Mrs. Mo said he would not agree

The low-key and elegant Cao Guogong's mansion has always been quiet and solemn.

It's just that these two days have been extremely noisy.

Princess Rongxi is a person who likes to be quiet, but she has one thing, she is extremely protective.She only gave birth to a baby lump like Cao Liu, and this lump is quite good at being a person. Although she always stumbles when it comes to women, she has a lot of friends, elegant posture, and personable manners. She also has the experience of traveling abroad a few years ago. , Occasionally, when socializing, it is a bit of face to say it.

In the end, this baby bump was actually stabbed, so how could Princess Rongxi not be angry?

When Cao Liu was recovering from his injuries at home, Princess Rongxi, who has always been shy about showing off, had already gone to Peng's house twice, causing a lot of trouble.This made the Peng family, who had just avoided the attention of the capital, once again become the focus of everyone.

For Peng Huaiyuan, I am afraid that he felt unlucky.

But Cao Liu was also suffering.

He was the last person who didn't want Princess Rongxi to make trouble, but Princess Rongxi, who had always been obedient to him, would never back down on his affairs.

She took Cao Liu's persuasion as patience, and the brain supplements that came out of this association turned Cao Liu into a poor guy, and the hatred in her heart regenerated, and she couldn't wait to take a bite of the Peng family.

Cao Liu clutched the scar on his waist, really dumbfounded.

Princess Rongxi thought he was forbearing, but Cao Liu was actually afraid.

If the movement caused by Princess Rongxi attracts other people's attention, or even attracts... the consequences will be disastrous.

Cao Liu lay in bed recovering from his injuries for a few days, but he really didn't dare to endure it any longer, so he quickly got up and went to Princess Rongxi's main courtyard in person, clutching the injuries in his waist.

Princess Rongxi looks soft and beautiful.Although she is in her 40s, there is no trace of age on her face.

This is a woman who has been favored by time.

When she looked at Cao Liu from Ruanta, even as a son, he also deeply felt the beauty of his mother.

Most of Cao Liu's good looks are inherited from Princess Rongxi.

And he grew up beside Princess Rongxi, and he had strict requirements on a woman's appearance. Even when Princess Rongxi saw Peng Er, she really knew how beautiful this woman was.

I can't blame her son for taking a fancy to Peng Erniang.

"You mean, it's actually you who fell in love with her girl and turned out to be stubborn, but you didn't take responsibility?" Princess Rongxi looked at Cao Liu with her beautiful eyes, and said flatly, "It won't be because of your little love. I’m here to explain, so I’m making excuses, right?”

In Princess Rongxi's heart, if she is a girl from a good family, she must not be able to do such nonsense before marriage.

Without the words of the matchmaker, how can you make a private decision for life indiscriminately?

In order to persuade the mother of his beloved son, Cao Liu really went all out, and he said helplessly: "...Actually, it was because of Jiao Mingxiang's death. I was a little sad, and I accidentally revealed it in front of Peng Erniang Come out, this is..."

Princess Rongxi paused while eating tea, "It's not enough for you to provoke one, but you ended up provoking two?"

Cao Liu thought, with your son's appearance, is it only worth two?

But he didn't dare to say that on the face, he just said with a smile: "It's not just a moment of confusion, that's why..."

Princess Rongxi slapped Cao Liu on the head, and said ferociously: "You are good, your father and I are both lazy, how could you be such a sentimental species? That's all, since You are also responsible for the Peng family's affairs, and I will not be too demanding about Mrs. Peng's affairs. These few days, you will be locked up at home, and you must not go out to mess around again!"

Princess Rongxi has also heard of Jiao Mingxiang's reputation.

Xiuwai Huizhong is good, but it is a pity that his fate is not good, so he left early.

If Cao Liu really fell in love with Jiao Mingxiang and insisted on marrying him, that would be fine.However, from Cao Liu's remarks just now, Princess Rongxi could tell that no matter whether it was Jiao Mingxiang or Peng Er, in her son's heart, she might only have the role of red sleeves, and it was not really her heart.

