Chapter 144: Extraneous Sounds
"Your Majesty!" The concubine sighed, "Although Mrs. Li Ji has selfish intentions, the mother believes that she will not dare to do such a rebellious thing, and that bowl of soup and medicine will never be prepared by Mrs. Li Ji." ”
The chaotic mind of the concubine was clearer, and she thought about the whole incident before and after, and found that there seemed to be something suspicious.
How could Mrs. Li Ji be so stupid as to get a bowl of soup and medicine to murder Sima Mo? Moreover, if she murdered Sima Mo, what benefits could Mrs. Li Ji get from it?
Hearing this, Sima Mo's dark eyes narrowed slightly, "The decoction is in her hand, I saw it with my own eyes, and I blame her for her bad luck!" ”
The concubine was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Sima Mo knew that Mrs. Li Ji was framed, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Li Ji is not guilty to death!" "After all, she was wronged.
"Even if she doesn't die, she can't gain a foothold in the harem!"
"In that case, let's spare her life!"
"Spare her life?"
"Your Majesty, all this is not entirely done by Mrs. Li Ji, that bowl of soup and medicine, I believe Your Majesty knows it."
Hearing this, Sima Mojian's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his thin lips were pursed.
"In her life, the mother concubine has never begged Your Majesty for anything, this time, the mother concubine put down her identity and only asked Your Majesty to spare Mrs. Li Ji's life."
The concubine couldn't bear it, after all, she was her niece, how could she not save her when she died?
"Your Majesty?"
Sima Mo's dark eyes narrowed slightly, for a long time, his thin lips opened lightly, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
The concubine was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Sima Mo had agreed, so she nodded, "As long as Your Majesty can spare her life, it will be enough." ”
"Today is the birthday of the mother, and I haven't given a congratulatory gift yet!" When the words fell, I saw Sima Mo take out a splendid box.
"This?"
Sima Mo opened the box and saw a picture scroll lying inside.
He took out the scroll, he opened it, and a woman dressed in a jade dress on the scroll immediately appeared in front of the concubine.
"What is this?" The concubine was stunned.
"I took a break in my busy time and made a portrait of my mother." After the words fell, he handed the scroll to the concubine, "Please also ask the concubine to smile." ”
The concubine took the scroll, but her hand trembled.
Looking at herself on the picture scroll, her dark eyes seemed to be dyed with a touch of moisture.
Sima Mo didn't like to paint since he was a child, but now he paints for her.
"Good!" The concubine nodded, "Well drawn, this is the best gift that the concubine has ever received in her life!" ”
She carefully put away the scroll as if she were holding a treasure.
Raising her eyes, she looked at Sima Mo. In a trance, Sima Mo's appearance seemed to have changed into the little boy who always loved to follow her back then.
It's just that time flies, and the little boy has grown up and has become the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom.
"Mother?" Sima Mo frowned.
The concubine came back to her senses and sighed secretly, "The concubine is old!" ”
Lately, she always likes to reminisce about the past.
"Not old!" Sima Mo said firmly, "In my mind, the mother concubine will always be the Li beauty who was like a mirror back then!" ”
The concubine raised a wry smile, "The concubine is indeed old!" Sighing lightly, "It's late at night, it's time for Your Majesty to go back and rest!" ”
Hearing this, Sima Mo nodded, got up, and prepared to leave, but he was only halfway there, but suddenly stopped.
"There's something I think it's time to tell my mother!"
The concubine was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know if the mother still remembers, Ming Liudong's words are in the novel Peach Blossom?"
Hearing this, the concubine raised her eyebrows, and then remembered the peach blossom book, "That story is too incredible, and the concubine can't forget it to this day." ”
In fact, the concubine is also a book lover, but she is not very keen on novels. However, Ming Liudong's words always give people a refreshing feeling in this novel, so the concubine Niangniang was also infatuated with for a while.
Fantastic?
Sima Mo savored the word, and the corners of his lips hooked up a cold smile.
At this moment, the candle flame on the table happened to be cast behind him, dyeing him with a lonely glow.
"I also think that story is too unbelievable, but what I didn't expect was that such an unbelievable story would happen to the woman I love!"
Hearing this, the concubine was taken aback, "Your Majesty...... What does this mean? ”
"The mother is a wise person, and she will understand what it means!" The words fell, and he walked away.
Until Sima Mo left, the concubine still couldn't react from Sima Mo's words.
Thinking of the Peach Blossom Chronicle, thinking of the woman Sima Mo loved in the middle of his mouth?
Suddenly, the concubine's eyes flashed with shock, as if she understood something.
......
......
A flash of golden sunlight fell on the jade steps through the gaps in the leaves.
Murong Jin felt incredible when he learned everything that happened at the birthday banquet last night.
Mrs. Li Ji drugged and tried to murder His Majesty?
Shaking her head, she felt that there must be other reasons for this.
It stands to reason that Mrs. Li Ji is not such an ignorant person, how could she try to murder His Majesty after the birthday banquet?
Besides, what good is it for her to plot for His Majesty's life?
Just as she was in thought, her waist was jerked by a large thick palm, and her body fell into a thick chest.
"What are you thinking?" Sima Mo's thin lips pressed to her ear.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”
"Huh?" Sima Mo's dark eyes narrowed slightly, so his big palm was about to reach in along the placket of her clothes.
Murong Jin was startled and hurriedly grabbed his hand.
This is the Imperial Study, so what if someone comes in and sees it?
"Still not telling the truth?" Sima Mo threatened.
Murong Jin bit her lip, "I just think that Mrs. Li Ji ......"
"Don't mention her!"
Murong Jin was stunned for a moment, but still spoke, "Your Majesty, don't you think that there is something suspicious about this matter?" ”
"I only know that she is going to murder me!"
Speaking of Mrs. Li Ji, Sima Mo's eyes were full of disgust.
Murong Jin sighed lightly, "Perhaps, Mrs. Li Ji was just victimized......"
"Even if she is harmed, she deserves it!"
Murong Jin frowned, "Isn't Your Majesty going to investigate thoroughly?" ”
"Thoroughly?" As if he had heard some joke, Sima Mo raised his hand and pinched Murong Jin's face, "You have time to care about her, why don't you think about it, how to behave well tonight, huh?" ”
Hearing this, Murong Jin's face immediately turned red, and he raised his eyes to stare at Sima Mo, but it caused Sima Mo to laugh heartily.
Murong Jin bit her lip. This man is really getting more and more shameless!
Raising his hand to push him away, she got up and prepared to leave, but he quickly restrained her waist and prevented her from leaving.
"I don't have enough time for you, so how can I have the time to investigate this matter thoroughly?" Sima Mo raised his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Murong Jin was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was soft.
