Zhao Jun quickly stepped into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and caught a glimpse of the young man who was pressed to the ground and received a stick.

"The emperor is here." Empress Dowager Jiang nodded lightly, "Is this Young Master Yu your man?"

Zhao Jun didn't answer yes or no, he just bowed to the queen mother first, and there was no mistake in the standard of action, and then he said: "Yu Bai is my newly selected bodyguard, he is young and doesn't know the rules, if he offends the queen mother, he will I hope you are magnanimous and don't argue with him."

As he spoke, he glanced coldly at the servant who was executing the execution.Naturally, they didn't dare to disobey the emperor's wishes, so they immediately stopped and stepped aside.The queen mother watched with cold eyes, which confirmed Yu Bai's position in Zhao Jun's heart.

She waved her hand to signal several servants to step down, and said to Zhao Jun, "Ai's family is free today. I wanted to ask Mr. Yu to accompany Ai's family to drink tea and chat. Unexpectedly, he spoke rudely. The tea set given to the Ai family, such an act, is really appalling. You don’t have a queen yet, so the Ai family will teach him for you, the emperor won’t care, right?”

"Don't dare to take action after working with the mother." Zhao Jun said lightly, "This matter is because I didn't discipline him strictly. When I bring Yu Bai back, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

"The emperor thinks that the Ai family is meddling in their own business." The queen mother sneered, "Forget it, you are the emperor now, and of course you can decide on your own. How do you see it?"

"I have already said that he is just a bodyguard." After a pause, Zhao Jun said again, "The queen mother also knows that I am the emperor now. If you wish, it is naturally under one person, and the fifth younger brother can also enjoy the title of prince. For a lifetime Wealth and no worries."

The Empress Dowager's complexion suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"

That's enough.

"I have made my fifth brother King Ning, and the queen mother should rest well, so as not to worry my fifth brother." Zhao Jun gave Li Dehai a look, and Li Dehai realized it, and immediately went to help Yu Bai.

This 17-year-old body is really weak.However, after only a few strokes, Yu Bai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the moment his toes touched the ground, he felt a tingling pain. He took a deep breath, and resisted it so that he didn't faint like before.

——If I knew it was so painful, I would change it.

When he stood up with difficulty, a shadow fell in front of him at some point, and Zhao Jun stood in front of him, looking at him silently.

Yu Bai raised his head, facing those dark eyes.

He said, "Keep your back on my back."

Zhao Jun was stunned for a rare moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of these three words.Yu Bai's back was in pain like a scorching fire, seeing him in a daze, he couldn't help being a little irritable: "Hurry up, I'm in pain."

Probably because of the legendary head lowering technique, Zhao Jun bent down slowly in front of the face that was pale due to pain, and slowly bent down in front of the empress dowager and palace servants who were still on the scene. He tried to hug Yu Bai, but unexpectedly he broke away.

"Don't hug me, my back hurts." Yu Bai tilted his head impatiently, "Carry me on your back."

"Carry him on your back", this posture means that Zhao Jun has to squat down and let Yu Bai climb up on his back.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, such an act is indeed detrimental to the majesty of the emperor, not to mention that there are plenty of guards who can do it for him-so Zhao Jun squatted down in a strange way.

A corner of the bright yellow dragon robe brushed across the ground of the Compassionate Ning Palace.Looking at the short man, Yu Bai consciously leaned over and put his arms around his neck naturally, resting his head on his shoulder.

The movements are natural and skillful, as if everything has been rehearsed hundreds of times.

Sensing his movements, Zhao Jun froze slightly, but did not shake him off, and only said coldly: "Why are you not afraid that I will plot something wrong at this time?"

Yu Bai closed his eyes and replied to him: "Where do you come from talking so much. Or you can use someone else to carry me on your back, I won't pick."

Zhao Jun choked, and the breath was stuck in his throat, unable to get up or down.

I don't know when it started, Yu Bai seemed to be a different person, although he still spoke sarcasticly to him, but there was a bit of joking in it, and it was no longer the extreme inhumanity of the past.If it were just a few days ago, Yu Bai was struggling on his own until he fainted, and he would never ask him for help, and said coquettishly, "Carry my back."

In his heart, he and the queen mother are both murderers, even worse.

The son of heaven, the new emperor of Liang, actually walked back to Yannan Pavilion with a person on his back under the watchful eyes of everyone.

This news was born in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and immediately spread like wings in the front and rear palaces. Some people are happy that there are hopeful successors, and some worry that the emperor's beauty will harm the country. However, there are different opinions about the identity of that person. Learned.

The road from Compassionate Palace to Yannan Pavilion is not too long.

