Rebirth: Dominating the Country

At dawn, the luminous pearls inlaid on the candlesticks were put away, and the curtain made of Yuelong gauze was half rolled up, revealing the main hall illuminated by a few dim lamps placed inside.At this hour in recent days, the East Palace was darker than ever before, but today all the palace people retreated, leaving only the master of the East Palace alone in the empty and quiet hall.

That extremely handsome man sat on the grand master's chair in a rather casual posture. No matter what the expression was on his face, this perfect face looked very exciting.The man's dark eyes were fixed on the burning lamp on the table. There was no wind in the hall, and the extremely light tulle curtain never trembled at all from the beginning to the end.

When the moon completely disappeared, the bright and flickering blue flame jumped suddenly, and finally the whole table went dark, leaving only the most ordinary palace lantern.

Another lantern went out, the last one.The entire quiet palace began to make noises, from the rooms of the lowest palace servants to the high emperor.The East Palace where the crown prince was staying was always shrouded in silence.What broke the silence was the hurried footsteps of the palace people. The person who came was a palace lady in a pink palace gown. Her appearance could only be described as pretty, but she didn't show the slightest timidity when she saw the gloomy master.

When she saw the extinguished ever-burning lamp, the lady-in-waiting stopped, but a male voice came out of her mouth: "The late emperor is dead!"

"She" tore off the thin mask on her face from her neck bit by bit, rubbed it on her face again, and restored her original appearance, which was He Yaomian who disappeared for a long time after Queen Li passed away.

As soon as his words fell, the man sitting on the chair immediately fell into a strange state, his whole body seemed to be emitting black air, his head was lowered, like being possessed by a monster in those ghost novels Like a person who can raise his head at any time to reveal a terrifying face.

But he also knew clearly that the other party was indeed of the blood of the True Dragon Emperor, not that blue-faced fang-toothed monster.In this world, some people are much scarier than the heart-eating ghosts in those ghostly essays.

Mu Yan in this state shows that he is in an extremely bad mood. In this situation, even if he says a wrong word or makes a wrong action, it may lead to disaster. He Yaomian has already experienced it once. When Empress Li died.Although he can guarantee that he will not lose his little life, he really annoyed the person in front of him, but he cannot escape the crime of living. He studied medicine because he was afraid of pain and suffering. It tastes like white water.

Being able to stay by Mu Yan's side for so long, he is not stupid at all, especially now, his whole body is highly concentrated, not letting go of the slightest change in the other party's expression, and at the same time thinking about the use of every question. What kind of tone and expression is the best answer, it is really careful.

"Why are you so scared? I have no other interest in you." Decadence has never belonged to Mu Yan, and in just half a cup of tea, this extremely handsome man stood up from the ground, and his body was gone. There was a palpitating breath, and even the corners of his mouth were rarely bent.

"Your Highness is right. It's the grassroots who are too timid. If God strikes a thunder, he will worry about whether it will hit him." The hair on the temples of He Dapharmacist, who can barely be called gentle and handsome, was soaked in cold sweat. Half of them didn't let down half of their vigilance because of the other party's unsparing smile.In his eyes, although the moody prince looks like he is smiling, he is more terrifying than when he is not smiling. A heartless person like him would go crazy when his parents died. For a while, besides, Emperor Xian and Empress Li treated Mu Yan not badly.

Although the royal family is said to be ruthless, the person in front of him has been tortured by illness for so many years. It stands to reason that he should be the one who was abandoned among the two brothers, but the husband and wife were born opposite to each other.Anyway, he would never understand the thoughts of these royal people, if it wasn't because of Mu Yan's illness that got him involved, he would have disappeared without a trace and become his brother Xiaoyao.

"How did he die?" Mu Yan suppressed the smile on his face, dipped his fingertips into the tea and unconsciously wrote a white word on the table, and quickly erased it. The man's dark pupils reflected the warm light of the candle. , but his expression was icy cold.

He Yaomian froze for a moment before realizing that the other party was talking about the emperor who had just passed away.His throat moved, feeling a little dry, the index finger and middle finger of his left hand were twisted together unconsciously, the little finger was buckled into the gap, and the thumb rested on top, twisting into a very weird look.

