Chapter 35 Negotiations

It took more than a month to prepare for Mu Renhan's enthronement ceremony, and now the dust has settled.

Li Yan, the last emperor of Dachu, was killed while fleeing, and his body has been transported back to the capital.

Cang Bi knew that some things could no longer be delayed.

The snow in the deep winter has not stopped, and the entire Anluo City is covered in white.

Cang Bi knelt in the snow, letting the snow up to her knees melt and freeze.

He has been kneeling here for a whole day, but Mu Renhan has no intention of letting go.Cang Bi looked at the sky and felt that she had lost all feeling in her legs.He knew that if he knelt like this again, these two legs might really be lost, but he still had to grit his teeth and keep going.

This is the sorrow of traveling to ancient times. No matter how powerful you are, you can't shake the feudal regime that has lasted for thousands of years.Although Cang Bi lamented from the bottom of his heart, the eldest sister and nephew were probably the last obsessions in Gu Congzhi's heart, and he felt that he had to continue to persevere no matter what.

"Master Gu." A strange face appeared in front of Cang Bi.

Mu Renhan's accession to the throne naturally underwent a complete change of blood, and now there are not many old people left in the palace, and Cang Bi really can't name the one in front of him.

"Master Gu, please come with the servant."

Cang Bi frowned when he heard this, because he found himself unable to get up.

Seeing that he didn't move, the eunuch seemed to be taken aback, but then he realized that the man had been kneeling in the snow for a whole day, so he took three steps at a time and hurried up to help him.

Cang Bi clasped his hand and put all her weight on him before straightening up.

"Let's go."

Mu Renhan's willingness to see him is enough to show that things have turned around. Although it may not be successful, he doesn't want to let go of a glimmer of hope.

He limped into the hall like this, the snow trail under his robe wet his way.

In the main hall, Mu Renhan was reviewing the memorial in a decent manner.

Cang Bi saw that he didn't even bother to lift his eyes, so he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Chen, Gu Congzhi sees His Majesty."

"It sounds very energetic." Mu Renhan threw the memorial to his hand, and was taken aback when he looked down.

There is no other reason, the appearance of the person below is really embarrassing.

Cang Bi didn't even have time to change his court clothes after he came down, so he knelt outside the main hall to see him. Now his hair is disheveled, and snow water is still flowing down his fair face.

"Come here." Mu Renhan frowned in disgust, "Take it down, so that I can serve you."

The left and right maids came out in response.

Cang Bi was still supported by the previous eunuch and retreated slowly.

Mu Renhan recalled the first time they met, and recalled the embarrassed look of that person just now, suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched.He continued to approve the memorial for a while, but still felt uneasy, so he got up and walked to the side hall where Cang Bi was.

Cang Bi didn't like to be served by maidservants when taking a bath, although the original body was very used to it, but his modern psychology caused troubles, and he still drove all those women out.

This bath was so comfortable, the warm water seemed to penetrate his skin and moisten his bones, making Cang Bi feel dizzy...

But at least he knew that this was not the place where he slept, so he soaked it and wiped it out of the bath.Unexpectedly, just as the clothes were tied, they heard shouts of long live outside the door.

Cang Bi frowned fiercely, and had no choice but to kneel on the ground in her underwear.

"Get up."

Cang Bi got up, but her body swayed unconsciously.He said seriously: "Your Majesty, my humble minister..."

"Don't do this."

Mu Renhan pinched the bridge of his nose and interrupted him abruptly, "Speak up if you have anything to say."

Cang Bi was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I know this request is very rude, but..."

"You also know that your request is very rude?" Mu Ren smiled coldly, his dark green eyes were full of sarcasm, "Would you do it for you?"

"..."

Cang Bi was momentarily at a loss for words, to be honest, if he was in Mu Renhan's position, he definitely would not agree to this request.

"Okay, let's go back." Mu Renhan stood up.

"What if I could get something in exchange?"

Mu Renhan's footsteps paused: "Oh? What do you give in exchange?"

"People's hearts."

Mu Renhan smiled coldly: "You exchanged that illusory thing with me for the life of a prince, a hidden danger that may explode at any time? Gu Congzhi, am I being too kind to you?"

Cang Bi's face remained unchanged: "Is it illusory? As long as I have enough time, I will prove it to you."

"I only want practical benefits. If you have enough bargaining chips to exchange for the prince, I can consider your request." After finishing speaking, Mu Renhan turned around and left.

But Cang Bi suddenly said: "Wen dies to remonstrate, Wu dies to fight, the literati of Great Chu have always been quite strong, and you don't want to repeat the same mistakes in today's hall one day."

Today, Pei Ji, a veteran of the Great Chu, tried to persuade him to die, but he actually bumped his head against the stone pillar.

Mu Renhan turned around and looked at Cang Bi steadfastly, shaking his head for a while, "These are far from enough for me to take such a big risk."

