Chapter 170, Suzhou
"Lord Li, please be seated! Don't be nervous, this king is just ordered to deliver food, and Lord Li doesn't have to care about this king. Long Junmo said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, yes! Weichen heard that the prince met bandits on the road, so he came to visit, the prince is okay, right? Li Hao heard Long Junmo's words and asked rhetorically.
"Everything is fine with this king, but I met some thieves on the road who were worried about this batch of grain, so the two sides fought for a while, and it was okay!" Long Junmo looked like an official and said hello.
"That's good, that's good!" Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"This king heard that Lord Li mortgaged his house and assets in order to raise food, and it is a blessing for them to have such a loyal and good official as Lord Li in Suzhou!" Long Junmo said.
When Li Hao heard this, he smiled bitterly: "The prince said that he was joking, Weichen was originally from Suzhou, Suzhou was killed, Weichen is a parent official in Suzhou, so he naturally has to do his best, but he is ashamed to say that although Weichen is the magistrate of Suzhou, he has never sought a well-being for Suzhou, so he can only do his meager strength this time." Li Hao said with shame on his face.
"Lord Li is serious, Lord Li's incorruptible style is the well-being of Suzhou people, and Lord Li should not be arrogant."
"Thank you, Lord Wang's praise!" Li Hao thanked him.
Long Junmo smiled indifferently, the person in front of him has a good character, he is a good official, if he is strictly reused, it will definitely benefit the people. Long Junmo thought to himself.
And when Long Junmo looked at Li Hao, Li Hao was also secretly looking at this Long Junmo, and the corners of his mouth moved, as if he had something to say, but he didn't speak for a long time.
“………… The prince rested well, and Weichen retired! Li Hao stood up and said goodbye.
"Xiaofeng, send Master Li!" Long Junmo commanded at the howling wind.
"Yes, Master Li, please!" Howling Wind said politely.
"That Weichen retires!" Master Li arched his hand at Long Junmo, and then turned to leave.
Xiaofeng sent Li Hao to the door of the inn, "Master Li go slowly!" Howling Wind said, and was about to turn away.
"Wait a minute!" Just as Xiao Feng was about to leave, Li Hao hurriedly stopped him.
"Is there anything else to do with Lord Li?" Xiao Feng looked at him suspiciously and asked.
Hearing Xiao Feng's question, Li Hao looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and then he spoke: "That Xiao guard, I heard that the prince married the fifth lady of Mofu as a concubine, is it true?" Li Hao asked with a sigh of relief.
"Of course it's true! It's been two years, doesn't Master Li know? Xiaofeng looked at him with some confusion and said.
"No, no, no, I know, I'm just confirming!" Li Hao hurriedly waved his hand.
"What? Master Li knows my princess? Xiao Feng looked at him with some wariness and asked.
"Yes...... No, no, no, I don't know but I don't know ......" Hearing Xiaofeng's words, Li Hao said vaguely, yes for a while, and not for a while.
Xiao Feng looked at Li Hao's appearance and was a little suspicious.
"That...... Go first in the next! Li Hao didn't ask anything more, then arched his hand at Xiaofeng, and then turned to leave.
looked at the back of Li Hao leaving, thoughtfully.
After sending Li Hao away, Xiao Feng returned to Long Junmo's room.
"Lord Wang, the people are gone!" Howling Wind said.
"Hmm!" Long Junmo nodded slightly.
"That prince, Lord Li asked me about the princess just now!" Howling Wind thought for a moment, then spoke.
When Long Junmo heard this, his face changed, "What's the matter?" Long Junmo asked.
Then Xiao Feng told Long Junmo all the conversations with Li Hao just now.
After listening to Xiao Feng's narration, Long Junmo's face was a little gloomy.
"Go! Check this Li Hao! Long Junmo commanded in a cold voice.
"Yes!" Howling Wind replied, and then turned to leave.
As soon as Xiaofeng left, Long Junmo got out of bed and walked to the window, overlooking the entire city of Suzhou.
And at this time in the imperial palace of the capital.
In summer, the hot sun bakes the earth, and the air is filled with a sultry smell.
"Hey, how did you say that the Seventh Princess offended the Queen Mother, she has been kneeling in the courtyard for a few hours, on such a hot day, if you kneel down again, your life will be gone!"
"I seem to have heard that it was because the Queen Mother asked the Seventh Princess to take a concubine for the prince, but she was refused, so the Queen Mother was angry and let her kneel in the courtyard."
"These seven princesses are too jealous, since ancient times, which man has not had three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the seven princes have not had any heirs until now."
…………
…………
Outside the Qianfu Palace, a group of palace maids and eunuchs looked at Mo Jiuwu kneeling in the courtyard, and they all opened their mouths to discuss.
In another palace, bursts of laughter came from within.
"Haha...... Mo Jiuwu also has today, haha......"
In the palace, Mo Qingya sat at the table and said with an undisguised smile.
"Yes! I've been kneeling for hours, and I'm still kneeling! It's so hot, I'm afraid to kneel down again...... Lives are gone. The palace maid on the side agreed.
"Well deserved! If it's really dead, then it's my heart! Mo Qingya said ruthlessly.