This is only when he is extremely nervous. In the past, no matter how nervous he was in front of Mu Yan, his hands were naturally hanging down. Even if his face was pale and his hair was wet with cold sweat, it was not his hands. Nothing unusual.In the past 20 years, there were only a few times that He Yaomian was really nervous, and this was the first time he was in front of Mu Yan.

After deliberating for a long time, the young pharmacist still decided to tell the truth. Of course, he chose a relatively euphemistic way of saying: "Your Majesty didn't suffer too much physical pain when he left. However, because of the conflict between Zhang Guifei's medicine and the Queen's Empress, , so His Majesty is in a bit of a hurry to go down."

What He Yaomian didn't say was that because His Majesty left in such a hurry, the imperial decree drafted by others was written with the name of the first emperor and stamped with the seal of the jade seal.For Mu Yan now, this news is much worse than the previous news.The emperor had already been killed by his bedside person, let alone Mu Yan, the deposed prince.

What a proud person Mu Yan is. The education he has received over the past 20 years has told him that this world will be his.If that kind of cowardly or incompetent person is robbed, he is robbed, but this one, tsk tsk.He Yaomian could already imagine what the other party would look like when he heard all the news, so it was better for him to stand silently and let the gunfire fall on others.

For the current deposed prince Mu Yan, the palace is not safe.Concubine Zhang Gui had stayed in the palace for so many years, and now even the highest ranking one dared to make a move, there must be more than one good card in her hand.Coupled with King An's power, if Mu Yan transferred half of the power in the palace because of other matters, the latter had no chance of winning.

At such a time, Mu Yan would transfer half or even more of the power in his hands because it was predicted that the late emperor's illness would last at least a year.He Yaomian had been transferred from the Eastern Palace to the emperor since the day when the latter became ill, but now less than half a year later, he left inexplicably.

The emperor's body can still be dragged on for a while, obviously some people can't wait.It's not that that person didn't think of this when he was sober. According to his private arrangement, the winner could not have been Mu Bai. Unfortunately, that person was too reassured about the first queen. Even though he was extremely careful, in the end it was Take your own life.

This fault must be caused by Concubine Min. The medicine she gave the emperor to drink on weekdays is indeed not poisonous at all. According to the words of the most trusted imperial physician of the late emperor, there is nothing wrong with the prescription, and the imperial concubine There was no conflict between the medicine proposed to be added and the prescription, and no one tampered with the medicine that was boiled out. The problem was that the medicine given by Li Hou happened to be incompatible with the medicine provided by Zhang Jin.Anyway, it's a palace secret, something that even Mu Yan doesn't know about, it's even more impossible for He Yaomian, who has been wandering around the rivers and lakes all year round, to know about it.

Since the Ninth Five-Year Lord fell ill, he has been served by Concubine Min Zhang Jin. The medicine has been tried by a special person, and every food is handled by the emperor's trusted old palace. The maid he pretends to be is from the imperial concubine's palace It was transferred out, but it only had the general trust of the former, and the person in charge was to pass the face-washing veil to the emperor.He could only judge the other party's physical condition by observing the emperor's complexion. Based on this, he would definitely not be able to tell whether there was poison in the emperor's body.

Today, the emperor was in a pretty good mental state, but he suddenly left.When he died, his face was very ugly. When he was in trouble, he wrapped the other party's wrist with a thread that was extremely difficult to teach people to see. After feeling the pulse and dying, the first emperor washed his face with warm water and looked at the imperial concubine. The empress closed the eyes of that mighty Ninth Five Lord.

The result of the imperial physician's diagnosis was that the emperor was exhausted, and his spirit was just a flashback for a while.The person who should cry stood in front of the emperor and shed tears desperately, but the prince who was originally aloof could only take this opportunity to escape from the palace.Mu Yan went to see that man for the last time, and when he returned to the East Palace, the ex-prince who had been accused of various crimes had been replaced by a substitute who was destined to die.

