Your Majesty, I am not worthy

At the beginning of the new year, the sky is hazy and the sun is thin.

Chu Yuheng had a splitting headache.

Ever since he became king, he had never indulged himself in drinking so much. The headache after a hangover made him struggle and toss in a vague consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, it was no longer the bedroom he was familiar with.

After a moment of trance, Chu Yuheng let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this is Rong Mu's palace.

Chu Yuheng vaguely remembered that he still hugged Rong Mu last night, so he reached out to touch the side of the bed, but found nothing.

Just as drowsy as snow, Chu Yuheng realized that there was no one on the other side of the bed, not even a trace of creases where Rong Mu had slept.

He was obviously sleeping on Rong Mu's bed, it's still so early, where did Rong Mu go?

He drank too much wine last night on New Year's Eve, he only remembered that he had to follow Rong Mu to Rong Mu's sky all the way, but he couldn't remember the rest clearly.

That's why he usually doesn't want to drink too much, once he gets drunk, he forgets about his business.

Kneading the swollen and painful acupoints on his brain, Chu Yuheng frowned and stepped on his shoes and went to bed. The huge palace was quite lonely, and there were not even a servant to attend to, only one or two candles in the corner leisurely There was a faint light, and the charcoal fire in the Jinzun stove sizzled.

Chu Yuheng searched all over, but couldn't find Rong Mu.

When he pushed open the door of the main hall, Xiao Xuanzi who was rubbing his hands and guarding the door was suddenly startled.

"Your Majesty is awake!"

"Where is the prime minister?"

"Outside is the wind. If you catch the cold carefully, your majesty should go in first." Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly asked the serving maid to wait for his majesty to put on his clothes.

Seeing His Majesty's unsuspecting expression, Xiao Xuanzi replied: "My lord Prime Minister left early today, and he left the palace before dawn. He was heading west, and it seems that he went to the location of Zhenshufang."

Xiao Xuanzi still didn't say anything, the prime minister didn't get up early, and he didn't know whether the prime minister slept or not last night, so he went out when the night was quiet.

He was so scared that he was dozing outside the door that he was quite nervous.

"Zhenshufang..."

Chu Yuheng recited these three words silently, and couldn't wait for the maid's slow movements, so he buckled up his dragon robe and went looking for someone.

Rong Mu did not sleep all night.

After he brought Chu Yuheng back to his palace and put him to sleep, he fell asleep without sleep.

Chu Yuheng slept soundly, and there was still a calm and rhythmic drunken snoring in the quiet bedroom, touching the red mark left by Chu Yuheng on his Adam's apple, Rong Mu really couldn't pass the test in his heart.

Then he came out from the palace.

Taking Song Du for a leisurely stroll, we arrived at Zhenshufang.

There are thousands of ancient books in Zhenshufang, even Rong Mu, who is well-versed in poetry and books, has many books that he has never read.

Bathed in the fragrance of books, after reading three books overnight, Rong Mu finally sorted out those complicated emotions clearly.

He had known Chu Yuheng for ten years, and he couldn't forget that there was Wen Li beside Chu Yuheng just because of Chu Yuheng's temporary intimacy, and Wen Li and Chu Yuheng had known each other for a longer time.

Song Du, who came out with Rong Mu, couldn't survive the period, and fell asleep on the table for several hours.

When Song Du opened his eyes, his lord was still in the same posture as before, with his back straight and a book in his hand.

"My lord didn't sleep all night?" Song Du was surprised.

Seeing Song Du woke up, Rong Mu nodded slightly: "I'm not sleepy."

Song Du felt like sitting on pins and needles, feeling quite annoyed by the fact that his master did not sleep but fell asleep: "My lord should take a good rest, it's all my fault that I didn't persuade you."

"It's not your fault, I just don't want to sleep, you can't persuade me." After saying this, Rong Mu shook the ancient book that was about to be read in his hand, "Besides, the books here are worth thousands of gold, I don't want to miss it easily go."

Song Du doesn't understand the value of books, he only knows that his lord's body is the most important thing: "But your lord is already boiled, and the blood color he managed to grow is now pale again."

Song Du babbled at the side, Rong Mu smiled.

