Reborn as a King in the Hand

In the study was not only Mu Rugui, but also Qin Xuanlang who had just found Mu Rugui.

Xia Chao hurriedly rushed in, then stood there awkwardly.

"Chaosheng?" Mu Rugui was startled, and walked quickly to his side. Seeing his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, his heart sank, "But what's wrong with your body?"

Xia Chaosheng was still a little uncertain at first, but now seeing Uncle Jiu's nervous expression, he completely understood.

What is there to doubt?

Mu Rugui's performance was obvious.

"No." Xia Chaosheng swallowed back the smile, looked at Mu Rugui's face as if he was facing an enemy, and made up a reason, "I just wanted to ask you what you want for dinner."

Mu Rugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Listen to you... just don't use the ones that are too sour."

"Why?" He deliberately asked back.

An unnatural expression suddenly appeared on Mu Rugui's face.

Thinking about it, it was really not easy for the straightforward Ninth Prince to lie to his concubine.

Xia Chaosheng held back his laughter, leaned in front of Mu Rugui, and urged, "Uncle Jiu..."

"Toothache." Mu Rugui racked his brains to come up with an excuse, "It's better not to eat too much."

He let out a long "Oh" and turned away contentedly.

Qin Xuanlang, who had been standing quietly all this time, pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands in congratulations: "Congratulations, my lord."

Mu Rugui looked away from Xia Chaosheng's walking back, sporadic smiles welled up in his eyes.

Qin Xuanlang said again: "I think the princess is an open-minded person, why did the prince hide the news that the princess is pregnant?"

"Chaosheng is naturally open-minded." Mu Rugui paused, with a hint of helplessness appearing between his stern eyebrows, "But first of all, the emperor is afraid of me. If he knows that Chaosheng has my flesh and blood in his belly, he may I have a heart to do harm, so the fewer people who know about it, the better; secondly... Taoist Tiankun of Xuantian Temple is worried that life will be greatly sad and happy, which will be bad for me, so he advises me to hide it a little bit."

Qin Xuanlang suddenly realized: "My lord is right...but, why did Taoist Tiankun suggest to conceal it?"

A look of worry flashed across Mu Rugui's eyes: "Taoist Tiankun never speaks falsely."

Without Qin Xuanlang saying it, Mu Rugui had thought of this.

According to Taoist Tiankun's nonchalant temperament, he probably wanted to see Xia Chaosheng panicked when he found out that he was pregnant.

But now he is told to conceal it, I am afraid that there is another deep meaning.

Mu Rugui's worries have nothing to do with Xia Chaosheng.

He wandered back to the bedroom in a very good mood, and couldn't fall asleep, so he sat under the window sill and looked at the birds perched on the branches of the peach tree.

"Princess, be careful of freezing." Qiu Chan slightly closed the window, knelt aside, and poured a cup of warm water for him, "The wind in spring is cold and warm for a while, if you are really sick, it will be bad .”

"It's really not good." Xia Zhaosheng's eyes still stayed on the bird, and when he saw it burying its head in its wings and combing its feathers, he looked away and sighed silently, "I'm afraid it won't happen for a long time. alright."

Qiu Chan was terrified by Xia Chaosheng's tone: "What did the princess say? If it's unlucky, just bah!"

"Bah, what bah, there is no one right in front of the princess." Xia Hua who came from outside the house only heard Qiu Chan's words behind her, and frowned sullenly, "If outsiders hear it, they will still laugh at our Hou Fu's lack of rules. "

Qiu Chan stuck out her tongue and muttered softly: "When outsiders hear it, they won't say that our Hou's mansion has no rules, but only that the Wang's mansion has no rules."

Xia Hua was taken aback for a moment: "You..."

Xia Chaosheng sat beside him and laughed.

He was good-looking, and he also looked good when he smiled. Xia Hua was about to have a fit, but she felt embarrassed when she met his face. Finally, she stomped her feet and knelt under the window, serving Qiu Chan and pouring tea for Xia Chaosheng.

What Xia Hua poured was scented tea for body conditioning, which was prepared by Taoist Tiankun himself, and was secretly sent to the palace a few days ago.

