morning

On the Golden Luang Palace

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live" The courtiers all knelt down.

"Zhong Aiqing, flat!" Mo Tianlin raised his hand.

"After thinking about it, I have made a decision about the flood in Wuwei City."

"This matter has been discussed and is feasible. The implementation of the drainage project was handed over to General Ning Yuan and the Ministry of Works. Mo Tianlin ordered.

"Your Majesty, the drainage project has been going on for a long time, and I am afraid that the flood will flood wantonly and damage the people's homes...... "Ye Sheng, the secretary of the ministry, walked to the center of the hall and bent down to salute.

"Ye Aiqing doesn't have to worry about it, everything has been countermeasured. Don't waste time and look at the end result. My people, I will not let them be displaced and lose their homes. The emperor said in a slightly cool tone.

Ye Sheng's body stiffened, and a chill inexplicably rose behind him. "The emperor is sage, and the people are blessed." Some stiffly walked back into place.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a performance." The right phase walked out and bent over.

"Ning Aiqing, what's the matter? You might as well say it directly, "The emperor raised his hand."

"Your Majesty, Lu Ping's matter has been entrusted for too long, and Weichen feels that it should be dealt with as soon as possible. The spies of other countries should be killed. Ning Qing's voice was sonorous and powerful, and no one in the entire court could ignore it.

"What Ning Aiqing said is that Lu Ping's matter should indeed be over," Mo Tianlin agreed.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's inappropriate!" A second-grade civil official stood up and said.

"Oh~ Why does Aiqing think it's inappropriate?" The Emperor's tone was slightly raised.

"Your Majesty, since Lu Ping is a spy of the enemy country. Then there must be accomplices in Molin, if you can pull out all the fine works through Lu Ping in one fell swoop, then Yu Molin is a good thing. He bent down and argued.

"Does Lord Yang mean to drag it so that the people of the enemy country have a chance to rescue Lu Ping, a spy?" A third-grade military attache answered.

"How can Lord Xu slander his own official and spew blood. Lord Xu is suspecting this official, is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, please be cautious. Ye Sheng retorted.

"You ......" The military attache was not good at words, and he was even more speechless at this time. In one breath, I was stuffy in my heart, and I was really panicked.

Looking at the emperor, he knelt down. "The emperor is clear, and the ministers are heartfelt to Mo Lin and His Majesty, and the sun and the moon can be learned. The reason why Wei Chen proposed this is also for the sake of Mo Lin's future~" Ye Sheng knelt on the ground and said awe-inspiringly.

"Aiqing's heartfelt count, get up!" Mo Tianlin raised his hand.

"Thank you, the emperor is wise."

Mo Tianlin looked at Ning Qing, "Ning Aiqing, what do you have to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's better to deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to have an accident and have a lot of dreams at night."

Seeing that my father has already said this. Ning Yuan also stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the right minister is right. Moreover, Weichen has found out the spy who exchanged letters with Lu Ping, has sorted out the list, and asked the emperor to take a look. Ning Yuan took out a book of music from his arms and raised his hands above his head.

Li Changzai walked down the steps, took the concerto, and handed it to the emperor.

"Bastard thing" Mo Tianlin looked at the music he had already seen, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Okay, very good, take the court's fortune and do things for other countries, it's really a good courtier" Mo Tian was extremely angry, and slammed the chapter on the table.

"The emperor is angry" The courtiers knelt down.

Mo Tianlin stood up and stared down. "Spread my will, Lu Ping betrayed the country, confiscated his family, and all wealth was collected into the treasury. At noon tomorrow, behead the public at the center of the South Gate. ”

"The nine clans are not allowed to be officials for generations, and all the people of their relatives are exiled to the frontier."

"All the accomplice officials were dismissed from their posts and investigated, their homes were raided together, and they were beheaded together at noon tomorrow."

"This matter is handed over to the left and right ministers to jointly supervise and behead, and General Weiyuan and Han Yu of the Imperial Forest Army jointly assist in the arrest of officials, there must be no mistakes"

"Retreat" angrily shook his sleeves and left.

"Wechen obeys!" The nominees shouted their voices.

Seeing that the emperor had left, Gonggong Li shook off the white dust in his hand and said sharply: "Retreat from the dynasty"

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live," all the courtiers knelt and shouted in unison.

Gonggong Li also followed in the footsteps of the emperor and left the Jinluan Palace.

Fengyi Palace

The queen woke up early in the morning and had some porridge. Leaning against the head of the bed, looking at the green face of the girl in front of him.

"Mother, come, eat some porridge! You didn't eat much last night, you should be hungry" Mo Lingxin took a bowl of lotus seed porridge, scooped it with a small spoon and said, bringing the spoon to the queen's mouth.

The queen opened her mouth to eat, and her gaze never left Mo Lingxin.

Seeing that she had been looking at her, Mo Lingxin chuckled, "What is the Queen Mother looking at?" There's something wrong with Erchen. I didn't come to see my mother yesterday, and I hope that my mother won't blame her sons. ”

The queen bowed her head slightly, smiled, looked at her and said, "There is nothing wrong. The queen mother was just a little surprised, Xin'er turned out to be able to speak, and ...... He also became a child of Hongu. The queen smiled with a happy face.

Xin'er didn't tell her mother the identity of her sons, and she also deceived her that she couldn't speak. Does the queen mother have to be punished? Erchen will endure and not cry. Mo Ling said in his heart.

