Chapter 169
Yuan Lie smiled happily at this time, took the ink brocade into his arms, and faced everyone.
The generals, who had been fed dog food, turned their heads one after another, pretending that they had not seen anything.
The cold armor was cold and hard, and it hurt her, Yuan Lie hugged her very tightly, and his breath was thin in her ears, but it was hot.
He said: "Qing'er, don't worry, this king will definitely win this victory and triumph as soon as possible." β
For so long, he has called her as a princess, and this "Qing'er" seems to be the first time he has called her by her name.
"Hmm," Mo Jin nodded heavily, then buried his head in his arms, "I trust you." β
But in her heart, she always felt inexplicably uneasy.
This scene was taken into view by the prince Yuan Chenyu and Yuan Mochen in the distance, and the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking.
Yuan Chenyu was the first to speak, and his tone was a little frivolous: "I didn't expect that Uncle Huang was also a hero and sad to pass the beauty pass, tsk." β
But his eyes were clearly full of hatred, obviously Mo Jin liked him, but now he hugged other men in public, how not to make him hate his teeth.
Since the last time he said goodbye to Hongyan Building, Yuan Mochen hadn't seen Mo Jin for a long time, and when he saw her again in the hall today, he couldn't help himself with excitement, and he really wanted to say a word to her.
At this moment, seeing that she was tightly held in the arms of the imperial uncle, he who had always been restrained and steady, only felt that the jealousy in his heart began to burn.
He was polite, but he couldn't do anything.
"Let them say goodbye, Mo Jin, sooner or later it will be the woman of His Royal Highness." Yuan Chenyu said slowly, not caring at all how rebellious what he said.
Yuan Mochen was startled, and his pupils suddenly constricted, but he remained silent, and he didn't even change his expression.
"Fourth brother must be curious about why I said that, right? It doesn't matter, sooner or later you will understand. Yuan Chenyu muttered.
Since the last time Yuan Mochen gave him a plan to rectify the second prince Yuan Xilin, Yuan Chenyu has classified this fourth brother as his own, and he no longer hides any thoughts.
In his opinion, this younger brother, who has no backing and no strength, can only live by relying on him.
But if he turns back now, he will find that this fourth brother, whom he doesn't look up to, is staring at his back with cold eyes at this time, as if he is looking at a dead person.
β¦β¦
Mo Jin broke free from Yuan Lie's arms, lowered his head shyly, took out a delicate small jade bottle from his sleeve, handed it to him, and said softly: "The pill in this is miraculous for bruises, injuries, and excessive blood loss, the prince takes it, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and it may be useful." β
Of course, she hoped he would never need it.
Yuan Lie took the jade bottle, put it in his arms, and gently pinched the palm of Mo Jin's hand, and finally, he turned around and ordered the generals not far behind him: "The generals listen to the order, set off immediately!" β
"Yes!" The soldiers responded in an instant, their blood boiling, and their spirits were high.
Mo Jin finally followed Yuan Lie's advice and did not go to the city gate with the hundred officials to see him off, her idea was actually very simple - she still remembered that when she was in modern times, whether it was a TV series or, as long as one party solemnly went to see a person, or sent a person, then one of the two parties would inevitably hang up.
Yuan Lie is going to the battlefield, to do the most dangerous thing in the world, so she doesn't want to set up a flag.
After Yuan Lie left the capital with 400,000 soldiers and horses requisitioned from all over the country, Mo Jin also left the palace.
Out of the palace gate, the carriage of the palace was quietly parked on the side of the road waiting for her, and the person driving the car turned out to be a light breeze dressed in a black suit, basically inseparable from her prince!
"Why are you here?" Mo Jin walked to the side of the carriage and asked in surprise.
Yuan Lie has set out to fight, as a close guard, shouldn't Qingfeng guard guard him guard every step of the way?
Qingfeng jumped out of the carriage, saluted Mo Jin, and said without saltiness: "Princess Qiyu, the prince ordered his subordinates to stay in the capital to protect the princess, and he must ensure the safety of the princess." β
He didn't really want to stay at all, okay! If it weren't for the death order given by the prince of his family, he would have followed the large army to the front line to fight the earthquake and kill the enemy.
"What can I not be safe? You better hurry up and chase the prince, the battlefield is too dangerous, and he really needs your protection. Mo Jin's tone was a little anxious.
