In the 608th year of the Chinese calendar, Beiyuehe was victorious, and General Zhenbei was granted the title of King of Zhenbei.
In the same year, his legitimate son Gu Xiliang entered the imperial city as a hostage. The wolf cubs born and raised in the border area showed their teeth and were fierce and violent. In order to tame the wild wolves, the imperial city sent a skilled animal trainer.
When they met for the first time, Gu Xiliang was caught for climbing out of the city wall and fighting with someone. Although he was beaten half to death, he still insisted on refusing to admit defeat. For this reason, he bit Pei Yongning who came to pick him up.
Pei Yongning promised him justice, but the price was to put shackles on Gu Xiliang.
After spending four years together day and night, Pei Yongning thought that Gu Xiliang was just like him.
However, Pei Yongning forgot the nature of the wolf. Even if Gu Xiliang temporarily put away his fangs, the wolf was still a wolf.
Gu Xiliang had already hooked up with the Prince of the East Palace in order to regain his freedom. Pei Yongning lost everything overnight and left Dongyun in embarrassment.
Four years later, there was a struggle in the court and Pei Yongning was forced to return.
In the dark night, Gu Xiliang clamped his waist, his bloodshot eyes filled with madness, "What are you doing back here?"
Pei Yongning, "Of course I want to be the emperor."
Gu Xiliang leaned down and pressed him firmly into his arms, "Now that you're back, don't leave."
Pei Yongning, "???"
Everyone in the Imperial City: Your Highness abandoned his wife and son.
Everyone in the Imperial City: The general refused the emperor's marriage offer for the sake of His Highness.
Everyone in the Imperial City: General, he has been waiting for you for four years, and the entire Imperial City is your and his talking book.
Pei Yongning, "Am I the only one who remembers that I was framed and fled to Dongyun?"
Friend: "We believe you. There must be a reason why you abandoned him back then. We understand."
Pei Yongning, "What do you understand? I never abandoned him."
Later, Pei Yongning ran away with the wild man, and Gu Xiliang recovered his missing memory in anger.
Pei Yongning felt that now he could sit back and relax and draw a clear line with him. Who knew that Gu Xiliang would be even more terrifying after he recovered his memory.
"I heard that you gave birth to our child and died before he was a month old? I want you to give me another baby."
