Chapter 173: Win-Win Deal
It was the same thick fog that permeated the wide river, white and white, and nothing could be seen five paces away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info standing on the water, can clearly see their own reflection. Mo Yu walked on the surface of the river, in the white mist, looking for a way out, looking for a long time, but it seemed that he did not find it.
"Hee-hee, haha, hehe."
It seems to be laughter, there is the laughter of adults, and there is the laughter of children. Mo Yu followed the sound, and the voice became clearer and clearer, but the person still didn't know where it was, and he couldn't see it. The voice is getting closer and closer, and it is becoming more and more familiar, Mo Yu listens carefully, it seems to be the laughter of the night sky, the child's voice, is it the laughter of the night snow?
Mo Yu's steps couldn't help but speed up, child, she seemed to see the child. But no matter how she looked, she still couldn't get out of this fog. She wanted to call out their names, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything, and she could only scream silently as if she was dumb.
The laughter grew quieter and farther away. Mo Yu could feel them getting farther and farther away from her, and she was shouting in her heart, "Don't go, I'm not going to go here." But no one heard her cry, no one saw her. She sat on the ground, watching the fog around her, and then letting the laughter drift away from her until it was gone.
Suddenly, the fog cleared, and the surroundings were clear. Mo Yu stood up abruptly, looking at the white snow in the distance, where was the figure of Yetian and the child. This time, instead of falling into the icy water, she stood steadily. She could see her reflection in the water beneath her feet.
There was a sound of birds, Mo Yu opened his eyes, and Fang felt that everything just now was just a dream. But the voices sounded so real, and the one between her and them was like a cloud, and even if they could hear the sounds, they couldn't see each other. She always had a feeling that in this life, she was afraid that she would never see them again.
"The mother is awake."
Mo Yu lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the mirror, and looked at the clear face in the mirror. She stroked her sideburns, still smooth and flawless, this face was still the same as three years ago, but it seemed to be different from three years ago. In the end, the years are ruthless, the vicissitudes of Songhai, and the thoughts are full. "Biyue."
Biyue walked up behind her and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Where is your master, I want to see him."
Biyue was a little embarrassed, "Niangniang, I don't know the whereabouts of the master." Moreover, at this time, it is inconvenient for the master to enter the palace, which is too risky. ”
Mo Yu turned around and said with some pleading: "Biyue, you bring him a letter, just say that I want to see him." I have a hunch that this side may be the last time I will meet him. ”
"Niangniang, don't talk nonsense, the master has already arranged everything, just wait for the time." Biyue said while combing her hair.
"What arrangement?"
Biyue still said the same thing, "I don't know, I'll know when the time comes." ”
Forget it, if God really destined them not to see this side, then no matter how much she struggled, it would be useless. "What's going on out there?"
Biyue didn't want to tell her, but with Moyu's temperament, even if she didn't say it, she would know that it was better to tell it herself. "More than half of the civil and military officials have written to Niangniang every day, including Master Ji. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have quarreled several times over this matter, but every time the Empress Dowager goes outside the Yuxian Palace, she is stopped by the guards. ”
"It's really counterproductive for the emperor to do this, and it has confirmed the crime of my demon concubine. I'm like I'm in prison right now, I can't get in, I can't get out. "If the ministers continue to make trouble like this, they will kneel on the Zichen Hall and force the emperor to kill her.
Biyue put the white hosta on the table on the table for Moyu, and said, "Niangniang, bear with me, soon, you can go out." ”
Easier said than done. "Biyue, have you ever thought about your future?"
"Nope. We are subordinates, and what we think about every day is how to do our part well, not to be punished by the master, and then slowly boil until the day of leaving the palace. "This is the fate of their palace maids, if you are lucky, you can leave the palace when you are old, and if you are unlucky, your soul will be locked in this palace forever.
"If I can't escape this fate, then you can go out of the palace. I will arrange everything for you, you and Xiangrong, leave this palace, as far as you want. ”
Biyue knelt in front of Mo Yu and raised her head to look at her seriously, "I will follow Niangniang for the rest of my life." ”
There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, Mo Yu looked at the green spring outside the window, and said softly: "No one can follow anyone for a lifetime, and all relationships end in dispersion." "The only thing that remains unchanged is the affection between people. People can disappear, but affection, blood, and lovesickness will be engraved in the hearts of the living and cannot be broken.
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
There was a shout outside the hall, Mo Yu and Biyue glanced at each other, and they both wondered what the Queen Mother was doing when she came to the Jade Immortal Palace early in the morning?
didn't have time to think about it, Mo Yu walked out of the hall and greeted the Queen Mother. "Concubines see Queen Mother."
