I don't want to play anymore

The matter was arranged by Long Yanzhao, and it was quickly arranged in an orderly manner.

The young master did not disappoint the emperor, and the progress was surprisingly smooth.

In less than a day's time, he took back the land deed of the Juren family, and followed Long Yanzhao's instructions to deliberately make this matter a big deal.

Invasion of land is an appalling and major case, and it is very easy to arouse public indignation.

And because the dispute happened in the outskirts of the capital city, at the foot of the emperor, and the person concerned was still a noble young prince, no one could handle it, even if he wanted to press the matter down.

So this matter quickly got out of control. Not only did everyone know that some dudes in Beijing were despicable, abused their power, and cooperated with the government to seize the land, this matter also quickly "spread" into the ears of the emperor.

The Ninth Five-Year Lord was so enraged that Xu Zhi's nephew Xu Hongsheng was arrested and sent to prison, and several officials of the state government were held accountable, which directly caused an uproar among the ruling and opposition parties!

For several days in a row, there was a bloodbath between the court and China.

Taking advantage of the victory, the emperor pursued and cut off many of Gu Yuanjin's eyes and ears in Beijing.

Xu Zhi was also implicated in many crimes committed by his nephew, and is being dismissed and investigated.

Gu Yuanjin once again lost a strong general, and in the past few days, they have been arguing endlessly over who should be the commander of the imperial guards.

After quarreling and quarreling, it was finally decided that Huo Linping, the former deputy commander of the imperial guards, would be the commander of the imperial guards.

In Gu Yuanjin's study, the regent walked up and down violently.

Suddenly, he walked in front of Gu Jingyuan, with a condescending attitude: "Why did the young master have a relationship with that kid from the Yang family? Why did this happen for no reason?!"

On that day, Zhuo Yangqing directly brought more than [-] guards, and also found many local gentry and prominent families, went directly to the Juren's house, visited the neighbors around, inspected the truth, and collected evidence.

When Gu Shenming and Xu Zhi's nephew heard the news and rushed over, they were stopped by the twenty-odd guards on the spot. The streets and alleys of the capital are talking about this matter.

It is so well prepared and the result of such a coincidence, it is impossible to say that it was not arranged in advance.

Gu Yuanjin is not stupid for losing power one after another in recent days, so he can naturally think that the mastermind behind this scene is the emperor.

But he wanted to know what role Gu Jingyuan played in this series of events.

Gu Jingyuan's expression was as usual, and he said the pre-arranged speech: "Little Hou Ye and Second Young Master Yang both like listening to books and drinking tea, and I heard that they got acquainted together in the teahouse."

Gu Yuanjin looked at him with cold gaze, which was full of suspicion.

Although Zhuo Yangqing's father was the King of Guangping with millions of soldiers, but the young master was in the capital, and the only one he could rely on was the little emperor.

Even if he had a personal relationship with Second Young Master Yang and wanted to make a fuss, the emperor would definitely be involved in this matter.

What's more, the Yang family is still on the little emperor's side!

In fact, such a detailed plan, Gu Yuanjin doesn't think that a young master who has never been involved in government affairs can think of it.

……

"So, Ah Yuan didn't know about this beforehand?" Gu Yuanjin looked at him with extremely stern eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Jingyuan replied decisively: "My son really doesn't know."

"In this way, the emperor's methods are indeed high, and even Ah Yuan can be kept in the dark by him." Gu Yuanjin said quietly.

Gu Jingyuan knelt directly on the ground, lowered his head and said, "It's my son who is not doing his job well, please punish him by the adoptive father."

Gu Yuanjin didn't say anything, just looked at him silently for a long time.

It is enough for the emperor to give Zhuo Yangqing a few orders for this matter, and there is no need for any major actions. If Long Yanzhao wants to avoid Gu Jingyuan, he can do it.

Therefore, he could not be sure whether the young man knew about this in advance and whether he had betrayed him.

But it didn't matter, because he didn't believe in Gu Jingyuan at all.

He was still angry at Gu Jingyuan's uselessness.

"Get up." Gu Yuanjin said: "Fortunately, you strongly recommended the emperor to appoint Huo Linping this time, so we are not all defeated."

"Yes." Gu Jingyuan stood up as he said, and the regent said again: "But the emperor still refuses to believe you, Ah Yuan...you have to think about the reason yourself."

"...Yes." Gu Jingyuan lowered his eyes.

