11 Chapter 11: I’ve never seen someone so stupid.

Xiao Yu'an didn't expect that there will be a day after he transmigrated here in which he wouldn't feel bored without TV, struggle without WiFi, or feel anxious without air conditioning.

It's because he can't sleep! He! Can't! Sleep!

After Xiao Yu'an lied on the bed for such a long time without being able to fall asleep, he simply turned over and climbed up to harass Yang Liuan, who was guarding the night outside the Palace hall.

Guard Yang was scared to death, but despite that, he still accompanied Xiao Yu'an to talk about life.

Xiao Yu'an: "The sea is full of water. The horse has four legs. Heaven, I just want to sleep."

Yang Liuan's mouth was twitching, and his heart was collapsing, but as the Emperor's Imperial bodyguard, it was his duty to listen Xiao Yu'an's thoughts with due diligence and conscientiousness.

"By the way, Liuan, do you have a family?" Xiao Yu'an thought for a while and suddenly asked.

"Answering to his Majesty, no, I don't".

"How about your parents?"

Yang Liuan hesitated for a while and answered honestly: "Weichen1 was born from a maidservant, I don't know who my father is. Weichen grew up in the palace and won the favor of the late Emperor, later I got the position of imperial guard. Now Weichen works for his Majesty, I'm willing to devote myself and die for his Highness".

Inexplicably remembering about the cut in half body of Yang Liuan in the original book, Xiao Yu'an frowned feeling uneasy and changed the topic.

After chatting blindly for a while, Xiao Yu'an remembered that the young Monarch had the attribute of being a cut sleeve. He was afraid that if the conversation continued like this, Yang Liuan's innocence couldn't be guaranteed, so he went back to bed staying up late stiff as a corpse.

After staying like that for a while, he saw the candlelight flickering outside the bedroom door, it was Hong Xiu: "Your Majesty, did you sleep?"

"Huh? I couldn't sleep, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu'an wondered.

Hong Xiu carried a lantern in one hand and a porcelain bowl in the other: "This maidservant heard from Guard Yang that His Majesty couldn't sleep at night, so I cooked a calming soup".

Xiao Yu'an felt warm in his heart: in this story, where all the considerate girls will be collected by the male lead, you're definitely a clear stream Hong Xiu!

In addition, Hong Xiu also knew that the young Monarch can't change the fact that he likes men, there wasn't an intention of conspiracy with this kind of behavior, and so on! Hong Xiu knows his temperament, so…

Xiao Yu'an suddenly came up with an idea and asked Hong Xiu: "It's okay, I won't drink the soup, but you can stay with me by the bed and wait for me to fall asleep".

Hong Xiu was stunned: "Does his Majesty feels that the long night is boring? Why don't you let this maidservant go and call the male concubines to accompany you?"

Don't call those little devils, I really can't take the route of the tyrannical president! As soon as they come, they'll stick to my body as if I was a delicious course meal! Can't take them off!

Xiao Yu'an had no choice but to say: "No, I recently have decided to advocate by the principle of Heaven and destroy all human desire".

"Destroy, destroy all human desire?" Hong Xiu almost bite off her tongue because of the shock, "Your Majesty, why do you want to suddenly become empty!"

...

After she said the last sentence, Hong Xiu felt her words weren't proper, in fright she fell to her knees: "This humble servant was imprudent, I ask for his Majesty to punish this lowly slave".

Xiao Yu'an, who felt like he couldn't sleep anymore, wanted to cry without tears: "It's okay, rise your head, you will kneel without moving".

Hong Xiu sighed in relief. When the verbal communication failed, Xiao Yu'an was about to give up, but Hong Xiu no longer talked nonsense and took the initiative to blow out the candlelight, then she stood beside the Dragon couch.

Xiao Yu��an was moved to tears, he turned over and felt like meeting the Good of Dreams.

It wasn't easy to solve the problem of how to fall asleep, and when Xiao Yu'an thought that he could finally relax for a couple of days, the main plot of the original book slapped him hard in the face.

The General of the town of Beiping came to offer his advice!!!

Xiao Yu'an chewed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and blankly asked Yang Liuan, who came to report him the news: "Who?"

"Your Majesty! It's General Sun!" Yang Liuan felt like crying.

Xiao Yu'an choked on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and coughed for a long time, Yang Liuan quickly brought some water: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Don't worry, eat slowly".

What about I also eat a hammer!

Xiao Yu'an hurriedly drank the water, afterwards in a porcelain bowl he put a small dish containing osmanthus cake, he gave it to Yang Liuan: "These are all for you, where's General Sun?"

Yang Liuan seeing his arms inexplicably filled, answered: "The General is waiting for His Majesty in the main hall".

Xiao Yu'an didn't dare to neglect, he quickly got up and rushed towards the main hall in a hurry. His stomach felt uneasy.

It was the original plot! The General Sun was a great man, he was over 60 years old and fought with the three generations of Monarchs of the Northern Kingdom. He was respected by thousands of people, and after following the late Emperor's crusade against the state of Southern Yan Kingdom, he was appointed as the General of Beiping, holding half of the military power of the Northern Kingdom.

Listen! It's! The! General! Of! Beiping! So cool! So powerful!

Moreover, the Monarch and his subjects are always relatives. This old General is also the grandfather of Princess Yongning!

But this is such an old General, in the original book, he was almost beheaded by the young Emperor! Almost killed by that fool!

Killed!!!

Since ancient times, the most loyal way of death for courtiers was probably by remonstrate with the Emperor or in a life-and-death battle. This old General has been fighting for more than 40 years on the battlefield, and he almost died because of a quarrel with the Monarch.

The plot in the original book probably went like this: the old General came over and scolded the young Monarch. 'Why are you faint, the treasure has been wasted by you, and you still want to sing and dance everyday, eat, drink and have fun. You're going to destroy the country! Why are you such a disappointment? I'll take care of your stupidity in regards of your father, the late Emperor'.

The old General cursed a few words, and the young Monarch was tolerant because of his identity.

But the old General had a violent temper, he scolded the young Monarch for half an hour, and because the Monarch was in a hurry, he sent the General to prison. Sent the highly respected old General to prison!!!

Now, the Imperial Court was in chaos and there was turbulence for a while. Anyway, the young Monarch wasn't mentally damaged. He calmed down and admitted his wrongdoing letting the old General go. Then, he left that matter behind his head, feasting every day, keeping his promiscuous and absurd life like nothing happened.

The old General was really angry, damn it all, I don't care anymore! He walked away and then resigned from office, went back home on the countryside to farm and feed fish.

In this way, the Northern Kingdom lost an old General who was able to stabilize the army and had a high level of military skills.

When Xiao Yu'an saw this paragraph, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There's no other reason for this other than seek for the country's destruction!!!
