Reborn as a King in the Hand
Chapter 33 Chapter 33
Old Litou and Hei Qi had already interrogated Xia Yu, but Xia Chaosheng said that he would interrogate, Mu Rugui still took him to the execution room.
The dark inner room was smelly, Xia Chaosheng was eager to find out Xia Yu's origin, so he was not afraid, Mu Rugui was not afraid of the mountain of corpses and blood, let alone the small torture chamber.
Mu Rugui just took Xia Chaosheng's hand and carefully covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief: "Slow down."
Xia Chaosheng nodded absentmindedly, all his thoughts were on the shapeless black shadow in the corner of the execution room.
This is Xia Yu who flaunted his might in the previous life?
It was just a puddle of mud, completely different from the person Xia Zhaosheng remembered.
In his memory, Xia Yu always wore an indigo robe with flowing clouds, like a child of a family, with a silver crown and a jade belt around his waist, gentle and refined, unusually elegant.
Mu Ruqi often ridicules that Xia Chaosheng is not as good as Xia Yu, saying that he is arrogant, narrow-minded, intolerant, and unworthy of a posthumous position.
This was the first time Xia Chaosheng saw Xia Yu in such a mess.
He walked over, ignoring the dirt on the ground, leaning over to look carefully at the "mud" on the ground——Xia Yu's face was bloodstained, her eyes were dull, and although she was still panting, her energy was gone.
Where is half of it similar to him?
Seeing that Xia Chaosheng didn't speak, Old Li took the initiative to explain: "I was kicked by a horse's hoof and broke my spine. If it wasn't for the old man and my excellent medical skills, he would have swallowed his breath!"
Xia Chaosheng withdrew his gaze, looked at Old Li, and asked softly, "What did you ask?"
"It's like asking something." Old Li rubbed his hands together, "He always calls 'His Royal Highness' repeatedly, so the origin must have something to do with His Royal Highness."
"His Royal Highness?" Xia Chaosheng clenched his hands violently, pondered for a moment, then turned his eyes on Xia Yu again, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know His Royal Highness?"
The sound in reality overlapped with the dream, Xia Yu shivered and woke up.
He raised his head with difficulty, and through the faint light of the execution room, he vaguely saw Xia Chaosheng's face clearly, and suddenly screamed like crazy: "Ghost!"
In the dream... In the dream, this person obviously drank poisonous wine and died in Fengqi Palace!
How can I still be alive...
How could he be alive!
At the moment Xia Yu went crazy, Mu Rugui protected Xia Chaosheng behind him, and kicked away the limp and twitching figure on the ground.
Xia Yu was numb for a long time, she didn't know the pain, she cried and laughed at the same time: "Ghost...it's a ghost..."
"...you are a ghost! You must be a ghost...don't come to me, don't come to me!"
Seeing this, Old Li hurriedly picked up his military stick again: "My lord?"
Seeing that Xia Yu was kicked away by him, Mu Rugui still wanted to crawl to Xia Chaosheng's feet, so he nodded coldly.
The batons fell, and the screams started again.
The blood splattered and landed on Xia Zhaosheng's jade-like cheeks, and blood-red flowers bloomed instantly.
Mu Rugui frowned slightly, and covered his eyes with his big hands, preventing him from seeing the scene of Xia Yu being tortured.
The corners of Xia Chaosheng's lips curled up and pressed down again.
He thought of his previous life, when Xia's family was broken at the Meridian Gate, but he was trapped in Fengqi Palace, and he didn't even see the last side.
Mu as expected...
Xia Chaosheng's nails dug deeply into his palm.
In today's court, the prince's party is in full swing, even the matter of snatching marriages can be raised high and gently lowered, and they are even prepared to grab the military merits of Xuanjia Iron Cavalry in a grandiose manner.
In the previous life, Xia Chaosheng, who was trapped in Fengqi Palace, did not know how Mu Rugui invaded Shangjing step by step, but today, most of the mysterious armored cavalry stayed in Youyun Sixteen Continents. To hit a stone with an egg.
If he wanted to endure it, so would Uncle Jiu.
After the twenty army sticks were finished, Lao Li stepped aside.
Xia Zhaosheng lowered his eyes, staring at the limp Xia Yu indifferently: "Who are you?"
"Ghost...you are a ghost...I...don't come looking for me..." But what came out of Xia Yu's mouth was still the same nonsense as before.
"Who is the ghost?!"
"You...it's you..." Xia Yu looked at Xia Chaosheng with loose eyes, crying crazily, "You're dead...you're dead...it's me...it's me..."
Xia Yu's voice became weaker and weaker, Xia Chaosheng got very close to hear his ravings.
"It was I who asked His Majesty to imprison you...in Fengqi Palace..." Xia Yu could no longer distinguish dream from reality.
Speaking without intention, the listener is intentional.
Xia Chaosheng's eyes widened in an instant, his heart was filled with turmoil, and regardless of the obstruction of Lao Litou and Mu Rugui, he stretched out his hand to pinch Xia Yu's chin, and asked sharply, "What did you say? Say it again!"
His eyes were scarlet, he vomited a mouthful of blood, and said hoarsely, "Xia Yu, give me..."
Before Xia Chaosheng finished speaking, a big hand suddenly appeared from his waist.
Mu Rugui picked him up domineeringly, and carried him out of the execution room.
Xia Chaosheng struggled to go back, and vomited another mouthful of blood: "Ahem... Uncle Jiu, I haven't finished asking!"
"Since he is crazy, leave it to me."
"Uncle Jiu, you don't understand..." Xia Chaosheng struggled.
He really wanted to find out Xia Yu's true identity.
"It's cold in the execution room, and... such an interrogation will never end." Mu Rugui hugged Xia Chaosheng even tighter, and without explanation, led him back to the bedroom, supervised him to clean his hands, took off his coat, and hugged him for a change. The charcoal-fired hand stove retracted into the quilt before promising, "I will help you."
