Chapter 14: Deepening Friendship

A few days later, as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Yanjing began to usher in the first cold wind since the beginning of autumn this year, this year's temperature dropped a little faster than in previous years, and it had not rained yet, and the cold wind could not wait to blow off the autumn leaves.

In recent days, the sky has always been overcast, and the rain is about to fall and slow to fall, which is worrying.

Mo Chenghuan has been asking Ning Xiang to observe Qi Yu's movements for the past few days, and after waiting for a few days, Ning Xiang finally kept the letter from Xue Shizhang to Qi Yu a little in, Ning Xiang understood Mo Chenghuan's intentions, and as soon as she saw the situation, she immediately came back to report to Mo Chenghuan.

As soon as he heard the news, Mo Chenghuan immediately rushed to the Liuyan Palace.

As soon as Qi Yu put down the letter, he was startled when he heard the news of Mo Chenghuan's visit, and quickly put away the letter and welcomed Mo Cheng in.

"Why do you have time to come here today," Qi Yu was a little suspicious, and his face was not very good-looking.

"I'm always available to come to you," Mo Chenghuan joked at Qi Yu with a hippie smile, and stopped joking when he saw that Qi Yu's face was not very good halfway through: "I'll come over today if I have something." ”

Qi Yu knew at a glance that Mo Chenghuan had something to discuss with her, so he waved his hand and asked Huanchun and Hongmei to lead people to withdraw.

"What's the matter?" Qi Yu thought that Mo Chenghuan had encountered a big event, and hurriedly asked with a smile.

"Didn't you say you wanted to help Zheng Lingzhi a few days ago? Two days ago, I suddenly remembered, and I thought that there was nothing to do anyway, so it was better to arrange it," Mo Chenghuan felt that asking too directly would scare Qi Yu, so he found an excuse for Qi Yu to relax his nervousness first.

"There's no hurry at this time," she was anxious about now, something else.

"Then you know that everyone has been trying to win over He Chong recently," this matter has caused a storm in the city, and no matter who or how much it is, it should receive some rumors.

At the mention of He Chong, Qi Yu's expression froze for a moment, but she didn't dare to show her displeasure too much in front of Mo Chenghuan, so she could only pretend to be casual and replied: "I know." ”

"I wanted to ask the emperor for He Qingxue, so I wanted to ask Zheng Lingzhi and Wan'er by the way," Mo Chenghuan noticed Qi Yu's unnaturalness at the beginning, but she didn't dare to ask more, for fear that she would feel embarrassed if she didn't bother to touch Qi Yu.

Qi Yu, who had been walking for a while, forgot to respond to Mo Chenghuan.

Mo Chenghuan couldn't bear to see Qi Yu so embarrassed, but at this time, the stakes were very important, and he had to continue like this.

"Did you receive the letter today?" Mo Chenghuan couldn't find any other excuse, and felt that the long pain was better than the short pain, explaining the intention.

"Why are you ......" Qi Yu was surprised for a moment and quickly reacted, if this Mo Chenghuan didn't even have this ability, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to go today.

"I calculated that Prime Minister Xue Cheng should not be able to hold his breath, so I sent someone to guard outside your palace for a few days," Mo Chenghuan didn't dare to hide it, for fear of unnecessary misunderstandings.

Qi Yu knew Mo Chenghuan's intention, so he was even more at a loss, and simply remained silent.

"Let me know what's on the letter. Now that she has spread out her words, she is not afraid to tell her true intentions.

"This ......" Qi Qi was about to say and stopped.

"Don't worry, I just want to know Prime Minister Xue's intentions, as long as the content of the letter has nothing to do with me, I will never do anything unfavorable to Prime Minister, I and Prime Minister Xue have the same goal at this time, and I am not enemies with Prime Minister at this time," Mo Chenghuan couldn't tell the real relationship between her and Xue Shizhang, but vaguely used the phrase "not an enemy" to describe her relationship with Xue Shizhang.

Qi Yu lowered his head to avoid Mo Chenghuan's stolen gaze, and turned around: "Let me think about it." ”

"I want to help the prime minister," Mo Chenghuan had to reveal his heart.

"Why?" It stands to reason that Mo Chenghuan is a royalist, but Xue Shizhang is not, why should Mo Chenghuan help Xue Shizhang for no reason.

"I'll tell you the truth, we have always been very jealous of Xue Shijing, and we have always wanted to find an opportunity to make Xue Shijing suffer some losses, but we have been suffering from no good time, but recently, we got the news that Prime Minister Xue Cheng seems to have a political disagreement with his younger brother, so we want to talk about cooperation with Prime Minister Xue through you," Mo Chenghuan told Qi Yu a big lie with a clear conscience, and he was naturally unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't show it, which was really sad.

