Mirror of the Sky

When Luo Mu woke up, he opened his eyes and saw the inner side of the inner bed, and he was lying on the inner side wrapped in a quilt, with a pair of hands embroidered with dragon patterns on his sleeves passing through his waist, hugging him tightly from behind, The warm chest pressed against his back, and the continuous warmth and familiar breath came, and Luo Mu's eyes turned red, and he almost cried.

"Are you awake?" Luo Mu's breath choked, and the people behind him noticed it, and wrapped his arms around Luo Mu tightly, and his warm breath hit his ear, "You've lost weight again."

"Your Majesty..." Luo Mu felt that Zhou Tang's tone had changed a lot since he hadn't seen him for more than half a month.

"Just now I saw that you were sleeping cold, so I hugged you to sleep for a while." Zhou Tang explained, then reached into the quilt to hold Luo Mu's hand, "It's warmer."

Luo Mu's fingertips couldn't help trembling, but they were held tightly by a pair of warm hands. This kind of temperature made him, a dying person, so nostalgic.

But he can't.

Sensing Luo Mu's resistance, Zhou Tang let go of his hands and embrace.

Luo Mu felt a chill behind him, and then another quilt that had been warmed by Zhou Tang's pillow just now covered Luo Mu's body.

Zhou Tang rolled over and got off the bed, Luo Mu hurriedly turned around, Zhou Tang sat on the side of the bed, and pressed the quilt for Luo Mu, "Sleep for a while?"

Luo Mu buried his chin in the quilt and shook his head.He felt that he and Zhou Tang were really the opposite.In the past, he was the one who coaxed Zhou Tang to sleep.

Thinking of the past, Luo Mu couldn't help but curved his lips and smiled, with a bit of helplessness and self-deprecation.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Tang asked him.

"I used to coax His Majesty to sleep."

Zhou Tang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Yes, my Master Guoshi is living more and more, just like a child."

Hearing Zhou Tang's teasing words, Luo Mu felt that he should refute instead of blushing like now.

Luo Mu buried his head and hid in the quilt. Zhou Tang really changed a lot in the past half month. The youthful look in his eyebrows and eyes has disappeared, and his tone of speech has also changed. It seems that he has matured a lot suddenly. , actually a bit like his elder brother Luo Xiao.

He has been the treasure of his father and brother since he was a child.His mother died young, and his father and elder brother doted on him very much. When he was first sent away from Zhoudu, he felt that the sky was falling.

Later, he gradually got used to it, and later, his father and brother died one after another, he forced himself to bear it, shoulder it, and even become another person's reliance, until he got revenge, he forgot that he also likes to be pampered.

Zhou Tang didn't know about Luo Mu's childhood.

He thought a lot in the past half month, and gradually saw through his own heart, and gradually made plans.He wanted to treat Master National Teacher well, just like Master National Teacher treated him in the past, but he had to carefully grasp the measure and use the method that Master National Teacher was willing to accept.

If Zhou Tang knew, just for a moment, Luo Mu regarded him as his elder brother Luo Xiao, so he didn't know how he would feel.

Luo Mu suppressed the blushing on his face, and got out from under the quilt.

"Why did you fall asleep alone outside?" Zhou Tang didn't continue to tease him, but cared about his body, "Didn't you agree? If you are still so sleepy, I think you need to find someone to watch you."

"Since the energy is low, it doesn't matter if you don't come to the platform to be on duty. If necessary, let them go to the National Teacher's Mansion."

Hearing this, Luo Mu felt cold. The confession of his heart half a month ago seemed like a wrong dream. He didn't see Zhou Tang, and Zhou Tang never looked for him. There is no reason.Those two people were really strangers.

However, isn't this the result he wanted?Why do you still pretend to come to the platform every day, look at the East Palace in the north every day, think about the past every day, look forward to seeing each other again...

Because it's really... time is running out, once you see each other, you will lose one side.

Seeing that Luo Mu's face turned pale, Zhou Tang became even more worried: "I'll announce that the imperial physician is here to diagnose your pulse, huh?"

Luo Mu shook his head, propped himself up and sat up, lying down all the time, being looked down at by Zhou Tang, coaxing him like a child, his face couldn't stop turning red.

"The imperial doctor is not as good as me." Luo Mu still chose to hide it, "I am indeed in good health, but lethargy and chills are getting back slowly."

Zhou Tang thought about it for a while, and felt that he would not be able to take care of it for a while, so he believed Luo Mu's words, "Then take good care of it. You can prescribe a prescription, and I will send someone to find the medicine."

Luo Mu agreed, drink the medicine as long as it takes, if it can be delayed for a day, Zhou Tang can't be aware of the fact that his life is not long.

"Madame Qi, she..."

"The thing about Baohua..."

There was a moment of silence, the two spoke at the same time, but they mentioned the same thing, both of them were taken aback, Luo Mu said: "Your Majesty, let's talk first."

Zhou Tang thought about his words, and said, "The thing about Baohua is not true."

Luo Mu immediately understood the meaning of Zhou Tang's words.

Luo Mu didn't believe that Zhou Tang Xinyue Princess Baohua.

Not to mention that Zhou Tang expressed his intentions to him half a month ago, even if he was confused for a moment, he would not turn his head and hit Baohua with his thoughts.

Luo Mu probably guessed that this was Zhou Tang killing two birds with one stone.

Luo Mu said: "I know." He sighed again, and looked at Zhou Tang, "Your Majesty has really grown up. In the past, seeing a minister kill a palace servant would scare you into nightmares, but now..."

