Rebirth: Dominating the Country

Zi and the medicinal wine just asked for, wiped his hands clean.

After the dagger was back in its sheath, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the groom: "You will take that road later, to the Penglai Hall. I have been out of the palace for so long, and it is time for me to visit the imperial concubine."

☆, 21

It is actually very far from the Lizheng Hall to the Penglai Hall. Unlike the grandeur of the Lizheng Hall, the Penglai Hall where Concubine Min lives is unexpectedly elegant and simple.

Concubine Min's beauty is that kind of bright beauty, flamboyant and eye-catching.The clothes she likes are mostly bright colors, and the place where she lives should be extraordinarily gorgeous, but bamboo and orchids are the most abundant in Penglai Hall.

There is still a faint fragrance of ink in the Penglai Palace all the year round, because Zhang Jin’s dowry in those days contained a piece of thousand-year-old ink. Of course, it is not as legendary as it is in water, and it will never fade, but it is also extremely precious, and the fragrance of ink will last for a long time. .

According to the imperial doctor, smelling more of this fragrance is also good for the body. Just because of the millennium ink, Emperor Qiwen came to Penglai Hall more.

The Zhang family was originally a scholarly family. Although they were both officials and businessmen, their emphasis on reading has never been weakened. Concubine Min's wide knowledge is inseparable from this.

When Mu Bai entered, the other party was bending over to cut a rose plant, with slender jade fingers, which looked very beautiful against the bright red flowers.

Mu Bai called out "Concubine Min", the latter's hand trembled, the thorns on the flower stuck into his finger, and bright red blood leaked out, the maid at the side said "ah", and quickly found a clean handkerchief Carefully pulled out the thorn, and then applied the non-scarring ointment prepared in the palace, for fear that the perfect hand would leave even a little bit of scar.

Apparently Zhang Jin didn't expect Mu Bai to come here, so he only left a few absolutely trustworthy maids to block his tongue, put the scissors aside and asked Mu Bai why he came here: "Why don't you come here to do your filial piety in front of the queen? People in the palace are panicking recently, I don't want to make any troubles at this juncture."

"This king has already been to the Lizheng Palace just now, and he came to the Penglai Palace just because he didn't want to make any trouble. If I remember correctly, the Phoenix Seal was in the hands of the noble concubine five days ago."

"So what, is it possible that King An wants to help the Queen's sister to get her things back? Although my palace is not as capable as my sister, it is more than enough to handle this." Concubine Min Gui is always extra sensitive when dealing with the things she has finally obtained. , even though she knew that the other party didn't have such thoughts, her tone couldn't help being a little sharp.

"This king is not here today to return to Fengyin. This king doesn't have the power and doesn't want to interfere with the affairs of this palace." Mu Bai paused, and changed his name, "I'm just here to give you advice. Wake up, don't just focus on the phoenix seal in your hand and forget your mother's roots."

Zhang Jin's roots naturally refer to the Zhang family, and her complexion sank again. After thinking about it, some people who often contacted her natal family asked, "What happened to the uncle of the country recently, don't hesitate. Keep it hidden, I won't be able to keep him when something big happens!"

The court lady glanced at Mubai, then at her again, then knelt down on the ground with a plop, and explained everything: "This time it wasn't the uncle who did it, but the clansman he brought here, who belittled Miss Pang's family, A few days ago, Miss Pang hanged herself at home, Uncle Guo said that Miss Pang's family is too fragile, and the empress is so busy, so please don't tell the maidservant to tell the empress, he will solve the matter."

"What a bunch of idiots, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!" In front of Mu Bai, Zhang Jin kicked the palace lady away. She didn't use too much force, but the palace lady rolled along the momentum, His head hit the pillar directly, causing his head to bleed.

Although Feng Yin was in her hands, the power in the palace loyal to the queen was far beyond her imagination. It was not as easy for her to take over as she thought before.The things in the palace were already enough to worry her, but her family added to the chaos.It just gave her a splitting headache.

"Xia He"

"The slave is here"

"Find two people to drag her down for me."

"Chunhua, bring me my pen and ink, I want to write a letter home to my father."

