Chapter Thirty-Three: She's Leaving After All
It turned out that Mo Xiao's plan was never to get rid of either the five princes or the crown prince, and at the same time weaken their power, so that they would lose both little by little.
The arrow that injured the five princes was poisoned by Chu Shen, so the five princes were in a coma for so long. During this time, the princelings were looking for evidence of the day, and finally found out that the person who shot the arrow was actually the person of the fifth prince.
The matter was extremely lively, the prince secretly summoned assassins, and it happened that the five princes were hit by arrows, but the result was a bitter plan arranged by the five princes themselves.
The emperor could only think that it was a brotherly discord, so one person hit the other and got into trouble, the prince was confined to the East Palace, and the five princes were cut down for a year, and his right to supervise the household department was withdrawn.
The civil and military officials trembled, especially the ministers standing on both sides, who couldn't sleep at night, for fear of finding out which of them he was close to overnight.
But even so, Mo Xiao still didn't get any benefits, he still only had the power of the Praetorian Guard.
Su Nianqing waited at the door, and Mo Xiao's carriage came slowly at dusk, and Shao Chun saw it from afar, so he approached the carriage and said to Mo Xiao: "Lord, the princess is waiting for you at the door." ”
Mo Xiao was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, he had experienced this scene countless times, but what Shao Chun said before was: "Lord Wang, Miss Su is waiting for you at the door." ”
At that time, he was so helpless, he couldn't wait to fly in from the palace and avoid Su Nianqing, but today he didn't want to, because she never waited for him after the wedding.
Mo Xiao slowly opened his lips, "Can you find out what you checked?" ”
"A few days before the wedding, General Su accompanied the princess to the Guanyin Temple to buy incense, and later King Yin accompanied the brother and sister to buy a dowry." Speaking of this, Shao Chun suddenly paused, but he didn't dare to hide it when he thought about it. continued: "I heard that the princess's dowry was all from King Yin. ”
Mo Xiao was unfazed, "Is there anything else?" "Because he already knew this, Mo Rong's wealth is rival that of the country, what is a mere 100,000 taels of silver? But these don't seem to have anything to do with Su Nianqing's changes.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the gate of the palace, and the carriage slowly stopped not far from Su Nianqing.
Mo Xiao sat in the carriage and did not move, in the past, she would pull the curtain, pretending to be coquettish and said: "Lord Wang, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
But after waiting for a long time today, Shao Chun pulled the curtain and stretched out his hand, "Lord Wang, it's here." ”
Mo Xiao didn't take Shao Chun's hand, but jumped down and looked at Su Nianqing.
Su Nianqing and Yuzhu's master and servant stood there, she was wearing a cloak and holding a stove in her hand, staring at this side.
"See the prince."
The master and servant saluted at the same time, and Su Nianqing was not half emotional.
"Is the princess waiting for this king?" Mo Xiao looked at Su Nianqing.
"Yes."
Su Nianqing replied categorically, without half a moment of hesitation, but there was no half of the surprise when he had ever seen him.
"Let's go, I heard you're afraid of the cold." After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he walked towards the door without waiting for Su Nianqing to speak.
He said that she was afraid of the cold, if it was in her previous life, Su Nianqing would have been overjoyed, in her previous life, he never remembered that Su Nianqing was afraid of the cold, and let her stand at the door of the study on a snowy day.
"Lord Wang, has my brother returned?" Su Nianqing finally asked this sentence, this was the purpose of her waiting for Mo Xiao.
Mo Xiao had just stepped into the threshold with one foot, and when he heard Su Nianqing ask, he immediately retreated and turned to look at Su Nianqing, "That's what you're waiting for this king?" ”
Su Nianqing was silent, as if she had acquiesced.
"It's back, it's early." After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he strode towards the palace, without hesitation.
Su Nianqing finally put her mind at ease, walked back to the house, roasted a charcoal fire, and drank ginger soup.
