Chapter 83
Chapter 83
After Xue Han returned to his residence, the black aura around him did not dissipate at all. Instead, it became even stronger.
Originally, he did not care about the throne and felt that it was very troublesome. But today, Gu Bai had defended Xue Yunfeng and truly angered him.
After returning to his residence, he threw a huge tantrum. He could not think of a way out and immediately summoned his advisors to discuss the matter of the throne. What did that brat Lao San have that was worthy of the beauty's love? If he wants the throne, hmph, he still has to see if this prince agrees!
"Your Highness, don't worry. We will take action immediately …"
When the advisors and confidants heard his orders, they were all pleasantly surprised. There was no one who did not want the merit of taking the throne. However, in the past, Wang Ye did not care about power. Adding on the fact that he had a hidden illness, everyone felt regret. Now that Wang Ye was going to fight for the throne, it was great news.
After everyone responded excitedly, they quickly left to arrange the operation.
After everyone left, the chief steward of the Prince's Mansion came in from outside.
"Your Highness, His Second Highness just sent a beauty over. This servant has already arranged for her to enter the residence. Your Highness should go and take a look now …"
Xue Yunfeng's actions of sending Gu Bai to Prince Yu's residence were not a secret. Other than wanting to obtain Xue Han's support, such an open action was naturally to borrow Prince Yu's name to temporarily suppress those who wanted to make a move against him.
Recently, Xue Han's attitude of speaking up for Xue Yunfeng in court caused the other princes who wanted to fight for the throne to become fearful and worried. They could not help but follow suit and search for beauties to send to the prince's residence.
If it was in the past, even if Xue Han would not touch them, he would not embarrass everyone and accept them. But at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Gu Bai said and his anger surged.
"Who told you to accept them!
Go back!
And those people in the rear courtyard, send them all away, send them away!
Spread the word that if anyone dares to send people to this prince in the future, this prince will chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs! "
Xue Han was annoyed. If he knew that using these people to cover up his hidden illness would cause the beauties to misunderstand him, he would have just announced to the world that 'Prince Yu is impotent'.
Now, in the beauties' hearts, he was actually inferior to that brat Lao San!
"Yes, Your Highness …"
The head steward of the Wang Mansion didn't know why he was throwing a tantrum. Seeing that his face wasn't good, he didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly retreated to do his job.
When Gu Bai woke up the next morning, he heard the news of 'Prince Yu's caution'. The speed at which this news spread was not any slower than in modern times.
There was no other way. Prince Yu was currently the focus of attention of all the princes. His reputation as a 'romantic' was exceptionally resounding. At this moment, Prince Yu actually wanted to abstain from lust. This was even more unbelievable than the sun rising from the west!
After being secretly happy for a while, Xue Yunfeng, who rarely stepped into his bedroom after her rebirth, came to find him after the morning court.
According to Xue Yunfeng's hatred for the previous owner, he naturally wouldn't come looking for him for no reason.
Because he had been angered by Gu Bai yesterday, Xue Han's gaze had been fixed on him ever since the morning assembly. He found him to be an eyesore and uncomfortable. Thus, the unruly prince began to pick on him and target him in all sorts of ways.
Now that the Emperor was about to pass away, the winds in the court were turning towards Xue Han. Even though Xue Yunfeng was reborn, he couldn't help but be wary of Xue Han's existence.
Everything was clearly fine before, why did things suddenly change? Xue Yunfeng pondered for a while and immediately analyzed the key person, Gu Bai.
Faced with the unfathomable Xue Yunfeng, Gu Bai had already thought of an excuse.
Under Ya Nu's' my master finally understood 'gaze, he fearfully threw himself onto Xue Yunfeng and lowered his head, choking with sobs.
"Your Highness, I … I'm sorry. It's all Rong Yi's fault. Yesterday, Prince Yu, he wanted Rong Yi … Rong Yi didn't comply and impulsively went against his wishes. She must have angered Prince Yu. Your Highness, I'm sorry. Rong Yi ruined your plans …"
"You mean that Imperial Uncle didn't even touch you before?!"
Xue Yunfeng grasped the main point. He couldn't believe it. If Imperial Uncle didn't touch Rong Yi, why would he help him before?
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this …" Gu Bai suddenly asked in confusion.
Xue Yunfeng also regained his senses and realized that his reaction was wrong. He shook his head and then reached out to press Gu Bai's head against his chest to cover his eyes and hide his expression. He comforted him.
"No, I'm just confused by anger. Imperial Uncle knew that you belong to me and yet he still had designs on you. You don't have to go to the residence tomorrow. I won't let anyone hurt you …"
He was thinking in bewilderment and half-heartedly comforting him.
Gu Bai didn't expose him and nodded as if he didn't feel anything. "Yes, Rong Yi will only belong to Your Highness in this life. If anyone else wants to touch Rong Yi, I'd rather commit suicide …"
"What did you say?"
Xue Yunfeng, who was still in bewilderment, subconsciously asked when he heard this. He looked at Gu Bai.
"Rong Yi will only belong to Your Highness."
Gu Bai repeated himself again. He looked at Xue Yunfeng with deep affection in his eyes. He reached out to grab Xue Yunfeng's hand and put it on his chest.
