After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

How to successfully capture a wolf pup.

This is a question that Han Mo has been thinking about since he met Gu Xiu for the first time.

Han Mochu grew up on Baiming Mountain, so he has quite a lot of hunting experience.

If you are hunting deer, you have to prepare a large net anytime and anywhere to wait for the unsuspecting deer to approach.If it is to catch birds, it is necessary to set up a huge bamboo basket, put delicious food under the basket, and when the birds go to the bottom of the basket to eat, they pull out the bamboo poles that support the basket.If you want to catch rabbits, you have to dig a deep hole on the ground, cover the hole with a thin layer of turf, and wait for the rabbit to walk into the hole by itself.

However, which of these methods can catch Gu Xiu, the little wolf cub, Han Mochu still doesn't know.

After spending these two or three days together, Han Mochu discovered that Gu Xiu was a very guarded and self-disciplined young man.

That day, he copied Gu Xiu's books for most of the night, and it was already late at night when he finished copying.

I thought that according to Gu Xiu's age, he would have to sleep until the sun was up on the second day, but at dawn on the second day, Han Mochu heard Gu Xiu's footsteps in the courtyard practicing martial arts.

During the lecture, Gu Xiu still didn't give Han Mochu any good looks, as if the person who accompanied him to practice calligraphy and copy books until late at night the night before was not Han Mochu at all.

Gu Xiu only eats two meals a day, one meal and one dish for each meal, at most he only eats [-]% of his fullness and doesn't take another bite.

In comparison, Han Mochu, the prince's young teacher who eats three meals a day, four dishes and one soup, is really too extravagant.

Han Mo is a little lethargic at birth, which is very similar to his mentor, Mr. Yi Ji.

Gu Xiu gets up about an hour earlier than Han Mochu every day. Even when Han Mochu is not around, Gu Xiu reads and practices all by himself, and he never slacks off for a day.

As a young man, Gu Xiu is not greedy for playfulness, food or sleep, he is diligent and self-disciplined, even more like a master than Han Mochu.

From this point of view, Han Mochu, the prince's junior teacher, seems to be useless.

If you teach a naughty boy, you only need to intimidate and intimidate.

But Gu Xiu is not an urchin, he is a young man brought up by the female general Yunyao himself.Born under the border, his knowledge and experience far exceed those of his peers.Gu Xiu is really an outstanding child. If anyone can raise such a son, the old parents in the family will probably wake up laughing from their dreams.

About how to conquer such a wolf cub, Han Mochu was depressed for three whole days.

Han Mo, who was a teacher for the first time, remembered his mentor, Mr. Yi Ji.

His mentor is lecherous and coquettish, talks inconsequentially, and acts according to his heart.But the astonishing talent revealed in every gesture makes people have to be amazed and admire him sincerely.

So if Gu Xiu really wants to be convinced by him, he has to be stronger than this young man at all times, preferably to the point where this young man can't match in a short time.

Even if it will hurt the boy's self-esteem during this period.

There is a book library in the Great Zhou Palace, which was left by Mr. Yi Yi when the country was founded. It is a six-story building with countless books.Unlike the royal library under the jurisdiction of the Hanlin Academy, most of the books there come from the folk.There are many types and many branches, and there are many isolated copies of ancient books.

Han Mochu knew about this when he was a teenager, and he has always been yearning for the library that Mr. Yi Ji said he has poured his painstaking efforts into for many years.So on the second day after he entered the palace, he went around and found out the location of the library.

Before the lecture on the fourth day, Han Mochu made a book list.

Let Baode, the only young eunuch in Guiyun Palace, go to the Palace Library to move books according to the book list he said.

This little eunuch was the only remaining official in Guiyun Palace whose hands and feet were not interrupted by Gu Xiu.He is simple and foolish, but works very hard. On the first day when Han Mo came here, he stayed in the main room to accompany Gu Xiu to copy books until midnight.

Baode's footsteps were very fast, and without much effort, he offered all the books that Han Mochu wanted in front of him.

After reading those books, Gu Xiu still kept that cold face of not getting close to strangers, neither smiling nor speaking.

