Chapter 156: Conspiracy

Meeting is fate, lovesickness is gradually entangled, but it is difficult to meet. The pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info the mountains are high and the road is far away, and there are only thousands of miles together. Because of dissatisfaction, the mandarin dream became empty, so the photograph, Tuo Hongyan, quickly passed on. I like to open the seal, hold the jade photo, and take a closer look, but I see the cherry lips red, the willow eyebrows, the starry eyes are watery, and the love is longer. How to sue with infinite love, looking southeast, a song of phoenixes.

At that time, Zhuo Wenjun was able to ignore the world's vision, violate the code of ethics, boldly pursue the love of his heart, and eloped with Si Xiangru. The spurning and abuse of the world, the coldness of the code of ethics, and the opposition and determination of their relatives cannot move their determination to be together. However, from ancient times to the present, hundreds of years of history, how many people can really do what they do?

"Sister, sister."

"Hmm." Mo Yu came back to her senses and watched Fu Zhaoyuan stretch out his fingers and shake in front of her, so he smiled: "The blow is very good, I'm a little intoxicated." You have someone in your heart, can you tell me who it is? ”

Fu Zhaoyuan put down the wooden flute and said, "It's just a tune, where can it explain something, the women in your palace are really cranky." ”

The women in the palace are the most boring, and they can't do it without thinking about it. If you don't do anything, don't think about anything, and within two months, you will become a puppet. "If you don't want to say it, forget it. However, if you meet a girl you like, you will boldly chase it, and if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Marriage is the cause planted in the previous life, and it should be cherished. Don't wait until you lose it to know how to redeem it, even if you do more for her, it will be a pity. ”

"Sister, do you have anyone you like?"

Mo Yu flicked his hand on the tea lid and said lightly: "I loved it before, but I don't love it now." ”

"Why?" Fu Zhaoyuan asked suspiciously.

Mo Yu raised his head, looked at the white vast world outside the hall, and said, "It's also such a snowy day, he died." It was also such a snowy day that he abandoned her.

Fu Zhaoyuan seemed to be able to guess who Mo Yu's loved person was, but it would not be the current emperor. "Does that sister have any regrets?" I regret entering the palace and regret missing him.

"I don't regret it, but I have regrets. can't be together, not because they don't love enough, but because it's destined in their previous lives. ”

"I'm sorry, sister. It reminds you of something sad. ”

Mo Yu shook his head, smiled meaninglessly, and said, "It's already been put down, it's nothing." By the way, lunch time is approaching, do you want to eat with me, or do you want to talk to the queen? ”

Fu Zhaoyuan looked at the sky outside the hall, stood up, and said, "I'd better go to the queen's mother, we still have a lot to talk about!" ”

"Okay, then I won't keep you." Mo Yu got up and sent him to the door.

"Then, sister, I'll go first, and I'll come to see you when I'm free."

"Okay."

Fu Zhaoyuan "kicked" down the steps, Mo Yu wanted to say that he should walk slowly, but after thinking about it, there was no need, he was behind the door, and it was trivial to go up the tree, what was this. But seeing Fu Zhaoyuan walking to the bottom of the steps, his footsteps stopped, turned his head to look at Moyu above, and said with a little sadness: "Sister, I'm sorry." ”

I don't know where this "I'm sorry" came from, and Moyu was very puzzled. Fu Zhaoyuan continued to explain: "I mean, I'm sorry for what happened last time. ”

"It's okay, I forgot." Mo Yu said lightly.

Fu Zhaoyuan didn't seem to show much joy, and said softly: "Sister, take care." After speaking, he turned his head and strode towards the outside of the Jade Immortal Palace.

This "take care" sound, like a farewell, Moyu stood in place, and secretly said "take care" in her heart. No one knows if this farewell will be able to see each other again in the future, maybe just like her and Yetian, after that snowy night, there will be no chance to see each other again in the future.

Although it is the Spring Festival, the guards in the palace who are responsible for the security of the palace still can't be lazy. Because it is the Spring Festival, the number of people entering and leaving the palace is not only large but also complicated. There are officials from all over the country who want to congratulate them, and the relatives of the masters of the palace want to visit, and all kinds of relationships must move around each other, and the palace doors are wide open, and people who enter and exit are strictly checked. Even the congratulatory gifts you bring with you can't let go.

--------------------------------

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the Jade Immortal Palace finally welcomed a second visitor.

The one who came to visit turned out to be the old lady of the Ji family.

