The emperor is as beautiful as jade

In July, two full months have passed since that turbulent day.

In the early morning, the bright morning sun slowly rises from the horizon, with a trace of cool breeze, hanging quietly over the capital city in July.The sky is full of white clouds.

But slowly, the sun rose high into the sky, shining bright red on the earth, and soon added the heat of summer to the capital of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Two months ago, the turmoil led by Prime Minister Fu lasted for several months, but fortunately, it ended up accidentally hurting Daya, and was bravely resisted by the soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty two months ago.

And the number one hero who quelled the rebellion at that time—Prince Yu Xiao Lin, is now lying on the stone table on the terrace of his palace, uh, asleep.The dream is hazy, both real and illusory.Xiao Lin seemed to have experienced that nightmare again. He saw the man stabbed in the heart by a sword, his body was covered in blood, and he was unconscious...

As long as he thinks that that person once wandered outside the gate of hell, if it wasn't for the prescription that was sent quickly from the southwest, maybe he would really never see that person!Although two months have passed since the incident, Xiao Lin still feels deeply disturbed when he dreams about it.

Sleeping on the stone table, the shoulders twitched and shivered, Xiao Lin's brows were furrowed, and the hard and handsome face was dripping with sweat.

"My lord?" The little maid who came to report to Xiao Lin came over, and was startled when she saw her lord's extremely disturbed appearance, the little girl hurriedly called out: "My lord!"

"Uncle Emperor!!!" Xiao Lin swished, shouting Xiao Zhiyi's name soberly.He sat up straight, and then stared at the innocent little maid. "You were calling me the king just now?"

"Yes... yes." The little maid didn't understand why Xiao Lin was so excited, her handsome face was also full of fear, could it be that she was really having a nightmare?Didn't she really disturb the prince?

The little girl's face was flushed with fright, she quickly lowered her head, begging for mercy slightly tremblingly: "My lord, forgive me, this slave girl didn't mean to disturb the lord's lunch break."

"That's all." Xiao Lin frowned and shook his head, stood up slowly, and tried his best to get rid of the horrible scene in his dream just now. "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Lin felt the slightly damp sweat on his palms, and only after he wiped them did he realize that his palms were covered in hot sweat. His whole body was also covered in cold sweat from his nervous heartbeat.Looking up, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile wryly.

It turned out that the scene that happened during the palace rebellion two months ago, although time had passed, was still an unforgettable nightmare that lingered deeply in his heart.In the past two months, Xiao Lin heard again and again that the man's dragon body was damaged, and he almost failed to recover. There was not a day when he was not in an uncontrollable panic.

Sometimes he couldn't help thinking, what would he do if that person really went that way that time?

Perhaps, he will really follow?

Xiao Lin sighed heavily in his heart, feeling that he was a bit worthless.Thinking that the man has recovered completely now, and has started to go to court to handle political affairs, why is he still so worried?

In that person's heart, you are just a nephew who has made great contributions to saving people, so stop thinking about it!Xiao Lin warned his heart fiercely, a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

The little maid stood aside blankly, feeling that her handsome but taciturn prince was difficult to serve.Because he doesn't like to talk, as a bystander, you can't figure out what is going on in his heart.

The little maid had no choice but to say in a low voice: "My lord, this servant is here to inform the lord that General Gu Anyan is here to see you."

Gu Anyan?Xiao Lin muttered dissatisfied in his heart, Gu Anyan didn't know what happened?

He has only been away from the capital for four years. According to their past friendship, if he wants to come to his house, he will come directly, and what does the maid want to report!

Xiao Lin frowned, thought for a while and felt that Gu Anyan came at the right time, and he happened to ask him sometimes.Then he opened his mouth and ordered: "Understood, the king will be here soon, you go and lead him into the hall."

"Yes." The little maid turned around and returned.

Xiao Lin stood there quietly for a while, his brows were habitually frowned, and after thinking about it, he walked towards his room.After taking out one thing, the person walked to the hall ahead.

