"You're doing a good job."

Mo Xiao gently opened his lips and looked at Su Nianqing.

Su Nianqing put down the book and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, when I was a child, my brother forced me to practice light skills, and if I didn't practice, he beat me, and I ran away desperately." But slowly he stopped beating me, and later I realized that he couldn't catch up. ”

Su Nianqing said this with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her face was relaxed.

Mo Xiao suddenly laughed, he hadn't smiled for a long time, he actually hid his face and smiled.

"Your brother is willing to beat you."

It seems that she is not as well-behaved as he seems on the surface, her brother loves her so much that he can beat her, he must have been naughty.

"Did the prince meet me?" Su Nianqing asked suddenly.

"Hmm."

Mo Xiao said and lowered his head and sat down, he didn't say that he hadn't caught up with Su Nianqing, "Where have you been?" ”

"East Palace!"

Su Nianqing didn't say anything about her meeting Chu Shen on the road, only that she went to the East Palace.

Mo Xiao suddenly became angry, "What are you doing in the East Palace?" ”

A person went to the East Palace, and if he couldn't come back, all his plans would be changed.

Su Nianqing ignored Mo Xiao's questioning, "Do you know that I discovered a big secret in the East Palace?" ”

said with a smug face, like a child asking for credit.

Mo Xiao raised his eyes and waited for Su Nianqing's next words.

Su Nianqing lowered her voice, for fear that others would know, "The prince is actually having an affair with Concubine Ru." As he spoke, his eyes widened, as if he had discovered a big secret.

Mo Xiao covered his mouth again and chuckled, Su Nianqing's appearance at this time he inexplicably felt funny.

Su Nianqing frowned, "Mo Xiao, what are you laughing at?" ”

Isn't he surprised by such a big secret?

"Concubine Ru is the person next to the queen, and as early as in the middle palace, the queen found that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, so she sent Concubine Ru to the emperor." Mo Xiao said easily and naturally, because this is not a secret, many people know it, and he has also secretly checked it, and the crown prince and Concubine Ru are indeed secretly in contact.

"This ...... Your royal ...... "Su Nianqing wanted to say that your royal relationship is so messy?" But in the end, he didn't say anything.

After a while, Mo Xiao suddenly spoke, "In the future, no one is allowed to go to the East Palace." ”

A trace of throbbing flashed in Su Nianqing's heart, did he care about her?

Su Nianqing raised her eyes to look at Mo Xiao, and there was still light in her eyes this time.

Mo Xiao didn't look up, he felt her gaze from the corner of his eye, and opened the corner of his lips lightly, "If you are taken down by the people of the East Palace or the party of the Five Princes, it will inevitably disrupt the plan of this king." ”

The light in Su Nianqing's eyes eventually dimmed, he finally took care of the overall situation, and he always cared about himself. She thought he cared a little bit about her safety, but she thought too much.

There was nothing to say all night, and for more than ten days, they slept together, but in the end, they had different dreams in the same bed, and Mo Xiao never dared to sleep soundly, for fear that his role as the emperor in the palace would be exposed.

Today's court is unusually calm, and there is no more concerto, Mo Xiao has been idle for half a day, sitting on the soft couch and learning Su Nianqing's appearance, and reading books.

Su Nianqing seemed to be very busy, writing something, writing several pages, and never stopped. Mo Xiao was curious, but he didn't ask her in the end.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Su Nianqing put down her pen and carefully put away the things she had just written.

"Mo Xiao, are you so idle today?" Su Nianqing was a little strange, how could Mo Xiao suddenly be so idle?

Mo Xiao put down the book and stretched, "There is nothing to do in the court, there is no one in the chapter, and it is rare for this king to be idle for a day." ”

He knew that this was a sign before the storm, and the ministers could not sit still.

Su Nianqing didn't believe it, with Mo Xiao's character, he could be so leisurely, there were only two possibilities, first, he had already thought of a perfect plan. Second, he intends to fight to the death. Obviously, there will not be the first possibility.

