Chapter 42: The Ladder of Love

In the early morning of the next day, Ru Mo was lying on the ivory bed with carved dragons and phoenixes, and before she woke up, she heard a scream, followed by Xiao Gong'e's respectful blocking sound; "County Lord, Niangniang hasn't woken up yet, you can come back later."

Ru Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and rubbed her eyebrows, "Let the county lord come in......"

Seeing this, Xiao Gong'e hurriedly stepped forward and said; "The mother is awake."

Ning Xue pushed away Xiao Gong'e who was blocking in front of her, was stunned, and exclaimed; "Wow, Sister Mo, this ivory bed is so exquisite, so beautiful." When I raised my eyes again, I saw the person who had just woken up, with slender eyebrows like tassels, skin as white as clotted fat, delicate facial features, and her indifferent demeanor, quietly revealing a noble and demure temperament, like a beauty like ice.

"Oh, this is sent by your imperial brother a few days ago, if you like it, let him give it to you too." Ru Mo looked at Ning Xue in a daze, pulled her long black hair, and reminded and asked; "Cher, what's wrong?"

Ning Xue came back to her senses, blinked her eyes, and couldn't help sighing, "Sister Mo, you are so beautiful, Xue'er finally knows why Brother Huang and Brother Yan like you so much." ”

Ru Mo smiled stunned, she didn't expect this girl to be in a hurry early in the morning, just talk about this, she didn't talk about the point at all, but, she guessed the key point a little earlier, she couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled; "Xue'er, you're still young, when you're older, you'll be even more beautiful than Sister Mo." As he spoke, he got up and put on a thin veil, and instructed Gong E beside him, "Take out my jasper phoenix wings." "She is going to dress up well, because she will definitely go to "say goodbye" to the concubine in a while!

Ning Xue suddenly remembered, and suddenly became nervous; "Sister Mo, last night that broken cat went to make trouble with the concubine, causing the concubine not to sleep all night, and finally let those eunuchs skin the cat alive, after the royal brother learned about it in the morning, he went to the concubine to theorize, and then ......"

"And then what?" Ru Mo held back the smile hidden in her lips, looked at Ning Xue, who was halfway through her words, and asked softly.

Ning Xue pursed her lips, made a very helpless expression, and replied; "Then the royal brother didn't let the concubine compensate him for the stinky cat that could only distinguish incense, and the concubine was angry on the spot."

Ru Mo stared at the glamorous woman with a smile on her face in the mirror, and said secretly; "Hehe, I've really changed, I'm more and more like the woman in this palace." Another thought, "That cat is also too good at 'moving', it is simply indispensable, its greatest advantage is not that it can distinguish what incense is, but that it can understand human speech!" When he got up, he glanced around, and his eyes lit up, "Let's go, go with the concubine to the concubine!"

When she arrived at the concubine's bedroom, Ru Mo calmed down, squeezed out a few tears, and walked in lightly.

The palace maids in the palace, the imperial doctors were trembling and hurriedly asked Ru Mo to say goodbye, "Concubine Mo Niangniang......" Then the concubine's voice sounded, "Mo girl?"

"Yes, mother, the concubine has come to greet you." Ru Mo waved her hand to let the palace maids and imperial doctors get up, and at the same time stepped forward and saluted the concubine, whose face was slightly pale and still had an elegant posture.

The concubine didn't seem to have the intention of letting Ru Mo get up, waved her hand, and shouted at a room of people; "Stand down."

After the palace maid and the imperial doctor retreated, Ru Mo frowned and cautiously curried; "Mo'er heard that her mother didn't sleep last night, and she was very worried, I don't know what Mo'er can do for her mother to relieve her mother's insomnia?"

"Hmph" The concubine smiled sarcastically, suppressed the anger in her heart, stared at Ru Mo and asked; "Mo girl, do you really want to do something for the mourning family?"

Without waiting for Ru Mo to answer, the concubine narrowed her eyes and said word by word; "Then the jasmine girl will dedicate the secret recipe of 'pleasant intoxication' to the mourning family."

Ru Mo instantly shivered and asked in disbelief; "Mother, why do you want that incense?"

After the concubine muttered for a moment, her voice suddenly became excited; "That incense can not only hook a man's soul, but also live forever after swallowing, you bring the secret recipe for incense, and the mourning family will immediately set you up as the queen."

"Immortality?" Ru Mo was stunned, suspecting that something was wrong with her ears, she didn't have any secret recipe for incense at all, even if she did, she didn't believe that an incense could have so many functions, especially "immortality"!

The moon shadow swayed, and a handsome figure on the eaves of the palace stood tall and jade, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a charming smile in his eyes.

Ru Mo stood in front of the desk to paint by candlelight and moonlight, and when the wolf in her hand was put down, she couldn't help but twist her eyebrows, "Xiao Yan, how long are you going to hate me and be angry with me?" If Ning Xue hadn't come to tell me, I wouldn't have known that you had gone on the expedition, would I have failed and even you would have been disappointed in me?"

"Sister Mo, what are you painting, mountains, water, and rivers, how can a woman paint such a thing?" Ning Xue glanced at the picture scroll on the case, blinking her clear eyes.

Ru Mo was absent-minded and said curtly; "It's a great river and mountain, can't you see it?"

"I can't see it." Ning Xue shook her head, and suddenly asked Ru Mo with interest; "Sister Mo, where do you say Brother Yan is now?"

Ru Mo was stunned and picked up the wolf hair that had been put on the table, drew circles in the palm of her hand, and replied in frustration; "How would I know?"

At this moment, a little Gong'e stepped in, walked to Ru Mo's side, smiled and bowed, "Slave maid to meet Concubine Mo." ”

Ru Mo withdrew her thoughts, looked at the strange little Gong'e in front of her, and asked with a smile; "Which palace are you from? What's the matter?"