After driving Cao Liu away, Princess Rongxi sighed deeply.

The serving mother said softly: "Princess, although the prince is a bit greedy for beauty, there is nothing wrong with him in other places."

Princess Rongxi shook her head, "It's fine with the Peng family, Peng Er was born to the eldest lady, and his father is only a fourth- and fifth-rank official, which is nothing. But Jiao Mingxiang... I can only rejoice that this girl has gone, otherwise Jiao Mingxiang Jiao Lian'an of the family has a bad temper. In addition, Jiao Lian'an has had close contacts with the Jiao's family, if this matter about Liu'er gets out, alas..."

I'm afraid that even Cao Liu's reputation will be ruined.

She seemed to know why Cao Liu came here this morning, and she was afraid that she was worried that all her past affairs would be revealed and investigated, but she ignored it.

Mammy said helplessly: "It's no wonder the princess, who would have thought..."

"Forget it, with Liu'er's personality, it's okay to let him get frustrated. Let the people in his yard serve snacks, so as not to delay the healing of the wound."

"Yes."

When Cao Liu returned to the house, he covered the wound on his waist.

After all, it hurts a little.

The embroidery scissors don't look big, but the sharp point is extremely worn, and when it is poked in and then cut, it is really painful.Although Cao Liu was young and walked around outside, after all, he was the son of Cao Guogong and the only legitimate son of the princess, and there were not a few people who served him by his side. How could he have been really injured?

The boy Yang Fan supported Cao Liu to sit down, and said helplessly: "My lord, why do you go to pollute yourself in front of His Royal Highness the Princess? It would be good if you can let Mrs. Peng rub her arrogance."

What kind of person is his family's heir, he got hurt casually, without even saying a word of apology, is this crazy?

Cao Liu slapped Yang Fan on the head. Judging by his movements and posture, he was almost the same as Princess Rongxi.He frowned and said, "What do you think is such a simple matter? Don't forget that although Peng Huaiyuan has not been in office for a long time, he was promoted by His Majesty. You have looked at Peng Erniang too many times. , do you really think Mrs. Peng is someone easy to bully?"

Now Peng Huaiyuan is holding back because he hasn't figured out what's going on, but once he finds out something serious, it will affect his whole body.

Cao Liu was terrified that Princess Rongxi's aggression would make Peng Huaiyuan break the jar.

He sat down clutching his wound and began to think about what to do about it.

Jiao Mingxiang's accident was an accident.

But it is not an accident.

Cao Liu prides himself on being affectionate, and there are many Yingying and Yanyan around him, but Jiao Mingxiang is one of the people who caught his eye.One is because of her status, and the other is because of her brain.

Jiao Mingxiang is really too smart, Cao Liu is using her when he is with her, but he is also admiring her.

But Cao Liu didn't expect that Jiao Mingxiang would dare to set up such a trap just by virtue of their occasional communication, and even almost killed Mo Jingchun.

This seemed to be an accident full of mistakes and omissions, but Cao Liu, who had talked with Jiao Mingxiang, knew that it actually went through many calculations by Jiao Mingxiang.At least, since the past few months, no one has come to see Jiao Mingxiang, which is enough to see her ability to deal with the aftermath.

Jiao Shicong was the first move Cao Liu buried.

The reason why Jiao Shicong was chosen was because his surname was Jiao.

Jiao Mingxiang came later.

But Jiao Mingxiang's identity is very convenient, and the public interaction will not attract the attention of others, coupled with their age, and their current identities are similar, it is much easier to communicate with Jiao Shicong.From the beginning, Jiao Shicong asked Jiao Mingxiang to help pass the news, and later Jiao Mingxiang also became Cao Liu's person, which was something Jiao Shicong could not have imagined.

But something happened to Jiao Mingxiang.

Before Cao Liu wanted to do it.

