I dare not

The next day, just after dawn, Xiao Anzi knocked on the door.

"Your Highness, the time has come."

Xiang Zenan was reluctant to let go of Gu Qiao, and kissed his forehead, nose tip, and cheek with his eyes closed.

Gu Qiao woke up, opened her eyes slightly, her body was sore and painful, and her voice was hoarse.

"Your Highness."

"Sleep a little longer, don't go today," Xiang Zenan closed his eyes with his lips, "It's been a long day and it's hot, and you have to stand for a long time, so you can sleep here."

"Then how can it be?" Gu Qiao woke up, and propped herself up to think about it, but just after she propped herself up a little, she lay down again in pain.

There was a contented smile in Xiang Zenan's voice, "Look, you can't even get out of bed."

Gu Qiao was a little annoyed, and pushed him with her hands, "Today is the enthronement ceremony, how can I not go?"

"I said you don't have to go, you don't have to go," Xiang Zenan caressed his face, pinched his chin and kissed him, "I don't want you to be troubled."

"Then why were you willing to do it last night?" Gu Qiao stared, she didn't let him have a good rest last night, tossing and turning.The hot water prepared by the palace people was cold and changed several times, and it was almost dawn before falling asleep in a daze.

Xiang Zenan chuckled, "I was the one who suffered last night, okay?"

Gu Qiao ignored him and lifted the quilt to get up, but Xiang Zenan hugged his waist to prevent him from getting up.

"My Highness," Gu Qiao said helplessly, "Stop making trouble, time is running out."

Xiang Zenan pushed him back and insisted: "You don't go."

"We've been through so much just for this day, and I don't want to miss it."

"I know, but I don't want you to kneel on me," he pulled Gu Qiao into his arms, "I don't want you to kneel on me with Baiguan, that way I will feel that you are far away from me."

Gu Qiao froze for a moment, then smiled again, "Your Highness, when I see you in the future, I will kneel according to the etiquette."

Xiang Zenan looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I don't want you to kneel on me, I want you to be by my side."

Gu Qiao had a sore nose and couldn't help sobbing. He closed his eyes to cover up and turned around, "If you don't go, don't go, Your Highness, change clothes quickly."

Xiang Zenan kissed the top of his hair, then turned to call Xiao Anzi outside the door to come in.

There is also an abdication ceremony before enthronement today, and you have to wear court clothes to participate. After the abdication ceremony, you will go to the warm pavilion to change into a dragon robe and ascend the throne.

Xiao Anzi came in holding the crown, followed by a string of maids and servants, each with their heads down, not daring to look around.

Gu Qiao was inside the bed tent, first heard the sound of water, then the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and the sound of jade objects colliding lightly. No one spoke, and the palace people didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Only then did he truly feel that Xiang Zenan was about to sit in that lofty position, and he actually hid in the new emperor's bed on the morning of the enthronement ceremony.A sweet and bitter feeling filled his chest, as if he monopolized a piece of treasure in the world, but he couldn't show it to others.

While in a daze, the bed curtain was lifted, and the neatly dressed Xiang Zenan leaned in from the side of the bed.

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Qiao rolled her eyes, "Your Highness, let's go."

Xiang Zenan leaned over and kissed his forehead, "I'll ask Xiao Anzi to go to the imperial hospital to get your medicine, and you can sleep for a while."

Gu Qiao nodded, Xiang Zenan got up and closed the bed curtain, and went out.

He stared at the dark pattern embroidered on the ceiling for a while, but was really tired and sleepy, and fell asleep in a daze.

Because the old emperor's mental state was very unstable, the abdication ceremony was held very briefly.When Gu Qiao woke up again, he heard the sound of the new emperor enthroning the bell and chime from a distance, and it was already time.

He moved to the side of the bed with support, opened the bed curtain, and saw Xiao Anzi dozing off on the footrest by the side of the bed.

He lifted the quilt, endured the pain and got off the bed lightly, put on his clothes and went out.

All the people in the Sun Palace ran to the front hall to watch the enthronement ceremony, but there were no one on the way, so he walked out of the palace gate alone.

While dozing off, Xiao Anzi waited for Gu Shiyi to wake up. There was no movement on the bed at noon, so he boldly opened the bed curtain and looked in. Suddenly, his spine felt chills from fright. Where is he? !

He saw that Gu Qiao's shoes and clothes were gone, and he knew that he was probably out of the palace, but he still had the medicine in his hand!And the new emperor ordered himself to wait on him and take care of the relics. This is great, no one is watching!

