Through the palace of the king of subjugation

The sleeping hall of Guangming Palace was completely silent, Xiao Yao got up and was about to turn off the bright lights in the room.

As the candles dimmed one by one, he suddenly heard chaotic whispers behind him.

"His Majesty?"

Thinking that the emperor had woken up, he hurriedly turned around and walked to the side of the couch, both surprised and delighted.

"Brother Baiou..." Li Yu murmured.

It turned out to be just a dream.

But this intimate name still made Xiao Yao's eyes blush.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Yao knelt by the couch and sighed, and said sadly, "This servant has already warned you, why should you do this..."

"You already know..." Now that there are no outsiders in the hall, his usual restrained and humble appearance has loosened a little, and he wiped away his tears with his cuffs, "Master Bai is going to marry a wife if he speaks..."

He said those disrespectful things that he would not dare to say to the emperor who was sleeping on the couch, but suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Doctor Zhang had specifically ordered before leaving that the emperor should not be exposed to the wind; he hurriedly got up to check which window behind him was not closed properly.

"Which girl is it, why don't I know?"

All the candles in the hall were extinguished, except for Yu's desk, which looked like a bean. Xiao Yao followed the familiar voice and saw only darkness.

He walked quickly to the desk and raised the lamp to shine in the direction of the sound.

"Bai...Master Bai!"

The white gull was leaning against the window frame, his usual lazy appearance, but his voice was as dark as the night, just like his face.

"What's going on?" he said coldly.

During the palace banquet, it was White Ou's turn to patrol in front of Jiacheng's palace. He only occasionally saw the little emperor pouring wine from a distance when passing by the gate of the palace, and he didn't know what happened during the banquet.

Banquet room.

"The Ai family has heard in the past few days that many young ladies from aristocratic families are marrying the man who holds the halberd next to the emperor, and I have never heard of any family he has a crush on."

Zhou Zheling was still sitting behind the curtain, but as long as she opened her mouth, she could still hold the breath of all gods and ghosts in the hall.

"The emperor refused to start a family as soon as possible because of himself, and even taught the group of courtiers to fail to learn well."

"Hey——" Gao Nei, who was waiting by the driver's side, hurriedly flattered: "I heard that Mr. Bai is in his twenties, and he has not married yet. I think he has a high vision; now he has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and has a bright future. You can’t pick the one you like.”

"That's right, you didn't mention Aijia, but you forgot that your surname is Bai?" Zhou Zheling said in a calm voice, "He has done a great job in rescuing the son in front of him, and he deserves to be rewarded. After the New Year's Eve is over, he should also be promoted to an official position." , as a congratulatory gift for marrying a wife."

Zhou Zheling's gossip was intended to mention the emperor's marriage with Zhou Muyun, but—

He does not mean that.

White Gull let out a long breath, let go of his arms, stood up straight, and walked towards the dragon couch.

He never thought that there would be a day in his life when someone would beat around the bush and urge him to marry him.

Holding the palace lantern in his hand, Xiao Yao walked behind Bai Gu, feeling a little disappointed.

After such a long time, Bai Gu only cared about the ins and outs of the matter when he entered the house, but he never asked about Li Yu's body.

But Li Yu whispered Baiou's name affectionately even in a coma.

In Xiao Yao's memory, in Li Yu's nightmares, most of them called out to Madam Su.

He couldn't help feeling a little unworthy for the emperor.

Li Yu in the couch seemed to be dazzled by the sudden light, and frowned slightly.

"I didn't see you in the gazebo." White Gull turned his body slightly, blocking the light behind him, and his slender body dragged a figure under the palace lantern, which just hugged the little emperor on the couch. He lowered his voice and said, "Tonight Who is following His Majesty?"

Bai Gu's subtle movements are very natural, and others would definitely not check; but Xiao Yao has followed Li Yu's side for the past ten years, trembling and walking on thin ice, and is famous for being careful.

"Slaves are not qualified to accompany His Majesty to attend the banquet." He sobbed slightly, "On such occasions, the high-ranking servants will personally wait on them."

"Does he have no brains!" White Gull angrily raised his voice unconsciously.

Li Yu seemed to be conscious in the couch, and then coughed lightly twice.

White Gull let out a long breath and lowered his voice again, "Isn't it common sense to take medicine and avoid alcohol? Your Majesty's complexion is already bad just by looking at it in the daytime. He let His Majesty drink so much at the banquet, and he still dares to take the medicine to soothe the nerves." Come? Do you sincerely want to kill the king!"

"You—" Xiao Yao, who was so cautious, was so frightened that he forgot his honorifics, and he quickly changed his words: "How did Master Bai know about His Majesty's illness?"

Xiao Yao had also heard sporadically from the conversation between Bai Ou and Li Yu before. Bai Ou always said that he knew everything, but this is amazing!

Bai Gu took it for granted, "I heard——"

He was not on duty tonight, so he couldn't carry the little emperor to rush to the imperial hospital, so he had to send Li Yu back to the dormitory and inform Xiao Yao, and hid on the roof before the people came.

After all, he has been very proficient in climbing Li Yu's window and roof these days.

He turned around and saw Xiao Yao's astonished eyes, and then he realized that he was "handy" when he went to the room, and no one else knew it.

So he stretched out a finger and pointed to the roof above.

Xiao Yao nodded, he understood, and then heard Bai Gu whispering softly——

"But the imperial doctor didn't say anything, he called me sometimes, and didn't recognize me..." Bai Ou looked back at the little emperor's brows which were still frowning in his sleep, "Why..."

"Your Majesty is haunted by nightmares, and has always had the problem of talking in his sleep." Xiao Yao respectfully said.

"Your Majesty is young—" Bai Gu's brows gradually tightened, "Where do you come from so many nightmares?"

"Sir, don't ask, Your Majesty doesn't want others to mention it." Xiao Yao lowered his eyes and bowed: "You can just think that Your Majesty is confused, anyway... His Majesty won't remember what he said when he wakes up. .”

Bai Gu also lowered his eyelashes, feeling a little empty in his heart.

It's like a sigh of relief, but also like a loss of something.

He still doesn't understand what that feeling is, but there is something that suddenly dawns on him right now.

No wonder Li Yu's people who resisted Zhou Zheling so much appeared beside him on the couch.

"Don't always give him medicine in the future." Bai Ou said softly: "Before going to bed, run with him around Guangming Palace twice."

Except when he was alone and afraid of the dark when he was a child, he seldom couldn't fall asleep, that is, during the half year abroad, mild neurasthenia once brought him serious sleep disorders.

He has also taken some sleep aid drugs, but all drugs will produce dependence——

He doesn't like to be dependent.

of any kind.

Later, follow the doctor's advice and exercise properly before going to bed, which can help you sleep.

It was also from then on that he developed the habit of exercising all year round.

"I'm leaving so that I won't run into people later." He turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Take care of him."

"Lord Bai——" Xiao Yao hesitated for a long time at the back of Bai Gu leaving, and finally opened his mouth before Bai Gu stepped over the screen, "The imperial doctor ordered His Majesty to rest, and no one will come."

"My lord...you..." He stammered, "You can just stay and accompany His Majesty."

"I went out to guard the servant who brought the medicine, and stopped them outside so that no one would find out." He walked up to Bai Gu and bowed, "At this time of year, His Majesty is always in a bad mood. ..."

Bai Ou wanted to ask why, but Xiao Yao didn't continue talking.

"Your Majesty—" he whispered when he got up, "If I wake up and see you by my side, I will be very happy..."

Xiao Yao's voice was very soft, and he had already walked behind the screen while speaking, he didn't know how much Bai Gu could hear.

This night, very quiet.
