Guan Zhen listened to Mo Zhi's suggestion, suspended the continuation of the reform, and reluctantly suppressed the opposition forces inside and outside the court.

Even so, the division of forces in the court was still very unfavorable to Guan Zhen, and there were even rumors that Guan Zhen would abdicate and recommend Guan Yan to the throne.

Mo Chao secretly wrote a letter to Guan Yan and told him the current situation, Guan Yan was very happy to learn the news at the border pass, and even accelerated the alliance with neighboring countries to strengthen his strength.

In the past few days, because of the complicated affairs in the court, Mo Zhi has been busy and has not had much time to stay by An Xian's side, so Ma Ruiyang has always been taking care of him.

However, since he came out of Mo Chao that day, Ma Ruiyang's heart has been uneasy, and Mo Chao's words have been haunting Ma Ruiyang's heart.

Every day at noon, when he boiled the medicine, Ma Ruiyang would take out the package of medicine, try and try to measure, but he couldn't be ruthless, he didn't start for a long time, and then he regretted a little, he and this family are not related to each other, why can't he be ruthless, he is helping Mo Chao complete the plan, is he really emotional.

Seeing that there was no movement on Ma Ruiyang's side, Mo Chao became anxious, and he couldn't help but have doubts about Ma Ruiyang in his heart, so he found a time and called Ma Ruiyang out.

In the dim room, there were only two people, Mo Chao and Ma Ruiyang, a table, two chairs, Mo Chao sat on the chair, and Ma Ruiyang stood aside, his head bowed, his expression solemn, and he didn't dare to speak.

After a long time, Mo Chao smiled coldly and said to Ma Ruiyang: "Ruiyang, you have been with me for a while." ”

Mo Chao's words echoed in the empty room, making the air around him even more oppressive.

"Yes, Lord Chang." Ma Ruiyang calmed down, suppressed his nervousness and uneasiness, and responded in a low voice, Ma Ruiyang remembered that he didn't know when Mo Chao would call him Master Chang by himself.

Mo Chao got up and left the chair, walked slowly to Ma Ruiyang, and raised Ma Ruiyang's chin with one hand.

Ma Ruiyang was shocked, his breathing became short, and his eyes were staring at Mo Chao tightly.

Mo Chao hooked a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Ruiyang is getting more and more beautiful now, it's no wonder that the Mo family likes you, you are smart and capable, and you are beautiful, who doesn't like it, it's just that their liking for you is probably the one who makes you forget who you are." ”

Ma Ruiyang's figure trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Chang, Ruiyang's life was given by you, Ruiyang knows that without you, Ruiyang would not be where Ruiyang is today." ”

After a pause, he looked at Mo Chao's eyes, and then said: "I will never do such a treacherous thing, please give Ruiyang a while longer, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Mo Chao laughed twice, pinched Ma Ruiyang's face hard, and said viciously: "This is the best." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and sat down on the chair again, leaned back, raised one hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and slowly said: "Your speed should also be faster, while Mo Zhi is busy in the court, this is the best opportunity for you to start, the two fathers and sons of the Mo family, if there is any action, you must also tell me in time." ”

Ma Ruiyang nodded, his heart full of uneasiness.

Mo Chao pulled the purse off his waist, took out a pill from it, stretched out his hand and handed it to Ma Ruiyang, and said: "This medicine is extremely effective, find a chance, give it to An Xian, you don't have to stay in Mo Mansion anymore, take this opportunity to return to my side." ”

Ma Ruiyang held the medicine, frowned, responded to Mo Chao in a low voice, and withdrew from Mo Chao, with mixed feelings in his heart, what should he do next.

In the evening, Mo Zhi and Mo Qingyuan both returned home, Ma Ruiyang and Xia Zhu were busy in the kitchen, and An Xian beckoned a few people to sit down and eat together.

At the dinner table, An Xian kept serving Ma Ruiyang vegetables, and Mo Zhi also took the initiative to talk to Ma Ruiyang, which made Ma Ruiyang feel even more weird.

After the meal, Mo Qingyuan pulled Ma Ruiyang to the small garden in the courtyard, the moonlight fell on the ground, and also fell on the two people, who were far away, both lowered their heads and did not speak.

Mo Qingyuan tilted his head and looked at Ma Ruiyang beside him, his eyes flashed, and he said: "During this time, I have worked hard for you, I have to be busy with the affairs of the library, and I have to take care of my mother." ”

Ma Ruiyang lowered his head, his cheeks were slightly red, and he responded softly: "Wherever I go, it's what I should do, and I don't feel hard." ”

Mo Qingyuan looked at the delicate person in front of him and walked towards Ma Ruiyang, the two of them got closer and closer, and Ma Ruiyang's heart beat faster and faster.

Mo Qingyuan took Ma Ruiyang's hand and whispered in her ear: "When my father is done with this period of time, I will ask him to choose a date to marry you." ”

Ma Ruiyang listened to Mo Qingyuan's words, looked up at him in a daze, didn't know what to say for a while, Mo Qingyuan looked at Ma Ruiyang's appearance and smiled at her.

