glory [rebirth]

"Don't be angry, can you listen to me?" Mu Qingtong held Jiang Yao's hand and said patiently.

"What can I say?" Jiang Yao said indifferently.

Mu Qingtong was almost a head shorter than Jiang Yao. He put his arms around Jiang Yao's waist, but Jiang Yao didn't stop his hand and let him hold him.

Mu Qingtong leaned his head on Jiang Yao's chest and said, "Jiang Yao, you will be enthroned soon, so there must be no more mistakes."

Jiang Yao didn't answer.

"You asked Damian to go undercover to find evidence that Herman controlled the informant, just to bring him down..." Mu Qingtong said, "But it's not enough."

Jiang Yao was wearing thick clothes, but Mu Qingtong could still feel the beating rhythm of his heart.

"No...have you already used the evidence of his control over the informant?" Mu Qingtong asked suddenly.

Jiang Yao did not deny it.

"If you want to hand over the military power, Herman will definitely vote against it. The two largest legions in the empire are the Black Swan and the Thorn... If you want them to hand over the military power, the biggest resistance is the Black Swan." Mu Qingtong He speculated, "So if you have his handle in your hand, it will go much smoother... You have already got through with him before the meeting, right?"

Jiang Yao never denied that Mu Qingtong was one of the most reasoning people he had ever met, as long as he was given a little information, he would slowly restore the whole context of the matter.

This is his strength, but also his fatality. People who think too much usually have more thoughts than others. Mu Qingtong's previous psychological pressure also came from his constant reasoning and brain supplementation, and his brain never rested for a moment. , making him almost collapse.

"But even if you have military power, it's still not enough." Mu Qingtong said, "If you want to completely eliminate his threat, you must find evidence of his treason. However, he has no other grounds for you to arrest except for that experiment. .”

Jiang Yao: "..."

"Yes, I know, you don't want to admit it, but as far as you find out that there is something wrong with the informant, if you keep going, you may not find Herman. He You must pave the way for yourself, otherwise he won't just sit around and let you restrain him."

Mu Qingtong raised his head and looked into Jiang Yao's eyes: "He compromised with you, but he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. After all, his ultimate goal is not to fight, but to replace you without anyone noticing."

"So for my country, for my throne, I am even willing to use my wife and children who have been waiting for 20 years?" Jiang Yao sarcastically said, "Let my pregnant wife leave my side and run to the enemy, cooperating inside and outside? "

"No, that's not what I meant." Mu Qingtong put his hand on Jiang Yao's waist.

"Mu Qingtong, do you have to let me tell you that you are as important as my throne?" Jiang Yao's gaze was as sharp as a sharp knife, piercing Mu Qingtong's eyes.

Mu Qingtong said urgently: "Can you listen to me?"

Jiang Yao sneered.

Mu Qingtong was very anxious, sighed, stood up a little, pulled Jiang Yao's wrist and put it on his lower abdomen: "Jiang Yao, you must know that I love you too, so much that I am willing to accept my physique and give birth to this baby for you." child."

There was a trace of being touched on Jiang Yao's expression.

"I, you, Liangliang, the three of us are a family." Mu Qingtong said, "You have been working hard to keep your throne, and I can't stand by. It's just like you did a lot for me before, You keep giving for me and I keep receiving, it's your way of expressing love."

Jiang Yao was a little embarrassed by Mu Qingtong's enthusiastic eyes, and secretly moved his eyes away a little, and looked at Mu Qingtong's nose instead.

"Although in this family, you play the role of the husband, and I am your wife. But don't forget that I am a man like you, and my values ​​are the same as yours. So I will try my best I will do my best for you, to protect you and this family, which is also my responsibility and obligation." Mu Qingtong frowned slightly, and reached out to touch Jiang Yao's face.

Jiang Yao turned his head slightly and touched his palm with his lips.

"I have my own abilities. I can do many things for you besides staying by your side and not causing you trouble. I used to be a member of the counterintelligence department. Even in my previous life, I have provided you with a lot Information, isn't it?" Mu Qingtong continued, "And this time, I am the most critical part of this incident."

"Hmm..." Jiang Yao responded, making Mu Qingtong's palms itch.

"If I'm not wrong, they also hope that I will be cornered and go to them by themselves, because in their eyes, the relationship between the two of us has been deadlocked for a long time, especially after the attack. Your entire battle plan has been destroyed. It's messed up, and you risk a royal scandal."

"No disruption." Jiang Yao grabbed Mu Qingtong's finger and kissed it, then said.

"Don't think I don't know." Mu Qingtong whispered, "You planned to finish the war in a week because you were concerned about the nuclear bombs in their hands. You activated all the lasers that day and detonated them all in that area. The ecology has been completely destroyed, and you clearly know that Damian is still inside, and some of our informants have not withdrawn, but you still gave the order."

