On How a Sworn Enemy Becomes a Lover

Mo Er was quite puzzled and hummed.

King Ouyue just smiled slightly: "You should go back, second child."

Since the other party has issued an order to expel the guest, Mo Er stayed, so naturally he couldn't please him, so he complied.

When he was about to go out, King Ouyue stopped Mo Er, but he couldn't understand the meaning of his words: "Second brother! You are a smart person, you should know what to do and what not to do."

For nearly 20 years, King Ouyue allowed Mo Er to fend for himself.

Never mentioned a word to him, this rare one opened his mouth.

Mo Er was a little stunned, and looked back at King Ouyue in surprise. At this time, the opponent was playing with his chessboard again.

In fact, Mo Er didn't know, Mo Yao was intervening in the matter of washing the house.

Now washing the house is a piece of cake, whoever interferes will cause a whole body of trouble.

But he answered the baptism.

Then even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, you have to take a trip.

However, King Ouyue's formal approach still made him think about it.

It is also disadvantageous for Xixian to let the punishment department judge.

Now Xixian has no reason to prove his innocence, nor does he have evidence of guilt.

Moreover, Zhang Ye, the head of the Punishment Department, and Han Xiang are old masters and servants.

Therefore, how this case is judged, whether it is fair or not, has been discounted from the beginning.

Where is Baizi's lifeline?

Mo Er couldn't figure it out.

Leaving the palace in a daze, he saw the old butler of the Xi Mansion as soon as he raised his eyes.

When the old housekeeper saw Mo Er, he immediately went up to meet him. Following the old housekeeper's line of sight, Mo Er saw the carriage flying the red-patterned flag of Xifu Xuandi.

At the same time, the old butler raised his hand and invited Mo Er to get into the car.

Mo Er hesitated for a step.

If this one is outside the royal city, if he gets into the carriage of Xifu, then his relationship with Xifu will be confirmed, and from then on, they are destined to be in the same breath, and they will be hurt and prosperous together.

The old butler's smile was a bit proud, and he was ostentatiously showing that being able to be related to Xi's family was something that many people couldn't ask for. Now that you are given this honor, you should naturally go up there with joy.

However, after a while, seeing that Mo Er didn't move, the old butler became a little anxious, and asked again patiently: "Second prince please!"

Although the old butler was not angry, he was also respectful.

He kept bowing, motionless.

Mo Er hesitated again and again, looked at the old housekeeper several times, and then boarded the car of Xifu.

"Go to the Punishment Department!" The old butler was driving outside, and Mo Er told him without waiting for him to ask.

"it is good!"

The whole journey was relatively silent, and no one spoke.

The Punishment Department is the place where the chiefs and princes in the city are dealt with, and there are not many people in the usual time.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and it became more and more desolate.

The black magpies in the distant mountains were hoarse and ugly, and they kept screaming at the top of their throats.

While helping Mo Er get out of the car, the old housekeeper spat: "Bad luck, bad luck, really bad luck."

Mo Er also took a look at Yuanshan, the wind and rain are getting more and more windy!

He walked in front, probably after cleaning the house, and Mo Er walked in very directly, and no one stopped him.

The prison of the Penalty Department was built underground, and it was dark all year round. Holding the torch handed to him by the guards, Mo Er stumbled as he walked.

When he saw Xixian, he froze for a moment.

Originally thought that since Xi's house had been taken care of, it would be somewhat easier to wash, but he still underestimated Wang Hao's viciousness.

Under the dim light, although he didn't see anything unusual, his flushed face showed that he didn't seem to be having a good time.

But in just a few hours, he was a little bit unexpectedly embarrassed, Mo Er sighed softly.Called Xixian softly.

Xi Xian probably heard it, opened his eyes, glanced at Mo Er, and laughed.

His laugh was low and soft, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Why do you look like this?" In order to avoid trouble, Mo Er did not change his clothes when he left the palace, and the old housekeeper drove directly to the punishment department, which also caused him to still wear that funny women's attire.

Mo Er was washed so much that he couldn't hold back his smile, and gave him a hard look: "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at the second prince's national beauty, Ping Ping Ting Ting." With this malicious smile coupled with Xi's usual lazy posture, Mo Er had the illusion that he was being molested again.

"You're poor in your mouth!" I wanted to say something harsh to him, but the powerless appearance made Mo Er hide the words when he reached the tip of his mouth.

"You don't ask me, what's the matter?"

Washed and hooked lips, noncommittal: "I believe you."

If he hadn't believed in him from the beginning, how could he have fallen to such a state after his baptism.

Although he didn't understand and didn't want to understand the many schemes during this period, he always believed that Mo Er would not harm him.

Mo Er: "What if I lied to you?"

"Then I will accept my fate."

Xixian was still smiling, different from the usual arrogance, he just pursed his lips and showed a smile, but his light words and this smile left Mo Er unforgettable.

"Be careful." Mo Er didn't ask him what's wrong, because he knew that if Xixian didn't want to talk, it would be useless to force him to ask. Since he came here, he still didn't mention himself, so he just didn't want to talk.

He didn't even mention what he did.

