Chapter 354: Searching the Palace
"Do you remember the last time we went to Zhu Xing's house, Li Zhong was strange?"
Mo Ziyuan nodded and frowned: "After I came back, I asked Jin Dong to investigate Li Zhong, and found that Li Zhong did not have much connection with the Zhao family, just from the villagers, and usually only nodded friends......"
Mo Ziyuan didn't finish his words, but Xu Zigui understood where she paused, usually just nodding her head, why was Li Zhong's expression of love excited when they went last time? first was excited about the rumors, and then he was concerned about Di'er, judging from Li Zhong, who Mo Ziyuan investigated later, he didn't look like a person.
"You say...... Could there be some conspiracy in this? Or did they expect that we would definitely go to Zhu Xing's house, and bought Li Zhong early and let him confuse us with lies? ”
Mo Ziyuan squinted his eyes, thought carefully about the things of these days, frowned and shook his head: "Probably not, what Li Zhong told us is true, these can be seen from Lan Xiang's questioning of Zhu Xing these days, if it is a fake Zhu Xing, it will definitely be debunked." ”
"This is the reason why Zhu Xing has never been worried," Xu Zigui frowned, still thinking that there must be something greasy in it: "Otherwise, why doesn't Zhu Xing worry about her Lao Tzu?" ”
Mo Ziyuan shook his head, patted Xu Zigui's head, thought about it, and said: "Li Zhong does have a problem, but what she said should be true, you see that he is excited, it doesn't look like he is pretending...... I asked Jin Dong to check on Li Zhong again. ”
Xu Zigui nodded and reminded: "It's best to send someone to watch him." ”
"I know." Mo Ziyuan nodded, patted Xu Zigui's head, and sighed: "Hurry up and make the bed, I haven't slept well these days, and I have a good rest here today." ”
Xu Zigui nodded, didn't call anyone, took the futon to shop in person, and gossiped with Mo Ziyuan with a smile: "Ming'er, you have to get up earlier and sneak back to the outer study, and go to the early dynasty from the outer study, so tossing back and forth, you don't have to be troublesome." ”
"It's very troublesome," Mo Ziyuan also bent down to help Xu Zigui make the bed together, and said with a smile: "I can't sleep well in the study outside, and I can rest well here for a while, it's all about the same." ”
Xu Zigui nodded with a smile, stood up straight and gave Mo Ziyuan a big hug, pun intended: "Husband has worked hard." ”
Xu Zigui's sentence is hard, you don't have to guess, Mo Ziyuan can see it from Xu Zigui's evil smile on his face. glared at him and said with a smile: "Urge the narrow ghost, it's very hard to endure, otherwise you will vent your anger tonight?" ”
Then, Xu Zigui finally knew what it meant to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. Didn't this man say that he had been tired for the past few days and that it was not good to rest! Why is the energy still so strong!
The next morning, when Mo Ziyuan got up, he was cautious, trying not to wake Xu Zigui. In the past few days, Mo Ziyuan has not been with him, and he knows that the East Palace is not peaceful now, and he is always tense with a nerve, and he has not slept well. Last night, Mo Ziyuan slept here, and Xu Zigui's little heart relaxed slightly, and he slept soundly.
Mo Ziyuan looked at Xu Zigui's sleeping face, smiled and kissed her lightly on the forehead, and was about to get up and get dressed, when he heard a noise outside, and then heard Lan Xiang's voice: "Sixth master, you can't go in, our mother is still sleeping at this time." ”
Mo Chengyuan is here? Mo Ziyuan frowned, it seemed that he didn't come alone, but he still brought a lot of people over. What did he do here?
"What's wrong?" It's noisy outside, Xu Zigui is no matter how good the quality of sleep is, this time he should be woken up, not to mention that these days he has been nervous and a little unsteady, he originally wanted to have a good night's sleep today, but he was woken up halfway, Xu Zigui suddenly collapsed when he got up, and yelled outside: "Who is messing outside?" Lan Xiang dragged down the cane to the palace and scolded forty times and expelled him from the East Palace! ”
Xu Zigui got up angrily, and the people in the entire East Palace were afraid.
After looking at Xu Zigui with a smile for a while, Mo Ziyuan covered Xu Zigui's mouth with one hand, and she got up angry and revealed her stuffing in a daze: "Don't talk yet, listen to me." ”
Seeing Mo Ziyuan like this, Xu Zigui didn't have any anger to get up for a while, after all, Mo Ziyuan was a little nervous in his eyes, which meant that this matter was not easy to handle.
nodded, motioned for Mo Ziyuan to let himself speak, and heard Mo Chengyuan's voice outside: "Imperial sister-in-law, the younger brother has just entered the palace to prepare for the court, but he met an assassin on the way to the Taihe Palace, and now he is ordered to lead troops to search the palaces, and also ask the imperial sister-in-law to cooperate." ”
The implication is that he was ordered to search the palaces, and if Xu Zigui did not cooperate, it would be regarded as disrespect.