There was no way, Jiao Mingxiang knew too many things, and her heart was too cruel, she didn't tell Cao Liu at all when she made the move, she just said with a smile that she would give him a surprise.

This is a surprise?

This is actually a scare, right?

Mo Jingchun almost died, and the entire capital was raided several times, which caught them off guard.

An uncontrollable woman, no matter how useful she is, is a scourge.

Jiao Mingxiang's ambition is too big.

This made Cao Liu decide to kill Jiao Mingxiang.

But before Cao Liu could do anything, something happened to Jiao Mingxiang.

She fell from the Xiulou, but she had nothing to do with Cao Liu.

When he learned that Jiao Mingxiang might wake up again, he simply did nothing and had Jiao Mingxiang killed.The person who did it was very cautious, using the needle method, and the small holes were difficult to detect.

After Jiao Mingxiang's matter was resolved, Cao Liu was not at ease.

What happened to Jiao Mingxiang...was it really an accident?

If it wasn't an accident, who would be following Jiao Mingxiang?If Jiao Mingxiang is being targeted, what about Jiao Shicong?Jiao Shicong knew much more than Jiao Mingxiang.

If Jiao Mingxiang deserves to die, then it is even more impossible for Jiao Shicong to stay.

But it is easy to kill Jiao Mingxiang, but it is not an easy task to kill Jiao Shicong.

If something happens to a woman in the back house, the government will generally not be involved.

But if something happens to an imperial court official, unless there is definite evidence that the person died of a sudden illness, it will easily provoke the intervention of the Jingzhao Mansion, or even the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. big.

"Yang Fan, send a letter to Jiao Shicong and ask him to meet him at the old place."

Cao Liu touched his pretty face and didn't care the slightest bit about the ban.

As long as he wants to leave, there are ways to leave.

Three days later, Biezhuang in the suburbs of Beijing.

Cao Liu specially chose the day when Jiao Shicong rested and took a bath. Anyway, he doesn't need to be a high-ranking person, he can choose any day.

Cao Liu had disguised himself as a traveler early on, and then waited at the Jiao family's village.

When Jiao Shicong came, Cao Liu was startled.

Jiao Shicong seemed to be a different person, and he had just been fished out of the water. His whole body looked like he had been soaked, his lips and tongue were all purple.

He even kept swinging, relying on his thick cloak to sustain it.

Although Cao Liu knew that Jiao Shicong would be saddened by Jiao Mingxiang's death, he never expected that the change would be so great.

Cao Liu was silent for a while, "What's going on with you?"

He frowned and looked at Jiao Shicong's appearance, even if Jiao Mingxiang was his daughter, he shouldn't have behaved like this, it was simply too much.

Holding a heater in his arms, Jiao Shicong coughed and said, "I accidentally fell into the pond before, and my body was so cold that I couldn't bear it. You were screaming anxiously, so you came here in a hurry."

Cao Liu felt that Jiao Shicong's attitude was a bit strange.

But when he saw Jiao Shicong's respectful attitude, he said it was strange, but he couldn't see it anywhere.

He frowned and said, "Mingxiang's matter..."

Jiao Shicong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Whether it is the Xiulou where the accident happened or her body, in fact, they have been checked in private, and there are no traces. It's just that we are upset in our hearts, and we can't accept it."

Cao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best situation.

He sank his mind, "Now you have been in the position of servant for a while, do you think about doing it again next year?"

Jiao Shicong's heart sank, he knew that this was Cao Liu's compensation.

Cao Liu's usual style of doing things is a bit ruthless, and he believes that if he sees no rabbits, he will not scatter eagles. If there is no reason, he will never make up for it for no reason.

The matter of Jiao Mingxiang was related to him.

Even if it wasn't him who did the attack, the twists and turns must have something to do with Cao Liu.

Cao Liu didn't know what Jiao Shicong was thinking in his heart, and he didn't know why he was trapped during this period of time, so that he became what he is now.

