Dedicated to life

Not long after Ling Mojin returned to Yuhua Palace after the court, Mo Chengxiao followed her.

"My queen, the disaster in Shu has already sent reliable officials to help the disaster in person. The prime minister said that he is a clean official, and I believe that I will be able to handle the matter well."

Mo Chengxiao told her how he dealt with the disaster relief, sending officials there so directly should be consistent with what Ling Mojin said that day.

"The emperor is doing very well." Looking at his thin face, Ling Mojin felt guilt welling up in her heart. Although she assisted him in handling political affairs, she was the emperor after all. Comparable to the prince.

"I've become a little thinner these days. Does the emperor blame the queen mother?" Ling Mojin's words were pun intended. On the surface, she was just asking Mo Chengxiao if she was to blame for being so tired now, but in fact she was blaming herself for the reason. His plan made Mo Chengxiao feel guilty for taking such a heavy responsibility at a young age.

Mo Chengxiao shook his head and said: "No, I have to thank my queen mother. These days, I have learned a lot of things that are not in books."

He didn't know why his mother would ask this question, but after becoming the throne, he really couldn't have as much fun as before, but he didn't complain, this was the path he had to take sooner or later.

Although Mo Chengxiao is young, he is also very sensible, which is why Ling Mojin thinks he can be enthroned. It doesn't matter if he can't handle political affairs, as long as he is willing to listen and learn, he will become a great emperor in time.

"My son retired first, so my mother can rest." Mo Chengxiao always felt that his mother was a little tired recently. Although she didn't say it out loud, he could still feel it. After he finished what he had to say, he sensiblely wanted to leave leave.

"Mother's queen." Mo Chengxiao called Ling Mojin again before leaving.

"Ok?"

"Sister Yu will definitely wake up, and I will wait with you." Mo Chengxiao had a firm expression on his immature face.

The phrase "I will definitely wake up" made Ling Mojin feel a little warm in her heart. If it is said that she has been comforting herself these days, then this must be the first time in many days that she has been so concerned about Yu Qingge's awakening. Be confident.

Ling Mojin nodded with a slight smile, and watched Mo Chengxiao leave, her unopened body grew taller and taller in Ling Mojin's heart.

She walked back to Yu Qingge's bed, staring at the familiar face, but there was still no sign of waking up.

Yu Qingge, do you know I'm waiting for you?Why are you willing to sleep for so long?

Ling Mojin lifted the brocade and kneaded Yu Qingge's arm. The imperial doctor told her that Yu Qingge had been in a coma for too long. In order to avoid blood clogging and numbness of hands and feet, it was best for the palace servants to pinch for her from time to time. Squeeze your muscles.

But Ling Mojin took this matter to herself, she would never let the palace servants do it for her in anything related to Yu Qingge, at most she just helped her.

"Qingge, do you still remember Xiao'er? You met him at his birthday banquet, and he is handling all aspects of affairs very well." Ling Mojin's voice carried a faint smile, as if she was really Like talking to Yu Qingge.

These days, Ling Mojin has been used to talking to her in a coma like this, telling her what happened recently, even though she is still lying quietly on the bed, she will not answer.

"Early after that banquet, he told me that you have spied on me many times, so do you think you really kept it from everyone?" Speaking of Mo Chengxiao, Ling Mojin remembered what Mo Chengxiao told me before. When it happened to me, I felt in my heart that the days to come would not be peaceful. Sure enough, Yu Qingge came for me from the beginning.

Yu Qingge on the bed didn't move, she seemed to be really listening to Ling Mojin's words.

"Do you still remember my younger brother Ling Jiangxuan? He married a few days ago. Although that woman is not the daughter of a high-ranking official, she is beautiful and pleasant, and has a good character. She is a perfect match for him. "Ling Mojin still remembers that Ling Jiangxuan had a little affection for Yu Qingge at the beginning, but she was blocked by her own words. It should be the first time she showed possessiveness towards Yu Qingge, but she was sending Ling Jiangxuan away. Jiang Xuan was discovered by her later.

"Tell me, if you had approached me earlier and I had been tempted earlier, would I have been able to spend more time together and avoid this incident?"

Ling Mojin stretched out her hand and lightly touched the newly scabbed scar on Yu Qingge's wrist. The ferocity of that scar still reminded Ling Mojin of that day that even though her hands were bandaged, they were still bloody.

Yu Qingge is such an outstanding woman, with peerless looks, superb martial arts, and a prominent family background, but now she almost gave up her life because of this relationship, and her martial arts were also abolished, in exchange for such a hideous wound.

"Qingge, do you regret choosing to approach me step by step? If it wasn't for me, you would be happy in this life...it shouldn't be like this..." Ling Mojin's voice became smaller and smaller, because she I could hardly control the tears from falling.

