Chapter 123: A Conversation with the Empress

King Qing said in disbelief: "Impossible, this jade wrench finger was given to the emperor by the first emperor, even if he is grateful to you for saving him, he will not give you this ring." ”

Mao Leyan smiled and said, "However, now the jade wrench finger is indeed on me, which proves that he gave it to me, not me who stole it." Mao Leyan deliberately confused the concept.

"You know this is not what the king meant." King Qing was angry, he didn't care about the presence of others, and asked Mao Leyan sharply, "Even if you have a life-saving grace for him, he will not give it to people indiscriminately if the first emperor rewards him." What is the relationship between you and the emperor? ”

Mao Leyan smiled, his eyes were shining with a hint of seriousness, "What can I have to do with the emperor?" My father is not familiar with his father, my mother and his mother are not sisters, and I am not his third aunt, seventh aunt, eighth cousin or anything like that, what does it matter? ”

Mo Li stared at her with straight eyes, "It's really strange for you to speak, how dare you be so rude here?" ”

"Rude? I'm telling the truth. Mao Leyan smiled indifferently, "I saved him, and it is normal for him to give me something as a reward, there is nothing superfluous, and no matter how much there is, you just think too much." ”

The queen saw that Mao Leyan's expression was a little bad, so she said roundly: "The emperor often gives things to the people below, it's not a big deal." ”

King Qing knew that things were not so simple, his face turned blue, and he looked at Mao Leyan angrily. Mao Leyan didn't feel a little guilty, and only drank lightly. Seeing this situation, Mo Lizhong was secretly surprised, it seems that Mao Leyan's identity and intention are really suspicious, at least, she has now made a rift between the emperor and King Qing. Three words flashed through Mo Li's mind, making his whole person almost jump in shock, beauty!

He secretly organized it in his mind, first he lurked in King Qing's mansion, so that King Qing became interested in her, and then entered the palace to treat the queen mother, knew the emperor, and did not take the reward, but he stole the emperor's exquisite jade pendant, everyone knows that the exquisite jade pendant is a treasure of the royal family, which is equivalent to the jade seal of the country. She knew that the emperor would be in a hurry, but this matter could not be made public, so she bet that the emperor would personally go out of the palace to find the jade pendant. And she was closely monitored outside the palace and her henchmen, once the emperor left the palace, she ordered someone to ambush outside the palace, and when the emperor was injured, she appeared to save her, seemingly the emperor's savior, but it is not ruled out that everything was designed by her. As for how she recovered King Jing, this still needs to be investigated. However, she persuaded King Jing to withdraw his troops, which puzzled him very much, because the more chaotic the situation in the world, the better it would be for her and the forces behind her. However, if her master's ultimate goal is the throne, then without King Jing's competitor, his chances of winning will be greater. In short, no matter what her ultimate goal is, the current situation is that the emperor, King Jing, and King Qing all have an inexplicable ambiguity with her, and now King Qing has a lot of complaints about the emperor because of her, if she provokes it again, it is difficult to guarantee that the two will not turn against each other. Indeed, she has many opportunities to kill the emperor, but killing the emperor may not be beneficial to her, because her master will not be able to justifiably ascend the throne even after the emperor's death. Judging from the superficial evidence, the master behind her should be a chaotic party.

Thinking like this, he suddenly erected a sharp thorn all over his body to Mao Leyan, but he also remained silent and said lightly: "I don't want to talk about this matter anymore, it's just a jade wrench to give to whoever the emperor loves, and at that time on the West Mountain, the emperor didn't bring other items, and he was grateful for a while, and it was reasonable to give the items given by the first emperor to the life-saving benefactor." ”

King Qing's anger has not subsided, especially when he saw Mao Leyan's indifferent appearance, he always felt that she was acting, if she had wronged her, according to her temperament, she would have lost her temper a long time ago, where did she still sit so calmly? He said coldly: "The emperor is grateful for a while, but I am afraid that some people have other ideas, and they may think that the emperor is interested in her, so they wear the jade wrench finger with him and treat it as a token of love." "It's already very bitter to say this.

Mao Leyan is still not angry, she did not regard the jade wrench finger as a token of love, in her heart, the so-called token of love is the slow sheep and beautiful sheep carved by her. However, she had already thrown away that beautiful sheep, because in her heart, she had never expected to be with him, she was not a woman who was persistent in love, she knew that it was impossible, why bother thinking about it? Today's sadness is because she can't let go of it all, which doesn't mean that she has hope in her heart.