"There is a saying in the Han people that a scholar dies for his confidant. Don't plan too much for me. It is my fate to succeed." Now that his father came back, it would be difficult for him to fish himself out, so why bother forcing Mo Er.

Three years ago, he only injured Han Lin, and his father almost offended the king and princess to save himself.

In the past three years, he knew how sad it was to wash his family.

Among the princes and chiefs in the whole city, except for the Lin family, no one dared to get close to the Xi family.

Daliang's siege is approaching, and it is absolutely impossible to disturb the Ouyue guards because of his affairs.

Xixian's mind is easy to guess but also difficult to guess.

Mo Er thought for a few moments before he realized something from the other's gloomy eyes.

Can't help laughing, looking into his eyes word by word: "What I promise, will be done."

Across the dim firelight, no one spoke.

The sudden sound of bronze drums broke the silence.

The three bronze drums sounded to remind the guards to conduct a thorough investigation of criminals and make final preparations before closing the door at night.

"I should go, be careful tonight." Mo Er's tone was emotionless, and the statement tone made the old housekeeper feel displeased. In fact, to Mo Er, the more important he was, the more he liked to hide it.

After leaving the dungeon, Mo Er was silent from beginning to end.

Until the old butler sent him back to the mansion, the moment he got out of the car: "You make people pay more attention at night."

It rained again tonight.

The drizzle is as dense as silk threads. Mo Er has always disliked rainy days, and the cloudy clouds always make him feel unlucky.

The sense of ominousness in his heart became heavier, and he reminded the old housekeeper again, telling him to pay more attention at night before entering the house.

When he got home, he was still thinking about where Bai Zi's life was.

"Second prince, my servant has brought some hot water. You can warm your hands and feet so you can rest." Xiao Jin held a copper basin, the water in which was still steaming, and placed his hands and feet in front of Mo Er nimbly.

It has been an hour since Mo Er came back.

The cold air of the night had already soaked into the limbs, and Mo Er's hands and feet were cold, and he could hardly feel their existence.

Xiao Jin put down the water and removed the shoes and socks for Mo Er, and Mo Er obediently put his feet into the brass basin.

After being stimulated by the hot water and the blood began to circulate, it was numb and itchy.

Mo Er couldn't bear the feeling of being unable to get up and down, so he pulled his foot out, and the splashed water splashed on Xiao Jin's body.

Instantly got wet.

"You put the basin first, I'll clean it up later, you go out and change your clothes, it's not worth it if you catch a cold." Seeing that Xiao Jin was about to clean up the mess, Mo Er stopped him.

Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, and said with sincerity and fear, "I thank the second prince for his concern."

"It's not something particularly worth talking about." Mo Er picked up a cloth towel to dry off the water.

Little Jin cleaned up the water basin, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I always want to thank the second prince. What happened a month ago was all my fault after all. I'm not explaining, but I really can't do anything about it." Years of wars, my father and uncle died early, and we are the only ones left."

"Do you have a good relationship with your brothers and sisters?" Mo Er and King Ouyue are not close, so they are not considered to have family members. He is always curious about families.

Xiao Jin must have thought of his sisters and said with a helpless smile: "It's not good."

Mo Er's concept of family members is very vague. Hearing Xiao Jin's words, he smiled and said: "Suppose you have a younger brother who is not good enough, he can always cause you all kinds of troubles, then if he dies for no reason, Will you pursue it?"

Xiao Jin pondered for a while, Fang said: "My fifth brother is like this, I have to meet the neighbors who complained about him every day. But he is also my brother, so naturally I will not let him Died for no apparent reason."

"Suppose his death has something to do with your grandfather?"

Xiao Jin was a little puzzled, and looked at Mo Er in puzzlement.

Mo Er: "What will you do?"

Xiao Jin hesitated for a long time, then Fang slowly said: "Justice is always to be sought."

"is it?"

Mo Er looked out the window suspiciously. It was raining heavily. Although he couldn't see clearly, the raindrops made a crackling sound as they hit the window sill.

Could it be that this is the vitality of Baizi that King Ouyue said?

"Bring me the poncho." Mo Er's sudden command made Xiao Jin fully understand the effort of a cup of tea.

It was already midnight, Mo Er took the poncho handed over by Xiao Jin, put it on, and went out.

The rain was far heavier than what he had heard, and after only two steps, the hem of his robe was soaked.

There was no one on the road, it was pitch black, and the sky and the earth were very close at this moment, almost squeezed together.

Mo Er braved the rain and rushed to Han Xiangfu.

Because of Han Lin's death, Han's house was completely white, the only strange color in the dark sky.

Mo Er knocked on the door and saw an old man open the door after a while.

He ignored the old man's inquiry and directly broke into the only room with lights on.

In the middle of the hall is Han Lin's coffin.

Han Xiang sat in front of the coffin.

He seems to have aged a lot.

Seeing Mo Er, he reacted for a long time before asking dully, "What's the matter?"

According to the customs of the Yue people, the body of a person who died violently cannot be kept for a long time, and can only be kept for one night at most.

Tomorrow is the time for Han Lin's burial.

"May I ask what Han Xiang's opinion is about Han Lin?" Mo Er was a little uncertain about Han Xiang's thoughts. To him, whether it was wealth, wealth, or son was more important.
