Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

Gu Shixin said that he did not blame Helian Hao, and Helian Hao thought everything was fine when he first said it. However, even though he said that, he was still listless, sitting in the car all day, not wanting to move, and eating little.

How could this still be the general king who galloped across the battlefield? But Helian Hao didn't know what the problem was.

When asked about Gu Shixin, he said "nothing". Helian Hao sent everyone who accompanied him away and helped him wash, comb and tie his hair just like he did in Desheng Hall. Gu Shixin did not refuse.

The only difference is that before, you helped me to wash and clean, and then I helped you. Now Helian Hao was reluctant to use Gu Shixin. After helping Gu Shixin, he did his own thing.

The two also washed their feet together. Apart from what happened in bed, Helian Hao saw that Gu Shixin was in a bad mood. Before Gu Shixin left Beijing, Helian Hao had said some nonsense to him that he only wanted to live for pleasure. Now he felt very uneasy and did not dare to mention this matter.

On the way back, Helian Hao was always submissive and there was no chance for them to argue.

Wu Qing naturally didn't know what was going on on their side. Ever since the day Helian Hao caught up with Gu Shixin, the two of them had never quarreled in her ears again. She just thought that they were on their way back to Beijing and there was no conflict, so everything was fine.

Doesn’t the saying go: No news is the best news?

Wu Qing was still wondering if the melon was almost eaten enough. No more melon to eat meant the two of them weren't fighting anymore.

She wondered if it would be less interesting, but then she realized that just because she didn't have any melons to eat now didn't mean she wouldn't have any in the future. Couples always have arguments, and she could continue eating then.

Wu Qing persuaded herself to be at peace and just stayed in Xifeng Pavilion to recuperate from her injuries.

The Ninth Prince Helian Han was doing his best to manage the government, and he was also very busy. When he was not attending court meetings on behalf of Helian Hao, he would handle official business in the Prime Minister's Office set up for him by his third brother.

Both of them seemed to have forgotten what had happened, or as if nothing had happened.

Wu Qing finally had three days of peace. That night, He Cui taught her to play the three-in-a-row game that she played when she was a child. It was Wu Qing's first time playing, and she played for a long time. When she wanted to go to bed, it was already late and it was completely dark outside.

He Cui went to make the bed and said to Wu Qing, "Sister, do you want to go to Ruyi's room?" She asked, but without waiting for a reply, she said, "Go ahead, go ahead. It will save you from going in the middle of the night. It will really scare people to death."

Wu Qing found it amusing to watch He Cui's wrinkled face as she turned to look at her. Ever since that day when she'd followed Qing Ping out, He Cui had watched her closely, even sleeping with one eye open in the middle of the night.

Forget it, don't let He Cui worry, Wu Qing agreed readily, "Okay, let's go."

He Cui happily stood by Wu Qing's side as they walked towards Ruyi's room.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind her. Wu Qing was startled. He Cui moved sideways to protect Wu Qing behind her and turned to see who it was.

Although the palace lanterns were not very bright, Wu Qing and He Cui held each other's hands, both feeling a little nervous.

But I saw a eunuch walking towards me quickly with a hunched back, and I couldn't see his face clearly.

He Cui: "Who? If you don't speak up, I'm going to call someone."

The hunched father-in-law raised his head, looked at He Cui who was blocking the way and said, "Sister, don't shout, it's me, Qingping."

He Cui saw clearly that it was indeed Qingping, and asked in confusion, "Eunuch Qingping, what are you doing?" Wu Qing also stuck her head out from behind He Cui and looked at her in surprise.

But Qingping took another step forward and knelt on the ground. "Qingping came here to thank you for saving my life!" As he said this, he supported himself with his hands and kowtowed three times.

Was it easy for him? He finally found a moment when Qingshan was not around to talk to his two benefactors alone.

The moment Qingping knelt down, He Cui guessed the reason and quickly took a step to the side to avoid his greeting.

He Cui's dodging exposed Wu Qing completely. She was stunned for a moment before she had already received Qing Ping's gift. She hurried forward to help him up, but Qing Ping showed no intention of getting up. With only one hand, she really couldn't do anything about him. It was so embarrassing, so she asked hurriedly, "Is your brother okay?"

Qingping kowtowed and was still kneeling on the ground. When Wu Qing asked, "Well, yes," he replied with a heavy nasal tone, both with a tearful tone.

He Cui was afraid that someone would see her, so she hurriedly advised, "It's a happy thing to see you get better, don't cry anymore, go do your job!"

Wu Qing also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and get busy!"

Your job depends on me. If people see you kneeling and kowtowing to me, it will be difficult for everyone to report.

