Through the palace of the king of subjugation

The space in the cellar is not too small, but the height is a bit cramped. The white gull squats and kneels in it, listening to the movement above his head.

A wooden floor is not sound-proof, but the old couple must be afraid of bringing people in, so they went out of the courtyard specially. The white gull could hear the noisy voices of people, but couldn't hear what they were saying.

But soon, flickering firelight penetrated through the gaps in the planks.

"Search!"

Following the man's order, White Gull began to hear noisy footsteps overhead.

Oops!

He thought of the brothers and sisters Xiao Yao and Xiao Tao who wept together in the depths of Yongxiang that night, and Nanny Su who couldn't climb the bridge every morning pushing a small wooden cart full of Gong barrels...

In the history books, Empress Shang Ning was cruel and violent, and regarded human life as worthless; but in reality, those who seemed to be close to Li Yu did not have any good results.

The little emperor seems to have a habit of being extremely cruel to the people around him, let alone himself who has always been at odds with the emperor, if he is really caught back...

Li Yu had a bad relationship with Zhou Zheling, and he regarded him as Zhou Zheling's confidant. I'm afraid he wanted to get rid of him a long time ago, and if he found out the real crime this time, he might not even keep the whole body for him.

"My lord, I have searched everything, and there is no one!"

Just as Bai Gu was thinking, the voice above his head came again, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"No one?" The leader pinched his chin and stared at the old couple by the door, "I just saw a candle burning in this room, why did it go out when people with me came in? You two old things stood in the courtyard Stop me from doing business..."

The emperor didn't show his face after the assassination last night, and only sent a high-ranking servant to pass the word, and issued the order to arrest the man. I'm afraid this matter is not simple.

He has led people to search the mountain for a whole day, but he is tired and thirsty, and he has not found any traces; if he can't make a job on the cusp of such a storm, he is afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.Anyway, he found only two living people for a day, so it's good to get them back first to deal with them.

"There must be a ghost between you two! Your Majesty has an order, I would rather kill the wrong than let it go-" The man waved his hand, "Take it away!"

Would rather kill by mistake than let it go...?

Bai Gu rubbed his sore brows.

Little Emperor, you are really cruel.

In the evening, the old lady took the white gull and talked for a long time, but they were all gossips and didn't ask him too many questions.

Just before he entered the cellar, he was still lying. He was wearing such a gorgeous armor with injuries, and casually said that he was going to be arrested as a servant. Now thinking about it, it is ridiculous.

But no one debunked him...

In desperation, the old man chose to help him almost without thinking.

Some kindness seems to come naturally.

The white gull tore off a corner of the inner lining of the armor, tore it into cloth strips, wrapped it around the peak of the phalanx again, and smashed the wooden board above the head with one punch.

Sawdust splashed, he narrowed his eyes and dodged his head, then jumped back into the room, and saw that the group of people just now had retreated into the courtyard.

Whispering through the window door, he crossed the courtyard wall in two steps, stood outside the door, leaned against the door frame with his hands folded, and glanced down at the opened courtyard door——

"Anyone looking for me?"

"You—" The leader suddenly saw the white gull at the door, and took two steps back in shock, and then stammered after being supported by his subordinates: "You, you...why are you here?"

Bai Gu's eyes swept across the crowd with disdain, and he found the old couple who were detained at the end of the line. After confirming that nothing happened, he said calmly: "You want to take care of it?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a decree to catch, arrest fugitives!" The man raised his voice and bluffed, "Why are you still standing there! Come on!"

There were several metal sounds of "Zheng, ZHANG" in the crowd. Some people had to unsheath their long swords, but no one dared to step forward.

Bai Ou raised eyebrows, knowing that it was his prestige from defeating Beiyin warriors that day.

It seems that my luck is not completely exhausted.

"It's not worth it, don't you just want me to go back? I'll just go with you and leave the irrelevant people behind." He raised his right hand wrapped in cloth strips, clenched his fist and looked at it, and said casually: "Otherwise, Here I am today, only one is left."

Those two old fellows were originally brought back by the leader to prepare excuses for their inability to do things well. Now that the Lord is willing to submit, he can't ask for it, so he can't care about others; he bet on the white gull and prepared to go back to receive the reward.