"This is the deposit!" Cang Bi added, "It's just like what is common among folks, and I will make it up slowly in the future. Besides, the seventeenth prince is less than two years old this year, isn't he? He doesn't know anything."

Mu Renhan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "Imperial doctor!"

The door of the side hall was pushed open, the old imperial doctor put down the medicine box, and began the cumbersome etiquette. When he finished, he looked up and saw Cang Bi standing side by side with the new emperor, with a surprised expression on his face instantly .

"Look at his legs."

Mu Renhan ordered in a deep voice.

The maids around picked up the chairs, and the old imperial doctor tremblingly opened the hem of Cang Bi's clothes.

Although Gu Congzhi's previous life was not luxurious, it was naturally excellent.People raised in this environment, not to mention ice-muscled, at least well-proportioned.

Just this knee...

The old imperial doctor frowned, trying to make up his mind.

"But it's not good?" Cang Bi asked lightly.

The old imperial doctor was startled at first, but he was relieved when he saw that Mu Renhan didn't show any displeasure, "You need to take good care of it, otherwise it will hurt unbearably when it's cloudy and rainy, I'm afraid it will be bad for you in the future." .”

pretty close……

Only then did Cang Bi feel relieved.

Mu Renhan signaled the imperial doctor to go down, then turned around and said, "Go back and take good care of it."

"I want to see my sister."

Mu Renhan was slightly taken aback, and then he saw the loneliness in Cang Bi's eyes, and then instantly remembered this family's ruined life experience...

He actually forgot that this person who was confronting him just now actually had a deep blood feud with him.

This feeling made him a lot annoyed in an instant, he said "Follow you" coolly, then turned and returned to the main hall.

Cang Bi looked at the darkening sky, but still walked quickly towards the "Zhende Palace" where the concubine was imprisoned.

"Zhende Palace" is located in a remote place, but it is not considered a cold palace. It is better to be locked up here than elsewhere.

Empress Gu was sitting beside the bed with the seventeenth prince in her arms, seeing Cang Bi coming, there was no trace of surprise on her face.

"Sister." Cang Bi thought it would be difficult for him to say these two words, but in fact, he blurted out this sentence as soon as he saw this gentle and beautiful woman.

"Are you here?" Queen Gu smiled at him, but her expression was not warm.

This was very different from the woman in my memory who loved him so much.

For a moment, Cang Bi couldn't tell whether the loss that was so real was his own or Gu Congzhi's.

"Is my sister blaming me?"

After all, Cang Bi’s heart is uneasy. He was the one who surrendered to the enemy when the country was subjugated, and he was the one who was doing his best for Mu Renhan. He was the one who started all of this, but now, he is Gu Congzhi.

He didn't know if he could get the understanding of his relatives.

Empress Gu was silent for a long time, then suddenly put the Seventeenth Prince aside, and bowed down.

Cang Bi was startled, and quickly reached out to help, but the woman still firmly knelt on the ground.

"No matter who you are, save my child!"

Cang Bi was terrified, he accepted two missions, even if there were doubts, no one was so sure that he was not the original body, but this time...

Seeing that he was silent, Empress Gu said firmly, "I know my younger brother. He would rather commit suicide than surrender. I don't know how you got here. Since you took his body... Then I beg you, please save my child!"

"I will, I will." It was the first time Cang Bi felt that he was in such a hurry.

Empress Gu looked at Cang Bi, and finally handed over the child to him as if she was relieved.She looked at the baby obsessively, and murmured: "From today on, he will be your uncle."

Hearing her tone, Cang Bi suddenly realized something, and a great sadness welled up in his heart.

So Cang Biqiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him, and I will let him grow up well."

"thanks, thanks."

The gentle woman finally burst into tears.

Cang Bi blinked her eyes hard, and walked quickly back to the main hall with the child in her arms. Mu Renhan was a little surprised that he went back and forth.

"I'm taking him away."

Mu Renhan's face darkened instantly, "Do you really think..."

"I want to take him away!"

"……What’s wrong with you?"

Mu Renhan suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this person's voice.

This is... crying?

He looked at the other's bowed head in surprise.

Cang Bi felt that his heart was in a mess, and memories that did not belong to him kept rolling in his mind, and all the flashes were the beautiful pictures of that year.

But now... now...

"My sister is gone."

Queen Gu is gone.

"This is the only family I have."

I know this is your only relative.

"I'm taking him away."

Yes, I will take him away.

So, Gu Congzhi, don't be sad, okay?I feel bad, feel bad.

Cang Bi pressed her heart.

Mu Renhan looked at the young man in front of him who had finally lost his disguise, and felt that he was so soft that he would shatter if touched.He endured it, and finally put his hand on Cang Bi's shoulder, and patted it lightly...

Don't be sad, you don't look like the man who seems to be so fearless, don't cry, because you cry... I don't feel comfortable...

The author has something to say: the stupid author is dead~~ I will cry more soon~~