Concubine Min walked into the palace, but she didn't forget to turn around and give Mu Bai an explanation: "King An, don't worry, I will guarantee that there will be no troubles in the Zhang family. Your Majesty, I will take care of you. As for the crown prince and queen, You still have to rely on yourself, don't mess yourself up, I don't have superpowers, and I don't have that much time and energy."

Mu Bai stood there for a while, then turned and got into the carriage waiting at the corner, "Go back, go to the Lizheng Hall tomorrow."

The doctor invited by the prince couldn't see the reason why Li Hou was seriously ill, but only took a few medicines, which managed to maintain the other party's condition.

The physical illness stabilized, but Li Hou's mental head deteriorated day by day.The imperial physician's diagnosis has only one result, and he is too worried.

Emperor Qiwen would spend at least two hours to accompany his wife every day when he came down from the court, but he still saw that she was getting thinner and thinner, to the point where he was barely a bone.

Mu Bai would go to the palace every day, and he didn't deliberately stagger with the prince, and he could meet the latter once every three days.Because of Empress Li's illness, the other party didn't put much thought on him, would greet him when they met, and maintained a hypocritical friendship in front of Empress Li. The estrangement between the two brothers seemed to be frozen under such circumstances, as if These two are just brothers with a slightly indifferent relationship, neither hostile nor calculating.

It was just an appearance, Mu Bai looked at the news presented, rubbed his forehead and continued to calculate.Empress Li won't live too long. Most people are aware of this fact. Whether they want to admit it or not, the power in the crown prince's hands has already begun to operate.

With Empress Li here, this palace is the crown prince's world, and the Li family in the court are also very confident.Emperor Qiwen is also old, and his status and power doomed that no matter how much he loves his son, he will be separated from him because of the succession of the throne.

He had begun to grow old, and his young son might take away the power in his hands at any time, and he didn't want to see the crown prince's wings too full.And without the warmth of the empress, he might be more cruel to the emperor of the Li family than usual.

Everyone is afraid of being abandoned by the prince as an abandoned son. Compared with the Zhang family that may rise, the movement of the Li family is much greater.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, the relationship network that Mu Bai used to operate began to play a role at this time.On the day when Empress Li fainted, Emperor Qiwen dismissed more than a dozen court officials at once because of the Luhe disaster relief bank corruption incident, some fresh faces were promoted, new vitality was injected into the officials, and people from different forces flocked came in.

The originally complicated court relationship has been reshuffled again, this time the Zhang family has completely overwhelmed the Li family, and among the newly promoted officials, five have a good personal relationship with Mu Bai, and the remaining few are The neutral party, and three are absolute royalists.

As Empress Li's condition worsened, the atmosphere in the imperial city became more and more depressing.

"Mommy knows that the prince values ​​filial piety, but if you think too much, the prince's health will also collapse." When she was in Prince An's Mansion, Mother Su always dissuaded and comforted Mu Bai with the attitude of an elder.As long as she doesn't go too far, Mu Bai naturally respects and relies on her very much.

Mu Bai didn't speak, just fiddled with the beads on the plate, "It's still far away." He said in his heart.

Empress Li's body can last for two or three months, but his father will have a heart attack three years later, and the dragon body will be buried with Empress Li in the imperial mausoleum.

Although there was no major accident, Mu Bai accidentally cut his hand when he experienced Empress Li's death again, and the sharp blade cut a long gash from the tiger's mouth, and the maid at the side yelled, "My lord." careful!"

Su Nanny had already snatched the dagger from his hand quickly, and thanks to Mu Bai's sensitivity to her breath after all, otherwise he might have stabbed Su Nanny in a trance.

"If the lord is really worried, hurry over there. There are horses outside. If you rush over now, maybe you can catch up with the empress for the last time."

Mu Bai hesitated for a while, then rushed out the door, while Su Momo looked at her master's back and shook her head: "Little master's heart is still not cruel enough."

Thinking of something, the expression on her face turned cold, and she sighed softly: "It's also thanks to the embarrassment that she died like this. If she is still alive, this obstacle will be great."