Qingping also knew that time was running out, so she stood up and said in a low voice, "I will never forget your life-saving grace. I, I... I won't say anything, but if you two sisters need anything, just tell them. I won't say no even if my life is needed. Don't worry, sisters. I'll be leaving now." After that, she turned and ran away.

He Cui was just about to say that it had nothing to do with her, but Qingping had already stood up and ran away.

He Cui patted her chest, it was a false alarm, "I have to tell him, I just passed on a message, it wasn't me who saved his brother."

Wu Qing grabbed He Cui's arm with one hand and said, "Forget it. After all, he has to watch over me. Don't keep looking for him. It won't be good if Eunuch Yu finds out."

Besides, how come there is no conflict between Helian Hao and Gu Shixin? During the day, Helian Hao has to drive the carriage for Gu Shixin and be careful about everything. At night, he has to wait until Gu Shixin falls asleep before he dares to climb through the window to his bedside.

Gu Shixin was tired from traveling for days and his body was not as strong as before, but he still felt as if someone had come to him at night. He tried to stay awake that night, but he was sleepy and was in a daze, half asleep and half awake.

Helian Hao calculated the time and thought Gu Shixin was asleep, so he climbed through the window and entered the room again. He sat on the headboard, stroked Gu Shixin's long hair, and whispered, "Are you really going to go away alone and never see me again in this life? On the one hand, I don't believe you can be so cruel, but on the other hand, I believe you can do such a cruel thing. Just abandon me all alone and use this country as a prison..."

As she spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to Gu Shixin when he was awake, but he was afraid. He didn't dare to ask because he was afraid that if he asked, he would get a positive answer.

Gu Shixin also heard Helian Hao's words clearly. He always knew that Helian Hao's feelings for him were real, but Helian Hao's suspicion of him was also real. Helian Hao believed that he was greedy for power, so he let him take all the power.

They were all true, but they were not the truth he wanted, and they were the truth that let down his true heart.

The Gu family is full of loyal and brave people. Gu Shixin is not only a loyal minister of Dayu, but also a loyal minister of Helian Hao. How could he suspect that he was greedy for power? What could be more ironic than this?

Gu Shixin knew that he was as obsessed with this relationship as Helian Hao, and he really thought so, that he wanted to use this country as a prison, and add another shackle - I helped you to pacify this country, you must guard it well!

He twitched the corners of his mouth ever so slightly, truly sleepy, and allowed himself to drift off to sleep. With him around, he felt extra at ease.

Helian Hao felt Gu Shixin's long breathing and knew that he was sleeping very soundly, so he quietly lay down beside him.

It took the Emperor seven days to leave the city and pursue the General Wang, but it took him thirteen days to return.

The secret guards glared at each other. The emperor had to go around to a spacious inn to rest, even after dinner. If it weren't for the general's advice to only travel a short distance after dinner, it would have taken him twenty days to reach the capital.

At Desheng Hall, Yu Feng informed his master that the Emperor and General Wang had not yet returned, and that the Ninth Prince was acting as the governor. With no masters in Desheng Hall, he advised his master to take this opportunity to rest.

Su He thought about it and realized that even if he wanted to help, he wouldn't be able to do anything. So he just left everything to his apprentice and didn't go to the main hall to check.

Helian Hao brought Gu Shixin back to the capital without stopping, and did not let Gu Shixin return to the general's palace.

Gu Shixin had no intention of objecting because he knew that his life was coming to an end.

He knew that the emperor should not only be surrounded by empresses and concubines, but also must have his own offspring in order to ensure the stability of imperial power and peace in the world.

But Yu Zhen couldn't tolerate anyone else around Helian Hao. He was the lord of Dayu, and it couldn't be just his Helian Hao, so that was Gu Shixin's problem. Now it was just right, he wanted to stay with his Helian Hao and die in the harem. At least as long as he was around, there would be no one else around him.

He was already dying, eating only a little bit of food every day, and considering his injuries, he should be dead in less than a year.

He was free, no longer suffering from his own paranoia. He was also free, now having his empress, his concubines, and his children—everything an emperor should have.

When Helian Hao entered the capital, secret guards had already sent the news back to the palace.

After receiving the letter, Helian Han rode out of the palace to welcome his brother. He announced to the outside world that the emperor was still in the palace, so Helian Hao could not return to the palace so openly in broad daylight.

Helian Han asked, "Master, please go to the palace first and say you are going to visit the Emperor. Brother, please bear with me and follow me into the palace, okay?"

No one objected, so Gu Shixin went first.

Gu Shixin had figured everything out along the way, and went straight to Desheng Hall as soon as he entered the palace.

Xifeng Pavilion was originally his residence, and he naturally regarded it as his territory.

Until he walked into Xifeng Pavilion and saw a young woman in casual clothes leaning on the Luohan couch reading a book...