Xiao Anzi ran all the way to Hengyang Gate. The guards guarding the gate said that they had seen Gu Shiyi and had left for quite a while.

As a servant, he didn't dare to go out of the palace at will, and he couldn't explain to the new emperor when he went back at this time, he regretted so much that he wanted to slap himself in the face.

Going back and forth at the gate of the palace several times, hoping for a miracle to happen, Gu Shiyi turned around and turned back, but unfortunately there was no miracle, so he had to go back to Chengxuan Hall tremblingly.

After returning, he was restless again, fearing that the medicine would not be delivered to Gu Shiyi, and the new emperor would punish him, so he hurriedly asked a guard to deliver the medicine to Prince Yu's mansion.

Gu Qiao walked very slowly along the way.

On the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, tax relief and amnesty were announced, and the common people in the capital were also happy. The streets were buzzing with people talking about the newly appointed emperor.

"I was a merchant in northern Xinjiang, and I saw this majesty with my own eyes, shooting through two northern barbarians with one arrow!"

"What is that? I heard that when His Majesty inspected the flood in Lianzhou, the flood receded as soon as he arrived!"

"Yes, true dragon emperors have been oracleed." The aunt who sells wine in Danglu also came out to participate in the discussion, "When the third prince was born, the entire capital was covered with golden auspicious clouds!"

Gu Qiao was amused to hear it, but she was inexplicably secretly proud - the person you are talking about is mine.

He stopped and went, dawdling until noon before returning.

On the way back to the guest room, he had to pass by the small building near the lake. Gu Qiao knew that King Yu never went out, so he might be sitting by the window on the second floor today.Ever since King Yu said that he was not worthy of loving Xiang Zenan that day, he has been avoiding King Yu with a guilty conscience recently.

He quickened his pace when passing by the small building near the lake, but his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and he couldn't walk faster if he wanted to.

"Gu Suyi."

Someone upstairs called him, it was King Yu's voice.

Gu Qiao was startled, what kind of terrifying ear power is Yu Wang?So you can tell it's him?

He looked up to the upstairs, and Yu Wang was looking at him with a half-smile.Gu Qiao opened her eyes wide, can King Yu see it?He tentatively waved his hand upstairs, "His Royal Highness King Yu."

"Gu Shiyi come up and sit down."

Gu Qiao was sure that King Yu could see it, and he clearly saw that King Yu's eyes were following him.

He was shocked for a moment, turned around and walked into the small building, and formally saluted again on the second floor, "See King Yu."

King Yu looked at him leisurely, "Why doesn't Gu Shiyi go to the enthronement ceremony today?"

Gu Qiao stood still, tilting her head to look into King Yu's eyes, "Can King Yu see it?"

King Yu raised the corner of his mouth, "This king can always see it."

"Ah?" Gu Qiao was petrified, "Why?"

"Who told you that you must be blind if your eyes are covered with veils?"

Gu Qiao couldn't figure it out, "But, Your Majesty... His Majesty also said that you have eye problems..."

Yu Wang laughed loudly, "It seems that the third child is still very strict, and you didn't even tell me."

"Can you tell me why?"

"Go and ask your Majesty." King Yu didn't want to explain this to him, "But don't tell others, this is our little secret."

"Minister?" Gu Qiao was surprised, he thought King Yu didn't like him, and their relationship was not to the point where they could share little secrets.

King Yu didn't say any more, he pointed to the small porcelain bottle on the table with his chin, "It's from the palace, you take it."

"What is this?" Gu Qiao was at a loss, and took a look at the small porcelain bottle in his hand. There was a small imprint of the Taiyuan Hospital underneath.He opened the bottle and smelled a cool aroma.

"Yufu Powder, which reduces swelling and relieves pain, activates blood and removes stasis, is a special boudoir medicine in the palace." Yu Wang said with a smile.

Gu Qiao suddenly blushed, "This... this..."

"The third one is the same, today's enthronement ceremony, and last night had to work hard to pick up things, it's too reckless."

Gu Qiao remembered that she once kissed Xiang Zenan in front of the prince, it turned out that he had been watching helplessly!

He almost wanted to jump from the window, his face was dripping with embarrassment, "If His Royal Highness Yu Wang has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

King Yu was in a good mood to appreciate Gu Qiao's embarrassment for a while, and when Gu Qiao was about to lose his temper, he finally showed mercy: "Gu Shiyi, please do what you want."

Gu Qiao felt like she had been pardoned, so she hurriedly withdrew.When I went downstairs, I was a little anxious, and the wound was a little stinging, and I silently slandered the new emperor in my heart.
