Bai Yao looked at Yu Qianling, her eyes glowing with coldness.

"Miss, even if the devil doesn't recognize the arrow, I do. Why did you kill Princess Xiang? ”

Seeing Bai Yao's appearance like this, as soon as she opened her mouth, it was as if she was asking a teacher, and Yu Qianling was immediately unhappy.

"What? Bai Yao, do you want to rebel? Don't forget, I'm your master! Yu Qianling tilted her head and looked arrogant.

Bai Yao smiled coldly: "The valley lord asked me to serve the county lord as the lord, and the county lord is my master." At least, she's not putting on a high-minded self-righteous look like you! ”

Hearing Bai Yao say this, Yu Qianling suddenly became angry, she pointed at Bai Yao, and said angrily: "Bai Yao, you dare to speak to Miss Ben like this!" I think you're getting carried away by that vixen! She's a poor homeless wretch, and of course she can't be on top! ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Bai Yao's eyes: "Miss, your arrow caused Yi Fan to rest in bed to recuperate." Why do you want to hurt people, you didn't do this before, how did you become so annoying now? ”

Yu Qianling snorted: "Isn't that person still dead?" ”

This sentence completely angered Bai Yao.

"Miss, I'm here to warn you, don't make any more moves against the county lord, otherwise, I'm not polite to you! Also, the man who was hit by the arrow that day, just because you haven't seen it. He was seriously injured and had to stay in bed for a long time to recover. Remember, the only guards around the county lord are me and Moxi. After Bai Yao finished speaking, he turned to leave.

Yu Qianling looked at Bai Yao's back, a little angry.

"Okay, one by one, your wings are stiff, you think you have climbed a high branch, and you don't take me, the eldest lady, in your eyes! Sooner or later, I'll let you know how good I am! ”

After speaking, Yu Qianling took out a small black porcelain bottle from her cuff, and then gritted her teeth and said: "The slave actually dares to rebel, it is all your fault!" Vixen, you wait! Miss Ben will make you look good sooner or later! ”

Yu Qianling put away the porcelain vase. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.

"yes, who is that man? Why did you give the vixen an arrow? Bai Yao also asked me to keep it a secret. What are you kidding, is this the tone of begging! In the middle of the night, with a man, sneaky. I don't think this vixen is a good thing, that man must be her concubine! If the prince knew about this, he would definitely be able to recognize the true face of the fox spirit! ”

Talking to herself like this, Yu Qianling had a plan. She smiled sinisterly and hurried out of the palace.

***

Yaohua Palace.

Thousands of nobles saluted respectfully: "The concubine greets the mother." ”

The concubine held a book and said without raising her head: "Sit down." ”

Qian Guiren sat down and said to his concubine: "Niangniang, there are rumors outside the palace that have spread to the palace, saying that Princess Xiang and Prince Yun often have private meetings in the imperial tomb. I don't know if Concubine Xiao is going to do it. ”

The concubine put down the book in her hand, raised her head, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her eyes were a little proud: "If she wants to do it, it will be a good thing for the palace." If Concubine Xiao can pull Mo Hanyun into the water, then the palace can save effort. Even if she can't pull down Mo Hanyun, it won't do any harm to the palace. ”

"Mother, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. If Concubine Xiao really succeeds, what should Niangniang do next? Qian Guiren asked.

The concubine smiled, glanced at the thousands of nobles, and said proudly: "You, you have been staying in this Yaohua Palace, no wonder you are so lonely and unheard." ”

Qian Guiren smiled embarrassedly.

"Qianguiren, it's nothing, this palace won't leave you to drink tea." The concubine said.

"Then the concubine won't bother the mother, and the concubine will retire." The thousand nobles quickly stood up, saluted, and withdrew.

Seeing Qian Guiren leaving, the concubine dragged her chin with her hand, and disdain flashed in her eyes.

"Niangniang, although Qianguiren is not very smart, fortunately, she is very obedient." Guran said.

After listening to Gu Lan's words, the concubine smiled contemptuously and said, "She is not very smart, she is too stupid, and she is so timid. I really don't know how such a person got into that ghost place in the first place. How did she escape, and she lived peacefully in the palace for nearly twenty years. ”

Gu Lan thought for a while and said, "Niangniang, if you don't have some skills, how can these thousand nobles ......?"

The concubine raised her head violently and looked at Gu Lan.

"Mother, did you say something wrong?" Guran was a little confused.

The concubine shook her head, and suddenly looked serious: "Gu Lan, what you just said reminded the palace. The palace can't be careless, and it can't despise everyone in the harem. The stupidity of thousands of nobles may be pretended. After all, since the day she escaped, she was on the blacklist of the Ancient Night Hall. However, the most important thing now is not the thousand nobles, but the Yikun Palace. ”

"Niangniang, if Concubine Xiao succeeds in bringing down Prince Yun, then the biggest opponent of the three princes will be gone. What is the next step for the mother? Guran asked.

"You", the concubine pointed to Gu Lan, "You don't understand the emperor, let alone politics." Gu Lan, Concubine Xiao Guifei is still dreaming of her Spring and Autumn Festival, unless she gets rid of all the other princes, her third prince can sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince. ”

Gulan didn't speak, but two words were written all over his face: I don't understand.

