After usurping the throne, he died

Chapter 24

??Shi He put the last powder back into the white porcelain bottle, then put down his sleeves and turned around: "Your Highness looks very bad."

??Mu Xiang pursed her lower lip, vaguely remembering the painful and sore feeling in the dream.

??Seeing that Mu Xiang didn't reply, Shi He walked over and grabbed his wrist, but before he could feel his pulse, Mu Xiang slammed him away: "Don't touch me."

??Shi He was slightly startled, and paused for a while with his hands in mid-air: "I offended you."

?? After Mu Xiang finished speaking, he regretted it. He shouldn't have imposed the source of the pain in the dream on Shi He: "I..."

?? "If your Highness feels unwell, remember to call the imperial physician." Shi He had already returned to his usual appearance, with a calm tone.

?? Mu Xiang opened his mouth, wanting to explain what he did just now, but he couldn't.

?? I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Shi He is wearing a half-high collar robe today, which just covers the position of the wound on his neck bitten by Mu Xiang.

?? And his hand that was thrown by Mu Xiang and hit the corner of the table a few days ago has not healed, and he can vaguely see that the back of his hand is still scabbed, which is particularly dazzling.

??Mu Xiang was silent for a long time and walked towards the door. After walking a few steps, he turned his back to Shi He and said, "Gu will eat here tonight."

??Shi He: "Okay."

??Mu Xiang returned to the imperial study room, but had no intention of correcting the memorial, only felt that every line of the memorial showed the shadow of Shi He.

??He called Shang Xi: "Go and send some good medicine for golden sores to Mr. Guoshi."

?? Why is it still scabbing? It's too slow, and then he added: "Go yourself."

"Here." It's not that Shang Xi didn't see the injury on the national teacher's hand, but he didn't expect it to be caused by his Majesty.

??Mu Xiang was in a state of absent-mindedness all afternoon, until he saw familiar handwriting on the memorial—it was the note written by Shi He to Su Min Wangyi.

??Mu Xiang felt sad for no reason.

??Yu Shumin is the youngest son of the Yu family, and also the most naughty one.

??During his childhood, most of the unfair treatment that Mu Xiang received came from this young son of the family, his cousin in name.

?? Yu Shumin took the lead in isolating him. In winter, he poured cold water on his bedding, cut his clothes to shreds, urinated in his food and asked him if he wanted to eat.

Mu Xiang has been here these days, and he also has the ability to take revenge, but he hasn't found it for a long time. In addition to not finding a suitable reason for the time being, it is also because of the current Yu family, and the current Yu Shumin is nothing to him. It's just an ant that can be crushed to death at any time, so it's not worth worrying about.

??Shi He gave him a reason to move to Yu's house immediately, but on the other hand, the reason why he was sent to Yu's house in the first place was also because of Shi He.

??"His Majesty--"

??"His Majesty?"

"..." Mu Xiang came back to his senses, looked at Shang Xi who had returned, "Send it?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's delivered." Shang Xi served a bowl of medicinal food, and tried it with a silver needle, "It was brought by the master of the State Teacher, and said that His Highness should take it as soon as possible if you feel unwell."

??Mu Xiang looked at this bowl of medicinal food for a long time, but finally drank it down.

??He didn't have any discomfort, it was just because the dream disturbed his mind.

?? He intuited that he had had more than one dream related to Shi He in such a long time, but this was the first time he remembered all the contents. It was not so much a dream, but more like a hard-won past.

?? "Prepare more for dinner."

??Mu Xiang reported the names of some dishes, and Shang Xi wrote them down one by one.

??At this time, the scholar who was temporarily serving as the Minister came to see him. After Mu Xiang was summoned, he saw a handsome man in a short time. He looked young and looked about twenty.

?? He stepped forward and knelt down on the ground: "My minister Zhu Chunrong sees Your Majesty!"

??Mu Xiang looked down at him: "Do you know why you came to Beijing this time?"

?? "I know a thing or two, please give me your Majesty's advice."

?? "The three dynasties of the Ministry of Industry all have the surname Jiang, so I just want to get new blood." Mu Xiang came up with a heavy hammer, "Are you sure?"

??Zhu Chunrong was not surprised either, and replied tactfully: "I will do my best, and I will never disappoint Your Majesty!"

"Get up."

??The Ministry of Industry is now like a large piece of carrion in life. If you remove the carrion, you will get seriously ill or lose your limbs. If you don’t remove this carrion, it will lead to disaster sooner or later.

??Zhu Chunrong is obviously very familiar with the current government of Daxiang. No matter what Mu Xiang says, he can answer it. The most important thing is that he understands the people's sentiments very well. He has made a lot of achievements in the past three years working outside Beijing, and the people's hearts are very strong.

