Quick wear: when I get close to you

Mo Mo said respectfully: "Those words are what she wanted to say."

Zhong Liyuan stared at Mo Mo for a while, then waved and said, "Go back."

Mo Mo was a little surprised. Are you letting yourself go now? She quickly glanced at Zhong Liyuan's expression and saluted again: "Yes."

Why do you always feel like there's something weird about him?

Mo Mo shuttled through the palace at night, paying attention to the maids and eunuchs walking in the palace, and at the same time paying attention to the guards patrolling back and forth. He was speechless for a moment. The emperor called him over just to ask him a question. ?

While he was thinking, Mo Mo saw Nan Cheng standing in front of him.

Mo Mo stopped and asked, "Nancheng? What's the matter?"

Nan Cheng shook his head: "Passing by."

Mo Mo glanced at him suspiciously and started to leave.

"I advise you to stay away from those women." Nan Cheng said.

Mo Mo stopped again and looked at Nan Cheng in front of him. In the night, his facial expression was not very clear, but it was not difficult to hear that there was no sarcasm in his words, but more like a piece of advice.

Although he didn't quite understand why Nancheng suddenly reminded him kindly, Mo Mo still nodded and said: "I understand, thank you."

Just kidding, since I was placed in the harem, it was impossible not to come into contact with the concubines, not to mention that I still had a mission.

However, Nancheng did remind himself that a test is a test and a task is a task. It is better not to get too close to them. However, there are too many variables and it is difficult for Mo Mo to control them.

A week passed, and Mo Mo had almost explored the people in the harem, and everything was considered peaceful.

In fact, the women who came to the palace had more or less small thoughts. Some hoped that their families would become better and better, some hoped that they could fly on a branch and become a phoenix and soar into the sky, and some wanted to be like Uncle. Friends like Ranran and Qilin Ruixue just hope that they can live in peace in the harem and not cause trouble for their country.

And Ai Yayue...

Mo Mo hasn't had much chance to get in touch with her recently, not to mention that the two of them have a completely tit-for-tat relationship now, and there's no way to test her.

During this week, Zhongliyuan never summoned any women from the harem. For a while, the small lakeside courtyard where Mo Mo stayed attracted everyone's attention.

The emperor summoned the women from the harem twice in total, but both of them were still from the small courtyard by the lake.

Mo Mo was the first to be summoned, followed closely by Nisigong Lishu.

Although everyone knew that the reason why Xi Gong Li Shu was summoned was just a coincidence, they could not help but speculate. Some even speculated that Mo Mo was partly responsible for Xi Gong Li Shu being summoned.

These words were passed around and reached Ai Yayue's ears, and Ai Yayue was about to bite her silver teeth into pieces.

Mo Mo also read the story book sent by his uncle Ranran this week.

What made Mo Mo feel strange was that this book didn't look like it was made by an ordinary hawker. Generally, the book covers at street stalls were made of paper with the title of the book on it.

But this book recording Zhongli Yuan's atrocities has a cloth cover, and the name is directly embroidered on it. Moreover, the cloth doesn't look special, and it seems that it can be easily bought on the street.

With the consent of his friend Ranran, Mo Mo cut off a corner of the cover and used a needle to pick it open, trying to see if there was anything special in the threads used for weaving, but he still found nothing.

Is it possible that this notebook is really just a folk notebook for recording gossip?

But who among the people has the courage to record Zhongliyuan’s gossip? What's more, it's all bad. If this spreads widely, any mistake Zhongliyuan makes in governing the country will be a disaster.

After thinking for a while, Mo Mo took advantage of the night to bring this book to Nancheng.

"Nancheng, recently I discovered that there is such a book among the people. It records some of His Majesty's... atrocities. I have always felt that this book will not appear for no reason, but now I can't leave the palace. It's nothing. I have a clue, so can I ask you to go and investigate?"

Nan Cheng took the notebook and frowned after flipping through it: "This is nonsense."

Mo Mo nodded: "Yes, yes, so I think it's better to find out the source of this book as soon as possible and destroy it."

Nan Cheng responded: "I'll just send someone to investigate."

After Mo Mo thanked him, he was confused whether he should say a few polite words or leave directly. Just say a few polite words, it seemed unnecessary; it seemed strange to leave directly.

After being entangled, Mo Mo decided to leave directly. After all, it was said that he was doing himself a favor, but in the final analysis, wasn't it all for Zhong Liyuan?

So it seems that there is no need to separate them so clearly, they are just the responsibilities of the secret guards.

"That……"

"you……"

Unexpectedly, they both spoke at the same time. Mo Mo was stunned, raised his hand and said, "You go ahead and speak."

Nan Cheng coughed twice and glanced elsewhere, "How have you completed your recent... tasks?"

Mo Mo didn't expect Nancheng to greet him politely first. He thought Nancheng was the kind of emotionless secret guard.

Well... Actually, it's not true if you think about it carefully. After all, he kindly reminded himself last time.

Mo Mo nodded: "It's okay. Everything will have to wait for the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the near future."

Nan Cheng nodded, and the two of them looked at each other in silence for a while.

Mo Mo looked at Nancheng and thought she should exchange a few words, so she asked, "What about you? Have you taken on any difficult tasks recently?"

Nan Cheng shook his head: "It's not a difficult task for me."

Mo Mo raised an eyebrow, so confident?

"Then what if I ask you to take on this mission from me?"

Mo Mo thought about the sight of the tall and thick man in front of him wearing women's clothes and couldn't help but laugh.

Nan Cheng choked at Mo Mo's words and couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Mo Mo laughing so hard that his eyes were bent: "That's indeed a bit difficult."

A rare soft word.

Mo Mo smiled heartily and patted Nan Cheng on the shoulder: "I'm leaving then. Remember to tell me if you find anything."

Nan Cheng nodded.

In the afternoon of the next day, Mo Mo was sitting in the courtyard chatting with Xi Gong Lishu, when the young eunuch came to deliver a message.

The little eunuch looked familiar to Mo Mo. He seemed to be the little eunuch beside Eunuch Li in the service room.

Mo Mo understood. Is this another time for someone to sleep with you?

Sure enough, Xi Gong Lishu accepted the instruction to go to bed.

Nisigong Lishu was a little worried: "Is this... something unexpected happened?"

Mo Mo shook his head: "It doesn't look like it."

If something happened to Zhongliyuan, he should have known about it a long time ago. "It's okay. Don't worry. You'll find out when you go tonight anyway."

Looking at Mo Mo, Xi Gong Lishu pursed her lips and asked, "Bai He, what kind of person do you think His Majesty... is?"

Mo Mo was a little surprised as to why Xi Gong Lishu asked this question. Could it be that she was chatting with him as her little sister? Or is there some conspiracy?

There is no way, as a secret guard it is indeed easy to have conspiracy theories.

"His Majesty must be very powerful to build Zhongli Country into such a prosperous and powerful state in just ten years. I admire him very much."

Xi Gong Lishu looked at Mo Mo and was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed."

Mo Mo looked at Xi Gong Lishu and said nothing. He simply stopped worrying about this topic and just thought she was just chatting.