He still asked the questions he cared about before, dispelled Jiao Shicong's doubts a little, and arranged his purpose and manpower logically, and then let Jiao Shicong leave.

"My lord, Jiao Shicong doesn't look quite right."

Cao Liu, who just arranged a bunch of work for others, nodded, "It's really not right, send someone to watch. If Jiao Shicong really has a problem, or plans to have a relationship with Jiao Lian'an... then kill him directly, and then pretend to be an accident .”

The trouble is that it's a little troublesome, but it's safer than Jiao Shicong leaking it out.

Yang Fan: "If that's the case, the move arranged by Jiao's family will be useless."

If there is a choice, Cao Liu would not want to choose Jiao Lian'an.

He is more suitable than Jiao Shicong, but Jiao Lian'an's will is too firm to be shaken at all.

So Jiao Shicong was the next best choice.

It took several years to gradually cultivate this person, and Yang Fan still felt a little distressed that he would be abolished so directly if something happened.

Cao Liu: "Compared to safety, this is nothing."

His visit this time was just a temptation.

No matter how hard it is to go, they have to change their way, and it's not like they didn't leave behind.

...

"Cao Liu and Jiao Shicong met?"

Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, looking at An Shisan, who was on duty today.

"Yes, Jiao Shicong took several days off and stayed in bed at home. But three days ago, he received a message from Cao Liu, asking him to meet outside the city."

Mo Jingchun pondered and said: "Now we can really confirm one thing."

Cao Liu was the one who helped Jiao Shicong return to the capital a few years ago.

It is not easy to deduce the result from the process, but it is not difficult to infer the process from the result.

After confirming the existence of Cao Liu, Mo Jingchun immediately sent someone to find out who in the previous officials had a close relationship with the Cao family.As a result, after such a search, it was easily brought out.

The former Right Minister of the Ministry of Officials was indeed related to the Cao family.

But it's about Princess Rongxi.

In this way, some hidden chains are dug out.

Whether it was Jiao Shicong, Cao Liu, or Jiao Mingxiang and Peng Erniang...especially the young men and women in the back, they were all very common parts of social life in the capital, and there was nothing unusual about them at all.

Because it is normal, it is integrated into everything, and it is difficult to be thoroughly investigated.

Mo Jingchun thoughtfully.

If the secrets of the Jiao family are related to these, then when Mo Jingchun came here, he should have dug out half of it, and the other half...

It all depends on what Jiao Shicong and Cao Liu can provide.

Especially Cao Liu.

Whether it's Jiao Shicong or Jiao Mingxiang, they all follow Cao Liu as their master and follow his orders to do things.Under such a premise, Jiao Mingxiang tried to get an outsider...Kong Xiu to assassinate him.

How Jiao Mingxiang ensured that Kong Xiu would definitely do something is not discussed for now.

But why did Jiao Mingxiang come up with such a scheme?

...It's because of Cao Liu.

Cao Liu is Jiao Mingxiang's lover, and it is only natural that Jiao Mingxiang wants to do something for Cao Liu.

Then why did Cao Liu target Mo Jingchun?

Cao Liu is the heir of Cao Guogong and Princess Rongxi, born into a powerful family.He has no grudges with the Mo family in the past, nor has he had any grudges in recent days. He himself doesn't even know Mo Jingchun at all, only heard of each other's names.

Mo Jingchun rarely makes enemies with others, if someone wants to kill Mo Jingchun, there is only one possibility.

Because of the relationship between Mo Jingchun and Emperor Zhengshi.

Mo Jingchun is Emperor Zhengshi's Yaoyin. This identity has already laid the foundation several years ago, and many people deeply believe that Mo Jingchun is valued by His Majesty because of this.

But in fact, those who are familiar with Emperor Zhengshi should all know that if Mo Jingchun only wanted to pay attention to this, then it would be impossible for Mo Jingchun to get to where he is today.

To this day, Mo Jingchun is Emperor Zhengshi's confidant, a fact known to all courtiers.

