Chapter 576: The icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow

At the end of the happy one-day trip to the garden, Xiao Rui returned to the palace with several concubines and children.

A day has passed, and the system advent is still loading, and the advent has not yet been completed, could it be that the big move is brewing?

It's a pity that Xiao Rui asked the system, and the silence of the system is golden.

Back in the East Palace, Xiao Rui had just had a cup of tea, and the palace maid came to report that the female official had come.

Xiao Rui immediately asked people to invite her in.

A moment later, a female officer with a beautiful face and outstanding temperament walked in.

The person who came was Yan Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao has been in the palace for five years, and now she is in her early twenties, at the most beautiful age of a woman's life, she has faded away from immaturity, with maturity, and her gestures are charming.

When Xiao Rui first saw Yan Xiaoxiao, he deduced that she would be a beauty when she grew up, and now it has been confirmed that Xiao Rui's vision is correct.

Even, Yan Xiaoxiao's appearance is the best among the women Xiao Rui has ever seen, even better than Yan Linglong, and she already belongs to the level of alluring the country and the city.

Her fair skin has no defects, her facial features are delicate and perfect, her nine-headed body is the biggest highlight, and the originally flat front of her body has also developed into a mountain, and the future child will not lack milk.

Other than that.

Yan Xiaoxiao is not a vase.

The palace life has taught her a lot of things, such as indifference, ruthlessness, ruthlessness, disguise, coercion and seduction, and disguise. Don't underestimate that she is just a female official of the Heart Cultivation Palace, with a humble status, but her means should not be underestimated.

If it weren't for the rebellion of the Yasukuni Duke and the Empress last time, Xiao Rui wouldn't know that Yan Xiaoxiao's ability was so great, and the female officials in the palace listened to her.

Of course, she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even has a lot of experience in handling political affairs.

Yan Xiaoxiao came this time, could it be that there was something wrong with what she was concerned about?

"Slave and maid, please meet Your Highness!"

Yan Xiaoxiao walked three steps away from Xiao Rui and stopped, then bowed, raised his head and smiled and bowed.

Her smile made Xiao Rui can't help but think of a sentence:

"The smile is peachy, and the clouds are piled up. The lips are full of cherry blossoms, and the teeth are fragrant. ”

In front of outsiders, she is indifferent and upright, and whenever she sees Xiao Rui alone, she will do her best to display her beauty, this girl has learned to use charm skills.

"Sit down." Xiao Rui pretended to be calm and pointed to the round stool opposite.

Who knew that Yan Xiaoxiao did not sit opposite, but pulled over the round stool and sat next to Xiao Rui, and said: "The slave maid wants to report confidential matters, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

Xiao Rui was immediately happy, this girl has really grown up.

In the past, she would only hide her thoughts in the bottom of her heart, and even if she was wronged, she would only hide in the library and cry secretly, but now she has become bold, often "teasing" and even "tempting" Xiao Rui, daring to take out the love thread in her heart and let Xiao Rui see it.

This is bitter for Xiao Rui, he had planned to ask Yan Xiaoxiao to come from the Heart Cultivation Palace, but unfortunately he never found a suitable opportunity, which can be regarded as Yan Xiaoxiao's torture of him.

After the two sat closer, Yan Xiaoxiao stretched out his jade hand to knock Xiao Rui's legs, and he was skilled and very comfortable.

"Have you paid attention to something?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "There was a female official who secretly asked to see Concubine Lan behind her back with the rest of Shizuka Palace, and the two chatted in the house for a long time before coming out. ”

"What is the origin of this female officer?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "I sent someone to the Inner Service Province to check, he was once a female official in Concubine Mu's palace, and then Concubine Mu was beaten into the cold palace, so she was transferred to other places with a relationship." Shizuka Palace, which she only entered a year ago, it seems that she was also instructed to enter Shizuka Palace. ”

Xiao Rui suddenly smiled: "It seems that Huang Qilin is going to make a move!" ”

Huang Qilin thought that he was clever in his own means, and letting Ashikaga Yumi enter the palace was just a random layout for him back then, and he would never show his stuffing, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to be smart and aware of the problem, and even went to the Wa Kingdom with great difficulty.

