After usurping the throne, he died

Chapter 25

??Mu Xiang left without listening to Shi He's answer, and his back looked a bit bleak and embarrassed.

??He didn't know what Shi He would think of him, and what he would think of the kiss just now when he was drunk.

?? Is Shihe treating him a little differently?Could there be such a slight preference...

??Shang Xi at the door greeted him: "Your Majesty—"

??Mu Xiang waved his hand away: "Go alone."

??The high city wall is the silence piled up with red tiles. I don’t know how many people’s hearts and souls have been imprisoned since ancient times, and how many lives have been ruined.

?? He stepped on the steps and walked to the highest point slowly. The cold evening wind blew on his face, and the black silk floated into the air against his cheeks.

??The night is dark. Looking from here, the lights of all the houses in the capital are also extinguished, falling into endless silence.

??Where is his home?

??Where will become Shihe's home again?

?? For Shi He, in this long and boundless life, I am afraid that there is really nothing to remember, nothing to worry about, so he can leave so simply and without hesitation.

?? As far as Shihe is concerned, he is probably no different from the tens of thousands of people in Daxiang, but he is just one of the insignificant beings.

?? What about the special treatment during this period?

??Mu Xiang leaned on the waist-high wall and looked into the distance in the icy night. The infinite chill in his heart slowly extended to his limbs, freezing him to the point where he didn't know how much it was.

?? How ridiculous.

?? Throughout the ages, he has never heard of a young master who would fall in love with a son, or a scholar who would fall in love with a classmate.

??He is the emperor of Daxiang, but he fell in love with the national teacher of Daxiang. He promised him, worried about his gains and losses, and wanted to keep him by his side forever, and he was not allowed to go anywhere.

??He moved delusions that should not be moved, and they can only be delusions.

??Shi He is not someone he can force. For such a long time, he is very clear about this.

?? But still not reconciled.

?? There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Mu Xiang didn't move and didn't turn his head: "Master Guo Shi seriously regards the guards of my imperial city as nothing."

"Your Highness, don't worry about it." Shi He's voice sounded behind Mu Xiang, "I will never become an enemy of Your Highness."

"...If it was an enemy, I'm afraid Gu would have been decapitated a long time ago." Mu Xiang and Shi He walked to the side and looked sideways, and said, "The national teacher really doesn't understand? Gu Xiang is not only an enemy, but also a I want you to be on Gu's side."

??Shi He paused slightly: "Your Highness is the king, and all the people in Daxiang will stand by His Highness."

"What about the national teacher?" Mu Xiang looked straight into Shi He's eyes, "Are you a citizen of Daxiang?"

??Shi He didn't speak, and Mu Xiang didn't expect his response: "Where does the national teacher plan to go after solving the matter in the Southern Region?"

??Shi He lowered his eyes: "Go where you should go."

??Mu Xiang asked: "Where should I go?"

??Shi He looked at Mu Xiang's slightly red eyes, and sighed again: "Your Highness doesn't need to know this."

??Mu Xiang smiled lowly, with unreasonable self-mockery, turned around and was about to leave.

"There is one more thing to tell Your Highness."

??Mu Xiang stopped walking, waiting for his next words.

?? "Your Highness just said about January, this seat can't handle it." Shi He said slowly, "I need to leave in three days."

"Then let's go."

??Mu Xiang swayed down the stone steps, but he couldn't stop him anyway.

??Where Shi He wants to go and when he wants to leave has never been a matter for him to decide.

?? When I returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was already approaching the fourth watch. Mu Xiang lay on the couch, took out the jade pendant that was slightly warmed by the body temperature around her neck, and looked at it for a long time in the night without feeling sleepy.

?? While the candle was still on, Mu Xiang took out from his bosom the book of words that he had brought along with Shi He, and stroked it lightly.

??The stories in this book are mostly about folk tales and fireworks. With Shi He's personality, he must have liked it for being able to read it for so long.

??Mu Xiang turned to the first page and looked down at each of the short stories. There were heartache, regret, and warmth, describing all kinds of situations in the world.

?? One of the stories about a woman's infatuation made Mu Xiang look sideways for a long time. It was about a son of a family who was pressured by his family to marry a woman he didn't like. So on his wedding day, his real sweetheart was lying on the crooked neck by the river. The tree was going to be hanged, but it was actually a little tricky. The woman deliberately chose to be in a crowded outer street, just to let the aristocratic family get the news and stop getting married.

