Chapter 46
Shao Guan was tightly held in his arms, and with his eyes closed, he felt that light kiss on his brow, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
"...Let's get down to business first, shall we?"
The clear voice was a little hoarse, Shao Guan felt his cheeks were terribly hot after he finished speaking, his peach blossom eyes opened a little hesitantly, just in time to meet the playful smile on the corner of Murong Xing's lips.
"Isn't the minister always talking about business with His Highness?"
Murong Xing gave a low laugh, touched the young man's blushing cheek with the back of his hand, and said seriously: "Okay, let's talk about the business first."
"Yang Ling's commander-in-chief's edict has also been received. Don't worry, Your Highness, the minister will order someone to monitor him."
"With the prestige of the Marquis of Pingxi in the army, if Yang Ling dares to take this opportunity to make changes, I will definitely not let him go."
"But the soldier talisman is in Yang Ling's hands after all..." Shao Guan took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.The young man thought for a moment, then asked softly, "I will immediately go to the palace to ask my father for an order to change the coach, what do you think?"
"Your Highness, it is already a kindness for His Majesty to allow his minister to go to the front line again as a lieutenant general. If His Highness asks His Majesty to change the commander-in-chief again, I am afraid that His Majesty will be annoyed."
Shao Guan raised his hand to signal Murong Xing to sit down, the joy in his eyes had faded a little, and now he was full of worry and helplessness.
"I don't know what Yang Ling said to his father, but his father would really hand over the military power to a civil servant!"
"If it wasn't for rebirth, His Highness wouldn't doubt Yang Ling, would he? He is the son of the prime minister and the youngest Tanhualang in my dynasty. It is almost a certainty that he will be appointed as a marquis and prime minister in the future... Your Majesty naturally trusts him a lot. "
Shao Guan sighed softly, his eyes fell on the open space in the courtyard far away through the dense mist of the teacup on the side.
"Actually, why did the emperor choose Yang Ling as the coach? Gu has also guessed, but..."
"It's just that His Highness doesn't want to accept such speculation in his heart, does he?"
Murong Xing looked sideways at Shao Guan, under the cold light in his long and narrow phoenix eyes, there was a hint of sadness.
"Although His Majesty has decreed that I am not guilty of the case of collusion with the enemy and treason that I was involved in, I must have a grudge against the Pingxihou Mansion in my heart."
"Whether it's the fourth prince or His Highness, in His Majesty's opinion, they have already revealed the idea of wanting to control the military power. In addition to the fact that so many generals have requested to retry the case, His Majesty may feel that he is holding The military power is no longer stable."
"As for Yang Ling, a young talent and the eldest son of the prime minister, although he is the servant of the fourth prince, he has always been modest and polite, and never involved in party disputes. The most important thing is that he doesn't know the art of war and has no influence in the army, so it's easy to handle many."
"It's not surprising that His Majesty chose him as the commander-in-chief. It's just to prevent the generals from becoming too powerful in the army and making great achievements."
"I just didn't expect that the father would doubt his own son."
Shao Guan smiled wryly, his dark eyes dimmed a little.
"My father, who used to hold me in the imperial garden, watch koi, and play on the swings, now suspects that I will take the opportunity to seize military power."
Murong Xing looked out following Shao Guan's line of sight. The courtyard of the East Palace was designed by Emperor Liang himself for his son, and he had visited it many times.
It was only after Shao Guan stepped into the court and had a different view with him on some government affairs that Emperor Liang never came to the East Palace in person again.
The deep phoenix eyes just looked at the scenery in the courtyard lightly, without any disturbance.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard that as long as you sit on the ninety-five supreme position, all your emotions will give way to power."
"The emperors of all dynasties, those who have a good start are really prosperous, and those who can overcome the end are few. This is probably the reason."
Shao Guan's body trembled, and he looked away suddenly, his peach blossom eyes met Murong Xing's directly.
"If it really comes to such a day, when there is so much power, but there is no one who can tell his heart, this dragon chair will be no different from a prison cage, right?"
"You'll always be with me, won't you?"
Shao Guan stared at Murong Xing's handsome face, and continued talking without waiting for his answer.
"If you live up to it, I will not change my mind..."
A piece of cool and hazy moonlight shrouded the bed in the bedroom like a layer of veil.
Murong Xing heard the steady and gentle breathing of the boy in his arms, and slowly opened his eyes.
The young man next to him who had just bathed was wearing only a single piece of clothing loosely, his figure was thin and thin, like Xiuzhu after the rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
The black hair as black as a crow's feathers was loosely draped over the shoulders, the lips like peach petals were slightly pursed, and the black hair set off the fair face, making him look extremely tired.
Murong Xing's gaze flicked over the young man's eyebrows inch by inch, and his breathing became heavier unconsciously. He moved his body slightly, and leaned against the edge of the bed, barely stopping the deep and dark look in his eyes.
There is some confusion in my mind, sometimes it is the warm smile of the young man, and sometimes it is the deep chill brought by various plots and calculations.
It wasn't until the person in his arms snorted softly that he came back to his senses and skillfully tucked the brocade quilt behind Shao Guan.
"What's the matter, does your Highness feel cold?"
Shao Guan's eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't even lift them up, he leaned towards Murong Xing instinctively, his voice was low and hoarse: "Bedding...have you changed it?"
"It's been changed." The complicated look in Murong Xing's eyes, after seeing Shao Guan's troubled and somewhat childish face, was filled with love and affection for a moment.
"Tomorrow morning before Dongjiu comes over, I will wash the bedding and go back to the side hall."
"Don't... It's not like Dongjiu doesn't know, what are you going back for?"
After Shao Guan finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then opened his eyes slightly, as if remembering that the present is not the past.
"Then I will wake up Your Highness tomorrow morning and tell Dong Jiu not to come in."
Murong Xing's thin lips curled slightly, his gaze swept across the young man's reddish eartips indistinctly, coaxing in a low voice.
"Sleep when you're sleepy. The minister has been here to accompany His Highness, always."
"En." Shao Guan closed his eyes obediently, sniffing the delicious cold fragrance from Murong Xing, and just turned his side, suddenly his eyebrows furrowed.
"What's the matter? Is...does it still hurt?"
Shao Guan closed his eyes tightly, trying not to pay attention to the smile in Murong Xing's deep voice, and covered his waist with the young dry and warm hands.
"It doesn't hurt, it's just a little sour... rub it for me."
Murong Xing tightly hugged Shao Guan's hand, suddenly stood up halfway, and whispered in Shao Guan's ear, "Your Highness, don't pester me for ointment tomorrow..."
"...If you trouble me again, you can go back to Piandian to sleep!" Shao Guan's face flashed a trace of embarrassment, and finally he pursed his lips, reluctantly, "I'm sleepy...don't bother me, okay? "