Xia Chaosheng stared into Mu Rugui's eyes blankly, and nodded with a forced smile after a while: "Okay."
Only then did Mu Rugui leave, and Hong Wu was already waiting in front of the door.
"Look at the door, don't let the princess come out."
Hong Wu was stunned: "My lord, this..."
This... is this a foot ban?
"What's wrong?"
Hong Wu smiled wryly: "You are a prince, there is nothing wrong with doing this."
It's just that within half a day, the news that the young master Xia Chaosheng was grounded by the Nine Princes spread all over the capital, and some people even secretly started a game in the gambling shop, asking whether Xia Chaosheng could live beyond January.
"After one month?" Liang Wang, who was in the imperial city, laughed loudly when he heard Chang Zhong talking about it, "In my opinion, even half a month is difficult."
Chang Zhong said again and again that he took time out of the palace that day and went into the gambling house, but he didn't put Jin Yuanbao on his life.
The people in the gambling shop saw that he was very rude, and they all wanted to make a good relationship, and stepped forward to persuade him.
"My lord, I'm afraid you have just come from outside and don't know anything about going to Beijing... This young master, what he misses is His Royal Highness. Before getting married, he was still kneeling in front of the Holy King's golden palace. He would rather die than accept the marriage offer."
"Yes, yes, I also took that kind of medicine to show my determination... Hey, what a young master, he will never be able to ride a horse and shoot arrows, let alone go to the battlefield!"
"If I were Zhen Guohou, I would definitely be pissed off by him!"
Probably because the game is a foregone conclusion in the eyes of the gamblers, more people came together and chatted: "Actually, I don't blame the young master for making trouble... If it were me, I wouldn't dare marry the Ninth Prince." !"
There was laughter, but no one refuted.
That's right, Mu Rugui, the Ninth Prince of Daliang, not only has a cruel temperament, but also has a crippled leg. How can Xia Chao, who is sick and crooked, survive a month in his mansion?
Chang Zhong smiled and said nothing, and left in a huff after listening to everyone's discussion.
The gambler thought he didn't believe it, and left with a sigh.
Mu Rugui didn't know anything about the gambling house.
He went back to the torture chamber.
Old Li had expected it a long time ago, and cheerfully turned out the instruments of torture hidden behind the wall: "My lord, why do you bother with such trivial matters?"
"The princess cares." Mu Rugui casually clicked on the torture tools on the wall, "Ask."
There are many and cruel methods of torture in the army, but Mu Rugui seemed to be alright. Accompanied by Xia Yu's screams, he lowered his eyes to look at his hands—there were scars and ravines everywhere, and he would hide every time he encountered Chaosheng.
"Is there any medicine for scar removal?"
Old Li stuffed the used iron tongs into the charcoal fire again, and said casually: "Yes, the prince wants to use it for the princess?"
When Xia Chaosheng had scars on his body, Mu Rugui couldn't bear it.
Mu Rugui didn't answer, just said: "Give it to me."
Old Li quickly took out the wound medicine hidden in the torture room, and listed them one by one in front of Mu Rugui: "This is a pain-relieving plaster, this is a scar-removing plaster...My lord, this medicine is very powerful, but it needs to be cut off." The original scars let the wounds grow new flesh. The princess is delicate and weak, I'm afraid I can't bear it... my lord!"
In the middle of talking, Old Li was too shocked to speak.
Mu Rugui fiddled with the dagger in his hand, and urged impatiently: "Continue to interrogate him, and leave me alone."
Old Li's lips trembled, he trembled for a long while, finally got up from the ground, picked up the iron tongs in a panic, and continued to burn Xia Yu's body.
Behind him, in a dark corner, Mu Rugui leaned his back against the wall, scraping off the scar on his palm with a dagger without changing his face.
That hideous, scarred hand was already torn apart and bleeding profusely, but Mu Rugui's expression gradually relaxed.
Xia Chaosheng thought it hurt, so he dug out the scar and let the wound grow back.
It's just a pain, but the wound medicine in Fuchu is very effective. After three or four days, there will be no more horrible and raised scars on his hands, and if he touches Zhaosheng again... he won't be avoided, right?
"My lord, the interrogation is out." After an unknown amount of time, when Mu Rugui had bandaged his hands, Old Li finally pried open Xia Yu's mouth, "He said there was a jade pendant."
"What jade pendant?"
"Subordinates don't know."
"Go find it."
Old Li headed away under the command, rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the side courtyard where his attendants lived, and finally found a jade pendant with handwriting on it.
It seems to be a vague word for "summer".
"My lord, is he also a member of the Xia clan?"
Mu Rugui shook his head slowly: "If it's a member of the Xia clan, he was tortured just now, why didn't he say anything?"
Old Li couldn't tell why, so he simply scooped up a basin of cold water and poured all of it on Xia Yu's face.
Xia Yu woke up again.
He was in so much pain that he lost his mind, and muttered in his mouth: "It was His Royal Highness who asked me to come... His Royal Highness asked me to come!"
"The prince asked you to come, so you come?" Old Li smiled strangely and waved the iron tongs.
Sparks fell on Xia Yu's bloody face, and he rolled on the floor in pain, crying, "Your Highness...Your Highness!"
"My lord." Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Old Li stepped back half a step.
Mu Rugui walked over and picked up Xia Yu with one hand: "What do you have to do with Zhen Guohou's mansion!"
Xia Yu shuddered suddenly, and the eyes blurred by blood gradually gathered a little light: "I am..."
Then he saw Mu Rugui's face clearly.
The man's face with sharp lines was clouded with clouds, fierce and majestic, like an ancient God of War, with two spots of blood jumping in his eyes.
"Ah!" A shrill scream echoed in the execution room.
