Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Chapter 18 The Emperor Reads the Mansion Newspaper

Mu Ci lay on her side, resting her forehead with one hand, fiddled with the silver bracelet with her slender fingers, and asked slowly, "Who is this for?"

Heshun doesn't seem to love money, and he is reluctant to part with the silver bracelet, which shows that it has a special meaning.

He Shun shyly said: "This, I originally wanted to leave it to the villain's younger sister, save her a dowry, and let her marry a good family."

"They all put you..." Mu Ci casually raised her hand to touch the crotch of He Shun's crotch, making a "cut" movement, "You still think about your sister?"

He Shun subconsciously covered his lower back, almost crying: "Your Highness...the villain's mother can't do anything, the family is in a disaster, the father was washed away by the water, the elder brother has to maintain the family's livelihood, my sister and I are both young, so we can't do anything." I can't get a job, and they don't want to raise it for nothing, only willing to sign a lifelong contract. My sister is still young, and she can't take care of herself, so she had to sell me. And it's because I was greedy for a lot of money in the palace, and the villain was... Mother As a villain, my eyes are crying blind, my brother has been saving money to bring the villain home, but unfortunately... woo woo..."

After entering the palace, he couldn't help but leave as soon as he wanted to.

Mu Ci was speechless, presumably it was because He Shun was foolish and easy to deceive that he was tricked into entering the palace.Mu Ci has seen this kind of tragedy a lot, but it doesn't mean he is used to it, otherwise he would not leave his private property, and all his wealth was used to establish various charities of "Ci Ji".

Mu Ci swept everything, including the pair of silver bracelets, under her pillow, and said to Heshun, "Don't cry, since you gave it to me, I won't return it to you even if you cry to death."

He Shun reluctantly glanced under the pillow, turned his face away, and put back his tears.

"Read!" Mu Ci threw the residence newspaper silk into Heshun's arms, and got down on the ground again.

He Shun shook the silk, and stammered, "Er... to... mountain... uh, this... of..."

Mu Ci glanced at him lightly.

He Shun suddenly felt the pressure, and bowed his head with a blushing face: "Your Highness, villain... only knows a few words."

Mu Ci: "..."

"The villain is useless, and he can't share His Highness's worries." He Shun started to cry again, like a crying bag.

Mu Ci comforted: "It's okay, I don't understand either."

He has always been a prodigy in the sciences, and he is so biased that the arts and sciences are not slanted, but basically vertical. He is used to foreign languages ​​and numerical reports, and has little contact with traditional characters, and he can't read ancient Chinese without punctuation.

He Shun immediately misunderstood him, thinking that the Ninth Prince was illiterate because he had no one to teach him in the cold palace, and said sympathetically, "...Your Highness, you are so pitiful."

Mu Ci glanced at him again... It's been a long time since he felt pitied by others, and it was still pitiful by a cute kid.

Anyway, neither of them could understand, so they stared wide-eyed.

Mu Ci had no choice but to study it with the mansion newspaper, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I'll find someone else to read it."

"Why don't you call the general?" Heshun suggested.

Mu Ci thought for a while, then shook her head, it's not suitable to bother him too much, he is obviously busy with affairs.

Under the tight cover of the big yellow umbrella, Emperor Tianshou walked to the door of Hehuan Hall, and saw Mu Ci lying on the bed, pulling a mansion newspaper, reading it upside down.

When Heshun saw the emperor, he bowed down to greet him in fear.

Mu Ci just turned her head, glanced over lightly, as if looking at a stranger, then lightly retracted her gaze, and continued to read the mansion newspaper.Lying on the bed, she had no intention of getting up to say hello.

He Shun winked to remind him - this is the emperor, he needs to salute.

Mu Ci didn't even bother to give him a glance out of the corner of his eye, and studied the Dibao word by word.

... This was the first time that Emperor Tianshou saw his youngest son in a waking state. He carefully observed the complexion of the youngest son - although he was pale, his eyes were black and clear, his expression was focused, and he did not look drowsy.He just felt happy, and didn't care that his younger son didn't salute. He tried his best to make his voice sound more kind, and walked over and asked, "Jiulang, are you awake?"

Nonsensical question one, answer: ignore.

"Feeling better?"

Nonsensical question two, answer: ignore.

"Uh... what do you want Lin Yuan to do? I... can my father help me?"

Nonsensical question three + nonsensical self-proclaimed one, answer: ignore + ignore.

Emperor Tianshou never got the slightest response. He had never been ignored like this, but he couldn't get angry for no reason. Facing his youngest son's pale face, thin body bones, and bandaged wound on his forehead, he had no position to get angry.

Emperor Tianshou was very embarrassed, so he asked Heshun: "What's wrong with Jiulang?"

He Shun said honestly: "Your Highness can't understand the mansion newspaper. The villain is useless, and he doesn't know a few words. His Highness doesn't want to bother General Mou..."

Full of sympathy.

Your Highness, it is really pitiful.

Hearing the words, Emperor Tianshou almost staggered, and Wei Zhong hurriedly helped him up.