So the matter of Yaoyin, in fact, most of the time, is forgotten after a long time, and it is never mentioned again.

But even so, someone will still remember it.

Remember clearly about King Qinghe, remember about King Xuhuai.

Cao Liu wants to rebel?

Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, paced back and forth, but was a little puzzled.

Regardless of Cao Liu's background or power, plus his performance in these years... Cao Guogong and Princess Rongxi should not know his son's ambitions, otherwise the Peng family's affairs would not have caused such a big disturbance.

But Cao Liu... Cao Liu...

Not just Cao Liu.

Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, revealing a helpless expression. If it was only Cao Liu, it would be impossible for him to have such a concealed posture, and it is impossible for him to have no definite identity until now.

And when he guessed here, Mo Jingchun had already guessed the identity of the behind-the-scenes almost.

Maybe a family.

Maybe several.

But their purpose is probably to change the dynasty.If not, it would be good to change the emperor.

If you only rely on them and want to pull Zhengshi Emperor off his horse, it may not be easy. In the past two years, for those people, it's like being sleepy and being given a pillow, but that's it.

The people who have been threatened by the big movements of Emperor Zhengshi in the past few years, besides the clan relatives, are the aristocratic families.

Mo Jingchun closed his eyes, aristocratic family...

As long as this struggle continues, Mo Jingchun's life may not be safe.

But this mission thirteen, starting from here, has already been considered promising, at least it is no longer as headless as before.

But the thirteenth task has shown signs, and the fourteenth task, which has been accepted for several days, is really troublesome.

Your Majesty... What secrets are there?

People change over time as they grow up.As the character becomes more mature, people will gradually become gentler. This is something that will eventually appear as the years change.But it is too early for this to fall on His Majesty.

Mo Jingchun touched his neck subconsciously, and when his fingertips reached the base of his ears, he retracted subconsciously.

That strange touch seemed to be still on the fingertips, making Mo Jingchun hard to forget.

The source of this may be in him.

But in the past few years, although Mo Jingchun can't be as unscrupulous as His Majesty, he has gradually gotten used to it. The relationship between the two should not be... If you want to know what His Majesty is hiding, you have to have real contact with Emperor Zhengshi That's what works.

However, since Mo Jingchun became stiff that day, he has been busy with the affairs of the bureaucracy for quite some time, so he didn't enter the palace much.

But he himself is not clear enough, every night, whether or not Emperor Zhengshi sneaked into Mo's residence behind his back.Mo Jingchun was silent for a moment, and began to have a headache.

At this point, the spirits seem helpless.

When I went back at night, An Shiyi came over quietly and said softly: "Master, I found out about the Peng family earlier... Now there are... and... the Cao family...

"Your Majesty said that I hope to wait for you in Changle Palace tomorrow."

On the day when the matter of the Peng family was found out, Mo Jingchun had someone send it to the palace, and now what An Shi said was exactly what His Majesty found out now.

Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, and Emperor Zhengshi also sensed his intentions, so there was a back and forth.

If the person who is connected with Cao Liu is really his former classmate in the academy, and what Mo Jingchun found out now, it is another direction.

Mo Jingchun pinched the base of his nose wearily, "I will go tomorrow."

"Here!"

After An Shiyi left, he quietly climbed up to the eaves from the corner, just in time to see Mohen walking from below.

Mohen brought the latest account book and whispered, "Mr. Lang, do you want me to..."

Mo Jingchun shook his head, sighed and said, "Your ability is indeed strong, but you have been around me for too long, even if you are a disguise, it is still easy to be exposed if someone is staring at you."

The things that the dark guards can find are too private, and may not be used as evidence.

But it might be good if it can be combined with Mohen.

But Mo Jingchun decided to give up after thinking about it.The existence of Mohen has been exposed, as long as anyone who treats Mo Jingchun with snacks, he will be more or less aware of Mo Jingchun's protective character, as well as the people around him.

In this way, it would be dangerous for Mohen to do these things.