Xia Yu was even crazier than when he saw Xia Chaosheng, he twitched and avoided Mu Rugui's hand, even lowered his head, bit his own wrist, he would rather give up one hand than be caught by Mu Rugui.
"Don't kill me...don't kill me!"
Xia Yu didn't know what he was afraid of, Mu Rugui didn't appear in the dream after fainting, but the fear went deep into his bone marrow, making him go crazy uncontrollably.
"My lord..." Seeing that the situation was not going well, Old Li quickly stepped forward and snatched Xia Yu away from Mu Rugui, "If there is another trial, my subordinates will not be able to save his life."
"Forget it." Mu Rugui withdrew his hand disapprovingly, "Let it go."
Old Li understood and withdrew without saying a word.
Mu Rugui used a handkerchief to wash away the blood from between his fingers, then bandaged it again, and finally changed his clothes in a hurry to make sure that there was no bloody smell on his body before he opened the door and walked into the bedroom.
Xia Chaosheng rushed over anxiously: "Is there any result?"
He thought about it for a while in the room, first he felt that Xia Yu had the same adventure of rebirth as himself, but soon, he denied such a thought.
If Xia Yu was really reborn, he would definitely not be so stupid as to abandon Mu Ruqi, who made him a male queen, and look for Mu Rugui, who is very likely to rebel in the future.
But then again, if Xia Yu hadn't been reborn, how could he say "I asked His Majesty to lock you up in Fengqi Palace"?
Xia Chaosheng seemed to be splashed from head to toe by a basin of cold water.
Perhaps, Xia Yu has not been reborn, but there are people like him in this world.
Seeing that he was distracted, Mu Rugui passed the jade pendant with his uncut hand: "Is this the jade token of your Marquis Mansion?"
Xia Chaosheng took it in a daze, then shook his head: "I have never heard my father mention that there is such a jade plaque in the Hou Mansion."
Mu Rugui sat on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, tentatively touching Xia Chaosheng's hand with his fingers, and seeing that he didn't dodge, he confidently took his hand.
Xia Chaosheng leaned on Uncle Jiu's strong chest and muttered, "Uncle Jiu, what are you going to do with Xia Yu?" "What do you want?" Mu Rugui asked him in turn.
"...Keep him alive and lock him up in the punishment room." Xia Chaosheng thought of all the things in his previous life, and he refused to let Xia Yu go easily, "Since he has a jade tablet engraved with the word 'Xia' in his hand, it may be related to the Hou Mansion .”
You know, in the past, Xia Yu used the banner of being his concubine brother to become his successor.
Now, Xia Chaosheng wants to find out the truth.
He didn't believe that his father had a concubine outside, but at that time the entire family of the Xia family had been beheaded under the Meridian Gate, no matter how many questions he had, there was no one to ask.
Now is a good opportunity for interrogation, but Xia Yu looked crazy.
Mu Rugui's big rough hand slid onto Xia Chaosheng's waist without anyone noticing it, and walked slowly, the soft touch caused his Adam's apple to roll slightly, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Zhen Guohou is not like a person who raises an outsider. .”
Xia Chaosheng raised his head dumbly: "You know what I'm worried about?"
Mu Rugui pursed his lips: "Generally, the engraved jade plaque is a status symbol of the clan's children. When you see the jade plaque in his hand, you will naturally guess whether he has the blood of the Marquis."
Currently, Xia Chaosheng is the only one in the Xia clan, if suddenly there is another person, even if he doesn't want to, he can only cast suspicious eyes on his father.
But Xia Rongshan and Mrs. Pei have a deep affection, everyone in Daliang knows that Xia Chaosheng has lived with them for more than ten years, just guessing is enough to make him sad.
Mu Rugui didn't want to see Xia Chaosheng sad, so he pinched his waist and held him in his arms: "There must be something hidden about this matter."
This is already the most straightforward concern that Daliang's decisive, ruthless and ruthless Ninth Prince can express.
"If you want to know what he intends to do... There is actually another way." Mu Rugui saw that his brows were frowning, and couldn't help but reveal his plan, "Find a reason to let him go and send someone to follow you." .”
Rather than locking Xia Yu in the torture chamber and torture him severely, it is better to let him think that he escaped from the sky and take them to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.
Xia Chaosheng thought about it carefully, and felt that it was reasonable, so excited that he almost fell under the couch.
Mu Rugui fished him back quickly with quick eyesight and hands, not letting him move around, and let him lie on his side with his lap on his head.
The overly intimate posture made Xia Chaosheng stunned, and for a moment, a clean and dazzling smile flashed across his fox eyes.
Xia Chaosheng put his arms around Mu Rugui's neck and leaned on him docilely: "Uncle Jiu, thank you."
"There is no need to say thank you between you and me."
"You don't understand." He sighed faintly.
Xia Chaosheng once lost all his clansmen and became a ghost in the world. Only Uncle Jiu remembered him.
In this life, Uncle Jiu is still his reliance.
"Uncle Jiu, you don't have to do anything to avoid me from now on." Xia Chaosheng's fingers groped along Mu Rugui's wrist, and when he tried to interlock his fingers, he paused slightly.
Mu Rugui couldn't dodge in time, and was caught by Xia Chaosheng.
"How... how could you get hurt?!" He held Uncle Jiu's left hand tremblingly, the piece of fine cloth wrapped around the tiger's mouth was already soaked in blood, with specks of blood leaking out.
"Is it Xia Yu?!" Xia Chao was angry and confused, and he didn't want to think about Xia Yu's current situation. It was absolutely impossible to hurt Mu Rugui, and even if Xia Yu was not injured, he would never hurt Mu Rugui. possible.
He got up from the couch angrily, didn't even listen to Mu Rugui's explanation, kicked open the door, and rushed into the torture room amidst Hong Wu's screams.