She said lightly: "Whatever you say, I know what I think in my heart." ”

The queen glanced at King Qing with some reproach, in fact, in the queen's heart, she couldn't figure out the relationship between her and King Qing, the emperor and King Jing, she knew that it was necessary to talk to Mao Leyan, so she said: "Lord, general, this palace and the divine doctor have some daughters to say, so you might as well go to another place to drink a bar." ”

Mo Li has always admired the queen, and when he saw the queen speak, he knew that the queen also saw the clue, so he pulled King Qing up and said: "Since the queen and Miss Mao have something to say, then we two men, let's find another place to go!" ”

King Qing still had a lot to ask Mao Leyan, but seeing that Mao Leyan's expression darkened, he knew that if he forced her again, she would not say anything, so he glared at her fiercely and said, "Don't think that this king is very rare about you, this king doesn't care about you at all." ”

Mo Li and the queen listened to King Qing's words, and they couldn't laugh or cry, there is no silver here, if you really don't care, why do you have to speak in such a sour tone? It's clear that I care too much to use this. The queen shook her head, "Okay, now that the enemy is present, let go of these children's personal affairs first." ”

Mao Leyan was actually very uncomfortable in her heart, she looked up at King Qing suddenly, and said: "I told you that the person I want to marry must be a single man, not you, and it will not be the emperor, you really don't need to say such things to me." ”

King Qing said coldly: "Single man? Is it King Jing? Your vision is really good, the people you choose are the elites of the royal family, they are high and powerful, and the phoenix has no treasure. ”

Mao Leyan also sneered when he heard such sarcasm, "You are wrong, I will not marry King Jing, even if I marry a beggar, I will not marry one of you." ”

King Qing made a green face and said angrily: "This king has never said that he wants to marry you, don't pretend to be high here, this king doesn't care if you marry a beggar or marry a splash?" What does it have to do with this king? ”

"Since it has nothing to do with you, what are you doing with so many questions? The door is over there, so I won't send it. Mao Leyan stood up suddenly, pointed to the door and said angrily.

Mo Li was a little surprised by Mao Leyan's attitude, although King Qing was sometimes childish, it was still very scary to start a temper, how could she dare to anger him like this? Isn't she afraid that she will be driven out of the door by King Qing, and her discordant plan will not be realized? And looking at her blushing face and thick neck, it seems that she is really angry. Either her acting skills are superb, or she was stabbed in the vulnerable area by King Qing, otherwise she would not lose her temper in front of him and the queen.

Inevitably caused a bigger turmoil, Mo Li hurriedly pulled King Qing away, King Qing wanted to say cruel words, but Mo Li whispered in his ear: "There are some words that you can't take back." King Qing calmed down at this time, glanced at Mao Leyan, and said to Mo Li: "Let's go, go drink with this king." ”

Mo Li saluted the queen and said, "Then, Weichen has taken his leave." ”

The queen nodded slightly, "General go slowly!" ”

After King Qing and Mo left, Mao Leyan gradually calmed down, and she said to the queen apologetically: "I was rude." ”

The queen looked at her strangely, "The way you get along with King Qing is strange. ”

Mao Leyan drank a glass of wine and sighed: "It's not strange, but I don't know how to get along with him." ”

The queen looked at her and asked, "What is the relationship between you and King Qing?" After hesitating for a moment, she added, "You and King Jing are not already ......."

Mao Leyan hurriedly interrupted: "No, don't talk nonsense, King Jing and I are pure friends." ”

"Friends?" The queen didn't believe it, "But that day in the palace, the palace clearly saw him holding your hand, and, according to his temperament, if he didn't really believe it, he wouldn't say it in front of so many people." ”

Mao Leyan smiled slightly, looked at the queen and said, "The queen also knows him very well. ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned her face away and said lightly: "I can't talk about understanding, I have known each other for so many years, and I will always know something." ”

Mao Leyan remembered King Jing talking about their past stories, and sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that the queen liked King Jing, but for the sake of her country, she had to marry someone she didn't like, sacrificing her own happiness. She is a very sensible person, and sane people are generally ruthless in the eyes of outsiders.

She lowered her voice, stopped beating around the bush, and said, "King Jing told me about your past. ”

The queen was slightly startled, looked at Mao Leyan nervously, and said, "Don't get me wrong, this palace has nothing to do with him." After a pause, she glanced at Mao Leyan and asked hesitantly, "What did he say?"

Mao Leyan said: "I didn't misunderstand, in fact, the story between you and him, as an outsider, I was also very moved when I heard it." ”

"Impressed?" The queen looked at her with some astonishment, "Aren't you with him anymore?" ”

Mao Leyan smiled: "I just said, I am just friends with him, and the queen is not careful." ”

The queen shook her head, "This palace doesn't believe it. ”

"Whether you believe it or not, this is true. In fact, the queen should also think that I left you here today because I have something to tell you. Mao Leyan's eyes were bright, and he picked up the hairpin and picked it up on the candle flame, and the candlelight soared, and Mao Leyan's face was red, very good-looking.

The queen poured a glass of wine for herself, and poured another glass for Mao Leyan, she held the wine glass, her white fingers rubbed back and forth on the edge of the glass, she looked at Mao Leyan, and said: "This palace knows, but you really don't have to take this palace and his past affairs to heart, this palace can swear that it has nothing to do with him anymore." The queen always felt that Mao Leyan and King Jing were a couple, because she knew King Jing too well, she knew that if he didn't care about a woman, he wouldn't take her back to the house, let alone find out the relationship with that woman in front of the queen mother. It's just that she still has reservations about Mao Leyan, after all, her relationship with the emperor Qingwang is unclear, if her mentality is to show her charm among so many men, then she will drive her away at all costs.