Yes, forgot.He kept his younger son in limbo for 16 years and never sent any teacher to teach him.The mother also passed away after the youngest son was five years old. It seems that he was illiterate and couldn't read the newspaper.

Emperor Tianshou pushed Wei Zhong's hand away, feeling mixed emotions in his heart for a while.The most honorable prince of his Mu family, wasted in the cold palace, had never learned anything, and was pitied by a poor eunuch who came from a poor background.

Emperor Tianshou was extremely difficult, and continued to ask Heshun: "Is that so, Jiulang... are you feeling better?"

He Shun reported to the emperor with a beaming face: "Your Highness is much better today, and he didn't even wet the bed."

Emperor Tianshou: "..."

Mu Ci: "..."

Pee...bed...Did we hear that right?

Wei Zhong's temples twitched, feeling that Gentleman's IQ was flawed and hopeless.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Tianshoudi sighing and shaking his hands slightly, knowing that this was a repelling person, he greeted He Shun and left the room.

There are only two father and son left in Hehuan Hall.

"Yan...Yan slave?" Tianshoudi walked to the bedside, and in order to appear close, he specially called his youngest son by his baby name...it should be this, right?

Mu Ci's tone was cool: "En? Who's your name?"

"Isn't it... your nickname?" Emperor Tianshou was a little uncertain.

Mu Ci thought for a while, then said lightly: "It should be. It's been more than ten years, and I almost forgot that my mother called me that... She once hoped that I would be born in a farm family and be as free as a wild goose."

Emperor Tianshou: "..." He was so run on that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Jiulang," Emperor Tianshou changed his title, and said softly, "Don't lie on your stomach, your chest and abdomen...are injured." The main reason is the root injury.

"It's also on the back, it's the same." Mu Ci replied indifferently.

Emperor Tianshou: "...then...does it still hurt?"

"It hurts, but I'm used to it." Mu Ci didn't care.

got used to?

What kind of life do you live, you can even get used to the pain?Emperor Tianshou was distressed and remorseful, but he didn't want his youngest son to see him lose his composure. He tried to control his emotions, noticed the empty medicine bowl, and changed the subject and asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Mu Ci remained silent.

Emperor Tianshou thought it was a default, and asked again: "Are you hungry, have you eaten yet?"

"I do not want to eat."

"Why?" As soon as he asked, Emperor Tianshou suddenly thought of the embarrassing and tragic injury of his youngest son.He endured the sudden pain in his heart, and said patiently: "Father asked the Yushan Secretary to cook porridge, can you use some?"

"No, too much urine."

"..." Emperor Tianshou had a heartache and a headache, and he didn't know what to give Xiao Jiulang.

"Just add some salt to boiled rice." Mu Ci thought that sooner or later he would overcome anorexia, so he didn't run away.

This was the first time Mu Ci expressed his wishes, and Emperor Tianshou was very happy to give orders, and then sat down next to Mu Ci's bed, and gently pulled the newspaper.

"What do you want to know?" Emperor Tianshou asked, his voice was so soft that he couldn't believe it, "Father heard that you asked someone to fetch the residence report for half a year?"

"You know, what I asked him to get is three years." Mu Ci stated the facts lightly. He knew that without the emperor's approval, he would not be able to get the residence report.

"Well, I know... who... asked you to take these?" The Emperor Tianshou admitted, but was a little puzzled, how did a child locked in the cold palace know about such things as Dibao?Also know that the above information is critical.

Mu Ci explained lightly: "The King of Luoyang once read several copies to me, saying that all the information of the whole country can be found on it."

He no longer called Mu Nian the third brother, but the alienated "Luoyang King".Tianshoudi immediately figured out all the subtext from a title - Mu Ci knew that he was being used.

Emperor Tianshou has already investigated, and Saburo's explanation is: because he has not been able to get close to the cold palace for the past three years, he is worried and worried, so he tried his best to sneak outside the wall of the cold palace to guard, but when he heard the scene of the prince's violence in the early morning, he was enraged for a while, and he rushed to the palace regardless. In the hall of the Chaohui, he complained for the ninth younger brother.

As soon as the words were spoken, they were like water poured out, and they couldn't be contained.

The King of Luoyang exposed the Ninth Prince and saved the Ninth Prince. Otherwise, with the Ninth Prince’s tragic condition, he would die quietly in the cold palace in a short time. At that time, the Emperor Tianshou might have already achieved great success, and the Prince became the new emperor. The truth will never be revealed. Discover.

And the King of Luoyang must have a little selfishness in exposing him in public, otherwise he could have told the Emperor Tianshou in private instead of making it known to everyone...and showing his little brother's wound to the world.

All this, let the youngest son see through.

This child grew up in the cold palace, but he is also very sharp and intelligent.If educated well from an early age...

Emperor Tianshou suppressed the unspeakable feeling in his heart, didn't dare to think about it, tried to squeeze out a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "I can give you as many years of residence as you want, but you..." I don't understand . "What are you going to do?"

Emperor Tianshou was distressed and loving, seeing Mu Ci lying on his face softly, he couldn't help reaching out to touch the top of his black soft hair.