There are a large number of secret guards guarding the palace, and there are also many soldiers guarding the palace, and the emperor has sent another five hundred soldiers and horses, so she can't be safer anymore.
But Yuan Lie is different, Qingfeng has been his right-hand man and shield for so many years, and not letting him go to the battlefield but letting him stay in the capital is simply overkill.
Seeing that the princess was worried that the princess didn't seem to be cheating, Qingfeng's originally cold and hard attitude softened a little, and replied again: "This is the prince's order, and the subordinates cannot change it at will, and I hope the princess will not embarrass her subordinates." β
Mo Jin: "...... Then feel free to do so, I'm okay with that. β
After saying that, she boarded the carriage and said nothing all the way.
When he arrived at the palace, Mo Jin had just stepped on the steps and got off the carriage when he heard a voice behind him: "Aunt Huang, please stay." β
Mo Jin turned around, and saw Yuan Mochen, who was wearing a wide embroidered ribbon and a jade crown and tied hair, walking towards her briskly with the support of the two eunuchs.
Although she didn't know when the four princes followed behind their carriage, she still stood still, and after Yuan Mochen came to her and finished saluting, she also slowly returned to a thousand blessings.
As soon as Qingfeng saw that it was Yuan Mochen, his face collapsed instantly, the prince of his family had just left, and he hadn't even come out of the capital yet, and the four princes who were bold took the initiative to find him, and it was absolutely impossible for him to give him a good face.
However, Yuan Mochen only had ink brocade in his eyes, and even though the breeze was about to erupt fire in his eyes, he was not moved at all.
He asked softly, "I wonder if the imperial aunt has time?" If so, whether you can move elsewhere is something I would like to discuss with you. β
His etiquette and tone are very in place, and it is impossible to find fault with it at all.
This...... Mo Jin really wanted to refuse, if she met Yuan Mochen in private, let alone talking together, she would dare to go to the kiln together.
But at this time, Qingfeng was watching beside her, you know, Yuan Lie is the most hungry for his fourth nephew's flying vinegar, if he really moves away with him, he will dare to come back to clean her up tomorrow if he can't protect Wang Yi's anger.
In the end, she smiled politely and replied: "Since the four princes are here, how can there be a reason for the palace to let you not even drink a cup of tea, so let's not go elsewhere, how about going into the palace and sitting for a while?" β
Put everything in the light, and others won't gossip......
Yuan Mochen hesitated for a moment, compromised, and arched his hand: "That's fine, it's all up to the emperor's arrangement." But there was a wry smile in my heart.
In order to avoid suspicion, Mo Jin finally ordered someone to put the tea and snacks in the garden, and talked with Yuan Mochen while enjoying the osmanthus and drinking tea.
"I don't know why the fourth prince is looking for a concubine?" Mo Jin asked with a smile.
Yuan Mochen put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the two maidservants behind her, and then looked at the breeze standing not far away with a tense face, and didn't answer.
Mo Jin understood.
She shook her hand at the people behind her and ordered, "You go down first." β
Su Jin Suxin withdrew from the garden as ordered, but Qingfeng had the heavy responsibility entrusted by the prince, how could he let Mo Jin out of his sight, so he just retreated a little farther.
For his behavior, Mo Jin really couldn't cry or laugh, Qingfeng was Yuan Lie's person, she really didn't dare or didn't want to ask him to do something, so she turned a blind eye and ignored the past.
Yuan Mochen was also very helpless about his imperial uncle's guard, so he had no choice but to lower his voice and say: "I just want to ask the imperial aunt, a few months ago, that is, when you fell into the lake, but what did you find in the Queen Mother's Kunning Palace?" β
Mo Jin wanted to say no, and then the moment she opened her mouth, between the lightning and flint, she suddenly remembered the empty hall and the underground world behind the wardrobe.
It was a dusty, dilapidated, and strange place, especially the two skeletons standing on the edge of the bed with their necks tied, which made her break out in a cold sweat at the moment of horror.
Looking at Mo Jin's blood-fading face, Yuan Mochen knew that Mo Jin must have discovered something terrible last time.
"How did the Four Princes find out?" She asked coldly, and she didn't intend to deny it, "Or, what is the purpose of the four princes?" β
Although Mo Jin pretended to be calm on her face, she was still a little flustered in her heart, if Yuan Mochen used this as a threat, she really didn't know what to do for the time being.
