I am His Majesty's favorite

Mu Chen really didn't expect him to say these words.

Despite the meaning of the words, he had written them down in different forms, and quietly hid them in the Huaibei bedroom together with the dream in the middle of the night.

——That was the letterhead he wanted to send to Lin Heng.

I wrote a lot.

But in the end, before he came to Nanchong, all the fire was reduced to ashes.

Perhaps only by his side can we achieve the ultimate longing and protection.

bet.

Mu Chen thought at the time.

He has never had the slightest mistrust of Lin Heng, and he doesn't care why he wants to go to Nanchang by himself.

From the perspective of others, His Royal Highness the crown prince serving the emperor is a submissive and aggrieved one.

But for him, whether Lin Heng is doing well or not is always better than others.

Four eyes facing each other.

Both of them noticed that the other's cheeks were flushed, and they couldn't help avoiding it.

One lowered his head and stroked the pattern on the token, while the other pretended to fiddle with the notepad.

After a long time, Mu Chen couldn't bear it first, and said softly: "Did you hear what I said when I was drunk that day?"

The first thing Lin Heng thought of was the "dog emperor" that he had muttered countless times.

Then with a smile in his eyes, he nodded. "I miss you too."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kept his face and concealed his joy, and the conversation suddenly changed: "Don't think that you will be forgiven just because you gave me a broken sign, but I'll keep it in your mind! Also, you plan to handle those memorials without telling me. how long?"

What Mu Bing mentioned was a memorial to the courtiers to show their loyalty and say, "Execute the prince of Huaibei and promote the prestige of the victorious country".

Lin Heng has been busy jumping up and down recently, staying in the Xuanzheng Hall for a whole day, leaving aside the expansion of the harem to prolong the heirs, the rest are all like this.

Therefore, from the moment he saw the potted plants, Mu Chen understood that the monarch didn't just want him to go out for a stroll.

More importantly, let him listen to less gossip.

Lin Heng guessed that the memorial would not be hidden for too long, but he didn't expect that Mu Chen's heart had already been cleared up.

He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Gu executed some of the ministers who made false statements on the table, but the people involved are complicated and the situation is difficult. There are more people, and Gu can't move for the time being."

Mu Chen snorted when he heard the words. At this time, he restrained his playful and playful posture, and seemed a little more majestic for no reason.

Compared with the usual, it is more suitable for the prince who looks down on the crowd and waits for the day when he will look down on the world.

"If I can't move for a while, then I won't move. I don't think anyone will come to Chiqing Palace with a knife and punish me on the spot."

Of course not.

Lin Heng sighed shallowly: "But some words will be unpleasant."

Mu Chen snorted: "Don't you think that such remarks have never reached my ears?"

Those old men had nothing to do, they filled up their memorial notebooks with long speeches all day long.

Some even preached loudly before leaving the palace that "Huaibei's national power is lost, and the subject should be defeated by Nanchan" or "beauty will eventually harm the country, so it is better to execute it as soon as possible".

Of course, more or less educated people talk about accumulating virtue, and they still launch an offensive with the Qing emperor as the core.

However, the palace servants who could not read big characters were not so reserved.

"My endurance is far better than you imagined. It's just a quick talk. It's just a storyteller. It's interesting to listen to when you're bored."

Mu Zhen stopped His Majesty from saying that he wanted to continue to comfort him, picked up the notepad and read it carefully.

Lin Heng showed pity on his face, and seeing that he didn't want to talk further, he could only tell him instead: "You must memorize the secret passage mechanism recorded above. If you accidentally trigger it, you will easily encounter a desperate situation. Especially the Xuanzheng Palace has the most institutions."

His Royal Highness nodded to indicate that the problem is not serious.

"I'm not a burrowing mouse. I just burrow into the ground when I have nothing to do. Besides, my father always called me to Qiluan Palace to check my homework. I don't even want to step in such a place. By the way, with this, it's really Can you enter and exit anywhere in the palace?"

Lin Heng looked at the jade token and nodded. "Except for the Yongfang Hall where the ancestral tablet is placed, other places are fine, including..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned to the side.

"Forget it, nothing."

Mu Chen has always been the most unpleasant person to speak and only half-spoken, his handsome brows were slightly frowned, and he asked: "Where does it include?"

With the temperament of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you pull out the head and not the tail, you will definitely not let it go.

Lin Heng tried to find other topics to skip this issue, but all failed.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"...including Gu's bedroom."

I thought I would be ridiculed by His Highness the Crown Prince.

I'm afraid that the pure heart and few desires will be suffocated, so I deliberately brought up such a daydream word.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chen was very appreciative. "Very good, I will go shopping in my free time."

"What is there to visit in the lonely dormitory?!"

"Why, His Majesty is only allowed to come to Chiqing Palace to peek at me taking a bath, but this prince is not allowed to go to Changming Palace to spy on the Furong tent?"

"........."