Mu Bai still failed to meet Empress Li in the end, when he arrived, Empress Li had just died, and the Lizheng Hall was filled with crying.The prince half-kneeled beside the bed, Emperor Qiwen held Empress Li's hand, and Concubine Min rushed over after a while.

"Whatever the noise, get out!" The red-eyed Emperor Qiwen slapped the surrounding tables, and the vases, crystal jars and other things on it fell to the ground and shattered.

The surrounding palace people were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound. The maids covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and walked out with careful and quick steps backwards. Government Palace.

Concubine Min Gui wanted to howl once or twice, but after being stared at by Emperor Qiwen who was full of grief, her crying was blocked in her throat. She did not dare to confront the latter at such a time, and walked out slowly.

Mu Bai almost went out with Concubine Min, only Crown Prince Mu Yan was left behind by Emperor Qi Wen: "Your mother's favorite is you, stay here with her more, and be with me."

☆, 22

Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and crying is useless for the dead.Although Emperor Qiwen was in grief, he still had Jiangshan to take care of him.

After Empress Li passed away, his temper was much more sinister than before.

Because of Empress Li, Emperor Qiwen was always very humane towards the members of the Zhang clan. When Empress Li was gone, these people became the crown prince's overly thick wings, which had to be pruned to look pleasing to the eye.

Originally, there were not many long-lived emperors in the Northern Kingdom. After all, Emperor Qiwen was getting older, and his thirst for power was deeper than before. In the past, some small conflicts were swept away by the pressure of his wife and the wind blowing on his pillow. up.

Now that Empress Li is gone, the sharp conflict between father and son has emerged.People who sit in high positions tend to love the country more than beauties, and in the palace, there are definitely not a few people who fight in the same room.

Facing the young and promising heir, Emperor Qiwen inevitably felt a little uncomfortable. The stronger the opponent, the greater the threat to him.

Who doesn't want to sit on the throne for more time? In the history of the Northern Kingdom, there are not no princes who poisoned their fathers in order to get the throne earlier.

Those in positions of power are already more suspicious than ordinary people, and when they are old, they tend to think wildly, and Concubine Min guides them intentionally or unintentionally, so Emperor Qiwen is naturally more and more afraid of the crown prince.

This can be seen from the recent suppression of Prime Minister Zhang's beloved disciple in the court.This time period is the best time for Mu Bai to accumulate strength.

In his last life, he never thought about arguing with Mu Yan in the past, he just wanted to live in a righteous way and save his own life, so naturally he didn't do anything.

And Concubine Min, in that situation, would not be so stupid as to be hostile to the prince, but acted as a palliative between the emperor and the prince for a period of time, instead of saying a few words from time to time when Emperor Qiwen was around. The prestige of the people is so high, which courtier invited the prince and other important officials to a private banquet.

"The prince has been good at communication since he was a child. He is not like that child of King An. Except for occasionally visiting his concubines and talking about calligraphy and painting with those literati and inkmen, he hardly sees how he interacts with these ministers. All the courtiers and concubines feel aggrieved by him."

Appreciating the beauty picture that Mu Bai sent for herself a few days ago, Concubine Min complained inadvertently.

Emperor Qiwen turned blue when he heard the previous words, but after hearing Concubine Min's complaint, he remembered that he had a young son: "He is a prince after all, who would bump into him with such short eyes. "

In the past, if Mu Bai made any troubles, there would be people arranged by Empress Li to settle the matter. Such insignificant matters would never reach their ears.As long as the matter is resolved, they don't care about the grievances Mu Bai suffered halfway.

Manly man, this kind of thing doesn't need to be comforted. When Empress Li thinks this way, she often forgets Mu Bai's age, and if it were Mu Yan, she would never have such an attitude, but Mu Yan's status is right there. No one dared to bully him.

In Emperor Qiwen's heart, there was only one queen, Concubine Min Gui saw this very clearly, she never thought of competing for this position in the hearts of the people in front of her, after so many years, she preferred power over love.

Even if she changed the way to give her allies a sense of presence in front of Emperor Qiwen, she would never speak ill of the dead Empress Li in front of Emperor Qiwen.She can't compete with a living person, let alone a dead and perfected woman.

