Chapter 49: The Prophet's Hint

Dressed in a red dress, with a bun on her head, in addition to a phoenix-patterned golden hairpin, there is also a small and unique beaded silver hairpin to decorate, thin powder, Mo Yan dressed up to go to the Qingyan Palace.

He was accompanied by Jade Niang, Chunyi, and the attendants and maids of the Jiaofang Palace. Chunyi looked at Mo Yan teasing the emperor's eldest son, which made her can't help but recall that when Mo Yan insisted on refusing to enter the palace, she was really a stubborn and straightforward girl. But now, she often shows her gentle side, and she has changed from a girl to a mother, but she really has a bit of a mother's demeanor in the world.

"Why did His Highness bring the emperor's eldest son to the Qingyan Palace? He was so young that it would be inappropriate for him to cry at a feast. A banquet, why should His Highness be rumored? ”

Chunyi muttered behind Mo Yan, perhaps too confused, she didn't deliberately speak too quietly. Mo Yan stopped in front of the steps of the Qingyan Palace, waved his hand to the attendant guarding the door, and signaled that there was no need to report.

"First, I brought Cheng'er here because I wanted him to see what a loyal and famous general is, and it should be regarded as 'preschool education'. He is full of food and drink now, and he won't cry for the time being, if he really cries, Yu Niang will take it back to the Jiaofang Palace. Second, since I am a queen, I should be 'words and deeds are appropriate and appropriate', and the queen is still like this, let alone Your Majesty? ”

Yu Niang smiled slightly when she heard this, and before Chunyi could understand it, Mo Yan stepped into the Qingyan Palace first, and Chunyi had to hurry up to keep up.

Mo Yan saw Guan Yu at a glance raising the wine bottle at Liu Xie and drinking it, and at the same time he bowed and said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace, don't think that the status of the minister is low." ”

When Liu Xie was about to let Guan Yu not have to be polite, Mo Yan slowly walked to the center, because it was inconvenient to salute because he was holding Liu Cheng, so he had to smile and said, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." "Yu Niang and Chunyi also saluted, and the remaining attendants and maids were left outside the door by Mo Yan. Liu Xie obviously didn't guess that she would come here, and brought Liu Cheng with him. Even so, it was inconvenient for him to say anything, so he had to let Mo Yan sit aside.

Mo Yan noticed Liu Xie's puzzled look, she was already ready to speak, and replied easily: "Cheng'er has been crying in the Jiaofang Palace for a long time, no matter how you coax it, you can't be quiet, think about it carefully, Xu hasn't seen Your Majesty for too long, so the concubine went to Chengguang Hall to find Your Majesty, but Your Majesty was not there, and the concubine guessed whether Your Majesty was in Qingyan Palace, who would have thought that she was about to come here, and Cheng'er didn't make trouble." So the concubine was brave and brought Cheng'er here. I don't know if the concubine body has disturbed His Majesty and this ......" Mo Yan pretended to be weak, Chu Chu was pitiful, and pretended not to know Guan Yu in front of him, Mo Yan's move made Chun Yi behind him a little stunned, what happened to this His Royal Highness today, it was unusual, Chun Yi didn't understand what she meant.

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Yan, the doubt in his eyes was only a moment, and then he glanced at Yu Niang, who took Liu Cheng from Mo Yan and stood behind them with Chunyi. Liu Xie stretched out his hand and gently touched the back of Mo Yan's hand, and his eyes turned to Guan Yu on the seat again. "General Guan, this is my empress Fu Shi and the newly born emperor's eldest son Liu Cheng."

Guan Yu got up and knelt heavily in the center and saluted, "Minister Guan Yu has seen the queen and the prince. "General get up, I will hold a banquet for you today, so there is no need to be formal." Even if His Majesty in front of him said this, Guan Yu was still restrained and polite, especially since his gaze never moved to the queen's side, Mo Yan sighed secretly in his heart, he really deserved to be Guan Yu, and the person who fought and killed the enemy did not lose the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Mo Yan took advantage of Liu Xie's inattention and poured a full glass of the wine bottle in front of him, Chunyi almost wanted to stop her, but she grabbed the corner of her clothes first, and Chunyi retracted her hand in disbelief.

