Chapter 40: Entering the Imperial City, but Cannot Return Home
Hearing the calm voice inside, the boy did not hesitate, but directly opened the door and walked in. He slowly turned his back to close the door, then slowly turned his back to lean against the door and looked at the man.
The man seemed to have just washed up, with a little water stain on the end of his hair, flowing from the roots of his hair to his white chest like a slide.
The sound of swallowing saliva was heard around the boy. Although the sound was very small, the boy thought he was the only one who could hear it. However, the man leaning on the edge of the bed chuckled, closed the book, raised his head, and beckoned to him.
The boy looked at his half-smile, and his heart was immediately alarmed. Like a crab, he moved towards the wall tremblingly, reached out his hand to grab a stool, carefully shrank his neck and looked at him. Seeing that he didn't move, he sat down.
Gu Yanming looked at his cautious appearance and couldn't help but smile. He looked at him with a teasing look in his eyes, "Are you afraid of me?"
Wen Baixu looked at his iconic look and nodded blankly, but then he realized that he must be holding back a fart in this state, just like the last time he was hung upside down, and the time before that when he had to trick himself into thinking something was sweet even though it was obviously bitter, causing him to vomit for a long time. Anyway, he didn't want to offend anyone but him... so he shook his head again.
"Then why don't you come over? Come on, little sir!"
Gu Yanming looked at the boy with a smile and hooked his finger
Wen Baixu looked at him with a vigilant expression, crossed his arms, and stared at him intently, as if he was a flower thief.
"I don't want it. If you have something to say, just say it here. I think the distance between us is pretty good. Have you heard that distance creates beauty?"
The man smiled and shook his head, but his big, bony hands made a countdown gesture: 3, 2...
"Okay...I can come over! That's enough, but I'm telling you, don't do that this time..."
The man nodded immediately and opened his arms.
Wen Baixu walked towards the bed reluctantly, took off his shoes, crawled to his arms, turned over and sat upright on his chest.
Just when he closed his eyes and felt uneasy, a big hand slowly and quietly touched his cheek.
Suddenly, a sour feeling spread from the muscle nerves in his cheeks to the central nervous system of his brain. The boy stood there numbly, his neck tilted, and with lightning speed, he slapped the hand on his face.
There was a loud 'slap' sound, and a red slap mark appeared on the boy's chubby cheek that he had cultivated over the past few months.
"Ah! Gu~Yan~Ming~"
The boy gnashed his teeth and uttered each word.
The man was not angry when he heard his voice. He was like he had found a fun toy and said softly, "What do you want to call me Master?"
Suddenly, before the man had even paused for half a second, he heard a hearty laugh.
"Hahahahaha..."
At this moment, his smile was particularly harsh beside the boy's ears, as if he was mocking him. He immediately turned around and stretched out his hand towards his face, but was quickly covered by the man's broad palm. A smiling voice asked with a smile: "Don't you want people to tell the truth? Aren't you a teacher who should say what needs to be said and not lie? Why are you unhappy now?"
"I! Okay, okay, you want to say that, right..." The young man's eyes rolled, and his left hand suddenly attacked, twisting his hidden red, and looked at him proudly.
The man originally just wanted to tease him a few times, but he didn't expect that this guy would really take revenge, and he would focus on places he couldn't imagine... His face was slightly stiff, and his lips slowly opened, "Let go"
"Let go first"
The young man looked at him without showing any weakness, his face slightly raised, his eyes narrowed as he looked at him
"Okay, then let's let go at the same time." The man gritted his teeth and looked at him angrily.
This was the first time the boy saw such an expression on his face, and he nodded.
Wen Baixu counted quietly, and when the last count was finished, the two of them slowly put down their hands. The young man looked at him unconvinced, rubbing his cheek with one hand.
"You're much more interesting now than before."
The boy listened to his words, puzzled, and as if he was being kept in the dark, he immediately looked at him questioningly.
The man ignored his gaze, ruffled his hair and sighed.
"Alas, you will know some things later, but it is not the right time for you now."
"So when is the time?"
Hearing this, the man looked at the person who was determined to know the truth, paused and shook his head.
"You...I really don't understand what you are hiding, what is there that I can't know...I am not a child anymore, and after all the experiences along the way, can't you trust me..."
Before the young man finished speaking, he felt a hand on his head hooking a strand of hair, and looked at him with a light tone, "How about this, let's make a promise: when I am at the pinnacle of power, the day when I am above everyone else, I will tell you everything, okay?"
"You mean... let me fight..."
The boy was halfway through his words when he saw the man narrow his eyes and nodded, and continued: "As long as you understand, as long as you do it, I will obey you unconditionally."
"Really?"
Although Wen Baixu had never thought about what he said, he just wanted to finish it well and return to his own world to achieve his ideal life. But if he didn't say this, Wen Baixu would become a little interested again. After all, there are not many opportunities that can drive him.
The young man immediately showed a meaningful smile, looked at him and nodded.
The man poked his head with his hand without changing his expression, then looked at him seriously.
"What follows is extremely important. You were only a few years old when you left. Although you are old enough to remember things, I still want to give you some instructions."
The young man sat up straight and looked at him intently.
"Do you still remember the name of His Majesty?"
