Lord of Rebirth

Chapter 256 Captive

When Shen Xi woke up, it was already dark again.

Sun Moyao was lying beside him, in a deep sleep, with his mouth slightly opened, making a very soft snoring sound.

Shen Xi climbed out of bed carefully, not disturbing the prince.

After leaving the house, the small courtyard outside the door was brightly lit, but after half a day's effort, the servants had already tidied up the house in a decent manner and were well-trained.

As soon as he came to the small courtyard, two palace servants immediately came up and stood in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, and asked with a smile what Mr. Shen needed, and they could prepare it.

Looking at them, Shen Xi knew in his heart that they were the ones who would closely watch him and the prince's every move in the future, and now he just smiled when he heard them ask this question, and then said: "I'm a little hungry, Please prepare dinner."

"Don't dare to say it's troublesome." One of the palace servants hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shen, just do what you order."

Another palace official also quickly said, "Master Shen, please go back to the room first, and the little ones who are ready for dinner will come back and inform you."

Shen Xi nodded, turned around and went back to the house.

But as soon as he entered the room, he was immediately hugged into a warm embrace.

Shen Xi made up his mind before returning to the country, he looked up at the prince, and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"As soon as I woke up, I saw that you were not around, so I thought you..." Sun Moyao looked a little shocked, he didn't even put on his robe properly, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he rushed out barefoot.

Seeing this, Shen Xi hurriedly dragged him back to the room, bent down to put on his shoes.

Sun Moyao quickly retracted his legs, "I'll do it myself..."

Shen Xi stood aside and explained, "Seeing that you are still sleeping, my lord, I don't want to disturb you. I want to come out to get some air. I should be hungry. I have sent the servants to prepare dinner."

"You can call me next time you go out, it doesn't matter if you shake me up." Sun Moyao said.

Shen Xi smiled at him, "Why, are you afraid that I will be taken away by the emperor?"

"Yeah, I'm scared to death." Sun Moyao said, "Who knows what the emperor will do next? What if he suddenly changes his mind and arrests you, and then threatens me again? What should we do?"

"However, what you said makes sense." Shen Xi nodded, "But presumably, with the prime minister around, the emperor will definitely not let the emperor go back on his word."

"Now the only one you can trust is the prime minister." Sun Moyao suddenly thought of something, his expression darkened, and he said, "For some reason, I think that kid Wei Zishao's attitude is a little bit wrong."

Hearing what the prince said, Shen Xi immediately reacted, "Yes, I think so too. At first I thought it was because I was too sensitive, so it turns out that the prince also thinks so."

Sun Moyao nodded, "I hope we don't think too much."

"Too……"

Just as he was talking, the palace servants came to report that the dinner was ready, and invited the prince and Mr. Shen to have dinner.

The two got up and went to the outer room, but Shen Xi didn't elaborate on what the prince likes to eat, but he didn't expect that the dishes they prepared were quite in line with their tastes, it seemed that he had made some preparations.

After dinner, the prime minister came to pay a visit.

He said he came early in the morning and heard that they were having dinner, so he didn't bother.

When Lu Jufeng saw the two of them, he bowed to each other and said, "Your Majesty has been wronged, I'm afraid I will have to stay here for the next few years."

Sun Moyao waved his hand, "Whether you are wronged or not is another matter. Why, the emperor hasn't changed his mind?"

Lu Jufeng laughed, "No, the emperor has made an order and is ready to go on tour."

"Oh?" Sun Moyao thought for a while, the emperor was unexpectedly firm today!

On the contrary, Lu Jufeng said that today's matter was just about to be planned, but the queen had a big fight with the emperor, saying that she should either take the queen with her or not allow the emperor to go, which delayed a lot of things.

Hearing this, Sun Moyao burst into laughter, "The harem is on fire! Haha, the emperor has to pass the empress's test first!"

Shen Xi glanced at the prince, then turned around and asked Lu Jufeng, "Have you heard any news?"

But Lu Jufeng asked: "Ziyuan, why did you refuse to be a Taifu?"

Shen Xi said: "You really want me to go?"

"No." Lu Jufeng thought for a while and said, "Not to mention the vain job of the Taifu, you and I are also in conflict, and it will only make the Crown Prince unable to adapt."

"I think so too." Shen Xi nodded, "And why did the emperor suddenly ask me to be a tutor? I always feel that there are other reasons for it. I don't want to get to the bottom of it, let alone know. It would be better to simply refuse."

"Ziyuan, what you said is very true." Lu Jufeng didn't dare to fathom the holy meaning, one more thing is worse than one less thing.

Sun Moyao nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, going to be the prince's tutor is thankless, and when Ziyuan can't get in and out, who should I cry to?"

Shen Xi looked at him with a smile, "Will you cry?"

"Believe it or not, I'm just now..."

But seeing Lu Jufeng was there, the two stopped joking.Shen Xi said again, "No matter what, I will trouble you in the future."

