Chapter 104: A dilemma
The two of them were tired of being crooked for a while, and Yuan Shao really shouldn't stay for a long time, so under Zimo's repeated "drives", he slipped out of Fangzhai the same way. After he left, Zimo took out the ivory relief amulet that Yuan Shao had given her hidden under the pillow and stroked it carefully.
"Yo! This is the token of love he left you? Where are you two going? Zimo was shocked by the sudden ridicule, and quickly stuffed the amulet back under the pillow. Then the voice sneered again and said, "What are you still hiding?" I've seen it a long time ago! ”
"Amo, come out!" Although he deliberately changed his female voice to speak, Zimo, who was familiar with Amo, still knew his true identity as soon as he heard it.
"Oops, I still can't hide it from you, it's so boring!" Dressed as a woman, Amo calmly pushed the door in.
"When did you come?" Ah Mo's martial arts are extremely high, how long he has been lurking, Zimo can't detect it at all.
"Came early! Early arrival...... It's time for that stupid boy to 'detoxify' you, and I'm almost cold to death." Amo pointed to the roof and smiled maliciously.
"You!" Zimo couldn't help blushing and being shy when she thought that her ambiguous interaction with Xian Yuanshao just now was all seen by her friend Ah Mo.
"Boy Mo, you tell your brother, since you like that stinky boy, why don't you listen to your master and marry him? Thanks to my brother's kindness, he wanted to 'help' you cook raw rice and cooked rice, but you wasted a piece of my heart, and you really didn't eat oil and salt! ”
"Are you embarrassed to talk about yesterday? You're clearly trying to kill me! After she came back, she finally figured out that the pot used to hold the wine at that time was a mandarin duck pot at all, with normal wine on one side and wine with * on the other.
*It is clearly prepared by the county lord of Huan Zhen for Xianyuan Shao! The wine jug had always been in her hand before, and the county lord of Huan Zhen had no chance to activate the mechanism to pour out the problematic wine to Xianyuan Shao, and then she finally seized the opportunity, but unexpectedly, Ah Mo came out to stir up the situation. Amo took advantage of the chaos to steal her and Yuan Shao's wine glasses, and as a result, the wine was drunk by himself.
The purpose of Amo doing this is to lose himself to Yuanshao, and then naturally promote the marriage of the two. But this method was by no means come up with by Amo himself, either it was Zixiao's idea of Nizi, or ...... It can only be Qin Yan's instructions! At the thought of the latter possibility, Zimo shuddered.
"That's a bad word! How could I hurt you? You and the second immortal son are already in love, seeing that the two of you are entangled, I am also anxious for you, right? That's why I just want to add fuel to the fire. Ah Mo smiled disappreciably, still not serious.
"Phew! Do you have such help? Isn't a girl's reputation important at all? It's up to you to come up with a way to push me into the fire pit like this! Zimo was really a little angry.
"Zimo, you must know that some things are indeed more important than reputation...... I'm sure you know what I mean. "God knows how struggled and conflicted he was when he accepted this task!
"What are you coming to me for? You don't really want to see if I'm lost in Xianyuanshao, right? Zimo glanced at Ah Mo.
"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's the master who asked me to talk. Zimo, it's still the same sentence, the master doesn't want to hurt you, and he has no intention of going against the immortal family, he just needs "Ran Xiao Art of War"! Amo explained what he meant.
"You know that this art of war is an heirloom treasure of the immortal family, how do you want me to talk to him?" Zimo didn't understand why Qin Yan was so obsessed with the Art of War.
"So, the master hopes that you can marry into the Immortal Mansion, so that it will be much easier to seize this treasure. Perhaps...... Xianyuan Shao loves you so much that he is even willing to give up the art of war for you? Mo once again affirmed Qin Yan's wishes to her.
"Impossible! I will not use deception to help you achieve your goals. The master has abandoned me, and I will not meddle in your affairs anymore. Zimo refused, how could she deceive Xian Yuanshao, who simply liked her?
"Heh, Zimo, ask yourself, did the master abandon you, or did you betray us? Since you entered the palace, what has you done to satisfy your master? Isn't it all Zixiao contributing? Zixiao discovered the secret of Concubine Zhuang and King Jing, but you stopped you from reporting it; The master wants to expose them, and you actually beg the master to let them go; The master asked you to deceive the immortal family's art of war, and you also pushed back...... Zimo, since when did you start to become so disobedient? You have only served Concubine Zhuang for two years, but the Horse Mansion has raised you for more than ten years, why do you have to turn your back on your master and become Concubine Zhuang's person? Mo sat on the edge of Zimo's bed, gently stroked her cheek and said pityfully.
"That's because...... Because Concubine Zhuang is a good person, if the master wants to take revenge on the emperor, he will target the emperor alone, why implicate the innocent? "What's more, what Qin Yan is doing now is not limited to disturbing the harem, his various actions have already threatened the Chaogang Sheji! His frenzied revenge went beyond the scope of the emperor personally, and to put it more seriously, it was already involved in the suspicion of possible overthrow of the dynasty. If that's the case, then the sin is too great for her to bear, and the whole Pony Mansion can't afford it!
