I have flowers, do you have pots?

"Second brother, you are already so old, so don't get involved."

Unexpectedly, the prince's mouth was so tightly sealed, and even this failed to deceive those past events.But Mu Xianyu didn't say anything good, waved his hand impatiently, and ruthlessly pushed his second brother aside: "I always feel that there are many things that everyone except me knows— — But why do you need to hide it from me? It’s fine if the emperor doesn’t tell me, even second brother, you won’t tell me..."

"It's not that the second brother doesn't want to tell you, it's that there are some things that can only be said by the emperor."

The prince patted the younger brother on the back, coaxed him in a good-tempered manner, and then said after a moment of pause: "Actually, this time, I'm not only here to make a stop for my father, but also to pick you up. I'm listening Said that after the tiger and leopard cavalry were dispatched, the father was furious, took over the military power of the Gao family, and sent me to the south of the Yangtze River—told me to take you back to Beijing to participate in the spring hunting..."

"Second brother—are you sure this passage is for me?"

Mu Xianyu was teasing the little guy in his arms with a rattle, and raised his head in surprise when he heard the words, and chuckled in disbelief: "I don't think I should be treated like this—besides, even if the father and the emperor Nian has brought imperial power and military power back into his hands step by step. With the temperament of the old Duke, how could he be willing to be taken away from the military power? Not to mention it is because of me, because a siege crossbow is destroyed and it is almost the same... "

"The siege crossbow is naturally one of the reasons..."

The prince sighed helplessly, and instinctively admitted, but suddenly a little surprise flashed in his eyes: "No——third brother, how did you know that the siege crossbow was destroyed? The news in the palace was only lost. I bought a siege crossbow, and I can’t find it anywhere in the capital. This thing is a siege weapon. If it falls into the hands of thieves, I’m afraid there will be endless troubles. An explanation is fine. But my grandfather would rather hand over his military power and plead guilty than to open his mouth no matter what..."

"Of course you can't find it, because I burned that siege crossbow—but if you go back in time, the iron-cast crossbow head should still be in the forest outside our village."

Mu Xianyu shook his head and smiled lightly, then lightly rubbed Mo Zhi's forehead, lowered his eyes and said slowly: "At that time, if Mo Zhi hadn't discovered the siege crossbow in time, I'm afraid we would all be buried there. Under a crossbow. I was worried that the killer would still be waiting on the way back. We didn’t dare to stay all the way forward, but we were still caught up by tigers and leopards before we ran far. I am doomed to be unable to survive..."

The prince finally heard him talk about the dangerous situation on the road, and felt his chest was so tight that he could hardly breathe. He grabbed his wrist, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice: "Third brother, come back to the palace. We are together Eat and live together, go in and out together, I don't believe how they can attack you..."

"Forget it, you still go in and out with my sister-in-law, I'm not interested in doing that kind of thing between brothers."

Mu Xianyu shook his head solemnly, and brushed him away mercilessly.The prince was stunned for a long time before he finally realized what his little brother had learned outside, and raised his hand angrily and amusingly to hit him, but Mo Zhi stopped his arm on tiptoe: "Second brother, don't hit little brother!" , Mr. said that you will become stupid if you keep hitting your head..."

The crown prince was so dizzy from his messy address, but he could only hold back his hands dumbfoundingly, and looked at his younger brother who was resting: "Did you teach him this?"

"It's not me. He has a husband in his own family."

Mu Xianyu couldn't help chuckling, took the little guy who had done meritorious service into his arms, and patted him on the back encouragingly.He raised his head to look at the prince again, shook his head and said slowly: "Second brother, I can't stay in the palace any longer, this is destined to be no way - in fact, I originally thought that I would be fine if I hid in the south of the Yangtze River. People chased me and drove me to the south of the Yangtze River. This is probably the intention. But I didn't expect that I just got here, and you followed me, and even my father is coming in spring... According to this momentum, should I run farther south?"

"Don't mess around—the climate further south is humid and full of miasma, your body can't bear it."

The prince looked helplessly at the younger brother who was stubborn and no one could control him, and sighed very lightly, but he could only give up the idea of ​​tying him back to the capital: "Forget it—if you like Jiangnan, you can do it in Jiangnan." It’s okay to stay here. The left and right Zhang’s family is also here, and they can take care of them to some extent..."

"Not necessarily."

Mu Xianyu shook his head, smiled helplessly and said: "Second brother, you probably don't know yet—although the old man chased us all the way, we also followed the clues all the way here. The source of that tea cake is Zhang Family, if you hadn't occupied the place there, we might have killed them today to question them."

"The tea cake belongs to the Zhang family?"

The prince's eyes suddenly froze, he frowned and pondered for a while, but he still shook his head in disbelief: "But everything that the Zhang family pays tribute will have a specific mark, and there are special records in the mansion - if it is sent by them Tea cakes, it’s impossible to find out without even checking..."

