Rebirth: Dominating the Country

"Ma'am, you've been away for so long, and it's hot enough, do you want to go back and rest first?" The maid fanned the woman in loose clothes while wiping the thin sweat off her forehead with a veil.

The woman stopped to take a breath, and looked at the pavilion on the rockery, but there was no one there.She sighed slightly disappointed: "My husband is no longer in the pavilion, so let's go back first." After she finished speaking, she stood up and slowly moved back to her bedroom from here with the help of the maid.Although her lower abdomen is still flat, she still pushes her belly out from time to time, with a very strenuous but very happy face.

When it was time to eat, she only drank some millet porridge that had been tested for poison, and then she felt a heavy drowsiness, and she fell asleep in the dark.

The waiters in the East Palace only saw the prince entering the room not long after, followed by a lady in pink shirt who was holding fresh shrimp, white jade and jade soup.The palace attendant serving concubine Yu tested the toxicity with a silver needle, and then carefully checked the soup against the recipe listed by the imperial physician, bowed to the prince, and then retreated out and closed the door.

The lady in the pink shirt raised her head, revealing a colorfully painted face, with thick eyebrows and regular features, but her make-up was messed up, making her look very pervasive. "She" rudely tore off her tightly buttoned collar, revealing her Adam's apple that only men have, and as soon as she put the soup pot on the table, she kept fanning herself with both hands: "You The clothes of the maids in the East Palace can be changed in the future, they are really too small, it can be suffocating in this weather."

The voice is also male, because the person speaking is none other than He Yaomian, whom Mu Yan recommended to Empress Li.

"Stop talking nonsense, look, what's going on with that thing in her stomach." Mu Yan interrupted his complaint impatiently.He Yaomian had no choice but to move a stool to sit down in a dignified manner, and put it on the sleeping woman's hand to check the pulse.

"Hey, where did you get this thing? It's a rare thing." He Yaomian wiped the colorful makeup on his face with his sleeve, took a pen and paper from the room and began to write the prescription.

She still kept muttering in her mouth: "Then your side concubine is in good health, but her health will deteriorate in the past few months, and various pregnancy symptoms will appear. Don't doubt my medical skills. It's just because the thing disguised itself for its own survival, causing the mother to show a pregnancy reaction. After a few months, your side concubine's belly will swell like other pregnant women, and people who don't know how to diagnose it will only It’s a happy pulse, but I can’t guess whether it’s male or female.”

Speaking of this, He Yaomian still didn't forget to raise his left hand holding the paper and swear: "Her medicine at the beginning is absolutely fine, and it is absolutely impossible for these women to cuckold you. I dare to guarantee it with my master's personality." , if there is any accident with my medicine, let him not lift for the rest of his life!"

After writing the prescription, He Yaomian looked at the woman on the bed with some pity: "You said that if you wait until the day, she will be so heartbroken that she thought she was not pregnant at all on the day she gave birth. You men who want to do big things are simply bad."

"Talk to Gu, don't talk like you're not a man." Mu Yan looked at the prescription and put it in his sleeve. The fake maid poured half of the soup into the vase in the corner, and lowered her eyebrows. He purposely followed His Royal Highness out of the room, walked through the long gallery and turned a few turns into the Prince's study.

The nanny appointed by Emperor Qiwen pushed the door open and entered Yu Shi's room, looked at the soup on the table, and carefully sized up Yu Shi, who was sleeping soundly, to make sure that the other party was comfortable before settling down , called two court ladies to come in and shake fans for the latter.

After entering the study, He Yaomian quickly washed off the makeup on his face with water and medicine, then dragged out his clothes from under the table in the study, ran to the back of the screen and changed them back.

"Let me tell you, although the thing you conspired can prolong your life, it is also very poisonous. Whether you take pity on it or not is none of my business. Its host mother will be severely punished after it is taken out. Hurt, but it is usually beneficial and harmless to the Yu family. After another four months, I will draw the Gu out of the blood. Before that, you'd better make sure that your princess doesn't move, if the host dies , this Gu will go crazy, even if it can be taken out completely, it can't be used as medicine."

Mu Yan hummed to show that he already knew, so He Yaomian put away that serious face, put on his usual hippie smiling face, and asked the question that had been scratching his heart for a long time: "Look at me working so hard, His Royal Highness will tell you Xiaomin, what did you talk about with Wang An today, but I just vaguely heard the word "gamble" from a distance. You know, I like to mix in other people's bets, especially this kind of bet The bigger I get, the more excited I get."

"You really want to know?" Because of that Gu, Mu Yan's mood is obviously exceptionally good today.

He Yaomian's eyes lit up: "Of course I really want to."

"Then wait until the Gu is taken out, and give your own life along with it."

As soon as Mu Yan finished speaking, He Yaomian disappeared into the tunnel immediately. Accompanied by the sound of floor tiles moving, his slightly hasty voice said, "I understand, I understand, Xiaomin is timid, don't keep secrets, just die."

Here Mu Bai was sitting in the carriage returning to the palace, rubbing the unfolded parchment, and he thought again about the reason why Mu Yan kept him and agreed to the bet.In Mu Yan's eyes, he was probably like a cat staring at a mouse, and he always had to satisfy his playfulness before killing the other.