"Your Highness, I see that most of the books you are using now are for enlightenment. It is really meaningless to read them at your age." Han Mochu pushed the pile of books towards Gu Xiu: "So I decided to change them for you without authorization." gone."

"Ah."

Gu Xiu responded, and raised his eyes to look at the pile of books in front of him. The first book that came up was "Warring States Policy".It was the book his biological mother Yunyao told him when he was young.

At that time, there were few pens and paper in the northern wasteland, so his mother used wooden branches to write the allusions in the book on the sand to teach him. Today is the first time he has seen the book itself.

"Also, I know that Your Highness doesn't like your highness wasting words, and I don't want to offend His Highness." Han Mochu smiled like a crescent moon: "So Your Highness just read these books for yourself, and I will never ask more questions."

"En." Gu Xiu looked at those books without raising his eyelids.

"However, in order to prevent His Highness from swallowing the jujube while studying, the minister cannot do business in front of His Majesty. Every day, Your Majesty will select an article from the book His Highness read the day before yesterday, and His Highness is asked to write it silently."

"What?" Gu Xiu raised his head and frowned.

Han Mochu secretly smiled: The wolf cub finally took the bait.

"What's the matter? Your Highness can't remember?" Han Mochu lightly raised his eyebrows, his expression was indescribably provocative.

"It's hard for a strong man."

"It turns out that this is difficult for His Highness?" Han Mochu raised his hand to cover his mouth and pretended to be surprised: "It turns out that His Highness's qualifications are so mediocre, this is due to my negligence. It seems that today we are still learning the rules of disciples, and the surnames of hundreds of families. What if your Highness is worried?"

"Han Mochu." Gu Xiu's face was so dark that it was almost impossible to see: "What you said, can you do it yourself?"

"Of course I can do it."

"How to prove it?"

Han Mochu twisted his fingers and twitched his chin for a moment, then said, "Otherwise, let me study together with Your Highness from today, Your Highness will read one book, and your Highness will read three books, Your Highness will take one exam next day, and I will take three exams, what do you think?" how?"

"What if you made a mistake?" Gu Xiu asked coldly.

"If I make a mistake, I will resign immediately, and I will never appear in front of His Highness again." Han Mochu chuckled suddenly, and then said, "What if Your Highness is wrong?"

If you make a mistake, you will immediately resign. This is a very tempting bargaining chip for Gu Xiu. In exchange for this bargaining chip, the wolf cub Gu Xiu didn't care much: "What do you think?"

"Yichen said, it's like a folk book school." Han Mochu smiled and pulled out a redwood ring ruler that was two feet long, one inch wide, and about two minutes thick from his cuff, and slapped it on the ground, slowly saying: "Wrong word , take a note."

"Han Mochu!" Gu Xiu roared, his anger seemed to have rushed to the top of his head.

"What? Don't you dare, Your Highness? How about this, if Your Highness can write a good word tomorrow, then I will immediately resign as the prince's junior teacher." Han Mochu played with the ruler in his hand without changing his face.

Gu Xiu took a deep breath: "It's a deal!" Then he took the "Warring States Policy" on the top of the pile of books and began to study hard.

When Han Mo first saw this, he simply leaned back, hugging the back of his head and leaning against the empty brick floor in the main room: "Oh, it's still early, Your Highness, take your time, I'll sleep for a while."

When Han Mo first woke up, Gu Xiu was reading a book.

When Han Mo came back from his meal, Gu Xiu was reading a book.

When Han Mochu woke up again, Gu Xiu was still reading.

In the afternoon, Han Mochu, who was very poor and bored, finally couldn't hold back anymore, and leaned towards Gu Xiu with a blind eye: "Your Highness, if you don't know any words, you can ask the minister, the left and right ministers are here."

"No need."

"Your Highness, are you hungry? I still have two milk muffins for breakfast, how about letting Baode warm them up for you?"

"No need!" Gu Xiu squeezed the pages of the book with clenched fists, and was about to tear the book in his hand like Han Mochu.