Concubine Min put down the painting in her hand, and her tone showed some sympathy for Prince An: "A few days ago, Prince Jin and Concubine Jin visited the Crown Princess in the East Palace, and the concubine happened to meet her, so I asked her to have a chat."

She washed her hands, peeled off a lychee that was delivered earlier and put it into Emperor Qiwen's mouth, and then said: "I just heard her say that the young master of the Zheng family robbed people last time. Isn't there some selfishness around King An?" The sour Confucian who prides himself on justice dragged him over, saying that he wanted to seek justice for King An, but the servant next to King An said that his master was King An. Guess what stupid things that young master of the Zheng family said ?”

"What?" The man in the dragon robe bit off the crystal clear lychee meat with her fingers, and his mouth immediately filled with a sweet taste.

"He said, he never knew that there is still a second prince in this world, and the son of the Holy Majesty is only the prince. Naturally, the world will also belong to the prince in the future. I am afraid that Wang An is a fake who came out of nowhere... ..."

"You bastard!" Concubine Min Guifei hadn't finished her sentence when the plate of lychees in front of her fell to pieces as the table was broken into two pieces, and all the neatly arranged lychees rolled out of the plate , scattered in four directions.

"What's the matter, you're so angry." Concubine Min was frightened, and patted her chest, her voice a little coquettish.Emperor Qiwen didn't even look at her, and strode away from the Penglai Hall with a livid face.

The maid at the side hurried over and said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"It's okay, it's not me who is so angry with him." The beautiful woman bent down and stroked the poor table, her face was very gentle, she lowered her tone and ordered: "Clean up this thing, and by the way, give Wang An to Ben Lock up the paintings in the palace, and don't let His Majesty and the Prince see them next time."

"Yes, ma'am."

The next day, Zheng Heng, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was demoted three grades in a row by Emperor Qiwen because of his inability to teach his son.

Zheng Heng is a capable officer under the Crown Prince, and the new Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, although he is not very friendly, and his personal relationship with King An is not very serious, but in comparison, he is obviously more on the side of King An.

It is said that Zheng Heng's demotion was because his beloved son had a match with King An, and Yu Hang was obviously half of King An.

The emergence of this unpopular prince at such a juncture inevitably made these officials think less.As for those who stand in the Zhang family's faction, even though they are clearly a neutral party and a royalist faction, they must still lean towards An Wang's faction in private.

No one can figure out what Emperor Qiwen is thinking. They all say that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and they can only do their part. Get too close to the prince, so as not to be labeled as a gangster and a gangster.

Not to mention how mournful Emperor Qiwen was in the mourning hall, how Mu Yan and Mu Bai wore hemp and filial piety, and shed two lines of precious male tears towards the coffin.They didn't pay attention to those palace people who had lost their masters and changed their masters again. They still guarded the cold Lizheng Palace honestly and wiped off the dust on the queen's old things day after day.

Now Empress Li's coffin has been in the imperial mausoleum for several days. On the first seven days, the palace prepared some food that Empress Li loved during his lifetime according to the customs of the Northern Kingdom, and invited eminent monks to recite the mantra of rebirth and great mercy for Empress Li. The Great Compassion Mantra and other mantras whose names are unclear to others.

In order to allow the deceased to reincarnate with peace of mind, those who were extremely close to the deceased should hide in the Patriarch. The best way is to sleep, even if they do not sleep, they should go to the bed and hide under the covers.

This is the method of ordinary people, and they don't all follow it one by one. If a queen in the palace dies, they will not see their husband or children will stay in the house all day on this day.

All the brightly colored things in the Prince's East Palace were replaced with plain white, and the red lanterns at the gate of Prince An's Mansion were also replaced with white ones.

Although he felt that Empress Li would not come to his house, Mu Bai still ordered Madam Su to prepare some things that Empress Li liked and put them in the lobby.

"Nurse, you can put a share of everything that the queen mother likes, have you turned down all the invitations arranged before?"

