Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

"It was too late, and the man was hiding in the dark, so I couldn't see his face clearly." Jiang Liangcai was a little embarrassed. Although he had a hunch that there was something wrong with this guy who hid his head and showed his tail, it was really difficult to find a chance to observe him carefully with the Second Prince watching him. He could only shake his head helplessly and said:

"I just remember that he was thin and about the same height as me..."

Such a general description was useless. After all, there were too many thin people of similar height to Jiang Liangcai. The one standing in front of him now was... his elder brother.

Xie Ze frowned and was about to ignore the matter for the time being, when Jiang Liangcai, who was racking his brains, suddenly seemed to have thought of something and quickly added: "Oh, his ears are a bit protruding, and his voice is a bit hoarse, as if he had caught a cold."

Xie Ze's face darkened. The protruding ears... this feature reminded him of an old acquaintance whom he didn't want to recall at all.

Jiang Xin obviously also thought of that person and subconsciously held his own prince's hand.

Jiang Liangcai had no idea what the two were thinking, and was still seriously recalling the scene at that time:

"But the relationship between the Second Prince and that gentleman doesn't seem to be very good. I can't really tell why. It seems that when that gentleman reminded the Second Prince, the Second Prince seemed to be somewhat angry with him."

Moreover, he had a feeling that if the Second Prince had not had a conflict with that gentleman, he would not have been released back to the palace so easily yesterday.

However, this was just his own guess and could not be relied upon, so he did not say it out loud, as if he was being wishful thinking.

"I understand." Xie Ze glanced at Jiang Liangcai. It was rare for him to like this flatterer. He said calmly, "Thanks for the reminder."

Originally, his main suspects were only the Fourth Prince and the Wei family, but the appearance of Jiang Liangcai provided him with a new idea.

The news about him and Ashin spread too quickly. Maybe someone wanted to use him to reap the benefits.

It was the first time that Jiang Liangcai received a thank you from Xie Ze. He was flattered and waved his hands quickly, saying, "Your Highness and Big Brother have been very kind to me. I should do this."

As he spoke, Jiang Liangcai took out the sachet his mother had given him, as well as the fine wood he had bought today, and said to Jiang Xin flatteringly, "Brother, this is what my mother asked me to give to you, and this is what I give to you, to congratulate you on your new home."

"Thank you." Jiang Xin was stunned and took it from Jiang Liangcai.

The stitching on the sachet is dense and the workmanship is exquisite, and you can tell at first glance that a lot of thought was put into it.

And this piece of wood is top-quality Huanghuali. Although it is only a small piece, Jiang Liang was able to notice that he likes wood carving and cater to his taste, which shows real thoughtfulness.

After completing his two tasks successfully, Jiang Liangcai tactfully prepared to leave: "As long as you like it, my mother is still waiting for me to return home, so I won't disturb you and His Highness."

As soon as Jiang Liang finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave when Xie Ze called him: "Wait a moment."

Jiang Liangcai was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"

This shouldn't be the case. In the past, when His Highness was with his elder brother, they wished that he, who disturbed their world, would disappear immediately. Why did he take the initiative to stop him today?

Before Jiang Liangcai could be confused for too long, Xie Ze suddenly said, "Don't you see that there is any difference between me and Ah Xin today?"

Jiang Xin: “…”

Jiang Liangcai: "..."? Aren't they just as clingy as before? What's the difference? Did they have a fight?

Seeing Jiang Liangcai so stupid and slow, Xie Ze glared at him with disdain, then slightly raised his hand that was shaking with Ah Xin, and said in a subtle and boastful tone: "Ah Xin and I are together, can't you see?"

After two lifetimes, he and Ashin finally confessed their feelings to each other, how could no one know?

Jiang Liangcai: “…”

Jiang Xin: "..." Suddenly, he had the urge to hold his forehead and throw away His Highness's hand...

"Well, of course I noticed!" So you two have just been together? Could it be that you two have been together for eight hundred years? !

Jiang Liangcai complained madly in his heart, and tried to force out a big smile, congratulating him sincerely:

"No wonder as soon as I came in, I felt that His Highness and Big Brother were quite different today than in the past. They seemed to be more radiant and in high spirits. It turned out that Big Brother and His Highness had finally achieved their goal!"