Of course, according to Mu Yan's previous meaning, he must be with the other party forever.The crown prince's confession of the truth was nothing more than expressing such an attitude to him: no matter whether Mu Bai wanted to or not, he had to stay with Mu Yan to continue the entanglement, because the initiative was in Mu Yan's hands, and when would it be over? He has the final say, and Mu Bai cannot be allowed to say no.

Mu Bai's finger was circling where the Zhubi was pointing, the rabbit would bite if it was in a hurry, but what made Mu Yan let him take advantage of the opportunity was his overconfidence.Sooner or later, he will let Mu Yan understand that in this battle, it is definitely not just one person who can have the final say.

This time he and Mu Yan bet on nothing but Jingcheng, which is known as the toughest bone to crack.Jing and Cheng are located at the junction of Beiguo, Lingyue, and Nanao. Although the population is small and there are no mountains of jewels in the city, because it is located in a fortress, it has become a piece of sweet pastry for the three countries to compete for.

And Mu Bai's bet is exactly this city.If anyone can find a way to take Jingcheng, Jingcheng will become his fiefdom.For Emperor Qiwen, no matter who captured Jingcheng, it would be a good thing if it was included in the Northern Kingdom. As long as the crown prince agreed, he would naturally not come out to make a fool of himself.

Only when Jingcheng became his, could certain parts of the plan be implemented smoothly.Mu Bai tightly pinched the sheepskin base map with his fingers, and extremely complicated emotions were precipitated in his jet-black eyes.

Mu Yan's connivance towards him in some aspects was unexpected, probably because he underestimated him too much, or maybe because he wanted to raise an opponent of comparable power, and then entangled him life and death with him.But no matter which one it is, there is only one result that Mu Bai wants.In this life, he can only win but not lose.

After returning to Prince An's Mansion, Mu Bai went straight to Qinxin Garden where Madam Su lived. The maids and servants serving in Qinxin Garden were assigned tasks by the latter and left the garden. Only the dumb gardener attended to the flowers. Erli raised his head, and greeted Mu Bai a few times as greetings.

Su Momo's door was half-closed, Mu Bai knocked three times, and gently pushed the door open.The inside of the room smelled very strong of tea, and on the table was Madam Su's favorite tea set, but there was no one in the room, only smoke with the smell of sandalwood coming out of the crack in the wall.

"Master, pull out the grid in the third row and the fourth row, and then remove the picture of beauties on the wall." The woman's voice came from the wall, which seemed a little distorted.

Mu Bai walked in front of the huge tea cabinet, and took a lot of effort to pull out the grid. There was a sound of stones rubbing behind him, and the picture of the beauty clinging to the wall also floated up, revealing a six-foot-tall Come to the hole.

"Master, come in quickly, or the door will be closed immediately." This time it was indeed Madam Su's voice.

Mu Bai lifted the picture and bent slightly to get in. The inside was empty, only a low cabinet, an incense burner burning with sandalwood, and a small table with longevity cards.

Madam Su's dress was also very different from usual. She was wearing a crow-blue narrow-sleeved shirt, her hair was combed in a complicated bun, and there was a gold inlaid jade bracelet on her head. Her face was full of make-up. Mu Bai could hardly recognize that this was Nanny Su who had raised him for many years.

Su Momo stared devoutly at the longevity card on the table, and Mu Bai also put his eyes on the row above, on which were engraved nine small characters - the seat of longevity for Mu Dan, Prince Rui.

"Master, after reading so many history books, do you still remember who is on this longevity tablet?"

Mu Bai thought about it for a while, took the five incense sticks on the table, and inserted them into the incense burner after worshiping.

"Prince Rui is amazingly talented. He was a very famous all-rounder in civil and military affairs 400 years ago. There are authentic works of Prince Rui in the post I read. There are two volumes in the art of war that my master gave me. He has worked hard for the North Kingdom. The territory expanded and won the hearts of the people. Countless people used to enshrine longevity tablets for him back then. Unfortunately, he died young. Although he married a wife but failed to leave any heirs. At that time, Tai`zu could only appoint Prince Yu as the prince With today's northern royal family."

Mu Bai stared at the name: "So, counting, this Prince Rui is also my great-grandfather's uncle."

Mother Su took a deep breath, and finally decided to tell part of the truth back then: "Actually, Prince Rui was wary of Gaozu back then, expecting him to do such unconscionable things as killing his brother and father. At the beginning, the news of the princess's birth was not spread. So even though Prince Rui died, his confidants escaped with Prince Rui's blood. Prince Rui is not the uncle of the young master, but the great grandfather! "

Su Momo knelt down towards Mu Bai: "When Empress Li gave birth to a child, the fetus' painstaking efforts were useless to the prince's musings, and the fetus died of suffocation not long after the maid's ineffective supervision. went in."

The woman's face was full of sorrow and anger, and her words were crying blood: "Prince Yu took the throne of Prince Rui and persecuted him to death. The slaves thought that if the master didn't want to seize the throne, they would do everything in their power to help the master retire. But since the master has With such a thought, this servant has no choice but to tell His Highness the truth of the past, and will definitely use all the power she can use in the future to help His Highness take back the world that originally belonged to Prince Rui's lineage."

Su Momo said again in a deep voice, "This world should belong to you."
