Chapter 23 Empress Cui is wooing someone
"Mr. Mo will come to Baocui Palace often in the future. Xuan'er likes Mr. Mo very much." Ye Guiren leaned on the beauty's couch, looked at Mo Xia with a very amiable expression, "I heard that Mr. Mo has a younger sister in his family. This palace is still hereThere are a lot of materials that His Majesty rewarded. I can't wear such fresh colors now, so I just took them back to cut some suitable clothes for Miss Mo."
Mo Xiang thought of Mo Siyun's happy look when he saw the new dress, and he also smiled: "Thank you, ma'am."
Lu Chenzhang pursed his lips, and interrupted at the right time: "Your Majesty should know that Brother Four is now a member of our camp."
Speaking of the fourth prince, the corners of Ye Guiren's lips flattened slightly: "I understand what the fifth prince means. The culprit is Empress Cui, and I will not ruin the long-term plan of forbearance because of Concubine Rong."
It seems that Lu Chenzhang and Ye Guiren have nothing to talk about.
After talking about the fourth prince, there was silence in the room.
Mo Xia looked at Ye Guiren, then at Lu Chenzhang.Just when he was about to speak, Lu Chenzhang suddenly said: "Ah Ya, I'm going to change clothes. You wait for me here."
Mo Xia smiled and said, "Okay, Your Highness, come back quickly."
It wasn't until Lu Chenzhang's figure disappeared in the main hall of Baocui Palace that Ye Gui said: "Mr. Mo and His Highness the Fifth Highness really have a mutual understanding. There is no one now. If you have any doubts, Mr. Mo, just ask."
Mo Xia said: "Your Majesty, Mo Xia wants to know why you are helping His Highness the Fifth Highness?"
Ye Guiren covered half of his exquisite makeup with a wide sleeve robe, and his shoulders trembled with a smile: "Mr. Mo is so smart, why would you ask such a question?"
Of course Mo Xia knew.
The second prince and his mother concubine Wanbi are Empress Cui's first birds, and they are attached to Yuanhua Palace, so they barely occupy a place in this palace.
The third prince's mother concubine, Concubine Chen, is backed by the General Hussar's Mansion, and her mother's family is powerful, so she looks down on Ye Guiren's background in a handyman's house.
As for the fourth prince...
Even though it was Empress Cui's instigation, it was Concubine Rong who caused Lu Chenxuan to become what he is today.Ye Guiren is so clear about what he likes and what he hates, and his heart is arrogant.How could it be possible to put down your dignity and seek the cooperation of the Fourth Prince?
Mo Xia lowered his eyes, not looking at Ye Guiren: "Your Majesty, you know, that's not what I mean."
What Mo Xia really wants to ask is not why to help, but how to help.
He knew that Ye Guiren could understand.
Ye Guiren suppressed his smile, stared at Mo Ya for a while, and then said: "Mo Ya, I really like you, so I would like to advise you. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing."
"The fifth prince is still young now, so he is willing to indulge you to go deep into everything about him. But the most untrustworthy thing in the royal family is true feelings. I really don't want to see your protection of the fifth prince now become a predestination for trespassing in the future.reason."
Mo Xia said: "My Lady, I know what you said. It's just that Mo Xia was really puzzled, so he took the liberty to ask Your Lady."
Ye Guiren laughed again, trembling, pointing at Mo Xia with the armor inlaid with emeralds, and said: "You, you are not very old, but you pretend to be an adult. You are still playing tricks in front of me."
"It's not that you have any doubts, it's clearly a test. You don't trust the people I have arranged for the fifth prince, so you want to find out where they came from. I'm afraid that this palace will take this opportunity to plant your own spies and harm the fifth prince.life."
Seeing that his thoughts had been exposed, Mo Ya's ears were reddish, and he simply stopped trying to hide it: "Since the empress understands, can you tell Mo Xia how you found the former Du family?"
"It's not impossible to tell you." Ye Guiren leaned against the beauty's couch, propped his forehead with his hands, and fell into unknown memories, "The beginning of this incident did originate from a coincidence."
"Mr. Mo should know that this palace is no better than you high-ranking families who have lived in a deep courtyard since childhood, surrounded by servants and servants, eating brocade and swallowing jade."
Mo Xia was a little embarrassed.