Outside, Mo Qingyuan has always been arrogant and indifferent, and he has never been so relaxed and comfortable as in front of Ma Ruiyang.

Ma Ruiyang looked at the man in front of him, his angular face, and this smile was very good-looking, and he was a little distracted for a while, and only replied softly after a long time: "You and Commander Mo are busy with official business, don't worry, let's wait and talk." ”

But Mo Qingyuan would never have thought that this woman he liked so much would be an undercover agent arranged by Mo Chao beside him, and Ma Ruiyang never thought that he would really fall in love with Mo Qingyuan, and no one could predict what the fate of the two would be.

Ma Ruiyang is still doing his best to work in the library every day, and returns to Mofu to take care of An Xian, who is pregnant.

In the kitchen, Ma Ruiyang stared at the medicine pot in front of him in a daze, his brows were slightly furrowed, he didn't know what he was thinking, the brown Chinese medicine was bubbling in the pot, and the spicy smell of Chinese medicine filled the whole room.

Xia Zhu walked in, looked at the stunned Ma Ruiyang, and called out to her: "Ruiyang, why are you stunned here, if you are too tired, go back to your room to rest, I'll just watch it here." ”

Ma Ruiyang slowly raised his head, smiled at Xia Zhu, and replied, "It's okay, I'm not tired, I'll come, you can go and do something else." ”

Xia Zhu nodded, turned around and retreated.

Ma Ruiyang looked at the medicine pot in front of him, took out the pill given by Mo Chao, and put it in after a long time.

An hour later, Ma Ruiyang gently knocked on the door of An Xian's room with a medicine bowl, heard An Xian greet, pushed the door and walked in.

An Xian was sitting against the window, holding a book in his hand, with pen and ink on the side, when he saw Ma Ruiyang coming, he hurriedly put down the book and walked over with a smile.

"I was really bored at home, so I took out my pen and ink to see if there was any inspiration and thought about writing something more." An Xian looked at Ma Ruiyang with a smile in his eyes and pulled her to sit down.

Ma Ruiyang put the medicine bowl on the table, pushed it in front of An Xian, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Madam, the medicine is boiled, it's better to drink it while it's hot." ”

An Xian looked at this bowl of medicine, his face was full of reluctance, and said to Ma Ruiyang with a smile: "You listen to Mo Zhi's words, this medicine is on time every day." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the medicine bowl, and was about to bring it to his mouth, when he suddenly remembered something, put the bowl on the table again, looked up at Ma Ruiyang, and said with a smile: "I have prepared a good thing for you, I will go and get it to you now." ”

Ma Ruiyang looked at An Xian with a happy face, and then looked down at the medicine bowl, feeling very uncomfortable.

An Xian got up and walked to the dresser, picked up a small delicate mahogany box, walked towards Ma Ruiyang, and sat next to Ma Ruiyang.

Ma Ruiyang didn't know what An Xian was going to do, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

An Xian smiled, reached out and handed the mahogany box to Ma Ruiyang's hand, and said with a smile: "Open it and take a look." ”

Ma Ruiyang looked at the small box in his hand, opened it and took a look, there was a pair of gold and jade bracelets lying in the box, the color was full, very good-looking, and the quality was excellent at first glance.

Ma Ruiyang looked at the bracelet on his hand in a daze, and then looked up at An Xian, he was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, and only after a while did he speak: "Madam, what are you doing?" ”

An Xian took the bracelet out of the box, put it on Ma Ruiyang's hand, looked at it for a long time, and said to Ma Ruiyang with a smile: "Look, how beautiful, I'm still afraid that it is not suitable, your delicate hands are just right to wear it." ”

An Xian took Ma Ruiyang's hand and said: "You and Mo Qingyuan are in love, Mo Zhi and I are also very happy to look at it, this bracelet is regarded as a gift from me, you are not allowed to want it, I have carefully selected it for a long time, and a lady also took a fancy to it, and it took me a lot of effort to snatch it from her hand." As he spoke, he smiled mischievously at Ma Ruiyang.

Ma Ruiyang listened to An Xian's words, he was very moved, looked down at the bracelet on his wrist, smiled embarrassedly, and a little pearl appeared in his eyes.

An Xian looked at Ma Ruiyang, smiled, reached out and picked up the medicine bowl, and sent it to his mouth, Ma Ruiyang saw this, he was anxious, and he didn't think much about hitting the medicine bowl in An Xian's hand to the ground.

This frightened An Xian, one hand stroked his chest, looked at Ma Ruiyang with a surprised face, and said, "Ruiyang, what are you doing?" ”

Ma Ruiyang couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, knelt in front of An Xian crying, and said, "Madam, Ruiyang is sorry for your Mo family." As he spoke, he took off the bracelet from his hand and put it back.

"Ruiyang will move out of Mofu today, and I won't go to the library again, so Mrs. will not have me from now on." Ma Ruiyang burst into tears and said to An Xian.

An Xian looked puzzled, not understanding what Ma Ruiyang's words meant, so he got up and hurriedly helped Ma Ruiyang up, and said: "Do you have something to hide from me, if you have any difficulties, you must tell me, don't treat yourself as an outsider, this is your home." ”
