Reborn as a King in the Hand

The carriage swayed, and Xia Chaosheng, who was sitting in the sedan chair, also swayed.

He is not in good health and mentally weak, and he often has to rest until noon before waking up, and he really got up earlier today.

Mu Rugui didn't ride the horse either, and sat in the sedan chair with Xia Chaosheng. Seeing that he seemed to be falling asleep, he reached out hesitantly. Before his fingertips touched his neck, Xia Chaosheng woke up.

"Ninth Uncle?"

Mu Rugui withdrew his hand like lightning, and silently looked away.

After a while, his shoulders sank, and it was Xia Chaosheng who leaned over on his own initiative.

Three thousand black hairs were scattered on Mu Rugui's shoulders.Xia Chaosheng coughed in a low voice, and stuffed his hand into Mu Rugui's palm.

Warmth welled up, and his eyes gradually became clear.

"Uncle Jiu, when we see Your Majesty later, we can't be too close." He thought thoughtfully, "If Your Majesty knows about us...cough cough, he will definitely be more afraid of the Houfu and Wangfu in the future."

Xia Chaosheng felt that Mu Rugui must understand the deep meaning of his words, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to doze off, but when the carriage stopped in front of the palace wall, he opened his eyes and heard Mu Rugui whisper: "How can we gone?"

He paused as he stepped out of the carriage, carefully discerning the seriousness in Uncle Jiu's tone.

Seeing that Xia Chaosheng couldn't get out of the car, Mu Rugui thought he couldn't jump down, so he stretched out his arms and jumped down with his arms around him.

Then he fixedly looked into Xia Chaosheng's eyes, and said bluntly: "You and I have not yet performed the ceremony of Duke Zhou."

His face immediately turned red.

Xia Chaosheng snatched the hand stove Xia Hua handed over, backed up several steps, and didn't stop until Chang Zhong came to meet him.

He thought too.

But he broke his knees in front of the Golden Luan Hall, and it was difficult for him to walk a few steps. How could he...be able to bear it?

Besides, it was Mu Rugui's own decision not to consummate the house last night, but now that it is brought up, it seems to be his fault.

After all, Xia Chaosheng had never experienced human affairs, he was so shy and anxious that he didn't even dare to look at Mu Rugui's face, instead he straightened his neck to look at the clouds in the sky.

Of course Yun is not as good-looking as Mu Rugui, but Yun Shengzai won't tell him anything about the room.

The inner guard who came over lowered his head, stood beside them with a smile, and said with a pinched voice, "Your Majesty, Young Master, Your Majesty bestows you with a soft sedan chair."

In fact, Chang Zhong has been hiding aside and watching for a long time.

Liang Wang was worried that the relationship between the Hou's Mansion and the Wang's Mansion would ease due to a marriage, so Chang Zhong naturally wanted to share the worries for His Majesty.

At first, when the internal servant saw Mu Rugui holding Xia Chaosheng's sedan chair, he was very nervous, thinking that King Liang's worries had become a reality, but soon, he saw Xia Chaosheng pushing Mu Rugui away and retreating all the way.

This shows that the relationship is not good.

Chang Zhong was relieved all of a sudden, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "Young Master is not in good health, Your Majesty is reading very hard!"

Xia Chaosheng reluctantly thanked Mu Rugui and climbed onto the sedan chair with difficulty without looking at Mu Rugui behind him.

Mu Rugui hesitated for a moment, but instead of following, he turned his head and looked at Chang Zhong with a cold face.

"My lord..." Chang Zhong was so pierced by the cold gaze that he almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and said with a wry smile, "Your lord also wants to take a soft sedan chair?"

The soft sedan chair given by the emperor can seat two people, Mu Rugui doesn't want to sit on the same chair with Xia Chaosheng, and Chang Zhong can't make another one.

"Let's go." Luckily, Mu Rugui didn't force him, he followed the sedan chair to the palace with his hands behind his back.

