The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

Chapter 145

"Four words."

Unable to understand what the other party said for a while, Song Zichen frowned in amazement, hesitated for a moment before asking again: "What?"

"He knew he was wrong, four words."

Peng Feigui responded solemnly, leaned back, and shook his head with a wry smile: "My lord, you are indeed right to be angry, but what can you do if you get angry again? After all, he is your father, our royal father. emperor……"

"Of course I know I can't do anything, but I'm always qualified to stop doing what I should do as a minister and a son."

Song Zichen's voice was low, and his gaze gradually cooled down. He turned around and said coldly, "Feigui, you should understand my thoughts best, don't tell me—you came here today to be a lobbyist... "

"Not sure - it's not that I came here to be a lobbyist, but the emperor asked me to be a lobbyist."

Peng Feigui tilted his head helplessly, but he was not afraid of the cold air all over his body. He sighed helplessly and said: "The emperor said, it doesn't matter whether you listen or not, as long as I bring the words to you. If you don't listen , he will ask someone else to bring you a message."

"It seems that my palace is not closed tightly enough."

Song Zichen murmured in a low voice, and didn't say any more. He just walked slowly to the window, and sighed very lightly: "Father is like this—it's really boring. If I were a few years younger, I would see you when I was ignorant." I am afraid that I will still feel moved, but now that I see you, I feel tired and ridiculous..."

"My lord is only so old now, why does he speak in such an old-fashioned way?"

Seeing his indifferent expression, Peng Feigui seemed to realize that things were not as simple as expected, and wanted to ask what happened, but he didn't know how to speak, so he sighed softly after a while : "Anyway, don't always confront the emperor. The emperor has a very weird temper. If you ask him to owe you at the beginning, he will try every means to make up for it. But if he owes too much, he will feel that he can't afford it. I would wish to drive you far away, so that I can never see you again. It’s fine for you to be alone, but after all, Mu Qiu is no more restrained than you, so I can’t ask him to follow you in.”

"you're right……"

After being pointed out by his words, Song Zichen was horrified, and suddenly remembered that Mu Qiu had said similar things to him before.But he was too resistant to this matter, and Mu Qiu probably saw his attitude, and was afraid that any further persuasion would be counterproductive, so he didn't say anything later, but he couldn't ask Mu Qiu to let him go because of his temporary temper. What an irreparable price to pay.

But——still not reconciled.

Thinking of the person who can only lie on the couch now, Song Zichen felt a severe pain in his heart.Mu Qiu was originally supposed to be free, and he should never be attached to anyone, but was pointed out by his father involuntarily.Did Emperor Father really not know about Song Zixuan's persecution and bullying of Mu Qiu in those years?Wasn't it because of distance and estrangement, because Song Zixuan was the biological son of Mu Qiu's adoptive father, so he repeatedly wronged Mu Qiu, no matter what happened, Mu Qiu had to grit his teeth and bear it... Fortunately, at that time, he thought that his father was partial to Mu Qiu, Now it seems that I know that no matter how pampered he is on weekdays, when the time comes when he has to choose, Mu Qiu is undoubtedly the one he can abandon without hesitation in his father's heart.

This realization made him feel even more heartbroken than when he found out that his father treated Mu Qiu better than himself—he was wronged for Mu Qiu, but he had no way to appeal. He felt so sad, but no matter where he went, he couldn't express it.Such a powerlessness made him unable to forgive himself who had never been able to protect Mu Qiu well.

"My lord, don't be impatient. The matter of Mu Qiu is now a hidden danger, but it is still a shield for your lord. Your lord's worry about Mu Qiu cannot be faked, so why not just let this worry be written more intensely?"

Peng Feigui lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at him again, with a resolute look in his eyes, and spoke slowly, word by word.

Song Zichen seemed to be awakened suddenly by his words, but his eyes didn't change in any way, he just looked at him quietly, and his tone sank slightly: "What do you mean?"

"It means—the emperor is a ruthless person. If the emperor doesn't let the emperor see the prince's feelings with his own eyes, he might not believe it."

Peng Feigui looked away from him, clenched his fists slightly and spoke in a hoarse voice.However, Song Zichen took a few steps forward abruptly, and his voice became a little hoarse: "How could it be - he obviously saw everything! At that time, Mu Qiu was almost unable to wake up from poisoning, and he also saw my reaction Yes, but what did he do?! Didn’t he press on every step of the way, didn’t he try to take Mu Qiu away from me—”

"That's because His Highness and Mu Qiu were the closest at that time. When the Emperor and Master Mu went in and out at the same time, the relationship may not be as good as His Highness and Mu Qiu."

