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

As soon as they left Desheng Hall, Su He said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Mu will be at Kunyi Palace soon."

Helian Hao nodded, "That was arranged quickly enough!"

Besides, Gu Shixin looked at Helian Hao's hurried back and knew that he had made Helian Hao unhappy again. He curled the corners of his mouth, thinking it was really ironic.

What kind of person is this? The scar hasn't even healed yet, and he's already forgotten the pain. He left the palace because he'd provoked his suspicion by participating in politics and taking power. Why was he still thinking of discussing Northern Frontier affairs with him? He really didn't know how to live or die.

Before I came back with him, I should have been prepared to be a canary in a cage. If I couldn't be one, what was the point of coming back?

He is Helian Hao, but he is also the emperor. How can he tolerate others acting on their own again and again?

How did the emperor punish him last time when he acted on his own?

Wasn't it during the chilly spring of this year that he was made to kneel on the stone steps outside the temple for two hours?

Gu Shixin lowered his eyebrows and smiled at himself.

Now that Helian Hao knows his physical condition, he will not punish him like that, but so what?

He's still unhappy with his political participation and wants an explanation, right? Here you go.

Come on, let's tear everything apart. Who told you, Helian Hao, to fall for the wolf? I don't have much time left anyway, and I don't want to swallow my anger, nor do I want to give in to you in everything, and I don't want to be confined in this palace like a sheep.

I will take care of the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, unless I die.

Gu Shixin walked straight to the courtyard outside Desheng Hall and looked up at the sun. He was feeling cold, but it was not a big deal under the sun. It was a pity that it was already sunset and it would probably set in less than an hour.

Helian Hao found a place in the courtyard that was not blocked by the shade of trees or walls and knelt down.

Kneeling in the place he was most familiar with in the entire palace, Helian Hao had no hatred in his heart. He just wanted to fight for the right to speak in the court. Even if his body was not well, he was still a man on horseback, a general king who defended Dayu.

The ground was made of bluestone. After kneeling for a while, Helian Hao's knees began to ache. This body was indeed delicate. He emptied his mind and stopped thinking about the present and his knees. He thought about other things to distract himself.

Three years ago, Gu Shixin returned to Beijing in triumph. Helian Hao personally welcomed him out of the city gate and let him get on the imperial sedan chair in front of all the people in the city.

Behind the thin curtain, Helian Hao hugged him tightly, lips and tongue pressed together, silently expressing his longing for him.

Beyond the curtains were palace attendants, guards, and ceremonial guards, and even further away were the jubilant people...

Later they entered the palace, and Gu Shixin felt that he could no longer stay in the imperial sedan chair, otherwise he would suffocate to death.

The two walked side by side to the hall, and he looked up at his emperor from the imperial steps.

That was the person he watched grow up, the most beautiful person in the world, and also the lover he loved the most.

He just looked at his emperor until the ceremony was over. He then walked down from his perch and stood beside him. The two of them walked side by side, just as they had walked shoulder to shoulder in the palace many years ago.

Gu Shixin was very happy that day, happy from the bottom of his heart. His body could no longer wear armor and go on an expedition, and he wanted to walk hand in hand with this man for the rest of his life.

He suggested taking a walk in the palace, just like before, and they walked slowly along the palace path.

He told him about the unfamiliar corners he had never been to; he told him about the palace paths they had run along together, the stone steps they had sat on together, the courtyards they had climbed through together...

When they arrived at Ruixiang Hall, Gu Shixin wanted to go in and take a look. This was the Shangshu Room where they had been raised since childhood, and where they had been punished by the Grand Tutor with a ruler.

Eunuch Yu, who had just met Gu Shixin for the first time, came out to greet him. He had only been the head of Ruixiang Hall for a few days at that time. Seeing that General Wang wanted to take a look at this place, he introduced it to the side: "This Ruixiang Hall is far from the central axis, and there is no square in front of the main palace. The main entrance is this side door facing east.

You see, in this palace, apart from the outer courtyard surrounded by ancillary rooms, there is a crowded inner courtyard.

Look at this main hall, it has three bays. Although the palace has two entrances, the distance between them is very close, and the space on both sides of the hall is not bright.

But I'm afraid you haven't seen it before. Let me tell you, this place is very similar to the courtyards of ordinary people's homes in the city. The courtyards of my homes in the village are more spacious than this..."

The two men listened to the young eunuch's chattering side by side, and there were smiles in their eyes when they looked at each other several times. This was the place where they had spent the longest time together, and they were more familiar with it than the young eunuch. However, it was particularly interesting to listen to another person's comments.

It wasn't until the young eunuch said, "This place is very similar to the courtyards of ordinary people's homes in the city," that Gu Shixin's heart was suddenly hit. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself, wondering what was wrong with him.

