Chapter 65: The Dark Tide Surging (4)
"Weichen see Niangniang, Niangniang is okay today?"
Mei Liangyu entered the palace today to greet the Queen Mother, and took a detour to Qingli Palace.
Mo Ran'an was uneasy, a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that some dark green eye circles, even if they were covered with fat powder, could still be seen, and the eyes were also godless, and the whole person exuded a sick atmosphere.
"Brother Mei is exempt, I'm fine, but I slept too little, nothing important."
She is still reluctant to tell others about Miyazawa-kun in her selfish heart.
Whether it is because of his emperor's face or her affection, he must always defend him in front of others.
"Niangniang, what Weichen said before counts at any time."
Mei Liangyu was afraid that something would happen to her and didn't say anything, Rao was that he had the heart to help, and he had no position or reason, but it was different when she opened her mouth, what he did was just a courtier to help the monarch and the minister.
"Thank you, Brother Mei, I'm really fine."
He understood, and said no more. took out the jade Ruyi that had been prepared before and handed it to Cen Er who was on the side.
"Niangniang, this is given by a friend of the minister, the minister has always not paid much attention to the gold and jade things, and there is no female dependents in the minister's family to play, so I specially came to dedicate it to the mother."
Mo Ran saw this jade Ruyi, not to mention the superior quality of jade, they all said that jade is cold in nature, but this jade is not cold in his hand, it is even more transparent, the sound of hitting it is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and the carved pattern is even more fine and abnormal.
"This is a very valuable object, Brother Mei, you better take it back, I can't accept it."
Such an object, if you want to say that she can't find a few pieces in the entire Northern Xia, she really feels deserved to give it to her.
"Niangniang take it, and besides, Weichen will take it back and fall into the ashes in the warehouse, and let it be dusty in vain."
Mo Ran seemed to open his mouth to refuse, only to hear him say again: "And half a month later, the hundred countries will come, Niangniang is the important position of the harem, and the female relatives from all over the world must come to visit Niangniang, and there must always be an object in the Niangniang Palace that can be suppressed." ”
She was reluctant to ask for such a valuable thing, but after listening to Mei Liangyu, she also felt that it made sense, so she accepted it.
"Thank you, Brother Mei."
"The mother is very polite, the duty of the minister."
Mo Ran is grateful in his heart, the courtier gave the mother a gift, what kind of duty is this, it's just to pity her, others are kind to her, she always has to give people back ten points.
"Brother Mei, when will Brother Qing enter the palace?"
He explained.
Originally, Ji Yanqing was going to enter the palace today, but I don't know why Si Qingge stopped him, thinking that there was something to say.
"As soon as the emperor is free, he will definitely take Niangniang out to see the lord of the country, Niangniang doesn't have to be anxious."
"Well, I'll wait a few days, and I'm not in a hurry."
She is in no hurry, she is like an idler every day, and the whole palace is like a pool of stagnant water on weekdays, except for the few hours when Miyazawa Kun is there.
Even Si Qingge came to see her every few days, and it became a major event in Qingli's palace.
"Niangniang is so stuffy in the palace? It's better to go back to the emperor and go to Qingfeng Mountain to see, the minister heard that in the past few days, the capital has held a temple fair of 100 countries in Qingfeng Mountain, which is very lively. ”
Moreover, Aomine Mountain is the territory of the tribe and is absolutely safe.
In the past, Mo Ran would never have stayed so quietly by herself for so many days, and Mei Liangyu knew that she definitely didn't like the same court life.
"I ...... Let me ask him. ”
Mo Ran vaguely agreed.
With just this sentence, Mei Liangyu heard that something was going on between Miyazawa-kun and her.
"That lady is good at taking care of herself, and Weichen retired first."
Since she didn't want to say it, then he went to check it himself.
"Brother Mei go slowly, Cen Er, send it for me."
She is a harem mother, she can't send relatives and friends when they go out, and she has to pay attention to her words and deeds at all times, which is really tiring.
said that it was sent, Cen Er didn't dare to lead the way for Mei Liangyu, after all, she knew his thoughts about Niangniang, that is, Niangniang, she was so good to her, she couldn't see it.