"Your Highness, I borrowed this book from Zangshu Pavilion, please don't tear it up."

Gu Xiu closed the book with a snap, and yelled out a word from his heart: "Get lost!"

The wolf cub blew up.

Han Mochu shrugged disapprovingly and stepped aside, opened a book unhurriedly, and read it with great interest.

The next day, get up early in the morning.

Han Mo got up early in the morning, washed his clothes, and had breakfast.

Let the little eunuch Baode prepare another square table, a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and place them close to Gu Xiu's empty hall.

When Han Mo first came in, Gu Xiu was still in the same posture as yesterday, looking at the black eyes under his eyes, he knew that the child hadn't slept all night.

"Good morning, Your Highness." Han Mochu smiled and sat cross-legged in front of Gu Xiu: "How is your reading?"

Gu Xiu closed the book indifferently, and said in a hoarse voice, "What do you think?"

"I don't think so much." Han Mochu looked at Gu Xiu with a smile, "Otherwise, if you call me Master, I'll forget it, and I'll be able to teach you to read from now on."

The little wolf cub frowned and looked at Han Mochu: "You said yesterday that you memorized three volumes, how did you memorize them?"

Gu Xiu worked hard all day and night yesterday, but he only remembered the two or three articles in front of him.Most of the latter only memorized a few outlines. Gu Xiu simply did not believe that anyone in this world could memorize a book word for word in a day, let alone three books.

Han Mochu didn't answer directly, but just pushed the three books he selected yesterday to Gu Xiu and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please choose any questions you want."

As soon as Gu Xiu put his hand on the book, Han Mochu stopped him: "Your Highness, according to what I said yesterday, I will also take one."

Gu Xiu didn't answer, but also pushed the book in his hand.

Han Mochu was not polite either, casually opened an article "Zhang Yi Talks about the King of Qin", picked up a pen, wrote down the first sentence of the article on the paper, and handed it to Gu Xiu: "Your Highness, this article is very simple, and I am not bullying you." .You don’t need to write the first sentence of the opening sentence for the minister, just the first two words are enough.”

Gu Xiu took a look at the person, suppressed the provoked anger, and picked up a pen to write a question with Han Mochu on the paper.

Next, the two sat facing each other and wrote separately.

After a while, Han Mochu stopped writing, propped his forehead and looked at Gu Xiu who hadn't finished writing: "Your Highness, have you finished writing?"

Gu Xiu silently handed the written rice paper to Han Mochu, and at the same time exchanged back the three papers that Han Mochu had written.

Gu Xiu himself knew how well he wrote just now.We can only hope to find out the mistakes and omissions of Han Mochu.

In order to prevent this Han Mochu from appearing again, Gu Xiu calmed down, opened the book and compared what was written in the book with what Han Mochu wrote word by word.

It's a pity that Han Mochu did not make a single mistake.Even though Gu Xiu thought it was unbelievable, Han Mochu really did not miss a single word.

On the opposite side, Han Mochu held Gu Xiu's silent book, and from time to time he raised his pen to tick it off, and after a while, he raised his head in great disappointment: "Your Highness, in this short article, you made 34 mistakes."

34 words.

Gu Xiu's heart suddenly sank.

Han Mochu pulled out yesterday's ruler from his cuff, and held it in his hand helplessly: "Since you are wrong, then I can only offend you as I said yesterday. Your Highness, please extend your left hand."

Without saying a word, Gu Xiu stretched out his left hand to Han Mochu.

Han Mochu held the ruler in his hand, swung it round and slapped Gu Xiu's hand.

For the first stroke, Han Mochu pumped extremely heavily, and a red mark quickly appeared on Gu Xiu's palm.

Gu Xiu didn't dodge, didn't cry out for pain, and didn't even bend his arms.

Immediately after the second, the third, and the fourth.

Han Mochu didn't give Gu Xiu a chance to breathe, and acted like he was doing business.

The palms of young people are not big, and two or three strokes of the ruler can completely cover them.

Every subsequent ruler covered the original scar, and as the redness of the palm gradually deepened, the flesh swelled and bulged

Gu Xiu gritted his teeth without saying a word.

