Chapter XXIII

Xiao Mo went to Zhaocheng, and the happiest was Xiao Wei, who went to the queen's palace early in the morning to say hello to the queen.

"Queen Mother, Xiao Mo is here, it's an opportunity."

"Although the plague is dangerous, there are also accidents, and we must be foolproof." The queen retreated from the palace maids, walked to Xiao Wei's side, and said seriously: "Now, your father is old, if you can't bring down Xiao Mo, I am afraid it will become a big disaster." ”

"Then you can't get him back." Xiao Wei's eyes were full of killing intent.

"The Queen Mother has already sent a letter to Yeda of the Heavenly Wolf Department, and he will go to Zhaocheng in person."

"The queen mother is wise, but I'm afraid there will be mistakes." Xiao Wei has been fighting with Xiao Mo for many years, and he knows his details well, but he is still skeptical of Yeda.

"Yesterday, Wuwu came to ask for peace, I gave her a few letters, if there is a letter from the Heavenly Wolf Department in King Heng's mansion, do you think the emperor will let him go?" A sinister smile appeared on the queen's beautiful face.

Xiao Wei was stunned, hesitated, and said: "If this is the case, Xiao Mo will definitely be able to bring down Xiao Mo, but Wuwu is the daughter of her uncle, so wouldn't she want to implicate us here." ”

"Don't worry, the worst result is to keep your uncle away from the court temporarily, on another day, you will ascend the throne, and then recall it, as for Wuwu, she is just the second daughter of the clan, even if she is implicated, it doesn't matter." In the eyes of the queen, Liu Wuwu is a chess piece, if it is useless, there is no need to exist.

The two looked at each other and smiled, this time, King Heng's Mansion was afraid that it would be more than lucky.

On this day, Xia Man was cleaning in Yiyun Palace, and Liu Wuwu came for the first time.

"The prince is not here, but you are diligent." Liu Wuwu was supported by the maidservant and sat next to the desk where Xiao Mo usually danced and wrote.

"See the princess." Xia Man saluted her, and then stood aside, waiting for orders.

Liu Wuwu looked around, Yi Yun Hall was her first time coming, usually Xiao Mo had orders, others were not allowed to enter Yi Yun Palace, but now looking at Xia Man here from time to time, her heart was a little sour. "When you have been in the palace for a long time, you have never left the palace to talk to your family."

"Back to the princess, the slave and maid have both parents died since they were young, and they have the mercy of the prince, and they are fortunate to be sprinkled and served in the palace." Xia Man lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, learning from the other maidservants, and responding respectfully.

Looking at Xia Man's appearance, like an ordinary slave maid, he was submissive, he was really unpleasant, shook his head, and said, "That's it, you can continue." With that, he left Yiyun Palace.

Watching Liu Wuwu disappear outside the hall, Xia Man became alert, closed the door of the hall, carefully inspected the hall, about a stick of incense, only to find that there was a rare paper in the gap between the wooden boards under the case, Xia Man carefully pulled out the paper, looked at the words on it, frightened his back was covered with fine sweat, drank a sip of cold tea, and then eased up, sat on the ground, held the paper tightly in his hand, closed his eyes, and gasped for breath.

After calming down a little, Xia Man sat in front of the desk, flattened the paper, pressed it with an inkstone, and took the paper with dark lines of dragon scales, picked up the pen, imitated the handwriting on the paper, and transcribed it word by word.

Xiao Mo had been in Zhaocheng for three days, and first ordered the dead to be buried in a deep pit and sprinkled with lime and herbs to prevent the plague from raging again, and the living were treated separately depending on the severity of the disease, so that the plague was alleviated.

"Lord Yu, all the Lang Zhong recruited from the people have now arrived in the Yanei." The officials of Zhaocheng County all admired Xiao Mo, and some young officials secretly swore that when the plague was over, they would follow Xiao Mo in order to fulfill their ambitions.

"Ask them to immediately carry out treatment, and if the herbs are not enough, they will mobilize them from the surrounding county offices." Xiao Mo's face was a little tired, he hadn't slept a full sleep in the three days he came, and he was always worried about the casualties in the city.

"Yes." Wu Jin, the garrison of Zhaocheng, has been by Xiao Mo's side for the past few days, and he has not slept endlessly, and his spirit is very poor.

Xiao Mo saw that Wu Jin didn't move, and he looked hesitant, so he asked, "Is there anything difficult?"

"King Heng forgives his sins, and the officials have something to do."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Yesterday, a guy came to the county office, and his appearance was suspicious, and he seemed to have something abnormal."

"If there's anything wrong, let's hear about it."

"That day, when Xia Guan passed by the back kitchen, he saw that this guy seemed to add something to your meal, so he made people pay attention, and found that he always went out in the middle of the night and returned early in the morning." Wu Jin was already clever, and as soon as he found out about this, he paid attention to it, and quietly changed the meal that was manipulated, but this guy became even more serious, and today he actually put something in the water tank, which made him feel that the matter was not simple, so he came to report the matter to King Heng.

Hearing this, Xiao Mo sneered: "Probably someone wants the life of this king." ”

"And what to do with this person?"

"Don't alarm him yet, keep an eye on him, and make sure you find out his identity."

"Yes, the next official will retire."

Xiao Mo looked at the low-hanging sky outside, afraid that it was going to rain.

Half a month later, the plague in Zhaocheng was controlled, but Xiao Mo suddenly became ill, the symptoms were similar to the plague, and he had been placed in the county government to make every effort to treat it, the news was transmitted back to Yecheng in less than half a day, Xiao Wei heard the news, and immediately entered the palace, and after a while, an imperial city guard army raided the Hengwang Mansion with a holy decree.

The Praetorian Guards were resolute and went straight to Yiyun Palace, and in less than a cup of tea, they found out the evidence of Xiao Mo's treason with the enemy, and the Guangsheng Emperor was furious, and ordered the Hengwang Mansion to be sealed, and the Hengwang Mansion was immediately escorted back to the court, and all the people in the Hengwang Mansion were imprisoned, and for a while, the news spread all over the city.

"What did you say!" Xiao Xun heard the butler's report, the teacup in his hand shattered, and without waiting for the butler to respond, he rode to the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the palace, he was stopped by the eunuchs beside the Guangsheng Emperor, "The emperor has an order, I don't see anyone, King Qi, please go back." ”

Xiao Xun's chest continued to rise and fall, and he remembered the will of 'no soldiers to send', he was so disappointed in his father that he no longer wanted his will, turned around and went out of the palace and found Qianying.

"What now?" Xiao Xun ran back and forth, his face covered with sweat and anxiety.

"Don't panic, Xiao Mo has his own ideas." Qianying trusts him very much, if this crisis can't be overcome, then he is not his senior brother.

"Everyone in King Heng's Mansion has been imprisoned, and the third brother is also seriously ill, so why not be in a hurry."

"Just watch, this time, I don't know who is unlucky." Qianying patted Xiao Xun's shoulder and said, "Let's wait and see." ”

"Ugh." Xiao Xun sighed, he really couldn't calm down, how could he understate such a big matter, it really didn't work, he could only mobilize the army on the border to fight to the death.
