I don't want to play anymore

After tossing and tossing for most of the night, Master Gu's fever finally subsided, and it was no longer hot.

Before the others woke up, Long Yanzhao unilaterally gave him a holiday, and the Ninth Five-Year Lord hurried back to the palace early in the morning to go to the morning court.

After only sleeping for an hour or two, the emperor's complexion is quite bad today.

Mainly, I was a little restless in my thoughts, and my mind accidentally flew to Gu Jingyuan's place. I always felt that the morning court without Mr. Gu standing below was a bit less interesting.

Finally at the next court, Long Yanzhao changed his clothes again and went out of the palace to see Gu Jingyuan.

The simple thing is that there are no major affairs in the DPRK these days, and he has never delayed the things that should be dealt with, so he can find some free time now.

When Long Yanzhao arrived, Gu Jingyuan had already woken up and was sitting in the room reading a book to pass the time.

Seeing the emperor directly pushing the door and coming in, he quickly put down the book in his hand and saluted Long Yanzhao.

"Get up, don't get off the ground." Long Yanzhao hurried over to help him, and pushed him back before Gu Jingyuan got out of bed.

Gu Jingyuan covered the quilt obediently, looked at the sky outside, and asked him: "Is the emperor going down now?"

"Nothing to do today." Long Yanzhao asked him back: "How is Ah Yuan feeling? Did you eat anything in the morning? Did you take your medicine?"

Gu Jingyuan nodded slightly and said: "The minister is already well, please worry about your majesty."

"All right?"

Long Yanzhao touched his forehead, and it was indeed not burning anymore, but Mr. Gu's complexion was still pale, and his expression was very haggard, it was obvious that he was still not fully recovered.

Gu Jingyuan said honestly: "The minister will recover after two days of recuperation. Your Majesty, you should return to the palace to deal with government affairs first."

"Not busy." Long Yanzhao said: "It doesn't have to be in the palace to deal with government affairs, I just ask someone to pack the memorial."

"..." Gu Jingyuan's handsome brows lightly frowned, "How can Jiangshan Sheji be a joke? Besides..."

Besides, the emperor not only transferred many maids and eunuchs from the palace yesterday, but also alarmed the imperial hospital twice, and their behavior is still so intimate...

Now Gu Jingyuan knows what people outside are talking about without going out of the room.

He even found that the servants in his house looked at him differently today... I really feel embarrassed when I think about it.

On the other hand, the Ninth Five-Year Master was criticized by Mr. Gu, but he was not annoyed at all.

He took the apples on the table, took out the exquisite dagger that he carried with him, poured hot tea to rinse it off, and began to peel the apples slowly.

Knowing what Ah Yuan was struggling with, Long Yanzhao chuckled lightly and said, "Other people said that you are a charming lord, Mr. Gu, just laughed it off and didn't care at all. Why, I just called the imperial physician twice for you, so I'm embarrassed?"

The emperor with a gloomy face turned upside down and became lively again at this moment. He looked at Gu Jingyuan with a pair of dark eyes, with a little smile inside, looking bright and gorgeous.

Gu Jingyuan looked at him and lowered his eyes, and just whispered: "There is still a difference."

He heard the delicate sound of the emperor peeling an apple, he pursed his lips a little, but he didn't explain it after all.

Instead, it was Long Yanzhao who said: "I know that it's not true that others say you are in love with me, so Mr. Gu doesn't care. But what happened last night...you are worried that I really dote on you so much that you don't know how to measure it, right? ?”

Gu Jingyuan: "..."

Doting or something... The emperor's words were so explicit that Gu Jingyuan didn't know how to respond.

Although he is indeed worried about this.

The emperor's loud laughter came again: "Don't worry, I'm not a foolish emperor. Mr. Gu, you are the star of our day, and besides, you looked too scary like that yesterday. I will do the same when I see you.”

When Long Yanzhao said this, he paused for a while, and suddenly regretted why he said that...

Isn't this pushing Ah Yuan out again for nothing?

Ah Yuan is so seriously ill, he should say a few words of his own.

Especially compared with other ministers, Mr. Gu is actually really different.

So the Ninth Five-Year Lord hurriedly continued to add: "Of course, don't even think about feeding the soup with my own hands."

"It's absolutely impossible to sleep with him."

As for those who were filmed and sang to sleep in the middle of the night, in broad daylight, no matter how thick-skinned Long Yanzhao was, he was too embarrassed to mention it later.

He is still the emperor after all.

The emperor always wants face.

