Emperor industry. Anlan in the world

Hearing this, Lu Shaoxing felt a little uncomfortable on his dark face.When the first emperor Chu Aoqin was killed, many ministers of the Zhitong sect died, and Lu Shaoxing was an important figure of the Zhitong sect, who was deeply favored by the emperor and had a deep friendship with Xue Qi's teacher and student. Xue Qi died, but he became a courtier of the new emperor. Every day he wore fresh clothes, angered horses, and sang songs while drunk. He seemed to have forgotten the revenge of the former emperor. Now that he heard Xue Lingyun's loyal minister, how could he act as if nothing happened?

Mo Yichen glanced at him, knew that he was embarrassed, and said: "Now there is only Lingxi left in the foster father's line. I thought he could escape the world, but unfortunately... always doomed."

Lu Shaoxing was stunned and asked hastily, "What happened to His Royal Highness?"

Xue Lingyun cast his eyes on the brocade bag in Lu Shaoxing's hand, and asked, "Master Lu, do you still remember this jade pendant?"

Lu Shaoxing carefully handed the kit back to Xue Lingyun, and said in a respectful tone, "This is the jade pendant given to His Highness the Fourth Highness by the late emperor. At that time, all the officials saw it, and I dare not forget it." After a pause, he asked suspiciously: "This jade pendant How could it be in your hands?"

Xue Lingyun put the jade pendant into his sleeve pocket, frowned lightly, with a dignified expression: "This was secretly sent by Lingxi to the hands of this junior, and he is now imprisoned by Chu Aohan, who is afraid of the turmoil in the government and the public, so he has been Blocking the news, the younger generation still can't find out where Lingxi is imprisoned."

Lu Shaoxing's whole body was shaken, he was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Chu Aohan left Beijing secretly not long ago, at that time the old man wondered what could make him attach so much importance, so it is so..."

Mo Yichen lifted the hem of his clothes lightly, and was about to kneel down on one knee, but saw Lu Shaoxing's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly reached out to help him, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, what are you doing? Why bother to upset the old man?"

Mo Yichen let Lu Shaoxing support him, he looked up at Lu Shaoxing, his jade face frowned sadly: "Yichen begged Master Lu to help save Lingxi, and leave behind for the stepfather."

Hearing this, Lu Shaoxing said excitedly: "Your Highness doesn't need to be so courteous, the late emperor and benefactor have treated me with great kindness, how can I just sit and watch Fourth Highness suffer?" After a pause, he avoided Mo Yichen's gaze and spoke in a low voice He settled down: "It's just that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. I will contact you when the old man comes up with a perfect plan."

Xue Lingyun was standing half a step behind Mo Yichen. From Lu Shaoxing's perspective, he could only see half of Xue Lingyun's face, so he couldn't see the contempt flashing in his eyes.

Mo Yichen's expression did not change, and he said: "Thank you, Master Lu, if Lingxi can get out of trouble, I will never forget the kindness of Master Lu today." After speaking, he took out a small note from his sleeve pocket , handed it to Lu Shaoxing respectfully: "If Master Lu wants to find us, you can come here."

Lu Shaoxing took the note carefully, read it carefully, and then hid it: "Okay, I will find you when the old man comes up with a perfect solution."

Mo Yichen smiled when he heard the words, and that smile slowly spread from his lips, gentle and elegant, making people feel like a spring breeze.He and Xue Lingyun glanced at each other, and then each put the human skin mask back on their faces, looked at it carefully, and made sure that there would be no flaws, and then bid farewell to Lu Shaoxing: "Then don't bother Mr. Lu, farewell!"

Lu Shaoxing sent them out of the door, and said with concern: "Your Highness and nephew, take care, and be careful of Chu Aohan."

Mo Yichen nodded: "Master Lu, take care too, be careful in everything." After finishing speaking, he and Xue Lingyun left side by side. The two slender figures of Yuli looked very harmonious under the moonlight, making Lu Shaoxing feel like he was back in those days However, everything has long changed, and even he himself is no longer the loyal and patriotic him.The only thing that hasn't changed is probably the pair of backs in front of me...

After leaving the Lu Mansion, Xue Lingyun and Mo Yichen walked slowly along the street.Since the farewell that year, they have not walked slowly side by side, so both of them subconsciously slowed down to enjoy this moment of tranquility.

