III Jiangshan

The carriage rumbled away from Tianjie, and the huge sun was already heading west.

Master Yuan Ling and Dao Jing sat side by side in the carriage.

The car had already left the Meridian Gate, along the Suzaku Avenue, and drove towards the outside of the city. Dao Jing maintained the same posture from the beginning to the end, like a wood carving and clay sculpture.

Along the way, Master Yuan Ling glanced at her several times, but didn't get any response from her.Real Yuan Ling couldn't hold back anymore.

"You're calm!" she snorted.

Dao Jing was still staring blankly at her palm, where Yuan Youqi's body temperature and breath seemed to still linger.

Hearing Yuan Ling's angry words, she suddenly turned her head.

Real Yuan Ling was stared at by her, and he felt even more upset, and hummed: "The poor Taoist pretended to be a ghost for you, you can take it easy!"

Dao Jing, no, it should be said that Mochi heard the words, raised his delicate eyebrows, took out a small porcelain bottle from his closet, poured out a pill, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it.

"I know you've worked hard. I was just thinking about things before, and I didn't intend to ignore you." Mochi said.

She had taken a temporary hoarse medicine before, and she had just swallowed the antidote, so her voice was inevitably hoarse and unnatural.

Master Yuan Ling frowned uncomfortably when he heard the voice that was completely different from her own, and most of the complaints in his stomach could not help but dissipated.

Facing Mochi, she was soft-hearted after all, and felt that confronting each other with a questioning tone would not only break the etiquette of seniors and children, but also seem to be bullying, so she asked Mochi's words: "Are you here?" What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing. I just think that woman in the light yellow skirt is quite weird." Mochi said lightly.

"Wei Zhen? Ha ha! Her idea has long been passed on as a joke in Beijing, so it's naturally weird!" Yuan Ling said with a smile.

"Wei Zhen? Wei Zhouyang's daughter? Wei Xun's granddaughter?" Mo Chi was startled.

"It's her!" Yuan Ling said.

Then he wondered: "You don't recognize her?"

Mochi shook his head lightly: "When I saw her at the beginning of the year, she was still young, so she is always different from now... And after so many years, I never expected to see her there."

Master Yuanling laughed and said, "It can be seen that you have really remembered all the past."

Mo Chi had no intention of being happy with her, and stared at her in deep thought, "Isn't she the queen mother's niece? Why did she call herself a 'concubine' in front of the queen mother?"

Master Yuanling didn't notice this detail, so he thought for a while and said, "I don't understand the thoughts of secular women. However, Wei Zhen has been obsessed with wanting to enter the palace as an imperial concubine all these years, and he has delayed himself until now. it is true."

Mochi suddenly thought of a certain family anecdote that he had heard about, and the image of "toad and toad want to eat swan meat" inexplicably popped up in his mind.

After thinking about it for a while, she understood Wei Zhen's thoughts: the imperial concubine called herself a "concubine" or "concubine" in front of the queen mother, and she was the queen mother's niece, but she said so in order to create a kind The situation, that is, the situation where she is the concubine of the emperor.

The most interesting thing is that a shrewd person like the Empress Dowager Wei did not deny it when she heard her addressing herself like this.Come to think of it, when Yuan Youqi's illness and unconsciousness were covered up tightly, Wei Zhen, the daughter of a foreign minister, was able to enter and leave Yuan Youqi's bedroom in a logical manner. I am afraid that there is a deliberate connivance of the Empress Dowager Wei. exist.

I'm afraid, it's more than connivance...

Daoist Yuan Ling has been in and out of the Tian Family for many years, and he also knows some ceremonial titles.

Seeing that Mochi was silent, she thought that Mochi was worried about something, so she kindly comforted her: "Don't worry, my apprentice never likes to be close to others, there is no way that any concubine would dare to stay in the bedroom like that."

She was originally forgiving Mochi, but once she said that, Mochi's heart felt even more heavy.

"Does any concubine have the opportunity to enter and leave the bedroom?" Mochi asked.

Daoist Yuan Ling was extremely uncomfortable being stared at by her intently, coughed lightly, regained some of the style of a generation of masters, and said calmly: "Of course."

In this way, it is even more worrying.Mochi thought.

Empress Dowager Wei's move shows that Wei Zhen has been regarded as the "unusual" one.

Mochi recalled some broken rumors that he had heard in Ningwang's other courtyard, and he was even more sure that Queen Mother Wei was afraid that she would put her niece into Yuan Youqi's heart wholeheartedly.

She naturally does not believe that Yuan Youqi's heart can be stuffed with a second person besides herself, but when she thinks that Yuan Youqi will have many quarrels with Empress Dowager Wei in the future, she feels a headache and feels sorry for Yuan Youqi. .

As long as she closes her eyes, Yuan Youqi's pitiful state lying there and that thin face are all in her mind.

If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, how could the child have become like that?

He critiqued papers day and night, and even vomited blood...

Mo Chi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Even if her rationality told her that what she did was right and it was a long-term plan, but seeing Yuan Youqi being tortured like that, she still felt so uncomfortable that she would rather be the one who was tortured like that.

Master Yuanling looked at her sad face instead of joy, curled his lips and said, "My disciple is a real one. If you really care about her, don't play tricks on her anymore!"

Mo Chi glanced at her, rarely evading the question, but shook his head slowly, and said seriously: "I didn't play hard to get."

Master Yuanling looked at her like a ghost, and really felt that her senior sister had lived three lives, and the more she lived, the less she knew her.

"What?" Mochi looked sideways at her.

"It's nothing... I just think you've changed a lot." Master Yuan Ling curled his lips again.