He had decided since childhood that he was a member of the royal family, and was destined not to have the luxury of living the ordinary life of ordinary people.

Gu Shixin said to the emperor beside him, "Really? When I was in the Shangshufang, I didn't dare to look around. Now, how about going and taking a closer look?"

But Helian Hao said, "Go back and take a break first, then come back!"

Looking at Helian Hao's troubled look, Gu Shixin nodded.

The two of them arrived at the Zichen Palace, which was the emperor's bedroom at the time. After changing out of their gorgeous clothes, as soon as Gu Shixin fell asleep, Helian Hao walked out of the Zichen Palace and waved to call Eunuch Su.

"The back hall of Ruixiang Hall hasn't been used for a while, right? Have it cleaned up right away. Don't deliberately replace all the items with new ones; just use the old ones that are already there, as long as they are clean.

Shi Xin wanted to take a look at the old place. He was always very clean, so he must have tidied up every corner.

Helian Hao didn't know that years of fighting had made Gu Shixin extremely alert. Not only would he be awakened by the slightest sound of talking, but he would also be awakened by the slightest movement that others couldn't detect. So he listened to every word Helian Hao said.

Eunuch Su responded, "I'll go right away. I'll personally supervise them cleaning."

When he woke up again, he saw Helian Hao reading a book he didn't know what it was.

When Helian Hao saw Gu Shixin wake up, he hurriedly brought a glass of water over. Gu Shixin stood up a little and put it to his lips, "Drink some water to moisten your throat. Aren't you going to see the Shangshufang? I've been waiting for you for a while."

He stood in the center of the Ruixiang Hall courtyard again. When he was little, perhaps because he was small, he thought the place was very big, but now he didn't feel that way anymore. Instead, he felt a very intimate and comfortable feeling.

He turned around and around for a few times but still didn't want to leave.

Helian Hao noticed it and asked, "Do you like this?"

He nodded, secretly happy in his heart. This place felt most like an ordinary person's home. "Yeah! This is the place I'm most familiar with in the entire palace. It feels like home."

Home?! This word also touched Helian Hao, and he immediately said: "Then stay here tonight, Su He, change the bedding in the back room."

Then I turned to him and asked, "Which one do you like?"

He was looking at the room where the books were stored in the Shangshufang. "The west room, there's a small courtyard outside the window. It's in full bloom now."

In fact, he had wanted to see what the Grand Tutor had hidden in the west room since he was a child, but he always kept them from entering. Now he had the chance...

Gu Shixin, kneeling in the courtyard, felt a slight chill rising from the bluestone beneath his knees and pressing straight into his body. Only then did he notice that the sun had already set behind the palace wall.

It really caught everyone off guard when a group of people hurriedly walked towards the gate.

Gu Shixin just saw the last ray of light in the sky, then looked at the gate which was a little dark and he couldn't make out the people, but in a flash the people appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty..." Gu Shixin swallowed and looked at Helian Hao indifferently, his voice a little hoarse.

"Don't call me!" Helian Hao's eyes were red, and he couldn't hide the hostility in his eyes.

The heat of early autumn that had not yet dissipated suddenly turned cold. The people around shuddered with fear and even breathed slower, wishing they were frozen in time for fear of being affected by the emperor's anger.

Gu Shixin looked into the emperor's eyes, and his fingers pressed on the ground curled up and began to tremble.

This body is really a bit unbearable, but fortunately it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Now his body is getting worse. This summer, others are talking about the heat, but he didn't sweat at all. Now that the sun has just set, he can no longer feel the warmth, but only the cold.

My legs and feet are stiff from kneeling, and my knees ache. I remember crouching in the winter snow for a whole day, just to evade an ambush. I didn't expect that kneeling in the spring chill was unbearable, and now in early autumn, I can't bear it either.

Helian Hao raised his hand suddenly. He really wanted to slap Gu Shixin. Gu Shixin did not dodge, but just lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he was ready to be killed.

The palm wind was wrapped in coldness, but it was stopped abruptly in front of his cheek.

Wu Qing watched as Helian Hao's hands slowly clenched into fists in front of Gu Shixin's cheeks. His joints quickly turned white and made crackling sounds. He took a deep breath and used all his self-control to suppress his rage.

She could see that the emperor was on the verge of explosion, but why?

Why was the General Wang, whom he wanted to hold in his hands, kneeling on the ground, and it seemed like he had been kneeling for a while.

She was a weak person, so she couldn't act rashly before she had a clearer understanding of the situation. She had to wait and see what was going on.

After taking a few deep breaths, Helian Hao slowly opened his eyes. The hostility in his eyes was gone, but they were still bloodshot.

He asked, "Why?" His voice was hoarse.

