The Rebirth of the Bamboo Horse Emperor

After returning to Fengxi Palace for dinner, Jiang Mu originally planned to take him to a restaurant in the city for dinner, but he came back a bit early.

Gu Jue fell asleep very early tonight, probably because he was a little tired today.

Jiang Mu got up secretly, sat on the bedside and watched him for a while.

His Huai Xi has always been so smart.If it were any other child, he would have been dragged away foolishly.

Worrying about his father's war all day long, he lived cautiously in the palace, fearing that doing something wrong would hurt the family.Whose child would be so distressing.

Huaixi grew up to be sunny and unruly.

Why didn't I find out earlier that his childhood was so difficult.

What a jerk I am!

Jiang Mu scolded himself in his heart.

He got up and sneaked a soft kiss on Gu Jue's forehead, then left the bedroom and went to the imperial concubine's hall.

Concubine Chen was sitting in the hall waiting for him.No one else was there.

"Mother concubine."

"Did something happen?" Concubine Chen asked him, because Jiang Mu didn't smile like before, and she deliberately dismissed Gu Jue, letting Xi Ruo talk to herself.

"Mother Concubine, my son wants to be the crown prince, please help me." Jiang Mu knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to him.

Concubine Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Have you thought about it? Once you get involved in seizing the throne, it will only be endless calculations and fights, and at worst you may even die."

"My son knows this, but I have something I want to protect. If I don't have power, even if I compromise and withdraw from this struggle, I will still die in return, and my loved one will be hurt." Jiang Mu raised his head, his eyes full of It is stubborn and strong, "So I thought, I might as well try my best."

Concubine Chen stared at him for a while, trying to find even the slightest bit of retreat and hesitation in his eyes.

"Get up, Concubine Mu promises you." Concubine Chen pulled him up from the ground.

"Thank you, Concubine Mu!" Although he knew that Concubine Chen would agree to him, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

If you say this suddenly for no reason, the concubine must be suspicious, right?

Jiang Mu was thinking about what to say when he heard Concubine Chen say, "I know that my Mu'er has been extremely intelligent since she was a child, and everyone in the harem said that you are the emperor's favorite, and they all thought that you must be the one to inherit the throne .But I never thought of it that way."

Concubine Chen took his hand, "If you want to win the heir, you will live a more tiring life than everyone else. You will be worried all day long, guarding against possible murders and schemes by anyone around you. If you fail, you will be decapitated and left behind." If it succeeds, the emperor needs to care about the world and worry about everything for the people. No matter what the result is, it is not what I want to see. I just want my Mu'er to live a peaceful life. When the age is reached, the king will leave the palace to build a mansion, find a beautiful and virtuous woman to marry, and guard the fief from generation to generation."

"Mother Concubine, I..." Jiang Mu's heart ached when he heard what she said.

Concubine Chen didn't listen to him, and continued, "I know, that's impossible, we can't do whatever we want. It doesn't matter if we are pulled as a stepping stone for other princes to seize the throne, or we are suspected by the emperor for no reason, I know that one day You will still be involved. It's just that I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to tell me so soon. "

"Mother Concubine, I will not fail." Jiang Mu looked at Concubine Chen's dim eyes and said suddenly.

Concubine Chen looked at his solemn expression, and suddenly burst out laughing.

She pulled him into her arms and ruffled his hair.

"I know, Mu'er will definitely succeed." As long as there is concubine mother, no one will hurt you.

Concubine Chen's eyes in the night suddenly became sharp.

"Okay, let's talk about other things tomorrow, it's getting late, go and rest quickly. Xiaojue will look for you when she wakes up later." Concubine Chen said.

"Yes, I'm going to leave first, and the mother and concubine should rest earlier." Jiang Mu slipped out of the main hall with his short legs.

He didn't pay attention to what his mother concubine said was a little abnormal.

Back in his bedroom, Jiang Mu tiptoed to climb onto the bed, but Gu Jue turned around suddenly, his eyes still hazy.

……

"Your Highness? Where did you go?" Gu Jue asked in a daze.

Jiang Mu wanted to say that he had gone to the latrine, but he changed his words, "I went to the palace of the mother and concubine, and I have something to say. Be good, go to sleep, and I will talk to you tomorrow."

Since I said I wouldn't lie to him, there wouldn't be even a small thing.

Gu Jue opened his eyes to see him lying on the bed, and when Jiang Mu habitually held his hand again, he fell asleep again.

I have to say that since entering the palace, both in terms of personality and mood, they have changed a lot.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mu couldn't help smiling, and then fell asleep.

The next day, Gu Jue and Jiang Mu went back to Zhenxiu Pavilion for dinner after morning class.

It is said to be a morning class, but it is just that the class starts in the morning and lasts until before lunch.

Only Xi Ruo was left in the restaurant to wait on her.

"Mother, do you know about the banditry case in Qingzhou?" Jiang Mu asked while eating.

"The magistrate was hijacked by the bandit leader and colluded with the bandit gang." Concubine Chen said calmly.

"He was really forced?" Jiang Mu asked.

"Li Yan is Tanhualang appointed by the emperor two years ago. I have met him before, and he is quite reliable." Concubine Chen paused, and continued, "But no matter what his reasons are, collusion with bandits is unforgivable. crime."

"I understand." Jiang Mu said.

