[Transmigration Book] Refuse to be a mother

At the end of Yong'an 57, the fourth prince Xiao Yun colluded with Prime Minister Pan Xu, Minister of the Ministry of War Wu Ce and other important officials in the court to bully his superiors and give bribes, resulting in excessive arms production. Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed by barbarians. Huang Qiang was furious. Retire from official posts, remember Pan Xu, the veteran of the two dynasties, and not be severely punished. The rest of the officials involved in the case and their family members will be exiled in northern Xinjiang, and will never be allowed to re-enter Beijing.

"Fourth Prince Xiao Yun..." Xiao Shixian stood in front of the throne. He took a deep look at Xiao Yun and said in a deep voice, "His title will be cut, he will be reduced to a commoner, and he will be imprisoned in the ancestral hall. step."

After the words fell, Xiao Shixian clenched his hands tightly behind his back, and his nails almost sank into the flesh.

Those who should be beaten have been beaten, those who should be scolded have been scolded, and they are moved with emotion and reason, but this fourth prince has a rock-solid heart, no matter how intimidating or tempting, he will never let go.

Everyone looked at his straight back and sighed repeatedly in their hearts, even the people who used to secretly ridicule him for being ugly and evil could not say a word.

Xiao Yun raised the corners of his lips, and he bowed deeply to Xiao Shixian, who had his back turned to him, with an unprecedented indifferent expression on his face: "Thank you, father, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Xiao Shixian closed his eyes, and he turned back to the apse, leaving only a bright yellow back, carrying the vicissitudes and exhaustion that Liu Muchen had never seen before.

Xiao Yun knelt on the spot for a long time, all the officials retreated one by one, only a few people remained in the hall.Without Xiao Shixian's order, naturally no one would come up to escort Xiao Yun, in fact, there is no need for that.

His knees were gradually numb, Xiao Yun seemed to have recalled his entire life, he stood up slowly from the ground, staggering on the soles of his feet, at this moment, a hand gently supported him from the side.

Xiao Yun turned his head and saw Xiao Yan looking at him expressionlessly.

"That's rather strange." Xiao Yun chuckled lightly: "In the past, I tripped up my seventh brother, and my seventh brother could still greet me with a smile. Now I'm just a common man, but my seventh brother is more serious."

Xiao Yan said lightly: "Fourth brother ruined my good deed, how can I not be serious?"

Xiao Yun smiled but said nothing, his eyes fell on Liu Muchen, who also looked indifferent, he stared at Xiao Yun motionlessly, as if he wanted to dig out his heart and take a closer look.

Xiao Yun laughed: "In the past, when you saw me, you always looked like a hell of an unlucky person, but now you can look at me a few times, it's really not easy."

Liu Muchen frowned, and was about to say something, when Xiao Yun's expression suddenly changed, his gaze passed Xiao Yan's shoulder, and he cast his eyes quietly into the distance.

Xiao Huan stood on the other side of the Golden Luan Hall, only a few feet away from Xiao Yun, but it seemed that there were thousands of mountains and rivers running through it. The two looked at each other deeply, but neither of them moved an inch.

After a long time, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yun's face with red marks. Liu Muchen was in a trance, feeling that the smile was softer than he had ever seen before.

"Is it worth it?" Liu Muchen couldn't help sighing when he saw Xiao Huan's resolute leaving figure.

Xiao Yun looked at the seemingly endless darkness outside the door, but smiled and said nothing.

"The fourth prince's feat today, I remember in my heart." Pan Xu got up, and there was a hint of madness in his laughter.

Xiao Yun's expression remained unchanged: "The Prime Minister's favorite jewel is still in my hands, I hope you will cherish it."

Pan Xu's face darkened suddenly, but he quickly returned to normal: "This old man is no longer the prime minister. It's a pity that the fourth prince has a deep brotherhood, but this old man's family is unfortunate, and he has such unworthy descendants."

Ge Feng was about to step forward to help Pan Xu, but he paused slightly when he heard this, and finally put his hands on it, and said in a deep voice, "Sun'er can't let those soldiers who died in vain be sorry."

Pan Xu snorted coldly, shook off Ge Feng's hand, and said with angry eyes, "Like a father, like a son!"

Ge Feng froze in place, as if his whole body had been hammered, even the movements of his hands stopped.

Pan Xu turned a blind eye, he adjusted the messy court clothes, as if only the clothes would never betray him.