"Mother..." When Yingyue came in, she happened to see Ling Mojin raised her head and closed her eyes. She has been with Ling Mojin for so many years, almost 20 years, how could she not know her temperament?

She must be sad, since Mo Chengxiao came to the throne, she seldom showed that expression of despair, and today she must have recalled the past inadvertently.

Hearing Yingyue's voice, Ling Mojin calmed down and opened her eyes.

"It's been dealt with?" She didn't turn around immediately, but turned to ask Yingyue after covering Yu Qingge with the quilt.

"Yes, Concubine Liang has been sent out of the palace."

"That's good." Ling Mojin walked to the window, thinking in her heart, letting Concubine Liang go was not a sudden decision, Concubine Liang is still young, there is no need to die alone in the cold palace because of that matter.

These days, Ling Mojin has sent someone to question the women in Mo Haoxuan's harem one by one, those who want to stay can stay, and those who don't want to stay can also leave the palace.

Almost no one in the court agreed to this matter, because Nanheng had already abolished the law that the concubine was buried with the dead emperor when the country was founded. I'm afraid countless people are scrambling to send their daughters into the palace. Anyway, they can still leave the palace after the emperor's death, so why not do it?

However, Ling Mojin's attitude towards this decision was surprisingly tough. Most of the officials who disagreed were dragged out and demoted as long as there was even a slight mistake in their duties behind the scenes. Even beheaded.

With the help of an incident in the harem, the filth in the court hall was almost completely cleaned up, and the Nanheng court hall has shown unprecedented clarity since Ling Mojin's rectification this time.

It should be stopped, and it has been stopped. It's not about the courtiers, why not sell Ling Mojin to save face?In addition, some of the concubines are also the daughters of courtiers, and since Mo Haoxuan is dead, his own daughter can only be a widow in the palace, if she can return to her parents, it will be considered a good thing.

Therefore, the fact that the harem concubine left the palace also caused no one to resist in the end, and Ling Mojin also established her own prestige in the court.

Although some people objected to this matter in the court and some people agreed with it, most of the people praised it. In the previous dynasty, when the emperor died, the concubine had to be buried with him. Now Nanheng Jianguo abolished this system, and Ling Mojin listened to the government behind the curtain Later, she even released the concubines from the palace, causing her benevolent government to spread throughout Nanheng.

"How many concubines are left?" Ling Mojin turned around and asked.

"Not many, the servants have already checked, all of them are from the family whose parents have passed away, and the concubine has no heirs." Yingyue put both hands of the book in her hand to Ling Mojin.

"Well, those whose parents have passed away can stay in the palace, and you can deal with all kinds of matters, and tell me the result after it is completely over." Ling Mojin opened the book and took a look. It was recorded by Yingyue. The list of concubines in the palace and their relatives.

"Yingyue, how many years have you been with me?" Ling Mojin asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, this servant entered the Ling Mansion when you were five years old, and the master arranged to serve you by your side not long after. It has been 20 years now." Yingyue still remembers the time very clearly. Mo Jin almost grew up together.

She watched Ling Mojin grow from a little girl carved with jade into a well-educated young girl, and then to a queen who is the mother of the world, and now she is the queen mother who has pushed Nanheng politics to an unprecedented height.

Time really flies, 20 years in a blink of an eye.

"You are a few years older than Qingge, and not much different from me. It has delayed you all these years. Have you ever thought about going out of the palace?" Ling Mojin said with a smile, and this idea only came to her recently Yes, I can't let Yingyue accompany me to spend the rest of my life in this palace.

She, Ling Mojin, still has Yu Qingge, but Yingyue has no one to accompany her.

"Your Majesty, Yingyue's parents passed away the year she entered the Ling Mansion. Fortunately, the master took care of her. It is Yingyue's wish to be by her side all these years. Your Majesty, please don't drive the servants away." Yingyue said anxiously.

It has become a habit for her to stay by Ling Mojin's side. Watching her grow up, watching her change from being cold and indifferent to now falling in love, from an untouched fairy to now becoming an ordinary woman with all kinds of emotions and six desires.

There is a kind of bondage like this, not love, similar to family affection, I just want to watch her grow up all the way, and accompany her all the way, until I can no longer be with her.

This is the meaning of Ling Mojin to Yingyue.

"Okay, then I won't talk about it anymore. If you have anything you want or want to do, remember to tell me." Ling Mojin didn't continue to talk about this matter, and she could predict Yingyue's answer.

There is nothing she has not done her best in these years. If she didn't have the heart to accompany her, how could she not show any clues for so long?

"Retire." Ling Mojin handed the book back to Yingyue, and also gave Yingyue the full power to arrange the concubines in each palace.
