The lunch was sumptuous, almost all of which were Zhao Mo's favorite dishes when he was in the third room of the Qin family.

Zhao Mo buried his head in eating happily, and Niu also persuaded him to eat more from time to time, and asked people to scoop soup for him: "I specially instructed the people in the kitchen to stew it for you, it is the most moist and nourishing, and it is the best to drink in this season." Poor people, it's only been half a month's work, how did you lose weight? People are also a lot darker, so it can be seen that they are tired from running around outside, and they have endured all the hardships. Now that I can take a breath, I need to eat more to replenish my vitality. ”

Zhao Mo smiled at her well-behaved: "Uncle and Grandma Xie, in fact, I'm not tired, it's just that it's better to eat comfortably at home when I'm outside, and I always miss my aunt's good soup and good dishes." ”

Niu said lovingly: "Since you like it, come to the house more often, and eat more good soup and vegetables from your uncle and grandmother to nourish your body." Where can the food outside be compared with the food at home? Even the chef of the Liao Wangfu is not as good as the cook of our family. She was thinking about whether to send a cook to Zhao Mo. But thinking of the dishes made by the cook at home, Qin Bai and Qin Hanzhen also love to eat, and she is a little reluctant.

How could Zhao Mo want the cook of Yongjiahou Mansion? With the cook as an excuse, it is more justifiable for him to come to the door to eat. He smiled and said to Niu: "As long as my uncle and grandmother don't dislike it, I will come over every day as long as I am in Beijing in the future." ”

Niu Shi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Okay, okay, you just have to come, I'll let them cook your favorite dishes for you every day." She gave Zhao Mo another chopstick dish, and when she was done, she sighed, "How old are you? The emperor in the palace also called you too ruthlessly. There are so many great men in the court, who can't send them? I want to make you so hard. ”

Qin Bai said disapprovingly: "Madame's words are important. The emperor values Guanglu, which is the blessing of Guanglu. At his age, it is time for him to have more experience, to do more things, and with experience, he can take on heavier responsibilities in the future. If they are just greedy for comfort and pleasure, some of the idle clan disciples in the capital have, and apart from the name of a clan, what good reputation and good future do they have? If Guanglu spends his days like them, spending all day drinking and idle, his life will be easy, but what is the difference between that and wine bags and rice bags?"

Niu Shi said angrily: "I'm just feeling sorry for the child, but I provoked you to make such a big call." You men always want to make achievements, but I just want the children to be safe and happy. I can't make sense of you, I'll tell my granddaughter to go. After speaking, he asked Qin Hanzhen, "Did you say that grandmother was right?"

Qin Hanzhen could only laugh dryly, at this time, whoever stood on the team was thankless. Grandparents and old people play tricks, and juniors don't get involved.

Zhao Mo immersed himself in concentrating on eating, peeking at Qin Hanzhen from time to time, and he was also very interested in not participating in the quarrel between Qin Bai and the second elder of the Niu family.

After eating, Zhao Mo thought about going to Dongfu to find Qin Jian to talk, but he was reluctant to leave Qin Hanzhen like this, so he planned to kidnap her to the garden, take a walk after dinner, and then go to find Qin Jian's excuse together, and then deal with Qin Han's truth for a while.

But before he could speak, Qin Bai spoke first: "Guanglu come to the study with me, I have something to say to you." Zhao Mo had no choice but to say goodbye to the Niu family and Qin Hanzhen and go with Qin Bai.

Qin Hanzhen looked at the back of him leaving, feeling a little reluctant, she actually wanted to talk to him for a while. He has an errand now, and if he leaves today, he doesn't know how many days he will be able to stay in the capital, and how long it will take him to come back.

I don't know what my grandfather is going to say when he goes to Zhao Mo? Could it be that he wants to ask Zhao Mo about his recent mission? Grandfather Qin Bai has already learned some inside information from the emperor, and maybe he is also worried in his heart.

Qin Hanzhen guessed correctly, Qin Bai called Zhao Mo to the study and retreated, just to ask him about investigating King Ninghua. Qin Bai heard some news from the emperor and the crown prince, although it was not comprehensive, but it was enough to make people frightened. At this time, after Zhao Mo entered and exited the palace, he disappeared in the capital, and returned many days later, dressed in dust. Qin Bai is not stupid, how could he not guess what he was doing? Moreover, according to what the emperor said, Zhao Shuo, the son of the Liao king, was also suspected of being involved in the case, and Zhao Mo wanted to clear his suspicion and atone for his biological father, and he must have to make a contribution. Since Zhao Mo was an insider, Qin Bai asked him about the situation.

Zhao Mo didn't know how much Qin Bai knew, he first asked the emperor and the crown prince what they had said, and then he carefully said some of the information he had investigated, but there was nothing that the emperor and the prince strictly ordered him not to disclose. Even cousin Qin Hanzhen doesn't know those contents.

But just these situations revealed by Zhao Mo, Qin Bai was already shocked when he heard it. He looked at Zhao Mo, shook his head again and again and sighed: "How unwise is your father?!" He has no hope at all, why does he have to go to a dead end? He doesn't have to do anything, he can already sit firmly on the throne of the prince of Liao, and no one else will take away his title of King of Liao in the future. Why did he bother to get into this muddy water? If he succeeded, he wouldn't have gained much more than he did now. But when he failed, he didn't even have any hope of turning over. What the hell is he trying to do?!"

