Chapter 77
"Master, His Highness really dotes on you. Look, he sent someone to deliver something. I heard that the luminous pearls from the Persians are very precious …"
Gu Bai had just woken up when he heard a young man's voice speaking beside his ear.
He opened his eyes and found himself lying on a long bed. There were a few people who looked like eunuchs and palace maids standing beside him.
This was a very luxurious room. The furnishings around it were also very luxurious. It seemed that his mission world this time should be in the ancient era.
"All of you, leave. I want to sleep for a while …"
Gu Bai calmly dismissed everyone and then closed his eyes to receive the plot.
This time, it was a story about a reborn male protagonist.
The protagonist of the story was called Xue Yunfeng. He was the crown prince of the Qi Kingdom.
Although he was the crown prince, his mother did not have any influence. He was only made the crown prince because of the Qi Kingdom's Emperor's favor. Therefore, his position as crown prince was not stable. There were many people who coveted his position.
However, because he had been doted on by the Emperor since he was young and had grown up as a favored son, Xue Yunfeng was not very shrewd and was very playful. If not for his mother's strict suppression, he would not have wanted to be the crown prince at all. He only wanted to live a carefree and happy life.
Therefore, on the surface, he pretended to be obedient in front of the Emperor and his mother. However, behind his back, he committed all kinds of outrages. He also loved beauties. As long as he liked someone, regardless of gender, he would get his hands on them.
Fortunately, the Qi Kingdom's customs were open and men were popular. The men he liked were not too out of line. The imperial concubine scolded him and saw that he had completed the task given by the Emperor very well, so she did not care about him.
The original owner, Rong Yi, was Xue Yunfeng's favorite boy toy.
The original owner was not from the Qi Kingdom. He was the young prince of the Bei Zhao Kingdom.
Although the Bei Zhao Kingdom was called a kingdom, it was actually a tribe that existed like the Miaojiang. They were neighbors of the Qi Kingdom and were located at the border. The tribe's environment was harsh.
In the beginning, they had no choice. The people of the Bei Zhao Kingdom relied on their strong bodies and their strange ability to use poison to occasionally rob the Qi Kingdom's citizens and food.
However, after tasting the benefits, some people of the Bei Zhao Kingdom began to take advantage of the situation. They went from robbing food at the beginning to killing and robbing at the border of the Qi Kingdom.
This provocation naturally angered the Emperor of Da Qi. No matter how powerful the Gu poison of the Northern Zhao people was, they were only a small tribal country. Thus, they were quickly defeated by the Da Qi army.
In order to prevent the country from being destroyed, the Northern Zhao Emperor could only fearfully offer beauties and treasures to the State of Qi to seek peace.
As for the original owner, because he was beautiful like a peach and plum, although he was a man, he had an appearance that was more beautiful than a woman. He was also a prince of Bei Zhao and had a noble status.
Therefore, in order to show his sincerity, Emperor Bei Zhao reluctantly offered his son to the Qi Kingdom upon hearing that the Qi Kingdom was popular with men.
With such a beautiful appearance, the Crown Prince Xue Yunfeng, who loved beauties, took a fancy to the original owner of the body on the first day she arrived in the Kingdom of Qi. Then, he asked the Emperor of Qi to take her into his Eastern Palace.
In the beginning, Xue Yunfeng might have only been infatuated with the original owner's appearance, but it didn't take long for him to truly fall in love with the original owner.
Not only did he hug the beauty every day, he even gave the original owner rare treasures to please him. In order to make the beauty smile, he did all kinds of ridiculous things that were against the rules.
He didn't hesitate to anger the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine to dismiss the other concubines and beauties in the Eastern Palace, leaving only the original owner, a man who couldn't bear children, to love like a treasure.
These actions were really not loving the country but loving the beauty.
However, these were all things of the past. At this moment, Xue Yunfeng hated that he couldn't eat the original owner's flesh and drink his blood. He hated him to the bone!
Because he was made the Crown Prince at birth and was doted on by the Emperor, Xue Yunfeng didn't have the same pressure and urgency as the other princes.
In addition, his mother didn't have the power of his mother's family. Therefore, when the Emperor passed away, his position as the Crown Prince began to waver. Very quickly, Xue Yunfeng, whose thoughts weren't on the throne, died tragically in the battle for the throne after the Emperor passed away.
However, although Xue Yunfeng died at that time, his soul didn't go to the underworld to be reincarnated. Instead, it strangely turned into an invisible ghost.
Therefore, Xue Yunfeng naturally witnessed the bloody battle for the throne that continued after that.
Moreover, he also saw the original owner that he doted on the most quickly throw herself into the arms of the victor after his death to enjoy the glory and wealth. She didn't have the slightest bit of reluctance towards him, fully explaining what it meant to be heartless.