What Huang Qilin will do now is in Xiao Rui's hands.

"Your Highness, do you need a slave to interrogate this female official?" Yan Xiaoxiao asked.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "There's no need, she just sent a message, and she can't ask anything." As for what Huang Kirin will write, it is nothing more than Ashikaga Nobita in his hands, and then saying that she is a substitute, so that she can turn into hatred because of love. ”

"Will she be bad for Your Majesty?" Yan Xiaoxiao asked.

Xiao Rui asked rhetorically, "What if it's you?" ”

Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned, shook her head and said: "The slave doesn't know how she will face it, maybe it's the authorities who are obsessed with bystanders." But Concubine Lan has a cheerful and kind personality, and it can be seen that she really loves His Majesty. So the slave maid thinks that she will not be bad for His Majesty. Women understand women! ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "That's right! I guess Huang Qilin is not sure that Concubine Lan will hurt His Majesty, so his goal has to be changed, Huang Qilin and Concubine Lan make a deal, and the person who wants to kill is not Your Majesty, but me! ”

"What? She dares! Yan Xiaoxiao frowned, and immediately scolded, and the strength of her subordinates doubled.

Xiao Rui felt the pain of being knocked on his leg, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Xiaoxiao, you can't talk nonsense, if someone else hears it, this is the following crime." ”

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "Your Highness, rest assured, of course I know, I secretly remembered the words of others in my heart, and secretly started it." ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't mess around, I know that the female officials and palace maids of Jingxiang Palace are your people, don't worry, since I know the intentions of Concubine Lan and Huang Qilin, I will naturally not let them succeed." I also want to see what Yumi Ashikaga will do, and I hope she doesn't do anything wrong. ”

Yan Xiaoxiao immediately smiled like a flower and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave and maid will not act rashly." Did you just beat His Highness? The slave and maid will give you a good rub. ”

"Well, that's good..."Xiao Rui looked happy.

……

Now Xiao Rui's safety is in charge of Li Yuanfang.

Dian Wei, Wu Zhanfa, and Wei Guang followed Zhang Liang and Xiao He to Anxi Province, Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji went to Qi to fight, and Li Kui followed Jia Xu all year round. Li Yuanfang also understands the importance of the task, and basically works all year round.

However, Xiao Rui is not a mean boss, how can he call his subordinates like this, and Li Yuanfang has already married, and his wife is also pregnant. So when Xiao Rui stayed in the palace, he asked Li Yuanfang to arrange his own time.

There are prince's guards and forbidden troops in the palace, so he doesn't have to worry about assassins during the day, so he can go home during the day.

Although Li Yuanfang has started a family, he still lives in the former Xianwang Mansion, mainly because he is afraid that the bad guys will control his family and blackmail him. As the former palace of the crown prince, the Xianwang Mansion has been retained after the inner court of the ward, and the palace is protected by iron dragon knights, and the reliable servants and maids of the former palace have been retained.

As soon as Li Yuanfang entered the palace, the steward Gao Quan greeted him and said with a smile: "General Li, someone wanted to see you today, and when he learned that you were not in the palace, he left a post." ”

"Oh, really?" Li Yuanfang raised his eyebrows, he was rescued from death row by His Royal Highness, and was found by the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion to find a corpse and pretend to die violently, "Li Yuanfang" is already dead, so he has no friends.

After receiving the list of greetings, Li Yuanfang raised his eyebrows, and then got up and left the palace.

According to the address of the post, Li Yuanfang came to a teahouse, asked the shopkeeper, and was taken to the backyard.

"Brother Yuanfang!" The boy shouted.

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for more than two years, and I've grown so tall." ”

After speaking, Li Yuanfang greeted the man behind the young man with a fist, "Brother Mo!" ”

Mo Liangchen returned the salute and said with a smile: "Brother Li! ”

These two people are not outsiders, they are the Mo family in the Mo organization, Mo Zhan and Mo Liangchen.

The three of them entered the room and sat down to talk.

"The two of them came thousands of miles from the Qin State, and it seems that they have a heavy responsibility." Li Yuanfang asked straight to the point.