Mu Yan never underestimated his father. In fact, if it wasn't for the latter's arrangement, he would never have escaped from the palace. This was the first time he was in such a mess, but it didn't mean the end. In a way, it's just the beginning.

There are many secret ways in the royal family, and Mu Bai knows most of them, but there are always a few that only those who have inherited the throne and the heirs recognized by the emperor can know.When the news came out that the "Deposed Prince" committed suicide in fear of crime in the East Palace, Mu Yan's shelter was also stabilized.

I have to say that the human skin mask made by He Yaomian is very useful. Through those secret passages, the ex-prince wearing a court lady's costume and a mask can easily enter the palace. Mu Bai is busy with the enthronement ceremony, which is lively The place is extremely lively, and the deserted place is extraordinarily deserted, no one will pay attention to such an unattractive maid with thick hands and feet.

Some of the maids in the palace came from the countryside. They could not be favored by the emperor. They only entered the palace because of their strength. They were also women who could do some dirty jobs that required strength. They were different from those maids. What he wears is also coarse clothes that are convenient for work. He doesn't wear makeup, and he doesn't wear so many hosta and gold hairpins.

If it weren't for this, Mu Yan wouldn't have wronged himself to such an extent.He has always been a very ruthless person, he is ruthless to others, and he is also ruthless to himself.It's a pity that it's inevitable that he can't let go of his face, this time Mu Bai even gave him the biggest humiliation, and it's not a big deal to pretend to be a country woman in front of others.

Don't even think about it, there must be many people guarding the Crown Prince's East Palace at this time, and it is still the kind that can only enter and cannot exit. Anyone with a suspicious face will be arrested and interrogated on the same day when he enters, so when Mu Yan came from the quiet side hall Walking out and walking through the long palace corridor, he did not go back to the East Palace to pick up things, but chose to go to the Jingren Palace where King An lived before leaving the palace to build the mansion.

To his surprise, the man who was supposed to be busy being crowned the Great Treasure appeared here. The Jingren Palace was no longer served. The future emperor, the current winner, sat on a big chair a little tiredly. Putting his limbs into a comfortable posture, his face did not show much joy, and his eyes were not focused on looking at the somewhat empty hall.

At that moment, his feeling was very subtle.There seems to be such a scene in my memory, but it was many years ago. Mu Bai, who was still a child, hid behind the table and looked at him secretly, holding the gadgets he just collected in his hand. Come to "present treasure".

Next, the child accidentally made a noise. When he turned around, he saw the face that was a little scared but looking forward to it. He was in a good mood that day. The person was put away, and played with each other for a while for the first time, like a real good brother.

The man's memories were not long, but when he withdrew from the memories, the young monarch in blue clothes came to him without knowing it. "Which palace are you from?"

Mu Yan was taken aback at the beginning, he didn't have a weapon on him, so it was inappropriate and irrational to do it here.Therefore, he quickly lowered his head and tried to imitate the tone and demeanor of the country woman: "Mr. Lan belongs to Qi Yundian, and since the shovel was taken away by a puppy, she followed her along to find her. I never thought that I would run into a nobleman."

This woman doesn't look very good, and her voice is not very nice, her voice is still trembling at the moment, I have never seen Mu Bai so I don't know that he is the new emperor, but she is definitely not to be provoked by her overall demeanor Master, it's always right to call him a nobleman.Mu Yan felt that he hadn't done anything wrong, and the man in front of him just squinted his eyes and let her go.

He was fully prepared to enter the palace. Although the mask on his face was not pulled from a human face, it was made after a real person.This Lan family did raise a puppy, and the woman had been knocked out and taken out of the palace, but the shovel was not thrown by the dog, but he deliberately threw it out, in order to have a suitable excuse for meeting someone.Even if Mu Bai wanted to investigate, he couldn't find anything suspicious.

But now, he will definitely not be able to go out in the past few days, and it will be difficult to change back.Sure enough, people came to the woman's place that night, but to Mu Yan's surprise, the emperor called on "her", a rough folk woman who could only dig well water and serve those flowers and trees, to come close to her. serve.

