After usurping the throne, he died

?? After Mu Xiang finished speaking, she regretted it. She turned around with potted plants, calligraphy and paintings and wanted to leave.

??Shi He's voice came from behind: "This is the imperial city, Your Highness is the emperor, and everything here belongs to His Highness, how can you say it?"

??Mu Xiang's footsteps paused, and then he quickened his pace. His back was in a hurry, as if he was running away.

?? Shang Xi, who was waiting outside the hall, was taken aback when he saw him: "Your Majesty, you..."

?? Mu Xiang quickly threw the potted plant to Shang Xi: "Go back to the palace!"

??Shang Xi followed behind Mu Xiang without knowing why, guessing that this is the Master of the State Teacher who made His Majesty angry again?Otherwise, why such a posture?

??He looked at Mu Xiang's red earlobe and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is Weiyang Palace getting hotter?"

"...No, it's not hot." Mu Xiang turned around and took the potted plant from Shang Xi's hand, "I'll serve it myself."

"...here."

??Speaking of which, Gardenia Fragrance Festival is only two days away.

??This is an annual festival in Xiangguo. Because Yadi and his wife used gardenias to express their love on this day, Yadi established it as a traditional festival. Although it has a history of less than a hundred years, the Gardenia Festival It is very popular among the common people.

?? Even girls who seldom go out on weekdays will come out to enjoy the moon, lanterns and flowers.

??Thinking of this, Mu Xiang said to Shang Xi who was beside him: "You send someone to tell the national teacher, and you won't be able to go there alone for dinner."

??Shang Xi: "Here."

?? "Let the imperial dining room serve an extra serving of hibiscus chicken slices to Weiyang Palace." Mu Xiang felt that Shi He should still like this dish, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten it all when he used to serve it.

"Here." Shang Xi silently responded.

"Prepare another braised mullet egg." Mu Xiang thought about the dishes favored by Shi He in his mind, "The rest will be as usual."

"...here."

??Since the sun began to fall, Mu Xiang has been grading papers in the imperial study room, and has not stopped until the evening.

??The sun was about to set, and finally Shang Xi couldn't stand it any longer. He walked to the desk and took over the work of the little eunuch studying ink: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

"Don't eat it yet." Mu Xiang tilted his head and glanced at the inkstone, "You are not as good as the national teacher."

??Shang Xi: "...Then naturally, you are the only one in the world who can let the Master of the National Teacher study ink for him."

?? He was clear in his heart. Although he didn't follow into Weiyang Palace today, what did Mu Xiang do?It's to practice calligraphy.

?? But there are no maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace, and Mu Xiang didn't bring anyone with him, so they are not the only ones who study ink themselves.

??Unexpectedly, these words not only didn't make Mu Xiang happy, but made him darken. Only then did Shang Xi realize that he almost didn't slap himself.

?? He apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't need to mind the teacher-student relationship between the former crown prince and the national teacher. If you want to tell me, the national teacher is much gentler to your majesty than the former prince. The former prince should not have the national teacher himself." It is an honor for him to study ink, after all, how can a teacher study ink for students?"

"Slick tongue." Mu Xiang snorted coldly, "According to what you said, what does the national teacher think of Gu?"

??Shang Xi pondered for a while, trying to figure out what would make Mu Xiang happier: "It's the Lord, and it's also a friend."

??Mu Xiang's mood subtly rose a little because he was a generation taller than Mu Yu out of thin air.

?? But then he was a little bit unwilling for no apparent reason. Are they just friends?

??Mu Xiang paused for a long time, and asked: "Can the dinner from Weiyang Palace be delivered?"

??Shang Xi: "The imperial dining room is already being prepared."

??Mu Xiang opened a notebook, annotated it, put it aside and said, "How is that kid in the secret room?"

"I'm afraid there is something wrong with my spirit." Shang Xi hesitated, "Fear of light."

??Mu Xiang said with great interest: "Is this not enough?"

??Shang Xi couldn't fathom Mu Xiang's thoughts: "I'm afraid I won't last for a few days."

??Mu Xiang smiled, but his voice was very cold: "Then take him to meet the emperor brother."

??…

??In the dark cell, Mu Yu was the same as before, his limbs were firmly bound by iron chains, and he knelt on the round platform rather desolately.

??The cell door was suddenly opened, and Mu Yu's eyelids moved slightly, but she didn't raise her eyes.

??Until he heard a stumbling footstep, he raised his head and saw Chang Qing who was in a trance.

?? He looked at the new emperor behind him like a wild crane with a livid face: "Mu Xiang!"

"Bold!" Shang Xi turned cold one step ahead of Mu Xiang, "You can also call His Majesty directly?"

?? "..." Mu Yu closed her eyes wearily, "What do you want? You can do whatever you want, just let Chang Qing go."

"Gu doesn't want anything." Mu Xiang pinched Chang Qing's chin, "The only use he has for Gu is to make your life unhappy, Brother Huang."

"..." Mu Yu was silent for a while, "Why on earth are you..."

??Why do you hate me so much?

??Mu Xiang understood his unfinished intentions, threw Chang Qing in front of Mu Yu and said: "He has only been in a secret prison for six days, and he has become like this. I have been alone countless times because of the emperor's brother." And being punished by confinement, I also spent so many years in the ghost palace overgrown with weeds."

?? Not long after Mu Xiang was taken back to the palace when he was young, his mother passed away.

??From then on, as long as the crown prince has the slightest condition, whether it is a cold or a cold, Mu Huaihe will punish Mu Xiang first and lock him in a dark room until the crown prince recovers.

