Chapter 121
The Queen Mother nodded, and instructed the palace maid to bring a few pairs of her headdress, step shake, Jin Chuan, etc., which were considered gifts to Mo Jin, and of course she accepted them without hesitation.
If you can't test Yuan Lie, you will use her to criticize her, Mo Jin is very aggrieved, and these jewels should be regarded as a comfort to her.
The punishment of the two palace maids outside the hall continued, and the sound fell on Mo Jin's ears, making her shudder, her fists clenched and let go, let go and clenched, and her heart was extremely anxious.
Yuan Lie seemed to sense her emotions, and his warm, dry palm covered the back of her hand, and gently tapped it twice with his index finger to soothe Mo Jin.
This action surprised Mo Jin very much, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he turned his head to look at Yuan Lie as if he couldn't believe it, and as expected, he couldn't see anything except the side face covered by the silver mask and the smooth line of the chin.
She was a little unbelievable, His Royal Highness King Yi, who was as cold as iron, would actually comfort people! She suddenly wanted to see what the face looked like under the mask. I heard that it was ugly and scary, but I still wanted to see it.
……
was thinking wildly, suddenly, "Empress Dowager Qi," a guard walked in quickly, knelt on the ground and saluted, and said without waves: "Those two palace maids have already choked their breath." ”
"Okay, then drag it out of the palace and bury it." The Queen Mother raised her hand lazily, and her fingertips painted with red dankou were a little dazzling, and after she finished speaking, she also glanced at Yuan Lie meaningfully.
The latter did not react at all, and did not seem to see the Queen Mother's movements.
It was Mo Jin, who only felt that it was difficult to breathe and could not breathe. She was taught that all men are created equal, saying that no one has the right to deprive another of their lives.
Although she has now come to the feudal society, she has also tried her best to integrate herself into it, but when this kind of cannibalism happened in front of her, Mo Jin found that she couldn't face it calmly.
Fortunately, the deadlock at this moment was quickly broken - a middle-aged eunuch wearing a dark blue brocade robe and holding a dust whisk hurriedly trotted in from outside, and after saying hello to the Queen Mother, the emperor's dictation was transmitted.
It turned out that the emperor heard that Yuan Lie had entered the palace and summoned him to go to the imperial study immediately to discuss matters, and there must be no mistake.
In this way, after the two of them saluted the Queen Mother, they left Kunning Palace without staying for a moment.
After Yuan Lie and Mo Jin left, the Queen Mother didn't raise her head, as if she said to the air, "Come out." ”
Then, at the screen behind the chaise longue, a man dressed in black came out, and his face was covered with a black cloth, which was the same as the person who assassinated Yuan Lie yesterday.
The man in black bowed to the Queen Mother and said respectfully: "See the Queen Mother." "The voice was hoarse and rough.
"Excuse me," the Queen Mother still didn't raise her head, admiring her fingernails for a long time, before she slowly asked, "How is it, have you observed anything?" ”
The man shook his head and replied truthfully, "Yuan Yeol doesn't seem to be injured, but his subordinates did seriously injure his abdomen yesterday. ”
The Queen Mother slowly raised her head, and a trace of viciousness flashed in her lazy eyes, "Seriously injured?" If you look at him like that, where does it look like a serious injury? I sent someone to grab him on the stomach, and he didn't even move, but you told me he was seriously injured? ”
The black-clothed man's exposed eyes were also full of doubts, he sent twenty people to intercept and kill Yuan Lie, all of them were counter-killed, and the last one held a breath and told him that Yuan Lie was seriously injured, but today he came to Kunning Palace for verification, but found that Yuan Lie was not scathed at all.
"Smack!" swept the cup on the table to the ground, the tea splashed, and the cup shattered into several pieces, "It's not good to do such a little, what's the use of you!" ”
"The subordinates are not doing well, the Queen Mother atonements, please give the subordinates another chance." The man knelt down and begged for mercy.
The Queen Mother, who smashed the cup and was angry, spit out a breath in her chest, stared at the man kneeling on the ground, and said without waves: "Okay, give you another chance, remember, I can't kill him next time, it's you waste who dies, give me back and get punished!" ”
"Yes! Subordinates retire! As soon as the words fell, the man quickly walked out of Kunning Palace with the help of light skills, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared.
