They all knew that Gu Xueting was capable of doing such a thing.

Once he learned the truth about the disappearance of Di Mingyue's body.

"Don't go, I promise you!" The emperor suddenly woke up from his dream, his chest heaving violently.

The chief eunuch who was serving him looked at him worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you in a nightmare? No matter how I called you, your Majesty didn't wake up. Your Majesty, please drink a glass of water and calm down."

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor drank the water and asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's 5 o'clock."

"Go down, I'll sleep a little longer."

However, when the emperor lay down again, he could not fall asleep no matter what, and Rong Xianer's words kept echoing in his mind.

Your Majesty, just wait for the Prince to pull you down from the dragon throne... Come down... Come on...

The tail note kept echoing, like a call from hell.

In just one night, the emperor's attitude towards Gu Xueting changed drastically.

Originally, he loved his ninth brother out of love for him, but now, he was filled with fear and dread. He knew in his heart that he had developed murderous intentions towards his ninth brother.

After two days of hesitation, the emperor finally made up his mind to slap himself in the face. At this time, news came from the north that a large number of monsters were constantly attacking Shanhaiguan, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses! Shanhaiguan was in danger!

Once the monsters break through the defenses, Tianyuan will be in danger! One wave has not yet subsided when another wave rises! The emperor anxiously turned around in the palace for a few times, and suddenly thought of a way, "Quick, summon the prince to the palace!"

It wasn't long before Gu Xueting arrived.

In fact, the eunuch who went to summon him met him as soon as he left the palace, because he had already received the news first and was about to discuss it with the emperor.

Prince Chen's Palace.

Shen Yizhi packed Gu Xueting's bag, including clothes, food, talismans, pills, spirit stones... She prepared everything he might need.

Qing Bao asked: "Mother, what are you doing?"

Yuan Bao guessed: "Is mother preparing a gift for father?"

Nian Nian raised her head from the fried chicken leg: "Is Uncle Gu going on a long trip?"

Shen Yizhi sighed, put down the clothes he was folding, and took the three little babies into his arms.

"That's right, your father is going on a long journey."

Qingbao: "Will Daddy take us with him?"

Yuanbao: "Where is Daddy going?"

Shen Yizhi brought the three children to Gu Xueting's study. In the middle of the study was a huge table, on which was a sand table modeled after the entire Tianyuan Empire.

She pointed to Shanhaiguan, the northern border, and said, "Do you see this long, tall wall? This is Shanhaiguan. Outside the pass is an endless snowfield called the Angry Snow Sea. There live hairy snowmen and countless dangerous monsters.

"Now that these monsters have nothing to eat, they want to break through Shanhaiguan and come to our place to eat people. Once Shanhaiguan is breached by them, I don't know how many people will suffer."

Qing Bao waved his little fist: "Beat them away!"

Shen Yizhi smiled, "That's right, we have to drive those monsters away. Your father has driven away many monsters before, and now he is going there again to drive those monsters back so that they dare not invade again."

"Daddy is so awesome!" Qing Bao exclaimed, instantly turning into Gu Xueting's little fanboy, "I want to go fight monsters with Daddy, too!"

Yuanbao and Nian Nian both raised their hands: "Me too!"

Shen Yizhi burst out laughing, "You are too young now. If you are not careful, you will be eaten by monsters. When you have learned the skills and become as powerful as your father, I will let you go, okay?"

The three little guys didn't know the trap in her words yet, and responded in unison.

When Gu Xueting returned from the palace, it was already evening.

Shen Yizhi didn't ask anything, he just went over to help him change into casual clothes, "Let's eat, Qingbao and the others have been complaining about being hungry."

Gu Xueting grabbed her fingers and kissed them.

At the dinner table, Qing Bao and the other two asked many questions about fighting monsters. Gu Xueting satisfied their curiosity and told them his experiences in Shanhaiguan in the form of a story.

The meal took unusually long.

After dinner, Gu Xueting took the two boys to take a bath and interact with each other as men.

Shen Yizhi took Nian Nian to enjoy a hot spring bath next door.

After taking a bath, the three little guys continued to pester Gu Xueting to tell stories. Shen Yizhi winked at him: The task of coaxing them to sleep is left to you.

She returned to her room, leaned on the bed, and flipped through a book.

Less than ten minutes later, Gu Xueting walked in.

Shen Yizhi was surprised: "You coaxed them to sleep so quickly?"

"Yeah." Gu Xueting took the book from her hand, leaned over and kissed her.

After a fierce embrace, Gu Xueting kissed the eyes of the person in his arms, "Zhizhi, I will be heading to the northern border tomorrow."

"Yes, I know."

"Go inside." Gu Xueting bit her earlobe.

This night before departure was spent exceptionally beautifully and warmly in the time field created by the super light.

The next morning, it was Qing Bao who came in and woke them up.

I don’t know what Gu Xueting said to Qing Bao and the others. When they were about to leave, the three little guys not only did not clamor to go with him, but also very sensibly reminded him to remember to take good care of himself.

Shen Yizhi stepped forward and hugged Gu Xueting. "You go first. When I have dealt with things here, I will bring Qing Bao and the others to find you."

Gu Xueting knew that she was not a dodder who needed to hide behind a man. She had the ability to fight alongside him, so he did not stop her. He stroked her cheek with his fingertips lingeringly: "Okay, you must tell me before you come."

No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to part eventually.

Gu Xueting took one last look at Shen Yizhi and the children, activated the Mountain and River Mirror, and his figure disappeared into the mirror.

Immediately, the mirror closed and disappeared as a speck of light.

On the other side, Gu Xueting stepped out of the mirror and appeared on the city wall inside Shanhaiguan.

In the palace, the emperor received the news that Gu Xueting had gone to the northern border. He sat quietly for a long time, and then sent a letter to Xiao Zhengyuan, the lord of the northern territory, asking him to find a chance to get rid of Gu Xueting.

Of course, that had to be after the beast tide was repelled.

As long as Gu Xueting was eliminated, then even if Rong Xian'er had something on him, what would it matter? Who else in the world could do anything to him?

Once Gu Xueting is eliminated, Rong Xianer's death will not be far away.

It's funny to say that Gu Xueting was so focused on dealing with Rong Xian'er and the Immortal Doctor Sect, but ended up becoming Rong Xian'er's last umbrella of protection.

Three days had passed. Rong Xian'er asked Zhao Fulan to disguise herself and go out to investigate. She learned that the Emperor's search warrant for the Immortal Doctor's disciples had not been revoked, and those captured disciples had not been released.

This result was a little beyond Rong Xian'er's expectations. Was the emperor really not afraid that she would tell Gu Xueting the truth? Or did he have some support and was sure that Gu Xueting would not dare to do anything to him?

However, the emperor's fear and dread of Gu Xueting that night was not pretended.
