Reborn as a King in the Hand

Conceal, deceive, suspect...

Xia Chaosheng's back was sweating like a waterfall.

After what happened to Baihu, his relationship with Mu Ruqi suddenly became close.

Mu Ru expects that when a person is good, he can pretend to be perfect without revealing any flaws, just like how he is so obviously hypocritical that courtiers and even the common people can't say a bad word about him when they mention him.

It's not that Xia Chaosheng never mentioned the arrow in the woods.

It was like an arrow shot by a god, he thought to himself, he couldn't shoot it so accurately.

But every time Mu Ruqi heard him mention the white tiger, pain would well up in his eyes, and then he took his hand and said, "Fortunately, that arrow...if it misses by a tiny bit, what should you do alone?"

Because of this incident, Mu Ruqi never touched a bow and arrow again, and even resisted riding a horse for a while.

Xia Chaosheng's heart ached, and he understood that Mu Ruqi had been frightened.

But Mu Ruqi comforted him instead: "With you here, even if I can't shoot bows and arrows for the rest of my life, what's the problem?"

This kind of comfort reached Xia Chaosheng's ears, which was another burden.

It was also the opportunity for him to willingly swallow Yizi medicine later.

He thought that Mu Ruqi's shadow on riding and shooting was for the sake of saving himself, so he willingly "returned" a healthy body.

Facts have proved that Xia Chaosheng was wrong, and he was very wrong.

Baihu's eyes were not shot by Mu Ruqi at all.

After figuring this out, for a moment, Xia Chaosheng's heart was filled with hatred.

But soon, he heard Mu Rugui's voice: "Having a nightmare?"

He let out an "ah" blankly, waking up like a dream.

He is no longer Xia Chaosheng who was kept in the dark in his previous life.

He returned to his first life and married Uncle Jiu, and now he is lying on the couch, staring at the flowing green gauze bed curtain in a daze.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Mu Rugui wiped off the cold sweat from Xia Chaosheng's forehead, frowned and said, "Change your clothes and rest."

He nodded in a daze: "Okay."

Mu Rugui called Xia Hua in, told her to get the clean underwear, and then asked nonchalantly, "What did you dream about?"

Xia Chaosheng pressed his eyebrows wearily: "Baihu."

Mu Rugui was stunned, and there was sporadic surprise in his eyes: "But the one you met on the way back from the previous sacrifice?"

He nodded.

"It's blinded in both eyes." Mu Rugui waited for Xia Hua to bring clean underwear, then said softly, "There's nothing to be afraid of."

Xia Chaosheng walked behind the screen, heard the words, and wondered, "Why are you blind in both eyes?"

He remembered that in the woods, only one arrow missed the tiger's eye.

But Mu Rugui said calmly: "A few days ago, the white tiger that appeared in the Lishan hunting ground was it."

Behind the screen, Xia Chaosheng felt struck by lightning.

His fingertips trembled, and he thought of many things in a flash.

——Uncle Nine Emperors is very good at riding and shooting.

——The Ninth Prince shot the white tiger in the eye in the hunting ground, and won a generous reward from His Majesty.

White tiger, white tiger.

Xia Chaosheng put on his new undershirt, collected himself, walked to the couch, took Mu Rugui's hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "Uncle Nine, that white tiger..."

When the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to ask the question.

Mu Rugui got it wrong, hugged Xia Chaosheng in his arms, and said, "In the future, I shot the white tiger in the other eye, so in the hunting ground, it came back only to avenge its past."

After Mu Ru returned to her words, she was surprised that he was shaking more and more, and frowned and called out, "Red Five!"

"My lord, my subordinates are here." Hong Wu's voice came from outside the house.

"Go to the palace and invite the imperial physician."

"No need!" Xia Chaosheng raised his voice sharply, and pulled out Mu Rugui's sleeve with his sweaty hands, "Uncle Jiu, I...I'm fine."

Mu Rugui saw that his face was pale, with a morbid blush, but he would not listen to him, and said bluntly, tell Hong Wu to go and come back quickly.

