Seventy-seven meeting GL

Kunning Palace

A few maids were lighting lanterns, and Mo Zi stood quietly under the porch, temporarily wearing a goose-yellow outer dress, and a cool, thin gauze skirt inside, revealing the jade texture of his skin color.She combed her temples slightly, half combed her hair in a simple bun, her long hair poured over her shoulders, and it was obvious that she got up in a hurry.

Folding his sleeves with his hands as if to greet him, Mo Ziyou had a thin body and a tall and straight posture. Although he was in a hurry, he was still elegant and elegant.No matter when, Princess Xiling is always graceful and unhurried.

"It's an honor for the emperor to come to visit at such a late hour." Her expression was calm, and her tone was as light as the night wind.

Standing in the night outside Kunning Palace, Lang Kangzhe was tall and tall, with an aura that should not be underestimated.

"Haha, don't tease me." Even though the person in front of him was inconspicuous, Lang Kangzhe could still sense her displeasure. "I know you must blame me for disturbing your sweet dreams." He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing the emperor's daily crown, and a jade belt loosely tied around his waist.

"I first apologize for disturbing Mo'er's rest." He bowed and apologized, his attitude was quite sincere, he waved his hand, and Qi Xu, who followed behind him, presented a celadon tray with lotus pattern, inside was a silver jug ​​of sake and Several stacks of exquisite dishes.

"I have a headache recently, I can't sleep well at night, and I always want to find someone to chat with."

"No, on a whim tonight, I just want to have a supper with you." Lang Kangzhe smiled flatteringly, "Look, this is a good wine that I specially sent someone to prepare. Mo'er, you have always been the most understanding Fengya, don't you give me some face, don't you?"

Mo Ziyou has been very polite since he was a child. Seeing that he had carefully prepared delicious food and wine, it was obvious that he had come prepared, and he couldn't refuse him outright.She hesitated for a moment, but her expression softened a little, "The emperor wants to talk to me, how can I refuse? It's not like that with ordinary friends, let alone the emperor."

"Come in." She took two steps back to get out of the hallway, said politely, and raised her hand in a welcoming gesture.Although the timing was different, Lang Kangzhe did not take any special measures, and Mo Ziyou had no reason to refuse.

She led Lang Kangzhe into the palace, and told Qingwu to go to the living room, and light a stick of Qingxin powder on the incense burner, so as to dispel a little drowsiness.I'm afraid Lang Kangzhe won't leave for a while, so she has to be prepared to accompany her.

Walking on the palace road, she wore thin and cool clothes.Under the dim light of the lantern, if you look closely, you can appreciate the thin and slender waist and the faintly revealing jade skin.Lang Kangzhe silently followed behind her, staring longingly at her back. Her graceful and tall neck, and her tall, slender and powerful figure all spoke of the beauty of a young woman.

Fang is the most attractive when the beauty is unknown.In the silent night, Mo Zi You Pingting's figure exuded a deadly and seductive charm. Lang Kangzhe couldn't move his eyes for a long time, and layers of flames rose in his eyes.

"Bold!" When approaching the entrance of the inner hall, suddenly, a sharp voice pierced the dull air and emerged from the darkness, startling everyone.

I saw a cage hanging by the door of the outer hall, and a parrot inside was jumping up and down, looking extremely irritable. "Bold!" the parrot yelled, "Where did the trash come from, all back down!" The strange sound was quite disturbing.

"This bastard talks with his eyes closed, he really doesn't know what's good and what's wrong! He's being rude in front of the current Holy Master!" Qi Xu squinted his eyes angrily, and said angrily from the side. "I don't know who is wrong, so I might as well throw it out tomorrow!"

Of course Qi Xu knew that it was rude to say these things in front of Princess Seven.

But now he is a person close to the emperor, except for the emperor, he can deny everyone else, let alone a foreign princess who is so downcast that she is imprisoned.

