Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

After a long kiss, Jiang Xin's mind went blank.

Xie Ze caressed Jiang Xin's lips for a while, then let him go reluctantly, but he didn't leave completely. Instead, he touched Jiang Xin's nose ambiguously, smiled with his beautiful eyebrows and said, "Why are you so spoiled?"

“…” He wanted to say that he didn’t want to act like a spoiled child, but he couldn’t control himself in his dream.

Jiang Xin wanted to hit his head in frustration, but found that his body was still out of his control. Not only did he not apologize, he even went a step further and made a sign to Xie Ze: [Because I like Your Highness. ]

Jiang Xin: "..." Why is he like this in the dream...

He would never speak to His Highness like that!

However, the prince in the dream seemed to be very pleased with his straightforwardness and frankness. He smiled and rubbed his head, saying gently: "I have a hot spring resort in the suburbs. It happens that I have nothing to do in the next two days. Let's go there together tomorrow.

Taking a dip in the hot springs might help ease the pain in my bones, okay?"

Fortunately, even in the dream, Jiang Xin was still so well-behaved. He naturally happily accepted his highness's invitation and hugged him coquettishly and refused to let go.

Xie Ze chuckled, and couldn't help but reach out to dig out Jiang Xin's head. Before Jiang Xin could react, he leaned over and kissed him again.

"..."

Maybe it's because the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Jiang Xin, who had been kissed once, actually felt accustomed to being suddenly attacked again.

However, this time, Xie Ze did not just kiss Jiang Xin. When Jiang Xin was kissed to the point of being carried away by passion, his hand unconsciously slid to his waist and skillfully untied his belt...

"..." Jiang Xin was so scared that he was choked by Xie Ze's saliva. He quickly leaned against the other's chest, his face full of panic and helplessness.

"How come it's been so many times, but you're still not used to it?" Xie Ze kissed Jiang Xin's eyes with a bit of amusement, then leaned close to his ear and said with a low laugh: "Are you shy about this? When we get to the hot spring resort, we can go into the water..."

"..."

How could the prince in my dream be like this? !

Jiang Xin listened to Xie Ze's whispers with a flushed face, and sat up from the bed in horror and embarrassment, his eyes wide open, gasping for breath, as if he had experienced something extremely terrifying.

It was a dream! He knew it was a dream.

Jiang Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he realized this. He knew that his prince could never be such a hooligan!

But why was everything that happened in the dream so clear that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to?

Even now that he has woken up, he can still remember how soft His Highness' lips were, how steady His Highness's breathing was...

As he thought about it, Jiang Xin unconsciously turned his gaze to Xie Ze beside him.

Perhaps because he hadn't slept for two days, Xie Ze slept so soundly that he was not woken up by the noise of his study partner.

Jiang Xin's gaze involuntarily moved from his Highness's eyes, to his Highness's nose, and finally stopped on his Highness's mouth.

Are His Highness' lips really that soft? Is it really the feeling in his dream?

Jiang Xin couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, and after a while he hurriedly shook his head frantically, wanting to throw away all the thoughts that he dared not and should not have!

At this moment, Xie Ze woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw his study partner frowning and shaking his head like a rattle. He reached out with a somewhat amused hand, fixed the other's head, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xin was startled, looking at Xie Ze's posture. He remembered that in his dream, His Highness held his head like this, and the next action was to lower his head and kiss him...

Fortunately, the prince in reality was still very normal. He didn't do anything strange. He just looked at me with concern.

But such concern made Jiang Xin feel even more guilty. His Highness thought that he was feeling unwell again, but in fact he just desecrated the person he loved most in a dream.

"No, it's okay..." Jiang Xin lowered his head in shame, feeling almost ashamed.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xie Ze subconsciously asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Headache?"

"No, no!" Jiang Xin was even more upset. He quickly grabbed Xie Ze's hand and shook his head to show that he was fine. He whispered, "I just had a nightmare. I was scared."

Yes, it was a nightmare. How could he bully His Highness like this in his dream? This was his nightmare.

At this time, the little companion did not realize who was bullying whom.

Xie Ze's expression turned cold when he heard this, and then he took the person into his arms and comforted him softly: "It's okay, the Jiang family's affairs are over. His Majesty has sent people to thoroughly investigate the evil deeds committed by Fu Xuerong back then. No one will be able to hurt you again, I promise."

