93, the emperor's thoughts

Nangong Mo walked out of the firewood room and stopped as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard. After being silent for a moment, he said lightly: Which master, since he is here, why don't you show up?

Hearing Nangong Mo's words, it was not the unknown master hidden in the shadows who moved first, but the guards of the Zixiao Hall hidden in the corner of the courtyard. In a moment, seven or eight guards were already standing in the courtyard, looking around vigilantly. They didn't find any trace of each other, if it wasn't Miss Nangong who was mistaken, then the other party was indeed a master that none of them could match.

There was silence in the courtyard for a while, and just when Nangong Mo was a little impatient, a low laugh sounded, Xiao Mo'er, it's so powerful. I was able to find traces of this seat. With a black shadow, Gong Yuchen appeared on the wall of the courtyard. Seeing the person coming, Nangong Mo frowned. These days, she has fully understood the difficulty and ruthlessness of Gong Yuchen. Just looking at Zhang Dingfang being cheated by him, he didn't even know that this person was not a good person, and the most important thing was that the martial arts of this product were actually very strong.

His eyes drooped slightly, and Nangong Mo said lightly: Palace Pavilion Master, what do you want to do?

Gong Yuchen sighed and said: I really want to say that I came because I missed Mo'er. Pity... This seat is to want a person.

Nangong Mo's eyes flashed, and he said clearly: "Xiushui Fairy?"

Gong Yuchen said with a smile: The poison fairy has eyes and doesn't know that Taishan has offended Xiao Mo'er, and I hope you will give this seat a face and spare his life. How about this seat owes you a favor? Nangong Mo smiled faintly and said: The palace master said that he laughed, I don't really like others to owe me favors. Especially when the other party is likely to be an enemy, because that means that there is an eighty percent chance that this person's favor may not be recovered.

Gong Yuchen's eyes were slightly sunken, staring at Nangong Mo's calm face and said: So, Xiao Mo'er doesn't plan to give this seat this face. Just with these few pieces of waste... Is it the opponent of this seat?

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, the palace lord wants to grab it?

Gong Yuchen is very helpless, if you promise to take someone with you, you will naturally not have to rob it.

Nangong Mo said with a smile: Since this is the case, the pavilion master is not afraid to try.

Gong Yuchen looked at her with interest and said: Is it really no problem to do it here? I don't care about this one, but... After the fight, Mo'er's embroidery workshop probably won't be able to open, right? If the government knows that there are so many masters hidden in a small embroidery workshop, not to mention that the business of this embroidery workshop cannot be done, I am afraid that even the owner of the embroidery workshop will be in trouble. It is precisely because of this that Gong Yuchen chose to come to ask for someone at this time.

Nangong Mo groaned, Lin Changfeng's voice came from behind him, and said with a smile: Is the palace master here for the Xiushui Fairy? No problem, the fairy can give it back to you.

Gong Yuchen raised his eyes to look at Lin Changfeng, who came out from behind with a smile on his face, and said suspiciously: Oh? Will Hall Master Lin be so generous?

Lin Changfeng waved his hand and said: What is this? Miss Mo is not interested in the Xiushui Fairy, doesn't this son have to feed her food if she keeps her? The palace lord wants to take it. Come on, bring the water fairy out. After a while, two guards walked out with the Xiushui Fairy. Throwing it to the ground, the Xiushui Fairy, who was still arrogant in front of Nangong Mo, let out a miserable scream. The hem of the two sleeves was stained with blood, and although it was covered by the sleeves, it could be seen that there was nothing under the sleeves. Gong Yuchen's face sank, and he stared at Lin Changfeng with a gloomy expression, you are fooling me!

Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said: Doesn't the palace master want to show off the water fairy? Isn't this a show fairy?

Gong Yuchen snorted lightly, what he wants is a Xiushui fairy who can make poison and poison, can a poison fairy be called a poison fairy without his hands? His water pavilion is not a place where all garbage and waste are collected.

Lin Hall Lord is a good means! Gong Yuchen said coldly. Lin Changfeng said with a smile: Falsely praised, who let her offend people who shouldn't be offended. If she is allowed to walk out with such a swagger, where will I put the face of Zixiao Palace? The main person of the palace is here, please take it for you, right? Gong Yuchen glanced at the Xiushui Fairy who was lying on the ground and looking at him eagerly in disgust, snorted coldly and turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Lin Changfeng looked at the Xiushui Fairy with a smile and said: It seems that the palace master is not interested in the Xiushui Fairy anymore. It's a pity, I thought that the palace master could help Ben Gongzi take people out. Case... Whoever you want, throw them out of the city. That's right... Don't forget to tell your friends on the rivers and lakes, Xiushui Fairy... Well, you can't poison it again in the future, so let's rest assured.