He was so disrespectful today that he almost confronted Ye Guiren, but he just wanted to confirm the authenticity and reliability of the identities of those Du family servants.
I don't really want to hear about Ye Guiren's not-so-glamorous past as the emperor's favorite concubine.
But Ye Guiren didn't seem to realize at all how out of control he was.
Perhaps it was Lu Chenxuan's rare closeness to outsiders today that stimulated her. After decades in the palace, Ye Guiren opened the valve in her heart, and it was difficult to close it.
"When the family was in the most difficult time, the palace bought handy maids from the palace. In order not to starve or suffer from cold, I followed my father-in-law into the palace without hesitation."
"One day, I was pinned down on the ground and beaten with a rattan cane for contradicting my mother. Just when I thought I was about to die, a gorgeously dressed maid passing by saved me." Ye GuirenThere was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes, she seemed to be grateful, she seemed to be compassionate, "She said that she was Princess Yu's maid, and she went to the palace with the master for the banquet. Hastily ordered people to carry me back to the room, called the medical girl, andleft."
"This Palace has been asking about her name. It wasn't until Empress Duanming entered the Central Palace that I found out that her name is Du Fengyu. She was a personal maid who grew up with the Queen's Empress since she was a child. A first-rank female official is beyond words."
Du Fengyu, Du Fengxiu...
Mo Xia couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Du Fengyu and Ah Si..."
Ye Guiren said: "Du Fengyu is Ah Si's biological sister."
"Yunzhu was brought out by Bengong from the handyman's room. She knew about the past between Bengong and Du Fengyu, so she remembered Du Fengyu's appearance in her heart. Just a year ago, Xu Yunzhu went out of the palace to visit relatives, and she lived in her house.In that messy and well-connected alley, I found a man who looks 80% similar to Du Fengyu."
End of story.
Ye Guiren stopped the words that were lingering on the tip of his tongue, and looked at Mo Xia: "I think Second Young Master Mo already has the answer in his heart."
Mo Ya looked at Ye Guiren, got up suddenly, and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty, Mo Ya is disrespectful today, and you will be chaotic if you really care about it. Mo Ya would like to thank you, Madam, for protecting the members of the Du clan and protecting me from opening the Yang Palace. If Madam has orders in the future,Mo Xia is determined to die forever, in order to repay the great kindness of the empress."
Ye Guiren smiled and said: "Second Young Master, there is no need to be like this. Xuan'er likes you very much, if you really want to repay, you can often come to Baocui Palace to accompany Xuan'er."
Mo Ya was a little hesitant: "My Lady, it's not that Mo Xia doesn't want to, it's just that this will harm the Sixth Prince."
Ye Guiren seemed not expecting Mo Ya to say such words, his eyes were filled with admiration for Mo Ya: "You really have more than one mind. Don't worry about Empress Cui, she wants to reach into Baocui Palace, it's not soeasy."
"Aya, I'm back." Lu Chenzhang finally returned after almost two sticks of incense.
Ye Guiren looked at Lu Chenzhang who was sticking to Mo Ya's side and refused to let go, and thinking of Mo Ya's affinity for Lu Chenxuan, the smile in his eyes deepened: "Your Highness, Mr. Mo, it's getting late today, so my palace won't let you go."Iโll leave you guys alone. Go back to Kaiyang Palace quickly.โ
Mo Xia and Lu Chenzhang both resigned.
The bright orange sunset flew over the palace wall, pulling out the slanted light and shadow on the ground.
Mo Xia took Lu Chenzhang's hand, one big and one small, walked towards Kaiyang Palace step by step: "Your Highness, are you happy today?"
"Unhappy." Lu Chenzhang was a little angry.
Mo Xia pretended to be very surprised and said: "What, His Royal Highness obviously forgot about piling up wooden blocks, and even fought with the sixth prince with great joy, how did he forget so quickly?"
Lu Chenzhang became even angrier when he thought about the embarrassing things that Mo Ya led him to do today: "Ah Ya, you are not allowed to bring the sixth emperor with us anymore. He can only play with children's things."
Mo Ya knew that Lu Chenzhang was uncomfortable.He shook Lu Chenzhang's hand and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you are the elder brother of His Highness the Sixth Prince, how could you say that about him. How sad it would be if His Highness Six knew about it."