"Princess?" Hong Wu looked blankly at the prince who was thrown in the bedroom and put on his boots in a hurry, and hurriedly chased Xia Chaosheng who had run away.
Xia Chaosheng had just vomited blood, his body was weak, and he was caught up by Hong Wu after two steps.
"Princess, don't hurt yourself when you quarrel with the prince!" The attendant didn't know what he was angry about, but thought that Mu Rugui had said something wrong again, "Slow down!"
Xia Chaosheng opened his mouth, choked it in, his mouth was full of wind, he let out a series of coughs, and then said in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing with the prince?"
"Look, you're talking angry again."
"I..." Before Xia Chao could finish his sentence, Mu Rugui rushed over and took him into his arms.
"Nonsense!" Mu Rugui helplessly wrapped the cloak for him.
Xia Chaosheng didn't dare to let Uncle Jiu do anything, grabbed the cloak with red eyes, stared at Mu Rugui's hand for a while, coughed and ran to the execution room again.
Mu Rugui had no choice but to chase after him, watching helplessly as Xia Yu, who had just been pretended to be released by Old Li, was kicked back by Xia Chaosheng.
Taking advantage of Lao Li's head "dozing off", Xia Yu, who thought he had escaped from the sky, vomited blood and flew back backwards before seeing the sun outside the execution room, collapsed on the ground and twitched again and again.
"Princess?!" Old Li followed the sound and rushed over, dumbfounded.
It stands to reason that Xia Chaosheng took the Yizi medicine, and the kung fu he had practiced before was useless, but Xia Yu, who had been tortured, was worse than him, and this kick used real strength, so it had such an effect.
Old Li couldn't laugh or cry.
According to Mu Rugui's plan, Old Li would find Xia Yu who was trying to escape, beat him up, and then treat him as a "dead person" and throw him outside the mansion.
In this way, when Xia Yu wakes up, she will definitely find the person behind the scenes and seek shelter.
As long as the palace sends people to follow, it will be able to catch the handle of the prince and his followers.
But no one expected that Xia Chaosheng had completed more than half of the plan before Old Li made a move.
Xia Chaosheng didn't expect his kick to be so powerful, so he was stunned, and his first reaction was to turn to look at Mu Rugui.
Mu Rugui held back a smile and pulled him back into his arms, coaxing him softly, "Don't be afraid."
"...It's just a kick, you can't die."
"But...but you just said..." Xia Chaosheng came to his senses, recalled the plan that Mu Rugui just said, and reacted slowly, "How could he hurt you?"
"Uncle Jiu, how did your hand get hurt?!"
Hearing the words, Old Li Tou who was standing aside curled his lips, and was glared at by Hong Wu. He suppressed his words, hooked his neck, and watched the prince coaxing the princess in surprise.
In fact, Mu Rugui doesn't know how to coax people, he just pretends to be dumb.
Xia Chaosheng asked questions, and he answered what he could answer, and if he couldn't answer, he reached out and touched Xia Chaosheng's ears and cheeks until he couldn't speak, and then reluctantly let go.
And Xia Yu, who was crooked in the corner, was woken up by the cold wind outside the execution room.
He had already forgotten the nonsense he said when he was tortured, and the dream when he was unconscious.
He looked at Xia Chaosheng and Mu Rugui like a ghost.
Everyone said that the young master of Zhen Guohou's mansion would rather die than marry into the palace, but what is the scene in front of him? !
Xia Yu remembered what the prince said when he followed him to lure her into the palace, jealousy and remorse gushed out of her heart.
Fake, all fake.
It must be fake!
Xia Chaosheng wanted to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could he care about the Ninth Prince?
Xia Yu got up from the ground in embarrassment, using both hands and feet, and crawled out of the execution room.
He didn't believe his eyes, he just felt that everything was a nightmare.
Obviously... the one standing there, hugged by the Ninth Prince, should be him.
Thick and blackened blood dripped on the ground, and soon condensed into ugly icicles.
"My lord, you...look at my face..." Xia Yu finally climbed to the door of the execution room, her hoarse voice was like a broken bellows.
He leaned against the door of the execution room, his eyes full of longing.
He looks so similar to Xia Chao, if the Ninth Prince saw his face, how could he not feel distressed?
But when everyone's eyes fell on Xia Yu's face, they all looked away in disgust—a bloody, dirty and ugly face, who would want to look at it more?
Xia Yu didn't know that her face was ruined, and she was still muttering to herself: "I...I can replace him, Ninth Prince, I can really replace...ah!"
Xia Yu was kicked back to the execution room again, this time it was Mu Rugui who kicked him.
"I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth." Mu Rugui put his arms around Xia Chaosheng, frowned impatiently and looked at Old Li, "Beating to death with sticks and throwing him out of the house."
A knowing light flashed in Old Li's eyes, and he walked towards Xia Yu with a stick in his hand.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Xia Yu exerted her last strength and said with a ferocious smile: "Xia Chaosheng, do you know... do you know that in the palace... there are..."
Old Li's expression changed suddenly, and he rushed forward, trying to cover Xia Yu's mouth.
But he was one step too late.
Xia Yu had already spat out a mouthful of black blood, and shouted: "You are pregnant concubine Ji, I... I saw it with my own eyes when I entered the palace, you... whoever you marry is just a joke!"
"Concubine Ji?"
Mu Rugui wanted to cover Xia Chaosheng's ears, but it was too late.
He looked suspiciously at Xia Yu who was being dragged into the execution room, then raised his head and winked at Mu Rugui who had a stiff face.
"Chaosheng, listen to my explanation." Mu Rugui couldn't take care of anyone else anymore, he grabbed Xia Chaosheng's hand, and said in a rare urgent tone, "I only want you in this life."
That was not his concubine Ji, but Yue Ji who was rescued from the water by Bai Liu and was pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood.
