Reborn as a King in the Hand

Chapter 55 Chapter 55

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a little snow fell from the sky.

There was chaos in Zhen Guohou's mansion.

Xia Rongshan, who was wearing court clothes, stood in front of his wife's bedroom with his hands behind his back, anxiously urging: "Madam, hurry up, it's not good to be late."

After he finished speaking, he asked the maid in his wife's room to urge him: "Why is it still not working?"

The maid quickly opened the door and entered the room, but Mrs. Pei still did not come out.

Xia Rongshan pricked up his ears to listen carefully, only to hear Mrs. Pei asking the maid: "Which hairpin looks good?"

Immediately, he was so angry that he fell headlong.

Xia Rongshan turned around speechlessly, and saw Xia Hua coming not far away with a lantern.

In the reddish firelight, Xia Chaosheng held Mu Rugui's arm, talking and laughing.

The two stood together, looking from a distance, they seemed to be right.

Something happened to the crown prince, Xia Rongshan became more and more satisfied with the son-in-law of the Ninth Prince, and stopped being sarcastic. When they came, he asked first, "Is everything ready?"

Xia Chaosheng folded his hands and bowed in salute: "Father, everything is ready."

"Your mother is the slowest." Seeing that he was wrapped in the crane cloak she gave him, Xia Rongshan looked away in satisfaction, "You also go to urge him. Although His Majesty will not blame you, it is too late and it is not proper."

Xia Chaosheng answered "Yes", and Mrs. Pei came out of the room before he reached the door.

"It's just that you chose a hairpin, and your father would be annoyed." Mrs. Pei was wearing a first-grade gown, and took Xia Chaosheng's hand angrily, "Let's go, bridesmaids will take a carriage."

Xia Chaosheng hesitated for a moment, then compromised.

The crown prince is weak, he can't let the king of Liang put his suspicious eyes on Mu Rugui, it's better to ride with his mother, although it will be true, it will not attract His Majesty's attention.

Besides... Uncle Jiu will definitely not blame him.

Xia Zhaosheng's thoughts turned back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, he had already walked outside the mansion.

He helped Mrs. Pei into the carriage, and got in with his robe.

"Birth, come to mother." Madam Pei took his hand as soon as she sat down, "Let mother see... your complexion has improved a lot, and the medicine this time seems to be of great use."

"Mother, my health is much better." Xia Chaosheng smiled and handed over the hand stove, "Look, I have taken good care of myself."

"What's a hand stove?" Mrs. Pei gave him an annoyed look, and seeing that the maid didn't come in, she quickly lowered her voice, "Mother is afraid of the prince..."

Xia Chaosheng asked blankly, "What's wrong with Uncle Jiu?"

"You married into the palace, did he... make things difficult for you?" Mrs. Pei was a little embarrassed.

She never thought that her son would take Yizi medicine, let alone get married.Now that I was worried, and the words came to my lips, but I couldn't say anything.

Xia Chaosheng blinked, and it took him a while to finally understand the meaning of Mrs. Pei's words.

"Mother..." He blushed and looked away to look at the lights outside the car window, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Mrs. Pei anxiously grabbed Xia Chaosheng's hand and shook it a few times: "Mother is worried about your body!... When the imperial physician came a few days ago, mother wanted to ask him for advice, but unfortunately he is the imperial physician on duty in the palace. I can't stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time, my mother didn't find a chance, so I didn't ask."

"Mother is really worried about you." Mrs. Pei pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "You also know that the Ninth Prince's reputation... Mother is not someone who cares about gossip, but you came out of mother's belly, how could mother do not worry?"

The red tide on Xia Chaosheng's face faded slowly, and his nose became sour.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion wishes him well, why was he so stupid in his previous life?

Xia Chaosheng cheered up, and said carefully: "When we got married, the prince told me that my body is really not suitable...so mother, don't worry."

Mrs. Pei actually knew from Xia Chaosheng's appearance that Mu Rugui didn't make things difficult for him, but she felt completely at ease when she got his own answer, so she immediately pressed her heart and let out a long sigh of relief: "That's very good... By the way, In the future, don't mention His Highness the Crown Prince in front of the prince."

Mrs. Pei's concerns are justified and justified.

It wasn't long before Xia Chaosheng knelt down in front of the Golden Luan Hall in order to marry into the East Palace. Now that the crown prince is ruined, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't get involved.

