Tread thousands of dust

Xiang Yixin nodded: "You ask."

Mo Fengyi hesitated for a while before saying: "I want to ask... why you have written to me these past few years..."

Xiang Yi was puzzled and said, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"I...I'm not sure if you..."

"Feng'er, I know why you ask like this, because I don't understand, don't you believe us?" Xiang Yixin's voice was very soft, but Mo Fengyi's heart was shocked.

"I......"

Xiang Yixin continued: "I told you before that the imperial city and the imperial palace are your home. Although you are no longer here, I hope you can still treat us as relatives."

Mo Feng hesitated and didn't know what to say, but he still said: "Two days ago...His Royal Highness just trained me, saying that I am hard-hearted, like an unfamiliar wolf, I am not convinced, I don’t think I’m wrong, after all, I haven’t been to the Imperial City for a long time..."

"Feng'er, I told you this and wrote you a letter to plan for you. I didn't want you to thank us, let alone expect you to return to the court. We just hope that you always remember that there is such a place where you can come back at any time. The imperial city is I don't want you to forget the home that your mother missed the most." Every word of Xiang Yi's heart hit Mo Fengyi's heart.

Mo Fengyi clenched the corner of his clothes tightly, listening to her like a helpless child, and then said: "I know I was wrong..."

Xiang Yixin said in relief: "Feng'er, you are not wrong, you just can't open your heart to people you don't know well, it's not a fault, let alone a disease. Feng'er, you just need time."

Mo Fengyi gritted his teeth and lowered his head, Xiang Yixin gently stroked his hair: "You have grown up, you should bear these things, and you should think about how you should face all these things."

Mo Fengyi nodded obediently, raised his eyes and asked: "Then aunt... the emperor's grandmother passed away suddenly, and the prince's marriage was also cancelled, are we..."

"What the emperor means is that Leiyue Temple will invite the envoys from all over the world to come to the temple to pray for blessings. This will make up for their regret that they were not able to attend the prince's wedding banquet. You must also come when the time comes." Xiang Yi recovered her tenderness. smiling eyes.

Mo Fengyi struggled for a while, but still nodded: "I will definitely come."

Xiang Yixin touched his face: "Feng'er is the most sensible."

As soon as Mo Fengyi left the palace, he was called to Prince Wei Bin's mansion.

"Does Zongshi have any plans for the Thunder Moon Festival this time?" Shu Renlu said with a smile.

Mo Fengyi raised his eyebrows: "Does this matter have something to do with me? The emperor has entrusted the prince, of course you have to worry about it."

Shu Renlu smiled lightly and said: "I remember that when Zongshi came, he helped the prince organize the Thunder Moon Festival. I think Zongshi has some experience, why don't you come with me?"

Mo Feng smiled and said: "I'm just an idle savage, and the title of son is just a title. I don't want to interfere with the affairs of the court."

"But I didn't manage my second brother's marriage well. If I want to regain trust in front of my father, I can only use this opportunity." Shu Renlu said with a fake smile.

Mo Fengyi nodded: "Of course I know the prince's intentions, but if I want to make this Thunder Moon Festival a success, I'm afraid I can't do anything."

"Zongshi is No. 1 in Jianghu, how can he be entangled in these?" Shu Renlu pursed his lips and said, "This Thunder Moon Festival is very special. The court envoys are also coming, we must not neglect."

Mo Fengyi frowned and said: "I know all this, but even if I help His Highness, I don't know what to do."

Shu Renlu teased: "Now in front of my father, I have spent my family's wealth for the locust plague. If I spend the money on the Thunder Moon Festival this time, I'm afraid I should be exposed."

Mo Fengyi heard something was wrong, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be..."

"To tell you the truth, even if I am willing to give away all my money for the locust plague, I can't give up all of it." Shu Renlu narrowed his eyes and said.

Mo Feng smiled and said: "So...Your Highness has other channels to make money"

"Isn't this normal? Could it be that with those salaries, my palace is enough?" Shu Renlu laughed presumptuously.

Mo Fengyi asked: "What does the lord mean..."

