This was the plot of the original book, and now that Wu Qing had stirred things up, she couldn't say anything. She coughed dryly, "Don't be so modest. What's so great that the General King can't cause trouble? Which of the Five Poisons of Buddhism* don't you cling to? Which of the Five Poisons of the Marketplace don't you miss? If he hadn't brought you back, what else would I need to say?"

"The five poisons of the city? Prostitution and drugs, when have I ever been exposed to them?" Gu Shixin was also dissatisfied with this, as he was obviously a very clean person.

Wu Qing rolled her eyes. "You just haven't touched it yet. If the dog emperor hadn't chased you back, you would have taken it all." "Don't pretend. After you vomited blood, were you thinking about looking for Wu Shi San?"

When Gu Shixin heard this, this... If Luo Yu hadn't known what it was and refused to find it for him, he wouldn't have waited until today.

Gu Shixin touched his nose. Didn't he find it yet? "Why are you talking about this?" he said with a lack of confidence.

Wu Qing: "Don't worry about what it is, you have plenty of tricks to do."

She was a little excited about the conversation, and somehow she started calling each other "you" and "me". I realized it and paused, not having the courage to go back on my words. What I had said had already been said, so let it be!

Gu Shixin didn't say yes or no, but the corners of his mouth curved up. This palace maid was no ordinary person. She knew too much, many of which were impossible for a third person to know. There was something fishy about it.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and someone came in aggressively.

Although Gu Shixin felt that what the little palace maid said made sense, he still wanted to see what expression this person would have when facing the current emperor.

Are the things she said sincere?

During dinner, Helian Hao saw that Gu Shixin seemed calm on the surface, but he didn't want to say anything to him. He felt frustrated and had no place to vent his anger. It was not good to go to the cabinet lobby with such anger. When he arrived there, he realized that something was wrong and turned to go to the Prime Minister's Office which was separated by a wall.

When Helian Han saw his brother coming, he talked about water conservancy. He was thinking about his brother's return and resigning from his position as regent. He wanted to personally survey the water system and geological conditions in the suburbs of Beijing, and draw up a blueprint to provide a detailed basis for subsequent thorough water control.

Speaking of business, Helian Hao's troubled heart calmed down a little. He thought that his ninth brother's idea was very good and was discussing whether he needed to do it himself.

A young eunuch came to report that General Wang was throwing things.

Helian Hao became anxious when he heard this, "Why did he fall down?"

Helian Han was listening nearby. When he heard that someone had fallen, he quickly grabbed his third brother and advised, "Don't be anxious." He then asked the young eunuch to explain in more detail.

The young eunuch replied, "I was not in the West Chamber. I only saw things scattered on the floor outside, but no one fell."

Helian Hao finally felt relieved and ordered, "Return to Desheng Hall."

Helian Han also stood up and followed him.

The two men strode in and saw Wu Qing sitting next to Gu Shixin eating fruit.

Helian Hao's eyes were about to burst into flames. Who was this person? Sitting next to Gu Shixin! How dare she?!

Helian Han looked at it and understood in his heart, it turned out that he looked down on me, the Ninth Prince. However, he had some tricks and could actually live in peace with the master.

Although the master never showed his jealousy, Helian Han knew how jealous he was.

The Empress Dowager wanted to let the Emperor choose a concubine, so she invited many female relatives to the palace banquets in recent years, and naturally some of them presented their talents, singing and dancing.

Whenever this happened, my brother would always be covered in wounds the next day, saying, "I just practiced some boxing and kicking with Shi Xin, but if I don't practice martial arts again, my skills will be ruined."

This little palace maid could actually sit next to him so peacefully. Could it be that the master would not fight with women, but would have a fight with the emperor at night?

Helian Hao was angry because Gu Shixin smiled warmly at a palace maid; secondly, he was so concerned that he didn't notice the harmonious atmosphere in the room. He became anxious just by looking at the mess on the floor. Why was this man so angry? Did he want to leave the palace?

He walked a few steps to Gu Shixin's front. He was holding back his anger but didn't dare to show it to his face. He could only glare at the little palace maid who still had one arm hanging.

Wu Qing felt the emperor's anger and couldn't help laughing, and stole a glance at Gu Shixin.

Gu Shixin also understood in his heart that the emperor was jealous. He did not give him a good face, but was very friendly to this pair of palace maids.

Helian Hao glared at the ignorant little maidservant and said, "Come here, take this maidservant away..."

Wu Qing didn't want to die, so she stood up and spoke to save her life without even saying anything polite. She blurted out the words: "The general is thinking about the emperor!"

