The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the cold mist is like a charm.

In the quiet Dingyuan Palace, only the lights in one room in the side courtyard were still on, and Bi Xiao checked and packed the medicinal materials sent by the pharmacy in the afternoon, and there were three knocks outside the house.

"Lord Wang?" opened the door and invited the king of Dingyuan, who was accidentally found, into the room, Bi Xiao moved the stool and served tea, and only after some tossing did he say in confusion, "The prince has something on his mind?" Look at you frowning all the time, as if you're bothered about something. ”

King Dingyuan was slightly stunned, realizing that his expression was too serious, so he hurriedly changed his face and stroked his beard and laughed a few times: "It's wrong, it's wrong, you shouldn't come over with a calm face, it's worried again, right?" Without waiting for Bi Xiao to answer, King Dingyuan gently patted the neatly wrapped medicinal materials on the table, and sighed in a low voice: "Bi Xiao, I have suffered you all these years, you are busy for Mo Hong but you don't even have an identity, it is this king who can't stand you." ”

"Where is the prince, it is my duty to take care of Mo Hong, as for the status and status, I don't care."

"Whether you care or not, you still have to have." King Dingyuan beckoned Bi Xiao to sit down, his eyes were full of kindness, "In the early years, this king still had the idea of finding another family for you, but seeing that you are infatuated with Mo Hong, it would be a sin to force you to marry someone else." Now that Mo Hong's illness has improved, the age of the two of you can't wait any longer, so this king ...... This king thinks, if you are willing, you will pick an auspicious day after the New Year to do the marriage between you and Mo Hong, what do you think? ”

The news came suddenly, Bi Xiao was stunned for a long time before she reacted, her beautiful eyes were red, she bit her thin lip and got up to salute: "Thank you for the success, Bi Xiao is willing to marry into the palace to take care of Mo Hong for the rest of his life, and he has no regrets." ”

One is a fairy jade bone, and the other is a paralyzed waste, how ridiculous is it to put such a pair with a huge gap together? Although Wen Mohong is his own flesh and blood, King Dingyuan still can't bear to see Bi Xiao buried in the life of serving the disabled husband for the rest of his life, so he delays it again and again and never mentions the marriage between the two; Now seeing Bi Xiao's grateful eyes, King Dingyuan suddenly understood that such a couple was inseparable, and only by letting them marry justifiably could they really think about them.

"Child, you know the situation in the house, this king can't take out a decent bride price for you, and Mo Hong can't even come to greet your relatives like this. After a few days, Moqing will come back, this king will go to Cangwu County on behalf of Moshu, and personally come to the door to propose to the owner of Qiulou, even if there are no gold and silver treasures, this king must let you marry in a beautiful way. ”

"I have been in the house for many years, and the prince has always treated me like a thousand gold, and I can marry Mo Hong, and Bi Xiao is satisfied and has nothing else to ask for." Rourou's eyes moved to the candlelight on the table, and Bi Xiao suddenly smiled gently, "In this way, there will be no obstacle to the marriage between senior brother and divorce." ”

King Dingyuan nodded, as if he was a little hesitant: "The matter of Miss Yan and Moqing has always been a little difficult for this king to decide, but it is not that he doesn't mind the identity of Miss Yan, but in this way, he will be wronged by Bisheng, and this king will inevitably not go." ”

Bi Sheng's behavior in the Junzi Building had already been informed by Mu Jiuge's letter, and Bi Xiao and King Dingyuan both knew that Wen Moqing had publicly announced the destruction of the marriage contract with Bi Sheng, although it was not unexpected, but it was not something that would be happy.

After pondering for a moment, Bi Xiao sighed lightly: "Bi Sheng's child is willful and good-looking, and she can't slow down for a while, but she has gone too far, even I can't forgive it." Feelings are a matter of two people, since the senior brother has no intention of Bisheng, he can't force the two to be together, compared to this, I hope that the senior brother can finally become a family with the sorrow, the two of them have gone through the turmoil and treat each other sincerely, which Bisheng can't do anyway. If the prince minds the relationship between me and Bisheng, this can be assured. ”

Bi Xiao had already expressed his attitude, and King Dingyuan didn't say anything anymore, and he didn't know what he thought of for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "That girl is not bad, but it's a pity that her life experience is difficult to understand, if not, the second prince will miss her." ”

Bi Xiao was also a little dazed.

If Wen Jingyuan hadn't intervened to stop it, probably Yan Liwu would have married Wen Moshu a long time ago, right? There will be no free couple who only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. The world is impermanent, who can predict how feelings and hearts change? It's as if she never thought that her sister, who was closest to her, would do such a despicable thing.

Fortunately, after the wind and rain, what I hope for is a clear sky.

Different from the sunny days of Dingyuan County, the autumn nights of the imperial capital Fengluo City are often accompanied by silent drizzle, which the people call "autumn fall". This year, there was a great drought, and the rain in late autumn seemed to be trying to compensate for it, and the young men who liked to swim at night sighed.

"Fourth brother, you can play a few games with us! The second brother hasn't seen anyone for many days, and you live outside the palace and don't come and go often, and several of us are about to suffocate! ”

Because it began to rain again at dusk, several princes who were too playful were trapped in the palace and had nowhere to go, and they heard that Wen Jingyuan summoned Wen Mozheng into the palace and ran to wait outside the imperial study together, and they had to take Wen Mozheng to play a few games of wine licenses.

In fact, Wen Mozheng was willing to play with these younger brothers before, he was never Wen Moshu's quiet and steady person, but now that he has become a family, his heart is almost tied to Tang Jinyi, so he naturally restrains his playfulness and no longer covets it, and he will leave after repeated pushbacks.