The author has something to say: Xia·Although he vomits blood, he can still kick people away·Chaosheng

The dark inner room was smelly, Xia Chaosheng was eager to find out Xia Yu's origin, so he was not afraid, Mu Rugui was not afraid of the mountain of corpses and blood, let alone the small torture chamber.
Mu Rugui just took Xia Chaosheng's hand and carefully covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief: "Slow down."
Xia Chaosheng nodded absentmindedly, all his thoughts were on the shapeless black shadow in the corner of the execution room.
This is Xia Yu who flaunted his might in the previous life?
It was just a puddle of mud, completely different from the person Xia Zhaosheng remembered.
In his memory, Xia Yu always wore an indigo robe with flowing clouds, like a child of a family, with a silver crown and a jade belt around his waist, gentle and refined, unusually elegant.
Mu Ruqi often ridicules that Xia Chaosheng is not as good as Xia Yu, saying that he is arrogant, narrow-minded, intolerant, and unworthy of a posthumous position.
This was the first time Xia Chaosheng saw Xia Yu in such a mess.
He walked over, ignoring the dirt on the ground, leaning over to look carefully at the "mud" on the ground——Xia Yu's face was bloodstained, her eyes were dull, and although she was still panting, her energy was gone.
Where is half of it similar to him?
Seeing that Xia Chaosheng didn't speak, Old Li took the initiative to explain: "I was kicked by a horse's hoof and broke my spine. If it wasn't for the old man and my excellent medical skills, he would have swallowed his breath!"
Xia Chaosheng withdrew his gaze, looked at Old Li, and asked softly, "What did you ask?"
"It's like asking something." Old Li rubbed his hands together, "He always calls 'His Royal Highness' repeatedly, so the origin must have something to do with His Royal Highness."
"His Royal Highness?" Xia Chaosheng clenched his hands violently, pondered for a moment, then turned his eyes on Xia Yu again, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know His Royal Highness?"
The sound in reality overlapped with the dream, Xia Yu shivered and woke up.
He raised his head with difficulty, and through the faint light of the execution room, he vaguely saw Xia Chaosheng's face clearly, and suddenly screamed like crazy: "Ghost!"
In the dream... In the dream, this person obviously drank poisonous wine and died in Fengqi Palace!
How can I still be alive...
How could he be alive!
At the moment Xia Yu went crazy, Mu Rugui protected Xia Chaosheng behind him, and kicked away the limp and twitching figure on the ground.
Xia Yu was numb for a long time, she didn't know the pain, she cried and laughed at the same time: "Ghost...it's a ghost..."
"...you are a ghost! You must be a ghost...don't come to me, don't come to me!"
Seeing this, Old Li hurriedly picked up his military stick again: "My lord?"
Seeing that Xia Yu was kicked away by him, Mu Rugui still wanted to crawl to Xia Chaosheng's feet, so he nodded coldly.
The batons fell, and the screams started again.
The blood splattered and landed on Xia Zhaosheng's jade-like cheeks, and blood-red flowers bloomed instantly.
Mu Rugui frowned slightly, and covered his eyes with his big hands, preventing him from seeing the scene of Xia Yu being tortured.
The corners of Xia Chaosheng's lips curled up and pressed down again.
He thought of his previous life, when Xia's family was broken at the Meridian Gate, but he was trapped in Fengqi Palace, and he didn't even see the last side.
Mu as expected...
Xia Chaosheng's nails dug deeply into his palm.
In today's court, the prince's party is in full swing, even the matter of snatching marriages can be raised high and gently lowered, and they are even prepared to grab the military merits of Xuanjia Iron Cavalry in a grandiose manner.
In the previous life, Xia Chaosheng, who was trapped in Fengqi Palace, did not know how Mu Rugui invaded Shangjing step by step, but today, most of the mysterious armored cavalry stayed in Youyun Sixteen Continents. To hit a stone with an egg.
If he wanted to endure it, so would Uncle Jiu.
After the twenty army sticks were finished, Lao Li stepped aside.
Xia Zhaosheng lowered his eyes, staring at the limp Xia Yu indifferently: "Who are you?"
"Ghost...you are a ghost...I...don't come looking for me..." But what came out of Xia Yu's mouth was still the same nonsense as before.
"Who is the ghost?!"
"You...it's you..." Xia Yu looked at Xia Chaosheng with loose eyes, crying crazily, "You're dead...you're dead...it's me...it's me..."
Xia Yu's voice became weaker and weaker, Xia Chaosheng got very close to hear his ravings.
"It was I who asked His Majesty to imprison you...in Fengqi Palace..." Xia Yu could no longer distinguish dream from reality.
Speaking without intention, the listener is intentional.
Xia Chaosheng's eyes widened in an instant, his heart was filled with turmoil, and regardless of the obstruction of Lao Litou and Mu Rugui, he stretched out his hand to pinch Xia Yu's chin, and asked sharply, "What did you say? Say it again!"
His eyes were scarlet, he vomited a mouthful of blood, and said hoarsely, "Xia Yu, give me..."
Before Xia Chaosheng finished speaking, a big hand suddenly appeared from his waist.
Mu Rugui picked him up domineeringly, and carried him out of the execution room.
Xia Chaosheng struggled to go back, and vomited another mouthful of blood: "Ahem... Uncle Jiu, I haven't finished asking!"
"Since he is crazy, leave it to me."
"Uncle Jiu, you don't understand..." Xia Chaosheng struggled.
He really wanted to find out Xia Yu's true identity.
"It's cold in the execution room, and... such an interrogation will never end." Mu Rugui hugged Xia Chaosheng even tighter, and without explanation, led him back to the bedroom, supervised him to clean his hands, took off his coat, and hugged him for a change. The charcoal-fired hand stove retracted into the quilt before promising, "I will help you."