Gu Shixin looked at him and smiled faintly, "The last time I disobeyed the emperor, didn't the emperor make me kneel in this courtyard? It was two hours, right? The emperor said, it's just two hours, a minor punishment, a major warning.

So, since the emperor wants an explanation, I took the initiative to kneel down. Because I can't give an explanation that the emperor will be satisfied with..."

Before Gu Shixin finished speaking, Helian Hao's memories of the past came flooding back -

Just over half a year ago, on this very bluestone floor, he punished him by making him kneel...

The anger that had been barely suppressed suddenly rose up again, and the hand that had been put down was suddenly raised.

Gu Shixin didn't expect that he still angered Helian Hao. He was defeated completely. He closed his eyes and didn't want to see how the slap fell on his face, but he didn't retreat at all. He stretched his neck and waited for the pain.

There was only a crisp sound echoing in his ears, but there was no pain. Gu Shixin frowned and opened his eyes to look over.

A red palm print appeared on the emperor's fair cheek, and it swelled up instantly.

Gu Shixin jumped up, raised his hand to block Helian Hao's hand, and prevented the second slap from falling.

"Your Majesty, what is this doing?" Gu Shixin felt distressed, but he hid it, revealing only confusion in his eyes.

Helian Hao stared into Gu Shixin's eyes and roared, "Gu Shixin! I shouldn't have done that before. It was all my fault. You can punish me however you want. Just say the word. Don't torture me with yourself anymore, okay?"

Gu Shixin had been kneeling for an hour, and his legs and feet had been so painful that they were numb and he could no longer feel anything.

I just jumped up out of excitement, how could I stand still after that?

Helian Hao was still angry and wanted to say something, but he saw Gu Shixin's body falling to the side without his control...

Helian Hao hugged Gu Shixin and asked anxiously: "What happened? Don't be angry, don't be angry..."

Gu Shixin bit his lower lip tightly and frowned, "Hiss - my legs are numb." It was not just numb, it also hurt.

Helian Hao bent down and picked up Gu Shixin horizontally, then strode into the bedroom.

"I was just hitting myself. How did you jump up when your legs were numb?" Helian Hao continued to talk as he walked. "Is your heart the only one that hurts? Are you the only one with a heart?"

"Isn't it?" Gu Shixin didn't want to let Helian Hao go. He knew that he was a vindictive person when it came to love. He knelt there because he didn't want to let the person in front of him have an easy time.

"Yes, you are the one with a heart, and you are the only one who treats me well. I am made of iron inside, and I am heartless!" Helian Hao was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He actually asked him if that was not the case.

"Your Majesty is wise." G immediately followed up.

H tightened his grip, and G immediately frowned, "Hiss...be gentle, my legs are numb!"

"Shengming is bullshit, you asked for this!" Helian Hao gritted his teeth. "When I said I was heartless, you called me Shengming. How could you not be mad at me?" "Even if you want to kill me, I can't let you get too comfortable!"

Helian Hao put Gu Shixin on the couch and took off his outer trousers without saying anything. His two bruised and swollen knees pierced his eyes so clearly.

Helian Hao's hands were shaking with anger. He stood up and looked down at Gu Shixin, gritting his teeth and saying coldly, "I chased you all the way here, begged you to come back, and I did so much, said so much, and you don't remember a single thing. But you insist on remembering a casual word and doing it for me to see? Don't you?!"

Gu Shixin refused to be outdone and went to meet the emperor. "Your Majesty, every word is an imperial decree. Shouldn't I remember it in my heart and not disobey?"

You are not allowed to disobey my words - these were the exact words Helian Hao said when he punished Gu Shixin to kneel in early spring. Wu Qing still remembered this incident from the original book.

"You... okay, okay!" Helian Hao was speechless after being confronted. He sneered and turned to leave. He wanted to find a place to calm down, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly understood -

The person in front of me is vindictive, especially when it comes to me.

He understood that Gu Shixin was either punishing him by making him kneel, or taking revenge on him for his past.

He would use his own body to take revenge, just like in his dream. He would never let him go even if he died, and he asked his people to tell him: It is not easy to build an empire, Your Majesty, I beg you to protect it well.

Gu Shixin is so cruel, so petty, and vindictive! He won't let him go even if he dies?!

He can definitely do it and block his own path to death!!

Thinking of this, Helian Hao felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest. "In this world, only you have the ability to leave me with no way to die! I will also block your way to death!"

Helian Hao suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Shixin fiercely, then stepped forward and said, "Okay, very good. You can't disobey me, right? Then remember this: from now on, you will live in this Desheng Hall. You can't eat too little, you can't get sick, and you can't commit suicide!

You must take good care of yourself and wait for my pleasure every day. If you dare to disobey me in the slightest, I will slaughter your entire family!"

Gu Shixin was so angry that his breathing became stagnant. He fought back furiously, "How dare you!"