Beside the road is the famous Taihe River in the Kingdom of Rising Sun, on which boats are painted in waves, and fairy music is melodious.The moonlight shines in, reflecting the river surface like snow, which makes people's eyes bright.

Mo Yichen turned his eyes to Xue Lingyun who had been silent all this time, and asked with concern: "Do you have something on your mind?"

Xue Lingyun came to his senses upon hearing the sound, and replied softly, "I was just thinking about something."

Mo Yichen grew up with Xue Lingyun since he was a child, and knows him very well, so how can he not see that he has something on his mind?Especially after meeting Lu Shaoxing, Xue Lingyun seemed particularly silent.

As the name suggests, Xue Lingyun has an aloof and arrogant temperament, and has a clear distinction between likes and hates. He never wastes his eyes on people he doesn't like, so when he was an official, he was always unpopular. Only those who really appreciate his talents are willing to make friends with him.

But Lu Shaoxing was his father's old friend, so Xue Lingyun shouldn't treat Lu Shaoxing so indifferently, and for a moment just now, Mo Yichen felt the murderous look in Xue Lingyun's eyes, although Xue Lingyun concealed it very well, but Mo Yichen has been with him day and night for many years, so naturally he will not ignore his emotions at that moment.He couldn't understand Xue Lingyun's abnormality, but since Xue Lingyun didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more.

The willows on the bank were facing the wind, brushing against Mo Yichen's face, even though it was not the face Xue Lingyun was used to seeing, it still made his heart tremble.He quickly calmed down and asked, "Do you think Lu Shaoxing will really help us?"

Mo Yichen shook his head and sighed: "He is no longer the Lu Shaoxing he was back then."

Xue Lingyun snorted coldly, with contempt in his eyes: "He has changed before. That's why I don't want to waste my time with him."

Mo Yichen knew there was something in his words, but he didn't know what he was referring to, so he could only smile helplessly, and said: "It's not that he treats Lingxi without sincerity. If something happens, it will be the disaster of the Fuzong Red Clan, don't blame him."

Xue Lingyun fell silent when he heard the words, and the two stepped on the embankment step by step, as if they were stepping on their hearts.After a while, Xue Lingyun raised his head and asked, "If he continues to be perfunctory, what are you going to do?"

"Let's find a way to contact His Majesty first. Now that there is no news from His Majesty, I'm a little worried." Mo Yichen frowned slightly, and his starry night eyes were full of worry.

A few green leaves floated from nowhere and landed gently on Mo Yichen's shoulders. Xue Lingyun stopped and brushed the fallen leaves off his shoulders with gentle movements as before.

No matter how many ups and downs he has experienced and how many partings he has had, the only person in front of him will always haunt him.They once almost broke up because of Ye Chenxi, and now they know that Ye Chenxi is still alive, but the gap between them has not disappeared because of this.Although Mo Yichen's treatment of him seemed unchanged, he felt the inadvertent alienation, and he couldn't laugh at the past.

Even though I love you, I don't know how to go on.Maybe one day, when the black hair on their heads has turned into silver, they will make a pot of tea and drink each other under the moonlight, laughing and recalling the past, maybe only then, he will be willing to admit that the love was as deep as the sea back then ?

The author has something to say: I hope you guys pass by and leave a comment~~~

19、The old man

Ye Qingxiao hadn't seen Chu Aohan again since the day when he became stiff, but the cautious Chu Aohan still let Hou An watch Ye Qingxiao eat, and took away the food box after eating, not letting him at all There are opportunities to contact the outside world.

On this day, Hou An walked into the secret room with the food box as usual, then quickly closed the door of the secret room, put the food box on the table, and arranged the meals inside, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you can use meal."

Ye Qingxiao was reading a book, without even raising her head, she just ordered: "I'm not hungry, I'll eat later, let's set the food first!"

Hou An frowned slightly when he heard the words, he hesitated to speak, but in the end he just waited aside without making a sound.The atmosphere in the secret room became stagnant, with an embarrassing silence.The aroma of wine and vegetables wafted around, and one could tell that the dishes were all top-grade just by smelling them, but it didn't shake the person sitting in front of the desk reading a book.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qingxiao covered her mouth and coughed a few times, but her gaze remained on the book, as if she didn't care much about her physical condition.

