Rebirth: Dominating the Country

To be able to arrange to accompany the prince as a companion, in addition to having a good mind and a decent appearance, the most important thing is that the family background is clean.The only son of Wen Shang's calligrapher was the only son of Wen Shang's family who accompanied the prince back then, while Shen Yixiao, Mu Bai's companion, was also a son of an official family.

At the beginning, Wen Yishao only accompanied the prince for two years because the prince was old and no longer needed to accompany him.But Shen Yixiao's situation is different now. His father is the body to be punished, and those children who implicate them are also demoted to low status. into the court.

"That's a good boy, but it's a pity." Su Momo was making tea for Mu Bai, the tea was just picked silver needle pekoe.Originally, it was the first time for Shen Yixiao to wait outside the hall, but now there was no one in that place.

"Teacher will probably be very busy these days, so you can call me after the tea is ready. I'll go outside to blow some air first." Mu Bai was silent for a while, and said this.

After he finished speaking, he got up and went outside. Mammy Su quickly put down the tea in her hand, took a cloak from the shelf and walked over quickly: "Put it on first, and if you freeze your body, are you going to make trouble with Madam or not?" Can't live with myself."

Mu Bai waited for the other party to fasten his cloak, and pulled the corners of his mouth, without asking anyone to follow, he lifted his feet and walked outside.

Su Momo looked at his back, sighed silently, and fiddled with her precious tea set on her own.

Looking at the gray sky inside the palace wall, Mu Bai took a deep breath, took off the cloak on his body, and let the cold wind blow his not sober mind.

These days passed so smoothly that he almost forgot that his brother could do such a thing.

Only Mu Yan can make this kind of method that doesn't even care about his own people for the purpose.If it wasn't for the fact that the partition wall has ears, he really wanted to yell at the palace wall that the other party was shameless, crazy, unscrupulous, and insane!

But a good self-cultivation destined him not to vent like a shrew. Where is the difference in status between him and Mu Yan? It would be useless if he scolded him. Maybe it would spread to Emperor Qiwen's ears, and his impression of him would be even worse.

In this big cleansing, apart from Shen Yixiao's father Shen Cong, imperial historian Ming Ga, Shangshu Zuocheng Hu Qingxuan and other officials were also imprisoned.

The power that Mu Bai can use is really limited, taking advantage of the time these few days, he went to the Penglai Hall, and euphemistically explained his purpose of coming.

The other party squinted a pair of peach blossom eyes, fingering the cherry beads carved from red jadeite on the plate with his slender fingers painted in fiery red Kou Hong, with a lazy smile on his pretty face, but his tone was somewhat dissatisfied: "It's just a companion That's all, your brother can deal with it if you want to deal with it. There is one thing I want you to know. It is said that there is no poison and no husband. I know that you are a smart person. It is impossible to understand this truth. Your current bodhisattva heart can be taught How can I rest assured that I will hand over my wealth and life to your hands."

But Mu Bai shook his head: "I don't care about other people, after all, Shen Yixiao has been my companion for many years, if I do nothing, Father will think I'm cold-hearted again, you know what they always want me to be people."

Concubine Min glanced at him with a half-smile: "I didn't see it, your eloquence is good, but it's true, how about it, I have a clan brother guarding the border, just teach him to take care of it."

The relatives that Concubine Min said were the top officials in Hongcheng where the Shen family was going, and with his protection, Shen Yixiao's life would not be too difficult, and this favor was accepted by Mu Bai.

When Taifu Xia found time and resumed normal teaching, the cleaning campaign was almost over.Originally, there were not many people in the Guozijian, but now it is even more empty, and it looks extremely depressed.

Although Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has not been greatly affected, he has restrained a lot. Even his precious son Wen Yishao has grown up overnight. Although his face is still so young and immature, his whole temperament has changed. , no longer impetuous, but more stable and dull as Mu Bai remembered.

"Hello, Second Prince." When Mu Bai entered, the other party raised his head and said hello politely. Although the smile on his face was a little unnatural, it was completely different from the previous indifference.

