"Your Highness, would you like some porridge?" Mo Ya took the mung bean porridge with a lot of sugar and put it in front of Lu Chenzhang, "I have stewed it for a long time, it is soft and glutinous, and there is a lot of sugar in it."

Lu Chenzhang sat silently, his small body huddled together, as if he didn't hear Mo Xia's words.

Seeing Lu Chenzhang like this, Mo Xia felt even more uncomfortable. He put down the bowl and hugged Lu Chenzhang: "Your Highness, please don't be sad. Your Majesty treats you badly, and you still have me. I will always be with you."

Lu Chenzhang has kept this posture for a whole morning.Until this time, the eyeballs moved, as if he had just realized it, he turned his head to look at Mo Ya, his eyes were red: "Ah Ya, is it true?"

"Of course." Mo Ya nodded heavily, and hugged Lu Chenzhang tighter in his arms: "I will never leave Your Highness."

Lu Chenzhang grabbed Mo Ya's clothes, as if he couldn't figure it out: "Ah Ya, I know he doesn't like me and treats me badly, otherwise he wouldn't let me live alone in Kaiyang Palace, don't hear meAsk. But I think, at least, at least he still has some affection for his mother."

Lu Chenzhang seemed to be unable to continue, his body buried in Mo Xia's arms kept choking and trembling.

Mo Xia waited patiently.

"But I didn't expect that he would make Concubine Qiong his queen. I at least thought that his feelings for my mother were true, but he actually wanted that woman from the Cui family to sit in the position that my mother once sat in."

Mo Ya's heart twitched with Lu Chenzhang's tears, and he regretted it: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you."

Lu Chenzhang buried his head in Mo Ya's arms, his nasal voice was a bit vague: "Ah Ya already knew?"

Mo Xia said, "Yes."

Lu Chenzhang asked again: "When did Ah Ya know?"

Mo Xia patted Lu Chenzhang on the back, followed up one by one: "Do you still remember the question that Master He gave us last time?

Lu Chenzhang said: "Remember, 'I can fish as I want'."

Mo Xia said: "This is the test question of Chunwei from His Majesty. The so-called fish and bear's paw, in His Majesty's mind, refers to Empress Duanming and Concubine Qiong."

"I didn't tell His Highness, but I wanted His Highness to know about it later, so that His Highness would not be so sad. I was wrong." Mo Xia said, "I should have told His Highness at the time, and I shouldn't have kept it from you. I decided on my own.I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Lu Chenzhang was silent.After a long time, he said: "Ah Ya, I really hate him."

"I know. Your Highness hates it, I will accompany His Highness."

Lu Chenzhang said again: "He pretended to be so affectionate towards his mother on the surface, but he didn't care about me. It made everyone think that I was treated coldly because of my mother's death. I have always thought soIt's ridiculous. Now I know that he never loved the queen mother."

Mo Xia struggled for a long time, and finally said: "Your Highness, would you like to hear me tell a story?"

Lu Chenzhang looked up at Mo Ya: "Ah Ya, tell me."

Mo Xia said: "A long time ago, in a very distant place, there lived a happy and wealthy family. This family had a young daughter who looked like a fairy and was very talented. If anyone married her, he could even marry her.Get the inexhaustible wealth of this family."

"In that place, there is another family with greater power. The family with greater power competes fiercely, so there is an unwritten rule among the heirs - whoever marries this woman has hopeBe the head of the family and inherit everything in the family."

"Everyone is trying their best to marry this daughter. There is a young master who is not favored in that powerful family. This young master really wants to be the head of the family. It's a pity that compared to other brothers, heHis mother's background is not high, and his talent is not outstanding. So the only way is to marry this woman and get the support of another family."

Lu Chenzhang trembled slightly.

Mo Xia sighed, patted Lu Chenzhang on the back, and continued.

"This young master is very good at talking, and because he is handsome and unrestrained, he quickly captured the woman's heart. The family does not want the woman to marry this young master, but only wants her to marry an ordinary person. It is good to live a plain and simple life. But the womanBewitched and forced to die, the young master would not marry unless it was the young master. In the end, the two got their wish. The woman married the young master smoothly.The woman's family has won the position of Patriarch."

At this point, Mo Xia paused and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to continue listening to this story?"

Lu Chenzhang trembled while hugging Mo Ya's body, but still stubbornly said: "Listen, Aya, tell me, I want to listen."

Mo Xia continued: "The girl had a very happy time at the beginning. The young master loved her deeply, and the two of them were also in harmony with each other, like glue. Whenever the two of them were mentioned, who would not praise her for their deep love and envy others."

