Eventful season, more incidents.

The weather was cold, and the emperor's health became worse and worse.

In the daytime, he said he was sick and could not go to court, and King Yuanning was too busy.

For several days in a row, he went out early and returned late in the Chaolu Palace, and left before waking up in the daytime. When he came back wearing the stars and wearing the moon, he had already fallen asleep in the daytime.

Seeing it, Bu Ge vaguely felt that the relationship between the two of them was not as inextricable as before. He wanted to ask but dared not ask. In the past, the prince was so precious to His Majesty, why suddenly...it seemed like a different person in one day?

But in fact, it was because he had used the medicine given by the prince during the day, and he was tired. He had a cold and solemn face all day long. He didn't face King Yuanning, and he didn't bother to make any unnecessary expressions.

Every day I want to wait for him to come back, but after dinner, I feel so tired and sleepy again, I always fall asleep early.

On this day, he finally had enough energy to wait for him. After washing up, he ordered Ruan Meng not to wait on him or go to bed. He lit the candle and sat by the window to read a book.

But the weather was too cold, and the attendants were afraid that the emperor would freeze, so they lit the fire in the house extremely vigorously, making people feel sleepy and warm.

During the day, he put down his book and opened the window to let in the air-conditioning. He wanted to cough, and he closed it again in a hurry.

After watching Haishi, King Yuanning didn't come back.

After tossing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for a long time, the handwriting on the book finally became blurred in front of my eyes. I squeezed the gap between my eyebrows, couldn't help but rest my eyes at my desk, and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long I slept, and I was gently hugged by someone in a trance, and I opened my eyes in the middle of the day, and it was naturally the person he was waiting for in front of me.

Struggling to get down during the day, looking at him by the candlelight, I feel that his face is also exhausted, the trivial matters in the court made him physically and mentally exhausted, plus the pretentiousness of the previous days, the prince must have endured a lot of rumors recently.

No matter how he doesn't take it seriously and doesn't care about it, but he speaks too much, he is still a human being, and it is impossible for him to be absolutely calm.

Bai Zhou looked at him distressedly, and said softly: "In the end, you still have to face things you don't like..."

King Yuanning tilted his head to look at Bai Tian for a while, scratched his nose with a smile, frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" Then he picked him up and put him on the bed without waiting for Bai Tian to speak again, "You deliberately When I come back, won't you want to tell me these things?"

Bai Zhou was stunned for a moment, and said: "You go out early and return late day and night, and you never see anyone..."

King Yuanning embraced Bairi's neck, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and said with a soft smile, "Let me sum it up, it means, do you miss me?"

The prince had washed and washed before entering the palace, and the light scent of incense on his body gave off a gentle and familiar breath from the warmth of his body. He suddenly leaned over and chuckled softly in Bai Tian's ear, and Bai Tian's heart suddenly became confused—— —

I was obviously waiting for him, and I had already blended into each other, so how could my thoughts be like a feather falling into still water, dizzying circles of ripples.

The frost in the winter night is endless, and the unique bamboo tent is wrapped around the fingers softly. The beauty always comes quietly, and it is scattered like sand in the palm.

----------

Yao's country was troubled and troubled, and he had no mercy for Dayao's sick and weak emperor.

In Lushui City, because Bai Yuan wantonly spread addictive drugs, although the government tried its best to suppress the situation and seized the drugs at the first time, the people who were already addicted almost went crazy.

Besieging the government office, the behavior is crazy.

Moreover, because of the excessive distribution of drugs, many government servants also became addicted, and the scene got out of control for a while.

The government had no choice but to second the army from Jiangdu to suppress the situation. There was an uproar and frequent bloodshed.

Since then, the people who are addicted to drugs have become more and more unable to control themselves, they have gone crazy, their relatives have denied them, and there are many relatives who have been injured and died because of this.

In the past, Lushui City, which was rich due to water transportation, became like a purgatory in a few months.

Afterwards, some people made a big fuss about this matter, saying that the emperor is difficult to correct his position for the sake of the emperor, and the punishment of heaven comes.

The public opinion is difficult to calm down, and people in the event of the death of their relatives began to be unable to bear the verbal criticism of the Tian family by the provocateurs, and assembled and used sad people to fight against the imperial court.

Bai Zhou finally understood why Bai Yuan didn't attack him very urgently.

I am waiting for the time.

He is also biding his time.

On this day, the Great Court was over, the prince came to Chaolu Hall, and walked in with a sullen face. Just as Bu Ge was about to salute, he was bluffed by King Yuanning's "Go down".

The little eunuch was taken aback for a moment, and raised his eyes to see a person behind the prince, who was Bai Yuan.

During the day, he waved to Bugo, and Bugo bowed and retreated.

He was faintly worried about the emperor, the prince is noble, and he was always gentle and polite when speaking to him in the past, but now...

If you beat a dog to see its owner, what you say is not rough.

"The emperor's uncle is here, what's your business?" Bai Tian was leaning on the couch, looking weak.

