Chapter 207: Willing to Surrender to the Law
Ruoyun didn't expect her to say this, she stared at her suddenly, stared at her slightly lonely smiling face for a moment, turned her head to Xu Cuiwei and said, "You send Wang Xiurong back to rest first, everything here is with me." As he spoke, he turned to the other side, "Xiaohong, go and inform Grandpa Chang and let the emperor come up." ”
When Mo Xiaochen heard that she invited the emperor, the smile on his face darkened little by little.
Wang Han didn't want to leave, but before she could say anything, she heard Ruoyun say to her: "Right now, you have a tire gas and your body is weak, it is important to keep the child, nothing else matters." ”
Wang Han is smart in the end, looking at Ruoyun deliberately looking at the fragrant osmanthus tree outside the door, he nodded immediately after weighing the pros and cons, and left with Xu Cuiwei.
When the masters in the hall left, only Concubine Xian and Zhaoyi were left, Ruoyun listened to the chatter at the door, and said with a slight tilt: "You all go down, this palace has something to say to Zhaoyi Niangniang." ”
These words immediately drove the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards at the door clean, and only then did the sunlight shine in through the dappled laurel tree.
"Concubine Xian, why don't you take a sip of tea?" Mo Zhaoyi saw her looking at the laurel tree outside the door in a daze, and happily took a copper kettle to make tea for her, and put the cup on the tea table beside her.
Ruoyun looked at the green water, her eyes moved, she took a sip without hesitation, sat down and said, "The imperial doctor said, won't you get pregnant again?" ”
"Yes, I will never have children again, so I hate pregnant palace people." Mo Xiaochen smiled and admitted it unabashedly, "Hu Shu'er was harmed by me, and I didn't stand idly by with those two." He sat down across from her.
"Those two slippery concubines live next to each other and have similar luck, so presumably your poison array only plays a supporting role?" Ruoyun's bold assumption. I can't guess what the person in front of me really wants.
"Concubine Xian Niangniang doesn't need to be Huairou, I did do it, those people are really annoying. Nor should a child be born. Mo Xiaochen replied calmly, as if he was not talking about a small life, but as innocuous as eating and sleeping.
"Just because they are arrogant?" Ruoyun couldn't help frowning, looking at Zhaoyi, who had an elegant jade face in front of her, and her smile was poisonous like looking at a poppy, but she thought about it and said in a sullen voice. "Although I don't have much contact with you, I know that Mo Zhaoyi is like this, and it is not so simple."
Mo Xiaochen chuckled. Look away and be silent.
"Presumably, this laurel tree should be non-toxic?" Ruoyun looked at Mo Xiaochen, who was staring at her in front of her, and said, "In the palace." Should it be a poison array that is not so complicated? ”
Mo Xiaochen was stunned. Fang nodded.
"If it weren't for that ice cube, Wang Han would be safe for the time being, and you just made a move to lure me in?" Ruoyun raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Mo Xiaochen replied aloud.
Ruoyun confirmed what she thought in her heart, and immediately sighed and shook her head: "Hu Shu'er's father and the father of those two must be the emperor or Mo Yushi's tricky people, but Mo Zhaoyi, those are the emperor's children." You act for the emperor. Have you ever thought that the emperor would be sad? ”
"Sad?" Mo Xiaochen's eyes flashed. It soon dimmed, and finally became disdainful, and even the voice became soft and weak.
She was silent for a long time, Ruoyun only thought that she didn't want to answer anymore, but Mo Xiaochen suddenly sat upright, looked at her as if she had made up her mind, and said slowly: "The child in this palace was killed, but the emperor didn't believe it. The emperor didn't believe that there was oleander powder in the incense I smelled, and he didn't believe that the pillow I used was filled with sandalwood chips. Luo Yiran planted Lin Duyan, the emperor has neither the crime of curing Lin Duyan, nor does he suspect others ......"