He moved his steps slowly, his figure staggered, and walked out of the Golden Luan Hall under Ge Feng's complicated gaze. A gust of cold wind blew by, but he insisted on straightening his body to expel the little warmth from his body...

"My lord, Mr. Liu." The inner eunuch turned out from the back hall, seeing Xiao Yan and Liu Muchen still there, he couldn't help showing joy: "The emperor invites you two to the imperial study."

Xiao Yan nodded, and naturally took Liu Muchen's hand. The latter was in a state of confusion, and he still dragged himself to the back hall until the lonely backs of Xiao Yun and Ge Feng disappeared from sight...

For some reason, Liu Muchen felt a tightness in his chest. As soon as he thought about it, he followed his footsteps in vain, his eyes were blurred, and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Xiao Yan helped him in time.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yan frowned, raised his hand to touch Liu Muchen's face, and asked anxiously, "But you're not feeling well?"

Liu Muchen shook his head, and for a moment, the familiar sense of reality returned to his body. He looked at Xiao Yan's deep eyes, and smiled softly: "My lord is the same as me."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a while, and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "There are thousands of faces and complex human natures. I thought that this time I would definitely be able to pull the prince down, but I didn't want to..."

He paused and let out a soft sigh: "The world is unpredictable."

Liu Muchen smiled, he held Xiao Yan's hand, and suddenly there was a rush of enthusiasm in his chest: "The future will be long, with me accompanying the prince, there is no need to worry."

Xiao Yan's heart trembled because of Liu Muchen's sudden promise. He teased, "What? After watching a farewell, my heart was touched, and I decided to cherish my king?"

Liu Muchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he felt that the depression and dullness in his heart were completely dispelled by Xiao Yan's words: "It's as if I didn't cherish the prince before."

Xiao Yan got the advantage and continued to act obediently. He rubbed his head against Liu Muchen's neck, and said vexatiously: "Treasure me and only let me ask for it twice, huh?"

Liu Muchen's face became hot, and he lowered his head and muttered: "You are too fierce...I can't stand it..."

Xiao Yan's eyes darkened suddenly, he stared at Liu Muchen's neck that was exposed, and his lower abdomen was unstoppably hot, wishing he could just pin him down on the ground and play with it.

Liu Muchen was unable to escape from Xiao Yan's scorching eyes. At this moment, the inner prisoner suddenly coughed dryly from the front: "My lord, Mr. Liu, please."

The two came back to their senses, only to find that they had unknowingly walked to the imperial study room. Liu Muchen looked at the palace eunuch who was about to bury his head in his neck outside the door. Neck and face flushed.

Ambergris was burning in the imperial study room as always, and Xiao Shixian sat behind the desk, but in just one night, he seemed to have aged ten years again...

Xiao Shixian put down the battle report that Xiao Yi had just presented in his hand, stared at Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Is your injury okay?"

These words were addressed to Xiao Yan, who was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said: "It's nothing serious, thank you for your concern."

Xiao Shixian saw the doubt in his eyes, and explained: "Ge Feng explained everything before you entered the palace. I wanted to send someone to help you secretly, but when he arrived, the Ministry of Industry was empty."

Liu Muchen couldn't help thinking of the two men in black clothes in front of the engineering department. In this way, they were neither Xiao Yan's people nor from the palace, so where did they come from, and why did they help them?

And Ge Feng, when they left he was clearly being watched by Pan Xu, how could Pan Xu let him into the palace so easily with his old tricks?What happened in the middle?

He was immersed in his own thoughts, completely oblivious to the fact that the two fathers and sons around him were staring at him fixedly. Xiao Shixian was silent for a while, and said, "Although I have managed those people in the Six Departments, your uneasy days have just begun."

Corruption cases have existed in all dynasties, but among those who are officials in the dynasties, few dare to say that they are unrestrained. Xiao Shixian took care of this group, and the rest, apart from trembling and rejoicing, will inevitably point the finger at Liu Muchen.

Liu Muchen had long thought about it, and just laughed off Xiao Shixian's words: "I understand, thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern.

Xiao Shixian was quite helpless, he just felt that Liu Muchen's answer was carved out of the same mold as Xiao Yan's, and both were equally disturbing.

It's just that while he was helpless, he felt inexplicably soft in his heart. He leaned on the dragon chair and looked at the two standing side by side in front of him, a smile gradually appeared in his deep eyes.

"If the queen is alive, seeing this scene, she should be very happy..." Xiao Shixian's voice was very soft, almost being melted into the sound of the rain outside the window: "My country, I still cannot do without you..."