Gu Xiu is a person who keeps his word.In his opinion, if he is wrong, he is wrong, and if Han Mochu is right, he is right.He will not use his age and experience as an excuse to shirk.Not to mention asking Han Mochu whether he had memorized those books earlier, so he came to make things difficult for him.

After finishing 34 strokes, Han Mochu moved his shoulders seriously: "Your Highness, don't make so many mistakes tomorrow, I'm tired from beating."

Gu Xiu withdrew his left hand, slightly bent and stretched his palm, and the numb skin and flesh quickly recovered from the slap of the ruler, and the pain was excruciating.

Speaking of which, Gu Xiu's hands were also pitiful, the blood on the back of his right hand had just dissipated, and his left hand was pumped into a braised pig's trotter.

That day, Han Mochu had only practiced a few strokes of his left-handed running script, and now his left hand is more swollen than his right hand.

"Your Highness, I see that your memorization of yesterday's book is not very good. I said that you have to pay attention to reading. If you don't pay attention, you will not be able to remember." Han Mochu put the ruler back into his cuffs, smiled and read the book "Warring States Policy" Handed it up again: "You can memorize it for another day today, I don't want to swing the ruler until my arms are sore tomorrow."

Gu Xiu is a young man who is extremely strong without a whip, and Han Mochu's two or three words that are neither salty nor bland make Gu Xiu feel ashamed and indignant.

Squeeze out a few words between the teeth: "Tomorrow, it will never be like this."

***

The next morning, the weather was cloudy and cool, which was a good time to stay in bed.

Han Mochu was sleepy since he was a child, and it was difficult to get up early whenever he encountered such weather, and there was no one in Guiyun Palace around him to call him, so he simply slept until the sun was up.

It was almost noon when Han Mochu got up slowly, washed, changed clothes, had a meal, and stepped into the main room.

Gu Xiu was still sitting upright at the front of the small table, with the untouched breakfast in hand.

Han Mochu checked the temperature with his fingers, and it was already completely cold.

"Your Highness, you really forgot to sleep and eat just to drive your ministers out." Han Mochu shook his head: "It's a pity, Your Highness, you study so hard, but you still don't have enough time."

Gu Xiu closed the book in his hand with a snap, and punched Han Mochu's left cheek. Han Mochu grabbed Gu Xiu's fist and squeezed it tightly with a smile, making people unable to move: "Your Highness, I didn't ask you to change it. Is this the problem of hitting people at every turn? Besides, you are not my opponent."

Gu Xiu twisted his wrist vigorously to try to break free, but at the moment when Gu Xiu was struggling most violently, Han Mochu suddenly let go, causing the boy to fall backwards.

The young man with an unstable center of gravity instinctively supported the ground with his hands, but he didn't quite press the palm of his left hand that was just swollen by the ruler yesterday firmly on the ground.

Gu Xiu felt the pain and gave a short "hmm".

Han Mo saw it at first, but ignored it.

"Your Highness, it seems like we should do the same thing as we said the day before yesterday and take the quizzes for each other, right?" Han Mochu raised his eyebrows lightly at Gu Xiu who fell to the ground: "If you don't want to take the exam, then you can call me Master, I am willing to teach you at any time you."

"Test." Gu Xiu propped himself up and turned over to sit up.

For Gu Xiu, this test was not only about whether or not he could be kicked out, but about his dignity as a human being.The teenagers raised by military families have a much stronger desire to win than ordinary teenagers.

Han Mochu doesn't have one more brain than him, so why is he stronger than him?He can't lose anything, and can't lose anything.Otherwise, I'm sorry for the blood of the Yun family flowing through him.

Gu Xiuwei's heart is higher than the sky, but nothing happened.

In a quiz, Gu Xiu made a mistake of 22 words in one article, while Han Mochu made no mistakes in one word in the third article.

"Sigh, what His Highness said today won't be like this, is there just a few missing words?" Han Mochu shook his head pretending to be regretful: "Please stretch out your left hand, Your Highness."

