East Palace.
Nuobao and Mu Junze sat opposite each other.
A cup of hot tea was placed in front of both of them.
"Brother Prince, what do you want to say?"
Nuobao happened to be thirsty, so he picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
As a result, I accidentally got burned. I stuck out my little tongue and kept fanning it with my little hands.
The words Mu Junze had just planned were interrupted.
Seeing Nuobao being burned to the point of tears, I felt a little funny again.
At first, he thought that although Nuobao was young, he must be very capable.
Only then could her father treat her with special attention and love her more.
Now it seems that this is not the case...
Probably because Nuobao is silly and doesn't look very smart.
He is the rare person in this palace who is not so thoughtful.
Even Mu Junze couldn't help but gradually relax when getting along with the little guy...
In front of Nuobao, you can easily be yourself, you don't have to worry about your words and deeds, you have to think twice about everything you say.
Maybe it's because of this that the father dotes on Nuobao so much.
This probably means that fools are blessed.
Mu Junze poured Nuobao a glass of cold water while thinking about it.
The cute Nuobao didn't know it yet, but after meeting her twice, the prince brother could see that she was a little fool who wasn't very smart.
The little guy gurgled down a glass of cold water.
Only then did the sore tip of my tongue feel much better.
Nuobao angrily pushed the steaming cup of tea away.
I was so angry that I stopped drinking.
Mu Junze twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling both amused and helpless.
He turned around and ordered his attendants to prepare some iced watermelon.
When Nuobao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The chilled watermelon is slightly cool. Eating a piece of it in this hot summer will not only quench your thirst.
While Nuo Bao was munching on the watermelon, he listened carefully to the prince's brother telling his secrets.
"The queen mother has some misunderstandings about me, so she has never wanted to see me."
Mu Junze's eyes dimmed, "Nuobao, are you willing to help me? Solve the misunderstanding between my mother and myself."
"What misunderstanding?" Nuobao spat out the watermelon seeds in his mouth.
The little guy naturally saw that there was an invisible barrier between the queen and the prince.
They are obviously mother and son, but their relationship is strange and cold.
Could it be related to the misunderstanding mentioned by the prince's brother?
"Brother Prince, did you do something wrong to make the Queen Mother angry?"
"So be it."
Mu Junze's eyes were deep, his eyelids were slightly lowered, his expression was unclear.
"Back then, my mother was pregnant with a child. If the child could be born safely, it should be my sister..."
Nuobao was nibbling, then suddenly stopped, suddenly raised his head, and looked at him with big eyes.
I didn’t expect that eating melon would actually happen to me.
According to the prince's brother, there seems to be something going on here that Nuo Bao doesn't know about...
Nuobao suddenly felt that the melon in his hand was no longer sweet.
"Then what?"
The little guy couldn't help but urge.
Mu Junze gently rubbed the tea cup with his fingertips, and then said eloquently——
When the queen was pregnant, she was unhappy for a period of time, and her reaction was particularly severe. She had no appetite at all, and she lost a lot of weight.
To show his filial piety, the prince made some appetizing sour crab cakes and sent them over.
The queen had no appetite at first, but out of the prince's filial piety, she couldn't bear to let him down, so she managed to eat a few pieces of sour cake.
Unexpectedly, this plate of sour crab cake was tampered with.
At that time, the prince also ate those sour crab cakes, but nothing happened.
The queen vomited blood and was poisoned not long after eating. Her life was in danger, almost killing two people.
It was later found out that the amount of poison contained in those sour cakes was not large, but it conflicted with the anti-fetal drugs used by the queen at that time, forming another highly toxic form.
This resulted in the prince being safe, but the queen was almost killed.
Although the queen's life was saved in the end, the child in her belly was not.
Nuobao's cat eyes widened.
She remembered it.
At that time, Nuobao was in the Queen Mother's belly and had no consciousness of her own.
The poisoned sour cake sent Nuo Bao away directly.
This caused her to fail in reincarnation again.
At the beginning, it was difficult to save the queen's life. It was Nuo Bao who used his spiritual power to save the queen's mother.
Later, seeing that the queen was immersed in pain and unable to come out, Nuobao entered the queen's dream...
"Brother Prince, have you poisoned me?"
As soon as he asked this question, Nuobao almost bit his tongue.
How could it be the prince's brother...
If it was really him who poisoned me, I wouldn't have said this to Nuobao today.
Nuobao covered his mouth with his hand, annoyance showing in his eyes.
Just when the little guy was upset because he said the wrong thing.
Mu Junze just smiled silently, without any displeasure on his face.
"If I say no, do you believe me?"
Mu Junze just said it casually, not expecting to get any answer from Nuo Bao.
After all, even the queen didn't believe him.
"I believe it!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Nuobao's clear and loud voice, ringing like a silver bell.
"I believe you, Brother Prince."
Mu Junze was startled, raised his eyes and looked over, looking into Nuobao's big, watery black grape eyes.
His eyes were clear and pure, full of sincerity.
Mu Junze was deeply moved, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"The poison is indeed not from me, but from the people around me."
There is a mole beside him, and he is also Mu Junze's most trusted confidant.
Even though he dealt with the confidant immediately after the incident, the queen still became suspicious of him.
During that time, some thoughtful people used this matter to make a fuss.
Rumors spread secretly that he could not tolerate the child in the queen's belly, so he killed her.
Even though Mu Junze later confirmed that the incident had nothing to do with him.
But this incident still caused a rift in their relationship between mother and son.
Especially later, in order to appease the queen, Mu Han named Mu Junze the prince.
This seemed to deepen his suspicion, stepping on the bones of his brother's siblings.
Mu Junze didn't know if the queen mother still doubted him.
But he knew that the queen mother had been resenting him in her heart.
After all, that plate of hawthorn cake was made by him.
Or maybe it was because every time the queen saw him, she would think of her unborn child, so she didn't want to see the prince.
"Later, I heard from Aunt Gui that the child entrusted her mother with a dream and was a lovely little princess."
Mu Junze smiled mockingly, "I am sorry for that child."
If he hadn't given away the plate of hawthorn cake, or he could have identified the mole around him sooner.
The thieves behind the scenes will not be allowed to take advantage of it.
"If that child has a soul in heaven, he should also blame me..."
"No!" Nuobao's voice was clear and loud, full of certainty.
"She won't blame you, Brother Prince, this is not your fault."
All the mistakes are the fault of the real culprit behind the scenes.
Mu Junze's eyes were startled, with a complicated expression, "It's not my fault..."
In all these years, no one had ever said this to him.
Even his biological mother complained about him and did not want to see her.
But Nuobao said that it was not his fault.
"Yes!" Nuobao nodded vigorously.
She stretched out her soft little hand, held the prince's hand, and said seriously:
"Dad said that if people want to live a better life, they can't always embarrass themselves and learn to blame others."