"But what the woman doesn't know is that this young master has someone he likes. Just for the sake of power, he had to give up the childhood sweetheart he really admired, and turned around and married the woman."

He was obviously talking about other people's stories, but Mo Ya's own eyes couldn't help getting slightly moist: "Afterwards, the situation became stable, and no one could compete with the young master for the position of the head of the house. The young master raised his beloved childhood sweetheart as aNoble concubine. Not only that, he even took one concubine after another on the grounds that the woman failed to open up for him. He doesn't care about women at all, he cares about women."

"Seeing the birth of concubines one after another, the woman was anxious and thought of a lot of ways. After many years, the woman finally became pregnant. She was very happy because this was her first child. She thought that she must take good care of her.Protect this child, watch him grow up, and hear him call mother."

Feeling the large swaths of wetness on the clothes, Mo Xia slowly stopped his story.Gently pat Lu Chenzhang on the back.

On the other hand, Lu Chenzhang, after weeping, said to Mo Ya, "Ah Ya, you continue, I don't mind."

Mo Xia couldn't resist Lu Chenzhang, so he had to finish the story: "It's just that what the woman doesn't know is that the husband she loves wholeheartedly has already planned in her heart how to get rid of herself and her family."

"After this young master ascended to the position of Patriarch, he gradually revealed his arrogant and conceited nature. Because he got the support of his wife's family by marrying a woman, he stood out from the crowd of brothers. So as his power became more stable day by day,, he became more and more inferior, and thought it was his own shame. So he wanted to erase this stain as hard as possible."

"It was not easy for the woman to conceive this pregnancy, and she finally survived until eight months. When the woman was about to give birth, the young master made up a crime at random and killed the woman's family. When the woman was giving birth, he made himselfMy childhood sweetheart told the woman that the family was destroyed."

"Frightened, the woman had a miscarriage and died from a bloody collapse. But the young master felt that this was not enough, and he hadn't discovered her full value from the woman. So he made up a reputation of love as deep as the sea for himself, and he loved it too much.The woman didn't want to place the child in a remote courtyard in the name of touching the scene, and ignored it. In this way, he was trapped in his own lies, deceiving the world and himself for the rest of his life."

The story was finished quickly, Lu Chenzhang leaned against Mo Xia's arms, and remained silent.

Lu Chenzhang finally asked: "So the young master only used the woman from the beginning to the end. He didn't love the woman even a little bit, did he?"

Mo Xia said: "Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Chenzhang asked again: "The young master lied to the woman, the woman's family, and the woman's child. If the child wants revenge, it's only right, right?"

Mo Xia said: "Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Chenzhang continued to ask: "If this child does something rebellious in the future, no one will blame him, right?"

Mo Xia said: "Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Chenzhang finally raised his head: "Aya, I don't have a father and a queen. Will I lose you?"

Mo Xia made another promise: "No, Your Highness. I will always be with you."

Lu Chenzhang nestled in Mo Ya's arms: "Ah Ya, I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while."

Mo Ya hugged Lu Chenzhang to the bed: "Sleep, Your Highness."

"Aya, you stay here and guard me, don't leave me, okay?"

Mo Xia said: "Okay, I will always be here with His Highness."

.........

When Mo Xia went out, he was not surprised to see Ah Si who was guarding the door.

Mo Ya nodded slightly towards Ah Si, then walked out of the palace.

"Mr. Mo." Ah Si called Mo Xia to stop.

Mo Ya turned around: "It's really rare that you would take the initiative to stop me."

Ah Si has long been used to Mo Ya's strange yin and yang aura, and he doesn't care about it. He stepped forward a few steps and stared at Mo Ya: "Why did you tell His Highness those things?"

Mo Xia was a little surprised: "Ah Si, Ah Si, I didn't expect you to be a gentleman. Instead of stealing things, you eavesdrop on what others are saying."

Ah Si didn't care about Mo Ya's ridicule, his eyebrows darkened, and he repeated: "Why did you tell His Highness those things?"

Mo Xia hated Ah Si's superior appearance in front of him the most. Hearing this, he sneered, "What does it have to do with you when I talk to His Highness? What is your identity to take care of my affairs."

Ah Si stared at Mo Ya: "Your Highness trusts you, but I don't believe it. You Mingxianghou Mansion has always been in collusion with the Cui family, and you are in collusion with the Cui family. With me here, you don't want to hurt Your Highness."