On the road, Xia Chaosheng's suppressed low cough came from the sedan chair from time to time, Chang Zhong chased the sedan chair to ask his health, he replied a few words in a lukewarm manner, and soon came to the Golden Luan Hall.

"Your servant is really confused." Chang Zhong pretended to be annoyed, and pleaded guilty again and again, "Your Majesty has not yet come to court! Prince, young master, please go to the imperial study with this servant."

Right at the entrance where the inner guard blamed himself, the door of the Golden Luan Hall opened abruptly, and the prince wearing a four-claw python robe came out surrounded by courtiers.

Mu Rugui turned around following the sound, and met Mu Ruqi's gaze.

Standing in front of the Golden Luan Hall, the prince raised his eyebrows provocatively, and walked step by step, intentionally staying on the stone brick where Xia Chaosheng had knelt for three days and three nights, and then walked to the soft sedan chair, and gently Call: "Chaosheng."

Mu Rugui's complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't help approaching the soft sedan.

Hearing a few painful coughs from the soft sedan chair, Xia Zhaosheng got up rustlingly, got out of the sedan chair with his clothes in his hands and saluted, "Your Highness the Prince."

His face was pale and his lips were bloodless. Mu Ruqi felt heartbroken when he saw the scene, and when he thought of the anti-marriage incident, he felt sad and couldn't wait to reach out his hand, as if to pull him into his arms.

This is the place where they knelt together, how do others understand?

But before Mu Ruqi's hand touched Xia Chaosheng, Mu Rugui stepped forward and grabbed Xia Chaosheng's waist.

"Uncle Nine Emperors..." Mu Ruqi frowned in dissatisfaction when he failed.

Has this sinner who conspired against him in his previous life acted so boldly since then?

Mu Ruqi was vigilant, and went to see Xia Chaosheng again, only to find that he had been blocked by Mu Ru, only the hem of his blue clothes was exposed.

Fortunately, Mu Ruqi had just seen Xia Chaosheng's face clearly - he was still the same as in his previous life, with most of the edges and corners smoothed, delicate and weak.

But the celestial demeanor that was inherited from the Pei family and was suppressed by the heroic spirit between his brows happened to be completely exposed.

It is really not a lie that the Pei family has many beauties.

The more Mu Ruqi focused on Xia Chaosheng, the more he felt that he was blind in his previous life.

What's so good about Xia Yu?

Isn't it just being gentler and more well-behaved... As long as he wants to find such a man, he can be found everywhere.

Only Xia Chaosheng is unique, his frown and smile are touching, and his heart is deeply imprinted.

Mu Ruqi's eyes lit up, and he felt that rebirth was a chance given by God.

He is not only here to regain the throne, but also to save Xia Chaosheng from Mu Rugui.

He almost made it.

If it wasn't for a mistake in this life, when sending the wedding dress, I bumped into an attendant of the palace...

They could obviously start over.

Almost ready to start all over again!

Mu Ruqi thought of this, and clenched his hands hidden in the armholes little by little, but his face didn't show at all, and he smiled and said to Xia Chaosheng: "You are not in good health, get on the sedan chair quickly, the emperor is in the royal palace. I'm waiting for you in the study."

He only said "you" instead of "you", and he didn't look at Mu Rugui, as if Xia Chaosheng was surrounded by a cloud of air.

Xia Chaosheng wrinkled his nose, feeling uneasy. Based on what he knew about Mu Ruqi in his previous life, this person appeared deliberately, and must have a plan.

"Chaosheng, father...knows your difficulties." Sure enough, Mu Ruqi stretched out his hand to Xia Chaosheng as if no one else was there. If he hadn't pretended to cough, he would have been dragged away in public.

"Father will decide for us."

A cold light flashed in his fox eyes.

What will King Liang do?

Now that he is Mu Rugui's man, is it possible that King Liang wants to force them to reconcile?