Hou An heard the reputation and looked at Ye Qingxiao, only to see that he was wearing a moon white robe, with a simple jade hairpin inserted on his head, making him look very thin.

Hou An immediately picked up the fox fur hanging on the wall, put it on Ye Qingxiao, and poured him another cup of hot tea: "Your Majesty, please use tea."

A burst of tea fragrance slowly wafts away, refreshing people before entering the mouth.Ye Qingxiao put down the book in her hand, took the porcelain cup, bowed her head and drank a few sips, her body felt much warmer, and she stopped coughing.Then he slowly looked up at Hou An, with a smile in his eyes: "You still remember my habit."

"Your Majesty will cough whenever you catch a cold. This servant will never forget watching Your Majesty grow up." At this point, Hou An's eyes were a little red, and he knelt down without hesitation: "My servant Zhang Quan sees Your Majesty."

Ye Qingxiao put down the porcelain cup, Yishang held Zhang Quan's hand tightly with warm hands, and asked, "Do you know why I didn't take the initiative to recognize you?"

Hou An's hands were already covered with wrinkles and thick calluses with the passage of time, the touch made people feel very uncomfortable, but Ye Qingxiao didn't mind it, instead she held it tighter and tighter.

Feeling the temperature from Ye Qingxiao's hands, Hou An nodded excitedly, choked up and said: "Your Majesty is avoiding disaster for your slave."

Although the original intention was not like this, Ye Qingxiao naturally would not deny it.He sighed and said, "Since you understand, why do you recognize me?"

"The slave has watched His Majesty grow up, and has long regarded His Majesty as a close relative. If he had no choice back then, how would he want to leave His Majesty? Now seeing that His Majesty is controlled by others, this slave is suffering. If I can help His Majesty escape from death, this slave will do so even if he is in a daze. No hesitation." Hou An's words were clear, his eyes filled with determination.

Ye Qingxiao's heart felt warm, and the warmth reached her eyes.After staying in the palace for a long time, he got used to talking only three minutes when meeting people, and dared not trust others easily. Even though Hou An watched him grow up, after all, he had been away for more than ten years, and time easily changed people, so when he revisited When meeting An Zhi, although he was pleasantly surprised, he did not intend to take the initiative to recognize each other.If Hou An treated him as before, he would naturally find an opportunity to recognize him.

He deliberately didn't wear fox fur today, letting himself catch a cold and coughing, so as to test Hou An's reaction.The result did not disappoint him, Hou An really couldn't help but recognize him.

He has been suffering no chance due to Chu Aohan's frequent appearance, and endured until now, now that he finally found a gap, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he asked, "Why are you staying by Chu Aohan's side? How is your nephew?"

Hou An's expression darkened when he heard the words, and his voice lowered: "After the servant left His Majesty, he was afraid of the revenge of the Concubine Long and did not dare to stay in Dongyue for a long time, so he concealed his identity and brought his nephew to live in a small town on the border of the Rising Sun Country. Unexpectedly, a plague broke out not long after, and many people died of illness, and Fu Bo, the slave's nephew, died of illness soon."

Speaking of this, Hou An wiped away the tears from his eyes with his sleeves. Ye Qingxiao did not urge him, but just waited quietly. After a while, Hou An finally wiped away the tears and continued: "At that time, Chu Aohan Your Majesty is still King Jing, he was ordered to go to the frontier for a military parade, but was plotted against on the way, and was accidentally rescued by the slave. The slave has been with him since then."

Ye Qingxiao thought for a moment before asking: "You have been with him for so long, there must be a master-servant friendship. If I want you to go back to Dongyue with me, would you be willing?"

Hou An's expression moved, and he replied in a trembling voice: "Although His Majesty Chu Aohan treats the slave well, the slave is always from Dongyue. The fox died in the first hill, and the slave prayed day and night to return to Dongyue to serve His Majesty one day. I hope His Majesty will be fulfilled."

Ye Qingxiao patted Hou An's shoulder lightly, and said, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hou An got up slowly, and stood aside, with an unconcealable excitement on his wrinkled face: "Your Majesty has something to do, just give orders, and this servant will definitely try his best to complete it for His Majesty."

Ye Qingxiao showed a shallow smile, but it was not the familiar smile that An was familiar with back then, but a little more majestic and vicissitudes. Thinking of Ye Qingxiao's experience back then, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

"After all, you and Chu Aohan are master and servant. I don't want to make things difficult for you. As long as you don't do anything, you are helping me."

