Fanwai Yan Nangui (4)
When Mu Feng returned to the dynasty, he was already a hussar general! It will only be announced in the way that the Emperor has decreed outside!
On this day, Mu Feng's army began to enter the Beijing Gate, and the people welcomed it. They all thought that the return of the general would save them from the dire situation.
On that day, Mu Feng prepared to face the saint. A eunuch sent an edict from Emperor Jin that General Mu would serve the country and defend the border city for three years without returning to the court. Fate Mu Feng is good to rest, and he will re-enter the palace tomorrow!
Mu Feng thanked him and immediately returned to the general's mansion. He went to his mother's spirit and offered incense! Thinking back on the cause of his mother's death, Mu Feng at this time couldn't help but hate that person even more, eager to eat his flesh and blood, and break his bones and ashes. But he didn't know that he hadn't returned for three years, and everything was wrong!
Moyu has already gotten the news! At this time, he was writing something in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Three years have passed! Mo Yu has long since faded away from her former elegance, and she looks as mature as those courtiers...... And ruthless!
When he stopped writing, Mo Yu stared at the words on the paper. There was a faint glint in his eyes! It seems that he thinks of something and hesitates a little. In just a moment, he returned to his former appearance, and when he looked up again, there was a cold light in his eyes! Dropped the pen and strode out of the door, and in an instant a strong wind came, blowing the paper on the table and falling to the ground. It was written - "kill"!
Mu Feng's return to the dynasty is destined to set off a wave of treachery in this seemingly calm court.
Above the court! The meeting between Mu Feng and Moyu can be described as a surging dark tide. If Zhao Qiaoji and Lan Ling'er were present at this time, they would be puzzled! Why did the two people who should have hugged each other treat each other coldly.
It's just that they don't know! As early as three years ago, when Mo Yu sued Fu Yuan, Mu Feng had found Mo Yu!
Fu Yuan's brother is Mu Feng's mother's own brother, and he is Mu Feng's uncle! Speaking of which, Mu Feng's mother's death is still related to Moyu! Since Mu Feng's mother learned that Fu Yuan was sentenced, she was devastated! In the end, it was learned that Fu Yuan's whereabouts were unknown. The already bad body is even more sluggish. In the end, he passed away in a month. And Mu Feng also broke with Moyu for this reason and became an enemy!
For a while, the civil and military officials above the court could see the disagreement between the two, I am afraid that this court is about to change! However, it is not yet known who killed the deer. Just wait and see what happens!
And what happened next was as expected, Mu Feng and Mo Yu really fought openly and secretly! Whatever Mo Yu decided, Mu Feng objected. And what Mo Yu opposed, Mu Feng supported. For a time, the imperial court underwent great changes and was divided into two factions. One faction is the prime minister's faction headed by Mo Yu, and the other is the general faction headed by Mu Feng!
But it's incomprehensible, but Emperor Jin doesn't feel inappropriate about it at all!
Another month passed, and there was a happy event!
Mu Feng got married! married his former friend Lan Ling'er.
Zhao Qiaoji smiled when he learned about this. This is Zhao Qiao's heartfelt smile since he entered the palace for three years! In the end, Lan Linger's years of waiting have not been in vain!
On the day of marriage, Zhao Qiaoji also came to the general's mansion. On the bright side, instead of Emperor Jin, he congratulated the two newcomers on their great joy. In fact, I sincerely congratulate her and Mu Feng.
When he visited the church, Zhao Qiaoji found that there was still Moyu! She couldn't help but be a little surprised, she thought that he wouldn't come!
It was the first reunion of the four to three years later! But it has long lived up to the simplicity of the past, and things are not people.
At the banquet, Zhao Qiaoji and Moyu sat together. But the two did not talk, only a symbolic greeting, each with their own thoughts.
Zhao Qiaoji pressed the bitterness in his heart. I resisted the impulse in my heart and recovered the high-minded, like the noble concubine Niangniang, who was favored by the emperor, and no one should be approached!
The banquet was thick, and when the guests were having fun, they didn't find that Mo Yu and Zhao Qiaoji had already left the table.
Then in the dim alley behind the general's mansion, there were two figures, a man and a woman.
It was Zhao Qiaoji and Mo Yu.
The two had met in the alley by letter long before they came, so there was no communication at the table.
After a long time, Mo Yu no longer knows when the last time she saw Zhao Qiaoji, how many months ago was Xu? Or was it half a year ago? Or was it a year ago? Every time they send a message, it's written or coded. But in the past three years, the number of times they want to see them is only a handful!
