Chapter 18: The Thirteen Princes
The palace is a little deep, and how many beautiful tears are buried.
A large and magnificent palace from a distance is very conspicuous in the buildings, but if you get closer, you will find that this palace is very dilapidated, the eaves are covered with cobwebs, the beams and pillars are red painted, revealing layers of wood that will be broken at the touch of a layer, and the weeds outside the hall are overgrown, which is more cold than the cold palace, and if there is any, no one will live here.
"Ahem."
Liu Mu woke up from the wooden bed in the hall with only a thin quilt, and a memory that did not belong to him appeared in his mind.
The owner of his body is named Nan Si, a dynasty that does not exist in history, the thirteenth prince of the Southern Kingdom, and his biological mother is Wu Jiao, the eldest princess of the martial kingdom.
It stands to reason that with Nansi's status as a foreigner, Nan Si will not live so miserably, but the bad thing is that Nan Si's father, Nan Ping, the third prince who was once not taken seriously, has been a proton in Wuguo, and his life is difficult, and being bullied and abused is commonplace.
Later, he was able to get out of this bad situation by deceiving Wu Jiao, the pearl of Wu Guo, and finally coaxed the much-loved Wu Jiao to help him ask for Wu Guo's help and return to China to win the throne.
Perhaps people in the world, both men and women, who have been helped by noble people to get out of trouble or make a fortune when they are down, will not be grateful to the person who helped him, but will regard him as a witness to humiliation, like a fish in the throat, eager to get rid of him as soon as possible, so that he will disappear forever.
The same is true of Nanping, he was hindered by the fact that the strength of the southern kingdom was weaker than that of the martial state, and at the same time he ascended the throne as the emperor, he canonized Wu Jiao as the queen, and then ignored it, and even Nan Si was born after he was drunk and mistakenly regarded the queen's palace as a favorite concubine.
And Wu Jiao, like all infatuated women, thinks that Nanping will one day change her mind and realize her goodness, especially after she is pregnant with Nansi.
However, it is more practical to hope that the scum will turn back than to pray for a turn back in time, so that he can avoid meeting the scum or killing him when he sees him, Wu Jiao did not see Nanping again until the day he died,
"It's such a fool to make such a mess of yourself for love."
A sneer appeared on Liu Mu's face, he had always scoffed at these people who gave everything for the sake of someone who didn't love him at all, thinking they were stupid.
But as soon as this sarcastic words came out, a tingling pain came from his brain, and pictures of Wu Jiao and Nan Si getting along appeared, the soft-spoken ballads of childhood, the earnest teaching of childhood, careful care and reluctance to give up when he was about to die, and repeatedly advised.
"Oh, a fool of love, a competent mother?!"
Liu Mu's disgust for Wu Jiao decreased, because he remembered his mother, although his mother Wang Zhiyu did not accompany him as long as Wu Jiao accompanied Nan Si, but in his vague memory, the heroic and sassy woman who did not let the bright woman with the eyebrows always call him gently and gently with his handsome father Liu Zhan and coax him to sleep.
"Trial mission, to ensure that you survive the next battle for the throne, and obtain the fiefdom of the king, failure will be death in reality."
A mechanical voice interrupted Liu Mu's memories, and he began to organize his thoughts.
"Although it sounds difficult to survive the scuffle for the throne, with Nansi's embarrassing identity and his current difficult situation and his strength that he can't succeed and martial arts, no one should regard him as a competitor, so as long as I follow Wu Jiao's will as a salted fish as he does now, I can pass the trial safely!?"
"How can there be such a good thing, since it is a core trial, it will definitely not be so easy to pass, and it is very likely that there will be various emergencies that will push me to the front of the stage and let me join the Shura field of the throne competition."
Liu Mu decided to take becoming the emperor as the first goal, and planned for this to accumulate strength to deal with emergencies that may arise at any time.
However, the reason why he made such a decision was largely not just to pass the trial, but for his own reasons, he finally came to an ancient dynasty, and how could he be right in the battle for imperial power without thrilling and exciting, he Liu Da Shao was not an obedient and at the mercy of others.
"Your Highness the Thirteenth, I'm Zi, can I come in?"
A crisp and pleasant young man's voice sounded outside the door, and memories of him appeared in Liu Mu's mind.
Purple is Nansi's companion, although he is the son of one of the Seven Heavenly Pillars of the Southern Kingdom, he was only an inconspicuous member of his three hundred sons when he was a child, otherwise he would not have been assigned to Nansi.
"Come in!"
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man wearing a purple crown, a white robe, and white armor walked in, carrying two large bags of things in his left and right hands, which really did not match his heroic temperament.
"Your Highness, have you ever felt better?"
Liu Mu glanced at him and didn't answer, it wasn't that Liu Mu pretended to be cold, but that Nan Si was already silent, and he obeyed his mother's last words, so he never got close to anyone, even Zi, who had always taken good care of him.
"I see that His Royal Highness's face is no longer as pale as before, and I think it is much better, which shows that the prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor He is effective, Your Highness must not play a childlike like before, and secretly throw away the medicine while I am not there."
"There are also some snacks I bought here, and Your Highness can take them with medicine."
Obviously, Zi was used to Nansi's attitude, and while opening the package, she loaded things into the wooden cabinet, like an old mother taking care of children.
Liu Mu still didn't reply, after all, Dewu Nansi's character is not a person, and it will arouse suspicion if he suddenly behaves too enthusiastically.
Phew.
Zi began to clean the house, "Your Highness, I will go out again tomorrow, if I return victorious in this battle, my combat achievements will be enough for me to become the new Seven Heavenly Pillars, and then I will definitely make a statement to Your Majesty, so that he can give you the treatment of a normal prince." ”
Seeing that Zi was thinking about this for himself, Liu Mu felt that no matter how much he let Zi talk to himself every time like Nansi, he was not worthy of being a person.
What's more, he, Liu Dashao, is not a cowardly person like Nansi.
Liu Mu's brain was running rapidly, and he wanted to chat with Zi about something close.
Don't say it, you really come up with one for him, "How are things going with you and Kite?" ”
Zi, who was about to leave after cleaning the house, heard Liu Mu's question, his young and handsome face was mixed with surprise and a hint of astringency, and he took out a necklace made of seventeen gemstones of different colors, "I have already thought about it, when I get the most prestigious ruby of the Qiang tribe this time, and make up eighteen necklaces, I will ask the kite." ”
"Young man, don't set up a flag easily!"
Liu Mu was worried about the love between Zi and Kite.
Of course, he is not completely superstitious about the law of flag, but the two people are brother and sister in name, and their mothers were forcibly robbed into the house because of their beauty, but Purple was born, and Kite was born to her mother and her husband who had long since died.
However, with the behavior and moral code of the southern country and even the world in which Liu Mu is now located, the love between these two people does not deserve to be blessed and is not allowed to happen.
"Really?! Then I'll congratulate you first, but be careful, whether it's you or the kite. ”
"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Your Highness, I and the kite will be careful."
"Your Highness, when I return victorious, can you please attend my wedding with Kite?"
Liu Mu nodded, and Zi left contentedly like a child with candy.
And not long after Zi left, Liu Mu simply ate some food he brought, and also went out, not knowing where to go and what to do.