Lu Chenzhang was not convinced and wanted to refute.But seeing Mo Xia's gentle eyes, he involuntarily faltered: "I see."
Mo Xia rubbed Lu Chenzhang's head and encouraged, "Your Highness is so good."
Lu Chenzhang felt that he had made a big concession, and couldn't wait to fight for his rights. He shook Mo Ya's hand and said, "Ah Ya, you can only like me, not Liu Huangdi."
Mo Ya knew that Lu Chenzhang's little problem of being jealous had happened again, so he coaxed Lu Chenzhang according to his wishes: "Okay, I only like Your Highness."
Lu Chenzhang said again: "This is what Aya said. If Aya doesn't count, I will punish Aya."
Mo Ya didn't expect Lu Chenzhang to have so many careful thoughts, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, if I don't like His Highness the most, can I just let His Highness deal with it?"
Only then was Lu Chenzhang satisfied, and walked forward eagerly, pulling Mo Ya's hand: "Ah Ya, hurry up, I want to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus crisps you made."
.........
Winter in the Liang Dynasty was always extremely cold.
The north wind, mixed with snow particles, roared in an unknown night.
Open the doors and windows early in the morning and look around.The majestic palace walls are plain white, and the sky is so dark that the sky is covered with frost.
Mo Xia was sitting by the side of the charcoal basin, holding a fluffy little white hat that was a bit old and yellowed, and carefully sewed the fluffy balls hanging down on both sides with silk thread of the same color.
The cold wind blows in through the cracks in the windows.
Mo Xia shuddered, quickly put down his hat, and approached the charcoal basin.Spread your legs and put your feet on both sides of the charcoal basin, bend your body, and hang your hands on the red-hot silver coals.
From a distance, the whole person seems to be curled up holding the charcoal fire in his arms.
Mo Ya shivered a few times before he felt the chill in his body was barely dispelled.
It would be nice if His Highness was here.
Ink daydream.
Put it three years ago, not to mention the good quality silver frost carbon.Even the most common black charcoal, which eunuchs and maids of some status in the palace would disdain to use, is a luxury for Kaiyang Palace.
Now Mo Xia can occasionally use the extra charcoal fire to make a delicious and spicy hot pot meal for Lu Chenzhang.
Mo Xia of Xianyu said that he is very satisfied with this kind of life.
Mo Xia pinched the plush ball and unconsciously looked out the window.
Lu Chenzhang became more and more busy.
Emperor Delin didn't pay much attention to him, and no one in Kaiyang Palace cared about him.He simply disappeared every three days.I have seen Ah Si all day without a trace, and I don't know what I am doing.
There was a faint knock on the door outside.
A trace of ominousness crossed Mo Xia's mind, he tightened his robe, got up, walked through the courtyard, and opened the palace gate.
"Who is Mo Ya?" A eunuch in a python robe and a plume crown stood proudly in front of the palace gate, and with a flick of his whisk, he shouted cleanly under his thin drake voice.
Mo Ya's knuckles were slightly bent, looking at the mean and arrogant eunuch in first-grade official uniform, he tried his best to maintain calm and bowed slightly: "This father-in-law, I am Mo Ya. I don't know what's important for father-in-law."
The chief eunuch held his whisk in his pocket, looked at Mo Xia with a smirk, and said, "The Empress wants to see you, so let's go to Yuanhua Palace with our family."
Mo Ya: "!"
The eunuch didn't come alone, there were four big and round mothers behind him.
Seeing the ferocious and savage faces of these people, Mo Xia's heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
He had no choice but to go to Yuanhua Palace.
Mo Xia stepped on the snow, silently looking at the slightly hunched back of the eunuch in front of him.
Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the Yang Palace, Mo Xia took out a high-quality jade hairpin from his sleeve, quickened his pace, and came to the eunuch's side.Taking advantage of no one's attention behind him, he quietly stuffed the jade hairpin into the eunuch's hand: "I don't know what to call my father-in-law?"
The eunuch was very satisfied with Mo Ya's understanding, put away his things, and lost the domineering attitude toward Mo Ya: "Our family name is Zhu."
