Princess of the Past and Present

Chapter 44 1 Wishful thinking

Walking to the door, Chen Boling led in with a smile on his face, Li Chen, the priest of Lingyun Temple.

When Mo Shuang saw Li Chen, she was surprised and said, "Senior Brother, why did you come?"

Li Chen clasped his hands and said: "I came to the capital for business recently, and I happened to hear about your father, so I stopped by to see you." Looking at Mo Shuang's face, he asked casually, "Are you okay?"

Mo Shuang said: "I'm fine." Then he said: "This is really not a place to talk, find a place to sit down and talk slowly."

Chen Bo said at this time: "Princess Concubine, this old slave has asked his servants to prepare hot tea, please invite the Taoist priest to sit inside."

Yuan Yuzhi appeared at the door again, originally to watch Mo Shuang leave the Prince's Mansion in person, but heard Uncle Chen's words to invite them in. "Uncle Chen, you are so confused. It is clear that the people in the palace came to pass the imperial decree abolishing the princess and expelling her from the capital. You still want to invite people to this mansion. Could it be that you want to disobey me?" imperial decree?"

Li Chen's expression changed when he heard the words, and he suddenly looked at the calm Mo Shuang, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true!" Yuan Yuzhi folded her arms and raised her eyebrows, "Could the imperial decree be false?"

Even though Li Chen has practiced Taoism for more than ten years, he still couldn't see Mo Shuang being bullied by that woman. He stared at Mo Shuang, "I'm asking you."

Mo Shuang said indifferently: "It's a long story."

Li Chen glanced at Yuan Yuzhi, who was looking forward to the show, felt inexplicably annoyed, held Mo Shuang's arm, and said angrily, "You shouldn't stay here for long, come with me!"

Li Chen took Mo Shuang to the inn where he was staying, closed the door and poured out the words in his heart just now, "Ask how you are doing, you always say it's fine, but I just saw that woman was riding on your head !During these days in the Prince's Mansion, you have come here with so much humility?"

Mo Shuang said calmly, "She is her, and I am me. Whether I live well or not has nothing to do with her."

"But..." Li Chen hesitated to speak, he didn't know whether he should be thankful that Mo Shuang was born so indifferent, or feel sad for him.They grew up together and were as close as brothers. Thinking of him being angry at the prince's residence, they felt uncomfortable.

Li Chen flicked his sleeves and took a deep breath, "That's fine, since the emperor has personally issued an order to remove your title of princess concubine, you can follow me back to Lingyun Mountain with peace of mind."

Mo Shuang pursed her lips lightly and remained silent.

Li Chen squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him, "Why, do you still want to stay here and suffer?"

"No."

Li Chen looked at him and muttered: "At most, there are still a few days before I can finish my business in the capital. Before that, you will be living here."

Mu Jin entered the palace.

In the imperial study room, the emperor was discussing government affairs with several ministers. Mu Jinda stepped in from the outside, and several ministers all looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who came in suddenly.

"I will see my father." Mu Jin cupped his hands and said.

The emperor looked at Mu Jin, "You came at a good time. I just received the news from the border that the two kingdoms sent troops to take the neighboring cities of our dynasty as their own. They are very arrogant. I want to give them some trouble Try it, you see, which general should I shoot to send troops to fight?"

All Mu Jin thought about was the abolition of the crown princess, so he didn't have the time to think about which general to send out. "The generals in the court are all brave and good at fighting, and it's hard for my ministers to decide."

The emperor was dissatisfied with Mu Jin's hasty answer, "Then why are you here today?"

"Father, my son is here today to clarify something."

"What's the matter?"

Mu Jin said solemnly: "My son was able to solve Yin Sheng's case this time, the Crown Princess Yin Moshuang contributed a lot, please learn from my father."

When Yin Moshuang was mentioned, the emperor was even more dissatisfied and dismissed several ministers in the imperial study.

"Why, are you here to intercede for him?"

"It's not pleading, my son is just speaking clearly, so as not to misunderstand the father."

"Misunderstanding?" The emperor looked at him, "Tell me, what did I misunderstand?"

"Although Mo Shuang is Yin Sheng's son, he didn't know that Yin Sheng was corrupt and perverted the law. Afterwards, he assisted his son in finding evidence of Yin Sheng's crimes. He had absolutely no intention of covering up Yin Sheng."

"so what?"

Mu Jin frowned, and said righteously: "Mo Shuang is not only innocent, but also meritorious. Father has punished him, which is very wrong."

"I punish him for offending, naturally because he is guilty."

"What's the crime?"

The emperor sternly said, "He is the son of the treacherous minister Yin Sheng, and it is his fault to pay back the father's debt!"

"But he assisted his son to find out the evidence of Yin Sheng's crime. Even if he did not reward him for his merits, he should pay off the merits. Therefore, I implore my father to take back my life!"

"That's enough. As a prince, you should know that he is the princess now and will be the queen in the future. The son of a treacherous minister occupies the position of queen. How can you convince the civil and military officials in the court?"

"Even if he can't be the empress, why did the emperor be so ruthless and drive him out of the capital?"

"It's kind of me not to put him in the dungeon!"

Mu Jin was taken aback, and after a long time, his legs bent and his knees hit the ground heavily, "I beg my father to allow Mo Shuang to stay in the capital!"

The emperor insisted on driving Yin Moshuang away, "You don't have to say anymore, the imperial decree has been issued, there is no reason to change it!"