Xia Chaosheng was eager to end this topic quickly, and quickly promised: "Mother, you know who I am. At the beginning, since I didn't want to marry into the East Palace, it was because I realized that the crown prince was not a good man. Now he rapes Di Nu and hurts her. The murder of a person is also involved in the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason... Yu's family and the country, I hate him before it's too late, why would you speak good things about him in front of the prince?"

"That's the reason."

"Mother, please rest assured."

Mrs. Pei was indeed relieved.

She leaned on the soft cushion, lifted the curtain, looked at the brightly lit Shangjing City, and sighed deeply: "You said, how can we let such a beautiful country in Daliang be ruined by Di people?... Your Highness, you are really confused. "

Xia Chaosheng pursed his lips and remained silent.

Is Mu Ruqi confused?

No, he was wide awake.Xia Chaosheng sneered and raised the corners of his lips.

Mu Ruqi is calmer than anyone else, or indifferent.

He only cares about the supreme position, and will only do things that are beneficial to him.

Just like in the previous life, the first thing Mu Ruqi did after securing his position on the throne was to wipe out the entire family of the Marquis of Zhen Guo, so as to prevent future troubles.

In this life, if Di Ren promised him that he would be guaranteed the throne, maybe he would really do something disgusting.

"Mother sometimes thinks about it, and she is afraid." Mrs. Pei looked away and patted Xia Chaosheng on the shoulder, "If you really marry into the East Palace, how will you deal with yourself now?"

"A few days ago, I also told your father... Your father said that if you really married in, even if it is robbery now, he will snatch you out of the pit of fire."

Xia Chao clenched his sleeves tightly, and his "Mother" broke deep in his throat, which was interrupted by a voice from outside the carriage.

"Young Lord, we're here." Xia Hua reminded in a low voice, "You should enter the palace with the prince."

Xia Chaosheng married into the palace, his status has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now entering the palace, he also enters the palace as the ninth concubine.

"Mother, my son is leaving." Xia Chaosheng suppressed the bitterness in his heart, collected his emotions, and bid farewell to Mrs. Pei with the hem of his clothes in his hands, then turned and opened the car curtain.

Mu Rugui was already waiting by the car, and when he saw him appear, he brushed off the snow falling on his shoulders, and stretched out his hand to him.

No one reminded Xia Chaosheng that this was against the rules.

He didn't think about the rules, he just passed his hand over.

"But feeling cold?"

Xia Chaosheng shook his head and smiled, "Why is it cold in Mother's carriage? The stove is warmer than the Hou's residence."

Mu Rugui didn't say much anymore, he held his hand firmly in his palm, and walked towards the majestic palace wall.

The eunuchs carrying red lanterns were waiting in front of the imperial city early.

Horse-drawn carriages from various prefectures also arrived one after another.

"My lord, my concubine." Chang Zhong saluted them with a lantern in his hand, "Your Majesty knows that you two are coming, and special servants are waiting here."

The King of Liang wanted to be kind, and even sent out the guards around him, giving the palace enough face.

Mu Rugui was noncommittal, and said flatly: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Huang."

Chang Zhong seemed unaware of Mu Rugui's indifferent attitude, and led the way with a smile.

The few times before entering the palace, there were not so many servants in front of the gate of the palace city, Xia Chaosheng hadn't noticed anything unusual yet.

Now, he found that no matter the maids or eunuchs, they were far away from them.

He looked at Mu Rugui thoughtfully, and moved his grasped fingers.

"Huh?" Mu Rugui seemed to have sensed something, paused slightly, and looked over as if asking.

Xia Chaosheng's eyeballs rolled around, and before Mu Rugui could react, he suddenly cried out in pain: "My lord, you... let go..."

Mu Rugui: "..."

When Mu Rugui let go, he caught a glimpse of the smile hidden in his eyes, and sighed helplessly.

It's a pity that the interaction between them can't be seen by others. The eunuchs and maids who were already several steps away from them all hid away without a trace, and even the dignitaries who attended the New Year Banquet speeded up their pace strangely.

The Ninth Prince is really frightening, the sick young Lord of Zhen Guohou's mansion, I'm afraid he really will die soon, right?

Xia Rongshan, who was walking on the palace road, stopped when he heard the sound: "Is it the sound of giving birth just now?"

Mrs. Pei put on the airs of Mrs. Yipin, and taunted angrily: "Don't you know what kind of virtue your son is?"

"As soon as you hear that voice, you have bad thoughts, so don't worry about it."

Xia Rongshan followed up suspiciously: "What Madam said is true?"