"It turned out to be Eunuch Zhu." Seeing that eunuch Zhu had no intention of continuing, Mo Xia endured the pain in his heart, and stuffed another golden hairpin that Ye Guiren rewarded Mo Sizhen, "Mo Ya is stupid, please enlighten me, I don't knowWhy did the empress call me to go?"
Eunuch Zhu didn't expect that Mo Xia's clothes were shabby, but there were quite a lot of good things.After all, Eunuch Zhu accepted two hairpins, and he couldn't help but slow down his tone to Mo Xia a little: "Mr. Mo was born in Mingxiang Hou's Mansion, and Mrs. Hou and the empress are also distant sisters. The empress wants to support her.My natal family, I have found a clear path for Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo must not disappoint the empress's love for you."
Mo Xia clenched his fists tightly, then let go immediately, and said to Eunuch Zhu with a smile, "Thank you, Eunuch."
Eunuch Zhu stroked the two heavy hairpins in his sleeves, and smiled along with him: "This is what it should be. In the future, Mr. Mo will be valued by the empress, so don't forget that such a small person as ours is."
Mo Xia followed Eunuch Zhu to Yuanhua Palace.But it was discovered that not only Empress Cui, but also the First Prince and the Seventh Prince were there.
Mo Xia walked to the center of the hall, knelt on the gold bricks, and bowed down in a respectful manner: "The grass-roots see the empress."
Empress Cui sat high on the main seat, as if she didn't see Mo Yan, chatting and laughing with her son: "I heard that Rong'er has improved a lot in learning recently, and your grandfather praised you again yesterday."
The Seventh Prince sat beside Empress Cui, hugging Empress Cui's arm like twisting candy: "Mother, my son is doing so well, you have to give him a reward."
Empress Cui seemed to have expected that the seventh prince would say such a thing, she nodded his forehead and said, "You really don't grow up, when will you learn the stability of your royal brother."
The seventh prince was a little unconvinced: "With the empress mother and the emperor's brother around, the children don't need to grow up."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the eldest prince again, as if he wanted him to be the master for himself: "Brother elder emperor, do you think so?"
The First Prince sat upright in his position, lowered his head slightly, and elegantly blew the scalding tea in his hand.Hearing what the Seventh Prince said, he just smiled calmly: "What the Seventh Prince said is true."
Empress Cui loved her youngest son very much. Seeing that the seventh prince was a little unhappy, she hurriedly said: "Okay, don't be angry, emperor. Didn't you always want that red jade and white jadeite bamboo carving? The queen mother will reward it to you.OK?"
The seventh prince immediately said happily: "I know that the queen mother loves me the most."
The mother and son talked and laughed as if no one was around, as if no one had seen Mo Xia kneeling on the ground in the center of the hall.
Yuanhua Palace is very extravagant, the ground dragon charcoal basin burns day and night, and the palace is as warm as late spring.
Mo Xia maintained the posture of kowtowing, and when the smoked wind surrounded him and was drowsy, he heard Empress Cui say: "Look at me, I was only focused on talking to you, but I forgot Mr. Mo. Mr. Mo, get up quickly."
Mo Xia said loudly: "Thank you, Ma'am."
Immediately straightening his robes, he stood up slowly and steadily.
The eldest prince glanced at Mo Xia in surprise.
The Seventh Prince was still grinning, as if Mo Xia was not worthy of his attention at all.
Empress Cui said: "Jinmen, show Mr. Mo a seat. Sit next to Ben Gong."
Then he said kindly to Mo Xia: "My mother and Mr. Mo's mother are also sisters. I always want to invite you to Yuanhua Palace to drink tea and talk, but I always can't get away. Until now, I have never looked at it carefully.It's a sin to pass you off."
Seeing that Empress Cui was so polite, Mo Xia also wore a formulaic and perfect smirk, and replied with trepidation: "Your Majesty manages a lot of things every day, and it is a blessing to be able to remember the grassroots, so how dare you work hard for your Majesty to call me?"
On the way here, Mo Xia vaguely guessed Empress Cui's intentions.He is also very clear in his heart, whether it is Eunuch Zhu's arrogance in Kaiyang Palace, or Empress Cui's ignorance of him just now, it is nothing more than Empress Cui's prestige.
Now Empress Cui is asking about her health and caring again.
If Mo Ya didn't have a mature soul in his body, he might have been subdued by Empress Cui's kindness and power, and would willingly become a pawn of Kaiyang Palace.
