Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Xie Ze still felt a little regretful that he could not feed his beloved openly. He turned around and saw the servants in the manor were taking out the wardrobe from Ah Xin's room as ordered. He immediately became unhappy and said coldly, "Chop it up and throw it into the kitchen as firewood!"

"Ah?" The servant passing by was stunned, and looked at Xie Ze with a confused and fearful face: "Your Highness, are you talking about this wardrobe?"

The wardrobe only has a slight crack on the right door, which is not very noticeable.

Moreover, the cabinet was made of the finest huanghuali wood by a well-known craftsman. Even if His Highness doesn't like it, he can sell it or give it as a reward to the servants. There is no need to use it as firewood, right?

This is Huanghuali. Who would dare to be so wasteful as to use Huanghuali as firewood for cooking?

However, their Highness was still so willful. Xie Ze looked at them coldly and said expressionlessly, "Is there anything else that can be used as firewood?"

It was the wardrobe's fault that it cracked and stabbed Ashin's hand for no reason. Now Ashin's hand is not injured, but he no longer has the opportunity to feed and be intimate with Ashin, which is naturally also the wardrobe's fault.

Out of sight, out of mind. It’s better to burn it as soon as possible.

The servant who was moving the cabinets: "...I obey your command." Their prince is indeed... rich and willful!

Jiang Xin, who only vaguely sensed a little of his own prince's little thoughts, suddenly had the urge to hold his forehead. Compared with his previous life, his prince not only doted on him more, but sometimes seemed to have become more childish...

Xie Ze had no idea that when he was not aware of it, he was almost stripped down to his underwear by his Ah Xin. After getting rid of the eyesore, he finally felt better and began to pick up food for his little study partner: "Ah Xin, eat more."

"......Yeah." Jiang Xin silently buried his head in his meal, pretending that he knew nothing.

"I'll take you to the hot spring later." Seeing that his study partner was eating happily, Xie Ze ate an extra bowl of rice as well. He then took Ah Xin for a walk and made the suggestion seriously as they walked.

"..." Jiang Xin was silent for a while before he whispered, "The wound hasn't healed yet."

Xie Ze: "..." I almost forgot that you can't take a hot spring bath if you have a wound...

Jiang Xin looked at his prince silently. Although he had changed a lot in his past and present lives, his obsession with hot springs seemed to have not changed at all.

Thinking of the experience of fooling around here in his previous life, Jiang Xin's face turned red, and for a moment he didn't know how to face the current prince.

But this time Jiang Xin really misunderstood his prince. Xie Ze really just wanted to take him to the hot spring to cheer him up, and he had absolutely no other intentions.

He has never properly confessed his feelings in his life, so even if he has other thoughts, he can't do anything.

Thinking of this, Xie Ze became even more depressed.

Unable to soak in the hot spring, in order to make Ah Xin get better sooner, Xie Ze went to rest with Jiang Xin early that day. And as Jiang Xin's new wardrobe had not arrived yet, he put his clothes in the wardrobe in his own room and took him in as well.

"..." Jiang Xin silently watched Xie Ze's actions, and felt that his Highness must have experienced a lot in his two lives to have such a thick skin.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Xin fell asleep in the arms of his own prince. As expected, he returned to the dream of his previous life.

At first, he was very resistant to the scenes in his dream, but later, because His Highness appeared, he felt much happier.

Because of His Highness's presence, the nightmare is no longer a nightmare. I even feel lucky to be able to see a different side of His Highness in my dream.

Now, knowing that His Highness also possessed two different kinds of memories and energies, and that the His Highness in his dreams was also the His Highness sleeping next to him at this moment, he was no longer opposed to these memories of his past lives, and even began to look forward to them vaguely.

He wanted to know more about His Highness and wanted to know about the unknown past that he had experienced with His Highness.

However, perhaps the beauty of the previous life was too short-lived, and tonight’s dream was completely different from what Jiang Xin had imagined.

At first, he did not see His Highness, but only saw a middle-aged man with a long beard speaking to him in a serious tone.

He felt his breathing was heavy and uncomfortable, and subconsciously wanted to escape. He didn't want to listen to this person, but the other person's voice still reached his ears word by word.

