Xie Duo stared into his eyes with a pained expression, and did not answer.

Han Jiao felt lost, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still want to give someone else a bracelet like this?"

Xie Duo looked at him and said in a hoarse voice: "I have fantasized about how to spend the rest of my life over and over again in my heart. I have so many things I want to do and so many places to go. In every fantasy, you are with me. Be around, no one else, no one else."

It is very difficult for Han Jiao to understand the long words now. He looked up at Xie Duo ignorantly, and suddenly seemed to understand. He stood up, raised his hands around Xie Duo's neck, and said happily: "You will always be with me. me?"

"I will." Xie Duo looked at him firmly with downcast eyes: "You have to stay with me all the time, the villagers said, if you wear this bracelet, you will grow old with me, Han Xiaobai, even if you have a black hair, you will not You can leave me."

Han Jiao cheerfully agreed, tilted his head reassuringly, and leaned on Xie Duo's shoulder.

Suddenly, the strength hanging on the back of Xie Duo's neck loosened, and the person in his arms fell quickly. Xie Duo wrapped his arms around his back in a panic, so Han Jiao didn't just fall asleep and fell to the ground.

Han Jiao's drowsiness became longer and longer, Xie Duo refused to send him home, and he himself no longer participated in the early court, using the excuse of his father's death and mourning, to let the sixth brother act as an agent of the court.

In just three days, Xie Duo met more than [-] Taoist priests one after another. I don't know if the eunuch had ordered something in advance. These people told Xie Duo in unison that Han Jiao can live a long life and his mind will recover soon.

But these pleasing words did not reassure him at all.

Xie Duo once again had a detailed conversation with the Taoist priest who set up a stall on the roadside.

"The Ziwei emperor star in this judgment refers to me? What about the father? He is also an emperor. For thousands of years, this land has been ruled by kings. Ziwei star has never been hidden. How can it be said to be alive?"

The Taoist stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty only knows one thing but not the other. There are indeed no shortage of emperors who rule the common people in all dynasties, but Ziwei's emperors who have gone down to earth for many calamities are extremely rare. They only come out once in about a thousand years. , thinking about the long-term, are beyond the reach of ordinary emperors."

Xie Duo stared at him coldly: "I sincerely ask the Taoist priest, if you continue to prevaricate me with these flattering words, you will be deceiving the emperor."

The Taoist hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if a monk speaks lies, his cultivation will be damaged. To deceive ordinary people with a little cultivation, the poor can afford it, but if he deceives Ziwei Xingjun, it will reduce his life! In this way, Pindao didn't dare to make false claims to eliminate disasters for Immortal Wenqu."

Xie Duo stared straight at the Taoist priest with a pair of shallow pupils, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "I don't have the strategy of governing the country as you said, and I didn't have this ambition since I was a child. If Ziwei really said it, how could it be me?"

The Taoist said calmly: "Returning to Your Majesty, your ambitions and preferences are not determined by God, but are related to the guidance of your relatives and friends in your childhood. If destiny can determine your personality and preferences, how can you violate the rules of heaven and be demoted to the mortal world?" What about Xianjun?"

Xie Duo thought for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "So, if I give up the throne, the sentence will not be fulfilled?"

The Taoist hurriedly explained: "No! No! Your Majesty, the way of heaven and destiny cannot be manipulated. If you try to change the destiny and give up the throne, Wenquxing will be damaged even more seriously!"

"Do you want me to just watch him fall asleep!" Xie Duo stood up abruptly, the fear in his eyes no longer hidden: "You have to help me, Taoist priest, you must help me!"

The Taoist priest looked helpless.

"Why is he against me?" Xie Duo couldn't believe it: "Did you have a grudge in the previous life? Then why did I fall in love with him? What is the Dao of Heaven? I was born to be played and tortured by it?"

The Taoist shook his head and said: "If you owe karma in the previous life, you will help each other in this life. As for the reasons for mutual restraint, there are too many reasons. Most of the calamity that Wenqu suffered was due to voluntary sacrifices, which led to the death of Ziwei Xinggui. Only when you change, you suffer backlash.”

Xie Duo frowned: "What do you mean?"

The Taoist stroked his beard and guessed: "Ziwei will surely go through calamities when she descends to earth. If Your Majesty is lucky and prosperous in this life, then the original calamity is likely to be offset by the life of Wen Quxing in the previous life."

Xie Duo's pupils shrank suddenly, and his mind suddenly roared——

He recalled the first night of love, the little child prodigy looked at him as if he had been waiting for a lifetime.

"Han Xiaobai, you've already seen that I like you, haven't you?"

"I was earlier than His Highness, but I kept it hidden in my heart until His Highness rescued me for the second time, and I made up my mind to pay His Highness back two lives."