"Although the organization of the Thunder Moon Festival is sponsored by the Ministry of Rites, Xiang Qianrong is not a good person. If I listen to him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any profit from it." Shu Renlu sighed, "But I have to let him do it willingly." This silver tael."

Mo Fengyi was stunned for a moment when he heard that, what Shu Renlu meant was that he wanted to ask the Ministry of Rites for money on the grounds that his family's wealth was gone, and then greedy for it himself?

He didn't know whether to speak or not, so he could only say: "Hasn't the Xiang family been helping His Highness all the time? Why do you need to worry about this?"

"Don't talk about Xiang Qianrong, my uncle may not help me. I was greedy during the locust plague, and he kept scolding me." Shu Renlu shook his head helplessly.

"But isn't this irrelevant to him? Xiang Qianrong is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. We just need to establish a good relationship with him. The prince and him are brothers, so why worry?" Mo Feng wondered, "If the prince needs it, why not?" I go"

"You don't know, this Xiang Qianrong has a good relationship with the boy of Gongsun's family. Before Gongsun Songli was not on the expedition, Xiang Qianrong led him to practice martial arts every day."

Mo Feng asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Shu Renlu had no choice but to continue: "The Zong Shi doesn't know something, Gongsun Songli is nothing, his father is not ordinary, that old man is always trying to trouble me."

"why"

"During the disaster relief before, I sent 5000 people from the Ministry of War to follow me to the disaster area, but I only brought back less than 3000 people, and Gongsun Ao kept making trouble for me." Shu Renlu looked disdainful, "He doesn't even look at Seeing who I am, what's the use of impeaching me with just one mouth? Does the emperor believe him?"

Mo Fengyi said helplessly: "Your Highness, what you mean is that the people sent out by the Ministry of War stayed there?"

"What do you think the locust plague is? The locusts cross the border like wildfire and start a prairie fire. It can't be quelled overnight." Shu Renlu smiled sinisterly, "There are too many people sent by the imperial court. The more they eat, the more money they spend. This disaster It's harder to stop."

Mo Fengyi frowned and said: "But the imperial court sent troops to suppress those who fled. If the number is not enough..."

"Zongshi, what if those soldiers don't eat? What if it is saved for the common people? Isn't it simple, wouldn't the money allocated by the court be saved?" Shu Renlu held a teacup with a clear face.

Mo Fengyi suddenly felt a chill run down his back. These people saved, how could they not eat or drink? In other words...they are already dead.

"However, more than half of the troops sent out were killed or injured. How can we explain this to the court?" Mo Fengyi really couldn't figure it out.

"The last thing the imperial court needs is an explanation. I just need to tell them that an unknown plague broke out when the locust plague was prevalent." Shu Renlu said without a wave.

Mo Fengyi frowned. Shu Renlu's meaning was obvious. He killed those people and swallowed up the money for food. I'm afraid the court will allocate an extra tens of thousands of taels to him because of the rumor of the plague. Family wealth, but fame and fortune.

But Mo Fengyi didn't understand, could it be that the imperial court is all fools?Does no one dare to expose it?

Shu Renlu said contemptuously: "They thought they could catch me, just like that Gongsun Ao, but it's a pity that the father didn't believe it at all, and even refuted him, those civil and military officials were sober, and no one dared to mention it again."

Mo Fengyi immediately understood, it wasn't that the officials couldn't catch it, and it wasn't that they were stupid, it's just that King Wei Bin was favored alone, and unless absolute evidence was found, a meritorious veteran like Gongsun Ao would be refuted. Officials were even more frightened.

Mo Feng said with a strange smile: "Then His Highness has nothing to worry about. Even if Xiang Qianrong has a good relationship with Gongsun Songli, he may not be on his side, is it?"

"But I'm a little worried after all." Shu Renlu said.

Mo Fengyi raised his eyebrows and suggested: "Then I'll go and talk to him, so that His Highness can rest assured."

Shu Renlu nodded: "Alright, I've already started preparations recently, and I don't have time to chat with him, but Zong Shi, I really didn't expect you to be willing to help."

