Rebirth: Dominating the Country

"What does it matter to you whether you have someone you like or not?" Mu Yan continued the conversation.

The other party's reaction was surprisingly fast, and Mu Bai was also taken aback for a moment. Looking at Mu Yan's perfect profile, his heart skipped a beat, and he said what he heard when he was with those prodigal and moon-loving literati: "Of course it is Brother Mu is handsome, so he is worried."

As soon as Mu Bai finished speaking, he wanted to swallow his own tongue back into his stomach. If it was in an ordinary family, it would be very natural for brothers to joke about this kind of thing. Even if it is possible in the royal family, they must be very close. .

He and Mu Yan are neither. Strictly speaking, they can't even be regarded as brothers. This kind of joke that sounds particularly ambiguous is really inappropriate.

If it makes sense when he was a child, after all, he could be said to have adored and loved his elder brother extremely at that time, and it is natural for a child to care about the person he likes.

Now he has long since lost this kind of love and admiration, and he has the hat of a prince with broken sleeves on his head again.Sure enough, it was because of being too tired these few days that caused his brain to faint and said these words in that extraordinarily ambiguous tone.

After inspecting the distance between the two, Mu Bai immediately left from the edge of the bed, walked behind the screen and moved the chair he was sitting on before.

After sitting in a place that was not too close or far from the other party, he breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to change the topic just now with other things later.

Of course, he would not mention the Jingcheng incident today, and I don't know which generation it started. In the Northern Palace, brothers and sons are not encouraged to talk about serious topics such as war and cities in private in their respective bedrooms.

Even Emperor Qiwen had a tender and loving fatherly face in his bedroom. If there were no special circumstances, he would only talk about political affairs in places such as the imperial study.

Once neither of them opened their mouths, the atmosphere became extremely awkward, and Mu Bai was not good at changing the subject, so he simply remained silent, and was going to sit for a while before turning around and leaving.

Compared with the abnormality of the crown prince's East Palace today, he is now more interested in Su Nanny's affairs.

Fortunately, Mu Yan didn't seem to care, as if he didn't hear anything just now, he just spread his palms to look at those jade-like hands, and asked in a light tone: "Do you know why this mansion is so noisy today? Quiet?"

"There is no banquet in the palace recently, so it is the emperor who sent everyone out?" Someone even broke the silence and Mu Bai answered the question naturally.

"That's because there are thieves recruited in the East Palace."

This time Mu Bai was stunned, the Crown Prince's East Palace was heavily guarded, in order to protect the safety of the heir of the country, Emperor Qiwen even deployed a lot of manpower.

Mu Bai didn't know the number of hidden guards, but it was at least three times that of Prince An's Mansion.In such a place, it is possible for palace people to secretly take some unremarkable and unimportant things to supplement themselves. If they can take away things that require so many people to find, this thief is not only the best in the world, but also the first. Two.

Mu Bai didn't believe it, but he didn't question it: "Did the thief steal anything?"

"Of course there is." The young and handsome prince's eyes became darker, and he spoke with a rather meaningful taste, "I lost a very precious painting in this East Palace."

Mu Bai felt that something was a little tricky in his sleeve, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said with a puzzled face: "Which famous painting is it, it is worthy of the emperor's master so much, even the palace servants who are close to him Sent out?"

The person who stayed with Mu Yan on the side of the screen before was selectively ignored by Mu Bai. Since the other party didn't want him to know who that person was, he wouldn't be so stupid as to make trouble in the other party's territory.

"It's not a masterpiece by a famous artist, it's a very ordinary portrait, and it's only been around seven or eight years. Why, did you run into that thief?"

You can't say that your first wife stole your painting, but you may think it is your sweetheart who has been in love for many years.Mu Bai was a little thirsty, thinking about the painting in his sleeve, he sold the princess without blinking, of course he changed the truth a little: "I only saw the emperor's wife on the way here, and then heard Said that the emperor has a sweetheart."

Mu Yan seemed to be stalked, but it was only for a while, and he changed the topic back and forth with a half-smile: "If you meet that painting thief, don't forget to bring me that painting."

"In this case, my brother will leave first." Mu Bai stood up abruptly, of course he did not forget to express his lamentation for the "little nephew" who was not born, "If you still ask the emperor to express his condolences , there will always be other opportunities in the future.”

After speaking, Mu Bai turned around and left. Of course, he didn't forget to shake his sleeves on the way to make sure that the painting would not fall out halfway.

He returned the same way, but he still didn't see anyone, and he didn't see anyone looking for the portrait.

Sure enough, it was a lie, recalling Mu Bai's face and tone of speech at that time, it should be the attack of the disease, or the weak state after treatment, so it looks so rare and uneducated.