"You should know why the prince brought you into the palace, doted on you, protected you and indulged you, right?"

Jiang Xin had a headache. He avoided the other person's gaze, lowered his head, pursed his lips, and gestured stubbornly with his hands: [Your Highness, you treat me well because you like me. I also like Your Highness and treat You well.]

However, after reading what he said, the man just sneered: "Since you also like His Highness and want to be good to His Highness, then His Highness is in trouble now. In order to help His Highness out of trouble, you should do your best to help him. Am I right?"

Jiang Xin still kept his head down in silence. The man knew that he was a mute and did not expect him to say anything. He just continued coldly, "Now the Second Prince has been keeping a close eye on Your Highness. If Your Highness waits until he ascends the throne and Your Highness cannot leave the capital, then the winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. I'm sure you can guess what Your Highness' fate will be."

Jiang Xin looked up at the person who was speaking. He didn't like the other person's attitude, but he also knew that what the other person said was true.

The emperor died suddenly, and the second prince took the opportunity to seize power. The eldest prince and the third prince were beheaded. Now the whole capital is in chaos, and the atmosphere in the whole palace has become tense.

I heard from the servants in the mansion that the entire capital is now under the control of the Second Prince, who is trying to prevent Your Highness from leaving the capital and bringing back troops.

When the man saw Jiang Xin's expression, he knew that Jiang Xin had heard his words. His expression relaxed a little, and he continued, "Everyone knows that His Highness loves you like crazy, and he is crazy about you. He will always keep you by his side.

As long as you are willing to act as bait and divert the attention of those people for His Highness, then His Highness can take the opportunity to leave the capital, and you can be considered to have helped His Highness."

Jiang Xin understood what the man said, and he suddenly realized what decision he would make at this moment.

That night, the prince came back. He did not explain too much to Jiang Xin. He only told him about the escape plan for the next day. Several teams would set out from the palace together, and the two of them would mix in the middle team, which would make it more likely for them to leave.

Jiang Xin just nodded obediently and took the initiative to step forward and kiss His Highness on the face.

In the dream, Jiang Xin was shy most of the time and rarely took the initiative. Xie Ze noticed the touch on his face and couldn't help but feel moved. He kissed back subconsciously, and thus missed the other party's abnormal behavior today.

Jiang Xin felt a dull pain in his chest. Although he hadn't dreamed yet, he could roughly guess what was going to happen next.

Just as he thought, he listened to the man and did not leave with His Highness. Instead, he mixed in with other teams early and headed in the opposite direction.

He didn't know whether His Highness had gone to look for him. Maybe not, or maybe he had.

Finally, he was caught, but fortunately, His Highness escaped safely.

His chest felt sore and swollen, but for some reason, he seemed to be able to feel that Jiang Xin was happy at this moment.

In everyone's eyes, he has always been a waste, but he is still useful to the prince who is the best to him, and he has helped the prince!

Perhaps because he was feeling too depressed and uncomfortable, Jiang Xin woke up in panic.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Jiang Xin's breathing sounded heavy. Xie Ze woke up soon after. Seeing that his tutor's forehead was covered with sweat, he quickly wiped it off, frowned, and spoke with concern.

Jiang Xin quickly shook his head, hugged his own prince aggrievedly and stopped talking.

He was a little sad and very angry.

He knew what Jiang Xin was thinking in the dream, and because he knew it, he was angry.

"He" thought about helping His Highness and doing good to His Highness, but the most important thing was that in "his" heart, he actually believed what the counselor said. His Highness kept "him" by his side just to be able to use "him" as bait one day.

But "he" stubbornly felt that His Highness liked him a little, and as long as there was just a little bit, he could happily serve as bait and happily help His Highness.

"He" had never thought, nor dared to think, that His Highness liked "him" more than just a little, but a lot, so much that he wanted to go with him.

Xie Ze patted Jiang Xin's back gently and coaxed him in a low voice.

These past few days, his Ashin often wakes up in the middle of the night, and he has now become accustomed to it.

As long as he held him in his arms and soothed his back, his Ashin would soon be able to slow down his breathing and fall asleep again.

