"Your Majesty, you know the grievances between the young master and the Northern Man Kingdom's royal family. How can you let the young master go back to the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den alone?"
The words "dragon pool and tiger's den" made Jun Lingyun quite satisfied, so he did not hesitate to answer Su He's questions.
"How can Mu Qier be alone when King Bei is traveling with him?"
"King of the North?"
Questions came one after another in Su He's head, making him a little dizzy.
Who is the Northern King?
These days, he has been watched closely by Jun Lingyun's secret guards. It is just better than being in jail, and he has no information.
This is not Jun Lingyun's instruction, it's just that the situation has changed.
So Jun Lingyun was really surprised that Su He didn't know that Bai Xiao had been granted the title of Northern King.
So, Su He didn't know that Bai Xiao and Mu Qier were already married?
Jun Lingyun then spoke clearly:
"The King of the North is my sworn brother, Mu Qi'er's husband, Bai Xiao!"
Su He seemed to have heard the first half of the sentence, but also seemed not to have heard it.
Only the half-sentence "Mu Qier's husband" exploded in Su He's mind, echoing over and over again.
He didn't care how Bai Xiao became Jun Lingyun's adopted brother, the Northern King of Yunxiao Kingdom.
He just wanted to know, how did Bai Xiao and the little master get married?
Although he never dared to dream that with his status, he could win the little master. But he never expected that the loss would come so quickly.
In the past few months, he seemed to be isolated from the world. The vicissitudes of the world had nothing to do with him.
Jun Lingyun saw that Su He was in a state of dullness and doubt about life, so he didn't rush him. Fortunately, he took the time to read a book.
The plague finally found a cure, and a major issue in Jun Lingyun's mind was solved. At this time, it was just right to relax and read a book.
Su He was speechless for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he saw Jun Lingyun reading a book by himself, not paying attention to his existence at all.
Su He was at war with himself and didn't know if he should go to his little master.
But he is just the shadow guard of the little master, right? As long as the little master can be happy, what does it matter to him?
Su He thought for a long time before asking:
"Your Majesty, why don't you let your subordinates go with you? Your subordinates should be more familiar with the Northern Barbarian Kingdom than the King of the North."
Jun Lingyun would not say that he had completely forgotten about Su He. However, he was still so angry that Su He would not pay for his life:
"Because I have discovered that my people are very capable, and we can go deep into the hinterland of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom without the participation of an outsider.
Why should I take the risk and use someone who is not loyal to me?"
Su He was speechless. He thought that his understanding of the Northern Barbarians would be of great use to Jun Lingyun.
Now that he was suddenly abandoned by Jun Lingyun, Su He didn't know what was going on, and suddenly felt a trace of loss.
It seemed like a kind of loss of being abandoned by his master? Before Su He could figure it out, Jun Lingyun had already kicked him out.
"I have already answered your questions. If nothing happens, just step back."
Su He, however, still stood there without moving.
"I beg the emperor to allow my subordinates to go to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom to assist my little master."
He thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and added:
"And Bai Xiao!"
Since he couldn't turn a blind eye to his little master's safety, he could only bury the feelings he shouldn't have deep in his heart.
Jun Lingyun looked at the book in his hand without raising his eyes.
"I have said that my plan does not require the participation of an outsider."
Su He's mind went back and forth a thousand times. He didn't know if the old illness of the young master had relapsed, and how was his health?
Have you ever been plotted against in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom?
Now that the young master is determined to take revenge, it is impossible to return to the Northern Barbarian royal family.
What's the use of holding on to that ridiculous sentiment of family and country?
Is it possible that he can still go against the little master in the future?
What's more, these days, he has been living with the secret guards of the Yunxiao Kingdom. Seeing them calling themselves brothers and caring for each other. They are not at all as cold-hearted as the Northern Barbarians, so he knows that Jun Lingyun is indeed a good master.
Rather than being put under house arrest in Yunxiao Kingdom's capital without any embarrassment, he might as well make up his mind!
Seeing that he was not moving, Jun Lingyun asked:
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Su He finally made up his mind, lifted his robe and knelt down, but his body remained straight.
"My subordinate Su He, from today onwards, is a member of the Yunxiao Kingdom. I am willing to swear allegiance to my emperor to the death."
He already understood that he must gain Jun Lingyun's trust before he could return to his little master.
Jun Lingyun finally put down the book in his hand and became a little more serious.
"How can I trust you?"
Su He raised three fingers and said firmly:
"If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning and you will not have a good death!"
Jun Lingyun remained unmoved.
"Are you still afraid of dying?"
Su He gritted his teeth. He had already put life and death aside, so naturally he was not afraid of a good death, but Jun Lingyun didn't have to be so straightforward, right?
"If you violate this oath, your subordinates will never see my little master for the rest of their lives! Is that all right? Your Majesty!"
Jun Lingyun looked at Su He's gritted teeth and continued to lower his head to read his book.
"Go ahead."
Let's go? Where to go? This time, the emperor agreed that he should go to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom to find the young master?
When Su He realized what he was doing, he was still gritting his teeth and quickly saluted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
This thank you was sincere. Su He stood up and hurriedly exited the imperial study room.
Jun Lingyun looked at the book in his hand, frowning in thought from time to time. He would also pick up a brush and write down a few nice and meaningful words on the paper.
Now that the plague has been resolved, he and Xi'er's children should naturally receive the honor that belongs to them.
Jun Lingyun had one on his left and one on his right. Before he knew it, it was almost early morning.
Eunuch Fu was so sleepy that he wanted to yawn. He couldn't help but glance at the book in Jun Lingyun's hand, "Book of Changes" and "Book of Songs"?
Eunuch Fu really couldn't understand that the emperor was enlightened at the age of three and already knew the Four Books and Five Classics by heart.
Why are you so interested today in reading these books, which are so simple to the emperor? You are still so interested that you can read them late into the night.
Eunuch Fu couldn't understand the deeper meaning, so he had to remind him as usual:
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time to rest. You have to take care of your dragon body."
Jun Lingyun waved his hand.
"You all, please step back."
Jun Lingyun always insisted on what he said, so Eunuch Fu couldn't persuade him any more, so he had to first ask the palace people to retreat and have a rest.
Jun Lingyun glanced at the book on his left hand and shook his head. He glanced at the book on his right hand and sighed.
An unknown amount of time passed like this, and when Jun Lingyun finally relaxed his brows, the sky was already dimly bright.
"Come here, I want to take a shower and change clothes."
The palace people who were on duty at night sighed in their hearts that their emperor was so diligent and worked hard for the country, but he had no sleep all night.
They quickly got busy and prepared hot water and clothes for Jun Lingyun.
After taking a hot bath, Jun Lingyun felt physically and mentally comfortable. After he changed his clothes, he looked at the sky outside. Why was it not bright yet?
