Chapter 309: Steady Odds
Her gesture in front of him was not exaggerated, but for Mo Gongxuan, it was a kind of provocation and disdain.
When everyone saw this, they were puzzled.
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom sat high on it, his hand slowly raised and rested on the armrest of the dragon chair, gently tapped, his eyes were deep and deep, looking at the two of them, maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, as for how they secretly competed, he didn't care, as long as whoever had something, who was eligible to get his jade seal and inherit the throne.
"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so sure that the thing is in your hands, then take it out for everyone to see, don't just say it and don't do it." Mo Gongxuan's eyes sank, and he looked at her with cold eyes, and his words were clear.
If it weren't for someone there, he really wanted to twist her neck and let her stop dangling in front of him so arrogantly.
And the thing is obviously in her own hands, but she said in front of everyone that she has it? Is it a fictitious thing, or is she just playing tricks?
She has been eccentric since she was a child, and she has always liked to play scheming with people, he can be happy to accompany him, things are in his hands, what is he afraid of.
That batch of treasures was when he jumped down from the bottom of the deep pool in the Holy Sect Prison and swam outside, and when he climbed ashore, he inadvertently found a deep hole, at first he was just curious, and thought that it was the living base of the mermaid there, and he thought that he would try his luck and maybe be lucky enough to get the mermaid beads.
But who knows, after entering the cave, he found that it was full of treasure chests full of gold and silver treasures, and he did not suspect that it was the lost treasure of the previous dynasty, and it was then that he saw the banner of the dynasty engraved at the bottom of the box, and he was sure that this batch of treasures hidden in the deep cave was the lost treasure that had been rumored to be rumored by the dynasty.
Mo Gongyin ignored his seeping eyes, the corners of his lips hooked, smiled indifferently, then lowered his hand to meet his fierce and beautiful eyes, and said, "I will naturally take out the things, but, third brother, don't you also have treasures!" It's not as good as this! In front of our father and the civil and military officials, we brought the treasures that each of us said, whether it was true or not, we could see at a glance. ”
The things have been replaced, and she is completely sure of the odds, but she just wants Mo Gongxuan to lose convincingly, this time, she wants to completely solve the estrangement between him and her, grievances, and the two do not owe each other.
Mo Gongxuan's face froze when he heard this, slowly narrowed his peach blossom eyes, frowned slightly, and pondered the credibility of what she said, the smile on her face was a little weird, as if she was very sure, so that he couldn't guess what trick she was playing for a while!
After pondering for a long time, he replied, "Okay, take it." ”
When Mo Gongyin heard his words, her shining and enchanting eyes flashed with a glint of light, and she said, "Today, we will decide the winner in one game, how about it?"
Mo Gongxuan's face was shocked, and he frowned at her: "What do you mean?" ”
He remembered that he had said in the Holy Sect that if she came back to save her father and cure her mother's illness, he would admit defeat. He had heard about her curing his mother's illness, and his father, she should not be able to convince him. The estrangement between them has existed since childhood, and if she could let go of it so easily, she would not come back and still want to take the throne.
All the people present listened to the conversation between the two of them with puzzled expressions, completely confused, and confused.
The Emperor of Mexico's movements remained unchanged, his eyes sank slightly, and he looked at the two of them with sharp eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing, thoughtfully.
"If I win this time, all the grudges between the two of us will be written off from now on, and you won't come to me again." Mo Gongyin's eyes shone brightly, looking at him, the smile on his face gradually cooled down, his eyes were solemn, his tone was unusually firm, and he said word by word: "If I lose, I will cut myself in front of you, and if I owe you, I will pay it off at once, and none of us owe anyone, and we don't owe each other." ”
When she said this, she felt a faint pain in her heart, as if she had made a very difficult choice.
There are some things in the past that are unbearable to look back on. And some people can't remember it.
She made her words clear, and she had already said it very clearly, very clearly.
She wanted to use this matter to make a decision, instead of dwelling endlessly, it was better to decide whether to win or lose, whether to live or die, and to have a result.
When they heard what she said, everyone was shocked and suspicious, they are all brothers, why should they become so fratricidal for the sake of a throne?
Seeing that her expression was so determined, her face was so calm, her gaze staring at her became cold and ruthless, and he said in a deep voice: "According to your wishes, we will divide the winners and losers here today, and if I lose, I will disappear in front of you from now on." If I win, I will sacrifice her soul with your blood and your flesh. ”
His words were so harsh, so broken.
Mo Gongyin listened to his words, and every word was like a sharp dagger, stabbing into her heart fiercely, stirring her heart.
She silently watched the emotional changes on his face, a faint wry smile on her beautiful cheeks, and spit out a word in a hard voice: "Good." ”
No matter how much he hurt her, how much he hated her, after doing so many things, she still couldn't think about asking him to die, or hurt him in the slightest.
I don't think it's because of Feng Zixuan, but because he is her brother, a biological brother with the same blood.
If she can use the treasure to make him completely awake and wake up from the pain of Feng Zixuan's death, she really hopes that he can return to the kind, gentle, and bewitching man he used to be.