Hou An suddenly realized that although Ye Qingxiao was trapped in the secret room, it was not impossible to contact the outside world, it was only because he was watching closely that he didn't do anything.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hou An paused, and then persuaded: "The dishes are getting cold, Your Majesty, let's eat first!"

Ye Qingxiao nodded when she heard the words: "Okay, I'm hungry too."

After finishing speaking, Ye Qingxiao came to the table and sat down, Hou An immediately served him a bowl of rice, then stepped aside and waited.

Ye Qingxiao knew that if people from the Zhaixing Pavilion wanted to contact him, they could only start with the food. He had secretly paid attention to every detail for many days, and he already knew where the difference was, but it was only because of the presence of others He didn't do anything, now that he has recognized Hou An, he no longer has any scruples.

He scanned the meals on the table slowly with his eyes, and finally stopped on a jade wine jug. The jade color of the jug was excellent, and at first glance it looked like clear springs had painted the walls. The handle of the jug was engraved with exquisite dragon patterns, which looked lifelike .

A smile appeared on Ye Qingxiao's lips, she stretched out her hand to hold the handle of the pot, fumbled back and forth twice with her fingertips, then pressed the faucet, a soft sound passed by her ears, the sound was very small, if you don't listen carefully, Extremely difficult to spot.

Ye Qingxiao picked up the jug, looked at the bottom of the jug, and found a note.He took out the note, carefully read the words on it, and then put the note on the light box and lit it, only to see a few flames jumping between his fingers, and the red fire light illuminated his eyes as deep as the sea. The eyes slowly went out again.

Ye Qingxiao watched the last ray of fireworks dissipate, and said with a low smile: "How could Lu Shaoxing give up his glory and wealth for the sake of loyalty, and put himself in danger? If he was such a person, he wouldn't have..."

Although he really wanted to know what Mo Yichen and Xue Lingyun were up to, but after thinking for a while, he decided to push behind him, so he ordered Hou An: "Bring the pen and ink."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hou An immediately fetched a pen and ink, and stood aside to grind the ink for Ye Qingxiao. Ye Qingxiao took out a piece of rice paper, tore out a small note, picked up the wolf hair, dipped it in ink, and put it on the paper. A few lines of vigorous italic characters were written on the note. After drying the ink, he folded the note and put it into the mechanism of the jug, and then pressed the faucet on the handle of the jug. Close the mechanism, intact as before, as if nothing happened.

Hou An immediately cleared the table and let Ye Qingxiao eat.Ye Qingxiao settled down one thing on his mind, and his appetite was naturally better than before. He took a piece of sea cucumber and put it in his mouth to chew slowly.Seeing that the bowl of soup on the table was cold, Hou An hurriedly changed a bowl for him, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty's taste has never changed, and he still likes sea cucumbers so much. When you were young, you and the Second Highness both liked sea cucumbers..."

Halfway through speaking, Hou An seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped talking, and carefully glanced at Ye Qingxiao.

Ye Qingxiao was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, her dark eyes looked at the sea cucumber on the plate with complicated light.

When she was a child, Ye Chenxi obviously liked eating sea cucumbers, but insisted that she didn't like them, and kept them for him every time, but how could Ye Chenxi hide the longing in Ye Chenxi's eyes from Ye Qingxiao?So Ye Qingxiao always said that she was tired after eating a few slices, and forced Ye Chenxi to eat it. Although Ye Chenxi complained, she ate with relish.

Once, Ye Qingxiao said casually: "No matter how delicious something is, it will be worthless if no one shares it."

From then on, no matter what to eat, Ye Chenxi never gave in, and always ate her share unceremoniously.Whenever seeing Ye Chenxi eating with gusto, Ye Qingxiao's heart would be filled with warmth.

As he grew older, he finally understood that there are some things that cannot be renounced or shared, such as the throne, this resplendent dragon chair is too narrow and can only accommodate one person.

Because of this dragon chair, they gradually alienated and plotted against each other. Even if they had dinner at the same table occasionally, they seemed to be inseparable.

Now, after going through all kinds of things, he and Ye Chenxi are bound by a relationship that is both familiar and unfamiliar, and their desires are still chaotic, and they are disconnected.

