Chapter 62: Parting
"Be careful. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info" Ling Tianxu told him in front of the palace gate.
Jiang Li persuaded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, King Jing spent such a big price to accept Lord Xiao as an apprentice, and he will not treat Lord Xiao badly." β
Xiao Liu echoed: "Lord Jiang is right, Your Majesty can rest assured." β
Xiao Mo only let Ling Tianxu take a few steps forward with her.
Xiao Mo looked at Ling Tianxu and said, "Remember my words, don't let down the Yan Kingdom." β
Ling Tianxu nodded and said, "Not for anything else, just to pick you up as soon as possible." β
Xiao Mo smiled: "Just send it here, it's still in Handu, and it's not that we can't see each other." With that, he turned around and walked outside the palace gate.
Ling Tianxu looked at it reluctantly, his eyebrows were full of sorrow, and he said to himself: "I want imperial power, and I want you." β
Out of the high walls of this deep palace, Xiao Mo was happy or worried, she still didn't know why King Jing was willing to pay such a big price, just to accept her as an apprentice.
Looking at the sky outside and the clouds were faint, Xiao Mo stopped.
The people from King Jing's Mansion greeted him: "Xiao Gongzi, please." β
Xiao Mo looked at the little maid, nodded his head, and was led by the little maid to board the carriage that came to pick her up.
But she wasn't alone in the carriage.
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and saluted: "See the prince." β
"I gave up Xunzhou Mansion, not to hear you call the prince."
"Division...... Master. Xiao Mo buried his head and shouted in a low voice, this title was really difficult to adapt to for a while.
There was only the sound of people and horses moving forward along the way, and the carriage was very quiet, Xiao Mo was like sitting on pins and needles, very uncomfortable, and when King Jing didn't speak, his face was like frost, which was enough to reject people for thousands of miles.
"Xiao Mo doesn't understand, why does the master want to take me as an apprentice?" Xiao Mo said tentatively, if he just wanted to separate himself from Ling Tianxu, then it would be enough to accept a doorman, no matter how close he was, he was also a protΓ©gΓ©, how could he be an apprentice.
"You'll find out later."
This can be regarded as an answer, but what makes Xiao Mo even more unclear is that she was not afraid of him in the past, why is she so restrained now, is it because when she becomes an apprentice, she will naturally be afraid of the master?
Should she regard King Jing as a master? She came to Yan Kingdom to help Ling Tianxu, and now that Ling Tianxu's foundation is not stable, she has become King Jing's apprentice.
Xiao Mo raised his eyes slightly and looked at King Jing, this person seemed to her to be the same as King Yan Jing when he first heard about it, Ling Tianxu said that he killed his brother and seized power, but he had been in power for so many years, and he had no intention of forcing the palace; Ling Tianxu said that the killer in Jinshan was sent by him, but Ling Tianxu returned to the palace and was unharmed until now; King Jing was a little arrogant, but he was polite and polite in front of Ling Tianxu, and he didn't mean to harm Ling Tianxu; Ling Tianxu said that he was insidious and ruthless and would poison her, but he saved her three times.
What kind of person is he......
Xiao Mo was absorbed until he realized that the gaze had been looking at her for a long time, and he came back to his senses in surprise and lowered his eyes.
"The palace is safer than the palace."
The sudden words that came out made Xiao Mo in a fog, and when he saw his gaze sinking, he glanced at the back of her hand before looking at it.
Xiao Mo looked down and saw that he was holding the sword given by Ling Tianxu, and a section of the scabbard was already warm.
It's not that she's wary, it's just a matter of being obsessed.
The carriage stopped, Xiao Mo followed King Jing out of the carriage, and King Jing's mansion was still as magnificent as the last time.
Last time, I saw the side door open, but now the main door is wide open, which adds a bit of momentum.