"Are you serious?" Even if Qi Yu believed Mo Chenghuan again, he didn't dare to joke about Dongtianji.

"I really want to help the prime minister, if I have other intentions, the sky will thunder," Mo Chenghuan was full of resentment in his chest, eager to explain all the truth to Qi Yu one by one, but just as Qi Yu didn't dare to risk believing her, she didn't dare to joke about Dong Tianji's hard work in the past ten years, even if she knew that Qi Yu was also a person from Dong Tianji, then since Dong Tianji didn't let them show each other, it must have his intentions, they just had to do it.

"I believe in you," Bi Qi said, taking the letter from his closet.

Mo Chenghuan opened the letter and saw that the content on it was the same as what she asked He Chong to relay, and Mo Chenghuan returned it to Qi Yu after reading it.

"You just have to look for it, don't be too careful, it's best to let Sima Yi's people follow, when you see Luo Zhiqi, say that Xue Shijing asked him, don't entangle with him, and then hand him a letter, the content of which says: 'No matter how you want to help take He Chong', don't have too many words, it's easy to help on the spot, it's better to let Hongmei go, let her dress up, don't let Luo Zhiqi recognize it." Mo Chenghuan's mind was running fast, and he temporarily came up with a corresponding strategy.

"Why do you want Sima Yi's people to follow?" Qi Yu couldn't understand Mo Chenghuan's arrangement.

"Because Sima Yi is the weapon we use to deal with Xue Shijing," Mo Chenghuan smiled confidently.

"You have long been in contact with Prime Minister Xue Cheng?" No matter how Mo Chenghuan tried to hide it, Qi Yu still saw the clues, because only those who knew the inside story of the Xue family would distinguish Xue Shizhang and Xue Shijing so clearly.

Mo Chenghuan was stunned, and looked at Qi Yu in embarrassment: "I can't tell you." ”

"Do you also know Xue Yuanshan's true identity?" The more Qi Yu thought about it, the more wrong it became, thinking of the unusual relationship between Dongtianji and her, it immediately made her understand that Mo Chenghuan definitely didn't know much less than herself, and even much more than she knew.

Mo Chenghuan pursed his lips, raised his head seriously and looked at Qi Yu's eyes and asked, "I know or don't know, what's the difference between you?"

"It's inconvenient for me to explain to you at this time," Mo Chenghuan didn't want to tell Qi Yu everything, but she didn't dare to go against Dongtianji's wishes.

"I know," the brilliance in Qi Yu's eyes disappeared, and he replied weakly.

"I'm sorry, I'll go back first," Mo Chenghuan didn't dare to face Qi Yu anymore, and hurriedly fled from the Flowing Smoke Palace.

After Mo Chenghuan returned to the courtyard, he was depressed all the time, and he couldn't get interested in doing anything, so he simply locked himself in the room and didn't want to go out.

The next day, Huanchun from Liuyan Palace came over to inform Mo Chenghuan that Qi Yu had already laid the groundwork.

Mo Chenghuan's spirit is not good, but when the news comes, she can't continue to languish, no matter what, everything is still focused on big things.

"Jinsu, come here," Mo Chenghuan wanted to gamble this time, even if she lost, she could find a way to make up for it.

Jin Su stepped forward, and Mo Chenghuan explained her plan to Jin Su.

"The slave maid understands," Jin Su really scared her when she heard that Mo Chenghuan handed over such an important matter to her, since she followed Mo Chenghuan, she had never given such an important matter to her.

"Go ahead," Jin Su has been with her for a year, as she said, the people around her are to make sure that they can be fully trusted, and she is now taking this opportunity to give this Jin Su a final try, and if she finds something wrong, she will take the opportunity to kick it away, so as not to leave hidden dangers.

After Jin Su withdrew, Ling Xue walked in.

"Master, can I ask what you said to Concubine Qiong when you went to Liuyan Palace yesterday?" Mo Chenghuan has been in a bad situation since he came back from Liuyan Palace yesterday, even the last time she quarreled with the emperor, she had never seen Mo Chenghuan show such a depressed mood.

"In short, it's just unhappy, ...... specifically" Mo Chenghuan didn't want to say it, but didn't know where to start: "I can't say it clearly, I always feel that I seem to have done something wrong, but I don't know how to redeem it, I'm afraid that Qi Yu will hate me." ”

"The master is good to Concubine Qiong, Concubine Qiong will not feel it, I believe that Concubine Qiong also knows the master's embarrassment, so the master doesn't have to worry too much," Ling Xue could see that Qi Yu was not the kind of person who repaid virtue with grievances and was ungrateful.