Without much hesitation, Gu Xiu stretched out his left hand towards Han Mochu and opened his palm.

The redness from yesterday has subsided, replaced by a raised bruise.

Han Mochu still had a business-like attitude, and every ruler was firmly in the palm of the young man's hand.

The already injured left hand has become fragile and vulnerable, and every stroke of the ruler is tantamount to worsening the situation.

From the very beginning, Gu Xiu secretly endured it, but later he had to bite his lower lip to resist the sharp pain in his palm. He turned his head away and stopped looking at the falling ruler.Let the palm of your hand turn from blue to deeper crimson.

Every ruler Han Mochu wrote seemed to tell him that he was indeed not as good as Han Mochu, and that among the people he knew since childhood, he was also not as good as Han Mochu.Today, in order to make Han Mochu wrong, he chose some extremely tricky questions.

Han Mochu is still correct.

"Hiss... oh..." After finishing the 22 rulers, Han Mochu moved his shoulder waving the ruler and said earnestly: "Your Highness, you should also feel sorry for the shoulders of the minister, this is a tiring job."

Gu Xiu ignored Han Mochu's sarcastic remarks, and carefully clenched his palms.The exaggerated swelling and pain in his palm had completely made it impossible for him to hold his left hand.

"Your Highness, do you want to make peace?" Han Mochu approached Gu Xiu and asked with a soft smile.

"No! Speak!" The wolf cub roared out two words one by one.These two words contained the wolf cub's deep hatred for Han Mochu.

"Well, your Highness, let's continue to read. It doesn't matter if you are a minister, you will get a salary every day in the palace, and it doesn't matter if you recite it until you are seventy or eighty."

"Han Mochu! Get out of here!" Gu Xiu roared and threw the book at Han Mochu, Han Mochu dodged it lightly, stood in front of the door and saluted Gu Xiuxing with a smile: "Your Majesty, leave."

In the afternoon, Han Mochu came back again, holding a plate of steaming sugar buns in his hand.

It is a new dim sum made by Yushanfang.

Gu Xiu in the main room was still immersed in his studies, Han Mochu put the sugar bag under Gu Xiu's nose and shook it around without winking.

Gu Xiu studied hard for days and hadn't eaten seriously for a long time. He smelled the smell of sugar packets and instinctively wanted to grab one.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Han Mochu took the plate far away: "Your Highness, didn't you tell me to get out?"

Gu Xiu followed the plate of sugar buns, and saw the smiling Han Mochu again.

"Since you know, why did you come back?" Gu Xiu withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on the book.

"Of course I want His Highness to see how delicious the newly steamed sugar buns in the imperial kitchen are." Han Mochu tore open a piece of sugar buns in front of Gu Xiu, and the soft sugar juice flowed down the river, looking very attractive.

"Nonsense." Gu Xiu snorted coldly, rubbed his sore eyes and stopped talking to Han Mochu.

"Your Highness, if you call me Master, I will give you one." Han Mochu generously picked up a sugar bag from the plate and held it in front of Gu Xiu: "How is it?"

Gu Xiu, the wolf cub, obviously wouldn't appreciate this trick of coaxing young children, so he slapped the sugar bag far away with one paw.

Han Mochu was not angry, he patted the sugar bag to the dust, picked it up on the plate, looked for a book by himself, leaned against the wall beside him and looked through it, and when his eyes were heavy and sore, he closed his eyes and rested, unconsciously fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Han Mochu woke up.

There was a burst of rain outside the window, Gu Xiu who was not far away was still watching the night light and reciting a book, with a focused and devoted expression.

Han Mochu got up quietly, walked behind Gu Xiu slowly, and was about to cut the lantern flowers for him.

Suddenly, he felt the figure of the young man in front of him sway, and finally he fell backward defenselessly. If Han Mochu hadn't reacted quickly enough, the young man would have bumped his head.

"Your Highness?" Han Mochu lowered his head and called out, but the young man didn't respond, his whole body was as soft as dough, allowing Han Mochu to fiddle with it.

Han Mochu frowned and checked the boy's breath, and found that the boy was breathing evenly and smoothly, so it turned out that he was just fast asleep.

