Mo Yanchi was noncommittal, standing aside and listening to Emperor Hongzhi's treatment of Zhu Qiming, he looked at the burning lamp in the corner, a little lost, his head suddenly went blank, as if everything so far was just a dream, and he was about to wake up.

This thought only lingered in his mind for half a moment before being pushed to the back of his mind by Mo Yanchi.Whether it's a dream or reality, it doesn't matter anymore. He won't remember the past, he will only move forward step by step, until the day when the dust settles, he can stop his pace.

Seeing him in a daze, Emperor Hongzhi yelled dissatisfiedly, "What are you in a daze for?"

"My son is disrespectful. Father, brother, I will follow your opinion, and my son has no objection." Mo Yanchi said.

He had spent the past few days trying to plot against Zhu Qiming, and then he had been waiting for Emperor Hongzhi non-stop. The few catties of meat that Mo Yanchi had managed to raise were gone again. The waist is even more slender.

His eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and his expression was lonely. Emperor Hongzhi looked at it for a long while, but finally couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Chi'er, you have lost weight. Your complexion is not as good as that of a recovering serious illness like me."

Mo Yanchi subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, and said: "Father is strong and strong, my son is ashamed of himself."

"There is something in your heart, so naturally you can't take care of it well. Now that you are a prince, you should let go of some grievances." After Emperor Hongzhi said, he suddenly felt ridiculous, how could he go to enlighten him by himself.

Mo Yanchi smiled and said: "My son will let go of my father's words, I hope my father will also let me go."

Don't hold grudges because of his schemes and calculations, and be terribly disappointed in him.

Emperor Hongzhi has been looking for the shadow of the former empress in Mo Yichi for the past few years, and he can't help substituting her temperament. It is only now that he has realized that this child did not grow up in the palace since he was a child. Yanchi is Mo Yanchi, he has his patience and his bottom line.

"There is nothing I can't let go of. After a hundred years, I will be able to explain to the former empress." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Mo Yanchi's heart moved, and he saluted Emperor Hongzhi.Emperor Hongzhi didn't stop him, just watched quietly, and when he got up again, he ordered someone to give him a seat, and then another big event began.

"Chi'er, I was seriously ill that day and missed your wedding date. Yesterday I asked Qin Tianjian to recalculate the date. One is ten days later, and the other is the nineteenth of next month. You can choose which one you want? "

Mo Yanchi's face turned pale, he got up and knelt down again, without saying a word.

Emperor Hongzhi maintained a smiling face, his brows twitched, he didn't dare to follow his mind, but joked: "Is it too long? Or..."

"Father..." Mo Yanchi interrupted him, "You know the reason."

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his face, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know. If you are not satisfied with Mrs. Sun, there are many good girls in Beijing to choose for you."

Mo Yan hesitated, and said: "Father, my son has been in love with Xiao Qing for a long time, I hope Father will make it happen!"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Hongzhi slapped the table and stood up. Eunuch Li beside him was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound.

The matter between the two of them is like a layer of tulle, vague and unreliable, and there is no trace to be found. Emperor Hongzhi has never dared to think about this matter, and has never been investigated by anyone. What is afraid is that if he investigates like this, the rumors will become rumors. the truth.

Mo Yanchi had already made a plan, he grabbed the ground with his head, and repeated: "I hope my father will do it!"

Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he almost fell ill. He clutched his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "That day you also begged me to help you. If your wings are hardened, you can just mutilate your brothers and feet. Now you can even do this kind of immoral thing! I don't agree, is it because I have plotted against you this time?"

Mo Yanchi didn't say anything, he was sorry to Emperor Hongzhi, and he couldn't be sorry to Xiao Zhijin any more.

The father and son stood and knelt together, and the relationship that was finally eased fell apart again because of the word "fulfillment". Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Li Su, His Royal Highness is young and ignorant, and speaks wild words. I ordered him to close the door and think about his mistakes. There is no will for me. People are not allowed to enter or leave the East Palace. Ten days later, we will marry the Crown Princess."

"Yes." Eunuch Li trembled, and ordered someone to take Mo Yanchi away.

Emperor Hongzhi's heart was very congested, he swept down the table full of memorials, his eyes turned black and then white, he was about to speak to call someone, but he didn't want his feet to go weak, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, it was pitch black outside, and he didn't know how many days he had slept. Eunuch Li dozed off beside the bed. After hearing the noise, he got up and hung up the bed curtains, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, you are awake."

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Only half a day later, the imperial doctor said that you were out of breath, and because of the poison you received last time, you fainted."

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his limbs were weak, and he was sleepy. After asking Eunuch Li to wait on him and drink some water, he fell asleep again.

No one would have imagined that Concubine Jing's poisoned wine from that day was lingering on her body, and the lingering poison was hard to clear. This time, Emperor Hongzhi fell seriously ill after being out of breath.

Every day when he woke up, the first thing Emperor Hongzhi said was to ask Eunuch Li: "What day is today?"

No matter how confused his consciousness is, he still remembers the prince's wedding banquet ten days later, but he has never summoned Mo Yanchi, even though he has already issued a dismissal order to let Mo Yanchi deal with the court affairs, even though he knows that his Chi'er is kneeling Outside the hall, waiting for his summons.

During this period, some palace people whispered, saying that Xiao Zhijin had been kneeling with Mo Yanchi for several days and nights.

Emperor Hongzhi was half asleep and half awake, and didn't want to hear about the two of them.