Peng Feigui looked up at him, shook his head slightly and said, "In the eyes of the emperor, the deep emotions he had with Master Mu at the beginning will gradually fade away and return to calmness after Master Mu passed away. Then Your Highness - you can do it right now." I got it... This is the real reason why the emperor did these things. It's not that the emperor doesn't believe in your highness' affection, it's just because the emperor is a ruthless person, so he thinks that his highness's affection will also fade away That's all."

Finally he pierced the faint thoughts in his heart, Song Zichen shuddered violently, shook his head with difficulty, only feeling a faint saltiness in his throat: "But—how should I let him know that he and I are not right? the same……"

"Thinking with Mu Qiu's mind, he probably has an idea. It's just that His Highness has been too fragile these days, so he dare not speak rashly to His Highness."

Finally having the courage and opportunity to say all these words, Peng Fei refused to look at Song Zichen's expression, but continued with his head down, "Your Highness thinks that these days are calm enough, but in the eyes of others, His Highness is almost like A taut string will break after a little plucking. Those of us can see that Mu Qiu gets along with His Highness every day, so we will naturally be aware of it... Let me ask the prince, Mu Qiu has always been He will persuade the prince, has he ever persuaded anything these days?"

Song Zichen only felt some cold sweat coming out of his back, gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Never..."

"It's probably like this—Mu Qiu's body is on the verge of limit, but His Highness's heart can't stand the toss anymore. So Mu Qiu doesn't say anything, no matter what the prince does, he just agrees with a smile. , I just want to appease the prince as soon as possible."

Peng Feigui nodded, clenched his hands on the table, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Only when you have actually encountered this kind of thing, you will know how hard it is... I understand your highness's mood at this time, but your highness You must cheer yourself up as soon as possible, and let yourself relax from the tense bowstring as soon as possible. Otherwise, these pressures will be transferred from His Highness to Mu Qiu without a trace..."

"I see... Feigui, thank you."

Song Zichen replied in a low voice, and finally understood where there was something inconsistent these days.He was always holding a sigh of relief in his heart - he didn't know if he was competing with his father, or he was competing with himself who did not protect Mu Qiu well.How much of his strong hatred and resistance to his father was really against his father, and how much he blamed himself for being too incompetent, even he himself may not be able to figure it out clearly.

Having settled his thoughts, he saluted Peng Fei seriously, and then said after a moment of pause: "I still can't answer you now——I have to think about it carefully before discussing it with Mu Qiu. You're right, I am now so competitive, but it is also a kind of pressure on Mu Qiu-he is also worried these days, waiting for me to figure it out..."

"Mu Qiu has a very close relationship with His Highness, there are some things he can't say, we can only find a way to say it."

Only then did Peng Feigui heave a sigh of relief, he mentioned something cryptically, and then got up and exchanged a gift with him: "Your Majesty, you don't need to thank me, I'm just entrusted by others to be loyal. Now that the words have been brought, I also There is nothing to say—Feigui resigns, the prince and Mu Qiu still need to take care of themselves."

"Thanks, I will."

Song Zichen's heart moved slightly, but he still didn't ask any more questions, but just thanked him sincerely.After sending Peng Fei home and leaving, he sat in the study for a long time by himself, seeing that the sky outside had gradually darkened, and the voice of the secret guard came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Young Master Mu has woken up."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Ever since Mu Qiu's accident, Song Zichen hadn't thought about what he should do for a long time.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that a lot of entanglements in my heart were unexplained, and I just hoped to go back to see that person as soon as possible, explain my thoughts to him clearly, and stop asking him to worry about myself.

All the way back to the bedroom, Mu Qiu was sitting up with the help of the hidden guard, and when he saw him enter the door, a soft and gentle smile appeared in his eyes: "Your Highness, you don't have to rely on me every time... I have nothing to do here. It's all about waking up and sleeping, lying on the couch to take care of yourself, if your Highness has anything to do, just take care of it."

"It's nothing, but I was in a daze for a while - my biggest thing is to be with you, how can I do it without you?"

Seeing the familiar gentle smile in those eyes, Song Zichen finally calmed down the last bit of emotion in his heart, and with a relaxed smile, he walked over quickly and took him from the dark guard: "Why? So, did you sleep well, are you thirsty?"

"I slept well, but I just had a dream, and when I woke up, I forgot what the dream was."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and met his eyes curiously: "Your Highness is in a good mood, but is there any happy event?"