However, it is not impossible to do things on the bright side.

Mo Jingchun said: "Tomorrow, go and remind Miss Chen to be careful when going out recently."

Mohen was slightly surprised, and said strangely: "Now, she is in the capital..."

Mo Jingchun slowly shook his head, "Didn't I also have an accident in the capital?"

He sighed.

"Mohen, no one can be sure that nothing will go wrong. No matter how many people His Majesty sends, there are thousands of horses and horses, but one staggered and fell on a stone. Maybe I just fell to my death. It is hard to explain the accident. , be careful."

Mohen said dryly: "At least those hidden guards are here, so there won't be such an accident."

Mo Jingchun laughed loudly, "But no one can tell. What if one day it's actually poisoning, or something else? Day and night defenses are also difficult, but at least be cautious."

Mo Hen knew that his husband would not be aimless, but it was precisely because of this that he was worried.

The next day, the snow finally stopped.

Although it is still cold to go out, there is no need to open an umbrella.

When Mo Jingchun entered the palace, he found that the person guarding the palace gate was actually Liu Changning.Holding the hilt of his sword, with a serious expression, he nodded slowly and saluted when he saw Mo Jingchun.

Mo Jingchun nodded in agreement, and lowered the curtain of the car.

He recalled that the security of the palace gate was extremely strict just now.Su Wei's nervousness and solemnity were even more serious than before.

what happened?

Mo Jingchun was absorbed in thinking, but he forgot the time. When he came back to his senses, he found that the carriage did not stop at the usual place, but stopped at the imperial study.

Mo Jingchun: "..."

That's why he drove the carriage in such a majestic manner in the palace, attracting attention.

He got out of the carriage and glanced at Wei Yi, only to find that there was an ordinary-looking man sitting beside him at some point,

The moment he saw Mo Jingchun, he jumped down to salute.

Wei Yi gestured behind him, this is the deputy commander of the secret guard.

Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows.

The deputy commander of the dark guards quietly withdrew after saluting.

Mo Jingchun: "When did he come up?"

Wei Yi: "Outside the palace. I guess it was a smooth ride, but he is very grateful to his master, and just now he followed the little one to grab the reins outside." That's why the carriage drove straight in.

Wei Yi said that the vice-commander's personality is a bit weird, but he is very loyal to His Majesty.

Mo Jingchun found it interesting, but the imperial study room was right in front of him, so he went towards the imperial study room without delay.

But just as he thought, in the imperial city where carriages and sedan chairs were forbidden to enter the palace, there was a carriage driving straight in, and the guards turned a blind eye to it, and no one stopped it. It was really strange.

A moment ago, on the palace road, Princess Rongxi and her party stopped and took a look at the carriage.

Apart from Princess Rongxi, there were several noble ladies and old ladies among the pedestrians, all of whom came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.Even they could only park the carriage at a place inside the palace gate, and then walked to the Empress Dowager's palace under the guidance of the palace staff.

But that carriage was so unique.

A young noble lady couldn't help asking: "Who is that carriage just now?" The distance they traveled was not far, but after all, it took some effort. Hot eyes.

The palace man leading the way said with a light smile: "Looking at the style of the carriage, it should be Mo Shangshu. Sometimes His Majesty is a little anxious, so he licensed Mo Shangshu to do so."

The man in the palace took this matter lightly.

But no matter how to mention it in one stroke, there is a difference.

Except for Mo Jingchun, when they entered the palace, they had never seen any other carriages that could drive in the palace road, but Xu Boheng had such an honor, every time he entered the palace, he had a small sedan chair.

But Xu Boheng is a veteran of the three dynasties, but what about Mo Shangshu?

Princess Rongxi raised her eyebrows, Mo Shangshu, Mo Jingchun...

Behind her, a noble lady named Zheng Yunmin said with a smile: "I'm afraid His Majesty has something important to do, so I hurriedly summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Officials." She pointed out the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and stopped talking.

