love poison

This is Xin Mu's second brother. He dare not recognize Zhaoyue's king and concubine as his parents, and he never wants to call Dai Angzhuo his elder brother, but this person is his second brother.

Xin Mu has been a medicine man since he was eight years old, but he has been preparing to become a medicine man since he could remember when he was four years old.Those long-term memories, ordinary people should not remember them, but he still remembers, every picture in his memory is so clear.

At the age of four, Xin Mu ate a full meal for the first time. Afterwards, her mother cried and said she was sorry and wanted to sell him into a Han people’s Gou Lan Yuan. At that time, he didn’t know what a Gou Lan Yuan was. , just instinctively afraid.

It just happened to be lucky that the second prince was proclaimed the crown prince that year, and when he went down the mountain for the first time to inspect, he happened to meet Xin Mu who was about to be sold.

The second prince was only six years old at that time, but with an extremely serious face, he rode on a horse and toured his territory majestically.He saw Xin Mu, bought Xin Mu, and brought him back to Wangzhai. He fed Xin Mu well and put on clothes without holes. Xin Mu only needs to smile at him, and he will be very happy. Happy.

It was very happy at that time, but it was only a short period of time. Soon after, Xin Mu and many young children who bought Wangzhai began to train as medicine men.

Xin Mu was imprisoned in an empty room with no food but three bowls of extremely bitter medicine every day. The servants would come in to serve him every day and tell him not to cry, laugh, feel sad, or be happy... ...to make him turn himself into an emotionless wooden man.

From the heart-piercing fear at the beginning to the complete numbness later, Xin Mu endured all the pain, and he finally became the only one among the group of young children who persisted without breaking down.He was imprisoned in that dark room for four years, and when he came out, his identity was no longer that little slave who was almost starved to death, but the honorable third prince of Zhaoyue Kingdom, the unique medicine man of the King.

Everyone said that Xin Mu had a firm mind, but no one knew that what made Xin Mu persevere was not a firm mind, but Mu En.

On the third night of being locked up, Mu En came to look for Xin Mu.

Mu En avoided the guards and climbed up the wall, looked in through the small air hole, called Xin Mu's name, and then held up a small candy, Xin Mu still remembered at this time, Mu En said sadly to him Said: "Don't be angry with me, I didn't know it would be like this... I have a candy, it's delicious, I'll give it to you, don't blame me."

Xin Mu pushed the bench to the wall, stood on tiptoes to barely reach it, took a sip of the sweet candy, and finally felt less scared.

In this way, during those four years, all Xin Mu expected was to see Mu En at night, to see the novelties he brought to him, the shadow puppets of the Han people, the teeth of the monsters from Xiyi Kingdom, and Xin Mu Even if he didn't dare to think about it, he would give Xin Mu all the sacred fruits that had paid tribute to the world in the Zhaoyue Temple.

What Xin Mu likes most are Han Chinese fireworks. Mu En didn't dare to make too much noise with them, so he gave him the smallest one, which lit only a small flame.

At that time, Xin Mu was lying on the wall here, watching the flickering golden fire on the opposite side of the small air hole. It was really the most beautiful thing Xin Mu had ever seen. A moment of loneliness.

Mu En said: "I will take you to Handi in the future. They have the most skillful craftsmen in the world. They can make fireworks that fly into the sky and illuminate the whole night sky. It's so beautiful. You must be obedient and endure your fear." , When you come out, I will take you to see it."

So Xin Mu endured his fear and finally came out.He has almost forgotten the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys in the world, but he only left a small place in his heart for Mu En, filled with fireworks that can set the clouds on fire.

It's been ten years, and they haven't been to Handi once.As the crown prince of a country, Muen has responsibilities and burdens that he cannot let go of. He has to learn a lot of things every day, and he has to help the emperor with government affairs. He is already busy enough, but he has never let go of his love for Xin Mu. Caring, never forgetting that promise, mentioning it from time to time, but it is difficult to fulfill again and again.

But that is always one of their hopes, and they are all looking forward to it in the not-too-distant future.

He is the best person in the world, Xin Mu has always thought so, only he treats me well.

He is still him, he is still Mu En, and he is still Xin Mu's second brother. His appearance has not changed at all, but Xin Mu looked at it, but felt that he could not outline the picture of the countless times he had fantasized about standing in the night and watching the fireworks with him. The beautiful scenery exploded in the sky.

Something is different, something very important is slipping away from Xin Mu's heart quickly, he wants to grab it, but feels like the wind at his fingertips, unable to grab it.Xin Mu felt a little frightened, and also inexplicably uncomfortable. His chest suddenly felt like a tearing pain, and his face instantly turned terribly pale.

Miao En looked at Xin Mu, panicked and supported him, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xin Mu finally felt that the gust of wind under his fingertips was blown away, and the feeling of sadness and pain gradually dissipated. Ronghua's face appeared in front of his eyes, and after that, he didn't feel uncomfortable.

