Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beginning of Blooming Pavilion
"Who?"
Duan Xichen got up and walked to the bookcase on the side, took out a copy, opened it and said with a solemn face: "Shen Yi, when he is a general, is scheming and ambitious. Seven years ago, he was sent by his father to fight on the frontier to stabilize the dynasty, and the border was full of war, and he did not return to the dynasty after seven years. Tonight he returned to his homeland. On several occasions, on the way to the battlefield, he formed a party for personal gain, burning, killing and plundering the people along the border, and was ruthless. He paused suddenly, "Back then, at the age of twenty, he was already calculating, and because of his young talent, he was named the general of Zhenguo by his father, who was newly enthroned as king. galloping officialdom in the country and colluding with traitorous ministers. During his father's reign of only a few months, he once used Zuo Chen to express his dissatisfaction with his father, so that he threatened his father's imperial power. Hearing this, Mo Yinluo was shocked, "That's ...... Why didn't Your Majesty punish him? It is not impossible for such a person to be removed from official positions. β
"No, you can't. He held the power of the army, and if so, he would definitely have a head-on conflict with his father, and even an army to fight back. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Therefore, this person has always been a stone hanging in the heart of my father, and he cannot defend or attack."
"So what? Are you waiting for him to overthrow His Majesty's government? Duan Xichen looked embarrassed, sighed, and said, "This king has been searching for evidence that he has two hearts for his father and emperor all these years, but there is no conclusive evidence to cure him. He slowly put down the book again and walked to Mo Yinluo, "Mo Yinluo, he Shen Yi has always been with Lord Mo and the well water does not interfere with the river water, this time he wants to go to your father's birthday banquet, there must be a purpose." My father has been very serious about Lord Mo recently, and I think he either wants your father's life to be doomed, or he wants to use him to become his assistant in seeking power and profit. So I want to ask you to help me, in addition to this chaotic thief, but also to help Lord Mo. β
Please? The lord actually said to me, please word.
Mo Yinluo looked at Duan Xichen in front of him, and what his eyes contained at the moment was trust and affirmation for her. "What did you say? Yin Luo has entered the Xingwang Mansion since he entered the Xingwang Mansion, not only the people of the Mofu but also the people of the Xingwang Mansion. Even if you don't say it, for the sake of Your Majesty's imperial power, and for the people to no longer suffer from the war, someone like this Yin Luo will definitely try his best to save him. Needless to say, I will do my best to help them. β
may be because of her bravery and kindness, or generosity and sincerity, Duan Xichen has double trust in the girl in front of her.
"Then my lord, Yin Luo will help you work, can you give a discount of seven or eight for the rest of the expenses?"
"Nope."
The silent night was terrible, and even the wind seemed to cry. "Da-da-" A slow step entered this empty areaβGuiyun Pavilion. There was a light rain in the sky, Gu Xiazhen walked in front of Guiyun Pavilion with an umbrella, his steps were very light, as if he didn't want to break the tranquility here. "Nannai, she has left, what does it have to do with being quiet or not here?" He seemed to be comforting himself, not to think, not to think. But he unconsciously entered the palace and came here, and the picture of his first meeting with her came to his mind, passing by, falling into the water, meeting, and acquaintance. These lingered in his mind, and in the face of the sound of rain for a long time, he saw in his eyes a woman dressed in red and red sitting on the railing in front of him, a white hand sticking out of the eaves, and then the raindrops falling from the eaves. She looked at the raindrops falling in the air curiously, suddenly looked back, and smiled at him, "Nine Princes." Suddenly, the figure disappeared, and Gu Xiazhen's heart jumped hard.
"Wan'er ......" looked at it again, and there was still her own figure, and there was no one around.
Even if they are thousands of miles apart, even if they are burdened with the grudges of the previous generation. But where the heart is connected, the two are still sincere for this. How can these estrangements cut off the love between the two?
"Ninth Prince, does Wan'er have to wait until the next life to be with you?" Bi Wanyan carefully took out the jade pendant that Gu Xiazhen gave her. She has never loved one thing so much, and she is inseparable from her every day. At this moment, she wanted to see him so much, but she couldn't, she couldn't in this life, she didn't want to kill him, so she could only not see him, which was also the best ending for her and him.