Obviously he was no longer the Ye Chenxi he used to be, but when he was in danger, he was still willing to entrust his life to that person.Knowing that as long as Ye Chenxi has a second heart, he will fall into a land of eternal doom, and Dongyue will suffer from wars for years, but he is always willing to believe that Ye Chenxi will not hurt him sincerely.

This blind obsession surprised even himself.He has long been used to self-control, and used to turn a blind eye to Ye Chenxi's silently watching eyes.He always kept in mind that he was the prince of Dongyue Kingdom first, and then Ye Qingxiao, so even if he had feelings for Ye Chenxi in his heart, he still suppressed his love, not daring to give up his love.

Until Ye Chenxi was buried in the collapsed cave, the one who had never been willing to cry in front of others no matter how many storms he experienced, finally burst into tears.

Only at that moment did he fully understand that even if he stood at the top of the world, he was always a speck of dust in the world of mortals.

When he came back to his senses, he turned his eyes to the sea cucumber on the exquisite porcelain plate, and put a piece into his mouth, but he could no longer taste it.It turns out that delicious food really has to be shared with someone to taste it.Thinking of this, there was a slight arc on his lips.

On the day we meet again, he must fry a plate of sea cucumber, take a bottle of iron music, and drink with Ye Chenxi under the moon.

Chen Xi... I hope you will not disappoint my expectations...

The author has something to say: I wonder if anyone still remembers this Zhang Quan?He once appeared in Ye Qingxiao's memory, the one who was forced by Concubine Long to poison Ye Qingxiao, and later confessed to Ye Qingxiao because he couldn't bear it, and finally took his nephew away from home.Those who don't remember can review Chapter 8.Finally, I hope that you will pass by and leave a comment~~Thank you~~~

20. Alliance

On the third day after Mo Yichen and Xue Lingyun met Lu Shaoxing secretly, a small incident happened in Rising Sun Kingdom.Although this matter was small, it set off thousands of waves in the court.

The cause of the incident was that a Gongsheng named Xu Ting wrote a memorial to impeach the late emperor's old party. Although Chu Aohan had purged all the ministers in the court after he ascended the throne, the matter involved a lot after all, and Dongyue The powerful neighbor of the country is eyeing it covetously. If there are too many changes in officials, it will cause chaos in the government and bring opportunities for the Dongyue country to take advantage of.

Therefore, Chu Aohan only killed a group of key ministers who would rather die than surrender, and the rest remained in office, and burned all the memorials to impeach him in public, saying that the past was not to blame.

You are not joking, in the past few years, Han Aohan has indeed not pursued anyone because of this matter, and the heart of the former emperor's old party has gradually settled down because of this.However, at this moment, a Gongsheng who was not even qualified to write a memorial to the emperor suddenly impeached the former emperor's old party, and his words were harsh and sharp, which made people feel ashamed.

When this memorial was sent to the Secretary of General Administration, Wang Shouzheng, the envoy of the General Administration, had a very headache. After all, Chu Aohan had already threatened not to pursue it.So he casually found an excuse to return the memorial.Unexpectedly, Xu Ting couldn't understand Wang Shouzheng's painstaking efforts at all, and after revising the memorial, he sent it to the Secretary of General Administration, but Wang Shouzheng still returned it under the pretext that the memorial was wrong.

Xu Ting was angry, he simply issued a memorial to impeach Wang Shouzheng, the late emperor's old party, and obstructed him in every way possible to submit the memorial.Wang Shouzheng hurriedly went to the office to argue, and after going back and forth, it eventually turned into the two attacking each other and making things worse.

Chu Aohan immediately ordered someone to present Xu Ting's memorial. After reading it, he just reprimanded Xu Ting for a few words, and then comforted Wang Shouzheng.However, his attitude seemed to give a hint to the officials. Some people jumped out to impeach the late emperor's old party one after another, and those ministers who had impeached Chu Aohan when the late emperor was in power became the target of public criticism, and they were in constant panic.

Facing the snowflake-like memorials of the officials, Chu Aohan's attitude was still calm. For a while, everyone in the former emperor's old party was in danger. In the end, even those neutral factions became the targets of the officials' liquidation, while Lu Shaoxing It's just the boring loss of neutrality.

Therefore, Lu Shaoxing, who originally only planned to deal with Mo Yichen and Xue Lingyun, finally made up his mind.