There were still about five hundred meters away from the imperial study, and Yuan Yeol and his party stopped.
"Lord Yi, please come here." The eunuch in the dark blue brocade robe accompanied him with a smiling face, and looked at Mo Jindao again, "Princess Yi, please go to the imperial garden to take a turn, the imperial study is an important place, and female dependents are not allowed to interfere in politics." ”
Mo Jin nodded when he heard this, and the eunuch immediately beckoned to call the two palace maids and asked them to accompany the princess to enjoy the imperial garden.
"Well, is your stomach okay?" Before leaving, Mo Jin approached Yuan Yeol and asked him in a voice that only two people could hear.
This posture seemed to outsiders as if the ears and temples were grinding, and the eunuch and the palace maid hurriedly lowered their heads when they saw this.
In fact, from witnessing Yuan Lie's stomach being caught in Kunning Palace, Mo Jin's entire heart was suspended, and the only thing she felt fortunate about was that fortunately Yuan Lie's wound was stitched up, otherwise it would be very likely to be caught open if she was forced to suffer so suddenly.
Although the acupuncture points are sealed now and the pain is not experienced, Mo Jin has a hunch that when the acupuncture point is unlocked, Yuan Lie will face indescribable severe pain.
didn't expect Mo Jin to take the initiative to care about his injury, Yuan Lie was stunned, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's okay." ”
Even if there was something to deal with now, Mo Jin didn't ask any more questions, and walked in the direction of the imperial garden, accompanied by the two palace maids.
As soon as I entered the imperial garden, Mo Jin was so shocked that he couldn't speak, because it was so beautiful - the corridor waist was back, the eaves were high pecked, all kinds of strange flowers and plants competed for beauty, the garden was full of ancient cypress and old acacia, and the strange stones of Yushan and potted flowers were listed...... Every place is like a painting.
All in all, the combination of natural scenery and artificial carving is seamless and complementary.
"You two don't have to follow, just go around by yourself." Mo Jin turned to look at the two palace maids behind him. In addition to Su Yan and Su Xin, she is also very unaccustomed to the feeling of strangers staring behind her.
Fortunately, the two palace maids were very sensible, since the princess had spoken in person, how could they not obey the reason, so they bowed and waited outside the imperial garden.
Mo Jin didn't really want to visit this huge imperial garden alone, she just wanted to have a quiet and relaxing environment to sort out what had happened in the past two days.
First, Yuan Lie was attacked, and then it was discovered that the crown prince and the queen mother were wearing jade pendants with the same decoration as the killer, and then the queen mother urgently recruited Yuan Lie into the palace for injury examination......
All these things add up, does it mean that the Queen Mother and the Prince want to kill Yuan Lie? So what is their motivation?
Mo Jin continued to think as he walked, and the back of the fluttering Na fell into a pair of deep and deep eyes, which were none other than the fourth prince Yuan Mochen.
The prince's is easy to figure out. Yuan Lie is not yet thirty years old, he is in a strong state, and he is quite popular in the court, and he also holds the military power in the northwest, which is likely to become an obstacle for the crown prince Yuan Chenyu to sit on the dragon chair, so Yuan Chenyu wants to kill him, which is completely in the past.
But what is the reason for the Queen Mother? She has nothing in her life and no heirs, if she wants to help Yuan Chenyu fight the country, it is really a little unreasonable.
Although the current queen and the queen mother belong to the same Chu family, no matter whether Yuan Chenyu succeeds to the throne in the future, it stands to reason that she will not be able to threaten the position of the queen mother, but why does she have to kill Yuan Lie? Is there any personal vendetta or deep hatred between the two?
Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly, a coquettish laughter came into Mo Jin's ears, which scared her a lot.
When he came back to his senses, Mo Jin found that he had walked far away, and the entrance to the Imperial Garden had long been out of sight. In front of me is a small palace hidden in the depths of a hundred flowers, chic and private, and there is no one around to handle it, and the laughter just now comes from the store.
Don't be afraid of encountering ghosts...... Mo Jin's arm suddenly got goosebumps, and the thought of the haunted stories about the palace that he had seen before made his legs a little weak.
As soon as I wanted to run away, I heard the voices of a man and a woman in the house, and the two were obviously doing something unscrupulous, it turned out that they were cheating!
