Chapter 128: Countdown to the Day
The war broke out on the fifth day after she was imprisoned, as An Xian had calculated, and she didn't feel anything in prison, but the situation outside was tense, and everyone was strategizing.
"Recently, the court has been busy with affairs, and His Royal Highness has no time to take care of anything else, and besides, the second prince and the third prince have recently been fighting for military power, threatening to repel the enemy army, and His Royal Highness has a headache." Si Lu said to Qin Lie: "But I think Your Highness can't care about anything else, probably the other two are the same, this is a good time for you to fight back." ”
Qin Lie's spirit improved a lot: "I also have this plan, these few knives can't be in vain!" ”
Mo Zhi looked at him: "Are you injured?" ”
"It's definitely not okay to do it, but there's nothing wrong with anything else, I've suffered any injuries before, and the injuries that are lighter than this one don't heal so quickly this time, An Xian's method is really good." Qin Lie exclaimed: "By the way, you still can't go in to see her recently?" ”
"The second prince has also loosened up a little in the past few days, and he should be able to mix in and meet." Si Lu looked at Mo Zhi: "Just let Mo Zhi go in and take a look alone." ”
The three of them discussed for a long time and decided to start in the next few days, compared to these territories, the second prince of course attaches more importance to military power, so he probably won't focus on this.
An Xian sat in this prison for several days before he could sleep peacefully, because of the wound and the environment, he had not been resting well, Qiao Yu saw it, so he asked her to make up for it during the day, she was guarding on the side, and An Xian was more at ease.
When Mo Zhi came in, An Xian was sleeping soundly, and it was Xiaojiu who led him in, and Xiaojiu beckoned to Qiao Yu: "This is Brother Mo, you tell Sister An Xian to get up." ”
Qiao Yu fixed his eyes and saw that the man outside the cell was handsome, and he was looking at An Xian with a worried face, and hurriedly shook An Xian: "Sister An, Sister An?" Your husband has come to see you. ”
An Xian opened his eyes in a daze, saw Mo Zhi outside, woke up, got up and ran to the door: "Why are you here?" ”
Mo Zhi grabbed her hand and said softly, "I have lost a lot of weight." ”
An Xian pulled his lips: "Just a few days, how much weight can I lose, it's okay." ”
Mo Zhi held her hand tightly: "How is the injury?" Let me see. ”
An Xian rolled up his sleeves: "Look, it's all scabbed, it's almost well." ”
It's almost healed, but when Mo Zhi saw such a large hideous wound, he still shrank his eyes and gently rubbed the injured area: "I won't let you suffer like this again in the future." ”
An Xian comforted: "It's okay, isn't there only ten days left?" ”
Speaking of this, Mo Zhicai asked: "Dai Ling really has a way to save you?" ”
An Xian was honestly unsure, I didn't know if Dai Ling could go smoothly, whether he could expect to arrive in the capital within the future, and even if he did, would the emperor change his mind, but now in this situation, no one else can help her except him, but she knew that Mo Zhi had been worried about herself, and she didn't want him to be uneasy all the time, so she smiled: "Don't worry, as long as he comes to the capital within ten days, it will be fine." ”
Mo Zhi touched her hair, and looked at her face and knew that she was very uncomfortable, she used to have to take a bath every day, and she must not be used to such a place.
"Brother Mo, it's almost time." Xiaojiu reminded in a whisper beside him.
An Xian pulled out his hand: "Go quickly, do whatever you have to do, don't always worry about me, and don't come into this place again, it's not good to be caught by his people." ”
Waiting for Mo Zhi to leave, An Xian looked at the door in a daze for a long time, Qiao Yu gently pulled her: "Sister An, let's go sleep for a while!" ”
An Xian sat back and shook his head: "I can't sleep." ”
Qiao Yu exclaimed: "Sister An's husband must love you very much, look at that distressed look, he is really a match for you." ”
"Hey." An Xian felt that things were contrary to her original intentions, she originally wanted to change the lives of their father and son, and wanted them to live a stable and peaceful life, but it seemed that after having herself, it was even more shocking.
However, although the two countries are at war, because the capital is too far away, many people do not have a sense of crisis, and there is no other difference as the days go by.
But secretly he was not idle, Qin Lie sent someone to test it once, and then officially started to work with the people of the second prince, and as expected, he took a lot of advantage, it seems that if he wants to take the territory, this period is the best.
"Dad, why hasn't she come back yet?"
Mo Qingyuan would ask once in almost two or three days, and Mo Zhi could feel that although Mo Qingyuan's temperament was difficult to be as clingy and coquettish as children of the same age, it was obvious that An Xian had already made him feel that they were a family, and she was an indispensable part.
"Do you miss her?"
Mo Qingyuan tightened his mouth, as if he was a little embarrassed, but probably because he wasn't in front of An Xian, he nodded reluctantly: "A little." ”
Mo Zhi touched his little head with relief: "Then if she comes back, will you promise your father one thing?" ”
"What's the matter?"