"Get up!" In this voice, although there was restraint, Mo Yu could still feel her anger. She got up and said, "Thank you Empress Dowager." ”
"Concubine Ji is really noble, if the mourning family wants to see you, you have to ask the emperor again and again, even the emperor's token doesn't work, the face is really big enough." Every time she wanted to enter the Jade Immortal Palace, she was blocked by the guards outside the palace, if she hadn't been forced by a hunger strike yesterday, the emperor wouldn't have let her in?
Mo Yu raised her head, her eyes fell on the bridge of the Queen Mother's nose, and said, "The Queen Mother's words, the concubine can't afford it." Concubines and palace concubines, how can they honor the queen mother. ”
"Hmph." The Queen Mother walked past her, walked into the hall, and said sharply: "Except for the concubine, everyone else has retreated to the palace gate, and anyone who approaches will be killed." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mo Yu's heart couldn't help but tighten. His gaze met with Biyue in the air, nodded slightly, and then turned around and walked into the hall. The rest of the people, all under the urging of Wan Gongdi, walked towards the gate of the Jade Immortal Palace.
Since they sent everyone away, there must be some secret that they should not know, or there must be some conspiracy. Mo Yu couldn't guess what the Queen Mother wanted to do? Early in the morning, she didn't even have breakfast, so she had to deal with the angry queen mother. "I don't know what the Queen Mother has to order?"
The Queen Mother turned around suddenly, and anger spat out from between her teeth, "Where is the prince?" ”
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Mo Yu could feel the rapid beating of her own heart, her fingers slowly clenched, and her slender nails sank into the flesh little by little. His face was still the same as usual, and he said lightly: "What did the Queen Mother say?" The concubine didn't understand. ”
"Hmph, you don't have to pretend to be confused with the mourners." The Queen Mother walked past her and paced in the hall, "The mourning family has been thinking for a while, you are so smart, you should think about what method the mourning family wants to use against you and use your children." You are a mother, and since you don't want your child to be controlled by the mourning family, what can you do to protect your child? The only way is to let the mourning family never see this child. ”
is worthy of being a woman who has been up and down in the palace for many years, and it is really not false. "What the Queen Mother said, the concubines understand half of it, but half of it, the concubines don't understand."
"You know, the child isn't missing at all, it's hidden by you, right?"
Mo Yu slowly turned around, looked at the Queen Mother in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Hehe, does the Queen Mother mean that the concubine hid her child, and then deceived the emperor and let him look for children all over the world?" ”
The Queen Mother affirmed coldly: "The mourning family dares to conclude that the child is in your hands." ”
Therefore, she came today, not because of the rumors that she was a demon concubine, but because she finally knew where the chips in her hand were, right? "The Jade Immortal Palace is such a big place, does the Queen Mother think she can hide a child? Besides, there are many people in the palace, and when the child cries, everyone knows, how can the concubine hide it. ”
"So, it's true that the child is not in the palace anymore, but somewhere hidden by you outside the palace, right?" The Queen Mother sneered.
Mo Yu turned sideways and said, "Queen Mother, the child is the life of the concubine, and the concubine cannot lose her life." If someone wants to make a fuss about the concubine's children, the concubine will fight with her. The concubine knows the queen mother's thoughts, but the concubine will never let the child leave the concubine's side for half a step, because the child is safest by the concubine's side. But the Queen Mother's attitude today made the concubine have an idea, perhaps, if the child can't be found, it will be safer. ”
The Queen Mother snorted, turned around and walked to the window, stroked a Yueji on the table with her fingers, and said, "Concubine, you don't have to act in front of the mourning family anymore." The mourning family is also a woman, and if the mourning family is you, you will also choose this way to protect your children. But you shouldn't, point the arrow at the mourning family, and separate the relationship between the mourning family and the emperor, this is a capital crime. ”
"On that day, it was the concubine who collided with the Queen Mother, please forgive the Queen Mother." Mo Yu bent down slightly, bowed his head and said. "If you can, the concubine also hopes that the queen mother can use your power to help the concubine find the child. Perhaps, before dying, the concubine can see him again. ”
A look of uncertainty crossed the Queen Mother's face, could it really be that she guessed wrong? "Ha, the emperor put you under house arrest in order not to let you know about the outside world, but I didn't expect you to know about it, he really wasted his thoughts." The Queen Mother turned around and said in a deep voice: "The mourning family is very curious, how did you send the child out, judging from the information that the mourning family has, in this Tokyo city, you don't have many people to trust, it just so happened that Sikong entered the palace again that day, and the mourning family had to suspect that he was involved in this matter." ”
Mo Yu was not too surprised, she knew that once the Queen Mother suspected, Sikong would be the first object of suspicion. "Since the queen mother has already determined that it was the concubine who hid the child, the concubine has nothing to say. What the concubine has done, she naturally admits it, but if the concubine has not done it, she will not take it hard, not to mention that it involves the concubine's children. The Queen Mother can also play the Emperor Ming and copy the Sikong Mansion to see if she can find out the child? ”
"Hmph." The Queen Mother walked up to her and said, "What you said today, the mourning family won't believe a word." You are too smart, you know people's hearts too well, and even the mourning family has been calculated by you, and the mourning family doesn't know which sentence you say is true and which is false, so they simply don't believe a word. ”
Mo Yu's gaze was parallel to her, and she sneered: "Then the Queen Mother is really idle today, and she came to listen to the concubines tell lies." ”
"The mourning family doesn't have that hobby, say, where is the child?"