The emperor's order must not be violated, Mu Jin knew it in his heart.At this moment, she seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and the pain was beyond words, as if she lost her way: "Father, have you ever thought about the feelings of your son?"

The emperor looked at him kneeling on the ground and frowned.

"Back then you made an imperial edict ordering my son to marry a man, did you ever think that my son doesn't like men? Now, my son can't live without him, and you drive him away from my son, have you ever thought about it? Will my son be in pain?"

"You're just confused by him."

"No, Erchen is very sober and knows what he is doing. Erchen really loves him and doesn't want to leave him for a moment."

"Can't leave for a moment?" The emperor repeated his words, and raised his voice in anger, "Could it be that you will die without him?"

"Yes!" Mu Jin said firmly.

"Bastard! Thanks to the fact that I value you so much, I didn't expect you to be such a useless thing!"

"Father and Queen Palace three thousand, has anyone really loved anyone? If not, how can I understand the feelings of my son?"

"Well, let me ask you, if you had to choose between the crown prince and him, which side would you choose?"

Mu Jin was silent for a while, and then said: "The minister is not talented, and it is difficult to take on important responsibilities..."

Before finishing speaking, the emperor interrupted angrily, pointing at him and angrily said: "If you dare to choose him, I will give him a bowl of poison!"

The last half of Mu Jin's unfinished sentence was abruptly swallowed back, and he knelt on the ground as if his whole body strength had been taken away. He looked dimly at the carpet with dragon patterns on the ground, and couldn't say another word.

There was no sound from the imperial study room for a long time, and after an unknown period of time, the emperor said: "I will pretend that what happened today has never happened, and I don't care about it with you. However, you have to remember that you are a member of the royal family. Wherever you go, you must take the country and the country as the most important thing!"

Mu Jin replied after a while, and said wearily: "I would like to follow the teachings of my father."

After leaving the palace, I happened to meet Zhe Kan who had just gone to the harem to bid farewell to his mother.He will set off for the border tomorrow, and he is not allowed to return to Beijing without the emperor's permission.

Mu Jin didn't want to talk to him at first, but Zhe Kan said to himself: "From the moment you wanted to find out Yin Sheng's criminal evidence, you should have thought that such a day would come."

Mu Jin stood still, but didn't say a word.

"But it's okay, you didn't want to marry him from the beginning, and now the emperor has abolished him, which is exactly what you want." Mu Jin didn't respond at all, and Zhe Kan also said very enthusiastically, "Actually, when Mo Shuang I don't want to either, if it wasn't for the emperor's order, he would not give up the opportunity to cultivate Taoism and become a fairy, and marry a man as a man. I advise you not to ask the father to take back the order, otherwise, Mo Shuang will not be able to complete himself in this life. The wish of cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal."

Hearing this, Mu Jin was taken aback.

Only then did I realize that I had never asked Mo Shuang whether he would like to stay by his side.At the beginning when he married into the Prince's Mansion, he couldn't help himself. Now that the title of Crown Princess is removed, is he happy or sad?

What was in that man's heart never showed on his face, and even if he was with him day and night, he couldn't figure out his emotions.

Mu Jin returned to the Prince's Mansion and went to the dormitory to check, but Mo Shuang was no longer there.Yuan Yuzhi had taken care of the servants in the mansion today, and when the prince asked about Mo Shuang, he was the one who wanted to leave.

He casually asked the servant, and the servant obediently said that the Crown Princess had left and left with a priest.

Another bolt from the blue hit Mu Jin's heart, and he left without waiting for him to come back.Walking so fast without even saying goodbye, does this mean that he has always wanted to leave?He couldn't wait to get rid of it, so today he readily accepted the order and said that the emperor's order must not be violated, in fact...

Standing in the room, Mu Jin felt his heart be hollowed out, his heart ached, and he couldn't breathe from the pain.It was the first time he tried this kind of taste, facing the endless pain in his heart, he was at a loss.

When he received the imperial decree today, he only thought about how to ask the emperor to allow him to stay in the capital. The title of concubine is not necessary, as long as that person stays by his side, he wants him to stay like crazy.

In the end, he left by himself.

Everything I did was wishful thinking.

As the sky darkened, Mu Jin was alone in the room, forgetting what he was supposed to do, and just stood there motionless.

Chen Bo came for the third time to remind that dinner was ready, and Mu Jin didn't move.Sitting in the cold dining room, sweeping away the empty seats on the left, I feel blocked.

The dishes on the table did not have those few vegetarian dishes without a little oil and water. Mu Jin picked up the bowl and was about to stretch out his chopsticks, but he lost his appetite.After forcing a few mouthfuls into his mouth, the dishes on the table didn't move much.

Call Chen Bo to ask, "When he left today, did he say where he was going?"

Uncle Chen didn't know that Yuan Yuzhi chased Moshuang in person, so he replied truthfully: "The Taoist priest of Lingyun Mountain came here today, and the old slave was receiving her at the door. .”

"He returned to Lingyun Mountain?"

"Well, the princess left in a hurry and didn't say anything."

Mu Jin supported his forehead, and now he didn't even know where to go to find him.Mo Shuang suddenly withdrew from his life just like that.Just like a kite with a broken string in his hand, it went away with the wind, and there was no trace of it.

The author has something to say: update (*^__^*) hee hee...

Mu Jin was really confused at this time, Zhe Kan's words and Mo Shuang's sudden departure made him fall into a trough.So it didn't even occur to Yuan Yuzhi to drive Moshuang out.