However, for some reason today, Xie Ze coaxed him for a long time but he still didn't fall asleep. When he asked him, he just kept burrowing into Xie Ze's arms and didn't say anything.

The only family that had provoked him, Ashin, recently was the Jiang family. Naturally, Xie Ze put the blame on the Jiang family.

Little did he know that Jiang Xin just didn't want to sleep and didn't want to dream about his past life again. He was angry at himself for being so stupid in his past life, and angry at himself for making His Highness sad. He didn't want to think about those memories anymore. He didn't want to become the bad Ah Xin who made His Highness sad!

However, whether he wanted to or not, he could last for one night, but he couldn't last without sleep every night.

Even if he could, Xie Ze wouldn't just watch him get angry like that.

So, on the second night after arriving at the hot spring villa, he dreamed of his past life again.

But this time, perhaps because of his resistance, time in the dream seemed to pass very quickly, and many moments passed by like a cursory glance.

He just felt that he had lived for a long time in the palace where a new group of people had been replaced. He stayed in a small room every day, and someone brought him food so he would not starve to death.

This went on day after day for a long time. It seemed that someone came to rescue him during the process, but they all failed.

Finally, he was brought to the city wall, where he took a last look at His Highness. The Highness was still as handsome as he remembered, and he looked even more majestic in armor.

The little wooden horse that had been nestled in his hand was finally put into His Highness's hands. During his time in the palace, he carved many little wooden horses according to His Highness' zodiac sign. This one was the most beautiful and could be given to His Highness.

Jiang Xin closed his eyes. He finally understood why his prince would sometimes look at him with sad and painful eyes. He finally understood why his prince would always protect him like a fragile porcelain bottle.

Because in the previous life, he lost His Highness, and His Highness also lost him.

When he opened his eyes again, he thought he had lived a long life, but found that he had turned into a shadow, floating beside His Highness.

No, it should be called Your Majesty.

However, His Majesty’s Highness doesn’t seem to be happy at all after becoming His Majesty’s Highness.

He heard his prince calling his name, saw his prince going mad and staying awake all night, and saw someone accidentally knock over the wooden horse beside the bed and be ordered by his prince to be dragged out and beaten to death.

He followed his prince to court, and he heard many people in the court calling his prince a tyrant, saying that he was cruel and inhumane and would be punished by heaven.

Of course, anyone who said these words had his neck chopped off by His Highness.

There are many people who curse His Highness, and even more people who are afraid of His Highness.

But his prince didn't care. He didn't care about anything. He beheaded and killed people at will, as if he didn't care about human life at all.

Jiang Xin should have been afraid, but he was so sad that he forgot to be afraid. He just wanted His Highness to sleep well, eat well, and stop torturing himself.

Later, one day, he finally saw His Highness again, who was rarely sober and calm. He followed him and floated all the way to his own grave.

Only then did he realize that this day was the anniversary of his death.

His Highness just stood in front of his tomb, without saying a word or making any movements, and he stood there for the entire day.

Until the sun set, Jiang Xin, who was floating beside Xie Ze, became anxious and wanted to push his prince away. The moment he stretched out his hand, he felt a drop of warm water passing through the back of his transparent hand and falling to the ground.

Those were Xie Ze's tears.

"Ah Xin..."

He heard Xie Ze's extremely suppressed cry.

Your Highness.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Xin woke up with a scream, and subconsciously grabbed Xie Ze beside him.

"I'm here." Xie Ze thought he was having a nightmare again, so he quickly hugged Jiang Xin and coaxed him softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid, Xin..."

However, the next second, he saw his Ah Xin's face was already in tears, but he still stubbornly stretched out his hand, touched his face, and cried inconsolably: "Your Highness, don't cry! Your Highness, don't cry, wuwawuwu!"

"...I didn't cry." Xie Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to wipe away Jiang Xin's tears but found that the tears kept flowing out and he couldn't wipe them away. He could only say helplessly: "Did you dream about something? It's all fake, I..."

Jiang Xin cried breathlessly, as if he wanted to release all the depression and pain in his dream. He cried and said incoherently: "Your Highness, don't be sad! I'm here, I'm here, I'm not dead--"

Xie Ze was startled when he heard this and looked suddenly at Jiang Xin.