Mo Gongxuan didn't know what she was thinking, just stared at the bitter smile on the corner of her lips, her heart trembled, there was a kind of emptiness, and it seemed like something was burning, which was very uncomfortable.
"Someone." He looked away from her, and turned his head directly to the outside and whispered coldly.
A guard ran in and knelt in front of him: "My subordinates knock on the prince." ”
Mo Gongxuan instructed the guard: "Send this thing to the Chunfeng Building on West Street, naturally someone will hand over a batch of things to you, and you can transport all those things into the palace." As he spoke, he took a piece of white paper from his sleeve and handed it to the guard.
The guard looked up, then reached out and took the paper in his hands, got up and walked out.
After he saw the guards leave, he turned to look at Mo Gongyin, who was also looking at him, his evil eyes raised slightly, and he seemed to be proud: "I have ordered someone to take the treasure, what about you?" It's time to send someone to get it! ”
"The treasure has been transported to the palace, just outside the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mellow, deep voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
The voice was none other than Nancheng Xun.
He walked in towards the outside of the hall, followed by the queen Rong Shuli, and Qing'er helped her into the hall slowly. Seeing the three of them, everyone was surprised, and all the courtiers hurriedly saluted Rong Shuli and Nancheng Xun.
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom stared, and there was a hint of softness in his voice: "Queen, why are you here?" ”
Nancheng Xun walked in and stood with Mo Gongyin when they walked in.
Rong Shuli's body was still so weak, he raised his eyes to look at the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom, and replied: "The concubine heard that Xuan'er had returned, so she wanted to come and see him." After that, his eyes wandered, looking at Mo Gongxuan who was standing aside, smiling, and whispering: "Xuan'er." ”
Mo Gongxuan's face was expressionless, he glanced at her, and did not respond.
Rong Shuli felt a pain in his heart, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Mother, you are not in good health, why don't you lie down and recuperate, and come out to blow the wind." Mo Gongyin saw the grief in Rong Shuli's eyes, so he walked over to support her, looked sideways at Qing'er, his eyes were sharp, and he reproached: "How do you take care of your mother, this palace has told her a thousand times not to get her up." ”
When Qing'er heard this, her face changed, and she quickly knelt down, "The slave should die." ”
Rong Shuli tugged at Mogong Yin's sleeve and shook his head: "Yin'er, don't blame Qing'er, I'm here myself, I've already heard about you and Xuan'er." ”
Mo Gongyin's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyes to look at Nancheng Xun who was standing aside, it must have been his idea.
Even if you call the concubine? Can you stop Mo Gongxuan? Can you change the selfish attitude of the old emperor?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little somber.
All civil and military officials have a kind of mind, eyes and noses, and noses and hearts.
Seeing that the atmosphere gradually became cold, the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom glanced directly over everyone, and finally landed on Nancheng Xun's body, and asked with a pleasant face: "Nandi, the treasure you just said is outside the palace?" But really? ”
The topic goes straight back to the topic.
Yes! Nancheng Xun said just now that the treasure is outside the palace, is this true?
Speaking of this, everyone was nervous, eager to see if this so-called treasure really existed, and feast their eyes on it.
Mo Gong Yin's eyes flickered, staring at Nan Chengxun's narrow ink eyes, and the two pairs of eyes looked at each other, intersecting different information.
He said, believe him.
She raised her eyebrows indifferently, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked.
Mo Gongxuan looked at them like this, squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, only to see Nancheng Xun turn to face the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom, his handsome face was solemn, and replied: "Whether it is true or not, you can see it at a glance." When the words fell, he raised his palm and clapped it twice.
Bang bang...
Two applause fell, everyone's eyes were surprised, curiously looked outside the hall, only to see several black-clothed people carrying wooden boxes from the outside and walking in, putting them in the center of the hall, back and forth, one after another black-clothed people carried twenty-six wooden boxes in the hall.
Looking at this box of wooden boxes, everyone's eyes were focused on it, just wanting to see what was going on.
Mo Gongxuan stood in place, with a gloomy and charming face, the appearance of the box was completely new, completely different from the treasure chest he had found, and it was not so old.
But with so many boxes of jewelry, could it be that Mo Gongyin deliberately borrowed silver from the north and Nanjing in order to win him?
Looking at these 20 or so wooden boxes, how much silver do they have to hold?
Even if they borrowed from the two countries, they couldn't have lent her so much silver?
Unable to be urged by everyone, the people arranged by Nancheng Xun have already unlocked each box lid in public and opened it.
When the lid was opened, everyone gasped and were stunned and disbelieving when they saw the contents of the box.
Even Mo Gongxuan was shocked on the spot by this box of jewelry.
How is that possible?
When the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom saw those gold and silver treasures, his pupils opened slightly, his mood was surging, and his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but step down the steps and walk to the front of each box, stretching out his hand to touch the cold touch of the thing inside.
When you touch it, you can really feel that it is real, genuine.
"Good, good, good..... Yin'er really lived up to my trust and really found the treasure. Looking at the boxes of white gold bars, jewelry, and pearls, he couldn't suppress the throbbing of joy in his heart.
