The Way of the Empress

Mudis didn't answer his words, sitting in a wheelchair with a wine glass in his hand, motionless as if he didn't hear Zhuo Yang's words.

Zhuo Yang couldn't figure out what the situation was, he was so nervous that his palms sweated a little, and he didn't dare to go forward rashly. After thinking about it, he summoned his quantum beast Nine-Tailed Fox, and wanted it to replace him. Go and test Moody's current situation.

Once the snow-white Nine-Tailed Fox was released, he was overjoyed. The Quantum Beast’s mind and the owner’s mind are interlinked. Zhuo Yang likes Mudis and regards him as the most special existence. The Nine-Tailed Fox is the same. As soon as it was released, it jumped up to Moody's lap, wanting to be coquettish as usual, let Moody's touch itself, and then it spread out into a blanket on Moody's lap ...

But this time, for some reason, Mudis, who has always been very conniving towards it, rejected the Nine-Tailed Fox's move and closeness to his knee.

He couldn't get up to Moody's knee no matter what, and when he finally tried to go up, Moody's gently pushed him down, refusing his approach.

This made Nine-Tailed Fox, who thought that he had become familiar with Moody's during this period of time, that he could do whatever he wanted with Moody's, and Moody's would not refuse, was extremely wronged.

"Aw~aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." It stood at the feet of Modis and wailed dissatisfiedly, as if accusing Modis of being unlucky enough not to let him get on his lap. His dark eyes were full of grievances, which made people feel distressed. .

Moody's frowned, but finally rejected Nine-Tailed Fox's request to get on his legs.

Nine-Tailed Fox felt even more aggrieved all of a sudden. Unwillingly, he tentatively rubbed his head against Moody's trouser leg, and licked Moody's hanging hand with his tongue, not knowing what he did wrong , very dissatisfied with Mudis's neglect of him.

After all, Mudis couldn't calm down, and raised his hand to touch the head of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which was covered with weak fur.

The Nine-Tailed Fox became happy all of a sudden, and licked Moody's hand again in a coquettish and very cheerful way, very euphemistically hinting that Moody's own intention to get on his leg.

Moody's sighed, and let go of the hand that prevented Nine-Tailed Fox from touching his knee.

The Nine-Tailed Fox jumped up happily and landed on Moody's warm lap, nestled itself into a ball happily, and nestled into Moody's arms.

Zhuo Yang looked at the Quantum Beast that he jumped into Moody's arms, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. After smelling the smell of rum in the air, he took the initiative to ask: "Your Highness, have you drunk? I seem to smell When it comes to the smell of wine... I think, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and your current physical condition may not be suitable for drinking."

He tried to start the conversation with a concerned tone.

"Is the banquet at my uncle's house over?" But Mudis didn't answer his question, but started another thread by himself, lowered his head and touched the nine-tailed fox in his arms, and asked without raising his head Another irrelevant question.

Zhuo Yang answered him: "It's over. Tonight's dinner at His Royal Highness Chang Diqing's residence was very successful and very lively... His Highness Chang Diqing also introduced many people to me."

"Little Emperor's social circle has always been very wide in Emperor Star." Modis stroked the fox in his arms back and forth with his hands.

His hands are big and warm, and the heat makes the Nine-Tailed Fox in his arms feel unusually warm and comfortable, with a sense of security...

Being stroked back and forth by him, the nine-tailed fox that was nestled in his arms immediately stretched comfortably, spread itself into a pool of dough, spread it flat on his thigh, and beat it tenderly. a yawn.

Zhuo Yang didn't know why he suddenly asked the question at the dinner party, worried that he felt lonely because of his inconvenient physical condition, so he said immediately: "Your Highness, do you feel lonely?"

Although Zhuo Yang himself is not a lively person, most people in the world love excitement and are afraid of loneliness...

Because of his physical condition, except for their last wedding, Moody has not been out of the house for more than nine years and attended such a lively social occasion.

It's normal to be yearning for such an occasion.

"Lonely?" Moody's chuckled lightly, but he didn't expect him to ask like this: "Oh, maybe."

Maybe he is really lonely, so he yearns for and cares so much about other people's company. In the past...he was not such a person.

"If you like, we can also hold a banquet, a dance or something to have a good time at home." Zhuo Yang saw that Moody's agreed, and even planned for Moody's: "I think, if it is If you want to hold a banquet, many big figures in the circle will give you face support and regard it as an honor to receive the invitation..."

Although his current physical condition is not very good, it will be very exhausting, tiring and exhausting to be the organizer of events such as banquets and dances, but as long as Moody can cheer up, he is willing to ask him to do anything.

Moody has been lonely and indifferent for so long, it's time to be lively and happy.

After listening to his suggestion, Moody shook his head: "No need, I don't have the same interest as the little emperor and my mother, and I don't like this kind of noisy activities. I said I'm lonely... because of it. "

His eyes fell on Zhuo Yang, but he closed his mouth... for what reason, he didn't say it.

"Because, what? Your Highness." Zhuo Yang looked at him puzzled.

Moody's pressed his brow that was a little sore from drinking, tried to change the subject but asked, "It's nothing, did you meet anyone tonight?"

"His Royal Highness Changdiqing, Mrs. Anne, Duke Andrew...Major General Wang, Lieutenant Yang...There are many, many people." Zhuo Yang desperately recalled how many people he met tonight as if reporting work, and they were all in Mudis. Reported out in front of him.

He is eloquent and slick in front of many people, but in front of this person he likes the most, he looks like a dumb dumb who can't speak and only asks and answers.

Moodys asked a question, and he answered, without knowing how to turn or turn.

