Chapter 345: The First Encounter
The person standing in front of Zhao Mingsheng was indeed Yunyan, but now Yunyan has become Xiao Mu he doesn't know. He was not wrong to know Yun Yan's eyes, but it was naturally impossible for Feng Linglou to let Yun Yan get close to Zhao Mingsheng to let Yun Yan use her original appearance.
However, in Yunyan's cognition, everything that the phantom arranged for her was to protect herself. And her mission this time is to assassinate Zhao Mingsheng.
Because Zhao Mingsheng is pressing on the Qiang Kingdom step by step, although Feng Ling is now determined to eradicate Zhao Mingsheng first, and she naturally does not dare to fight Zhao Mingsheng on the front with the power of her Feng Ling Tower, so the phantom will appear in this place with the current Xiao Mu, that is, the former cloud smoke.
Those who came out to watch were shocked by the scene they witnessed, someone dared to do something to Zhao Mingsheng, and he was a dancer. Just when many people were secretly mourning for Xiao Mu, the eighth prince suddenly walked out of it.
He stood in front of Zhao Mingsheng and said with a smile: "It was the mistake of this king, I didn't expect that rabbits also bite people." Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince okay? ”
Zhao Mingsheng ignored Hu Lian's words and kept staring at Xiao Mu, in the face of Zhao Mingsheng's gaze, Xiao Mu didn't mean to be afraid at all, but also stared at him for a moment.
In the end, it was Zhao Mingsheng who took the lead in speaking: "Since the rabbit accidentally made a mistake, what does the imperial uncle plan to do?" ”
Zhao Mingsheng didn't believe that those eyes would be someone else's, how could they not be Yunyan? But the person standing alive in front of him really reminded him that this person was not Yunyan.
Because of the huge impact, Zhao Mingsheng couldn't accept everything in front of him. But obviously now is not a good time for confrontation, so he wants to take Xiao Mu away and ask her who she really is.
But as soon as Zhao Mingsheng's words fell, Hu Lian naturally put his hand on Xiao Mu's waist and pulled her into his arms. He seemed to have gained insight into what Zhao Mingsheng meant, "It was the king's mistake to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have such a thing happen, but this is the king's most beloved rabbit, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can show mercy to my face." ”
Hongmeng only went out for a while, and he went to help Zhao Mingsheng prepare the carriage and horses, but he didn't expect that when he came back to find Zhao Mingsheng, it would become such a scene here.
Zhao Mingsheng looked at the people who were in a hurry around him, he knew that his every move was watched by others, although he didn't care, but the habit of politicians all the time made him consciously restrain his edge.
"I don't know where Uncle Huang found the rabbit, my nephew is very curious!"
"Oh, there are a lot of things in this world, the more you ask for nothing, the more you will get nothing, I like the things I send to my door."
Zhao Mingsheng knew what Hu Lian meant, and he snorted coldly and planned to leave. But when he passed by Hu Lian's side, he heard Hu Lian ask: "Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plan to see it before leaving?" ”
If it's not his, what's the need to see it?
Zhao Mingsheng thought about it, but when he turned his head and inadvertently met those eyes, his heart still trembled, he knew that he couldn't stay, this matter was obviously deliberately arranged by someone, so Zhao Mingsheng knew that they still had a chance to meet again.
"Your Highness, what just happened?"
Hongmeng, who was following Zhao Mingsheng, saw that Zhao Mingsheng was distracted on horseback, and couldn't help but open his mouth to inquire about what happened in the palace just now, Hongmeng didn't see Xiao Mu at that time, so he didn't know that Zhao Mingsheng had just experienced that thrilling.
Zhao Mingsheng didn't pay attention to Hongmeng, but when he was about to walk to the prince's mansion, Zhao Mingsheng still gave Hongmeng a task.
"You go find out who that woman is!"
"Huh? Which woman? ”
"It's the woman we saw in Zuifang Mansion before, and now she has appeared in Hu Lian's mansion again. I've got some bad premonitions, so go check her identity. ”
Zhao Mingsheng knew that Hu Lian had always been dissatisfied with him, but he had never regarded Hu Lian as his enemy, after all, in Zhao Mingsheng's eyes, he didn't look down on Hu Lian's little tricks at all. But now he doesn't know if it's because he thinks of Yunyan so he is out of proportion or if he feels something, he always feels that the woman is not as simple as he imagined.
Xiao Mu quietly retreated from the banquet after the dance, and today was the first step in her head-to-head confrontation with Zhao Mingsheng. But Xiao Mu herself didn't know why, when facing Zhao Mingsheng, she always felt very uneasy in her heart, and her heart would be very chaotic.
After only knowing about this matter, the phantom only comforted Xiao Mu and said, "Maybe you still remember that man's persecution of your whole family, so you can't help but be afraid of him when you face him." ”
Xiao Mu often wondered if he was really afraid of Zhao Mingsheng, but the answer he got was that he didn't know. That feeling of distraction didn't seem to be fear, but when she tasted it herself, she couldn't tell what it was, what was it if she wasn't afraid?