Xia Chaosheng stared into Mu Rugui's eyes blankly, and nodded with a forced smile after a while: "Okay."
Only then did Mu Rugui leave, and Hong Wu was already waiting in front of the door.
"Look at the door, don't let the princess come out."
Hong Wu was stunned: "My lord, this..."
This... is this a foot ban?
"What's wrong?"
Hong Wu smiled wryly: "You are a prince, there is nothing wrong with doing this."
It's just that within half a day, the news that the young master Xia Chaosheng was grounded by the Nine Princes spread all over the capital, and some people even secretly started a game in the gambling shop, asking whether Xia Chaosheng could live beyond January.
"After one month?" Liang Wang, who was in the imperial city, laughed loudly when he heard Chang Zhong talking about it, "In my opinion, even half a month is difficult."
Chang Zhong said again and again that he took time out of the palace that day and went into the gambling house, but he didn't put Jin Yuanbao on his life.
The people in the gambling shop saw that he was very rude, and they all wanted to make a good relationship, and stepped forward to persuade him.
"My lord, I'm afraid you have just come from outside and don't know anything about going to Beijing... This young master, what he misses is His Royal Highness. Before getting married, he was still kneeling in front of the Holy King's golden palace. He would rather die than accept the marriage offer."
"Yes, yes, I also took that kind of medicine to show my determination... Hey, what a young master, he will never be able to ride a horse and shoot arrows, let alone go to the battlefield!"
"If I were Zhen Guohou, I would definitely be pissed off by him!"
Probably because the game is a foregone conclusion in the eyes of the gamblers, more people came together and chatted: "Actually, I don't blame the young master for making trouble... If it were me, I wouldn't dare marry the Ninth Prince." !"
There was laughter, but no one refuted.
That's right, Mu Rugui, the Ninth Prince of Daliang, not only has a cruel temperament, but also has a crippled leg. How can Xia Chao, who is sick and crooked, survive a month in his mansion?
Chang Zhong smiled and said nothing, and left in a huff after listening to everyone's discussion.
The gambler thought he didn't believe it, and left with a sigh.
Mu Rugui didn't know anything about the gambling house.
He went back to the torture chamber.
Old Li had expected it a long time ago, and cheerfully turned out the instruments of torture hidden behind the wall: "My lord, why do you bother with such trivial matters?"
"The princess cares." Mu Rugui casually clicked on the torture tools on the wall, "Ask."
There are many and cruel methods of torture in the army, but Mu Rugui seemed to be alright. Accompanied by Xia Yu's screams, he lowered his eyes to look at his hands—there were scars and ravines everywhere, and he would hide every time he encountered Chaosheng.
"Is there any medicine for scar removal?"
Old Li stuffed the used iron tongs into the charcoal fire again, and said casually: "Yes, the prince wants to use it for the princess?"
When Xia Chaosheng had scars on his body, Mu Rugui couldn't bear it.
Mu Rugui didn't answer, just said: "Give it to me."
Old Li quickly took out the wound medicine hidden in the torture room, and listed them one by one in front of Mu Rugui: "This is a pain-relieving plaster, this is a scar-removing plaster...My lord, this medicine is very powerful, but it needs to be cut off." The original scars let the wounds grow new flesh. The princess is delicate and weak, I'm afraid I can't bear it... my lord!"
In the middle of talking, Old Li was too shocked to speak.
Mu Rugui fiddled with the dagger in his hand, and urged impatiently: "Continue to interrogate him, and leave me alone."
Old Li's lips trembled, he trembled for a long while, finally got up from the ground, picked up the iron tongs in a panic, and continued to burn Xia Yu's body.
Behind him, in a dark corner, Mu Rugui leaned his back against the wall, scraping off the scar on his palm with a dagger without changing his face.
That hideous, scarred hand was already torn apart and bleeding profusely, but Mu Rugui's expression gradually relaxed.
Xia Chaosheng thought it hurt, so he dug out the scar and let the wound grow back.
It's just a pain, but the wound medicine in Fuchu is very effective. After three or four days, there will be no more horrible and raised scars on his hands, and if he touches Zhaosheng again... he won't be avoided, right?
"My lord, the interrogation is out." After an unknown amount of time, when Mu Rugui had bandaged his hands, Old Li finally pried open Xia Yu's mouth, "He said there was a jade pendant."
"What jade pendant?"
"Subordinates don't know."
"Go find it."
Old Li headed away under the command, rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the side courtyard where his attendants lived, and finally found a jade pendant with handwriting on it.
It seems to be a vague word for "summer".
"My lord, is he also a member of the Xia clan?"
Mu Rugui shook his head slowly: "If it's a member of the Xia clan, he was tortured just now, why didn't he say anything?"
Old Li couldn't tell why, so he simply scooped up a basin of cold water and poured all of it on Xia Yu's face.
Xia Yu woke up again.
He was in so much pain that he lost his mind, and muttered in his mouth: "It was His Royal Highness who asked me to come... His Royal Highness asked me to come!"
"The prince asked you to come, so you come?" Old Li smiled strangely and waved the iron tongs.
Sparks fell on Xia Yu's bloody face, and he rolled on the floor in pain, crying, "Your Highness...Your Highness!"
"My lord." Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Old Li stepped back half a step.
Mu Rugui walked over and picked up Xia Yu with one hand: "What do you have to do with Zhen Guohou's mansion!"
Xia Yu shuddered suddenly, and the eyes blurred by blood gradually gathered a little light: "I am..."
Then he saw Mu Rugui's face clearly.
The man's face with sharp lines was clouded with clouds, fierce and majestic, like an ancient God of War, with two spots of blood jumping in his eyes.
"Ah!" A shrill scream echoed in the execution room.
