After usurping the throne, he died

??Because today is a holiday, so take a day off.

??Mu Xiang carefully selected a set of clothes that looked expensive but still considered ordinary clothes: "How is it?"

??Shang Xi flattered: "Your Majesty is imposing, and you can tell that you have an extraordinary status."

??Mu Xiang frowned. He wanted to look like an ordinary person, but there were no more suitable clothes. His clothes were mostly black, but they were also embroidered with golden dragons or golden cranes. It is a symbol of imperial power.

??Mu Xiang didn't wear a crown today, but just randomly found a ribbon to tie the upper half of her hair behind her back.

?? Shang Xi hesitated: "Your Majesty, this is..."

??Mu Xiang said calmly: "Gu will leave the palace today, so you don't have to follow."

??Shang Xi responded: "Then His Majesty should bring more people..."

??Mu Xiang: "It is enough to have hidden guards."

??When he came to Weiyang Palace, Shi He obviously paused for a second: "What is Your Highness here for?"

??Mu Xiang turned a corner when he spoke: "Come practice calligraphy."

?? Shang Xi: "..."

??You just said that!

??Mu Xiang found that today Shi He didn't read the book anymore, but was writing something. He subconsciously read it out: "You were born and I was not born..."

??Shi He: "Yes."

??Mu Xiang's face was pale, and his fingertips couldn't help trembling without him noticing it. He tried his best to restrain himself: "Why did the national teacher write this?"

??Shi He shook his head, his tone was flat: "I just suddenly remembered this sentence."

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Shang Xi asked worriedly, and Shi He also looked at Mu Xiang after hearing this.

??Mu Xiang couldn't hear the surrounding voices clearly, his mind was in a fog, and he kept revolving around the sentence on the paper just now, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

??His emotions are full of restraint, resentment, pain, and unwillingness. He must—what must he want?

?? "Your Highness?"

??The familiar voice awakened Mu Xiang from his daze. He reached out and touched the cold sweat on his neck, and said weakly, "I want to take a break."

??"it is good."

??Shi He let Mu Xiang lie on the couch, and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse: "When did Your Highness take a rest these days?"

"...Third watch." Mu Xiang felt a little guilty.

"Shang Xi?" Shi He glanced at him, and asked Shang Xi's name without looking back.

"Master Huiguo, it's the fourth watch." Shang Xi lowered his head and did not meet Mu Xiang's eyes.

?? "..."

??Mu Xiang gritted his teeth, but he didn't have time to pursue Shang Xi's traitorous behavior, thinking of what to say to make Shi He not angry.

??Although Shi He was still calm and calm as usual, Mu Xiang somehow felt that he was angry.

"Actually, I'm alone..." Mu Xiang looked at her wrist that was still being held by Shi He, and simply told the truth, "Weiyang Palace is always silent... Today is the Zhixiang Festival, I want to take you out of the palace for a walk .”

?? "..." Shi He let go of him, "Your Highness has a heart, but His Highness is weak and weak, so you shouldn't indulge yourself like this."

??"knew."

??In the end they went out smoothly. Shang Xi stood in place and saw them off, sighing at their backs. Sure enough, only the national teacher can cure His Majesty.

??It's a pity how long can the master of the Weiyang Palace stay?

??It is impossible for His Majesty not to marry a concubine forever. One day, this Weiyang Palace will be occupied by someone else.

?? A strange idea came to Shang Xi's mind, and suddenly he felt that this is not a bad idea, nothing else, no empress and concubine, just the National Teacher and His Majesty, this is also a good idea.

??————

??The imperial city is already bustling and bustling on weekdays, and the festival is even better than usual.

??Mu Xiang was dressed in black, and Shi He was dressed in white, which complemented each other perfectly.

?? "Has breakfast been available, Your Highness?"

??"Ok……"

??Shi He stopped and glanced at Mu Xiang: "As the emperor, His Highness speaks out everything..."

??Mu Xiang quickly interrupted Shi He: "I ate a little."

?? Breakfast was served, but Mu Xiang's thoughts were half in the lingering dream last night, and half in taking Shihe out on a trip today, so he just ate two very picky bites and then put down his chopsticks and left. People were terrified when they learned about it, thinking that there was something wrong with today's dishes that caused Xindi's dissatisfaction, for fear of losing his head.

?? So I ate it, but not completely.

??Shi He ordered two bowls of wontons from the owner of the small shop next to him, and the owner invited them to sit down: "You two came to my place for breakfast, you are right! Don't look at me as shabby, but it's absolutely clean and delicious!"

??Shi He said again: "Don't bother with chopped green onion."

??The boss responded: "Good."

?? After pouring a cup of tea for the two of them, I went to work. There are indeed many customers in this shop, and there are also some well-dressed dignitaries. It seems that the taste is really good.

??Mu Xiang was a little surprised by Shi He's move of not wanting chopped green onion. He had to think that the other party said that because of himself.

?? After all, Shihe has few taboos in his daily meals, and he can basically eat one or two.

??Shi He took a sip of tea: "What?"

??Mu Xiang shook her head: "Nothing."

?? He looked at the busy street with people coming and going. There were hawkers yelling everywhere, and some people walked to hawk with lanterns.

?? He rarely had the opportunity to look directly at this imperial city. He was locked up in his mother's stepmother's house since he was a child, and he couldn't get out. Later, he was taken back to the palace, and it was even more difficult to get out of the palace.

??The warmth and excitement of the world have nothing to do with him. He spent spring and autumn alone in the high wall, accompanied only by weeds and yellow birds.

?? "They are all His Highness's subjects."