In order to fight against him these days, Gu Xiu has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and has not eaten or drunk seriously, and his attention is highly concentrated.Even if a 12-year-old boy is physically strong, it should be the limit to hold on until now.

Han Mochu shook his head and smiled, hugged the wolf cub Gu Xiu, and walked towards the bedroom connected behind the main room.

Turning into Gu Xiu's bedroom, Han Mochu was completely stunned.

This is the first time he has entered Gu Xiu's bedroom these days, and the bedroom is actually an empty room just like the main room.

There is no furnishings at all, only a one-foot-square suitcase in the corner, and two pairs of official boots beside the suitcase.In the corner on the other side, there was a quilt on the floor, beside the pillow was a lamp left by the little eunuch Baode before going to bed, and a long pole of arbor stood on the place illuminated by the lamp!The gun was smaller than those used in ordinary military camps, and it looked like it was used by a young man like Gu Xiu.

long!Spears, both men and women in the Yun family are good at it!gun.

The Yun family swims with a dragon gun, and the gun moves like a dragon. On the battlefield, it is difficult for two or thirty people to get close.

It turned out that every day when Gu Xiu got up before dawn, he was practicing with his gun.

Han Mochu hugged the sleeping Gu Xiu and walked around the empty bedroom, after thinking about it, he carried the child back to his bedroom.

Gu Xiu was probably very tired. The moment Han Mochu put him on the couch, he instinctively squeezed his face into the pillow.Frowning, the whole person curled up into a small ball as much as possible.It looks like a little beast, and it's still a little beast that has always been extremely insecure.

Han Mochu quietly lit a little benzoin in the room, then took off Gu Xiu's boots, and took off his outer robe.

Han Mochu's movements were very light, because Gu Xiu, who was fast asleep, kept his brows tightly furrowed, as if he would wake up at any moment.

The green smoke of benzoin curled up and rushed into the nostrils, and Gu Xiu's brows gradually stretched out.

Han Mochu carefully picked up Gu Xiu's left hand, opened the palm, and looked at his "masterpiece".

Gu Xiu's palm was swollen very high, mottled bruises appeared from the fingertips to the palm, and there was already a hard lump of blood on the base of the palm.Han Mochu pressed lightly with his thumb, and Gu Xiu, who was sleeping soundly, struggled immediately, humming something vaguely in his throat.

Han Mochu tilted his head and listened carefully, only to hear Gu Xiuxiu muttering two words in his sleep: "Master."

Han Mochu raised the corners of his mouth happily, and thought to himself: So this little wolf cub has already recognized him in his heart, and he insisted on trying to save face.

Before Han Mochu was beautiful for a quarter of an hour, Gu Xiu who was on the couch muttered again: "I just don't call you master."

Han Mochu's smile froze on his lips, and he cursed: "Wolf cub!"

He immediately changed his clothes and went to bed, pushing Gu Xiu aside.

With the sound of birds chirping, Gu Xiu, who had slept soundly all night, was awakened by the dazzling sunshine after the rain.

Under the effect of tranquilizing incense, Gu Xiu slept peacefully all night, probably because he hasn't slept for such a long time.When Gu Xiu woke up, his temples were slightly swollen, and he unconsciously reached out and pressed the top of his head.

After regaining consciousness, he suddenly realized that he was not in his original bedroom, and there was Han Mochu sleeping beside him.

Gu Xiu jumped up from the bed in an instant.

"Your Highness, are you awake?" Han Mochu who heard the movement also sat up. Han Mochu, who had just woken up, was a little lazy, with a faint smile on his lips, and looked at Gu Xiu, whose pupils were obviously dilated: "Your Highness fell asleep while studying yesterday. I was afraid that you would catch cold, so I wanted to carry you back to your bedroom, but I saw that there is no couch in your bedroom, so I decided to carry you into my bedroom."

"You should wake me up."

"I tried it, but Your Highness slept too soundly." Han Mochu stretched out his hand and put on a coat: "Your Highness, why is there no couch in your bedroom?"

