Chapter 192: Obsession
"It's just right, we can take a good look at our silent girl when we go down the mountain this time, I don't know if she is lazy these days, I have to urge her to practice spiritual power, so that she can be used by our Changshan faction as soon as possible."
The old ghost's words, Chen Xiling's heart was mixed.
Chen Xiling was stunned for a moment, and then replied casually: "Master, I didn't go down the mountain this time for my junior sister, just for official business without any personal feelings!" β
Thinking of silence, Chen Xiling had some more thoughts in his heart, and he was faintly worried about silence.
For Shen Mo, his mind is naturally clear, because of his identity, he can't be with her, he can only hide this affection in his heart, and now the old ghost wants to bring Shen Mo back to Changshan, which is tantamount to binding Shen Mo to this mountain.
With Chen Xiling's understanding of silence, she naturally loves freedom and hates restraints, and the old ghost will definitely not be in line with silence when she does this.
But if Shen Mo can really master spiritual power, with her spiritual cultivation, she can indeed help the strength of the Mountain Sect increase several times.
With such a contradiction, Chen Xiling really didn't know how to choose.
The old ghost smiled lightly, and everything had already been arranged in his heart, and he didn't need Chen Xiling to think about it at all, and said at the moment:
"Okay, good apprentice, let's go."
The old ghost saw that Chen Xiling was distracted, and hurriedly called his thoughts back, they must not be careless when carrying the silver that needs to be given to the palace along the way.
Retracting his thoughts, Chen Xiling nodded, and set off with a group of disciples of the Changshan Sect.
On the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Palace, the emperor was looking at the crown prince of His Royal Highness at night.
Looking at the appearance of the emperor in front of him, his face seemed to be a little pale, and he had been sick for a long time.
"The son of the emperor greets his father."
The night is prevalent, and today his father is unwell and cannot attend the New Year's Day banquet, so he has to attend in place of his father.
"Emperor, get up. Ahem......"
Yazheng suddenly coughed, and the throbbing pain in his throat made him spit out a mouthful of black blood at once.
He also immediately took out a handkerchief from his arms, covered his mouth tightly, and glanced at the prince in front of him vigilantly.
Because he covered it with a handkerchief, Yezheng didn't show his voice, and Yesheng in the audience didn't see any bloodstains, thinking that his father was just coughing every day.
His father, Emperor Long, was not in good health, and as the crown prince, he hurriedly said:
"My father's health is getting worse and worse, and my sons are really worried, and I hope that my father can announce that the world will offer a reward to find a doctor with superb medical skills to treat my father."
Ye Sheng knelt down, now his father has been sick for a long time, but he has only been asked by the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine for maintenance, and the results are naturally not good.
"It's okay, I don't want the people to know about my illness yet, if I let people with other intentions know, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the world."
Yezheng glanced at the prince Yesheng, and saw that he was staring at him with a tigerish face, and his heart unconsciously became vigilant.
"Father's dragon body is important, how can he ignore his own safety for the sake of the people!"
Ye Sheng looked at his father on the dragon chair, and had already secretly decided in his heart that the day he died would be when he ascended the throne.
There was also a secret smile in his heart, as if he saw the moment he ascended the throne, and the ecstasy in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
At the moment, he also let out a long breath, and gathered his mind, so he glanced up at Ye Zheng in front of him, as if he didn't notice his abnormality.
But I can't force it too urgently, otherwise my father will definitely be suspicious, anyway, everything is under control now, just take it step by step.
Chess must be played step by step, and the road must be taken step by step, and you can't lose all the games because you are in a hurry to make a wrong move.
At the moment, the top priority is to get the throne, as long as everything is not a problem after he ascends the throne.
It's not too late to deal with King Wu Ye Tingchen when he becomes the emperor, at that time, he will be charged with rebellion, and without the protection of his father, see how he turns the sky upside down.
"Don't discuss this matter anymore, you go to the New Year's Eve banquet for me tonight, are you ready?"
As the emperor, Yezheng will participate in the New Year's Eve banquet every year, because it is a good time for the emperor to communicate with the merchants.
Everyone invited to the New Year's Eve banquet was a figure with a head and a face.
There are many young and handsome courtiers who are also in the hands of great achievements, there are also generals with great military achievements, and even businessmen who are rich and rival the country.
Everyone is of great help to him, many friends and many paths, and the most important thing for him to snatch the throne at the moment is to encircle all forces.
And this New Year's Day banquet is not only an exchange between various forces, but also an integration between the palace and merchants.
Every year, the big merchants from all over the country will pay two taels of silver into the treasury, and the palace will also hand over all kinds of utensils to the merchants who pay more than two taels of silver, so that both the royal family and the merchants have benefited.