Seeing that it was too late to stop him, Xia Chaosheng didn't stop him anymore, he simply tugged at Mu Rugui's sleeve, crying and laughing.

"Uncle Nine." He laughed at the stupidity of his past life, and also cried that his past life was pathetic, "That year...you saved me?"

Mu Rugui was not in the capital all year round, so he didn't know that the merit of that arrow had been taken away by Mu Rugui.

He just shot an arrow at random, even if it was not Xia Chaosheng who was about to be injured by the tiger, he would not stand idly by. So, after thinking for a while, he remembered which time Xia Chaosheng said "rescue": "White tiger remembers revenge, Seeing me at the hunting ground after so many years, I was as angry as ever."

This is an admission.

Two lines of tears rolled down Xia Chaosheng's eyes instantly.

That's right, Mu Ruqi even wants to grab military merits, let alone life-saving grace?

"Uncle Nine." He threw himself into Mu Rugui's arms, choked up and said, "Why didn't you say it?"

When Xia Chaosheng was still immersed in a terrifying dream, Mu Rugui said helplessly, "It's just an arrow...not worth mentioning."

He was shocked.

How can it be said that it is not worth mentioning?

That was the whole life he and Mu Rugui went around and missed.

In the second half of the night, Hong Wu invited the imperial physician out of the palace.

King Liang had just returned to Shangjing, just when he was paying attention to Mu Rugui. In the middle of the night, he was surprised to hear that the Ninth Princess was seriously ill. He thought that the Xia Dynasty was dying soon, and even sent the personal guard over.

With such a big fanfare, rumors began to spread in the capital again before dawn that the young master of Zhen Guohou's mansion would not survive this winter.

Immediately afterwards, thinking of the recent rumors and the edict of the prince's eloquence, everyone sighed with emotion: "Now it seems that His Majesty's gift of marriage is not unreasonable."

"That's right, His Royal Highness... Huh, it's not as good as the lame Ninth Prince!"

"That's right, although the Ninth Prince is lame, he will definitely not commit any act of collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

"Shh, do you dare to say that nonsense?"

"Qin Tongda was executed by Ling Chi, what can we say?"

…………

The rumors in the market have nothing to do with Xia Chaosheng.

He suddenly learned the truth in the middle of the night, and after recovering, he really had a fever, curled up on the couch, and listened drowsily to Uncle Jiu talking to the imperial physician.

All that was said were jerky and hard-to-understand names of medicines, perhaps he was talking about his illness.

He knew that his life expectancy was only five years, and he quickly calmed down after being sad.

In her previous life, she didn't know the truth, and she had lingered by Mu Rugui's side for 30 years, but in this life...it's already earned.

He was always open-minded, and after thinking it over, An Ran fell into a deep sleep.

Xia Zhaosheng fell asleep for three days, and when he woke up again, he seemed to have returned to the beginning of his rebirth, with a strong medicinal fragrance lingering in his nostrils.

"Xia Hua." He forced himself to sit up and coughed lightly while holding his forehead.

"Young Lord, are you awake?" It was Qiu Chan who entered the room, "Xia Hua is preparing the court clothes for the master and wife."

With the medicine in her hand, Qiu Chan told the news without Xia Zhaosheng asking.

It turned out that when King Liang hid in Lishan in a hurry, he even forgot the annual banquet held in the palace over the years. Now that the world is stable, the annual banquet is on the agenda again.

"Although the New Year's Eve is almost over, who doesn't know that His Majesty held the New Year's banquet to reward the Palace and our Zhen Guohou's Mansion?"

"Count your cleverness." Xia Chaosheng drank the medicine, and rarely felt refreshed.

This disease seems to have completely eliminated all the depression in his heart, and his body is much more relaxed.

"Young Master woke up in time, and the New Year's banquet is tonight." Qiu Chan sighed with emotion, "This morning, Madam also said, if you don't wake up today, you will miss the New Year's banquet tomorrow, and I'm afraid you won't be able to see it for a whole year." stop."

