Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Xie Ze's throat tightened, and he held Jiang Xin's hand, pulling him closer, and asked in a dark voice: "Why do you want to kiss me?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Xin was in a daze, with his head slightly lowered, looking at the hand holding him. He seemed to be thinking for a long time before he curved his eyebrows, buried his head in the crook of Xie Ze's neck and rubbed it like a spoiled child, rubbing it again and again, muttering the reason in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Xie Ze tilted his head slightly and put his ear closer, then he could hear the cat-like whisper of his study partner.

"Because I like Your Highness, I like him very much." I like him so much that I can't control myself. I like him so much that I want to kiss Your Highness before I can go to sleep.

Xie Ze's heart suddenly softened. Holding his most precious baby in his arms, he turned his head slightly and kissed Jiang Xin's forehead, then kissed from the forehead to the tip of the nose, and finally kissed the other's lips.

"I like Ashin, too. I like him very much." In my two lifetimes, I only like Ashin. I like him so much that I can restrain all the restlessness and madness in my heart for you, and I am willing to do so.

The young man at the neck was hugging the person next to him defenselessly and had already fallen into a deep sleep due to the alcohol.

The soft lips were moist and glistening, quietly revealing someone's thoughts...

"You mean, Aze stayed in the new house I gave to Jiang Xin today?" Emperor Kang Yuan sat on the dragon throne, his face hidden behind the crown, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Yes..." The guard who was sent to keep an eye on Xie Ze knelt down, paused, and said hesitantly: "Moreover, according to my humble observation, Master Jiang and His Highness seem to be sleeping in the same room..."

As he spoke, as if he was afraid that Emperor Kang Yuan would get angry, the guard quickly added: "But Young Master Jiang is drunk, and Your Highness is in Young Master Jiang's room, perhaps for the convenience of taking care of him..."

"..."Wouldn't it be easier for him to make excuses if he was drunk? ! Emperor Kang Yuan was so angry that his beard was about to stand up. He slammed the table and stood up, laughing in anger: "These two brats really don't take me seriously at all!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the study was startled, and they knelt down instantly, saying tremblingly: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Emperor Kang Yuan took a deep breath and said to the guards below in a bad mood: "If you continue to watch, I will send that stinky boy Xie Ze back to his home tomorrow. From now on, you can no longer ask for leave from the morning court. And Jiang Xin..."

Emperor Kang Yuan paced back and forth for a long time, and he really couldn't think of any good solution. He said with a cold face: "Now the border is not peaceful. He is young and capable. He should share the worries of the emperor. How can he indulge in the love between sons... daughters all day long?

Wang Quan, you will go to Jiang Xin's house tomorrow to tell him my order. Let him continue to study weapons manufacturing in the weapons camp.

If there is no way to develop powerful new weapons, I will send him to the Huo family in Jiangnan to study for a period of time, so as not to waste his talent in vain. "

The Huo family in Jiangnan is a family of craftsmen. Their ancestors have produced several weapon masters. Currently, two of the weapons in the weapons battalion of the Ministry of War are from that family.

There were several other craftsmen who were not members of the Huo family, but they had also gone to the Huo family to learn to a greater or lesser extent.

"Yes." Eunuch Wang, who was hunched over and serving at the side, felt a toothache after hearing this. It was not easy to manufacture new weapons. Even if the weapon master of the Huo family came, he might not be able to make deeper improvements to the original weapons of the Dali Dynasty in a short period of time. What's more, Young Master Jiang was not even twenty years old yet.

Your Majesty, this is not just forcing someone to do something against their will. This is clearly a blatant excuse to separate the virtuous king and Master Jiang!

The virtuous king is a capricious person, and now he is very protective of Mr. Jiang, so how could he agree? Who knows, he might start a fight again!

After Emperor Kang Yuan finished speaking, he probably realized that his order was a bit excessive. He cleared his throat and added: "The time he spends studying at the Huo family won't be too long. Of course, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If he can really develop new weapons, I will not treat him unfairly. This is also the content of the oral order."

"...Yes." Wang Quan twitched his lips and responded respectfully.

I just hope that when he goes to announce the decree tomorrow, the wise king will not vent his anger on him. His old bones really cannot withstand the punches and kicks from Your Highness!

"Okay, you all can go down." Emperor Kang Yuan waved his hand and said calmly: "I want to review the memorials for a while and stay alone for a while."