Ruoyun gasped when she heard her talk about the past, and looked at her in disbelief.
"I know that as the emperor, the power of the previous dynasty was heavy, no matter who it was at the beginning, you must endure it." Mo Xiaochen's hand resting on the tea table slowly tightened, and suddenly his face showed pain, almost from between his teeth, and he said hatefully, "But that's my child!" But that's me and his child! Why can he be so indifferent and calm?! Why is it that he can be indifferent when I succeed one after another? Have you ever seen him sad?! ”
Mo Xiaochen's tone was short, her eyes were fierce, Ruoyun looked at her eyes that suddenly became hideous and then blank, her heart was instantly blocked, and she slowly said after a long time: "Because...... Because the emperor thought that he had killed too much, so the heavens punished him,......" she said, and sighed inaudibly.
Mo Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, his shock was beyond words, and he glared at Ruoyun, who nodded very affirmatively.
For a while, no one spoke, no one moved, time seemed to freeze, and in addition to the sweet cinnamon fragrance in the air, there was also Mo Zhaoyi's increasingly heavy breathing.
"So...... On the one hand, you think about the emperor, and on the other hand, you hate the emperor. Ruoyun closed her eyes slightly, her heart was mixed, although she couldn't have the pain of cutting her skin, she could also experience Mo Xiaochen's loss.
Mo Xiaochen did not answer, but sat still, buried his head slightly, and looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the door with his eyes, crying and indifferent.
"You didn't harm Wang Han's children, but because of my investigation these days?" Ruoyun didn't pay attention to her lost soul, and asked when she asked.
When Mo Xiaochen heard this, he retracted his gaze, stabilized his mind, and nodded: "If you can avenge me, I can let Wang Xiurong's child go!" ”
"You know that in order to make Hu Shu'er sober and confess the mastermind, I have to find out the person who killed her, so you deliberately stood up, right?" Ruoyun frowned, remembering Wang Han's sentence "Although a woman is weak, a mother is strong", Mo Xiaochen in front of him could fight himself in order to avenge his son.
"After she killed me, she died down, and after waiting for all these years, I finally waited until she couldn't bear it anymore and shot again......" Mo Zhaoyi looked cunning and sneered, "You rely on the means of the king with a different surname, sooner or later you will find out what I did, it is better to plan and take revenge." ”
Ruoyun was secretly frightened, and she probably knew who she was referring to, but she didn't intend to admit it: "I'm not that reliable." ”
Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaochen was unmoved by her refusal, nodded affirmatively at Ruoyun, and said eagerly, "Concubine Xian Niangniang is extremely intelligent, and after entering the palace, she is even more ingenious and assists the emperor, just because you can use that luminous powder, I know that you will be able to do what I want." ”
If Yun's back is stiff, there is a dilemma. Sighing with a wry smile: "I have three days left, and I can only deal with it impartially." ”
"That's enough." Mo Xiaochen was fearless, took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve and handed it to her. "It's the ins and outs, and I've signed it. I quietly belittled the people of Luoxiaju Palace last night, and there are only three palace maids left, and I can plead guilty alone. ”
Ruoyun hurriedly took it, and after a cursory look, she was shocked, put the note into her arms, and hurriedly said: "Since you know that person made a move, do you know the clue?" ”
"When you were still in Yong'an Palace. The people of Tongyue Palace suddenly visited Xianglan Ju. Mo Xiaochen said categorically.
Ruoyun stood up "ho", her face was slightly pale, and she blurted out: "Chu Rulan!" ”
"Not bad. Tar someone with the same brush. Mo Xiaochen nodded, his face showing viciousness, "You are bound to seize this opportunity!" ”
Ruoyun touched her terrifying gaze, and for a moment it seemed like a surge of emotion rushed to her face. suddenly realized why Mo Zhaoyi was not jealous or hateful to the harem concubines. It's just that all her resentment is given to the same person - Concubine De Luo Yiran.