"Second brother, I haven't really figured out where the tea cakes came from, what they were sent to the palace for, and who you should have given them to."

Mu Xianyu's expression became serious, and he looked at the prince seriously and said, "I don't really like tea. You always only drink tea before the rain, and I know that too. The tea cakes should not be served as tea cakes. It’s right for the two of us, you stopped it and gave it to me secretly because it can dehumidify and moisten the lungs and have health benefits, but if you didn’t stop it, who should it have been sent to?”

"it--"

The prince was at a loss for words for a moment, and there was some guilty conscience in his eyes. After a long while, he coughed softly and said helplessly: "Of course it should be given to the royal father—since the former mother passed away, the royal father's food and clothing expenses have become more and more strict. , all the tributes from below to the father emperor must be inspected by a special person before they can enter the palace. After I took over the East Palace, this matter has come under my control. Sometimes I will use it as an excuse for non-compliance , I decided to stop something on my own, and then asked someone to secretly give it to you, who knew that this time it was so accurate, and I just ran into it..."

"Second brother... Are you using power for personal gain?"

Although I have long felt that my second brother's previous excuses did not make sense, but I never thought that it would be the truth.For a moment, Mu Xianyu felt that his head was as big as a bucket. Holding his forehead, he laughed dumbly and said, "I haven't lived in the royal palace since I was a child. Those things are just dispensable. If you don't have them, you won't have them. Two Why do you have to take such a big risk for me..."

"Not taking a risk... I'm just pissed off."

The prince shook his head and responded in a low voice, and after a moment of silence, he finally shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed very lightly: "I know you don't lack those things, I just feel——I still can't get over this hurdle in my heart." Son. When you first entered the palace, they wantonly deducted your food and clothing expenses. I was still young at that time, and in a fit of anger I went to complain to my father, but my father just said 'let them go'. I was I was just thinking... If you let them go, you can naturally follow me. Since my father doesn't care if they embezzle your things, then I will find it for my brother this way—my brother has nothing If you did something wrong, why should you suffer such grievances?"

Mu Xianyu listened to his words quietly, his expression didn't move, but there was a faint flash of water in his eyes.Seeing that he was silent, the prince couldn't help but dim his eyes, but he still helped him by the shoulder and said slowly: "Third brother, don't worry—after those things are stopped by me, they will all enter the prince's mansion first, even if one day If Royal Father really wants to investigate, it has nothing to do with you..."

"One or two of you, do you have to tell me to cry before you are reconciled?"

Mu Xianyu suddenly interrupted his words, smiled and shook his head, blinking away the wetness in his eyes.Looking at the compatriot brother in front of him, he cleared his throat and said slowly: "Second brother, I'm not afraid of having something to do with you—in that deep palace, I can only have something to do with you...Actually, I The original plan was not to participate in the spring hunting this time, but to hide in the south of the Yangtze River, and not follow you back to the capital even if your mouth is worn out. Who knows that you played such a card all of a sudden, even if I wanted to If you refuse, I'm afraid it will be difficult to open your mouth..."

"Third Brother——Spring Hunting, you really have to go back. This year's Spring Hunting also has an ancestor worship ceremony. This is a serious matter. Even if Second Brother indulges you again, you can't let yourself be willful."

Having been forced to compromise by this younger brother's devious way of retreating for advancement countless times, the prince instinctively became vigilant.His tone changed immediately, he pondered for a moment, then looked at Mo Zhi, who was at the side, and decided to start with the little guy who looked more coaxable: "Mo Zhi, your little brother is going back this time to do business, he only has Only when you go back can you solve those mysteries and know his true identity. Help the second brother persuade him, and the second brother will buy you candy later, okay?"

Mo Zhi looked back at his little brother in embarrassment, and then at the prince in front of him, feeling that this was the first time he was so entangled.He could feel that the prince's elder brother was saying these words sincerely, but he didn't want the younger brother to be embarrassed. He pursed his lips and struggled for a while, and finally felt that the younger brother's happiness was more important than anything else. He shook his head and said softly: " There are a lot of people bullying the little brother, and the little brother will be unhappy when he goes back..."

"Mo Zhi Mo Zhi—wait a moment."

Before he could finish his words, Mu Xianyu suddenly reacted, quickly pressed the little guy's shoulder, frowned and looked at the sincere prince in surprise: "Second brother, what do you mean as long as I go back this time?" Can you know my identity - without cheating on me?"

"I told you what to do. There is only one ancestor worship ceremony in 20 years. If you don't go back this time, just wait until you are in your forties to go back and verify your integrity."

The prince glanced at him angrily, knocked on the table twice, got up and sat back in the chair: "It's fine if you don't go back—at worst, when it gets dark, I'll come and steal Mo Zhi away, and see if you can keep up with me." follow back..."