This made Xue Yunfeng somewhat unable to accept it. He doted on the original owner so much and did so many absurd things to make the original owner happy. He almost gave up everything.
In the end, when he died, the original owner threw herself into the arms of others without even a single tear. She didn't have the slightest bit of love for him. All of his deep feelings were wasted!
Therefore, his strong resentment and unwillingness made him reborn.
After his rebirth, Xue Yunfeng began to turn over a new leaf. He was no longer like his previous life who only knew how to enjoy life. He turned the tables on the cannon fodder and killed all of his enemies.
Because he was reborn at a bad time, he had already done many absurd things for the original owner when he was reborn. This angered the Emperor and caused his position as the Crown Prince to waver.
Therefore, Xue Yunfeng had no choice but to use the strategy of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. On the surface, he continued to dote on the original owner and used absurd things to confuse the other princes who wanted to seize the throne. Secretly, he planned to take revenge and ascend the throne.
When everything went smoothly, the Qi Emperor passed away. He quickly defeated all of the princes who were plotting against him and ascended the throne.
After successfully turning the tables on the cannon fodder and killing all of his enemies, the original owner, as a heartless scum who betrayed the male lead, naturally didn't have a good ending.
How much Xue Yunfeng loved him in the past was how much he hated him now. He personally cut open his artery and released the unique medicinal blood of the Miaojiang Imperial Family to save his reborn lover … …
In this rebirth story, the original owner, as a heartless supporting male lead, received his merciless retribution and died miserably.
When the original owner died, Xue Yunfeng didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache because such a heartless person wasn't worth his heart moving in the slightest.
However, he would never know that after he died in his previous life, this heartless male pet had done many things for him.
When he died, the original owner did indeed quickly throw himself into the arms of the victor. However, what Xue Yunfeng didn't know was that the original owner did this to avenge him.
Although the Bei Zhao Kingdom was a small kingdom, as a prince of a kingdom, the original owner of this body had once been of noble status. Being treated as a 'beauty' and forced to come to the Qi Kingdom alone, the original owner of this body was actually extremely humiliated and terrified.
However, he didn't expect that this terrifying 'tribute' route would actually lead him to meet Xue Yunfeng. The other party's care and love made him, who came from a foreign country, feel extremely touched.
When Xue Yunfeng fell in love with the original owner, the original owner also fell in love with him. Even though both of them were men, Xue Yunfeng's deep love for only one person made the original owner's heart gradually soften and fall in love with him.
Therefore, after Xue Yunfeng's tragic death, the original owner's heart was completely disheartened and only had revenge left.
As a tribute from a foreign country, he had no means of revenge. The only weapon he could use was himself.
He used his appearance and the Miaojiang Gu poison to control and confuse the new emperor. He ignored the court officials and killed the loyal courtiers. In a short three years, he destroyed the new emperor who killed Xue Yunfeng and destroyed the century-old foundation of the Qi Kingdom.
He was like Da Ji in history, becoming the 'demon man' that everyone cursed and cursed. However, he didn't care at all.
He hated the new emperor for killing the person he loved. He hated the Qi Kingdom's throne that caused the person he loved to lose her life. He wanted to avenge his beloved crown prince!
When he was publicly beheaded by the rebel army in the name of 'slaying the demon man' in front of the Meridian Gate, he didn't feel sad at all. He only felt happy that he was about to meet the person he loved in the netherworld.
However, who knew that what awaited him wasn't meeting the person he loved in the netherworld, but a devil who was reborn with a heart full of hatred.
He also didn't expect Xue Yunfeng to be so cruel as to personally kill him and drain his blood bit by bit. He died in despair and pain.
Before he died, Xue Yunfeng's heartless attitude towards him and his gentle and doting attitude towards his other true love deeply pierced his heart.
All of his love turned into hatred. He didn't have the chance to be reborn, but he found a mysterious master to make an exchange.
He wanted Xue Yunfeng to regret. He wanted to use his own immortality to exchange for Xue Yunfeng's eternal regret!
After accepting the plot, Gu Bai rubbed his temples and couldn't help but sigh.
It really was a melodramatic and heart-wrenching love-hate story. This couple had fully explained what it meant to love you until you killed you.
Compared to the last time where he had to blindly guess and fumble around without a plot, although there was a plot this time and his goal was very clear, it wasn't so easy to complete it.
After being reborn, Xue Yunfeng's personality had changed greatly. He hated the original Gu Bai's guts. Furthermore, he already had someone else he liked. How could he still care about the love of a heartless scum like him and regret it?
However, it was still the same. Since he had accepted the mission, he would definitely do his best!
… …
After organizing his thoughts, Gu Bai called someone in to help him dress up.