?? Although it was a disguised form of coercion, the young master of the family was really hurt when he heard the news. At this moment, his beloved was already in the air, and the young master of the noble family rushed out to save him regardless of the obstruction of his family and parents. The two embraced and cried bitterly .

??After this incident, the young master of the aristocratic family came to his senses and decided to fight the family to the end.If necessary, he is willing to give up all power, just to be with the one he loves.

??Mu Xiang didn't want to continue reading, so he casually put the script aside.

?? This woman is lucky after all. If the other party doesn't love her, all kinds of coercion will only become a gamble with no chance of winning, just like him.

?? Threatening Shi He with Mu Yu several times before, is it not a bluff?

??Mu Xiang turned his body sideways and was reluctant to put down the jade pendant, but this time it seemed that the jade pendant didn't work either. He still couldn't go to meet Duke Zhou, and kept his eyes open until dawn.

??The feeling of being hungover and sleepless is not good, and the whole person feels a little numb in a trance.

??Suddenly heard some movement in the ear, Mu Xiang's face paused slightly, turned over and was about to get up and restrain the person who was about to approach the bed. When the dagger reached the back of the other's neck, Mu Xiang realized it was Shi He.

??He barely stopped the dagger's stabbing, his voice was hoarse and anxious: "What are you crazy about! Gudu let you go, why bother to entangle you?"

??Shi He didn't intend to resist and restrain him just now. Once he failed to hold the dagger, he really stabbed in.

"Come and call Your Highness to drink the medicine." Mu Xiang found out that Shi He was holding a bowl of medicinal food in his hand.

"...Gu don't drink." Mu Xiang frowned and turned his head away, and slowly sat back on the couch, "Hurry up if you want to leave, if you are late, Gu will really vent his anger on Mu Yu."

"Your Highness, don't be willful."

??Shi He suddenly stroked Mu Xiang's shoulder, and Mu Xiang was stunned. The warm touch of the obscene clothes made him forget to resist, so without checking for a while, he was directly fixed and unable to move.

??He glared at Shi He, but Shi He didn't care, sat in front of him and clasped his chin, and fed the medicinal food into his mouth spoon by spoon. Since he couldn't swallow it on his own, part of the medicinal food flowed out from his mouth, and he couldn't bear it. They were picked up one by one by Shi He with handkerchiefs.

?? "Things happened suddenly, there are changes in the Southern Region, and I need to leave today."

??Mu Xiang's heart trembled, but she couldn't speak.

??Shi He lowered his head and blew the hot medicinal food, and put it into Mu Xiang's mouth again: "The Prime Minister will not embarrass Your Highness too much in the future. Other Highnesses should have their own ways to deal with it. As for Mu Yu..."

??Shi He wiped the medicine stain on the corner of Mu Xiang's mouth: "If you really don't like it, then kill it."

??Mu Xiang was a little shocked, she didn't expect Shi He to say that.

?? "Your Highness wants the throne, and now that you have it, then sit down and be a prosperous king."

??…

??Mu Xiang wanted to talk, but he couldn't say anything. He could only listen to Shi He's parting words.

?? I don't know if it's an illusion, but he felt that there was a faint smell of rust in the medicinal food, which was more difficult to eat than before.

??Shi He said: "Before I asked His Highness to take a medicinal bath, if you really don't like it, forget it. It's okay not to take it. Your Highness will live a long life."

?? It was the first time Mu Xiang heard Shi He say so many words on his own initiative, but his tone was still calm and flat, as if everything was said casually.

?? "I have asked Shen Yuyi to take care of Mr. Chen's matter. Your Highness does not need to go if you have nothing to do."

What Shi He didn't say was that besides asking Shen Zhuomo to help exorcise the Gu according to his method, he also told him to kill Chen Ke directly if the exorcism failed three days later.

?? This matter should have been told Mu Xiang to send someone to do it, but in the end he changed his mind.

?? "Don't be afraid to meet again this time, Your Highness cherishes it." Shi He got up and put down the empty bowl.

??Mu Xiang moved her lips with difficulty.

?? Seeing Mu Xiang's eyes, Shi He stopped in his tracks and went back to unlock his acupuncture points: "What does Your Highness want to say?"

??Mu Xiang originally wanted to say that he would have another breakfast with Gu, but in the end he changed his words: "Gu's leg is numb."