Mo Jin didn't know whether to admire her "good luck", she bumped into this kind of thing when she came back, or should she say that the people of Lanhai Kingdom are really arrogant, this sun is hanging high, and they always love to play the drama of Xuanyin in the daytime.
With a wry smile, Mo Jin was about to turn around and leave, not to disturb the two "mandarin ducks" in the store. Who knows, the man's words made her stop abruptly.
I only heard the man in the hall say: "Concubine Hui, are you comfortable with your Royal Highness?" ”
!!!
Mo Jin's eyes were about to fall out of his eyes.
Concubine Hui, isn't that the emperor's wife? But the emperor was discussing things with Yuan Lie in the imperial study at this time, so this man was obviously Concubine Hui's concubine!
Moreover, that man claims to be His Highness! Looking at the entire Lanhai Kingdom, except for Yuan Lie, there are only the emperor's four sons left!
This voice is obviously not from Prince Yuan Chenyu, so this means that the man inside is one of the second, third, and fourth princes?!
Oh my God, it's really exciting, the emperor's son slept with the emperor's woman, and the emperor's woman cheated on the emperor's son...... Your circle is really messy.
At this moment, Mo Jin only felt that a green grassland should have grown on the emperor's head.
She didn't want to see this kind of thing at all, maybe she would have a long needle's eye after seeing it, Mo Jin rolled her eyes with disdain, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Click!" The branches that had just been repaired in the morning and had not had time to be cleaned up made a crisp sound after being stepped on by Mo Jin. In this tranquil garden, it is particularly clear and harsh.
She froze in place in an instant, at a loss. Sure enough, the two people who were "doing sports" in the room also stopped when they heard the sound outside the door, and then she heard the sound of the sword coming out of its sheath.
Concubine Hui exclaimed, "Your Highness, what are you doing?" ”
The man replied, "Go and kill the man outside the temple." ”
Mo Jin couldn't walk anymore at this time, although he was extremely scared in his heart, his legs were like not obeying the call, and he couldn't take a step no matter what.
Yuan Mochen, who had been following Mo Jin, also noticed her abnormality, and just wanted to step forward to help, but suddenly, a dark figure flashed in front of him, picked up Mo Jin, and jumped on the roof with a light tiptoe.
At the same time, the door of the palace was opened, and the disheveled second prince Yuan Xilin rushed out with a sword and a fierce god, but found nothing.
He glanced around with some confusion, but found no suspicious people or objects, and then retreated back into the temple and closed the door again.
Mo Jin didn't dare to take a breath on the roof at this time, and looked cautiously at the person holding her, feeling embarrassed and embarrassed, that's right, the person who saved her was Yuan Lie.
Sensing Mo Jin's gaze, Yuan Lie looked down at the woman in his arms, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
……
Did he misunderstand something? Mo Jin thought to himself, he must have misunderstood something! Anyway, she didn't mean to see those two cheating!
Yuan Lie didn't give her a chance to explain, and she lifted her luck to the next step, even if she was holding Mo Jin in her arms, she was still as light as a swallow, and between the ups and downs, she stayed away from the imperial garden.
After the two of them left, Yuan Mochen, who had been hiding behind the ancient locust tree, walked out slowly, glanced at the palace thoughtfully, and floated away.
Inside the carriage, Yuan Lie, whose abdominal acupoints had been unlocked, leaned against the wall of the carriage, his eyes were closed, and he didn't say a word.
But the beads of sweat the size of carob rolled down, and the fists were clenched together, obviously in pain.
"Lord Wang, let the concubine examine your wounds, right?" At this time, Mo Jin was simply full of guilt, originally Yuan Lie was caught by the palace maid today and was already sprinkling salt on the wound, and just now he forcibly saved her, which completely added fuel to the fire.
Yuan Lie didn't seem to hear Mo Jin's question, and still maintained the posture just now, enduring the pain with all his attention.
After asking a few more questions, seeing that Yuan Lie still didn't reply to him, Mo Jin simply didn't do anything, got up and half-knelt in front of Yuan Lie, and reached out to untie his belt and robe.
Miraculously, Yuan Lie didn't stop her from doing this, it is estimated that she has lost her mind in pain, Mo Jin thought to himself.
As soon as the robe was untied, Mo Jin suddenly felt weak.
I saw that the white middle coat on Yuan Lie's body was already soaked in blood, but fortunately, he was wearing a dark robe today, and he couldn't see it if he was stained with blood, otherwise this picture would be too terrifying.
