Mo Li nodded: "You go, remember to send someone back to inform you if you have anything." ”

Sending Murong Chu out of the main hall, Mo Li turned back and asked Mo Jinyu, "Have you heard of any battles recently?" ”

Mo Jinyu shrugged: "I haven't heard of a war, and the military affairs in Beijing are as usual." ”

"Xi'er, you don't have to worry, maybe the emperor summoned General Murong into the palace for something else." Duan reassured.

Mo Li took a deep breath, I hope I thought too much.

"Sister, why haven't you been home for so long? I see you're getting fat. Mo Jinyu held his cheeks and looked at Mo Li.

"Xiaoxiao didn't tell you?"

"Say what? What does it matter to her that you don't come home? Mo Jinyu didn't know why.

Duan's "poof" laughed: "Jinyu, you're about to be an uncle." ”

"Huh?! It's true? Mo Jinyu looked at Mo Li again and said in surprise.

Mo Li nodded with a smile, and his hand unconsciously touched his lower abdomen.

Mo Jinyu was so excited that he stood up and turned around, sat down again, pouted and said, "Even Sun Jiu knows about such a big thing, but he only told me now!" Sun Jiu too, he knew but didn't tell me. ”

"Oh!? Do you see Xiaoxiao often? Mo Li raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I saw it on the twenty-ninth day of the month, and she only said that she had drunk tea with you before, and she didn't say anything else." Mo Jinyu blurted out.

Mo Li smiled slightly: "How do you get along with Xiaoxiao?" ”

Mo Jinyu scratched his head: "She...... Pretty good. Then he reacted, and his ears turned red, "Now talk about your business, and what she does!" ”

Duan looked at the sisters and brothers, and said with a smile: "Jinyu, you don't have to be embarrassed, Xue'er is a good girl, you have to treat others well." ”

"Otherwise, let's get married in the fall." Mo Li said.

Duan pondered for a moment: "Why don't I discuss with Mrs. Qingyuan Hou another day?" ”

Mo Li nodded: "I think, Mrs. Qingyuan Marquis will definitely have no opinion." ”

"Sister-in-law, sister, you talk first, I remember that there are still some things, so I will retire first." Seeing that the two women were chatting lively, Mo Jinyu completely left him aside, and simply got up and retired.

Mo Li looked at his back as he fled in a hurry and laughed: "This kid is embarrassed!" ”

After lunch at noon, Mo Li went back to Ruolixuan and fell asleep, and when he woke up in the middle of the afternoon, Murong Chu had not returned.

found a book that he hadn't finished reading before, and Mo Li ate the preserved fruit candied fruit prepared by Duan's people while reading.

Seeing that the sky was gradually sinking, Ruoping came in from outside and said, "The master sent someone to spread the word, let us all stay in Mofu tonight and don't have to go back, he will come over later." ”

"Oh," Mo Li put down the notebook in his hand, "did you say what it was?" ”

Ruoping shook his head: "I didn't say it, I just said it was official business." ”

Mo Li frowned slightly, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter, otherwise I wouldn't have summoned people into the palace on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it's been almost a day, and I haven't come back yet.

In fact, her worries are not superfluous, at this time, in the imperial study of the palace, not only Murong Chu, but also the king of Beining, the marquis of Qingyuan, the prime ministers of the left and right, and the secretary of the military department are all there.

In the morning, when the emperor saw the border pass emergency, he only felt a tightness in his chest, and Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, led an army of 100,000 troops from the northwest border to the southeast, and had captured the four cities of Ding'an, Jinghe, Jingyang and Tianshui in just a few days.

The emperor immediately summoned several important ministers into the palace to discuss countermeasures, until nightfall, the holy decree was sent out of the capital with 800 miles of urgency, and Hua Feiyang, the lord of the western battalion, was in command, and his sons Hua Wenlong and Hua Wenhu were the vanguard to quell the rebellion.

When the time was near, Murong Chu came back from the palace with a body of frost, and saw Mo Li put on his shoes and went to the kang, frowning while changing his clothes: "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I slept a lot, and I wasn't sleepy." Mo Li ordered someone to bring hot water, and when Murong Chu cleaned his hands and face, he handed over the cloth towel, "Have you eaten?" Would you like to get some more to eat? ”

"I used it in the palace." Murong Chu threw the cloth towel onto the basin rack and stretched out his hand to roast it on the carbon basin, "You go lie down first, and then go over when I warm my body." ”

Every time Murong Chu went home, he had to get rid of the cold on his body before he was willing to approach Mo Li, for fear that she would catch a cold. Just now, because she was in a hurry to rush back to Mofu, she didn't even take the carriage, and rode the horse directly, although she changed her clothes, she was still afraid that the cold on her body would give her too much, so she had to bake it by the carbon basin for a while before she could rest assured.

Mo Li knew his intentions, and he didn't hesitate, took off his shoes and put himself on the kang, rolled himself in the quilt, and asked, "But what happened?" ”

"King Jin has raised his troops." Murong Chu didn't hide it from her, and said in a low voice.

The short sentence made Mo Li's heart sink, Zhong Hanchi really didn't die, not only did he not die, but he also raised troops at such a fast speed. Ever since that time on the battlefield, the thing she feared most was that there was a war. Because she has witnessed the cruelty of war, she does not have the noble feelings of worrying about the country and the people, but she does not want anyone to be deprived of their lives by war.

Seeing that she was stunned and didn't speak, Murong Chu came over and hugged her in his arms through the quilt: "What's wrong?" Didn't you have a lot of courage before? ”

"It doesn't matter how bold you are." Mo Li sighed lightly, "I just don't know how many more ...... Innocent people died. ”

"War is like this, and casualties are inevitable."

"What's going on now?"

"Four cities have been captured."

Mo Li gasped: "King Jin has good skills, it seems that he has really been planning for a long time!" The attraction of that location is really great, even at the expense of so many people. ”

"How many people did he care? Heavenly family is ruthless......"

"Also, even my own biological father can do it, what else can't I ......"

Mo Li sighed at the sadness of the world, but he knew that this world was like this, not to mention the royal family, which deep mansion compound did not have a few pickled dirty things? Even the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion where he is at the moment is not the same, it is nothing more than for the word power.

"Don't think about it so much, I'm telling you this, it's just that I don't want you to have unwarranted suspicions, but worry." Murong Chu felt that the coolness on his body had dissipated, lifted the quilt and got in, and then hugged the delicate little man into his arms.

Mo Li leaned into his arms, suddenly thought of something again, and asked: "King Jin went down to the four cities in a row, and Jingzhong only got the news, so these four cities are going down too fast, right?" Could it be that the guards in the city have been secretly communicating with him for a long time? ”

"I have this suspicion too, but I can't know for sure at the moment. However, Su Qingchun should not. Murong Chu stroked her long ink-like hair, "The chief soldier of Jingyang City, do you remember?" ”

"Remember, Mama He is still from his house." Of course, Mo Li remembered Su Qingchun, Mama He, who took care of her in Ding'an City, was a person from Sufu, and later because she escaped, Mama He was sent back to Sufu, and she would definitely be punished.

Although it has been a long time since this incident, when I think of Mama He being implicated by her, I still can't help it.