"No need." Lang Kangzhe stopped him, but stopped in front of the cage, looked at the little parrot, and smiled with interest. "I heard you like it very much." He turned his head to look at Mo Ziyou, feeling very happy. "It's clever, I didn't expect you to keep the thing I gave you all the time."

"The parrot sent by the emperor is cute, so I naturally like it." Mo Ziyou was originally silent, and agreed to hear the words.

"It's just," she interrupted, "it's so late, the emperor didn't come here just to see the parrot, right?"

"Haha, you are right. The business is important. Let's go in and talk." Lang Kangzhe nodded and stepped into the inner hall.

There were lights on the scattered silver candlesticks in the hall, and Lang Kangzhe and Mo Ziyou sat facing each other at the tea table carved in rosewood in the middle.

The maid waited attentively on the side. Mo Ziyou was just about to take the tea from Qingwu's hand when he saw Lang Kangzhe had pushed the wine glass in front of her and filled it up for her with his own hands.

"There may not be many opportunities for you and I to sit down and talk." Lang Kangzhe sighed, and suddenly said this. "I cherish this rare gathering very much."

Mo Ziyou was a little surprised, "Why did the emperor say that?"

She sat on a rosewood armchair, calm and decent, but still kept a distance from Lang Kangzhe.

"It's nothing, it's just a sudden feeling." Lang Kangzhe said sullenly with a downcast smile on his face.Soon, he regained his usual expression, and ordered the servants, "You all step back. Let me and the princess talk more freely."

"Yes." Everyone listened to the order to withdraw, and Qi Xu closed the door of the inner hall quite discerningly.

"Mo'er, I came today because I actually want to ask for your help." After sitting down for a while, Lang Kangzhe finally said.

"What's the matter?" Mo Ziyou narrowed his eyes slightly, a little puzzled, "The emperor has something to do, do you want to ask for help from a reclusive person?" Can't do it.

Lang Kangzhe knew what she meant, and smiled, he only took her as a joke, and didn't care about her narrowness.

"Look at what you said, how can I let my love be so embarrassing?" Lang Kangzhe raised his wine glass, motioned to Mo Ziyou, and took the lead to drink it down. "I'll toast you first, Mo'er, and I'll make an apology for the grievances you suffered during this period."

The strong wine was scorching hot, scalding his throat, the ancients always said that only drunkenness can express one's heart, Lang Kangzhe felt it deeply, and swallowed it with a "tsk", only feeling that the whole person was much lighter because of this sip of wine.

"Of course I need your help. You have been stationed in Tianlang for the past two years, so you probably don't know the situation in Xiling. Just a few days ago, Prince Mo Wencong of Xiling suddenly arrived at the border of Tianlang with 20 troops. , at this moment it is pressing on the northwest side of Tianlang."

Lang Kangzhe paused, raised his long and narrow eyes, the tiger eyes were bright, and stared at Mo Ziyou. "And there is no intention of evacuating."

Lang Kangzhe's words were like dropping a heavy stone on the calm water, which stirred up waves in Mo Ziyou's heart. The atmosphere between the two was tense for a moment, and Mo Ziyou's face was slightly startled.

"How?" she asked.

"I also want to ask!" Lang Kangzhe said with a serious expression and a serious smile, "I can't figure out why Xiling treats Tianlang like this. Whenever Tianlang encounters difficulties, Xiling lingers at the border. Forget diplomatic relations!" His words were filled with complaint-like anger, mixed with incomprehension and dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, the matter may not be settled yet. Brother Dahuang may not actually send troops." Mo Ziyou frowned, consolingly while thinking. "Although I don't know why he did this, there must be a reason for him to act."

Lang Kangzhe shook his head, feeling helpless.

"Of course I understand your intentions, but Moer, your elder brother's intentions may not be pure. Tianlang's current situation is unstable, and brother Wen Cong may want to seek some benefits for Xiling. If I were him, I'm afraid I would do the same Ask yourself, what he did is not surprising. It's just that the relationship of trust established by Tianlang Xiling since our mother's generation, is it really going to be shattered because of the relationship of interests?... Mo'er, this is what you want Did you see it?" Lang Kangzhe tried to arouse Mo Ziyou's nostalgia.

