Mo Qin lay there for more than half a month.During this period, Cui Qiu, as the master of Lingxi Palace, had been taking care of his personal eunuchs in the side hall.

Occasionally, Qiu Si would come in as the fifth prince's tutor and pass on information.

On this day, he showed his waist badge and letter to enter the Lingxi Hall, and then walked in the direction of the side hall by a familiar route.

Needless to say, His Majesty the Fifth Highness most likely stayed at that eunuch's bedside.

This idea made Qiu Si very unhappy, and he was even vaguely worried about whether Cui Qiu would follow the old path of the previous eunuchs' monopoly when he succeeded to the throne.

Although Mo Qin doesn't seem to be this kind of person for the time being, but a thing without roots... it's really hard to tell.

Qiu Si thought this as he walked into the side hall.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw on the desk on one side of the hall the books that the fifth prince had been reading these days, as well as the inkstone that had not been dried yet and the brushes placed on the inkstone.

These things all show that this has become the designated place for His Royal Highnesses to work and study in the near future.

Before Qiu Si had time to frown, he saw a white figure walking out of the room. His movements were restrained and his steps were staggering. He looked like he was afraid of a wound on his body.

The person who came had the appearance of a young man, which was different from Cui Qiu's slightly immature look.This person's appearance is magnificent, just like the bright, bright and dazzling flowers when they are in full bloom.

The soft facial features are arranged regularly, and every place makes people feel the beauty of creation.Although she is only wearing a middle coat and her hair is down, which makes her look a little messy, she still has the aura of a gentleman and a beauty like jade, which is pleasing to the eye.

Qiu Si looked a little crazy for a moment, and the next moment he realized that he was actually looking at Mo Qin.I suddenly felt a sense of disgust.

When Mo Qin saw that it was him, he bowed to apologize, then turned back and put on a coat before coming out.

Qiu Si was half-moved and half-awed: This little eunuch is already 17 years old.

He also thought: If Mo Qin was not a eunuch in the palace, but a young man from a certain family, with such a handsome appearance, he would probably attract the hearts of all the noble ladies in the capital, and their sachets would be filled with fruits and melons. Car.

Mo Qin put on his clothes, walked out and saluted him and said, "It's unfortunate that Mr. Xia is here. Your Highness, he has just been called by the Queen Mother. He will be back in about half an hour."

Qiu Si replied lightly: "Yes."

Mo Qin set up a seat for him in front of the table and called the maid outside to come in and serve him.

After sitting down, Qiu Si said to him: "This time I was injured and poisoned again. Please bear with me, Eunuch Mo."

Mo Qin said politely: "This slave is just working for His Highness, so this little hardship is nothing. As long as His Highness is fine, it will be fine."

His loyal and humble attitude made Qiu Si feel at ease and feel better.

"His Highness pretended to be frightened these days and was bedridden. Making His Majesty Long Yan furious and conducting a thorough investigation of the Sixth Palace also made things easier for us. Not only did we send a lot of people in, but we also lost one of the Concubine Chao's capable officers. It can be said that we gained a lot. Feng. This is largely due to you." Qiu Si said lightly.

After hearing this, Mo Qin replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I just did my duty and protected His Highness the Fifth Prince. It was you who brought the news, so you should be the one who deserves the most credit. Why should you praise me?"

After a conversation, Qiu Si was very satisfied with Mo Qin's usual humble behavior, but he still did not forget to mention:

"This is a side hall. How can His Highness, the Longsun of the Fifth Prince, live in a shabby room for a long time? Even though His Highness is deeply in love with your master and servant, he forgot the rules for a while when he was young. You need to remind him more. Also, yours After all, I am a eunuch slave. Although I get along with His Highness day and night, I should still pay attention to basic manners when meeting His Highness. No matter what, I should not be disheveled or disheveled. This is disrespectful to His Highness. "

After hearing what he said, before Mo Qin rolled his eyes, the system complained: "It's none of his business what other people's private feelings are like. Whether this cousin takes himself too seriously, that's all up to him."

Mo Qin replied: "He simply looks down on eunuchs. Why bother with such a person? Just take good care of our mission targets."

The system stopped talking.

Sometimes it feels that Mo Qin is really tolerant, has clear goals and doesn't mind his own business.

But at the same time, it also knows that these are just appearances. In fact, this guy holds a lot of grudges.Despite his indifferent tone now, Qiu Si might be keeping this in mind, waiting for him to take revenge one day.

The scariest thing is that it leaves no trace.