In this way, other noble ladies who want to talk again, think of the name of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and stop talking.

They walked along the palace road to the West Sixth Palace, and after another incense stick, they finally arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was taking a test for the eldest prince's homework.

After the eldest prince studied with his master, his knowledge improved by leaps and bounds. In just one year, it was completely different from before.The Empress Dowager showed a satisfied smile, listened to the communication outside, and asked people to come in.

The noble ladies of the female family bowed low and saluted, and were given a seat by the queen mother.

The First Prince was not called down, so he could only sit there helplessly, listening to the Empress Dowager chatting with these female relatives.

Passing the sign in the palace depends on the nobleman's wishes, sometimes the queen mother likes to meet alone, sometimes the queen mother likes to meet together, it's all a matter of chance.Looking at the many people on this day, I was afraid that the Empress Dowager was too lazy to dismiss it, so she simply picked a day, but it was bustling.

Princess Rongxi said with a smile: "The eldest prince looks much healthier than before. After all, it is the empress dowager who has raised her well."

The queen mother patted the eldest prince's hand, and said helplessly: "With his temperament, if he goes out again, he might cause something."

It was just like the previous time when he sneaked out of the palace to play tricks, but the Queen Mother was taken aback, so that in the afternoon, she knew that someone had been found.

However, it was delayed until the next day, when His Majesty brought it back from outside the palace himself.

This can make the Queen Mother very anxious.

At that time, the Empress Dowager reprimanded the Eldest Prince, after all, she also knew that the Eldest Prince was still young and just liked to be playful, so she no longer restrained his activities so much, that's why no such incidents happened again.

However, the loophole that allowed the First Prince to sneak out of the palace has long been filled, and it is not that simple to sneak away again.

After the empress dowager finished speaking, the others laughed, "If the eldest prince's pure temperament is still bad, then there will really be no good-natured people in the world."

"That's right, the eldest prince is so pure and kind that he is happy."

"I heard that reading is also very powerful..."

"His Majesty……"

The queen mother listened with a smile, and said to Princess Rongxi: "Liu'er is about twenty this year, and when he is old, he should take care of himself and stop messing around."

Her manner of speaking was not heavy, but it also showed the meaning of the Queen Mother.

It seems that what happened at Peng's house before was passed into the Queen Mother's ears.

Princess Rongxi smiled and said: "The queen mother is very right, Liu'er is also at this age, it's time to talk about marriage. If the queen mother has any good candidates, don't hide it, and show Liu'er Look."

The queen mother laughed, "You are here waiting for Aijia. But it is true that you are looking for Aijia, Xiulin, go and get the portrait."

The female officer bowed at the side and went away quietly.

The Queen Mother may not have anything else here, but there may not be no portraits of suitable candidates.After all, in order to find a suitable empress for the emperor, the empress dowager had searched for countless women of suitable age, but the emperor was so stubborn that she didn't like any of them.

Princess Rongxi watched there patiently for a while, but she really liked a few of them.

The queen mother's words hit Princess Rongxi's mind. After all, Cao Liu is already 21 years old. If you don't seriously look for it, it means that no matter how good his background is, he needs to find a suitable girl. , but it is not so easy.

When this group of people was about to leave, they were still escorted by the previous palace servants.

When they were about to leave the gate of the palace, a group of old guards suddenly stopped them from the front. The head of the guards looked serious and said coldly: "Please wait a moment, my lords, don't be attacked by sinners."

When Princess Rongxi and other female relatives heard this tone, they immediately held down the young girls behind them and moved to the side, but the speed outside was faster than they imagined, before they returned to the original palace road , I saw twenty or so soldiers full of awe-inspiring spirit stepping in with an elderly man pressed down.

The old man's hands and head were imprisoned on the same wooden shackles, and as he walked, he could still hear the sound of the iron chains rattling. Zheng Yunmin looked down cleverly and found that his feet were also bound by heavy iron chains. chain bound.

The old man looked familiar, but his face was full of hatred and resentment, looking at...