Lu Jufeng shook his head, "What is this? How can your affairs be troublesome to me?"

Shen Xi reached out and poured him a cup of tea, "Then did the emperor convince the queen in the end?"

Lu Jufeng said, "I don't know, I was still arguing when I left the palace."

Holding his teacup, Sun Moyao said calmly, "If the emperor can't go on inspection, then he has to let me go."

Shen Xi glanced at him, "Can such a beautiful thing happen?"

Lu Jufeng sighed and said: "Although the emperor's anger has dissipated now, he is still very afraid of the prince. He is afraid that if he can invite the emperor away this time, when he comes back and sees the prince, he will not be able to let go of it."

Sun Moyao said anxiously: "He can't let go of his heart, why should I waste my whole life coaxing him? If the emperor continues to make trouble like this, don't force me..."

Shen Xi coughed dryly twice, but he wasn't afraid that he would really say what he said, but this is the emperor's territory after all, and there are many people.

The prince also understood what Shen Xi meant, and quickly shut up.

Shen Xi didn't care what the prince said just now, he just said: "The emperor told us to live here and not to leave the capital, isn't it that we are not even allowed to move around in the capital?"

"That's not enough." Lu Jufeng said, "If you are really put under house arrest in this small mansion, the emperor himself will feel very sorry."

Sun Moyao muttered softly, "Will he know?"

Lu Jufeng nodded, "In short, the prince and Ziyuan are living here for the time being. If you want to go out, just bring a few palace servants with you. I don't think the emperor will really do anything excessive to you, so please rest assured. "

Shen Xi said, "Thank you."

"Thank you." Lu Jufeng smiled, "It's getting late today, if there is any news later, I'll let you know."

After saying that, Lu Jufeng stood up and wanted to leave.Shen Xi hurriedly followed, and said: "Suibai, you can find someone to bring a message to us, and let you run away personally, it's too tiring."

"It's okay." Lu Jufeng raised his hand, "It's good for you to rest, after such a day and night, you should be tired enough."

"Where is this?" Shen Xi said, "My lord and I have slept for most of the day today, how about you?"

Lu Jufeng smiled and said, "Are you still worried about me? Now I'm going back home to rest."

Shen Xi laughed, "Sui Bai, go slowly."

Lu Jufeng turned around and saluted the prince, "Your prince, stay here, there is no need to see him off."

The two of them just watched Lu Jufeng leave, climbed into the carriage at the door, heard the sound of the horse's hooves fading away, and then they turned and went back to the house.

Sun Moyao consciously put his arms around Shen Xi's shoulders, and then said: "Listening to what the prime minister said, I think it's too late for the emperor to appease the queen recently, and maybe he doesn't have the heart to take care of us at all. Take a good rest tonight. Let's go for a walk tomorrow. Da Jingcheng, as long as I’m with you, it doesn’t matter if I stay in the capital, I just told you, old age!”

"My lord is so interested?" Shen Xi turned to look at him.

Sun Moyao chuckled, "Before I was so busy that I didn't really think about how to live with you. Now that things have happened to this situation, the two of us will obediently be the emperor's "captives". Let's put this shit aside! We don't care about it!"

Hearing what the prince said, Shen Xi actually thought the same in his heart. Didn't they think enough about the emperor?But now they are the "captives" of the emperor, indeed many things should not be considered and worried by the captives.

All of a sudden, Shen Xi felt that the heavy burden on his shoulders disappeared, and he felt very relaxed and very comfortable.

"My lord is absolutely right. Just listen to the prime minister if you have anything to say. We really don't have to worry about it so much now!" Shen Xi nodded and poohed on the ground as if venting his anger, "Wait for the emperor to issue an order to call After I enter the palace as the Taifu, I will think about the future!"

"Your attitude is too right!" The prince laughed, he turned and closed the door, lowered his head and kissed the corner of Shen Xi's mouth lightly, "The bed prepared for us by the emperor's son is quite soft, tonight... "

Shen Xi pushed the prince's shoulder, "I'm tired tonight, tomorrow night..."

Sun Moyao kissed his lips fiercely, "That's the deal!"

Shen Xi looked at him, smiled and shook his head.

However, both of them were really tired. Even though they had slept for most of the day today, they still yawned and climbed into bed.

And Sun Moyao still said there before going to bed, "Tomorrow I will show you around the capital. I haven't been here for so many years. I don't know if some places have changed."

Shen Xi thought in his heart, in terms of the time he spent in the capital, he should have been longer than the prince.Back then, the prince stayed in the palace when he was young, and there was no reason to run out of the palace at ordinary times. Why does he seem to be doing his best to be a landlord? Did he come to the capital before he knew it?

After thinking about it, he himself fell asleep first.

Seeing that Shen Xi was fast asleep, Sun Moyao reached out to hug him into his arms, with a smile on his face, and then closed his eyes.