??Once the servant forgot, or the other princes played tricks on him. After the prince recovered from his illness, Mu Xiang was still locked in a secluded room, without seeing the sun, and no one brought him any meals. He was hungry for two days.

??Extremely short of water and hunger and unable to perceive light and time, Mu Xiang almost disappeared.

??In the end, he didn't know how he returned to his deserted palace. There was no one around, only the uncooled food on the table, with a strong aroma.

"I don't hate you." Mu Xiang looked down at Mu Yu, "I just hate you."

??Hate everything about Mu Yu, hate all the unfair treatment he suffered because of Mu Yu, hate that person like a banished fairy who will always stand by Mu Yu's side.

??So he wants to take away everything from Mu Yu, and make him miserable for the rest of his life.

?? Mu Yu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "It's normal for you to hate me, but Chang Qing has nothing to do with these grievances, you..."

?? Mu Yu closed her eyes: "Even if you kill him, there is no need to torture him like this."

?? Mu Xiang was surprised that Mu Yu would say that even if you kill him, don't torture him: "Aren't you torturing him to torture you?"

??Mu Yu calmly said: "If you want."

?? At this moment, Mu Xiang somehow feels that Mu Yu and Shi He are somewhat similar, and they are both calm and calm in certain scenes.

??The only difference is that Mu Yu still has weaknesses, but Shi He doesn't.

??Mu Xiang looked at Mu Yu firmly, and suddenly asked, "Has Shi He studied ink for you?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Mu Yu's eyes: "Of course not, there is no reason for a teacher to study ink for students."

?? Mu Xiang suddenly felt happy.

??He didn't investigate whether Mu Yu's words were true or false, but asked someone to lock Chang Qing in the corner of this cell.

?? Although the light in this dungeon is also very dark, it is not without any light. There is a very small window at the top of the outer wall, through which light can penetrate.

?? Before Mu Xiang left, he curled his lower lip to Mu Yu: "You master and servant, talk more heart-to-heart. After all, maybe one day Gu is in a bad mood, and the two of you will disappear."

??Finally out of the oppressive boss, Shang Xi heaved a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, it is now..."

?? "Go to Weiyang Palace."

??Mu Xiang quickened his pace. He didn't like to sit in a sedan chair, so he could only walk to Weiyang Palace on foot.

?? At this time, Shi He should have eaten his meal, Mu Xiang concealed his frustration between his brows, and broke off a branch of gardenia that was in full bloom from the gardenia tree by the roadside.

??But after entering Weiyang Palace, he found that the dinner was still on the table, and Shi He was still sitting in front of the desk, reading the book with downcast eyes, and the cover page was still the same as last time.

??Mu Xiang felt that the dish was getting cold: "Why hasn't the national teacher eaten yet?"

??Shi Hedan said: "Your Highness has used it?"

??Mu Xiang pursed her lips: "I've used it."

?? Shang Xi: "..."

??You came all the way to Weiyang Palace just to tell a lie?

??Shi He's eyes shifted to the gardenia in his hand, and Mu Xiang subconsciously hid it back, and took it out after two seconds: "Gu felt that Weiyang Palace lacked some color, so he folded one and gave it to the country. Let's add some decorations."

??Shi He: "..."

?? Looking around, there is only a vase in front of the desk, and a gardenia has already been inserted.

??Mu Xiang clenched his hands tightly: "There is no place to put the orphan, so I took it back."

??Shi He and the stubborn Mu Xiang exchanged glances, then got up and put the book back on the shelf, stepped forward to take the flowers in Mu Xiang's hand, and replaced the two in the vase on the desk.

?? "Your Highness may wish to have a meal together." Shi He said.

?? "... I have used it alone." He said so, but his body sat down honestly, and he took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks.

??Shi He didn't know whether he really believed that he had eaten it or he didn't plan to expose it. After all, the meal was unusually harmonious and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

??Mu Xiang would order food for Shihe from time to time, and then talk about political affairs. Although he is the emperor, he still has shortcomings in some aspects. Zhezi also has a proper solution.

?? "Your Highness, can you stay in Weiyang Palace tonight?"

"...No." Mu Xiang was very moved, and it was Shi He who took the initiative to speak, but he still chose to resist the temptation when he thought of the Gardenia Fragrance Festival in two days.

"There are still a lot of papers that have not been approved, so I will sleep in the Hall of Mental Cultivation tonight."

?? Shi He didn't hold back either: "If Your Highness is too busy, we can talk about calligraphy practice later."

??Mu Xiang subconsciously refused: "No, I'm busy... It's just that there are more papers today."

??Shi He glanced at Mu Xiang's expression and said indifferently: "If Your Highness does not rest well at night, you can wear the jade on your body, and it will have a miraculous effect."

??Mu Xiang was slightly taken aback, and it took him a while to realize that Shi He was talking about the jade pendant on his body: "How do you know that I have a jade pendant on me?"

?? Shi He didn't answer, but Mu Xiang realized that he must have seen it when Shi He used acupuncture to detoxify himself last time when he was injured by Chang Qing.

?? This jade pendant was the only keepsake that his mother kept with him when he was born, but he didn't really care about it, and keeping it was just a habit.

?? After bathing at night, he will take it off and put it aside, and rarely take it with him.

"I'm leaving first..." Mu Xiang didn't look back, "The national teacher should rest early."

?? "His Royal Highness too."

?? After leaving, Mu Xiang came to his senses—how did Shi He know that the jade pendant had miraculous effects, and also knew that he would take off the jade pendant at night to sleep?
