Reborn as a King in the Hand

It took less than half a day for the fifth prince Mu Ru to anger His Majesty, and it spread throughout the capital.

There is no other reason, all because of King Liang's sentence: "I will never make you the crown prince in this life, so you just give up."

A prince was kicked out of the palace by His Majesty in court, and also lost the qualification to inherit the throne. In the history of Daliang, there was no one before or since.

The courtiers talked a lot, and even the common people were drooling in the teahouse to discuss it.

Everyone knows that the fifth prince is in the limelight recently, and only a young eleventh prince can barely fight against it.

Many courtiers are like mirrors in their hearts.

His Majesty pushed the Eleventh Prince to the front of the stage, not because His Majesty really wanted to pass on the throne to Mu Ruyi, but because he was afraid of the influence of the Fifth Prince in the court.

They have been officials for many years, and most of them are good people. Since His Majesty wants to see the situation of the division fighting, then he will act like a division fighting to please the old emperor.

But no matter how savvy the courtiers were, they never thought that a single strange stone would abruptly ruin the future of a prince.

Mu Ruxu returned to the mansion in a daze, and was instantly surrounded by advisers around him.

They have assisted the fifth prince for many years, and worked hard to make suggestions. They saw that the clouds would bloom and the moon would be bright, but because of a word from King Liang, they directly ruined the years of hard work.

Who can accept it?

Who can bear it?

The advisers' eyes were red-eyed, and they didn't care about the dignity and order, and they surrounded Mu Ruxu, chattering wildly.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with that stone?"

"It was Di Ren who discovered the stone!"

"So what if it's Di people? There are countless Di people in Shangjing, and His Majesty will not blame His Highness for such a trivial matter!"

"Could it be that Di Ren said something he shouldn't have said in the Golden Luan Hall?"

…………

"Shut up!" Mu Ruxu finally regained his senses amidst the noise, and hugged his head in a slump, "There is nothing wrong with the stone, and neither is the person who found the stone..."

His eyes lit up, and he raised his head suddenly: "But the father mentioned my mother and concubine."

The counselors looked at each other.

Mu Ruxu's biological mother had already passed away when he was born, and even the counselor who had been with the fifth prince the longest knew only Concubine Ning, not his biological mother.

After a long time, a white-haired counselor said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I have heard a little about your mother and concubine."

Mu Ruxu seemed to have grasped at straws, and rushed over: "Say it!" The counselor stammered, "Your biological mother...your biological mother should be the deceased Concubine Li."

"I know that." Mu Ruxu's expression tensed, "When my concubine mother gave birth to me, she collapsed and died... This is all recorded, and it cannot be faked."

"That's true." The counselor said again, "At that time, the old minister had been in office for seven or eight years, but he also heard some rumors... It was said that before the death of Concubine Li, she seemed to have offended His Majesty because of something. Your Majesty missed Concubine Li The birth of the prince was not pursued, but the mourning after death... His Highness should also know."

After the death of Concubine Li, apart from the uniform posthumous titles in the palace every few years, King Liang did not express any more.

Thinking of this, Mu Ruxu turned pale.

He lost his biological mother since he was a child, and was fostered in Concubine Ning's Palace. In fact, he didn't have much affection for his real biological mother.

Concubine Ning had no children, so in order to consolidate her status, she naturally had high expectations of Mu Ruxu and would not deliberately treat him harshly. Over time, Mu Ruxu regarded herself as Concubine Ning's son.

But now, when King Liang was furious, he accidentally mentioned his concubine mother... Could it be that his biological mother Concubine Li had done anything rebellious?

"The old minister knows what His Highness is thinking." The counselor said, "At that time, the old minister was also curious about what the concubine Li did to offend Longyan... But it is very strange that the concubine Li lived in seclusion during her lifetime. , can be regarded as a perfect match. It is said that before entering the palace, Concubine Li was a woman of folk origin, and she entered the palace after being seen by His Majesty who was on tour, and became the Concubine Li in the future."

"The old mother in the palace told me about these things." Mu Ruxu's eyes darkened, "What do you want to say?"

"In my opinion, Concubine Li is a prudent person and will not offend Longyan." The counselor cupped his hands, "Furthermore, if Concubine Li really made a big mistake, Your Majesty will definitely not I will bring you by my side, carefully educate you for more than twenty years, and specially entrust Your Highness in the palace of Concubine Ning."

Mu Ruxu was in a daze when he heard this, and asked in a daze: "According to what you said, my mother and concubine have not done anything wrong, and I have never done anything treasonous... Then why did Your Majesty lose his temper today?"

None of the counselors could answer his question.

"Where am I not as good as Mu Ruqi?" The Fifth Prince had a strange smile on his face, "He is where Empress Qin is, and I am indeed not as good as... But now, the Qin family is destroyed, and Empress Qin invited her out of the palace, isn't it? In Father's heart, am I not as good as a crippled prince?"

"Your Highness, according to my opinion, His Majesty must be speaking in anger." Another counselor stood up with a calm tone and a calm expression, "For the current plan, we can only solve the problem by finding out why Your Majesty is angry."

The old minister who mentioned Concubine Li just now also nodded in agreement: "Since His Majesty mentioned Concubine Li, let's check... Even if it has been more than 20 years, there must still be some clues."

Mu Ruxu no longer had the strength to manage the counselor: "Go."

He used to think that when Mu Ruqi fell, his good days would come. Even if his father deliberately got close to the eleventh prince, to him, it was just a necessary training before ascending to the throne, and he was nothing to fear.