Could it be that there is really some unsightly secret base of the Queen Mother? Can't you...... It looks like no one has been there for hundreds of years.
Besides, she didn't find anything......
Yuan Mochen didn't see Mo Jin's unhappy expression, and said softly: "Don't worry, Aunt Huang, I definitely didn't use this matter to threaten you with anything, besides, I don't know anything about what you discovered." β
After a pause, he continued: "I came today, just to tell you that the Queen Mother has been aware of it, and has been examining the palace people of Kunning Palace one by one recently......
"How is that possible!" Mo Jin interrupted him and raised his voice: "There is nothing there, how can there be a treasure!" β
Yuan Mochen smiled and pushed the teacup in front of her, "Don't worry, don't worry, the Queen Mother can't find your head for the time being, I have already sent someone to divert her attention." β
Well? Mo Jinmeng's eyes widened, and he asked softly, "You...... How did you send someone to divert attention? β
She had a gut feeling that this was not a good thing.
Sure enough, Yuan Mochen just shook his head and said indifferently: "It's just a small sacrifice, the imperial aunt doesn't have to worry about it." β
What do you mean by a small sacrifice?!
"Are you looking for someone to blame? Can...... But ...... "But the Queen Mother didn't lose any treasures at all!" Finding someone to blame for the crime will not do anything except sacrifice in vain, but will make things worse!
"No," Yuan Mochen reassured her, "Don't worry, Auntie, this matter is handled very well, and the Queen Mother will never suspect you." β
He didn't say any more, let alone tell Mo Jin, when the Queen Mother began to investigate this matter, he let the palace maid who was installed in Kunning Palace take the initiative to end his life, pretending to be afraid and commit suicide.
Yuan Mochen is so smart, he naturally understands that the Queen Mother's announcement that the baby was stolen is a pretense nine times out of ten, so he let his dead soldier die in his post, since the "criminal" has been punished, naturally he dispelled the Queen Mother's idea of continuing to investigate.
Although he made some sacrifices, he did not feel any regret or regret, and was even happy to be able to help Mo Jin.
But he didn't plan to say the specific process, he didn't want to make himself a cold-blooded and ruthless person in her heart.
Mo Jin's mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, and after a long time, she sighed, "Thank you to the four princes for their help." β
She didn't have the courage to go any further.
"Aunt Huang is polite, you don't need to thank me," he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said gently, "If you can, can Aunt Huang tell me what you found in Kunning Palace?" β
Originally, he wanted to send someone to investigate this matter himself, but the Queen Mother was one step ahead of him and sent someone to surround the hall, so that not even a fly could fly in.
Mo Jin hung her head, her white and flawless fingers slowly rubbed on the rim of the cup, and after a while, she said weakly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that there is a secret room under the ground of that hall, well, a big secret room, there is nothing in it, by the way, there are two skeletons of palace maids." β
Yuan Mochen frowned when he heard this, it wasn't that he didn't believe what Mo Jin said, but if the Queen Mother wanted to kill someone, it was just a matter of one sentence, and there was really no need to make such a big move in order to cover up the corpses of the two palace maids.
Or is there something else hidden in the underground secret room?
This is also what Mo Jin is confused about at the moment, she really didn't do anything! Why is the Queen Mother so serious?
Suddenly, it occurred to her that she seemed to be missing something......
There was really nothing unusual about the underground dormitory, and she had seen about it, but there was one place where she was scared away by the two skeletons before she could even look at itβyes, the bed behind the two palace maids, covered by layers of curtains.
If the Queen Mother really has some unsavory secrets hidden in that dormitory underneath, it must be on that bed!
"What does the imperial aunt recall?" Yuan Mochen asked.
This time, Mo Jin didn't continue to follow his rhythm.
She smiled lightly, and a hint of playfulness climbed on her face, "I said, the fourth prince shouldn't be deliberately tricking me, right?" β
Just now, she was suddenly exposed to the "bad things" she had done, and it was inevitable to be nervous for a while, so she answered whatever Yuan Mochen asked.
Now that she has reacted, she only feels that this fourth prince is too enthusiastic, and everything just now is Yuan Mochen's words, how can she know if he made it up.