As he spoke, Jiang Liangcai's face became solemn, and he bowed his hands in a serious manner and said, "I sincerely wish my elder brother and His Highness, no, my brother-in-law, to live together till old age, be together forever, and never be separated."

He finally figured it out. Wasn't the virtuous king secretly showing his affection to him? What could he say? Of course, he could only bless him with tears in his eyes...

Xie Ze was finally satisfied with Jiang Liangcai's reaction and blessing. He nodded and gave him an appreciative look. Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back. Don't worry about the Second Prince. If there is anything that embarrasses you, I will take care of it."

The second brother is a petty person. Even if he doesn't care much about Jiang Liangcai, he will inevitably make things difficult for him if he is rejected by Jiang Liangcai. Xie Ze's words can be regarded as a reassurance to Jiang Liangcai.

There was no other way. After all, he was called Goff. For Ashin's sake, he had to reluctantly protect this guy.

Jiang Liangcai was delighted when he heard this, and quickly climbed up the pole: "Thank you, brother, I'll take my leave now!"

He originally thought that he could not afford to offend the Second Prince. If the other party came to him again, he would use the tactic of procrastination and use the excuse of concentrating on preparing for next year's college entrance examination and not go out during this period of time.

As for what will happen in the future, we can only think of a solution after he passes the examination.

I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise today. Since the wise king said so, he doesn't have to worry about the revenge of the second prince. It's really worth calling him "brother-in-law"!

Everyone knows that the virtuous king is a cruel and bloody evil spirit, but probably no one knows that the secret to pleasing the virtuous king is so simple...his eldest brother is mighty!

Jiang Liangcai smiled and winked at his elder brother, then quickly left the palace.

Jiang Xin: “…”

After sending Jiang Liangcai away, Xie Ze did not avoid Jiang Xin. He directly called the secret guard beside him and asked him to keep an eye on the movements in the Second Prince's Mansion and check whether the rumors in the capital had any connection with that place.

Jiang Xin thought about Jiang Liangcai's previous description, as well as his Highness's expression when he heard about "Wind-Ears". Just as he was about to ask about that person, he saw his Highness slightly raise their hands again and said indifferently:

"There is one more thing. This prince and Ashin are together. From now on, Ashin will be your second master. His words are equivalent to mine."

Jiang Xin: “…”

"...Ah?" The secret guard was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised his head and uttered a brief sound of doubt.

"Is there a problem?" Xie Ze frowned and said lightly.

The secret guard was startled and immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "No."

He was a little confused. Young Master Jiang was his second master. Didn't His Highness tell him this a long time ago? Why did he remind him again today? Was he worried that he had forgotten?

The poor, naive and straight secret guard didn't know that his prince was not kindly reminding him not to forget his instructions, but simply wanted to tell him the previous sentence, and also to let him see the two people's tightly clasped hands.

The secret guards took orders and left in a daze. Jiang Xin looked at his highness like a peacock spreading its tail. Ever since he met Ah Fu in the morning, he had to emphasize this every time he saw a living person. He could no longer bear it and said, "Your Highness!"

"What's wrong?" Xie Ze lowered his head and looked at his study partner gently.

"..." Jiang Xin's fierce words were immediately stuck in his throat. After a long while, he finally managed to utter: "You... restrain yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that his highness would not stop asking why he had to restrain himself, Jiang Xin hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, someone has just been sent to announce the imperial decree. It's not good for you to do this."

When Xie Ze mentioned the imperial edict that Emperor Kang Yuan sent someone to read out early in the morning, his face instantly turned dark.

At that time, he had just expressed his feelings to Ashin, and before he had the chance to kiss Ashin properly, he was interrupted by a sudden imperial decree.

What do you mean if he can't develop new weapons, he will be sent to the Huo family in Jiangnan to learn? There are so many craftsmen in the Ministry of War, and they have been hiding in the weapons camp for so many years without inventing anything. Why doesn't Your Majesty send them to the Huo family? ! You want to bully him, right?

The craftsmen who have been in the weapons camp for decades: "..."

