53. Above the castle tower
"Please listen to the question: sitting is also lying, standing is also lying, walking is also lying, lying is also lying, guessing a thing."
Tao Zhimo was about to ring the gong, but the gong in her hand was lifted, she turned around, and saw that it was taken away by Mo Wangnan, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "What's the matter?" ”
When she paused, she was answered by the fat boy next door, "I know, it's a snake!" ”
Tao Zhimo was a little angry, she knew it, but Mo Yunan pulled her up and left. In front of the public, she couldn't pull and pull with him, so she hurriedly dropped the hammer and left.
After getting out of the crowd, she hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" I'm three dolls away! ”
Mo Yunan pursed his lips, she didn't recognize the young man, but he did, he couldn't say that he couldn't say that he couldn't get used to her and the boy's eyebrows, after holding it for a while, he said coldly: "This is too boring, let's go somewhere else." ”
"Then you can wait for me to get three more dolls before leaving, okay?" Tao Zhimo turned around and turned back, walking for a while only to find that he hadn't followed. As soon as she looked back, she saw him standing in place with his arms crossed, just looking at her coldly.
There were many pedestrians around him, but they didn't dare to touch him, and when they passed by him, they only dared to sneak a glance at him.
Tao Zhimo shook his head, just let it go, just owe him in his previous life!
The two of them were walking side by side on the road when he suddenly said, "Give me one." ”
"What?" Tao Zhimo looked up at him.
He reached out and pointed to the doll in her hand.
"Don't!" Tao Zhimo immediately said, "This is mine!" "She is ready to say goodbye to Nangong one by one.
"You've got two." He said coldly, with a serious look, no one else could have imagined that he was just begging Tao Zhimo for a doll.
"I said no!" Tao Zhimo glared at him, "If you really want it, let's go back and have a few more pairs." ”
"I want this." He pointed to the female doll in her left hand. This female doll looks like her, extremely similar.
Tao Zhimo blinked, she just said don't be, right? Didn't ask him which one you wanted, did you? That, why is this person so thick-skinned!
"Did I tell you?" Tao Zhimo asked with wide eyes.
"Give it to me. I'll take you to see Jimo in the evening. He stretched out his hand and begged for it.
Tao Zhimo gritted his teeth, and after struggling for a while, he angrily put the doll in his hand.
He took it with a blank face, stuffed it into his arms without looking at it, and continued to walk forward on his long legs, his back as if he had obtained her doll openly.
This damn Mo Wangnan, Tao Zhimo scolded him thousands of times in his heart.
The two walked back and forth for a while, during which Mo Wangnan had the intention to slow down his pace and wait for her, but Tao Zhimo deliberately distanced himself from him.
There were people coming and going on the street, and Tao Zhimo's eyes were always attracted by the novelties on both sides, and when she withdrew her gaze from the painting stall, she looked forward and disappeared Mo Wangnan.
Tao Zhimo's heart sank suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pushed aside a few groups of people, but he didn't see Mo Wangnan. How could this be, she suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, where did Mo Wangnan run, he was born tall, no one could stop him, did he squat down? Or where did you go?
There was a lot of rubbing around, and I don't know who pushed her, she fell forward and fell into a warm and wide embrace.
Before she could raise her head, the man wrapped her in a cloak and shrouded her in a faint scent of mint. Tao Zhimo breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, as if the lost sense of security had suddenly returned. She put her hands on Mo Wangnan's chest, "Where did you go?" Even she didn't notice that her voice was much softer.
"Looking for you." He spoke, a faint breath sprinkled on her forehead, and reached out to gently help her gently brush the broken hair in front of her forehead, and he was almost about to take off her head flower and pluck her forehead hair back on, but he suddenly restrained himself.
Tao Zhimo lowered her head slightly, his body temperature had warmed her cold hands through the thin clothes, she seemed to be burned, and quickly withdrew her hand, the surrounding was bustling, Tao Zhimo felt a little breathless, "Let's go with fewer people, right?" As he spoke, he raised his head and pointed to the tower, "There are not so many people upstairs, let's go there!" ”
The two wanted to walk towards the city tower, but there were too many people around, and it was almost impossible to move an inch, especially when there was a strong man behind him who pushed him hard, Mo Weinan frowned, put one hand on Tao Zhimo's waist, and nudged the man, and the man immediately knelt down, and he put his foot on the man's shoulder and flew up.
After the man finally got up, the two of them had already disappeared, causing the man to shout and curse again and again.
"Be careful!" Tao Zhimo hurriedly grabbed him, and after a few starts, the two of them had already come to the city tower, he did not let go of her, but tightened her waist, and jumped up to the top of the city tower.
The city tower was already very high, and Tao Zhimo was so frightened that he didn't dare to open his eyes. After confirming the landing, she slowly opened her eyes, and in front of her, there was a bright yellow moon, which was a little unreal. A cold wind whistled behind her, raising her long hair.
Mo Wangnan finally let go of her, turned sideways, and looked at the bright moon in front of him with his hands behind his back.
At this time, there seemed to be a kind of loneliness in his body. When the wind blew, Tao Zhimo couldn't help but shudder, Mo Wangnan glanced at her sideways, untied the cloak on his body, and gently draped it on her.
Tao Zhimo didn't know what to say. This Mo Wangnan is sometimes so considerate that she ...... How to put it, she suddenly felt flattered.
