Chapter 35: Hidden Worries

Cui Tonghao and Xingrui and their party finally had to leave in disgrace, and the other Wang girl sitting in the car did not even show her face from beginning to end, but avoided the embarrassment of losing face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mo and the merchants returned to their old rhythm of life after sending off the group, but the merchants sometimes felt guilty when they looked at Li Mo's face.

She had always felt that Li Mo was unique, but she had never considered what he looked like in the eyes of others, and Xingrui's evasive and fearful eyes suddenly reminded her.

It's that she's too careless! He actually made Li Mo face such a hurtful gaze like this!

In the following days, with this guilt, the merchant was extraordinarily warm in his words, and he was even more careful not to mention the scene of that day.

At first, Li Mo didn't think that after a few days of this, his heart became strange. I just feel that businessmen and businessmen follow him in everything, and the petty nature that was occasionally coquettish in the past has also been much more restrained.

Under careful observation, Shang Shang's eyes were a little evasive, as if he had something to say.

Li Mo couldn't help sighing, when did the two get along like this, Shangshang is a frank woman, why didn't she say anything to him now?

The merchant himself didn't think that after making dinner in the evening and bringing it to the table, he was still gentle and caring, and Li Mo suddenly felt as if he had become a child.

"Merchant! Do you have anything to say to me these two days? Li Mo took a bite of the bamboo siad in the bowl, and finally spoke after enduring it for a long time.

"Uh--?" The merchant looked at Li Mo puzzled, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes blinked, very innocent.

Seeing that the merchant looked uncertain, Li Mo swallowed back no matter how much he said, so he had to eat with his head bored. Maybe it will be fine after a while.

Li Mo asked but stopped, which made Shang Shang feel quite strange, but he didn't continue, so Shang Shang didn't ask.

After the two had dinner, they lit the lamp in Li Mo's room with tea and talked.

The merchant recalled the debate machine that left Tibet and Gao Yang, who was heartbroken and wanted to die, and couldn't help but sigh with Li Mo again.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings outside the window, and the merchant's heart moved, and when he pushed the window to look, he saw a white dove landing in front of the window lattice of Li Mo's room.

The merchant smiled and scooped the pigeon in, held it up and shook it at Li Mo and said, "Look, it's only been a few days, and Li Yan must have seen something again." ”

Li Mo smiled and took the paper handed over by the merchant, the merchant leaned in front of the window and released the pigeon casually, and turned around and brought the candlestick to Li Mo.

When the two looked closely, just a few lines of paper read:

The main examination of Enke in the middle of the court has been decided, and the queen was belittled by the emperor for giving concubines, and now she lives in the Zhaoyang Palace, and Princess Gaoyang has been in and out of the mansions of several families recently, for unknown reasons.

Li Mo glanced at the note, thought for a moment, and then put it on the lamp and burned it to ashes.

Shang Shang had a bad face, although Queen Wang was belittled, but Xingrui's disgust and fear eyes seemed to her to be the biggest harm to Li Mo, and this was the place where she could not forgive Queen Wang the most.

"What's wrong? There is nothing wrong with what is written on this piece of paper, but why are you the way you are? Li Mo dusted the ashes into the brazier and looked back at the merchant.

From the time I looked at the paper, I had such a gloomy face, as if someone owed money, and I don't know why? Is it because Gao Yang's ignorance is not astringent?

It is said that the friendship between Shangshang and Gao Yang is no more than Erer, and what really makes her look up to it is just a debate. Li Mo really couldn't figure it out.

"It's nothing!" The merchant was a little apprehensive, but when he looked at Li Mo's face, he felt pain.

Her expression made Li Mo even more strange, and she couldn't help laughing: "But is there anything on my face?" Why do you think of me like that? ”

When Shang Shang heard him say this, he was afraid of causing him to be unhappy, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no! ”

"Why? You've been wondering for the past few days. Am I upsetting you somewhere? Li Mo approached the merchant and reached out to lift her head, allowing her to look him directly into the eyes.

Shang Shang shook his head hesitantly, and subconsciously avoided Li Mo's sight.

At such a close distance, the breath smells each other, and the ears and temples grind, even if they have lived in this Jiuzhi Mountain for so long, there are not many times.

First, it is true that filial piety should be kept, and secondly, both of them are afraid that they will be unable to help themselves, especially Li Mo, because he is a man, it is even harder to restrain himself.

"Merchant! Is there anything you can't tell me today? Li Mo called her softly, his eyes as soft as if they were about to drip water.

How can this person he wants to care for all his life not trust his sincerity?

"Actually...... It's nothing, it's just ...... It's just that I looked at the look in the eyes of that apricot that day, and I was a little unhappy. Shang Shang was a little surprised.

Regarding the matter of the queen giving concubines, if she went to find the emperor and told her about it, why would she make trouble with Li Mo, she blamed herself for being playful for a while, but let Li Mo suffer this insult!

"Eyes?" Li Mo was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't even looked at the woman named Xingrui that day, how could he ever pay attention to her eyes?