?? And Mu Xiang had already found someone to check him out. He was born in a poor family and had no teachers or schools. Such a person would be easier to use.

??The two chatted until it was getting dark. At the end, Zhu Chunrong boldly said: "Your Majesty and my minister heard something different on the way to Beijing."

??Mu Xiang glanced at him: "What's the difference?"

??Zhu Chunrong cleverly avoided the common people's evaluation of Mu Xiang, but said what he said after seeing Mu Xiang: "I am not afraid of your Majesty's jokes, I know a thing or two about Fengshui."

?? "Tell me."

?? "As soon as I see Your Majesty, I will see that Your Majesty is covered with great merit." Zhu Chunrong said respectfully, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

?? "Merits?" Mu Xiang chewed up these two words, and suddenly lost his appreciation for Zhu Chunrong. He was also the kind of flatterer at that time.

?? There are still some people who say that the word "merit" is placed on Shihe, but it is nonsense to put it on him.

??So I was thinking of making Zhu Chunrong the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, but now I'm directly downgraded to one level. Let's wait a month and see.

?? When Zhu Chunrong stepped out of the threshold, he didn't understand why he changed his position for no reason. What sentence did he say wrong?

??It seems that although the rumors are not entirely credible, some of them are true.Even with great merit, he is still an unpredictable emperor.

??—

??Mu Xiang glanced at the night outside the window and knew that he could not delay any longer, so he set off for Weiyang Palace.

??Shi He had already been waiting at the table, as if waiting for him to come. After seeing the wine jar in his arms, his eyes paused slightly: "Why do you want to drink today, Your Highness?"

"I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Mu Xiang put the wine jar on the table, and then let the maid who tested the poison go down, "I haven't seen Mr. Guoshi get drunk before."

??Shi He glanced at the back of the poison-testing maid: "Your Highness, look back..."

??Mu Xiang blocked his words: "Who dares to play with poison in front of the national teacher?"

??Shi He didn't say anything, but helped him open the wine jar and filled the wine glasses in front of them.

??Mu Xiang and Shi He clinked glasses, drank the first glass of wine, and asked: "The national teacher is invulnerable to a hundred poisons, won't he return a thousand cups without getting drunk?"

??Shi He shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."

??Mu Xiang was slightly surprised: "The national teacher has never been drunk before?"

??Shi He paused and said: "I have never drank alcohol before."

??Mu Xiang was taken aback: "At the banquet that day, was it your first time?"

??Shi He filled Muxiang's wine glass again, acquiescing to the matter.

??Mu Xiang drank the second glass of wine alone, hiding his expression with his wide sleeves.

?? No wonder.

??That day, the dishes on their table were obviously underestimated, but Shi He didn't find out immediately and stop him, and he also gave him guidance when he took a medicinal bath and couldn't relieve it. The words were indeed different from the usual ones.

??Recalling the ignorant and ignorant behavior of a child in front of Shi He that day, Mu Xiang felt hot all over his body, and it seemed that his shameless panting that day came from his ears.

?? Must be too strong wine.

?? He tried his best to calm down his expression: "This altar of wine came from the East Palace alone."

?? Shi He hummed: "I know."

??Mu Xiang was not surprised either: "Is there anything else about Daxiang that Master Guoshi doesn't know?"

??Shi He: "Too many."

Mu Xiang stared at him intently for a long time: "It is said that this altar of wine was buried in the winter of the year the emperor picked up Chang Qing, and that he dug it up after Chang Qing got married in the future, but it was a pity that he was orphaned. "

??He didn't wait for Shi He to speak again: "When Gu Xiang was Chang Qing's age, he was imprisoned in the deserted palace by Muhuai River. No one spoke, like a lonely wild ghost with no home to return to."

??Shi He frowned slightly, and quickly let go: "If your Highness wants any compensation, you can ask for it."

?? "Compensation? I want you to stay in this Weiyang Palace forever, is the national teacher willing?"

??Seeing that Shihe didn't make a sound, Mu Xiang picked up a piece of fish for him, and said: "Then I'm going to kill you, can you give me?"

??The scene was quiet for a while, but Shi He was still calm, and put the fish in the bowl into his mouth: "I'm afraid I can't give my life to Your Highness."

??Mu Xiang sneered: "It's not okay, that's not okay. What kind of compensation are you talking about with Gu?"

??Shi He: "..."

??Mu Xiang filled the glass with wine, drank it all in one gulp, and his tone was no longer as harsh as before: "I know, without your words back then, my life would not be so good."

?? Born in the royal family, naturally there is no family affection at all.