Recalling the month or so when he was locked up in a small dark room, the system shuddered involuntarily and became as silent as a chicken.

Before Mo Qin could reply, the little eunuch outside shouted.

The fifth prince is back.

Hearing the sound, Mo Qin immediately packed up his clothes and went out to greet him.

After he went out, he discovered that not only the fifth prince had returned, but also two troublesome people who had come with him.

There were three people who followed Cui Qiu into the Lingxi Palace.

One of them is a eunuch holding a floating dust. He seems to be a bit old and his status in the palace should be high.

The other two, Mo Qin, were extremely familiar with each other - not in the sense of acquaintances, but people who knew each other clearly through various intelligence materials: the third prince Cui Que and the fourth prince Cui Yuannan.

The former is the youngest son of Concubine Chao, who is 15 years old this year.His uncle is the prime minister in the court who has great hands and eyes.

As the youngest son of a noble concubine, Cui Que was raised to be very delicate and domineering, without the courage of a prince. He behaved wantonly and was no different from those playboys outside who relied on family power to run rampant and tyrannical.

The latter is the only son of the concubine of Caiyue Palace. His mother's family has little power but he has climbed into the imperial family. Both mother and son are also attached to the imperial concubine.Cui Yuannan is only 13 years old, but she has already developed the skills of being a jerk and flattering.The main thing he usually does is to follow Cui Que in misbehaving and support the situation for him, so as to get some benefits from the imperial concubine.

Mo Qin was half surprised and half alert to attract such two troublesome guys.

After these people, there was also a group of mighty eunuchs and nuns.Half of them were with the father-in-law, and a group of people carried three large sandalwood boxes.I don't know what's inside.

On the other hand, Cui Qiu was the smallest person present. He only brought two maids with him when he went out this time.

Even though he had returned to his own territory, he was as scared as a quail.

Mo Qin stepped forward and saluted several highnesses.

Seeing that the eunuch in charge and the nun in charge of Lingxi Palace had arrived, the Grand Duke began to say in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness was very happy when he heard that His Highness the Fifth Prince had returned to the palace. He wanted to come over to see His Highness the Fifth Prince in person, but there was I am busy with business and cannot come in person. I specially ordered our family to send three large boxes of congratulatory gifts. One is to celebrate His Highness’s move, and the other is to comfort His Highness who was frightened by an assassin a few days ago.”

He took out a gift booklet from his sleeve, and upon seeing this, Mo Qin quickly bent down and took it.

After completing the prince's instructions, the father-in-law retired.

Seeing the prince's people walking away, Cui Que and the others had no scruples at all.

The noble and arrogant young man raised his chin, and Cui Yuannan immediately understood.He stepped forward and grabbed the gift list from Mo Qin's hand, and also gave him a push.

This time it involved an abdominal injury. Mo Qin held his stomach, half-hunched over, and gritted his teeth to endure the severe pain from the wound.

After seeing this scene, Cui Qiu's cautious expression cracked for a moment.A sharp edge like the tip of a knife suddenly shot out from his hazy eyes, but he had to suppress it secretly.

Damn it... how dare they hurt Mo Qin...

Cui Que had already looked through the gift list sent by the prince, and was not aware of Cui Qiu's emotions at all.

After taking a few glances, he looked arrogant and disdainful and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look what these are, eight treasure glazed bowl, water embroidered quilt, two tigers stepping on auspicious clouds jade belt, red heart agate curtain from the Western Regions, so many good things, It's just that the prodigal prince likes you and is willing to use all this to win you over. I don't even think about what you, a useless bastard, can do. I feel disgusted by being a dog to His Highness."

There was a condescending viciousness in his words.After all, Cui Qiu is also his biological brother, but the words used are so contemptuous, obscene and extremely insulting.

In response to the third prince's humiliation, Cui Qiu just suppressed her blush, her eyes sparkling with water, looking embarrassed and scared.But he didn't dare to say a word to his brother, and huddled beside Mo Qin.

The fifth prince's timid appearance pleased Cui Yuannan and made him even more unscrupulous.He slightly bowed his body and took a step forward, smiling at Cui Que: "Third brother, how can a low-class bastard like him use these good things. Since the prince is willing to give it, why don't you just take it back yourself."

Cui Que smiled: "It makes sense."

After hearing this, Cui Qiu's eyes changed.

When Cui Que and Cui Yuannan insisted on following him back to the palace, he knew that these two people planned to humiliate him.

He was used to having to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, so he just let them say some unpleasant things to vent their anger and send them away.

