Chapter 35: I Never Doubted Him
Jinling City is prosperous and lively, and there are countless post houses. Mo Yinluo came to Xingwangfu for the New Year's Friend.
"Yo! Miss Mo is here, please come in. Muya saw Mo Yinluo, who had not yet entered the door, and greeted him politely.
"Muya, I don't know how much princes and generals have come and gone recently, but there are horses for me to rent?" Mu Ya smiled angrily: "What did Miss Mo say, even though there are many tenants recently, naturally I can't forget Miss Mo." Mo Yinluo smiled and returned the wooden teeth.
"Smack!" It seemed to be the sound of a tea cup shattering, which immediately attracted Mo Yinluo's attention. I saw a large bag of luggage thrown from a fence in the attic, and thrown directly from the second floor to the living room lobby, startling the guests below. Then you can hear a scolding, "What kind of inn do you live in if you don't have money, my post house doesn't make money!" Get out of here with your little girl! ”
"The shopkeeper is doing well, our mother and daughter have nowhere to go, you ......can see if the house money is delayed for a few more days."
"How many more days? I don't have any guests, do I? People are waiting to live! Get out! Suddenly, a mother and daughter in tattered clothes were driven down from the attic to pick up the large bag of clothes that had just been thrown away.
Mo Yinluo looked at it and felt a chill in his heart, and asked, "Muya, who is this?" How did it end up like this? Muya shook his head, "This woman and this little girl moved into the hotel a few days ago, and then they didn't pay the house money and didn't leave, and now the shopkeeper personally drove them away." ”
Mo Yinluo's brows tightened, "How can it be so ......?"
"Miss Mo, let's leave this matter alone, Muya will lead you to the horse, Mo ...... Ay? Muya was about to leave, but saw that the figure that was still standing next to him disappeared completely.
"Madame, are you alright?" Mo Yinluo hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd, helping the woman and the little girl who fell to the ground.
"Thank you, girl......" She looked up at Mo Yinluo, stunned for a long time, "Mo ...... Miss Mo? ”
"Madame knows me?"
"Ah...... Miss Mo and Lord Qin of the Wangfu solved the Jinling Destruction Case and the 'Four Plans' of Beiping, and the case was decided quickly, and I have heard of it. Mo Yinluo gave her a smile when she heard this, "Mrs. Zhang, I wonder if you can go to a place with Yinluo?" The woman was shocked, and was shocked that it was Mo Yinluo who had just called herself, how did she know......
Mo Yinluo seemed to have something hidden in his heart, but he didn't talk about it. She had the courage to beckon Muya to prepare a carriage for them, and led Mrs. Zhang and the girl she was carrying with her into the carriage. After getting into the carriage, Mo Yinluo was silent, her face seemed to be smiling, and she kept looking up at the carriage window, which was exceptionally silent, and even the girl was sitting in a proper manner.
"Miss Mo......" Mrs. Zhang seemed to hesitate for a long time before calling her.
"What's the matter with Mrs. Zhang?"
"Why doesn't Miss Mo speak?"
The smile on Mo Yinluo's face didn't go, "What does Madam want Yinluo to say?" ”
"You...... How did you know that I was the Mrs. Zhang you said I was? ”
"Mrs. Zhang's nobility and open-mindedness between her eyebrows." Knowing that Mo Yin Luo was attentive, she smiled, "Miss Mo don't make fun of her old body." ”
"My lord went to Jingzhou a few days ago to bring back Mrs. Zhang, who had gone to join her family, and brought her little daughter to the inn where Xingwang Mansion had been going for a long time. Moreover, the 'four plans' that Mrs. Zhang just mentioned are the case of Beiping, and the people of Jinling are afraid that they do not know, but it is common for Mr. Zhang, who is in Beiping, to hear about it. ”
"I see......" she spoke staccato and lowered her head slightly. Mo Yinluo seemed to see a little sadness surging in her heart, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The sun was blazing, and she saw a beam of sunlight shining into the carriage, and Mrs. Zhang turned sideways at some point, and a light reflected directly on Mo Yinluo's face, stabbing her to block her eyes.