Xiushui Fairy's eyes staring at Lin Changfeng can shoot poisonous arrows, where is this to reassure the people in the rivers and lakes, it is clearly to remind the people in the rivers and lakes to come to her for revenge quickly.

Glancing at Nangong Mo who was standing next to him with a calm face, Xiushui Fairy hated and said: Nangong Mo, you are ruthless enough!

Nangong Moxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the angry woman in front of her lightly. You said quietly: Is it possible that the poison fairy thinks that I will repay my grievances with virtue? Even now, even if you are afraid of the poison fairy, you may not have thought about what would happen if Nangong Mo was just an ordinary woman, if your plan became Nangong Mo's fate, right? People like you, don't say that you offended me, even if you didn't offend me, if you meet me, I will kill you like I'm in a bad mood.

You! If you meet the kind of woman who thinks she is kind and righteous, she can still scold a few words, but it is a pity that she meets Nangong Mo who never thinks she is kind and righteous, even if she is a famous poison fairy, she has to think that she is unlucky. I can't even scold if I want to be angry.

Take it down, what are you talking about with her? Lin Changfeng waved his hand, not caring about the authenticity.

The guards cleanly pointed the person out of the acupoint, and Lin Changfeng looked at Nangong Mo and frowned and said: How can this Gong Yuchen seem to be ghostly recently. It didn't appear on the rivers and lakes once in several years before, but now it is running to Jinling one after another. Nothing good must be good, Miss Mo, be careful. Nangong Mo nodded and said: Don't worry, what he wants to do in Jinling City will also weigh one or two. Besides, I'm not a vegetarian either.

Thinking of Nangong Mo's martial arts, Lin Changfeng was also a little relieved. Just advised: Anyway, you better be careful.

Thanks to Lin Changfeng's reminder, Nangong Mo turned around and walked out of the embroidery workshop. As soon as I went out, I saw the turn of the opposite street corner, and Gong Yuchen was lazily leaning against the wall and looking at her with a smile. Nangong Mo glanced at him calmly, turned around and walked in the direction of the Duke of Chu's mansion. When he walked to the next street corner, he saw Gong Yuchen standing on the corner of the street in the same posture and looking at him with a smile. Nangong Mo thought for a moment, then turned around and entered a teahouse beside him.

Just sat down for a while, and sure enough, I saw Gong Yuchen strolling up. walked to Nangong Mo's side and sat down by himself, and said with a smile: Xiao Mo'er, long time no see.

Nangong Mo frowned, and finally felt unbearable, and said, "Palace Pavilion Master, can you choose a normal title?"

Gong Yuchen was puzzled, what kind of title is normal?

If you can, please call me Miss Nangong. Nangong Modao. Gong Yuchen thought about it for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: This seat still thinks Xiao Mo'er is very good, or... Little Momo?

Momo, you sister!

Palace Pavilion Master, do you particularly want someone to call you Xiao Chenchen or something? Nangong Mo put down the teacup and asked. Gong Yuchen said with a smile: If Xiao Mo'er likes it, of course it is okay. Nangong Mo looked him up and down for a moment, nodded and said: I understand, did the palace master lack love when he was a child. But... I'm young, and I'm not your mother. It's better to do this kind of thing to the elders.

Gong Yuchen was not angry, but just looked at Nangong Mo fixedly. After a long time, he suddenly laughed lowly. It seemed that the more he laughed, the more funny he felt, so he almost laughed and fell on the table, looked at Nangong Mo and said with a smile: Xiao Mo'er, you are really interesting... It's been a long time since I've met someone as interesting as you. What should I do, I suddenly want to take you back and hide it.

Nangong Mo looked at him and sneered: Really? Does the palace master really dare?

Gong Yuchen's laughter stopped abruptly, and he stared at Nangong Modao: What does Mo'er mean by this?

Nangong Modao: It's not interesting, it's just... If I want to do something that I don't want to be known, I will never bring an enemy back to my home.

Enemy? Gong Yuchen sighed in a low voice: This seat doesn't want to be an enemy with Xiao Mo'er at all. Nangong Mo looked at him mockingly, and from beginning to end, he didn't see where Gong Yuchen didn't want to be her enemy. Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and looked at the tea on the table in front of him: Palace Pavilion Master, if you have anything to say, just say it straightforwardly. Procrastination is not your style.

Gong Yuchen sighed, this seat said that he just didn't want you to marry Wei Junmo, you don't believe it.

