Chapter 15: The Chess Pieces Are Settled
Mo Chenghuan chatted a lot with Qi Yu that day, but both of them kept silent about Dongtianji, which seemed to have become a tacit understanding between them.
After Mo Chenghuan and Qi Yu dispersed, they each returned to their own bedrooms, which was what Jin Su had already done, and Mo Chenghuan had ordered him to come back and stand by.
Mo Chenghuan explained that Jin Su was going to do something very simple, that is, to meet Wen Baolai of the inner guard, Wen Baolai was the eyeliner arranged by her father Mo Zhongxuan in the early morning of the inner guard, and she had never contacted her before, because there was nothing important, she didn't want to expose Wen Baolai, although she was an insignificant pawn, but the pawn sometimes played a key role.
She also asked Jin Su to bring a letter to Wen Baolai, and the content of the letter was to ask him to arrange for He Qingxue to go to the West City Gate at two o'clock at noon the next day.
The reason why she asked Wen Baolai to arrange it was because Wen Baolai's direct boss, it was this Luo Zhiqi, as long as the details were handled well enough, it would make Sima Yi associate Qi Yu with the matter of sending a letter to Luo Zhiqi.
This Wen Baolai is also a shrewd person, as soon as he received Mo Chenghuan's letter, he immediately turned around and asked Jin Su to give a basket of silver charcoal, although Jin Su couldn't understand it, but he also smoothly led the silver charcoal back.
Another day passed, at one o'clock at noon, Dong Tianji came to Chanxin Garden, Mo Chenghuan was in full swing with walnuts, Dong Tianji sat next to Mo Chenghuan and took the walnuts in Mo Chenghuan's hands.
"I've already asked He Chong to go over, do you have any other instructions?" Dongtian said ambiguously in Mo Chenghuan's ear in a very low voice.
"Help me peel the walnuts first, peel them well, and then I'll tell you," Mo Chenghuan weirdly pushed all the walnuts in front of him in front of Dongtianji.
"I'm the emperor, you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will punish your crimes?" Dong Tianji was blaming on his lips, but he had already begun to peel walnuts for Mo Chenghuan in his hands.
"Minglan, go to the kitchen to see if Jinsu's sugar lotus is ready," Mo Chenghuan deliberately ignored Dongtianji, and raised his head to support the little maid who was waiting on the side.
Minglan didn't have any scheming, and when she heard the order, she walked away with light steps.
"After you go back, you go to He Qingxue's place to see if you like to give her another side or something, and Qi Yu also spoke, Zheng Lingzhi, you should also pay attention, how long have you not been to Lu Wanjuan?" Mo Chenghuan pointed out Dongtianji's mistakes one by one like a parent checking the children's homework.
Dongtian smiled helplessly: "You have arranged my itinerary for this month!"
"Not satisfied?" Mo Chenghuan raised his eyebrows, revealing an unhappy expression.
"How dare I, okay, everything depends on you, I'll go back and think about how to arrange these three people," Dongtian peeled the walnuts with a sad face, and he didn't know whether he was worried about the arrangement given by Mo Chenghuan or about peeling the walnuts.
"You said that you don't like people, why do you marry so many people and come back and spoil people," Mo Chenghuan looked at Dongtianji's depressed face, and couldn't help but tease him.
"Is this something that can be swayed by my preference? If that's the case, then I'll just marry you if I like it, and what others dare to say around me, I'll directly put him in the prison with a finger of my hand, no! Directly execute him on the spot!"
"Those who can do that are faint!" Mo Chenghuan laughed.
"What about fainting for you? Dongtianji's attitude changed very quickly, the first moment he was still full of sadness, and the next moment he was full of affection.
Mo Chenghuan stopped the topic with satisfaction, and concentrated on eating the walnuts peeled by Dongtianji.
"Master," it happened that at this time, Jinsu and Minglan came back.
"Done?" Mo Chenghuan stood up happily and greeted him.
"Okay, I also specially made a pot of tea, for fear that the sugar lotus root would greasy the master," Jin Su said and had already placed the refreshments.
"It's still your caring," Mo Chenghuan couldn't help but praise Jin Su.
"The girl in your yard also followed your cleverness," Dong Tianji took advantage of Mo Chenghuan's inattention and put the peeled walnut kernels into his mouth.
"That's mine!" unexpectedly, Mo Chenghuan, who happened to turn around, was caught squarely.
West City Gate
Wen Bao, who was the inner supervisor last night, came to Luoxin Hall and asked He Qingxue to come to the West City Gate at noon today.
He Qingxue recognized this Wen Baolai, who was on an errand under Luo Zhiqi, she was a little suspicious and didn't dare to believe it easily, but he said that it was related to He Chong at this time, she and He Chong have a deep relationship with brothers and sisters, how could she ignore it, although it was a bit risky, but it was about He Chong, she was still willing to give it a try.
