Chapter 154: Death in a Substitute Place

Mo Xinlan's ethereal eyes were blank, and Ah Jiu broke off her sisterhood with her, and the soul in her body seemed to be sucked away by more than half, and she staggered a few steps to the door of the cell, holding the fence of the cell tightly with both hands, just in time to see Mo Junyong, "...... Brother. ”

Mo Junyong felt sorry for Mo Xinlan again, and felt that her sister was hopelessly stupid, this sister really responded to the saying, poor people must have something to hate.

"Brother doesn't want me anymore?"

The indifference of her brother-in-law made Mo Xinlan extremely sad, "You are my own brother, even you are towards Ah Jiu and give up on me?" Because I was born to kill my mother, it is not my wish, if I can choose, I would rather go to win people in the first place! ”

King Huai supported Mo Xinlan from behind, and his eyes were full of distress and pity.

Mo Junyong stared at Mo Xinlan for a long time, "I'm afraid!" Second sister, I am far from my father's mind, and I am younger than my father, and I still want to see more beautiful scenery. I'm afraid that my ambition will die before I am rewarded, and I don't feel sorry if I die worthwhile, in case I die in an accident, or in the hands of my second sister, how aggrieved will I be?! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Brother. Mo Xinlan almost collapsed in pain, "I didn't mean to, my brother is not my father's special body." ”

"I may not like what I say, but I tell the truth. Until now, you still haven't understood what went wrong. β€œ

Mo Junyong shook his head regretfully, "That's it, that's it, it's not intentional." ”

Bowing to King Huai to the end, Mo Junyong was quite entrusted, "His Royal Highness King Huai has asked for a marriage decree, and I hope you will treat her well."

"You don't have to worry about this, this king will spoil her like a jewel."

King Huai didn't look at Mo Junyong very well, and his sister-in-law left it behind to cater to his stepsister, which was simply ...... is even more cold-blooded than Mo Guanjie, taking the crying, sad and mournful Mo Xinlan into his arms, Lan'er is really too difficult to live in the Mo family.

Just because of a small accident that Mo Xinlan led for the filial piety of his stepmother and father, Mo Junyong avoided his sister as a snake and scorpion.

Mo Junyong regards career power as more important than family affection.

It's not that I can't feel King Huai's ridicule, Mo Junyong can't say it, if I have to argue with King Huai clearly, if King Huai repents, what should the second sister do?

In the past, Mo Junyong would never want to marry Mo Xinlan to King Huai as a stepconcubine, but now ...... Seeing that King Huai is very attentive to his second sister, King Huai is more than rich, lacks power, has sons and daughters, and does not need Mo Xinlan to pass on the sect to receive him, as long as Mo Xinlan is an ordinary stepmother, life is not sad.

Which of the children of a famous family is not three wives and four concubines, it is best to marry into the royal family, and there will never be a matter of spoiling concubines and killing wives.

The princess who is not as favored as the side concubine has heard of it, and it is common for the princess to have nothing to do, but the princess who has never been retired in the empire is no longer favored, and the dignity of the princess is still pressing on the side concubine.

King Huai and Mo Xinlan may be the most suitable pair.

After Mo Junyong bowed again, he also turned to leave.

"Woo ......"

Mo Xinlan cried miserably at this time, and she didn't care about etiquette at this time, as if she grabbed the last life-saving straw and got into King Huai's arms, "I...... I...... They don't want it."

Huaiwang Beauty was even more distressed by Mo Xinlan, "And this king, sooner or later, your father and brother will regret leaving you today." ”

******

Mo Junyong returned to the Hou Mansion and heard that Ah Jiu had gone to the study, so he pondered for a while and followed him to the study.

Sure enough, Mo Junyong arrived outside the study, and happened to hear Ah Jiu talking to Mo Guanjie in the study about the trip to prison.

Mo Junyong can't look down on the complaint behind his back, but what can he say about Ah Jiu at this time?

The nonsense is all Mo Xinlan's words, Ah Jiu didn't add oil and vinegar, and he didn't make something out of nothing, Ah Jiu really used it as a scheme!

Don't look at his father Mo Guanjie's face, Mo Junyong knows very well how hard blindness hits a once able-bodied person, if Mo Guanjie says that he doesn't have a little complaint about Mo Xinlan, he is a saint.

Is Mo Guanjie a saint?

Apparently not!

It's not for the last trace of blood and family affection, Mo Guanjie Xu can destroy Mo Xinlan with his own hands.

Qingliu Wenchen does not mean that he has no temper, Mo Junyong has grown his knowledge when he travels abroad, and he slowly understands that those who really fight hard, and the people who fight are Qingliu, on the contrary, although the generals are domineering, they are very arrogant in some things, and they don't account too much.

Mo Guanjie started from a humble family, and has come to this day step by step with his own strength, if he says that he has little heart, who will believe it?

