Qi Ruo woke up the evening of the second day.

Her mind was still a little unconscious, and she looked at the bed tent in a daze, not knowing whether she was in a dream or really alive, and she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Qi Mo had been staying by her side, and when he saw her wake up, he was overjoyed, and leaned forward and hugged the person into his arms.

"Daughter-in-law, you're scared to death. Anyway, the fever is gone, what if you have a case, what should I do? ”

After a while, Qi Ruo felt a wetness in his neck socket, and the person who took him into his arms cried.

She was also very uncomfortable, and she also reached out to hug the person back, but at this time, the person buried in her neck came with a word, and her voice was muffled.

"You...... Are you planning to die......

Qi Ruo subconsciously wanted to deny it, but was stopped by Qi Mo who got up from him, those eyes were clearly still wet, but the sharpness in her eyes and the clarity of knowing everything made her dare not say a word.

Qi Mo mourned in his heart, and asked in a dumb voice, "Why?" Just because you don't want to drag me down? Or something else? ”

It's no wonder that he thinks like this, it's really because he cares too much about Qi Ruo, and the look in her eyes when she jumped off the city tower, as well as the sentence "I'm sorry", made him have to think more.

He felt as if this scene had played out in her mind countless times, and it was only at that moment that she had made such an extreme decision.

Clear...... It is clear that Prince Ren was already injured at that time, as long as he delayed it a little longer, and if he delayed it a little longer, he would have a chance, not to mention that the overall situation had been decided at that time, and it would not threaten the safety of the people in Yuanjing City.

He's not a fool and sees clearly.

But where would Qi Ruo tell him? And where dare you tell him? only said: "Nothing else, I just want to end this confrontation, this senseless confrontation, I just thought, I can't drag you down, not to mention that Prince Ren's soldiers and horses are still on the way, what if he can really support it until then?" Will there be more people who will sacrifice meaninglessly? ”

Qi Mo was half incredulous, and wanted to ask again, but Qi Ruo diverted the conversation.

"What happened to Prince Ren's remnants? I remember that Prince Ren only transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison outside the capital of Yuanjing at that time, and there were still 20,000 soldiers and horses on the road, but it could be solved? ”

Qi Mo looked at her for a while, and finally sighed and replied: "It's solved, it's all sincere." ”

Qi Ruo nodded and didn't speak anymore, and Qi Mo didn't know how to make her open her heart knot, so he just lay beside Qi Ruo like a big dog and accompanied her, and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, Qi Ruocai said tentatively: "There is chaos here, there must be a lot of things that need to be dealt with in the aftermath, you go and get busy with yours, I have Xia He and Qiu Ju to take care of me here." ”

She reached out and touched the stubble that Qi Mo had grown in the past two days, and coaxed, "Clean up first." Our grandfather is the most handsome and chic, and if he goes out and is seen, he is afraid that he will be laughed at by many people. ”

"I can't bear it." Qi Mo shrank into Qi Ruo's arms, rubbed her like a big dog, and said pitifully, "I just want to guard my daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that you won't be there again in the blink of an eye." ”

Hearing this, Qi Ruo's heart twitched, and she couldn't bear him.

She only felt that her eyes were sore, and something in her body was about to rush up, and she was forced to press it down.

"Are you a little doll? As much as I coquettish with me, I don't have a woman like you, I'm so lost. ”

Qi Mo hugged Qi Ruo's hand a little harder: "That's not it, I have to rely on my daughter-in-law so well, a coquettish man is the best!" I don't want to pretend to be my best coaxing like I'm outside. ”

Qi Ruo couldn't help laughing, and reached out and pulled his cheek again.

"Okay, I'll be spoiled for you."

Qi Mo also knew that Qi Ruo's body was not very good, and he couldn't afford to make trouble, so he had a little more warmth with her, so he went out to pick up himself, and when he was done, he found Xia He and Qiu Ju.

He sat on top and coldly glanced at the two kneeling on the ground.

"How long have you been here?"

Xia He replied respectfully: "The slave maid and Qiu Ju have entered the mansion together, and they have been in the mansion for ten years, and they have only been in the mansion for a year before they come to serve the grandfather of the country." ”

There was no smile in Qi Mo's eyes: "Then let's talk about it, what happened to Madame recently, why is she like this?" Don't try to hide it from me, I know if you're lying or not! ”

Qiu Ju was not as stable as Xia He, so she peeked at Xia He at the moment, wanting to see what she meant, but she was unexpectedly ordered by Qi Mo.

"Qiu Ju, come on."

"Slave maid...... Slaves...... The slave and the maid did not know very well, so they were ...... Maybe it's because of Miss Ruan Yu's going......"

Qi Mo was shocked: "Ruan Yu...... Go? ”

Qiu Ju nodded hurriedly: "Madame is so sad, there was a big fuss in Zhao Mansion at that time, if it wasn't for the situation not allowing it, I'm afraid that Madame would have gone to the palace to sue the emperor earlier." ”

It's no wonder that Qi Mo doesn't know.