"That'...... Mo Zhaoyi, do you want to take revenge on the emperor again? Ruoyun asked in a low voice.
Mo Xiaochen's eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth and finally didn't answer.
Ruoyun looked at Mo Xiaochen's changes, and suddenly understood that the woman in front of her didn't really hate the emperor, on the contrary, she just killed two birds with one stone and killed two birds for the emperor by the way, and Wang Han's father was a loyal minister and a good general, so she didn't really start in between. The person in front of him was only sad - because of the emperor's unbelief and disregard. It's just sadness, and this sadness is years. All of them are hidden under the usual smiling Yan Yaya, Gu Pan Shenfei, and even the disguise that doesn't mind the palace concubine.
Ruoyun thought about it and sighed, feeling that Mo Xiaochen's green pothos brocade clothes were becoming more and more dazzling.
"The emperor has arrived!" Chang De's old and slender voice sounded, interrupting Ruoyun's thoughts.
When Mo Zhaoyi heard the summons, her face turned pale, and she knelt silently in the hall.
"Xiaochen, what they said you were plotting to kill the emperor's heir, but is it true?!" Rong Jinhuan arrived before he arrived, and his tone was full of disbelief and doubt.
Ruoyun watched Rong Jinhuan's thick eyebrows lock and stride into the hall, and hurriedly followed Xiaohong behind him, without waiting for Mo Zhaoyi to speak, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, let me take over this matter......"
"Take over?" After Rong Jinhuan stood still, he swept his eyes coldly at Ruoyun, then looked at Mo Xiaochen who was kneeling, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and said angrily, "You told me, is it true?" ”
Mo Zhaoyi looked at each other without fear and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty. ”
"Shu'er's child was harmed by you? How to mix with spices? Rong Jinhuan asked in a deep voice, and the strength in his hand suddenly tightened.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty." Mo Zhaoyi nodded slightly, without the slightest hint of pain.
Ruoyun looked at Xiaohong who was gesturing at her behind Rong Jinhuan, and knew that Rong Jinhuan should not believe it at first, and asked Xiaohong thoroughly about the future situation, and heard that the evidence was conclusive and Zhaoyi confessed, so he came quickly.
"Why?" Rong Jinhuan asked softly, his voice suddenly turned cold, and then he said angrily: "Why?!" ”
He let go suddenly, Mo Xiaochen fell to the ground, she hurriedly lowered her head and knelt down again.
"I've been giving you for so many years, isn't it enough for you? In the palace, you are the only one who is the most favored and has the most comfortable life, even Old Man Mo openly refuted it in the court, and I didn't embarrass you because of this! The name of your Luoxia House is also specially approved by me! Why do you want to treat me like this?! Rong Jinhuan pointed at her and asked in a dumb voice, almost hysterical, with a terrifying gaze.
"The emperor knew that the concubines found out that Mo Zhaoyi thought that the fathers of those concubines were already in high positions or were troubled by the emperor, and they were afraid that the child would be born and cause trouble to their relatives, so they were willing to do their own power and bear the charge." Ruoyun knelt down beside Mo Xiaochen, looked at Rong Jinhuan's cloudy face, and said quickly, "Wang Xiurong is safe and sound, which is the best evidence." ”
"Presumptuous!" Rong Jinhuan reprimanded loudly and glared angrily.
"Your Majesty, please punish the concubines." Mo Xiaochen spoke up and said calmly, "The concubine did plot to kill the emperor's heir, and it is difficult to escape the responsibility. ”
Rong Jinhuan was furious, his eyes moved, and he actually hit it with his backhand.
Xiaohong exclaimed, and subconsciously stepped forward to tear Ruoyun away, and at the same time, the slap fell on Mo Xiaochen's face with a crisp sound.
Mo Xiaochen's fair cheeks suddenly appeared red marks, her face did not change, she slowly straightened up, still kneeling, kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Xiaochen is innocent of death." (To be continued......)