"I really don't understand Brother Huang's plan." Mo Ziyou was silent for a moment. "However, major national affairs will not be changed just because of our special identities. Xiling is not only for the Mo clan, but also for all the officials and common people. If the civil and military officials make a request, Brother Huang has to obey. "

"I understand all these, so I specifically want to ask you for a favor."

Lang Kangzhe seemed to have understood Mo Ziyou's hesitation.

"I will not make things difficult for you. I also have no intention of asking you to persuade the Prince of Xiling. I only have one request, and I hope you can agree."

"What request?" Mo Ziyou listened carefully to his words.

"Xiling is eyeing on the border. It's fine if you don't withdraw your troops, or take advantage of it. I don't care, or I don't care, but I hope that the Xiling army will not interfere in Tianlang's internal affairs."

"—In other words, don't interfere in the war between the North and the South!" Lang Kangzhe said forcefully, his attitude was both tactful and firm.

Mo Ziyou stopped, she understood Lang Kangzhe's worry.

Lang Kangzhe was worried that the Xiling army would help Xiaoyin to overthrow his throne. In Lang Kangzhe's eyes, the throne was a hundred times more important than the land and the people.Right now, this should be the biggest thing on Lang Kangzhe's mind.

Lang Kangzhe filled Mo Ziyou's wine again, and slowed down his voice, half helpless, half pleading.

"Mo'er, today is a rare opportunity, let's say something from our hearts."

He drank another glass of wine, took a deep breath, and looked like an ordinary man, quite different from the usual proud and confident.

He no longer had the airs of being unbiased, nor the usual domineering, he suddenly became vulnerable, his expression was both a little moved and a little sad.

Lang Kangzhe always looks more mature than his age, with the composure and arrogance of a young and old man.It was only at this moment that Mo Ziyou suddenly realized that he was just a young man in his 20s. In order to seek a place in the imperial court, he wandered in the vortex of intrigue every day, socialized, manipulated the thoughts of so many ministers, and cited it as his own. use.

It seems that Tianlang's royal family has always been burdened too much, and everyone is very tired.

"No matter how much I hate to admit it, Xiao Shi is already the son-in-law of Xiling. It will be very difficult for Xiling not to support him." Lang Kangzhe held the wine glass in his hand, stroking the embossed lotus pattern on the surface of the glass, feeling a little dazed. .

"The last time you asked me how we got to where we are today, I was very angry because I didn't want to face it, I didn't want to admit that it was all my fault and I deserved it."

"You know, I grew up under the high pressure of my father. I can only succeed and never fail in everything I do. Since childhood, I have been the child he loves to praise in front of others. I am his face of Long Muwei. Don't dare to make mistakes. The prince can make mistakes. If he makes a mistake, he is still the prince. He has the status to endorse him. The fourth and sixth can show off, because they have a queen to clean up the mess. But what do I have? Mother and concubine left early, and grandpa also left. There is no one in the court to support me. Anyone can show me color. My father actually knew it a long time ago, but he never took care of me. And he is so harsh, as long as you are not as good as he wants , even if it is only a little bit, he will be severely punished, and you will never even think about standing upright in front of him."

"Growing up in such an environment, how can I admit my mistakes frankly, how can I accept that I have lost the most beloved you? You, me, Xiaoshi, we should be the closest people, but now, the three of us The relationship between people has made me unable to face it rationally."

"In order to win over the right minister, I failed to marry you. Later, you married Xiao Shi by accident. Over the past year, every time I think of the distance between you and me getting farther and farther, I regret it Moji, it seems like a thorn has been pierced in the bottom of my heart, and the pain pierces through my heart."

"I used to be secretly happy. At least you are married to my own sister. Xiao Shi is a man of etiquette and will definitely take good care of you for me. Maybe, this is just buying me some time so that I can be better." It’s good to be with you, so that I can fulfill my original promise and give you a better day.”