"King Qinghe!"

A familiar handkerchief behind him exclaimed in surprise, and said in a subdued voice, "It's actually King Qinghe."

Princess Rongxi immediately thought of Mo Jingchun who entered the palace earlier.

It seems that His Majesty summoned Mo Jingchun precisely for this purpose.

In Changle Palace.

Mo Jingchun and Gong Yeqi sat and played chess against each other for some time.

Mo Jingchun's expression was indifferent, looking at the chess board that had gradually fallen into crisis, but he didn't care, his fingers were still caressing a chess piece.

The emperor took a large piece of Mo Jingchun's chess pieces without hesitation.

Black has surrounded white.

"Your Majesty, King Qinghe has been escorted outside the palace."

The emperor didn't speak, but just stared at Mo Jingchun's movements.

Mo Jingchun stared at the chess board for a long time before finally making a move.

The moment when it was just a chess piece, it gave White a chance of survival.

Gongye laughed and said, "Master is very patient."

If he hadn't been very patient, he might not have been able to wait for this opportunity, and he would have surrendered just now.

Mo Jingchun: "I don't like playing chess that much. But I don't like losing either."

If you can win, why not win?

When the game of chess was over, Mo Jingchun still lost.

But before that, the outcome of the two of them has always been counted.

Mo Jingchun: "Your Majesty, let King Qinghe come in."

Before the imperial court ordered the deprivation of their titles, even if they committed the crime of treason, they were still princes.

Emperor Zhengshi lazily threw a chess piece on the door, Liu Hao poked his head out carefully and looked into the imperial study.

"Let people in."

King Qinghe, who had knelt outside the door for a quarter of an hour, was dragged in, his whole body was clanging, and he almost fell to the ground.After all, he is old, and he has endured this period of time. Since he was arrested and brought to Beijing, he has been on the road almost day and night, eating and sleeping in the open.He is also a prisoner, not to mention rest, suffering is a common thing.

Just now, he knelt outside the door for another quarter of an hour, and when he got up, King Qinghe's eyes immediately went dark.

When he barely stood still, King Qinghe finally saw the people in the room clearly.

Except for Emperor Zhengshi who was sitting on the right hand looking lazily at the chess board, the person sitting on the left was Mo Jingchun.

left?

There were subtle ripples in King Qinghe's heart. Since ancient times, the left side has been respected. Mo Jingchun should sit on the right side. How could he sit on the left side?

Don't look at this as a simple seat, but it is absolutely impossible to mess it up.

He was staring at Mo Jingchun intently, when his forehead suddenly felt a pain, a chess piece fell off his head and rolled to his feet.Emperor Zhengshi didn't know when he looked at him, his expression was cold and strange, and it was so cold that it made people shiver, "What is King Qinghe looking at?"

King Qinghe laughed, but the smile was a bit ferocious.

"Isn't this king going to see who is the monster that made His Majesty go crazy this time, kill my son, force me to rebel... This king is really regretful, I only sent a few people at the beginning, and it was just right. Tear Mo Jingchun apart on Tianjie, only then can I comfort my son's spirit in heaven!"

"Presumptuous!" Liu Hao sternly said, "King Qinghe, you sent people to attack the court ordering the official first, and the prince died suddenly later, how could the cause and effect be reversed like this?!"

"Hahahaha-"

King Qinghe hissed and laughed, "Is he worthy?"

If the son hadn't died because of Mo Jingchun, he wouldn't have taken Mo Jingchun to heart at all. Even if he remembered, it was only because he wanted to test Emperor Zhengshi that he sent someone to attack him.

Emperor Zhengshi raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and said, "Do you think Liu Ming's death was too easy?" He stood up from his limp, wearing a black robe, revealing a sense of coldness.

The emperor walked up to King Qinghe step by step, looked at the old prince who was still standing, and said quietly: "The king of Qinghe committed trouble, and he still doesn't kneel when he sees the widow.