"Rong Yi's heart will only belong to Your Highness. If Your Highness doesn't abandon me, Rong Yi won't leave you. If Your Highness leaves me, Rong Yi will … In short, Rong Yi will only belong to Your Highness."
Gu Bai didn't finish his words. His gaze was mournful. It was obvious that he didn't accept the result.
That burning gaze made Xue Yunfeng suddenly feel guilty. For a moment, he didn't dare to meet Gu Bai's gaze. He nodded randomly and didn't continue this topic. He then left.
Even in his previous life, when he was close to Rong Yi, the other party had never said these words. But now, she suddenly said it. Coupled with the news that 'Rong Yi hasn't been touched by Prince Yu', his mind was in a mess.
How could it be? How could Rong Yi be such a sentimental person? She was clearly a heartless person …
Xue Yunfeng left the Glazed Tile Palace in a mess. He walked in a daze all the way to the guest courtyard of the Eastern Palace. He saw Qi Moli painting in the courtyard. The young man's temperament like a bamboo orchid calmed his turbulent heart.
He walked over and picked him up without thinking. Amidst the surprised cries of the palace maids and eunuchs, he carried him into the room. He tore off the offending clothes on his body and climbed on top of him.
"Your Highness, you …"
Qi Moli grabbed Xue Yunfeng's hand and stopped him in both joy and panic.
He had liked the Crown Prince for a long time, but the Crown Prince had never seen him. In his eyes, there was only the peerlessly beautiful Rong Yi. He had even done so many ridiculous things for her.
He had thought that he would never have a chance. But now, the Crown Prince … What did this mean?
"Your Highness, I am Moli, not Rong Yi …"
Qi Moli nervously reminded him.
"I know, I know you're Mo Li, not Rong Yi. I want you now. The person I like is you. I'm only using Rong Yi as a shield. I've never liked him. I'm only using him …"
Xue Yunfeng muttered as he kissed the neck of the person above him. He didn't know if he was explaining to the person in front of him or comforting and brainwashing himself.
Seeing that the person below him was pleasantly surprised and had given up resisting, Xue Yunfeng became hot-headed and began to move without hesitation. The room was filled with gasps and moans …
… …
After that day, Xue Yunfeng never saw Gu Bai again. Even if Gu Bai took the initiative to look for him, he would find excuses to refuse. Other than staying at Qi Moli's residence at night, he was busy with political affairs during the day.
Since Xue Han didn't support him, he could only think of other ways. Moreover, Xue Han seemed to have the intention of seizing the throne. Not only Xue Yunfeng, but all the other forces became nervous. As the Emperor's body grew weaker day by day, the Daqi Imperial Court also became turbulent.
Gu Bai knew that Xue Yunfeng was deliberately avoiding him. He went to look for him and didn't see him for two days. He stayed in the Glazed Tile Palace all day, either reading calligraphy or cultivating during the day.
At night, he had to deal with the vinegar jar that snuck in.
In the beginning, Xue Han would take advantage of Xue Yunfeng while saying bad things about him in an attempt to brainwash him. However, after a few days, it didn't work at all, so he had no choice but to give up.
He simply stopped talking about Xue Yunfeng and focused on the pleasure of taking advantage of him. No matter how Gu Bai tried to chase him away, he couldn't. When he was angry, he would threaten him fiercely.
"This Prince said that I won't give up!
If you chase this Prince away again, this Prince will do you immediately!
And that brat, Old Third, with one word from this Prince, forget about the throne, he might not even be able to see the sun tomorrow! "
Who knew how much he wanted to say it!
However, he still had to pretend to be weak on the surface. He bit his lip and pretended to be pitiful and endure, then obediently let the other party take advantage of him.
The person he loved was so close to him, and he was even hugging him in his arms. Xue Han's heart was like a capricious monkey.
There were countless times when he wanted to press the youth under him and pinch his waist. He wanted to fulfill the words he had said before and make the other party cry because of him. He wanted the other party to be so happy that he couldn't control himself.
However, in the end, he broke through his limits again and again and held himself back. He couldn't bear it. He couldn't bear to see this person sad. He couldn't bear to force this person at all. He couldn't bear to …
"This Prince will definitely obtain your heart!"
After enduring until the end, Xue Han would always say this sentence. Then, he would hug the person beside him tightly. In his mind, he would picture the youth's blushing cheeks and misty tears to comfort his unsatisfied heart. Finally, he would sleep until dawn and leave.
Although he wasn't satisfied, Gu Bai's heart was filled with happiness. He slept very comfortably every night.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. The battle for the throne became more and more intense.
Xue Yunfeng wasn't too stupid. In his previous life, he just didn't put his thoughts on the right path. In addition, he had the advantage of being a prophet after his rebirth. The princes were no match for him at all.
The only one who was difficult to deal with was Xue Han. However, no matter how difficult it was, he still wanted to give it a try. After his rebirth, he wouldn't be as useless as he was in his previous life!
Not only did he work hard in the imperial court, he also began to think of ways to win the hearts of the people. As the saying goes, those who follow the hearts of the people will win the world. It could be seen how important the support of the people was.
Although people who had been reborn had the advantage of being reborn, it didn't mean that the road ahead would be smooth sailing. With such hard work and the deliberate schemes of his enemies, Xue Yunfeng soon fell into a trap. He was accidentally poisoned and his life was at stake. He fell into a coma …