It seems that he got the rumor and thought that Mo Ziyuan might be in the main hall, and at this time he brought someone to search. Xu Zigui sneered, this is a trick for himself.
Turning his head to glance at Mo Ziyuan, he asked in a low voice, "What are the chances that you can escape?" ”
"Zero." Mo Ziyuan pursed his lips and said lightly: "Since he is here to search, he must have set up his own people all around, just waiting for me to escape and be caught." ”
Besides, Tete ran to the emperor and said that he had found an assassin, and he was now wearing a night coat on his body, and if he escaped, he would be speechless. Take 10,000 steps back, if he takes off this night robe now, when the time comes, he escapes and is arrested, and it will also give people a handle - what are you doing sneaking around from the window without going through the main entrance in your own palace?
In this way, it gave Mo Chengyuan a reason to search the palace. When you come to search the palace, you will inevitably find your own night clothes. At that time, there will still be no arguments.
Mo Ziyuan sneered, this Mo Chengyuan has two brushes.
Xu Zigui nodded, he understood the current predicament, and knew that the only way to do this was to keep him from coming in to search. Fortunately, Xu Zigui's identity is one piece higher than Mo Chengyuan, which is not very troublesome.
Glancing at Mo Ziyuan, Mo Ziyuan immediately lifted the quilt and hid in the quilt, in order to prepare for the final entry when he couldn't stop it from being discovered.
After Mo Ziyuan hid it, Xu Zigui said lazily: "In this way, there is no one else here except the main palace, you can take someone else." ”
After that, he instructed uneasily: "Huizhong is sleeping soundly this time, you should be careful in the southwest courtyard, don't scare Huizhong." ”
This sentence is obviously stabbing him, the daughter of the family, but this son is raised by her side, and every time he thinks of Huizhong, Mo Chengyuan has to review again how Liu Zijin died - Mo Chengyuan has always laughed at Mo Qingyuan's restlessness in the backyard and failed, but he didn't expect that the backyard relationship that he has always been proud of turned out to be killing each other in the end. It's not as good as Mo Qingyuan, at least the concubines and wives of other people are alive and well, but he is making a fuss here.
Mo Ziyuan hid in the quilt and listened to Xu Zigui's cautious revenge, and almost laughed out loud. It's just to disturb her sleep, she just stabbed him with this matter, it's no wonder that Mo Chengyuan is not depressed this time.
Sure enough, Mo Chengyuan's voice was already angry: "The younger brother is also for the safety of the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial sister-in-law still opened the door and asked the younger brother to go in and search, after all, the younger brother watched the assassin run in the direction of the imperial sister-in-law." ”
"Presumptuous!" As soon as Mo Chengyuan's words fell, Xu Zigui interrupted angrily: "Do you still know that you want to call the imperial sister-in-law of the palace, and the dormitory of the palace is also something you can enter casually?" Men and women can't be recognized, if the palace opens the door and asks you to come in, the reputation of the palace is or not! ”
After that, he raised his eyebrows, and according to the usual steps, Mo Chengyuan was going to say that he wanted to harbor the assassin.
sneered, and after Mo Ziyuan whispered: "Block his words" As soon as the words fell, Xu Zigui hooked the corners of his mouth and said loudly: "What? Could it be that the sixth brother still suspects that this palace is harboring assassins? This palace is not stupid, what did it do to harbor assassins? Let him stab the palace alone? ”
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Zigui's voice came out, Mo Chengyuan was choked outside, Xu Zigui didn't play cards according to the routine, and he really didn't know how to refute.
After being silent for a while, Mo Chengyuan was not confident enough to say: "The younger brother is also for the safety of the imperial sister-in-law......
"Hongu is safe now!" Without waiting for Mo Chengyuan to finish speaking, Xu Zigui interrupted loudly: "This palace advises you to leave quickly, otherwise the prince will come over after a while, and see that you have to enter the palace dormitory, and you will think about the consequences." ”
This sentence is actually implying that Jin Dong, who was guarding outside, was trying to create the illusion that Mo Ziyuan was coming over.
Jin Dong was not stupid, he naturally understood Xu Zigui's hint, and took advantage of the fact that those people who surrounded him were not paying attention, and secretly walked out of the gate of the main hall little by little, and straightened up in a place where others did not pay attention, walked towards the main hall, stood at the door of the main hall and shouted: "What are you doing? ”
Mo Chengyuan knew Jin Dong, after seeing Jin Dong, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, according to reliable information, Mo Ziyuan should be in Xu Zigui's dormitory, as Mo Ziyuan's personal guard, this should be near Xu Zigui's dormitory to protect the safety of the two, how can you see him like this but he seems to come from the outer study? Could it be that the news is fake, Mo Ziyuan is not in the main hall?