Tonight, Xue Yunfeng would bring the original Gu Bai out of the palace to attend a banquet. As Xue Yunfeng's' favourite 'male pet, he naturally had to dress up and attend.
No matter if it was the previous life or this life, Xue Yunfeng would always bring the original Gu Bai to any banquet. In the previous life, it was to bring the original Gu Bai to play. He doted on him, loved him, and held him in the palm of his hand.
In this life, he was only used as a shield. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing, a chess piece to confuse the other princes.
Moreover, because Xue Yunfeng hated him after being reborn, he still hadn't touched the original Gu Bai. This saved Gu Bai the trouble of dealing with him.
"Master, you're so beautiful!
You're the most beautiful person Slave Ya has ever seen. No wonder His Highness dotes on you so much … … "
After changing his clothes, the original Gu Bai's personal eunuch, Slave Ya, praised him with eyes full of admiration. The other eunuchs and palace maids in the room also looked at the beautiful man in front of them with stunned eyes.
Gu Bai also looked at the tall bronze mirror in front of him. It had to be said that the original Gu Bai was also a beauty this time.
This body had been pampered since childhood, so his skin was very good. It was as white as mutton fat jade without any blemishes. His facial features were also very handsome. With a pair of peach blossom eyes, he really was a demoness that could cause the downfall of a country.
But since ancient times, the saying that beauties were ill-fated was true. Beautiful women were ill-fated, and beautiful men were even more ill-fated. He had taken on so many missions, but the original Gu Bai didn't have a good ending.
Gu Bai shook his head and didn't say anything. The eunuch next to him was very talkative, so he continued to laugh.
"Master, you're so beautiful, and His Highness dotes on you. In the future, when His Highness inherits the throne, he will definitely give you the title of male empress just like our founding emperor!"
The Kingdom of Qi was very popular because the founding Emperor had conferred a male Empress as his male Empress.
"Is that so?
But didn't His Highness bring back a beauty from outside a few days ago?
I heard that he is a talented and beautiful young master. I don't even know how to compose poems, and His Highness has never touched me before … … "
Gu Bai's face seemed a little worried. He had to put on a show. Since he was doing a mission for the original Gu Bai, in front of outsiders, he had to be the original Gu Bai and not Gu Bai.
Although the original Gu Bai was a prince, the Bei Zhao Kingdom was very special. It lived in a barren land. It was fine to have the people of the Bei Zhao Kingdom pick poisonous plants and play with poisonous insects, but there were very few people who could compose poems and songs.
The original Gu Bai didn't like to study since he was young. He only liked to learn about Gu poison from the elders in the tribe. His personality was simple and extreme. Therefore, after Xue Yunfeng died, he used his life to take revenge and hated the whole world.
The eunuch saw his worried expression and quickly comforted him.
"Master, don't think like that. His Highness loves you. His Highness brought Young Master Qi back to the palace because his brother and His Highness are good friends. Young Master Qi is staying in the Eastern Palace temporarily. Master, you should know that His Highness dismissed all the concubines in the Eastern Palace for you!
The citizens of the Imperial City are all talking about and envying you … "
When he finished speaking, the eunuch's face was full of pride. Everyone knew how much His Highness liked their master. If it wasn't for the fact that His Highness already had a bloodline, he would have lost his position as Crown Prince long ago. It could be seen how much His Highness loved their master.
Seeing the eunuch's expression and the approving gazes of the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids, Gu Bai smiled and didn't refute. Love was love, but it was a matter of the previous life.
Without further delay, Gu Bai changed his clothes and went to see Xue Yunfeng, preparing to leave the palace together.
When Xue Yunfeng saw him, there was a trace of surprise in her eyes. Although Gu Bai was still wearing the original Gu Bai's skin, the soul inside was different. There were still some differences.
The original Gu Bai was as dazzling as the sun in the past, but now that his soul had changed, there was a different temperament in those shimmering peach blossom eyes. The brocade dress was exquisite and dazzling, and the aura was dazzling.
But the surprise was only temporary. When you hate someone, you don't like anything. So the surprise in his eyes quickly turned into disdain and disgust.
Having done so many missions in a row, Gu Bai's senses had been trained to be very sensitive. Almost instantly, he felt Xue Yunfeng's disgust.
But he didn't care. The reborn Xue Yunfeng was already disgusted with the original Gu Bai. She believed that the original Gu Bai was heartless and detestable. No matter how he tried to gain her affection, it wouldn't be very effective.
Rather than spend the effort to please Xue Yunfeng, it was better to find another way out. Let Xue Yunfeng hate him first. He had plenty of ways to turn the tide.
If you want to rise, you must first suppress it. If you want to destroy it, you must first let it inflate. The more Xue Yunfeng hated him now, the more he would regret it later!
