Chapter Fifty-Six: Reveal the Cards

In the evening, after Moyu had dinner, she took out the Buddhist book given to her by the abbot and looked at it carefully. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe empty room was filled with only the flickering candles and the crisp sound of flipping books.

Xiang Rong came in and said, "Niangniang, Aunt Feng brought the third young lady to ask for peace." ”

The concubines in the general mansion have a humble status, and if they are not summoned, they can't go to other rooms to ask for peace casually. The Feng family is a concubine, so they can't see the imperial concubine casually, let alone take the initiative to ask for peace.

Mo Yu put down the book, although she was puzzled, but still said, "Please let her in!" Go and ask Biyue to cut a pot of tea. ”

"Yes."

Feng Shi led Ji Pearl in and curtsied. Mo Yu gave her a hand, let her get up, and pointed to the stool opposite her to sit down. Feng Shi was a little uncomfortable, he wanted to sit but didn't dare to sit, Mo Yu smiled: "Aunt Feng, sit down, I don't have so many rules here." ”

Aunt Feng laughed dryly and had to sit down. Mo Yu looked at the little child at her feet, this is her sister! It's so cute, I beckoned and said, "Pearl, come here." ”

Ji Pearl was still a child, and she didn't remember Moyu, so she thought she was a stranger, so she was a little scared and drilled into her mother's arms. Aunt Feng was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Niangniang, she's afraid of life." Then he coaxed the daughter in his arms: "Pearl, what did my mother tell you when I came, my mother saved your life and is your benefactor, go and kowtow to my mother." ”

The little girl opened her big black eyes and said timidly: "However, the old lady is afraid of her." ”

Today, she was also in the lobby, and when she saw the old lady saluting her, she thought that the old lady was afraid of her. Even the old lady is afraid of the person, then this person must be very terrifying. Mo Yu looked at Feng's pale face and said with a smile: "Pearl, come here, there are delicious pastries here." ”

This pastry was bought from outside by Xiang Rong, and at noon Mo Yu drank the medicine, feeling that his mouth was very bitter, and he wanted Rong to understand it and ran out to buy the pastry and came back. Mo Yu reached out and picked up a piece, stretched it out in front of the little girl, and tempted: "Come here, I'll give you food." ”

The temptation of food is great, especially for a little one over three years old. Sure enough, when Pearl smelled the fragrant pastry, fear could not resist the temptation, Xiao walked up to Moyu, took the pastry, and then trotted back into her mother's arms, turned around and smiled at her. Feng taught: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

The little girl finally spoke, and said in a milky voice: "Thank you, mother." ”

Mo Yu shook her head and said with a smile: "No, it's my sister." ”

The little girl wondered, isn't her sister Sister Jade? How did you change people? looked up at her mother suspiciously, but when she saw her mother nodding, she could only shout in confusion: "Sister." Then she opened her mouth and ate the pastry in her hand.

"Pearl is very good." Mo Yuzheng turned around, poured a cup of tea for Feng, and said, "Aunt Feng is here, but what's the matter?" ”

Feng was flattered by Moyu's action of serving her tea, usually only she served tea to others, how could she ask the imperial concubine to serve her tea, so she was frightened and wanted to get up and thank her. Mo Yu saw her thoughts, and hurriedly stopped: "Sit down, I don't have so many rules." ”

"Thank you, mother. In fact, the concubine came today, and there was nothing to do, I just wanted to thank my mother for saving our pearls last time. ”

Mo Yu put down the teacup and said, "Haven't you already thanked you for this?" There's no need to run again, but I like you to bring the pearls here. "Moyu is the imperial concubine, if she takes the initiative to go to the courtyard of one of her mother's concubines, it will be inconsistent. Seeing that the little girl had finished eating a piece of pastry, she simply picked up the plate and gave her the whole plate. The little girl was smarter, and with her little mouth full of pastry powder, she said, "Thank you, sister." ”

"It's so cute." She also has an older brother, and she could have been favored by her brother like a pearl. Unfortunately, there is no blessing in fate. "When was her birthday?"

"August 25."

Mo Yu nodded slightly, "Children born in August, just like the autumn weather, can always give people a comfortable feeling. Pearl must be a careful, quiet and filial child in the future. ”

Feng touched the little girl's horns, and his kind face was full of love. "I just want her to be a healthy child and live her life in peace."

Health and safety are the greatest luxury for a family like theirs. Mo Yu smiled: "It will definitely be." ”

Feng touched the child's head with one hand and the teacup in his hand with the other, glanced at Moyu, but looked at Moyu in the eyes of her, and looked away in a panic. Mo Yuxiu frowned slightly, and said, "Auntie, what do you have to say to me?" ”

"I didn't ...... No, I just want to thank my mother. ”

I was nervous and stammered, and said it was okay. "Really? You've thanked you many times. ”

"Oh, that'...... Then I'm fine, it's not early, the slave doesn't disturb the mother's rest, and retires first. ”

"Hey......"

