On the other side, Gu Bai ran into Xue Yunfeng, who had been called over by Slave Ya. Xue Yunfeng looked anxious, but when he saw Gu Bai's sorry state, his face turned cold.
Due to his keen observation, Gu Bai clearly saw the change in Xue Yunfeng's expression. He lowered his head to look at his own appearance and suddenly understood.
This body was not suitable for drinking. He had drunk two cups of strong wine in the private room, and his face was extremely red. When he got close to Xue Han, his clothes were also abnormally messy, and his belt was a bit loose.
Coupled with his drunken movements, Xue Yunfeng obviously thought the wrong way …
When Xue Yunfeng saw his appearance, he couldn't help but feel angry. He was sure that Gu Bai was trying to seduce Xue Han.
After all, in his previous life, he had mercilessly thrown himself into the arms of the victors and enjoyed wealth. After his rebirth, the current situation in the imperial court was very unfavorable to him.
The emperor had already thought of dethroning the crown prince because he loved beauties more than the country. On the surface, the imperial court had no power to support him. Once a fight for the throne broke out, he would definitely be defeated. It was normal for the heartless male pet to give up on him and start looking for new protection.
Xue Yunfeng sneered inwardly. A slut will always be a slut. His heartless nature is hard to change!
Although he sneered in his heart, he would not completely show his disgust for the original owner before he succeeded. Thus, the coldness disappeared in a flash and returned to a worried expression.
"Rong Yi, how are you?
Are you okay? Slave Ya said that you were called over by the imperial uncle … "
Slave Ya still had some brains. He did not dare to say that Gu Bai insisted on looking for Rong Yi himself. He only told Xue Yunfeng that he was' forced 'to go over by Prince Yu.
Gu Bai shook his head at Slave Ya, who was also worried. He then looked at Xue Yunfeng and said gently, "Your Highness, I'm fine. His Highness did not do anything to me. Don't worry …"
Don't worry?
How could he not worry!
Xue Yu glanced at the marks on Gu Bai's neck that Xue Han had made and sneered again. However, he still nodded and took him by the shoulders with care.
As someone who had lived in a few worlds, how could Gu Bai not see his disgust? He smiled and did not explain, waiting for his imagination to run wild. Hate, hate, continue to hate, I will make you regret it in the future …
Back at the palace, Xue Yunfeng patiently accompanied Gu Bai for a meal before excusing herself.
After his rebirth, because of the strong resentment and anger, touching the original owner made him feel very disgusted, so every time he sat in the original owner's palace for a while, he would leave.
After he left, Slave Ya brought the tea over and cried out worriedly.
"Wuwu, Master, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive Slave Ya. Prince Yu must have bullied you earlier. Wuwu, I've long heard that Prince Yu is unruly and terrifying. Master, why did you go up yourself? Now you've suffered. Wuwu … Slave Ya shouldn't have listened to you and let you go …"
The more he spoke, the harder Slave Ya cried. The original owner treated him well, so he was naturally loyal to the original owner. Now that Master was very likely, no, definitely bullied, of course he was worried.
Hearing Slave Ya's words, Gu Bai finally reacted. He touched the marks on his neck and thought to himself. Only then did he order people to prepare hot water for a bath. He then patted the crying Slave Ya and comforted him with a few words.
However, the more he comforted him, the harder the little eunuch cried.
"Wuwuwu … Master, don't lie to Slave Ya. Prince Yu looks like a beast with a human face. He must have bullied you. No, I must tell His Highness about this and let His Highness stand up for you. Even if he is a prince, he can't bully Master …"
As he spoke, he went to find Xue Yunfeng, but Gu Bai quickly stopped him.
This little eunuch was loyal, but his brain was too simple. It was not easy for the palace to produce such a simple eunuch, but he managed to catch up.
Not to mention that nothing happened now, even if something really happened, Xue Yunfeng would not stand up for the original owner. The other party wanted him to go to hell right now!
"Slave Ya, I'm really fine …" Gu Bai was really afraid that he would go find Xue Yunfeng, so he explained again.
"Master, you're lying, wuwu …"
The little eunuch was still crying.
Gu Bai found it funny. It seemed that he could not explain it clearly, so he simply did not explain. This loyal little eunuch was simple and cute …
On the other side, Xue Yunfeng returned to his room and smashed the things on the floor in anger.
Even though he knew that he only had hatred left for Rong Yi after his rebirth, he could not help but be angry every time he saw that the other party could easily throw him to the back of her mind and get close to other men.
He was angry that he was blind in his previous life. This person acted so obviously, but he did not see the other party's true colors. The deep feelings he gave were nothing in the other party's eyes!
As long as he thought of the scene of Rong Yi laughing and throwing herself into someone else's arms after his death, he was unable to restrain his anger and resentment rolled in his chest.
This person, no matter if it was in his previous life or in this life, could abandon him so heartlessly.
"Go to Prince Yu's residence to deliver a letter of greeting. This Prince wants to see Imperial Uncle tomorrow …"
After venting his anger, Xue Yunfeng tidied his clothes and ordered someone to deliver the letter of greeting. The anger on his face disappeared and turned into a ruthless coldness.
Rong Yi, since you're so heartless, then don't blame this Prince for being heartless!
*****
The next day, Xue Yunfeng left early in the morning. Gu Bai did not ask about his whereabouts and stayed in his room to cultivate.