Xia Chaosheng laughed and shook his head: "Where is the prince?"

"The prince stayed in the Hou's mansion for two days, and the government affairs in the mansion were piled up like a mountain, so he had to go back." Qiu Chan said, while pursing her lips and smiling, "But you don't have to worry, Xiao Hou, Hong Wu is waiting in the yard. Once he said something, the prince will definitely rush back to the Hou Mansion."

Xia Zhaosheng's cheeks were slightly red, but he didn't refute Qiu Chan's words.

He knew what Mu Rugui was thinking.

Sure enough, after less than half an hour, Mu Rugui hurried over.

Mu Rugui stayed in the Hou Mansion for two days, and even the imperial physician returned to the palace, and he still refused to leave.

In the end, it was Zhen Guohou himself who "invited" him away.

Mu Rugui remembered that when he left, Xia Zhaosheng was lying on the couch with a pale complexion, so weak that he could barely breathe, so when he opened the door of the bedroom again and saw Xia Zhaosheng looking at him with a smile, he hung up. His heart sank heavily, and even more fragments of light flashed in front of his eyes.

Mu Rugui rushed over quickly, hugging him tightly in the joy of regaining what was lost.

The cool wind came in along the crack of the door, and Qiu Chan closed the door with great insight, and quietly dragged Hong Wu away.

Xia Chaosheng blinked, and took the initiative to put his arms around Mu Rugui's waist: "Uncle Jiu."

"Hmm." Mu Rugui's voice was a little hoarse.

He sighed: "My body is fine."

He thought, maybe when he came into contact with the truth suddenly, he couldn't bear it mentally, and it turned into a terrible emergency.

Now that the depression is gone, the disease will be healed.

Mu Rugui loosened the hand that was around Xia Chaosheng's waist, and looked at his complexion carefully.

It is indeed much better, and there is still a little redness of recovering from a serious illness.

"The New Year's banquet in the palace, do you want to go?"

"I want to go." Xia Chaosheng nodded, and tentatively hooked Mu Rugui's finger, "Who else did His Majesty invite?"

Mu Rugui knew that he wanted to understand the situation in the court, so he pulled him to sit in front of the couch, and said patiently: "Except for the prince, the rest of the people are the same as in previous years."

Xia Chaosheng raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

During the New Year's Eve, he didn't want to see Mu Ruqi.

The thought of that face turned his stomach.

It was late at night and the frost was heavy, and there were several sounds of porcelain cracking in the East Palace.

Mu Ruqi threw all the utensils before the case on the ground: "How could Qin Tongda collude with the enemy and treason?!"

The palace servants kneeling on the ground trembled, and no one dared to look up.

Mu Ruqi only found it ridiculous.

When he confessed his mistake, when Qin Tongda committed some trivial crime, he didn't think about "collaborating with the enemy and treason" at all. It wasn't until Queen Qin took off her hairpin to plead guilty and Qin Tongda was executed by Ling Chi that he realized it belatedly. It turned out that things exceeded my expectations.

This is not a crime that a prince of the Eastern Palace should be contaminated with.

--Snapped!

Mu Ruqi threw another celadon tea set on the ground. "Father doesn't even allow me to attend the New Year's banquet." He leaned on the table, panting like a cow, "Does he still see me as a prince?!"

What scares Mu Ruqi the most is that Queen Qin asked her to leave the palace.

He lost the most favorable support in the palace.

Just because he didn't marry Xia Chaosheng into the East Palace, everything in this life exceeded his expectations.

Xia Chaosheng, Xia Chaosheng.

Mu Ruqi's eyes were scarlet, and he sized up the palace man kneeling in front of him gloomily, and finally fixed his eyes on the little eunuch who was accompanying him.

"come here."

Mu Ruqi's voice was like a talisman, and the little eunuch fell to his knees in fright: "Your Highness, please spare me!"

"Who wants your life?" Mu Ruqi sneered disdainfully, and glanced at the rest of the palace, "Go away!"

