"You look for me"
Xuanyuanche's prince's mansion should not be too familiar to Mu Chi, because he is leaving tonight, so he came directly after receiving the message from the servant.
The man was dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe and stood with his hands behind his back. Unlike the prince who usually stood high in the palace, he was now in his own mansion, wearing simple ordinary clothes, and looked approachable.
Xuanyuan Che's eyes flickered when he saw the young man who had been paralyzed on the couch without bones as soon as he arrived, and then threw a delicate small jar over. He sniffed at the tip of his nose, and then his beautiful eyes lit up, "Good wine, it's at least fifty years old, where did you get it?"
Mu Chi was an alcoholic by nature. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he had the capacity to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. One can imagine how many years he had been drinking.
"A friend gave it a long time ago, and I have kept it for many years." Xuanyuan Che replied in a warm voice.
Hearing this, Mu Chi's eyes suddenly became fierce, and his expression was extremely angry, "Okay, I have such a good wine to share, but I kept it privately, so I'm not a brother anymore."
The young man looked as if he had been deceived, Xuanyuan Che just glanced at him lightly, and said slowly, "This wine was originally reserved for you, but when I wanted to share it, you had already disappeared and left .”
He left without even saying hello.
Mu Chi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled, without speaking, he pulled out the cork from the wine jar with his slender fingers, and immediately the strong aroma of wine filled the whole room.
"Well, it's really good wine." Mu Chi praised, then picked up the glass on the table and poured out two glasses, "Taste"
Xuanyuan Che walked over, sat down, watched the young man drink the whole glass of wine like a cow, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he just took a shallow sip.
Looking at his movements, Mu Chi couldn't help but sneered, "You are still so self-disciplined, but compared to the previous abstinence from alcohol, you have improved a lot."
"Achi, you know what I want to ask." Xuanyuan Che put down his glass and said calmly.
Mu Chi shook his head and poured himself another glass, "It's all in the past, what are you still worrying about, I'll put it down." Just as he was about to drink it all down, a big hand suddenly pressed his hand .
"Have you let it go, have you really let it go?" Xuanyuan Che knew that this was his usual style, because he didn't want to face it, so he always avoided the topic.
"If you really let go, how could you be so attached to me?" Xuanyuan Che hooked his lips, as if a little mocking, "Do you know what you were like in the past? You always put your emotions on your face When I was angry, I would lose my temper angrily at me, but now, you seem to be the same as all those people who pretend to be false, always with a casual smile on your face."
Mu Chi paused for a moment, then hooked his lips and smiled, "Is this not good? I used to be too young and impulsive."
"What happened back then"
Xuanyuan Che pressed his hand tight unconsciously, he was eager to know why everything changed when he came back after he went to take the entrance test of Piao Miao Sect.
Ah Chi's mother is the most noble imperial concubine under the empress, why was she found committing suicide in the bedroom
And why did the emperor put such a heavy hand on Ah Chi, who was not yet ten years old
Such a small child was beaten with fifty lashes. Every time the barbed whip was hit, a trace of flesh and blood would be cut off. How did he get it
He only remembered that when he returned to the palace, the bright red bloodstains spread far away along the hall, and it took a long time for the palace people to wipe the bloodstains on the ground.
He was shocked by this scene, he didn't know how much blood A Chi had bled, all he knew was that the blood all over the ground was from A Chi, whom he valued the most.
According to the people in the palace, the sixth prince left after finishing his sentence.
The small body moved towards the outside of the palace step by step with difficulty and slowly, probably due to the serious injury, it would stagger and fall down after walking too far, then stood up and walked outside, in the end, it was almost crawling leaving the palace.
He could imagine the scene just by listening to it, how much pain Ah Chi had at that time, and what kind of mentality he had to leave the place where he grew up.
His mother and concubine who loved him so much died overnight, and even his father and emperor abandoned him.
Whenever Xuanyuan Che thought of what Mu Chi had experienced at that time, his uncomfortable bones ached.
Mu Chi looked at Xuanyuan Che's gloomy face and serious eyes, and after a while he broke away helplessly from his hand, drank the wine and said, "It's been ten years since you called me here to ask about this matter, and how many years have passed? Why do you ask those old sesame seeds and rotten millet, are we still good brothers if we are different?"
"You're lying." Xuanyuan Che's eyes turned cold, "You hate me, don't you?"
He did not forget that when they met for the last time that year, Mu Chi's eyes, which always loved to smile, showed an undisguised killing intent. Although it was fleeting, he still caught it.
Probably because he has been with him for a long time, and he is the person he cares about, so Xuanyuan Che still remembers his look.