It wasn't snowing that night, but it was very cold.Mo Yichen was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion reading a book, his white dark clothes looked as bright as snow under the light of the bronze lamp, even his handsome face had a soft feeling.

Although it was windy and cold outside, the inside of the warm pavilion was as warm as spring in March.Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Mo Yichen looked up at the door, and said softly, "Please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Lingyun pushed the door open and came in. He had just finished grooming, his wet hair was scattered behind him like a waterfall, and the faint fragrance of his hair wafted through the room, making people feel refreshed.

The familiar fragrance made Mo Yichen hesitate for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses, put down the book in his hand, and smiled.

In the past, Mo Yichen would have taken the initiative to wipe his hair with a sweat towel, but now he just sat quietly, which made Xue Lingyun a little disappointed.He sat next to Mo Yichen, began to wipe his hair with a sweat towel, and was careful not to let the water splash on Mo Yichen.

Mo Yichen picked up the white porcelain jug on the table, poured him a cup of hot tea, and asked, "What's the news today?"

"Everything is moving in a direction that is beneficial to us, but who made the move before us? If it was just a coincidence, it would be too coincidental..." Xue Lingyun slowed down as he wiped his hair, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, That expression looked cold and profound.

Mo Yichen chuckled lightly: "That's His Majesty's instruction, there is news from His Majesty in Zhaixing Pavilion."

Xue Lingyun was slightly startled, then put down the sweat towel and asked, "How is your Majesty doing?"

Mo Yichen handed the twisted tire bowl on the table to Xue Lingyun, the fingertips of the two touched inadvertently, Mo Yichen withdrew his hand without a trace, and replied: "Your Majesty, everything is well, and His Highness Kang Wang will also carry out It went very well. His Royal Highness Heng Wang and His Royal Highness Kang Wang acted too realistically, if they hadn't known the inside story a long time ago, I'm afraid even I would have been deceived by them."

Xue Lingyun stared blankly at Mo Yichen's withdrawn finger. He had held that slender and white finger countless times, but now he avoided his touch. tingling.

He was absent-minded for only a moment, and he quickly settled his thoughts, saying: "Now the people in the Eastern Vietnam government and the people are in panic. Although we can deceive Chu Aohan, but if we delay for a long time, we may hurt ourselves. We must rescue Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Mo Yichen glanced at Xue Lingyun, hesitant to speak.

Xue Lingyun knew something was wrong, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mo Yichen was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "His Royal Highness King Kang came out after breaking through Tao Yu. At that time, Lord Shen Man, the governor of the left army, was parading in peace, and he also followed after hearing the news..."

When Mo Yichen said this, his voice suddenly stopped, and the things he said were originally in their plan. Shen Man was a key member of Kang Wang's party. Now that Kang Wang was defeated and fled, Shen Man's stay in Dongyue naturally did not end well , so it is not suspicious that he followed Ye Chenxi to treason.

But if it was just like this, Mo Yichen would definitely not find it difficult to talk about it, so the problem must be behind.Xue Lingyun said softly: "You just say it's okay, don't worry about it."

Mo Yichen's five fingers hidden in his clothes suddenly tightened, and he said: "After Mr. Guo Kefu heard the news, he chased out of Guan Yu to persuade His Highness and Mr. Shen Man, but was beheaded by Mr. Shen Man and cut off his head. Give it to Chu Aohan."

With a crisp sound of "哐", the twisted tire bowl in Xue Lingyun's hand fell to the ground, and the tea splashed immediately, and the fretwork fragments glowed coldly on the ground.The taste of the tea I drank just now still lingers in my throat, and there is a bitter feeling.

Guo Kefu used to be Xue Lingyun's subordinate. Although he was a rough man, he was very brave.When King Yu rebelled, he sent troops with Xue Lingyun and killed countless enemies.Later, Xue Lingyun resigned to hide from the world, and Guo Kefu was promoted to the chief soldier because of his military exploits. He guarded the border and repelled the attacks of the Rising Sun Kingdom several times. The generals of the Rising Sun Kingdom were very afraid of him.

Unexpectedly, in order to gain Chu Aohan's trust, he sacrificed this mighty general.Thinking of this, Xue Lingyun felt extremely sad.

Mo Yichen sighed softly: "Guo Kefu is too reckless, His Highness has already broken through, but he chased him out alone to persuade him to surrender, if he is not killed, how will His Highness win the trust of Chu Aohan?"