The little eunuch trembled even more.

He prostrated himself on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "Your Highness, please forgive me...Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Mu Ruqi walked over impatiently, and kicked the little eunuch to the ground: "I still have a place for you."

The earthy-faced little eunuch just breathed a sigh of relief when he completely collapsed on the ground because of what Mu Ruqi said next.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to prescribe medicine to the young master of Zhen Guohou's mansion, who is now the Ninth Concubine.

The little eunuch tremblingly took the medicine bottle that Mu Ruqi handed over, thinking of the foolish maid who had been raped, his hands trembled, and he almost smashed the medicine bottle by mistake.

"Today's New Year's banquet is a good opportunity." Mu Ruqi narrowed his eyes, put the toe of his shoe against the little eunuch's shoulder, and stomped him on the ground, "Seize the opportunity, life or death... all depends on your own choice .”

The little eunuch didn't want to die, so he cried and put the medicine bottle into his arms.

Mu Ruqi withdrew his foot in satisfaction: "Gu is here waiting for your good news."

When he thought of Xia Chaosheng, his expression was no longer as fierce as before, and there was a strange tenderness in his eyes.

"Your Highness, if...if the princess doesn't want to come..."

The rest of the little eunuch's words were drowned out by screams.

Mu Ruqi kicked him out of the door, and roared angrily: "How is it possible?!"

"For me, he knelt down in the Golden Luan Hall and took Yizi's medicine...how could he not want to come to the East Palace?!"

The little eunuch's words touched Mu Ruqi's most secret worry.

There is a huge difference between this life and the previous life, only the love of the current life cannot be changed.

Mu Ruqi looked at the little eunuch coldly, saw him spit out a mouthful of blood, and raised the corners of his lips: "If you don't go, someone will go instead for you."

"Your Highness, I'll go..." The little eunuch struggled to get up from the ground and murmured numbly, "I'll go."

He doesn't want to die.

There is only one way to go.

Although the prince is under house arrest, the Jinwu Guard will not stop an eunuch.

In front of the palace city, the little eunuch met Aunt Xunfang who was serving in front of the imperial court.

"Follow me." Xun Fang had been waiting here for a long time, seeing the red and swollen scars on the little eunuch's face, he frowned indistinctly, "What happened?"

With a wound on his face, it was difficult to arrange to serve him at the annual banquet.

The little eunuch knew that Xun Fang was an old friend of Empress Qin, so he didn't dare to say that the wound on his face was caused by the prince, and murmured, "It's my slave's carelessness."

"Stupid thing." How could Xunfang not guess the source of the scar?

It's just that she guessed it, and she didn't think the prince was wrong, instead she said sarcastically: "It's your job to make the master angry."

The little eunuch shrank his neck and responded timidly.

"Did you bring something?"

"Bring it back to Auntie." He took out the medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Xunfang, "This medicine is extremely powerful, just one drop can make people lose their minds, please be careful, Auntie."

"Do you still need to remind me?" Xun Fang sneered, and took out a golden melon seed from her bosom, "Okay, you have an injury on your face, let's go, just go back and report to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The little eunuch took the golden melon seeds and left with trepidation.

The moonlight was dim, and the hustle and bustle in the imperial city gradually faded away.

Walking on the palace road that was quiet and deserted, he felt the chill all over his body wantonly, and the swaying tree shadows were like dead souls who were dying for their lives.

"Don't come looking for me...don't come looking for me!" The little eunuch was terrified and ran quickly as it was the first time he had personally harmed someone.

There seemed to be another voice in the wind.

The little eunuch was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, seeing the palace gate not far away, a gleam of hope burst out in his eyes.

But the light quickly dimmed.

A silver light flashed, and the little eunuch's stiff body fell to the ground.

After a while, several blurred figures appeared beside him, first took the golden melon seeds out of his arms, then took advantage of the darkness, dragged him to a dry well, and threw them down without hesitation.

- Puff.

After the muffled sound, the imperial city fell into a dead silence.