Zhao Jun had a broad back, and his steps were considered steady. Yu Bai lay drowsy on Zhao Jun's shoulder, and when he was suddenly put down, he couldn't help but let out a muffled snort.

——Is there something wrong with this person's brain? How can there be any reason to lay down a person who has just received the court rod and still has an injury on his back?

All in all, he only took six blows of that court stick, and it would have passed if he had been beaten once in normal times. Today, he was so delicate that Zhao Jun had to carry it all the way back—rao had already made up his mind. , Yu Bai also felt that his face was hot, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

It was a young imperial doctor who came to see him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's just a skin trauma, just apply medicine and rest for a few days."

From the sound, it was probably Yu Qing porridge?It's just that Yu Bai really doesn't remember that he has seen him at this time.

The footsteps gradually faded away, presumably everyone had left.Yu Bai sighed softly in his heart, but suddenly felt a small hot spot on the back of his hand.

A pair of hands gently brushed the broken hair soaked in cold sweat on his forehead, with an unprecedented gentleness and care.

"Abai." He whispered, "Abai, do you still remember when we were in Liucheng?"

It was originally an extremely short process for the sound to fall to the ear and then transmit the information to the brain.Yu Bai clearly heard the voice "Ah Bai, do you still remember when we were in Liucheng", but he couldn't understand the true meaning of this sentence for a long time.

At the same time, there are sealed memories breaking through the barriers.

First a little bit, then a lot, and finally, those memories of the past swept in like a tsunami.Yu Bai unconsciously grasped the man's hand, but he couldn't stop him from being drawn into the bottomless abyss by those memories.

It seems that a long time ago, this person also held his hand and asked him in a hoarse voice: "Abai, do you remember when we were in Liucheng?"

……

Later, even though things had passed for a long time, Zhao Jun always remembered that it was the spring of the first year of Chengyuan.The drought in the north has just subsided, and the Queen Mother's party is still ready to move. After returning to the palace, he heard that Yu Bai was summoned to the Palace of Compassion.

When he rushed there in a hurry, he saw Yu Bai being pressed on the torture tool by two palace servants, and the thick court rod fell on his thin body one by one.

At that moment, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Compassionate Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang.To him, the magnificence here was more like a thorn in his heart, which got deeper every time he breathed.

He saw Yu Bai helplessly being pushed down in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and when the imperial staff fell on him one after another, he could hardly breathe for a moment.

He thought of the childhood when his biological mother died young. When his brothers and sisters were raised by his biological mother in gold and jade, and when they enjoyed flowers in spring and snow in winter, he rubbed his hands to keep warm in the air-drained bedroom, reading other imperial palaces by moonlight. The old book that was thrown out was surrounded by an old eunuch of the same low status.

Because he accidentally bumped into the noble fifth prince, and was scolded and slapped by the queen mother who was Jiang Guifei at that time, the emperor remembered this son who had been kept in the cold palace...

He seemed to see Ah Bai who was abused and humiliated by him not long ago, and also seemed to have traveled through more than ten years, through the young man in front of him, and saw the young self who was slapped by the imperial concubine because of an accidental mistake.

That was the first time he realized that he had gone from victim to perpetrator.

When Zhao Jun went back holding Yu Bai covered in scars, he shed a tear.The hot tear fell on the back of Yu Bai's hand, scalding a bright red gash.

Yu Bai did not fall asleep.He opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Jun, clearly his face was as pale as snow, but his tone was as indifferent as before: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong, please let me go."

Zhao Jun didn't respond.He asked himself in a low voice and urgently, Zhao Jun, what are you doing?

In the freezing Northwest, Yu Bai brought him the only warmth.But what did he do?What did he do to Yu Bai for his own selfish desire?

For whatever reason...he strangled him.

Zhao Jun's heart palpitated suddenly, as if he finally got out of the nightmare that had trapped him for many days.

He asked in a low voice: "Ah Bai, do you still remember when we were in Liucheng?"

The cold sweat on his forehead gradually stopped.Yu Bai stared at him quietly with his dark eyes open, without answering for a long time.

……

"Abai, do you still remember when we were in Liucheng?"

"I've been confused for the past few days. I'm sorry for you. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to keep you... I'm afraid that you will be snatched away like everything I have ever liked before, or if you don't want to stay, once you go not return."

"If you want, these things will never happen again. Let's do what we did in Liucheng, okay?"

"Abai..."

There will be thousands of promises in the future, but that is his only true words.

Yu Bai stared at him blankly, a flood of memories poured into his mind across the mountains, making him have a splitting headache.

He finally remembered.

The author says:

I baked a cake for myself, and after I cut it, I found that it was still batter? (ˉ﹃ˉ?)