"King, lord, you go slowly."
"Miss Cen Er."
As soon as Cen Er turned around, she heard Mei Liangyu calling out to her from behind.
The shadow of the last time she was intimidated by him was still there, and when she heard him call out to herself, her legs weakened in fright.
"King, what else does the prince command?"
Mei Liangyu saw her fear, and her tone softened, and said.
"Miss Cen Er don't panic, this king wants to apologize to you, this king was rude to the girl before, and I hope the girl doesn't take it to heart."
Cen Er hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, the slave doesn't dare to take it to heart, and the prince doesn't have to worry about it." ”
"That's good, then please ask the girl to take care of her mother, this king...... Thank you, girl. ”
"The duty of the slave and maid, the prince can rest assured."
Mei Liangyu nodded, said a word and went back.
Leaving Cen Er to sigh at the door of Qingli Palace.
The king of Beiqing admires Concubine Li's mother, she sees it clearly, but the emperor and Niangniang's husband and wife are also golden, it seems that this prince is wishful thinking.
The most important thing in the palace is that there is such a love affair, and a person like the prince is not exempt from vulgarity, and he is a person who is infatuated and hard-working.
――――――――――――
Gong Zekun and Mo Ran have been cold for a few days, he will still come to Qingli Palace for dinner, and stay here in the evening, but it is such a palace that is big or small, Mo Ran can always avoid him.
I don't eat with him, and I always fall asleep before he comes.
So even though they were in the same room for the past few days, they didn't even say a word.
"Ran'er, I know that you are not asleep, you are hiding from me."
Finally, three days later, Miyazawa Kun couldn't stand such a daily cold war, and spoke first.
"Believe it or not, since six years ago, I can't see you in my eyes, and I can't bear to live without you."
"Concubine Ting, she was an accident, I didn't think she would become an obstacle to us, her entry into the palace is only because her tears are the medicine for you to come back to life."
"What you see, I am good to her, just because of guilt, after all, I brought her into this palace, I can't give her the same love as you, I can only keep her in the palace without worrying about food and clothing, gold and silver."
"But I love you, Mo Ran, Yihuan, I have always had you in my heart, unless I cut my heart, otherwise you will always be in it."
"Mo Ran, you are too stubborn, so stubborn that I dare not say some things to you, you don't understand, but you have to remember one thing."
"No matter what I become, I have you in my heart."
His voice was low and magnetic, slowly piercing from Mo Ran's ears into his heart in the middle of the night.
This is his explanation, an emperor's explanation of his favorite concubine, and a husband's explanation of his wife.
I can't tell what it felt, but her heart was stirred up layer by layer, eroding her already fragile heart.
It was like a meteor that was fleeting, but it rhymed for a long time, and she didn't fall asleep for a long time.
Until I heard the sound of Miyazawa Kun squirming and dressing, another morning came.
Only then did she open her eyes, which were blurred with tears, and every word of last night had smashed a hole in her heart, and in the end it was full of holes.
Cen Er came to wake Mo Ran up as usual, and after calling twice but not responding, she found Mo Ran's abnormality.
"Mother? Are you awake? ”
She stood outside the tent, and although she couldn't see the people inside, she could faintly hear low sobs.
"Mother, are you up now? The slave will bring you breakfast. ”
"Cen Er, I want to wash my face."
The voice in the tent was hoarse and full of tiredness.
Mo Ran cleaned up quickly, but because of the lack of powder, red and swollen glasses and haggard face, she seemed to have experienced a catastrophe.
In the next two days, as if he was deliberately trying to hang her, he didn't come to Qingli Palace once, nor did he send anyone here, not even a word.
At first, she was able to accept it calmly, but then she was panicked and nervous, and even a little scared.
I'm afraid that Jun En is not here.
Afraid of his boredom, she actually understood everything he said that day, but she was still afraid.
It may be the anxiety of being a woman.