Xia Chaosheng looked at it quietly for a moment, and then said something surprising: "I have the flesh and blood of the prince in my stomach, do parents know?"

Qiu Chan didn't recover at first, and shook her head carelessly: "My lord said that your body has not been fully recuperated, so let's not let us..."

Her words were interrupted by Xia Hua's exclamation: "Princess!"

Qiu Chan also exclaimed belatedly: "Princess!"

Xia Chaosheng looked at his maid amusedly: "What's the matter, is it hard to guess?"

Xia Hua and Qiu Chan looked at each other, but neither dared to speak.

It's not that they don't want to talk about it, but that Mu Rugui specifically told her before that no one should reveal the fact that the princess is pregnant.

Even if they saw Mu Rugui's attitude towards Xia Chaosheng with their own eyes, they still had deep fear in their hearts, so they really dare not reveal a word.

"Princess, how... did you know?" Xia Hua asked hesitantly.

"What's so difficult about this?" Xia Chaosheng sighed, and motioned for Qiu Chan to bring the letter on the couch, "The prince is not a person who is good at hiding. His attitude towards me is so strange, of course I have to doubt it."

Xia Hua and Qiu Chan secretly glanced at each other, each slandering each other.

...It turned out that the prince showed his feet.

"Plus the recent meals..." Xia Chaosheng took the letter from Qiu Chan, rolled it into a roll, and tapped the maid's head lightly, "Can I not guess?"

Qiu Chan shrank her neck with a smile: "Wang Hao is right, it's the servant girl who is too obvious."

Xia Hua thought more deeply: "Since the concubine already knows, the prince..."

"You don't need to tell him." Xia Chaosheng looked at Xia Hua who spoke, and smiled softly, "He doesn't want me to know, of course he has his reasons, why should I make him worry?"

Xia Chaosheng lowered his eyes and spread the letter on his lap.

The bright spring light flowed on the letter, and he remembered the pulse diagnosis by Taoist Tiankun on Jinshan.

Uncle Jiu should have known at that time that he was expecting a child, right?

Xia Zhaosheng's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He didn't believe that Uncle Jiu would deliberately conceal himself, so there was only one possibility - Taoist Tian Kun asked Uncle Jiu to conceal his pregnancy.

But why?

Xia Chaosheng held his chin, took the teacup from Qiu Chan, and concentrated on thinking.

If he knew that he was pregnant, he would definitely tell the Hou Fu, and then... the whole world would know.

"Oh." Xia Chaosheng pinched his brows in distress.

"Princess, but I don't want to..." Xia Hua looked at him worriedly.

"If it's someone else, I definitely don't want it." He shook his head, "But if it's for Uncle Jiu...you know my choice."

Xia Hua naturally knew Xia Chaosheng's choice, but she was relieved to hear what he said.

"I just think that this kind of life is hard." Xia Chaosheng looked gloomy, "I am pregnant, in order not to make Liang Wang suspicious, I have to endure it, but Uncle Jiu, I don't know how many years have passed like this, it must be more difficult than me. "

Just talking about those years in Jiaxingguan, you have to endure what ordinary people can't bear, not to mention, you have to beware of King Liang's jealousy from time to time. Just thinking about it, Xia Chaosheng wanted to rush to the Jinluan Hall to complain for Jiu Shu.

"Princess, don't worry." Seeing his expression changed, Xia Hua hastily reminded him softly, "My lord endures what ordinary people can't bear, and naturally he can accomplish what ordinary people can't."

Xia Chaosheng gave a "hmm", lifted the letter again, and looked at it seriously.

In front of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, there are birds at the door.

Ever since the King of Liang said that Mu Ruxu had no destiny for the throne, except for his counselors who had followed him for many years, all the grassroots fled in a hurry.

Mu Ruxu finally understood why the former imperial brother used wine to relieve his worries.

Because, when he was sitting in the empty mansion, looking at the imperial city within reach, feeling ashamed, only wine could soothe his mind.

But Mu Ruxu was not Mu Ruqi, he managed to keep his sense of consciousness, and persisted until the person who went out to inquire about the news came back.

But for several days, no one found any useful news.