But she was really cold, so she didn't refuse, but just held the cloak behind her with both hands. She was nowhere near as big as him, and she had to carry her cloak so that she wouldn't be dragged to the ground and dirty.
"It's beautiful." Tao Zhimo leaned lightly on the cold white jade railing, looking down at the dense crowd downstairs. The street scene is brightly lit on both sides, and the pedestrians in the street carry lanterns in their hands, like a little firefly, dotting this brilliantly lit city that never sleeps.
Mo Wangnan didn't speak, and silently came to her left side to block the cold wind blowing on her left.
The two stood quietly for a while, and Tao Zhimo suddenly frowned, "Don't forget Nan, what do you have to do with Nangong Ci?" ”
He was silent for a moment, his lips opening but not speaking.
Tao Zhimo turned his head to stare at him, "You are in front of him, can you speak?" ”
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Then," Tao Zhimo turned around, "How much do you know about the Mo family's case?" ”
Mo Wangnan suddenly became gloomy, turned around, and ignored him.
Tao Zhimo hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, "I beg you to help me." If you're willing to help me, why don't you help me to the end? ”
"Do you really want to save Jimo like that?" He said coldly.
"Of course I'm going to save him!" Tao Zhimo didn't hesitate, "I have to save him!" ”
He finally turned his head to look at her, her face extremely sincere, and her eyes extremely longing.
He wanted to ask something, but he couldn't ask, and after a while, he said, "You remember, you owe me." ”
"Huh?" Before Tao Zhimo could react, he had already turned his head, no longer looked at her, and said slowly with his hands behind his back, "The case of the Jimo family is very involved, the prince is involved in the government, and the queen and concubine are involved in the harem, but I am afraid that it is not so simple to whitewash their family." However, if Lord Yong is willing, he can also find someone else to blame, but," he said seriously, "it is not easy. ”
"What do you mean is that if you want to save the Jimo family, the only way to save the Jimo family is to find King Yong, right? If so," Tao Zhimo raised his eyebrows slightly, "If I look for the emperor, or the queen, the queen mother, and the concubine, will there be hope?" ”
Mo Wangnan Zhengse said, "The case of the Mo family has involved the prince, and the harem cannot interfere. As for the emperor, he will not personally try the case, and all of it will be handled by Dali Temple. ”
Tao Zhimo muttered, "That is to say, I can only find Ah Ci." ”
"Do you think King Yong will reopen the case for you? Do you know how many people are involved? It will take at least half a year to turn over the entire case and reorganize it, not to mention how much manpower and material resources will be wasted. It is impossible to save the Jimo family, and it is difficult to save Jimo, maybe it is possible. ”
"I'll figure it out." Tao Zhimo said resolutely.
"Just by your old relationship with King Yong?"
Tao Zhimo avoided answering, but said seriously, "Let's find out first, why the Mo family was convicted." ”
There are too many people involved in the case of the Jimo family, and we have to start with the first emperor's favorite concubine Zhenfei, after the concubine gave birth to the fourteenth prince, the first emperor was extremely fond of Zhenfei's mother and son, and even rumored several times that he would abolish the elder and younger. Later, someone poisoned the diet of the nursing mother of the Fourteenth Prince, intending to poison the Fourteenth Prince, who was still in infancy.
Later, it was found out that it was done by the imperial doctor Jimo Chang, and everyone in the court knew that the Jimo family was the prince's person, so the people in the court speculated that the Jimo family was instructed by the prince.
But the Mo family and the prince denied it, and in the end, the Mo family fell into the capital crime, and although the first emperor did not punish the prince, he always had a bad heart. After that, the first emperor took several opportunities to reduce the real power in the hands of the prince, and finally forced the prince to embark on the road of no return to force the palace to rebel.
Tao Zhimo said seriously, "Even if the first emperor favors the concubine again, but the prince and the queen have not made a mistake, what reason does the first emperor have to abolish the elder and the young?" Just those unfounded rumors? If the crown prince really can't wait, then why don't you poison ...... directly" Tao Zhimo paused, didn't dare to say it directly, and continued after a while, "I heard that after Concubine Zhen gave birth to the prince, she coveted the position of the queen and the crown prince, and took the risk to frame the queen and the prince. However, I think this is unlikely, the fourteenth prince is still in infancy, even if the crown prince is abolished, there are still many princes on it, and it will not be his turn to take the throne. Tao Zhimo lowered his voice, "The people behind this case still have to start with the people who get the most benefits." She felt that these things were like interlocking, that is, the Mo family was just one of the cannon fodder of this conspiracy.
Mo Yunan's eyes sank, and he said in a low voice, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Tao Zhimo also felt that his words were very rebellious, and sighed lowly, "I also have some friendship with the emperor, with my understanding of him, he has this heart, and he will not use such means to get it, unless there is someone behind him." ”
Mo Wangnan laughed out loud, "The person behind him? Who do you think can stand behind him? Could it be that you think it's Nangong Ci? ”
"I," Tao Zhimo couldn't figure it out, "Assuming it really is, the only reason why Ah Ci might do this is to avenge his father." Now that his revenge has been avenged, the first queen was sent to the cold palace, the crown prince was punished to guard the imperial tomb for life, and the fourth prince has also ascended the throne, I don't know what else he wants? The Mo family has no grudge against him, why did he just choose their family to take the blame? ”
