Chapter 160: The Lord of the Liu Alliance enters the palace
"This wine is very strong, not suitable for women!" Mo Li frowned, the candlelight was faintly reflected on his handsome face, with a soft and elegant demeanor.
Mao Leyan smiled and said, "I really don't know if it's wrong or right to enter the palace." ”
"Wrong and right, now there is no turning back." Mo Li's face was gloomy, and he said, "You shouldn't have been involved, but there are many things that can't be explained now." "It can only be said that the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
Mao Leyan also felt that he was impulsive at the time, only to hear that he was injured, and heard that there was a spy in the palace, so he came in without thinking much about everything, and now that he thinks about it, even if there is no her, Mo Li They can catch this traitor, and she came, it seems that it is a superfluous move.
The two drank quietly and didn't say anything more, both of them seemed to have a lot to say, but they also knew that it was useless to say anything now, and everything was going in the direction they didn't want to go.
The news that Mo Li had drunk all night in the Zhaoyang Palace soon reached Liu Yan's ears, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but when discussing things in the imperial study, he still didn't say anything to ask Mo Li. However, after all the state affairs were discussed, Mo Li told him: "Last night, I went to Zhaoyang Palace. ”
Liu gradually said quietly: "Oh, I know. ”
Mo Li looked at Liu Yan's expression, "The emperor doesn't ask me what I am doing in Zhaoyang Palace?" ”
Liu gradually looked straight at him, "Then what are you going to do in Zhaoyang Palace?" He didn't want to ask, but since he said it, he also wanted to know why he went to Zhaoyang Hall late at night.
Mo Li said in a deep voice: "She's sad." ”
Liu gradually was stunned, her face darkened suddenly, yes, she would be sad because she had him in her heart. It's just that whether she is sad or not, what does it have to do with Mo Li? He didn't ask, for fear of hurting the relationship between him and Mo Li, over the years, Mo Li has done his best for the court and for him, and he will not have a grudge against him because of a woman.
After Mo Li's words came out, he also regretted a little, last night's wine has not woken up yet, his mind is dizzy, and when he was discussing things, he always remembered the wry smile on Mao Leyan's lips, he began to regret it, regretted setting such a trap for her to get in, perhaps, she stayed in Qingwang Mansion quietly, and could live a peaceful and simple life. But now it's too late.
He said: "I'm just afraid that if she is too upset, it will affect the overall situation." After all, she still keeps in touch with Liu Zezhong now. ”
This explanation did not win Liu Yan's trust, but Liu Yan didn't say anything, only said lightly: "I will go to see her." In fact, he was just saying, these days, Zhaoyang Hall was the place he wanted to go to every day, but he didn't even have the courage to take a step in. Afraid to see that she cares, afraid to see that she doesn't care, contradictions and tangled moods haunt him every day.
After Liu Yiyi was pampered, she was depressed and sent a letter to her family, although the words reported safety, but her brother Liu Mengzhu still saw that it was inappropriate, so she took two disciples into the palace to see her on this day.
The lord of Liu Meng first went to meet the emperor, although he is the overlord in the martial arts, but he is very respectful to the emperor, especially now that the two are related, although they have no feelings, they are more intimate than the monarch and ministers.
The leader of the Liu League was named the general of pacification, responsible for encircling and suppressing the chaotic party, and now it is quite effective, and it is estimated that in about half a year, it will basically be able to eliminate the chaotic party near the capital. The chaotic parties have been among the people for a long time, and it is impossible to pacify all the chaotic parties at once, so they can only defeat the headquarters first, and then slowly clean up the other remnants, which can be regarded as clearing a major threat to the dynasty.
Liu gradually hosted a banquet to entertain him, and ordered many ministers to accompany him. The concubines in the palace naturally also attended, and Liu Yiyi dressed up to show the most beautiful and joyful side as much as possible. As a woman who marries all the women outside, she reports good news but not bad news to her mother's family, she knows that her brother has always been shrewd and will definitely see the clues, so she showed a happy smile as much as possible at the dinner, and her eyebrows were affectionate, and occasionally looked at Liu Gradually. Liu Gradually, his eyes were always absent-minded, and he fell on Mao Leyan everywhere. The lord of the Liu League also noticed Mao Leyan, who had never made a sound from pouring himself a drink, frowned, he stared at her sharply with sharp eyes, and then asked the eunuch who was serving the cloth next to him, the eunuch told him the identity of Mao Leyan, he snorted coldly, and suddenly raised his glass and said: "Liu heard that Concubine Le Niangniang is a miracle doctor in the world, and he has saved the Queen Mother before, Liu Mou's most respected person in this life is such a capable person, especially Concubine Le Niangniang also looks so good-looking, not inferior to Concubine Xian Niangniang, it can be said that she is both talented and beautiful." I heard that Niangniang is still the righteous daughter of the ancient prime minister, and the ancient prime minister is really blessed, there is an extra daughter of the imperial concubine for no reason, which is really a gift from heaven. I just don't know if Niangniang has changed her surname to Gu? Otherwise, even if the mother adds glory, she will not be able to shine the lintel for the ancient family. ”
These words sounded like a thorn, and even the ancient prime minister was sarcastic, and the ministers changed their complexions when they heard the words, and the concubines were also silent. The concubines did not have any hostility towards Mao Leyan, after all, she was not favored, and she knew how to be a person, and she was familiar with all the palaces earlier, and now she was so insulted by the lord of the Liu League, she was angry, and said that he was a savage in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't even understand etiquette, so he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to a Liu someone.