Looking at his straightforward appearance, Mudis didn't know whether he should cry or laugh... In fact, Zhuo Yang often gave him the illusion that the other party liked him very much.

Although, he didn't know if this liking was true or not, but he still...

Modis stared at Zhuo Yang for a while, and after Zhuo Yang reported a long list, he suddenly asked: "What kind of person is the person you like?"

As soon as the voice fell, the entire room fell silent, as if even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard clearly.

Zhuo Yang didn't move for a while, but the nine-tailed fox in Moody's arms suddenly stood up as if he had been greatly stimulated. The whole fox seemed to have exploded, showing the owner's flustered heart.

"Your Highness... why, why did you suddenly ask this question?" Zhuo Yang licked his lips, and the Nine-Tailed Fox relaxed again, and spread back into the distance.

Asking Moody's like this made him almost have the illusion that Moody's also fell in love with him...

Mudis tilted his head and looked at the dim light in the room: "However, I just suddenly felt a little curious. You might as well talk about it."

"He...he is a very good person." Zhuo Yang looked at Mudis, almost for a moment he had the urge to blurt out that the person he liked was him, but in the end he calmed down and stopped In spite of his own impulse, he gave a safer answer.

Mudis stared at Zhuo Yang for a long time, then suddenly smiled mockingly: "Very good, is he a very good person? Heh——"

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhuo Yang said.

Modis stared at him for some reason, but when he looked into Zhuo Yang's eyes and listened to his answer about what kind of person he liked, he suddenly had a particularly indescribable, sour and obscure feeling , the feeling came from nowhere, but it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Is it jealousy or jealousy?

Moodys didn't know, he only knew that he shouldn't have such narrow, obscure, dark thoughts, it's not good, his reason told him so.

However, maybe it was because of drinking, maybe it was something else... But he couldn't control himself...

I can't control myself to have bad and shouldn't have thoughts.

It was as if a beast had sprung from the bottom of his heart because of drinking and long-term loneliness, and the beast was clamoring: "He is your crown princess, he should belong to you, and should stay by your side forever, whether it is He and his nine-tailed fox are the same... that's what the law says, isn't it?"

"Do you know Gordon Corey?" Moodys forcibly suppressed all his bad emotions, made himself very calm, and asked casually.

Zhuo Yang panicked, and the nine-tailed fox on Moody's lap unconsciously pricked up its ears and became alert.

But he still made himself look very calm, and replied in a relaxed manner: "Yes, Your Excellency the Secretary-General. The loyal suitor of His Highness Chang Diqing, and the brother of the second prince's boyfriend Lant Corey."

"Then... what kind of person do you think he is?" Mudis looked at him fixedly and asked again.

Zhuo Yang thought about it for a moment, and made a very pertinent evaluation: "He is a very outstanding politician and... careerist."

"So are you familiar with him?" Moody asked him very bluntly.

Zhuo Yang froze, and his whole body froze.His intuition told him that something was wrong, that everything was wrong, that Moody might know something... that he and Gordon...

He really wanted to panic and lose his mind, but in the end he calmed down and called out: "Your Highness..."

But nothing came out.

"You and him should have known each other very early, 13 years old, I met him when you were 13 years old, it was considered that he deliberately approached you, since then you have maintained a strange relationship, few people on the surface I know you are acquainted, but you have always had a relationship in private, and you often meet to avoid people's eyes, he has done many things for you, and you have used him to help you do many things." Modis did not press the question He insisted on asking him for an answer, but he chose to speak up by himself, and said everything he knew: "Even, even your brother escaped marriage, and your family hopes that you will marry me instead of him. At the beginning, I didn't want to, because he tried to persuade you to compromise and marry me, didn't he?"

The hairs all over Zhuo Yang's body stood up, and he was extremely nervous.

He had known for a long time that Moody's power was not small, and he could find out many things he wanted to find out, but he didn't know that he could even find out such secret things that Gordon had carefully concealed over and over again. .

I can't hide it from him at all...

Moodys said: "Taking advantage of the opportunity of the little emperor's uncle hosting this dinner today, he asked you to meet again in private, and you chatted for a long time. What did you say, and what did he say to you?"

"Let me guess, it probably has something to do with me and our marriage." He tapped his index finger on the table: "He advised you to seduce me emotionally, through the crown princess, my legal partner status and I have a relationship as soon as possible." My child, fortunately, I will use this child and my two younger brothers to seize power in the future and disrupt this country, right?"

When he first investigated this, Mudis was very uncomfortable, and it was for this reason that he made an exception and drank so much alcohol regardless of his health.

He didn't think about how to continue to face Zhuo Yang, but now he can say these things calmly.

The fur all over Zhuo Yang's body exploded, as did the fox in Moody's arms.

Seeing him like this, Mudis immediately said softly: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't eavesdrop on your conversation, and I don't know a lot. I just guessed randomly, but judging by your expression, I think I should guess well." Nine is not far from ten."

Zhuo Yang's back collapsed into a mallet, extremely stiff, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

"I tell you this, and I don't mean to threaten you, nor do I mean to take you in any way." Mudis stiffened the whole nine-tailed fox in his hand, and immediately used his warm big I smoothed the fur of the fox with my palm, and rubbed the nine-tailed fox: "I just want to remind you out of our husband and wife relationship, our legal spouse relationship and position, Gordon Corey is not a good person, and he is not a good person. Not a man worth loving."

He fixedly looked at Zhuo Yang and said: "You are very smart, that's right... But in front of an old fox like him, who is so messed up in the political arena, I'm afraid you can't beat him, and you can only be used by him as his pawn." .”

He was very patient with Zhuo Yang.

After Zhuo Yang heard his words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person who was so frightened that he froze unsealed.