As for mothers being sisters...
Mo Xia said: What is the relationship between Mo Feng's relatives and him?
The only thing that puzzles Mo Ya is that Lu Chenzhang has been hiding his clumsiness, and Kaiyang Palace is no different from usual in the eyes of outsiders.
Why did Empress Cui suddenly want to develop his dark line to catch Lu Chenzhang, a big fish?
It wasn't until Mo Ya's smirk could hardly be sustained that Empress Cui finally revealed the purpose of summoning Mo Ya: "I heard that Mr. Mo often goes to Baocui Palace recently?"
Mo Xia: "..."
He got it wrong.
It turns out that Empress Cui's target koi is not Lu Chenzhang, but Ye Guiren.
Mo Ya's heart tightened, he breathed steadily, and answered carefully, "Yes."
"Mr. Mo is also from a wealthy family. He is the eldest son of the Hou family. He is very expensive. Just because he is the companion of the fifth prince, he has to let go of his dignity. It is really hard for you child."
Mo Xia was silent.
Empress Cui can say this kind of thing as the master of the harem.If he answered along with the trend, he really thought his life was too long.
Empress Cui seemed very satisfied with Mo Ya's calmness, and her sharp phoenix eyes looked up and down unscrupulously, as if she wanted to see every expression of Mo Ya: "General Li's son joined the army with his father, and Pian'er accompanied him to read.There is just one person vacant in the seat. Your elder brother is already Pian'er's companion, if a brother serves the same master, it must be a good story."
This is Queen Cui's olive branch.
Mo Xia looked down at the perfectly stitched gold bricks under his feet, hesitating and struggling, and his ambition and reluctance were intertwined and staged from an angle that Empress Cui could see.
When everything returned to calm, Mo Xia seemed to have made up his mind, bit his lips and asked, "I don't know what your mother wants Mo Ya to do?"
Jinmen walked over to Mo Xia holding a three-inch long delicate porcelain vase.
"After talking for so long today, I'm exhausted. Jinmen, send Mr. Mo out."
"Your servant obeys." Jinmen performed the pleasing body blessing ceremony smoothly, turned to look at Mo Xia, and said with a smile, "Mr. Mo, please."
Mo Xia left the hall backwards.
"Mr. Mo." Jinmen, who was leading the way, stopped suddenly.
Mo Xia followed Jinmen to stop, with a bit of nervousness, a little bit of fear, but more trembling with uncontrollable excitement: "Miss Jinmen."
Jinmen passed the porcelain bottle in his hand to Mo Xia, and said with a smile, "Mr. Mo, this is Wuweisan. It is colorless, tasteless, and formless when scattered in the air. Children only need to inhale a little, and they will die suddenly in half a day.Even the imperial doctors couldn't find out the reason."
Mo Xia took the porcelain bottle carefully: "I see."
Jinmen looked at Mo Xia, and said word by word: "Mr. Mo, don't disappoint the empress's love for you."
.........
"Ah Ya." Mo Ya was sitting at the table looking at the bottle of tasteless smell, suddenly Lu Chenzhang rushed in and plunged into Mo Ya's arms, "Ah Ya, are you alright?"
Mo Xia pulled Lu Chenzhang away dumbfoundingly: "What can I do? What is Your Highness thinking?"
Lu Chenzhang didn't believe it: "I heard that Empress Cui sent you to Yuanhua Palace. What did she do to you, did she make things difficult for you?"
Mo Ya was wondering why Lu Chenzhang came back so early today, and instantly understood when he heard what Lu Chenzhang said.
Lu Chenzhang must have received the news that he was called to Yuanhua Palace, so he hurried back to the palace early.Running too fast even sweated all over his face in the cold winter months.
Mo Xia wiped Lu Chenzhang's small face with a brocade handkerchief, squeezed the soft flesh, bent his eyebrows, and smiled softly: "Your Highness, don't worry. The empress did not make things difficult for me."
Lu Chenzhang shook his head: "Impossible. Who is Empress Cui? If there is no benefit, it will not be early. If there is nothing wrong, how could it be possible to call you to Yuanhua Palace suddenly."
After speaking, Lu Chenzhang saw the small porcelain bottle held by Mo Xia on the table, and reached out curiously to take it: "What is this?"