"Yes." Everyone retreated respectfully.

Emperor Kang Yuan sat back on the dragon throne, glanced at the memorial at hand that reprimanded Xie Ze and his reading companion for being unclear and indulging in male beauty, sighed deeply, closed his eyes tiredly, and leaned back in his chair.

It has been twenty-three years. It has been twenty-three years since his elder brother passed away, and he has been on the throne for twenty-three years.

At the beginning, he truly loved this nephew who had lost his parents at a young age. Even now, compared to his other children, he still loved Xie Ze the most.

After all, he has many sons, but this is the only son who loves his brother the most.

However, as he grew older, his health was not as good as before. While he had to guard against his several grown-up sons, he also felt a little threatened by Xie Ze, who was strong and had military power.

If Xie Ze didn't have a bad reputation, and if he didn't get into trouble from time to time and was criticized by the ministers, leaving his uncle to clean up the mess, it would probably be difficult for him to continue to pamper and trust his nephew as before.

Now, Xie Ze has fallen in love with a man, even to the point of obsession.

It is undeniable that when Emperor Kang Yuan first learned the news, although he was furious, deep in his heart he couldn't help but feel a hint of secret relief and joy.

Xie Ze was obsessed with male beauty and even refused to get married for many years. He only wanted to be with Jiang Xin, which meant that he didn't even plan to have children.

Without any offspring, Xie Ze's threat to him would naturally become almost zero.

Not to mention that after becoming emperor, he will be urged to expand his harem and have children. If Xie Ze continues to be with Jiang Xin, even if he becomes emperor, won't he still have to give up the throne to someone else's son after a hundred years?

Therefore, such Xie Ze is undoubtedly the safest and most harmless to Emperor Kang Yuan.

He could safely hand over the military power to Xie Ze without worrying about his evil ambitions, and he could also safely continue to favor him and let him go...

However, he was not only his most loyal subject, but also his brother's only son.

If he really allowed or even encouraged Xie Ze and Jiang Xin to be together, his brother would be completely extinct.

A hundred years later, in the underworld, how should he face his mother and his brother...

Emperor Kang Yuan was torn and struggled with his selfish desire for power and his guilt towards his brother, but he finally chose to prevent the two from contacting each other in such a painless way.

It was as if he had done his best and had given his brother an explanation...

The early morning sunlight came in through the gap in the window. Jiang Xin frowned and first snuggled into the arms of the person next to him to block out the disturbing light.

After a while, probably because he was sleepy, he opened his eyes dazedly, and then saw his highness looking at him tenderly with his head down: "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xin sat up uncomfortably, feeling his lips seemed to hurt. He shook his head uncomfortably and said, "Your Highness, yesterday, last night..."

"You were drunk last night." Xie Ze stretched out his fingertips and gently rubbed Jiang Xin's temple, and said helplessly: "Do you remember what happened later?"

Being pressed gently and soothingly, Jiang Xin soon felt much better. Hearing his prince's question, he frowned and began to carefully recall what happened yesterday.

He only remembered that Brother Yao kept pouring wine for him. After he drank a few glasses, he lost his memory. Later...

Later, His Highness seemed to have carried him to the room and brought him water to wash his feet.

He was quite dishonest. The water temperature was obviously just right, but he acted like a child and insisted that the water was very hot. He also secretly lifted his feet out when His Highness wasn't paying attention and splashed water on His Highness!

Recalling this, Jiang Xin immediately felt a little embarrassed. He looked up and apologized to his highness with a guilt-ridden look on his face: "Your Highness, yes, I'm sorry! I..." He was drunk and acted crazy.

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xin saw Xie Ze's face change, and the next second he grabbed his wrist, his expression as cold as a deep pool under a glacier, and his voice as chilling as ice: "Why do you have to say sorry?"

Jiang Xin: “…Ah?”

Xie Ze's rationality gradually disappeared, the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger, and there was no emotion on his cold face: "Do you regret it?" Do you regret kissing me, or do you regret liking me?

"..." Regret what? Jiang Xin felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to ask, he was pinched and cried out in pain: "Your Highness, it hurts."

When Xie Ze heard Jiang Xin's words, he subconsciously loosened his grip, but then he held the man tightly in his arms again, looked at Jiang Xin deeply, and said with gritted teeth: "It's too late for you to regret now!"

