As soon as they entered the side hall, Gu Xian and Fu Donglou ran into the Empress Dowager Xiao Tongjin who was about to leave.

"Seeing that you are going back to rest, you know that the emperor is fine." Gu Xian smiled, "It's getting late, you should settle down earlier."

"How can I sleep? Thinking of someone poisoning the king in the palace makes me want to go back to the days when the Great Chu was not established. My heart has been hanging on my mind. How can I sleep?" Xiao Tongjin cast her eyes on the person behind Gu Xian. Fu Donglou's expression softened a little, "I was thinking about your journey, and left you to rest in the palace for one night before sending you back to the palace tomorrow, but it's not safe in the palace at the moment, so I had no choice but to do so. There will be more days to come." , when He'er ascends the throne, you will be in the palace every day, and you will always hear the younger brother say that you are filial, and then you will often go to the Aijia Palace."

"I would like to follow the Queen Mother's order." Fu Donglou bowed and saluted.

After hearing Fu Donglou's address, Gu Xian couldn't help but joked: "You're still called Queen Mother? Shouldn't you call it Queen Mother instead?"

With a flush on his face, Fu Donglou secretly thought that these elders were really more anxious than each other, and asked him to change his words before paying homage.Seeing the Queen Mother looking at him with a smile, Fu Donglou had no choice but to suppress his embarrassment and call out respectfully: "Mother Queen."

"That's right." The queen mother nodded with satisfaction, "After you and He'er get married, the Ai family will give you this rewritten red envelope. If there is anything you like and want, you must say it. If you don't say sorry It's up to the family to decide."

"There is no reason to pick and choose what the elders give. The queen mother likes whatever rewards."

"Look at this sweet talker, no wonder Brother Wang loves you."

"Speak as if you don't love him." Gu Xian picked up the quarrel, and then changed the subject, "Although Wang Shu'er is dead, it must not be the Wang family who ordered him to poison him. It will bring disaster to the Wang family, and it will not help the situation of the Wang family at all. I guess that Mu Yan planted someone who pretended to be Wang Shuer's trusted person, gave Wang Shuer arsenic and told her that Wang Daozhi was guilty. There is no proof right now, just I can see the results of your investigation with the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"I also thought about this festival, so I feel uneasy." Xiao Tongjin sighed, and then told Gu Xian and Fu Donglou, "Go in and see the emperor, and then go out of the palace and go back to the palace. The safest place is Prince Rui's Mansion, there are too many people in the palace, no matter how careful you are, there will still be loopholes."

"It's true, but your Ciyi Palace should not go wrong. I have ordered the Jinwu Guards to step up patrols. The enemy is still eyeing us. If you don't take a good rest, how will you have the strength to fight him. "

"You don't need to comfort me. It's been so many years, I haven't seen any big storms, I understand. This is not a place to talk, I'll go back first." Xiao Tongjin said and left and returned to Ciyi Palace.

Entering the inner room of the side hall, he saw Bai Junhao lying on the bed with a flushed face, his body was wrapped in a thick quilt, and an inner maid kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

The imperial physicians who stayed behind saluted when they saw Gu Xian and Fu Donglou coming in, and then retreated with great winking.The people serving in front of the imperial court were also clever, except for Li Quan who continued to stay to wipe his sweat and feed Bai Junhao, the rest also left the side hall.

Bai Junhao had a lot of things he wanted to say to Gu Xian, and as soon as he was gone, he couldn't wait to say: "Uncle Wang...let Brother and Brother come back, I'm like this...I really can't..."

When Gu Xian and Fu Donglou entered the palace, there were no waiters around them. At this time, Li Quan couldn't get away from wiping Bai Junhao's sweat, so Fu Donglou personally found a round stool for Gu Xian to sit on. Talk to Bai Junhao.

"Hao'er, I know what you mean. The most important thing right now is to take care of your body quickly. If you think too much and don't get enough rest, how can you recover well?" Gu Xian patted Bai Junhao's hand, and the next words were still Before he could say anything, Bai Junhao shook his head slowly.

"Uncle Wang...did I...do something wrong again? Shouldn't I give the meditation seat to Brother He, or...it shouldn't be at this time..."

"I wanted to take a look at you to make sure you were fine before returning home, but you still don't listen to persuasion, this child insists on mentioning the Zen position."

Xu Shi couldn't bear to see Bai Junhao suffer such catastrophe, Gu Xian was a little more patient than usual, and calmly said to Bai Junhao: "Your timing is indeed wrong, you said that the Zen seat was first and now you are poisoned Well, if He'er wants to take over the throne, he must come back from Chang'an, so Mu Yan and Beiyan will have less resistance. After we have cleaned up the Wang and Xie families on our side, let He'er sit firmly on the throne, maybe Mu Yan has already established himself in Beiyan."

"Mu Yan..." The medicine that the imperial physician prescribed to Bai Junhao was to make him sweat and detoxify. In addition, Bo Junhao's vitality had been severely damaged by poisoning. At this time, he seemed even weaker, and it was very difficult for him to speak.

"I... was tricked by Mu Yan again... isn't it...?" Bai Junhao smiled wryly, "Since I ascended the throne... seeing the power of the palace, I always thought that I could... find someone to compete with the palace... ...Using it on both sides, reaping the benefits...In the end, the one being used is always...myself. Thinking about it, I feel...very pitiful..."

"Hao'er, if the world is peaceful and the world is unified, it's not a problem for you to be the ruler of success, but it's not at the right time." Gu Xian didn't want to continue this topic, got up and saluted, intending to leave.

"Uncle Wang... stay a step..." Bai Junhao suddenly became anxious, struggling to sit up straight.