Xia Chaosheng shivered, and without waiting for Mu Rushou to speak again, he directly said "Your Majesty is still waiting" as an excuse to salute and leave.

It's just that the sedan chair traveled a long way, and he could still feel Mu Ruqi's burning eyes.

Xia Chaosheng was disgusted and puzzled.

At this time in the previous life, the person who claimed to be his concubine brother should have appeared, right?

Even if Mu Ruqi really coveted the power of the Marquis Mansion and wanted to marry him into the East Palace in order to seize the throne, he shouldn't be so eager.

If you get close to him in front of all the officials, won't you be afraid of spreading the word and being ridiculed by the whole world?

He is now... but the prince's elder in name.

"Young Master, we're here."

When the sedan chair landed, Xia Chaosheng came back to his senses, walked to the imperial study with Mu Rugui, and waited for about a stick of incense before King Liang arrived with a group of attendants.

"Ninth brother." Liang Wang smiled and groaned, his eyes wandering back and forth between the two of them.

The young master of Zhen Guohou's mansion has an incomparable appearance, and Mu Rugui, who put on court clothes, is tall and tall. Standing together, they unexpectedly match each other well.

King Liang immediately felt uncomfortable, and asked Xia Chaosheng whether his health had improved, and his eyes fell on Chang Zhong frequently.

Chang Zhong understood and shook his head cryptically.

Only then did King Liang feel relieved, and with a wave of his hand, he gave Xia Chaosheng several boxes of precious medicinal materials.

If you are not in good health, just make up for it. As for whether you can survive...it all depends on God's will!

After giving the medicinal materials, King Liang looked at Mu Rugui: "Ninth Brother, when you were newly married, I shouldn't have said these things... But the Di people in Youyun Sixteen Continents were restless the day before yesterday, so I thought of you... ...Only you can do this for Daliang."

Standing beside Mu Rugui, Xia Chaosheng suddenly recalled his previous life. When the Di people in Youyun Sixteen Continents heard that Mu Rugui had returned to Shangjing, they also had a different heart.

That is, he was trapped in the East Palace, and he heard that the crown prince also went out with Uncle Jiu, but he was always one step slower than Uncle Jiu.

Mu Rugui led the soldiers to fight bloody battles on the front line, while Mu Ruqi hid in the back and pretended to appease the refugees. As a result, Mu Rugui's reputation for brutality became stronger and stronger, while the crown prince's fame spread far and wide.

How do ordinary people far away in Beijing know the twists and turns?

One pass to ten, ten to one hundred, Mu Rugui and the frontline soldiers' credits all went to the crown prince, and they didn't even get half of the rewards, only got a ridiculous decree of "equal merits".

Xia Chaosheng was born in the Marquis's Mansion, although he has never been to a battlefield, he has been swayed by his ears and eyes on weekdays, and he has given up on Mu Ruqi and no longer looks at Uncle Jiu with prejudice.

It's a pity, at that time, he couldn't protect himself, so what if he saw clearly?

Many things in the world, he has been powerless.

"Your Majesty." But Xia Chaosheng in this life still has a lot to do for Uncle Jiu, "It is the duty of a minister to secure the country."

King Liang and Mu Rugui didn't expect him to speak, and they all looked at him in surprise.

Xia Chaosheng was calm and composed, and didn't say much.

Liang Wang frowned and thought for a while, then he understood: Oh, Xia Rongshan's boy doesn't want to see his ninth brother, he just wish Mu Rugui could go to the battlefield!

From this point of view, the two of them were really at odds.

Liang Wang originally wanted Mu Rugui to return to Youyun Sixteen Continents to guard, and immediately followed Xia Chaosheng's wishes and asked Mu Rugui to return to Youyun seven days later, and then sighed: "I know, the prince made a few days ago There are many ridiculous things, but he is my son after all... Ninth brother, let him go to Youyun with you, and follow your orders, how about it?"

Xia Chaosheng secretly sneered upon hearing this.

In this life, King Liang really wants the prince to take credit for Mu Rugui.