"..." Jiang Yao was so questioned by him that he couldn't answer for a while. After a while, he said, "I can't consider everyone. This is not a war of several people. There must be sacrifices in the process. They are mentally prepared. What I want to pursue in the end is an overall victory, not to save someone. Just like in order to accomplish one thing, I must choose to sacrifice two or five people. What I give up must be two Do you understand?"

Mu Qingtong nodded with her eyes closed, and raised her hand to signal him not to speak further.

"Continue with what we just discussed, don't mention this for now." Mu Qingtong said, "Did the military academy send me a notice of withdrawal?"

Jiang Yao: "..."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Mu Qingtong smiled lightly and said knowingly: "If they want to cut off my retreat, this is the inevitable result. When Colonel Lawson recruited me into the military academy last year, Lieutenant Colonel Mario was bypassed directly because he was worried that Herman's informants in the military academy would know about it. Since there are so many of his informants in the military academy, it would be easy to expel me. This is the first step of their plan."

Jiang Yao acquiesced in the correctness of his reasoning, glanced at the clock on the wall, took two steps suddenly, put his arm around Mu Qingtong's shoulder, and said, "You should lie down."

"Oh..." Mu Qingtong did stand for a long time during the time he was speaking, and the situation in front of him was not suitable for exercise, so he took a step obediently.

"Stop!" Jiang Yao ordered suddenly.

Mu Qingtong just raised one leg: "?"

Jiang Yao leaned over without saying a word, and hugged Mu Qingtong horizontally.

Mu Qingtong: "!!!"

Mu Qingtong's eyes widened, and he hugged Jiang Yao's neck involuntarily.

With great strength, Jiang Yao picked him up very easily, and then walked towards the bed.

"What are you doing?" Mu Qingtong was not used to this action of his, and even felt a little embarrassed.

It's not that Jiang Yao didn't hug him like this before, but that was after the two of them finished. He was so tired that he didn't want to move his fingers at all, so he let Jiang Yao hug him to the bathroom to take a bath, and then went back to bed.

But it was the first time in such a sober situation.

"Ten minutes are up, you are not allowed to walk." Jiang Yao said succinctly.

Mu Qingtong couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Okay, okay."

Mu Qingtong sat on the bed, leaning forward to pull the quilt, Jiang Yao gave him a glare, so Mu Qingtong withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

Only then did Jiang Yao look away, carefully tucked the quilt up for him, and then took a chair and sat beside him.

"Let's continue." Mu Qingtong said, "The first step is to let me have no student status. If there is such a record in my file, I will never be admitted to any university. Without a degree, it will be very important to my future life. Unfavorable. Then if they want to make the relationship between the two of us more rigid in the second step, they will definitely find ways to intensify the conflict between the two of us, right?"

Jiang Yao nodded.

"What is the most likely to intensify the conflict between us now?" Mu Qingtong asked himself and answered, "It is nothing more than a question of whether to admit it or not. The reputation of the royal family is very important to you. Once I am expelled, there will be a lot of problems." People are guessing who the child in my stomach is. If I say that the father of the child is you, it will deal a fatal blow to the image you have worked so hard to erect. According to the regulations of the military academy, the two of us will be expelled together, the royal family It will be the laughing stock of the whole country."

"And then?" Jiang Yao listened carefully to Mu Qingtong's analysis, then stood up suddenly, poured him a cup of hot water and handed it over.

Mu Qingtong took it, took a sip, and continued: "So our conflict lies in whether you will admit this child in public for me."

"I won't for the time being." Jiang Yao said bluntly.

Mu Qingtong nodded in understanding: "I understand."

"Don't think too much." Jiang Yao said again.

"No." Mu Qingtong said firmly.

"Our biggest advantage now is that they don't know that you have come back to life, and they don't know how stable our relationship is."

The last sentence undoubtedly pleased Jiang Yao.Mu Qingtong spoke very intently, his lips were rosy and elastic, with a drop of water on them, probably a little itchy, so he unconsciously stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it, which made Jiang Yao look distracted for a while.

Jiang Yao: "Cough..."

Mu Qingtong: "?"

Jiang Yao: "You continue."

"Oh..." Mu Qingtong did not doubt that he was there, and continued, "So they will infer according to common sense, and I will always entangle with you about the status. But what you showed at the beginning is that you don't like this child, I kept him on my own initiative while you were not around, and in the end there was such a big trouble. You must be furious, so you will not admit that this child is yours, and maybe you will do it even worse. "

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yao asked.

"Well... aren't you going back to the city of Yar now? It's easy to do these things." Mu Qingtong scratched his nose and explained, "For example, in order to let me listen to you, you directly broke the All my sources of income. Isn’t my mother still in this hospital? You pay thousands of dollars a day for medicine and nursing care. Even if you don’t consider my mother’s situation, I have a high school degree. I’m still pregnant, so it’s impossible for me to have a source of income. After the child is born, I can’t afford to support it on my own.”