"Mo Shaohui is not the material for governing the country at all. He is a general, and the emperor knows this very well. It's not that generals can't be emperors. The problem is that there is more than one prince who is more suitable than him. Thesis Tao, Lao Ba Mo Yixuan, Lao Jiu Mo Hanyun, and Lao Shi Mo Yichen are all above Mo Shaohui. Bengong felt that in a few years, the old twelve Mo Youjia might not lose to him. The concubine said unhurriedly.

***

Cloud King's Mansion.

Mo Hanyun was reading a book in the study.

Aunt Shen walked in with a cup of tea. She put her tea on her desk.

"Lord Wang, Miss Fang Cai Ling'er went to the street and heard some not very good rumors." Aunt Shen frowned slightly, a little worried.

Mo Hanyun raised his head and looked at Aunt Shen and said, "What rumors?" ”

Aunt Shen bit her lip and seemed to be a little hesitant, but she still said it.

"Lord Wang, this rumor says that you are the same as Lord Wang...... Princess Tongxiang has a personal affair. And ......"

Mo Hanyun frowned and asked, "What else?" ”

"It is said that a few days ago, one night, an assassin appeared in the imperial tomb, and Princess Xiang was seriously injured and is still bedridden." Aunt Shen looked at Mo Hanyun, for fear that he would have some overreaction.

Mo Hanyun stood up violently, very emotional: "What! She's hurt! ”

After speaking, Mo Hanyun walked out.

"Lord Wang, where are you going!" Aunt Shen hurriedly stopped Mo Hanyun.

"The prince is going to the imperial tomb?" Aunt Shen asked sharply.

"Auntie, this king has something important! Auntie, please get out of the way! Mo Hanyun looked anxious.

Aunt Shen didn't let go: "Lord Wang, you can't go to the imperial tomb." This rumor has spread in the capital, maybe it has already spread into the palace and into the ears of the emperor! If the prince goes, won't he confirm the rumors? This is easy to be used by people with a heart! ”

But where could Aunt Shen stop Mo Hanyun. Mo Hanyun was so anxious that he only remembered Yu Qianling, and left Mingyue Pavilion in a hurry.

Outside the Mingyue Pavilion, Yu Qianling couldn't help but sneer as she watched Mo Hanyun walk out in a hurry.

"Go, lord. Everywhere you go, you'll see a man willing to defend the vixen. I don't know how the prince will feel when he sees that wild man. This imperial capital is different, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. It's only been a few days, and it's been a storm all over the city. ”

***

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

"The son asks his father to say goodbye. Is my father feeling better? Mo Yichen said, his eyes full of concern.

"Old ten, get up quickly. You're here just in time to talk to your father. After the emperor finished speaking, he put down the fold in his hand.

Mo Yichen smiled and said, "Father's complexion is much better than before. In this way, the ministers will be relieved. ”

The emperor sighed lightly and said, "Old ten, fortunately, your temperament is not like that of Lao Wu." ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Mo Yichen showed a sad expression: "Father, the fifth brother is sick of heart, and he can't complain about others." ”

"Of my twelve sons, there are no three of them this year." The emperor looked sad.

Mo Yichen hurriedly persuaded: "Father's body is important, let the past pass." ”

"Today, a minister has asked for the establishment of a prince. Old ten, who do you think is the most suitable to be the prince? Tell me the truth, I forgive you for your innocence. The emperor asked suddenly.

Mo Yichen thought for a while and said, "Erchen thinks that the third brother is strategic, resourceful, courageous and heroic. The sixth brother is an upright, intelligent and clever man. Starlings are open-minded and optimistic. Brother Jiu is benevolent, filial, loyal, diligent and prudent. As for the other brothers, they also have their own advantages. ”

"What about you?" The emperor seems to be testing Mo Yichen.

Mo Yichen smiled and said, "Father, the emperor is benevolent and filial piety to rule the world, and there are many opportunities for the day. First, the sons do not have the kind of imperial aura that is unique to their father. Second, Erchen felt a headache when he thought too much. And ......"

Mo Yichen suddenly became stumbling.

"And what?" The emperor asked curiously.

Mo Yichen frowned, and said in a low voice: "Erchen doesn't like to see blood, and he doesn't want to hear it. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I forgot." You are notoriously good-natured in the palace. When I was a child, someone from the palace broke your favorite inkstone, and I wanted to punish him with a rod for thirty. As a result, you have to intercede with him, and the rod turns into rebuke. ”

"Father, the son met the ninth brother on the way into the palace. Did his father give him an errand? Erchen watched him go to the north gate. Riding a fast horse, he looked very anxious. Mo Yichen said.

"North Gate?" The emperor frowned.

Mo Yichen nodded.

"Old ten, you quickly get out of the palace and go to the imperial mausoleum to have a look." The emperor said.

Mo Yichen was puzzled: "Father, good manners, what are you doing in the imperial mausoleum?" ”

"To go to the imperial tomb, you must go through the north city gate. I felt a little uneasy. Don't make a noise, don't let anyone know, go to the imperial mausoleum to see if Lao Jiu is there. The emperor said.