The two looked at each other, not understanding why Xiao Shixian would suddenly feel this way.

"It's almost dawn, go back and rest, just go to court early." He waved his hands, his voice slightly tired.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes, he bowed and said: "I hope the emperor will take good care of the dragon's body, and I will take my leave first."

"My minister retire."

The two of them exited the imperial study room, feeling a little puzzled in their hearts, so what was Xiao Shixian's purpose in calling them here?

He closed his eyes and leaned on the dragon chair for a while, and after a while, Xiao Shixian called softly: "Wang Cheng."

The Chief Internal Supervisor came in at some point, and he stood quietly at the side until he heard Xiao Shixian calling him, then he stepped forward respectfully and waited for orders.

"How many years have you been with me?"

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "I have been with Long Live God since I was seven years old."

"Seven years old..." Xiao Shixian smiled lightly, and suddenly beckoned to him. Wang Cheng understood, and leaned forward with his ear. This gesture was done many times when they were children, but later Xiao Shixian became the emperor, and his behavior could not be the same as before. So casual...

For some reason, Wang Cheng felt his nose suddenly sore.

Xiao Shixian whispered a few words in his ear, Wang Cheng opened his eyes wide, and said in a high voice, "Your Majesty!"

Xiao Shixian frowned slightly, signaling for him to keep quiet, but the latter swallowed the words that were almost blurted out, but suddenly knelt down, suppressing a trace of panic in his voice: "Your Majesty!"

Xiao Shixian smiled disapprovingly: "Why are you so nervous? I'm just in case."

Wang Cheng stared blankly at Xiao Shixian, his eyes turned red unconsciously.

Xiao Shixian rubbed his eyebrows that had been wrinkled all night, got up and said, "I'm going to see the imperial concubine."

Wang Cheng wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and then he looked down. He was still the unflappable chief inspector. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Show Hewei Palace!"

Xiao Yan and Liu Muchen walked to the door, and the latter couldn't help but pause when he heard the voice coming from inside.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Liu Muchen remained silent, looking at Xiao Yan's expression with some hesitation.

Xiao Yan rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Why are you so gentle and slow like a big girl?"

Liu Muchen hated people comparing him to a woman the most in his life, and this trick really worked. He just kept silent for a moment, and then said truthfully: "The emperor has a deep love for the former empress, why are there so many concubines and princes?"

At first he thought it was inappropriate to ask Xiao Yan directly, but he couldn't help blurting it out after being so provoked by him. After asking, he murmured in his heart, for fear of offending Xiao Yan.

However, Xiao Yan was very open-minded about this issue, he smiled casually: "Being an emperor has a thousand things to do, do you think the father wants to marry the concubine De?"

He paused, took the umbrella handed over by the palace man with one hand, put Liu Muchen firmly in his arms with the other hand, and said with a light smile: "Father succeeded to the throne late, and before he met my mother, there were already six princes." , two princesses, they are not much different in age, but I, my eighth brother, ninth brother and tenth brother are far apart in age, do you know why?"

Liu Muchen was silent for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "After the death of the first empress, has the emperor not favored his concubines for a long time?"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, half of his arm was wet by the rain, he smiled lightly and said, "Father has never stayed with any concubine for seven years."

Liu Muchen opened his eyes wide, and Xiao Yan continued: "If it hadn't been for seven years of absence, rumors spread in the court, and the Empress Dowager had no choice but to force the emperor to spread branches and leaves for the royal family, I am afraid that today, I will be the same as the elders of my brothers and sisters." The youngest one..."

Liu Muchen was at a loss for words, and after a while, he said again: "What about the imperial concubine?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Shixian has a good impression of the noble concubine.

The rain curtain was like a natural curtain of water, blurring the road ahead of the two of them into an unknown silhouette. Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with a faint smile, and there was a trace of understanding and tolerance in his voice: "Love does not necessarily mean affection. My third brother may not care much about Father, and Father must also be aware of it, but it's just that after all these years, it's hard to have someone who can see a little right by his side and talk to him, that's all."

Xiao Yan's words were reasonable, but Liu Muchen's ears were not very comfortable. He murmured: "The king has his own choice. If the emperor is a prince or something, even if he sticks to the former queen for the rest of his life, no one will." Take care of him..."

Xiao Yan smiled lightly: "Yes, but since my mother and queen married the father, she must know it well, and she wouldn't care if she thought about it."

But I will care...

Liu Muchen secretly added in his heart, he took a deep look at Xiao Yan, but he didn't say it out of his mouth after all...