Mu Ruxu's nerves were tense to the extreme, his eyes were bloodshot, his sanity was crumbling, and there was only a thin line between him and his collapse.

"Your Highness, my subordinates failed to find out the news."

"How could it not...how could it not be?!" Mu Ruxu slammed his hand on the table and muttered to himself, "If not, why did my father hate me? If not, why did my father specifically mention me? mother concubine?"

"Your Highness, the matter in the palace... It is really difficult for us to investigate, unless we can find the old man, maybe we can find a clue."

"The person from back then?" Mu Ruxu gritted his teeth, "When my mother and concubine passed away, I was still in my infancy, and soon my father fostered me in Concubine Ning's palace. It would be very difficult to find him today."

"Your Highness, no matter how difficult it is, you have to try!"

"Forget it, go try it." Mu Ruxu waved his hands hopelessly, and fell into a deep daze, "If not, it's probably because Father doesn't like me."

Another day later, the person who went to inquire about the news returned.

"Can you find out what's wrong?" Mu Ruxu held on to the last sliver of hope, and asked with difficulty, "My mother and concubine, what mistakes did you make back then?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, this subordinate... this subordinate has not found the old man from back then, but...but..."

"Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly!" Mu Ruxu's forehead popped out a vein, and he accidentally smashed the teacup on the table.

However, no one cared about the teacup that fell on the ground, and everyone's eyes fell on the dark guard who was kneeling on the ground.

The dark guard lowered his head slightly, and said word by word: "Returning to Your Highness, my subordinates have tracked down a few old people around the empress. Two of them have passed away three years ago, and there are three others. They lost track at Jiaxing Pass."

"Jiaxing Pass?" The counselors gasped.

Someone immediately speculated: "Could it be related to the Ninth Prince?"

"The Ninth Prince is in command of the Xuanjia cavalry. It's hard to say whether he will have the heart of disobedience!"

Of course, there are counselors who hold different opinions: "It has something to do with Jiaxing Pass, not necessarily the Ninth Prince. Jiaxing Pass is the border of Daliang. If the old people around Li Concubine want to leave Daliang, it is not unusual to pass through Jiaxing Pass."

Suddenly, an unconfident voice came out from the crowd: "But...why do they all leave Daliang from Jiaxing Pass?"

The room was silent.

It was a young doorman who spoke. Seeing everyone's eyes on his face, he blushed immediately and stammered: "I...I mean, to get out of Jiaxing Pass, you can only... You can only go to Youyun Sixteen Continents. Who doesn’t know that there are Di people everywhere in Youyun Sixteen Continents? ...There must be other options!"

The more the young doorman talked, the more he felt that what he said was reasonable, and he didn't shut up until he was scolded by several counselors.

And those counselors couldn't restrain their horrified expressions.

The young doorman had no idea what he had guessed.

If the old people around Concubine Li returned to Youyun Sixteen Continents without hesitation after leaving Daliang, it meant that they were probably all Di people.

What does it mean that there are so many Di people around the concubine in the palace?

It means that Empress Li is probably also from Di.

Mu Ruxu also thought of this.

"How is it possible, my mother and concubine... how could it be Di Ren?!" He categorically denied, "My eyes are not as green as Di Ren's. How could Di Ren's blood flow from my body?!"

But Mu Ruxu saw the panic in the eyes of several advisers.

That's right, the prince who has been assisting for many years is actually a descendant of the Di people, and their sincerity will definitely disappear.

Because they are the counselors of the Liang people, not the Di people.

"Impossible, impossible!" Mu Ruxuwu went crazy and drove all the counselors out of the Prince's Mansion.

This time, no one stayed, and many counselors stopped in front of the mansion, turned around and bowed, and then left with a flick of their sleeves.

From today onwards, they are no longer the counselors of the Fifth Prince.

They won't be coming back.

Mu Ruxu stood alone in the empty main room with a distorted and hideous expression.

With a voice that only he could hear, he said to himself: "I don't believe it... I don't believe it..."

Mu Ruxu suddenly thought of a person—the ex-prince, Mu Ruqi, who was crippled and trapped in a remote palace, lingering on his last breath.

