My whole family eavesdropped on my thoughts, and I won money on the road to exile.

Chapter 38 Burned to the point of not losing a hair

cough cough...

Gu Tai was fished out of the water, soaked to the skin and in a state of embarrassment.

[King Yan, are you trying to murder me? 】

Gu Tai yelled at King Yan in his heart that there was nothing he couldn't do in the world, except swimming. Damn Yan Xixing, did he want to drown him under the emperor's nose?

But he can't, this is in the palace.

King Yan is the prince and he is a minister. If he wants to say that King Yan murdered him, he has to provide evidence.

"Disregarding the etiquette in front of the palace, disturbing the Queen Mother, and punishing the nine tribes!"

King Yan's lips raised in a mocking smile.

[This is not in front of the palace, this is outside the palace. It's not that I was discourteous, it was you who kicked my ass and kicked me into the water. 】

Gu Tai felt angry, but he could only walk a few steps forward with difficulty. He knelt in front of Empress Dowager Xuan and touched his head to the ground.

"I am guilty. I was only thinking about the errand assigned by the emperor. I forgot to look at my feet and stepped on the palace lantern by mistake. I am guilty."

He had to admit that what King Yan said was not entirely wrong.

He left the main hall and did not make a fool of himself in front of the emperor. But Queen Mother Xuan is here, and King Yan is here. After all, this is the palace.

Fires and falling into water are the most taboo things in the palace.

Today, he is in the same decline and has taken advantage of them all.

[Hahaha, so funny. It’s time for Gu Pervert to change his name to Gu Biandan]

Su Mi had sharp eyes. He was held in Song Jin's arms. Gu Tai knelt on the ground and looked down from above. She could really see it.

Gu Tai's fever was gone, and all his eyebrows and eyelashes were gone. Looking over, the whole head was illuminated by the dim light of the palace lantern, and he looked like a bright, naked, transformed egg!
  【Become an egg? What is that? 】

Song was startled by his niece's sudden scream of excitement today. He looked down and couldn't help but feel happy.

Lieutenant Gu is in a terrible situation.

His clothes were hung on his body like burnt tatters, his head was round and all his hair was gone.

But how could he laugh directly? Gu Bailian was a man who was determined to retaliate.

"Lieutenant Gu, do you know your guilt?"

A sharp voice sounded, and Gu Tai knew without looking up that it must be that old guy from Qianyin Pavilion.

He was the emperor's favorite minister and his younger brother. The emperor doted on him very much and used him for everything. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a sharp sword in the emperor's hand. For the sake of the emperor, he could no longer remember how much blood and darkness his sword had been soaked in.

As for Qianyin Pavilion, he is the emperor's personal attendant, in charge of the emperor's food, daily life, and the concubines in the harem. He is also the emperor's favorite person. Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was fond of this old guy Qianyin Pavilion.

How much power does Qianyin Pavilion have in this palace? Concubine Li once told him a secret about the harem. A concubine offended Qianyin Pavilion, and the emperor never looked back on her from then on. Finally, she was thrown into the cold palace and died miserably.

He and Qianyin Pavilion were in the same dynasty and in the harem, and they were both the most favored people around the emperor.

Logically, the two of them should be in harmony.

However, the two of them are mortal enemies.

"It is actually a natural disaster, not Wei Chen's intention. Wei Chen is guilty, and the Queen Mother forgives me."

Gu Taifei was about to explode with anger.

[Qianyin Pavilion, you are a bastard who is adding insult to injury. Wait someday, you will fall into my hands, hum--]

All the clothes on his body were burned to pieces, and the exposed skin of his hands and feet was not only dirty, but also had big blisters in some places. With him looking like this, it would be easy to say that he would go outside the imperial city at night to take over the prince's manor.

How can I go to court tomorrow morning?
  He had originally planned to escort him in person tomorrow morning.

[Qianyin Pavilion, what do you mean? Do you want me to pull you back and talk about this natural disaster? 】

"Hahaha--"

Several young eunuchs lit the lanterns and quickly disposed of the burnt palace lanterns on the ground.

The light shone brightly on Gu Tai. Qianyin Pavilion did not expect that Gu Tai would burn like this bear.

For a moment, I felt happy and said in a high voice,
  "Well, Lieutenant Gu, the emperor will definitely feel distressed when he sees it burned like this. Don't take it to your heart, Queen Mother. Today, Lieutenant Gu is putting on a show for you, Queen Mother, and teasing you all the time. It’s interesting.”

He looked like he was interceding for Gu Tai, but in his heart he said bitterly,
  [Uh-huh, Gu Tai, you have today too. Look at the whole person, it's burned into a black egg. 】

"What Eunuch Qian said is absolutely true. Quan Dangchen made a joke to the Queen Mother. Please don't take it seriously. If the Queen Mother is disturbed in the slightest, I will die for you."

Gu Taida opened his eyes and glared angrily at Eunuch Qian, but every word he spoke was in tune with Eunuch Qian.

It was so funny that Sumi chuckled.

She is a baby anyway, crying and laughing, isn't it normal?
  "It's too late. Let's all go back. The Ai family is also tired. Don't bother the emperor with such a trivial matter today."

Empress Dowager Xuan was shocked just now. What she was worried about was that the strong wind blew down several palace lanterns and burned one palace lantern. Gu Tai was fine. At this moment, the laughter of a little baby made the Queen Mother Xuan's frightened heart calm down.

"Get off and drive back to the palace!"

Everyone knelt to see him off, and Queen Mother Xuan and her party walked away.

Everyone got up,
  "Gu Taiwei, you have to resign tomorrow and won't go to court. Just take care of yourself at home for a few days. The Sa family will definitely put in a good word for you in front of the emperor. Get this matter over with as soon as possible."

There was something in Qianyinge's words, and Gu Tai's face turned even darker.

"There is a ghost doctor in my palace who has superb medical skills and specializes in weird things. If you need it, I will ignore the past grudges and let the ghost doctor treat you and see what can make your hair grow faster."

King Yan said calmly, these words were extremely insulting.

Gu Tai's face almost turned green with anger.

Under the strange looks of several people, he reached out and touched his face and head.

Smooth, smooth, without a hair!
  Even if it's Gu Tai, Zhao Yu's evil wolf has never seen anything. But on his end, he still scared himself.

"King Yan, it's all your fault. I want to go with you to see the emperor and ask him to seek justice for me."

When he thought about it, King Yan kicked him just now and almost drowned him. Now that it's like this again, Gu Tai feels that he has nowhere to vent his evil anger.

"You are a real person. The palace lantern was blown down by the night wind. You said that you are so big that you can't even see a palace lantern, so you stepped on it and started the fire. Speaking of which, the fire was you. You burned it yourself, and King Yan really wanted to put out the fire for you and save your life. It's better for you, but you blame others."

Qianyin Pavilion's voice was shaky, and Empress Dowager Xuan was gone at this moment. Among the group of people in front of him, no one could be taken seriously by Qianyin Pavilion. Therefore, now, he has no scruples in speaking.

Really, whatever words he hates, he just picks and says them. Every word tugged at Gu Tai's heart like a rope.

"What are you upset about? You don't even think about it. If King Yan hadn't kicked you into the water just now, it wouldn't matter if you were burned. If it splashes on the Queen Mother, even a small spark, can you afford it?"

When Qianyin Pavilion hummed like this, Gu Tai immediately became angry.

He had to admit,

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time. If it had burned someone else or splashed a spark on Empress Dowager Xuan...