He knew that Concubine Chen wanted him to be a good monarch.

After he went to the feudal land of Lingzhou in the previous life, his mother and concubine disappeared from the palace suddenly with Jiang Lin.

No one can find it.

The emperor personally went to the residence of Lord Xiao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but Lord Xiao knew nothing about it.After learning that her daughter and grandson were missing, she almost fell ill.

He sent people to inquire and search in many ways but failed to find the concubine Chen, so the emperor had to give up and announced to everyone that the concubine Chen and the nine princes had fallen ill and died.Let's just let it go.

Of course, Jiang Mu also sent someone or even went to look for him himself. After all, they were his biological mother and younger brother, but there was no news of them.

Later, when Jiang Qing's wrestling army attacked Lingzhou to kill him, dozens of people in black clothes descended from the sky, all of them were highly skilled in martial arts.At that time, he wanted to bring his own people to fight to the death, but with the help of this wave of people, and Jiang Qing didn't expect such an accident to happen, so no reinforcements arrived, and he won easily .

After the retreat, the leader of the group walked towards him. He looked like he was in his early twenties, with regular facial features and handsome eyebrows.He cupped his fists and saluted him, "The lord ordered us to come and rescue you. Since you are out of danger, I will take my leave."

Jiang Mu's vigilant heart relaxed a little, and he quickly stopped him and said, "Can you tell me, who is the master of the young hero? Why did you save him?"

The young man thought for a while, and seemed to think that the master had never said anything about concealing his identity from him, so he said, "The master's name is Weiyang, and his surname is Xiao. As for why, I don't know, I just follow orders."

The young man looked at Jiang Mu's obviously stunned face, and seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation, so he said, "His Royal Highness, take your leave." After speaking, he left with a group of people.

It took Jiang Mu a while to recover, and everyone had already left.

Xiao Weiyang is the name of his mother and concubine.

So far, he still doesn't know the real identity of the concubine mother.

"Mother and concubine, can I ask a question?"

"Just ask."

"Has your influence extended to Qingzhou?"

Concubine Chen thought for a while and said, "Qingzhou doesn't have it, but Lingzhou in the neighboring area does, and it's the same."

"Why, do you want to intervene in the case of banditry in Qingzhou?" Concubine Chen asked him.

"Yes. The bodyguard Shen Yan next to the emperor took me and Xiaojue out of the palace yesterday, and I overheard Bai Muyang talking with Song Jiao in Feiquanfang. I promised the bodyguard Shen that I would restore peace to the people of Qingzhou within half a month, and asked him not to Tell your father."

Concubine Chen said, "Why don't you want the emperor to know?"

"Bai Muyang threatened Song Jiao with this, there must be something hidden behind it. Once the emperor knows about this, Song Jiao will be useless, and Bai Muyang will definitely push him out, and we will not know what his purpose is. "

Concubine Chen nodded, "Leave the Qingzhou matter to me."

Then he continued, "Why do you trust Shen Yan? Are you afraid that he will betray you secretly after agreeing to you face to face?"

"I think that if the method is right, the two brothers of the Shen family can be used by me." Jiang Mu shook his head.

Concubine Chen nodded clearly. In fact, she also had this intention. Since Jiang Mu could think of this by himself, he was smarter and more mature than she thought.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. We are not allowed to discuss this matter at the dinner table in the future. You can't concentrate on eating even if you look at Xiaojue."

Gu Jue had been listening to the two of them talking, and hearing what Chen Fei said, it seemed that she was complaining that he had eavesdropped, so she suddenly panicked.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I... didn't mean to—"

Jiang Mu interrupted him, took his hand to comfort him, "Little fool, my concubine didn't mean to blame you, hurry up and eat, or I will be beaten later."

Gu Jue secretly glanced at Concubine Chen, and found that he was still smiling gently as always, so he was a little relieved.

But I still couldn't help thinking about what the mother and son had just said.

Concubine Chen has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can she have power in Lingzhou?

Otherwise, it's better to ask the Third Highness in secret after dinner.

Bai Shaoran still didn't come this afternoon, so he took four days off and finally came on the fifth day.

But this time, he also brought a small tail.

"Your Highness, I have something to do with your family. I haven't seen you for a few days. Have you and Mr. Gu practiced the basic skills on time every day?" Bai Shaoran's first sentence over here well demonstrated his style of being a famous teacher, Fan.

Except for the first day when Jiang Mu and Gu Jue slacked off and went out to play, the other days they practiced obediently.

So Jiang Mu answered with confidence.

"General Bai, who is this?" Jiang Mu pointed to the little tail behind him.

The child hid behind Bai Shaoran, and when asked by Jiang Mu, he was a little timid and a little excited.

Bai Shaoran hugged the child in front of him, and it happened that Jiang Mu and Gu Jue saw that handsome face with delicate features.

"Return to Your Highness, this is a child adopted by the minister. There is no one to take care of him at home, so we brought them to the palace together. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

The child is thin and weak, but his eyes are very bright, and his face is not as pale as before, but a little rosy.

Gu Jue stared at him for a long time.

In fact, it is very difficult for anyone to look away from his eyes, but Jiang Mu was stunned for a long time.

Those light purple pupils are hardly one in 10 people!Faced with this elegant and immature face that has not yet fully grown, who else is not Yin Mubai? !