But if Cui Que insists on asking for something from the prince, then things will be different.

The imperial concubine's status and power in the harem were already close to those of the empress, and her eldest son, the second prince Cui Ling, and the prince were in tit-for-tat opposition in the court.

If Cui Que takes away the things that the prince sent at this time, if word spreads out, the prince will think that Cui Qiu is eager to stand with the imperial concubine as soon as he returns to the palace, ignoring the kindness of his elder brother.Send a signal to the prince that he wants to join the second prince.Even if Cui Yuanzhen couldn't defeat Cui Ling and Chao Guifei for the time being, it would be more than enough to kill him as a helpless fifth prince.

Therefore, Cui Que and the others must not be allowed to take anything away.

The third prince raised his chin high and said to Cui Qiu: "Fifth brother, it would be a waste for you to use these things anyway. I will accept them for you. Remember to thank the prince for my kindness."

After saying that, he ordered the eunuchs who were following him to move the things in the yard.

Mo Qin stood in front of those people with quick eyes and hands, protecting the sandalwood box behind him.

He bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you can't take these things away. You are a noble person. You have been under the knees of the imperial concubine since you were born. You have seen countless gold and silver mountains, rare and rare treasures. Why should you follow me?" It’s just a gift. If you want to take something else from Lingxi Palace, your Highness will definitely give it to you. But His Highness the Crown Prince is the only one who can’t reward it. Because the most precious thing is not the treasure in the box but the thoughts that it represents. , among which the kindness and concern of brothers, friends and brothers cannot be measured in gold or silver. If you insist on taking it, you will be unreasonable even if it comes to His Majesty."

Cui Que didn't expect that a mere eunuch would dare to stop him.

Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was cold and full of danger: "Are you threatening me with your father?"

Cui Yuannan immediately shouted loudly: "You dog slave, are you going to commit the following crime? Get out of here!"

However, the head of the person in front of him was almost buried on the ground, but his figure was as firm as a pine tree.

Cui Que, the leader, sneered, unintentionally pulled out the riding crop hanging from his waist, waved it high and whipped it at Mo Qin.

The force was so strong that Mo Qin fell to his knees.The wound on his abdomen was stretched, and the pain of the whipping caused cold sweat to continuously break out from his forehead.

The pitiful fifth prince shouted "Moqin!", rushed to his side, and pulled his sleeve.The panic in his eyes did not subside, adding to the deep concern and worry.

"Moqin, are you okay? Are you okay?!"

When Cui Que saw this, he laughed: "This thing without roots is just soft and will fall over if it can't bear a single blow."

He stepped forward and whipped Mo Qin's drooping face again.Fortunately, Mo Qin fell back in time, otherwise his appearance would have been ruined immediately.

Cui Que missed a hit and was a little irritated.At this time, his eyes narrowed and he saw the face of the panicked eunuch who did not know whether to live or die.

The fair face, reddish peach blossom eyes, and delicate facial features reveal a bright shy and angry attitude, just like a painting demon walking out of a painting, male and female are indistinguishable, and the beauty is so fascinating.

Even though he had long been accustomed to beauties, it was rare for him to encounter a natural gentleman like Mo Qin, who was pure and charming, soft and tough.

Although he is a eunuch, he is born with a unique charm.

Cui Que's move to raise his whip stalled because of this.Instead, he looked at the young man in front of him carefully with an interested look, and his cold and fierce eyes lingered on his face like sticky snake letters.

Mo Qin didn't realize that the domineering third prince had become interested in him because of his beauty.

He knelt on the ground and said in an embarrassing and urgent tone: "Your Highness, Third Highness, I am just a slave. You are willing to kill or chop me. But please don't accidentally hurt Your Highness, Fifth Highness, he..."

Cui Que interrupted impatiently: "Who said that I am going to kill you? It makes me look like a thug who cares about human life. Tell me, what is your name?"

Mo Qin couldn't help but be stunned, unable to realize what the other party meant.

Cui Qiu answered for him: "He is my brother...my brother's close eunuch. He followed my brother all the way from the palace to the palace. Just now, the protector was eager and bumped into the third brother. The third brother was broad-minded, so he forgave me." Let him do it this time.

Cui Que didn't even look at his younger brother. His phoenix eyes were always staring at Mo Qin's face, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he felt.

Then he said in a brisk tone: "Your personal eunuch is quite handsome. Let's do this. I have a lot of lords. As long as you give him to me, I won't care about you today. How about it?"