??Mu Huaihe prefers the eldest son, and Mu Yu's biological mother is said to have died because of Mu Xiang's mother. Although there is no factual statement, but Mu Xiang checked this matter later, it is indeed his mother who contributed to the flames.

??So even if Shi He didn't say anything at the beginning, he and Mu Yu couldn't be brothers and sisters. They would either fight against each other, or one would be silent and not argue about anything. Maybe it would be better.

??Mu Xiang doesn't drink well, and after a few drinks, he became slightly tipsy: "The national teacher may not know that the side hall where Gu lived was very close to the Hall of Heavenly Secrets. In the days when no one talked to him in those few years, Gu always listened to it." spent the time listening to the sound of the piano from the Palace of Heavenly Mysteries."

?? Shi Hedan said: "Then the luthier is still in the Palace of Heavenly Secrets, if His Highness likes—"

??He paused slightly, and was interrupted by Mu Xiang before he finished speaking: "I don't like it. It's not the sound of the piano that I love, it's—"

??Mu Xiang was taken aback suddenly, startled by the resentment he was filled with and the words he was about to blurt out.

?? It's not the sound of the piano that loves you alone, but you.

?? He stared at his trembling hands in a daze. The unreasonable sorrow and comfort these days suddenly had a source.

??Because of love, I want Shi He to stay in Weiyang Palace with me all my life.

??Because I love him, I don't want anyone to get close to Shi He or touch Shi He, but I am greedy for his temperature.

?? His heart is not only Daxiang's national teacher, but also a man.

?? There seemed to be turbulent waves in his heart, but he was not that surprised. Everything had been answered long ago, but he kept keeping himself in the dark forcibly.

?? Shi He's voice woke him up: "If Your Highness feels unwell—"

??Shi He took the second half of his sentence back after seeing Mu Xiang swallow a glass of strong wine in a hurry and coughed violently. He got up and came to Mu Xiang's side and patted Mu Xiang on the back to help him calm down: "Your Highness, why don't you slow down?" some drink."

??Mu Xiang's face turned pale, and his whole body was tense. He felt that the road ahead was bleak and he didn't know what to do.

??He likes a man who is about to leave.

?? What is he going to do?

??Mu Xiang knew very well that he couldn't keep Shi He.

??During the time we got along these days, he was more or less aware that Shi He didn't care so much about Mu Yu's life or death.

??When the only bargaining chip lost its weight, Mu Xiang didn't know what he would use to keep Shi He.

?? "Drinking wine should be more enjoyable." Mu Xiang pretended to avoid Shi He's hand inadvertently, "Come again."

?? After the wine went round after round, the jar quickly bottomed out.

?? Shi He got drunk faster than Mu Xiang, and leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed.But Mu Xiang drank more and more sober, getting closer and closer to Shi He.

??The cool evening wind blew in through the window, lifting a few strands of Shi He's hair.

??Mu Xiang carefully stretched out his hand and pushed aside Shi He's lapel, wanting to see the situation where he was bitten by him - it was still shocking, the teeth marks were very clear, bruised and purple, and the wound had not fully healed.

??He looked at it intently, and carefully described every inch of Shi He's face, from the eyebrows to the bridge of the nose, to the thin red lips...

??In those beautiful dreams at night, the face of the other person who was entangled with him suddenly became clear, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

??It turns out that the body gave the answer first.

??As if being bewitched, Mu Xiang slowly leaned over and approached Shi He, and didn't stop until he could smell the other's breathing lighter than usual...

?? But Shi He had opened his eyes at some point, and avoided his kiss slightly.

??Mu Xiang missed and touched Shi He's earlobe.

?? "Your Highness is drunk."

??Mu Xiang stared blankly at Shi He getting up, and poured him a cup of tea.

?? The night wind blowing by the window woke him up completely, and completely extinguished the heat in his heart.

??crazy.

?? too ridiculous.

??Mu Xiang closed her eyes and drank the tea.

?? That bloody dream in the afternoon may also be a prophecy.

?? Some people and things should not be forced after all, otherwise you will only end up with an unsatisfactory end.

??Shi He supported the chair slightly: "If Your Highness is tired——"

??Mu Xiang interrupted him: "Go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation alone."

??Mu Xiang turned his back and said: "Mr. Gu has to get used to the days and nights when the national teacher is not around. After all, it will be like this every night in the future."

?? A slight sigh came from behind: "Your Highness—"

?? "I know that the National Teacher is concerned about the people and the country, and this departure may be related to the Southern Region..." Mu Xiang breathed out, "Stay for another month."

?? "Just one month, Gu will let you go."

??The author has something to say: here we come.