"Nine princes, may you find a good person, and a beautiful woman will always be with you." Tossing and turning, forgetting the endless moonlight, the so-called words of the men and women who love each other in the world, never abandon, life and death depend on each other, she is afraid that she will not be able to do it.
"The miserable dream of the rain and the wind at night, silently chanting for the king's death."
Three days later.
Today is the birthday of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Shang Shumo, Lord Mo Lu Jing, and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and the dignitaries in Jinling City have come to visit, and it is very lively.
"Wow! There are a lot of people in the house today! Mo Li'er was so excited that she jumped down from the attic alive, followed by a maid behind her in a panic. Second Miss, slow down! There are a lot of people in the house today, don't touch it! β
"It's okay, it's okay!" She had already taken the maid's words as a deaf ear, and ran to the front yard in high spirits.
At this time, Lord Mo was even more busy, and when he entered the mansion, he greeted one person, which was also busy enough. Wait until these two show up.
"Daddy!"
"Luo'er, are you back?"
"Well, come and celebrate your old man's birthday."
Mo Lujing quipped: "Dad thought that you, a famous detective, had a lot of things to do all day long, and he didn't have time to come to my birthday banquet!" β
"Why, isn't my daughter back?"
"Good...... Good ......"
When he saw Duan Xichen on the side, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Palace...... Your Royal Highness ......" Duan Xichen made a look, "Lord Mo, don't be too panicked, I'm here for a banquet this time, just treat me as Qin Feng of Xingwangfu." Mo Lu nodded, looked at Mo Yinluo, and saw her smile slightly. He never knew that Mo Yinluo couldn't go to Xingwangfu to do something, and became a Jinling detective, and even recruited the prince, which surprised him.
"I can't imagine that your Mofu is still so magnificent."
"Still?" She was obsessed with a word in Duan Xichen's words. "Your Excellency has been here before?" I saw the corners of his mouth rise slightly, "I don't remember it." When I was seven years old, I came to Mofu and saw you. I remember crying because your brother was injured in the martial arts gym. That day, you hid under the phoenix blue flowers, with tears in your eyes, and I was really distressed when I looked at it. Do you remember...... What did I tell you? β
Hearing this, Mo Yinluo's eyes suddenly lowered. Five-year-old Mo Yinluo...... If it weren't me, how would I know you met me? And how do you know that you are with me...... No, what did you say to her?
"Your Excellency, forgive you, Yinluo...... Ignorance. β
Duan Xichen turned around, faced Mo Yinluo, and looked at her very seriously, "Only those who are not convinced can soar above the Nine Heavens like a phoenix." Those who don't cry easily can be like a phoenix, just waiting for the phoenix to come. Both, it should be called a phoenix. β
"Phoenix?"
"I've met you in the past few months, and I'm very relieved to see that you don't admit defeat and don't cry." Looking at Duan Xichen's expression, it seemed that he was saying from the heart. I don't know what kind of temperament Mo Yinluo was before, I don't know what kind of person she is, I can't continue her life, I can only rely on my own character to live for her, I don't know what she went through before, I can only forget it. So, my lord, I really don't know how to answer your words.
"Perhaps, it was influenced by your words before!" A bitter smile appeared on her face, her deep eyes were full of sadness and loss, endless sadness, and her eyes looked at Duan Xichen gloomily.
"You ......" Duan Xichen looked at Mo Yinluo a little strangely.
"Your Excellency...... Come with me to the atrium. β
"Hmm."
"Sister!" As soon as I entered the hall, I just collided with Mo Li'er. "Why are you here now?"
"Guys? How do you know adults are coming? Mo Yinluo looked at her with a smile.
"Hehe, I won't tell you."
"Imp. See! What did I bring you? "I don't know when, there is an extra string of sugar gourds in her hand." Wow! Thank you, sister. β
"My lord, come with me to the attic. Here's where we can find someone. β
"Okay."
The two were about to leave, but saw Mo Li'er grab the corner of Duan Xichen's clothes, "Brother Qin, where are you going?" Don't you play with Li'er? Mo Yinluo was taken aback, "Li'er, don't be rude!" β
Seeing Mo Li'er's pitiful appearance, Duan Xichen leaned down slightly, smiled gently, and stroked her head, "Li'er, I have something important to do with your sister, and I'll come back to you when I'm done, okay?" β
"Oh...... Brother Qin...... You talk and count, come back quickly. β
"Okay." Duan Xichen seemed to be a different person in Mo Yinluo's eyes, and the extremely heartwarming scene at this time made her forget it. This extremely gentle Duan Xichen seemed to be a big brother at this time, with endless stars hidden in his eyes, and he seemed to touch the warm sunshine from his side.