Gu Anyan was sitting on the guest seat drinking tea, and when he saw Xiao Lin's figure from a distance, he laughed and greeted him, "Long time no see, Prince Yu, are you here all right?"

"Brother Gu." Xiao Lin nodded to Gu Anyan as a greeting, and hurriedly greeted him politely: "Sit down quickly, I'm fine."

Xiao Lin stayed in the border for four years and suffered four years of wind and sand in the desert. Although he has become cold and cold now, his attitude towards Gu Anyan and Meng Xuan who took care of him since he was a child is still very serious. close.

"Brother Gu is very busy recently, and he doesn't come to my house like he used to." Xiao Lin looked around and asked strangely: "By the way, why don't you see Brother Meng walking with you?"

"He, I don't know why early in the morning, he was announced into the palace by the emperor." Gu Anyan looked at Xiao Lin with a pair of peach blossom eyes, with a bright smile on his lips, he picked up the fragrant tea and drank it down.

"Really." Hearing that person's title suddenly, Xiao Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said something subtly: "I heard that brother Meng was promoted to prime minister and took the place of thief Fu, and I forgot to congratulate him." Woolen cloth!"

"There's nothing to congratulate, but it's just more officials and more burdens." Gu Anyan lowered his head and spat lightly, as if he didn't really want to talk about this topic. "Besides, since you put down the rebellion, you have been hiding in your own palace and not going out. How can you have a chance to congratulate you, Brother Meng?"

"This..." Xiao Lin remained silent. He would not tell Gu Anyan that the reason why he didn't want to go out was not because he didn't like going out, but because he was... avoiding.That's right, to avoid!

Thinking that he and Xiao Zhiyi had been separated for four years, and when they met again, it would be a life-and-death farewell, Xiao Lin's restless heart was even more difficult to calm down.Coupled with Xiao Zhiyi's heart, Xiao Lin still can't figure it out at all.

On that chaotic and lively night many years ago, Xiao Lin heard Xiao Zhiyi obsessively call out the name of another man, especially this man was his own father... No matter what, Xiao Lin still had a shadow in his heart. .

But now that he's back, that's fine, he doesn't want to provoke any more affection, he just hopes to stay quietly in a place where he can see Xiao Zhiyi's well-being.Be well-behaved and live in peace with each other.

Xiao Lin really doesn't want to meet Xiao Zhiyi anymore, or he doesn't dare, because he doesn't know what mentality and status they can still meet and chat with now?

So as long as he could avoid meeting Xiao Zhiyi, Xiao Lin would try to avoid it as much as possible.It doesn't matter if you say he is cowardly or aggrieved, since he can't bear the fact that Xiao Zhiyi doesn't have him in his heart, then he shouldn't admit it at all.

Let him guard his own world alone, not to be seen or disturbed, or he can deceive himself, saying that the emperor uncle actually has a place for him in his heart.It's okay to say they are.

Let him continue to have a sweet dream of their mutual love in the bottom of his heart after years of obsession with no results.Xiao Lin thought of the sad place, and felt very sad in his heart.

"By the way, Prince Yu," Gu Anyan looked very relaxed, and suddenly approached Xiao Lin, and asked with a smile: "You have been away from the capital for four years, have you ever met a few people in the southwest border that made your heart beat?" woman?"

"What?" Xiao Lin thought he had heard wrong.

"What else is there? Brother Gu is concerned about your life-long affairs." Gu Anyan smiled with his mouth covered, his eyes flashed with a sly light, and he lowered his voice and asked treacherously: "Tell me quickly." , does the lord have a sweetheart in his heart now?"

"Brother Gu..." Xiao Lin shook his head, smiled helplessly and said, "Don't make fun of me, it's not like you don't know that I have always..."

Unable to continue, Xiao Lin fell silent with bitter eyes.

"It's not that big brother wants to make fun of you, but big brother Gu came here by order~" Gu Anyan seemed to have not heard what Xiao Lin said, blinking his big bright eyes, and looked as if he had bumped into him The sky is full of excitement.

"Order?" Xiao Lin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What order is Brother Gu?"