"What does the Queen Mother want the concubine to say, make up a story?" She hates storytelling the most.
The Queen Mother said coldly: "If you don't say it, the mourning family will say it for you." You know that the mourning family wants your child to be the prince, but you don't want to, so you teamed up with Sikong to send the child out of the palace, right? ”
There are clouds in the art of war, and the virtual is real, and the real is virtual. The corners of Mo Yu's mouth hooked, her mouth smiled without smiling, and said: "Since the Queen Mother already knows, you have the ability to find it yourself." can be found, not only does the concubine not object to him being the prince, but the concubine will also renew the promise of the day and deal with the queen's mother and son for you. Oh, and speaking of the Queen, she should be giving birth soon! Queen Mother, your time is running out. ”
Mo Yu could feel a hot breath hitting her face, and she heard the Queen Mother squeeze out a few words from between her teeth, "You threaten the mourning family?" ”
"The concubine is not threatening you, this is the situation now. Since the queen mother believes that the child is hidden by the concubine, the concubine will play this game with the queen mother, you find the child, I will be the queen, and in the future, you will be the queen mother. This deal, let's win. Mo Yu turned around, paced to the door, and said softly: "Of course, the Empress Dowager can also choose to go to the emperor, just say that the concubine has committed the crime of defrauding the king, and it just so happens that now the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty want the concubine to die, and the emperor will be happy to give the concubine a death." ”
After Moyu said this, the Queen Mother was not sure whether her guess was correct. If she said that the child was really hidden by her, why did she do everything possible to ask her to help, help her find the child, and even do not hesitate to make a deal? Could it be that the information I got before and my own inferences were really wrong? It doesn't make sense! The emperor is there, she will not go, the emperor will never dispose of Moyu easily, and he will not believe her speculation, once she says it, the emperor suspects that the queen mother wants to take advantage of this rumor to execute Moyu, and the relationship between mother and son is even more tense, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"You don't need to use the emperor to suppress the mourning family, the mourning family can't take you, can you still take him Sikong family?"
Mo Yu smiled and didn't answer. Sikong family, even if the queen mother wants to move, I'm afraid the emperor won't agree! Sikong is now his right-hand man, and the status of the Sikong family in Tokyo is no less than that of Prime Minister Wang Pu. Besides, the Queen Mother doesn't have any authority now, and Sikong Mansion is not a persimmon that is easy to pinch, how can it be so easy to deal with.
But there is a good saying, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. If the queen dies and the net is broken, no one will get any benefit. If a woman initiates a ruthless attack, she is worth thousands of troops. Zhen'er is pregnant again, so it is really not appropriate to have an accident at this time. Mo Yu slowly turned around and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, let's make another deal, how about it?" ”
"Hahaha." The Queen Mother sneered a few times and said: "The mourning family shouldn't have believed the Ji family at the beginning, if the person chosen from the beginning was you, or if the arrow should have killed you at the beginning, there wouldn't be so much trouble." ”
"Queen Mother, you are wrong. I am who I am, and I will not change anytime. Even if the queen mother chooses a concubine from the beginning, the concubine will not be at your mercy. Old Madam Ji made a mistake, she shouldn't think that an indefatigable cat is docile. To put it mildly, Ji Feicui just entered the palace in vain, and the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and in the end he couldn't get anything. "Actually, in the final analysis, the Ji family, the most pitiful thing is not her, it is Jade.
The Queen Mother nodded, agreeing with Moyu's statement. "People like you should be born for this era. If you want, you can achieve a legend, a hegemony, and you can even become the second Great Holy Empress. ”
"Huh." Mo Yu turned around, looked at the bright sky above his head, and said quietly: "Is it really good to be Wu Zetian?" Yes, she has the supreme right, but what else does she have besides the right, what about the people she loves, what about her children, she sits in that position alone, the height is unbearable, is she really happy? ”
"If you're not happy, you won't know until you sit down......"
"Forget it!" Mo Yu interrupted her words and turned to look at her blue face, probably in her life, no one dared to interrupt her! "Even if I do, I have to live for now."
"Hmph, since you want to live, let's talk about your deal!" (To be continued.) )
