Dawn broke.

Gou Liang's fingers, which were filled with inner energy, slowly passed through the strands of hair. Once the hair was completely dry, Gou Liang, who had been moved from the man's embrace to the bed, quietly sank into the soft pillow. Finally, he was no longer woken up from his unconscious state and fell into a deep sleep.

The Emperor sat by the bed. He was not in a hurry to change his clothes and go to court. He lowered his body and focused on looking at Gou Liang's rosy face. His fingers lingered on Gou Liang's sleeping face.

Tong Gensheng walked into the hall with the conscientious imperial physician Zheng. He bowed and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."

The Emperor responded and carefully took out Gou Liang's left hand from the quilt, revealing a part of his wrist.

Imperial physician Zheng, who was kneeling in front of the bed, saw the bright yellow silk slip down from the white wrist. He was shocked and hurriedly lowered his head.

He respectfully checked Gou Liang's pulse, but soon his face changed. Large beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He confirmed again and again. This time, without Gou Liang's intentional guidance, he accurately felt Shuang 'er's pulse after his passion was satisfied. This was something that the remaining poison of the Hongchen Drunk could not do!

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu's pulse …"

Meeting the Emperor's gaze, imperial physician Zheng understood a shocking truth in a flash.

The Emperor said, "It's good that you know this."

Although the Emperor did not say what would happen if it was leaked, imperial physician Zheng was keenly aware that it was not only his head that was at stake, but also the lives of his entire family.

Imperial physician Zheng tightened his skin and said yes.

The Emperor looked at Gou Liang's sweet sleeping face. He raised the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice, "I was rash last night. There are some injuries. Are there any problems?"

Imperial Physician Zheng listened to his calm and even flaunting tone. He thought that this was the first time in twenty-seven years that His Majesty had entered the palace. As a man, he understood him very well. He asked with a serious face, "Is there bleeding?"

"No."

"Then there's no problem. I'll prescribe a medicine for Lord Chu to reduce swelling and nourish his body …"

At this moment, the sound of water dripping could be heard again. Tong Gensheng, who was kneeling below, braced himself and reminded, "Your Majesty, it's a quarter past five."

The morning court was about to begin, but His Majesty had yet to put on his crown and change his clothes. If this dragged on, he was afraid that he would miss the morning court session. The deep affection and sweetness at the bottom of the Emperor's eyes paused. Immediately he kissed Gou Liang's forehead. Standing up, he said, "Take a careful look at the prescription. Prepare a draft of everything and present it to me." After a pause, the Emperor added, "The more detailed, the better."

After that, he ordered Tong Gensheng not to disturb them and asked the leader of the Night Owls to stay behind.

The morning court session began at five o 'clock sharp.

When the courtiers who were full of fighting spirit were ready to fight back, they heard Eunuch Tong say in a long voice, "If there's something to report, I'll report it. If there's nothing to report, I'll dismiss the court."

The elders of the two dynasties: "…"

Ever since the late Emperor passed away, these words had not been heard for more than ten years.

They tensed their nerves and waited obediently with their tails between their legs. Unless there was an urgent matter, they all silently decided to go back and write memorials. They tried their best to be concise and summary. Only a few courtiers who were not experienced enough or were too insistent said a few things that were not urgent. As expected, the Emperor left behind a sentence for them to draft memorials and discuss them later. He then dismissed the court session at the fastest speed in the history of the Chenwu calendar.

Imperial Physician Zheng was still writing down the things to take note of when taking care of Yin Shuang in the middle hall. When he saw the Emperor return so quickly, he was shocked.

The Emperor did not make things difficult for him. He took the rose cream that had been secretly made by the palace and was about to return to the hall when Imperial Physician Zheng boldly asked him to stay.

"What's the matter?"

The Emperor looked at Imperial Physician Zheng's troubled expression and his heart tightened.

Imperial Physician Zheng looked around. Tong Gensheng hurriedly left with the palace servants who were serving in the middle hall.

