When Xiao Jiayuan and Gu Heng went out and there was no one else in the royal study, the emperor looked at the imperial guards to lead them.

"You are all the pillars of the imperial court who were promoted by me personally. Now, whether you are being used by others or not, you are treating people's lives indiscriminately and using torture at will. It is in vain that I value you. It really chills me."

Except for the young minister of Dali Temple who fainted on the ground, the rest of them bowed their heads to accept the crime.

The emperor glanced at Yu Yan, and then said: "You tortured Medical Officer Gu and forced him to surrender. You should accuse Medical Officer Gu."

The Minister of Punishment was the first to understand what the emperor meant, and immediately said: "I am willing to spend all my money to compensate Medical Officer Gu for his medical expenses of one hundred thousand taels."

The commander of the forbidden army also understood, "I should also pay one hundred thousand taels of medical expenses to make up for the medical officer Gu."

As soon as they said this, Mr. Hao, the cabinet minister, immediately followed suit.

Mr. Xu blushed, knelt there, and held it in for a long time, "I have spent all my money on selling iron, but I can't even get a hundred thousand taels. I can't even get out ten thousand taels..."

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and took off his black gauze hat.

He was also a cabinet official, and he would rather resign and plead guilty than pay one hundred thousand taels. However, Master Hao directly said that he was willing to pay one hundred thousand taels without any burden. Master Xu took off his hat, and Master Hao was so anxious that he almost vomited blood and said quickly

: "If I can raise this money, it's also..."

The emperor sneered and looked at the kneeling courtiers below, "You are all richer than me! Gu Shoucheng can spend 110,000 taels just to buy a dress and three pairs of shoes. Now, each of my courtiers,

Just take out the hundred thousand taels."

The commander of the imperial army felt extremely regretful. If it was normal, he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake. But just now when the Minister of Punishment took the lead in saying it, he was confused at the time, and then he said it.

Now I want to take it back but I can't take it back.

I could only kneel there fearfully and listen to the emperor's remarks.

"Each person will be fined three years' salary, and one hundred thousand taels will be paid to Medical Officer Gu as compensation. In addition, one hundred thousand taels per person will be used as military supplies."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Mr. Xu immediately kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I really have no money."

The emperor glanced at him and said, "Are you still an upright official?"

He snorted coldly, said nothing else, and turned to look at the Minister of Justice, "If you can't find out the cause of the explosion within three days, don't wear this black gauze hat."

The Minister of Punishment immediately kowtowed and apologized.

Since the thief was arranged by An Pingbo, there is no need to catch the thief.

The emperor glanced at Yu Yan, paused, and said: "I know you feel aggrieved and angry, but they were also instigated by others. I have punished those who deserved punishment, so you should stop it. You rushed into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and beat the court officials.

If you think about it seriously, I will punish you too!"

Yu Yan knelt there, "You can forget this, but Uncle An Ping, I will never forget it."

Yu Yan's attitude was cold and hard, and he did not give the emperor any dignity.

The emperor Rang's temples were beating with anger. Upon seeing this, the Minister of Punishment and the others who were kneeling on the ground kowtowed and left immediately.

When only Yu Yan and the emperor were left in the study, the emperor said coldly: "What do you mean you don't know how to forget it?"

Yu Yan said expressionlessly: "Uncle An Ping has repeatedly harmed Gu Luo. No matter what his reasons are, he has seriously affected Yu Huan's treatment. I can't just let it go."

"What do you want?"

"An Pingbo will be dismissed from his position and will be investigated and punished according to how he should be punished!"

"Dismissal of positions and investigation? That is the queen's natal family. Do you want me to investigate and investigate the empress's natal family?" The emperor gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Yan.

Yu Yan did not give in, "I don't know whose natal family that is, I only know that he deserves death."

"Are you forcing me?" The emperor slapped the table.

Yu Yan said: "Your Majesty has no choice but to understand me in this way. But if Your Majesty doesn't deal with it, I still say that I will deal with it myself."

"How dare you!" The emperor raised his hand and pointed directly at Yu Yan.

Yu Yan looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, let's see if I dare! Why don't I dare? I don't want to live, how can I still be afraid of death? The worst case is that I will destroy the whole family of the Anping Mansion and then commit suicide out of fear of crime! Why don't I dare?

!Is Your Majesty afraid that I will not die? If it weren’t for Yu Huan, I would have died long ago. What are you doing alive? Are you looking at other people’s fathers’ kindness and sons’ filial piety!”

Yu Yan stared at the emperor with red eyes. The anger bursting out of his eyes made the emperor open his mouth, but in the end he just sighed, "You blame me?"

Yu Yan said: "So what if I'm not weird or not! Can anything be changed?"

The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not good enough to you? What did you want but I didn't give you? Who among the princes can compare with you!"

"If your Majesty is really good to me, then you will investigate Uncle An Ping."

...

Gu Luo woke up from the pain. Her whole body ached, itched, and burned. The feeling of scratching her heart and lungs almost made her wake up from her sleep.

The sunshine outside filtered through the large window. Gu Luo blinked and recognized that this was Gu Heng's house. It was daytime now.

She still remembered how she ran out of the prison after the explosion, how she was so weak that she couldn't support herself and collapsed, and how she was wrapped up in clothes by Yu Yan who suddenly came for her, but after being wrapped, she just

Nothing is known anymore.

It seemed that after Yu Yan appeared, her originally clear consciousness became completely blurred as her nerves relaxed.

With his throat burning with dryness, Gu Luo wanted to get out of bed and pour a glass of water. Just as he was about to move, he turned his head and suddenly saw someone next to him.

Gu Luo's eyes widened instantly.

Breathing heavily, he stared at the person in front of him.

Yu Yan moved a chair and sat next to her bed. He leaned back in the chair, with the ankle of one leg on the thigh of the other leg, his elbow on the armrest, his forehead on his fingers, and his eyes looking at her.

.

Gu Luo:......

Depend on!

What is going on?

Gu Luo felt like he was hallucinating.

Gu Luo's rapid breathing gradually eased as he confirmed that this person was Yu Yan. Gu Luo closed his eyes and opened them again. Yu Yan was still sitting there in the same position, looking at her.

When their eyes met, Yu Yan's posture and expression didn't change at all, he just stared at her.

This is......

Fell asleep?

Sleep with eyes open?

Gu Luo looked at Yu Yan in confusion and called out, "Little prince?"

"Huh?" Yu Yan responded, his voice a little hoarse.

Gu Luo thought to herself, "You're not asleep."

Yu Yan immediately rolled his eyes, "You sleep with your eyes open?"

Gu Luo:......

"You're not asleep, you...what are you doing?"

Yu Yan's posture remained unchanged, still staring at Gu Luo, and then answered very confidently and let nature take its course, "I'm looking at you."

Gu Luo:......

Is she actually still dreaming?

Which direction is this going?

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Now Yu Yan moved.

He took his leg off the other leg, spread his legs apart, put one elbow on his leg, leaned forward, and reached out to touch Gu Luo's forehead.

No more burning.