"All the famous posts have been returned, and I also sent out the letter slaves attached to them." After Cong Li's death, Mother Su changed her name in front of Mu Bai. Mu Bai mentioned a few words, but she couldn't help it. The other party also let her go.

Looking at the things in the lobby, Madam Su said hesitantly, "Is the lord really not going anywhere today? It's also good to go out to get some fresh air, or let Ji Xiang grind ink for you to paint?"

"No need, today is the mother's first seven, and I don't want to do anything." After guarding the spirit for a few days, Mu Bai hasn't slept well, and his voice is full of tiredness, "Leave everything to the mother." Mama arranges, the king will go to rest first."

After sleeping for almost two hours, Mu Bai was woken up by the noisy voices. Someone from the East Palace of the Crown Prince, who had never been in touch with him, came, saying that the Crown Prince wanted to talk to the only younger brother, and he used the name of Empress Li, saying There are still some things that the dead queen has not had time to explain to King An.

"Tell the prince to wait until the prince has finished his meal before going." Su Momo said, her face darkened, her eyes widened, and the servant who came to deliver the message could only obediently wait there.

Waiting for Mu Bai to eat some food, Madam Su stuffed another flare into Mu Bai's hand, and of course she didn't forget to tell the prince to bring some hidden weapons left by the master.

"Mama is worrying too much, I just went to talk about things, my father is still here." A few words calmed the extremely anxious Mama Su.

Mu Bai insisted on taking his own carriage to the Prince's Mansion: "Although the servants in the Prince's Mansion are not very useful, they still know the way. Your carriage will follow behind."

Sitting in the carriage, Mu Bai twirled the lancet he used to use, while thinking about what the crown prince asked him to do at this time, he didn't have this kind of treatment in his last life, and when he encountered such an accident beyond his memory, he felt The head was a little uneasy.

Mu Yan was waiting for him on the bed in his own bedroom. The other party was covered with a thin blanket, and under the thin cape was a white obscene garment.

There was a miscellaneous journal spread out on the hands that turned from cloud to rain, and the black hair was uncombed, without a golden crown to bind the hair, and there was not even a hosta, just scattered on his shoulders.His complexion was a little pale, and he looked harmless.

If he hadn't been well versed in Mu Yan's ability, he would almost have thought that he was just a weak and sick young man.

Since the other party is so "frank and honest", he doesn't say some polite words.Moved a chair, went to the other side's bed, and said coldly: "I'm already here, what do you want to say."

"Aren't you curious why the father and the queen mother are so targeting you? Don't you want to know that even though you haven't done anything, I still hate you so much?" The other party turned sideways and slightly looked up at Mu Bai's face, satisfied I saw him froze, and his face froze.

"Why?" Mu Bai's fingers tightly grasped the edge of the chair, and his voice was extremely suppressed.

The other party stared at him with dark eyes, eyes full of charm, and changed into a self-proclaimed word that he had never used to Mu Bai, "Today, I will tell you all this. A secret that only I, the father and the queen, know." .”

☆, 23

"Your life has existed for me from the very beginning." If he hadn't watched Mu Yan's lips open and close, Mu Bai almost thought that this sentence was just his own illusion.

Seeing his unbelievable appearance, the prince sitting on the bed repeated it to him word by word.

"I knew you were a waste since you were born." Mu Yan continued.

Mu Bai stood up abruptly, and the chair was brought over to the ground.

Because of the extremely contemptuous and insulting words in the other party's eyes, or maybe there was no one else in the room except them, the man in an unstable mood just put one hand on the bed, his upper body was less than half a meter away from Mu Yan, as if If Mu Yan couldn't give a good explanation, he could strangle people to death on the spot in the next second.

Mu Yan wasn't frightened too much, he was completely indifferent to Mu Bai's anger, his eyes looked a little more hollow than usual, and his face was paler than usual, like someone who just had a serious illness.

Without waiting for Mu Bai to say something, he started talking on his own: "Let me tell you a story."

Twenty-four years ago, there was an extremely well-matched young couple who got married under the help of their elders. The child was made the heir. "

This is naturally about Mu Yan and Empress Li being husband and wife, Mu Bai propped up on top of him, paying attention to each other's expressions, listening to him patiently.