……

"Why two lifetimes?"

"Didn't Your Highness ask me why I said that?"

……

"I just want Mr. Liu to take the initiative to resign, so that King Yan won't argue with you because of him."

"Believe it or not, I did all this for you!"

……

"In the past, I didn't want you to quarrel with King Yan. I was worried that you would get into trouble, but you always thought that I was partial to your brother."

"Fatality tricks people, God made me fall in love with you. I wanted to hide before, but I couldn't hold back my heart. Xie Duo, no matter how high you are, or how you fall into the abyss, I can only follow you obediently, because I I can't leave you long ago."

……

The words that the little prodigy had said before pierced his heart like a sharp knife. Xie Duo felt an unspeakable pain, staggered back two steps, and slumped back into his chair.

"Yes." He stared blankly at the ground, and said in a hoarse voice: "He pulled me back from the abyss, but what does this have to do with the Dao of Heaven? Did God do anything other than fool me? Why? Take his life for it?"

Seeing that the young emperor's face was ashen, the Taoist hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said: "The way of heaven is neither good nor evil, and there is absolutely no intention to fool His Majesty. The cause and effect of the world are all in our own hands."

There was a dead silence.

Xie Duo looked at him slowly: "I don't want him to die for me, if I die first, will he survive in peace?"

The Taoist cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the poor Taoist has just said that mortal beings can only choose their own destiny and cannot control the way of heaven. If you harm yourself in order to change Wenqu's destiny, it will only be counterproductive."

"Then why can Han Jiao change my fate?"

The Taoist nodded and said: "It's a coincidence, maybe the merits accumulated in several lifetimes are enough for him to change his own fate, so doing so may not be able to change your fate, but once his own changes affect your fate, he will have to change your fate." Pay the corresponding compensation, and you are Ziwei, the change of your fate will inevitably lead to the change of the fate of the people in the world, and these changes will damage the lifespan and intelligence of the sacrificer."

The more Xie Duo listened, the more confused he became: "Is there any way to change my fate and affect him? Are my merits enough? Last year I stopped the Tatar raid and saved at least half the lives of the people in the capital. Are these enough?"

The Taoist shook his head and said: "The merit lies in the heart, not in the amount. This kind of encounter can only be done by fate."

"Fate? He's about to die!" Xie Duofu stood up again, pacing back and forth eagerly: "Wenqu is gone, Ziwei is here. Since the judgment is so, why can't I give up the throne, but I can't break the calamity!"

The Taoist turned to face him: "If Your Majesty gave up the throne out of his own will, he would indeed be able to break the catastrophe, but if he acts forcefully to break the catastrophe, Wenqu will be in great trouble."

Xie Duo stopped suddenly, turned around, looked at the Taoist priest in astonishment, and said in disbelief for a long time, "Master, why didn't you say that earlier?"

Da Chu's number one Cuju master has never had the will to be an emperor in his life.

That night, King Yan was urgently called into the emperor's palace, and the emperor stuffed a volume of imperial edict without reading it out.

King Yan accepted the edict in a daze, opened it and took a closer look, and was immediately stunned.

He raised his eyes to look at the ninth brother, and said in a daze, "A Duo, you are now the emperor of Dachu, and you can no longer be as self-willed as before."

Xie Duo patted Sixth Brother on the shoulder: "No, you are now the Emperor of Great Chu, and I am the Supreme Emperor. From now on, Sixth Brother will need to work hard on state affairs."

King Yan warned seriously: "If you continue to mess around, I will call the queen mother and the third child, and let you taste the taste of twisting your ears and attacking the game at the same time."

"Sixth brother, I'm serious." Xie Duo lifted King Yan's shoulder and said solemnly: "For the time being, you have to act as an agent of government affairs as before, and you can only announce it to the outside world when all the party members in the court are under control."

King Yan narrowed his eyes fiercely: "Is it enough to make you crazy after a few days of approval? You want to be the Supreme Emperor at the age of 17? Do you want to leave the title of eternal lazy emperor in the history?"

Xie Duo was not happy anymore, frowned and said: "Why are you lazy? I don't want to do this, you know that, besides, I will have more opportunities to wipe out the enemy and protect the country in the future. We brothers will take what we like, isn't it? Is it good? In fact, I was planning to abdicate after two or three years, but now that Han Jiao is in danger, even if it is to save him, Brother Six cannot refuse."

"Is it at stake?" King Yan looked shocked: "What's wrong with Mr. Xiaobai? Didn't the imperial physician say that his pulse condition is normal and he will recover soon?"

Xie Duo told King Yan exactly what the Taoist had said.

These unimaginable words made Yan Wang frowned: "This Taoist priest is not a partisan sent by someone. He wants to coax you to abdicate, right?"

