I can't afford it, it's super fierce!

Then the little eunuch who went in lit up the wax nimbly, and the light in the room brightened.Only then did Gu Jinzhi see clearly the panting emperor sitting on the bed, his complexion was pale, cold sweat was rolling down, he was covering his chest with one hand, as if he was having difficulty breathing.Gu Jinzhi walked over to him and patted him skillfully, and then took the warm water from Eunuch Tang for the emperor to drink.

The emperor drank it slowly and waited for a while.

"Is the emperor having a nightmare?" Gu Jinzhi handed the bowl to Eunuch Tang.The emperor's vision seemed to be a little blurred, his pupils were cloudy, and he no longer had the clear brilliance of the past.He stared at Gu Jinzhi for a long time before he could vaguely see his face.I don't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or hang my heart again.

"It's you. It's been a while since you came." The emperor's body was heavy and his hair was dizzy.Gu Jinzhi took a jade pillow and put it on his back, so that the emperor could speak more comfortably while lying on his back.

"It's just a coincidence that my brother came here every day. Every time I come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Brother Huang falls asleep." Gu Jinzhi said with a warm smile: "It's the same here this time, and I wanted to leave just now. Unexpectedly, Brother Huang came out of a nightmare. Wake up, didn’t you say that the imperial physician’s prescription for treating nightmares is very effective?”

The emperor smiled wryly: "Heart disease, how can ordinary herbs work?"

"What is it that worries the emperor?" Gu Jinzhi asked: "Are you worried about Princess Mingxia? My minister heard that Princess Mingxia's health is getting better, and the plague in Hongdu has been effectively controlled. Brother, don't think too much , I have worked too hard, and everything is going in a good direction."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing and said: "You, you are so optimistic and happy when you pee, it seems that nothing can make you worry."

Gu Jinzhi just smiled and didn't answer.

The emperor looked at the bright yellow curtain on the bed, and said quietly, "I... didn't dream of Mingxia."

Gu Jinzhi looked at him, and said lightly: "Is that dreaming about Concubine Xiang's sister-in-law?"

"Not at all." The emperor's gaze shifted and fell on Gu Jinzhi's face. In just a split second, the emperor hurriedly avoided, "Zhen, I dreamed of you."

"Oh?" Gu Jinzhi was a little surprised: "Your brother is so blessed to be in the dream of the emperor's brother?"

The emperor was different from chatting with Gu Jinzhi in the past. He didn't answer for a long time, but just stared blankly in one direction thoughtfully. The sadness in his eyes made Gu Jinzhi's heart tremble slightly, and he couldn't help but get serious.

The emperor said softly: "A month ago, you got poisoned again, didn't you?"

"Brother Huang is still ill, do you still miss my younger brother?"

The emperor showed a pale smile: "Fortunately, you are out of danger."

"Thanks to Jiang Li." Mentioning this person, even the simplest two words, Gu Jinzhi's heart is extremely warm: "He has been guarding me, and he is tired again. My brother is safe and sound all night, but he can recover It's been a while."

"You protect him, and he guards you. It's precious for you to lean on each other. It's just... If I'm not mistaken, the interval between your two poisonings is only four months."

Gu Jinzhi said with a relieved smile: "One day counts as a day, with little Li'er by my side, my brother has nothing to ask for."

The emperor's heart was moved. He looked at Gu Jinzhi, as if he remembered something sad, his eyes were slightly red, and his breath was blocked in his chest, causing him to cough violently.Gu Jinzhi quickly poured water for him again, the emperor was already weak and frail, and coughing like this exhausted all his remaining strength.He lay weakly on the jade pillow, struggling to breathe, his face flushed red due to difficulty breathing, and quickly faded to pale.

"Jinzhi, do you regret it?"

Gu Jinzhi's hand holding the emperor's arm froze, and looked at him in surprise: "What did the emperor say?"

"If you didn't give up voluntarily back then, but fought with me, maybe this country and society would be yours."

Gu Jinzhi was startled, his pupils like ink condensed slightly: "Brother Huang, what did you say? I have no morals, incompetence, and no ambitions. I am not as courageous, knowledgeable, diligent and shrewd as Brother Huang. This great Yu Jiangshan should be entrusted to Brother Huang." In my hands, my father also expected the same."

"However, now that I am seriously ill and bedridden, I am afraid that time is running out. Now that the plague in Hongdu has killed tens of thousands of people, and the northwestern border is raging with war, my father may be disappointed."

"Brother Huang, don't talk nonsense." Gu Jinzhi hurriedly said: "Brother Huang is the Son of Heaven, the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, with great blessings equal to the heavens, and he should be blessed with infinite longevity."

Hearing this, the emperor just smiled weakly and wryly.The bright yellow window screens and bed curtains reflected the orange-red candlelight, making the emperor's face paler.With a sharp nose, the lord of the world's eyes turned red again: "Jin Zhi, it's the emperor who is sorry for you."

Gu Jinzhi said in a low voice: "Brother Huang is good enough to my younger brother."

"No, you don't know." The emperor turned his head to the inner side of the bed, as if he didn't want to face Gu Jinzhi. He closed his eyes, and two dry tears rolled down his temples: "I am the emperor, and I have the supreme status. But I am also afraid, I dare not tell my mother, I dare not tell anyone, especially you."

Gu Jinzhi held his breath and listened quietly.

The emperor turned his head, tears poured down like rain, wetting the bright yellow dragon robe on his chest: "I saw it when Concubine Zhao poisoned you."

Gu Jinzhi trembled all over, but his tone was unusually calm: "Brother Huang...what did you say?"

"On the third day after you were born, I went to see you in my mother's harem. When I passed by the small kitchen, I witnessed Zhao Guifei poisoning your tonic."

It was like a bolt of lightning struck Gu Jinzhi's head, draining all the blood from his body. He didn't know if it was pain or numbness. He was stunned for half a cup of tea before he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Huang, did you see it?"