Mo Liangchen replied: "I can't hide it, I will be ordered by Emperor Qin to come to Kyoto in Xia Kingdom to assassinate His Royal Highness Xiao Rui!" ”

Li Yuanfang nodded and said with a smile: "I've already guessed, but I don't quite understand, since it's an assassination, why would you take the initiative to come to see me, wouldn't this be a self-confession?" Is it possible that you want to win me over? Or are you trying to trap me? ”

"Brother Yuan Fang came alone, which shows trust, how can he be booby-trapped? I, Mo Liangchen, preach morality, and I will never do anything that disgraces people's character. Mo Liangchen explained.

Mo Zhan on the side saw that his uncle always couldn't get to the point, so he said: "Brother Yuanfang, although I came to assassinate His Royal Highness Xiao Rui on the order of Emperor Qin this time, my Mo family is unwilling to assassinate him after careful consideration. And I also want to cooperate, and I want to ask Brother Yuanfang to pass it on my behalf. ”

"Cooperation?"

Li Yuanfang was immediately happy.

"Two years ago in Zhao State, His Royal Highness personally invited the Mexican Organization to change its course, but you refused, how can you be willing to cooperate now," Li Yuanfang asked.

Mo Zhan said: "Brother Yuanfang should know that the Mo organization is composed of two parts, the Mo family and the Bai family. At that time, the Mo family and the Bai family were inseparable from each other, so they could not break away from the Qin State. In the past two years, the Mo family and the Bai family have sorted out the relationship and become distinct. Although it is still a Mo organization, it is already two parts. ”

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "The Qin State is strong, why choose Great Xia?" Two years ago and today, not only time has changed, everything has changed. Do you think Your Highness will still need the support of the Mo family? ”

Mo Zhan and Mo Liangchen immediately fell silent.

It's like the saying: the icing on the cake is better than charcoal in the snow.

At the beginning, Xiao Rui could use the Mo family, if they were willing to take refuge, they would inevitably become an important part of Xiao Rui's side today.

But what about now?

After the Xia Organization and the Yang Organization merged into one, Jing Feng and Qin Ming took people to the Qin State to lay out, even if Xiao Rui did not have the giant order in his hands, they were willing to work for Xiao Rui, because they could see who would be the master of the world in the future.

Mo Liangchen sighed and said, "Even if it's the icing on the cake, it's not too late, and I ask Brother Yuanfang to help." ”

Li Yuanfang was curious: "Can I know why?" ”

After Mo Liangchen and Mo Zhan glanced at each other, Mo Zhan explained: "Brother Li should know that the reason why our Mo Organization helped the Qin State was because after the Qin State unified Shenzhou, it would spread our Mo Scholar ideas all over the world and carry them forward. But to this day, it seems that the Qin State does not have this strength anymore, because Great Xia is getting stronger and stronger. ”

"Secondly, the Xia Organization and the Yang Organization have merged into the Mo Person, and we have already met with them in the Qin State. We didn't care about their behavior, because back then, the Xia Organization and the Yang Organization were not the core, so we looked down on them arrogantly. But the terrible thing is that His Royal Highness Xiao Rui established a junior college, and the knowledge imparted included the knowledge obtained from the treasure house of ink. As the core inheritance of the Mo people, our Mo organization has been working hard for hundreds of years to do what we haven't done, but I didn't expect that it has already begun to be done in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the scale of the junior college is getting bigger and bigger, and we have begun to build branches in various places, and more and more students are studying. Maybe in a few generations, the Xia Organization and the Yang Organization will completely replace us and become the real Mo, and our group of people will completely become assassins, betraying the glory and mission of our ancestors......"

After saying this, Mo Zhan and Mo Liangchen sighed.

Li Yuanfang could understand their distress, so he said, "I need to tell His Highness about this matter." In addition, since you have chosen to take refuge, are you ready to be sincere? ”

Mo Liangchen took out a list from his arms and said: "This is the Mo Organization personnel who came to Kyoto this time, and they have recorded their identities and hidden locations in detail, which can be regarded as the sincerity of meeting His Highness." ”

"Good!" After Li Yuanfang took the list, he immediately returned to the East Palace.