Now Mu Mo is busy dealing with the attack of Hu all day long, although the situation has eased recently, but for the Qiang State where everything is still in ruins, it is not as good as Mu Mo expected.
On this day, Mu Mo had a headache because of the dispute with Hu on the border of Qiang State, and when Mu Mo was drunk because no one told him, Feng Ling was silently by his side. Mu Mo, who was already drunk and unconscious, took Feng Ling's hand and said, "Yan'er, it's not me, it's really not me, I don't have the ...... to hurt you."
The guilt buried deep in his heart was something that Mu Mo never said to anyone, he had remorse, he was unwilling and resentful, but for that woman, all he had left in his heart was guilt and regret.
Feng Ling listened to Mu Mo's words quietly, but for some reason a little tear flowed from the corner of her eye. Because of meeting this man, she slowly felt that she was no longer a cold machine, but really living in this world, but what kind of feeling was this now?
Feng Ling touched the tear in the corner of her eye, she was happy, lost, stunned and a little scared. Tears are another form of loss, the crystal clear droplets that were originally part of your body, but are separated from your body because of joy or sadness.
Feng Ling had lost too many things, and now she couldn't help but be scared when she felt the feeling of tears again.
Looking at the man in front of him, watching him clenching his hand, for a moment, Feng Ling seemed to know what he had lost.
Because this period of time is the adaptation period for sending Yunyan out, Feng Ling will inevitably have to confirm a lot of news with the phantom. Although all this was arranged by Feng Ling, it also made Xue'er, who had been by her side, suspicious.
Xue'er spread the news to Mu Cong, and Mu Cong also became vigilant. Originally, all of this was a secret contest between them, but in the end, because Mu Mo announced in the court that Feng Ling had a motherly appearance, he planned to canonize Feng Ling as the queen.
The reason why Mu Mo made this decision was also because after waking up that day, he found that he was lying on the bed, and there was a woman lying beside the bed who was guarding him, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
This ordinary moment made Mu Mo feel that if there was a woman who wanted to stay by his side in the future, it must be like this. Although he didn't dispel his suspicions about Feng Ling, he did start to feel moved by her.
But what was unexpected was that Mu Cong openly opposed Mu Mo's decision after the court. His reasoning is that the mother of a country must have a clean family background and a strong family background. Obviously, Mu Cong proposed these things that Feng Ling did not have, but Mu Mo said that he didn't care about them.
"Mo'er, don't forget how many people in the Qiang Kingdom are eyeing your position now, if you can't marry a powerful woman of the maternal clan as your pillar, I'm afraid that some people will replace you!"
Mu Mo sneered and looked at his father and said, "Father, do you think I will care about this?" What's the point of relying on women to hold even the position of power? ”
"You ......"
Mu Cong knew that he was talking now, but Mu Mo had no right to ask him for anything more, looking at Mu Mo's resolute departure, Mu Cong could only sigh: "Hey~ I regret it at the beginning!" ”
Because of Mu Cong's statement, there was also a very strong decision to oppose Feng Ling's canonization of the queen, but some people opposed it and some people agreed, and they also praised Feng Ling for a while.
But these are not Mu Mo's concerns, this matter has long been decided in his heart. When Feng Ling knew that the previous dynasty was arguing over her own affairs, it was already time for things to settle down, so she stood beside Mu Mo and quietly helped him study ink. Mu Mo noticed Feng Ling's gaze from time to time, and couldn't help but finally ask, "Is there something you want to say?" ”
Feng Ling put down the ink strip in her hand, raised her head, nodded at Shangmu Mo's inquiring gaze, and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has caused a lot of criticism for the sake of your concubines?" ”
"You've heard about this?"
Feng Ling nodded, this incident was so unexpected to her that Feng Ling couldn't help but start wondering if it was true when she heard the news.
"Now that you've heard about it, you should know that this matter has nothing to do with you, and my mind is not something they can control."
Feng Ling looked at Mu Mo, who had a firm tone, and couldn't help but ask, "If the concubine has the power of the maternal clan that can support His Majesty, will Your Majesty be happy?" ”
"Hmph~ Do you think I'm the kind of man who needs to rely on women?"
He wasn't, Feng Ling knew from the beginning that Mu Mo wasn't. That's why he rejected the trade of the red-blooded skeleton in the ancient cave, so Feng Ling kept hiding his identity from Mu Mo. In fact, Feng Ling felt that if Mu Mo was a person who would rely on women to realize her ambitions, maybe she would be able to do it better, at least then she would no longer have to hide her identity, and the relationship with Mu Mo at that time would not be sincere, but pure interests.
Once a woman surrenders her sincerity, she becomes nervous and uneasy. This is the truth that Feng Ling didn't understand until the end, and now that she looks at the man who is smiling at her, she can be sure that she didn't choose the wrong person.