Mu Rugui didn't agree, but went to see Xia Chaosheng.

They were just married for seven days...

It's just that this was Xia Zhaosheng's initiative to ask, and besides, it is indeed the duty of a courtier to stabilize the country and stabilize the country. After a moment of hesitation, Mu Rugui complied.

Liang Wang was overjoyed, and wanted to say a few more words, Mu Rugui had already expressed his gratitude indifferently, saying that he would go to the Queen Mother to pay his respects.

"Go." Liang Wang didn't stop him, but just when Xia Chaosheng was about to walk out of the imperial study, he said abruptly, "I just remembered, Xia Rongshan told me a few days ago to let you go back to Taixue and be the prince's companion." read."

"...I'm sure. I just thought that you just got married with the ninth brother, and it was the time when you were in love, so you postponed it for a month. What do you think?"

In King Liang's view, this was another "reward" for Xia Chaosheng.

Xia Chaosheng's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look for Mu Rugui's figure.

If he went to Taixue, he would have to face the prince, but if he didn't go to Taixue, Liang Wang was suspicious by nature, so he must think that the Houfu had something to do.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Mu Rugui, who had already walked outside the imperial study room, nodded to him.

Against the light, Xia Chaosheng couldn't see Uncle Jiu's expression clearly, but his heart instantly settled down.

Just go, can the crown prince eat him?

Leaving the Imperial Study Room, Xia Chaosheng didn't get into the soft sedan chair, but walked side by side with Mu Rugui on the way to the Palace of Compassion and Peace where the Empress Dowager lived.

Holding the stove in his hand, he struggled to keep up with Mu Rugui's footsteps: "Uncle Jiu, I..."

He paused, seeing that Mu Rugui's jaw was tense, and without waiting for his own will, he immediately hooked his fingers on the corner of Uncle Jiu's clothes sullenly: "Uncle Jiu, do you have anything you want to ask me?"

Such as expedition, such as the prince.

Such as his commitment, his heart.

Hearing this, Mu Rugui lowered his head and grabbed Xia Chaosheng's fingertips, holding them in his palm, as if melting a piece of cold ice.

Xia Zhaosheng's heart also felt warm, he stopped being aggressive, but leaned against Mu Rugui, and sneezed a little.

Just as Mu Rugui was about to say something, he was startled back by the sneeze, and then gathered the cloak around his shoulders for him.

Mu Rugui originally wanted to say that Xia Chaosheng was snatched by himself, even if he regretted it now, even if Prince Liang ordered them to reconcile, he would not let go.

But as soon as the words came to his lips, the stone steps in front of the Jinluan Hall suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

That was the place where Xia Chaosheng knelt down for three days and three nights in order to resist the marriage.

Mu Rugui has been in the army all year round and is familiar with the laws of the army. Sometimes when he catches deserters or troublemakers, he will kneel down and punish them.

People who practice martial arts can't survive three days, let alone the young master of the Hou Mansion?

But Xia Chaosheng survived, and knelt down half his life.

Mu Rugui couldn't imagine how affectionate it was, but felt like a knife was twisting his heart, wishing he could kill the prince and trap Xia Chaosheng firmly by his side.

He could not care that Xia Chaosheng pushed himself away from Youyun on the seventh day of his wedding, but he couldn't care less about the person Xia Chaosheng chose, the prince.

That's not Xia Chaosheng's beloved, that's the indifferent person who threw the pregnant concubine Ji into the water to destroy her body.

The dark emotions in Mu Rugui's heart surged again.

He wanted to trap him around.I want his eyes to fall on me.

Want... want to do all the things that Xia Chaosheng must hate.

But in the end, he only pulled Xia Chaosheng into his arms, and said softly, "I believe in you."

Now that you have promised to trust, this life will not change again.

Xia Chaosheng's heart softened, he held Mu Rugui's hand instead, and muttered to explain: "Uncle Jiu, I don't want to see the prince, and I don't want to go back to Taixue."