"Did the general have any news of the emperor's uncle before? I am very worried about the whereabouts of the emperor's uncle. Liu Xie's face was embarrassed, it didn't look like he was acting on the spot, he was indeed a little worried and concerned, Mo Yan watched them come and go while eating vegetables, could it be that Liu Bei was really involved in the previous "edict of clothes"? Lucky enough to escape a difficulty, should it be said that it was Liu Bei's blessing or Cao Cao's "*"? Who let Cao Cao not listen to Guo Jia's advice at that time, didn't let Liu Bei take advantage of the loophole at this time.

The prime minister sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the eldest brother, but the news that was replied was either that the eldest brother was dead or his whereabouts were unknown, and he never heard the news that the eldest brother was safe. Yu and his two sisters-in-law are looking forward to it day and night, hoping to find their eldest brother as soon as possible, and now they are ...... Yu couldn't inquire about the whereabouts of his eldest brother in person, so he was sitting on pins and needles, and he was uneasy. The prime minister treats his ministers with kindness, but he can swear an oath with the eldest brother and the third brother first, how can Yu be treacherous? This expedition to Guandu is just to repay the grace of the encounter. Even if the gift in front of him is like a mountain, and the feather cannot follow it, if he unfortunately dies in battle, he will not violate the oath of the day. ”

"General Guan's words, I understand. You and the imperial uncle have an oath in advance, and the sun and the moon can be seen. I believe that Uncle Huang must trust you, Uncle Huang does not have many henchmen, but all of them are as loyal and courageous as the general, and they have never deviated. Now that the general is in prison, I feel the same way. I can see that General Guan is very capable, outstanding in martial arts, and not lost his strategy. One day, the general will definitely be able to get out of the predicament and find the emperor's uncle. If...... At that time, can General Guan and Uncle Huang help me? This world is like a black and white game, if there is one son in the less game, I can't win. The general is a capable person, and without you and Uncle Huang, I can't break the chess game. Even if the general can't break the ice, he can win the hearts of the people for me as the emperor's uncle, I and the emperor's uncle are both surnamed Liu, born in the Han family, I believe in him, just like the emperor's uncle believes in you. I am fortunate to get out of the endgame, and ask the general to sweep away the obstacles for me and the Han family. Everything is decided by the general. ”

Liu Xie's tone was heavy, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all towards Guan Yu. When Mo Yan heard this, she almost choked on the vegetables, covered her mouth and coughed a few times, she knew that Liu Xie couldn't let go of the Han family, and wanted to win over Guan Yu with good words, but Liu Bei was so trusting? Mo Yan never thought that Liu Bei was a true gentleman, even if Liu Bei did have a lot of commendable qualities, but it was true that Liu Bei fled and abandoned his wife and children, and after Liu Xiechan gave the throne to Cao Pi, wouldn't he also be the emperor? When Mo Yan read the Three Kingdoms, he felt that Liu Bei was hypocritical and not as real as Cao Cao. But after crossing over here, so many things have happened, and Mo Yan's perception of the Three Kingdoms has also changed, and she hates Cao Cao's cruelty and cold-bloodedness.

There was silence in the Qingyan Palace, except for Mo Yan's cough just now, everyone didn't dare to make any sound. Mo Yan took advantage of this gap to take down the pearl flower silver hairpin from the bun, secretly hid it in his sleeve, pretended to lose the silver hairpin, frowned, and exclaimed: "It's not good." ”

Liu Xie looked at her sideways and asked, "What's wrong?" Mo Yan leaned over and saluted, "Back to Your Majesty, the silver hairpin on the concubine's hair bun is missing, I think it should have fallen accidentally on the road." Can the concubine let Chunyi go out and find it? ”

"It's just an ordinary silver hairpin, so you don't have to look for it."

"This silver hairpin is given to the concubine by His Majesty, and the concubine has always loved it, if you give it up like this, you will be ashamed of your Majesty's love, and secondly, you know that it was lost in the palace, but you deliberately didn't look for it, isn't it a pity? As long as it is still in the palace, it has to return to the concubine's side. Your Majesty, is the concubine right? Mo Yan blinked mischievously, intending to remind Liu Xie.