"Xin Mu, are you feeling unwell? I'll call the imperial doctor, you first..." Miao En's pupils were locked tightly, and he couldn't care less about breaking the rules in his heart. He was about to hug Xin Mu in a hurry, but when he stretched out his hand At that moment, Xin Mu suddenly took a step back, away from Muen.

Miao En jumped to nothing and looked up at Xin Mu in astonishment.

Xin Mu's emotions recovered in a very short period of time, and there was no expression on his face anymore. He looked at Muen, although he was still a little confused, but he no longer had any other special feelings.

Xin Mu bowed to Miao En, and said lightly: "Second brother, I'm fine, but... I'm a little tired, and now I have to go back to the palace to rest."

Listening to Xin Mu's words, Mu En vaguely felt that something was wrong. Whether it was Xin Mu's tone or expression, they were all very weird. Before Mu En had time to think about it, a guard ran from a distance and whispered in his ear. After hearing a few words, he immediately frowned, and hurriedly said to Xin Mu: "You should have a good rest, and I won't bother you. If you feel uncomfortable, you should call the imperial doctor to come and see."

Xin Mu nodded, saluted again, and left backwards.

Mu En only took one look at the figure from behind, then turned around and left the palace gate.

At this moment, the entire Zhaoyue King's Village was in total chaos, Rong Hua ran out from the hall, and saw people bustling in front of him, people from Zhaoyue and Xiyi crowded in front of the small hall.

Rong Hua hadn't even put on his clothes yet, and he didn't care about those people when he ran to the door, so he grabbed a servant and asked, "Can you see where the third prince has gone?"

The servant replied: "The servant has never seen the third prince."

Rong Hua hurriedly put on his coat, and saw Zhizhen and Liu Shilang running over together. Liu Shilang was full of panic, and when he ran over, he grabbed Ronghua's arm and whispered in his ear: "Hou Lord, something has happened, His Royal Highness Wang Sun of Xiyi... was... bullied by... people!"

Zhizhen quickly grabbed Rong Hua's other arm, and said softly: "It is said that His Royal Highness Wang Sun drank too much last night, and a guard saw His Highness's... His beauty, so he boldly took His Highness away, forcibly... ...That's it... It is said that His Highness was still injured. At this time, the Xiyi people were shouting and killing, and wanted to kill the guard on the spot, but the guard happened to be the nephew of the princess, so it was impossible to kill him directly. , It’s going on right now! Lord Hou, although it has nothing to do with us at this time, we still need to gather our people quickly, and we must represent Dasheng’s attitude, and we must not neglect it.”

No wonder there was such a riot this morning. It turned out that this was the cause of the trouble.Rong Hua is not in a hurry about this, he dared to do so last night, so he naturally thought about it.

Xiyi has always been a country of rebellious robbers. From time to time, they have to enter Zhaoyue to harass, and there are often refugees who go to Yuezhou to rob their homes and make trouble. Those robbers began to move around again.

Zhaoyue was originally a small country, and the national strength consumed by the rebellion 20 years ago has not yet fully recovered. Xiyi is also ambitious. Although Zhaoyue has the support of Dasheng and Yue Guogong, it has never been a problem to defend this country. But those robbers in Xiyi had nothing to do.They are just some desperadoes, who broke into the houses and killed them, robbed them and ran away, caught one after another, even Duke Yue couldn't do anything about it, let alone Zhaoyue.

Moreover, there are some princes and nobles in the Zhaoyue royal family who seem to have problems. They don't care about Dasheng's rewards at all. On the contrary, they value their reputation as the gods of the mountain, and they have always been unwilling to submit to Dasheng. I don't want to, even if I go back to the old days when the ruthless people drank blood, I still want to be the emperor on my own.These people are usually pro-Xiyi faction, and they often make small troubles with Xiyi without angering Dasheng. The refugees who entered Yuezhou in Zhaoyue let them go.

This group of white-eyed wolves who eat inside and out have always been a thorn in Rong Zheng's heart.It's just that it's hard to get a peaceful border now, so it's not appropriate to use force.What's more, no matter how much trouble there is in Zhaoyue's country, it's their domestic affairs, and it's not suitable for Duke Yue to intervene, otherwise it will hurt the friendship between Yuan Duo and Rong Zheng.

Ronghua thought about it last night, the little fat boy came here yesterday, he was so stupid that he wanted to destroy the alliance with the pro-Xiyi faction.It's a shame to let him spoil Xin Mu anyway, so it's better for Rong Hua to do them a favor and change the way of tearing face.

That tall and burly guard really... didn't disappoint. He presented such a good show to everyone early in the morning.

As for the fact that he took Xin Mu forcibly last night, would it hurt the relationship between Zhaoyue and Dasheng... Ronghua was indeed so obsessed and confused that he couldn't care so much for a while.But he doesn't regret it, anyway, he always has a way.