"Of course it's true." Mrs. Pei tugged at Zhen Guohou's sleeve and urged in a low voice, "It's getting late, let's go quickly."

To say she understands, Mrs. Pei really understands her son.

Xia Chaosheng on the other side finished shouting, suppressed a smile, and took Mu Rugui's hand again.

Chang Zhong, who was walking beside them, seemed to be deaf for a short time, and he didn't even turn his head, but when he was about to reach the Golden Luan Hall, he seemed to have no intention of saying: "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not invited for today's annual banquet. Take it easy."

Mu Rugui's eyes narrowed slightly, and when Xia Zhaosheng's curious gaze came to him, the sharpness in his eyes disappeared: "Drinking is not allowed at the banquet today."

He was immediately distracted and hesitated, "Isn't it okay to have a glass?"

Mu Rugui said firmly, "No."

Seeing Xia Chaosheng's dissatisfaction again, he explained slowly: "The imperial physician once told you that your body is not suitable for drinking."

He just gave up.

The long palace road stretches to the magnificent Miyagi.

Xia Chaosheng couldn't help feeling heavy as he walked.

In his previous life, he walked this path, and Mu Rugui also walked this path.

He walked towards the endless dark night, and Mu Rugui tore the night completely to pieces.

Now, he is on this road again, with an uncertain future.

"I'm here." Mu Rugui sensed Xia Chaosheng's hesitation, and comforted him clumsily, "They dare not laugh at you."

Mu Rugui thought that he was worried about meeting his former classmates in Taixue.

Those who can enter Taixue are either rich or expensive.Xia Chaosheng was accompanied by the prince, so he was naturally dazzling.

In the past, he was the most eye-catching student in the imperial academy, but now...he is a frail and sickly princess. It is normal for him to feel embarrassed by the huge gap.

"I'm not worried about this." Xia Chaosheng recovered and smiled slightly.

Those who followed the prince, those who really hurt him, all met a miserable end in their previous lives.

His vendetta was avenged by his ninth uncle in his previous life. Looking at it now, even if the hatred in his heart is hard to get rid of, his mind will not be affected by trifles.

"My lord, my concubine, at the New Year's banquet today, your seats are the first ones next to His Majesty." Chang Zhong interrupted their whispering at the right time, "With such a favor, the Palace is the first one."

"Thank you, Brother Huang." When Mu Rugui faced Chang Zhong, he was still as indifferent as ever.

Chang Zhong led them into the hall, said a few auspicious words, and then changed the subject: "My lord, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."

Mu Rugui nodded and said: "The king will come as soon as the princess is settled."

"It should be, it should be." Chang Zhong stopped in front of the hall with a lantern in his hand.

Xia Chaosheng also heard Chang Zhong's words, but he didn't ask carefully.

Firstly, there are too many people in the hall, so it is inappropriate to talk about major issues. Secondly, now that King Liang is relying on the black armored cavalry, he will never act rashly.

So Xia Chaosheng walked into the hall safely.

Before the time came, there were not many relatives of the emperor in the hall, but half of the officials above the second rank came, gathering together in twos and threes.

The eunuchs outside the hall sang "The prince and concubine are here", they immediately shut up and knelt on the ground to salute.

Mu Rugui had a fierce reputation, even if he sat in the seat nearest to the king of Liang, no one dared to talk to him. Most of the officials hurriedly saluted and retreated in a hurry, fearing that Mu Rugui's bad luck would happen and the whole family would suffer. .

Mu Rugui was already used to this, so after Anton Xia Chaosheng sat down, he got up and left in a hurry.

Chang Zhong still stood at his original position, waiting respectfully.

"Let's go." Mu Rugui left Xia Chaosheng, and returned to his indifferent appearance.

Chang Zhong quickly led the way with a lantern in his hand.

The palace walls are dense, and their figures are reflected on the walls, like struggling and roaring wild ghosts.

"Xunfang belongs to the queen." At the moment when he turned the corner, Chang Zhong suddenly stepped back half a step, and whispered beside Mu Rugui, "Please be careful, my lord."

After the inner servant finished speaking, he waved the lantern unobtrusively.

The lights flickered, and no one could see their figures clearly.

"Oh, my lord, you should be careful, it's windy today." Changzhong complained with a smile in the wind, "The gust of wind just now almost blew the lantern in the servant's hand, and it gave me a big jump."

