Looking at Jiang Baitong's back as he knelt on the ground, Gu Beichen felt very uncomfortable.

Jiang Baitong used to be by Gu Beichen's side, responsible for taking care of his food, clothing, and daily life. However, when Gu Beichen wanted to leave the palace and set up his own residence, Jiang Baitong refused to leave with him and chose to stay in the palace.

Gu Beichen once asked him why, and he simply said that he was used to life in the palace and wanted to stay in the palace, preferably to serve the emperor.

Gu Beichen was only eight years old at the time, and he couldn't understand why the person who had always been by his side suddenly didn't want to follow him.

He was very angry at the time and had a tantrum before leaving the palace. Seeing that Jiang Baitong refused to change his mind, he walked awkwardly to Emperor Tianchen and told him that he wanted Jiang Baitong to stay by his side and serve him.

Little Gu Beichen didn't know that in fact, he didn't need to tell him at all, Jiang Baitong was also going to return to Emperor Tianchen. He was originally Emperor Tianchen's man, but was later arranged to be by the side of the late queen, and later followed him to serve him personally.

Jiang Baitong returned to serve Emperor Tianchen, but he was only serving his old master. He was also the only one who could speak his heart out to Emperor Tianchen, because he had served in the Qifeng Palace of the late queen.

After Gu Beichen left, Emperor Tianchen no longer had the heart to review the memorials. "Go, bring me the osmanthus wine brewed by Qing'er."

Qing'er was Emperor Tianchen's white moonlight and also his queen. Unfortunately, she suffered a severe postpartum hemorrhage and passed away alone, leaving behind the father and son.

Qing'er's full name is Mu Xueqing. She is a childhood sweetheart of Emperor Tianchen. She is not only naturally beautiful but also extremely intelligent. She can learn anything quickly. There is nothing she cannot learn. The osmanthus wine she brews is the most popular with Emperor Tianchen.

After Mu Xueqing passed away, Emperor Tianchen would always dig out the wine she brewed and drink a glass of it whenever he was in a bad mood.

Of course, at the beginning, she didn't drink it cup by cup, but gulped it down jar by jar. Later, she found that there was not much wine left, so she changed to drinking it in small cups.

Even so, the wine could not withstand a few drinks. He had planned to wait until Gu Beichen's wedding to drink the few remaining jars. The next time would be when he drank his grandson's full moon banquet.

But now, he can't wait any longer.

Jiang Baitong stiffened his neck and refused, "Your Majesty, you are not in good health right now. Apart from wine, I can give you anything else you want to drink, except wine."

Emperor Tianchen's face darkened. Who didn't let me drink tea just now?

"Go, if you don't go get some wine, I'll chop off your head!"

Jiang Baitong shuddered all over, knowing that Emperor Tianchen was really angry. He could not suppress the residual power of the dragon's roar, so he had to lower his head to look for osmanthus wine.

Soon, the wine was brought in, and when the cork was pulled out, the whole hall was filled with fragrance.

"Why is there only one cup? Go get another one. You old servant, don't you have to drink a couple of cups with me?"

Jiang Baitong felt bitter. If he really accompanied the emperor to drink, who would clean up the mess after the emperor got drunk?

But he miscalculated how upset Emperor Tianchen was at the moment, and he insisted on asking him to get the cups, and in the end they drank one cup each.

Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the entire hall, and no one saw the king's loss of composure at this moment.

"Old Jiang, do you think I really did something wrong?"

"I dare not speak nonsense."

"Old slave, I gave you some wine to give you courage, but you still told me not to speak nonsense. You are playing tricks on me."

Emperor Tianchen was a bit drunk. "So many years have passed, and that brat still holds a grudge. I'm his father, but he wants to kill me. Sometimes I really think I should have followed Qing'er and left. I wouldn't have been without anyone to talk to all these years."

Jiang Baitong shuddered in fear. "Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about? The King of Qin was angry with you because he didn't know about it. Even so, he wouldn't have the intention to kill his father. Your Majesty, please don't overthink it. If you scare me to death, you really won't find anyone to talk to you."

Emperor Tianchen seemed to be comforted and nodded, "I know you're just sweet-talking. Wait a little longer. Once he's more mature, it's time to put the burden on his shoulders."

"Your Majesty, I understand your pain. Your Majesty also cares for you. Otherwise, you would have taken me away earlier. Please don't be angry with the King of Qin.

"He caused such a big incident this time to clear the Mu family's name, but the aristocratic families are so intertwined and intertwined that it's impossible to overturn them so easily. He's still young and doesn't understand, but Your Majesty does. You have to be more considerate of him, otherwise he'll have to follow in your footsteps."