Believe. Nangong Mo nodded, hasn't the palace pavilion master always been planning against Jun Mo?

Jun Mo? Hearing her name, Gong Yuchen repeated it with some playfulness, and said: This seat is against him? Didn't he oppose this seat?

Nangong Mo glanced at him a little strangely and said: Palace Pavilion Master, if you have any thoughts about Jun Mo, it is a matter between you and him, please don't always come to pester me.

…… Why do you think this sentence is so strange? Gong Yuchen looked at Nangong Mo with a somewhat strange expression. Nangong Mo looked back at him calmly, silent. Just when the two were quietly confronting each other, the sound of calm footsteps came from the staircase, and the two looked back together, and after a while, they saw Wei Junmo standing at the top of the staircase with an indifferent expression in green clothes.

Gong Yuchen frowned, and said in a low voice: It's really ghostly.

Nangong Mo was speechless, Palace Pavilion Master, isn't this what you're talking about? Who the hell is haunted.

Gong Yuchen didn't wait for Wei Junmo to speak, he got up directly and turned out of the window next to him, and walked away without even saying hello.

Wei Junmo walked over and looked at Nangong Mo, and said, "It's okay to be flawless." Nangong Mo smiled: What can I do? But where did you get into such trouble? No matter which aspect it is, Nangong Mo doesn't like Gong Yuchen very much, but this person is elusive, which makes people upset.

Wei Junmo shook his head, who knows what illness he has? Gong Yuchen was so persistent in making trouble with him, it was definitely not just because of the opposition between the Water Pavilion and the Zixiao Palace, but for so long, he hadn't found out what other origin Gong Yuchen had. The Water Pavilion is mysterious in the rivers and lakes, and it is not easy to really find out the secrets of the Water Pavilion.

Wei Junmo sat down opposite her, looked at Nangong Mo and said softly: Flawless doesn't like the gift I asked Lin Changfeng to prepare?

Nangong Mo was stunned for a moment, quickly understood, and said with a smile: You mean Xiushui Fairy?

Wei Junmo nodded, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said with some dissatisfaction: The Zhu family has climbed the crown prince, and he can actually say that his uncle personally sent a message to warn me, and he has to give his uncle a little face for the time being. Despite that, secretly Wei Shizi still decided to teach the Zhu family a lesson, of course, there is no need to sue Sù Flawless for this kind of thing, lest the prince know and think that he will not even give his uncle's face for the sake of Flawlessness.

Nangong Mo didn't care either, and said with a smile: I didn't lose that game either, and didn't the eldest lady of the Zhu family already apologize? It's a long time coming.

Yes, it's a long way to go. Wei Junmo nodded cautiously, a little tired of the current situation of being trapped in the capital. He has no interest in the position of the county king, not to mention that he is far away from the sky and the earth in Youzhou, even if he escapes into the rivers and lakes, and guarding the Zixiao Palace is much more comfortable than in this small Jinling City.

I heard that Gao Yibo sent his concubine to the Yuejun Mansion as a concubine? Nangong Mo asked with some curiosity, speaking of... This Xiao Qianye's Yanfu is really not shallow. Just look at Zhu Chuyu's appearance, as long as the maid's mother is not too ugly, her own appearance is not bad. This has just accepted a Nangong Shu, and now there is another Gaoyi uncle, is it really worthy of the emperor's eldest grandson? In comparison, as the prince of Jingjiang County, the peach blossom relationship of Wei Gongzi, who is no worse than others in appearance, ability, and martial arts, is very pitiful.

It's enough for me to be flawless. Seeing Nangong Mo's eyes, Wei Junmo's face did not change and said calmly.

Nangong Mo blinked, covered his lips and smiled: People are not romantic teenagers, I won't blame you.

Last time you said that if I lose, you will kill me. Wei Junmo raised his hand and touched his neck, lightly debunking her insincere lies. Thinking of the fact that she impulsively bit someone's neck one after another, Miss Nangong couldn't help blushing a little, and snorted lightly: I'm not afraid that the son of the world will be wronged?

Not aggrieved, I'm willing. Wei Junmo said lightly.

You said it yourself. Nangong Mo said, so if you really have any true love in the future, don't blame this girl for being ruthless.

