Chang'an Fu

It was getting late outside, Gu Huai walked out of the room and walked straight out of the lobby

At this time, there was already a person waiting for him at the gate of the mansion.

Seeing Gu Huai come out, the man threw a burden to him

"Here, what you want is gunpowder in this box." He patted the box on the horse beside him, "I've reduced the amount of gunpowder, so it won't be as explosive as the previous one, but it's the power to kill people." There must be, be careful when you use it!"

"Understood! Thank you!" Gu Huai thanked him as he took the armor he threw over

"Do you really want to hide this from the second prince? After all, you haven't successfully developed this iron armor. If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to him?" Bai and Yang said to Gu Huai worriedly

"Don't worry, I won't use it unless it is absolutely necessary!" Gu Huai seemed to be reassuring him.

Seeing that they couldn't convince Gu Huai, Bai and Yang obediently shut their mouths, paused and said slowly

"Then you pay attention to safety, Second Prince, I will take good care of you!"

Saying that, he smiled cunningly at Gu Huai

"Then it's up to you!"

Seeing that their own words did not have any effect on arousing the other party's psychological waves, Bai and Yang said angrily.

"You have such a big heart. I love the second prince. You are not afraid that I will snatch him over during your absence?"

"Not afraid!"

Gu Huai's words are true, his words are not afraid, it contains not only his trust in Li Yu, but also his reassurance towards Bai and Yang

After getting along during this period of time, he knew how Bai and Yang were people. Although he always shouted his admiration for Li Yu, he was actually not a person who took advantage of the situation. Besides, even if he had Li Yu needs to have this kind of heart.

So Gu Huai is not worried at all.

"Forget it, find satisfaction from you. I'm really full." Said Bai and Yang waved their hands, "I'm leaving."

After he left, Gu Huai turned around and returned to the room, carefully placed the armor and explosives at the bottom of the box, and then covered the things and armor that Li Yu had packed for him.

After repeatedly confirming that Li Yu couldn't see it, he closed the box with peace of mind and returned to the bed

At this moment, Li Yu seemed to be fast asleep, but the moment Gu Huai got on the bed, he turned over and hugged him. This was an unconscious move, and after hugging him, he fell into a deep sleep

When Li Yu woke up the next morning, Gu Huai was no longer there. Gu Huai should be waiting for the emperor's impending seal at the Xuanwu Gate at this time.

Li Yu didn't want to see him off, he was afraid that he wouldn't want him to go, but now he really wanted to see him, so he decided to go to Xuanwumen after much deliberation

Gu Huai originally wanted to wait for Li Yu to wake up before leaving, but who knew that Li Yu had slept for so long, so he came out first

Right now the emperor is talking about something upstairs in the Xuanwu City, but he can't listen to it. Anyway, every time he goes out, the rhetoric is the same, and he knows it even if he doesn't listen.

It's just that he was looking around at this moment, making sure that he hasn't seen Li Yu's figure until now, so Gu Huai looked away from the Xuanwu City tower in disappointment.

At this moment Li Yu boarded the tower, and he was standing beside the emperor, in the most conspicuous position

Xia Wenshu, who was standing near the emperor, was surprised to see Li Yu appearing, but more delighted

But it is obvious that from the moment Li Yu went up the tower, his eyes never stayed on him for a moment, but somewhere under the tower.

Following Li Yu's gaze, Xia Wenshu was sure that he was looking at Gu Huai.

At this time, Gu Huai hadn't realized that Li Yu had already climbed the tower, and he was still thinking about the reason why Li Yu hadn't appeared by this time.

Guo on the side also poked Gu Huai with his elbow, motioning him to look at the

Following Guo Ye's gaze, Gu Huai saw the young man in white at the prominent position, and the moment he met his gaze, he was looking at him with a smile on his face

Just now because the lover didn't come to see him off, all the hazy emotions melted into this smile at this moment, and Gu Huai responded to his lover with a sweet smile

At this moment, the farewell ceremony came to an end. Emperor Xianning raised his wine glass and wished the soldiers a victory and a triumphant return.

Li Yu also picked up the wine glass, but there was only one person he respected.

Although it was far away, Gu Huai could still clearly see what Li Yu said.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Gu Huai nodded solemnly, bid farewell to the emperor, and led everyone to set off towards the border without stopping.