"It's okay." Mu Rugui lowered his eyes, remembering the burning lantern not long ago when he went to the Lishan hunting ground.

At that time, Xia Chaosheng said plainly that he was willing to marry into the palace.

Those eyes illuminated by the lights seemed to shine into his heart like the brightest stars in the world.

"My lord."

Mu Rugui withdrew his thoughts, raised his head, looked at the plaque in the Imperial Study Room, hid the smile on his lips, pushed the door open and entered.

Liang Wang had already been waiting inside.

"Ninth brother." Liang Wang eagerly supported Mu Rugui who wanted to salute, "You have an injury on your leg, so please excuse me."

Mu Rugui took advantage of the situation and got up.

"Is the injury on Brother Jiu's leg better?"

"Better."

"You can't be sloppy." Liang Wang waved his hand, and the imperial physicians who had been waiting in the imperial study room came out in a file, "I am really worried. You have never cherished your body, otherwise, you would not suffer from old diseases... you Call me Emperor Brother, and Emperor Brother will naturally care about you."

Listening to Liang Wang's high-sounding excuses, Mu Rugui sneered inwardly, and then lifted up his trousers.

The hideous wound was still terrifying, but the blood on it was much less than before.

King Liang glanced at it, then looked away, hesitatingly waiting for the results of the imperial physicians.

Compared to King Liang, Mu Rugui was much calmer.

He was sitting with his back loose, and even though one leg was crippled, his body still exuded a fierce aura.

A candle burst out of a silently burning candle.

The white-haired imperial physician knelt in front of King Liang: "Your Majesty, the injury on the prince's leg is really serious!"

Liang Wang's eyelids twitched, and he looked down at the imperial physician: "Wang Imperial Physician, you are a national player in the treatment of bone injuries in the imperial hospital, can't even you do anything?"

Physician Wang prostrated himself on the ground: "Chen... I have tried my best in medicine, maybe I can... maybe I can..."

Liang Wang wanted to get angry, but remembering that the imperial doctor Wang was already in his seventies, he forcibly endured it.

When Mu Rugui heard the diagnosis result, he put down his trousers calmly: "Brother Lao Huang, take care, my brother's legs, my brother knows well, so I'm leaving."

"Ninth brother..." King Liang couldn't stop him, and Mu Rugui had already opened the door and left the imperial study.

"Is his leg really bad?" Liang Wang waited for him to leave, his eyes were dim, and he asked the imperial physician kneeling on the ground in a low voice, "Is there a cure?"

Doctor Wang still shook his head: "Returning to Your Majesty, unless Hua Tuo is alive, there is no cure for the leg of the Ninth Prince... I will try my best in medicine, maybe... maybe it can make him stand for a few more years."

King Liang heaved a sigh of relief, and thought of Di Ren who was staring at Daliang outside the Jiaxing Pass, he said quickly: "A few years will be good. You go back to the Imperial Hospital to prepare the medicine, and then deliver it to the Wang's mansion in person. I still need him." place, he can't be paralyzed before me!"

The imperial physician agreed and resigned tremblingly.

Mu Rugui, who left the imperial study room, did not return directly to the Golden Luan Hall.

He looked at Hong Wu who was holding a lantern: "How long has Black Seven been gone?"

"It's almost time for a stick of incense." Hong Wu replied, "Do you want your subordinates to look for it too?"

"No need." Mu Rugui's eyes moved, looking at the shadow in the corner of the palace wall, "He's back."

"My lord." Hei Qi really came out of the shadows, and approached lightly, "My subordinates have inquired clearly."

"Xunfang, who served in front of the imperial court, did have a problem. The people we placed in the palace said that she was close to Queen Qin in her early years."

"Empress Qin?" Mu Rugui put his hands behind his back, suddenly, "So, it's my good nephew who is going to attack Chaosheng?"

Hei Qi scratched his head: "This subordinate originally wanted to find Xunfang, knocked her unconscious, and took her to the prince's side for interrogation, but she had already entered the main hall, and the subordinate could not find a chance to do anything, so he could only come back and ask the prince for help." Come back."

When Mu Rugui heard the words, his eyes turned cold: "If you can't find her, don't you know how to find someone else?"

Hei Qi was stunned: "Subordinate..."

"My lord, let the subordinates go down." Hong Wu sighed, and took the initiative to say, "There must be some familiar maids or eunuchs around Xunfang, and the subordinates will come back after going down."

Mu Rugui pursed his lips and said, "Hurry up."

