King's Landing [Rebirth]

All things were agreed, the court situation was stable, the ministers' concerns for so long finally fell into their stomachs, and when they were about to follow Wang Shu out of the hall, they heard Sima Rong say, "Prime Minister stay here."

A smile suddenly appeared in Wang Shuzhi's eyes, but it didn't show at all on his face, and he bowed solemnly.

The ministers glanced at Wang Shuzhi at the same time, then receded like a tide, went out, raised their heads and squinted their eyes to look at the sky. Look, twos and threes gather in one place and whisper.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been lingering in bed for more than ten years, and has never even shown his face. It was never expected before, but he succeeded in the end. The world is unpredictable!"

"That's right, now that the dust has finally settled, we old bones don't have to worry about it all day long."

"Speaking of which, the Prime Minister did not have much contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past, but this time he is quite supportive of him, not only helping him put down King Yi's rebellion, but also following his wishes in the court, where there is no such thing as monopolizing power , it’s really unbelievable.”

"Well... Do you think it will... This prince is also..."

"Hush! Silence!"

The palace did not dare to speak nonsense, but once they left the palace, the ministers let go of their courage, and the people who had been in contact with each other had less scruples in speaking, and continued the previous unsaid words.

"Wang Yi found a dead man to pretend to be the prince. The birthmark on that body has been confirmed. Today, two princes appeared inexplicably, and they also have birthmarks..."

"The old man also finds it strange that this birthmark may be forged, so that the real one can be confused with the real one."

"The one in the court today, the prime minister is very protective. Could he be a puppet that the prime minister found? The same appearance, the same birthmark, how could it be so coincidental that there will be three of them? Since what Wang Yi found can be fake , the one supported by the prime minister can naturally be fake."

"However, he has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo... and judging by his demeanor, he doesn't seem to be manipulated by others..."

"Hey! That's true, otherwise the old man would not admit his identity. It's just that there is a fake prince outside, this... this is really..."

The ministers shook their heads and sighed, secretly talking about the same thing, and Sima Rong in the palace was also saying the same thing.

"Although there is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo as evidence, in their eyes, it may be hard to let go of the real and fake princes for a while, and it may not be so easy to completely believe in my identity."

"So what?" Wang Shuzhi smiled and looked at the well-ordered palace after the purge, walked side by side towards the East Palace, and said in a low voice, "They admitted today, and they won't say anything more in the future. Long, it will naturally dispel doubts. What's more, you have Mr. Xie, and I..."

Sima Rong listened to him close to a whisper at the end, his deep voice was a bit ambiguous, he couldn't help but glance at him sideways, as soon as he touched his smiling eyes, the roots of his ears burned immediately, he quickly pretended to be nonchalant Look away.

Wang Shuzhi smiled even more.

The few servants who fell far behind occasionally raised their eyes and saw the two people in front of them standing shoulder to shoulder, whether the ruler or the minister, Qi Qi was stunned, and suddenly met the sharp gaze of Eunuch Tong, and hurriedly lowered his head I didn't dare to glance around anymore, so I could only prick up my ears, but the voice of the person in front was so low that I didn't hear anything.

The East Palace has been tidied up, Sima Rong stood outside the door and did not take a step forward. Although he has not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has already been branded as the king of a country. Naturally, it is not good to continue to live outside the palace. I have to live in this cold deep palace, and I feel an unspeakable depression in my heart.

Wang Shuzhi also stood quietly at the door, with deep eyes and tight lips. When he realized that Sima Rong hadn't moved for a while, he quickly took a deep breath, calmed his expression, and smiled at him: "Go in."

The hall is full of luxury, after dismissing all the maids, the surroundings are so quiet that fallen leaves can be heard, the further you go in, the darker the light becomes, and there is a sense of coldness and lifelessness everywhere.

Sima Rong stopped and turned to look at Wang Shuzhi.

Wang Shuzhi leaned close to him, smiled, and kissed him on the lips.

Just as his lips were about to part, Sima Rong immediately leaned over to block him, at the same time raised his arm around his waist to tighten it, and wrapped his other arm behind his head, not letting him leave.

Wang Shuzhi's breathing tightened suddenly, and he hugged him, feeling the trembling and heat on the tip of his tongue, quickly kissed him deeply, licking and sucking, becoming more and more inseparable.