"What a pity! I couldn't see her embarrassment in person. Mo Qingya said with some regret.
From the words, it can be seen how much Mo Qingya hates Mo Jiuwu.
And in the courtyard of Qianfu Palace, Mo Jiuwu knelt on the ground straight, the clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat, and every drop of sweat also flowed down his forehead.
Mo Jiuwu's eyes looked straight at the Qianfu Palace, his teeth were biting his lip, his whole lips were extremely pale, and his face was also pale, as if he was dehydrated.
Mo Jiuwu looked at his leg, and his knee was extremely painful at this time.
Mo Jiuwu didn't snort, because she knew that Gu Rong called herself here today to make things difficult for herself, and she only had two ways to go, one was to agree to their requests, but in that case, the Seven Kings' Mansion would be active under Gu Rong's eyes, and then their every move would be known by Gu Rong, then Long Junmo's things would be controlled by Gu Rong, and the second was to accept their difficulties for themselves, after all, in broad daylight, they didn't dare to be ruthless to themselves, they would only find fault to embarrass themselves, But as long as they don't let go, then they can't do anything to themselves!
Having said that, Mo Jiuwu touched his knees, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face showed some pain.
In the Qianfu Palace, Gu Lanyan looked at Mo Jiuwu, who was still kneeling in the courtyard, and his face was a little gloomy.
"It's a hard-mouthed girl!" Gu Rong looked at Mo Jiuwu, who had been kneeling for so long and had not softened, and spoke.
"Queen Mother, call someone in! After all...... I can't let her have anything to do now! Gu Lanyan said.
"Forget it, Aunt Yin, send someone to send her back!" Gu Rong said indifferently.
"Yes!" Aunt Yin answered, and then walked out.
"Princess, get up! The Queen Mother ordered me to send you back! Aunt Yin came to Mo Jiuwu and spoke.
Hearing this, Mo Jiuwu raised her eyes to look at her, then looked at the palace again, bracked herself up, and stood up hard.
But the knee was in severe pain, Mo Jiuwu staggered, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, her hand was quick, and her other hand supported her body, and then she stood up strongly.
When she watched Mo Jiuwu stand up, a trace of admiration flashed in Aunt Yin's eyes, if ordinary people knelt for so long in this hot weather, they would have lost half their lives, let alone be able to stand up.
Although Mo Jiuwu stood up, her legs couldn't help but tremble.
"Today's teachings of the Queen Mother, I ...... I'm Mo Jiuwu...... Teachable, ...... in the future It will be rewarded! Mo Jiuwu looked at Aunt Yin with a somewhat cold gaze and said coldly.
Aunt Yin looked at the cold color in Mo Jiuwu's eyes, and was stunned, and her body was a little shocked unconsciously.
"The princess laughed, and the slave sent someone to send the princess back!" Aunt Yin said.
"Jokes? Hehe~ That's tired! Mo Jiuwu snorted coldly, and then staggered out.
Aunt Yin looked at Mo Jiuwu's back, her face a little ugly.
And at the gate of the palace here, Qingqing looked at Mo Jiuwu, who had not come back for a long time, and walked around the door uneasily.
"Why haven't you come back yet? Nothing will happen, right? No, it won't! Qingqing's face was full of worry, and he paced at the door anxiously.
"Miss Qingqing, don't worry, it may be that the Queen Mother left the princess to eat in the palace, so it's just delayed, don't worry, you are inconvenient, let's go in and wait!" The maid on the side spoke.
"Where can I sit, I'm fine, I'll wait here!" Qingqing refused.
"Qingqing, I understand your feelings, but now that your belly is so big, it's always inconvenient, so let's move a chair." Qianyi said from the side.
Hearing this, Qingqing nodded.
And at this moment, a carriage slowly drove towards the palace.
"It's back, it's back!" The sharp-eyed maid exclaimed.
Qingqing heard the words and hurriedly looked.
The carriage came slowly and gradually stopped at the gate of the palace.
"Princess!" Qingqing was overjoyed, protected his stomach with his hands, and hurriedly stepped forward.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, Mo Jiuwu walked out with a pale face, and when he got out of the carriage, his body was a little unstable, and he almost fell off the carriage, but fortunately he was supported by the maid on the side.
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
Seeing this, the maid on the side panicked.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Qingqing stepped forward anxiously, looked at Mo Jiuwu, who was pale, and said worriedly.
"It's okay! Go back first! Mo Jiu danced with his hand to support the maid on the side and spoke.
"The princess is resting, and the slave has gone back to her life!" Aunt Yin's words came from behind him.
"Please also ask Aunt Yin to thank the Queen Mother for her teaching today!" Mo Jiuwu didn't reply, but when he said the word "teaching", his tone was obviously aggravated.
Aunt Yin looked at Mo Jiuwu's back, thoughtful, and then got into the carriage and left.
When Aunt Yin left, Mo Jiuwu couldn't hold it anymore, her feet became weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Princess!" Qingqing exclaimed.
"I'm fine! Help me in! Mo Jiuwu said.
"Good! Get in! Qingqing greeted the maid on the side.