Mu Rugui held his hand tightly.

He continued: "If I wasn't worried about His Majesty's jealousy, I wouldn't have nodded in the Imperial Study just now."

Mu Rugui's fingers tightened and tightened.

"Uncle Nine..." Xia Chaosheng stopped hesitantly, remembering Mu Rugui's rebellion in his previous life, and tentatively said, "If in the future, Your Majesty... Your Majesty can't bear the Marquis Mansion..."

"I will stand by your side." Mu Rugui interrupted his hesitating, raised his hand to land on his head first, and then couldn't help but stick it to his cheek.

The hideous and ugly scar brushed against Xia Chaosheng's face, he couldn't help frowning, and then smiled again.

In fact, he didn't have to ask.

How far Mu Rugui can go...he knows it all.

But he didn't want Uncle Jiu to live so hard anymore.

His Ninth Uncle is not a tyrant, nor is he a ruthless god of killing.

He is the one who wants to grow old together in this life.

Xia Chaosheng took a deep breath, grabbed Mu Rugui's sleeve, and promised softly, "There is one more thing."

"what?"

"I want to follow you to Youyun."

After Mu Rugui almost heard what he said, he shouted angrily: "No!"

Before the scars on the corners of the man's eyes fell off, he frowned and stared, and he became fierce. Even the palace maids passing by in the palace knelt on the ground one after another when they heard the words, and they were so frightened that they dared not breathe. He started the stove and blinked innocently at Mu Rugui.

"We've only been married for seven days, and uncle Jiu is going to abandon me?"

"Chaosheng, you know that's not what I meant." Mu Rugui grabbed his thin wrist, Xia Chaosheng gasped for breath from the hideous scar.

He trembled and murmured: "I know that I am not in good health and will become a burden to Uncle Jiu, and I will not really go to Youyun Sixteen Continents... I will wait for you at Jiaxing Pass, okay?"

Jiaxing Pass is the closest state capital to Youyun Sixteen Continents. It is deserted and remote, but it is safe. As long as Youyun is there, Jiaxing Pass will not be broken.

"Uncle Jiu, you believe me, and I... I believe you too." Seeing Uncle Jiu hesitate, Xia Chaosheng immediately hugged Mu Rugui and whispered, "I don't want to leave you."

His cheeks were flushed, his voice was soft and soft, like a ray of spring wind, blowing into Mu Rugui's heart.

Mu Rugui's eyes were filled with emotions like turbulent waves, and then quickly calmed down like stagnant water.

He felt that Xia Chaosheng would not understand what his promise meant.

But he'd rather he didn't know.

If it were known that he was rebellious early...

Mu Rugui pulled Xia Chaosheng into his arms with all his might, making sure that the wind would not blow into his collar, so he stepped forward again.

"Uncle Nine, are you agreeing to me?" Xia Chaosheng asked anxiously as he walked all the way because he didn't know.

He didn't want the prince to take the credit of Uncle Jiu again, and he didn't want Uncle Jiu to be misunderstood by the whole world.

But Mu Rugui let him make trouble, walked steadily, pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Uncle Nine..."

"..."

"...Uncle Nine!"

"..."

"Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine..."

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, they arrived outside the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Only then did Mu Rugui stretch out his hand to brush the hair from Xia Chaosheng's forehead, and reluctantly agreed: "We'll talk about it when we return home."

Xia Chaosheng knew that Mu Rugui let go of his mouth meant to take him there, so he smiled happily and stopped making trouble, and turned to salute in the direction of the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

The queen mother has been bedridden for many years and cannot see anyone.

After Xia Chaosheng and Mu Rugui received the reward outside the palace, they returned to the palace.

And Xia Yu, who had been standing in the courtyard for a long time, finally realized that Mu Rugui and Xia Chaosheng were not in the mansion.He ran to the front of the mansion with his attendants, and sure enough, he saw the Ninth Prince who was waiting for him standing under the carriage, helping the little Marquis of the Hou Mansion to get off the carriage.