Li Yu's gaze continued until Gu Huai's back completely disappeared, but he was still reluctant to take it back

Xia Wenshu, who was standing not far from Emperor Xianning, saw all the scenes of reluctantly saying goodbye. He suddenly understood why Li Yu had to risk his life to steal the letter last time.

Thinking of this, Xia Wenshu felt a wry smile in his heart, yes, his life is doomed to be ruined in this cold palace, and he has no right to ask who loves him or not

"Why are you here today?" Emperor Xianning had time to ask Li Yulai beside him when he was far away.

"Originally, I came to see my mother and concubine, but I heard that General Gu is going to fight today, so I came to have a look. The father will not blame the son-in-law!"

"It's good that you have the heart, it's a good thing!" As he said, he stretched out his hand, and Li Yu quickly caught his extended hand, "You came just in time. I don't know what your emperor brother is up to recently, and he hasn't come to the palace for a while. Now, since you're here, let's have breakfast with me!"

"My son obeys the order!"

When the father and son of Emperor Xianning returned to Feishuang Hall, breakfast was ready.

"Have you seen your imperial brother recently?"

"Never, Brother Huang is busy, so it's inconvenient for my son to disturb you"

"You two brothers, it's just that you don't know each other very well. I thought your relationship would be closer after you came back from Mao'an."

"Father was joking, Brother Huang treats me very well, but he may have a lot of things to do recently!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Xianning did not intend to continue to ask Li Yan about the topic. After all, there are few brothers in the royal family who are close, not to mention that there are not many children under his knees.

"Is your mother's health better?"

"It's much better. She almost stopped coughing when I went to see my concubine a few days ago. I think it will be better in a few days."

"It seems that the imperial physician who nursed your mother's body is indeed very skilled! In the past two days, I have asked him to come and show me!"

"Father, is your body unwell recently?" Li Yu asked with concern

"It's still a migraine, it's an old problem from before!" Emperor Xianning waved his hand and replied, he didn't like people making a fuss about his body, making it seem like he was terminally ill

"Since that's the case, it's good to have a new imperial physician to show you. Father, your migraines will become more frequent in autumn and winter. You should pay more attention to your body."

"It's okay, I know it well"

I've run out of breakfast while I'm talking

Emperor Xianning was not close to Li Yu in the first place, so he couldn't get used to the scene of father's kindness and filial piety for too long, so he sent him to see Concubine Yu

As soon as he left, Emperor Xianning asked An Donghai next to him

"How do you think the second prince compares with the first prince?"

An Donghai didn't dare to say too much about such things, not to mention that what the emperor wanted was not his answer.

"The first prince is very friendly and has the best qualifications. As for the second prince, although his qualifications are not as good as the first prince, since the Mao'an incident, he has changed his personality. It's getting better and better!"

"I also feel that since the Mao'an incident, Yu'er's temperament has changed a lot, I hope it's a good thing!" Emperor Xianning changed the subject, "Today's incident makes me sigh that the prince under my knees is really sparse. It seems that I need to add some color to the harem!"

An Donghai soon understood what Emperor Xianning meant.

"The slaves will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a while and let them prepare for a new round of draft!"

Emperor Xianning waved his hand, "It's not urgent, the daughters of the prince's family have the same temperament, nothing new, too boring, I don't like it!"

"Yes!"

An Donghai didn't understand what the emperor meant, how could he get a candidate if he didn't draft?

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Seeing An Donghai's pensive look, Xia Wenshu asked with concern

"I just heard in the palace that the emperor said that he wanted to recruit new people for the harem, but I proposed drafting and he said he was tired of the daughters of the princes and ministers. This time I really didn't understand what he meant."

An Donghai said puzzledly

"Isn't this simple? The emperor wants to find a commoner woman!" Xia Wenshu said

Hearing this, An Donghai quickly covered his mouth and scolded anxiously.

"I don't want to live anymore, don't you know that the harem cannot accept civilians?"

"But isn't Concubine Yu a commoner?" Xia Wenshu asked in confusion

Speaking of this, An Donghai sighed for a long time, "You came late, and you don't know many things, but Concubine Yu is a special case, so don't say such things in the future!"

The more An Donghai hesitated to speak, the more curious Xia Wenshu became, not to mention that Concubine Yu was Li Yu's mother and concubine, so he became even more curious.

But it was obvious that An Donghai couldn't get the matter out of his mouth, so he closed his mouth wearily and didn't reply anymore.