Bai Yuan stood still in front of him, and said with a smile, "Is the big show in Lushui City good to watch?"

During the day, he looked at him without speaking.

Bai Yuan didn't care, and continued: "Uncle has something to ask now, and I also ask the emperor to make a decree to announce the cause and effect of the year to the world, and to return my innocence."

Your Majesty, first cast a cold glance at King Yuanning, then turned to Bai Yuan and asked, "Return your Qingbai? What if I don't want to?"

As he spoke, he coughed again.

Bai Yuan was not in a hurry, he waited for him to cough with a good temper, and only when he was out of breath, he said with a smile: "If you don't allow it, I will let you see with your own eyes how Dayao turned into a purgatory on earth." His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was even more proud, "You are the emperor, what's the use of imperial power in your hands? You can kill me immediately, but I want all your people to be buried with you."

Bai Zhou knew that this was shocking, that addictive drugs could be circulated in the market, so it didn't necessarily appear in any form, it could be water in a well, rice in a bowl...it was impossible to guard against.

This time, Bai Tian really didn't dare to challenge him head-to-head.

He said: "Then how can I be sure that you can keep your word?"

"You have no choice."

As he said that, Bai Yuan turned to King Yuanning, gave him a meaningful look, and stopped saying anything, as if he believed that because of all the people in the world, Bai Tian did not dare to confront him head-on, and he didn't care what the adopted son of King Yuanning wanted in his heart. To take revenge on Bai Jing more, or to show more love and pity for him.

Get up and leave.

It wasn't until Bai Yuan had gone far that Bai Tian sat down on the chair behind him. Since he was wearing a book, he had never felt so anxious like this moment.

"What about after that, he wants me to pass on the throne to you?" Bai Zhou asked.

King Yuanning shook his head and slowly closed his eyes: "What he wants is your pain, he just wants revenge."

Ever since he entered the book during the day, he has never felt so anxious. His style of dealing with things has always been surly, and he rarely gets entangled. As long as people don't twist, they won't suffer.

In short, Bai Tian is a person who would not go to the chastity archway if he was a bitch.

But at this moment, even if he is willing to do evil, it will not help.

Bai Yuan only wanted him to be miserable, so Bai Tian would do whatever... nothing was right.

If two evils are equal to each other, how can we talk about whichever is the lesser?

Sure enough, even during the stalemate between the two, Bai Yuan didn't stop. In the evening, an urgent report was sent to the palace - Lingxiao Town, and there were countless addicts overnight.

Bai Zhou once thought that if Bai Yuan still wanted to return to Dayao's community, he would not poison the people.

Today, he knew that he was wrong.

The clues that King Yuanning found out through the medicine hall were scattered and vague, and the person who worked for Bai Yuan was very shrewd.

"How about..." Bai Zhou said, "You go to Lu Shui yourself..."

"no!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the prince.

Bai Yuan's actions can no longer be judged by ordinary people's logic, so the prince is of course worried.

Bai Tian didn't speak, but walked up to King Yuanning and held his hand.His hands were a little cold, and they were warmed up by being stuffed into the lapel of the cloak during the day.

The warmth made the tense strings in the prince's mind a little loose.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Tian pressed his lips against the prince's lips soundlessly, and stretched out his arms to wrap around his waist.

King Yuanning was stunned for a moment, the softness and waxiness on his lips made him intoxicated, but the faint taste of bitter medicine in the other party's mouth hurt his heart again - if the matter is not resolved as soon as possible, he will have to endure this torture during the day When is the medicine due?

Thinking of this, he wanted to take out his hand that was warm in the white cloak and say something to him. Unexpectedly, Bai Tian seemed to have known that he would do this, and pushed his hands on the prince's elbow.

Instead of being able to withdraw his hand, King Yuanning was forced to reach into the depths of the white cloak.

His hands were instantly covered with the body temperature of the day, and they became even warmer.

The prince simply pulled him into his arms and hugged him in front of his chest. Feeling the contraction of each other's chest breathing, he wrapped his arms around his back, clearly depicting the lines of the back muscles in the daytime, as well as the skinny but straight body. skeleton.

The tenderness that was finally tasted turned into possession, and they possessed each other like a storm, and tasted some different feelings-hard to part but had to part temporarily.

They don't have time.

The time of Bai Yuan's ultimatum was on the day of the Winter Solstice Palace Banquet.

Before that, he will not endanger Bai Tian's life, what he wants is not the emperor's life for the time being.

But in a limited time, let him suffer infinitely.

Yesterday was Lu Shui, today is Ling Xiao, and where will it be tomorrow...

As long as the source of the poison cannot be found out, and the antidote cannot be produced, this coercion will not stop for a day.

I feel bad during the day, and the benevolent prince who is a doctor is even more uncomfortable. Even if the people in the world are people in the book, how is it different from a living life in reality?

Drug addiction will destroy many families.

Bai Tian asked the prince to investigate in person, not because the prince has better tracking skills than others, but because he has a delicate relationship with Bai Yuan, and the difference between loyalty and betrayal.

