Chapter 78

On the surface, the banquet that Xue Yunfeng went to today was just a normal gathering for officials and nobles to drink and have fun. However, in reality, he was using this banquet to cover up his secret meeting with the officials and generals of the imperial court.

Therefore, when he arrived at the tea garden, Xue Yunfeng found an excuse to leave and left Gu Bai alone in the hall. He did not care about the people around him who were staring at this delicious piece of meat and drooling.

Xue Yunfeng's heart was naturally as clear as glass when he saw those peeping gazes. How could he not know what these people were thinking? If it was in the past, he would definitely be unhappy and would hide Du Yunxi away so that he could only see her by himself.

But now, he did not care at all. As long as Rong Yi did not die before he completed his great plan, he had nothing to do with this person!

"Master, what's wrong with His Highness today? Why did he leave you here alone? Look at those people who can't wait to pounce on you and eat you up …"

Slave Ya was an outspoken person. He would say whatever came to his mind, and he complained a lot.

"It's okay. His Highness's matter is more important. Moreover, those people don't dare to touch me …"

Gu Bai did not care. He smiled faintly and leisurely sipped his tea. There was a reason for Xue Yunfeng's sudden attitude.

Others might not know, but as someone who had been reborn, Xue Yunfeng knew very well that although the current Qi Emperor looked healthy, his body was actually very weak. In a few months, he would die.

When that time came, he would ascend the throne with lightning speed. In this way, the original owner was almost useless. He naturally did not need to worry about him anymore.

Slave Ya was still a little unhappy. Gu Bai did not say anything more. He took a piece of dessert and ate it while watching the poetry and painting competitions in the tea house. In fact, he was secretly sizing up a man in a private room on the second floor.

He had noticed this man when he entered the room just now.

He saw that the man was dressed very luxuriously and looked very handsome. He had a pair of slender sword-like eyebrows that slanted to his temples. His long and narrow eyes shone brightly. When he looked at people, there was a sense of coldness and nobility.

Moreover, he was very arrogant. Others were sitting in their seats with proper manners drinking tea and chatting, but he was sitting leisurely. He even put one of his feet on the table without any rules.

He held a wine pot in one hand and a wine cup in the other. His actions were wild and unrestrained as he raised his head to drink. When he drank happily, he seemed to have thought of something and laughed out loud. It was so noisy that the people around him couldn't chat peacefully.

However, no one dared to say anything to him, nor did they show any dissatisfaction or disdain towards him. Everyone who looked at him was very respectful and fearful. It was obvious that this person had a noble status!

Gu Bai naturally had his reasons for looking at this person.

According to the plot, this person was called Xue Han, the current Prince Yu of Da Qi. He was the youngest son of the previous Emperor and was only two years older than Xue Yunfeng.

According to the rules of succession in the Kingdom of Qi, if the current Emperor passed away, other than Xue Yunfeng and the other princes who could inherit the throne, he was also qualified to inherit the throne.

Furthermore, Xue Han was not only intelligent and had the potential to become an Emperor, but he also held the military power of the Qi Kingdom. It would be very easy for him to ascend to the throne.

However, it was a pity that Xue Han was poisoned when he was young. There was no cure for the poison and it could only be suppressed. The imperial physician said that he wouldn't live past 30 years old. Otherwise, the throne would have been his.

Even so, Xue Han was still the target of all the princes because he held great military power. To put it bluntly, whoever he wanted to be the Emperor could be the Emperor!

However, Xue Han's background wasn't the focus of Gu Bai's attention. Instead, it was on Xue Han. He could feel the aura of a man. This meant that the short-lived Prince Yu was his man …

Thinking of this, Gu Bai excitedly ordered Slave Ya to go to the private room and ask for an audience with Prince Yu. Every time he met a man on a mission, he couldn't wait to see him.

"What, Master wants to see Prince Yu?

No, no, you can't do that! "

Slave Ya's expression changed when he heard Gu Bai's words. He shook his head in panic, then moved closer to Gu Bai and whispered in his ear.

