As soon as Gu Mingzheng said this, everyone's brains started to move.

Those who are optimistic about the show think, Lord Xie Xiaohou has been put on by His Majesty.

Conspiracy theorists think, His Majesty wants to keep Lord Xie Xiaohou in the palace as a hostage, right?Is this going to attack the Xie family?

Most people's thinking is - His Majesty really dotes on Xie Xiaohou Ye, he is allowed to live in the important palace.

Regardless of what the ministers thought, they were all smiling on the surface, not daring to have a word of dissatisfaction or controversy.

Only Xie Anlan was holding the sky lantern, and stood there bargaining with the young emperor, "Your Majesty, can I change the reward?"

"It's getting late, all the ministers are gone," Gu Mingzheng said to everyone first, then got up and walked down, waving at Xie Anlan, "Come here."

Xie Anlan took a few steps forward, but she frowned, looking unhappy.

"If you like lanterns, I'll ask someone to make a few more for you to play with." Gu Mingzheng took the sky lantern and threw it to the little eunuch next to him to keep it. "I don't know how much dust has fallen on it, so it's not too dirty."

Xie Anlan took a deep breath.

Gu Mingzheng took his hand and slowly wiped off the dust on his hands.

The movement is soft and warm.

Without the slightest intimacy.

Xie Anlan was taken aback, her anger dissipated, and she raised her clear eyes to look at him, fascinated bit by bit.

Xie Ruyuan came over after exchanging greetings with others, and what he saw was this scene, his expression suddenly twisted for a moment, then he deliberately pulled him away, and scolded: "Xie Anlan, come here! How many times have I taught you, as a minister, you must not be disrespectful to the king , where have you learned all the rules?"

"Don't worry about it." Xie Anlan turned cold.

"You!" Xie Ruyuan habitually found a stick everywhere to beat him.

"Thank you," Gu Mingzheng pushed Xie Ruyuan away irresistibly, and pulled Xie Anlan to his side, "Recently, Anlan will live in the palace, and I and the Queen Mother will take care of it for you. You can rest assured."

Xie Ruyuan clenched his hands by his side tightly, his veins were throbbing, he tried to maintain his calm face, "Your Majesty just joked, if you feel bored, you can call An Lan into the palace, but let him stay in the palace forever Li, I'm afraid it's against the rules."

Gu Mingzheng said in a low voice: "I say yes, so it is."

Xie Ruyuan raised his head suddenly and was startled.

The new emperor who was enthroned by this young boy has a majesty and aura that is not inferior to the previous emperor. Before...why didn't he notice it?

That's right, he is the late emperor's son after all, and he has the same domineering and arrogant nature as that person!

What about the emperor?Can the emperor do whatever he wants?

Thinking of the late emperor, Xie Ruyuan was filled with overwhelming resentment, and made up his mind that Xie Anlan would never be allowed to stay.

He lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down and cupped his hands, lowered his head to hide his stern eyes, and said word by word: "Please take it back, Your Majesty!"

"Xie Hou thinks that... I will be unfavorable to An Lan?"

Gu Mingzheng didn't take it seriously at first, but seeing Xie Ruyuan's stubborn behavior, suspicion arose in his heart.

Xie Ruyuan seemed to be overly worried.

Little Wings made a sound in a timely manner: "Special mission one, Xie Ruyuan's hatred. Decades of brotherhood, once disappeared, Qi Lin died of regret, Xie Hou had a plan in his mind, what kind of hatred should be focused on Jiangshan? , so that you go to hell forever? The task difficulty is five stars, and you will get five honor points after completing it."

Gu Mingzheng nodded unsurprisingly, there was indeed a problem.

On the other side, the female relatives bid farewell to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother walked over with the support of the maids, "Why is Xie Hou kneeling on the ground on this beautiful day? Get up quickly."

"Empress Dowager, please persuade Your Majesty that An Lan's living in the palace is against the law of etiquette!"

The queen mother was taken aback when she heard the words, and then she smiled and said, "It's the Ai family who felt lonely, so Your Majesty let An Lan stay. Xie Hou, please rest assured. Although An Lan is stubborn, she is sensible and nothing will happen. An Lan, hurry up Get your father up."

Hearing this, Xie Anlan walked over to help Xie Ruyuan up.

Xie Ruyuan grabbed his hand.

Xie Anlan glanced at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled casually, "Since I was a child, my father never cared about me. When I get into trouble, it's not too late for you to beat me with a stick."

Xie Ruyuan was speechless, every time he saw his son's face, he would think of his late wife and couldn't bear to see him.

He was absorbed in calculating the affairs of the world, but he neglected to discipline his son. When he wanted to teach him, he found that his son had stopped listening.

Monarchs, fathers and sons, the world is so ridiculous.

Xie Ruyuan suddenly felt sad, and after a while, he raised his hand to Gu Mingzheng and the Queen Mother and said, "This minister is worrying too much, so I will leave now."

The queen mother looked at his back and sighed softly, "Xie Hou, you haven't let go of what happened back then."

"Why did the queen mother say that?" Gu Mingzheng asked.

Xie Anlan also turned her head to look.

The queen mother shook her head and sighed: "Sixteen years ago, when you were still too young to remember anything, Mrs. Xie Hou fell ill for some reason, and finally threw herself into a well and died. Later... Xie Hou changed a little bit."

"I always thought my mother died of illness," Xie Anlan opened her eyes wide in surprise, and murmured, "Jumped into a well? Why did she jump into the well?"