From a long distance, Xia Yu couldn't see Xia Chaosheng's face clearly, but he saw the complicated and luxurious blue court dress.

A man is a princess, and his court clothes are not as graceful as a woman's, but it is also eye-catching.

Hou Mansion, Princess...

Xia Yu's eyes were so red that it almost dripped blood, she clutched the jade pendant engraved with the word "Xia", pushed aside the attendants who were blocking her, and walked towards the carriage.

"Hey, you are..."

"Crazy, what to squeeze?"

"There's something wrong!"

The servants who were pushed away kept cursing in a low voice, but Xia Yu didn't care.

Xia Zhaosheng doesn't cherish everything he wants, so let him cherish it for him.

Xia Yu gritted her teeth amidst the exclamation of everyone and rushed towards the carriage.

He thought for a whole morning in the cold wind, and he realized one thing - no matter how good the strategy is, it is not as good as making the Ninth Prince notice the fact that he came.

He looks so similar to Xia Chaosheng, if he is injured, the prince loves the house and will definitely take him into the house.

Xia Yu's plan, to a certain extent, succeeded.

Everyone's eyes fell on his face, even Xia Chaosheng who was holding Mu Rugui's hand widened his eyes in surprise.

Xia Yu interpreted it as consternation, regret, and panic.

In fact, Xia Chaosheng was really frightened.

Because the four horses pulling the cart were startled by Xia Yu's sudden appearance, raised their front hooves high, and stomped hard on the ground.

"Chaosheng." Mu Rugui had quick eyes and quick hands, hugged Xia Chaosheng in his arms, avoiding the frightened horse.

Xia Yu was not so lucky.

His mind was filled with the joy of the trickery's success, he didn't hear the exclamation of the crowd at all, until he was kicked away by the horse, there was still a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

The smile on Xia Yu's face froze when she hit the ground heavily and heard the sound of bones breaking, and before she could let out a miserable cry, she passed out completely.

"Where did the attendant come from?" Hong Wu hastily reined in the reins, calmed the horse, and yelled sharply, "What should I do if the prince and concubine are startled?!"

Hei Qi heard the words, raised his legs and ran to Xia Yu's side, saw that he was wearing the lowest-ranked attendant, immediately grabbed his collar and dragged him back to the mansion for treatment.

It's just that everyone knows that even if Xia Yu is alive and disturbs the concubine, she will definitely not be able to stay in the palace any longer.

"My lord." Hong Wu handed over the reins to his servant, turned over and jumped off the carriage, "How should I deal with this person?"

Mu Rugui had long forgotten who Xia Yu was, and he didn't remember that his facial features were similar to his own princess. He only hugged Xia Chaosheng, who was wandering in the sky, thinking that he was frightened, and his heart ached, so his tone became more and more sinister: "Cure it first. , hit another forty sticks, tore up the contract of sale, and kicked out of the house."

Red Five responded, and heard Mu Rugui sternly said: "There is still Black Seven, with twenty army sticks, and I don't have to wait in front of the princess in the future."

Hong Wu was startled suddenly and looked embarrassed, but thinking that this group of attendants was indeed selected by Hei Qi, he suppressed his pleading and took orders to leave.

"Chaosheng." After Mu Rugui ordered, seeing that Xia Chaosheng hadn't come back to his senses, his eyes flustered for a moment, and he hugged him horizontally, "I'm here...don't be afraid."

But where is Xia Chaosheng afraid?

He is the young master of the Hou Mansion. He didn't grow up on a horse since he was a child, but he was accompanied by a horse every day.

Not to mention frightened horses, he has even subdued fierce horses on the grassland.

Xia Chaosheng just couldn't figure it out, how could that Xia Yu, who had been missed by the crown prince for many years and finally became the male queen of Liang, appear in the palace, lying right in front of his carriage? !