"Your Majesty has something to say, just don't move."

"Uncle Wang...Mu Yan's Yiyuan House..." Bai Junhao grabbed Gu Xian's hand that was stretched out to help him, with an eager expression as if he was giving an important last word.

"Yiyuanju on the back mountain... there is a... cave in three hundred steps. Enter the cave and go to the end... there is a secret cellar... the things hidden under it should be very important... I don't know if Mu Yan took it away... Uncle Wang You can go to... to check..."

Gu Xian knew about the cave on the back mountain of Yiyuanju. The Ti Qiwei sent to intercept Mu Yan had already searched Yiyuanju, but found nothing. Naturally, he also searched that cave, but found nothing.Bai Yi once told Gu Xian that he found evidence to prove Mu Yan's identity. It was a jade pendant owned by all the descendants of Li Tang's royal family. can be found.

The Tiqiguard Qianniuwei sent tonight was just for show. Gu Xian had already made a fake jade pendant to expose Mu Yan's identity. Now when Bai Junhao mentioned the cellar, Gu Xian's heart skipped a beat.

"How did His Majesty know about the cellar?"

Bai Junhao heaved a sigh of relief after finishing what he wanted to say, and was supported by Li Quan to lie back on the bed, heaved a long sigh of relief, and forced a mocking smile: "When I was a child... I lived in Mu Yan's place... For a period of time. Everyone thought I was stupid... how could they guard against me... I found it by mistake... I just thought it was... used by the national teacher to hide treasures... who didn't A bit of a secret... Now that I think about it... there must be... there must be something strange..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will personally inspect the cellar." Gu Xian bowed before leaving.

Fu Donglou followed Mu Yan and stopped for two steps. He turned to the disappointed Bai Junhao and said, "Your Majesty, many people think that being the emperor is the most proud thing in the world, but I don't think so. The position of emperor is unparalleled. He has absolute lofty power in his hands, but he also bears unimaginable responsibilities. It is too difficult to be a good emperor. Throughout history, good emperors are rare. Although I don’t have much contact with His Majesty, I can I feel that His Majesty is a good person. Even if His Majesty is no longer the emperor, there are still many ways to live a successful life."

"To be honest, I actually don't want Zhuo Cheng to be the emperor, and I don't want him to suffer. But at this point, everyone can't help themselves."

The side hall is extremely quiet, and occasionally the sound of charcoal fire "beeping" can be heard.Bai Junhao lay on the bed and stared straight at the high beam with his eyes wide open, as if staring at the golden dragon above.Gu Xian stood a few steps away and didn't make a sound, his downcast eyes covered his thoughts, and the flickering candle was a bit dim, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

After a while, Bai Junhao closed his eyes, and said slowly, "Yes... I can't help myself..."

"Fu Donglou... I'm looking forward to it... I'm looking forward to your succession. There's never been...a male queen...it's bound to be extraordinary..."

Fu Donglou was stunned, he didn't know what to say.What he said just now was purely out of emotion, and after he finished speaking, he didn't know why he said that.Now that Bai Junhao bluntly mentioned being a queen, Fu Donglou felt ashamed and terrified.Fortunately, he still feels sorry for Bo Junhe and wants to suffer as the emperor. He, a male queen, may suffer a hundred times more than Bo Junhe.

"Let's go... There are so many things waiting for you..."

"Your Majesty, take care, and I will leave." Gu Xian pulled Fu Donglou, and the two of them exited the side hall together.

Bo Jun and others are in Chang'an, but Chengdu is always on his mind.He knew that his father could handle this crisis well, and he was relieved to pay Donglou, but he still felt a little uneasy.

The situation of Beiyan also made him worried.Although Beiyan was ruled by the Hu people, the winter solstice also had to offer sacrifices to the heavens. This custom was no different from that of the Han people, but this year Beiyan's ceremony to worship the heavens was not held as usual.According to reports from secret agents lurking in Beiyan, Shi Chaoyi hadn't shown up for quite some time, and he didn't even go to court early.

After Linghuchun disappeared, Shi Chaoyi originally ordered the whole country to pursue him. After Linghuchun appeared in Jiangnan, Beiyan got wind of it but did not make any movement. This is also suspicious.

Bai Junhe felt that something must have happened inside Beiyan.

"Who?!" Bo Junhe suddenly stood up from the table and put one hand on the saber.

The large tents of the Chinese Army of the Habayashi Army are divided into internal and external accounts, and the external accounts are used for office and internal accounts for rest.At this moment, Bo Junhe heard noises from the outside tent in the inner tent, and it seemed that someone was there, but the soldiers outside the door did not report, so how could Bo Junhe not be vigilant.

"That's right, you're still quite vigilant." Bai Yi said as he lifted the curtain and entered the inner tent, "I specifically told them not to report, just to see if you've fallen asleep, who would have thought you'd still burn the lamp to read at night? .”

"Greetings to my father, forgive my son for not being able to fully salute while he is in armor." Bai Junhe performed the military salute and invited Bai Yi to the seat of honor.

"You're still wearing light armor so late, don't you want to rest?"

"I was thinking about things when I came back from the patrol camp, and I didn't take care of it for a while."

"I don't know how to take care of myself if my wife is not around." Bai Yi joked, seeing his son with a coffin-like face, he made fun of it.

"Hey, your face is frozen again without your wife, is it the same for you and your father?"

"My son doesn't dare..." Bo Junhe didn't know what to reply...

"Forget it, I'm here to pick you up. The Habayashi Army has been handed over to me for the time being. I'll watch over Beiyan for you. You are going to go back to Chengdu to ascend the throne."