The guards in front of the door knelt down in unison: "Welcome to the prince." β
The housekeeper Li De greeted him: "The slave sees the prince, see Xiao Gongzi." β
Ling Hao looked back at Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo hurriedly said: "I know Steward Li, I've seen it before." β
Ling Hao nodded his head and moved into the palace.
Xiao Mo followed closely behind him.
"Xiao Gongzi is tired all the way, rest early, if you need anything in the future, just tell the minion."
Xiao Mo smiled: "I'm not working hard, but the prince, I entered the palace early in the morning to discuss politics, and I only came back now." "Besides, she didn't dare to call the Fourth Rank Commander easily.
"The prince specially went to pick up Xiao Gongzi."
Xiao Mo was surprised: "Really? Looking back, King Jing had already walked away, and there were two more entourages around him, one of whom had met twice before, outside the Xuan Pavilion where chess was played, there was also the Criminal Department, and the other was a little fresh.
"Who are they?"
"Listen to the wind and the clouds."
Xiao Mo suddenly remembered the two black-clothed men who rescued her last time, and asked again, "What...... What about the prince's secret guard? β
"Hidden Wind and Hidden Mist."
Xiao Mo was inconvenient to ask more when she first arrived, and she guessed that the people in King Jing's Mansion were somewhat wary of her, even if King Jing accepted an apprentice, he might not necessarily treat her as his own.
And in Xiao Mo's heart, she worshipped her teacher, and King Jing is not necessarily a master, as a teacher, he should lead by example, if his body is not right, how can he talk about teaching.
Xiao Mo didn't know anything else, but all the clues in King Ping's case pointed directly to him, was King Ping's death done by him?
Xiao Mo never gave up to find out, if it wasn't for him, she might have respected him as a teacher; If so, Xiao Mo doesn't know if she will choose to make the truth public, the truth is public, as Ling Tianxu said, King Jing will be ruined.
Xiao Mo hesitated, because he had saved her three times and was in danger of life and death, would she take revenge for Ling Tianxu's sake?
"Xiao Gongzi, the prince has ordered, Xiao Gongzi can come and go at will in the mansion, except for Yuehuatai."
"Wolkadai, where is it?"
"The prince lives in Yuehuatai, and the slaves in the house will take Xiao Gongzi to get acquainted with it slowly."
"There's a Steward of Laury." Xiao Mo said politely.
Except for the dormitory, you can't go to the dormitory, and the others can come and go at will, King Jing is so relieved about her?
This person, Xiao Mo can't see through it no matter what, and he seems to have seen through it, but fortunately, he didn't see through his identity.
Xiao Mo remembered that Xiao Liu said that King Jing is not close to women, but when I saw it today, sure enough, the people who came and went in this huge palace were all men, whether they were cleaning the courtyard or working back and forth, they were all family members, and there was not a single maid or wife.
King Jing, who avoided women, was willing to accept her as an apprentice, which also showed that although he saw her true face, he didn't see that she was a woman, so Xiao Mo was relieved.
King Jing's Mansion is also divided into the front court and the back court, listen to the housekeeper said, King Jing will only deal with some urgent political affairs in the palace, most of them go to the regent's palace to listen to the ministers' play, King Jing never entertains guests in the palace, and does not like to be disturbed by anyone on weekdays, only when the urgent report arrives, the front court will be used for political purposes.
And the backyard of the palace is better than any garden that Xiao Mo has ever seen, the landscape pavilion, the Yuyu Qionglou, like a natural picture scroll, walking in the corridor, as in the painting, even the imperial garden of the Qi Palace is much inferior to it.
With such a big mansion, King Jing lives alone, won't he be too lonely, King Jing always gives people an inexplicable sense of alienation, is it because he has been alone for a long time?
Walking around in the backyard, King Jing has long been gone, Steward Li took Xiao Mo to the residence, which is a place called Shuangxue Residence, Xiao Mo can't like it when she sees the word "snow", and she always can't help but think of a person who makes her hate to the core, but since it is King Jing's arrangement, she has to pretend to accept it gladly.