Fortunately, Gu Jingyuan's complexion really improved a lot, and his expression became more relaxed.

Long Yanzhao felt his heart soar. After peeling the apple, he automatically cut it into small pieces and fed them to Gu Jingyuan one by one.

Although Gu Jingyuan is not very comfortable today, it is not as serious as yesterday. He wants to eat by himself, but the emperor refuses.

Awkwardly, he ate half of an apple, and Gu Jingyuan lost his appetite, so the emperor automatically ate the remaining half.

Gu Jingyuan wiped the corners of his lips, there was nothing to do, so he urged the emperor to go back to work.

Long Yanzhao said rather rascally: "Then why don't you go back to the palace with me?"

"..."

The emperor said grandly: "Those servants in your house are too loose, I'm afraid they can't take good care of you."

Gu Jingyuan explained again: "It's not laxity, it's just that I don't like being served by others."

"Then I will take care of your head office myself. I will ask someone to prepare the carriage later. You will live in the palace until you recover from your illness."

"..."

Gu Jingyuan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, he used to live in the emperor's palace, but now he couldn't find any reason to object.

What's more, because of the emperor's public feeding of soup last night... It's awkward for him to stay at home now.

So he nodded in agreement.

Long Yanzhao quickly called the shadow guard and ordered the preparation of the carriage.

He flew over by himself with lightness kung fu, and he didn't even leave the gate. He had to wait for the shadow guards to bring his token to transfer people.

After a while, Long Yanzhao stood up and said to Gu Jingyuan, "So, is there anything else you need to clean up, Yuan?"

Gu Jingyuan's gaze quickly scanned the wardrobe in his own room, a little flustered, and quickly lowered his eyes and shook his head: "There is nothing... Your Majesty's palace already has the things of the minister, and the minister will be ready in two days."

"Yeah." Long Yanzhao didn't insist on helping him pack his things, he sat down next to Gu Jingyuan again, face to face, and couldn't help but look carefully at Ah Yuan's eyebrows.

Ah Yuan is no longer burned, and all the previous suspicions seem to have faded a lot with this drop in temperature.

It's not that Long Yanzhao doesn't care anymore.

——The anomaly of Gu Jingyuan yesterday made him suddenly feel a little strange, as if it gave him a new understanding, so that he began to doubt whether the Gu Jingyuan he saw before was really A Yuan.

Gu Jingyuan's past and Ah Yuan's thoughts, which he didn't care about before... suddenly magnified in his heart, making him eager to know and understand.

A strong sense of crisis inexplicably transpired in the bottom of my heart, which was the reason why the emperor rushed out of the palace to look for Gu Jingyuan yesterday.

But after tossing for such a night, Long Yanzhao didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't bear to question him anymore.

He felt that as long as Gu Jingyuan was fine, it would be fine.

As long as it's with him it's fine.

The rest...time automatically brings or takes everything.

Long Yanzhao thought that he should care more about Gu Jingyuan in the future, observe him like he is now, pay attention to him, and come to him often...

In this way, even if Mr. Gu has exquisite thoughts, he doesn't believe that he can hide something from himself.

Maybe it was because he stared at people for too long, or maybe his gaze was too deep and abnormal, which made Gu Jingyuan a little unaccustomed to it.

He couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty?"

"It's nothing." Long Yanzhao returned to his senses, suddenly raised his hand to hold Gu Jingyuan's head, and pecked at the thin lips that had turned back to light.

Mr. Gu's lips were soft and a little dry, not to mention the excellent touch, and there was a fragrance of apples.

Long Yanzhao left at the touch of a finger, and when he got a little further away, he saw Gu Jingyuan sitting there in a daze, his black and white eyes innocently opened, and his expression was completely lost.

It is very similar to the grievance of a soft and cute animal being robbed of its beloved toy or food, and being taken advantage of abruptly.

The raging heart began to run rampant in his chest. Gu Jingyuan's expression now makes people want to bully him too much, makes people want to rub him into his arms, like this...

So Long Yanzhao deepened the kiss.

He doesn't really know any tricks.

The refreshing apple aroma permeated the lips and teeth again, and the mood began to be happy for no reason.

Previously, Long Yanzhao never thought that a simple kiss would bring such a feeling...

Until the others were gently pushed away by Gu Jingyuan.

Master Gu's face was redder than before, he turned his head away, didn't say anything, just said: "Your Majesty, I'm still sick..."

Long Yanzhao seemed to have discovered something new, he was still in a state of extreme excitement, and he didn't care if he was pushed away.