"Also." The old fox's eyes brightened again, "Don't forget why you took refuge in me at the beginning. Yang Jin died because of someone."

Gu Jingyuan's eyes trembled, as if struck by thunder, and even his face turned pale.

When he came out of Gu Yuanjin's study, his face was still pale, and he looked a little lost.

"Yo, isn't this Master Gu?"

Gu Shenming appeared from an inconspicuous place, shaking a folding fan in his hand, with an insignificant look on his face.

Especially with the wounds on his face, he looked like a local hooligan, even a suit of brocade clothes could not conceal the vulgarity on his expression.

"Just finished being scolded by my father?"

He blocked Gu Jingyuan's way with his fan, and the young man's unwillingness to argue with him aroused his inner anger.

He and Xu Hongsheng just fancy a piece of land and want to buy it to build a villa.

Unexpectedly, the scholar admitted his death, saying that it was his family's ancestral property, and he was unwilling to sell it anyway.

Gu Shenming hated people who toasted and refused to eat fine wine, so he simply made a small move and directly allocated the land of the farm and house, and took it as his own.

It wasn't the first time he had done this, and he didn't think it was a big deal at all, nor did he think it would be so serious.

Fortunately, Xu Hongsheng was the mastermind of that incident...

When he realized that something was wrong, he tried his best to shirk responsibility, implying that Xu Hongsheng carried it alone, and he was not involved in the end.

But even so, Gu Shenming was scolded severely by his father, almost not being punished by the family law!

Gu Shenming was wronged and hated at first, what's more, when he heard the news and ran to argue with Zhuo Yangqing that day, he was beaten up by the other party, and now his face is still wounded!

Zhuo Yangqing hit him, so he couldn't fight back.But seeing Gu Jingyuan now, thinking of his close relationship with Yang Lin, I always feel that Gu Jingyuan is also involved in this matter, and I really want to take this anger on the young man.

But even if he was angry in his heart, Gu Shenming would not be so stupid as to mess around at the door of his father's study after getting into trouble this time.

He said with a low smile: "Gu Jingyuan, I want to see how noble you can be. Then don't cry and beg me to take you in."

After Gu Shenming left, Gu Jingyuan walked into the garden alone.

His back was still straight, but his face was extremely pale. In the cold wind and cold moon, he supported the rockery and leaned directly on it.

nausea.

Nausea.

A little nauseous.

Gu Jingyuan gasped heavily.

it's nothing.

He just doesn't like lying much.

Even though power-playing was nothing more than normal, he still felt sick sometimes.

The room that Gu Yuan entered just now was a bit hot, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body, but now that he was hit by the cold wind, he felt much refreshed.

He just leaned there, rested for a long time, and finally felt better.

It's just a little cold again.

After his breath calmed down completely, Gu Jingyuan straightened his waist again, closed his eyes, and said to the darkness around him, "Come out."

There was no reaction around.

Gu Jingyuan had no choice but to say: "I know you are here, Ying Er."

At this time, a black shadow descended from the sky, and landed in front of Gu Jingyuan silently.

Wearing black clothes and a black mask, he couldn't see his face clearly.It can only be seen that it is a tall man.

Gu Jingyuan casually raised his hand and touched the pine branches beside him: "Your Majesty sent you here?"

A thick male voice sounded: "Your Majesty is worried that Mr. Gu will be embarrassed."

"Since that's the case, I'm already fine, why don't I leave?" Gu Jingyuan asked.

The male voice paused for a moment, and asked an irrelevant answer: "Master Gu is a very free and easy person, why must he participate in this political struggle and make things difficult for himself?"

Gu Jingyuan said: "This is my business."

But the male voice said: "You can act in every situation, and you have to endure a lot of harassment, Mr. Gu, you..."

"Shadow Two." Gu Jingyuan interrupted him abruptly.

He blinked, all emotions were buried in those black and white eyes, Gu Jingyuan turned and left.

But Ying Er refused to let go, and said behind his back: "I only know that if Ying Yi is alive in the sky, I don't want to see you force yourself like this..."

In the cold night, Gu Jingyuan tightly held a handful of pine needles in his hand.

The rough and sharp branches and leaves sank into the palm little by little, and bright red and mottled liquid oozed out of the palm, but Gu Jingyuan didn't notice it at all.

Reluctantly?

Not too much.

At least he still has a wish to fulfill in this world.