A really good person, a person who holds the book of sages and sages, can't gain a foothold in officialdom at all, let alone promote officials to make a fortune.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I told her that we would no longer be sisters. ”

Ah Jiu said truthfully in the end, "Dad, you are reluctant to her, let you be, but don't let me be with her in the Hou Mansion again, she is in trouble, you help me and my mother don't care, but you don't want me to help, lend a hand." If you want to help her, it's a good idea to think about how many children you have besides her. ”

The implication is that not only will Mo Guanjie be taken on by himself for the sake of an ignorant Mo Xinlan, but also may lose more people.

"She can find a reason for Mo Xiang and ask you to forgive Mo Xiang, I see that she can do everything, you had better prepare early."

"Ah Jiu ......"

Mo Guanjie's face was helpless, he couldn't see it with his eyes, if he saw his angry little daughter, he was embarrassed to speak, "How can I forgive Mo Xiang?" ”

At the door of the study, the figure swayed, Ah Jiu directly lifted the door curtain, Mo Junyong was slightly embarrassed, and licked his lips: "Ninth sister." ”

"Third brother, please come in."

Ah Jiu did not see any estrangement or anger towards Mo Junyong as in the past, but the more Ah Jiu had clear grievances, the more Mo Junyong felt that she owed her, and the more she regretted dragging Ah Jiu to visit Mo Xinlan in prison.

"It's Brother Yong'er."

"Yes, father."

Hearing his son's voice, Mo Guanjie showed a little joy, and finally didn't have to face Ah Jiu alone, "Come in." ”

With one more person on his back, can Ah Jiu be a little less angry?!

Mo Guanjie secretly spit on himself for being useless, but who let him give birth to Mo Xinlan? In front of Ah Jiu, he lacked confidence, and after he lost his sight, he tossed and turned, even if Mo Xinlan did not inherit the qualifications of his parents, he would not be stupid and radical like this.

Ah Jiu silently refilled the tea for the third brother and his father, and stood aside obediently.

Her bright and faintly strong eyes were half-closed, and there was a gentle and quiet smile on her lips, slim and beautiful.

Mo Junyong thought in her heart, even if the ninth sister is not there, she doesn't dare to say anything for the second sister, in fact, the ninth sister doesn't have to listen here at all.

"I just heard Ah Jiu talk about Sister Lan's marriage with His Royal Highness King Huai......"

Mo Guanjie sighed heavily, rubbing his palm against the armrest, after choosing Lu Tianyang for Ah Jiu, he has been paying attention to Mo Xinlan's marriage, knowing that there will be arrangements on the side of the Duke of Fuguo, but Mo Guanjie still hopes that he will choose a son-in-law for Mo Xinlan.

King Huai is by no means Mo Guanjie's son-in-law candidate.

With Mo Guanjie's heart, he never wanted to marry a daughter into the royal family, and Lu Tianyang, who was just the son of King Qi at the beginning, almost let Mo Guanjie be excluded from the list of sons-in-law.

It's not that Lu Tianyang is too good, and he has helped him several times, and Mo Guanjie will not move the idea of marrying Ah Jiu to him.

It should be said that in addition to Lu Tianyang's desperate efforts to marry Ah Jiu, the direction of the strategy is completely correct, let Mo Guanjie nod first, and the marriage will come naturally.

"Father, son sees that His Royal Highness King Huai is very persistent and values his second sister. Now that the emperor has made a decision, it may be difficult to turn it over again. ”

Mo Junyong glanced at Ah Jiu and said in a low voice, "It's best to let this matter take its course." ”

The Mo family is now on the cusp, and it is not easy to make too many moves.

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Guanjie bowed his hand in the direction of the palace, "Your Majesty has decreed, and the minister can only thank you for your grace." ”

"Dad, it's important for you to recuperate right now." Ah Jiu didn't want Mo Guanjie to aggravate his eye disease because of his troubles. "No news from Tianyang?"

Facing Mo Guanjie's inquiry, Ah Jiu shook his head, flashed a trace of worry, and then said confidently: "I thought that no news was good news, Xu is doctor is busy treating his younger brother, and Senior Brother Lu is a safe person, and he will send us news when he has a definite result." ”

Mo Guanjie nodded approvingly, "Three days and nights of thousands of miles, with a precarious baby...... It's hard to raise it by nature, it's not raised by nature, and my son doesn't even have a point of vitality. ”

In addition to sighing, most of these words were said to Ah Jiu.

It is precisely because Lu Tianyang always takes Ah Jiu to heart that he will contact the master of Xinglin in advance, stand up for difficulties, and have the courage to take responsibility.

Mo Guanjie muttered: "It's not that I praise my students, Tianyang is too much stronger than King Huai, too much." ”

"You, you shouldn't compare Senior Brother Lu with His Royal Highness King Huai." Ah Jiu pouted, how many men can be as stupid as Mo Xinlan?

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Mo Guanjie hid his embarrassment with a dry smile, and coughed continuously, "The imperial doctor just showed me an eye disease, and said that it was good to recover, and it is possible to restore the light recently, and I can faintly feel the light myself." ”

"Dad, that's a good thing."

Ah Jiu was overjoyed.

"When my eyes improve, I'll look for an outward release."