"Miss Mo, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah...... Nothing. ”
Mo Yinluo's gaze fell on the jade pendant on Mrs. Zhang's waist, the somewhat familiar snow-white jade pendant Mo Yinluo was somewhat familiar, she seemed to have seen it somewhere. Mrs. Zhang has been poor since she went into exile, and she can't even eat enough, where can she get a jade pendant? If there is, it should be done as soon as possible for food, clothing, housing and transportation. But she didn't, where did she come from when she attached so much importance to this thing?
"Mrs. Zhang."
“?”
"You...... Maybe show me the jade pendant on your waist? ”
Mrs. Zhang pressed the jade pendant slightly on the surface of the jade pendant with one hand, and her expression was a little embarrassed. "Mother! No! Don't give it to others! The girl who was still sitting next to her heard Mo Yinluo say this, and pounced forward violently, protecting the jade pendant. Mrs. Zhang carefully pushed her away, and finally made a decision. "Nothing. Miss Mo is not a person with a good heart, Miss Mo, give. She handed it to herself. Mo Yinluo looked at it carefully, and the style of the semi-circular hollow jade pendant in his hand was a little old, and it seemed to be a long time ago. But the whole jade pendant is snow-white and transparent, without a little impurity, it is obviously very precious, and the feel is also excellent. Look again, only to see a row of small words engraved on the side wall: jade phoenix descending from the sky, Ruiguo Xingbang.
Mo Yinluo's expression was a little strange, and his face was embarrassed. "Miss Mo......"
"I'm fine, Mrs. Zhang, can you promise me one thing?"
"Miss Mo, please speak."
She returned the jade pendant to Mrs. Zhang, and the seriousness in her eyes made Mrs. Zhang look serious. "Don't give this jade pendant to anyone, and don't let anyone know that it exists, otherwise...... It will invite death. ”
“?!”
Mo Yinluo arranged a good place for Mrs. Zhang and her young daughter, which was a small wooden house built by her father on the outskirts of the city, and now moved into Jinling City and no one lived there. Although it is a bit old, it is a relatively good place to live, and it is not simple.
The sky was overcast, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door, followed by a cacophony of calls. "Miss Mo! Mo girl! "Miss Mo, slow down! Don't fall! Mo Yinluo closed the courtyard door in a panic when he entered the West Garden, and said impatiently to them, "Don't follow me!" After speaking, he closed the door of the courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Yinluo was strange, he had just come back from Mrs. Zhang, and there were still a few miles to Xingwang's Mansion at night, so he attracted an unknown maid who said that he wanted to serve by his side, serve tea and water, and Mo Yinluo hid them all the way without stopping.
She pushed open the door, but at that moment she saw a wisp of white clothes sitting calmly on the coffee table drinking tea.
"Why is Your Highness here?" Mo Yinluo stood in front of the door, his expression was not very surprised, and he seemed to have a knowingly inquiring tone. Duan Xichen was silent, and Mo Yinluo stepped in and sat opposite him on the coffee table. "Why do you suddenly have to ask those maids to serve me? You know I don't like to be served. ”
In the face of Mo Yinluo's questioning, he calmly, "How do you know that those people were sent by me?" ”
"I don't often go out of the palace on weekdays, if I go out, I will definitely go to investigate the case, and this time I entered the palace to investigate the case, only the people in the Xingwang Mansion know, and those maids followed me on the way back, and ...... He even dared to follow him to Xingwang's Mansion, but on weekdays, His Royal Highness ordered not to let idle people harass here, if it wasn't arranged by His Royal Highness, who would have the guts? Mo Yinluo said with a straight head, only to see an arc at the corner of his mouth in the gloom. Then he got up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door and shouted to the maids outside the door, and ordered, "Let's go." ”
"Your Highness is not leaving?" Mo Yinluo said this when he saw Duan Xichen coming back.
"Why am I leaving?"
Well, this is his mansion and I have no power.
"You didn't enter the palace today?"