In the past two days, he has been worried about Qi Ruo's affairs, and no one dares to say this in front of him; Two days ago, he corresponded with Ruan Chen, who was worried about the current situation and couldn't use this matter to disturb him; As for the eyeliner next to him, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it at that juncture.

Qi Mo probably knew where the sadness and despair that had lingered on Qi Ruo's body for a long time came from.

He was a little scared, would Qi Ruo leave him because of this? Because I saw through Yuanjing, it was actually a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones.

No, no, his daughter-in-law is not such a person, his daughter-in-law is the most courageous, even in the face of thousands of difficulties, she must walk side by side with him, and even block the wind and waves for him.

Also, they are hiding some things from themselves.

"What else?"

Qiu Ju was even more at a loss for Qi Mo's sharp eyes, but Xia He was relieved.

I saw her leaning down and kowtowing to confess: "Please forgive Grandpa Guo, the slave maid and Qiu Ju have promised Mrs. not to say it, and Mrs. has also said it, and I will tell you in person when the time comes." ”

Qi Mo looked coldly at Xia He, who was kneeling on the ground: "You are smart." ”

She knew that as long as she moved out, Qi Ruo would definitely not ask too much.

"Well, get up, I want you to be so loyal to Madame for so much hereafter. Of course, if Madame does something unsober and endangers herself, but you help her hide it, I will not spare you. Remember? ”

"Yes."

Xia He and Qiu Ju replied in unison.

Since Xia He and Qiu Ju said that Qi Ruo had told them that she would tell herself in person, then he would wait, and now that the civil strife will be pacified, there are indeed many things to do, and he also has something to ask the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to detour with you more, don't you already know what you won't forget?"

Qi Mo went straight into it single-handedly, without giving the emperor a chance to play Tai Chi.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and after a long time, the emperor spoke: "I do know, but I only knew when he took the initiative to find me, but at that time, it was a critical moment to fight with Prince Ren, and I had to temporarily let go of this hatred, and I didn't tell you for fear that you would be impulsive." ”

Qi Mo suddenly understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

At that time, don't forget to find the emperor, saying that he wanted to surrender to sincerity and cooperate with them inside and outside, but who is the emperor? How can you easily believe it? He took the initiative to give this handle out, just to win the emperor's trust, which led to this union.

It's just that how can the emperor's mind technique be so simple?

Don't forget that he is a hero, the emperor will never order him to kill the hearts of the ministers, but a person like him, who works hard and has a deep city, can stir up the storm with his own strength, if he keeps him, it will be a scourge, and he will come in handy at this time.

If you know the truth, where will you let it go? Even though he guessed the emperor's calculation.

This is another plan of the emperor.

It's really an emperor's mental trick, and he knows the way of checks and balances!

He made a deep gesture: "Your Majesty Shengming, may Your Majesty Ze be born by the common people." When this is over, the minister will definitely give the military power with both hands. ”

Qi Mo is not naïve, they are no longer children, and some of them should be relieved after years of friendship.

Now that the emperor's biggest enemy in the court has been eliminated, and he has won the hearts of the people with a large number of cadres and heavy troops, I am afraid that he will become the emperor's confidant in the future.

Even though he has never been rebellious and has always stood on the emperor's side, not everyone thinks that way.

There is a good saying, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!

The age of singing together has passed.

Not to mention the unloading of the mill and the killing of donkeys, it is just the authority of the emperor, and the slightest threat is never allowed.

Qi Mo didn't blame the emperor, because his father's death was not caused by him, where could he blame him?

Besides, he doesn't have much ambition, and it's not bad to be an idle grandfather, so it's okay to take his daughter-in-law to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers, but it's also fast!

If a foreign enemy comes to attack, and this great country has a place for him, he can still go into battle without hesitation and lead his troops into battle.

The emperor opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

There are some things that don't need to be explained, and besides, he really wants to take back this military power, so he can't be mistaken in the calculations, let alone explain it.

This is the price for the emperor, he can't ask others to understand him, and others can't understand him.

The king, the only one!

After thinking about it, the emperor didn't move, just sat on the dragon chair and looked at Qi Mo quietly.

"Your Majesty, the minister will do as you wish." Qi Mo bowed, "Minister, retire." ”

The emperor didn't say anything from beginning to end, and at this time, he just waved his hand to let Qi Mo go.

It's just that he looked at his departing back, and couldn't help but flash in his mind scenes of the two of them laughing and playing in the past, at that time there was no identity barrier, everything was just a juvenile spirit, it was a lot of ambition, everything was vivid, as if it was yesterday.

In the end, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and before anyone stepped out of the door, he ordered: "Be clean, don't let people grab the handle." Also, there are some things that are good to talk about. ”

Qi Mo's heart jumped, he didn't understand what the emperor's last sentence meant, but now it was useless to say more, he thanked the emperor and left for the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion.