"Your Highness, don't touch it." Mo Xia hastily stopped him.
Lu Chenzhang looked at the conspicuous bottle in the house, which was very similar to Lu Chenqi's style, and hated it for destroying the room he and Ah Ya worked so hard to decorate: "Ah Ya, where did this bottle come from?"
When Mo Xia saw the bottle Jinmen gave her, her head grew dizzy.He took the porcelain bottle and held it in his hand, not letting Lu Chenzhang touch it: "This is in Yuanhua Palace today, Empress Cui gave it to me. I just want to take it back to the mansion, and let my aunt help me see it."
Mo Xia spoke vaguely, but Lu Chenzhang probably guessed Empress Cui's intention: "She wants you to swallow this thing for me?"
"No." Mo Ya shook his head, "She has taken a fancy to me for going to Baocui Palace recently."
Lu Chenzhang's small face quickly grew dissatisfied, as if he had finally found a reason to teach Mo Ya a lesson, his words were like popping popcorn, and he fell to Mo Ya with a crackling head: "I said don't always go to Baocui Palace to findSixth Brother, look, Empress Cui is thinking about it now. If you didn't go to Baocui Palace, how could there be so many things?"
Mo Xia didn't speak, and looked at Lu Chenzhang with a smile.When Lu Chenzhang said he was tired, he offered a cup of hot tea at the right time: "Is Your Highness thirsty? Do you want some tea?"
Lu Chenzhang took a big sip, but he still didn't think it was enough, and wanted to take this opportunity to continue venting his dissatisfaction at being robbed of favor by Lu Chenxuan.
Seeing Mo Xia's tolerant expression on Wen Na's face, his whole body froze as if he had been punctured, and he said very generously and helplessly, "Forget it, you won't listen anyway."
Mo Ya couldn't hold back, turned his head and gritted his teeth to suppress a smile.
Seeing Mo Ya's trembling hands on the table, Lu Chenzhang became even angrier: "Ah Ya."
Mo Ya turned his head back, patted Lu Chenzhang on the head, and said, "Your Highness is right. It's just that things have already happened, and it's useless to complain. Empress Cui doesn't like to open the Yang Palace, and the sixth prince is just hers."An excuse. Even if there is no Baocui Palace, sooner or later she will use other opportunities to embarrass us."
Why doesn't Lu Chenzhang understand this truth?
It's just that Empress Cui used Lu Chenxuan to make trouble this time, so he was so excited on purpose, so that Mo Xia would know that he could only like himself the most.
Even with Lu Chenxuan, he can't be tied for first place with himself.
Lu Chenzhang returned his attention to the bottle again, pointed to it and asked, "Aya, what's in it?"
Mo Xia repeated Jinmen's words to Lu Chenzhang: "Empress Cui's maid called it Wuweisan. It is colorless, tasteless, invisible, and shapeless. Just a little bit can make a child die suddenly in half a day."
Lu Chenzhang frowned when he heard this: "What is this, why have I never heard of it?"
Mo Xia said: "So, tomorrow is a ten-day holiday, and I plan to ask my aunt to help me take a look. It is said that the imperial doctor will never find me, but who knows if this is a trap for her to kill two birds with one stone."
Reminded by Mo Ya, Lu Chenzhang could be considered to have remembered the most important thing, looked at Mo Ya and asked very seriously: "Ah Ya, what is the benefit that Empress Cui promised you?"
Thinking of what Empress Cui said, Mo Xiang wanted to laugh inexplicably: "Isn't there an empty companion next to the First Prince? She promised that if I accomplish this, she would transfer me to the First Prince's side to be his companion."read."
Lu Chenzhang's hair almost stood on end, he stood up immediately, and said loudly, "What did she say?"
Mo Xia looked at His Highness who was furious, and pulled his sleeve with some amusement: "I won't agree, Your Highness, why are you so excited? You are so angry, sit down quickly, drink some water soaked in honeysuckle,Fire is."
Lu Chenzhang was pulled to sit down by Mo Ya, the anger in his heart shot up to the top of his head.It reached the peak and remained high: "Yuanhua Palace deceives people too much."
Mo Xia said: "Yes, yes. They have always been aggressive like this, and it's not the first day Your Highness knows."