"That child was as outstanding as they hoped, until he fell to the ground when he was practicing martial arts with his master when he was five years old."

Mu Yan has always been indifferent, so Mu Bai never knew that his elder brother's voice is also excellent for telling stories. He wanted to ask why, but for some reason, looking at the other person's expression, he still didn't blurt out. speak out.

"The fainting wasn't because the master's requirements were too strict. The child lay on the bed and fell seriously ill. He was in a coma for several days and nights and didn't wake up." At this point, Mu Yan asked, helped the chair back up and sat back. Mu Bai, "Guess what happened to that child?"

The other party assumed the attitude that if you don’t respond, you won’t continue talking. In order to hear the truth, Mu Bai followed the latter’s wish and asked, “What happened?”

"Those useless doctors couldn't see what was wrong with the child, and they were almost slaughtered by the loving couple. At this moment, a wandering Taoist came and saved the child. The couple even He was grateful, but the Taoist said that even if he saved the child, his life would not be long, because he had a very rare disease. He told the couple that there was no cure, but apart from those precious medicinal materials In addition, a very special medicine is needed."

When mentioning Yao Yin, Mu Yan's eyes flickered with a strange color, and that handsome face looked slightly distorted, which made Mu Bai's heart hang, and his heart was half cold.

Someone knocked on the door outside, and it was a female voice: "His Royal Highness, the servant is ordered by Madam Yu to bring you a heater and a thicker quilt."

Looking at Mu Yan who was sitting on the bed without saying a word, Mu Bai got up and opened the door. A handsome maid came in. She gave him a timid look, and quickly put the stove and quilt away. , went to the window and closed the open window halfway.

Not daring to look up at Mu Yan, she did everything quickly, and the maid closed the door softly.

It was at this time that Mu Bai suddenly felt that something was wrong: this day was not considered cold, and some people who were afraid of the heat didn't even cover themselves with blankets when they went to bed at night.It was the hottest hour of the day, and the house was burning with incense, and he felt he would have been smothered if the windows hadn't been open.

On the bed, Mu Yan was covered with a thin blanket and had a heater beside him, and now he also had an autumn quilt on his body. Mu Bai felt hot even looking at him, but the other party's handsome face was still white. There was not much blood, and there was not a single drop of sweat on the forehead. Just the pink and chapped lips and gloomy face were enough to make people mistakenly think that this was a patient who had been ill for many years.

But in the eyes of Mu Bai and others, Mu Yan has always been very healthy. Although he doesn't like martial arts, he is definitely not the kind of sick and weak young man who will collapse at the wind.I haven't heard of any serious illness for the crown prince. It's probably because of the hard work and grief for Empress Li's death in the past few days, which made him look like this.

After all, the love between mother and child is deep, compared to his son who has no deep affection for Empress Li, no matter how cold-blooded Mu Yan is, the degree of sadness is definitely much deeper than him.Mu Bai thought of the story that made him feel cold again: "What is the special medicine?"

"The heart and soul of the child's close one." Mu Yan laughed softly, his shoulders trembled, his black hair slid down in disorder, that face that was so good-looking that it didn't look like a mortal now doesn't look like a fairy , It's like a demon.

Mu Bai's intuition told him that he couldn't listen anymore, but the resentment of being ignored for many years still made him stay, listening to Mu Yan finish that ridiculous story.

"The child's parents are naturally grateful, saying that the medicinal materials are not a problem. They are willing to make such a sacrifice for the sake of the child. Ten fingers connected to the heart, the expert took blood from the parents' fingers, shook his head and said it was not appropriate, the clansman and No one close enough to this child can do it, the couple loves their child so much, they decided to follow the expert's instructions to have a second child, and let the second child's heart and soul to save the sick child's life."

Mu Bai felt that his voice was about to start to smoke: "Then what happened later, has the sick child been cured?"

"Of course not!" Mu Yan's dark pupils were stained a little red, "The wife's health is not good enough, and she almost died when the second child was born. But none of them thought that she The thing that was finally born was a waste! The expert said that the child's painstaking effort was just as inappropriate as theirs, it was useless at all, and the mother couldn't give birth to a third child because of her body injury. A child! Their most beloved child still has to die, you said if you were a poor sick child, would he hate this trash?"