Moyu is a loss to her! If it weren't for herself, she shouldn't have entered that bloody place! If it weren't for herself, she would still live an ordinary life. But the life that should have belonged to her carefree was ruined by herself.
"You ......" Moyu didn't know what to say! Looking at Zhao Qiaoji's face, he became less and less courageous to face her.
"I'm fine, don't worry!" Zhao Qiaoji seemed to know what he was going to say, so he spoke. But she didn't expect her voice to be so trembling.
Mo Yu was dumbfounded, she looked so soft and weak in the dim light. He couldn't help but call out "Little buckwheat"
Zhao Qiaoji smiled, and his eyes were red with a smile.
In fact, she really wanted to ask Moyu, if these things hadn't happened, would she have married him? It's just that the 'if' is exactly the 'if'.
Zhao Qiaoji stabilized her emotions, she won't forget what tonight is for!
I saw Zhao Qiaoji take out a letter and a token from his sleeve and hand them over to Mo Yu.
Seeing that token, Mo Yu was slightly incredulous. He glanced up at Zhao Qiaoji, but saw Zhao Qiaoji nodding lightly.
Mo Yu instantly understood, and put away the two things. With these two things, perhaps...... He looked at Zhao Qiaoji, and only hoped that he still had time!
Just when the two of them wanted to leave, they heard someone's voice! Mo Yu immediately became vigilant, but when the visitor approached, he didn't believe it! As if this person wasn't supposed to be here!
This person is wearing a wedding dress, and it is Mu Feng!
Zhao Qiaoji and Mu Feng glanced at each other. But fortunately, Mu Feng didn't stop him, and the two left, but when Moyu passed by him, Mu Feng suddenly grabbed him. Mo Yu glanced at him, and then Mu Feng let go of his hand. In the alley late at night, at this time, only Mu Feng was left alone to watch their back as they left, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his deep pupils!
On the second day, Mo Yu admonished in the court that the crown prince should be canonized as soon as possible! and elected the second prince as the crown prince.
Some people in the DPRK and China were immediately dissatisfied with him, and the young and the young were orderly! How can there be no one who does not set up a big prince, but sets up a second prince as the crown prince!
And the strongest opposition is Mu Feng! He thinks he is always supporting the eldest prince. Naturally, I can't reach an agreement with Moyu!
Emperor Jin's words reveal his affection for the eldest prince, but it is not easy to draw conclusions about dividing the two factions. After saying a word about the long term, it will not be done at this time. But that night, Moyu suddenly entered the palace late at night. Then when Moyu left the palace, there was a gloomy look in his eyes.
The matter of who was appointed as the crown prince caused controversy among a group of courtiers, but at this time, it was suddenly reported that the eldest prince had bullied the people some time ago and robbed the women of good families! For this reason, he was entrusted, which made Emperor Jin angry, and he blamed the prince in the court, looking distressed, and finally made him think about it behind closed doors!
For a while, the courtiers who originally supported the eldest prince lost their fighting spirit in an instant.
A few days later, it was rumored that the eldest prince was dissatisfied with being grounded and scolded the palace people all day long, and Emperor Jin was very disappointed by this!
Then, the eldest prince and wisps of immorality and gaffe, even with the support of others, after all, they lost the position of the crown prince!
Just when everyone thought that the second son of the emperor was firmly on the throne of the crown prince, it was suddenly reported that the second son of the emperor was assassinated. Seriously injured and unconscious!
Emperor Jin was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but there was no news for more than ten days!
For this reason, several officials have been imprisoned one after another! In the end, the people of the DPRK and China can avoid it, and push and push. Emperor Jin was furious and asked Moyu to investigate the case for three people, if he failed to find out the truth after three days, he would ask Moyu to come and see him!
When Zhao Qiaoji heard the news, he was shocked. After investigating the reason, he sneered, and his heart became more and more disgusted and hated for Emperor Jin!
But she was more worried about Moyu's situation, and secretly wrote him a few letters but didn't see him respond, so she was even more distracted! In the end, just when she was about to collapse in a hurry, Moyu replied to her with a letter, telling her not to worry! But because of this, Zhao Qiaoji became more and more anxious.
But Moyu didn't want to see herself, so Zhao Qiaoji had to let Lan Yue quietly leave the palace and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It was evening, the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The night was dark and dreary. The cold wind blew like a knife on the face.
"Prime Minister, Concubine Niangniang, please come over" Lan Yue carried a lamp and came to Moyu in the middle of the night.
"What's the matter with your mother?" Mo Yu hurriedly asked.
"The prime minister will know when he goes, and the mother said that if the adults don't go, then they won't see each other in this life." Lan Yue hung her head and said.
