Chapter 21: Who is Li Mo?
"Green Sleeves, when do you think we can go back to Yunshuifang?" Shang Shang was a little worried, although there was food and drink in the prince's mansion, no one dared to give her a look at her face, but this situation of unknown concubines made her a little uneasy.

"What is the girl worried about? Isn't Li Gongzi very good to the girl? Green Sleeves looked at Shang Shang with wide eyes, a little confused what she was worried about, that Li Gongzi looked very good!
"That's good! He was just too good to me, but I didn't understand why he was so good to me, and ......" The latter words were not said by the businessman, she wanted to say that Li Mo had quietly touched her bedroom, such a dangerous person, made her a little creepy.
"The girl is thinking too much, I think Li Gongzi is very good, and he looks very rich, maybe he will be the girl's lover!" Green Sleeves shook the small fan in his hand to fan the merchants, and happily thought about the days ahead, "Maybe Li Gongzi is happy and redeems the girl, won't the girl have to stay in Yunshuifang anymore?" Isn't that what the girl has always wanted? ā
"Redemption? Where is it so easy, like me, who is implicated in a rebellion case, to ask the emperor for pardon, but the king of a country is busy with state affairs, where can he take care of such a trivial matter as me? Shang Shang smiled bitterly, after his first appearance on stage, Li Qingyu, the lord of Luoyang Mansion, also came to listen to her music, Shang Shang asked this question when he was in a good mood, and the answer he got made her feel more chilled than what Shen Luoyun said.
"Is it so hard? What are you going to do in the future, girl? Green Sleeves frowned sadly, she knew that the girl's biggest wish in this life was to be able to leave Yunshuifang.
"What can be done? The water is coming! Shang Shang said in a low voice, his mood was not high. Turned his head and looked at the garden, the sun was roasting like fire, that Yan had been gone for so long, why hadn't he come back yet? She was dying of thirst, and she knew that she wouldn't have gone out for a walk when the sun was big.
Shang Shang was annoyed to himself, but he saw a figure turning by the door of the Moon Cave, as if it was Li Mo, thinking of these days, Li Mo had never come to see her, and he didn't know when he would let her go back to Yunshuifang, his heart suddenly became angry, and he didn't think about it, he got up and chased after him. Greensleeves was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.
Out of the door of the Moon Cave, I saw a long figure in front of me, wearing a light yellow shirt, walking unhurriedly, followed by a small guy wearing a palace hat, holding a whisk in his hand, bowing slightly, nodding as he walked, as if he was responding to something.
The merchant lifted the long hem of his skirt and trotted all the way, hurrying slowly, and finally walked behind the man.
"Li Mo!" The merchant shouted, if this man walks faster, she will not be able to catch up, the clothes of this era are really annoying, the long skirt, when she walks, she will fall if she is not careful.
The figure that was moving stopped when he heard the sound, and when he turned around, he saw a girl with a rosy face, a layer of fine sweat on her forehead, and a well-defined red lip panting with a slight "whirring".
"Is there something wrong?" The man in the robe asked quietly, raising his hand to stop the little guy next to him from questioning about to exit.
"I ask you, I've been giving my needles for so long, when will you send me back to Yunshuifang? I don't have the effort to exhaust you. The merchant looked at Li Mo angrily, but he was a little surprised in his heart, how could the clothes he was wearing be yellow?
Although this color is very suitable for him, it seems that he is much milder than before, but this color will not be taboo? He is the person next to the prince, isn't he afraid of being punished? This is the color that only emperors and princes can wear.
"Merchant?" Li Mo in front of him seemed to be a little different, "Let's wait a while, when your body is almost well, I will send you back to Yunshuifang." ā
"Still have to wait? I'm in good shape! It's been almost ten days since I've been here, and even the doctor said that my body is almost better, as long as I take care of it, why are you still detaining me here? "Shang Shang is a little anxious, what's the matter with this person? Is there really any intention for her?
"Are you in a hurry? What's so good about Yunshuifang? You can only be a singer there, but what do you want in the prince's mansion, is there anything you are not satisfied with? Li Mo looked at the merchant with some amusement, it seems that this mansion is not a reason to keep her, but he doesn't understand a little, isn't it as good as a brothel in the prince's mansion?