After returning from Jiang's house, his Ah Xin fell ill for no apparent reason and was frequently troubled by nightmares. One could easily guess what the content of these nightmares was.

As expected, the couple's legs should be broken, so that Ashin wouldn't be afraid.

Jiang Xin didn't know that his prince had secretly remembered those two people in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to tell them the truth, so he hesitantly responded to Xie Ze's wishes.

He felt that he was a worse companion than before. Not only did he have bad intentions, he also lied to His Highness...

In the following days, Xie Ze continued to take care of Jiang Xin meticulously.

Because he was under house arrest by His Majesty, no one would be so tactless as to come to the palace to find him, so he was happy to accompany Ah Xin to recuperate.

And Jiang Xin...

For seven or eight days in a row, he had dreams that were extremely real to him but that he had never experienced before.

At first, he firmly believed that all this must be a dream.

However, this dream that he recognized was not only real, but it even lasted for several days. It was a continuous and complete experience, as if it had really existed.

It was as if he had once had a period of his life that went in a completely different direction from reality.

The turning point that led to these two different experiences was when he was wrongly accused of stealing Lu Wuliang's jade pendant. That was also the first time he met Xie Ze.

He was thinking, if the prince had not come to the Jiang Mansion to take him away that day, perhaps he would really be like Jiang Xin in his dream, with his legs broken by his father and thrown out of the house in the rain to fend for himself.

However, even if he embarked on such a path, he was still quite lucky. He had the opportunity to meet His Highness, to enter the palace to accompany His Highness, and to have the opportunity...

Jiang Xin was silent. In fact, during these seven days, half of his dreams were about his life with His Highness after he entered the palace. These were scenes that would be harmonized if put on Tomato.

This was the only thing that seemed unreal to him. How could someone as bright and elegant as His Highness become like that? He didn't believe it.

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Ze looked at his study partner, who was shaking his head, frowning, shy, and serious at times, and said with some amusement.

"No, nothing, I just lay down for a long time and felt uncomfortable." Jiang Xin quickly stopped thinking in his mind and explained seriously.

Xie Ze thought about it and said with a smile, "If you feel bored, I happen to have a hot spring resort in the suburbs. It's warmer there than our house and suitable for recuperation. How about we stay there for a few days?"

Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously looked at Xie Ze. After a long while, his frozen brain started to work again.

His Highness had never told him before that there was a hot spring resort in the suburbs.

He didn't know about this, but His Highness had mentioned it to him in his dream. Now, he was not dreaming, and His Highness mentioned it to him again.

This hot spring village, the hot spring village that His Highness told him about in his dream, really exists...

Seeing that Jiang Xin's face looked strange, Xie Ze frowned and was about to ask him something when he was interrupted by Agui who came jogging over.

"My Lord, Your Highness!"

"What's the matter?" Xie Ze paused and glared at Agui with some dissatisfaction.

"..." Ah Gui stood at attention and reported quickly, "Well, the county yamen runners are here. They said that today they will hear the case of Madam Jiang plotting to harm her husband's son. As the victim, if possible, I hope you can go to the court."

Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard this, then nodded: "I'll go and change my clothes, wait a moment."

"I'll go with you." Xie Ze stood up and was about to go back to the house with Jiang Xin to change clothes when he was stopped by Agui.

Facing his own prince's death gaze, Ah Gui's legs were shaking with fear. He gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty: "Well, there was a eunuch following the yamen runner. The eunuch conveyed the emperor's oral order, saying that if your highness dares to disobey the order and leave the mansion without permission, then... you will be sent to the Ministry of Justice for a few days."

Xie Ze: “…”

"Your Highness, please rest at home. I can go alone." Jiang Xin saw this and hurriedly and seriously asked Xie Ze to stay, and he wanted to go alone.

Xie Ze's face darkened, seeing that everyone in the mansion was guarding against him as if he were a thief, especially his Ah Xin who was looking at him fiercely, as if he would be angry if he didn't obey. So he gave up the idea and unhappily stuffed ten guards for his tutor before he reluctantly agreed.

He urgently asked the people in the mansion to prepare a cushion in the carriage for Ah Xin to lie on, and told Ah Fu and Ah Gui to wait by his side at all times. Only then did he send the man to the carriage with some concern.

In the swaying carriage, Jiang Xin opened the curtain and saw his own prince still standing upright at the gate of the palace, looking in his direction.

