hehe.

Li Yuebai gave him a thousand middle fingers in his heart.

Also travels through various different worlds.

I would be killed in this world because of being misunderstood as cuckolding the emperor!

"The plot progress can be changed." The system issued a friendly reminder.

"Where is my cheat?" Li Yuebai asked.

"The system gives you a death countdown as a gift." The system's voice was still so kind.

Then a red countdown appeared in the lower right corner of Li Yuebai's vision, with the words "Seven Days" written on it.

Li Yuebai pulled the reins expressionlessly, intending to turn the horse around and return to Ningzhou.

The system issued a sharp warning.

"Warning! Any attempt to escape from the situation may result in life-threatening consequences!"

Li Yuebai's movements immediately stopped involuntarily.

The handsome man heard the unusual sound of horse hooves behind him and immediately turned around to ask with concern: "Mr. Yun, are you tired?"

As soon as his face came into view, relevant information appeared immediately, not a lot of words.

Murong Nan's personal bodyguard, Guan Tie. He is highly skilled in martial arts, loyal, and reliable.

"Thank you, Brother Guan. I'm not tired." Li Yuebai forced a smile, looked up at the sky, and said, "We have been traveling all night. Now the gate of Shangjing is just around the corner. How can I rest?"

It's a crime to stick your head out or to shrink it, so it's better to seize the time. Maybe you can help the unlucky prince come back to life earlier.

After running all night, it was now dawn and the city gates were not open. The guard raised the token and the guard opened the gate immediately. Li Yuebai rode his horse and followed closely behind him while sorting out the plot in his mind. Now the whole article was in his mind, but the words were very messy and he needed to sort it out slowly to make sense of it.

Empress Xiao Wenyin of the Duan Dynasty was born into a prominent and wealthy family, the Xiao family. She was a typical lady from a noble family. She received a good education since childhood and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was especially good at appreciating music and writing poetry.

It was precisely because she was good at appreciating music that she and Yun Weizhi got along so well.

It was because she was good at writing poetry that she unknowingly embedded Yun Weizhi's name into her new poem.

Yun Weizhi finished playing the song, Murong Nan's condition improved, and the queen's mood changed from sadness to joy. She couldn't help but pick up the pen she hadn't used for many days and wrote a poem. The poem is called "Recalling the Past", and the whole poem has four lines: There are only Zhao Jiazhuang in the palace, and the rain and the clouds misled the King of Han. Only the moon knows the truth, and it once glimpsed Feiyan entering Zhaoyang.

Cloud, only, know.

All three words are included in it.

Therefore, the villain has a firm grasp on the evidence.

Li Yuebai rubbed his temples vigorously.

Fortunately, there are still seven days. If there is only one more day, it will be too late even if I have the power of a god.

According to the original plot, Guan Tie and Yun Weizhi rode into the city in the night, and immediately rushed to the palace, to Yuanheng Palace where the empress lived, to play music for Murong Nan. According to custom, the prince should have lived in his own palace, but because Murong Nan was seriously ill, he was allowed to move to Yuanheng Palace to be cared for by his mother.

Now it seems that the plan has to be changed.

"Brother Guan, I have a favor to ask of you." Li Yuebai thought for a moment and called Guan Tie: "Could you please go ahead and tell the Empress to leave for the time being?"

"Avoid?" Guan Tie was totally confused. How could the host be asked to avoid the guests when they came? Moreover, she was the empress of noble status. Yun Weizi was usually gentle and elegant, so why did she suddenly become so out of line?

"Yes, I am here to see the Crown Prince, not the Queen."

"Why?" Guan Tienong frowned, full of confusion: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the Queen's biological son. How could the Queen be willing to abandon her own son when the situation is so critical?"

"Brother, you don't know that I have lived in the mountains for a long time and have developed a strange temper." Li Yuebai said, "I have never been afraid of kings, princes, generals, gods, ghosts, or monsters in my life, but I am afraid of women."

"Afraid of women?" Guan Tie was surprised and thought it was unbelievable. How could there be such a quirk in this world? But seeing Yun Weizhi's calm expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"Excuse me." Li Yuebai laughed at himself and shook his head. "Whenever a woman is present, my hands will tremble and I will sweat profusely. I will never play the zither. The Queen is of noble status and her majesty far exceeds that of an ordinary woman. I'm afraid she will be even more..."

"..." Guan Tie was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

He was only thinking about saving his master, and didn't need to care about the Queen's feelings. What's more, Mr. Yun was the only one who could save His Highness now. No matter how strange the request was, Her Majesty would definitely agree to it.

"One more thing!" Li Yuebai came over and whispered a few more words into Guan Tie's ear, and finally reminded him: "Remember!"

Guan Tie nodded in agreement, whipped the horse's buttocks, and rode away in a cloud of dust. The remaining guards protected Li Yuebai and moved forward at the same speed.

Li Yuebai couldn't help but sigh. This ancient means of transportation was too uncomfortable. The ups and downs almost broke his bones, and his butt was rubbed very painfully, not to mention that his hands had blisters from rubbing. In the TV dramas he watched before, the heroes riding horses were particularly majestic, but now...

When they arrived at the Empress' Yuanheng Palace, they dismounted and walked. The numerous checkpoints were no problem for high-ranking officials like them. They were just subjected to a thorough body search, and there was also a group of eunuchs surrounding them at all times, in the name of protection but in reality for surveillance.

As soon as he entered the prince's bedroom, Li Yuebai saw a familiar figure, dressed in black, surrounded by people, looking very majestic.

Damn, dog emperor!