□□The weather in the month is changeable, the sun is scorching during the day, but it rains at noon, the raindrops hit the window paper, and even the inside of the house is soaked. The dreary weather makes the hurried palace people even more irritable.

The two teenagers outside the hall knelt in front of the door, so they couldn't get out of the rain, but the rain and fog brought by the strong wind were enough to wet their clothes.Xiao Zhijin changed his position, blocked most of the rain for Mo Yichi, and never let go of his hand.

When someone from the palace brought food, Mo Yanchi didn't even look at it until it was soaked by the rain and could no longer be used.

Eunuch Li came out and knelt down on the ground, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is seriously ill, I hope you can take care of yourself, and don't let Your Majesty be sad."

"It's raining heavily outside, father-in-law, let's go in." Mo Yanchi's voice was hoarse, and the tiredness in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Your Highness, I beg you to be soft. If you spare Your Majesty, you will also forgive yourself." Eunuch Li was a slave all his life, diligent and conscientious, and never surpassed. These words were the most daring words he had ever said in his life.

Mo Yanchi's eyes suddenly turned red, and the tears slid down together with the rain, dripping on the polished marble, which was extraordinarily crisp.

Xiao Zhijin compulsively pressed his head and leaned on his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, go in, I will persuade Your Highness."

Eunuch Li sighed, nodded and walked in.

"What do you want to persuade me?"

"Chi'er, it's hard to have two things in this world, I believe you understand, how to choose in today's scene, you also understand, why are you so persecuted?" Xiao Zhijin whispered close to his ear.

Mo Yanchi was at a loss, choked up and said, "I know I'm wrong, and I don't know whether I'm forcing my father or myself? I don't want to hide for the rest of my life and be criticized by others."

"Then follow His Majesty's wishes, marry a wife and have children, this is the way you should go."

"Shut up!" Mo Yanchi pushed him away suddenly, and said with a cold face, "You are not allowed to say that!"

Mo Yanchi doesn't know how to walk this road smoothly, but he is not willing to let Xiao Zhijin carry the darkness alone, how he got here three years ago, Mo Yanchi has no way of understanding, but in the future he wants to follow he goes down.

After a while, I became unreasonable, and used all means for my ends, as if except Xiao Zhijuan, anyone could sacrifice, even Emperor Hongzhi, even myself.

He was frightened by his own thoughts, covered his face and hated: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me..."

Xiao Zhijin hugged him tightly, repeating over and over again: "Chi'er, don't worry, I will always be with you."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and near midnight, there was even a thunderstorm, and the roaring sound made the palace even more dull.

Emperor Hongzhi woke up suddenly, and asked, "Where's Chi'er?"

Eunuch Li didn't sleep, and immediately said: "Still waiting outside the hall..."

Emperor Hongzhi coughed suddenly, even lightning and thunder could not cover his voice, and the hearts of those outside the hall were cut like a knife.

Mo Yanchi couldn't hold on anymore, crawled and knelt outside the door, patted the closed door, and cried, "Father...Father..."

"Ask him, have you ever known your mistake?"

He spoke so loudly that the people outside could hear him clearly, Mo Yichi clasped his hands and slammed on the door a few times, which made people's hearts go cold.

Mo Yanchi was like a tight thread, holding others unwilling to let go, and he himself was on the verge of breaking.

He was almost insane, and he was unable to judge the outcome of this matter, but Xiao Zhi knew that if the trouble continued, their years of hard work would go to waste, not to mention the loss of the emperor's heart, even the court and the people would discuss it.

One is an Israeli servant, one is in a daze, and two half-grown teenagers can't support the whole world. At that time, people's hearts will be in turmoil, and people will move around everywhere, and the country's subjugation will only happen overnight.

Xiao Zhijin hugged Mo Yanchi tightly from behind, and persuaded in a low voice: "Chi'er, forget it, there is nothing wrong with hiding, this matter is originally not tolerated by the world, and everyone in the world knows about it." , will only suffer more infamy.”

"But……"

"In the final analysis, if you didn't hear what Xing Yan and I said that day, you should go through the rest of the road smoothly, marry a wife and have children, and share a family relationship." Xiao Zhijin didn't let go of his hand, but Hugging him even harder, trying to draw some warmth from his cold body.

Mo Yanchi trembled his hands, and listened to him continue: "I didn't expect any ending in the first place, and getting you is my supreme blessing. Chi'er, let go."

"Do you want me to marry that Mrs. Sun?" Mo Yanchi held his wrist, not letting him let go.

Xiao Zhijin chuckled, and said: "You don't like her, don't ruin her for nothing. But it's not the way to go on like this. It's better to be soft first, and then make a long-term plan."

Mo Yanchi closed his eyes, he was suffocated in his heart and didn't go through from the beginning to the end, but he still listened to Xiao Zhijin's words, pulled his hand away, and kowtowed heavily, "I know my mistake."

Eunuch Li, who was standing behind the door, wiped his tears, but did not open the door, and walked back to report.Emperor Hongzhi didn't rest because of this, he waved his hands and said: "Since you know your mistake, then go back and wait to marry Sun."

Eunuch Li hesitated to speak, sighed secretly, and went out to repeat his words.

Hearing this, Mo Yanchi still knelt on the ground without moving, Eunuch Li thought he couldn't get up after kneeling for a long time, so he called the palace servants to come and help him, but Mo Yanchi pushed him away, and said expressionlessly: " The son-in-law must guard the father and wait for the father to recover before leaving."

Xiao Zhijin shook his head and didn't speak again.