At that time, he didn't know that the woman surnamed Lan he replaced had actually met Mu Bai in his memory, and not only that, but also provided life-saving help.It's just that Mu Bai has never encountered any difficulties in this life, so he has never met him.Lan is a careful and kind-hearted woman, honest and honest, with great strength, but she is not very good-looking and her family is poor, so she plans to enter the palace to do some rough work. Older men had children and lived on.

When meeting a lifesaver, even though it was only from the previous life, Mu Bai still had the idea of ​​letting him live a better life.Staying in the cold palace is not as good as being surrounded by rich clothes and fine food. All the palace people think about what he means when they speak all day long, and they are all very smart, and they need such an uninterested person to adjust their mood.

Mu Yan didn't know this, at first he thought he had been discovered, but the other party deliberately played tricks, and after a few days of carefulness, he realized that was not the case at all.During that time, if Mu Bai really found his trail, he would definitely not keep it like this, but immediately killed him to avoid long nights and dreams.

The new emperor fell in love with a very old-looking country woman with vulgar behavior!This simply caused the jaws of those courtiers who were eager to stuff women into the emperor's harem to drop.The emperor originally loved those elegant things, and whoever loves a romantic and talented man is not a gentle and beautiful woman.This Lan family has thick hands and thick feet, is still tall, and is too big to read, let alone proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is good at singing and dancing.Such a role is obviously not suitable for Xie Yuhua. There are rumors that the new emperor has a strong taste, and he likes this kind of strong woman who is more masculine!

Let’s just say that when the emperor was still Wang An, the beauty was not married, and something happened with the man.It is said that the dead queen mother, the new emperor's biological mother was not very kind to him during her lifetime.Probably because of this reason, the emperor also preferred older women.It's also possible that the emperor really didn't have a habit of breaking sleeves, but he just liked women with male faces.

And although this village woman said that her background was not very good, her age and appearance were in line with this, and she had never met a man.If the emperor really likes them, there is nothing wrong with it.As long as he doesn't occupy the positions of the queen and those concubines, it doesn't matter what kind of woman the new emperor wants.

The former crown prince Mu Yan who was regarded as the new emperor's "loved woman" expressed that he was not happy at all, even though because of Mu Bai's favor, he could not live with other court ladies so as not to reveal his secrets.But if it was the original owner, it would be difficult to be greeted by those maids who wanted to fly to the branches all day long.

He has never underestimated women's fighting power and scheming, and he has often stood aside to watch the show, and even contributed to the flames, but when those who were framed and tricked became him, it was a different matter.After dealing with a few women with ulterior motives with Lan's simple and rude methods, Mu Yan's steadfast heart was also shaken a little.

Mu Bai's treatment of this Lan family is indeed very different, he is very good to Lan family, although it is far from being as good as that of Su Momo, but it is much better than other court ladies and eunuchs.

There were so many rumors that even Mu Yan almost believed it.But the current Lan family is him, if the monarch really wants to pamper Lan family, he has no reason to refuse.Even with the excuse that the woman came to Kuishui, it wouldn't last long, and according to the tight protection in front of the emperor, he wouldn't want to change it back in the short term.

After worrying for a long time, Mu Yan realized that not only those women, but also himself were really thinking too much.He has never experienced such things as love between men and women, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand.It is said that the bystander knows clearly, and some people don't get caught up in this just because they see too clearly.

Mu Yan is naturally sensitive to people's hearts, no matter how decently others say it, he can still clearly tell what Mu Bai's feelings for "Lan Shi" are.At best, the other party thinks that Lan's family is more interesting, with a more pure mind, and it's pretty good to serve her.

The most difficult people to guess their minds are the ones with the most complex and the purest minds.The former is because you don’t understand his thoughts, and the latter is because you are too simple to play cards according to common sense. You may not be able to do both of which are things that normal people would do for granted.

Mu Yan belongs to the former category, while Lan's obviously belongs to the latter category.It is not too difficult for him to play such a person.Although this Lan family is an unmarried woman, because she has no money, she is a bit slovenly, and usually does not wear rouge and gouache at all.