After listening to the words of the lord of the Liu League, the ancient prime minister couldn't help but turn red, stood up and said solemnly: "The general's words are wrong, the old minister and the mother are fortunate to be father and daughter, it is a gift from God, I am grateful in my heart, how can I say the common saying of the glorious lintel?" The mother is well, which is what the ancient family is looking forward to. ”
When Mao Leyan heard this, she was really moved, she knew that the prime minister was stable, and rarely said such things, she must have a feeling for her in her heart, but since she recognized the ancient prime minister, she only guarded this one position, and never really contacted the feelings, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in her heart.
Liu Yiyi saw that her brother was stingy with Mao Leyan, and couldn't help but wink, Liu Mengzhu drank a few glasses of wine, and the wine was in full swing, and when he saw Liu Yan's face with displeasure, he was even more angry, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of sarcasm, "Prime Minister said this, there is really a suspicion of slapping horses, people just want to step on the name of your ancient family and climb up, you are good, I really think that you are a father-daughter relationship, and you are not afraid of people laughing when you say it." Concubine Le must be tired of dealing with these people who are in a messy relationship, right? Now Niangniang is not the concubine of the palace in the past, let alone the concubine of the Mao family, she is worth a hundred times, who doesn't want to come to her relatives? Isn't it? ”
Seeing that the emperor was about to speak, Liu Yiyi stood up abruptly and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense." ”
The lord of the Liu League loves this sister the most, and now that he sees that she is angry, he can't say anything more, he only glanced at Mao Leyan, and still said arrogantly: "Concubine Le, if there is anything wrong with what the minister said, please forgive me, the minister is such a rough person, he won't say anything good, don't be surprised." ”
Mao Leyan smiled slightly, "The general is rough and heroic, he is the person who this palace admires, how can this palace be strange?" Moreover, the general also reminded the palace that after entering the palace, he really forgot to be filial to his father. She turned her eyes to look at Prime Minister Gu and said softly: "Father, my daughter is here to give you a drink, thank you for your father's love and care." ”
Prime Minister Gu smiled softly, got up and raised his glass, "Xie Niangniang." "A thousand words, all in words. Especially at this moment, saying too much will only make people picky.
The two of them drank this cup, even if it resolved this unpleasantness.
King Qing and Mo Li were both present, their faces were calm, they didn't say a word, and their eyes were fixed on Mao Leyan. Since King Qing sent Mao Leyan into the palace, he felt sorry for her, and he didn't dare to look for her, from Mo Li's mouth, he knew that Mao Leyan was not happy, remembering that when she first came to the palace, she was wantonly against him, not afraid of heaven and earth, and she always had a smile on her face, and now she has not seen her for a while, the whole person has lost weight, and her eyes are even bigger and godless. There is a pain in my heart that slowly erodes away, and everything is helpless. Now that she is being attacked, he really wants to stand up for her, but once he speaks, what will the people in the court say about her? She was born in Qingwangfu, and everyone will only think that he has a personal affair with her, which is not beneficial to her.
Mao Leyan looked at Emperor Liu Gradual, Liu Gradual's hands were full of green tendons, it could be seen that he was angry in his heart, and his eyes looked away for some reason, but the afterglow was still fixed on the Lord of the Liu League. Mao Leyan sighed in his heart, as an emperor, he also had his helplessness.
The dinner ended without a hitch. Liu gradually got drunk, but in fact, he didn't know whether he was really drunk or fake, in short, Li Yuan helped him to leave the table first. The leader of the Liu League said to Liu Yiyi: "Your husband is drunk, why are you still sitting here?" Hurry up and wait. Liu Yiyi glanced at the queen, who was standing up and preparing to leave the table, her face unchanged. Liu Yiyi sighed and said, "Brother, you are here to make trouble for me." ”
The Lord of the Liu Alliance said rudely: "Let you go quickly, don't talk nonsense." My brother can't let you be his only wife, but at least he has you in his heart. ”
Liu Yiyi had no choice but to leave, she walked up to Mao Leyan and said softly: "My brother is drunk, don't worry about him." ”
Mao Leyan smiled lightly, "Concubine Xian is too worried, let's go." ”
Liu Yiyi hummed and left with some sadness.
The queen walked to Mao Leyan's side, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and gave her an encouraging smile, Mao Leyan smiled back, the two had a brief exchange of eyes, the queen looked soothed, smiled and led people away.
After the banquet dispersed, Mao Leyan led Xiao Shu Fan and Lawei back to Zhaoyang Palace. King Qing chased after him and shouted, "Xiao Yan! ”
Mao Leyan stopped and looked back at him, the lights in the palace garden were unknown, the two looked at each other by the light of the lantern, Mao Leyan said: "Go back, I'm fine." ”
King Qing felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say to her, so he had to sigh, turned around and walked silently, walked a few steps, suddenly turned back, and said in a deep voice, "Whenever you want to leave, this king will take you away." ”
Xu is now weak in his heart, so he is easily knocked down by sweet words. Mao Leyan suddenly burst into tears, choked up and nodded, and turned to leave!