The timing of the mission was very bad. He did not have much time to prepare and needed to have some ability to protect himself before Xue Yunfeng made trouble. Furthermore, he had to help Xue Han prepare the antidote, which required him to circulate his energy and refine it.
This mission was not too difficult, but it was not to be underestimated. Gu Bai stopped looking down on him and started to treat it seriously.
Slave Ya did not know what he was thinking. Seeing that his complexion was not good, he only thought that he was depressed because Xue Han bullied him. From time to time, his eyes would turn red and he would cry about his master's hard life. Wuwu …
Prince Yu's residence.
Although the imperial court looked peaceful, it was actually turbulent. As Prince Yu, who held military power in Da Qi, Xue Han was definitely the greatest support for the future heir to the throne before he died.
Thus, countless people had requested to see Xue Han, but he refused to see anyone. However, today was an exception. Xue Yunfeng had only sent a letter of greeting to test the waters, but he did not expect Xue Han to send a reply that night, asking him to go to the prince's residence in the morning.
After putting down the gift, Xue Yunfeng waited for about two hours in the main hall of the prince's residence before Xue Han finally arrived.
He did not tie his crown and his clothes were not tidied up. He was wearing a robe that revealed his inner clothes. His actions were casual and unrestrained to the extreme.
"Yunfeng greets Imperial Uncle …"
Despite being ignored for two hours, the other party still came out to meet people in such a manner. However, Xue Yunfeng did not dare to show any disrespect.
This was because this Imperial Uncle of his had the ability to do so. Even though everyone knew that he did not have long to live, he still had the final say in Da Qi.
"No need for pleasantries. Tell me, why are you looking for me today?" Xue Han yawned and asked directly.
Xue Yunfeng knew his Imperial Uncle's personality well. He glanced at the guards beside him and saw that Xue Han had no intention of dismissing them. After hesitating for a while, he cupped his hands and spoke.
"Imperial Uncle, Yunfeng is here today to ask for your help …"
"You also want the throne?" Xue Han raised his brows and stared at him with a sharp gaze.
Xue Yunfeng nodded and did not deny it.
"Imperial Uncle, even though Yunfeng has already been made the Crown Prince, you know that Father has many sons. There are bound to be a few among them who do not know their place. Thus, I hope that Imperial Uncle can help Yunfeng …"
"There are many people who ask for my help. Why should I help you?"
Xue Han tapped his finger on the table arrogantly.
Xue Yunfeng had already expected Xue Han's attitude and was not angry. He took a deep breath and walked forward respectfully.
"Imperial Uncle, please help Yunfeng. I know that Imperial Uncle's health is not good. Coincidentally, I have someone who can definitely cure Imperial Uncle's illness. If Imperial Uncle is willing to help Yunfeng, Yunfeng is willing to respect Imperial Uncle in the future …"
Even if he had to listen to Xue Han and be a puppet Emperor in the future, it was still better than being defeated in the battle for the throne. Furthermore, as long as he sat on the throne, he would have a chance to take back the throne in the future.
Furthermore, there was no antidote for the poison in Xue Han's body. At most, he would only be able to extend his life by a few years. Xue Han did not have long to live, so there was no need to be afraid that he would not be able to take back the throne.
Seeing that Xue Han was still unmoved, Xue Yunfeng continued.
"Imperial Uncle might not know, but the person who can cure Imperial Uncle's illness is Rong Yi. If Imperial Uncle is willing, I will send her to your residence tomorrow to take your pulse …"
It was obvious what he was implying.
"Oh?" Xue Han's arrogant expression changed. He looked up at Xue Yunfeng with a probing gaze.
"Isn't Rong Yi the beauty you dote on the most?
The last time I asked you for it, you were unwilling to give it to me. Why are you willing to give it to me now … "
The last time was naturally when he had not been reborn and was stupid. Xue Yunfeng secretly hated it, then straightened his back and smiled faintly.
"Those who achieve great things do not care about trifles. Rong Yi is the Prince of Bei Zhao. I heard that the Bei Zhao Imperial Family has been nourishing their bodies with Gu since young. There are miraculous medicinal effects in their blood. I think they can definitely cure Imperial Uncle. What do you think?"
He was just a heartless boy toy. What was the harm in giving him away now?
As long as Xue Han was willing to help him sit on the throne, this deal was too worth it. Even if Imperial Uncle lived a few years longer than in his previous life, he would be able to teach this arrogant Imperial Uncle a lesson when he gained power in the future!
Xue Yunfeng was still too inexperienced. Although his emotions were hidden, Xue Han could still sense his ruthlessness.
However, Xue Han was more concerned that he was willing to use Rong Yi as an exchange. After all, everyone knew how much Xue Yunfeng doted on Rong Yi. If it was just an act, he would not have needed to offend the Emperor by dismissing the concubines in the Eastern Palace for Rong Yi.
Furthermore, that beautiful boy toy had just talked to him about the throne yesterday. Now, Xue Yunfeng was talking about it. What were these two up to?
Xue Han felt a little interested.
He stared at Xue Yunfeng for a while. He did not mention the matter that Gu Bai had talked to him about yesterday. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said.
"Since that is the case, send her over and help me take a good look. I do want to live for a few more years …"
"Thank you, Imperial Uncle."
Xue Yunfeng's face lit up. This was a disguised agreement.
Even if Little Imperial Uncle did not agree, he still had a way to ascend the throne. However, it was still easier to get the support of this short-lived Imperial Uncle.