And Miyazawa Kun, who was anxious in the Zhengyuan Palace, did not want to deliberately ignore Mo Ran.
It has been six or seven days since the prince was poisoned, but not even a single suspect has been found.
Monan, who was in charge of the search, also found nothing.
"Your Majesty, the last general has been ordered to search the harem twice, but there are no clues."
Miyazawa Kun stared at the desk and pondered, he believed in Mo Nan's ability, if he didn't even find out, then maybe there was no one in the palace.
"Okay, I know, you go back first, I'll summon you if there's something."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Before Mo Nan walked out of the upper study, He Huai came in with a person, and his face was very unkind.
"General Mo is also here, just in time, the old minister of the province has run again."
Mo Nan also stopped when he heard this.
"See the emperor, the king of Suli in the southeast has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
The person who came with He Huai was the king of Su Li, the most financially powerful of the many subject countries, and there were countless commercial trades with Northern Xia, and the He family had dealings with him.
"King Su Li is polite, and he will give him a seat."
"Your Majesty, King Su Li came this time to sign a purchase regulation for 100,000 taels of gold with our Northern Xia, which is a good opportunity for Northern Xia to enrich the treasury."
Originally, I was still worried about Qi'er's poisoning, but when I heard this, I immediately came to my senses.
Before the Northern Xia seized the throne of the civil war, the cost of military salaries was huge, and now the treasury is empty, if this regulation can be signed with the southeast, except for another major war, then there is no need to worry about the treasury for at least five years.
"Does King Su Li really mean this? Na I arranged for the people of the household department to negotiate with King Su Li about the regulations after the court. ”
"The emperor doesn't have to be like this, this king and Lord He have known each other for a long time and are familiar with each other, so it is very appropriate for Lord He to talk to this king in detail."
Although this sounds okay, Miyazawa Kun still doesn't want He Huai to have too close contacts with the southeast.
"This is unreasonable, it is more appropriate for King Su Li to discuss with the household department in detail."
"Your Majesty, I don't lack gold in the southeast, and I don't have to ask for things from Northern Xia, the reason why this king is here is also at the invitation of Lord He, and I hope the emperor can approve it."
The first half of the sentence is threatening, and the second half is courteous, this King Su Li is not easy to bully.
Hubu, there is no He Huai's people in it, so he said that he wants Hubu to talk, this King Su Li directly asked He Huai, but he can't help but agree.
"In this way, King Su Li, I will arrange for the household department to discuss the regulations with the big Sima, and the big Sima will formulate the big regulations, and leave the rest to the household department."
Just having friends talk about it together is the biggest concession he can make.
If King Su Li continues to insist, Northern Xia will not lack him for this mutual trade.
But fortunately, King Su Li nodded and agreed.
"It will take a few days to congratulate, King Su Li can enjoy the local customs of Northern Xia, and I will arrange for someone to take you to the suburbs of the capital to see, where the scenery is extremely good."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The matter was over, but there was no sign of anyone leaving.
He Huai turned to face Mo Nan and said a word in a very low voice.
Mo Nan's eyes widened like bull's eyes when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand to hit him, but he still held back.
"Your Majesty, the old minister asked a lot, how did the emperor investigate the poisoning of the eldest prince?"
"I'll leave this matter to Monan, you can listen to him."
Mo Nan got the order, held back the irritability in his heart, and began to talk to He Huai.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Da Sima, I have searched every place in the palace, and there is nothing suspicious. ”
He Huai seemed to be unwilling, and asked again.
"Did General Mo really search well?"
"That's nature, isn't there anything that Da Sima is worried about?"
"I don't think so, General Mo."
"What does this mean, Da Sima?"
"What the old minister means is that General Mo is afraid that he did not search completely and deliberately omitted that person's information."
"Da Sima, you must pay attention to evidence in doing things."
He Huai snorted coldly and said, "The old minister is naturally twelve points sure.
"General Mo has checked those palaces, I don't want to know, but there is one thing, General Mo is afraid that he has not been there at all."
"Qingli Palace."
Short and powerful, just three words.
