Chapter 22: I Heard
Seeing that Mo Huanli just stared at him but didn't speak, Ming Shumo said lightly: "Mr. knows that I came to Yuncheng this time, and I specially asked me to come and see how my junior brother is doing, Mr. still remembers you after so many years." ”
The surroundings were quiet, only Ming Shumo's sentence of "junior brother" was the most clear, and Mo Huanli was cold: "Then bother Jiuli Minggong to go back and tell Mr. that my son is doing well, thank you for remembering." It's okay you can go. ”
After saying Mo Huanli, he got up and walked to the inner room, he really didn't want to talk to this person anymore, in the eyes of others, Jiuli Minggong was personable and gentle, that was the black heart that others didn't know about this person, and he knew that he was a master who was selling knowledge and sowing discord since he was a child, and he could change his evil ways when he grew up? Ghost believes!
Ming Shumo raised his eyebrows, his fingers lightly clasped the jade tabletop, making a crisp "bell" sound, coupled with his elegant timbre, it sounded very comfortable. "Come back, I've got something to tell you."
Mo Huanli paused, didn't look back, and said coldly: "Tell me if you have something." ”
"It's about your parents."
Mo Huanli's body trembled, but he still didn't look back, but he didn't say anything.
"Sit down." Ming Shumo's elegant timbre was tinged with a hint of coolness, irresistible.
Mo Huanli turned around, walked back, and sat down quietly.
Ming Shumo seemed to be very satisfied, and said softly: "For so many years, you are also looking for Mr. and also looking for it, but looking at you like this, there should be no result, I traveled around the past few years, but I have heard a little about one thing, maybe it has something to do with you." ”
Seeing Mo Huanli's cold face become solemn, Ming Shumo continued: "When I went to Nanliang, I heard that more than 20 years ago, the reason why Nanliang and Dongluo suddenly stopped fighting for many years was not only because Nanliang suffered a natural disaster at that time, but also because before the natural disaster, the lord of Nanliang had reached an agreement with the old emperor of Dongluo. The long-term war has cost the people and money, and the people have complained, and Dongluo has not been able to recruit soldiers for a long time, and the old emperor has long wanted to end the war, but unexpectedly, Nanliang proposed it first. And the first condition is to sacrifice the child. At that time, the queen of Nanliang had just given birth to a son, and before she even took her name, she was used by the lord of Nanliang as a proton in exchange for the cessation of the war, and the old emperor agreed to bring the baby back to Dongluo but did not bring it back to the palace, the child seemed to have disappeared, and no one knew where it was. ”
Ming Shumo looked at Mo Huanli's frowning brows and continued: "You have always doubted your relationship with the Mo family, maybe you are right. ”
Mo Huanli was silent for a long time, and suddenly shook his head: "Then I won't have anything to do with Nanliang." ”
"Now that I know the truth of this matter, it is estimated that except for the old emperor, it is the person who left the child, are you sure not to ask the old prince Mo?"
Mo Huanli frowned, he has been tepid in the Mo family, even if he came back from Mr. Wenmo with amazing and brilliant knowledge when he was a child, he didn't see the old prince Mo appreciating, but he has always been cold and indifferent to him, although he is not favored, but he still does not allow other sons and daughters to bully, the old prince's attitude towards him has been ambiguous, and the meaning of looking at him is also unclear, he has no mother since he was conscious, and he asked the people of the Mo Mansion several times, everyone couldn't say why, and asked the old prince Mo directly, The old prince Mo said that his mother had died in childbirth, and asked his father, and got a hazy answer, and then he followed Mr. Wenmo away, so he confided in Mr. Wenmo, and Ming Shumo was also present at the time, so he said unscrupulously: "It seems that you are not your own, are you a member of the Mo family." With just one sentence, it was like waking up a person in a dream, although Mo Huanli was young, he also figured out a lot of things at once.
When he was ten years old, he found the residence of an old maid who had worked in the Mo family for more than 30 years, and under his desperate entanglement of emotion and reason, the old maid said: "The first time I saw you was the year when the emperor won the battle and came back from the border pass, when the prince came back from outside, he held you in his hand, saying that it was given birth by the daughter-in-law outside, and everyone didn't dare to say anything, but at that time, everyone actually privately discussed why the daughter-in-law gave birth to the prince and brought it back?" Everyone suspected that you were the illegitimate son of the prince, and later saw that you had been unfavored, so they gradually forgot about it. ”
Later, when Mo Huanli went to find the old maid again and wanted to take her back to confront the old prince Mo, he found that she had hanged herself, and there was no proof of her death since then.
He mentioned this matter when he corresponded with Mr. Wenmo, and Mr. also felt that something was wrong, so he began to help investigate, but there was no news for many years, so he always guessed that it was the old prince Mo who killed his whole family, and he was brought back to the house because of guilt, after all, the old prince Mo was in the prime of life and held the power of life and death. He even devised many plans for this speculation, but now the news brought by Ming Shumo was like thunder, no matter how he thought about it, it was consistent with his guess, and Mo Huanli felt at a loss for the first time in his heart.
Ming Shumo glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to think about it, this is just a rumor I heard by chance, it may not be true, you don't have to worry about it, if you really want to find out, then you have to wait until later, tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, you still have to raise your spirits and deal with the recent things first." ”
When it came to the enthronement ceremony, Mo Huanli suddenly looked at Ming Shumo, all the chaotic thoughts in his mind were left behind, and there was only one question left, his eyes were deep, and his tone was low: "Why did you suddenly come this time?" What do you have to do with the enthronement ceremony? ”
Ming Shumo was elegant and light, and smiled casually: "What does the enthronement ceremony have to do with me?" I'm just passing by to pay a visit to the new emperor. ”
Mo Huanli sneered: "You would have such a good heart? You wanted to come, but someone didn't want to see you, and I heard that you were surrounded and killed as soon as you came? Why didn't you die? It's a shame. ”
Ming Shumo's clear eyes did not fluctuate at all, and he said lightly: "Senior brother is not dead yet, how can senior brother be in front?" ”
"As the saying goes, the scourge lasts for a thousand years, and that's the truth." Mo Huanli glanced at him and pointed to the door: "Slow down and don't send it." ”
Ming Shumo got up, brushed the folds on his clothes, the moonlight sprinkled on his moon-white brocade robe, and his whole body was full of dust, but a simple action was done gently, Mo Huanli looked dazzling, simply didn't look at it, got up and entered the inner room. Ming Shumo didn't care, walked out of the house, and returned to the guest room.
The guest room had already been cleaned up, and the waiting maid saw that there was no one in the room, so she waited outside the door, and saw Ming Shumo walking leisurely from a distance, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
When Ming Shumo approached, he saluted: "Jiuli Minggong, the room has been cleaned up, do you need a slave to wait for a wide coat now?" ”