Mo Yu sat opposite him, poured tea, and said, "It's rare that the old lady still remembers Mo Yu, and when the New Year is about to end, come to me to pay a greeting to my old age." ”

Liu Yeqing, the granddaughter-in-law sitting on the side, was holding a little girl in her arms, she hadn't seen her for more than a year, and the child had grown so big. The two big black eyes looked at Mo Yu curiously, as if they were thinking about whether this sister looked familiar, whether she had seen it somewhere. Liu Yeqing said with a smile: "The old lady has long wanted to come to pay New Year's greetings to her mother, but she is busy during the Spring Festival, so she can't come until now." ”

Is it really busy, who knows? Mo Yu also followed her words and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, my sister-in-law is doing well, how is her health?" ”

"Thanks to my mother's favor, I am almost better, and I feel much better than before." Then he lowered his head to look at the little girl in his arms, and led her to say, "Pearl, this is my sister, you saw it last year." ”

The little girl didn't have any impression of Moyu, so she shouted at her sister-in-law's words, "Hello sister." ”

The old lady on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Pearl, don't be unreasonable, call Niangniang." ”

The little girl doesn't seem to know what happened, so why is grandma unhappy again? So they lowered their heads in fear and clasped their hands at each other, at a loss. Mo Yu smiled: "Child, you can call it whatever you like!" Is her mother doing well? ”

Originally, Mo Yu shouldn't have asked about this, nominally, Pearl's mother was also her aunt. Besides, a daughter who marries out should not ask about the affairs of her mother's family, and a noble concubine should not ask about the affairs of a concubine. But Moyu just asked, and it was a casual question.

The old lady said: "The person who takes care of the concubine Niangniang herself is naturally doing well, please rest assured." ”

This mocking sentence, Mo Yu didn't hear it. She didn't argue, took a sip of the tea in front of her, and then said to Tian'er behind her: "Prepare a few pastries and lead them to the side hall to rest!" ”

"Yes."

Liu Yeqing also knew that the old lady had something to say to the concubine alone, so she got up with interest and said, "The concubine retires." Then he took the pearl and went out of the main hall.

When only the old lady and Mo Yu were left in the hall, Mo Yu asked in a deep voice: "The old lady came today, but not just to give me New Year's greetings!" "She wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that she had come with pearls to-day just to make them talk about their sisterhood.

"Yes, I came today, New Year's greetings are one of them, and the other is to seek a great cause with my mother."

"Hmph." Mo Yu smiled: "Conspiracy? I am now a concubine who has fallen out of favor, and what a great career I am making. The old lady came to me, why don't you go to the virtuous concubine? ”

"If she could have done it, she wouldn't have ended up where she is today."

"When it's useful, she's a treasure. When it's useless, she's a grass. I don't know if this is an honor or a sadness as a woman of the Ji family? ”

Old Madam Ji stood up, walked to the door of the hall, and looked at the white snow in early spring, her voice was as cold as this day. "The concubine can take a look, what a beautiful scenery this Jade Immortal Palace used to be, and the palace people who walked wanted to get closer and get a little extravagant. But now you see, the courtyard is cool, no one cares, and the palace people can't avoid it. Although you still have the title of concubine now, the longer it is deserted here, the emperor will slowly forget about you, and when the time comes, this place will be like a cold palace, and you will be in this cold palace, lonely and old. ”

Mo Yu smiled indifferently and said, "If you are lonely and old, you can at least live a little longer." In a desperate gamble, the slightest mistake is that there are no bones left, and there is no catastrophe. Old lady, even if this place is going to be a cold palace, I want to live a little longer. "As long as he is alive, he will still have the opportunity to see his son.

"Even if you don't care about personal honor and disgrace, what about the Ji family? The Ji family is your maiden family, it was we who sent you to the palace, and you have today's status, why, now you want to protect yourself? Do you think it's possible? ”

Mo Yu slowly fiddled with the tea lid in his hand and said softly: "All I want in my life is freedom." The supreme glory, the grace of heaven, and the position of power that you have asked for are nothing but a passing thing in my eyes. Why I entered the palace in the first place, the old lady is clear. If it weren't for the variables, I would have been a white bone now, wouldn't it be ridiculous for you to come to me today to say something like wise and ungrateful to protect oneself? She turned her head, looked up at the old man standing upright in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Old lady, people are watching the sky, what you do today is really a blessing for your descendants?" How do you know that you are not doing evil to your descendants? ”

"Shut up." The old lady trembled and turned around, not because she was afraid, but because she was angry, and she was extremely angry. "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson."