It was late at night when White Gull was escorted back to the hunting camp. The candles in Wang's tent had not been extinguished, and he had been standing outside for a long time.

His arms were tied behind his back, and the feeling of pain was gradually replaced by numbness. Perhaps it was because he was walking in a hurry on the road just now, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Your Majesty will send you in."

When Xiao Yao came out to deliver the message, Bai Ou had already nodded his head and was about to fall asleep. He woke up when he heard the sound, and when he lifted his feet to go in, the person watching him followed quickly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao nodded again, "Your Majesty only passes on Master Jiji to one person."

The leader thought he had made a great contribution and was in a hurry to ask for the reward, but suddenly his eyes widened in fright.

How could the fugitive just now become Master Jiji again in the blink of an eye?

Bai Gu pursed his lips and walked in nonchalantly, while Xiao Yao thoughtfully lifted up the curtain for him.

"Are you back?" Li Yu was still leaning on the rosewood armchair, closing his eyelids tiredly.

Bai Guu's hands were still tied and it was inconvenient to salute, so he just gave a faint "hmm".

"Let's go down, what should we do?" Li Yuyan fell silent, and his pretty little face seemed to be asleep.

Bai Gu stood in the tent in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while.

He had never thought about anything before, Li Yu wanted to lock him up, punish him, or even kill him. He had thought about countermeasures on the way back from being escorted; but he never thought about it——

Li Yuhui pampered him so lightly.

Thinking of Xiaotao and Nanny Su before, he felt that his luck...

Too good to be true?

Just when Bai Ou was in a daze, Xiao Yao stepped forward to untie the hemp rope tied around his wrist.

"I've never asked what you like to do." Li Yu opened his eyes slightly, "It's just your first visit to Yuyang Mountain, so don't wander around next time, it's easy to get lost."

Go... lost?

He took advantage of the chaos when Yu Jia was assassinated, left the palace privately and neglected his duties. In the eyes of the little emperor, he just lost his way?

No wonder Xiao Yao still called him Master Jiji just now, maybe Li Yu was going to use this excuse to cover the matter for him?

but……

why?

Whether it is the Empress Shang Ning in the history books or the little emperor he knew, they should not be so soft-hearted that they would take the initiative to excuse the traitors.

"Your Majesty..." Bai Gu was thinking about what to say, even if it was Xie En, but the words were still stuck on his lips.

"Go down." Li Yu said impatiently, "I'm tired."

"His Majesty!"

After the white gull left, Chen Yu stepped out from behind the screen of the king's tent, with a heartbroken expression on his face, "Such a god-given opportunity, you can justifiably get rid of the nails placed by the empress dowager, why do you want to—"

"Chen Qing—" Li Yu raised his hand, and slowly interrupted Chen Jin's voice, "Be quiet."

"Do you still remember what you came here to discuss with me?" He opened his eyes, sat up straight in the armchair, and lowered his voice, "You must let me touch the Empress Dowager and her old man at this juncture. scale?"

Chen Jin frowned when he heard the words, and after pondering for a moment, he saluted Li Yu, "It's because the old minister didn't think carefully."

"Chen Qing speaks seriously." Li Yu waved his hand, "You have to enter the palace early in the morning, so come back earlier, don't be too late, and show your feet again."

"Yes." Chen Jin bowed again, "The news of His Majesty's assassination has been reported to the palace after the court today, presumably the Empress Dowager will give orders from the court tomorrow morning to end the autumn hunting and take His Majesty back to the palace."

"Tomorrow is the last day, and the veteran will come tomorrow night to make a final agreement with His Majesty."

"Your Majesty." Xiao Yao returned to the account after seeing off Chen Yu, and seeing Li Yu still lazy in the armchair, he stepped forward to help Li Yu up, "Let's rest."

"Can't sleep." Li Yu got up and sighed lightly, "Is there no one around right now? You walk with me."

The moonlight in the mountains was extraordinarily clear, and even the air seemed different from that in the palace. Li Yu walked faintly, and for some reason, he came to Baiou's tent.

He glanced at the tent with the lights turned off, but he still seemed to be able to see the white gull wiping his sweat with his sleeves after he finished pushing the bucket cart.

"Find an imperial doctor tomorrow and show him." He turned his head and told Xiao Yao who was behind him, "That complexion... doesn't look very good."