Luo Mu is testing Zhou Tang and the cause of Baohua's death.

Zhou Tang didn't hide anything, and said bluntly, "I forced her."

"She can't live, but I kept her in the first place, so I can't kill her again."

Speaking of this, Luo Mu confirmed his guess.

Princess Qi is alive, which is a hope and hope for those Qi people who want to restore.For Zhou Guo, it was a hidden danger.

In order to appease the survivors of Qi State, Zhou Tang agreed to Qi Huang's request and left the life of his beloved daughter Baohua. He originally planned to let her "die of illness" in a few years.

Just in time for the selection of concubines, Zhou and Tang put on a good show, no matter whether Princess Baohua is strong-tempered, chaste and unyielding, she can only hang herself, or be "hanged herself".

But Zhou Tang earned a good reputation of being infatuated with the subjugated princess, unable to ask for it, and infatuated with no regrets.By the way, the matter of choosing a concubine was also pushed back.

Luo Mu didn't speak, Zhou Tang asked him: "Do you think I killed it wrong?"

Nine years ago, Luo Mu killed Zhou Tang, the palace servant, and asked the eight-year-old Zhou Tang, "...do you think I killed it wrong?"

Eight-year-old Zhou Tang was frightened, but still shook his head. He trusted his master, and only wanted to be hugged by him. At night, he had a nightmare and had a fever, so he kept watch all night.

Today, nine years later, Luo Mu also shook his head, "Your Majesty is right."

Princess Baohua is indeed a pity.

But when Luo Mu and Zhou Tang decided to take over the Qi State, the end of the Qi royal family was doomed. They had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to cause future troubles, even for the young Princess Baohua.

As for the matter of concubine selection, both of them tacitly agreed not to mention it.

Zhou Tang would not mention it, he chose to attack Baohua at this time, in order to delay the selection of concubine.

Luo Mu would not tell Zhou Tang that he privately persuaded Mr. Liu, who was in charge of concubine selection, to postpone the selection of concubine.

But here, it can't go any further.

Luo Mu prescribed a prescription for himself, which is a nourishing medicine commonly used by ordinary people.Zhou Tang said that he wanted to find the fairy medicine for him, but Luo Mu told him that the fairy medicine would do him more harm than good, but in fact, his life was short of life, and the fairy medicine could not save him.

Zhou Tang really didn't understand these things, and with the lessons learned by Emperor Jing, naturally he believed what Luo Mu said.Even if he had some doubts, seeing Luo Mu's complexion getting better day by day, and touching his warmer and warmer hands, he put his heart back into his stomach.

The matter of concubine selection was put on hold, and the confession that day was also treated by the two as never happening.

Mainly Zhou Tang, he didn't mention the events of the day, and he never said or did anything beyond the rules. He just cared meticulously like before. He occasionally had dinner with Luo Mu, and occasionally tried the warmth of his hands, but never again go one step further.

Just like that, autumn came, winter turned, and it was spring again. The matter of choosing a concubine was brought up again.

Zhou Tang's aunt, Princess Zhenyue, brought her husband's niece Ding Youning into the palace, and had dinner with Zhou Tang.

According to rumors, His Majesty had a very happy conversation with Miss Ding.His Majesty praised Miss Ding's literary talent and gave her wine.And when Miss Ding left the palace with Princess Zhenyue, she was still blushing, unable to hide her shyness.

In the spring of Musheng's eighth year, the prosperous emperor Zhou Tang intended to marry Ding Gelao's granddaughter Ding Youning as his queen.

And this year, Luo Mu was 28 years old, his grandfather was 32 years old, his father was 35 years old, and his elder brother died at 22 years old.In the Luo family lineage, there has never been a man who knows the destiny.

Luo Mu once again asked the hexagram to watch the sky, his future is still hazy, but his lifeline is getting thinner and shorter. If he takes good care of him, he can live for at most three years.

As for Zhou Tang, he was only eighteen, what a age, it was really time to get married this time.

Luo Mu couldn't tell whether he felt more uncomfortable in his heart, or more relieved.

Probably the latter, he even thought that if Zhou Tang got married, he wouldn't have to live for three years.

Maybe... When Zhou Tang has an heir, he can go there with peace of mind.

Hiss... The angina pectoris has been occurring frequently these past few days, and Luo Mu can't tell whether he is physically ill or mentally ill, or both are seriously ill.

Zhou and Tang were the kings of a country, so they would not be confused.

And Luo Mu himself, not to mention older than Zhou Tang, is still a dying person, he himself understands better, he should not be confused, he should not be confused.

Even in my heart, there is always such a sliver of desperate impulse, I am going to die anyway, so what about the reputation behind me, what will later generations say?

But, he can't ruin the reputation of the Luo family, and he can't allow himself to be a stain on Zhou Tang.

What's more, Zhou and Tang obviously let go.Only myself, how can I get deeper and deeper?

It's really getting better and better...

So this time, Luo Mu asked Mr. Liu, who was in charge of selecting concubines, to ask for the portraits, birthdays, and background and family background records of all the women selected for the official family.

If you can still do your part for Zhou Tang, then choose a wife whose status, personality, appearance, and horoscope are the most suitable for him.

This first portrait is Ding Youning, the third miss of the Ding family.Luo Mu looked at her face, but frowned. She was beautiful, but she was mean and unfeeling...

Also, the horoscope for the birth date is not compatible with Zhou and Tang...

However, Zhou Tang seems to have a good impression of her...