Mo Zhiyi raised his eyebrows: "You will call her mother in the future, okay?" ”
Mo Qingyuan paused for a moment, looked at Mo Zhi with a tangled expression, and his small expression made Mo Zhi happy: "Dad knows that it is not easy for you to change your words, but think about it, she has been in our house for so long, although she was not good to you before, but now she has changed, she puts you first in everything, she has never scolded or beaten you, and she spoils you more than other people's mothers, so you really don't kiss her at all?" ”
"She's good to me." Mo Qingyuan said: "But she is not my mother." ”
"But she really treats you as a son, why can't you treat her like a mother?" Mo Zhi patiently explained: "Your mother gave birth to you and you are gone, don't you always ask your father, why can't you have a mother?" In fact, there are very few stepmothers like her. ”
"Me." Mo Qingyuan was puzzled: "But I can't call it." ”
"Dad knows that the first sound is always hard." Mo Zhi said softly: "She has been injured and suffered a lot, if you can call her a mother at that time, she will definitely be very happy." ”
"She's hurt?" Mo Qingyuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with her?" Where did it go? ”
Mo Zhi hugged him and sighed lightly: "It will be fine, believe in Dad, and believe in her, she will definitely come back." ”
Time flies quickly and tormentingly, Mo Zhi always looks forward to fifteen days passing soon, An Xian can come back early, but he is afraid that time will pass too quickly, seeing that the days are passing day by day, Dai Ling has no news at all, and his heart begins to burn little by little.
"Distracted again?" Si Lu's hand shook in front of his eyes: "Qin Lie just asked you!" ”
Mo Zhi suddenly came back to his senses: "Huh? What the? ”
Qin Lie sighed lightly: "He's worried about An Xian again, is there only two days left?" Is there no news at all? ”
Mo Zhi shook the teacup: "No." ”
Speaking of which, Si Lu was also worried: "Could it be that An Xian miscalculated, right?" If this is fifteen days away, the second prince will definitely not spare it at all, urging the emperor to close the case. ”
"But now we have no other way, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, wait!" Qin Lie continued: "I estimate that the second prince's side will almost be able to take it, but the situation on our side is not very good, if we have to recuperate to deal with the third prince, I am afraid it will take a few more days." ”
Mo Zhi nodded and asked Si Lu, "Do you have any news here?" Who might the emperor send to defend against the enemy? ”
"Anyway, it definitely doesn't have His Highness's share." Si Lu thought for a while: "The emperor hasn't decided yet, but I guess it may be the third prince, after all, the third prince's kung fu is really good, and he is also smart, and the important thing is that he is a person who has been on the battlefield, after all, he has enough experience." ”
"That's better to say, then it will be much easier when he leaves the capital."
Qin Lie clapped his head: "That's it!" Then there is basically nothing to do on my side, you can help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with peace of mind, and also, when I take the territory of the second prince and tell the emperor, if he is in a good mood, I will mention the matter of An Xian. ”
"I'm in trouble." Mo Zhi nodded.
In the last two days, Mo Zhi was almost restless, and when he returned home, he sat in the courtyard for a few hours, and Si Lu couldn't stand it: "You can't solve any problems like this, don't toss yourself." ”
"Si Lu, if Dai Ling can't help her, there will be only a dead end?"
Si Lu naturally knows these things best: "If the emperor really gives her a crime of treason, let alone a common man, even the ministers and sons will not be left behind." ”
Mo Zhi's eyes sank, and suddenly the topic changed: "When she was in the village, she was almost sunk in the pond, but I saved her in the water after everyone left, why does a person's life have to be decided by others?" Especially since she's so innocent! ”
Si Lu's face changed, and his hand clasped his shoulder: "What do you want?" Stop it as soon as possible! Now she is in danger alone, if you dare to mess around, then the family is not safe! ”
"She is also a member of my family, I can't sit idly by, let alone watch her die, although I am incompetent and can't save her openly, but I may not have my own way!"
Seeing that his thoughts were about to go to extremes, Si Lu said in an accentuated tone: "You still have a source!" Even if you don't care about your own life, even if you want to die with her, the child doesn't care? ”
Mo Zhi closed his eyes painfully: "When the time comes, I will entrust him to a reliable person, if I can save people, I will leave the capital for a family of three to live, if not, I can't ......"
"Confused!" Si Lu scolded: "Anyway, I won't care about you!" If you want to let him have no mother and no father, how will he live in the future? ”
"One more day." Mo Zhi exhaled deeply: "Wait a little longer." ”
Si Lu looked at him with a worried face, this person not only values feelings, but also has the courage to rob prison? Save death row prisoners? Even he didn't dare to think about this kind of thing, especially the emperor's personal trial, but now Mo Zhi obviously couldn't listen to anything, but he couldn't let him be impulsive and confused.
With a roll of his eyes, he also had an idea in his head, maybe he would resent himself afterwards, but he couldn't take care of it, he was emotional, but he had to think about the overall situation.