The instability of the human heart, if you can make good use of it, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

----------

That night, the sobbing flute sounded from the Zhaixing Pavilion, like a letter from an old friend, which was slowly unfolded, read quietly, familiar with peace, and narrated what was on his mind.

Peaceful and firm, revealing a very light sadness.

This piece of music is "Waiting for the King's Return" that the emperor and the prince played on the day when they had a drink together.

The palace people who didn't know why, only thought that the emperor was suddenly elegant, and he rode a fast horse out of the capital without knowing the sound of the flute.

One person and one horse were hidden in the moonlight, until it was too far away to be seen, Bai Tian slowly walked down the Star Picking Pavilion, and said to Bu Ge who was by his side: "Follow me, let's go to the Imperial Study Room."

On the second day, the officials saw the emperor who had not been in the palace for a long time. His complexion was extremely pale, but his expression was solemn and majestic. The court hall was so quiet that the sound of sparks bursting in the charcoal basin could be heard.

"I... have sinned against the world, and I should plead guilty to all people."

As soon as the word came out, the officials were startled.

"Read." Bai Tian said calmly to Bugo beside him.

Bugo frowned and bowed, hesitating at the moment.Seeing that he was holding a roll of yellow silk in his hands, the officials could only wait in the hall no matter how much they guessed in their hearts.

During the daytime, he didn't urge Bugo, but sat back in the dragon chair, didn't move and didn't speak.

Bu Ge finally unfolded the silk and said: "Since I came to the throne, I have been headstrong and rebellious, moody, weak and sickly, and it is difficult to rectify the universe... As a result, disasters and diseases from heaven..."

After only listening to a few words, all the ministers understood that this is the emperor's sin against himself. Although there has been no earth-shaking chaos in the court recently, the civil disturbances have already made people panic. There are also courtiers who feel that if they can publicly admit that they are not the emperor, there is still salvation, and they are not considered a bastard.

"I lack energy and wisdom, so that the virtuous ministers can't go to bed..."

Bugo is still reading.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, half-closed his eyes, and coughed softly.

"King Yuanning, since entering the capital city, he has been skilled in art, strong and strong, with the talents of Yao, Drum and Shunmu, and the foresight of dethroning Zhi, and I... I... I am dying. The decline of the country, I am willing...willing..."

At this point, Bugo's voice became smaller and smaller, and he faintly choked up. Even sitting next to him during the day, he couldn't hear what he said clearly.

All the ministers saw the emperor glanced at him indifferently, sighed softly, stood up, and said calmly: "I am willing to confer on Yu Xian and abdicate the throne to King Yuanning."

After the words fell, the hall was silent for a moment, and then all the officials knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, think twice, absolutely not!"

This point, Bai Tian did not expect it, he only thought that there would be opposition, but he never thought that all the officials were uniform.

Seeing that the emperor was unmoved, Tai Wei Mo said in a loud voice: "Although your majesty is slanting his sword, he is indeed a virtuous monarch who eliminates sycophants and punishes corrupt parties. On the other hand, King Yuanning has recently taken advantage of his majesty's illness to control the government. If he hadn't flattered the government, Second Young Master Cen wouldn't have died, what's more, His Majesty's dragon body is only taken care of by him, if he intends to do harm, it will really be my emperor's danger, and the world of Dayao!"

Bai Tian raised his hand to signal him to get up, coughed uncontrollably, calmed down and said: "My body is the price of coveting the world's society when I was young and frivolous, and it is no different from others."

Before Mo Chong answered, Cen Lian, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, the branch of King Yuanning is a county king with a different surname, how can he be enthroned? Is Dayao going to change hands from now on!"

Bai Zhou chuckled twice, and said: "'People's hearts are only in danger, Dao's heart is only subtle, and there is only one essence, and you are allowed to stick to it. (※)' If my Bai family has virtues and talents, there is nothing wrong with hereditary throne, but now The Bai family is sparsely populated, and I follow the example of Yao and Shun, the great sages, and the Zen emperor, who is located in the capable, and the people are safe, so what does it matter who lives in the throne of the world?"

Having said that, he squeezed the space between his eyebrows, his body shook a little, and he sat back on the dragon chair.

The courtiers were speechless for a while, they didn't know how to deal with the sudden imitation of the ancient great sage who practiced the Wai Zen of the emperor's family, which has always valued heredity.

At this time, Bu Ge said softly at the side: "Your Majesty, the prince did not come to court today, nor did he return."

On the dragon chair, the emperor raised his eyes and glanced at the usual location of King Yuanning, thinking to himself, I don't know where he is now...

With a calm expression on his face, he said: "Last night I sent him back to the mansion to get something, maybe there was some delay, and you will bring the order to Yuanning Palace in a while."

But I also know that there is no one in the prince's house.

So Dayao's royal family made a big joke, and it was widely spread. The emperor wanted the Zen throne, but the master who was supposed to be happy and ready to ascend the throne disappeared like a human being.