?? Shi He's voice came from next to his ear, and Mu Xiang was stunned for a while, before he met Master He's gaze: "Don't call me Your Highness when you are outside, call me——"

??Mu Xiang stopped talking, really didn't know what to call Shi He.

?? If Shi He no longer calls him His Highness, then he can no longer be called Shi He Guoshi. In this way, he doesn't mind Shi He calling him by his first name, but he doesn't know how to address Shi He.

??Mu Xiang silently recited his name in his heart. He had obviously called him before, but at this moment he still felt an indescribable sense of immorality.

?? He suppressed the unspeakable weird emotions in his heart, and said to Shi He: "You can call it whatever you want, but since it is hidden in the city, it is inconvenient to be too public."

??The wontons are served quickly, and the soup is also rich in aroma. It is a bit monotonous without the embellishment of green onions, but it does not affect the taste.

??The skin of the wonton is thin, and the meat is just right. It will melt in the mouth within a few seconds.

?? This meal has a good appetite for Mu Xiang, and the pasta that he doesn't like to eat on weekdays has become delicious, maybe it's just because of Shi He's sentence "don't add chopped green onion".

??The Gardenia Fragrance Festival in the daytime is not much different from the usual days, but you can see many women who don’t go out often walking on the street with their daughters, or the daughters of a certain family walking together arm in arm. Look left and right, buy some rouge and jewelry.

??Mu Xiang and Shi He are very eye-catching when they walk together. One is because of their extraordinary appearance, and the other is because of Shi He's temperament.

?? Hearing the laughter and discussion of those girls, Mu Xiang frowned uncomfortably.

?? "Let's go over there."

??Mu Xiang pointed to a street with a little less traffic. After seeing those shy and timid eyes, he finally felt a little relieved.

?? There are mostly inns and shops on this road. Mu Xiang was attracted by a cage of rabbits. The rabbit had gray-gold hair and looked extremely expensive and beautiful.

?? "What breed is this?" Mu Xiang had never seen it before.

?? "The Jinchen Rabbit of the Qing Kingdom." Shi He replied, "It is cleaner than ordinary rabbits and has no peculiar smell."

??So many dignitaries or rich girls like to keep it around as a pet. In the past, Mu Yu bought one and gave it to Chang Qing, but it disappeared in that palace change.

??Mu Xiang suddenly said: "Does the national teacher feel lonely in Weiyang Palace?"

??Shi He: "..."

??Mu Xiang didn't change his face: "Why don't you take it back to be your companion."

?? After he told the boss that he wanted this rabbit, he realized that he didn't bring any money to go out.

??Shi He glanced at him wordlessly, then took out a gift bag, and took out a silver ticket from it.

??Mu Xiang: "..."

??He suddenly remembered what he had just eaten: "Wonton..."

??Shi He: "Paid."

??Mu Xiang left after eating, not thinking about paying the money at all.

??Although the process is different from what Mu Xiang imagined, the rabbit was bought after all, but it cannot be counted as a gift from him to Shi He. It can only be said that Shi He bought it himself.

??Shi He said: "Go find an inn first."

??Mu Xiang didn't understand why he was looking for the inn, so Shi He glanced at the rabbit in his hand: "His Highness wants to carry it all the time?"

??Mu Xiang lowered her head and looked at the rabbit, then shook her head subconsciously: "That's just right, let's rest outside the palace tonight...the gate of the palace is closed early."

??Shi He hummed, and walked into the overcrowded inn: "Come to two upper rooms."

?? Xiao Er rushed up to greet him: "Ouch! I'm really sorry for the two guest officers, we have no room here."

??Mu Xiang glanced at the store, there were indeed a lot of people, and with the Gardenia Fragrance Festival being such a day, they might have been booked in advance.

?? They found two more, without exception, the same result.

?? When we arrived at the fourth hotel, we happened to meet a guest checking out, so a room was vacated.

??Mu Xiang asked: "There is only one room?"

"There's only one room." Xiao Er bent down and said that he knew that he couldn't afford to offend people by looking at their clothes, "You two guests may as well make it up, everyone is celebrating the holidays today, and the rooms have been booked in advance, the two of you are going to another house I guess so too."

"Yes." Shi He said concisely, and directly gave the money.

?? "..." Since Shi He had no objection, Mu Xiang was naturally unwilling.

??Speaking of which, in the past, there was no such thing as advance booking of inns in Xiangguo. It was the plan proposed by the former prince Mu Yu to a business friend who went to Jiangnan for some time.

??Later, once it was implemented, it was found to be really good. It was gradually extended to various industries, and the capital city also began to follow suit.

??This inn has a good environment. It is backed by the Jinghe River, and there are green weeping willows on the bank. There is an old gardenia tree very close to the window, and the trees are full of white gardenias. , The fragrance floated in along the window, very strong.

??Mu Xiang was just about to close the window when he heard a row of children skipping past outside the window, singing in a clear and lively voice: "Your birth, I was not born—"

??Mu Xiang froze in place immediately.

?? The child's light voice continued: "My Lord is old——"

?? "You hate me for being late—"

?? "I hate that you were born early——"

?? "I hate that you were born early——"

??Having a splitting headache, Mu Xiang suddenly felt violent in his heart. He clutched the wooden window tightly, and his heart ached so much that he pulled together...

?? A body temperature suddenly approached, he pulled his hand away from the window sill, and then closed the window.

??The singing of children and the fragrance of gardenia are isolated together, getting farther and farther away, more and more unreal...

??It's like walking in the fog, not knowing where you are, and not knowing the way ahead.