"Master, you haven't been in Da Qi for long, so you don't know. I heard that Prince Yu is very fond of beauties, especially men. He won't even let His Majesty's male pets go. There are many beautiful men in the backyard of the prince's residence. That's fine, but the most important thing is that Prince Yu is very cruel. No matter how beautiful the beauties are, he doesn't pity them at all. If he gets angry, he will kill them all … And last time, he even asked His Highness for you.

Slave Ya looked very worried. He was lucky enough to serve the original owner of this body when he just entered the palace.

Gu Bai explained patiently. He had never been baptized by the palace eunuchs and was very loyal to the original owner of this body. The original owner also treated him kindly like a younger brother.

"Slave Ya, I know you're worried about me, but Prince Yu is beneficial to His Highness's ascension to the throne. If Prince Yu is willing to help, His Highness's future plans will be unhindered. Besides, I'm confident that I can meet him …"

How could he not know his man's temperament? No matter how he changed, he was still domineering!

Arrogant!

Unruly!

These were things that would never change.

But this time, this man was very fond of beauties?

And there were many beautiful men in the backyard of the prince's residence?

Before leaving Starry Sky, he even specifically told him that no matter if he had memories or not, he would only have feelings for him. Good, after not seeing him for a few minutes, he became bold!

Thinking of this, Gu Bai's face showed a trace of humph.

"But …"

Slave Ya was still worried, but seeing that his face didn't look good, he could only listen.

He thought that he had to hurry and find His Highness. Otherwise, what would he do if something happened to his master?

Prince Yu was very scary!

Slave Ya left worriedly. After a few minutes, he came back with a worried face to report that Prince Yu had invited him. Gu Bai nodded, tidied his clothes, and walked over happily.

When he entered, Gu Bai saw Slave Ya leave quietly. He guessed that he was worried that he would go to Xue Yunfeng for help. After thinking twice, he didn't stop him and bowed to Xue Han.

"Rong Yi greets Prince Yu …"

The original owner not only had a handsome appearance, even his voice was very gentle. It was as refreshing as a breeze blowing through the grasslands, causing Xue Han's ears to tremble a few times.

"I heard that you wanted to see this king?

What, you're not afraid of this king today? "

Xue Han held a wine cup and looked at Gu Bai with a fake smile as he spoke.

He naturally had his reasons for saying this. After that, the original owner had met him once. She was very afraid of him because of his reputation of being dissolute and ruthless outside. Whenever she saw him, she would run away like a little rabbit.

"Rong Yi didn't know the rules before and offended Your Highness. I ask for Your Highness' forgiveness …"

Gu Bai cupped his hands. His expression was calm, neither servile nor overbearing. He had a cold attitude, but his heart was already jumping with joy.

Although he was just humphing that the man was so dissolute this time, heavens knew how much he wanted to rush up and hug the man's head to give him a deep kiss!

But he still knew how to control his emotions. This was the beginning of a new world. Men didn't have any memories, so they had to get to know each other again every time.

And this time, 'Prince Yu' was a dissolute and unruly person. He wouldn't cherish a beauty that was sent to his door. If he wanted to take down this man, he might have to put in a lot of effort this time.

"… …"

On the other side, Xue Han didn't make a sound as he listened to his words. He only looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. In just a short meeting, he found that the Gu Bai today was different from the original owner he saw before.

The youth in front of him was still as handsome as before, but the strange thing was that he felt that the youth today was like a different person. What was different … … Eyes, eyes, today's youth's eyes seemed to be more beautiful!

"Your Highness, Rong Yi came today to make a deal with Your Highness … …"

Gu Bai didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't speak, he could only take the initiative to strike up a conversation and continue.

"Oh?

What kind of deal do you want to make with this king?

In this world, there aren't many things that this king wants that he can't get … … "

Xue Han put down the wine jug and raised his eyebrows in interest. This person really didn't know his temper, or was he too daring to make a deal with him?

Gu Bai looked calm and composed, but in reality, his eyes were secretly looking at him. The moment he raised his eyebrows, Gu Bai's heart violently jumped like a volcanic eruption.

Under his cold appearance, Gu Bai's soul roared excitedly: Ah ah ah ah, too sexy, too sexy. Her man's eyebrows are so sexy and mighty!

He really wanted to pounce on him, what should he do?!

Of course, he couldn't do it. If he really did it, he might be kicked out by this man. He definitely couldn't let this man know of his infatuated appearance.