When Chu Yuheng brought someone in to make an envoy, Rong Mu happened to finish reading the book in hand.

Seeing Chu Yuheng coming, Rong Mu's heart rippled slightly, and he didn't close his eyes all night, and then he lazily leaned on the chair, the man in white looked a little dazed.

But Rong Mu still remembered to get up and salute.

"Join Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Letting people down, Chu Yuheng carefully looked at the person in front of him, Rong Mu was still wearing yesterday's clothes, his hair was quite neat, even the hair crown that tied his hair was the same as yesterday's.

Although Rong Mu speaks softly in daily life, his personal preferences are very unique. He has to change his clothes every morning, and the same goes for his hair crown.

He didn't change his clothes or hair crown at the moment, so there was only one result - Rong Mu didn't lie beside his bed at all last night.

The dark sunlight hit Rong Mu's face obliquely through the gap of the unclosed window, and looking at the stack of books on the table, Chu Yuheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "You didn't sleep all night last night, and you stayed here Reading?"

With tiredness in his eyes, Rong Mu nodded in response: "It's just a matter of idleness."

Is it idle, or do not want to share a room with him?

Suddenly figured it out, Chu Yuheng's chest was filled with breath, and his whole body became more gloomy.

Chu Yuheng wanted to continue asking, but the little Xuanzi outside suddenly came in with a nervous expression.

Repressing what he wanted to say, Chu Yuheng stared straight at Rong Mu with a pair of eagle eyes, and then took Xiao Xuanzi to the side of Bogu shelf.

Obviously being avoided deliberately, Rong Mu quietly flicked through the ancient book he had just finished reading.

Now that he is blocked outside, it is inevitable that he will have ups and downs.

It has indeed changed. In the past, Chu Yuheng would not hide anything from him in the palace. Whether it was trivial matters in the harem, or news from spies Chu Yuheng placed outside the palace, he would never hide anything from him. They would not be covered up by Chu Yuheng so deliberately.

Chu Yuheng at the other end heard little Xuanzi finished speaking, a touch of surprise crossed his face: "I know."

Xiao Xuanzi came here because of Wen Li's matter. Ever since Chu Yuheng promised Rong Mu to give Hua Huaiyin justice, Chu Yuheng asked someone to tell Wen Li that no one can easily move the Hua Huaiyin case, but Unexpectedly, Wen Li ignored his orders.

Last night, he was tortured to extract a confession, and his legs were broken.

For a moment, Chu Yuheng was filled with resentment at Wen Li's inappropriate forced confession.

After letting Xiao Xuanzi back down, Chu Yuheng was still thinking about how to tell Rong Mu.

This matter must not be hidden.

Based on Rong Mu's care for Hua Huaiyin, Rong Mu will definitely bring up Hua Huaiyin's case to him in a few days.

So it's better to confess with Rong Mu...

Involuntarily tightening the bones of his hands, Chu Yuheng looked at the soft black hair of the man not far away, his eyebrows drooped, and he narrowed his eyes and said: "Just now, the subordinates reported Hua Huaiyin's case."

Rong Mu silently clutched the books on his knees, he thought Chu Yuheng would not say this to him.

But unexpectedly Chu Yuheng brought it up on his own initiative.

The ancient book slipped a few inches from the knee without a sound, and Rong Mu asked, "Has there been any progress in Hua Huaiyin's case?"

Rong Mu still believed in his heart that Hua Huaiyin was not at fault.

If there was any evidence to prove that Hua Huaiyin was the murderer, Wen Li didn't have to use torture to force Hua Huaiyin to admit it.

According to Hao Jing's punishment, when the evidence is solid, it doesn't matter if Hua Huaiyin denies it.

Wen Lihui would torture Hua Huaiyin, Xu said on the other hand, there is no convincing evidence for what happened to Hua Huaiyin back then.

Seeing Rong Mu's concern about Hua Huaiyin's case, Chu Yuheng licked his lips, and suppressed his strong publicity: "Actually, there is no progress in the case."

Rong Mu stared: "Huh?"

Seeing the puzzlement in Rong Muming's eyes, Chu Yuheng's lips rolled out a few rather heavy words: "It was his leg bone that was broken last night..."