Originally, the New Year's Day banquet in previous years was attended by Ye Zheng in person, but this year, he had some physical problems, so he could only send Ye Sheng to go.
After sitting alone in the dragon position for a long time, how could he not have a little thought of his own in his heart, if he put Ye Sheng in the New Year's Day banquet and let him collude with all forces, it would only have a greater impact on his throne.
In fact, this is just a dark chess hand left by Ye Sheng, and there are also a lot of temptations to Ye Zheng.
However, this matter is only clear to Yesheng himself, but the rumors from the outside world are......
This night, because his body couldn't hold it anymore, and he didn't want the outside world to talk about it, he was replaced by the prince.
"Back to my father, my sons are ready. A few days ago, I will tell King Wu about the results of the bidding, and then he will negotiate with those merchants. β
Ye Sheng was even more angry when he mentioned the matter of bidding, as the crown prince, his father did not let him participate, but gave full authority to Ye Tingchen, the king of Wu.
This point has already made Ye Sheng extremely dissatisfied, he is obviously the crown prince's father, but he handed everything over to King Wu, feeling like he was being set aside.
If you don't take action again, I'm afraid that the country at your fingertips will also change hands, and the meat that is delivered to your mouth is usually tightly bitten and will not let go.
"Okay, then you can tell Jun'er, I'm a little tired, you go down, cough ......"
Yezheng coughed again, and was supported by two eunuchs left and right, and then got off the dragon chair.
Before leaving, Ye Zheng's eyes glanced at Ye Sheng, who was bowing his head in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of contempt.
Ye Sheng Shengsheng waited for his father to leave, and then he showed a vicious look.
Thinking of how much the father and queen mother doted on him and his mother, it was a pity that the good times didn't last long, and all this was ruined at the hands of a woman.
This woman was met by her father and brought back to the palace in Jiangnan without a name and surname, and gave her infinite favor and gave her the name Baiyu, which means a beauty that is rare in a hundred years, and she was also named the imperial concubine.
It wasn't until later that the queen mother killed her because of jealousy, so she was beaten into the cold palace by her father and ended up depressed.
Since then, even though he has been under the name of the crown prince since he was a child, he has been under house arrest in his own palace until three years ago.
This incident had already planted the seeds of hatred in his heart, but he was young and had no ability, but now it has sprouted Ye Shengqing thought viciously:
When he became the emperor, the first thing he did was to correct his mother's name, and then he fell into the ranking of the bewitching mother-in-law!
When he thought that the woman died in childbirth when she gave birth, and the prince in her belly had become a dead corpse, he felt relieved, God still has eyes.
All this is close at hand, as long as he waits for his father to die, he is the emperor of Shuxia Kingdom, and everyone will submit to his feet.
When Ye Sheng also walked out of the palace with his head held high, the wild laughter in his mouth could no longer be stopped, and his laughter could be heard in the entire cold palace.
At this moment, it was already the willow branches on the moon, and it was already midnight, when suddenly a dark cloud floated over the sky to cover the moon, and the whole palace was shrouded in haze.
"My sister definitely doesn't like to ride in a carriage, so my sister will go first."
Shen Yan looked at Shen Mo with disdain, he would definitely be angry if he walked with her.
Besides, the woman who was silent actually made a beautiful new set of clothes for the New Year's Eve banquet, and the eyebrows and eyebrows were even more eye-catching than usual.
Shen Yan had seen a lot of high-end fabrics since he was a child, but he just glanced at the blue skirt that Shen Mo was wearing, and knew that it was made of the best national silk.
But I don't understand that Shen Mo is penniless, and even his monthly living expenses have been deducted a lot by Yuan's family, and it is already extremely difficult to live, how did she get this cloth?
"Hmm."
Shen Mo didn't bother to deal with Shen Yan, and snorted coldly in response, not to mention that Shen Yan didn't let her sit, even if she knelt on the ground and begged herself to sit, she wouldn't sit.
I wanted to stimulate the mysterious look of displeasure on her face, but Shen Mo smiled brightly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked as if she didn't care.
It seems that he punched the cotton, and the feeling of hitting the air is extremely uncomfortable, and there is also a sense of chagrin in my heart.
"You ......"
Shen Yan pointed at Shen Mo angrily, she actually dared to put on such an arrogant posture towards herself.
"Yan'er, how can you be so rude to your sister?"
Noticing the noise at the door, Yuan also walked out at this moment.
Yuan's was dressed in a floor-length skirt, with heavy makeup on his face, and he looked like a colorful hen in Shen Mo's eyes.