Mo Feng smiled and said: "I know His Highness trusts me, so I told me this, I have to help His Highness do something really, I didn't do anything well for the bride price last time."

Shu Renlu was relieved a lot, and the servant suddenly came to report: "My lord, the concubine is back."

Shu Renlu said happily: "Zong Shi, I don't think you have seen my wife and daughter yet."

Mo Fengyi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

Jiang Zhi entered the door excitedly, the moment she saw Mo Fengyi, her complexion turned bad, but she didn't make a sound, and the servant behind her also entered the door with a baby in her arms.

"My lord, why didn't you tell me that the guests came to the mansion today, so that the servants could prepare two more dishes." Jiang Zhi walked gracefully and sat down beside Shu Renlu.

"Don't be restrained, Zongshi is not an outsider. Zongshi, this is my wife Jiang Mang and my daughter Shu Ziyao, who just turned two years old a few months ago." Shu Renlu smiled like a loving father.

Mo Fengyi looked at the little doll who was just going to leave, and it was so cute and cute.

Mo Feng's eyebrows and eyes curved: "The prince is really blessed, the princess is very cute."

Shu Renlu was unabashedly happy: "Yes, but the queen mother just passed away, and you can't get married, otherwise I plan to introduce you to some ladies from aristocratic families."

Mo Fengyi quickly waved his hands and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I can't bear this, so I'll go back first."

Shu Renlu nodded.

"My lord stay here."

After Mo Fengyi left, Jiang Mang massaged Shu Renlu's shoulder and asked, "My lord, is this Mo Fengyi really believable?"

Shu Renlu sneered and said, "I remember that you had a relationship with that dancer Hanna."

Jiang Mang was taken aback. She did know Yin Nihong once, but she didn't want to have any more contact with that stern woman.

"Why does the prince ask this?"

Shu Renlu took her hand and said, "Xiao Zhi, I said that I would never let you be looked down upon, but now I need your help."

Jiang Zhi asked suspiciously, "Does the lord want to contact the Hanna people?"

"That Mo Fengyi...heh... how could he be loyal to me, but if he is not loyal to me, I will never let him have the opportunity to help the prince!" Shu Renlu gritted his teeth, "I am talking to you today He said a lot and he should think I really trusted him."

Jiang Zhi asked softly: "Is the prince planning to kill the grass?"

Shu Renlu smiled slyly and said: "Yes, after all, the Wenyu League is too terrible. Once it falls into the hands of the prince, it will be difficult for me to control the power in the world."

"Isn't there Chongyu Villa? The prince has already taken it down." Jiang Zhi asked curiously.

Shu Renlu said contemptuously: "Wenyu League's century-old foundation, how could it be comparable to Chongyu Villa? So I must destroy Mo Fengyi, so as to avoid future troubles forever."

"But the concubine just looked at him, it seems that he is helping the prince. If you can use it first, why should the prince let go of this opportunity?" Jiang Zhi suggested.

Shu Renlu rubbed Jiang Zhi into his arms: "My beauty, you really know me too well, of course I have to use him first."

Jiang Zhi leaned softly into his arms: "My lord...my concubine will definitely help you..."

"Okay, okay...don't mention these..."

The servants silently took the child out and closed the door.

Mo Fengyi was already very angry before entering the door.

"Who did this!"

Hou Ke hurried out of the room and shouted: "Master! Master! Don't be angry!"

Mo Fengyi stood still with his arms folded, with an expression on his face that someone owed him the whole casino.

"Master...this is something from His Highness the Crown Prince." Hou Ke explained tremblingly.

Mo Fengyi burst of blood rushed to the top of his head, and strode directly to the side.

"Xun Can! Come out!"

As he said that, he kicked the door fiercely. The guards at the door knew his background and dared not persuade or stop him.

Finally, Xun Can came to the door unsteadily, and asked condescendingly, "His Royal Highness, there is a noble person."

Mo Fengyi quickly went up, grabbed Xun Can's arm and walked towards Linfeng Wanxuan. He pulled it in front of a pile of boxes and said angrily, "Order someone to remove these for me!"

Xun Can was puzzled and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Didn't you give it last time? As I said, Zi Ming doesn't need it! Take it away!"