Thinking about her identity as the teacher of the Son of Heaven and the Daoist Huguo, the expressions on her face in this moment are more colorful than what she has accumulated in the past ten years.

Master Yuan Ling nodded silently.

I couldn't help but quietly looked at Mochi's side face, thinking that it's a pity, what a pity, such a beautiful and refined face, the beauty of the country is not enough to describe it, but there are so many pockmarks on it, and it is so ugly His face; and that figure...Sheng Sheng pretended to be a lame man!

Master Yuanling shook his head secretly again, suddenly regretting that the pearl was covered in dust.

The senior sister has lived for three lives, and the younger she is, the more beautiful she is. It seems that reincarnation is also an exquisite craft.

Yuan Ling then felt that his senior sister was much better than him.

"I have flowers on my face? Do they look good?" Mochi looked straight into the eyes of Master Shang Yuanling.

Master Yuan Ling was caught off guard, coughed unnaturally, shook his head and said honestly: "It's not good-looking."

Mochi's eyes sank.

The familiar picture of my senior sister teaching me when I was young broke into my mind again, and Master Yuan Ling followed up in panic: "It doesn't look good to dress up like this!"

She raised her voice, trying her best to show that she didn't dislike her senior sister's appearance.Mo Chi couldn't help but smile, and took a deep look at her: You are wise!

Daoist Yuanling felt lingering fears, and said cautiously: "If you put the powder on your face, it will hurt your skin after a long time..."

"It's okay to endure it for two days." Mochi said.

"Two days!" Real Yuan Ling was startled, "You still have to endure this trouble for two days?"

Mochi looked at her speechlessly.

Who would have thought that with the identity of Master Yuan Ling, he would be an upright person with little wealth?

There is always a reason for the birth of man from heaven and earth.Only such a person with a pure heart can cultivate a bit of peace in this chaotic world, right?

The lies I taught her to cover up for him before, I think it is not a small burden for her, right?

Mo Chi's eyes softened, but Yuan Ling's heart was shocked: "Senior Sister, just say what you want. Don't look at me with such eyes! Be careful!"

Mochi was even more speechless, so he could only say: "These two days have been lodged in Yunxu Temple, please don't call me that."

"You want to live in the Yunxu Temple?" Yuan Ling is very good at grasping the key.

if not?Mochi looked at her.

Although Master Yuan Ling has a pure temperament, he is not a fool.Being stared at by Mochi like this, she had a flash of inspiration and suddenly understood something——

"You mean...the queen mother doesn't believe you, so I'll tell you the truth?" She said, she hastily released two points of consciousness, and confirmed that the driver was still the Taoist servant in the temple, and there was nothing unusual around her, so she was relieved.

"If she can easily believe it, she won't be Wei Wan." Mo Chi said, with a hint of meeting an old enemy in his tone.

Master Yuanling thought for a while, and agreed: "The comments you said in the dormitory before are too illusory. She is a person with deep thoughts. It may not be so at the time, but after thinking about it, maybe you will really have doubts."

"That's nothing more than those words. She has been taught by the court since she was young, and she is familiar with the classics and history. She must have dabbled in the "Book of Changes". Plus, what I have read from the hexagrams, she may not be suspicious. What I am worried about is Our trip..."

As Mochi said, he stared at Master Yuanling: "We're on this trip, so she can't help but doubt it."

"After all, it was my selfishness that involved you, Yunxu Guan and Kaiyuan Guan." Mo Chi said guiltily.

This kind of her made Master Yuanling feel extremely uncomfortable.Master Yuanling would rather she was that domineering and stubborn senior sister.

"You are me... Senior Sister, right?" Master Yuan Ling blurted out.

The corner of Mochi's mouth twitched slightly: "Is it too late for you to doubt now?"

Seeing Master Yuan Ling opened his mouth slightly, Mochi smiled: "I haven't been in the fairy class yet!"

This time it was Master Yuanling's mouth twitching.

Now is not the time to make jokes, Mo Chi said, and said sternly: "Based on what I know about Wei Wan, when she recovers, she will definitely send people to Yunxu Temple and Kaiyuan Temple to investigate."

"Don't worry about this, it was arranged in Yunxu Temple last night," Yuan Ling said, "Master Deshang is in Yunxu Temple at this moment, Dao Jing is also real, don't be afraid of her investigation."

Mo Chi said shamelessly: "For my own selfishness, these people were involved... But I knew she was in trouble, so I can't feel at ease if I don't come and see her in person!"

Master Yuan Ling couldn't bear her eyes, turned his face away impatiently, and said sadly: "You are my senior sister, why don't I help you with what you want to do?"

The ink pool moved.

Master Yuanling murmured again: "Since you have figured out who you care about in your heart, why do you have to be so twists and turns? My apprentice is an infatuated kind. Her sincerity plus your intelligence, you enter the palace. What's so difficult about being with her? Why do you have to suffer so much? "

As he spoke, he sighed faintly.She said that Mochi was bitter, so why didn't she think of her disciple who was even more miserable?

These words hit Mochi's heart.

"It's not difficult to enter the palace and be with her. However, you know my identity in this life. With such an identity, being with her, what will people in the world think?" Mo Chi's expression was sad.

"Senior sister, why do you care what people in the world think?" Yuan Ling said bluntly.

In her heart, her senior sister can do everything in order to achieve her goal. People who don't even care about their own lives and reputations will care about the eyes of the world?

"I don't care what people in the world think or say." Mochi said lightly, but the words he said weighed more than a thousand catties——

"What I care about is what kind of person she is in the eyes of the world. I cannot be a stain in her life."