A few lines of the original description immediately jumped to my mind: All his nails were pulled out, the fingertips were bloody and the finger bones were broken. No one could tell what kind of music such a hand could have played. Blood flowed out, gathering into a sticky river on the carved jade floor.

...There are still several paragraphs to go, but Li Yuebai no longer wants to read on. He just feels numb all over and cold sweat on his back. If his martial arts value was not zero, he would have considered rushing up to fight the emperor to the death.

However, why is the emperor here at this time?

Li Yuebai had a blank expression on his face. He saluted mechanically, feeling secretly puzzled.

In the original text, the emperor did not show up at this time. He met the empress and the unconscious prince alone.

"Your Majesty just went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and happened to run into the Empress. Your Majesty heard that Mr. Yun was here, so he hurried over to comfort her..." The old eunuch beside the emperor explained with a smile.

After all, they are biological father and son. No matter how incompatible they are, they will still be present to supervise in person when encountering such things. In the original work, the mother was present, so the father did not need to come. Now that the mother is not here, the father is here, which makes sense.

"I heard that you possess unique skills and your music can bring the dead back to life?" the emperor asked.

"I am a humble commoner and do not have the skills of a miracle doctor." Li Yuebai replied, "But Your Highness the Crown Prince understands music and can appreciate the music. If he hears something pleasing to the ear, I don't know if your body will recover."

As an excellent Chinese teacher, no matter how nervous or irritated you are, you have to use nice words, even if they are a bit sarcastic, but at least you can get away with it.

The guards helped carry the zheng in and placed it on the table.

Li Yuebai was stunned for a moment when he looked at the high-end thing.

He was not a student with a musical talent. At most, he could play the vertical flute and the electronic keyboard, and his tune was limited to Two Tigers.

How...how to shoot? Shoot two tigers?

You need to stay calm at this time. In short, calm down and find the time machine first...

"Stupid guy." The system snorted disdainfully: "Just bounce it, the original owner's memory will protect you."

Why do you, a worthless system, have such a special tone when you look down on me?

Li Yuebai knelt in front of the desk as he usually does when sitting in front of the computer, then stretched out his hand and pressed the keys as he usually does.

The system was not deceiving me. The original owner's memory took effect when he pressed the strings of the zither.

The sound of ancient, distant and light music came out, and ten fingers flew up and down like white silk...

"Hiss!" Li Yuebai cried out in pain accidentally.

Normally, he was quite cultured when dealing with a bunch of naughty kids, but now that he had been tormented by the system for a while, he was in a bad mood. When he saw the dog emperor, he was in a bad mood. When he saw the death countdown, he was in a bad mood. Unconsciously, he lost control of his mouth and spoke.

The most important reason is that my hands really hurt.

I don’t know how Yun Weizhi in the original work did it, playing the zither with bloody hands, seeking death.

When the emperor heard him say this, he couldn't help but frown.

The one on the bed had a bigger reaction.

"Yun...Brother Yun?" The seventeen-year-old boy lying on the bed had his eyes tightly closed but shouted out.

Li Yuebai was delighted when he heard this. He quickly stood up, ran to the bed in two steps, and knelt on the ground: "Yes, it's your brother."

If you can wake people up by talking, why bother playing the zither?

Only then did he see Murong Nan's appearance clearly.

I have seen many handsome men and beautiful women in my previous life. When I came to the harem of this world, I also saw many maids who were as beautiful as fairies along the way. But if you carefully evaluate the appearance, no one can compare to this Crown Prince.

Li Yuebai finally understood what the phrase "evil, charming and arrogant" often said on the Internet meant. Isn't the appearance of the Crown Prince a living example of evil, charming and arrogant? Danfeng eyes, long slanted eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a dark birthmark between the left eyebrow. Not only did it not ruin the beauty of the whole face, but it made him look even more gloomy and evil... After all, he was only seventeen years old and still a little childish. If he was twenty-seven or thirty-seven years old, he would be the standard form of a villain boss!

But now, this young version of the devil was holding his wrist tightly.

Even Li Yuebai himself did not see the whole process clearly - he just lay on the bed and said a few words, but Murong Nan, without even opening his eyes, suddenly made a move and grabbed his wrist with lightning speed.

Li Yuebai struggled for a while but failed to get away. He turned around and glanced at the emperor, feeling that the situation was very awkward.

Murong Nan's grip was so strong that it was like an iron hoop, which affected his blood circulation. And the child must have dreamed of something terrible while unconscious, his brows were furrowed and his face was full of anger.

"Don't go." Murong Nan spoke again, this time in a commanding tone.

"Your Highness, please don't be impulsive. Be careful of your body. Please loosen your hands first. I am almost strangled to death by your Highness..." Li Yuebai negotiated in a hurry.

"You are not allowed to die either..." Murong Nan said this and then had no further response.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the prince has spoken!" Eunuch An cried with joy: "This old servant congratulates Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty."

"Call the imperial physician." The emperor gave the order with his brows still furrowed.

The imperial physician came forward with a medicine box, felt the prince's pulse, and, as expected, kowtowed and congratulated him: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The prince's pulse is stable and has improved greatly!"

So, a group of young eunuchs started to work with all kinds of soups and medicines. Before, the Crown Prince was too unconscious and his teeth were clenched so tightly that he couldn't open them at all, and he couldn't even take a sip of water. But now, after hearing Li Yuebai's voice, he was able to drink the soup.

Li Yuebai couldn't help but secretly think about the banner of "The King of Bad Chats", feeling that he really deserved the title and lived up to the reputation.