Hong Wu responded, and turned over the palace wall in an instant.

Knowing that he had done something wrong, Hei Qi honestly carried the lantern left by Hong Wu to light the way forward for Mu Rugui.

But after all, he has an irresistible temper. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help asking: "My lord, you said that His Highness the crown prince has been confined in the East Palace. What else can Xunfang do?"

Hei Qi didn't take it seriously: "Even if she really wants to do something, she can't make any waves."

"Fighting back at death is always the most terrifying." Mu Rugui frowned and stopped, "Leaving you in Shangjing, you even forgot such a simple truth. Go back to the mansion tonight and bring thirty army sticks yourself. "

"Ah?" Hei Qi immediately made a bitter face.

Just as he was talking, Hong Wu had already returned.

After two muffled sounds, he threw the person in his hand in front of Mu Rugui. "My lord, time is running out. I didn't have time to ask who Xun Fang was friends with on weekdays, so I beat up the two maids around her." Halo brought."

Mu Rugui bent down, brushed the toe of the boot on the maid's cheek, and ordered with a blank expression: "Wake up."

Hong Wu and Hei Qi immediately went to touch the acupuncture points of the maids.

There are many ways to toss people in the army, even if these two maids are dying, they still have ways to keep people awake.

And the maid lying on the ground, who followed Xunfang since she was a child, has an extraordinary status in the palace. As soon as she opened her eyes, she put on a posture of incriminating her teacher: "Who are you, how dare you..."

But the anger on his mother's face quickly turned into fear.

In the boundless night, the moonlight is hazy.

A red lantern dimly illuminated three figures.

The maid's expression was extremely embarrassing, her voice trembled: "You... who are you?"

Hei Qi knelt down and said with a smile: "My lord is here, you are so rude, are you desperate?"

"My lord..." There was a momentary blank on the maid's face, and then they both knelt down on the ground and cried, "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"

Mu Rugui's reputation, even though they lived in the palace since they were young, they have heard about it. They have also heard that the mother who served Mu Rugui in the palace said that the Ninth Prince has a cruel temperament, kills people like hemp, and is not pleasing to the eye. People will also be made into human leather lanterns for fun.

I don't know if he thought of what they were thinking, Hong Wu suddenly stood aside, and said quietly: "Today's lantern...is not too bright."

The palace maid immediately trembled like chaff, not to mention Mu Rugui who was hiding in the dark.

That black robe seemed to be stained with flames, the corners of the robe were soaked in a faint blood red, and even the four-clawed golden python seemed to be bathed in blood.

Most of the royal family's children are rich and handsome, and Mu Rugui is the best among them. Unfortunately, he is too sharp. If the hostility in his eyes is not restrained, it will turn into a strong murderous look. Who would notice his appearance?

The palace maid was so frightened that she nearly died and collapsed on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, our prince is very talkative." Hei Qi asked jokingly, holding his chin, "Hey, what does Aunt Xunfang do all day long?"

"Aunt...Aunt serves Your Majesty..."

As soon as the words fell, the silver glow fell straight down.

Hei Qiyan quickly covered the maid's mouth with her hands, and stopped the screams.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Mu Rugui didn't have a trace of pity in his eyes, he raised his sword and turned around, "Hong Wu, find a dry well and throw them down."

The palace maid was out of her wits and couldn't care less about the pain, she kowtowed tearfully: "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive my life, and this servant can say anything."

"Don't cry if you don't see the coffin." Seeing this, Hei Qi looked away wearily.

The maid continued: "My aunt has always avoided us when she was doing things, but today, I heard she said that she was going to meet some servant in the East Palace... She said it was... She said it was related to the young master."

"My lord?" Hong Wu looked at Mu Rugui with a serious look on his face.

Mu Rugui had already walked a long way, and it was still the silver sword light that answered Hong Wu.

Hong Wu understood, took the long sword, and two blood flowers bloomed instantly under the palace wall.

"I don't know how high the sky is."

Mu Rugui was filled with disgust and left in a huff.

Xia Chaosheng is the person he protects on top of his heart, yet Donggong still wants to use dirty tricks.

Then they will compare who's method is more frightening.

Mu Rugui quickened his pace, suddenly wanting to return to the main hall.

He wanted to see Xia Chaosheng and couldn't wait.

A circle of people surrounded Xia Chaosheng in the main hall.

He lifted his eyelids and took a cursory look.

Those were all his "classmates" when he was in Taixue.

The author has something to say: there is a list w happy