Mo Yinluo was taken aback fiercely, "I...... Also, how did Your Highness know that I didn't enter the palace? ”
"It's too early, I'm afraid you'll come back before you even go out of Jinling." Alas! He was right. "Who did you meet?"
“……”
Seeing that she didn't speak, Duan Xichen said again, "You don't believe me? Mo Yinluo saw that his lips stopped and suddenly spoke, "Mrs. Zhang." His face sank a little and he replied.
Mo Yinluo hid something in his heart, and didn't dare to confess it to Duan Xichen.
He guessed something and changed the subject. "Seven years ago, Xiao Yu and his wife took Princess Yufeng away to help Shen Yi, and Shen Yi also used Princess Yufeng they brought to prepare to threaten Sun Guifei, and used Sun Guifei's power to help her rebel, of course, without Sun Guifei's knowledge. Why, seven years ago, in the wind and moon, the world was in turmoil, the situation was turbulent, he Shen Yi was sent by his father to fight on the frontier, and Sun Guifei also died of grief due to the loss of her children, and she thought of being a dead soul. So far, the chess set planned by Shen Yi has lost all the games. ”
Mo Yinluo raised his head and looked at Duan Xichen who was standing there and spoke carefully, and he was fascinated by it, only to see him turn around and look at her, "And Xiao Su ...... It is Xiao Yan's biological father. Mo Yinluo was shocked when he heard him say this, "Young Master Xiao?!" ”
Duan Xichen had a mystery in his eyes, and he couldn't see through it, couldn't tell it, couldn't see through it, couldn't see through it.
"That's all I can tell you now, the rest of ...... I'm sure you've figured it out. ”
"The matter...... Why didn't Your Highness tell me before? ”
Hearing this, Duan Xichen looked at Mo Yinluo lightly, "Are you sure...... You wanted me to tell you about it? Or rather...... What if you know it today, what if you know it? For some reason, he seemed to have something to say, and Mo Yinluo was flustered a lot in his heart, not calmly and calmly, or he couldn't settle down.
"Mo Yinluo, you remember, no matter what, don't let yourself become someone else's pawn." He said this sentence that made Mo Yinluo tremble and strode away, not far from the door, he met Sizhu who stepped in, just cast a look, but he didn't know why.
Although Mo Yinluo was sitting here calmly, Duan Xichen's words had already disturbed her to calm down. Why did he suddenly tell himself so much, and why did he say such strange things? Does he have any unspeakable secrets in his heart, he can't tell them directly, he can only pretend to tell himself calmly.
Under the flickering candlelight, the corner of Mo Yinluo's dress that was tightly grasped by herself could be clearly seen.
"Yinluo."
"Silk? What are you doing here? ”
Sizhu was still puzzled by Duan Xichen's gaze, "I saw Lord Qin just now, are you talking about something?" ”
"Hmm. My lord has just discussed some cases with me, and there have been a lot of things recently, and some of them can't get out of the way. Mo Yinluo's gaze swept over Sizhu's waist, and then there was nothing. Recent...... Something strange about adults. This made Sizhu a little surprised, "How do you say this?" ”
"First let Ziyang protect me every step of the way, and then arranged a maid for me to serve. It's really not like his usual style. ”
Sizhu put down the pot of dishes in his hand, and said earnestly: "You ...... him Wary? ”
Mo Yinluo's heart trembled, she really hadn't thought of this.
"Yinluo...... Don't you trust Lord Qin? ”
Mo Yinluo looked at the candlelight swaying in front of him faintly, and the light yarn on the side moved with the wind. Suddenly, her expression darkened a little, "How could I not trust my lords?" When I first entered the Xingwang Mansion, he gave me the 'Four Plans' with confidence, and he would take my feelings into account in everything, help me again and again, guide me, and even save me at the cost of his own injury......" Her voice echoed in the dim room, trembling slightly, but there was a little sadness in her words, "I would rather not believe in myself than not believe in him......"
It's just that she thought that she had already guessed Duan Xichen and understood everything about him, but now it seems that it is just emptiness.
