Wearing the white moonlight of a rival

"There is no trace here, how can I find it?" Zhu Yu asked Gu Heng.

He looked around in person, and the little bloodstain was broken there, as if it had disappeared out of thin air, without leaving any footprints.

And what was left was the killer's footprints, which circled back and forth many times, like headless chickens.

Gu Heng thought about it, but he didn't have any clues. The Habayashi guards all looked at him eagerly, and suddenly reminded him of the time when he was leading the army to fight at the border.

How did he find Wei Minghuan during that snowfield trip?

He suddenly remembered that Wei Minghuan had a habit.

Deep in the jungle, Wei Minghuan was covered in blood, leaning against the roots of an old tree, his face was also very pale.The smell of blood began to cause commotion among the birds and animals in the jungle, and Wei Minghuan could feel the strangeness around him even with his eyes closed.

Something was watching him, trying to kill him while he was sick.

If he died tragically in the mouth of animals because of this, then his fame in his life would be a joke. I hope that pig will show him some kindness, and don’t spread the news when he sees his tragic image. Just make fun of him secretly. .

Thinking back to when he was a child, if Gu Heng saw him laughing out of embarrassment, the corners of his mouth would also bend, saying that when a person is about to die, he will see the happiest time in his life.

"Wei Minghuan!"

"His Majesty!"

Someone was shouting in his ear, someone was pulling his body, he opened his eyelids with effort, and saw a familiar face.

In a trance, that face became the appearance of Gu Heng back then.

Wei Minghuan smiled, "Ah Heng, look at you, you have revealed your true colors, and you still don't admit it?"

Gu Heng couldn't understand what he heard, and stretched out his hand to caress Wei Minghuan's forehead, it was very hot.

Wei Minghuan grabbed Gu Heng's hand, "Ah Heng, there is something I want to give you."

Gu Heng asked: "What?"

The corners of Wei Minghuan's mouth were still smiling, but his eyes were a little out of focus, as if he was burning hot to the point of confusion.

He fished out from his pocket, and slowly took out a small wooden box from the most intimate place.The box is very small, almost as big as the palm of your hand, and there are no patterns. It looks like it was not made by a skilled craftsman, but it looks like it was cut by yourself with bare hands.

It already shows mottled marks, and some dust that hasn't been removed, obviously something that has been sitting there for many years.

Because one was on Wei Minghuan's chest, the blood from his wound had already stained it red, and even his hands were also stained with blood, which fell down between his fingers. Dried up into tiny blood clots.

"What is this?" Gu Heng asked.

Wei Minghuan didn't answer, but just looked at the person in front of him indifferently.In his eyes, this person has become what he was more than ten years ago.

"Ah Heng, it's agreed, let's make another promise." He handed over the small box and wanted to open it, but he didn't have any strength left.

Gu Heng's heart was shocked, he suddenly realized something, he couldn't believe it.

He took the small wooden box, and gently pulled away the top layer of wood, only to see that there was a withered hay ring in it, which had been placed for many years, and it seemed that it would break if touched.

The color also becomes dark.

He only glanced at it, then quickly closed the box, not daring to look at it again.

His eyes were covered with mist all of a sudden, making him unable to see the person in front of him clearly.

At this moment, Zhu Yu beside him said, "Your Majesty!"

A cry brought Gu Heng back from his thoughts.

Seeing that Wei Minghuan had lowered his eyes and slowly closed them, he couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, "Crazy, just for this, is it worth it!"

These words were murmured in a low voice, no one could hear them no matter how close they were, and no one even saw the mist rising from his eyes, and the red eye sockets were close to tears.

Three days later, Qinzheng Palace.

Wei Minghuan quietly opened his eyes. He seemed to have a dream. He dreamed that when he was very young, he was alone in a high wall, and he could only see a small sky when he looked up.

He was surrounded by a group of people in the corner of the high wall. They were all strong and strong adults with evil faces, and they beat and kicked him mercilessly and spoke extremely vicious words.

He can only shrink back as much as possible, crying or begging for mercy will only bring more severe beatings, and many times he feels that such days will never end, once he meets someone who treats him well, once he surrenders himself. If you don't pay attention, that person will die tragically in front of you.

From the nurse, to the little girl, to the servant, without exception.Even his biological mother died in front of him.

All kinds of things from the past came to his mind one by one, becoming a lingering nightmare.

It was as if he had returned to the corner of the palace wall, his whole body was crushed by the wheels, and it was really painful.