At noon, she set out to the West City Gate, and waited in a small pavilion near the West City Gate, she did not know what she was waiting for, nor did she know what the result would be in the future, and the time passed bit by bit, and every moment made her heart burn.
Finally, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Forsythia screamed, which calmed He Qingxue's panic.
"It's Childe!" Forsythia screamed as she pointed to a man walking towards them.
He Qingxue looked in the direction pointed by Forsythia, and the person who came was indeed He Chong.
"Brother!" He Qingxue rushed towards He Chong in ecstasy.
"Little sister!" He Chong was also overjoyed.
"Why is my brother here?" He Qingxue saw He Chong's performance, obviously He Chong knew in advance that he would meet her.
"It was Mo Yuxiu who arranged for you and me to meet," He Chong and He Qingxue have always had a deep relationship, and it is natural that they will tell the truth.
"Mo Chenghuan, brother, when did you become so familiar with her?" As far as she knew, He Chong had usually crossed paths with Mo Chenghuan in the martial arts training ground, and he had no personal relationships on weekdays, and even the last time they met, they seemed to be unhappy.
"Brother Wei came this time to explain this matter to you, let's sit down and talk. He Chong introduced He Qingxue into the pavilion and sat down.
"Little sister, you have always known my thoughts, I He Chong is dedicated to the country, and the only ideal in my life is to save the country and let Canglei be rescued from the difficult situation of this matter......" Speaking of this, He Chong glanced at He Qingxue.
"My brother has always had firm ideals and ambitions," He Qingxue understands He Chong's temperament and has always supported it.
"For many years, I have not been able to do anything because of the chaotic situation in the DPRK and China, and I am not willing to join forces with these secular officials in the DPRK and China who only care about their own interests, ignore the suffering of the people, and ignore the rise and fall of the country. Speaking of the desolation and sorrow of the past, He Chong was full of grief.
"But now it's different, I, He Chong, have finally waited for the opportunity to show my ambitions!" He Chong's previous grief and indignation were swept away, replaced by a firm will like a rainbow.
"But......" He Qingxue can understand He Chong's ambition to serve the country wholeheartedly, but she is also afraid that He Chong will repeat the mistakes of the past, and Sima Kun exonerated him last time, but luck will always run out one day, she is afraid that He Chong will make a mistake again, and he will never recover.
"Little sister don't have to panic, this time Brother Wei will definitely not be as reckless as before, Brother Wei is not alone this time," He Chong has that confidence, they will definitely get what they want.
"Isn't it this king who cooperates with my brother?" He Qingxue has always had a good impression of this Mo family, especially Mo Chenghuan, who dares to act and is intelligent, and has always been a person she respects when she is outside the palace, if her brother is really with such a person, her heart can be much more stable.
"Not only that, we have a larger team, so Brother Wei is here this time to invite you to work together for the bright future of our country!" He Chong is as dazzling as the rising sun.
"My brother has made up his mind, and as a little sister, he naturally goes all out. She believes and supports all of He Chong's decisions.
"Okay! I have a sister who has died so without regrets!"
After He Qingxue and He Chong met, they returned to the dormitory as if nothing happened, and the second night ushered in the East Tianji, which had not been seen for a long time, and was crowned as the sixth grade Changxuan on the second day.
The rewards of various palaces and courtyards have arrived one after another, and the ones that change are all gold, silver, and silk, but this Mo Chenghuan is different, and he personally sent some precious medicinal materials to replenish his body.
"Congratulations to He Changxuan!" Mo Chenghuan smiled flatteringly.
"Mo Yuxiu is polite!" He Qingxue knew that this Chang Xuan was asked by Mo Chenghuan from Dongtianji, she should have treated her politely and thanked her, but she thought of He Chong's explanation, and she couldn't be too familiar with Mo Chenghuan at this time, so she immediately replied coldly with a straight face.
Mo Chenghuan's smile froze for a moment, and then continued to flatter: "I know that He Changxuan has recently won the emperor's favor, and specially asked people to pick a few tonic pills and send them over. ”
"Thank you Mo Yuxiu for your care, but when it comes to holy grace, the person who crowns the harem should be Mo Yuxiu, my little Chang Xuan, how dare I claim that the holy grace is strong in front of you, and it should be Mo Yuxiu who takes good care of his body and is the heir of the emperor," He Qingxue deliberately spoke with thorns.
"Since you know that you are just a Chang Xuan, you should speak well, my master is polite to you, why are you so ignorant!" Ning Xiang stood aside and couldn't listen anymore, it can be seen that He Qingxue's words are really ugly.