Well. Wei Shizi nodded and didn't say anything more. There was some quiet for a while, but the atmosphere was not solemn, but with a hint of comfort and warmth. The two sat opposite each other and drank tea, enjoying this quiet and comfortable moment.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the Imperial City of Jinling was not as luxurious and lively as Nangong Mo imagined. In fact, since the death of the former queen, now that His Majesty is no longer established, the affairs of the harem are jointly managed by several concubines. But this concubine is not the queen in the end, and if the name is not right, it is not good, so when the queen was alive, the routine matter of ordering the wife to enter the palace every month to ask for peace was also waived. If the wife of the court wants to enter the palace to ask for which lady, she must ask for instructions in advance, and several concubines can only enter the palace after agreeing. There are constant disputes in this harem, so even if you go to the palace, you can still have something to say, so the powerful women who were originally keen to enter the palace to ask for peace for their own girls have also stopped in recent years. The connection between the palace and the outside of the palace is decreasing day by day, and even most people only enter the palace for a few palace banquets a year.

So, as soon as they entered the palace, people with daughters and sisters in the palace naturally couldn't wait to talk to their own girls, and there was no girl in the palace to be a mother, and there was no difference between such a banquet and the usual banquet, at least on the surface, everyone could be regarded as peaceful. What's more, even if there is anything, Nangong Mo can't see it. As soon as she entered the palace, she was invited to the imperial study to see the driver.

The courtier, Nangong Mo, knocked to see His Majesty. In the imperial study, Nangong Mo bowed respectfully and said loudly.

Flat. The Emperor said. Seeing Nangong Mo Xie En stand up, the emperor looked at the woman below with great interest, but when he saw Nangong Mo's calm and calm expression, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: Nangong girl, aren't you surprised to see me? Still is... Jun Mo, that kid told you about my identity? Nangong Mo didn't do anything yet, but Nangong Huai next to him was startled. It turned out that her daughter had actually seen Her Majesty, and this girl had never mentioned it.

Nangong Modao: Who in the world can match the majesty of His Majesty? Although the courtiers are dull, they also know that His Majesty's identity must be unspeakably expensive.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said: So you guessed it yourself?

Nangong Mo did not hide it, and nodded generously.

The emperor laughed loudly, and said to Nangong Huai, who was also standing underneath, and said with a smile: Aiqing gave birth to a good daughter. This girl has the courage to see and be the best among these juniors.

Nangong Huai said with some trepidation: She is a little girl, she deserves such praise from His Majesty. Although there were only a few people in the hall, the emperor's praise made everyone's eyes fall on Nangong Mo, presumably after a while, the emperor's evaluation of Nangong Mo would spread throughout Jinling. The emperor waved his hand, squinted at Nangong Huai and said: When Aiqing was young, he was not as restrained as he is now.

Nangong Huai smiled bitterly in his heart: When he was young, his majesty was just a hero, but now he is a generation of emperors, can this be the same?

Xiao Qianye looked at Nangong Mo with a smile, and smiled at the emperor: Miss Nangong is indeed the most outstanding woman in Jinling today, and I want to congratulate my aunt and cousin. Xiao Qianye's mood has been quite good these days, and after being reprimanded by the emperor a few days ago, Xiao Qianye was still worried for a few days. Later, seeing that the imperial grandfather did not make any moves, as if he had completely forgotten what he had trained him that day, and he was still favored and favored as usual, Xiao Qianye really believed the words of the staff, and the imperial grandfather really just wanted to mention himself a few words. re-corrected the posture of the emperor's eldest grandson, and accepted two beauties with extraordinary backgrounds one after another, plus the princess of the county was pregnant, Xiao Qianye felt that his previous troubles had passed.

Princess Changping smiled faintly and said: Inherit a thousand nights of auspicious words.

Regarding Princess Changping's indifference, Xiao Qianye touched her nose helplessly. If he wants to win over the Zhu family and the king of Jingjiang County, it is inevitable that he will offend Aunt Changping, which is also a helpless thing. But if he was asked to give up the power of the Zhu family and the Jingjiang County Mansion to others, he would not be reconciled. Simply, it is impossible for Uncle Yan Wang to turn his father's face just because of this trivial matter, and when his father ascends the throne in the future, he naturally has no need to worry.

The emperor kept everyone's expressions in his eyes, waved his hand a little tiredly, and said: "Stand down, the girl of the Nangong family stays and talks to me."

Yes, the ministers retired.

Changping retired. Princess Changping looked at Nangong Mo with some unease, Nangong Mo smiled at her and signaled that she didn't have to worry, Princess Changping calmed down a little in her heart, and retreated with everyone.

When everyone had retreated, the emperor stood up and said, "Girl, come and go out with me." The attendants beside the emperor hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor walk out. Nangong Mo followed behind, so he had time to look at the emperor. The founding emperor Xiao Tianyu said that he was also a horse and whip back then, and he was a hero who fought in all directions, and his own martial arts were naturally not bad. Now Nangong Mo seems to be floating under his feet, his face is thin and tired, and he is obviously unwell. Although when he was in front of people, he was so imposing that he didn't dare to observe his appearance closely, but once he abandoned these careful observations, he could find that his Yin Tang was dark blue, his eyes were gloomy, and his right hand was always trembling uncontrollably. Nangong Mo's heart sank slightly... The emperor was not lightly ill.