It seemed to be such a cold winter, and the handsome young man in armor asked him what was the wish he most wanted to realize.

At that time, Gu Jingyuan's wish was to hope that his father would not spoil his younger brother alone, and not abandon him.

But that is obviously a luxury, not a wish.

So he also asked the young man what he wanted most.

He remembered that the other party's answer was...

Gu Jingyuan's thin lips parted slightly, and his tone was stubborn and indifferent: "Don't reveal to Your Majesty... the matter between me and Yang Jin."

With that said, he stepped out of the yard.

His back was as thin as paper, and the young man's gait was a little wobbly.

Like it could disappear at any moment.

While walking, Gu Jingyuan looked up at the sky.

That day was endless, deep and dark, with a few dim stars flickering indistinctly.

The starlight became a little bumpy with his steps, Gu Jingyuan breathed on them, and gently pulled the corners of his lips.

Just a second.

will be soon.

I'll be out of here soon.

In the middle of the night, Gu Jingyuan was carried into the palace by a soft sedan chair.

When Long Yanzhao sent someone to pick him up, he was reading a book, and after receiving His Majesty's oral order, he simply sorted it out.

Generally, the emperor summoned him into the palace at such a late hour, probably not because he had any state affairs to discuss, but because he simply wanted it.

The emperor is young and vigorous, and his body is stronger than ordinary people, so his needs are always greater.

Now he was wearing a bright red uniform with a high waist, which made his figure even more tall and straight, and his face was as white as jade.

It made people's eyes brighten when they saw it.

Even the Ninth Five Lord could not help showing a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he waved to Gu Jingyuan: "Come here."

Gu Jingyuan walked up to him according to his words, but the emperor grabbed his waist.

Long Yanzhao looked at him charmingly: "Do you want to seduce me by dressing like this? Huh?"

Gu Jingyuan looked down at his clothes.

Now this is the same clothes as he used to wear, the emperor must have seen it hundreds of times... He expected that the clothes would be stripped off anyway, he didn't change the court clothes before entering the palace, he was too lazy to change.

Moreover, he seemed to have caught a cold in Gu's residence just now, and he was still a little uncomfortable at the moment, but he didn't really want to...

Sitting on Long Yanzhao's lap, Gu Jingyuan chose the latter between explaining that he was not feeling well or saying nothing and directly satisfying the emperor.

He silently waited for the other party's action, but he didn't expect that Long Yanzhao just adjusted his sitting posture, and ordered someone to come over with a bowl of ginseng soup.

"I heard people say you're not feeling well?" Long Yanzhao put one arm around his waist, and picked up the bowl of soup with the other, "Drink it."

Gu Jingyuan was taken aback for a moment, but obediently took it with both hands, and drank it honestly.

Ginseng soup was added with sliced ​​ginger. He didn't like the taste, but he drank it all under Long Yanzhao's watchful eyes.

The ground dragon in the house was very hot, after a bowl of ginseng soup, Gu Jingyuan sweated again, and the cold in the yard at night seemed to be forced out.

But Gu Jingyuan felt even more uncomfortable because his body was sticky.

He said, "Your Majesty, I want to take a bath."

"Go." Long Yanzhao let out an inexplicable laugh, calling for someone to prepare water.

When Gu Jingyuan took a bath and came back covered in steam, Long Yanzhao directly stuffed him onto the dragon bed and covered him with a quilt.

"?"

Opening a pair of peach blossom eyes with red tails, Gu Jingyuan looked at the emperor puzzled.

Ninety-five Lord's breath stagnates.

He listened to Ying Er to report today's situation, and learned that Gu Jingyuan seemed to be unwell, afraid that he would not be able to take care of himself, and wanted to put others by his side to watch.

Originally, he just wanted to care about his little loyal minister.

did not expect……

Long Yanzhao laughed angrily: "I am so hungry and thirsty in your eyes? Besides, am I such an idiot? Don't look, go to sleep."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to cover Gu Jingyuan's eyes.

If he is watched again, the fire will really be ignited, and then he will be a veritable faint king who acts as a courtier!

Although, under the palm hanging in the air, Gu Jingyuan's eyes were still blinking crazily.

The eyelashes brushed his palm like a small brush, making it unbearably itchy for no reason, wanting to ruthlessly...

"Gu Jingyuan." The young emperor's vicious voice came from the bedroom: "If you tease me again, I will kill you."