Lu Chenzhang said: "Aya, you are not allowed to talk to Lu Chenjuan in the future. Like Empress Cui, with a wicked and mean look, you don't look like a good person."
Mo Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I've never talked to the First Prince, Your Highness, what you said is a little bit out of the question."
Lu Chenzhang said viciously: "There was no such thing before, and it will not be allowed in the future. It will never be allowed."
Mo Xia followed Lu Chenzhang's hair, and promised very seriously: "Okay, I will never talk to His Royal Highness the First Prince in this life, is Your Highness satisfied?"
Lu Chenzhang turned his head, not looking at Mo Ya, very arrogantly: "Hmph, it's not too bad."
"Wellโโ" Mo Ya looked away and turned away from him, but his eyes squinted from time to time, and Lu Chenzhang, who was full of words and didn't come to coax the hall, stretched his tone, "There is tremella soup stewed in the kitchen. If His Highness doesn't drink it, thenI'm done drinking."
Lu Chenzhang quickly looked at Mo Ya.
Because Mo Ya is taller than him, he can only lift his fleshy chin, and let Mo Ya see his displeasure: "I'm hungry now, I want to drink soup, but I can't walk."
Mo Ya was about to be lovable by Lu Chenzhang, he pushed the dried fruit in front of Lu Chenzhang, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, Your Highness should have some snacks first, and I'll bring you the white fungus soup, okay?"
Lu Chenzhang said vaguely, "Add more sugar."
Mo Xia followed Lu Chenzhang's words: "Okay, I will listen to Your Highness."
.........
"Auntie." Mo Ya came to Aunt Xu's courtyard without even seeing Mo Siyun first after returning to Mingxianghou's mansion.
Aunt Xu looked at Mo Xia, who was in a hurry, in surprise, and hurriedly called for hot honey water: "Second brother, what's wrong? You're in such a hurry, but what happened?"
Mo Ya picked up the cup and poured it directly into his mouth.The sore throat that was stabbed by the cold wind finally felt better under the moistening of warm sweet water.
Mo Xia looked at the maidservants around, and then looked out of the window: "Auntie, I have something to ask you."
Aunt Xu understood, and immediately said to the maidservant: "Xiang Yao, you take them and leave first. Without my order, no one is allowed to come in."
Xiangyao Fushen: "Yes."
After everyone left the room, Aunt Xu looked at Mo Ya and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, hurry up and talk. Don't hesitate here, lest I share your heart and soul with you."
Mo Xia took out the bottle that Empress Cui gave him, and handed it to Aunt Xu: "Auntie, can you help me see what this is?"
Aunt Xu took it, looked at the small body of the bottle gilded with gold and silver, and the mouth of the bottle was even embedded with a few pearls the size of rice grains, and said "Yo", "It's so delicate. Where did you get it from?"The Yang Palace does not have such a luxurious vessel."
Mo Xia said: "Empress Cui gave it to me. She said it was called Wuweisan, and asked me to give it to the sixth prince. She also said that it is colorless and tasteless, and it only takes half a day to kill people suddenly. I thought about such a hidden and magicalPoison is hard to find in the world, how could Empress Cui trust me with such a precious thing? I was worried about fraud, so I wanted my aunt to take a look."
Aunt Xu unscrewed the bottle cap and said, "You really should be worried, because there is no such thing as Wuweisan in this world. God knows what the empress used to trick you into doing things for her, and if you were found to have killed the prince later, what would you do?It is true that all the nine families of the Mohist family will be implicated by you."
After finishing speaking, Aunt Xu put the mouth of the bottle on the tip of her nose and smelled it carefully, closing her eyes to feel the taste of the ingredients in the bottle.
Suddenly, Aunt Xu seemed to understand something, twisted the cap on the bottle, and sneered: "The empress is really good at calculating."
Mo Xia hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
Aunt Xu put the bottle on the pit table and said, "Fortunately, you were careful. This is not Wuweisan, but Duanchang Centrifugal Pill."
After a pause, Aunt Xu added: "To be more precise, this is the powder made from Duanchang centrifugal pills."
Mo Ya hardly studied medical skills, and he didn't know much about poisons and herbs.
Thinking of this very convoluted name, Mo Xia asked: "Auntie, what is Duanchang Centrifugal Pill?"