But obviously they used to be so good. In the huge palace, there are so many princes and princesses, but only the two of them can talk. This is also a kind of hidden fate.
This mystery has troubled Xuanyuan Che for many years, and it is still a knot in his heart.
"Brother, there are some things that you really don't need to get to the bottom of it." Mu Chi said in a low voice, "This time is also at your invitation, so I will step into that place again, but there won't be a second time. "
"Why did the royal father get so angry and depose your royal status, as well as your mother and concubine?"
"Xuanyuan Che, I told you not to ask any more questions, don't you understand?"
Finally, the lax smile no longer hung on the young man's face, and he spoke in a faint voice, looking at him with cold eyes.
"Unless you tell me." Xuanyuan Che frowned, and said very persistently.
He didn't want there to be a gap between the two forever, and he didn't want the boy to always face him with that perfunctory smiling face.
After a long period of silence, Mu Chi finally stood up from the soft couch. His slender body stood there straight, making the air suddenly oppressive.
"What do you want to know?" The young man approached him, and his plump red lips parted slightly, "Why did my concubine commit suicide? Because her scandal was discovered, the dignified imperial concubine of a country couldn't bear to be lonely during her pregnancy. Having an affair with a wild man resulted in a miscarriage, in order not to shame Xuanyuan Ao, the king of the country, besides dragging her dilapidated body to commit suicide, is there any better solution?"
"What did you say?" Xuanyuan Che's eyes widened, and he took a step back in disbelief, "How is it possible for the imperial concubine?"
That beautiful and noble woman is already in such a high position, and she is pregnant with such a glorious thing as a royal heir. She should take good care of the child in her womb. How could she do such an outrageous act of having an affair with another man? No matter how you look at it, there is something strange about it.
Seeing his unbelievable look, Mu Chi hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, "You asked me why I was deposed as a prince and was tortured, of course it was the wise and mighty emperor who thought that my mother Since the concubine dared to do such a lowly thing, maybe even I was a bastard born to some wild man. Regardless of my grandfather's age, he knelt outside the hall and begged him to forgive me, and he was not even willing to shed blood Recognize relatives to prove my life experience."
Speaking of this, Mu Chi laughed suddenly, his handsome face slowly approached, and Xuanyuan Che who was close could clearly see the reflection of himself in the young man's clear eyes, and the shallow breathing followed by Mu Chi. Chi opened his mouth softly, and sprayed it on Xuanyuan Che's cheeks.
"I hate you, yes, how many times I almost couldn't control myself and wanted to kill you."
The young man's beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to speak were instantly stained with the killing intent that he was familiar with.
"All of this was caused by your mother, that gentle and virtuous queen." Mu Chi said each word with endless sarcasm, "It's ridiculous that my mother has treated her like a sister for so many years. Just because the imperial doctor diagnosed that she is pregnant with another prince, and because those people are spreading rumors, I am the one who has the most ability to compete with you for the crown prince."
Mu Chi not only hated the queen, but also Xuanyuan Che, the person he hated the most was himself.
He shouldn't have shown his talent, he shouldn't have gotten close to Xuanyuan Che, and he shouldn't have always competed with Xuanyuan Che in everything, making the empress jealous, thus harming his mother who was mutilated before he was born. Little brother, he hurt his mother and concubine who had always loved him so much.
"I don't believe it." Xuanyuan Che pushed him away fiercely, "How could the queen mother do such a thing?"
"Oh, believe it or not, it's up to you." Mu Chi pulled his lips, "Why do you think she has been unable to sleep for so many years, eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha? It's all because she killed two people alive. My mother Concubine, and my younger brother who never came to this world, will come to her every night to complain and ask for his life."
"Although the Mu family is a family of refining medicine, my mother and concubine were not only excellent in medical skills, but also a soul master. If the resentment persists before death, she will always pester the person who harmed her." Mu Chi said slowly.
He looked at Xuanyuan Che's dazed look as if he had been greatly shocked, curled his lips, picked up the wine jar with one hand, raised his head and took a big gulp, and casually wiped the wine that flowed out with his sleeves. Stepped out.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he paused, and said lightly, "I know this matter has nothing to do with you, it's just a matter of the past, and I will never forget it, so Xuanyuan Che, I didn't want to mention it again, Now that it’s out of the way, let’s just leave it at that, we’re probably destined not to be brothers, and we’ll just be strangers in the future.”
After saying that, the slender body gradually went away.
Stranger
Oh, don't think about it.
A gloomy look flashed across the man's gentle and elegant face, and the exquisite wine glass in his hand suddenly shattered into powder with a soft sound.
