Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Their relationship had eased somewhat. Xie He came quite frequently, but every time he came, Xu Bai would always give him a cup of tea. Xie He would still ask someone to bring him some tonic medicine. For a month, they got along quite peacefully.

Xie He didn't seem to be abnormal, and Xu Bai almost thought that Brother Su was lying to him.

"His Majesty……"

Xu Bai's hands no longer shook as he served the tea; he had gotten used to this daily routine.

Xie He stared at the teacup that Gu Nian handed over. The fingers holding it were slender, with round and light pink fingertips, a very beautiful pair of hands.

"Nian Nian's fingers are so beautiful."

Xie He's eyes were sticky and made people feel uncomfortable. Xu Bai pursed his lips and mustered up the courage to persuade him, "Your Majesty, you have been sitting for a long time. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat... I, I made it myself."

Only someone like Gu Nian could poison someone under the real-name system.

"Okay." Xie He took it. He moved very slowly, as if waiting for Xu Bai to stop him. "Is this tea made with snow water?"

"No... no..." Xu Bai said, "It's the dew on the lotus."

"Did Nian Nian pick them herself?"

"……Yes."

Xie He stared into Xu Bai's eyes and said with an ambiguous smile, "Niannian is thoughtful." Then he reached out to take the tea from Xu Bai's hand.

The pressure from the superior made Gu Nian bite her lips involuntarily, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The tea was clear. Xie He took a sip slowly and asked Xu Bai to sit next to him. "This tea is good. It's hard for you to put so much effort into it... cough!"

“Cough, cough, cough!” The man frowned and grabbed his chest as if in great pain, causing wrinkles on his bright yellow robe with dragon patterns. “Cough! Nian Nian, you…you…”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xu Bai's face turned pale as he watched the teacup he had brought over fall to the ground and shatter into pieces, with the tea splashing everywhere. Xie He's hand had already covered his lips, and as his chest vibrated due to the choking, Xu Bai clearly saw blood seeping out from between Xie He's fingers.

He was the emperor after all.

Charged with the crime of regicide, Gu Nian's body was shaking, his lips quivering and he couldn't utter a word. He stood there motionless, not even wondering why there was no guards rushing in to arrest him despite such a big commotion in the hall.

【The play is good.】

Xu Bai took the time to comment on it. Liu Er was watching the fun and was very unhappy about being interrupted. [Go back quickly! I want to be immersed!]

"What's in the tea?"

"I! I..." Xu Bai was at a loss, his fingertips trembling violently, and he came forward to support Xie He's body, "It's not me..."

Xie He was still vomiting blood. He grabbed the boy's arm and asked with a heavy breath, "Did Su Shi ask you to do this? Do you... do you know that this is a capital crime... Is it him..."

"It has nothing to do with Brother Su!"

Xu Bai's body was shaking violently, his heart beating like a drum, "It's me... I want to kill you, I want to avenge the Gu family, I... I myself..."

"Near."

The bloody palm touched Xu Bai's face, causing him to tremble even more violently. His smooth and soft face was in panic, and he just kept muttering, "...I will kill you myself..."

"Think about it carefully." Xie He bewitched, "When we were young, we had a deep friendship. Ahem... the kite we made together is still, still there..."

That was many years ago. Xie He was not favored back then, and the only one who was willing to play with him was the little dumpling Gu Nian. So Xie He looked forward to his handsome brother coming to the palace every day.

Kite...

Xu Bai blinked, and his fingers clenched tightly around Xie He's arm. He remembered that when the two of them were hiding in the side hall making kites, the bamboo skeleton was extremely resilient. If he failed to grab one, the sharp bamboo piece would bounce back.

"what!"

It was Xie He who stood in front of him, with a deep cut on the back of his hand.

The butterfly kite was flying very high, swaying as Xu Bai was pulling the string. They both looked up. They were so innocent at that time.

“Nian Nian…” Xie He stroked his cheek, “Don’t be afraid, tell Brother Xie, who asked you to poison?”

"..."

who is it?

Gu Nian's not-so-bright brain was led astray, and he almost told the truth, but...but the person in front of him was not only the "Brother Xie" of his youth, but also his enemy.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” His fingers were cold and trembling, and the boy stepped back repeatedly, avoiding Xie He directly. The man in front of him was still vomiting blood. Everything became distorted and absurd.

Xie He stared at his expression intently, trying to glimpse his thoughts from the slight changes in his emotions.

What could Gu Nian do? He could only escape.

Xu Bai bent down with tears in his eyes and reached out to touch the broken pieces of porcelain in the teacup.

The sharp tip was aimed at the slender white neck and pressed down hard!

!!!

Xie He originally pretended to be poisoned. He tried to use this method to induce Gu Nian to say something. After all, he and Su Shi had "cooperated" too many times, and each other's weaknesses were exposed.

An emperor who is above everyone else cannot have weaknesses at the hands of others.

[Brother Su is still too cautious.] Xu Bai groaned, [Giving medicine but not poison, isn't this asking for big trouble?]