Unbuttoning his middle and undershirt, as well as the gauze wrapped around his waist and abdomen, he saw that blood was bubbling from the stitches, but fortunately it was just scary to look at, and the thread was not broken, but the wound was torn again.
Taking out the snow-white silk silk from his arms, Mo Jin gently wiped the blood around the wound for Yuan Lie, turned his head to look at the car curtain, and asked a little anxiously: "Light breeze, do you bring gold sore medicine and gauze?" ”
"Bring it, Princess, and then." The breeze lifted the curtain and threw in a small cloth bag, which Mo Jin hurriedly caught.
However, what caught the eye was Yuan Lie's untidy clothes and breasts sitting on the seat, and the princess was squatting between his legs, this picture is really imaginative.
Although through a layer of curtains, the princess could hear every word she said to her prince clearly, but the scene at this moment still made him blush, and he lowered the curtain with a "swish" and accelerated the speed of the car.
"It's inexplicable." Mo Jin whispered.
Wrapping gauze around Yuan Lie's good medicine again, Mo Jin suddenly felt relieved, and simply sat on the stall and raised his hand to fan himself.
Inadvertently, her eyes fell on Baili Yuanlie's open chest, although she already knew that Yuanlie had an excellent figure last time, but when she saw the right chest muscles and abdominal muscles again, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
This body containing infinite power is not what a pampered prince and prince should have, presumably Yuan Lie must have practiced martial arts, otherwise he would not have been so outstanding in martial arts and light skills.
Thinking about it, Mo Jin's sinful little hand stretched out towards Yuan Lie's abdominal muscles little by little......
Seeing that he was about to touch it, a low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from above, and Yuan Lie lowered his eyes and looked at Mo Jin, "What are you doing?" ”
As soon as the voice came out, Mo Jin was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, hid his hand behind his back like a conditioned reflex, and explained dryly: "Hehe, no...... Didn't do anything. ”
Who knew that the sleeves were thrown ruthlessly, and a paper ball was thrown out of it, and the eyes of the two fell on it.
It was about a few seconds of silence before Mo Jin suddenly reacted, this was the sketch she had stuffed into her sleeve in the morning! Grabbing the sketch and stuffing it back into his sleeve, Mo Jin began to look left and right as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, she was also veiled, otherwise the panic on her face would have been exposed. Just kidding, if YY Wonyeol's painting was seen by him, maybe he wouldn't tear her up.
She hasn't gotten the manuscript fee yet, and she can't be heroic and righteous!
"Arise, and the princess sits on the ground like what she says." Yuan Lie didn't investigate what she was hiding, but just reminded Mo Jin to pay attention to her demeanor, and the corners of her lips under the mask were slightly hooked.
"Oh." Mo Jin got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, and sat back in his original position.
Seeing this, Yuan Lie shook his head helplessly, "How did Prime Minister Mo raise you?" ”
He was really incomprehensible, the longer he got along, the more he found that Mo Jin became more and more informal, and even a little eccentric, not only completely different from the results of the investigation, even if he looked at the entire Lanhai Kingdom, I was afraid that he would not be able to find a second official lady who wanted her to be so arrogant.
What made him feel even more unbelievable was that Mo Hongzhang was notoriously old-fashioned, and he attached great importance to etiquette, and it was absolutely impossible for his daughter to teach his daughter the virtue she has today.
Of course, he didn't find it annoying.
Mo Jin knew that Yuan Lie was scolding herself for being uneducated, pouting, and didn't plan to reply, but she was embarrassed not to speak, so she simply diverted the topic, planning to talk about something else to pass the time.
"Lord Wang, the concubine has something I want to tell you." Mo Jin made a look of wanting to speak and stopped.
Yuan Lie, who couldn't bear the pain and couldn't bear it, lifted his eyelids and glanced at Mo Jin, signaling her to say goodbye to ink if she had something to say.
"Then I can say it," Mo Jin cleared his throat and whispered in a low voice, "Before you saved me, I heard some conversation between a man and a woman inside. ”
"Oh?" Wonyeol's tone was full of doubt.
Mo Jin shrugged his nose, relieved his nervousness a little, and said, "I heard that man calling the woman Concubine Huiniang, and the woman calling the man ...... Your Highness. ”