Walking in the small garden behind the imperial study one after the other, the emperor didn't speak, Nangong Mo was not in a hurry to speak, but followed unhurriedly. Sure enough, after a while, I heard that the emperor's breath, which was originally quite stable, gradually became unstable. The chamberlain carefully helped him and whispered, "Your Majesty, sit in the garden for a while." The Emperor hesitated, but nodded. The chamberlain helped the emperor to a nine-song corridor in the garden, and the little palace maid who followed behind hurriedly stepped forward and put on a cushion before helping the emperor to sit down.

Sit, girl.

Nangong Mo thanked him and sat down opposite the emperor.

The emperor looked at her for a long time before he sighed and said, "Do you know why I want to see you?"

Nangong Mo shook his head, please show your majesty.

The emperor said: I also met your mother a few times back then, and now it seems... You girl, you look like your mother, but your personality is not very similar. Do you know who I think your personality looks like?

Nangong Mo shook his head cautiously, a little unsure what the emperor wanted to say when he saw him. Originally, I thought it was just for Nangong Huai's face and the title of the county lord of Xingcheng, and maybe the face of Princess Changping to summon him to show his favor, but it was a bit too much to summon him privately. Although the emperor is already sick as if she can poke her to death with one finger, she still has to be cautious when she is still a generation of founding emperors.

Compared to your mother... The eldest lady from the Meng family, I think... You're more like my queen. The emperor said lightly.

Nangong Mo was stunned, and hurriedly said: Your Majesty has praised it, the first queen has thousands of phoenixes in the world, how can the courtiers be one or two.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I have dominated the world all my life, and I think that I still have this point of seeing people's eyes." It's not that I don't know about the affairs of the Duke of Chu, it's just that Changping wants to find a suitable and good daughter-in-law for Jun Mo, compared to Nangong Shu, you are indeed more suitable as the concubine of the Nangong family. It's just that... Ever since I heard that you had gone to the Huguang battlefield alone, I suddenly regretted it.

Nangong Mo lowered her eyes and was silent, the current emperor didn't need her to say anything. And if she accidentally says something wrong, it may be doomed.

The emperor sighed and said: Now there are not only these princes and grandsons in Jinling City, but also the children of the powerful and powerful. There are not many women in the boudoir who can handle it, and there are even fewer women like my queen. I don't have many days to live, but... For the prince and Ye'er, I have always been a little uneasy.

陛xià...... Even though Miss Nangong was bold, she was frightened when she heard this. The palace maids who were waiting next to them had already knelt on the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

I was thinking about whether or not to point you to Ye'er. The emperor smiled and said, "If you help, maybe Ye'er can also reassure me."

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said lightly: Your Majesty praised it, Nangong Mo has no talent and no virtue, and he doesn't dare to value His Majesty so much. Let alone... Princess Yue is virtuous and virtuous, and now she has a grandson... The king of Yuejun is also a talent for a while, how can Nangong Mo be worthy of the word assistant. The emperor looked at her with some regret and said, "What you said is right, so I gave up this plan after thinking about it again." Do you know why?

Majesty xià loving. Nangong Modao.

The emperor sneered, obviously disapproving of her compliment, although I said that you are a little similar to my queen, but compared to the queen, I am afraid that you are a little more rebellious. If you don't want to, I'm a little unsure whether I've found a helper or an enemy for Ye'er. Other than that... Changping begged me for the first time in these years, and I didn't want to disappoint her.

In fact, there is another reason why His Majesty did not say that the character of the prince and Xiao Qianye is far less tough than that of the emperor, if she is really only given to Xiao Qianye, maybe she will be able to get a relative dictatorship in the future. Nangong Mo knew it in his heart, but he didn't say anything. Emperor Dao: Tell me, how about my crown prince and eldest grandson?

Nangong Mo was a little surprised, and hesitated for a while before saying: The courtiers and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only have one side, how dare they talk about the prince's sons and grandsons. Everyone in the world praises the prince's benevolence, which is naturally good.

The emperor stared at her for a long time, and then said lightly: You girl... Not only bold, but also very smart. It's a pity... I heard that your medical skills are not bad, so take my pulse.

Faced with the emperor's sudden turn of events, Nangong Mo was just stunned, and quickly came back to his senses and said respectfully: Yes, Your Majesty.