If Ah Xin had not quickly grabbed him, if he had not known that Ah Xin still had the weapon blueprints that he had not taken out, if the imperial edict had not promised the treatment after the new weapons were developed, he would have kicked the person who delivered the edict out and went to the palace to argue with His Majesty.

"Your Highness, please keep a low profile." Jiang Xin frowned and educated his own Highness in a very serious tone.

Xie Ze frowned, and was about to refute unwillingly, but was interrupted by his Ah Xin. He pursed his lips and said embarrassedly: "His Majesty's decree said that if I can develop a new weapon, you can grant me a wish."

It has to be said that Emperor Kang Yuan knew how to control people. He knew that his behavior of breaking up the couple was a bit excessive, so he held a reward in his hand to tell them that he had given them a chance.

As long as Jiang Xin is really capable and Xie Ze is persistent enough, he, as the emperor, is willing to help them.

However, this opportunity is too demanding and out of reach.

Of course, the current Emperor Kang Yuan does not know that the conditions he set, which he thought were almost impossible to accomplish, are actually easy tasks for Jiang Xin, who has lived two lifetimes.

Jiang Xin blushed slightly when he thought of the contents of the imperial edict, and whispered, "Wait for me to draw a new blueprint and build the catapult, and then I will ask His Majesty to be with His Highness..."

The three words "together" were as soft as a mosquito, but Xie Ze still caught them accurately. He was moved and distressed. He couldn't help but pull the person close to him, rubbed the other's head affectionately, and whispered:

"Don't worry about it, Shin. Do what you want to do. No one can stop us from being together. I will make everyone bless us, including His Majesty."

However, Jiang Xin shook his head fiercely, and looked at his Highness stubbornly and firmly: "It is I who want to be with His Highness, and I want to work hard in my own way."

Jiang Xin paused and added, "Work hard with His Highness."

Xie Ze was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief, rested his chin on Jiang Xin's neck, hugged his baby tightly, and chuckled, "Okay, let's work hard together."

Jiang Xin was satisfied, and he let go of Xie Ze slightly, and said seriously: "So, Your Highness, you must listen to me, and don't conflict with His Majesty again. Wait for my good news."

"..." Xie Ze stared at Jiang Xin for a long time before he touched his nose and said helplessly and lovingly, "I know."

Since he is being controlled so strictly, he definitely has to listen to Ashin.

So, after Emperor Kang Yuan issued the decree, Xie Ze, who was worried that his nephew would come to the palace to cause trouble again, was able to calm down for a rare time. He listened to his father's words, returned to the palace honestly, took up the burden of the Ministry of War again, and began to work seriously.

"...He didn't even come to the palace to reason with me?" Emperor Kang Yuan waited and waited but no one showed up. When he received the news that Xie Ze had returned to the Ministry of War to take up his post, his face was filled with shock.

"..." Your Majesty, do you want the virtuous king to cause trouble for you or not? Eunuch Wang secretly complained in his heart, but smiled and said in a flattering way:

“I heard that it was Young Master Jiang who persuaded His Highness. I have been with His Majesty for so many years, but I have never seen anyone who could persuade His Highness!

Your Majesty, it seems that His Royal Highness the Wise King really cares about this time."

Emperor Kang Yuan's brows relaxed slightly upon hearing this, but he snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Indulging in love, this bastard is getting more and more promising."

Emperor Kang Yuan then handed several memorials related to the Ministry of War to Eunuch Wang and said calmly, "Find him more things to do so that he doesn't have time to run around."

"Yes." Eunuch Wang took the letter respectfully and went out with the imperial edict.

The emperor's suspicion is unavoidable, no matter how kind and benevolent Emperor Kang Yuan, who loves his children very much, cannot avoid it.

For Emperor Kang Yuan, a prince who is obsessed with love and does not work properly is far more trustworthy than a prince who is more capable than his master and works diligently.

Eunuch Wang walked out of the Forbidden City with the memorial in his hand. He subconsciously looked back at the huge cage, and his thoughts vaguely returned to the scene when the late crown prince was still alive.

Just as Your Majesty has never forgotten the love his brother once showed him, he has also never forgotten the grace of the late Crown Prince in giving him a new life.

He will do his best to protect the only bloodline of the late crown prince.