"It's hard for you to have a heart, it's because I didn't think it through. Chunyi, you go outside to look for it, let the guards and maids who guard the door follow you outside, and don't go back here if you don't find it. ”

Chunyi clearly remembered that before entering the Qingyan Palace, the silver hairpin on His Highness's head was still there, why was it not there at this time? Even if she was puzzled, she could only leave in response and instructed the chamberlain and the maid to look for the silver hairpin together. Now only Liu Xie, Mo Yan, Guan Yu, Yu Niang and the infant Liu Cheng are left in the Qingyan Palace.

After Guan Yu left in the spring, he suddenly got up and left the seat, knelt heavily in the center, and his voice resounded through the Qingyan Palace. "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. Yu is a courtier, and it is within his duty to serve His Majesty. In the past, he and the eldest brother and the third brother rose up, and they vowed to serve the court and stabilize the people, the eldest brother is His Majesty's imperial uncle, all of them are royal blood, and Yu should help His Majesty. But now the life and death of the eldest brother is unknown, how can I, as the second brother, help me. ”

"General Guan, what if I tell you that Uncle Huang is not only not dead, but also alive and well?" Mo Yan's words were like dropping a few pieces on a chessboard, and they were loud and loud, and they didn't go for a long time.

Guan Yu and Liu Xie looked at her, Mo Yan smiled and nodded, Liu Xie's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't stop Mo Yan's next words. Guan Yu was too shocked and looked up at the queen, but quickly realized that he was rude, so he quickly lowered his head. "The prime minister sent people to inquire everywhere about the whereabouts of the eldest brother, how does His Highness know?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine has overpassed, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame the concubine." With Liu Xie's permission, Mo Yan got up and walked slowly towards Guan Yu, and the silver hairpin was tightly held by her. "Although I am a woman, and I am in the palace, I am naturally not as good as the ministers above the court. But the facts in front of me can be understood by a woman. How could the prime minister not know? The general is bent on finding the emperor's uncle, if he really finds it, can the prime minister still keep the general? But he couldn't help but give an explanation, so the prime minister sent someone to inquire, and all he brought back was false news, in order to keep the general. I have heard His Majesty talk about the emperor's uncle, the emperor's uncle was upside-down when he was young, he was prepared for hardships, he was smart and resourceful, and he was good at recognizing people, such as General Guan, General Zhang...... "Mo Yan suddenly put down the silver hairpin in his hand, took two more steps beside Guan Yu, and then exclaimed: "My silver hairpin!" So it's here. ”

When he picked up the silver hairpin, he quickly said: "Liu Bei is at Yuan Shao's place." Guan Yu's eyebrows were even sharper, and his hands were clenched into fists, making a crisp sound. Mo Yan blew the dust on the silver hairpin, looked at Liu Xie on the table, she didn't hide her smile, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm right, right?" As long as the hairpin is still in the palace, it will definitely be able to return to me. But I thought it was outside the Qingyan Palace, but I didn't expect it to be right in front of me. Maybe there are really many things in this world right in front of us, but we don't know it. Mo Yan's last sentence meant something, the smile gradually disappeared, and she lowered her head and returned to Liu Xie's side. Yu Niang, give Cheng'er to me. ”

Mo Yan took Liu Cheng from Yu Niang's hand, Liu Cheng looked at her with his eyes open, he hadn't cried since he entered the door. "Your Majesty, look at how sensible and decent Cheng'er is. Xu is Cheng'er thinks the same as we think, and hopes that the general will find the imperial uncle as soon as possible. The concubine and His Majesty toasted the general together, wishing the general victory on the battlefield and his wish fulfilled. Luckily? Mo Yan raised the wine bottle with his other hand, wanting to toast and drink.