Mo Xiao had dinner, it was already dark, and he painted at will in the study, he always painted only one person, Mo Yu, but today he painted more like Su Nianqing, because there was light in those big eyes.
"Shao Chun."
Mo Xiao called lightly.
Shao Chun immediately pushed the door in and said, "Lord Wang!" ”
Mo Xiao got up and put on his clothes, "You stay in the study, don't go out until I come back." ”
Shao Chun didn't understand Mo Xiao's approach, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to respond, and stood aside with a sword.
Mo Xiao gestured with his eyes to the position he had just sat in, "Where to sit down." ”
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Shao Chun was terrified, how could he sit in the prince's seat.
"Let you sit and you will sit." Mo Xiao's tone was cold, and he couldn't afford to discuss it again.
Shao Chun had to sit down tremblingly, not daring to move. Is this to make yourself pretend to be him? But it's late at night, where is the prince going?
Mo Xiao entered the palace, the palace from the roof, a dignified prince has to climb over the wall when he enters the palace?
Went straight to the "Yunxi Palace", where Mo Rong lived, he had already been crowned king, and there was a mansion outside, but the queen mother had been sick for a few years and let him stay in the palace, saying that it was good to take care of.
In addition to the queen mother and the crown prince and the emperor's bedroom, the other palaces have a "cloud" word, twilight clouds, Siyun, Yunxi, etc., if you don't follow the ancestral system, I'm afraid that even those three places have added the word cloud. And the woman with the cloud character in her name is said to be the crown prince's biological mother, the emperor's favorite woman, who has never been seen and has long since died.
Mo Xiao came to Yunxi Palace lightly, the lights had already been extinguished, and Mo Rong was afraid that he would have fallen asleep a long time ago.
What did he come to do?
About two hours, Mo Xiao returned to the Yuwang Mansion, and Shao Chun was still sitting there, not even changing his posture.
"Get out!"
Mo Xiao had a small burden on his hand.
After Shao Chun left, Mo Xiao opened the baggage, and inside it was the tooth-colored gown.
He went to Yunxi Palace and stole the dress in the Morong room.
The flow of cloud stitches is smooth, the auspicious cloud pattern is full and round, although it is not as good as the embroidery in the palace, but the smooth stitches and threads show the intentions.
"Su Nianqing, did you do it on purpose or don't you know what it means to send clothes?" In the northern kingdom of Linlin, a woman who fell in love with a man would make a dress for him with her own hands, indicating that she wanted to marry him.
In the past two years, Su Nianqing has often followed behind her, but she has never given her clothes, not even if she bought them, but she actually gave Morong clothes in front of her. This is a naked humiliation for Mo Xiao.
How does Mo Rong treat Su Nianqing, Mo Xiao knows that she must have her in her heart if she is so gentle, so are they childhood sweethearts?
Thinking about it, Mo Xiao folded the clothes and put them at the bottom of the box, and covered them with other clothes.
The moonlight outside was very bright, the moon turned oval, Mo Xiao opened the door and walked out, the cold wind was a little biting.
Before I knew it, I arrived in the backyard, the lights had already been turned off, and suddenly the situation of Su Nianqing waiting at the door appeared in my mind, and she said, "Lord Wang, you are finally here." There was light in her big eyes. She was gentle and pleasantly surprised.
But in the blink of an eye, the door was closed, and there were only some ginkgo biloba leaves that had just fallen in the doorway.
Mo Xiao was a little flustered for a moment, whether this scene was made up by him out of thin air or had it ever appeared, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it had never been.
There is also a white snow that appeared in his mind, it snows every year in the northern country, but when he thinks of snow, his heart will always ache inexplicably, as if he has lost something important.
Su Nianqing actually didn't fall asleep, thinking about what Chu Shen said during the day, she didn't dare to admit it, but she had to admit that in the afternoon, Mo Xiao just said that she was afraid of the cold, and her heart beat inexplicably.
But she is going to leave after all, and everything about Mo Xiao will have nothing to do with her.