"The master speaks, which round will get you a minion to interject!" Mo Chenghuan squinted his eyes and crossed his eyebrows, scolded Ning Xiang angrily, and then turned his head to apologize to He Qingxue: "The people below are used to being arrogant by me, and I often declare that I don't want to be strange." ”
"What your palace maid said is not wrong, I don't know how to lift, but I also know that there is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, you are good to me, you must have asked me, since you have asked me, why do I need to be polite to you, Mo Yuxiu, you don't have to go around in circles, what do you have to say." He Qingxue couldn't bear Mo Chenghuan like this, but she also knew that everything was based on the overall situation, and Mo Chenghuan would never think that she would ruin the entire plan for the sake of personal feelings.
Although she was rude at this time, she must be able to understand Mo Chenghuan's words, take 10,000 steps back, even if Mo Chenghuan can't understand it at this time, after the wind and waves are calm, she will come to the door to apologize, and Mo Chenghuan, who is so sensible, will definitely be able to understand.
"Since He Changxuan doesn't like to detour around the bend, then I will make it clear, I am like this to Chang Xuan, I just want to ask for one thing, Brother Xuan is in the limelight recently, everyone knows it, my father has the heart to let Chang Xuan's brother join the Mo family's army, my father can promise, as long as Brother Chang Xuan is willing, my father will be awarded the position of general, I can also guarantee that I will help Chang Xuan fly to the high branch of the sycamore, and hope to change the daily Xuan When I meet my brother, I can say a few good words for my father," Mo Chenghuan counted the conditions and requirements to He Qingxue one by one.
"Yuxiu should take care of yourself first, but Yuxiu, what kind of wild words are you talking about here, what are you talking about the high branches of the sycamore, I have the ability to fly up early, why do you make such empty promises to my master!" Forsythia glanced at Mo Chenghuan contemptuously, disdainful.
"What kind of thing are you! Dare to judge my master! If it weren't for my master who said good things in front of the emperor, how could you have the scenery of your master today!" Ning Xiang endured and endured on the side, and when she heard Forsythia slandering Mo Chenghuan like this, anger came from it, and then she couldn't hold back her indignation and spoke against it.
"What kind of nonsense are you saying, my master is favored by the emperor today, it is because my master is good-looking! What is the matter with your master, what credit are you taking here!" Forsythia does not understand the secret of this, and naturally exports mercilessly.
"Shut up!!" Mo and He scolded in unison.
He Qingxue glanced at Mo Chenghuan, felt ashamed, and turned her face away from evasion, giving Mo Chenghuan the right to speak first.
"When I don't exist, hasn't anyone taught you the rules? I don't know how to be polite!, little Hengzi, lead him down and beat her twenty mouths, see if she dares to be so bold and reckless!" Mo Chenghuan actually didn't mean to blame Ning Xiang, on the contrary, she still wanted to praise Ning Xiang, if she wasn't there, this scene would not have been so vivid, and she also brought her over because Ning Xiang had always been impulsive, if not, she would definitely bring Ling Xue and Jinsu, who were calmer.
"It's the master!" Fu Yuheng has always been extremely smart, and immediately understood the meaning of Mo Chenghuan's words, and quickly took Ning Xiang out.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand Mo Chenghuan's meaning, with Mo Chenghuan's temperament, if he is really angry, he can immediately get up and hit Ning Xiang with a backhand, but Mo Chenghuan asked him to take Ning Xiang out, proving that she was not angry, but she had to get angry because of her face, so she let him take Ning Xiang out, and did not let him really punish Ning Xiang.
"Forsythia, you step back for me! Shame on me! Others don't know how to mix with you, be careful that I tear your mouth!" He Qingxue was ashamed, but she could also understand Forsythia's heart for her sake, it was not easy to punish, so she made a decision to let Forsythia leave the scene first.
"The subordinate is not sensible, I will discipline it well!" He Qingxue felt guilty in her heart, and she had no choice but to apologize to Mo Chenghuan, she was so anxious that she almost went crazy, but fortunately she could bear it and continued to act.
Mo Chenghuan smiled, looking like an adult with a large number of people, and smiled calmly: "My slave is at fault first, He Changxuan has a lot of adults, don't worry about her." ”
"The slave is not sensible, so let's do it, if I am the master, I really have to deal with her, how is it different from the slave?" He Qingxue was arrogant and indifferent on the surface, and she couldn't wait to kowtow to Mo Chenghuan immediately to apologize.
"He Changxuan is broad-minded, this is natural, by the way, they have just made such a fuss, He Changxuan has not been able to give an answer, I don't know how He Changxuan thinks about it, in fact, Chang Xuan doesn't have to give an answer immediately, I can give Chang Xuan some time," Mo Chenghuan said with a flattering face, and said respectfully to He Qingxue.