"You---not Li Mo." The merchant suddenly spoke, "Who are you?" ā
Li Mo would never say such a thing, she protested with him countless times against his house arrest, but Li Mo always smiled faintly, only said that it was not time yet, and he would never say such a large number of words, and this man's eyes were not very similar, although his appearance was exactly the same as Li Mo, but Li Mo's eyes were not so gentle, like the morning wind, his eyes were more like the summer wind, and they were hot on people.
"A bold woman, she is so rude to His Royal Highness the Prince!" The little guy on the side shouted with a sharp voice, although the prince is benevolent, but this woman is too bold, how can she question His Royal Highness the prince like this, as if she is torturing a prisoner, it is really bold!
"Prince? Are you the crown prince? Li Zhi? The merchant's eyes widened in disbelief, feeling as if he had been kicked over the head by a donkey, and he couldn't react.
Is this man the crown prince? That is, the future Gaozong Li Zhi? If he is Li Zhi, then who is Li Mo? How do they look exactly the same? But it has never been mentioned in the history books that Li Zhi has a twin brother?
The merchant felt that he was completely confused!
The green sleeves on one side don't dare to breathe, this is the prince today! She pulled the merchant's sleeve with her hand, wanting to bring the merchant back to his senses in a daze, disrespectful to the prince, but it was a big crime, and if she couldn't get it, she would kill her head!
The little guy on the side was still unwilling to be lonely at this time and shouted: "Bold woman, why don't you kneel when you see the prince?" "Listen to that voice, this must be a eunuch.
Shang Shang was full of excitement, came back to his senses, immediately bowed his head and leaned over, and bowed to Li Zhi: "Shang Shang saw the prince, but he didn't know that the prince was in charge, and he was offended, so I hope the prince will forgive him." ā
She gave Li Zhi a salute in a panic, but she was still thinking about the question just now, why is Li Mo exactly the same as Li Zhichang? She has also read Tang Shi, but she has never heard that Li Zhi has twin brothers, which one is this?
"The merchant girl is exempt, Xiaosi, you go and make two cups of tea, and then bring some snacks to the study, I want to talk to the merchant girl." Li Zhi looked at Shang Shang with some surprise, he had been misidentified before, but no one had ever discovered the truth, but this woman could tell the difference between the two in a moment, which made Li Zhi interested in her, and immediately waved away the little eunuch beside him.
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince. Xiao Si agreed softly, went by himself, and gave the merchant a look before leaving, warning her to be careful.
Shang Shang saw the little eunuch's eyes, and he couldn't laugh or cry, she was just a powerless woman, could she be a threat to Li Zhi, who was tall and tall? Looks like she's more dangerous! Doesn't it mean that royal people love beauty more?
And Li Zhi seems to be a famous amorous seed, he is unprecedented to Wu Meiniang! So good that in the end, even the world gave it away.
"Come with me." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, regardless of the fact that the merchant was still in a daze.
"Girl, the prince told you to follow him." Greensleeves looked at the merchant who was still in the fugue, let out a whisper, and tugged at her sleeve again.
Shang Shang came back to his senses at this time, but he still looked at Li Zhi's back with strange eyes, and he didn't know what thoughts were turning in his heart.
Entering the study, Li Zhi sat down in front of the table and raised his hand to signal the merchant to sit on the soft couch.
The merchant looked at the soft couch, frowned imperceptibly, this soft couch is not a safe place, it is better to find another place to sit, she looked around, she found a spring stool, she reached out and dragged it over, put it opposite Li Zhi, took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and then sat down.
Li Zhi looked at her movements, and couldn't help but be a little funny, is there a thorn in this soft couch? How to look at her look of disgust. Just as he was about to speak, the little eunuch named Xiao Si pushed the door in and came in, putting the tea tray in his hand on the desk.
Li Zhi waved his hand, and he bowed down and slowly retreated.