Mu Ruqi was born of Queen Qin, so maybe he knows something.

Mu Ruxu pushed open the door violently, and amidst the exclamation of the attendants, he ordered loudly: "Prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace!"

Even if King Liang said that Mu Ruxu had no chance of ascending the throne, he was still the righteous prince of Daliang, so the Jinwu guards in front of the palace did not dare to stop him, and even the little eunuchs in the palace were as attentive as before.

Only Mu Ruxu knew that everything had changed.

For a man who gave everything to inherit the throne, everything has changed.

In the evening, there was a drizzle of rain.

Mu Ruxu pushed away the eunuch holding the umbrella, and kicked open the palace door.

The stench was tangy, and he was forcefully smoked out again.

"Your Highness, please don't go in, the one inside has gone crazy recently!" The little eunuch rushed forward to protect Mu Ruxu from the rain, "He was talking nonsense every day, and he even said he saw a ghost."

"Crazy?" Mu Ruxu's eyes flickered, "Did he say anything?"

The little eunuch knew everything: "What else can I say? It's just that there are ghosts... Fuck, how could there be ghosts?"

For some reason, Mu Ruxu heaved a sigh of relief, took the handkerchief handed over by the young eunuch, covered his mouth and nose, and walked into the hall again.

There was no light in the dilapidated hall, and the broken corner of the window creaked.

Mu Ruxu raised his head, and vaguely caught a glimpse of the broken spider web.

Terrible groans/groans lingered in the hall, like a dying beast, and the last few sounds were full of death-like murmurs.

Mu Ruxu shuddered for no reason, and then saw Mu Ruqi, who was emaciated on the couch.

He was shocked and took several steps back: "This is Mu Ruqi?"

The little eunuch's hand was tightly squeezed by Mu Ruxu, and he gasped in pain: "Go back to Your Highness... yes... yes... Your Highness the former crown prince..."

"How come..." Mu Ruxu shuddered.

Lying on the couch, where is his once proud elder brother?

Obviously, it is a breathing skeleton.

"Ghost...Ghost..." The hoarse and dry choked sobs floated into Mu Ruxu's ears along the cold wind.

He widened his eyes and asked involuntarily, "What?"

Mu Ruqi, who was lying on the couch, suddenly laughed: "You are ghosts...you are all ghosts..."

The cold wind swished, and the little eunuch was scared out of his wits by Mu Ruqi's words. If it wasn't for the fact that the fifth prince was still pulling his hand, he might have fled the door long ago.

Mu Ruqi seemed to have sensed it, and moved his neck with difficulty, and his hair like withered grass fell from the front of the couch with the movement.

Mu Ruxu seemed to smell a rotten smell.

"You...you..." Mu Ruqi didn't seem to know Mu Ruxu anymore, his bloodless lips parted and closed for a long time, and the word "ghost" was still uttered.

Mu Ruxu only felt that his whole body was shrouded in a terrifying chill, and turned around to leave.

But he thought of his mother and concubine again, so under the terrified eyes of the little eunuch, he bravely stopped and said, "Go outside and wait for me."

The little eunuch responded gratefully, and stumbled to the outside of the hall, and the sound of footsteps followed, as if he had run away.

There were only two brothers left in the empty hall.

Mu Ruxu swallowed, and forced himself to be calm: "Brother Emperor, it's me."

"Brother Huang...Brother Huang..." Mu Ruqi on the couch acted like a child, repeating Mu Ruxu's words foolishly, laughing nervously, "It's a ghost...it's all a ghost."

"Brother Huang, don't you know me?" Mu Ruxu resisted the discomfort, leaned over to the bed, "I'm Mu Ruxu."

"Mu Ruxu, Mu Ruxu..." The former prince lying on the bed repeated the name unconsciously, with foul-smelling saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Mu Ruxu's patience was completely exhausted.

He felt that it was a mistake for him to come to the palace to find Mu as expected.

This is the madman who ruined his good life in the palace after losing the right to inherit the throne.

He can't become the same as Mu Rushou.

Even if he really misses the throne, he can't become a skeleton who can only speak nonsense.