The young man tilted his head and thought for a moment, then stuttered, "Your Majesty has established himself in the world with his benevolent rule. He is a well-deserved wise ruler. His name is Wen... Wen... Wen Yijun."
Gu Yanming smiled and glanced at him, then nodded, "Not bad, at least you still remember it. Just speak properly next time and don't stutter."
The boy glared at him and thought silently: Don’t I have a bad memory? If I can remember everything, what else can I ask you?
The man looked into his eyes, silently put his hand on his head and continued to ask: "Do you remember the things I said before?"
The boy turned his head, trying to shake his hand off, but it was in vain, so he just nodded resignedly.
"I remember. Of course I remember. During this journey, you should tell me whenever you have free time. My ears are all callused."
As he spoke, the young man first raised his first finger and said, "My eldest brother, my name is Wen Yuan. I was born when Your Majesty was still in the residence. Although I was born to a concubine, I am now registered under the name of the Queen. My mother passed away two years ago due to illness. Due to the congenital deficiency brought from the womb, I have always been sickly."
The man nodded and pressed his head, motioning him to continue.
The boy shrank his neck when his hand pressed on him, and looked at him with an unhappy face.
"The second prince, named Wen Qi, was born as a result of an 'unintentional' act by His Majesty. His biological mother remains a mystery. He has an unpredictable personality and is difficult to get along with."
"The third prince, his name is: Wen Yan. His mother is the close friend of the Emperor and Empress. She married into the family when they were still in the Qian Residence. He was born a few years after Your Majesty ascended the throne. He is gentle and kind, and is loved by Your Majesty and everyone else."
"The fourth and fifth princes are twins named Wen Xu and Wen Er. They are the sons of Consort Hua, who is second only to the emperor in the Shengqian Dynasty. Consort Hua is the daughter of Prime Minister Hua."
"The Sixth Prince and the only eldest princess of the dynasty were born to the Emperor and Empress. Their names are Wen Xu and Wen Wanwan. The Emperor and Empress have been looking forward to them for many years, so they are particularly favored, which leads to their somewhat vicious personalities."
"The Seventh and Eighth Princes were both born to your Majesty's nobles. Their names are Wen Ya and Wen Ting. They have grown up well, but there are countless dark and treacherous things in this palace, so they have been living on thin ice."
At this point, the boy stopped talking and looked at him proudly, as if to say, "Look how good my memory is."
The man glanced at him and then reminded him, "That's right. At least your brothers have remembered it, and your Majesty's name has been remembered. What about the Queen's?"
The boy propped up his chin, looked at him and shook his head.
The man poked his cheek as if he knew it.
"You! Remember, the current emperor and empress are as famous as Prime Minister Hua. They are from the Qinghe Li family, a powerful family in the Shengqian Dynasty. The empress's name is: Li Yuan, and her brother is the first general, named Li Chao. He has made great contributions to our Shengqian Dynasty many times, but..."
The man's eyes slowly moved downward, revealing a trace of barely perceptible disgust.
The young man looked at the man in front of him, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Just as he was about to ask, he heard the man say, "He is very good at martial arts. You can learn from him, but this person..."
"what happened?"
The boy looked at him puzzledly.
The man's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "He is a stingy person. He has been chasing me for the money I owed him... But he is a carefree person and easy to get along with, but he is too stingy."
"Uh~ this......"
The young man looked at him with disdain, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
The two talked for a long time, the candles crackling again and again, until the boy in front of the man could no longer hold on and fell directly into his arms, snoring and falling asleep.
The man smiled and stroked his hair, then turned off the light and fell asleep.
The next day, several people got up early, packed up, said goodbye to the post station, and drove towards the imperial city not far away. Until they arrived at the city gate, they just entered the imperial city with a group of people, and saw a group of people standing at the gate. The leader was a smiling eunuch. When he saw the carriage coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, hanging the whisk on his left hand.
"Finally, the Imperial Master has returned. Your Majesty has been waiting impatiently for his return. Now that the Imperial Master has arrived, please follow me into the palace."
As he spoke, he turned sideways and looked at the stopped carriage.
After a while, a man in a black fur coat came down, bowed to the eunuch who was speaking, and said politely, "Thank you, Eunuch Yuan. I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me so urgently. Does 'he' also need to follow him into the palace?"
The man called Eunuch Yuan smiled on his wrinkled face, walked forward a few steps, supported Gu Yanming, and said softly: "The palace has been haunted these days. I don't know if it's because of the strange stars, so your majesty has been worried and can't sleep these days. And the worst one this time is that 'palace garden'. There are rumors that he was seen walking around there every night, but that person..."
He stopped talking and looked towards the carriage, with an unnoticeable fear in his eyes.
Gu Yanming lowered his eyes dimly, then bowed, walked to the side of the carriage, and knocked on the window.
The window opened after he knocked for the second time. Qiu Yu looked at him in confusion.
The man said in a low voice, "Take him back to the Imperial Master's Mansion first. I have to go to the palace. Remember, he is not allowed to go anywhere until I come back."
After saying this, he told the coachman to drive slowly towards the city.
Qiu Yu, who had stuck his head out of the window, nodded with a worried look on his face. He swallowed back the words he wanted to ask, slowly retracted his head, and closed the window.