As soon as he said go, Feng Shi hugged the pearl and hurriedly walked out of Mo Lanxuan, as if there was a flood beast behind him. Mo Yu shouted, "Aunt Feng, wait a minute. Then he gave Biyue a clear look.

When Feng heard the shout, he stood still, and the hand holding the pearl couldn't help but clench. Mo Yu walked up to Aunt Feng and said with a smile: "There is a gift here, it should be my birthday gift to Pearl, although it has been too late, I hope you don't mind, there is always a time when it will be useful." ”

Biyue handed a box to Feng's hand and took a step back to stand. Aunt Feng was very uncomfortable and said, "Niangniang, this is too troublesome for you." ”

"I gave it to Pearl."

"Well, thank you, mother. The concubine took her leave. ”

"Hmm."

Seeing Feng flee and disappear into the night, Mo Yu sighed helplessly. Turning to look at the group of people behind Shen, there are some things that must be solved before returning to the palace, so he condensed the smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "Yunsheng, you come in, and the others go out, how far away and far." ”

Feng Shi wanted to say something to her just now, but the reason why he didn't say it was because Yunshang suddenly appeared at the door. Feng Shi knew some secret, and there was Yunshang in the secret here, so when he saw her, he was instinctively nervous and didn't dare to say anything more.

After entering the house, Moyu sat down, poured a cup of tea, looked at Yunshang standing in front of him, and said lightly: "Sit down!" Then he suddenly said loudly: "If you don't leave, you don't have to go back to the palace." Xiang Rong and Biyue, who were so frightened that they hid under the window, could only leave in disgrace.

"Mother, it's time for you to drink the medicine." Yun Sheng put down the tray in his hand and brought a bowl of black medicine to Mo Yu.

Watching the heat slowly steaming from the bowl, Mo Yu reached out and took it, slowly stirred it for a while, and then drank it all in one go, it was really bitter. Why is the medicine made by God bitter? The patient's illness is already very painful, and he has to take bitter medicine, which is even more bitter.

"You can sit down too!" Yun Sheng sat down as she said, looked down at the tray in her hand, and listened to Mo Yu's voice, "This may be the last time you will serve me." ”

Yunshang raised her head in surprise, looked at her master, and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she could only squeeze the tray in her hand tightly, pursing her lips and frowning.

After rinsing his mouth with tea, his mouth was finally a little better, and Mo Yu said in a deep voice: "I am a temple, for you, after all, it is too small." It was really hard for you to stay in the mountains with me back then. ”

"Bang", the tray slipped from his hand, Yunshang knelt down suddenly, kowtowing and crying: "Niangniang, Yunshang knows that she is wrong, Yunshang is a ghost, so she will do those things to Niangniang." Yun Sheng regretted it very much, if Yun Sheng was given another chance, Yun Sheng would not do that even if he died. ”

"You have no relatives and no friends. I don't blame you for not destroying heaven and earth for yourself. It's just," looking at Yunsheng's constantly twitching back, Mo Yu clenched the fist in his hand and turned his face away. Yunshang is a smart woman, and she is still taking advantage of her weaknesses to make her soft-hearted. And at the beginning, Yunshang admitted his mistake and blocked Moyu's back road. However, she is not easy to handle, and she can't let others calculate everything. "If that arrow really killed me, would you still say these things today?"

Seeing that her body was shocked, she must not have thought about this problem. Mo Yu smiled faintly: "I guess you won't." ”

Yunshang raised his head, looked at his master silently and said, "Niangniang, you are the best master Yunshang has ever met." ”

Is it? If it's the best, what makes it easy for you to give up the best? "It's a pity that you don't want to be a master like me. Everyone has their own ambitions, their own ambitions, and their own hopes. What about you, Yunshang, what are you hoping for? ”

". I ......"

"Don't want to say it? Then let me ask you in another way, who is your master? ”

Yunshang was silent for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and Mo Yu drank tea, and changed one cup after drinking. Silence is sometimes the best way to chat, and I don't know how long it took, Yun Sheng raised her lips lightly and said, "It's Madame." ”

Yuan's? It can't be Yuan. "With the Yuan family's head, the old lady will never worry about letting the Yuan family explain such a critical task as a minion. Whether that dramatic assassination can succeed or not, the key lies in your push. If you push fast or slowly, you won't be able to hit the target. Your master is an old lady! ”

"I still can't escape the eyes of the mother, and the old lady thinks she is very smart! Hehe. ”

Mo Yu stood up, took scissors and cut the wick on the table, and said, "When did she pick you?" ”