??Shi He: "..."

??Mu Xiang actually saw a trace of helplessness in Shi He's eyes. After hearing this, Shi He sat back on the bedside and rubbed his legs lightly.

??Mu Xiang's heart trembled, it's still different.

?? If Shi Heruo really didn't care, why would he...

?? "What is the medicine you just drank?"

?? "The Gu in the hall □□ has not been completely expelled."

??Mu Xiang stared at Shi He intently, not believing his words at all.But he couldn't get an answer from Shi He, so he could only give up.

??Shi He thought for a while, and took out a green hairpin from his bosom: "This is the hairpin that appeared beside me for some reason on the day His Highness was born, so I left it for His Highness to think about."

?? When Mu Xiang touched the green hairpin, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he slapped Shi He's hand away forcefully: "Don't!"

??Shi He was slightly stunned, as if he hadn't reacted, the green hairpin fell on the ground where he didn't want it, and made a snap.

??He didn't say anything more: "If His Highness doesn't like it, just throw it away."

??Mu Xiang didn't look at the green hairpin on the ground, it was exactly the same as the one in his previous dream.

??The image of Shi He holding the heart in one hand and the green hairpin in the other lingered in his mind, haunting him like a nightmare.

??The thing in the dream really appeared in front of my eyes, does that mean that the thing in the dream will actually happen someday in the future?

??The startled Mu Xiang didn't notice Shi He's trembling hands, nor his movements, so he didn't react when he was dizzy.

??Seeing that Mu Xiang closed his eyes, Shi He finally frowned slightly, and the wide sleeve robe slid down a little, revealing a wound wrapped in a cloth strip. Blood had already seeped out through the cloth strip and slipped into his palm.

?? The sticky liquid is unpleasant, and besides that, there are still faint white lines around his skin, revealing a holy weirdness.

??Shi He helped Mu Xiang tuck up the quilt and stood up. He glanced at the green hairpin on the ground, but didn't pick it up.

??He stared at Mu Xiang's sleeping face for a long time, didn't stay any longer, turned and left.

?? He left the capital alone without taking anyone with him. After entering the official path, he turned his head and looked at the imperial city from afar.

??At first I didn't know why I came here, but now I know why I left.

??————

?? "You haven't told me why you died in the end?" Zhu Chunrong poured a glass of water for an old Taoist who suddenly visited, and listened to him tell the unfinished story.

?? "If a person with a spirit can interfere with the affairs of the mundane world, shouldn't it be messed up?" The old Taoist drank a glass of water with a smile, "Everything in the world cannot escape the word cause and effect, and there is always a price to be paid for changing the fate and the fate of the country randomly. .”

?? "Nevermind." Zhu Chunrong disapproved, "Is it true what you said before that Jiang Nianqing and Jiang Zhixiao are actually the same person?"

The old man glared at Zhu Chunrong angrily: "What, I can still lie to you, a junior? These two old men are clearly one, and they are both men."

??Zhu Chunrong was shocked and said: "The Yadi really married his general to be the queen? This is too, too..."

?? He couldn't take it for granted for a while.The truth is always shocking. If it is as the old Taoist said, General Jiang Nianqing faked his death at the beginning. Afterwards, he disguised himself as a woman, changed his name to Jiang Zhixiao, and became the master of the harem.

??The old man said leisurely: "It's all about love, why not?"

"But, two men..." Zhu Chunrong was powerless to refute, and said again, "Then the late emperor is not of royal blood?"

"Nonsense." The old man rolled his eyes, "Do you think you might have a son?"

??In this way, the first emperor Mu Huaihe was either a relative or a descendant selected from among his courtiers.

??Zhu Chunrong: "Then today's sage is not of the Yadi blood..."

??He suddenly remembered the matter of entering the palace to face the saint yesterday, and sighed, "Old man, let me tell you, the current saint is not a thing in the pool. It is the first time I have seen a person with so many merits."

??The old man became interested: "Show me?"

?? "..." Zhu Chunrong said angrily, "That's the current Holy Majesty, the one you can see if you want?"

??—

?? At three poles in the sun, today's Holy One finally woke up slowly from the couch.

??The author has something to say: (Random 33 in the comment area are late with a red envelope. I have something to do today. I estimate that I will be home after ten o'clock in the evening. It will not be updated until early in the morning.)