Gu Bai covered his mouth with a clenched fist and coughed before speaking.

"In this world, perhaps there really is one thing that your highness can't obtain and can't control. That is your highness's own life … …"

When he finished speaking, the private room quieted down. Several guards looked over and stared at Gu Bai as if they were looking at a dead person.

Even the Emperor had to be respectful to their highness. This was just a small boy toy of the Crown Prince, yet he dared to speak to their highness like this. This was simply the god of longevity hanging himself, he was tired of living!

The guards tightly gripped the hilts of their swords, their eyes cold. They were waiting for their master to give the order to chop the beauty in front of them into pieces.

But Xue Han didn't have any plans to chop Gu Bai into pieces. He stared at Gu Bai, his eyes finally landing on his red lips as he spoke with interest.

"What do you mean?"

"Your highness is Prince Yu and holds the military power of Da Qi. You can be said to be second only to one person and above everyone else. There are very few things in this world that you can't obtain. However … … Rong Lian heard that your highness was poisoned when you were young. All the famous doctors in the world were helpless, and the imperial doctors even said that your highness won't live past thirty. If Rong Yi remembers correctly, your highness is already twenty-eight this year … …"

In other words, this man had at most two years to live. In the plot, the feared Prince Yu did indeed die of illness two years later. This was also the reason why no one feared him even though he held absolute power.

"How dare you!"

Just as Gu Bai finished speaking, the guard beside him coldly reprimanded him. The entire Da Qi Dynasty knew that Xue Han's poison was a taboo topic. Gu Bai speaking of it so openly was a form of provocation.

However, Xue Han waved his hand and indicated for the guard to leave.

Then, like a leopard on the hunt, he stared at Gu Bai with dark eyes. He expressionlessly walked in front of Gu Bai and reached out to stroke the youth's slender neck. His actions were dangerous and ambiguous. "Continue … …"

His sensitive neck was suddenly touched by the man. Gu Bai couldn't help but lean forward a few times. However, at the same time, a sense of joy rose in his heart. Teasing as soon as they met, it seemed that this man had a lot of feelings for him. En, as expected of his Old Top!

As he thought this, Gu Bai's expression became even colder.

"According to the imperial doctors, your highness has at most two years to live. However, Rong Yi has a way to cure your poison. When the time comes, will your highness agree to Rong Yi's request?"

Following his words, Xue Han's hand that was stroking his neck turned to pinching his chin. His malicious gaze stared straight at him with a hidden smile.

"You say you can cure a poison that all the famous doctors in the world can't?

If you can't cure it, how do you think this prince should punish you? "

"If you can't cure it, Rong Yi will use death as an apology!"

Gu Bai was very confident. What a joke. After doing so many missions, he was the best at playing with poison. Xue Han's poison was incurable to other people, but it wasn't a big problem for him. Moreover, the original host was a prince of Miaojiang who had great medical skills.

Xue Han pinched his chin and his malicious eyes flashed like lightning. It seemed like he would kill him at any moment, but when he saw the confidence on his face and those bright eyes, his heart trembled slightly.

After a long time, he let go of Gu Bai's chin. His lips curled into a cold arc and the coldness in his eyes disappeared. He put his hands into his sleeves and clenched his fists. He didn't know why his fingers that had touched Gu Bai's chin felt hot.

"Alright, this king will give you a chance. Tell me, what do you want to ask this king for?"

He rubbed the thumb ring on his left hand as he spoke with a calm expression.

But those who knew him knew that this action meant that he was in a very good mood. The youth's confident appearance was very dazzling and made people's hearts heat up.

As someone who knew him very well, Gu Bai didn't need to know the meaning of this action. Just from the way he suppressed his emotions, he knew what he was feeling.

His lips curled up proudly and he snorted in his heart again. Daring to be so daring in lust before he came. There were many beautiful men in the prince's palace. This time, he had to clean them up properly!

Gu Bai looked around and cupped his hands.

"Your Highness, may I have a word with you …"

"Alright."

When he finished speaking, Xue Han raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down. His gaze landed on the white neck that was exposed when he lowered his head. His eyes darkened and he licked his lips.