"The prince just came out of the imperial study?" Yun Jiuzhong, who came out of nowhere, greeted Wen Mozheng. Wen Mozheng nodded in response, Yun Jiuzhong beckoned people to the side, and said in a mysterious and secret voice, "The emperor summoned the prince here to discuss the alliance between Hostu and other countries?" ”

Wen Mozheng was at a loss: "What alliance?" My father called me because he wanted me to investigate the case of a member of the household department, Wailang, who had a private relationship with a magistrate, and did not mention anything else. What, General Yun, did you hear any rumors? ”

"Where is the rumor, this matter has been determined to be not groundless, I rushed over from the barracks to talk to a few generals about this matter!"

Wen Mozheng is not familiar with Yun Jiuzhong, but he is not a stranger, he knows that his style is decent and prudent, and he will never joke about this kind of thing, so his heart tightened, and he asked repeatedly: "General Yun, tell me quickly, what's going on?" With whom is the Kingdom of Hostur allied? ”

"Who else? Naturally, it is the Fox Hill Kingdom and the Nanqing Kingdom that came to the same envoy! Yun Jiu snorted angrily, "Nan Qingguo, after all, it's my Dayuan who is at fault first, but what kind of fun are they in the Fox Hill Country?" When they asked the princess to marry, they themselves refused, and my Dayuan has done its best. It's good now, these two small countries in the land of projectiles saw that Hothdu was strong and ran to form an alliance, do you really think that my Dayuan is easy to bully, and I don't dare to send troops when I see them in cahoots with foreign races? How unreasonable! ”

Wen Mozheng tilted his head and thought about it, and he was also puzzled: "Nanqing borders on Hosdu, and I have some understanding of the strength of Hosdu, plus the matter of the princess Nanqing before is our great abyss, and they are not in alliance with Hosdu." When the envoy of the Five Kingdoms faced the saint, I saw that the king of Fox Hill was also a shrewd and capable person, and Fox Hill, as a weak country that had never had contact with Hosdu, should he not think that an alliance with Hostur was a good way out, right? I can't figure this out for a while, so I'll go back and ask if there's—"

Halfway through his words, Wen Mozheng paused abruptly.

Jun Wunian hasn't returned for many days, how can you ask?

Yun Jiuzhong didn't seem to see that Wen Mozheng lost his mind for a moment, and hurriedly said goodbye and left in a hurry, but he did not return to the Xuanwu camp directly, but after going around the palace for most of the circle, he quietly sneaked into the Tianque Hall from the inaccessible path.

In the study room with a small stove, Wen Mo was looking through ancient books in a thick coat, and when Yun Jiuzhong came in, there was a cool breeze, and Wen Mo tightened his collar and coughed lightly.

"General Yun has seen Mo Zheng?"

Yun Jiu nodded emphatically and carefully closed the door: "Sure enough, as His Highness said, the four princes did not know about the alliance between the Hosturf Kingdom and other countries, and the emperor did not reveal the slightest rumor at all. In addition, the fourth prince was obviously a little distracted when he mentioned Boss Jun, looking at that appearance, Xu was really in conflict with Boss Jun. ”

"It's a good thing and a bad thing that Mo Zheng doesn't know, on the bright side, his father may not convey the news because he feels that these things have nothing to do with Mo Zheng, and he is not suspicious of him; On the bad side, Mo Zheng still doesn't know about the news that was made public when he was in the court, which shows that he has been slacking off a lot recently, and it is easy for people with bad intentions to take advantage of loopholes, especially when Boss Jun is not there. Wen Moshu put down the scroll, and his slightly delicate eyebrows showed a bit of sickness.

Yun Jiuzhong was a little unimpressed by Wen Moshu's worries: "Before Boss Jun left, he only asked His Highness to take care of the four princes, why did His Highness think about it so much?" The four princes are young and immature, and even a loyal strategist like the boss of the monarch who selflessly assists him does not know how to cherish it. ”

"The brotherhood is still there, and Mo Zheng didn't deliberately get angry with Boss Jun, since Boss Jun came to please, he can't ignore it." Seeing that Yun Jiuzhong was still dissatisfied, Wen Moshu smiled helplessly: "I know, I promise, when Boss Jun comes back, he won't be distracted from Mo Zheng's affairs, so it's okay, right?" By the way, is there any progress in the affairs of the Hosdu Kingdom and the Fox Hill and Nanqing Alliance? Does the emperor decide to send someone or a letter to inquire? ”

Knowing that Wen Moshu would never be able to let go of his younger brother, Yun Jiuzhong gave up persuasion, muttered for a while, and his face was slightly solemn: "The emperor is still the same, and he began to be impatient after saying a few words, although he did not hand over the matter to Prime Minister Lian under the opposition of the courtiers, he did not take it seriously, at least so far, the emperor has no intention of questioning Huo Sidu or the other two countries." ”

"The Nanqing Kingdom and the Fox Hill Kingdom have officially sent envoys to visit the Masters of Hosdu, and if they don't take action to restrict them at this time, I'm afraid that it won't be long before other small countries in Zhongzhou will follow suit, and then my Dayuan will become an isolated and helpless power in the land of Zhongzhou."

The sensitive Wen Moshu smelled danger from the sudden bad news, and was eager to tell the bad guess in his heart to discuss with whom, but after talking to himself, he found that except for Yun Jiuzhong, who was not good at scheming, how could anyone else here talk about important things?

Looking at the hot and burning charcoal, all Wen Moshu could do was let out a short sigh.

Whether it's a counselor or a person you like, do you have to feel lonely when you're not there?
