Chapter 060: Quid pro quo
Wen Moshu ignored Wen Moqing's attitude of resistance, and when he became serious, he actually had seven points of courage: "Everyone knows the identity of Miss Yan, and there is no need to hide some words." Mo Zheng and Shizi might as well talk about your purpose, is it simply to track down the life of King Qinglian, or do you have other plans? β
Wen Moqing raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yan Liwu, and her questioning look was impressive.
The loss of the jade seal of the country is very important, it stands to reason that Wen Jingyuan should not mention it to a third party, Wen Moqing is still not sure whether Wen Moshu and Wen Mozheng know at this time, but listening to Wen Moshu's words, it is inevitable to worry about whether he has told others about it.
"The prince said that Miss Yan was robbed halfway back to the imperial capital, and soon after Miss Yan appeared in the palace with Mo Zheng, who robbed it is obvious, if you go along with the ideal, you will naturally guess what you are fighting for - not Miss Yan herself, or some secrets that she may lead to." Wen Moshu saw that Yan Liwu was innocent and was under suspicion, so he stood up quietly to isolate Wen Moqing's sight, like a thick city wall to build a barrier for Yan Liwu.
Wen Moshu can be quiet, but some people can't. Listening to the conversation between the two talking about the secret, Wen Mozheng soon couldn't sit still, became more and more cramped and uneasy, and his tone was a little panicked: "Wu Nian didn't take Miss Yan in Northern Xinjiang out of malice, and Miss Yan also nodded and agreed, as for the matter of finding the whereabouts of the jade seal, we didn't-"
"Lord, lord, let's go home, let's go home......" The owner of Xiaozhu didn't have time to express any opinions, and some things had already been pointed out. Jun Wunian rubbed his swollen forehead and smiled bitterly again and again, and a sense of powerlessness spread all over his body.
Wen Mozheng was shocked by Jun Wunian alone? Wen Moshu and Chu Ci looked at each other and shook their heads silently, while Wen Moqing maintained a sneer, not forgetting to glance at Yan Xiang coldly.
"It turned out to be a jade seal...... Now that it's been said, the son of the world doesn't need to hide it anymore, right? After a light cough, Wen Mo let out a long breath, "I felt strange that the emperor didn't show the jade seal when he succeeded to the throne, and now I understand that the 'Qinglian King' can live until now, maybe it is because of the blessing of the jade seal." β
"Because the jade seal was lost, Miss Yan became a clue that both the King of Cijun and the emperor wanted, after all, the person who is most likely to steal the seal of the king of a country is none other than King Qinglian."
After Chu Ci lazily summarized, Xiao Zhu fell silent for a while.
Except for Wen Mozheng, all of those present have smart heads, and the importance of jade seals is self-evident. If you go deeper, the first person to find the jade seal will have more confidence, compete for status, or keep the throne.
The first person to break the silence was still Chu Ci, a pair of flowing eyes swept over everyone's different expressions, and the thin lip line outlined a graceful arc: "Frankly speaking, at present, the prince and I are on the side of King Cijun, and I don't want the emperor to get the jade seal and sit firmly on the throne - don't rush to scold me against my will, calm down and think about it, is the current emperor really qualified to continue to be in charge of the Yuan Kingdom?" β
Wen Mozheng took a deep breath, and after the panic, his heart was hot, completely ignoring Jun Wunian's frequent eyes, and became more and more impassioned: "Yes, that's what I thought!" In the past few months, locust plagues have been rampant in southern states and counties, and frequent showers have occurred in the west, and tens of thousands of displaced people have poured into the imperial capital for survival, and many people have starved to death on the way. They are all the people of my Great Abyss, and they are of the same blood, but when they were suffering and in dire straits, what did the emperor do? is either busy deposing dissident courtiers or busy winning over people's hearts, and even lingers in the harem to warm the tent, night and night spring supper, and doesn't care about the life or death of the people! β
"Lord Wang." Jun Wunian was pushed away by Wen Mozheng angrily before he opened his mouth to stop him, and he could only sigh faintly, helplessly closing his eyes and bowing his head.
"The world is the world of the people, if you can't let the people live and work in peace and contentment, then you are not qualified to sit on the throne and enjoy the glory, the first emperor is like this, and the same is true of the saints today." After a burst of angry cheers, Wen Mozheng was exhausted, his body trembled slightly, and his voice suddenly lowered, "I don't have to be the emperor, I just want to recover the jade seal just to give the emperor a wake-up call, if the emperor still refuses to repent, then I can only be a rebel and a thief - the world should be a virtuous person to live in, who can make the people healthy and happy, I Wen Mo is willing to give the jade seal and the throne to the hand, and I will be a minister!" β
The words were stunned.
It's just to discuss how to deal with her, but I didn't expect to lead to such rebellious remarks, if it is heard by outsiders, Wen Mozheng's head will definitely not be guaranteed. However, she was surprised and a little moved, she had seen Wen Mozheng's upright and simple before, but she never expected that he wanted to track down Yuxi and fight against Wen Jingyuan, but it was for the sake of the people of Limin.
Should such a person be called too stupid and stupid, or should he be called too pure and flawless?
Silently walked from the corner to the center of the room, Yan Liwu and Wen Moshu stood side by side, raised their breath, and looked at Wen Moqing firmly: "I'm also standing here." β
In fact, at that moment, she was very worried, she didn't know if Wen Moqing would hate her because of this, so that she destroyed all the trust that she had gained after a long time together, but she couldn't convince herself not to help Wen Moshu and Wen Mozheng, especially after experiencing Gujia Village, she always felt that she owed something and should be repaid in the end.