"The Ai family doesn't know either." The Empress Dowager avoided talking, stroked her forehead, and looked tired.

Gu Mingzheng grabbed Xie Anlan who wanted to ask more questions, "Mother, you are tired, go back and rest first."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, explained a few more words, and went back with the support of the maids.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty let me ask you clearly?" Xie Anlan turned her head, her long black and messy hair was blown up by the night wind, covering her eyes that suddenly darkened like midnight.

"The queen mother doesn't want to say it, and no one can force her." Gu Mingzheng paused, brushed the black hair in front of his eyes, and simply pulled him forward, saying as he walked: "The timing is wrong, you can't ask the answer."

Xie Anlan was dragged away by him, and remained silent the entire time.

The night was long and intertwined with forest shadows, and the two walked side by side unknowingly.

Even if the rules in the palace are not strict, it is disrespectful to walk with the emperor without retreating.

The eunuch behind him wanted to speak out several times, but the words reached his throat and swallowed again.

Xie Anlan suddenly asked: "Why did Your Majesty keep me in the palace?"

This question is easy to answer, Gu Mingzheng said directly: "Because I want to watch you."

Xie Anlan choked on this sudden bluntness for a while, tilted her head slightly, covered her reddish ears with her long hair, and hummed softly, "But Your Majesty never asked me if I wanted to stay."

Gu Mingzheng let out an "um" and raised his hand to stroke his head.

Xie Anlan subconsciously turned her head. This movement was deeply familiar to her bones, and she always did it unconsciously.

Seeing this, Gu Mingzheng had a faint smile in his eyes.

The residence of the emperor of Dayue is in the Changming Palace. In the front is the Imperial Study Room, where government affairs are handled, and in the back is the Ningxin Palace, where he rests.

Because the former emperor was a military general, he didn't like fancy things, so the Changming Palace was built in a very simple and heavy way, which is not as exquisite and gorgeous as other palaces.

Xie Anlan walked from the Supreme Harmony Garden, feeling as if she had walked into a barren ancient temple from the fresh garden forest.

"Your Majesty," Ji An, the chief eunuch who had been dressing beside the emperor, took a step forward and bowed to ask for instructions, "Xie Xiaohou's residence..."

Gu Mingzheng arrived here for the first time, and he didn't know the layout of the palace, and seeing that it was getting late, he didn't want to bother, so he said, "Let's just stay in Ningxin Hall."

Anyway, a palace is very big, with so many rooms, there is no need to worry about having no place to live.

Ji An trembled all over, and lowered his head even lower.

The palaces of emperors have always been closed to people except for queens and concubines, but His Majesty let Lord Xie Xiaohou live here, could it be...

Thinking about Xie Xiaohou's magnificent appearance, Ji An felt that he had discovered a big secret!

No wonder His Majesty wants to thank the young master in the palace!

Be calm!Be calm!There was a huge wave in Ji An's heart, he took a deep breath, tried his best not to tremble, and said softly: "Yes, the slave will arrange it now. Thank you, young master, please."

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the master of this great dynasty.Whatever His Majesty wants, no one can refuse.

"An Lan, take a good rest, and just tell them if you need anything." Gu Mingzheng urged.

Xie Anlan nodded, and said goodbye to Gu Mingzheng, but she was quite speechless when walking on the road, just leading the way, why did Eunuch Ji tremble like this?

After walking for a while, Ji An stopped at the side hall and made a "please" gesture, "The bath has been prepared first, you can take a bath first."

Taking a bath before going to bed is a normal process, Xie Anlan didn't think much about it.

On the other side, Gu Mingzheng returned to the dormitory, waved away a bunch of eunuchs and maids, took a bath by himself, and sat on the desk to read the memorial.

Little Wing appeared, and threw out a "deep thinking" emoji, "Your Majesty, can I ask you a question?"

Gu Mingzheng didn't raise his head: "Say."

Little Wings played a piece of audio without any psychological burden-"There is a flower outside, I think it is beautiful when I see it, I am willing to spend some time to water it and shade it, but it does not mean that I want to pick it off. "

Gu Mingzheng paused, and raised his head coldly.

Little Wing took a deep breath, and changed into a "peaceful smile" emoji: "Is that what you said?"

Gu Mingzheng calmly said, "So?"

"So please don't slap yourself in the face, Your Majesty!" Little Wing was so angry, but he still kept smiling.

Gu Mingzheng changed his posture, but after a while he said calmly: "This is Gu Ruochu, not Xie Anlan."

If you have the ability, you will admit that they are one person in front of me now.

"..." Little Wing didn't expect to be able to play like this, he was dumbfounded, and cried "Wow".

If you want to slap your face and get tricked, this is probably the saddest thing in the world.

Gu Mingzheng flipped through the memorial and listened to it cry more calmly.

But the calm lasted only for a moment.

Because the door of the temple was pushed open, someone walked in.

Xie Anlan was wearing a white undershirt, with black hair hanging down his side, still dripping wet drops of water. When he saw Gu Mingzheng, he stopped in his footsteps, showing a look of surprise, and then turned his head to look at the locked palace. The door was opened, and then the whole person was blindfolded, with a bit of "murderous look" in his eyes, looking at Gu Mingzheng vigilantly.

Gu Mingzheng was also stunned, and after realizing it, he couldn't help putting his hand on his forehead, "That Ji An..."

stupid!goods!

The author has something to say: take a look at that god-assisted Eunuch Ji!

Fanfan: Can you follow the routine?

Mr. Gu: I won't take the blame.