"It's the emperor who cares about you. Prince Yu, you have been away from the capital for four years, and now you are a mature and mighty prince. What can you do if you have no plans for lifelong events?" Gu Anyan continued to happily explain to Xiao Lin: "So, the emperor sent Brother Gu to tell you that the emperor happens to have a very favorite candidate for Princess Yu, and she has longed for you, the lord. I just don't know whether the lord wants it or not?"

"What the hell is the emperor doing again!" Xiao Lin's expression changed on the spot, and he smashed the blue and white porcelain cup in front of him with a wave of his big hand.

"Xiao Lin'er..." Gu Anyan stood up frightened, clutching his little heart tremblingly, and looked at Prince Yu Xiao Lin who was in a state of rage after breaking away from his cold appearance in an instant. "Why are you so angry, the emperor is your uncle, he also cares about you~~"

"Bastard! Who wants him to care about you like this!" Xiao Lin became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, his senses ran out, he stood up and was no longer polite, and said stiffly with a handsome face: "Brother Gu, please go back."

Aw, you were ordered to evict you?Gu Anyan's handsome face instantly turned green.

Pausing for a moment, Xiao Lin added solemnly: "Xiao Lin already has love in his heart, so no matter who is the favorite candidate for the princess, Xiao Lin will not take it! In this life, Prince Yu will not have any princess!"

Gu Anyan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled silently and gratifiedly, he was simply a fox who was terrified after his scheme succeeded.

"He really said that?" In the imperial garden, Xiao Zhiyi, who had recovered from his body, sat on a stone chair in the gazebo, put down the scroll in his hand, raised his head slightly, and gently asked the confidant who hurried back beside him.

"Yes." Gu Anyan nodded heavily, and replied with satisfaction: "Prince Yu said it himself, saying that he will never have any more princesses in this life!"

"Very good." Emperor Wen Rui seemed to be very happy, and said with a faint smile for a long time: "It's rare that my nephew is so unattractive, and he is also a powerful general who put down the rebellion this time. Tell me, do you want to reward him properly?" he?"

What Xiao Zhiyi asked this time was not Gu Anyan, but Meng Xuan who had discussed something with him in the Imperial Garden all afternoon.

"Your Majesty, this..." Meng Xuan frowned tightly, feeling extremely stressed.

"Enough." Emperor Wen Rui arranged the scrolls in his hand on the stone table very boldly, and said with pride: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to persuade me."

Meng Xuan burst into tears: "Yes..."

"You can go, just do what I just told you." Xiao Zhiyi glanced at Meng Xuan who was standing aside with a helpless face, and gave the last order very unhappy: "If you don't do things according to my orders, I will Immediately decree that my younger sister, Princess Chaoyi, will be married to General Gu."

Gu Anyan said, "Your Majesty, why is there still such excitement here?" Then he asked Meng Xuan worriedly in a low voice, "What does the Emperor want you to do?"

"..." Meng Xuan was silent, looked at Gu Anyan with tears in his eyes, and stopped talking.

Meng Xuan saw that his Majesty had put his first confidant on top of him, and it seemed that his mind had really been made up, so he turned around tragically, and aggrievedly went to report the first important court event he had handled since he became the prime minister.

"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want Meng Xuan to do?" Gu Anyan looked at the back of his adulterer Appointed, and became more and more curious in his heart. He hurriedly approached his master with a sweet smile, and asked pitifully.

"Nothing." Emperor Wen Rui dismissed his confidants with just two words.Lowering his head, he carefully read the scroll in his palm with clear and peaceful eyes.There is a strong antique flavor on the scroll.

Suddenly, Emperor Wen Rui's eyes darkened, and he saw an old poem and old line hidden in the palm of his hand——

Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin.

But for the sake of the king, I have been pondering it so far.

"But for your sake, why have you pondered so far?" Emperor Wen Rui murmured in a low voice. He didn't know what he thought of for a long time, turned his head, looked at the lush green trees and leaves in the garden, and smiled softly and gently.