Su Nianqing stared at Mo Xiao, and Mo Xiao suddenly lowered his head, not daring to face Su Nianqing's gaze.

Su Nianqing slowly opened her lips, "Mo Xiao, you are lying." She knew him so well, how could she not read his thoughts?

"Now you want to hide anything from me, I won't ask, it's just that I want to know where my father is now?"

Su Nianqing had never asked, but today he suddenly asked like this, and Mo Xiao was a little caught off guard.

Mo Xiao raised his eyes, his eyes were facing each other, and Mo Xiao turned his head again to avoid Su Nianqing's gaze.

After a while, Mo Xiao got up, Su Nianqing followed behind him, and the two came to the rockery in Zhaoren Palace.

There is a cave behind the rockery, but this cave is also formed by a rockery, the cave is not big, and there is a bright light in it, leading to the garden at the back.

Mo Xiao approached the middle of the cave and stood still, took out a piece of iron from his arms, placed it in the groove on his right, and turned it.

It turns out that there is no cave here, and this rockery is to cover up this secret passage.

With a turn, there was the sound of the stone door opening, and a stone door appeared in front of Su Nianqing after a while, Mo Xiao walked in with his legs raised, Su Nianqing followed, and the stone door slowly closed as soon as the two entered, without any trace.

The inside was dim, Mo Xiao took out the fire fold he carried with him and lit it, and suddenly there was light, and down the stone steps, there was a spacious stone room inside. There are frescoes on the walls, candlesticks everywhere, the floor is clean and tidy, there is nothing.

Su Nianqing felt a chill, and when she walked in here, she felt cold, and coupled with such an environment, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Walking through the middle of the stone room, due to the dim light, Su Nianqing didn't see the road on the ground clearly, and felt like he stepped into a small pit, "Ah! The ground screamed.

Suddenly, there were countless echoes of "ah, ah, ah......" all around. followed by a short arrow flying towards Su Nianqing.

Mo Xiao hurriedly pulled Su Nianqing behind him with one hand, turned around and leaned against the stone wall, and after the arrow shot at the stone wall, it sent out a burst of sparks and landed in front of the two.

The fire was suddenly extinguished, and there was silence all around.

"Boom!"

Mo Xiao triggered the mechanism, and a stone door slowly opened again, and at this time, Su Nianqing was still tightly tugging on Mo Xiao's sleeve.

"Let's go!"

Mo Xiao's deep voice came, and Su Nianqing hurriedly let go of his hand and approached the stone gate.

There were candles everywhere inside, and it was noticeably warmer.

"Lord Wang!"

A guard came over to salute, but his eyes were fixed on Su Nianqing behind Mo Xiao, and his expression seemed to be able to make her die in a moment.

"I'm coming to see my father, she is the princess."

After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he stepped forward, and the emperor was lying on the bed, and the imperial doctor was waiting with him.

Only then did Su Nianqing see that the emperor's face was pale, and the corners of his lips were a little bruised.

The Imperial Physician was also helpless, and had never seen such poison.

The imperial physician looked at Mo Xiao and shook his head, Mo Xiao turned to look at Su Nianqing, "Father has always been here." ”

It's the safest here. He still has his concerns, in case the prince makes a move, at least he can protect the emperor for a while.

Zhaoren Palace is safe for the time being, and the emperor's personal guards surround the place. When Su Nianqing and Mo Xiao came out of the underground palace, it was already afternoon.

Mo Xiao returned to Zhaoren Palace, and Su Nianqing found an excuse not to be with Mo Xiao.

The Five Princes' Mansion

After discussing with the five princes, Concubine Rong determined that something was wrong, and in the past few days, she convened the five princes and a party to discuss.

At this time, the crown prince of the East Palace had a malicious smile on his face, "In this case, help the fifth brother!" ”
