Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

Spring is cold and chilly, Huaqing Pool washes.

Xu Guanchen couldn't stand still for a while, and slid down the pool wall, choking on two or three mouthfuls of hot spring water.

He clung to the wall of the pool to stand firm, and wiped his face.

It's not cold anymore, so it should be fine for now.

Behind Funing Hall, there is a hot spring pool, which draws water from the mountain in the north.

He thought, he should be in the pool of Funing Palace.

The water vapor is dispersed, and the vision is not clear.

He climbed ashore, and casually pulled off his coat to wrap himself up.

There was no one else, Xu Guanchen brushed his hair and clothes, and wanted to leave lightly.

After walking out of the palace gate, he saw Xiao Zhi walking towards here not far away.Xu Guanchen had nowhere to retreat, so he ran back to the hot spring pool, quickly took off his clothes, and returned to the water, pretending that he was still awake.

Xiao Zhi pushed the door open and came in, bent over and brushed the wet hair on his forehead with his hands.Xu Guanchen's eyebrows were a little dark red, and the color became more and more intense.

Xiao Zhi fiddled with the water around him again, using the waves to touch him: "Don't sleep here."

Xu Guanchen moved his eyelashes slightly, slowly opened his eyes, supported the wall of the pool, and wanted to walk away from Xiao Zhi, but Xiao Zhi grabbed the back of his neck.

Finally, he gathered his clothes, followed behind Xiao Zhi, and returned to the main hall of Funing Hall.

The hall has been tidied up, the curtains have been changed, new incense has been smoked, and the clothes all over the floor have been cleaned up.There were new clothes hanging on the hem, because the royal family didn't wear white, and Xiao Zhi didn't like to wear white either, so the jade-white Taoist robe on top was very conspicuous.

He and Xiao Zhi sat opposite each other on both sides of the couch, with a pair of half-burned red candles between them, silent.

Xu Guanchen patted his head, he felt that he must have forgotten something important, otherwise how could things have become like this?

Assuming that he was uncomfortable and didn't like to talk, Xiao Zhi rubbed his head, got up and went out.

As soon as he went out, Xu Guanchen got up too.The hall has just been cleaned up, there is nothing to see, but there is a long case outside, and memorials and letters are scattered on the case.

A booklet was laid out on the desk, and Xu Guanchen only had time to see the date of inscription on it - unexpectedly the 25th of the twelfth lunar month in the third year of the next year.

It should be a recent date, but he has never seen this date.Since the founding of the country, this dynasty has not had such an era name. If it is not an old era name, it is a new one.

No wonder he called Xiao Zhi "Your Highness the Fifth" just now. Xiao Zhi meant that he shouldn't have called that.

It is time to call him "Your Majesty".

Even if the old emperor died and Xiao Zhi succeeded to the throne, it would be the third year of Jingming.

For three years, he had forgotten at least three years.

Xu Guanchen was not at ease, so after three years, he and Xiao Zhi will be so close?

Just looking at the date of inscription above, Xiao Zhi came back, followed by a little eunuch, carrying a medicine bowl and a box of candied fruit.

Being caught peeking at the scene, Xu Guanchen took two steps back and sat back on the couch calmly.

The little eunuch had a baby face, Xu Guanchen recognized him.On New Year's Eve that year, the old emperor entrusted His Highness Seventh to him. When he came out of the palace, he pretended to be His Highness Seventh and took him to the little eunuch in the side hall.It turned out that he belonged to Xiao Zhi.

The little eunuch put the medicine bowl and candied fruit in front of his eyes, and called softly: "Young master."

After thanking him, Xu Guanchen drank the medicine from the medicine bowl and secretly glanced at Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi stood still beside the long case where the notebooks were placed, just where Xu Guanchen stood just now, as if he wanted to see what he saw.Finally, he raised his hand and closed the folder.

After drinking the medicine, the little eunuch opened the candied fruit box and pushed it in front of him: "Young Master, His Majesty ordered it specially."

After he picked up a candied fruit and ate it, and served hot tea, the little eunuch put the medicine bowl and candied fruit on the wooden tray and bowed: "Young master, go to bed early."

Xu Guanchen responded, and then he realized that he went to bed——

Him and Xiao Zhi.

Still speechless for a while, after a stalemate for a while, Xu Guanchen got up and went to bed, picked up the clean clothes hanging on the clothes rails, and hid behind the screen.

Xu Guanchen took off his clothes halfway, and when he ran his hand across his back, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with his back.

a scar.

From the right shoulder to the left waist, there is a very long scar.

It's not a new injury, it's an old injury that doesn't hurt anymore.

At this time, he couldn't find the mirror either, Xu Guanchen turned his head to look very hard, but couldn't see anything, so he had to change into clean clothes first.

He fastened his belt, but still tied two knots, when he raised his eyes, Xiao Zhi was right in front of him.

Xiao Zhi stood on the other side of the screen, Xu Guanchen raised his foot, trying to bypass him and walk to the other side.

For some unknown reason, Xiao Zhi kept a sullen face and said nothing, obviously annoyed, seeing that he was about to leave, he pushed back and knocked down the screen that was in the way between the two of them.

Xiao Zhi strode forward and blocked him against the wall.

He has always had a bad temper, and Xu Guanchen couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he called out "Your Highness Fifth", and only then did he realize that this person was no longer His Highness Fifth.

Xu Guanchen tentatively called him again: "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Zhi stood in front of him, squeezing him between himself and the wall.

In the panic, Xu Guanchen dug out a name from a long time ago from a deep corner of his heart.

Xu Guanchen pushed him twice and called out, "Xiao, Xiao Yuzhi?"

Xiao Zhi's face darkened, he lowered his head, and leaned close to his neck, as if he wanted to bite him: "You want to die."