As soon as Yuan Mochen wanted to explain, the eunuch guarding the door hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in his ear, which made his face change greatly.
He stood up, bowed to Mo Jin, and said in a serious tone: "Auntie, there is news from the palace, my mother suddenly fell ill, let's stop today's conversation for the time being, besides, whether you believe it or not, every word I say to you is true, and I will never deceive." β
Belch? What's going on?
Before Mo Jin could react, Yuan Mochen followed the eunuch and quickly left the palace.
Today's words are not up or down, it is really appetizing, Mo Jin angrily picked up the tea cup, and poured a big sip of hot tea with "Gu Dong".
After Yuan Mochen left, Su Yan and Su Xin cautiously poked their heads out of the garden door, the reason why they ran so fast just now was not because they were afraid of their own princesses, but because they were afraid of the four princes!
Since the last time I saw the fourth prince in the Qinglou doing such an intimate action to his own princess, and being threatened by Yuan Mochen, these two girls always felt that their lives were short, and they were worried every day.
"Princess, the slave will rub your shoulders."
"The slave will thump your legs."
The two of them quickly ran to Mo Jin's side to offer their courtesy.
"What's wrong with you two?" Mo Jin looked at them with suspicion.
The two hurriedly waved their hands in unison and said in unison: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." β
Hey! It's really strange today, all of them are so inexplicable!
It wasn't until before going to bed that Mo Jin suddenly reacted, and since she finished talking to Yuan Mochen, she hadn't seen a light breeze again.
Didn't this thing say to protect her safety? Why did you run away on the first day of work......
Sure enough, the man is reliable, and the sow can go up the tree.
She just thought about it, but she didn't expect to say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.
"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door.
"Princess Qiyu, the breeze guards ask to see you." Su Xin said outside the door.
Mo Jin thought to herself, fortunately she hadn't had time to take off her clothes yet, otherwise she would have to wear it now, she walked to the golden silk nanmu chair and sat down, cleared her throat, and said, "Let him come in." β
Hum!
She guessed that it must have been found out by the light breeze conscience, and after going out for a day, and now coming back at night to bear the guilt.
However, Qingfeng did not bear the thorn, nor did he ask for guilt, he still had a straight face, and after saluting Mo Jin, he asked without waves: "Please also ask the princess to tell the princess where the secret room of Kunning Palace is located." β
Mo Jin: "...... feelings" Today, he heard the conversation between her and Yuan Mochen......
But also, Qingfeng martial arts are strong, and her five senses must be very sharp, at that time, except for the beginning of her conversation with Yuan Mochen, she lowered her voice a little, and basically used a normal volume at the end.
But what does it matter to him?
Mo Jin raised his forehead and asked puzzledly, "What do you care about this?" β
Light Breeze didn't answer.
Grandma's, she asked for her and didn't want to tell her the reason, it's really annoying, since that's the case, if he doesn't speak, she won't speak!
Mo Jin hugged her arms and looked at him for a long time, anyway, she is not sleepy now, there is a lot of time.
I don't know how long it took, Qingfeng was probably stared at by Mo Jin, took out half a paper roll as thick as a little finger from his arms, and handed it to her with both hands.
"This is the letter that the prince just sent back to you with a flying pigeon." He said.
Mo Jin took it and unfolded it little by little, thinking that it was some kind of love letter or other private words, but it turned out to be a sentence written on it - "You are a married woman, stay away from Yuan Mochen." β
Mo Jin: "......"
That's enough.
This person really didn't forget to be jealous when he left. But she and Yuan Mochen really have nothing to do!
She slapped the little note on the table in frustration, and didn't want to say anything now.
In fact, what she didn't know was that the reason why Yuan Lie would pass such a note back was entirely because of the light breeze guard standing in front of her.
The reason is very simple, Qingfeng saw Yuan Mochen come to "entangle" Mo Jin in the afternoon, and without saying a word, he used a flying pigeon to make a small report to his prince, and then Yuan Lie was washed by the old vinegar, and there was this small note of vinegar.
"Light Breeze, if you don't tell me why, I won't tell you the location of the hall where there is a secret room." Mo Jin said arrogantly.
She guessed that Qingfeng had visited the palace once during the day, but had found nothing, and now she had come to ask for her help.
It seemed that Qingfeng didn't want to say it, he held it for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "The princess, please reply to the prince as soon as possible." β