"The merchant girl has been here for a while, hasn't she?" Li Zhi picked up the teacup and handed a cup to Green Sleeves, motioned for her to serve it to her girl, picked up another cup himself, put it to his lips and took a sip.
"Yes!" The merchant didn't know what Li Zhi was going to say to her, so he took the teacup from the green sleeves, and didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod yes.
"Are you still used to living?" Li Zhi didn't look up, only looked down at the tea soup in the cup.
"Well, thank you for your concern." The merchant pondered for a long time, and then said: "It's just that the merchant has been out for a long time, and I'm afraid that the Yunfang owner in the workshop will be worried, so I still want to go back early, and I hope that the prince can be fulfilled." ā
"Why do you want to go back to Yunshuifang? Isn't it good to be a comfortable person in the house? Li Zhi hesitated, but still asked this question.
"The prince doesn't know, the merchant is an official prostitute, and the father was punished for the rebellion of the abolished prince, and he can't redeem himself according to the law, so the merchant can only stay in Yunshuifang." The businessman didn't know what Li Zhi meant by this question, so he had to prevaricate with this reason first, but he didn't expect that the identity he hated would become a shield at this time.
"Oh-" Li Zhi dragged out his voice, in fact, he had already known the identity of the merchant after meeting Li Mo.
"Merchant," Li Zhi paused, thinking about what to say. "Can you tell me, how did you tell that I wasn't Li Mo?"
"This-" Shang Shang was a little hesitant, in fact, she was not particularly sure just now, but she had a feeling that this man and Li Mo were not alone, plus she had been under house arrest for many days, and she was a little angry in her heart, so she blurted out. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes are different from him, they are gentler, and besides, he has never said so much to Shang Shang."
"You should understand that there are some things that cannot be known, such as what you said today...... I'm not Li Mo. "The relationship between Li Mo and him, except for the personal little eunuch and the people in the secret guard who was called Xiao Si just now, the whole world, only the emperor and the queen know, in the past, when Li Mo dealt with some things on his behalf, he never called Li Mo the name to the outside world, and always dealt with it as Li Zhi, but now he told the merchant that his name was Li Mo, and it is conceivable that the merchant is special to him. But there are some things that cannot be left unguarded.
"The merchant understands that I won't tell anyone." Shang Shang immediately made an expression that I understood, but secretly complained in his heart: Is she involved in some royal secrets? If that's the case, sooner or later she'll be killed! She doesn't want to die!
"That's fine." Li Zhi looked at her like I would definitely not say it, a little funny, but he didn't want to say it, some things should be left to Li Mo to tell her. "As for your stay or stay, I think it's better to wait for Mo to come back, he will arrange it, and the merchant girl will settle down first, and if there is anything needed, I will order the people to do it."
"Yes!" The merchant saw Li Zhi pick up the teacup and understood that he was sending off the guest, so he bowed his head and gave a salute and said goodbye.
Green Sleeves followed behind her, and she couldn't understand why her girl looked frightened.
When the two of them left the study, they walked back to the garden, and walked straight to the pavilion where they had just sit, only to find that Yan had been waiting in place for a long time, and there were a few plates of pastries and a pot of tea on the small table in the pavilion.
Seeing the two of them coming back, Hiko immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where did the girl go?" ā
"Your name is Hiko, isn't it?" The merchant didn't answer and asked, "Who is your master, Li Mo?" What is his relationship with the crown prince? ā
Coming out of the study, Shang Shang thought about it for a long time, only to find that he still didn't know anything, why was that Li Mo exactly the same as Li Zhi, and in the end Li Zhi didn't say anything, but instead circled himself for a long time, originally begging him to send him back to Yunshuifang, but in the end he was forgotten by himself, he really deserves to be a person in the palace, and his ability to change the topic is really strong.
"It's better not to ask, if my lord wants to tell the girl, the girl will naturally know." Yan replied with a straight face, he could not say it to anyone without the command of the Lord.
Shang Shang looked at Yan for a long time, and then he had to sigh and sit down resignedly.
Never mind! If you come, let it be safe! It seems that since she came to the Tang Dynasty, she has comforted herself the most times probably this sentence!