"Shangshang, are you jealous?" The smile on Li Mo's face narrowed, and the eyes that looked at Shang Shang became a little strange.

"You're ......!" The merchant was ashamed and annoyed, so he couldn't help but turn his back and said angrily: "Ignore you anymore!" ”

Li Mo looked at her like this, laughed and lovingly took her into his arms, and comforted her softly: "No matter how beautiful she is, I should promise that you will only accompany you in this life, I, Li Mo, have always been true to my word, why should you not get along with yourself?" ”

"Who's jealous? You're jealous! Shang Shang was angry, stretched out his hand and pushed Li Mo, but he couldn't push.

I could hear the beating of his heartbeat in his chest, and I smelled the warm breath in Li Mo's arms, which was completely different from the cold air in the room, and the stuffiness receded like a tide, leaving him with pity.

Yes! What about being jealous? It's that others see him like a ghost, and they only know that he is a treasure! Why care? And why bother to let him mind?

"You're not jealous, just be happy! Seeing you pulling your face these days, I feel uncomfortable. Li Mo patted her on the back.

The feeling of the soft touch under his hand made his heart flutter for a while, but he didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, so he hurriedly widened the distance between the two of them a little, held her shoulders with both hands, and struggled to push Shang Shang away.

"Hmmm! It's nothing, it's just that I thought about it myself, and now it's fine. The merchant looked at Li Mo, his cheeks slightly red.

Li Mo's emotions also affected her, the two had already been in love, and the difference was just a formality. But both of them are traditional etiquette people, and they never want to break the rules at this time and cause regrets.

"It's okay!" Li Mo said softly.

He never thought that Shang Shang was unhappy because of Xingrui's eyes. In his heart, as long as the merchant did not dislike him in the slightest, the rest of the irrelevant people had no influence on him at all, and it would not cause half a ripple in his heart.

The merchant withdrew from Li Mo's arms and turned on the wick for him, the atmosphere between the two was still a little charming, which made her heartbeat more and more urgent, and she felt that the voice could be easily heard even by Li Mo, and her face turned redder.

Hurriedly changed the cup of hot water in the teacup for Li Mo, and the merchant took two steps back and said in a low voice: "It's night!" Sleep! I went back to the house to rest. ”

Li Mo had left her to sit for a while, looking back and thinking about herself, but she felt that it was difficult to control, so she had to turn around and sit down, pick up the tea cup in front of her, and take a sip.

"Hmmm! Rest early, and let's go up the mountain tomorrow morning. ”

Shang Shang took a breath, turned around and closed the door for him, and when he walked back to his door, he looked at the light in Li Mo's room, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he covered it back shyly in an instant.

Li Mo saw that the merchant had returned to the house, and he was relieved.

There is still more than a year left in the filial piety period, and he is really afraid that he will not be able to control it, and it will not be good to give people a handle at that time.

got up and put down the teacup, but Li Mo remembered Gao Yang mentioned in Li Yan's letter.

He already knew everything that the businessman had done in Chang'an to help the defense machine get rid of the crime, some of which were told by Li Yan, and some of which were told to him by the businessman himself in the past few days, but the meaning was very clear.

It's just that Gao Yang is domineering, attracting Lord Chen to fight back, such a simple thing.

What Li Mo couldn't understand was: now that the matter has been resolved, the life of the debater is no longer in danger, and he has also got a chance to send an envoy to Tibet. What else is Gao Yang dissatisfied? As a royal princess, she frequently enters and exits the mansions of family officials, don't you know the taboos that will be committed?

"It seems that people still have to keep an eye on Gao Yang!" Li Mo looked at the lights and muttered.

Gao Yang has always been the most favored by the emperor among her brothers and sisters, not to mention the reason for this, but this in itself shows that she is still quite outstanding. reminiscent of her close relationship with King Wu......

Li Mo's hand twitched involuntarily. I hope he's thinking too much!

Sitting down and acting, Li Mo sharpened half of the inkstone ink in front of the desk, took the small note on the table casually, carefully wrote a few sentences, looked at it from beginning to end, and then put the paper on the lamp to dry the ink, rolled it up and folded it.

He opened the door lightly, and saw that the lights in the merchant room had been extinguished, and he thought that he had fallen asleep, so he went to the back of the house with confidence.

Taking out a fat white pigeon from the pigeon loft, Li Mo stuffed the folded paper paper into a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's legs, and lifted it with one hand, and put the pigeon into the sky.

Watching the white pigeon turn into a white dot in the dark night and quickly disappear, Li Mo watched in place for a long time, and then slowly returned to the house, turned off the lights and fell asleep.

The merchant lay on the soft bed, and watched the dark night inside the tent with wide eyes, and heard the sound outside the house gradually stop, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Li Mo has a lot of things in his heart, no one understands it better than her, but he doesn't want her to worry, so she pretends not to know, she just hopes that he will read it for her sake, take care of herself a little more, feel sorry for herself, and she won't ask for more!
