The lights in the palace were dimmed, and the night became more and more silent in this colorful and bright light. There were soft footsteps from the huge palace.

The young emperor who had just succeeded to the throne was still reading at night with the lamp on. He was reading so seriously that the shadow of someone who came over covered him, and he didn't realize it. behind him.

Zheng Zheng's eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, his eyes fell on the book in his hand, and then he turned to look at him: "It's so late, Your Majesty is still reading."

"Ah, I can't help it..." Mu Yunxi scratched his hair irritably, picked up the books on the table and patted them: "Uncle Huang said that I have to read all these books."

"Your Majesty is afraid of the Regent?"

"It's not that I'm afraid..." Mu Yunxi said in a low voice, frowning: "It's just a little annoying..."

"What's bothering you?!" A stern question came from the door, and Mu Yunxi shuddered suddenly, looking nervously at the person walking outside.

Gu Shibai straightened up, watched Mu Qianli walk out of the door with a cold face, smiled helplessly, and teased: "My lord, Your Majesty seems to be very afraid of you."

"Mu Yunxi!" After listening to Gu Shibai's words, Mu Qianli deliberately raised his voice, his expression became more serious, and walked to Mu Yunxi's table, staring at him: "What do you say you are afraid of me?"

"I..." Mu Yunxi lowered his head guiltily, scratched the back of his head, and dared not look directly into Mu Qianli's eyes. After a moment of silence, he carefully said: "Uncle, you are too fierce...let me see So many books."

"What did you say?!" Mu Qianli reached out and patted the table with a "slap", and pinched Mu Yunxi's ear with the other hand, complaining: "Little brat! Did I treat you badly?!"

"Not good!" Mu Yunxi suddenly let go of his courage and directly retorted: "The emperor knows how to scold me! Unlike Mu Shufei, who will give me pastries when I am tired from reading!"

"A few pieces of pastries just bought you?!" Mu Qianli scolded with a suppressed smile, and couldn't help stroking Mu Yunxi's head: "Okay, if you can't finish reading, don't read it, go to bed early, There is no rush to control the knowledge of these national policies."

"However, you have to tell Uncle Huang, besides bringing you food, did Concubine Mu Shu say anything to you?" Mu Qianli asked again.

Mu Yunxi stopped collecting the books, tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Never..."

"It's fine if you don't..." Mu Qianli sighed, remained silent for a while, then raised his hand and patted Mu Yunxi on the shoulder: "Yun Xi, remember, you are the king of the world, and you must be clear and loyal. ! Don’t follow in the footsteps of Gaozu and your father.”

The night was dark, and the candlelight illuminated Mu Yunxi's half-understanding eyes: "Uncle Emperor... I have something to tell you..."

The palace steps were silent, and from time to time there would be patrolling soldiers passing by in neat rows. The carriage passed by the soldiers and drove towards the gate of the palace. The people sitting in that carriage were Gu Shibai, who had returned late from the palace, and Mu Qianli.

The cold wind of early autumn blew up the workshop of the carriage, and the person hiding behind the curtain showed half a handsome face.Mu Qianli was fascinated by the thick night, and there was silence in the car.

Gu Shibai lowered his head and straightened his wrinkled clothes, and said in an ordinary way: "I'm afraid this matter is a bit tricky..."

"I've sent people to keep an eye on that man's movements. Now, I'm afraid I can only use one trick to lure the snake out of its hole." Mu Qianli closed his eyes, sighed softly, and looked back at Gu Shibai: "The general only needs to be ready to fight abroad. I'll do the rest!"

"I want to guard you... but I always fail." Gu Shibai supported his head, his hair was combed into a high ponytail with gold hairpins, and the ponytail fell loose, with countless strands hanging from between his fingers. Tilting her head, she looked at Mu Qianli with a light smile, and said softly, "Will you marry me when I come back?"

"Don't say stupid things!" Mu Qianli straightened his face, a little displeased: "I'm a man, so I can't marry you!"

"Oh, is that so?" Gu Shibai lowered his eyes and shook his head with a smile: "Then how about I marry you? The left and right are the same!"

Mu Qianli's face became even more ugly, and he pointed at the door of the car angrily: "If you don't talk about business, get out!"

"If I come back victorious, I will always try to please..." Gu Shibai persevered and turned the corner.

Mu Qianli was furious, and simply said: "Then let's wait until you win!"

"Empty words are useless..." Gu Shibai rolled his eyes and chuckled, Mu Qianli looked at him suspiciously, and was about to ask him what he meant when he opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