"Poof" the queen laughed directly. "The heart is so lovely, how can the queen mother be willing to punish it, it's too late to hurt. Xin'er is so sensible, not to mention that she must have her own reason, how can the queen mother blame you. Mothers are never willing to blame their children, especially girls. Girls should be spoiled. The queen said with a pleasant smile.

Mo Lingxin paused for a moment, but in an instant, he resumed his smile.

"Will the queen mother spoil her sons in the future?" Mo Lingxin laughed.

"The children of this palace should live happily and be pampered." The queen looked at her with a smile on her face.

"Then the queen mother should quickly take care of her body, and when the time comes, she can spoil her ministers," Mo Lingxin tried to coquettishly say.

"Listen to your heart." The queen took another bite of the porridge she had fed.

After a while, the porridge had bottomed out. Mo Lingxin put the bowl aside, "Queen Mother, are you still hungry?" Would you like another bowl? Mo Lingxin asked with concern.

The queen shook her head, "No, the queen mother can't eat it." "She can finish a bowl, it's already the limit, and I don't want her to worry.

"By the way, what about Xiaoli? Why didn't he come? The queen looked at her and asked suspiciously.

Mo Lingxin looked at her and said with a normal expression: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry, he is fine." He also wanted to come, but his identity was special, so Erchen asked him not to move around for the time being. This is the queen mother's dormitory, he is over eight years old and is not the queen mother's child, and if he enters, it will not only damage the mother's reputation, but also put him in danger. ”

"He is now living in the side hall of the Ruthless Palace, and he feels a little guilty for not being able to come, and he asked his sons to apologize to the queen mother on his behalf, hoping that the queen mother will get better soon." Mo Lingxin said without being nervous at all.

"It's Hongu who didn't think it through. Go back! You tell him not to worry about me, tell him about my situation, and save him from worrying. The queen took her hand and said.

"The retainers will." Mo Lingxin pursed her lips and held her back with both hands. It turned out that the mother's hand ...... That is true.

"Xin'er, it doesn't matter who your former mother was. In the future, this palace will be good to you, you ...... Can you truly believe in the queen mother and accept the queen mother? The queen looked at her with a smile on her face.

Mo Lingxin looked into her eyes, and she reflected herself in her eyes, as if she was all she had in her eyes.

The ghost envoy nodded in disgust. came back to his senses, took the queen's hand and touched his face, "Later,...... You are my mother...... Mother," Mo Lingxin silently changed the words she wanted to say.

"Later...... You're my child. You...... It will be the most precious treasure of the queen mother. The queen gently touched her soft little face, and her heart was irrepressibly happy. God, I really gave her a great gift.

"Let the Queen Mother rest a little longer! There is still some time before the father and the emperor go to court, and the queen mother will lie down for a while. Mo Ling said in his heart.

The queen also followed her and lay down with Mo Lingxin's support.

Mo Lingxin covered the quilt for her, picked up the bowl, and prepared to walk out.

"Xin'er, where are you going?" The queen asked with some eagerness.

Mo Lingxin turned to look at her, "The queen mother is lying down, Erchen took out the bowl and gave it to them, and if you don't go anywhere, Erchen is here to accompany you." Mo Lingxin said softly. There was a kind of magic in her words, which instantly calmed the queen's somewhat apprehensive heart.

After Mo Lingxin walked out and took the bowl to the palace maid at the door, he walked in, sat on the stool in front of the bed, held the queen's hand, and accompanied her.

When the queen saw her sit down, she withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Mo Lingxin stared at their hands shaking each other like this, silently accompanying the queen, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Left Prime Minister's House

"Father, what should I do?" Zhong Shuhang's voice sounded in the study, faintly urgent.

"I said that no matter what happens, you must be calm and not mess up." Zhong Qixin said with a straight face.

Zhong Shuhang hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes, children remember"

"Since Ning Yuan, a boy who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, can find evidence, it means that their people are not so useful. This time the emperor ordered directly, and we couldn't do anything about it. We don't know the evidence, and they can't blame us. Zhong Qixin said.

"That's right" Zhong Qixin turned his head slightly, and asked you to eliminate the evidence that we had dealings with Lu Ping, did you destroy it?

"Back to my father, it's done." Zhong Shuhang bowed his head and returned.

Thinking of something, he raised his head again and asked, "Father, then Ning Yuan has already said that he has a list, so is it useful for us to destroy it at this time?" Could it have been known to Ning Yuan? ”

"No," Zhong Qixin walked to the chair and sat down. "The emperor probably didn't want to behead Lu Ping so quickly, he wanted to end it all in one pot, so he delayed the beheading for half a month."

"The emperor ordered the beheading of Lu Ping in such a hurry, if my guess is correct, it should be related to the flood in Wuwei City. They wanted to find out all the spies out there, but they didn't have time, so they probably didn't finish it. ”

"We communicate with him in secret, never revealing a bit of our identity, and he shouldn't know who we are. Don't worry too much. Zhong Qixin said to him, relieving Zhong Shuhang's worries.

"That's good, then we don't have to wade into this troubled water" Hearing his father say this, Zhong Shuhang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

- Lu Ping beheaded and copied his home - the Ministry of Works, Shilang and Ning Yuan set off for the drainage project.