A trace of disgust flashed across Aunt Xu's face, as if she was reluctant to mention it: "Biechang Centrifugal Pill is a very insidious poison. Due to the precious materials used and complicated production, the prescription has long been lost. Even in today's world, there are probably very few left."
"This poison is extremely strong. If an adult accidentally swallows it, he will die suddenly within a stick of incense. If it is a child, he doesn't even need to swallow it. As long as his mouth and nose come into contact, pustules will quickly form on the body, blood will flow from the seven orifices on the spot, and the limbs will convulse.Even if you are a Daluo Jinxian, you will be powerless to return to heaven."
Aunt Xu seemed to be remembering some bad past, she rolled her eyes slightly, and involuntarily clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand: "That's all. The most sinister thing is that once the poisoned person comes into contact with others, the pustule bursts and the inside of the pustule bursts.If the pus and blood from the pus splash on other people, the poison will spread rapidly. Therefore, once someone is infected with this poison, even the mass graves will not be allowed to go. The only antidote is to destroy the bones and ashes."
Mo Xia's eyes widened: "What?"
In ancient times, only the most heinous people would be given the most inhuman punishment.
No wonder Aunt Xu said it was the most insidious poison.
It's really a matter of hatred and resentment, so that others can't even preserve their bodies, and they can't even offer incense.
Aunt Xu looked at the exquisite three-inch vial, and looked at Mo Xia with great concern: "Second brother, Empress Cui's goal is not the sixth prince. She wants to wipe out Ye Guiren and even the entire Baocui Palace.The bait she is eyeing. She has not achieved her goal, so she will definitely not let it go. What should you do if you are in the court?"
Mo Xia's heart was in a mess.
As early as when he was taken to Yuanhua Palace by Eunuch Zhu, he knew that this confrontation would never be easy.
Playing around in Yuanhua Palace is just trying to buy some time for himself.
The opponent is Empress Cui, who has power in the harem.Even if he is eloquent, how useful is he in the face of such power?
Mo Xia didn't want Aunt Xu to worry about him, even though her mind was flustered, she still pretended to smile lightly and said, "Aunt, don't worry. Is there nothing I have experienced in so many years? It is Empress Cui who wants to deal with me, with my resourcefulness, can't I escape the open and secret fights in the palace?"
Unexpectedly, Aunt Xu was not comforted by Mo Xia at all, but was even more worried: "Second brother, you think of Empress Cui too simply. You have been in the palace for nearly four years, but you have never confronted Empress Cui, so there is noI don't know what kind of person she is."
Because she was too worried, Aunt Xu went to the doctor in a hurry and said: "Why don't I tell Lord Hou that you don't want to be the companion of the Fifth Prince. No one is in the court. If you want to come to Empress Cui, no matter how powerful you are, you can't do it."Unable to cast."
Mo Xia waited for Aunt Xu to finish speaking, and then said helplessly: "Auntie, please don't go to see your father. It is His Majesty's will for me to accompany the Fifth Prince.Resisting the edict is not respectful. I am afraid that the entire Mingxianghou Mansion will be implicated."
Mo Xia sat beside Aunt Xu, held Aunt Xu's hand, and said, "Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself. Even for you, for Siyun and Ah Qing, I will not let anything happen to meah."
Aunt Xu stroked Mo Xia's hair and sighed deeply: "My poor son, it would be great if my sister was still here."
.........
There was no movement from Baocui Palace for a long time. After all, Empress Cui was angered.
On a snowy morning, Mo Xia was summoned to Yuanhua Palace again.
"Grassmen see the empress."
Mo Xia still saluted like last time.It's just that Empress Cui looked at him, no longer pretending to be pleasant, her eyebrows seemed to hold a handful of snow, as noble and cold as emeralds.
Empress Cui flicked the tea leaves, and said leisurely, "Young Master Mo is so arrogant."
Mo Xia pretended to be stupid: "The grassroots are terrified, I don't know why the empress made such a statement?"
Empress Cui put down the teacup, her sharp phoenix eyes swept towards Mo Xia, with a cold light in her eyes: "Mr. Mo thinks he doesn't like Ben Gong and Pian'er. Even a position as a companion can't impress Mr. Mo, Ben GongI really can't think of anything in this world that Mr. Mo can look up to."