Zhao Mo lowered his head: "I don't know what he's trying to do, maybe ...... He is still nostalgic for the glorious days of the past, and wants to regain power. ”

Qin Bai shook his head: "What kind of scenery was he in the past? It's just that he was willing to be at the mercy of the Wang family through the emperor's holy family, and was deceived by false lies, thinking that he had really gained a position of power." If he really knows that he has taken the wrong path and has the heart to change his ways and regain the emperor's forgiveness, then he should be honest and let the emperor see his benefits, instead of playing crooked ideas and doing disloyal and unkind acts. ”

Zhao Mo didn't speak. In front of Qin Bai, he is not as comfortable as in front of Qin Hanzhen, he still has to be careful when he speaks, not he can say anything. What Qin Han really doesn't care about, Qin Bai may not care.

Qin Bai didn't say anything more, just gently reassured Zhao Mo and said, "Don't worry, the marriage in the Zhenxi Hou Mansion is just wishful thinking between your father and the Zhenxi Hou, and the emperor will not agree." You are now in the heart of the emperor, and the emperor is planning to keep you for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can he tolerate others to manipulate your life's affairs?"

Zhao Mo froze, uncomfortable: "Uncle and grandfather...... Have you heard?" he didn't want Qin Bai to know......

"Naturally, I heard about it, the emperor told me. Qin Bai said casually, "The prince is very angry, and the emperor also feels very unkind." Your father is becoming more and more confused now, and the Marquis of Zhenxi is also old and confused, not to mention dealing with the prince of the clan domain, he is still dissatisfied with the royal family. The emperor's kindness and compassion have all let him down!"

At the mention of Zhenxi Hou Mansion, Qin Bai couldn't help but sigh. The eldest sister-in-law of the long house, the Xu family, chose such a family affair for her only daughter-in-law, who knew that everything changed after passing the door, and the mother-in-law said sternly that in the end, Qin Youyi and his wife were affectionate, and there were no concubines who poked people's hearts, but they had less contact with their parents. But if Zhenxihou is suspected of rebellion, this will be troublesome. Conspiracy against the enemy is a heinous felony, and Qin Youyi's family of four is innocently affected, and it is not too pitiful to lose their lives? Thinking of this, Qin Bai became more and more disgusted with Zhenxi Hou's stupidity, disloyalty and unkindness.

Zhao Mo hesitated for a moment, and then told Qin Bai that the husband and wife of Zhenxi Hou did not agree with Zhenxi Hou's choice in the marriage of their eldest daughter, and said: "Mrs. Zhenxi Hou Shizi should be in love with Brother Jian, and she has always been enthusiastic about making friends with Changfang. Listening to her tone, it seems that the two of them have already reached a consensus, and they are not of the same mind as Zhenxihou. But Zhenxi Hou is used to being domineering at home, and his son may not be able to beat him. This marriage is a trouble for Brother Jian, and it is better to avoid it if you can avoid it. Now that you have to worry about Qin's second aunt, grandmother, mother and son, it is enough to give your uncle and grandfather a headache, so why bother asking Changfang to add another layer of entanglement with the Su family?"

Qin Bai was suddenly solemn: "I don't know about this." In fact, Brother Jian's age should have made up his mind a long time ago. His grandmother and mother all hoped that he would be admitted to the Jinshi and that he would be able to speak to a higher rank when he said he was married. But in fact, when husband and wife get along, family history and power are secondary, the most important thing is that the daughter-in-law has a good temperament and the two children can get along. I will persuade my eldest sister-in-law to tell Brother Jian a kiss as soon as possible. Even if you can't say it right away, look at it first. If someone comes to the door to talk about the Su family's family affairs, there is an excuse to refuse. ”

But the troubles of Su Zhongying and Qin Youyi were not so easy to solve. Once Zhenxihou is convicted of rebellion, the whole family will not be able to escape. Unless Su Zhongying divorces his wife, Qin Youyi will definitely be implicated. But even if he divorced his wife, it was impossible for Qin Youyi's two sons to be divorced with their mother. Their family of four was really innocent, and Qin Bai couldn't bear to watch them suffer. In the case of King Ninghua, we still have to think of a way. It is always necessary to stop Zhenxihou from going to the road of death, and he will be involved in the whole family.

Zhao Mo said: "If the brothers of the Su family can make meritorious contributions and kill their relatives with righteousness, they can naturally save their lives." But I can't tell them about this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to save people, but I will startle the snake. After all, no one knows whether Zhenxi Hou is determined to rebel. If he doesn't know how to act on the opportunity, he will not count the merits of the past decades. Others tried to save him, but they couldn't. ”

Qin Bai groaned, and after a long while, he said: "The emperor just mentioned the general situation to me, let me be on guard, don't unknowingly call someone to entangle." He doesn't want me to worry too much, but how can I rest assured? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my own nephew, and the East Palace and the Qin family are one honor and one loss. The thought of someone trying to calculate His Highness made me sleep, hoping to help. Although I am an old bone, I still have some money in my hands. If you have a place for me, Guanglu, you must not be polite, just talk to me. I just want to do my part for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Zhao Mo was a little surprised, and hesitated and said, "The emperor doesn't want his uncle and grandfather to worry too much......

Qin Bai waved his hand: "I didn't worry too much, I just did what I could." The prince matters. You are a child, and it has been less than five years since the opening of the palace, how many people and financial resources can you have? If you add our Yongjiahou Mansion, you can be much more relaxed. I'm also a little more connected than you. ”

Zhao Mo thought about it, and then said with a straight face: "Since Uncle and Grandpa said so, then I won't be polite to you." On the side of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi, it would be great if there was a way to hear some news. In addition, there is also the Shu region, what is the collusion between the Shu Wangfu and the Ninghua King? The King of Guangchang secretly went to Shuzhong the year before last, and is it related to this matter? My uncle and grandfather have relatives and friends in Shu, and if we can help inquire about one or two, it will be more convenient than us outsiders going to Shu to investigate. ”

Qin Bai smiled: "Okay, this matter is on me!"