"The slave maid has found something and wants to return it to Concubine Mo." Xiao Gong'e said, spreading her palm in front of Ru Mo, only to see that in her palm, there was a sachet embroidered with the word "Mo".

Ru Mo's heart was suddenly shocked, and she covered her cheeks with both hands, "Where did you get this sachet from?" She clearly remembered that the sachet was pressed under the pillow every day, and when it ran into the hands of a little Gong'e.

Ning Xue snatched the sachet and shouted as if she had discovered a new world; "Sister Mo, I used to see that Brother Yan often took this style of sachet, it's so beautiful, if Sister Mo doesn't want it, just give it to Xue'er, right?"

Ru Mo's eyes bulged wide, and a flash of spiritual light suddenly flashed in her mind, that day, before Imperial Doctor Wu went out with Xiao Yan, he specially came to change an octagonal pillow for her, saying that it was good for the cervical spine, she didn't care at the time, it turned out to be at that time......

Ru Mo's hand wiped her cheeks again, wiped the cold sweat, and with the throbbing in her heart, she snatched the sachet from Ning Xue's hand, stretched a finger into the sachet, and drew a small note, only to see two words written on the note with blurred ink and beautiful handwriting; "Grind!"

"Grind, grind, what grind, Sister Mo?" Ning Xue looked at Ru Mo, who looked excited, and asked puzzledly.

Ru Mo's eyes were instantly overflowing with a happy smile, the corners of her mouth were curved, revealing a row of bright teeth, and she shouted to Ning Xue; "Xue'er, you go back to rest first, Sister Mo is going to grind......" As soon as the words fell, she couldn't wait to run out.

Ning Xue looked at Ru Mo's back in a daze, and the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, and the words were, "Sister Mo...... You have ink on your hands...... Your face has become a little black cat...... You can't 'grind' anymore!"

At the corner of the eaves of the carved dragon and phoenix, there is a large wooden ladder, and a certain woman pulls up her skirt and climbs like a monkey, not forgetting to gnash her teeth in her mouth; "Don't you know if I'm out of lightness? I also made an appointment to meet on the eaves of the palace, oops, this ladder is really hard to climb......"

I only heard the "creaking" sound of the ladder, and Ru Mo felt a gust of wind rushing towards her face, and with the movement, she floated around like a ghost in mid-air.

"Mo'er, what are you doing here?" On the eaves of the palace, he heard a certain "panting" sound, and subconsciously glanced down, only to see her embarrassed appearance infinitely enlarged in his pupils, and he couldn't help but slowly raise the corners of his mouth, but his eyebrows were slightly twisted.

She was angry and brainy on the ladder for a while, "But when I have no light skills, where is it not good to make an appointment, and when I make an appointment on the eaves, you dare to ask me what to do?" Suddenly, stepping on it hard, she hung straight on the ladder that swayed from side to side, and suddenly her body stiffened, her face turned iron-blue, and she rushed up and shouted with a beat of her heart; "Xiao ......"

In the midst of lightning, Xiao Yan flew towards Ru Mo and hugged her in mid-air, her eyes closed in terror, and she wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Mo'er...... It's okay......" looked at her lying in her arms, hanging her head, trembling slightly like a kitten, and suddenly an indescribable distress welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but soften his voice, and repeated worriedly; "Mo'er, it's okay."

She opened her eyes, met him with a clear eye, slowly raised her palm, slapped him, he held her palm, hugged her tightly in his arms, kissed her hair, and laughed; "My Mo'er, when did you become a little flower cat and catch people at every turn?"

She was angry and anxious, a sour, bitter and salty feeling hit her heart, and she couldn't help but do her best to struggle fiercely; "Xiao Yan, if you let go of me, I will become a cat, for you I have become a cat who can't do light work, I came to climb the ladder in the middle of the night, and almost gave away my life, didn't you go on the expedition, didn't you ignore me, why did you come back, look at my jokes?" She couldn't control the emotions she had suppressed for a few days, and she came at him with such a slap.

"Won't you do it lightly?" He had already regretted it in his heart, but when he heard her say "I won't do light work", a tingling pain suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly grabbed her wrist, and when the slender fingers touched her artery, her wrist instantly lost the strength to struggle.

Looking at his expression when he carefully checked his pulse, as well as his slightly frowning eyebrows, she was inexplicably moved in her heart, but as soon as the words came out, she ran away, "That day at my sister's place, I still called 'Mo'er, Mo'er, Mo'er', I don't know how pleasant, what are you doing now, what does it matter to you whether I live or die?"

As soon as she saw Xiao Yan, her IQ would become lower, even if it became low, she also became a cautious eye and vinegar jar, she really blamed herself for not being angry, she obviously liked people to death, but she was not right-hearted, as soon as the words came out, she regretted it first and wanted to dig a hole in the ground, hey, it seems that it is always a woman who suffers, because women are soft-hearted!

His face stiffened, and the corners of his good-looking lips couldn't help twitching, staring angrily at the woman in front of him who was a little stupid and even stupid enough to face like a little flower cat, sighed helplessly, raised his eyebrows and asked; "What's wrong with me calling Mo'er? You don't have to use your brain, every time you ......."

"The Mo'er in your mouth is my sister, my sister's name is Xin Mo, my name is Ru Mo, you are in her dormitory, can you call me?" She interrupted him graciously, and continued to dwell on the question according to her own reasoning.

When in the tent, Imperial Physician Wu said that Ru Mo had used internal strength to help the queen drive away Gu, and he was not the one who harmed the queen, he was surprised and happy and even a little annoyed, he was surprised that she was still the kind-hearted Mo'er, and he was annoyed that he had misunderstood her.
