Chapter 14: The Shadow of Others
The emperor didn't speak again, just waiting for Su Nianqing's words, and the room became quiet again.
Su Nianqing seemed to hear her own heartbeat, and only after a while did she lower her voice and said: "Erchen has never been separated from his brother, I think my brother is reluctant to give up his son, and he will definitely go back to visit his brother with his husband in the future." ”
"But Xiao Er may not be willing, didn't he go back with you on the day he returned to the door?"
The old emperor spoke softly, but every word was loud.
He wasn't in Kyoto at the time, so how did he know that Mo Xiao hadn't returned with her?
Suddenly, Su Nianqing's heart was cold, and his face seemed to have goosebumps, and a thought appeared in his mind, Mo Xiao's wedding, the emperor was not in Kyoto, he must be testing Mo Xiao, one to see his ambitions, and the other to see his power, if Mo Xiao's power is strong enough, then Mo Xiao will take action when the big wedding happens.
Su Nianqing's body trembled inexplicably, but he couldn't show it, and he was thinking about how to respond to what the old emperor said just now.
After a while, Su Nianqing tried to squeeze out a smile from the corner of his mouth, "Erchen didn't want him to accompany him that day, the royal family has no rules for returning to the door, Erchen loves the prince deeply, and he is afraid that he will lose the royal face and tell the truth." ”
Su Nianqing's tone pretended to be calm.
Because of this sentence, the emperor's suspicion became heavier, and he thought that Su Nianqing was really stupid, but it seems that they had already colluded?
The emperor sighed deeply, took his eyes off Su Nianqing, and continued to look at the books in his hand that had never been opened.
"Do you know why Xiao'er married you?"
Because of Su Nianqing's words just now, the emperor resorted to the final temptation.
At this point, Su Nianqing also understood, thinking that she was smart, but she directly stuffed herself into a dead end, so that the emperor would inevitably regard her and Mo Xiao as opponents, what about the Su family?
In the middle of the night, Su Nianqing raised her head and looked directly at the old emperor, there was no fear in her eyes, she had lived a lifetime, what else was she afraid of? "The prince loves Nian'er deeply."
But in an instant, the old emperor's words made Su Nianqing completely fall into the ice cellar.
I saw the old emperor put down the book in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and watched Su Nianqing say word by word, "Because you look like my daughter, Ning'er." ”
Su Nianqing's nerves were not tensed after all, and she suddenly raised her head and looked at the old emperor in disbelief, "Princess Shaoning?" ”
No one had ever told her that she looked like Shao Ning, and the words Mo Xiao said suddenly appeared in her mind, and Mo Xiao said that she married her because of her face.
At this moment, Su Nianqing finally understood the meaning of Mo Xiao's words.
It turns out that she is a shadow of someone else.
When Su Nianqing walked out of the emperor's bedroom, the sky was already dark, and it was always dark late in early winter. As soon as she left the dormitory, the biting chill outside swept in, but Su Nianqing didn't reach out to pull her clothes, she only walked with dull eyes, and she didn't even know that Yuzhu put on a cloak for her.
Mo Xiao stood not far from Su Nianqing in a dark robe, seemingly blending with the night, and when he saw Su Nianqing come out, he took two steps forward.
When I got closer, I saw Su Nianqing's face pale.
"What's wrong with you?"
Mo Xiao's tone was not as cold as before, and seemed to reveal a little concern.
Su Nianqing looked up at Mo Xiao, his eyes were full of disdain, was it still necessary for him to pretend at this moment?
I don't know if it's because of the cold or something else, Su Nianqing shivered, and her feet didn't seem to be able to walk.
Mo Xiao stretched out his hand to hug Su Nianqing, and suddenly a warmth came, Su Nianqing did not shirk it, and the two walked towards the palace gate.
Su Nianqing knew that they couldn't get out of the palace gate, "Mo Xiao, I took myself and the Su family for you." ”
The voice was crying, these words came from the heart, she did this in her previous life, and it was the same in this life, and she naturally couldn't escape her fate if she lived another life.