After saying that, Xie Ze lowered his head and kissed the slightly swollen lips, holding the person tightly in his arms, not allowing the person to escape at all.

The soft touch instantly stimulated his memory. Jiang Xin stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes and finally remembered everything that happened last night.

It turns out that he not only splashed water on His Highness, but also kissed Him and confessed his love to Him!

He had clearly wanted to find a particularly good time, in a beautiful place, and confess his love to his Highness in a particularly ceremonial manner! In the end, he just said it while drunk, and fell asleep right after he finished speaking!

I didn't hear any response from His Highness!

Although His Highness is like this now, it seems that the answer can be guessed without a response, but...

But it has been two lifetimes, and he also wants to hear the answer from His Highness in person!

"Hiss!" Just when Jiang Xin was feeling annoyed, conflicted and shy, he felt his mouth being bitten lightly.

Jiang Xin looked up and saw his highness's face as black as the bottom of a pot. There was a hint of sadness in his gritted teeth tone: "Don't you really want to be close to me? You're distracted even at a time like this."

"..." Jiang Xin finally remembered that his Highness seemed to have misunderstood something just now, and hurriedly put his hand on Xie Ze's chest and explained hurriedly: "It's not that I regret kissing you, it's that I splashed water on you, I'm sorry!"

I was so anxious that I stuttered and spoke fluently.

Xie Ze: “…”

As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, as if he was afraid that his Highness would not believe him, he hurriedly bumped into Xie Ze's mouth and said aggrievedly: "I don't regret it. I want to kiss your Highness. I like your Highness the most!"

Maybe because he hit her too hard, her lips, which were already swollen from the kiss, broke and started bleeding, making her look even more pitiful.

It was nothing like the scene he had imagined, where he would confess his feelings in the best place, at the best time, and in the best condition.

"..." Xie Ze regained his sanity and realized that he had made a mistake. Seeing the blood on the corner of Jiang Xin's mouth, he said distressedly, "I'll go find the medicine box!"

Having said that, he got up and went out.

Ah Fu, who was waiting outside to serve, was stunned when he heard this. He looked at his highness with an expression that was hard to describe and asked, "What kind of medicine does your highness want?"

"Of course it's to stop the bleeding, why don't you go quickly!" Xie Ze yelled at his stupid subordinate in annoyance.

"...Oh." Ah Fu hurriedly turned around and ran out to find medicine, feeling a little annoyed.

It was his fault that he, as a servant, had not done his duty. His Highness and the Young Master had come to this point, why didn't he think of preparing more medicine? It would definitely be useful!

Xie Ze didn't know that this guy had gotten into trouble again. If he knew, he would probably kick him unsatisfiedly first, then close the door again and walk back to Ashin, gently touching the edge of Ashin's wound.

The glaring red made Xie Ze feel uncomfortable, and Jiang Xin's wrist was also bruised by his pinch.

The next second, Xie Ze slapped himself with a cold face. He went crazy and hurt Ah Xin again, even though he swore after his rebirth that he would never let anyone hurt Ah Xin again.

Jiang Xin: "..." It was as if I had returned to the scene of the day when I first met His Highness...

His Highness is still the same His Highness, he will be cruel to those who have hurt him, even himself...

Jiang Xin raised his hand and took the initiative to touch his Highness's face. He pursed his lips and said seriously, "Your Highness, don't hit yourself. Don't do that again in the future."

Similarly, he couldn't bear to see His Highness get hurt in the slightest. Even if His Highness hit himself, it was not allowed!

"There won't be a next time." Xie Ze held the hand that was caressing him and assured Jiang Xin that he would trust Ashin a little more in the future. If he lost his mind and hurt Ashin again, he would chop off his own hand!

Jiang Xin curled his eyes and suddenly realized that sometimes the timing and place were not so important. What mattered was that the person next to him was his highness.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xin pursed his lips, encouraged himself, and finally said to his highness what he wanted to say most when he was sober: "Your Highness, I like you, the kind of lover and partner, I like you."

Xie Ze was stunned, and then he saw his Ah Xin's ears were red again, staring at him stubbornly and said: "Your Highness, do you like me?"

The moment Jiang Xin finished speaking, Xie Ze couldn't help but hug him in his arms, and said with a look of joy and a sigh:

"How could I not like it?"