Mo Guanjie is not going to stay in the imperial capital any longer, "Sister Lan and Sister Qing'er are married, and I don't have to worry about them." Your mother is not in good health, since there is a famous doctor in Jiangnan and your brother is also in Jiangnan, I will strive to seek an official position in Jiangnan. ”

Mo Guanjie gave the dowries of his two daughters in advance, and when he gave the dowry, he would come back if he could, but he couldn't...... Others will also say that he puts state affairs first,

Ah Jiuyi's eyes lit up when he heard Jiangnan, "Dad, your idea is really good, I'll sue SΓΉ Niang." ”

After several twists and turns in a row, Ah Jiu has also stayed enough in the imperial capital, and she will have a lot of peace of mind if she jumps out of the circle of right and wrong in the imperial capital early, and she will be willing to be a stepconcubine, not to mention the time bomb - the eldest princess and Yan Guogong.

Originally, Ah Jiu thought that even if he used his grandfather's power, he would let his father leave Beijing and release him, but he never expected that Mo Guanjie would have the heart to go out.

For people who aspire to a career in the official career, it is far better to be an official in the imperial capital than to be released, although it is free, but not under the emperor's nose, and no one in the court will be forgotten, in fact, Mo Guanjie does not have to worry about this at all, he has an innate advantage over others.

Not to mention that her father-in-law Jiang Shoufu can ensure that Mo Guanjie's achievements in the local area will not be stolen by others, she is the eldest princess...... She would often mention Mo Guanjie in front of Emperor Shenwu, and Ah Jiu didn't believe that Emperor Shenwu didn't know anything about the eldest princess's arrangements.

Ah Jiu walked out of the study with light steps, and Mo Guanjie smiled lightly, "Brother Yong, you ...... this time"

Mo Junyong suddenly became a little nervous, and his face was solemn, "Father! ”

"You go out of Beijing with me."

"Yes, father."

Mo Junyong responded happily. "I will personally tutor you in your homework, instruct you in the imperial examination skills, the next Enke, if you don't enter the first class, add and serve!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There are only three people in the first class, Senior Brother Lu will definitely occupy the champion, and the son only has two places, isn't it ......"

Mo Junyong used to think that it was easy to be a champion in high school, but as his experience grew, he was surrounded by amazing talents, and he found that he was very naΓ―ve before.

"Heavenly raising?!" Mo Guanjie looked a little regretful, "It's not difficult to be the champion in his talent, the difficulty is that the eldest princess will tolerate Lu Tianyang, who is both civil and military?" ”

"Father."

"You must not mention this to anyone."

Mo Guanjie didn't want Lu Tianyang and Ah Jiu's marriage to be extraneous, and the eldest princess's dislike and even disdain for Lu Tianyang could not prevent him from marrying Ah Jiu to Lu Tianyang.

"Once Senior Brother Lu and the eldest princess have a bad relationship, wouldn't the ninth sister be ......?"

"You can think about Ah Jiu, and be happy for your father." Mo Guanjie was very pleased, "Brother Yong, you remember one thing, the empire belongs to His Majesty, and it has been His Majesty's from beginning to end, and no matter how great Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has, he can't shake the foundation of the empire." Even if Tianyang can't win the champion due to the obstruction of the eldest princess and others, he doesn't need to worry too much about his future career. ”

Mo Guanjie didn't say yes, with Lu Tianyang's scheming, he might use the imperial examination to pit the eldest princess.

At that time, it will be up to Emperor Shenwu to trust the eldest princess.

******

Mo Xiang is the son of the Mo family, and drugging to murder the male owner is a crime of one degree in the criminal law, regardless of whether Mo Xiang sincerely poisoned Mo Guanjie to make him blind, the officials of the yamen will not consider the unexpected factor.

In particular, Mo Xiang was bewitched by the virtuous Dao Gu, and the virtuous Dao Gu was a definite anti-thief.

Even if King Huai came forward, the official who presided over Mo Xiang did not dare to take it lightly.

Mo Xinlan has been locked in the cell, the yamen officials seem to have forgotten her, they have never subjected her to Lingxin, the prison is not as free as outside, the food is not good, Mo Xinlan has not suffered too many grievances, of course, excluding the illness that she can't think about and depressed.

King Huai thought that it was his own face that made Mo Xinlan avoid going to the court to confront the virtuous Daogu and Mo Xiang, and became more and more convinced that he could protect Mo Xinlan and give her happiness.

In fact, it's not that the eldest princess can't bear to persuade Emperor Shenwu to leave a decent place for Mo Xinlan, and Emperor Shenwu doesn't want the emperor's grandson and daughter-in-law to be ruined, and Mo Xinlan will never receive any preferential treatment. "Lord Wang...... I beg you, save Mo Xiang, the nurse came to see me, her hair is gray, and she is old enough, I ...... I only have one family member I care about. β€œ

Mo Xinlan also thinks that King Huai is quite capable, "Mo Xiang was sentenced to be executed, see if you can replace her, I can pay someone to be punished instead of her!" ”R1152