Xia Yu was even crazier than when he saw Xia Chaosheng, he twitched and avoided Mu Rugui's hand, even lowered his head, bit his own wrist, he would rather give up one hand than be caught by Mu Rugui.
"Don't kill me...don't kill me!"
Xia Yu didn't know what he was afraid of, Mu Rugui didn't appear in the dream after fainting, but the fear went deep into his bone marrow, making him go crazy uncontrollably.
"My lord..." Seeing that the situation was not going well, Old Li quickly stepped forward and snatched Xia Yu away from Mu Rugui, "If there is another trial, my subordinates will not be able to save his life."
"Forget it." Mu Rugui withdrew his hand disapprovingly, "Let it go."
Old Li understood and withdrew without saying a word.
Mu Rugui used a handkerchief to wash away the blood from between his fingers, then bandaged it again, and finally changed his clothes in a hurry to make sure that there was no bloody smell on his body before he opened the door and walked into the bedroom.
Xia Chaosheng rushed over anxiously: "Is there any result?"
He thought about it for a while in the room, first he felt that Xia Yu had the same adventure of rebirth as himself, but soon, he denied such a thought.
If Xia Yu was really reborn, he would definitely not be so stupid as to abandon Mu Ruqi, who made him a male queen, and look for Mu Rugui, who is very likely to rebel in the future.
But then again, if Xia Yu hadn't been reborn, how could he say "I asked His Majesty to lock you up in Fengqi Palace"?
Xia Chaosheng seemed to be splashed from head to toe by a basin of cold water.
Perhaps, Xia Yu has not been reborn, but there are people like him in this world.
Seeing that he was distracted, Mu Rugui passed the jade pendant with his uncut hand: "Is this the jade token of your Marquis Mansion?"
Xia Chaosheng took it in a daze, then shook his head: "I have never heard my father mention that there is such a jade plaque in the Hou Mansion."
Mu Rugui sat on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, tentatively touching Xia Chaosheng's hand with his fingers, and seeing that he didn't dodge, he confidently took his hand.
Xia Chaosheng leaned on Uncle Jiu's strong chest and muttered, "Uncle Jiu, what are you going to do with Xia Yu?" "What do you want?" Mu Rugui asked him in turn.
"...Keep him alive and lock him up in the punishment room." Xia Chaosheng thought of all the things in his previous life, and he refused to let Xia Yu go easily, "Since he has a jade tablet engraved with the word 'Xia' in his hand, it may be related to the Hou Mansion .”
You know, in the past, Xia Yu used the banner of being his concubine brother to become his successor.
Now, Xia Chaosheng wants to find out the truth.
He didn't believe that his father had a concubine outside, but at that time the entire family of the Xia family had been beheaded under the Meridian Gate, no matter how many questions he had, there was no one to ask.
Now is a good opportunity for interrogation, but Xia Yu looked crazy.
Mu Rugui's big rough hand slid onto Xia Chaosheng's waist without anyone noticing it, and walked slowly, the soft touch caused his Adam's apple to roll slightly, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Zhen Guohou is not like a person who raises an outsider. .”
Xia Chaosheng raised his head dumbly: "You know what I'm worried about?"
Mu Rugui pursed his lips: "Generally, the engraved jade plaque is a status symbol of the clan's children. When you see the jade plaque in his hand, you will naturally guess whether he has the blood of the Marquis."
Currently, Xia Chaosheng is the only one in the Xia clan, if suddenly there is another person, even if he doesn't want to, he can only cast suspicious eyes on his father.
But Xia Rongshan and Mrs. Pei have a deep affection, everyone in Daliang knows that Xia Chaosheng has lived with them for more than ten years, just guessing is enough to make him sad.
Mu Rugui didn't want to see Xia Chaosheng sad, so he pinched his waist and held him in his arms: "There must be something hidden about this matter."
This is already the most straightforward concern that Daliang's decisive, ruthless and ruthless Ninth Prince can express.
"If you want to know what he intends to do... There is actually another way." Mu Rugui saw that his brows were frowning, and couldn't help but reveal his plan, "Find a reason to let him go and send someone to follow you." .”
Rather than locking Xia Yu in the torture chamber and torture him severely, it is better to let him think that he escaped from the sky and take them to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.
Xia Chaosheng thought about it carefully, and felt that it was reasonable, so excited that he almost fell under the couch.
Mu Rugui fished him back quickly with quick eyesight and hands, not letting him move around, and let him lie on his side with his lap on his head.
The overly intimate posture made Xia Chaosheng stunned, and for a moment, a clean and dazzling smile flashed across his fox eyes.
Xia Chaosheng put his arms around Mu Rugui's neck and leaned on him docilely: "Uncle Jiu, thank you."
"There is no need to say thank you between you and me."
"You don't understand." He sighed faintly.
Xia Chaosheng once lost all his clansmen and became a ghost in the world. Only Uncle Jiu remembered him.
In this life, Uncle Jiu is still his reliance.
"Uncle Jiu, you don't have to do anything to avoid me from now on." Xia Chaosheng's fingers groped along Mu Rugui's wrist, and when he tried to interlock his fingers, he paused slightly.
Mu Rugui couldn't dodge in time, and was caught by Xia Chaosheng.
"How... how could you get hurt?!" He held Uncle Jiu's left hand tremblingly, the piece of fine cloth wrapped around the tiger's mouth was already soaked in blood, with specks of blood leaking out.
"Is it Xia Yu?!" Xia Chao was angry and confused, and he didn't want to think about Xia Yu's current situation. It was absolutely impossible to hurt Mu Rugui, and even if Xia Yu was not injured, he would never hurt Mu Rugui. possible.
He got up from the couch angrily, didn't even listen to Mu Rugui's explanation, kicked open the door, and rushed into the torture room amidst Hong Wu's screams.
"Princess?" Hong Wu looked blankly at the prince who was thrown in the bedroom and put on his boots in a hurry, and hurriedly chased Xia Chaosheng who had run away.