In the silence, only the lingering breath and low panting of the two, Wang Shuzhi's arms became tighter and tighter, wishing to rub the person into his chest, he murmured "Yan Qing" from time to time, pecked several times and then clinged greedily .

Sima Rong gave him a deep kiss and moaned aloud, his face was burning like fire, he pushed him away quickly, closed his eyes and pressed against his forehead, panting.

Wang Shuzhi raised his hand to caress his face, pinched his chin, tilted his head slightly, gnawed at his hot earlobe, laughed softly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't you like living in the palace?"

Sima Rong was silent for a moment, nodded and sighed softly: "I really don't like it."

Wang Shuzhi rubbed against his face: "Then follow me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Sima Rong listened to the word "Hui" from his mouth, felt warm in his heart, kissed him on the lips, and looked at him helplessly.

Seeing his dark eyes moist and provocative, Wang Shuzhi couldn't help swallowing: "Then you invite me to come over to sleep every night?"

Sima Rong gritted his teeth and laughed, all the gloom that had arisen when he first came in dissipated, and pinched his chin imitatively: "When I pass the filial piety period, I will naturally...cough...fortunate to you."

Wang Shuzhi's smile deepened, his radiant eyes were full of affection, he didn't speak, just looked at him deeply.

Sima Rong made him look embarrassed, and glanced away uncomfortably.

Wang Shuzhi hugged him again, knowing that he didn't like this palace, he couldn't help but feel distressed, but it was the best ending so far, so he couldn't help but said softly: "I will be there in the future."

Sima Rong nodded, looked around, it seemed that the palace was no longer as cold as before.

"Your Highness." Eunuch Tong's voice suddenly came from outside, "The Empress Dowager asked Your Highness to come over and ask for something important."

Sima Rong hurriedly let go of Wang Shuzhi, straightened his clothes, cleared his throat and responded.

Eunuch Tong didn't know the real relationship between the two at this time, he only thought that they had something to talk about inside, so he didn't dare to go in rashly, he just waited outside the hall, and when they came out, he hurriedly followed.

Sima Rong squeezed Wang Shuzhi's hand when no one was looking, and watched him leave before turning around and walking towards the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager experienced several changes and was placed under house arrest by King Yi for a long time. Although she regained her spirits, her face was still a little pale, but when she saw Sima Rong, she immediately smiled and looked radiant.

Sima Rong stepped forward to salute, greeted again, and said in a warm voice: "There will be no more twists and turns in the future. Empress Dowager, don't worry, it's important to take good care of your body."

Sima Rong was about to ascend the throne, the queen mother was naturally satisfied, she nodded repeatedly, patted his hand and sighed in relief, after a while, she smiled, looked at him and said, "Rong'er, I heard that there is a person outside the palace." Looks exactly like you?"

Sima Rong nodded: "That's right, not only the appearance is the same, even the birthmark on the back of the waist is exactly the same."

The Queen Mother trembled: "Really? Who is he?"

Sima Rong didn't miss her subtle changes, raised his eyes to look at her carefully, and said slowly: "His name is Yuan Sheng, his family was ruined when he was young, and later he came to the residence of Taishou Lu in Wu County as a servant, and has followed the second son of the Lu family until now."

Her back was tense, she bit her lip, and asked again: "It seems that you know him a little bit? What about him before he entered the Lu Mansion? Where is his hometown? Who are his parents?"

Sima Rong already had doubts in his heart, but now that the queen mother is so cautious, he couldn't help but look at her expression seriously again, remembering that Wang Shuzhi said that he had investigated Yuan Sheng, and recalled: "I don't know who the parents are, but it is said that he was in the land. His family name was Zhao, and his baby name was Xiaolang."

The queen mother hurriedly let go of his hand, stroked his chest and took a few breaths: "The surname is Zhao? Is the surname really Zhao?"

Sima Rong looked at her and nodded, "The surname is indeed Zhao."

The Empress Dowager opened her mouth, her eyes turned red immediately, she seemed to be overwhelmed with surprise, she grabbed his hand and said expectantly: "I will announce him into the palace tomorrow! I want to have a good look at it!"

Sima Rong had already had a lot of guesses in his mind, but the matter was prioritized and he hadn't thought about it so far, so he wasn't too surprised by the empress dowager's excitement, so he whispered: "The empress dowager means..."

The queen mother patted his hand, a little choked with sobs: "He may be... the brother of your compatriots!"