Mu Ruxu clenched his hands tightly, and walked stiffly to the front of the hall, when he suddenly heard a wail that sounded like crying or laughing: "Mu Ruxu...you're so dirty...your blood...haha, you're better than me! Might as well!"

This sound, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, directly nailed the Fifth Prince in place.

"What did you say?" His hand was firmly on the door of the palace, and unconsciously, five bloodstains were left on the dusty door of the temple, "What did you say about me?!"

Mu Ruxu rushed back, lifted Mu Ruqi who looked like a dead man from the bed, and shook wildly: "Why do you say that I am not as good as you?! You are...you are an eunuch, and you actually said that I am not as good as you!"

Mu Ruqi, who was already crazy, smiled foolishly, and then took advantage of Mu Ruxu's unpreparedness, spit at him: "Hahaha, of course you are not as good as me, you are...you are a bastard...hahaha, Mu Ruxu Xu is a bastard!"

The word "bastard" was like a basin of cold water, completely waking Mu Ruxu awake.

He reluctantly let go of his hand, allowing Mu to fall to the ground as expected, panting in pain, and then staggeringly walked out of the hall step by step.

Seeing this, the little eunuch in the distance immediately ran over holding an umbrella: "Your Highness, you... oh, why are your hands bleeding?"

The little eunuch hurriedly took out his handkerchief, as if to wipe Mu Ruxu's wound.

But Mu Ruxu pushed him away and ran into the continuous spring rain alone.

The cold rain hit the fifth prince's face, he grinned silently, and murmured with a smile: "I see... I see."

It turned out that he was really not as good as Mu Ruqi.

Even if Mu Ruqi loses his position in the East Palace, even if he is physically disabled, even if he is in a cold side hall with no one caring about him, the most noble blood of Daliang still flows on his body.

not like him.

It is a bastard whose biological mother is Di Ren.

Mu Ruxu was walking in a daze on the empty palace road, he fell many somersaults, and got up countless times, his whole body was soaked.

But his eyes gradually burst into a mad light.

"So what if I'm a bastard?" Mu Ruxu clenched his scarred fists and looked at the Jinluan Palace soaked in the rain, "Father, you...you have no other choice."

Not far away, Chang Zhong, who was holding Fuchen, stood under the eaves, staring indifferently at the back of the fifth prince, and whispered to the little eunuch beside him: "Go and find out, who is on duty today."

The little eunuch ran away cleverly.

"Things that don't have long eyes, why did the fifth prince get close to the former prince?" Chang Zhong shook his head repeatedly, looked at the crimson palace wall, and sighed, "Something is going to happen."

That night, Mu Rugui received news from the palace.

Xia Chaosheng had already rested, curled up into a small ball on the couch, he seemed to be protecting his lower abdomen, but Mu Rugui knew, how could he have such thoughts?

He just felt curled up and sleeping, that's all.

Mu Rugui lit the secret letter from the palace on the candle.

The crimson flame devoured the letter covered with handwriting, and also dyed his deep eyes with heat.

Mu Rugui couldn't wait to finish burning the letter, walked to the bed, and hugged the sleepy Xia Chaosheng in his arms.

He moaned in his dream: "Uncle Jiu."

Mu Rugui's heart softened, and he responded in a hoarse voice: "En."

Xia Chaosheng turned over, hugged the quilt and continued talking in his sleep.

Mu Rugui leaned over lightly, and listened intently—Mu Rugui's hearing is considered good, but the words spoken by the sleeping person are vague, no matter how hard they listen, they can only hear sporadic words .

Mu Rugui lay down again, and gently lifted the brocade quilt.

Xia Chaosheng was still humming.

Mu Rugui blew out the candlestick contentedly, and the person beside him suddenly turned around and kicked over——

Xia Chaosheng was not very active, and Mu Rugui didn't care at all, but the dream words that came out of his mouth were particularly intriguing, so Mu Rugui had to care.

Xia Chaosheng curled his lips in grievance, and muttered, "I'm suffocating you."

Mu Rugui: "...?"

The author has something to say: To suffocate you has two meanings.

1. If you don't talk, it will suffocate you.

2. Hey hey hey, I'm suffocating you.

Guess which one Chaosheng refers to hahaha