But Mu Ruxu only now knows that the throne is the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror.

He stared blankly at the withered peach tree outside the window, the light in his eyes dimmed.

The peach blossoms in the Nine Kings Mansion are gone.

Xia Chaosheng put on a cloak and stood in the yard, watching Xia Hua and Qiu Chan carefully pick the flower buds they picked earlier.

The peach blossoms in spring only need a little rain, and they will all fall.

The ground is pink and white, so lively.

Qin Xuanlang came in a hurry, stopped a few steps away from Xia Chaosheng, and said respectfully: "Princess."

"You're here?" Xia Chaosheng came back to his senses, and put his hands into the sleeves.

The handsome young man seems to be a little tired recently, his complexion is slightly pale, and his eyes are haunted by a touch of fatigue, but he still has a strength of character that no one else can match.

Qin Xuanlang didn't dare to raise his head, and responded in a low voice.

Xia Chaosheng looked over: "The matter of the fifth prince...is done well."

"Thank you, princess, for your appreciation."

"However, did you really bury that stone in the soil?"

Qin Xuanlang shook his head with a smile: "As for the princess, the stone was originally buried in the ground... The subordinate just secretly added four words on the stone after someone dug it out."

It dawned on him.

Indeed, there are too many flaws in burying the carved stone in the soil. It is better to secretly engrave the words after the stone is dug out, but people will not be able to see the clues.

"His Royal Highness Fifth Prince is impatient. Even if his subordinates don't find this stone for him, he will find it himself in a few days." Qin Xuanlang smiled but said nothing.

Xia Chaosheng nodded appreciatively, and then asked: "Are you going to find the prince?"

Qin Xuanlang should be respectful.

"Go, the lord is in the study." His eyes fell on Xia Hua and Qiu Chan again, and he ordered sleepily, "When you see the lord, remember to say something for me...I don't want to eat sour today. Some sweet soup."

Qin Xuanlang did not doubt that he was there, so he folded his hands and retreated, but Xia Hua listened to his words and sighed: "Princess, your appetite is changing day by day, and the slaves don't know how to deal with it."

The corner of Xia Zhaosheng's mouth curled up into a smile: "The desserts you make are delicious, when did I ever dislike them?"

Xia Hua raised her head happily when she heard the words: "What would the princess want to eat today? Peach Blossom Crisp?"

"Forget it, every few days, I'm a bit tired of eating continuously." Xia Chaosheng said to himself, "But my taste has indeed become faster recently, it seems...it seems..."

He was slightly startled.

Like what?

There was an answer on his lips, but Xia Zhaosheng couldn't think of it.

He sighed irritably, decided not to make things difficult for himself, turned around and went back to the house, picked up the letter, and read it intently.

... can't see it.

Xia Chaosheng knew every word on the slip, but when these words came together, they quickly slipped away from his eyes, and he refused to keep them in his mind.

He was about to laugh at himself.

Day by day, what are you worried about?

Xia Chaosheng shook his head to himself, changed his clothes and climbed onto the couch, wrapped in a brocade quilt and dozed off.

Xia Hua outside the house did not expect him to fall asleep so soon, and whispered to Qiu Chan under the window: "Why haven't you seen Mama Wang who is guarding the gatehouse recently?"

Qiu Chan snorted: "Mother Wang's daughter-in-law has a big belly, and she's taking leave to go back and wait to pick up the baby."

"Her family's daughter-in-law is going to give birth?... I remember, her daughter-in-law was working in the palace before, right?"

"That's right, not long after our princess got married, her daughter-in-law had it in her stomach."

"Yo, it's so festive."

"Where is the celebration? I heard that the past few days have been throwing up and having headaches, and I can't even get off the ground!"

"But I heard from Ms. Wang that it's hard for everyone to conceive a child."

"That's true."

"Hey, sister Xia Hua, when Mama Wang's daughter-in-law is born, will we have red eggs to eat?"

"You, with this mouth, the princess will laugh at you."

…………

Xia Zhaosheng pretended not to hear the laughter of the maids.

He was lying comfortably on the couch, hugging the warm hand stove, and while he was drowsy, a thought popped up in his heart, and then he became sober.

The daughter-in-law of Mama Wang's family...

Before he knew it, Xia Chaosheng's back was sweating.

He stared blankly at the letter in front of the bed, countless thoughts popped up in his mind.

It seems that some are about past lives, and some... are about this life.

The picture of the previous life is getting weaker and weaker, and the memory of this life is deeply etched in my mind, and finally all become blank.

"Uncle Nine..." Xia Chaosheng hugged the brocade quilt blankly, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and murmured with a blushing face, "Uncle Nine."

A ridiculous idea popped up in his mind.

Xia Chaosheng is not a stupid person, even though he is unwell these days and he is beside Mu Rugui, he is too lazy to use his brain to think, but if he really calms down and analyzes it, he will still notice it.

Or rather, obviously.

Xia Chaosheng got up from the couch and walked around the house.

Sure enough, the tea that was placed in the house before disappeared.

His complexion became redder, and he forcibly picked up the airs of the princess, and ran out of the bedroom with a cloak on.

"Princess?" Xia Hua was taken aback, "Where are you going?"

His voice was disturbed by the wind very softly: "I'll go find Uncle Jiu."

...Xia Chaosheng wanted to listen to Uncle Jiu and tell him the answer.

The author has something to say: Xia Chaosheng will definitely find out!he's still smart
