the emperor, and the sons will retire first." ”

Seeing that Gu Mingyuan was leaving, the emperor had the intention to keep his son to talk for a while, but he yawned first, and finally nodded: "It's okay, you go back first, and you can rest for a few days." ”

Gu Mingyuan saluted in response, turned around and was about to leave.

Just as the inner chamberlain walked in from the outside, he saluted respectfully and said, "Greetings to the King of Huai'an." ”

The inner chamberlain came in to change the spices for the emperor, and the previous spices burned out, and there was nothing else in the hall except for the cold wind.

Gu Mingyuan waved his hand casually, but the moment he stepped out of the palace gate, he retracted his footsteps.

"What kind of incense is this?"

Hearing Gu Mingyuan's words, the inner eunuch hurriedly replied: "Back to King Huai'an, this is Su Hexiang who paid tribute." ”

The emperor was about to sleep with his eyes closed, but when he heard his words, he also opened his eyes and asked, "But what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan walked over by himself, rubbed the incense ash with his fingers, smelled it, and shook his head again: "That's not true, it's just that this incense is calm and condensed, it should have been put in the imperial study, it helps to calm the mind, and it is not easy to fall asleep when it is placed in the dormitory." ”

When the emperor saw his expression before, he thought there was something wrong, but when he heard this, he immediately waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, I also thought that this fragrance could allow me to concentrate my energy, and it would be fine to put it in the dormitory and the imperial study." ”

When he said this, he smiled again and said, "After all, I am old, and I don't want to sleep, so if I put it in the dormitory, I will be in good spirits, and I will be able to read a few more books." ”

Looking at the kings of Western Chu, the emperor did not dare to say that he was the most outstanding, but he was definitely the one who was diligent and loved the people.

Hearing the emperor's words, Gu Mingyuan felt a little inappropriate in his heart, but the incense was indeed fine.

He thought about it, and finally said: "Even so, my father should also pay attention to it, these things are auxiliary, and they should not be relied on too much." ”

No matter what kind of incense it is, once it makes people dependent, it is not far from being able to discard.

After all, there are other things in them.

Gu Mingyuan thought in his heart, but nothing appeared on his face.

The emperor only thought that he was doing it for his own good, so he smiled and nodded, "What you said is that I just thought that the smell was pleasant and my heart was calm. However, people are not iron-clad, and they should be used less on another day. ”

If others interfered with him like this, the emperor would have been angry a long time ago, but this person was Gu Mingyuan, and he felt very useful in his heart.

In fact, the emperor didn't use much spices at first, but later he accidentally smelled it, felt that his headache was relieved, and his mood was much more comfortable, so he gradually began to use it.

When Gu Mingyuan was by his side, the emperor had a bad temper and suppressed his anger, so he didn't see anything.

But in fact, the chamberlains and eunuchs in the palace all know that the emperor's temper has been much worse than before recently, and he is irritable from time to time, and his anger comes out of nowhere.

Gu Mingyuan didn't know this, and when he heard the emperor's words, he just responded, and then saluted the emperor and said goodbye, and then turned around and left.

After Gu Mingyuan left, the emperor didn't know what to think of, and sighed.

The fragrance of Su He rose up, and his mood gradually calmed down, but his spirit also improved a lot.

The emperor remembered Gu Mingyuan's words, so he simply asked the palace people to blow out the incense, and then slowly fell asleep.

......

When Gu Mingyuan went out, it was already almost dawn outside.

The north wind was howling, like a knife blowing on his face, but Gu Mingyuan walked forward with a frown as if he didn't feel it at all.

A red-clothed inner eunuch quietly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Lord, there is a commotion over there in the cold palace, saying that I want to see you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan's footsteps paused slightly, and asked, "See me?"

The inner eunuch nodded lightly, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he continued: "Those two have been locked up alone, but Jieyu ...... The Qin family refused to stop, and bluntly said that he knew a big secret, saying that he wanted to see the princess. also said that if she didn't go, she would regret it. ”

"What else did she say?"

For that Qin Hongmiao, Gu Mingyuan didn't have any good feelings at all. Especially the successive events made him extremely disgusted with the other party.

Now she also mentioned Qin Huaiyu, which made Gu Mingyuan feel that this woman was afraid that she was sick.

"Then tell her to go to hell with your secrets. ”

His words came mixed with the north wind, which made the little eunuch tremble, and the tone of his own master was really terrible!

And Gu Mingyuan has already gone far.

Growing so big, he hasn't been threatened by anyone.

As for this Qin Hongmiao, she is also worthy?

......

When I returned to Huai'an Palace, the sky was completely bright.

Qin Huaiyu fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night, but I don't know if it was because she was used to Gu Mingyuan by her side, he was not at home, and she didn't even sleep well.

When she woke up from her dream again, she saw that Gu Mingyuan had already sat beside her at some point.

"Lord Wang, when did you come back?"

She had just woken up, still with a bit of hazy softness.

Gu Mingyuan heard her voice, couldn't help but chuckle, stretched out his hand and touched her head, and said softly: "I just came back, and I was about to lie down for a while." It's still early, will you sleep a little longer?"

There was still a slight coolness in his palm, which made Qin Huaiyu shrink, and instead held his hand warm, and he moved inside, saying, "Then what are you still sitting for, come up and rest." ”

Her undisguised concern swept away all the gloom in Gu Mingyuan's heart, and she softened her voice, removed her outer robe, and simply pulled open another futon for fear that the cool air on her body would give Qin Huaiyu too much, and lay down beside her.

"Sleep. ”

His voice carried a soothing magic, making Qin Huaiyu obediently close his eyes, lie beside him, and fall into a deep sleep.

This time, there was no more chaos in the dream, and it was all safe and peaceful.

When I woke up again, it was already three poles of the sun.

Gu Mingyuan was still asleep, Qin Huaiyu yawned, looked at it even more, and saw that it was close to noon, but it was rare to be a little willful, relying on Gu Mingyuan's side, unwilling to get up.
