The ministers left one after another.
The third prince died so suddenly that his original supporters did not have time to withdraw, and the situation is now somewhat awkward.
There are only two paths before them: follow the Crown Prince or the Fifth Prince who has just made a strong appearance!
They had already taken a wrong step, so they were more cautious this time. Some old ministers even planned to retire and return home.
Gu Nianchen was not in a hurry to recruit them. He didn't need many, just those who were truly useful!
"Fifth brother, you have great skills! I admire you immensely!"
As Gu Nianchen walked out of the hall, the prince's voice came from behind him.
He stopped and turned around: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is too kind. I still need to learn more from my brother!"
"I'm afraid that you can't bear learning too much." The prince looked calm, and to outsiders, he looked like a picture of brotherly love and respect!
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. It is always good to have many skills. I can do it!"
The prince was testing him, and so was Gu Nianchen! He just wanted to make the prince feel a sense of crisis. For people like them who were walking on thin ice every day, applying pressure was the most effective way!
Let them panic and make mistakes so that you can reap the benefits!
"Fifth Prince, Fifth Prince, please walk slower!" A little eunuch came running over hurriedly from a distance!
"What's the matter, father-in-law?" Gu Nianchen stopped and asked!
"His Majesty summons the Fifth Prince to an audience!"
"Please lead the way, eunuch!" Gu Nianchen said, then turned to the prince: "Royal brother, goodbye!"
Looking at Gu Nianchen's back, the prince's usual good demeanor disappeared! He punched the stone block beside him, "The third prince is gone, and now the fifth prince is here. Father, you really played a good game!"
Gu Nianchen followed the eunuch to the emperor's bedroom. The eunuch asked Gu Nianchen to wait for a moment while he went in to report!
Soon the young eunuch came out trotting, "Fifth Prince, please come in!"
Gu Nianchen followed the young eunuch in.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
The emperor was sitting on the dragon couch with his eyes closed, resting, and did not say a word!
Gu Nianchen just stood aside and didn't say anything!
【This old guy is suspicious of you! 】
[I know, but he wants to thank me more. A chess piece that made a mistake had only one way to go, and that was to be killed. I helped him!]
Too complicated!
【fool】
【……】
After waiting for a long time, Gu Nianchen was getting a little impatient and wanted to just kill the emperor, but then he spoke!
"Chen'er, last night I dreamt of your mother. It's been so long since she left me. In my dream, she blamed me for not taking good care of you. Father has owed you a lot over the years, but thankfully you're smart and eager to learn. Now, your third brother... Sigh! You need to work harder to learn from the Crown Prince and share more of Father's worries. Do you understand?"
"I understand, and I will live up to your expectations, father!" Gu Nianchen replied.
"You and Luo Yu seem to get along very well?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Nianchen.
"I first met General Bai yesterday. General Bai's skills are unparalleled. I admire him immensely!"
"Well, everyone in the world admires the strong, and your body still needs training. Starting tomorrow, I will send you to the military camp for training! Learn more about how to command the army from General Bai! Okay?" The emperor was both happy and worried about Bai Luoyu.
As long as Bai Luoyu leads his troops to fight, there is nothing he cannot win. But it is precisely because of this that Bai Luoyu has such a high prestige in the army.
It is a taboo to be more successful than the emperor, but the emperor cannot give it up, which gives him a lot of headaches!
Yesterday's incident, however, made the emperor see something different. Bai Luoyu, who never approached the princes, seemed to have feelings for Gu Nianchen! Perhaps Gu Nianchen could try to restrain Bai Luoyu.
Gu Nianchen also understood what the emperor meant. Although he was being used, he was happy with it in his heart. How could he not be happy that he could be close to Luo Yu openly?
"Yes, your son obeys!" Gu Nianchen thanked him!
"Okay, it's great that you can understand my good intentions. Go away!" The emperor waved his hand, and the little eunuch stepped forward to lead Gu Nianchen out of the bedroom!
"Fifth Prince, take care!"
"Sir, please stay!"
Gu Nianchen couldn't wait to find Bai Luoyu. Just when he walked to an empty corner, he disappeared in a flash!
Bai Luoyu had just finished morning exercises and was preparing to go back to his room to take a shower and have breakfast.
As soon as he walked into the room, he noticed something strange. He flashed and struck out with his palm behind the door. The moment the palm wind was struck out.
Bai Luoyu felt a familiar breath, but it was too late to retract his palm.
"Are you so anxious to get a hug?" Gu Nianchen grabbed Bai Luoyu's palm and weakened it, then pulled Bai Luoyu into his arms!
The familiar smell, the slightly thin but solid and reliable embrace, and the whispers in his ears made Bai Luoyu's mouth dry for a moment!
"This is in the military camp, how disrespectful!" Although Bai Luoyu was reluctant, he still broke free from Gu Nianchen's arms.
"So that means you can just go home at night, right?" Gu Nianchen continued to ask relentlessly, looking at Bai Luoyu with burning eyes.
The latter felt as if that gaze penetrated his clothes and burned his skin!
"What nonsense are you talking about? What are you doing here?" Bai Luoyu didn't want to discuss these things in broad daylight, so he changed the subject!
"I came to see you!" Gu Nianchen poured himself a cup of tea and sat down on the chair.
"Talk nicely! I still have to train soldiers later and don't have time to argue with you!" Bai Luoyu frowned.
"Okay, I'll tell you, the emperor asked me to learn how to command an army from you!" Gu Nianchen raised his hands in surrender. He didn't like to see Bai Luoyu's stern face.
"The matter of the third prince is over just like that?" Although Bai Luoyu was invincible, he was still unfamiliar with the intrigues and deceptions in the royal officialdom.
So he didn't quite understand why such a big thing ended without any splash!
"Yes, this is the royal family. The mother and son will be here soon, right?" Gu Nianchen remembered what he had promised the third prince. Since he had no manpower now, it was naturally Bai Luoyu's people who took them away.
"Well, it should be almost done, don't worry." Bai Luoyu straightened his clothes and sat down!
Gu Nianchen stood up and moved to sit next to Bai Luoyu, then leaned on Bai Luoyu's shoulder!
"Oh, it would be bad if soldiers came in and saw us!" Bai Luoyu pushed Gu Nianchen's head, trying to make him sit down!
"I want the whole world to see it!" Gu Nianchen said seriously! Looking at Bai Luoyu's somewhat dazed eyes, he touched his cheek: "The throne and power are like floating clouds to me. Just because I want to give you a love that can be expressed in words, I must stand at the highest point! Don't think that just silently supporting me behind my back is enough, you must walk shoulder to shoulder with me!"
After listening to Gu Nianchen's domineering words, Bai Luoyu felt relieved. He understood her and had thought of everything. Why should she be timid?