How did he ...... Suddenly so gentle? 10,000-year-old iceberg, has it melted?
"Huh? Sister, why are you blushing? Hehβ" Mo Li'er smirked.
"Talent...... Not at all! Eat your rock sugar gourd and go. My lord, I ...... Let's go. β
ββ¦β¦β
Walking up the attic wooden ladder with her steps, she didn't say a word, and walked in front of him very quickly, Duan Xichen didn't know why, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"My lord, are you sure Shen Yi will come this time?" Mo Yinluo and Duan Xichen sat on the coffee table, looking at the noise of people downstairs, and said.
"He said that he wanted to get close to Master Mo, or he wanted to harm him, and this birthday banquet was a great opportunity."
"Oh." Mo Yinluo looked at Duan Xichen in front of him, and always felt that something was missing. "Ah...... My lord, I'll pour you tea. "Yes, he likes to drink tea the most, and I always see a cup of tea next to him.
"No need, just right, quit tea addiction."
"Huh?" Belch...... He is indeed addicted to drinking tea like this.
"Sister Yue'er, look, there are so many young ladies in this Mofu today, and none of them can be as beautiful as you!"
"yes, yes! You are the peerless of elegance. β
"It's a pity that the previous name of the first beauty in the capital was taken up by that Mo Yinluo, and she was also wronged by my sister."
Ouyang Yue'er smiled charmingly, "How can she compare to me, she is just a wild flower in the mountains." β
"yes, yes! Sister Yue'er, you are a rich peony, she can't compare. β
How did you really meet this person? It seems that Li Er is right, this Ouyang Yue'er was indeed at odds with Mo Yinluo before, alas! Listening to this narcissistic tone, you know that this guy was born in the harem and decided to be powerful. It's exactly the same tone as the villains in the TV series. Forget it, just treat it as if you didn't see it.
Duan Xichen saw the helplessness on Mo Yinluo's face, and he didn't know what she thought when she heard this.
"The white peony lives in seclusion in the world and does not compete with the group of flowers, vainly self-effeminate, the peony is delicate and rich in the world, and it is appreciated by others in the past, so it shines, until the world is greasy, but it is still lonely and self-appreciative, and arrogant." Duan Xichen didn't know when such a sentence came out of his mouth. Mo Yinluo knew that he was talking for himself, a little surprised, but also a little happy.
"Adult......" thought slightly, "Huh? When did I lose myself? β
"A young lady pretending to be a little eunuch and avoiding others is not arrogant."
"I ...... "I'm proud!"
Ouyang Yue'er's face changed greatly when she saw Duan Xichen say this, but when she saw Duan Xichen's peerless and handsome appearance, she felt a little more admiration in her heart. In a blink of an eye, I saw Mo Yinluo sitting on the side, and his face turned white. "You...... Mo Yinluo? You're not dead?! Mo Yinluo sat there and smiled evilly, "Thanks to Miss Ouyang, Yinluo - live well." β
"Yes...... But I obviously saw you fall from the attic, how can I ...... There's also a pool of blood! β
Probably this guy didn't go out all day, and at that time, my resurrection incident caused a lot of trouble in Jinling City, and she didn't even know it.
"Oh? Is it? I'm afraid I have someone I can't bear in the yang world. So I came to her. That person - is it Ouyang girl? Mo Yinluo stepped forward suddenly, and his gloomy face made Ouyang Yue'er almost fall.
"Hello...... Xi'er, I'm a little uncomfortable, help me go back. β
"Yes...... It's ......" After speaking, several people left in a panic with gloomy faces.
Seeing this, Duan Xichen couldn't help but smile lightly, "Mo Yinluo, you should be enough." β
"So what? I don't want to...... Hurt her again. β
"Who is she?"
"It's Ouyang Yue'er who told you before, she almost killed me last time."
Duan Xichen's gaze stayed on Mo Yinluo, "In the future...... These people don't come and go. β
"Hmm."