"Don't think about it!" As soon as Mo Chenghuan's words fell, He Qingxue continued.
"That Chang Xuan means ......" Mo Chenghuan showed a hopeful expression.
"I won't agree, who do I want to listen to, who I believe, that's my brother's own idea, I, as a sister, will not and shouldn't make a hasty decision for him without authorization, I advise Yuxiu, or don't waste any more effort on me," He Qingxue stood up as she spoke.
She had to end this meeting, otherwise she would commit suicide in front of Mo Chenghuan in shame.
"Chang Xuan ......" Mo Chenghuan showed his willingness to stay.
"Send off!" He Qingxue didn't give Mo Chenghuan a chance to speak, and resolutely issued an order to expel guests.
In this way, Mo Chenghuan and others were forcibly driven out.
"This He Changxuan seems to be gentle and gentle, how can he be so barbaric!" Yuliu, who was standing beside Mo Chenghuan and saw Mo Chenghuan angry, said angrily.
"That's it, our master spoke to her politely, she was so-for-tat, there was no one in her eyes!"
"This He Qingxue is simply lawless! It's a shame that the master helped her so much! It's really ungrateful!" Ning Xiang was already angry, and when she saw Mo Chenghuan being driven out, she was even more angry.
"You don't talk more, go back and scold, this is someone else's territory, be careful that people hear it, let the Criminal Procuratorate arrest you and pull out your tongue!" The minions were indignant, but Mo Chenghuan was alone.
As soon as the little eunuch of Xiao Gong'e heard the words "pull out the tongue", he hurriedly silenced, only this Ning Xiang still did not give up: "If she has the ability, she will call it! I don't believe it, she has the final say on this palace rule alone! Master, why don't you squeak, in the past, someone dared to talk to you like this, you went to break his neck in the morning, why are you so today?!"
"This is in the palace, you don't have to go outside, put it outside, who dares to say nothing to me Mo Chenghuan," Mo Chenghuan saw that Ning Xiang was so impassioned, and he couldn't help but say something majestic.
"That's it, don't say that she is a little Chang Xuan, now that Concubine Qiong has seen our master, she has to be polite, what is she who dares to speak to our master like this!" Ning Xiang saw that Mo Chenghuan agreed, and her speech began to lose control.
"Okay, I said that you can't scold the master like this, do you have a long heart?!Just scold two sentences to get angry, you don't have to be endless, you must know how to control your mouth in this palace, don't cover it all day long, if you are not facing He Qingxue today, it is Concubine Jing, you just inserted the master's mouth, this crime is enough for you to stay in the court for a lifetime!"
"The slave knows her mistake, there will be no next time," Ning Xiang saw that Mo Chenghuan was really annoyed, and she didn't dare to say anything more and shut up obediently.
Mo Chenghuan saw Ning Xiang and knew how to advance and retreat, so he didn't say much.
Ruihua Palace
"Hahaha, it's really happy! It's so happy!" Sima Yi was very happy when she heard that Mo Chenghuan had eaten a closed door at He Qingxue's place.
She Mo Chenghuan thought that she could eat her set anywhere, but she didn't expect He Qingxue to be salt and rice, "Xiao Ru didn't expect that even Mo Chenghuan would suffer a loss at He Qingxue.
"In this way, Mo Chenghuan's Chang Xuan is in vain, Mo Chenghuan was in the limelight for a while, and today he also suffered a dumb loss, no matter what, this He Qingxue has a bad breath for me," Sima Yi couldn't help Mo Chenghuan, and he didn't dare to make a move, and today he saw Mo Chenghuan planting a big heel at He Qingxue, and he was happy in his heart.
"By the way, Fang Ping, what's wrong with what I asked you to do?" Seeing that Mo Chenghuan had no hope, then their hope came.
"It's been arranged, you can rest assured of everything," Fang Ping didn't dare to slack off when she explained everything to Sima Yi.
"Okay, I believe that she will not be able to refuse the conditions I offered!" Sima Yi smiled proudly.
Lohin Hall
He Qingxue was annoyed by Mo Chenghuan's incident today, and Forsythia and others were counting the rewards in each palace and courtyard.
"Master!" Hui Lan seemed to have found something important, and hurriedly asked He Qingxue to come over.
He Qingxue walked over and found that in a small box, in addition to gold and silver jewelry, there was also an extra letter.
He Qingxue picked it up and opened it to take a look, and there was not much content, just one sentence: I will fight you as a concubine.
"It's okay with all of you," He Qingxue folded the letter, turned around and threw it into the charcoal stove.
He Qingxue didn't need to ask to know that this condition must have been instructed by Sima Yi, which was indeed very tempting, but unfortunately, it couldn't tempt her.