Xue Lingyun naturally understood this truth, but he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.When the two were relatively silent, someone reported to Lu Shaoxing to see him.Mo Yichen and Xue Lingyun looked at each other, finally regained their thoughts, and ordered Lu Shaoxing to come in.

Mo Yichen made tea again, and when the water was boiling, Lu Shaoxing happened to enter the door. After greeting each other, Lu Shaoxing sat down and chatted with them.

Mo Yichen put the tea leaves into the tureen, and poured water into it. After the fragrance of the tea overflowed, Mo Yichen brought the teacup to the table next to Lu Shaoxing, and asked, "Has your lord made a decision?"

Lu Shaoxing picked up the teacup, put it in front of his nose to smell the tea, and said: "Chu Aohan not only murdered his brother to seize the throne, slaughtered the ministers of the court, but now he even refuses to let go of the last bit of the late emperor's blood, it is really intolerable. This old man is willing to join hands with the two of you to save His Highness the Fourth Highness, and let the succession of the throne of our dynasty be orthodox."

After Mo Yichen and Xue Lingyun came to visit, he sent people to investigate. Although there was no definite evidence, from various clues, it can be seen that Chu Aohan had indeed imprisoned a very important person, and this person was suspected to be Chu Lingxi.Later, he tested his personal servant An on the grounds that he was concerned about Chu Aohan, but Hou An accidentally leaked something. Although he immediately covered it up, Lu Shaoxing was convinced that Chu Lingxi was in Chu Aohan's hands.

Xue Lingyun sneered in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.Mo Yichen bowed excitedly to Lu Shaoxing, and said, "Lord Lu is so generous to the sky, he is really admired by the younger generation."

Lu Shaoxing immediately helped Mo Yichen up, with a worried expression on his face: "Although the old man is willing to help, but with our strength, I am afraid there is no chance of winning." After speaking, he paused, and turned his eyes to the silent Xue Lingyun: " The old man heard that Chu Aohan had beheaded Ye Qingxiao in the border area, His Royal Highness King Kang took the opportunity to return to the country to seize the throne, and is retreating to our country after the defeat, if he can persuade His Royal Highness Kang to help, then great things will be accomplished."

Mo Yichen turned his eyes to Xue Lingyun when he heard the words, and said, "Lingyun, you have a deep relationship with His Highness Kang Wang, why don't you convince His Highness Kang Wang!"

Lu Shaoxing immediately hit the snake with the stick: "If the Fourth Highness succeeds in ascending the throne, he will never forget His Highness Kang Wang's great kindness, and the old man will also urge the Fourth Highness to send troops to help him return to Dongyue to seize the throne. At that time, it will be a win-win situation." .and……"

He deliberately paused, glanced at Mo Yichen, and said: "At that time, His Highness Mo will be able to return to the court with righteous words, and he will no longer have to live in the territory of the exterminating enemy and be sad day and night."

Lu Shaoxing knew that Xue Lingyun and Mo Yichen only wanted to save Chu Lingxi, but they had no intention of helping Chu Lingxi ascend the throne, but he was different, once he made a decision, he would die.As the court's liquidation intensified, Chu Aohan would not be able to tolerate him one day.At this point, he has no way out, so he wants to persuade Mo Yichen and Xue Lingyun to help Chu Lingxi ascend the throne.

He had always known that Mo Yichen was Xue Lingyun's Achilles' heel, so he deliberately raised this matter and asked Xue Lingyun to help him with all his might.

Sure enough, when Mo Yichen listened, his expression changed, and he turned to look at Xue Lingyun, his eyes were full of mist, and his jade-like handsome face was full of anticipation.Xue Lingyun immediately softened his heart, took Mo Yichen's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will be able to persuade His Highness King Kang."

After hearing this, Lu Shaoxing finally felt relieved, and said: "The current situation in the court is turbulent, and the former emperor and old officials are all in danger. As long as I contact them, there will be a lot of people who respond."

Mo Yichen saluted Lu Shaoxing respectfully, with sincere eyes: "Then there will be Lord Lao Lu, Ling Yun and I are here to wait for the good news."

Lu Shaoxing said a few words and then left. Mo Yichen leaned against the door and watched Lu Shaoxing's back quietly until it disappeared in the arch. Then he turned his eyes to the bright moon in the sky. The full moon is like a mirror, soft and clear. Sprinkle the entire courtyard, as if covering a layer of tulle for this cold winter night.