Looking at Shen Li's colorful clothes, he was like a rooster, Shen Mo also burst out laughing, and found that he was a little out of shape, and he was forced to hold back his laughter at the moment to prevent himself from laughing.
Yuan didn't seem to notice Shen Mo's strange appearance, just watched her turn her back and didn't speak, and didn't know what Shen Mo was doing, so he glanced at her lightly and ignored her.
"Today is the New Year's Eve feast, is it time for you to be as noisy as child's play? As the daughters of the Shen family, you should go together. β
After a while, another voice came from the door, and without looking back, he knew that it was Shen Li behind him.
Shen Li was dressed in formal clothes and walked out after Yuan's family.
Looking at Shen Mo and Shen Yan in front of him, he also shook his head slightly in his heart and sighed, extremely disapproving of the two of them making trouble in front of outsiders.
After all, this is just a family matter, and Shen Li doesn't care about any intrigue in the family, if he lets others see him outside Shen Li's family is like this, it is inevitable that someone will point fingers at him.
In the previous room, Shen Yan advocated that he didn't want to go with Shen Mo, but Shen Li refused.
Although he knew that Shen Mo and Shen Yan had always been at odds, on this occasion, if Shen Yan and Shen Mo were present separately, the multi-minded people would naturally say something right and wrong.
Hearing Shen Li say this, the Yuan clan on the side also hurriedly echoed and said:
"The master is right, Yan'er, Mo'er, the two of you go in the same carriage."
The Yuan clan took advantage of the situation to hold Shen Li's arm, and half of his body leaned on Shen Li's body.
Shen Mo didn't speak, seeing Shen Yan stomping her feet anxiously, she didn't want to sit in the same carriage with Shen Mo.
Thinking that Shen Mo is not willing to sit in a carriage with him, he will definitely quarrel with his father, and he can let her go as long as he is angry, who would have thought that Shen Mo This cheap woman actually acquiesced.
Thinking about it at the moment, it seems that all her thoughts and plans have not been as effective as they should have been in Shen Mo, and she remembers that she only sulked alone in the past.
Shen Yan really didn't want to go with Shen Mo, maybe Shen Mo was dressed too brightly today, and sitting next to him would inevitably cover up his brilliance.
So Shen Yan thought of such a plan, but Shen Mo didn't miss it, and felt a little helpless at the moment, and some were anxious to try it himself, but he wanted to stop talking.
But if I bring it up first, I will disobey my father's will, and my father will definitely be angry.
Shen Mo was not angry or annoyed, looking at Shen Yan looking like he was about to die, he really felt funny.
Shen Mo Bingxue is smart, how could she not guess that Shen Yan had a ghost trick in her heart, she only felt that her plans were simply shallow and flawed, and she could see through it at a glance, how could she fall for her, it was simply naΓ―ve.
Shen Li looked at Shen Mo with a smile on his face, and was surprised by her beauty, the more she was bright, especially with light makeup, which made people can't leave her eyes at a glance.
If she can obediently listen to herself, wouldn't it be a trivial matter to find herself a fast son-in-law with her beauty.
And the standard of this fast son-in-law is determined by him Shen Li alone, no matter what is missing arms and legs, or those with untidy facial features, they are fine.
As long as he has the power or money in his hands and has a head and face, he can push this girl to his house casually, and when the time comes, he doesn't care if he agrees with silence or not, can she still put on a red hijab?
Since ancient times, it has been the words of the matchmaker of her parents, and she does not dare to resist this girl.
Just as Shen Li was secretly knocking on his wishful thinking in his heart, suddenly a carriage did stop in front of him.
"Miss Shen, don't come unharmed, I was also invited to attend the New Year's Eve banquet in King Wu's mansion, do you want to go together?"
A carriage appeared at the gate of the Shen Mansion, two fine horses were pulled by gold wire ropes, the body of the carriage was wide and bright, and the print on the curtain was not from the Shu Xia Kingdom, and at a glance it felt noble and extraordinary.
An eight-foot-tall man stepped down from the carriage, gently shaking the folding fan in his hand, and walked out of the carriage with a smile.
Zhun Tuer walked in front of Shen Li and was a head taller than Shen Li, which made Shen Li feel very pressured, and Shen Yan on the side was also slightly stunned when he saw Zhun Tuer, and was a little shocked by the handsome face of the man in front of him.
Jungtur appeared at the right time, leaving Shen Li and Yuan both stunned.
Shen Li, as a fourth-grade official in the DPRK, is also well-known in this capital, but even so, he has never seen a son-in-law so arrogant, with his own aura, which makes people have to look up.
Glancing at Zhun Tur casually, Shen Li was even more surprised, all his body was full of the best clothes of the country, and even the jade pendant on the fan on his hand was a rare treasure.