"On the third day after my mother's return, the old lady found me, but I did not say yes at that time. Later, I followed Niangniang into the palace, and a few days before Niangniang's accident, when I left the palace, the old lady found me again. She promised me that after the matter was completed, she would ask the Queen Mother to arrange for me to leave the palace, so that I could get out of slavery and live again. ”

It's a joke. "You're not too young, and you're still so naΓ―ve. I'm dead, with their cruelty, will they leave you alive? Twenty Assassins didn't all die overnight, what they promised you, nothing. ”

Yunshang raised her head in shock and said incredulously, "How is it possible?" ”

Putting down the scissors, Mo Yu sat down again, and said with an evil smile: "The old lady can even use her granddaughter, and the queen mother can even kill her own daughter-in-law, which green onion are you." I wonder how much you know about this? ”

There's no point in hiding it, Yunshang simply confesses it. "They plan to let Niangniang enter the palace first, and they are deeply favored by the emperor. and then play a scene where a beauty saves a hero and dies, which makes the emperor feel guilty. The Ji family has great kindness to the current royal family, and coupled with the emperor's guilt, they can safely put the second lady on the throne of the queen. ”

No wonder, that night, neither early nor late, Yunshang pushed her out and blocked the arrow for the emperor, and their goal was her from beginning to end. "You know so much, it's as good as I guessed. The Queen Mother and them are really powerful, worthy of being people who have gone through strong winds and waves. Attacking the city, killing people, what a means! She was sure, can I be favored by the emperor? ”

"Even if it can't, the Queen Mother will arrange it."

Oh, yes! With the wisdom of the Queen Mother, it is not difficult to do this. Mo Yu walked to the door, looking at the dark night, I don't know when it started, she was a little afraid of the night, afraid of loneliness in the night. "I want to be there."

Xiang Rong heard the summons, hurriedly ran over, and asked, "Niangniang, what's the matter?" ”

"Go and bring Steward Ji here."

Steward Ji, why did you invite Steward Ji to come over at night! No matter, "Yes." ”

"You were kind when you used to be in the mountains. Never bear to kill a cicada, a butterfly, or even an ant. Since when did you become so ruthless that your hands were stained with blood? Mo Yu recalled the previous Yunshang, "At that time, Xiangrong always didn't like the mountain, and always thought about going down the mountain, but you are different, you are a bit like me, you are indifferent to everything, and you don't complain about living on the mountain." ”

Yunshang turned her head, looked at Moyu's back, and said quietly: "If I had been living in the mountains, I might not have any other thoughts. But God asked me to come back, and I thought I could live again, find someone to marry, and teach me husband and children. But you have entered the palace again, what hope can I have in the palace, I don't want to wait until I am twenty-five years old and leave the palace, I can only be a concubine for others. ”

Mo Yu turned around and said, "I asked you before entering the palace, and you volunteered. ”

"I don't have a choice." She is the old lady's favorite candidate, and she really has no choice.

"Yunshang, you make me feel scared now, I'm afraid of you."

With the first time, there will be a second time, and keeping such a person by your side is like placing a cannon on yourself, which will detonate at any time.

"Mother." There was a voice of desire from behind. Mo Yu turned to look at the corridor, Xiang Rong brought not Steward Ji, but a young man in his twenties, Mo Yu thought for a while and said, "You are Steward Ji's son Lai Wang!" ”

"The mother has good eyesight, and the slave is exactly. My father went out of the house to run errands, and he hasn't come back yet, so if my mother needs anything, she can tell the slave to do it. ”

"The great butler is really blessed to have a son like you. It's nothing, after I entered the palace, I rarely came back, and I couldn't do my filial piety in front of the old lady, and I felt very guilty. Yunshang in my yard is ingenious and clever, so let her serve the old lady instead of me! Tomorrow you have come and led the men. ”

"This ......" Ji Laiwang was a little embarrassed, what is Yunshang's identity, everyone knows, how can it be sent to the old lady in a good manner? But that's not something he's supposed to ask. "Now, do you want to ask the old lady first?"

Mo Yu nodded, "It's okay, it's not early, I'm afraid the old lady is also asleep, you can go and ask for instructions tomorrow morning!" But there is a sentence, I have to say that in the front, I naturally can't be the master of the affairs of this Jifu, but the things in my yard are still the master. ”

Ji Laiwang's back was shocked, and he bowed down and said, "Yes." ”

Early the next morning, Mo Yu got up early and quietly led people back to the palace without alarming anyone. As for Yunshang, she naturally stayed in Ji Mansion, anyway, she is gone, and what the old lady does with it is none of her business. But since it was Moyu who stayed in the name of filial piety, presumably the old lady would not be too embarrassed with her.