Mo Xia felt that Ah Si was out of his mind: "Why do you think that I will hurt His Highness, just because I am from Mingxianghou's mansion, and because my surname is Mo?"

"Si, you think you belong to the Du family, so you see that everything related to the Cui family is so hostile. But don't forget, I came to His Highness earlier than you. When he was bullied and insulted,I was the one who took care of him, and I was the one who protected him. Where were you at that time?"

Mo Xia questioned loudly, but he only wanted to feel bad in his heart, and he didn't expect Ah Si to answer.

"As for why I said that to Your Highness..."

Mo Xia lowered his eyes.

He used to protect Lu Chenzhang in his own way before, and wanted Lu Chenzhang to grow up carefree.But it wasn't until today that he realized how wrong he was.

Lu Chenzhang should know the truth, so as to gradually grow up in these truths, and face Emperor Delin's malice towards him, and Empress Cui's dislike towards him.

Otherwise, it will be like today, the longer it drags on, the more he will be hurt.

But Mo Ya didn't intend to talk nonsense with Ah Si, so he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that Mo Xia's figure was about to leave the Yang Palace, Ah Si suddenly said, "Mr. Mo, is it true what you said about Miss?"

Mo Xia stopped.

After a long time, he said, "It's true."

.........

"I never knew that there is such a quiet place to hide in the palace. The Fourth Highness is really easy to find."

Mo Xia walked for a long time among the rocky mountains in the garden, and then walked around into a hidden cave.

It took another half a stick of incense to walk along the cave, until the sky was bright in front of him, and Mo Xia quickened his pace, only to realize that there was a small garden behind him.

Sitting on the stone bench, Lu Chenqi was making tea smoothly, saw Mo Xia, and said with a smile: "As expected, you have found it."

Sitting opposite Lu Chenqi, Mo Xia had a bit of a smirk: "Your Highness invites you kindly, how dare I refuse? It's just that His Highness really doesn't need to choose such a secret place. If you don't know, I'm afraid it's inThis garden turned around for three days and nights, and I couldn't find the entrance here."

Lu Chenqi said: "If it wasn't for this, how could it be possible to hide from the Queen's eyeliner?"

Mo Ya took a sip of tea and almost sprayed it on the table.Covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, he coughed forcefully, and said, "The Fourth Highness and I haven't gotten to know each other well yet, have we?"

Lu Chenqi naturally understood what Mo Ya said: "I think, if I meet the Second Young Master Mo a few more times, maybe we can talk about everything."

Mo Ya originally thought that such a remote place must be overgrown with weeds and left unattended.Unexpectedly, although this place is not big, it also has a special charm.

Lu Chenqi looked at Mo Ya's surprised face, and proudly claimed the credit: "I discovered this garden two years ago. It may be because the entrance is too remote, and even the servants didn't find it. Since then, I have often come here to drink teaSitting idle, alone is also very leisurely. Everything you see now is also arranged by myself."

"Yeah." Mo Ya nodded perfunctorily, "It's pretty good-looking, and His Highness the Fourth Highness really has vision."

Lu Chenqi felt a little helpless: "Second Young Master, can you be more careless?"

Mo Xia smiled and looked at Lu Chenqi, calm and calm: "The Fourth Highness threatens me with Ah Qing's matter, and still wants me to distract you, can't you help but feel that it is too difficult for others?"

Lu Chenqi was indeed wronged, raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea: "It's my fault that I threatened Mr. Mo. If that's the case, I'll replace wine with tea here to apologize to you."

After speaking, he drank it in one breath.

Mo Xia didn't buy it at all: "Fourth Highness, I don't agree with you to replace wine with tea. It's too perfunctory to pay for this crime."

Lu Chenqi looked at Mo Xia and said, "Young Master Mo, you are really different from what you have shown. I want to know, besides Fifth Emperor Brother, is there anyone else worthy of your care and protection?"

"Of course." Mo Ya replied without hesitation, "But your fourth highness is definitely not included."

Mo Xia's heart is full of depression, and he doesn't care about Lu Chenqi's status as a prince, so he hates the air with this.

Lu Chenqi was not angry, but responded straightforwardly: "I didn't bring any wine today, I promise you, I will punish and apologize to Mr. Mo in the future."

Lu Chenqi's attitude was so good, which made Mo Xia a little embarrassed.

After all, Lu Chenqi is the prince, and Mo Xia couldn't be too relentless, so he directly cut to the point: "I don't know why the fourth prince is looking for me?"

Lu Chenqi said: "Mr. Mo, let's join hands."