"I'm not lecturing you, I'm just telling you a fact. At the beginning, I told Master Ji that if I wanted to save the Ji family, then I would unload my armor and return to the field, away from the court. But you didn't listen, now that the emperor is going to move the Ji family, you came to find me, a concubine who has fallen out of favor, and it's too late to make amends. Do you think the emperor snubbed me because I had a fight with him? Do you think it's because my child was lost? No, it's neither. You underestimate him too much to be deceived by his illusions. He moved the Ji family, and it had nothing to do with my sole favorite. He snubbed me because he knew you were going to come to me. Old lady, you are too calculating, too good at using people's hearts, but you have forgotten who he is. He is an emperor, and the emperor is ruthless. ”

Mo Yu could clearly see the old lady's body swaying violently, this woman who had calculated all her life even counted her own relatives. But she has never seriously calculated the most powerful man in the Zhou Kingdom, the man who holds the power of life and death, he is the supreme ruler of the Zhou Kingdom.

Putting down the teacup, Mo Yu stood up, walked up to the old lady, and continued: "Old lady, you bet on the wrong gamble at the beginning, you think that with the queen mother as a backer, the Ji family will never fall." When you're in the game, you can't see your situation clearly. How can others be allowed to sleep next to the couch, even if the queen mother is noble, but she is only a relative, since ancient times, the emperor is the most taboo of the dictatorship of relatives, not to mention that the queen mother still has an army that can threaten the emperor, how can the emperor allow such a force to exist. Even if the Guo clan doesn't commit crimes, they will definitely fall. But what about you? You self-righteously think that with the queen mother, the big backer, plus the mother and son of the virtuous concubine, you can still gain a foothold in the court. You are stupid enough to threaten the emperor with such a thing as military salaries in order to change the throne, which is simply killing yourself. ”

In the past, I thought it was a chess path that I had carefully arranged, but I didn't want Moyu to say this, it turned out that I was trapped in the chess game. But there are no regrets, what's the use of talking about it now.

Old Madam Ji closed her eyes in despair, and then slowly opened them, and suddenly sat on the stool weakly like a wilted stamen. "But now, we have no way out."

"It's true that there is no way out, the emperor moves the Ji family, in fact, it is the same as the Guo family, but it is just killing chickens and making an example of monkeys. Most of the power of the court was concentrated in the hands of the big families, and the politics were chaotic and the officials were redundant. He has been purging the court for a long time, and you didn't pay attention to the small fights before, so he had to take your sacrifice flag. Mo Yu turned around, looked at the old man in front of him, and said in a sympathetic voice: "Old lady, Zhou Guo is the world of the Chai family. The Ji family is just a courtier, and it is regarded as a matter of eating the king's food and bearing the king's worries, and there is no great cause. Only the emperor can seek great causes. ”

"There are also many people in the clan who have been implicated and imprisoned. Are you really dead? Aren't you afraid of being reviled by? ”

"Is there less gossip about me in the city of Tokyo now? I don't care about adding that either. Mrs. Ji, I still say the same thing, while there is still room for recovery in the matter, let it go! ”

Old Madam Ji sighed heavily and said, "What about your agreement with the Queen Mother?" ”

Mo Yu returned to the chair, poured a cup of tea, and said, "With my current condition, do you think I still have the heart to deal with the queen?" Behind the queen is the King of Wei, I am full and have nothing to do to make a feud with the King of Wei? Speaking of which, I also advise the old lady, don't deal with the queen, you can't afford to provoke her. With the current situation of the Ji family, it is already very difficult to deal with the emperor, so don't offend King Wei again. ”

"Ji Moyu." Old Madam Ji stood up and said coldly: "What you did today, you will definitely regret it in the future." Feng Shui takes turns, there will be a day when you beg us, don't blame us for not helping you when the time comes. ”

Mo Yu looked at the few tea leaves floating on the water in the white porcelain cup, like duckweed floating in the pond water, and couldn't catch it. Even if you catch it, it won't save your life. "If there is a day, I will have no regrets."

"Good, good. I hope you really have no regrets. ”

Outside the temple, the snow stopped. Mo Yu got up and walked into the courtyard, watching the figure of the old lady disappear into the white snow mist. When Ji Pearl was about to leave the corner, she turned her little head and looked at her deeply. That glance was as clean as this snow, and there was an innocent expression of curiosity on the little face.

I don't know if my son can speak now, I don't know what the first thing he said was, whether he called "Dad" or "Mother", his current little face must also have an innocent expression and a pair of clean eyes. (To be continued.) )