"I'm not used to sleeping." Gu Xiu simply answered three words and went to the bed to change clothes.

"Didn't Your Highness get used to sleeping here yesterday?" Han Mochu smiled.

Gu Xiu turned around to look at Han Mochu, and said meaningfully: "The couches in the palace are too high, people will hide underneath."

Han Mochu's eyebrows suddenly retracted, and the expression on his face changed slightly: "Your Highness, someone wants your life after you enter the palace?"

"Yes."

"Does your Highness know who he is?"

"A lot of people." Gu Xiu said lightly, and then he lowered his head and straightened his clothes, but his left hand was injured, and his belt was a little messy: "It started on the first day I returned to the palace, how could I know it was who?"

"That's why Your Highness emptied the palace?" Han Mochu walked up to Gu Xiu and knelt down on one knee, and straightened his belt for Gu Xiu: "Later, he wounded the palace servants, and spread the name of cruelty, and did not hesitate to offend Gu Xiu many times. Your Majesty, confine yourself here?"

"So what? I have to live." Gu Xiu's tone contained some imperceptible sorrow: "My ancestor's family is still struggling to survive in the Northern Wilderness. I have to live first before I can wait for the future." day?"

Han Mochu clapped his hands together, and his heart tightened.

Gu Xiu's current situation is really worse than he thought.

In the fifth year of Yongxi, the eldest son of the emperor, Gu Chang, fell off his horse and died.Queen Meng left the palace to practice because of excessive sadness, and she has not asked about palace affairs since then.The person in charge of the palace became the noble concubine Han.

Han Shi is the younger sister of Prime Minister Han Ming.Gu Xiu is Yunyao's child, this time he returns to the palace alone, this Concubine Han will definitely not let him have a good time.

This child Gu Xiu was born in the extreme northern wilderness since he was a child. He has a withdrawn temperament and is not good at speaking.The king often scolded him and never listened to him say a word.So in order to protect himself, he had no choice but to use all means to keep everyone away thousands of miles away, let alone trust anyone.

Including him, Han Mochu.

Han Mochu carefully arranged Gu Xiu's clothes, raised his head and said seriously, "Your Highness, do you want to trust me once?"

"What do you believe in?"

"Xinchen wants you to live."

"Why?" Gu Xiu frowned puzzled, "What does my life and death have to do with you?"

"Because I, like Your Highness, have no root or foundation in this palace. I am not recommended by a powerful minister, nor is I ordered by the king. I do not belong to any power in this palace. I came here by self-recommendation. The prince's young master, His Royal Highness's life and death, honor and disgrace are naturally closely related to the minister. Therefore, the minister has nothing but dedication to His Royal Highness, nothing else."

"..." Gu Xiu didn't answer, his indifferent face still showed no expression, Han Mochu could see the confession in his eyes.

"Your Highness, if you are willing, I would like to give you a high-five oath, no matter what happens in the future, I will advance and retreat with you."

Han Mochu raised the palm of his left hand and stood firmly in front of Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu clenched his right hand tightly for a moment, then let go again.

Although Gu Xiu and Han Mochu have not known each other for a long time, he can clearly feel that Han Mochu is different from those who approached him with malice before.

Last night, Han Mochu did not harm him while he was asleep.

In the past few days, although Han Mochu acted against him, but what he said was beneficial to him.Han Mochu is full of talent, but he does not show his admiration.He clashed with each other several times, but Han Mochu never cared about it.

He didn't sympathize with him, didn't look down on him, let alone kept him at a distance, and perfunctory him because of his distrust.He wanted him to grow, to make him stronger.

Han Mochu came from the rivers and lakes, he came from the wilderness, although the two of them came from different places, they are both aliens in this palace.

Different to others, but similar to themselves.

Since we are the same kind, we should cherish each other.

In the end, Gu Xiu also slowly raised his right hand, facing Han Mochu very solemnly.

Han Mochu grasped Gu Xiu's extended palm, "Now that we have made an oath, we will no longer believe in it. From now on, I will advance and retreat with Your Highness together, and it will not violate what I said today."