Mo Xiao didn't make a sound, just hugged Su Nianqing like that, there were patrolling guards everywhere, and there were eyeliners everywhere, and one of his actions could kill him.
When he was about to arrive at the palace gate, Su Nianqing suddenly stopped, raised his eyes and looked at the open palace gate, "No matter what happens for a while, you can't leave me." The tone is firm and cannot be refused.
She said no, not no, the latter is begging, the former is a command.
Mo Xiao didn't make a sound, he really didn't understand at this time, Su Nianqing, he didn't seem to be able to guess.
The next moment, a group of soldiers with weapons appeared in front of the two of them in an instant, led by the commander of the palace, General Xiang.
Xiang Yuan said with a smile on his face: "Lord, princess, the emperor has an order for King Yu to get married, and let King Yu take the princess to stay in the palace." ’”
Xiang Yuan spoke softly, but the sword in his hand was ready to go out of his body at any time, as long as Mo Xiao moved, he would be pierced by ten thousand arrows at any time, because as long as Xiang Yuan was there, there must be an archer hidden behind him.
Mo Xiao glanced at Xiang Yuan coldly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a good-looking arc, but this smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Thank you for your kindness, General Lao Xiang." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Su Nianqing and turned around and walked towards the palace. He had known for a long time that the old emperor would not believe him.
Thinking of Su Nianqing's words just now, Mo Xiao had all kinds of thoughts in her heart, did she know something early in the morning or what she said to the emperor just now?
But he hates Su Nianqing like this, obviously he is afraid, but he won't beg him, in his heart she should beg him not to leave him, right? But what Su Nianqing said was not about it.
The more she walked in, the more panicked Su Nianqing became, Mo Xiao had already let go of her hand, he thought that she was just afraid of being stopped by the guards, but in fact, what Su Nianqing was most afraid of was the next scene.
The Dusk Cloud Palace is at the innermost end of the palace, Mo Xiao lived there until he was twelve years old, and he became the king at the age of twelve and has the current Yuwang Mansion.
The further he went, the faster Su Nianqing's heart beated, although there was some difference between him and his previous life, he was no worse in major matters. In his previous life, it was tonight that Mo Xiao completely broke with the emperor, and it was also tonight that Su Nianqing almost died in the palace, just for Mo Xiao.
To get to the Twilight Palace, you have to go through a long corridor where you were in your previous life......
Su Nianqing subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Mo Xiao's clothes, at this time the moonlight was exceptionally bright, the shadows of the two were reflected on the ground, Mo Xiao put his hands behind his back, Su Nianqing stretched out his hand, and the shadow looked like Su Nianqing was holding Mo Xiao's hand, and Mo Xiao only cared about walking forward, without the slightest intention of looking back, maybe he was thinking about things, because in this palace, he had too many memories.
Su Nianqing retracted her hand, retracted her cold hands into her sleeves, and stopped.
Mo Xiao turned around at this time, his brows furrowed slightly, a little impatient, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Mo Xiao, if I had grown up with you since I was a child, would you not treat me like I am now?" It's so mean.
Su Nianqing wanted to ask this in her previous life, but she was afraid that Mo Xiao would be angry, so she didn't ask, now that she wants to come, it's impossible to be angry for her, Su Nianqing, who are you?
Mo Xiao's eyes moved away from Su Nianqing, and he didn't look at her again, "It was the Third Emperor Brother who grew up with you, and there is no such thing in life." ”
What did he mean by that? Su Nianqing didn't understand, so she just lowered her head and read silently: "No, yes." "What if she hadn't been born again? What kind of mood did Mo Xiao feel after her death, did you feel sorry for her?
There were no lights in the hallway, and the moonlight shone only on the feet of the two men. The surroundings are terrifyingly quiet, and the previous life was ......
Before I had time to think about it, there was a figure in front of me in a flash, and I couldn't hide from it.
Not a figure, but a person, the back of a woman in a pale pink dress.