Mu Ci immediately turned her head to the side, avoiding the hand of Emperor Tianshou, and replied flatly: "If you don't understand, just read it slowly. I just want to understand what this world looks like."

The tone is very understated, purely, just stating a fact, without the slightest resentment or hope in the voice, as if it is just saying that, and doesn't care whether it can be realized.There was no yearning expression on Mu Ci's pretty face, and her dark eyes were dull and silent.

If it is said that all thoughts are lost, but it is not true, it is at least a kind of "sorrow" among the seven emotions, but Mu Ci's eyes are empty, there is no sorrow, no sorrow, no joy, no waves.

This kind of eyes that are more indifferent than dead silence, appearing on a young man who should be alive, only makes people feel weird.It's like the eyes of a high and most beautiful mansion in the temple looking down on the common people, ethereal, ethereal, calm and compassionate... But, it's just a statue carved from jade, not alive, without the seven emotions of the world.

Tianshoudi's hands began to tremble again.

This child is his own son, the child conceived by him and the woman he loves the most. It combines the blood of the two people, and even the appearance combines the advantages of the two people. It is so beautiful that it is shocking.

This should have been his most beloved child.

But he was destroyed by his own hands and became the saddest child.

What kind of life has this child lived in the past ten years?

Loneliness, loneliness, pain, being bullied and having nowhere to complain... Every scar on his body is complaining about the injustice he has suffered in these years.In the end, he lost all hope, even his health and vitality, and he died... If it wasn't for the strange Taoist to save him, he would have died long ago.

Emperor Tianshou was heartbroken and speechless, and wanted to touch and comfort the child.

"Don't touch me!" Mu Ci dodged again, he didn't care about the emotional changes of the Emperor Tianshou, and moved into the bed like a beast, leaning against the bed wall as far away as possible, and then slowly lay down again.

Only now did Emperor Tianshou know that his youngest son was rejecting him.

Firmly refuse.

Emperor Tianshou had no position to blame the child for his rudeness, so he forced himself to withdraw his hand and did not touch it again.

Mu Ci slowly got down on the ground, the silky cotton pillow was very slippery and soft.Mu Ci never wronged herself in life, she leaned on the soft pillow and rubbed her face comfortably.

The very childish action made the Emperor Tianshou dumbfounded.

But it's not that Mu Ci is acting cute on purpose. Mu Ci always does everything according to her heart, doing whatever she wants, and never looks at other people's faces.He glanced at Tianshoudi, and asked bluntly: "Can you understand the information in the mansion newspaper?"

"Of course I can understand."

"Then you read it to me." Instead of asking, Mu Ci took it for granted.

Emperor Tianshou actually smiled and agreed: "Okay..."

As a powerful father, he has met many reasonable and unreasonable demands of his children.But he has never let go of his body like now, just to satisfy his youngest son, he is willing to do anything.

So the Emperor Tianshou did something that he would never do in his life - the majestic ninety-five-year-old robbed the job of serving as a lecturer at the seventh rank, and read newspapers to others.

"Jiaxu in the second month of Xinchou year, the emperor personally sealed it in the Zichen Palace and rewarded it..." The deep voice of the middle-aged man who did not look old rang out in the Hehuan Palace...

Outside the hall, under the corridor.

Wei finally took a few glances at the rain curtain hanging down into thousands of lines, and then took another look at Heshun.The child did not lower his eyebrows and pretend that he was a lifeless wooden stump, but scratched his ears and scratched his head, poking his head to see what was going on in the inner room.

He is really a child, he has just entered the palace and has not yet learned the rules of survival in the palace.

Wei finally thought: This heartless child may not live long in the palace.But what did it matter to him?Everyone in the palace, it's too late to protect their lives wisely, how can they care about this child who is bound to die?

But he couldn't hold back in the end, and ordered softly: "Go to the tea room and make some tea."

He vaguely remembered that 30 years ago, he also entered the palace at a young age, and he accidentally made a noise out of curiosity... It seemed that a person from the Whitehead Palace also ordered "go get some tea".

He left, and the Whitehead Palace stood in his place.

and then?

After he finished urging tea, he heard that the palace attendant had disappeared forever, but he didn't even remember what the palace attendant looked like.

This made him cautious, so he was able to live long enough to know how to survive in the palace. In the end, by coincidence, he sacrificed his life on the battlefield to save the Emperor Tianshou, who was personally conquered by the emperor, and worked hard for many years before he got his current status.

"Yes, Chief Manager." Heshun had something to do, smiled gratefully, and ran away happily.

He thought happily all the way: His Highness Ninth Highness has come so hard, even His Majesty read newspapers to him personally.A well-informed court lady and eunuch blocked Heshun on the road to talk, and covered it with his sleeves, took off his more valuable big ring and new bracelet again, and quietly handed it to Heshun.

This time, he was going to enter the inner room and serve the Ninth Prince up close.

He Shun didn't say yes or no, he had no choice but to accept all the "gifts" with a smile.

This is for His Royal Highness Ninth Prince to save property.