Imperial Physician Zheng kneeled and said, "That day, I did not know Lord Chu's identity, so I did not mention it to Your Majesty. That Red Dust Drunk is not harmful to men, but if Shuang 'er took it, it would be a fatal poison. "

The Emperor's expression changed drastically. Imperial Physician Zheng hurriedly continued, "Lord Chu's medical skills are not below this old official's. He must have used a life-saving method at that time to survive until the time to take the antidote. It is because of this that I thought that everything that happened before was because Lord Chu overdosed. I made a mistake in my diagnosis. Your Majesty, please punish me! "

The Emperor did not have the leisure to punish him at this time. He said in a deep voice, "Then how is his body? Is there any harm from the poison?"

Imperial Physician Zheng said, "Your Majesty, do not worry. I have already carefully examined him. The remaining poison of the Red Dust Drunk has been cleared. There is no harm to Lord Chu's life, but …"

"Speak!"

"But, that Red Dust Drunk is a poison that penetrates Shuang 'er's intestines. When it was poisoned, it caused great damage to Lord Chu. I'm afraid that … it will be difficult for him to conceive."

He tried to be tactful.

The Emperor was startled. He clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "But his flower caltrops have not withered. The color is more beautiful than normal people."

Imperial Physician Zheng said, "Replying to the Emperor, I am not saying that Lord Chu cannot receive the dragon essence. But with Lord Chu's current physical condition, it will be difficult for him to keep the baby. Although the palace has a secret method to protect it, but — "

"Shut up!"

The Emperor snapped.

Who would dare to use the method of abandoning both the child and the child on Xiao Kener? I will kill them all!

Imperial Physician Zheng trembled, "This old official misspoke!"

Seeing that the Emperor was angry, but did not blame him, Imperial Physician Zheng let out a sigh of relief. He continued, "If he is carefully nursed for a few years, Lord Chu may be able to bear fruit. But this old official is not confident and does not dare to speak rashly. Lord Chu's medical skills are very high. He must be more clear about his body than this old official. But this old official sees that Lord Chu … did not tell Your Majesty. "

He did not say it in detail, but the Emperor already understood.

Gou Liang's body still had the ability to conceive, but even with Imperial Physician Zheng's medical skills, he was not confident. Even if he had a way to keep the baby, it must be very harmful to himself.

And Shuang 'er was the easiest to conceive when she was in the heat of passion, especially those with bright colors. Perhaps last night, he had already accumulated the dragon's breath …

Thinking of this, the Emperor's face turned ashen.

He was not moved by Gou Liang's sacrifice and concealment at all. Instead, because it was just a speculation, he hated the thing that would harm Gou Liang's health and even take his life.

The Emperor said, "Quickly go and get the medicine. Remember, it must not harm his body."

Imperial Physician Zheng understood what medicine to get, but there were some things that he still had to say, "Your Majesty, every medicine is 30% poisonous. This medicine will not harm the body once or twice, but it is still not good to use it too much …"

His original intention was to remind the Emperor not to bestow the dragon children and grandchildren when they had sex. He did not expect the Emperor to have another decision, "I know that the Imperial Physician Hospital has a secret medicine. Go and get it for me now."

Imperial Physician Zheng did not understand the meaning, but when he saw the Emperor's cold expression, he suddenly understood.

The Emperor wanted to use an extinct medicine!

He was so shocked that he lost his voice, "You must not! Your Majesty, you … "

Being stared at coldly by the Emperor, Imperial Physician Zheng's voice froze. He lowered his voice and said with great fear, "Your Majesty, please reconsider! If the medicine is in the stomach, it cannot be cured. The country cannot be without an heir. Your Majesty is in the prime of your life, how can you … "

The Emperor did not care at all, "If there was no him in this life, I would not touch anyone else. That thing, if he did not give birth to it for me, why would I want it? "

He originally did not have any thoughts about having an heir. He only had a glimmer of hope when he imagined Gou Liang bearing a child for him.

If it was harmful to Gou Liang, then there was no question of what to do.

"But Your Majesty …"

"No need to say more." The Emperor interrupted him and stood up, "This matter cannot be known to a third person. Before he wakes up, send the medicine over."

With Gou Liang's medical skills, if he was awake, he would not be able to hide the fact that he had given him the contraceptive soup or that he had taken the medicine.

Of course, what the Emperor did not know was that even if he was not awake, he would still know later.

Listening to the Emperor's decision without hesitation through the system, Gou Liang's heart was full of complicated feelings.

