When Song Zichen saw the pre-term baby in the swaddle, the feelings in his heart were actually a bit complicated - he was born in the royal family, he never had the opportunity to experience the family relationship between father and son, and he didn't know how to face this situation It's not time for children.As for later, in order to help Song Zixuan win over the military court, he ran around and married a new princess, so he didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to the son who always upset him.

Perhaps it was because of his nature that he was used to worrying about taking care of others. During the years when he was too lazy to pay attention to that child, Mu Qiu was always taking care of that child, so the child was closer to Mu Qiu on the contrary.However, once there is a grudge in the heart of a person, everything is wrong, so when he saw all this in his previous life, he felt that it was particularly unpleasant, and he often gave that person a face because of this incident.

"The prince hasn't given a name yet. If Your Highness has the heart, why not give him a baby name, so that everyone in the house can call him easily."

Mu Qiu persuaded in a gentle voice, took the baby from the nanny and showed it to him.In the past few days, the child has grown up, and the pink and jade carvings are really cute. Song Zichen couldn't help feeling a little soft in his heart. He raised his hand to take the child, but he didn't know what was wrong with holding him in his arms. The baby twisted and held his mouth like he was about to cry, which made him panic.

"Your Highness, let me come."

Mu Qiu took the child over, held it skillfully, patted it lightly a few times, and the child in his arms really stretched his brows and eyes, giggling and raised his hand to grab a strand of hair hanging on his shoulder.Song Zichen couldn't help being a little surprised, and moved to his side curiously: "You know everything... I didn't know you could even coax children."

"When I was young, I followed my father in the bodyguard department, and I took care of my uncle's younger siblings."

Mu Qiu responded with a shallow smile, seeing that the eyes of the person beside him were also full of joy and warmth, he felt a little relieved inwardly.Song Zichen refused to see the child these days. He couldn't help but worry that if the prince didn't like him, he would be wronged in the mansion. Now it seems that it was just because he hadn't seen him yet.Father and son are connected, once they see it with their own eyes, how can they really not care about it: "The baby name of the son——Have you thought about it, Your Highness?"

"Let's just call him Yi'er. Don't ask him how promising he is, as long as he can live a happy life."

Song Zichen didn't think much about it, so he said the name from his memory.Mu Qiu thought for a moment when he heard this, nodded, and responded with a smile: "This name is good, and the word Yi also has the meaning of extraordinary, extraordinary, and outstanding. Your Highness's son will never be wrong in the future."

"It's only you who always trust me like this."

Song Zichen's heart moved slightly, looking at the smiling face of the man, he couldn't help sighing in a low voice.It was like this when he was a teenager, he was enlightened late, and his reading and writing skills were mediocre, he would inevitably be taught by his master or father, and he would always be teased and ridiculed by his brothers.Only Mu Qiu always believed that he would be promising, and every time he took the trouble to help him review the homework taught by his master over and over again, and later even taught him in advance.Everyone in the palace said that the Seventh Prince was a late bloomer, but no one knew how much of it was due to that person's unwavering support.

"Your Highness is always trustworthy." Mu Qiu replied with a gentle smile, and was about to say something more, but saw a young servant running over quickly and kneeling outside the door: "Your Highness, there is a message from the palace, Said that the emperor called urgently and told you to go to the palace immediately."

"understood."

Song Zichen responded lightly, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly.He suddenly remembered what would happen after this—the Xiongnu invaded the border, he was ordered to fight against the rebellion, he escaped from death and came back with wounds all over his body, his father was so moved that he proposed him as a prince It was King Cheng, who married a new princess in a glorious manner.

During those days when he was locked in the sky prison, sometimes he couldn't help but think that maybe it was from this time that the eldest brother finally regarded him as a thorn in his side, and wished to get rid of him to relieve his anger.

"Your Highness..."

Mu Qiu returned the child in his arms to the nanny, frowned slightly and looked at him, hesitating to speak.Song Zichen gave him a slight nod, and went out with him to the bedroom: "Don't worry - it should be something to the north, I guess I'm going to lead the soldiers out."

Song Zichen was originally a prince who often practiced in the military camp, and even the county king earned his living in the military camp, so going out to fight a battle is not a big deal.It's just that this time Mu Qiu's expression was not as indifferent as before, but with a seriousness that was almost worried: "If so, can Your Highness take me with you?"

Song Zichen stopped suddenly, looked at the worried person seriously, and then said slowly after a moment of pause: "What's wrong, don't worry?"