He nodded and said: "Yes, Ah Yuan should take good care of his illness."

Gu Jingyuan said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Long Yanzhao said: "However, the content of stick figures that have been expanded to more than [-] styles can be expanded..."

"..."

Gu Jingyuan's illness came and went quickly, but it took a lot of time to recover completely.

In just a few days, there was another change in the DPRK and China.

Gu Yuanjin made a new move.

A few days before the Queen Mother's birthday, King Hao was finally taken back to the palace.

On the day King Hao entered the palace to meet Long Yanzhao, Gu Jingyuan was also there.

Long Yunqi's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Emperor Yuwen. Although they were not the same, they could easily be identified as brothers by looking at their demeanor and certain features.

It's just that Long Yunqi has a natural illness, and one leg is inconvenient, so he often has to sit in a wheelchair specially designed by skilled craftsmen to travel.

Long-term inactivity made his figure look very thin, and his complexion was also the kind of pale that hasn't seen the sun all year round. His whole body was a bit weak, and he was completely different from the tall, burly and heroic Long Yanzhao.

Long Yanzhao was sent to the northern palace since he was a child, and he didn't have much close friendship with his brother.

He didn't have any prejudice against Long Yunqi at first, until he was taken back to be the emperor and found that his mother seemed to prefer Long Yunqi...

This beam is considered to be closed.

Long Yunqi also didn't intend to have a heart-to-heart relationship with his emperor's elder brother, he came to pay his respects just for fun, and later he would pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, that's the business.

The two brothers respected each other for a while, then Long Yanzhao smiled and asked someone to send King Hao to the Queen Mother.

"The queen mother misses you very much these days." Long Yanzhao said, "I am busy with government affairs every day and don't have much free time. The fifth younger brother will come back this time, and he will spend more time with the queen mother in the palace."

Long Yunqi's expression remained unchanged, but he responded indifferently: "Yes, my brother respectfully obeys the holy order."

"En." Long Yanzhao smiled brightly: "It's so good."

Long Yanzhao continued to nod in satisfaction, and when the palace staff pushed King Hao out of the palace gate to a place where he could no longer see him, the smile on the emperor's face fell instantly.

During the whole process, Gu Jingyuan obediently hid behind the screen and helped His Majesty grind the ink.

Long Yanzhao was originally in a bad mood, but when he turned around and saw Gu Jingyuan standing there respectfully, the dark cloud in his heart suddenly dissipated a little.

He strode back to the back of the copybook, touched Mr. Gu's slender waist, picked up the ink pen and continued to read the memorial as if nothing had happened.

In the past, every time King Hao returned to the palace, it was a disaster for the palace.

The emperor was in a bad mood, the queen mother and King Hao were also in a bad mood, and even the palace people in the harem were trembling.

It's just that today...the emperor's reaction is different from last year.

It seems to have matured a lot.

For this reason, even Gu Jingyuan was surprised, but it was Long Yanzhao who calmly explained to him while reviewing the memorial: "I see it."

"I've been fighting against King Hao for so many years, and I haven't made any good money with my mother. So let's just leave it at that. I don't have any expectations from my mother's side."

Hearing what he said, Gu Jingyuan couldn't help but pause when he rubbed the ink.

He knew too well the feeling of wanting to compete for favor but getting nothing.

Turning his gaze to the Nine-Five Lord, Gu Jingyuan opened his mouth halfway, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Faced with what they can't get, some people choose to keep fighting, while others choose to give up.

But no matter what kind of choice you make, you must go through a lot of things before you can make a decision.

Outsiders are not easy to persuade.

It can't be persuaded, and it can't be half comforted.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Long Yanzhao showed a sinister smile, "Besides, I also understand. I won't be loved by my mother, and he won't be able to get my throne. It's fair and reasonable, and we are jealous of each other." , I don't care."

Gu Jingyuan: "..."

After a while, Gu Jingyuan smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty is in a good mood, which is very good."

His voice was very soft, but there was a little praise in it, which Long Yanzhao could still hear.

The corners of the Ninth Five Lord's lips raised uncontrollably, he couldn't help but pull Gu Jingyuan over, hugged him, and sniffed the scent of saponins on his body wholeheartedly.

The emperor said: "I don't know what's the matter, this time King Hao came back and I didn't feel jealous of him... I even wanted him to stay with the empress in the palace in the future, so that the empress would not be too busy to go to us every day. Send me a picture of a beautiful boy here to embarrass me."