At the beginning, Meng Hao had wanted to have a small animal cub. In other words, he wanted to use this method to connect them more closely together.

Gou Liang was soft-hearted toward him. Although he could not accept it, if he had not been caught off guard and completed the task, he would have clenched his teeth and given birth.

When he came to this world, he had not considered this problem. However, his body's condition was indeed as Imperial Physician Zheng had said. It was difficult to protect the fetus, and it was very likely that it would result in two deaths. Of course, this was not a problem for Gou Liang. However, he still had the idea of muddling through and did not take any active measures to improve his body.

He did not expect Imperial Physician Zheng to bring it up, and the Emperor had already made the decision for him.

To be honest, although he did not have the heart to do so, Gou Liang's heart was more relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Moreover, the Emperor was already unhappy with the existence of Fatty Tang who distracted his attention. If he really had a small steamed bun, how terrible would it be?

Taking a step back, if the Emperor loved the child because of the house, Gou Liang would not be able to tolerate it. If they really wanted to compare, Gou Liang's jealousy would only be greater than his target's!

Now, he had finally solved this difficult problem in life. Gou Liang comfortably snuggled into the quilt, but he heard a low laugh coming from afar, "Not pretending to be asleep anymore?"

From the moment Gou Liang's breathing changed, the Emperor knew that he had woken up. However, the Emperor, who knew that he was lazy in bed and was "shy", indulged him.

Gou Liang sat up with a red face. His eyes were a bit erratic, and he did not dare to look directly at him. The smile in the Emperor's eyes deepened. He pulled him into his embrace and kissed between his eyebrows. In a soft voice, he said, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Gou Liang revealed a sweet dimple on his left cheek. He hugged his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."

The Emperor hurriedly ordered the meal to be served and clumsily helped him change his clothes. He did not allow Gou Liang to do it himself.

Gou Liang pulled at the bright yellow sleeves and collar embroidered with the five claws and nine dragons. He said somewhat nervously, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

The Emperor picked him up and patted his fleshy butt. It was as if he was holding a giant infant as he helped him put on his underwear. It was as if he was not tired of it. He did not care about Gou Liang's worries. "You are my husband. Like me, you are the ruler of the world. Why can't you wear it?"

Gou Liang's face and ears were red. He stammered for a while, but in the end, he could not bear to refuse.

However, the Emperor was afraid that Gou Liang would be attacked and destroyed, so he stopped before going too far. He still wore Gou Liang's fifth-level green Hanlin robe.

Ever since that time in the library pavilion … cough, after discovering that the official robe was not resistant to tearing, the Emperor had people rush out many sets of Gou Liang's official robes to be kept in Zhengyang Palace as backup. After he finished changing his clothes, Gou Liang heard Tong Gensheng report from outside the hall that the meal had been prepared. He righteously refused the Emperor, who felt sorry for him and wanted to take a ride for him because he was tired last night. With a straight face that was flushed red from being moistened, he straightened his clothes and walked out with a tall and straight posture.

However, the position of his legs was a bit awkward. It was as if he wanted to clamp something tightly.

Gou Liang's face was tense, but his ears were red.

The Emperor took his hand and slowed down his pace. In a low voice, he said, "There is no need to be restrained in Zhengyang Palace."

He did not dare to say that other places were absolutely safe, but the Emperor's own bedroom was naturally impenetrable. Otherwise, the Emperor, who had lit the lantern in the main hall for the entire night, passed the water four times, and led the army to the city for the first time, would have fought fiercely until dawn. There was no way that no news would have leaked out.

Although he said that, seeing how Gou Liang could not let go of his hands and feet in front of outsiders and how his small face maintained his usual "dignified" appearance, even if the Emperor liked him very much, he could not bear for him to suffer for no reason.

After sending away a group of palace servants, even Tong Gensheng was not left behind, the Emperor got his wish and hugged him in his arms. Seeing him eat happily, the Emperor felt his heart fill.

Afterwards, the highly regarded Gou Hanlin was ordered by the Emperor to study for four nights in the "Hanlin Academy".

When the passion was over, the heartless Gou Liang refused the Emperor's pleas to stay and left the palace.