Thinking of the scenes in his dreams that were mixed with reality, and now recalling some of the details that he had never noticed before, Jiang Xin's heartbeat began to speed up involuntarily.

His Highness is the best person in the world. He would stand up for the weak and help me get justice. He would let me become his study partner out of pity. But...

He would coax me to sleep, feed me porridge, and hold me all the way back to the palace. This was beyond the intimacy of ordinary friends. Could it be that he really had no other thoughts?

"Sir, His Highness is worried about you." Ah Fu was sitting next to Jiang Xin. Naturally, he saw His Highness, who looked like a man waiting for his husband, and he spoke well of his master in front of Jiang Xin without making a sound:

"I have grown up with Your Highness, and I have never seen Your Highness care so much about someone."

“That’s right.” Ah Gui also nodded repeatedly. Thinking that he had been disliked by his master before, he wanted to make up for it and said seriously: “Before Your Highness met the young master, he was always a cold and lonely person. After meeting the young master, he finally became a little more lively.

In my opinion, the young master and our prince are a match made in heaven! They are a perfect match!"

Jiang Xin: "..." If these two people were also His Highness's tacit approval, then His Highness's true appearance and the unspeakable His Highness in the dream seemed to be somewhat similar...

*

With such a conflicted and hidden joy, Jiang Xin brought Afu, Agui and a group of people from the Jiang residence to the court.

It is worth mentioning that the official appointed by the emperor to investigate the case was not from the second prince's lineage, but Zuo Xiangyang, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple who had no connection with any party.

Because the case involved the princess's mother's family and officials from the Ministry of Justice, Zuo Xiangyang followed His Majesty's instructions and did not hold a court hearing.

When Jiang Xin arrived, Fu Xuerong and Xu had already been forced to kneel in the courtroom.

I don’t know if Jiang Zhengchu was embarrassed, so he simply claimed to be sick and didn’t come.

Anyway, he had no idea that Jiang Xin had been rendered mute by Xu. Zuo Xiangyang was a man who was always impartial and said that he had never made a wrong judgment in a case. He was a notoriously tough guy, so he was not worried that this man would wrongly accuse him.

Jiang Daiyu did not show up either. It was unclear whether the Fourth Prince did not allow her to come out, or whether she was like her father and was too embarrassed to come.

Jiang Xingyu and Jiang Liangcai did come, but it was obvious that Jiang Liangcai had tactfully switched sides to his eldest brother's side. When he saw Jiang Xin coming, he greeted him flatteringly: "Brother, you're here."

"Yeah." Jiang Xin nodded. He still remembered that his half-brother helped him block the board on the day of his execution.

Although the two of them didn't have a very good relationship before, he still helped her and he owed her a favor.

Moreover, in that strange dream, he later collapsed in the rain and his life or death was unknown. It was Jiang Liangcai who secretly sent him to the clinic.

Jiang Liangcai was very happy to see that his elder brother was still willing to pay attention to him, and he quickly told Jiang Xin about what had happened at home in the past few days: "Since you reported to the authorities that day, my father has been sick from anger, and my mother..."

Jiang Liangcai paused, then changed his words and said, "Fu Xuerong is being watched by His Highness's men, and can't go anywhere in her room. My father is probably so angry that he beats her up every day to vent his anger, and no one in the mansion dares to stop him.

The wounds you see on her face now were all caused by her father.

I heard that her right leg was broken, but my father gave the order and no one dared to ask for a doctor.

Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard that, and subconsciously looked at Fu Xuerong. He thought to himself, no wonder he felt that there was something wrong with the other party's kneeling posture just now, it turned out that he had a fracture.

Jiang Xingyu just watched Jiang Liangcai run to Jiang Xin and whisper. He knew what he was talking about, and the look in his eyes became more and more sinister and vicious.

He has had a hard time in the academy these days. The common people may not know about the affairs of the Jiang Mansion, but it cannot be hidden from his classmates who have family members serving as officials.

He felt that wherever he went, people were pointing fingers at him and saying he was the son of a vicious woman.

It's all because of this bitch. If it weren't for Jiang Xin, his sister wouldn't have fallen out of favor, his mother wouldn't have been disliked by his father, and he wouldn't have lived like a rat in the gutter, being despised everywhere.

He lives like this, how can Jiang Xin still live so well...