This is the Wen Yishao in his memory, Mu Bai nodded lightly to indicate that he knew, but he didn't smile.

To put it in a common way, it is to put all the badness that was on the surface into the heart. At first glance, he is a good person, but if you don't pay attention, you will be fooled by him.

The factions of the Yu family and the Shen family were not in the same camp, so they were not involved this time.When Yu Hang was in his spare time, he looked over worriedly several times, but Mu Bai turned back with a comforting smile, indicating that he was fine.

If something happens to the Shen family, things can happen to the Yu family ahead of time. In those days in my memory, Mu Yan, who was already the king of a country, was like this now, taking away people who were close to him one by one, and then those people were always in front of him. Die alone in an unknown place.

Whether it's lovers, friendships, or even enemies, every Mu Yan he can have must be taken away one by one, and removed one by one.Only by making him a complete loner would the latter be willing to give up.

Whether it was the court lady with a sweet smile and round face when she was young, Su Zhiran who grew up with her, or Shen Yixiao now, there are traces of Mu Yan's push behind their disappearance and going away.

The body of the little maid was buried in the well water of an abandoned palace ten days after she disappeared, and there were still deep bruises on her neck. At that time, Mu Bai was only six or seven years old. His swollen body vomited out on the spot.

That night, he had a high fever, which almost burned his brain, and when the fever subsided, Mu Bai automatically sealed up the memory of that little maid, as if he had never seen such a person before.

The imperial doctor said that this is a kind of self-protection of the second prince's body. If he is stimulated, he may still remember it, but he may have a high fever like now.Mother Su who was waiting on the master gave the death order, and no one in Jingren Hall dared to mention that poor little maid in front of Mu Bai.

Before Yu Hang has climbed to that position, he will not show too close to the other party.He didn't want the other party to become the second little maid or Shen Yixiao.

Because of some more and more biased thoughts, Mu Bai was in a daze for the whole morning, Taifu Xia Ming'an didn't say anything, and the whole Imperial College was extremely dull for a while.

There are more than fifty maidservants and eunuchs serving in Jingren Palace, four of whom are confidante of Empress Li, four are from the emperor, six are from Prince Muyan, two are sent by Concubine Min, and Madam Su A dozen or so were trained, and the rest were ordinary maidservants.He just simply does what he is supposed to do, and if someone finds him, he will do as he is told. To put it bluntly, he is a fool, and if he is not loyal to a fixed person, he can easily threaten to buy him off.

Before going to bed, Mu Bai called Su Momo to him, stared at her for a long time, and then said: "No matter what, Momo must remember to protect herself."

The woman smiled, hesitated for a while, put down the hand that was about to rub Mu Bai's head, and twisted the corner of the quilt for Mu Bai: "Nurse will protect yourself, you have to take care of yourself, don't get sick again. "

Su Momo is the female official assigned by Emperor Qiwen to Mu Bai, she has served Mu Bai since he was born, and she is the only one in the palace who is willing to consider him sincerely.She is a smart person with good means and background, and taught Mu Bai a lot.

Originally, she was Mu Bai's closest and most trusted person, and I don't know if it was because it was difficult to strike, or because Madam Su was too vigilant, and Mu Yan never tried to trip her up, or in other words, he didn't succeed. .It's a pity that the previous prince Mu Yan succeeded to the throne smoothly. Although Madam Su left the palace and continued to serve in Prince An's Mansion, she was brutally murdered in the third year of Mu Yan's succession to the throne, at the age of forty-five.

For Mu Bai, the other party is not just a nanny as a servant, but an elder who can shield him from the wind and rain, but when he grows up, he should use his own strength to protect the latter.

Before the elders of the Shen family left, Mu Bai went out to the palace. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, he did not meet Shen Yixiao privately, but went to the bank to exchange some silver without the royal seal, and handed it over to the The elder brother who was exiled together with the other party.

Like other common people, he stood on the tall building closest to the city gate and watched from a distance until the Shen family's carriage slowly drove out of the gate.

The afterglow of the setting sun was imprinted on the young man's handsome side face, making the expression on that face dim.