"But I really didn't expect that you, who I have loved for so many years, would be with Xiao Shi, my own sister... How is this possible? But, this is the most naked reality! Maybe, it is God who treats me Punishment for greed. I should have caught you earlier, Moer, I should have kept you by my side earlier!" Lang Kangzhe took a breath, covered his face with his hands remorsefully, and lay down on his head sullenly. On the table, there was silence for a while, and then I clenched my fists again: "But all I think about is the throne! The throne! I missed my most beloved woman!"

He was out of breath, and his flushed face, which was originally stained with the smell of alcohol, turned red and purple. "What a fucking idiot I am! Idiot! I even missed you, what else can I pursue?!" He almost shouted this sentence.

Mo Zi stood aside, frowning tightly, and looked at him with some reluctance.Mo Ziyou knew Lang Kangzhe's past experience, and she had some sympathy for him.What's more, I don't care about him, and I feel a little apologetic seeing his regretful confession.She didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh slightly. "……do not do that."

"I won't mention the unhappy things." Lang Kangzhe raised his head and gradually calmed down.He has lived in the court for many years, and controlling his emotions has become commonplace. "Let's solve the problem at hand."

"Mo'er, I don't ask you to continue to stand by my side. I know how important Xiao Shi is to you. But as the current new emperor of Tianlang, I can't give up this throne no matter what. I've already lost you, I can't If I lose this throne again, what else do I have? I have nothing! The whole south is condemning me, and the historian will criticize me. My reputation, family affection, and you have all left me!"

"Even if someone wants to drive me down from the throne, I will fight him fairly and justly! Defend my last power!"

"So, can you convey this request to the Prince of Xiling from a neutral position, is it okay? This is my only wish, and it is also my last wish. Mo'er, can you help me? For the last time, just be It's the last time!!"

Lang Kangzhe's eyes were very sincere, looking at her with a bit of despair and determination, Mo Ziyou had never seen him with such a pious attitude, Lang Kangzhe rarely expressed his feelings so frankly in front of her, in her impression That Lang Kangzhe was always imposing, bold and unruly.He spurns these failed, inglorious moments, thinking that speaking out is a woman's thing.

Maybe he really cared about the throne, maybe Lang Kangzhe was at the end of his rope, so he needed to beg him so humbly.

Women's hearts are always soft, and Mo Ziyou was a little moved when he thought of Lang Kangzhe's kindness to him in the past.

If there was no battle for the throne, they could all be friends, so why did they come to this point for the sake of fighting for interests.

If either party gives up, it may cost their lives.

She naturally didn't want Xiao Yin to be hurt, but letting Lang Kangzhe fall to the bottom was not the ending she really wanted to see.

It's a pity that this struggle has never had a chance to stop since it started.

"Let me compete fairly with Xiao Shi." Lang Kangzhe continued eagerly, "Emotions can't be fair. But in this world, at least, let me compete fairly with her once! Mo'er, you still treat me a little bit." Emotional, right? You don’t want to see me running away from this palace, do you? For me, Lang Kangzhe, life would be worse than death! You know my pride best, and you won’t take it I was cornered, right, Mo'er?"

Lang Kangzhe stared deeply into Mo Ziyou's eyes, as if he wanted to ask her for an answer, but Mo Ziyou was so stared at by the fiery gaze that he couldn't look directly at him, so he could only turn his face away, struggling quite a bit.

His words were euphemistic enough that it was hard to refuse.

Mo Ziyou's eyes were deep, and he looked at him with complicated emotions

Looking at it now, being involved in the struggle to change Tianlang's throne is really the stupidest decision she has ever made in her life.

"I promise you." Mo Ziyou closed his eyes and said deeply.She can only listen to her heart to make a decision, "but I have one condition."

"Since it is a fair competition, you must not disclose Xiao Yin's identity to the public, otherwise, it will be unfair to her."