"Innocent? Then do you think Princess Yinghua is innocent? Are all the masters who have been immersed in pain and remorse for many years innocent? Moreover...... The imperial concubine had an affair with the prince, do you dare to say that they are innocent? Amo sneered contemptuously.
"They didn't do anything too much!" Zimo knew that her defense was pale and weak.
"Their private intercourse is already the biggest transgression. Forget it, let's not talk about them, let's talk about you and Xian Yuanshao. Ah Mo instantly turned back into a smile, nodded the tip of his nose and said: "You'd better listen to your master's words, marry Xianyuan Shao obediently, and then find a way to get the art of war for your master." If you succeed, the master assures you that this will be your last participation in our operation, and whatever happens in the Pony Mansion will not matter to you in the future. Come to think of it, in fact, the master is very good to you! He allowed you to leave the organization and find a wishful husband for you, and with the protection of the immortal family, he will be able to ensure that you are safe for the rest of your life, what else do you have to hesitate about? "Amo was bitter and kind to persuade him.
"What if I refuse?" Zimo suddenly felt that the nerves in her whole body were broken for a moment, and she was weak and gently leaned on Amo's shoulder.
"Alas! You kid, why doesn't it make sense? Ah Mo flicked Zimo's forehead hard, and said, "If you don't obey, the master doesn't have to keep the agreement with you." Zimo, there are not so many world-best things in the world...... Protect Concubine Zhuang or Xianyuan Shao, you can choose for yourself. What he meant was that if she didn't agree to cheat the art of war, Qin Yan would make the scandal of Concubine Zhuang and King Jing public.
"You're pushing me...... Let me think about it...... "Under the expediency, Zimo can only accept it first, and then think about it in the long run."
"Don't think about it for too long, the master's patience is limited." Ah Mo touched Zimo's hair lovingly, and suddenly thought: "Alas, to be honest, I'm really a little reluctant for you to marry that stinky boy." Who's to say you like, though? He treats you sincerely. It's really a big girl, I can only admit it......" Amo picked up Zimo's face, looked at her seriously for a moment, and finally gently dropped a kiss on her forehead: "Zimo, you are different from us after all, you will be happy, definitely!" ”
"Why are you suddenly sad?" Zimo tucked back a strand of white sideburns that Mo had accidentally exposed to the outside of the wig's bun.
"Is there one? Let's talk about some happy things! It's a pity that you didn't go to Jiaofeng Garden today, and you once celebrated the style of the class! That's a good new Dao Ma Dan! It can be seen that the kung fu foundation is very good, and it can be compared with you. "Moo seems to be very interested in Xi Bing.
"You men, what's going on your head! Counting the hour, the drama is almost over, you should leave quickly, don't be seen. Zimo lay back and turned his back to Amo.
"Well, you unconscionable girl! Then I'm gone. Ah Mo walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and reminded Zimo: "Zimo, although Xian Yuanshao is reckless and incomprehensible, it is undeniable that he is a good man. Good men are very 'sought-after', so you need to make a decision as soon as possible! ”
Zimo lazily raised her body and looked in the direction of Ah Mo, and was surprised to find that Ah Mo was carrying an ivory relief amulet in her hand, she subconsciously touched under the pillow, and sure enough, her one was gone. Immediately he sat up and anxiously begged him: "Give it back to me!" ”
Mo shook his head with a wicked smile and said, "No! That's my bargaining chip. If you don't get Xian Yuanshao as soon as possible, I will give this 'love token' to the county lord Huan Zhen who has coveted him for a long time. I believe she will be willing to help me with this, and you won't regret crying when the time comes! ”
"Wait a minute!" Without waiting for Zimo to chase after him, Amo disappeared like a gust of wind. Zimo sat weakly by the door, is there really no other way? Zimo, who was in a dilemma, was entangled in a mess in his heart.
Zimo was in a depressed mood, and she didn't even use dinner, and Li Jingxi and Liuli felt a little strange, but they didn't deliberately bother her. Zimo can't eat here, but compared to the emperor in Yonghe Zhai on the other side, he has a great appetite.
That day, Jinghua was announced to serve in Yonghezhai, and then she didn't come out again, and she went to bed at night. The next day, the emperor gave Jinghua the position of picking a woman and gave her the place to live in the palace to listen to the rain. As soon as this oracle came out, it was time for some people to sleep, whether it was a few people in the palace right now, or those in the palace who would hear the news in the near future.
Jinghua, who got the seal, did not listen to the Yuge directly, but first returned to Qingshui Building to ask Liu Cairen for peace.
"Concubines, thank you for your help! The great grace concubines of talented people are unforgettable, and the noble concubines will not forget them. Jinghua knelt in front of Liu Youmeng and kowtowed to her to thank her.
"Jingcai girl, please get up quickly, how can I accept such a big gift from you? As long as Jingcai Nu and Ke Gui Concubine don't forget to take me with them when they fly in the future, I will be satisfied. Liu Youmeng motioned to the maid Zhiyi to help Jinghua up.
The two chatted a few more words, and Jinghua took her leave. After returning to Tingyu Pavilion, she immediately asked Xiao Luzi to return to the palace with the news of "it's done" and return to Luo Zixiao first.