Mo Yu looked moved, and turned to look at the unfinished book on the desk. After a while, he said, "Let's go!" ”
Huixin Palace
Zhao Qiaoji sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself inside. It's still so beautiful, but I'm getting stranger and stranger. She rested her fingers on her face. Then he laughed, three points of ridicule, seven points of sadness.
"Mother, my lord is here!" Outside the door, Lan Yue's voice came. Zhao Qiaoji calmed down her emotions, she didn't want him to see anything!
"Come in!" She said calmly.
Then, Lan Yue opened the door. After Moyu entered, she closed the door. At this time, only Mo Yu and Zhao Qiaoji were left in the house.
Zhao Qiaoji turned to look at Mo Yu, and Mo Yu also looked at her. Neither of them spoke, as if time had been forbidden here. The four eyes were at each other, who showed that trace of emotion.
"You're here!" Eventually, she opened her mouth first.
"You're looking for me?" Mo Yu looked at Zhao Qiaoji in front of him. Since the last time I saw her at the wedding banquet, I seem to have lost a lot of weight. Although he tried his best to hide it, the tiredness in his eyes couldn't deceive people!
Zhao Qiaoji smiled and said, "Is it that if I don't look for you, you can be ruthless and not come to see me for the rest of your life?" ”
"Little buckwheat......" Mo Yu's voice was hoarse.
"Heh......" Zhao Qiaoji suddenly laughed.
Then she said, "What are you going to do today?" ”
"Don't worry!"
"Then tell me, what will you do!" Zhao Qiaoji looked at him, his face full of worry.
Mo Yu was dumbfounded. What to do? He didn't know either.
"Heh......" she laughed, "look at you, it's all at this point, you're still calm." Are you really going to raise your head early the day after tomorrow? ”
Mo Yu was very distressed to see her like this, but there was no show on her face! Between them, it's been impossible for a long time, isn't it?.
Zhao Qiaoji suddenly walked over, grabbed his collar and looked vicious, "You speak!" ”
She was angry, and even more angry at him for looking indifferent! He knew how worried she was!
"Little buckwheat!"
"Don't call me!" Zhao Qiaoji interrupted him, "Let me ask you, what are you going to do about this!" ”
Mo Yu looked at her, watching him look close to collapse. He smiled helplessly.
Moyu took her hand and put it down. looked at her and said, "Xiao Qiao, listen to me, this matter is too involved, and no one who is involved will end well." The matter of the second prince is just an opening used by the emperor to suppress the two forces in the DPRK and China! And I, as one of the forces of this force, no matter who wins, the emperor is happy to see it. But no matter what I do, I don't want anything to happen to you! So listen to me, from today onwards, you will pick clean with me! Got it? ”
Mo Yu looked straight at her.
"Clean? Do you really think I can get rid of it? Zhao Qiaoji smiled, smiling a little sadly! She looked at Moyu in front of her, her eyes full of exhaustion! It turned out that the once high-spirited young man had already been destroyed by this turbid court and was exhausted.
"Moyu! Don't forget, I can't leave it from the moment I entered this place! Tell me, how do I skim it off? Zhao Qiaoji's eyes were full of tears.
Moyu wiped away the tears on her face. "I'm sorry. "Little buckwheat" Moyu held her face, and finally hugged her tightly.
At this time, Zhao Qiaoji had already cried. She flapped and struggled. It's like venting all the grievances of these years!
After a long time, she finally stopped struggling, "Moyu! Have we ever loved? ”
Moyu was stunned when she heard this! I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
"Have we ever loved?" Zhao Qiaoji pushed away his restraints, looked at him, and asked him again. There is such anticipation in the eyes!
"Loved!" He almost blurted out these two words! But he endured it, and thousands of emotions wandered in his eyes. Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, "Niangniang...... Please respect yourself! ”
"Huh...... Hehehe......! Dead weight? Zhao Qiaoji laughed self-deprecating and sadly. I don't know if to laugh at his ruthlessness or to laugh at his own self-deception! "What Prime Minister Liu Cheng said is really good! ! ”
"Mother's ......"
"Roll"
Mo Yu clenched his fists. Finally, he let go again, and finally said in a calm tone, "Weichen, retire." With that, he left.
In the side hall, only Zhao Qiaoji was left standing there. She watched his back fade away. Finally, I laughed stupidly! She's just, she just wants an answer!
"Niangniang, the adults have already left" I don't know when Lan Yue has come to her side.
"I know," Zhao Qiaoji's voice couldn't hear any emotion.
Lan Yue continued, "What should the slave do next? ”
"Go ahead as planned!"
"Yes" After saying that, he withdrew!