"I'm just afraid that she will misunderstand me, and I'm afraid that she will cut off my hard-won relationship. The more Mo Chenghuan was afraid, the more he didn't dare to think about anything.

"No, the master has to believe in Concubine Qiong but believe in it, the master will come to the door to apologize another day, Concubine Qiong is not an unreasonable person, she can feel the sincerity of the master, as long as you take out a sincere heart to face Concubine Qiong, Concubine Qiong is not the kind of person with a small belly," In her opinion, such a trivial matter does not need to be so laborious, but this Mo Chenghuan is smart, confused for a while, and can't distinguish right from wrong in the bureau, often at this time, it is necessary for them to be slaves to clear the fog for the masters.

"Ling Xue! You're right! As long as I apologize well, she will definitely accept it!" Mo Chenghuan suddenly jumped up excitedly and just held Ling Xue's hand.

"Don't wait for another day, I'll go over now, come and change my clothes for me, I'm going to Liuyan Palace!" Mo Chenghuan listened to Ling Xue's words, and suddenly realized that if she really wanted to keep her relationship with Qi Yu, then she couldn't escape, even if she really didn't know her way in the end, at least she worked hard, even if it was unsatisfactory in the end, then at least she didn't leave any regrets.

Ling Xue shook her head, reluctantly went to get new clothes for Mo Chenghuan, changed clothes for Mo Chenghuan, prepared a sedan chair, and followed Mo Chenghuan to Liuyan Palace, but she didn't expect to meet the team of Liuyan Palace halfway.

Mo Chenghuan and Qi Yu got down from the sedan chair in surprise.

"I'm just about to look for you!" Qi Yu came up and took the initiative to hold Mo Chenghuan's hand.

"Let's talk to the side," Mo Chenghuan was also very surprised to see Qi Yu, and when he heard that Qi Yu was about to go to her, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and wanted Qi Yu to tell his heart.

The two of them left their attendants and sat down in a small pavilion.

"I went back and thought about it for a long time, and now I am still determined to apologize to you, I am just afraid that you will resent me and hate me, so I dare not face you, now I understand, it is I who think things too complicated, whether you resent me or not, I should find you to understand. ”

"It's not good for me to hide some things from you, but you can understand it, right, there are some things that we can't help ourselves, but no matter what, my friendship with you is true, I am willing to do my best to keep this friendship, I have lost Shengxi, I can't lose you again," If Qi Yu had a gap with her because of this matter, then she would not even have a person to speak to in the palace, what a sad thing.

Qi Yu listened carefully to Mo Chenghuan's sincere words, and before Mo Chenghuan finished speaking, she was already in tears.

"I know, I know, that's why I came to you, I thank you for every word you say to me, I can feel that these are sincere, you have done so much for me, I have never done anything for you, you treat me like this, how can I be willing to abandon your affection," to put it sincerely, if Mo Chenghuan didn't say this to her today, she could also understand, because it was related to the future of Canglei, although Mo Chenghuan hid something from her, she never completely confessed to Mo Chenghuan.

And the fault is not entirely Mo Chenghuan, as Mo Chenghuan said, it is all a last resort, what reason does she have to resent Mo Chenghuan.

Now that Mo Chenghuan is still willing to have a heart-to-heart relationship with her, she should not have any resentment towards Mo Chenghuan because of Mo Chenghuan's friendship with her.

As the friendship spoke, Mo Chenghuan was already crying.

"Okay, I'm going to let the minions see the jokes, crying, they still think I'm bullying you," Qi Yu couldn't care about his already crying face, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears for Mo Chenghuan.

"As long as you don't say that you will break off with me, you can say anything," Mo Chenghuan is like a heroic female general in charge of other things, but when it comes to emotion, she will become a very little girl, and it is probably the fundamental reason why she has made few friends since she was a child, and the more lonely people are, the more afraid of loneliness.

"What kind of stupid thing to say, who am I going to break off with you, and I am reluctant to break off with you," Qi Yu was angry and funny, and he didn't know what to do with Mo Chenghuan at this time.

"Is this true?" Hearing Qi Yu say this, Mo Chenghuan felt as if he had received a promise that he would never repent.

"Lie to no one and don't lie to you," Qi Yu found that she liked Mo Chenghuan more, no longer because Mo Chenghuan was similar to Dongtianji, but on the contrary, she began to discover the difference between Mo Chenghuan and Dongtianji, but it was because of this difference that she fell in love with this feeling deeply, and from then on Mo Chenghuan was the closest person in her life, and she was willing to use her life to protect this rare friendship with Mo Chenghuan.