He had no choice but to leave. The Emperor had been busy with state affairs during the day and at night, so he had less than two hours of sleep. Gou Liang understood the wild nature of a hungry tiger, but as the ruler of a country, he had a lot of work to do. Although he was still lively in bed, it was not good for his health. Imperial Physician Zheng also dutifully came to check his pulse the next day. Gou Liang could not smuggle medicine into the system to nourish his body, so he could only leave.

Because he did not rest at all to "study", the Emperor took pity on him and allowed him to rest for a day.

Madam Chu was also quite worried.

The Emperor's orders could not be disobeyed, but these few days were special. She was also afraid that Gou Liang would hurt his body. When she saw him return, she ordered the kitchen to make a tonic soup. After counting the hours and seeing that he had rested enough, she personally brought the soup to the door.

Gou Liang looked at the thick black All Aspect Nourishment Soup, and his face wrinkled.

Madam Chu laughed and pointed at him with a rare warm smile. "You've been like this since you were young."

Gou Liang thought that when he was in the palace, the Emperor ordered the kitchen to make tonic soup for him three times a day. He almost dug out the dragon's liver and dug out the phoenix's gallbladder for him. If he did not use the big gift bag to adjust his endocrine balance, his nosebleed would be considered light.

He forced himself to drink the medicine. Madam Chu was satisfied and began to chat with him.

It was nothing more than the Emperor had approved General Chu's request and Chu Qian should return to the capital in October. He felt a sense of crisis.

After expressing his worry and anger that Gou Liang's future would be like a cabbage compared to a pitiful life, he talked about another matter.

Since yesterday, the vassal kings had returned to the capital one after another. It was the busiest time for the patrolling camp in charge of the capital's security.

Although the late Emperor loved to seek immortality, he was also a dissolute person. Not counting his sons, there were a total of twelve princes. After the Emperor succeeded the throne, they were sent to their respective vassal states according to the orders of their ancestors. Except for Liang Gang who was already a commoner, the relationship between the remaining ten princes and the Emperor was very ordinary. None of them were content with their lot.

Madam Chu did not care about the vassal kings returning to the capital and what kind of secret lawsuit the royal family was fighting. He continued to talk about General Chu who had not returned home for two days. Because of the sharp contrast between his old self and the fresh and tender little goblin outside, he felt that his career was facing a great crisis.

It was not until the old servant came to report that the two young masters had something to ask him that he finally left impatiently.

That night, the big blind spot that did not follow the doctor's advice broke the record of the time it took to get from the palace to the Huguo General's residence.

But tonight he was very obedient. Gou Liang refused once, so he reluctantly stopped. At this time, he was lying on Gou Liang's lap, enjoying Gou Liang's head massage. He fell asleep after a few words.

He must be tired.

Gou Liang laughed and pinched his nose. His eyes were full of tenderness as he lowered his head and kissed him.

In order to rush back to the palace to change into the imperial robe and start the morning court, the Emperor woke up early the next day. As a result, Gou Liang, who complained last night that he should not be so tired, hugged him in a daze and did not let him go.

The Emperor smiled and did the same thing to him. He wrapped him in a quilt and stole the Xiao Kener from his heart back to the palace.

When Gou Liang got up from the dragon bed, it was already past seven in the morning. He was shocked and hurried to the Hanlin Academy to work.

Only when he arrived did he find out that His Majesty the Emperor had given him another day of rest. As a result, the conscientious Gou Hanlin won a lot of praise for his dedication. The old superior laughed and asked him, "Zigui, what book have you been immersed in these past few days?"

Gou Liang: If I said it was the Fire Avoidance Diagram, would you believe me? ? ▽?

He said seriously, "This book was ordered by His Majesty. Zigui does not dare to speak nonsense."

The old Hanlin, who loved books, stroked his beard and said, "No matter. In the future, I will ask for a reward from His Majesty. You have to hurry. This old man already has one foot in the coffin. Don't make this old man wait. "

Gou Liang: "… You are too serious. Zigui will do his best."

Turning around, His Majesty the Emperor threw him onto the dragon bed. "I heard that my beloved minister has requested to diligently write books with Zhen. Zhen agrees!"

Gou Hanlin: "No … Your Majesty, it is still daytime …"

Emperor: "No matter. It will set in the future."

And so.