And this is nothing, this boy actually knows Shen Mo.
Yuan Shi hurriedly pinched Shen Li and motioned for him to ask about the identity of the person who came.
"You are?"
Shen Li understood what Yuan meant and hurriedly asked.
Shen Li lightly arched his hand, showing a flattering look on his face, and smiled at the Zhuntur in front of him.
The ministers and officials in the court and the central government know each other, the young lady in their family also knows it, and some of the rich businessmen in the capital themselves also know about it, and they have never known who looks so shocking.
Although Shen Li's question was enough for the smiling Zhuntuer in front of him to hear, after all, the person in front of him was not a deaf person, did he still have to shout in his ear?
But Zhun Tuer ignored Shen Li, his eyes kept staring at Shen Li, waiting for his answer, and the person next to him acted as if he didn't exist.
"Daddy, mother, this son is the lover of my sister I said last time."
Shen Yan whispered in Shen Li's ear, his eyes glanced at the carriage, the man's face was so good, he didn't see it clearly the last time they met, but this time he looked closer and looked better than a woman.
Looking at the carriage he was sitting in, the wealth behind him must be not small, but he didn't expect Shen Mo to have such great ability to hook up with such a good-looking and rich and powerful son.
Shen Mo stepped forward lightly, glanced at Shen Yan unintentionally, only saw that her face was full of complexion, and at the moment, he also walked to Zhuntuer's side with a smile and smiled at him:
"Okay."
Shen Mo happened to not want to sit with Shen Yan and them, and now that Zhuntur appeared, he would naturally sit with him.
Not caring about the reaction of Shen Li and Yuan's mother and daughter, Shen Mo walked directly towards the carriage and was pulled up by Zhun Tuer.
Xiaohuan was also helped into the carriage by the groom, and then set off in a mighty way.
"This ......"
Shen Li watched Shen Mo get into someone else's carriage directly, and he was speechless in shock, pointing to the direction where the carriage was going and shaking his head uncontrollably.
Seeing Shen Mo getting into the luxurious carriage, Yuan's heart was also blocked, he was stunned in place before, but at this moment, the fire carriage walked away, and the dust raised by the ruts hit his face, and Yuanshi came to his senses a little.
Yuan Shi looked at the carriage in the distance and remembered Shen Mo's smiling appearance, the silk silk in her hand was tightly clutched, and the root of her teeth was a little itchy and stomped hard, pushing Shen Li next to her.
"Master, you see that this girl Mo'er has taken you seriously, and she won't say hello to you when she gets into other men's carriages."
Shen Li looked at the carriage that walked away, but he gently wiped his beard, Shen Mo is his daughter looked at his daughter Gao Friends were full of friends, where was not her confidant at the end of the world, and the people she met were all nobles in life.
Shen Li smiled lightly, if it was an ordinary father, there should be a trace of relief in his heart.
But as a father, he couldn't be happy, and even had a faint jealousy in his heart.
Especially thinking of Shen Mo's cold and unseen appearance, a wave of annoyance appeared in Shen Li's heart, no one dared to treat him like this.
Shen Li thought to himself: "I was born in a cold family, and for the sake of wealth and almost annihilation of human nature, my heart is already cold, like the cold ice of the Nine Shadows that cannot be dissolved, but I still feel that there is still a trace of kindness in my heart, and I feel that I am still different from beasts!" β
At this moment, Shen Li also shook his head, the annoyance and secret curse in his heart, and Shen Mo's mind also made him understand that he was also completely reduced to a beast.
Since he is already a brute, he has to do some brute acts, and he has secretly thought about how he will retaliate against her after Shen Mo returns.
Yuan's tone provoked Shen Li's anger, but what could be done about it, Shen Mo had already left in the carriage.
It's not too late to settle accounts when you come back from the New Year's Eve banquet.
"Daddy, since my sister doesn't want to join us, let's hurry up and set off, so I won't be too late to blame Lord Wu."
Seeing Shen Mo get into the carriage and leave, Shen Yan was also so angry that he was dizzy, and he could only close his eyes and recuperate without saying a word.
When he heard the sound of the carriage and walked away, he opened his eyes, and said lightly with a hint of clarity in his mind.
Shen Yan suggested saluting at this time, so that Shen Li noticed that there was still her existence, and she was the heroine tonight.
"Yes, what Yan'er said is right, the New Year's Eve banquet must not be delayed, let's hurry up."
With a wave of Shen Li's hand, the groom hurriedly moved the bench out, this set of carriage equipment compared with the gorgeous carriage on the silence just now, it was simply a heaven and an earth, and it looked extremely shabby.