In the midst of the restlessness, the back of the hand suddenly warmed and wrapped softly.
The side eyes are warm and sparse to encourage a shallow smile, and the eyes are gentle, like a spring breeze that cannot be dissolved, and tenderness is like water.
Yan Liwu withdrew his hand and bowed his head in a hurry, just missing the eyes cast by Wen Moqing, so he naturally couldn't see his sudden dissipation of anger and helplessness. For a long time, Wen Moqing turned the hilt of his sword, and a slight sound was enough to shatter the frozen silence.
"When did I say that the jade seal was to be handed over to the emperor?"
"Huh?" Almost at the same time, Yan Liwu and Wen Mozheng were stunned.
Chu Ci stopped playing with the flute in his hand, and finally showed some interest in his casual expression: "If you don't hand it over to the emperor, do you plan to keep it yourself?" β
"What is left for him? I'm not a person who is attached to a position of power, of course, I sell my favor to the right person. Wen Moqing was finally willing to leave from the window, holding a folded note between his fingers and pressing it on the table, "What I want to track down is the identity of the Qinglian King, the jade seal is just looking for it by the way, if you can find it, it doesn't matter which of the two of you takes it." Seeing Wen Mozheng's expression change from stunned to happy, Wen Moqing poured cold water on the right time: "What are you laughing at?" I haven't said the conditions yet. β
Wen Mozheng was like a child, and in a blink of an eye, he looked depressed: "What conditions?" You say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best. β
Turning his head to look at Wen Moshu, who had no objection, Wen Moqing withdrew his hand and only left the note on the table: "This piece of paper has written the clues I have so far, and I only have two conditions." First, tell me all the clues you have, and think it is a cooperation in the search for the jade seal; Secondβ"
Wen Moqing raised his hand and suddenly pulled Yan Liwu from Wen Moshu's side to himself.
"She has to come with me."
Everyone here knows that Wen Moqing is very good at kung fu, and no one will be stupid enough to fight him, although Wen Moshu wanted to rush up for a moment to hold Yan Liwu, he finally endured it.
Patience is endurance, but Wen Moshu's face is not very good-looking: "I said, Miss Yan is not the King of Qinglian, she doesn't need to take responsibility that doesn't belong to her." If she doesn't want to come back to you, I'll do everything I can to protect her, whatever it takes. β
"What do you mean by doing whatever it takes? What do you have to give up? Wen Moqing's face was cold, ignoring Wen Moshu's threat, and still clutching Yan Liwu's slender wrist and refusing to let go.
Xu is anger stirred up the breath in his chest, and Wen Moshu began to cough violently, unable to even say a complete sentence. Yan Li saw that he couldn't stand up straight, and almost subconsciously shook off Wen Moqing, and the painful hand gently stroked Wen Moshu's back, gritting his teeth and glaring at the culprit: "What are you doing so aggressively?" No one owes you! β
"No one owes me but you." The long ink-colored sleeves brushed over the table, and the folded note was put back into the warm ink fingers. Yan Li's rebuke seemed to annoy Wen Moqing, and he turned around and walked neatly, leaving only a completely non-negotiable sentence: "Agree or not, consider for yourself, and I will listen to the results tomorrow." β
After Wen Moqing left for a long time, Wen Moshu's coughing gradually stopped, and Jun Wunian couldn't bear to pour a cup of tea and handed it over, but was pushed away by Chu Ci.
"Boss Jun and King Cijun should also think about it, and I will come back with the prince after retiring from the court tomorrow. Miss Yan, let's go. β
A rare negotiation broke up unhappily, and the most depressed thing was not Wen Moshu or Wen Mozheng, let alone an indifferent expression, but a worry. followed Chu Ci and helped Wen Moshu back to the palace, and he didn't say a word along the way, biting deep tooth marks on his lips.
"Miss Yan, are you willing to go with the prince of Dingyuan?" When he was about to reach the door of the side hall, Wen Moshu suddenly stopped, his pale cheeks faced Yan Li, who was hanging his head, and his gentle tone was as always, "If you don't want to, I will try my best to protect you from being implicated, anyway, the jade seal has no meaning to me, it doesn't matter if he gives it or not." β
Chu Ci, who was walking in front, moved his ears slightly, did not interject, but deliberately slowed down his walking speed.
"I don't understand the general trend of the world, and I don't care who is the emperor, but this time I have to help Wen Moqing, not only to repay him for letting me live, but also to live up to me and Sister Bixi."
There was silence for a while, and then Wen Moshu asked hesitantly and cautiously: "That...... Will you ever come back? I mean, back to the imperial capital. β
"Then it depends on whether the emperor has a place for me." Yan Liwu raised his head, and a bright smile appeared on his simple face, "The patient has not been cured yet, how can the doctor let it go?" Unless the prince plans to change to a doctor. β
Wen Moshu looked at Yan Liwu's bright eyes and was slightly stunned, and then he was relieved, and chuckled: "Yes, yes, I forgot, Miss Yan is now my honored guest, the No. 1 goddess doctor in Tianzi." In this case, I will make room for Miss Yan in the house, and when Miss Yan returns, she will still go to my house to hang a pot to help the world. β
After a lot of talking, the left and right are just a matter of going and staying, and the future is uncertain. Chu Ci was slightly disappointed, raised his feet and was about to step into the room, but Wen Moshu's extraordinarily gentle whisper came from behind him.
"If Miss Yan is willing, it doesn't matter if she lives in the house for the rest of her life, I ...... It will be a pleasure. β