"Ah Heng..." The man who entered the target was feeding him medicine, his face was a little pale, his eyes were black and blue, and it looked like he hadn't slept well.

It's just that he clearly remembered that before he fell into a coma last time, what he saw was the Gu Heng in his memory, why did he have such a pretty face again.

"Since you're awake, drink the medicine. You know the severity." Gu Heng handed the spoon to his lips.

Wei Minghuan opened his mouth to drink, and his thoughts gradually came back. The moment of astonishment he had just woken up was no longer there. He asked, "How many days have I been in a coma?"

"Three days, during which I woke up intermittently, only for a short time, so it's normal if you don't remember." Gu Heng carefully fed the medicine.

Wei Minghuan drank one by one, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Gu Hengdao: "The imperial doctor said that you will be fully awake within two days. Do you need me to tell you about the situation between North Korea and China?"

The man's voice was very weak, and he seemed to have no emotion.

Wei Minghuan looked at the other person's eyebrows quietly, and saw that he lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eyes, as if he had never had his own thoughts.

"Have you found anything?" Wei Minghuan asked.

Gu Heng nodded, "Of course Prince Shun can't escape the responsibility, I have sent someone to put him under house arrest in the mansion, as for other aristocratic families, because Concubine Gu came back to Beijing to suppress them, they would not dare to act rashly... Rong from Honglu Temple Man, I've got Lou Diyu to be interrogated, and I've got the statement, just waiting for you to see it."

Wei Minghuan didn't speak.

Gu Heng continued: "My eldest brother in Daning Temple is investigating and caught two suspects, but their mouths are too tight. Look at that, they should be Prince Shun's cronies. If they pry open their mouths, Prince Shun will be sure..."

After Wei Minghuan finished drinking the medicine, he suddenly sighed and looked at Gu Heng with burning eyes.

Gu Heng felt uncomfortable, "What's the matter, Your Majesty? If you don't feel well, I'll ask the imperial physician to come and see again."

Wei Minghuan stretched out his hand and held Gu Heng's hand in his palm, "Ah Heng, do you agree to the promise I want?"

"What promise?" Gu Heng's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Wei Minghuan looked at him carefully, "It was agreed back then..."

"Your Majesty, I didn't understand what you were talking about." Gu Heng lowered his brows and looked down, his face was expressionless, as if there was only respect.

Wei Minghuan didn't expect that after this encounter, the other party would still refuse to admit it like this, even more indifferent.

"Didn't you see it?" Wei Minghuan asked, "I went to Daning Temple this time to get that thing. I always remember that I put it together with my concubine's longevity tablet. I never thought of taking it, just because I thought you were dead."

Gu Heng kept his mouth shut and did not speak.

Wei Minghuan said again: "The last time you asked me, I have repeatedly questioned my heart these days, and now I have the answer, are you willing to listen?"

Gu Heng was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes, "Your Majesty is talking about that small square box, I've seen it, it's not something important, why did Your Majesty suffer such a serious injury because of it? You just have to ask someone to take it back for these small things." .”

"Ah Heng..." Wei Minghuan wanted to speak.

Gu Heng's voice was extremely firm, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, you are the king of a country and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world. You must never retreat from the guards and act alone. I hope that your majesty will not do this recklessly again."

"Ah Heng, you..." Wei Minghuan was shocked.

Gu Heng lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "If Your Majesty is fine, I will step down."

He pulled his hand away, got up, picked up the tray with the empty medicine bowl, and walked straight out.

Wei Minghuan stopped him: "Ah Heng!"

He paused, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Wei Minghuan stared at Gu Heng's back for a long time, his voice trembling slightly, "Ah Heng, don't you admit it?"

"I don't understand. I have been upright all my life. If I don't change my name or surname, what is there to admit?" Gu Heng still didn't turn around, "I think His Majesty was injured, so he admitted to the wrong person."

"Then tell me, how did you find me in the deep mountains and old forests?" Wei Ming said without giving the other party any chance to defend himself, "Habayashi Wei doesn't know, neither does Jingji Wei, if you weren't him, how could you Can you find me so accurately and unmistakably like in the snow field back then?"

"Ah Heng, don't hide it, okay?"

Gu Heng turned his back to Wei Minghuan, so that the other party could not see his face, his shoulders became more and more straight, like a sharp sword, unrelenting.

Only the slight trembling of his chest and the slight silent sigh in the air still betrayed his emotions.