But one thing has finally been confirmed, the child in Yu's belly is definitely not Mu Yan's child.The latter didn't show any sadness at all, and the death statement of Mrs. Wang had just been passed to him after it was written on the paper.

Although Mrs. Wang hanged himself, the expression on his face was not distorted, and his body was clean and he did not suffer any hardships in prison.

With Mu Yan's temperament, if it was really his child, even if he didn't care too much, he wouldn't let the murderer go so easily.

He is very familiar with Mu Yan's pickiness, so it is absolutely impossible for Yu's stomach to be someone else's child. The men of the northern royal family will never be merciful to those who dare to cuckold themselves, but since If these two points are impossible, then what is in Yu's stomach is not necessarily a child.

"The servant obeyed the master's instructions and went to the southern border a few days ago. There is indeed a voodoo there that can make people pregnant, and people who are poisoned by the voodoo, regardless of gender, will gradually grow their stomachs and show a happy pulse. And there are more than one kind of Gu, and their effects are not the same."

Mu Bai was sitting in the carriage back to the palace, playing with the portrait he brought from the princess. Inside the huge carriage, there was a tightly wrapped young woman kneeling, most of her face was covered by a hazy tulle, only the A pair of autumn water cut pupils.But if you look closely, you can recognize her as Jinxiu who has disappeared in Prince An's Mansion for a long time. If she is familiar with someone, it's just that her voice is very different from when she was in Prince An's Mansion.

"What's the matter with your voice?" Mu Bai frowned slightly when he heard the other party's hoarse voice that sounded like a man's. What happened to the other party.

"It's just a little poison, it will be cured in a few days, please worry about the master, the servant already knows where the bones of the Wang family are thrown, please give me another half a month, the master will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer .” The woman’s voice was extremely harsh, like a carpenter sawing wood with a saw.

"Let Eleven go with you, and return to Prince An's Mansion in half a month." Mu Bai put away the paintings again, stepped on the bench prepared by his servants, and got off the carriage.

As soon as Mu Bai got out of the car, the coachman's hat was blown to the ground by a gust of wind. The middle-aged man froze for a moment, rubbed his eyes, scanned the surroundings of Prince An's mansion, and immediately opened the curtain. There are some decorations, but there is no one there.

Perhaps the black shadow just now was an illusion, the coachman muttered something in a low voice, then bent down to pick up his hat, and walked in through the back door of the palace with the carriage.

After entering the palace, Mu Bai casually put the portrait on the table in the study room, it was Su Momo who saw it when she brought in the books that had been hanging out today, and asked, Mu Bai remembered this time things come.

"Where did you get this portrait, little master?"

"The princess gave it to me. It is said that the portrait is of the prince's favorite person." Mu Bai was currently drawing the military distribution map of Jingcheng, and when he heard the other party's mention, he responded casually.

"Master, don't make fun of the nanny. This painting was painted by a court painter who painted the portrait of Empress Li eight years ago, but it was lost not long after. I still remember the seal underneath. I see it in this place." The appearance of the woman in the painting is not much different from the present Su Momo, but Feng Yun's expression looks younger, and the clothes on her body are more colorful.

"Maybe it's just a folk girl who looks like Nanny, and the crown prince happens to have a crush on her."

"Even if the appearance is the same, the clothes in this chapter and the person in the painting shouldn't be the same, right? This dress hasn't been worn by Mammy for a long time, and it has been pressed at the bottom of the box. If the master doesn't believe it, Mammy will go find it later. show you."

After drying the ink on the distribution map, Mu Bai rolled up the picture and placed the scroll on the highest place, and then he spared time to talk to Su Momo: "In the next few days, Momo will make a good arrangement to meet you. Well, didn't you say that the people over there are willing to see this king before? Taking advantage of the time these few days, after a few more days, it will become busy."

This time the woman didn't care about the crumpled painting, she gave a few more words to pay attention to her body, and walked out: "Give me three days, after three days, the master will go there with the mother."

Seeing the back of the woman leaving, Mu Bai closed the door, looked at the portrait for a while, then crumpled up the things and stuffed them into the trash can.

He naturally didn't believe what the crown princess said about the person she liked.It was probably used to distract attention. With the degree of admiration that woman has for his imperial brother, it is not impossible to obey Mu Yan unconditionally.

Although he called the other party the emperor's wife, he didn't show any respect in his heart. He was just an unimportant pawn, so he didn't need to care too much about what he said.

Mu Bai opened the window, and the cool night breeze rushed in, which woke up his drowsy head a bit.

The battle in Jingcheng is about to start, and the day when Mu Yan came to power in his previous life is very close but also very far away.
