Chapter 212 One person goes
The glazed tiles sparkle with colorful light under the sunlight. Each glazed tile is like a memory of history, carrying the glory and vicissitudes of the Yu Kingdom court.
This is the residence of Emperor Mu Han of Yu Kingdom. The location of Nianyue Pavilion is very particular. It is located in the core area of the city, heavily guarded and surrounded by tree-lined gardens. It has both a quiet atmosphere and strict protection.
This reflects the ancient palace architectural layout's high regard for the safety and privacy of the emperor's residence, except that the words on the plaque seemed to be newly written.
Gu Wenbo and his companions hurried along the way. When they arrived at the foot of Nian Yue Pavilion, everyone unconsciously slowed down their pace, as if they were shocked by the majestic atmosphere emanating from the Nian Yue Pavilion.
Just when everyone was about to go in, a guard immediately stood up, his movements were clean and neat, and his eyes were determined.
Without hesitation, they stopped He Yue and the guards and said in a loud and serious voice, "Your Highness, please go in alone."
Gu Wenbo's footsteps stopped the moment the guard finished speaking. He seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and slowly turned around to look at He Yue.
That look seemed to be able to penetrate everything, interwoven with endless tenderness, worry, and a hint of imperceptible reluctance.
"Ayue, just wait for me outside."
His voice was low and mellow, and every word seemed to be uttered slowly from the deepest part of his heart, echoing in the air with unquestionable firmness, and it was like a small harbor for He Yue in the strange atmosphere of this palace.
Then, he shifted his gaze away from He Yue and looked quickly and seriously at the guards.
At this moment, Gu Wenbo naturally exuded an innate majesty, which was the leadership temperament possessed by the crown prince of the Dahan Kingdom.
He spoke in a serious tone, and instructed the guards word by word: "You must protect Ah Yue."
This short sentence contains tremendous power.
He Yue's face was full of worry. She stretched out her slender hands and held Gu Wenbo's hands tightly. Her hands trembled slightly, revealing her inner anxiety.
She looked at Gu Wenbo without blinking, her eyes full of concern and affection. She said softly, "Brother, you must be careful. I just want you to be fine."
These simple words seemed to carry all her emotions and expectations.
At this moment, a barely perceptible cunning glint flashed in He Yue's eyes.
When she held Gu Wenbo's hand, she seemed to accidentally give him a pill.
Judging from the complexity of the court struggle, this medicine is like the last amulet that He Yue prepared for Gu Wenbo in a crisis-ridden environment.
Then, He Yue seemed to be unable to suppress her inner worry and reluctance any longer, and hugged Gu Wenbo.
Her hug was tight, as if she wanted to merge Gu Wenbo into her body and protect him with her warmth and strength.
While hugging Gu Wenbo, she whispered in his ear, "Brother, this is a fake death drug. If they want to do anything to you, just take it. I'll find a way to deal with the rest."
Gu Wenbo has always been well aware of He Yue's abilities, which are definitely not possessed by ordinary women.
In the past days, whether she was dealing with trivial affairs in the palace or responding to some sudden crises, He Yue always showed amazing wisdom and courage.
Gu Wenbo had seen her skillfully resolve interpersonal disputes in the palace, and with just a few words, she could make both sides put aside their prejudices.
I have also witnessed her calmly analyzing the situation and finding a way out of it when faced with some small conspiracies and frame-ups.
So, after He Yue handed him the fake death drug and said those words, Gu Wenbo did not hesitate or doubt at all, but nodded with a smile full of trust on his face.
He looked into He Yue's eyes, his eyes full of determination and tenderness, and said in a soft and steady tone: "Don't worry, big brother will protect himself and won't let you worry."
This is not just a simple promise, but also his response to He Yue's deep friendship.
Gu Wenbo followed closely the slightly hunched eunuch in front of him and carefully stepped into the building called Nian Yue Pavilion.
As soon as you enter the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the extremely spacious hall on the first floor, which is astonishingly spacious.
The hall is decorated extremely luxuriously, with exquisitely carved beams and pillars, gorgeous carpets and dazzling lamps, which complement each other and demonstrate the noble status of the owner of this place.
They walked through the huge hall and headed straight towards the backyard.
Along the way, I saw the courtyards filled with green trees and colorful flowers, which was a breathtaking beauty.
A breeze blows by, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Walking along the bluestone path, you will soon arrive at a staircase.
Gu Wenbo climbed the stairs, taking every step with extreme caution.
After climbing the stairs, a long corridor appeared in front of me.
The corridor is lined with famous calligraphy and paintings as well as rare antiques, which seems to bring people into a palace of art.
He continued walking forward while admiring these precious collections.
Finally, after some twists and turns, the two arrived at the door of a room.
At this time, the eunuch who led the way stopped, stood still respectfully, then bowed deeply towards the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the prince of Dahan Kingdom has arrived!" The voice was crisp and loud, echoing in the silent air.
Not long after, a slight sound was heard, and the tightly closed door of the room was slowly pushed open from the inside.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and mighty figure appeared at the door.
The man was tall and strong, standing there like an iron tower, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
His face was stern and expressionless, but his eyes, as deep as a pool of water, revealed a barely perceptible sharp light.
At this moment, the man was calmly gazing at Gu Wenbo, who was standing outside the door, and he said, "Are you the Crown Prince of the Dahan Kingdom? I am General Weihu of the Hewangyu Kingdom, and I have come here on the orders of our Emperor to welcome the Crown Prince. Please follow me!"
After saying that, he turned slightly sideways and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Gu Wenbo should follow him in.
Gu Wenbo bowed and said, "Thank you, General He."
The two of them walked into the house quietly and found that it was spacious and bright, and decorated very elegantly.
They carefully walked around a huge and gorgeous screen, which was embroidered with exquisite patterns, as if a vivid painting was unfolding before their eyes.
Through the gap in the screen, the first thing that caught my eye was Mu Han's tall figure.
He was wearing a black robe, the sleeves of which fluttered gently in the wind, making his posture look as straight as a pine tree.