Unexpectedly, today is the night of the full moon. He can't remember how long he hasn't enjoyed the full moon. Maybe it's because the moon was full and people were not full in the past. He was afraid that the more he admired, the more sad he would be, so he simply ignored it.Now the moon is round, the moon is the same as before, but the people have changed.

It wasn't until the scene just now that he suddenly realized that he and Xue Lingyun used to be so affectionate, but the mutual calculations and suspicions made him repeatedly forget how firmly they trusted each other.Perhaps, they can only maintain this trust as friends in the future...

He slowly lowered his eyelids, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.

Xue Lingyun walked to his side and said in a low voice: "It's cold here, let's go in!"

Mo Yichen turned around and sat back on the chair, Xue Lingyun closed the door smoothly, sat next to Mo Yichen, added hot tea to his cup, and white smoke rose up, obscuring Mo Yichen's handsome face.

"Although the former emperor's old party has already made a decision, we must push it again, so that the two factions can create an irreversible situation." Xue Lingyun's voice was cold.

Mo Yichen took a sip of tea, and there were still traces of water on his lips, which made him look a little less dusty and a little more charming.

He looked up at Xue Lingyun, his eyes were like ice and snow: "I have placed some people in Rising Sun Kingdom over the years, and I believe you are the same."

In the past, because they were their own masters, even though they had a deep friendship, they still kept secrets.By now, there was nothing to hide.

Xue Lingyun nodded when he heard the words: "I have placed eyeliners in both factions. As long as I make a little arrangement, the conflict between the two factions will become more and more intense."

Mo Yichen looked at Xue Lingyun drinking tea, and felt a little guilt in his heart. He should have lived in seclusion and lived among the green cliffs and white deer, but now he was involved in the dispute between the two countries, dealing with his former allies , although Xue Lingyun didn't say anything, how could Mo Yichen ignore the occasional flash of loneliness in his eyes?

Xue Lingyun seemed to have seen through his thoughts, a soft smile appeared on his lips, and said: "You don't have to feel guilty, from the moment I took refuge in His Highness King Kang, there was no way for me to turn back. Moreover, Lu Shaoxing and I have differences. Let's take revenge together."

Mo Yichen was startled when he heard the words, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Xue Lingyun's eyes suddenly became as cold as ice, and even his voice was a bit chilly: "Lu Shaoxing has always been a dark chess player of the former emperor's party. Only a few people know about it. After Chu Aohan's rebellion, the key ministers of the former emperor's party Either die or be killed by Chu Aohan. On the surface, Lu Shaoxing has always been a neutral faction. In order to get Chu Aohan's reuse, he secretly spoke to Chu Aohan and hung my father's body at the city gate for public display, leading me to appear. He thought he was doing it right, but in the end he let me find out."

Mo Yichen finally understood why whenever Xue Lingyun mentioned Lu Shaoxing, his eyes always looked contemptuous, and even revealed an unconcealable hatred.Thinking of the situation at that time, my heart suddenly ached.

This person, Lu Shaoxing, either does not do it, or does it absolutely. If the person imprisoned by Chu Aohan is really Chu Lingxi, when Chu Lingxi ascends the throne in the future, Lu Shaoxing must be regarded as an extremely human minister. At that time, in order to prevent future troubles, Lu Shaoxing will definitely Find a chance to kill Xue Lingyun.

Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was wrong...

Xue Lingyun turned his eyes back to Mo Yichen, his eyes gradually softened, and his tone became much gentler: "I tell you that I don't want you to feel guilty anymore. I want you to know that every step I take is done willingly. not regret."

Mo Yichen's gaze also softened, and he whispered, "I understand."

The eyes of the two met in the air through the curling white smoke, and the guilt faded from the eyes, replaced by relief.

As the conflict between the two factions became increasingly fierce, every small matter would become a big blow. For example, when Chu Aohan sent the son of a certain official to visit a brothel, he happened to meet the son of a certain official from the former emperor's old party. One of the servants accidentally struck too hard and killed the official son of the other faction; another example is that the sedan chairs of the officials of the two factions met on the street, and the two refused to give in to each other, and the hatred deepened day by day.These and other things, although they are all trivial matters, add up to the point where the relationship between the two factions is incompatible.