Since the day he woke up, Song Zichen had always faintly felt that Mu Qiu seemed to be a little nervous, not only repeatedly adjusting and strengthening the defense of the palace, but also worried about serving his meals himself.At first, he thought that he had just been reborn and was not used to it, so he was a little paranoid, but later he felt a little strange. After all, if he was alerted by the concubine's shock and dystocia, he would not have done it himself——in his memory In Li, that person has always been calm. Although he has always cared about him, it is rare for him to do so.

"Wait for His Highness to come back... If it really is an expedition, I will talk to His Highness in detail."

Mu Qiu pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, then responded softly, and raised his hand to let the man pass by on the way to the bedroom: "Now there is an urgent call from the palace, Your Highness should change clothes as soon as possible, it's better to go to the saint first. "

"Alright." Song Zichen nodded, and didn't ask him any more. After all, no matter when, Mu Qiu would never be against him. It was enough for him to know this, "But—— if you go with me Now, who will guard this palace and the newborn son for me?"

In his memory, Mu Qiu didn't follow him to fight this battle, but in his previous life he didn't want to see him because he was angry, but this time it was because this battle was really dangerous, and he was really worried about Mu Qiu's poison.He knows Mu Qiu's temperament, if he says clearly that this battle is dangerous, even if he orders him to stay in the mansion, he will follow him secretly, so he can only find some other reasons to persuade him to see if it works .

"Everyone in the mansion has been organized neatly, even if there is no one presiding over it, it can operate as usual." Mu Qiu followed him into the door, took out the clothes of the county king, and raised his hand to untie his robe, "My son——Mu Qiu boldly persuaded that the son should not be handed over to the third highness. His highness might as well mention it to the emperor when dealing with it, and then make it a little more embarrassing. After all, the emperor takes pity on his son and will not let him go. Bring the eldest son into the palace to take care of him. Now the emperor is most looking forward to pampering his grandson, not only will he not blame His Highness, but he will gladly agree, and he will definitely remember His Highness's thoughtfulness in his heart."

"Mu Qiu..."

After giving this order, Mu Qiu still didn't feel anything wrong, but Song Zichen felt mixed feelings in his heart.In addition to the many years he missed in his previous life, it has been too long since he has heard Mu Qiu give him such detailed and patient instructions.It's ridiculous that he always felt impatient back then, and always felt that the man was nagging and admonishing him, but after walking past it once and looking back, he realized how deep and thorough the man's mind was. The mind is really not like what an ordinary guard orphan can have.

"I'm talking too much... Your Highness doesn't want to listen, so I just don't say anything."

Mu Qiu only thought that he was still as impatient as before, but she was not annoyed, she just smiled lightly, her tone was still as gentle and indulgent as when she was young.He turned around and took the cumbersome prince's uniform and shook it off, and was about to change it for him, but suddenly the man grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.

"Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu..."

Song Zichen called twice in a low voice, and tightened his arms tightly.He really didn't know how many lifetimes of cultivation he was blessed with, in exchange for such a person who did his best and stayed by his side without complaint or regret.

Since his rebirth, although he was able to know some things in advance, it was always difficult to grasp them firmly. The trance and confusion of the two lives often made him at a loss, as if he was always worried that he would return to that cold room when he woke up. In the dungeon, he watched Mu Qiu collapse in his arms, watched him vomit blood so hard that he couldn't stop, and finally swallowed his last breath quietly in his arms.

If there is any existence that can make him feel at ease, perhaps it is only this person - every time I see the gentle and peaceful light in those eyes, those uneasy and chaotic emotions seem to gradually calm down Come down, but it is precisely because of this reason that he is more and more afraid of losing this only warmth and comfort again.

"I'm so lucky to have you by my side... But the more so, the less I dare to take you to such a dangerous place—the poison on your body has not been cured, and your body is already weak, I—"

"Your Highness..." Mu Qiu suddenly interrupted him, raised his hand and patted him on the back comfortingly, motioned him to let go, and continued to put on the fine attire for him in an orderly manner.Song Zichen stared blankly at the man who leaned over slightly to put on a belt for himself, and wrapped his arms around his body like a shapeless hug.

"Does your Highness know...why do I have to be His Highness's guard?"

Mu Qiu tidied up Song Zichen's clothes, straightened up and looked at him with a gentle tone.Song Zichen was stunned for a moment, but before he could respond, the man smiled lightly and continued: "I want to guard His Highness for the rest of my life—to protect His Highness, Mu Qiu has no lofty ambitions, if I can always be with His Highness side, and I am content.”