Today's Lan family, that is, Mu Yan, has money, and some people who want to curry favor with the emperor sent over excellent rouge and gouache.But for Mu Yan, he has done enough to imitate this vulgar woman while wearing a woman's mask, and it is almost impossible for him to put any rouge and powder on the mask.

Fortunately, this Lan family is not outstanding on weekdays, and she doesn't get in touch with anyone. Not many people know her.Mu Bai also only remembers Lan's face and her name, other people in the palace who know Lan's are just casual acquaintances, and they will definitely not be able to tell if she is real or not.Mu Yan pretended to be her less restrained, and not as annoying as he thought.

However, there are always some surprises in life, such as this handsome and short eunuch in front of him.

"You mean you want to confront me?!" Mu Yan's current voice is the result of taking the voice-changing pill made by He Yaomian.One can last half a month, and he brought a whole bottle just to be on the safe side.

The handsome little eunuch's fair face flushed instantly, he lowered his head and stood on tiptoe wringing his fingers like you are so straightforward.

Mu Yan's complexion immediately turned dark, and his pupils, which were as dark as dots of ink, were also quite gloomy.The little eunuch felt that the atmosphere was not right and raised his head, but the tall court lady in front of him still looked naive.

However, it was this naive woman who broke his dreamy boyish heart all at once.

"No, I cannot agree."

"Why not?" The little eunuch's eye circles turned red immediately, "Is there anything I can't do well?"

"There is nothing wrong with you." The strong woman patted his immature shoulder reassuringly, "Because they all said that His Majesty treated me very differently, and I was only doing it for your own good."

The little eunuch sobbed for a while, seeing the gloating expressions of the surrounding guards who dared to snatch a woman from the emperor, they must have been blurred, and ran away with a sad and scared expression.

Lan shamelessly missed His Majesty, and said that His Majesty had a crush on her, and rumors that even the handsome little eunuch refused cruelly when she asked for food spread throughout the palace that day.

When Mu Bai heard the rumors, he was critiquing the papers, and with a shake of his hand, a cloud of ink made the papers persuading him to accept the concubine messy.It was only then that he remembered that Mrs. Lan didn't seem to be here, and asked Mr. Xi who was standing beside him, and he said that Mrs. Lan was not feeling well today and asked for leave.

Lan, who is not in good shape, is looking for things in "her" house.In his bones, after all, he was still the lofty Emperor Guiwei.Even if it looks like it, it can't last long.What's more, Mu Bai is not a fool, and it will inevitably reveal his secrets after a long time.

Lan himself doesn't have any good things, last time Mu Bai gave a lot of jewelry and silver, but there were no silks and satins.He could only find out the good cloth that the old girl put on the bottom of the box, tear it off, and wash the hands that touched the little eunuch.

If it was in the past, he would have asked someone to drag the little eunuch out. If he hadn't cared about Lan's good image, he wouldn't have been able to suppress his disgust and act like that, and even pat him on the shoulder.

When it was the holiday, the False Lan family finally took the time to change back. He still took some important things this trip, and it was not in vain.

"Your Majesty, please ask Aunt Lan to visit." Today, the Lan family seems to be a big celebrity in front of the new emperor. Although it is unlikely, there are some rumors that she has an affair with the most honorable master.Except for some who are not good-looking, there are also people whose status far surpasses hers, which one is not respectful and polite.

The father-in-law who was in charge of conveying the order obviously felt a biting chill at that moment. The ugly old girl in front of him exuded the aura of a high-ranking person, but the suffocating coercion was only for a moment, and he blinked. In the blink of an eye, the other party still looked so naive.

"Then I will trouble my father-in-law to lead the way."

Mu Yan followed behind, and what Mu Bai was doing was naturally the rumors that were running wildly.The young monarch expressed that he had no such intentions. Seeing the ecstatic face of the person in front of him, Mu Bai's expression froze, and he opened his mouth tentatively: "I think you seem a little different?"

The author has something to say: There is another one that is about the same length as this one or maybe even longer
