Li Anyue paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, the slave maid also knows that there will inevitably be a war between countries, so naturally he can't blindly be timid, so the slave and maid think that the emperor can find out what happened on the one hand, and prepare early just in case." The above is a slave and maid's private words without authorization, if there is anything inappropriate, please ask the emperor and all the princes and ministers not to blame. ”

"Hahaha, good! If the women of my Tianyang Kingdom are like you, then what are they afraid of! Shenyue Cangting got up and smiled, and glanced at everyone again, "Do you understand?" ”

"Weichen thought that what this little palace maid said was not unreasonable, and asked the emperor to suspend the war."

"How can Prime Minister Sun Cheng ignore national security because of a little woman's nonsense!"

"King Chang, whether she is a woman or not, what she said has some truth, and if it makes sense, of course you have to listen to it."

"Well, you don't have to say more. What she said is what I want to tell you, everything will wait for the envoy sent by the Qi State before the next move, but you must also send someone to find out the matter first, and this matter will be handed over to you, Haotian. ”

"The retainers obey."

"Okay, you go down, I heard that you have been making trouble all morning, and you are going to rest." Shenyue Haotian sat in a chair and rubbed his temples and motioned for them to stand down.

"Wechen retired."

In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the room, Li Anyue and Shenyue Cangting, Li Anyue absentmindedly grinding the ink, while secretly raising his eyes to look at Shenyue Cangting, but bumped into Shenyue Cangting's gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head and accelerated the movements in his hands.

"Like you, how good the ink quilt will be grinded out of shape by you." Shenyue Cangting took a sip of tea and said slowly. Li Anyue's face flushed, nodded, and slowed down.

"Are you getting better?"

"Well, thanks to the emperor's blessing, it's already much better."

"Why are you here today? I don't seem to have told you anything to do. ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves...... Originally, there were some things I wanted to ask the emperor, but now that I think about it, I don't need to ask. ”

"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say? ”

"Well, it's not a big deal, so it's okay if you don't ask." Li Anyue waved his hand with a sneer, completely forgetting the explanation of Shenyue Cangting, and sped up the action of grinding ink in his hand.

Shenyue Cangting glanced at her, stretched out his hand and took the inkstone away, "Do you really want to waste these good inks?" ”

"Slaves and maids are really not good at grinding ink, please don't be surprised by the emperor." Li Anyue embarrassedly put down the ink block.

"Okay, anyway, there are no outsiders here, just ask whatever you want, I'm not a tiger, what are you doing so scared." Shenyue Cangting took the brush, dipped it in some ink, and sketched it on the paper.

Li Anyue saw him so leisurely, and also relaxed a little, "The slave maid wants to ask the emperor if he has seen a jade Buddha when he was in Guang'an Temple." The slave and maid are just asking, and the emperor doesn't have to take it seriously! ”

"Jade Buddha? What does it look like? ”

"It's a smiling Maitreya Buddha, made of jadeite, very transparent and beautiful."

"Oh? Sounds so valuable, how could you own such a thing? Shenyue Cangting continued to bow his head and asked as he drawn.

"It was left by the slave's mother to the slave, so it is an important thing for the slave."

"Your mother's stuff? Your mother's name is Li Meifang? ”

"Yes."

"Do you know the origin of this Jade Buddha?"

"The slave only got this thing after her mother's death, so I don't know."

"I know, I can tell you that there are only three pieces of this Jade Buddha in the world today, one is on the Queen Mother, one is on Haoqing's mother, and one is given by me to a friend of life and death, that is, General Mo later." Shenyue Cangting put down the pen, picked it up and looked at it for a while, and then shook his head, "You really still need to learn the technique of grinding ink, and it is not smooth at all to see that these inks." ”

Li Anyue listened to his words, her heart became uneasy, she only knew that this was something left to her by her biological mother, but she didn't know how it came about, so she made preparations to kill and not admit it, "The slave doesn't know how this jade Buddha is in the hands of her mother, maybe it's just by chance." ”

"Smack!" Shenyue Cangting slapped the painting on the table, Li Anyue was startled and quickly knelt down, "The emperor is angry!" The slave and maid are telling the truth. ”

"Honestly? According to me, it may not be, this jade Buddha is I personally went to Guang'an Temple to beg, engraved with a very small lotus mark behind the Buddha, there are only three in total, and how to add this fourth, the queen mother's jade Buddha has been wearing it, the jade Buddha of the concubine has long been buried, General Mo's family has already been buried in the fire, where did your jade Buddha come from! ”

Li Anyue thought about how to answer, and finally only held back a sentence, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Shenyue Cangting walked up to her and pinched her chin, Li Anyue looked at him a little bewildered, only to feel a tingling pain on his face, and the mask fell into Shenyue Cangting's hand, "Your Majesty ......"