Xun Can shrugged: "I'm sorry Your Highness, I really don't know where these things come from."

Mo Fengyi still wanted to speak, but Hou Ke hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Master...it is indeed not sent by this general..."

"Get out!" Mo Feng was so angry that he couldn't think of anything.

Xun Can pouted at him with a smile, Mo Fengyi followed his gaze and looked down.

He was about to die, why did he hold on to Xun Can and never let go?

Mo Fengyi's arrogance dissipated immediately, he silently let go, but still insisted: "You and the prince are on good terms, we are originally from different camps, it is even more impossible for Zi Ming to be with him, you all give up!"

Xun Can grasps the key point: "I want to give up too"

Mo Fengyi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately stammered: "Uh...I mean...you should give up on sending things..."

The more Mo Fengyi talked, the more he felt that he was sweating, and then his tongue became knotted.

Xun Can took a step closer to him with a smile, leaned into his ear and said, "What if I don't give up?"

Mo Fengyi's ears instantly became hot, "I...I...we are...enemies, okay..."

Mo Fengyi immediately wanted to slap himself to death, how could he blush at the enemy?

Hou Ke looked at Mo Fengyi blankly, didn't he come to him and talk just now?Why does this general want to learn from him, and what did this general say? Why is Master so nervous

"Really, His Royal Highness"

Xun Can said another sentence, Mo Fengyi's heart was about to flutter, that sentence "His Royal Highness" was too soft and soft, like a feather brushing against his heart, he knew that he hated this name the most, but it was so unscrupulous The provocative tone instantly calmed Mo Fengyi's uneasiness.

Fortunately, Ling Ziming came out in time, otherwise Mo Fengyi really didn't know how he would end up.

"brother"

"Uh...ah what"

Ling Ziming repeated: "I ask you, why are you in a daze?"

Mo Feng came back to his senses, and found that Xun Can beside him was smiling as if he was watching a play.

Mo Fengyi was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the ground, but he managed to calm down and said, "Do you know where these things come from?"

Ling Ziming nodded helplessly: "The prince came in the afternoon, he gave these as gifts, and threw them away if he said he didn't like them."

"Then what are you doing at the door?" Mo Feng asked anxiously, frowning.

Ling Ziming hesitated: "I...I don't know whether I should throw it..."

Mo Fengyi glanced at Xun Can and said, "So, why send it away, it's just annoying."

Xun Can said: "Miss Ling, you don't have to be burdened, this is what His Highness is willing to do."

Mo Fengyi sneered: "It's really interesting. The deliveries are all blocked at the door, and you let others have no burden? You are breaking into a private house, do you know?"

Xun Can became indifferent and said: "His Royal Highness, this has nothing to do with you, you should also listen to Zi Ming's opinion."

"I'm her brother! Listen to me, don't let me see these things again from now on!" Mo Feng said angrily, the flush on his face and ears hadn't subsided yet, fortunately it was getting dark now, It should not be clear.

Xun Can thought it was a little cute, but Mo Fengyi said that these really have no deterrent effect.He has never been able to interfere with Ling Ziming's decision, but whenever Ling Ziming said "accepted", he would definitely welcome Shu Qiyun into the door happily. The problem is that now Ling Ziming is uncertain, so Mo Fengyi is helping her. determination.

Xun Can sighed: "Miss Ling, in fact, you should have decided earlier, if..."

"Brother Xun, I have already made up my mind." Ling Ziming said helplessly, "It's just that he never gives up...I don't know what to do."

Mo Feng said strangely: "Look, look, you have forced my sister to be like this, Xun Can, if you have any conscience, tell him not to send her away!"

Xun Can had no choice but to say: "Miss Ling, I will tell His Highness."

Ling Ziming suddenly said: "Brother Xun, I want to have a chat with you alone, can I?"

Mo Feng frowned strangely, Xun Can was also taken aback,

"I"

Ling Ziming nodded: "Yes, can I? Right now."

He gave Mo Fengyi a puzzled look, but the man didn't look at him, but kept looking at Ling Ziming.