Helian Hao: ...

Why does this little palace maid speak so pleasantly? I like to listen to her. Please speak more!

That expression changed from anger and jealousy to the clouds and fog dissipating and the sun shining brightly in just a moment.

Gu Shixin: ...

My face, which I had kept secret from the palace servants except Su He for three years, was torn off so gorgeously?

It was so embarrassing, my face turned red all the way to my ears and then to my neck.

Su He: ...

No, who can tell him that this is okay? Won't the Emperor and the General be angry?

His heart was beating so fast. When the emperor almost exposed the incident to the public, General Wang wanted to kill someone and even commit suicide.

Helian Han followed: ...

Helian Han's eyes flickered between his master and Wu Qing. He wanted to know what she had said and done. His master wasn't angry at all after she said this. What a trick! How did she do it?

Apart from anything else, he wanted to consult her on this matter itself and needed to sit down and discuss it in detail. Regardless of her purpose, being able to convince the master was already a great achievement.

Seeing that the other people present were nailed to the ground, Wu Qing smiled and continued, "Your Majesty, the General King is hungry!"

She saw Helian Han. Although she didn't want to admit it, it would have been fine if she hadn't seen him. As soon as she saw him, she felt a little flustered. She was really a scumbag, but the man she treated as a scumbag was too handsome.

Oh! If only our values ​​were the same, how could I bear to dump him?

"This... spread, spread..." Helian Hao's tongue and mouth were a little out of control.

Su He hurriedly helped the emperor shout, "Serve the meal—"

The emperor didn't eat much in the evening, so Su Heben ordered the imperial kitchen to keep the dishes warm. This meant that the meal would be served quickly. After a while, the palace servants brought the table over.

Helian Hao had come back to his senses and sat next to Gu Shixin and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Wu Qing naturally had no place to sit, and she cursed the dog emperor in her heart. She reached out to take the fruit beside her and handed it to Gu Shixin, trying her best to smile like a flower. "This is delicious. If you don't want to eat, try some fruit to whet your appetite."

Gu Shixin could tell Wu Qing was deliberately trying to piss off Helian Hao; this palace maid was truly incredibly bold. He found it amusing, but seeing Helian Hao so angry, he was also afraid of implicating this rather amusing little palace maid. He reached out and pushed the fruit plate away, "If you think it's delicious, I'll give it to you. You just said it was nutritious, give it to me and try it."

The emperor watched Gu Shixin smile at the maidservant and was secretly trying to gather his strength, thinking of throwing him to the laundry department once he got out of this room. Suddenly, Gu Shixin said he wanted to eat something, and it was the maidservant who recommended it. This...

Wu Qing had no idea what nourishing food was, but it didn't matter to her because the table was full of food and nothing on it was bad.

Wu Qing walked over and opened a covered bowl. She didn't know what kind of soup it was, but she scooped out a small bowl and was about to hand it over.

The emperor stretched out his long arm, took it, took a small spoon and put it into the bowl, smiling, "This duck soup..."

Gu Shixin had only said half of his words when he stood up from his chair and knelt on the ground with a solemn expression, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The emperor was stunned at first, then he coughed dryly.

Su He immediately said, "I'll take my leave." He also gave Wu Qing a wink.

Wu Qing didn't understand what it meant, but that didn't stop her from following suit. Seeing the other palace people bowing and retreating, she followed suit.

After leaving the room, she asked, "Eunuch Su, what does this mean?"

Su He put his hands in his sleeves and looked up and down at this insignificant little palace maid who only knew how to serve the flowers and trees. "Wu Qing, right? Serve the general well, and you will have a good life in the future."

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Do you know?" He didn't ask what he knew, but if someone knew, they would know what he was referring to.

Wu Qing nodded: "Yes, I understand, so I advised the general not to harm his own body. The right thing to do is to tell the emperor what you want."

Su He was very satisfied, "Yes, that's the truth."

Wu Qing continued to ask: "Then can this servant know why we retreated just now?"

Su He waved his hand, and the people around him immediately stepped back. Then he said, "The general king doesn't want others to see the emperor serving him meals." After saying that, he gave Wu Qing a look that said, "You understand, right?"

The emperor served Gu Shixin with meals - oh, by the way, before the two of them separated in this sad story, they were so sweet and they were still quite doting on each other.

Wu Qing understood, so among the countless palace maids in the palace, no one except this eunuch Su knew that the emperor respected not only the general king, but his favorite!