"What else do you have to say now?" Shenyue Cangting lifted the mask on his hand and looked at Li Anyue.

Li Anyue thought about this scene in surprise, she didn't know when she was exposed, how did the emperor know, and thought about how to answer countless times in her mind, "The slave doesn't like the way she looks now, so she wears a mask." ”

"Do you think I'm so easy to deceive?"

"The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid just want to live well in the palace, and feel that the original face may be a little conspicuous, so I thought of such a way, the slave and maid didn't mean to deceive the emperor!"

"As far as I know, there are no more than two people who have made human skin masks, one is dead and the other is in seclusion, how do you know?"

Li Anyue knew that the two people he said were Shi Niang and Shi Niang's master, "The slave's master is Jin Susu." ”

"How did I not know that Jin Susu had taken in an apprentice?"

"The master was a slave and maid after living in seclusion, so no one in the outside world knew about it."

"Hahaha!" Shenyue Cangting suddenly laughed, Li Anyue stared at him uneasily, Shenyue Cangting laughed for a while and then restrained his smile, "Li Anyue, you are really bold!" How dare you deceive me again and again! Come! ”

"Your Majesty......" Li Anyue panicked and wanted to stop him.

"The minions are here!" Wu Yong, who was guarding outside the door, heard the shout and walked in, but at a glance he saw a good-looking woman kneeling at the emperor's feet, the woman was looking at him in horror at this time, he looked at her in surprise, but did not recognize who she was.

"Drag this bold palace maid down to me with a cane!" Shenyue Cangting coughed and withdrew Wu Yong's gaze.

"Rod, rod?" Wu Yong asked again in disbelief, the emperor has never used such a big punishment on any woman.

Li Anyue looked at Shenyue Cangting as if he was joking, "The emperor is angry, what the slave said is true, this jade Buddha is indeed left by the slave's mother, but it is not an adoptive mother, but a biological mother." ”

Shenyue Cangting stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes, and waved Wu Yong out for a long time, Wu Yong knew that something seemed to be going on, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he obediently retreated, "You said it's your biological mother?" ”

"Yes, Li Meifang is just the slave's adoptive mother, not the slave's biological mother."

"And who is your real mother?"

Li Anyue raised her head and looked at him, her eyes were a little moist, "Xu Ruoyan." The slave maid is not surnamed Li, but surnamed Mo, and her real name is Mo Anyue. ”

Shenyue Cangting seemed to have expected it, but it seemed to be a little surprised, "Who is your father?" ”

"Mo Lansheng, the general of the Tianyang Kingdom."

"How is that possible! Lan Sheng's family was already buried in the fire more than ten years ago! ”

"Yes, both father and mother have died in the fire, but the slave maid has a great life, and was hugged by a subordinate of Mofu, that is, the later adoptive mother Li Meifang, and has been living incognito in Peach Blossom Village since then."

"How can I believe you?" Shenyue Cangting looked at her with a faint closeness in his eyes.

Li Anyue took out the purse she was carrying from her sleeve and presented it. It was the red silk purse left by her mother, and there was still Li Anyue's birthday and the letter left by Li Meifang in it. Shenyue Cangting took out the contents of his purse, saw the letter that had long been blurred by tears, and immediately helped Li Anyue up, "Child, get up, it's me who blames you." ”

"Your Majesty ......" Li Anyue was a little confused by this 180-degree change in his attitude.

"I had doubts about your identity, but I didn't expect you to be Lan Sheng's biological daughter. Thinking that Lan Sheng still has children in this world, I am also comforted! Shenyue Cangting took out the jade jade Buddha from his arms and returned it to her along with the purse.

"Does the emperor have a good relationship with his father?" Li Anyue took it with some emotion.

"It's not just good, although I and Lan Sheng are not brothers, they are better than brothers!" Shenyue Cangting recalled the past, and there was a rare light in his eyes, whether it was nostalgia, emotion or regret. "Your father was promoted to a military general when he was a teenager, and since then he has been defending the enemy for me, and he has always protected me by my side, and once he also blocked the assassin's sword for me like you, and almost died on the spot, I think I owe you both father and daughter, and let you block the sword for me."

"No, it's what we owe the emperor, maybe it's here to repay it in this life."

"This jade Buddha was after that time, I went to the temple to ask for it, and rewarded one of them to your father, and later after your father married, he gave this jade Buddha to your mother, but I didn't expect your mother to leave it to you."

Li Anyue listened silently and did not make a sound, although she had no feelings for her father and mother, but after all, it was their blood that flowed in her body, but there was still some kind of connection in the dark, and when she heard others talk about it, she was inexplicably moved in her heart.