Xia Chaosheng had just vomited blood, his body was weak, and he was caught up by Hong Wu after two steps.
"Princess, don't hurt yourself when you quarrel with the prince!" The attendant didn't know what he was angry about, but thought that Mu Rugui had said something wrong again, "Slow down!"
Xia Chaosheng opened his mouth, choked it in, his mouth was full of wind, he let out a series of coughs, and then said in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing with the prince?"
"Look, you're talking angry again."
"I..." Before Xia Chao could finish his sentence, Mu Rugui rushed over and took him into his arms.
"Nonsense!" Mu Rugui helplessly wrapped the cloak for him.
Xia Chaosheng didn't dare to let Uncle Jiu do anything, grabbed the cloak with red eyes, stared at Mu Rugui's hand for a while, coughed and ran to the execution room again.
Mu Rugui had no choice but to chase after him, watching helplessly as Xia Yu, who had just been pretended to be released by Old Li, was kicked back by Xia Chaosheng.
Taking advantage of Lao Li's head "dozing off", Xia Yu, who thought he had escaped from the sky, vomited blood and flew back backwards before seeing the sun outside the execution room, collapsed on the ground and twitched again and again.
"Princess?!" Old Li followed the sound and rushed over, dumbfounded.
It stands to reason that Xia Chaosheng took the Yizi medicine, and the kung fu he had practiced before was useless, but Xia Yu, who had been tortured, was worse than him, and this kick used real strength, so it had such an effect.
Old Li couldn't laugh or cry.
According to Mu Rugui's plan, Old Li would find Xia Yu who was trying to escape, beat him up, and then treat him as a "dead person" and throw him outside the mansion.
In this way, when Xia Yu wakes up, she will definitely find the person behind the scenes and seek shelter.
As long as the palace sends people to follow, it will be able to catch the handle of the prince and his followers.
But no one expected that Xia Chaosheng had completed more than half of the plan before Old Li made a move.
Xia Chaosheng didn't expect his kick to be so powerful, so he was stunned, and his first reaction was to turn to look at Mu Rugui.
Mu Rugui held back a smile and pulled him back into his arms, coaxing him softly, "Don't be afraid."
"...It's just a kick, you can't die."
"But...but you just said..." Xia Chaosheng came to his senses, recalled the plan that Mu Rugui just said, and reacted slowly, "How could he hurt you?"
"Uncle Jiu, how did your hand get hurt?!"
Hearing the words, Old Li Tou who was standing aside curled his lips, and was glared at by Hong Wu. He suppressed his words, hooked his neck, and watched the prince coaxing the princess in surprise.
In fact, Mu Rugui doesn't know how to coax people, he just pretends to be dumb.
Xia Chaosheng asked questions, and he answered what he could answer, and if he couldn't answer, he reached out and touched Xia Chaosheng's ears and cheeks until he couldn't speak, and then reluctantly let go.
And Xia Yu, who was crooked in the corner, was woken up by the cold wind outside the execution room.
He had already forgotten the nonsense he said when he was tortured, and the dream when he was unconscious.
He looked at Xia Chaosheng and Mu Rugui like a ghost.
Everyone said that the young master of Zhen Guohou's mansion would rather die than marry into the palace, but what is the scene in front of him? !
Xia Yu remembered what the prince said when he followed him to lure her into the palace, jealousy and remorse gushed out of her heart.
Fake, all fake.
It must be fake!
Xia Chaosheng wanted to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could he care about the Ninth Prince?
Xia Yu got up from the ground in embarrassment, using both hands and feet, and crawled out of the execution room.
He didn't believe his eyes, he just felt that everything was a nightmare.
Obviously... the one standing there, hugged by the Ninth Prince, should be him.
Thick and blackened blood dripped on the ground, and soon condensed into ugly icicles.
"My lord, you...look at my face..." Xia Yu finally climbed to the door of the execution room, her hoarse voice was like a broken bellows.
He leaned against the door of the execution room, his eyes full of longing.
He looks so similar to Xia Chao, if the Ninth Prince saw his face, how could he not feel distressed?
But when everyone's eyes fell on Xia Yu's face, they all looked away in disgust—a bloody, dirty and ugly face, who would want to look at it more?
Xia Yu didn't know that her face was ruined, and she was still muttering to herself: "I...I can replace him, Ninth Prince, I can really replace...ah!"
Xia Yu was kicked back to the execution room again, this time it was Mu Rugui who kicked him.
"I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth." Mu Rugui put his arms around Xia Chaosheng, frowned impatiently and looked at Old Li, "Beating to death with sticks and throwing him out of the house."
A knowing light flashed in Old Li's eyes, and he walked towards Xia Yu with a stick in his hand.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Xia Yu exerted her last strength and said with a ferocious smile: "Xia Chaosheng, do you know... do you know that in the palace... there are..."
Old Li's expression changed suddenly, and he rushed forward, trying to cover Xia Yu's mouth.
But he was one step too late.
Xia Yu had already spat out a mouthful of black blood, and shouted: "You are pregnant concubine Ji, I... I saw it with my own eyes when I entered the palace, you... whoever you marry is just a joke!"
"Concubine Ji?"
Mu Rugui wanted to cover Xia Chaosheng's ears, but it was too late.
He looked suspiciously at Xia Yu who was being dragged into the execution room, then raised his head and winked at Mu Rugui who had a stiff face.
"Chaosheng, listen to my explanation." Mu Rugui couldn't take care of anyone else anymore, he grabbed Xia Chaosheng's hand, and said in a rare urgent tone, "I only want you in this life."
That was not his concubine Ji, but Yue Ji who was rescued from the water by Bai Liu and was pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood.
The author has something to say: Xia·Although he vomits blood, he can still kick people away·Chaosheng