Mu Yan licked his chapped lips, stared at Mu Bai, whose face became as pale as his, and said with a little malice, every word sounded like a curse: "Don't you wonder why the national teacher is only in my office?" You only come to this palace when you are sick? Why is there no rush to fill my mansion with women after there have been no children in the East Palace for so long?"

Because of the excessive emotional ups and downs, Mu Yan's pale face also turned red: "If it wasn't because you are so useless, I wouldn't be tortured every now and then!"

Mu Bai's hands and feet were already cold. Anyone who heard such a so-called truth would find it difficult to accept it for a while. He sat on the chair weakly and asked in a low voice: "In this case, why didn't you choose to be born on the first day?" If you strangled the child to death, why let him live?"

Mu Yan quickly changed from a sick child who lost his composure to that elegant young man. Instead of answering Mu Bai's question directly, he said something that had nothing to do with the topic just now: "Your childhood I sent someone to poison the palace lady and throw it into the well, you must not know, she wanted to drug you that night, but unfortunately she was poisoned to death by her own medicine before she could."

Mu Bai looked up at him in astonishment.The other party clenched his fists and coughed, then continued to talk about the old things: "Didn't you always feel sad that Su Zhiran didn't want to see you before he left? In fact, he sent someone to look for you at that time, and the one who notified you The people who are tied up in your Jingren Temple are you who are stupid, no one else is to blame."

Mu Bai no longer knew what else he could say, just like he didn't know why the other party told him the truth on a whim.

Obviously, this scene had never happened in the previous life. Even if he had a new life, he always thought that the other party would rot in his stomach forever, or he spent all his time trying to find the truth, instead of letting this person tell him face to face like now. .

He felt a little tired, but there was finally a reason to explain Mu Yan's jealousy towards him.People who are in pain have eccentric tempers, let alone this kind of high-ranking person who has been tortured for many years and has long worn out his warmth.

But if he couldn't cure Mu Yan's illness, could it be a mistake?

"I just want to tell you one thing," the prince sitting on the bed quickly calmed down, looking at his poor brother, he said word by word, "In this life, you don't want to have what I don't have. "

This time Mu Bai threw himself directly at the opponent, the lancet in his hand drew a bloodstain on his neck, Mu Yan didn't have the strength to break away from him, and there were no shadow guards in the room to stop him. As long as Mu Bai exerted more strength, the knife could directly cut the latter's throat and relieve his hatred.

Mu Yan just looked at him with no fear except madness in his eyes, until Mu Bai silently put away the knife.He just sat up and coughed a few times.

When Mu Bai staggered out of the Prince's Mansion, He Yaomian pushed the blue brick on top of his head and popped out from the ground.

"Do you want me to send someone up to follow the grassroots?" He had heard most of the previous conversation, and his life is probably shorter this time.

The latter closed the open book, took the pills given by the other party, and said, "No, go out and find me a robe with a high collar, and by the way, deal with everyone who met King An today." , I don’t want to hear any gossip that shouldn’t be spread.”

The author has something to say: Brother Prince’s illness has many strange sequelae. Please ignore the rationality of this strange illness, but as long as he is not too sick, he is still very healthy. He is not the kind of sick and weak son. Not good will be short-lived.Does not affect some kind of intense exercise cough cough

For the psychology of couples, please refer to those who don’t care about their beloved children after getting test-tube babies, and then the beloved children and

"My Yan'er is the best child in the world. As long as the queen mother is still alive, the world will be yours." From birth, Mu Yan's ears always echoed these words.

He consciously started, what he heard and felt the most was not the love of his parents, but the way of being a prince, the way of being a king.

His parents are so honorable, and they love each other so much, so that the most things around him are not the arms of his mother, but endless books, the careful teachings of the tutors, and the trembling faces and panicked faces of the palace people. scream.

Although Empress Li really loves him, and her eyes are always so gentle, but compared to power, love and people, he always needs to be put on the sidelines.