"Good. General Guan, I and the Empress toast you. Please rest assured that I will not mess with myself, as long as the throne is still in my hands, I will fight hard, the general is outside, and I have my own way to contact the general. When the general reunites with the imperial uncle in the future, please rest assured that he is my imperial uncle and I will trust him. ”

"Your Majesty and the Queen, the ministers will do their best and never give up. This time I was fortunate to win and reunite with my eldest brother, Guan Yu will definitely repay the favor and help His Majesty seize power. Guan Yu saw that the emperor and queen both drank wine, and he bowed and drank a glass heroically. His eyebrows sank, and he stroked his jet-black hair, as if there was something unspeakable.

"The general is worried about His Majesty and me?" Mo Yan said what Guan Yu thought in his heart, causing Guan Yu to look directly, but immediately avoided his gaze, Guan Yu attached great importance to etiquette. "If that person asks for His Majesty, he will not dare to act rashly, not to mention that the world is in chaos and there is no time to be free. Your Majesty still has to rely on General Guan. Your Majesty and I both believe that the general will not return empty-handed, Your Majesty, right? ”

"What the queen said is very true. The general will continue to drink and eat, but don't let me down on the feast. Liu Xie waved his hand, and Guan Yu returned the salute and continued to drink and eat. Mo Yan saw that Liu Cheng in his arms was already asleep, so he asked Yu Niang to take it back to Jiaofang Palace, and by the way, let her recall everyone who was looking for the silver hairpin.

When Guan Yu left the Qingyan Palace, just as Liu Xie was about to leave, Mo Yan grabbed him, and she withdrew all the palace people. Liu Xie's hand was held tightly by her, and he replied lukewarmly: "What to do?" ”

"Before Guan Yu set out on the expedition, His Majesty gave him the title of 'Beautiful Bearded Prince'. I think he should be quite happy, Your Majesty wants to win him over, so it has to be interesting, right? When he wins, remember to give him another knighthood. Also, Uncle Liu Huang can use it, but His Majesty can't believe it completely. ”

"You seem to know Guan Yu better than I do. If I don't believe Uncle Huang, who else can I trust? ”

"You can trust me!" Mo Yan stood up excitedly, and before he could stand firmly, he fell on Liu Xie. "Be careful!" Liu Xie reacted quickly, reached out to take her into his arms, the soft green silk was attached to Liu Xie's jaw, his breathing became rapid, and the two fell into an awkward stalemate.

"Come to think of it, I guess I forgot to take it." Chunyi pushed open the door and bumped into the ambiguous behavior of the two. "Ahh I didn't see anything! Chunyi hurriedly covered her face with her hands, closed the door and slipped away.

"I'm back in the Jiaofang Palace! Spring, you wait for me! Liu Xie hadn't let go yet, but Mo Yan had blushed and fled the Qingyan Palace first. Liu Xie sat alone in the Qingyan Palace for a long time, and he remembered Mo Yan's words and deeds at the banquet, as well as the sentence just now, "You can believe me!" "She spoke with sincerity, with clear eyes and a straight gaze. Liu Xie's face was a long-lost smile, he smiled with a gentle smile, it used to be for Mo Yan, but now it appeared on his face again, he picked up the jade pendant on his waist and gently stroked it back and forth. "Mo Yan, it turns out that I never let go of you."

Mo Yan who returned to the Jiaofang Palace, and when she calmed down, she recalled the records of the Three Kingdoms. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Yuan Shao, Guan Yu was defeated and captured, and he had to surrender as a last resort, and Cao Cao treated him with a generous courtesy. After Yuan Shao sent the generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guo Tu and others to attack the East County Taishou Liu Yan in the White Horse, Cao Cao personally led the army to rescue, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang in the army, and returned with his head, the generals of the Yuan army were unstoppable, the siege of the White Horse was relieved, and Guan Yu was named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion. In this battle, Guan Yu became famous. Later, Liu Bei learned that the person who killed him was Guan Yu, and sent someone to inform him that Guan Yu would later join Liu Bei.

Mo Yan informed Guan Yu of Liu Bei's whereabouts in the Qingyan Palace. Is she advancing the course of history, or is she changing history? Will this lead to a butterfly effect? Cao Cao's loss of Guan Yu can be regarded as a small revenge.