Jiang Yao thought for a while, then nodded, signaling Mu Qingtong to continue.

"This problem will go on endlessly, and we will continue to quarrel. People are selfish, and at critical moments, they are basically for their own sake." Mu Qingtong said, "So, we will quarrel endlessly. "

Jiang Yao nodded, and after a few seconds, he suddenly realized something, glanced at Mu Qingtong, and said, "Why didn't you tell me the day before yesterday?"

Mu Qingtong seemed a little guilty, he hesitated and said: "I...I..."

"What are you?" Jiang Yao sighed helplessly, and wanted to get angry again. After struggling for a long time, he was still not willing to get angry with him, "You told me directly that day that you were going to go undercover just to make me lose my temper. It's part of your plan to be heard by people outside."

"Hmm..." Mu Qingtong admitted in a very low voice.

"I'm sorry." Mu Qingtong took Jiang Yao's hand and apologized with his head down.

Jiang Yao ignored him.

Mu Qingtong looked at Jiang Yao's appearance, squeezed his mouth and grabbed his wrist, bringing the distance between the two closer, and then kissed him: "Forgive me?"

Jiang Yao still didn't speak.

Mu Qingtong had no choice but to kiss him again, this time the two kissed for a longer time, until the air between them became thin and Mu Qingtong was a little out of breath before Jiang Yao let him go.

"Forgive me?" Mu Qingtong asked again.

"Hmm." Jiang Yao replied vaguely.

Mu Qingtong smiled and said to him: "I won't risk my child, I want to give birth to him."

"What are your next plans?"

"After a while, let them think that the relationship between the two of us has broken down, and I will leave the hospital." Mu Qingtong said, "Because this time I almost had a miscarriage, which more or less affected my body. There will be no more stimulation, and a little carelessness may endanger my life, Herman will not be clear about this..."

"Wait." Jiang Yao interrupted him.

"what happened?"

Jiang Yao recalled for a while, and asked: "Didn't you tell me before that Herman would not do anything to hurt you? Then how to explain this attack, you almost died, do you know?"

Mu Qingtong also had doubts on his expression, but he still insisted on his opinion: "I still believe in my intuition. Things can't always develop according to people's will, and there may be troubles in the middle. At this juncture, Herman wants to kill me. It's too illogical. Unless he doesn't want to do this experiment anymore, and just started a civil war like you did in your previous life, why would he agree to you to hand over his military power?"

"En." Jiang Yao thought for a while, but agreed with Mu Qingtong's speculation, "Continue."

"So my idea is that after I had Liangliang..."

Jiang Yao: "..."

When Jiang Yao heard this name, he still couldn't help but feel disgusted. What about Liangliang, does it mean that he has the potential to be a small light bulb since he was a child?

"...You put pressure on me gradually, and the specific steps are up to you. In short, you want to push me into a dead end. If you want Herman to believe that I have no choice but to go to him, we will succeed." Mu Qingtong said.

"The next thing has to be up to you, Jiang Yao." Mu Qingtong's eyes were gentle, as if there was endless entrustment and trust in them, "You have to find a way to protect this child, which I can't do with my own strength Yes. You have too many resources that I don’t have, and without you, my plan cannot be implemented smoothly.”

Mu Qingtong's weakness made Jiang Yao very useful, he nodded and said, "Okay."

"By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?" Mu Qingtong asked with a smile.

Jiang Yao glanced at Mu Qingtong's stomach and said, "It's nothing, I just hope this kid can look like you."

"Isn't it good to look like you?" Mu Qingtong asked dumbfounded.

"I really didn't want him at first," Jiang Yao said.

"Ok, I know."

"Then I thought about it for a long time, until I saw a chubby, small you in front of me...Suddenly I became very reluctant." Jiang Yao said.

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Mu Qingtong looked at him speechlessly for a while.

Jiang Yao cleared his throat, changed the subject and said, "What are you going to do now?"

"Test your acting skills." Mu Qingtong said, "We must have quarreled more than once, but it won't be as intense as the first time... No, we have to follow the trend of the outside world."

"..." Jiang Yao didn't often lose his temper with Mu Qingtong, and he really couldn't get into the mood all of a sudden, and he still couldn't hold back his laughter after thinking about it for a long time.

Mu Qingtong smiled at him.

Jiang Yao showed embarrassment and said, "Be serious!"

Mu Qingtong saluted him: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Jiang Yao: "..."

Four days later, the apartment was downstairs.

"Slow, go slowly," Schwartz said.

He helped Damian out of the car and walked into the apartment slowly. Damian was still limping when he walked, and his legs were the most serious injuries.