Lin Heng was so blocked that he had nothing to say, and he said after a while, "Then...then you should come twice less, the distance is long, don't get tired."

Mu Zhen poohed, put the token in his palm and tossed it for fun.

"You don't care, the prince likes to go there several times. If one day he is not happy, he will come out from the secret passage and assassinate you."

Lin Heng sighed secretly, knowing that there are few opportunities for peaceful coexistence, he took the opportunity to say everything he wanted to say, and saved His Royal Highness from worrying about it all the time.

He pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and said seriously: "No matter how you understand it, there is absolutely no dirty intention in what I do."

"Mu Chi, I know I'm guilty of involving you in this. If I can repay you in the future, I will definitely repay you a hundred times and a thousand times."

This was probably the first time Mu Chen heard him call him by his first and last name.

In the past, His Royal Highness's call, even if it was extremely annoying, was nothing more than "my surname is Mu", and most of the words were subdued.

It has to be said that Lin Heng's voice was deep and deep, like gravel sweeping through his ears.

Hearing it, His Royal Highness was a little flustered.

Mu Bing turned his head to avoid his direct gaze, and said indifferently: "I'll talk about the matter of involving me later, so why don't you raise your troops to attack Huaibei?"

At the beginning, Nanchen's army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and captured the sixteen prefectures of Huaibei all the way.

Two border guards and dozens of state herds were killed on the spot, causing Huaibei to lose almost one-third of its territory.

These days, Mu Chen didn't say a word about it, but Lin Heng was not surprised to bring it up at this moment.

He said seriously: "I have a reason."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince paused for a moment, then hummed slightly, then continued to tinker with tokens with his head bowed. "This kind of jade seems to be rare, isn't it the same material as Chuan Guo Yuxi?"

Lin Heng: "......???"

Ok?

Is the last topic over?

so suddenly?

His Majesty the Emperor seriously suspected that he hadn't heard clearly, and hesitantly repeated: "I just said that I have a reason."

"I heard." Mu Chen didn't even bother to lift his head. "I have good ears."

"Then you... don't ask, what is the reason?"

Mu Chen said: "What's the matter with you? It's already done. It's not too late to talk about it when you want to explain it to me someday. Besides, I asked, can you return the sixteen states to me now? Leave it to you for the time being." It can be done in your hands, I believe you will not treat the people of Huaibei harshly."

Lin Heng hesitated slightly.

He guessed that he must look very strange, wanting to laugh comfortably, but also a little overwhelmed.

The words are finally just right.

The two were silent for a while.

Just as His Majesty the Emperor was about to speak, it was getting late, and they were afraid that they would go to Tangchi's room to find someone.

Mu Chi stopped fiddling with the token, and looked over with almost distressed eyes.

"Lin Heng, if the string is stretched for too long, it will break."

His Majesty the Emperor was stunned for a while before realizing the meaning of this sentence.

Lin Heng could see that he was sincere and cared about his situation in Nanchang.

The Mu Chen in my impression is always smiling, either playful, teasing, or mocking.

Even if something makes people feel uncomfortable, it seldom reveals such a soft side.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too exaggerated to hold someone in his arms for no reason, Lin Heng, who was comforted, thought that he would definitely hug Mu Chen and lean on his shoulder for a while, in order to seek the sense of belonging that he hadn't experienced for a long time .

In fact, before he could move, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already leaned over and wrapped half of his cloak around him.

"You can do whatever you think is right. If you feel burdened, just think about when we were in Huaibei."

Mu Chen buried half of his face in his clothes, but the temperature of his ears betrayed his deliberately pretending indifference.

In any case, his soft side was exposed, His Royal Highness simply broke the can, and said the truth that he had pondered in Chi Qing Palace these days.

"When I first met you, you were only 15 years old. You were dry and thin, as if you hadn't eaten enough. At that time, I thought, following the prince, I can always make you fatter."

"It's also your fault for your stubborn temper. We didn't get along very well at first. Didn't you ask for most of it? After getting acquainted with you, your stubborn temper has not changed in the slightest. Back to your hard work, the prince will help you to get it justice."

Mu Chen's soft voice swayed in the dark room.

These words, which he had been bored for a long time, were said one by one euphemistically at this moment.

"The princes always tell me, don't hang out with mere mediocre sons. Even if you make it through and return to Nanchan, you will be just a neglected prince for the rest of your life, which is of no benefit to me."

"Hmph, so what if it's not beneficial? Do I have to rely on you to live a good life? I'm the prince, one person is below ten thousand, who dares to wrong me?"

Having said that, Lin Heng could clearly feel the loneliness in his voice.

Subconsciously, he circled the person tightly, and pressed his chin against the warm shoulder.

Mu Chen probably sighed.

"It doesn't matter if you are an unfavored prince or a respected monarch. In my heart, the proton who was my personal servant back then is the one I should protect without any scruples."

"So, you can tell me some things, don't support it alone, and don't ignore me."

"It will be very hard for you."

"I'm going to be very sad."