"Whether it's true or not, we can only believe it now." Xie Duo looked at him seriously: "I can't afford to bet on Han Jiao's life."

King Yan's mind was also confused: "But such a big matter..."

"Sooner or later, I will retire from the throne." Xie Duo repeated: "Sooner or later, big things will happen. Brother, when my father provoked my brother and me, thanks to Han Jiao who tried his best to stop me, I didn't make a big mistake. You You don’t want to watch him lose his life, do you?”

"Of course I don't want to see what's wrong with Mr. Yan!" King Yan was stunned: "... Can accepting this edict save him?"

"Yes." Xie Duo explained excitedly: "I have asked clearly, as long as I voluntarily surrender the throne to the person who voluntarily inherits the throne, it will be considered as a doom for Han Jiao."

King Yan scratched his head in doubt, looked down at the edict in his hand, and still felt that something was wrong: "Are you trying to take advantage of brother? Why are you too emperor? Something is wrong with this generation?"

"Let's say you accept the appointment first."

Under the urging of the ninth brother, King Yan agreed in a muddleheaded way. Before he had time to discuss in detail, he saw the ninth brother rushing into the bedroom.

Han Jiao slept soundly, Xie Duo patiently waited by the bed all night, and only woke him up early the next morning.

However, Han Jiao still couldn't remember Xie Duo's name.

The Taoist only told Xie Duo to be calm.

How could he be calm?

King Yan was also very worried about Han Jiao's safety, so he simply moved all the zhezi to the ninth brother's dormitory to correct, and accompanied him to guard Mr. Xiaobai.

Han Jiao began to fall asleep day and night, and Xie Duo became more and more silent day by day.

In order to divert his attention, King Yan often asked him for advice with notes. At first, Xie Duo would look at him impatiently. After three days, Han Jiao was still lethargic, and he no longer had the heart to deal with political affairs.

King Yan is not a comforter, so after thinking about it, he still found a book and kept asking Jiudi questions, but he ignored him, so King Yan kept talking to himself, trying to attract Jiudi's attention.

However, in the empty hall outside the dormitory, only King Yan could be heard talking endlessly.

Xie Duo, who was sitting in the armchair with his head bowed, could barely hear his breathing.

"I have discussed this issue in policy discussion before, has your Highness forgotten?" A clear voice suddenly came from the inner hall.

Xie Duo and King Yan were startled when they heard the sound, they turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a young attendant in white, smiling like he was in the study before, Shi Shiran walked into their sight.

"The minister has already discussed in the policy theory: if this industry really wants to achieve supervision and control, it must decentralize the people, compete on an equal footing, strictly limit the power of the government, and only collect part of the tax. It also allows the people to be more active in serving the country.”

"Mr. Xiaobai!" Yan Wang suddenly stood up: "You...you finally sober?"

Han Jiao smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "It's my fault for making His Highness worry."

King Yan let out a long sigh of relief, patted his chest and sighed: "I'm fine, look at my ninth brother, I was scared by you!"

Han Jiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes turned to look at the silent young man beside him.

Xie Duo looked at him expressionlessly, stood up slowly, and approached him.

Han Jiao's fists under his long sleeves were clenched suddenly, and he looked at Xie Duo with slanted eyes, suppressed his emotions, and took two steps back.

Xie Duo stared at him intently, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and patiently moved two steps closer, as if he was afraid of scaring the little prodigy away.

Han Jiao also laughed, and stared at the stinky brother for a moment, but his eyes were red, and he whispered: "Xie Duo, you are not allowed to hug me, I will cry, your brother is still there."

Xie Duo sneered and showed a small canine tooth, "You wait." He turned and walked towards Sixth Brother.

"What are you doing?" Yan Wang looked at the ninth brother walking towards him with a confused face, stretched out his sinful claws, and grabbed the back of his chair——

There was a rubbing sound of "呲啦", King Yan's chair was turned to face the wall behind him.

King Yan, who was sitting on the chair, was so abruptly turned to the wall by the ninth younger brother, and he could no longer see Mr. Xiaobai's demeanor behind him.

The evil ninth brother turned around and walked towards Mr. Xiaobai. King Yan wanted to turn around curiously, when he suddenly heard a muffled "plop", followed by Mr. Xiaobai's suppressed sobs...

King Yan blinked his eyes. To avoid embarrassment, he could only use his ears to distinguish the movements of the two behind him.

Then, he seemed to hear sucking and panting...

"What are you doing!" King Yan's eyes were wide open, and he turned his head in embarrassment. He just stared at the wall and said nervously, "A Duo? What are you doing to Mister? Don't act recklessly!"

The sucking sound became more and more intense...

Outside the main hall, the eunuchs suddenly heard King Yan's terrified roar: "Don't mess around!!!!"