This is a very tight concealment!

She suddenly remembered that the original book said that when sleeping at night, there was no one to serve in the entire Desheng Palace. No matter whether it was the palace maids on duty or the guards or secret guards, they all had to stay outside the palace.

Oh, and when she first came through, she saw the two of them clashing and fighting, but Gu Shixin still tried his best not to make any noise.

Now Wu Qing understood that whether the two people inside were fighting or doing business, they didn't want others to hear them.

Gu Shixin's hobby is really strange. Shouldn't he show off after capturing the emperor?

Eunuch Su flicked his whisk and turned around to stand guard outside Desheng Hall.

*

Seeing that all the palace people had retreated, Helian Han wanted to say a few words of advice, but seeing how worthless his third brother looked, he gave up and said nothing. He left the West Chamber a little later and closed the door behind them.

When he came out, his eyes instinctively searched for the little palace maid whose arm was injured, but he saw that her face was sometimes gloomy and sometimes bright, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

She must be planning how to get closer to her master. Not to mention, this move was actually the right one.

She couldn't climb onto Third Brother's bed by herself, but if it was Master who sent it to her, it would be hard to say. After all, Master knew that Third Brother must have a successor, and such a smart woman was willing to promote the stability of the relationship between Third Brother and Master.

Not only did Master agree, Third Brother also agreed, but even I thought this was the best option.

Originally, this was a good result that he could never get in his dreams. Helian Han felt that he should be happy, at least in theory. However, after he analyzed all the people in his mind and felt that this was not bad, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.

Why? What's wrong? Is there any other problem with Wu Qing that I haven't considered?

*

When Helian Hao entered the room and saw the deliberately scattered things on the ground, the first thing he thought of was that Gu Shixin wanted to leave the palace. He was so angry that he didn't dare to express it. He was about to ask Gu Shixin if she wanted to go on a hunger strike just to force him to leave, but he didn't expect that the little palace maid he wanted to vent his anger on said that Gu Shixin missed him. He felt that everything that happened afterwards was a dream, and Gu Shixin was willing to eat.

The uneasiness and anger in his chest disappeared without a trace, and he smiled unconsciously. Seeing Gu Shixin finish a bowl of duck soup and half a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, Helian Hao couldn't stop smiling. He ate quite a bit along with him, not only trying all the dishes that Gu Shixin had tried, but also eating the remaining eight-treasure porridge.

When someone came to clear away the dinner, Helian Hao was still in a daze. Gu Shixin smiled at him, but his eyes were not so cold anymore. He no longer gave him the impression that he was ready to leave the palace at any time.

His heart no longer floated in the air, but settled down on the ground...

Is this really not a dream? His brother Gu is back again. Can they still be as good as before he didn't suspect him?

Helian Hao put one hand on Gu Shixin's hand, and seeing that he didn't object, he quietly took his hand again and asked carefully, "You must be tired from the journey. How about going to Dong'an Hall to relax and have a good soak?"

Gu Shixin looked at the two holding hands, feeling soothed. "How can you be tired? It only took a few hours of driving on the way back? It's really not long before you say you're tired and want to rest. If I hadn't urged you, you'd still be on the road now!"

Helian Hao's eyes curved with a smile. Gu Shixin hadn't spoken to him so kindly along the way. "Yes, yes, yes, you're right. Then how about going to the hot spring?"

Gu Shixin shook his head. "No, I'll just take a shower here. I'm sleepy."

Helian Hao was also worried that Gu Shixin would get tired, so he shouted to the door, "Prepare some water."

"Prepare water" is obviously a simple two words, and neither of them had any romantic thoughts in their minds at this moment. However, Gu Shixin heard an ambiguous tone from Helian Hao's voice. Gu Shixin raised his phoenix eyes to look at Helian Hao, his eyes full of teasing.

Helian Hao suddenly felt inexplicably guilty: "Well, if you don't want to, I won't force you anymore. I don't have to ask for pleasure, no..." He also knew what he had said when he was stupid, and his tongue suddenly became a little tied. He looked at Gu Shixin for a while.

Gu Shixin also thought about what happened at that time. If he didn't want him to succeed, did he really think he could force himself? He just looked at him without saying anything.

Helian Hao still held Gu Shixin's hand, feeling a little relieved. "As long as you're here with me, I won't be obsessed with that little thing all day long."

If Wu Qing were here, she would be so angry that she would die. Does this person know where he is wrong? This is not the key issue!

"How addicted are you?" Gu Shixin slowly reached out and untied the belt around his waist...
