Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

"Are you awake?"

When Xu Bai opened his eyes again, Xie He was still beside him, giving him the illusion that Xie He had always been there and had never left. But in fact, Xie He only asked the eunuchs to stay here, and Xu Bai would quickly report to Xie He as soon as there was any movement.

"……Um."

His arm was aching so much that Xu Bai turned his head with difficulty and saw that it had been tightly bandaged.

“Don’t move.” Xie He gently stroked his head, tested the temperature and said softly, “Nian Nian, I haven’t thanked you for saving my brother yet.”

"……Um……"

The young man clutched the quilt with his uninjured left hand a little uneasily. What he was thinking about at that time was not to save Xie He, but that if something happened to the emperor in the Su Mansion, then Brother Su would definitely be thrown into jail. He didn't want to see Su Shi being arrested, so he subconsciously blocked it.

The pain was so severe that I had the mind to think about other things - why was I doing this? Obviously, obviously Brother Su had already married, or... or it was a marriage granted by the emperor, the bride must be very beautiful, gentle and quiet, the two of them were a perfect match made in heaven.

But Xu Bai still couldn't help shedding tears. He felt wronged and sad, but he seemed unable to do anything except crying.

Everything is the same. It was like this with my parents and the Gu family, and it is also like this with my beloved Brother Su.

"Why are you crying again?" Xie He helped him wipe his tears. "Niannian, I said that I can always be with you. I can do whatever you want with you. You saw it all before, right? Niannian, can I marry you? I will marry you as my wife."

The young man didn't expect the king to say this to him. His eyes widened in an instant, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and he was completely stunned.

[I will kill you while you are ill.] Xu Bai curled his lips. These were all tricks he had left over from the past, but this one was very useful against the simple young master.

Liu'er became a hands-off boss. Xu Bai used his consciousness to check but found no trace of it. Maybe it ran away to relax.

"..." Xu Bai stared in silence for a long time before he uttered a sentence softly, "Your Majesty is crazy?"

This reaction was beyond Xie He's expectations. He thought Xu Bai would definitely make a scene, saying things like "it's against moral principles" or "how can I be worthy of my parents", and might even rush over to fight with him, bringing up old issues about the Gu family.

Xu Bai didn’t.

He seemed to have used up all his strength after he said this. He closed his eyes and gasped like a small animal. Due to blood loss, his face was pale, almost gray, a bit like the hazy moonlight that filtered through the shadows of the trees tonight, which would disappear if not carefully.

"Nian Nian?"

The sickly aura produced by the system was shining brightly. Even though his face was not good, the young master was still so weak that Xie He could not say any harsh words.

"...I was in a trance today, and I couldn't hear clearly what Your Majesty said just now, and you don't have to mention it again... It's too late, cough, cough..." With a layer of sweat on his forehead, Xu Bai began to cough softly, frowning, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Xie He looked at him deeply, told Xiao Tao to take good care of Xu Bai, then turned and left.

……

"Sir, you——"

Xiao Tao followed Xu Bai every day and knew that the emperor was interested in him, so she pursed her lips and whispered, "Why do you have to do this? This whole world belongs to the king. Now that His Majesty is interested in you, why not..." The little girl blushed, but still said, "Why not fulfill His Majesty's wish."

Xu Bai turned his eyes and stared at the little girl. There was a hint of red at the corners of his eyes. Xiao Tao was stunned. For some reason, she felt that the young master seemed to have changed from before. He still had the same handsome face, but he looked much more listless. He laughed, but it was more sad than crying. "Xiao Tao, I fell in love with someone. He got married yesterday."

Xiao Tao panicked and subconsciously looked at the doors and windows, then realized belatedly that His Majesty must know about this. He was the emperor. If he could allow the woman beside him to have other men in her heart, he would be really broad-minded. No, in such an era with such strict hierarchy between the emperor and his subjects, Xiao Tao only felt that His Majesty must be extremely fond of the young master, so fond of him that he would not bear to hurt or kill him even if he made a big mistake.

【Sixth son.】

The system understood what he meant and made a helpless "beep".

……

Xie He was not happy. In fact, he wanted to use tough measures, just like he did to Minister Gu and his wife. However, he could not get out of them even after torture. Even the servants were stubborn. He had been looking for a piece of jade for nearly six years. Finally, he found Gu Nian, but he was weak and frail. It was not that Xie He could not wait, but he would get anxious if he waited too long, and he was afraid that there would be more trouble.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

There were constant cries outside the palace, shouting, "Your Majesty, the young master is not well! Please go and see him! He is vomiting blood! Your Majesty——"

Li Da came in and reported, "Your Majesty, it was Xiao Tao who served the young master. She said that the young master had a fever and vomited blood, but there was no imperial physician to be found..."

Before he could finish his words, the man in the yellow robe turned around very quickly and went straight out regardless of the darkness.

"Oh!" Li Da shouted hurriedly, "Hurry, follow up, light the lamp for His Majesty, go quickly!"

When Xiao Tao saw the emperor coming out, she quickly stood up and followed him. She thought that the young master was finally saved. Her hands and feet were shaking and tears were streaming down her face.

Xu Bai asked Liu'er to use the halo. Originally, he wanted to use some stone to activate it, but the stingy advanced system directly exchanged it for a mace, and hit the glowing halo!

"Ahem..."

Xu Bai thought that the blow had hit him in the face. He instantly felt a splitting headache, his body twitched, his long eyelashes trembled, his five jade-like fingers convulsed as they grasped the edge of the collapsed building, and he coughed with blood oozing from his lips.

[That’s cruel enough.] Xu Bai gave Liu’er a trembling thumbs-up.

Liu'er chuckled and shrank into Xu Bai's mind without saying a word.

Xiao Tao didn't know that this was the most brutal way the system used to activate the halo. She just went to pour some hot water, and when she came back she found that the young master's lips were covered in blood, his whole body was trembling, and sweat was condensing on his eyelashes, as if he was about to die.

"Sir... Sir..."

Xu Bai's breathing was weak and he didn't respond, so Xiao Tao had no choice but to run outside, wanting to go to the Imperial Hospital to seek help from the imperial physician. However, no imperial physician came. She was terrified, but there was nothing she could do. She could only cry and kowtow here, hoping that she could alarm the emperor and save the young master's life.
