Chapter 42: A change of heart
♂?,,
He didn't react to Mo Yanyang's question of "where did you go", he first kicked Yuwen Changkong, and then went to Mo Chang to "appease": "Your Highness is frightened." ”
Of course, Mo Chang started acting, and told the lie he had told Mo Yanyang just now, "I was accompanied by Captain Yuwen to change clothes, but I didn't expect to be held hostage by the gangsters, thanks to the fierce disobedience of Miss Lingxiao, she shouted loudly, and was pushed into the lake by the gangsters. Only then did Captain Fluorescent get the news and save me and Cuizhu. General Xiaohou doesn't blame Captain Yuwen for having nothing to do with him. ”
At this time, only Cuizhu, who was standing beside him in a daze, knew that Ling Xiao was pushed down by Mo Chang as he watched. Mo Chang didn't want to escape, so he used this method to attract people's attention.
"Well," Hou Cong said, "what about Miss Lingxiao?" Did you save it? ”
Mo Chang shook his head blankly, and there was a tear in the corner of his eye.
"Got it. She's our country's girl, and we'll cook. ”
Princess Yanyang's subordinates are busy chasing down the "villains" everywhere. And the people who feasted on the thin waist lake that night, there were many rich families and high-ranking officials, and they all knew that the current guests of "Yunshang" were princesses and princes. And after the prince returned, he showed his face at the city gate, and now, it is a good thing to be able to come out to the banquet, but he was held hostage by "bad people" and a maid died.
In this way, when Hou Cong came back, not to mention on the lake, even in the large and small teahouses and restaurants on the lakeside, this matter was spread all over the place, and the officials and nobles who arrived all over the country flocked to it, either on the boat or on the shore, and expressed their condolences to the prince and princess.
Princess Yanyang had a cold face and said, "Don't gather people, it will affect the arrest of my subordinates." But for a while, there was no one to command, and the number of onlookers not only did not disperse, but more and more. Because it included the families of dignitaries and nobles, the voices that lamented Hou Cong's beauty also rose one after another, and the princess was proud for a while, so she didn't care anymore.
Mo Chang's face was sad but not sad, he was not afraid of danger, his demeanor and posture were like the water of the thin waist lake, he leaned on the railing of the boat, raised his voice, and bowed his hand to salute everyone, "I have returned, I have been cared for and supported by the emperor and the princess day and night, and I am heavy, you don't have to worry." As for the attack, I am afraid that I don't know my identity, so I caught up with me to change my clothes, thinking that it was just to take hostages in exchange for ransom. Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. ”
The crowd didn't know who it was, and shouted, "Has Your Highness ever entered the palace to meet Your Majesty?" ”
Here's your chance.
Steady and even hypocritical as Mo Chang, he was also a little excited at this time, and the first word he opened his mouth to answer was even a little trembling, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and has not had the opportunity to meet yet." Therefore, I also have something to ask you for. ”
With Mo Yanyang's political simplicity, he doesn't know how sensitive and taboo everything that is happening at this moment is. A former crown prince is about to speak up and try to exert influence.
She just looked at Hou Cong, her heart was extremely joyful, and it was barren.
As for Qin Xian, He Bachun and Chun Yuren, this was also the opportunity they were looking forward to.
Mo Chang's breath has stabilized, and no more or no less brings out the character and emotions of forbearance, perseverance, fairness, and loyalty, "The country is unstable without a prince." Because of my loss, the things that once made my country anxious have never gone away. Now, after the emperor ascended the throne, he has not been careful and pure, calm and moderate, and his character is valuable, and he is worthy of a great responsibility. Please! At that time, our brothers and nephews were probably able to spend two full moons, without any suspicions, and share the family. Please! ”
Mo Chang said and bowed a few times.
I couldn't tell whose voice it was, and they all said, "Your Highness, rest assured." ”
Mo Chang stopped, smiled and waved his hand, and returned to the cabin.
Changkong's face was even colder than Hou Cong's, and it seemed that only Cuizhu looked at him and understood each other.
Chun Yuren reminded Princess Yanyang that the wine was cold, and it was better twice. The big boat started anew, the moonlight was shining, and the lake was shining, Hou Cong toasted Mo Chang, "We have fulfilled the contract." ”
Mo Chang drank the wine in the toast, "Don't forget until you die." ”
"Yunshang" is like a glowing cloud, floating across the lake and in the eyes of other passenger ships. The song began to sing again, as if nothing had happened.
When he was a child, under the heavy escort, the princes and princesses returned to the princess's mansion. Hou Cong deliberately comforted Yanyang, "I'm also frightened at night, rest early." Just this sentence was enough for her to relive it again and again until the second half of the night.
Hou Cong didn't even say a good night to Mo Chang, and directly entered Yuwen Changkong's room.
"Get down on your knees."
Yuwen Changkong didn't argue anything, and knelt on the floor on both knees.
Hou Cong found a chair and sat down, not knowing what to say for a while.
"You know, I'll kill enough of what I did tonight."
Changkong looked at him stubbornly, "I know. After I got to know each other, I did enough to kill ten times. What kind of thing? Stinky monkeys, dead bastards. From the very beginning, I didn't obey my sister and looked down on our Yuwen family. From the very beginning, I conspired with Emperor Lao'er to send my sister to death, and I had to make sure that she was not impossible. This conscienceless, fool, bastard, stinky monkey, stinking! ”
Hou Cong didn't respond to a word, and waited quietly for Changkong to finish. He let out a long breath, "Perhaps." My feelings for Bai Yi are not as pure as being a brother. ”
Changkong also shut up, because he was too aggrieved and missed his sister, he covered his face with his sleeves, whimpered and cried.
Hou Cong waited for him to cry vigorously before scolding, "Don't be disgusting, get up." ”
Changkong stopped crying, but he kept his head down and still knelt.
Hou Cong sniffed, "Don't tell me about Da Mao's return." ”
"Ah Zheng'a didn't say anything, why didn't you scold them?"
Hou Cong cried and laughed, feeling tired and didn't want to pursue it anymore, he got up, walked out of the door, and left a sentence, "This matter, for the sake of the white clothes, is considered to be in the past." If there is any small action, it will be done officially. ”
Changkong has been kneeling on the ground, blaming himself for being inconsiderate and not planning secrets - how could it be possible to let Mo Chang give up the throne!
If the floor is a mirror, it will definitely reflect Yuwen Changkong's somewhat distorted and ruthless face at this moment-"Mo Chang, if you don't take a way to live, then, let's die early." If I die in person, my sister won't have to take my place. Substitute death? What the is this idea! Are you kidding! I'm going to get her back, and I'm going to take her back to the north, and never to go back to this place of death." ”
The next day was the day when Princess Yanyang and Hou Cong agreed to go to death row to investigate. Changkong got up early, didn't even wait for his master, dressed up in flowers, and ran to say good morning to the princess.