When he was discharged from the hospital, he weighed himself. He was two pounds lighter than when he was in the hospital, and he looked too thin.

During Damian's hospitalization, Mrs. Ferguson called and asked Damian if he was busy recently, and she would come over to see if it was convenient.

Damian didn't dare to let her see him now, so he quickly refused, saying that he still had something to do in Yar City, and he had to work with His Highness on the post-war work arrangement.

Mrs. Ferguson didn't doubt what he said, and calculated that the holiday would not be far away, so she told him to go home early after the holiday.

Damian hurriedly agreed, saying that he would go back as soon as he finished his work.

"If my parents really came here now, what would you do?" Damian still couldn't imagine the scene.

Schwartz was still trying his best to support Damian to go forward, but he didn't hear what he said, and turned back in a daze: "Huh?"

Damian stretched out his hand and pulled the bangs on his forehead, and pressed his hand down. Unsurprisingly, he felt a thin layer of sweat, so he moved his weight back calmly, trying to reduce the pressure on Schwartz. the weight of.

"I said, what would you do if my parents suddenly saw the two of us dating?" Damian asked again.

The two had already reached the elevator, and Schwartz was about to reach out to press the button, but Damian's hand was longer than his, and he pressed it down first.

So Schwartz looked up at him and said, "Just, let's do this..."

"You're too nervous to speak, aren't you?" Damian smiled.

Schwartz hummed softly and ignored him.

Damian thought his appearance was very interesting, and continued: "Hey, really, didn't I tell you before, I will take you to our house when I am on vacation, and I will teach you how to ski."

"You are already like this, how can you ski, ski." Schwartz helped Damian into the elevator while talking, "Take care of your body first, and now you are like this, you can't, you can't go home."

Then the elevator door slowly closed, and there were only him and Schwartz inside, so he quickly lowered his head and kissed Schwartz on the face, and said doglegly, "Well, my wife is right..."

Schwartz covered the place where he was kissed, turned his head and stared at him and said, "So-and-so is your wife!"

Damian stood behind him, his whole body stuck to him, his arms wrapped around him like an octopus, and he said shamelessly, "I'm so miserable, even my wife doesn't recognize me..."

"You..." Schwartz blushed again. He didn't know how to answer, so he simply turned his head and completely isolated Damian from his field of vision.

Damian accepted it as soon as he saw it, and followed Schwartz slowly to the door of the apartment.

"This is the second time I've come here." Damian said, "I didn't buy you candy this time."

"Not yet finished." Schwartz replied.

"It's been so long and you haven't finished eating?" Damian asked strangely. Seeing Schwartz reaching out to help him again, he hurriedly said, "You don't need to help me, I can walk by myself."

Schwartz found slippers for Damian, and then replied: "Too much sugar is not good, so I ate it slowly...I will go to the kitchen to make you something to eat first."

"Ah."

"You can watch TV in the living room, and I'll call you when you're done." Schwartz said while rolling up his sleeves, "Do you want to eat omelet rice?"

"Ok."

Damian watched Schwartz enter the kitchen, put on his apron, and cracked two eggs into a bowl.

His movements are not proficient, but very serious.

Looking at his back, Damian suddenly had mixed feelings, and walked forward without holding back.

After Schwartz had beaten the eggs, he set them aside and started chopping the carrots.

Damian walked behind him and hugged his waist. Schwartz was startled by him, but he didn't let him go. He only looked back at him, and then continued to chop vegetables slowly.

Damian stretched out his hand to completely cover Schwartz's hand, corrected his posture with the knife, and said, "It will cut faster this way."

"Ah? Is that..." Schwartz wondered.

Damian held his hand and cut a few times, and said, "Remember to use your nails on your left hand, or you will cut your hand."

"It's really much faster than mine." Schwartz said happily.

"I have something even better." Damian said mysteriously.

Schwartz asked stupidly: "What else?"

Damian bumped him from behind.

It took a few seconds for Schwartz to react, his face was flushed with shame, but he was still holding a knife in his hand, and his hand was still held by Damian, so it was inconvenient to push him away, so he could only protest loudly: " You are a hooligan!"

Damian smiled without saying a word, and continued to teach him how to cut carrots.

"It doesn't matter if you cut slowly at the beginning, it will be fine when you are proficient." Damian said.

"Hmm..." The tips of Schwartz's ears were all red, and they looked a little shiny.

Damian wants to take a bite, but holds back and concentrates on chopping.

The two stood in the kitchen like Siamese twins, cutting half a carrot so that they lost track of time.

After a long time, Damian suddenly said, "That's great."

"What?" Schwartz asked.

Damian held Schwartz's hand and put down the knife, hugged him, smelled the faint breath from his body, felt a softness in his heart, and repeated: "I said it's so good now."