Mo Gongyin's face was pale, and he slowly shifted his gaze to Mo Gongxuan, who had a gloomy face, this batch of treasures was obtained by him with great difficulty, I don't know if he would be mad on the spot when he saw the things in the boxes he had brought into the palace.
"Thank you for your father's compliment." She replied in a calm tone.
"Next, look at what Xuan'er brought into the palace, if Xuan'er's hand is really a treasure, then doesn't it mean that the dynasty will separate this batch of treasures?" The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom had a pleasant face, turned around, and looked at Mo Gongxuan.
When Mo Gongxuan heard this, his heart suddenly lost his heart, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Or maybe it's to hide people's eyes and ears to be so worried." The person who interjected was Prime Minister Wei Cheng, who had been dull and silent, and he asked bluntly: "But, Your Majesty, if the treasures in the hands of the two princes are true, how can the matter of establishing a new monarch be judged?" ”
This is also a very serious matter.
Isn't it possible to make them emperors?
"Impossible." Before the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom could reply, Mo Gongyin had already interrupted first.
Everyone looked at her in confusion, wondering what she meant.
"Why did Yin'er say this?" The Emperor of Mexico frowned and asked rhetorically.
Mo Gong Yin's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Mo Gong Xuan, who was also surprised, his eyes swept over the treasures placed in the hall, and replied: "Father, there are only these treasures in the dynasty, all of them are here, and the ancients of the past dynasties did not divide the treasures into two. ”
"From this point of view, you mean to say that Xuan'er's treasure is fake? He wants to deceive me? The Emperor of Mexico's face sank when he heard this, and he asked in a cold voice.
This changes face faster than a book?
Mo Gongxuan couldn't help but sneer: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you want to spew blood, you have to come up with some real evidence?" ”
"I didn't want to spew blood, I just talked about things." Mo Gongyin retorted.
"Talking about things later?" Mo Gongxuan's eyes were sharp, he glared at her, and said coldly: "Don't think that with Nanjing City and the Northern Kingdom to support you, you think that you can win me, it's really ignorant." ”
"Xuan'er, how can you ...... with Ling" Rong Shuli heard Mo Gongxuan's words, and her heart hurt, so she reprimanded her, but she almost said the wrong thing, but fortunately she changed it in time: "How can you say that Yin'er is also your brother, how can you speak to him with such an attitude?" Is it so important to you that much to win or lose? ”
"Yes, winning or losing is important to me, if I had the ability and power at the beginning, I would not have let my beloved woman die tragically, let alone let her end up with no bones." Mo Gongxuan's eyes were sharp, as sharp as X-rays, he stared straight at Rong Shuli, and roared with a painful face: "All of this is due to you, it is you who ruined your son's happiness and happiness with your own hands, so the person who is least qualified to teach me is you." ”
By the end, he was almost screaming.
"I ......" Rong Shuli heard his words, every word was so poignant, she looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Do you want to hate me for the rest of your life?" ”
"yes, I just hate you." Mo Gongxuan was a little excited, and his voice was trembling.
Rong Shuli was so heartbroken that he cried bitterly.
"Mo Gongxuan, are you crazy? Do you know how hurtful these words are? Mo Gongyin also yelled back at him in a cold voice, "Why do you still have to worry about what happened back then, I said it all, it's all fate, no one can escape the catastrophe, fate." ”
Mo Gongxuan's eyes were full of anger, and he glared at her, "Don't give me a life?" You don't deserve it. ”
Mo Gongyin was so angry that his stomach hurt, and he was really speechless when he met such an obsessed person.
Everyone watched the two princes quarrel, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to stop it.
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom lowered his eyes and interrupted in a cold voice: "Okay, I don't want you to quarrel today." Now that the treasure Yin'er found has also been handed over, then wait for Xuan'er! ”
One sentence sealed everyone's argument, and they had to wait for the guards to carry the treasure into the palace.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was close to noon that the guard returned, and the people who arranged for it to carry the wooden boxes brought back from the Chunfeng Building into the main hall one by one.
Mo Gongyin's box is placed on the right, and Mo Gongxuan's is placed on the left.
Seeing the twenty-seven old mahogany boxes on the left, at a glance, I knew that these wooden boxes had been stored for a long time, and everyone was very excited, if these boxes really mentioned treasures, then the Mo Kingdom would really become the most prosperous country in Tanglin.
"Back to the prince, these wooden boxes were all moved from the Chunfeng Building." After the guard carried the box in and put it away, he walked directly to Mo Gongxuan to report back.
"Yes." Mo Gongxuan replied lightly, and then took his hand over the guard's waist, and with a bang, the saber on his waist was clenched in his hand, and he vigorously pried the lock against the wooden box placed in front of him. Although the locks of the wooden box were broken by him, these were all new locks, but he was too lazy to unlock them one by one.
The tip of the knife cuts through the latch and can be pried open with force.
Mo Gongxuan stepped forward and reached out to lift the lid of the box and lifted it hard, the lid opened, he glanced into the box, and in an instant, his face changed suddenly, and his pupils opened slightly.