"Why are you here? What about the big brother? Mo Chengyuan made up his mind and wanted to see the flaws in this.
Jin Dong can follow Mo Ziyuan's side for so many years, and he can be trusted by Mo Ziyuan, so he naturally has a certain ability. Seeing Mo Chengyuan's appearance, a trace of sarcasm flashed quickly in his eyes, and he said: "His Royal Highness has already gone to the Taihe Palace, and only then did he hear that the sixth master came to the East Palace with the guards, so he sent the ministers over to take a look." ”
Mo Chengyuan brought people to search the palace, if Mo Ziyuan didn't show up again, it was indeed a little unreasonable-even if Xu Zigui and Mo Ziyuan quarreled no matter how much they quarreled, but the inside was the inside, the face was the face, and his own woman still didn't allow others to bully.
Mo Chengyuan originally wanted to confirm whether Mo Ziyuan was on Xu Zigui's side, whether the two of them were making a show, and whether the red sleeves were the spies they sent over, but this time Xu Zigui refused to let him in, and Jin Dong came over from the outer study, so he didn't know whether to continue to persevere.
Mo Ziyuan touched Xu Zigui and motioned for Xu Zigui to look at him, Xu Zigui looked down at Mo Ziyuan, and Mo Ziyuan said in a low voice: "If you don't let Xiaoliu in, he still doesn't believe that we are really arguing." ”
Xu Zigui nodded, she knew this, but she just let a foreign man rashly enter her bedroom and spread her reputation after she spread it? But if he wasn't allowed to come in, he would never really believe in Red Sleeves, and he was really reluctant to let the child trap the wolf.
This Mo Chengyuan didn't have any good intentions, he must have come here under the banner of ruining his reputation, besides, Mo Ziyuan was wearing a night coat at this time, even if he took it off and hid it, since he came in, can he not search? How to explain the search for night clothes?
It's just that these thorny problems seem to outsiders, but they can't be difficult for Mo Ziyuan. Seeing Xu Zigui's embarrassed face, he whispered: "Wouldn't it be good for you to ask him to find a palace maid to come in and take a look." ”
After waking up the dreamer with a word, Xu Zigui excitedly leaned over Mo Ziyuan and kissed him, then said as if compromised: "Little Liu, this palace also knows that you are acting on orders, and it also knows that you are embarrassed, and this matter has also alarmed the prince...... I'm not afraid of your jokes, you also know what this palace is doing with the prince these days......"
As he spoke, his voice was mixed with sadness: "If you let him know that you broke into the dormitory of the main palace, the situation will only get worse." ”
After that, he said as if compromised: "In this way, you can find a trustworthy maid to come in and take a look, which can be regarded as proof that the assassin is not here." ”
This is already Xu Zigui's greatest limit of forbearance. Mo Chengyuan could hear it from his tone. At this time, when he saw Jin Dong, Mo Chengyuan's heart had already begun to waver, and when he heard Xu Zigui say this, he naturally would not ask to go in person on the basis of reason. After all, if you want to enter Xu Zigui's bedroom to search, you are also at your own expense, how can any brother-in-law go to your sister-in-law's bedroom to search, not to mention that people haven't gotten up yet.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Mo Chengyuan clasped his fists and saluted the door, and said, "In this case, the younger brother might as well let Zhu Xing come over and take a look." ”
Zhu Xing is Mo Chengyuan's person, and there is an inextricable relationship, Mo Chengyuan believes in Zhu Xing very much. Xu Zigui sneered and let Zhu Xing come over, which was to relieve Zhu Xing's grounding in disguise, and let him see if Zhu Xing was doing well, which was really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
But Xu Zigui doesn't care, what can she do if she is doing well? Since he wanted to see it, she let her see it. One by one, command
"Panxiang, go find Zhu Xing."
Pan Xiang should be, and walked quickly towards the kitchen. After a while, Panxiang brought Zhu Xing over. Zhu Xing's eyes were full of sarcasm and indifference when she looked at Mo Chengyuan, and Mo Chengyuan was naturally embarrassed when she saw Zhu Xing, so she hurriedly said what she was looking for, and waved her in.
Zhu Xing snorted coldly, although she didn't look down on Mo Chengyuan's cowardice, but after all, she was a slave, and she still had to do what her master ordered, so she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and as soon as Mo Chengyuan's voice fell, she turned her head and entered Xu Zigui's bedroom.
The left and right factions are not good people, and it would be a good thing if they could use this to overthrow both factions. (To be continued.) )
