Chapter 14: The Scepter Is Stolen
Bi Wanyan's matter Mo Yinluo has always been haunted, and it is expected that she will not really attack the Nine Princes, the Nine Princes are relatives of the emperor, and if something happens, it will definitely cause a big sensation. Adults usually have the best relationship with the Nine Princes, and if something happens to him, adults must be very sad. If it doesn't end here, if Bi Wanyan really does it, she will definitely be arrested and sentenced to death. I want to murder the emperor! That's okay, isn't it just a little bit like the emperor?
Noon Gate.
A carriage and a horse were parked in front of the noon gate, and a small brocade guard stood there. Looking at this, it should be someone from Xingwangfu.
"Liji, Miss Mo, I came to pick you up on the orders of my lord." Jin Yi Wei said.
What? Adults are like gods! How did he know we were going back today? And my lord, he finally has a good conscience, and finally knows how tired I am every time I walk back to Xingwangfu, and finally knows how to send someone to pick us up in a carriage. Wait, horses...... Horse...... Carriage? Since the last time I went to check the "Four Plans" and vomited in a carriage, I have never dared to take a carriage, but if you don't take a carriage, how far is it!
"Uh...... That, I'll ride a horse! Brother Feng, you go to take the carriage. ”
"Miss Mo's daughter, how to explain to adults in case she falls to her subordinates." Feng Liji said this, Mo Yinluo was embarrassed.
"Non-existent. It's okay, it's okay. Because I want to blow the wind...... Hehe...... "I don't want to just tell my ugly things!" The brocade guards who came to pick us up actually smiled. Why is he laughing? Right! The last time I checked the "Four Plans", he was definitely there! Well, definitely! So laugh at me.
"Just miss."
Mo Yinluo smirked slightly, and then awkwardly helped the saddle and got on the horse, somewhat frightened for the first time on horseback. Suddenly, the horse let out a long roar, scared himself half to death, and slapped it directly on the chest, almost crying without tears.
"Drive!" Mo Yinluo beat the horse and pulled the reins away. The horse ran without thinking. The wind is really comfortable blowing, the hair is dancing in the wind, and it is the wind and the wind that blows in the face. Sure enough, this speed will make you feel good.
Mo Yinluo seems to have forgotten one thing - she can't ride a horse. Just ran along the horse and ran around on his own, running on the street and hitting several stalls one after another, making the bosses shout and curse a few times. The horse ran so unscrupulously, Mo Yinluo panicked at this time, patted the reins of the horse indiscriminately, and with a hard force, the horse roared, and the jumping high finally stopped, but she fell off the horse because of the horse's mania. This fall was called a pain, and my feet cramped. And just at this moment, a carriage came running out of nowhere, and the horse seemed to be frightened, and rushed towards him, rampage.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The coachman shouted at Mo Yinluo. And at this time, where can Mo Yinluo still stand up? Her feet were completely weak, so she had to sit still, rubbing her feet with her hands, and the carriage was still running towards her uncontrollably, and there were still five meters, three meters, one meter. "Ahh The passing of the carriage brought up dust, and a burst of dust made the passers-by unable to open their eyes, and in the nick of time, in the midst of her despair, a hand suddenly appeared around her waist and quickly hugged her to the side. He leaped up and rode the horse that Mo Yinluo was riding above, and chased after the runaway carriage. Mo Yinluo was stunned, standing in place and looking at the back of the horse that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but look stupid.
When will he return? There was only one question on her mind at the moment.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves came to her ears and ran towards her. At the moment when he was about to pass her, he stretched out his hand to him, and Mo Yinluo stretched out his hand tremblingly, and at that moment, she seemed to fly. But by the time she reacted, she was safely seated on horseback, leaning directly into his arms. His hand gripped her tightly, for fear she would fall off her horse again. Gradually, after the figures of the two disappeared, everyone dispersed one by one.
The horse continued to run, and Mo Yinluo sat quietly in his arms, not squeaking. It was so close that his breath touched her ear, and he couldn't help but blush. His hands are so warm that people are reluctant to leave, and this temperature makes her heart feel a little steady. She seemed to be intoxicated by the beauty of the moment. Facing the wind, and his hair was smoothed together, I don't know how long later, the horse stopped in front of the Xingwang Mansion, and Mo Yinluo, who had been stunned for a long time, was relieved. He jumped off his horse, his face expressionless.
"Come down." Duan Xichen stretched out his hand to her, as if to lead her off the horse. Mo Yinluo panicked, and hesitantly stretched out his hand to go over, but he didn't catch it for a long time. Duan Xichen grabbed her, tightened his hand, and carefully helped her down.
"My lord......" Mo Yinluo called him tentatively, looking at his unpredictable expression, he was inexplicably a little afraid in his heart. Afraid of what? Afraid of him getting angry? Mo Yinluo, when did you learn to look at his face and act?
"Aren't you afraid?"
When Duan Xichen asked, Mo Yinluo couldn't help but wonder, "What are you afraid of?" ”
"You can't ride a horse, but you have to be capable, if I hadn't appeared, you would probably be crippled by now." He's angry? Is it just because of my stubbornness? What can I do?
"No, if it weren't for ......" Mo Yinluo didn't say any more, and was about to say that of course it was the reason why she didn't ride in the carriage. Seeing her like this, Duan Xichen seemed to have guessed something, glanced at her, and said, "Don't take it as an example." His tone was so calm that he didn't know much.
Mo Yinluo was overjoyed, "Hmm." ”
Walking into Xingwangfu, there is a feeling of returning home, and I always feel that this is the warmest place.
Following Duan Xichen to the study, Mo Yinluo also seemed to guess that Duan Xichen was going to call her, and consciously followed.
"How did you know that I came back with Big Brother Feng today?" Mo Yinluo looked at Duan Xichen, who was reading a book.
Hearing this, for some reason, he put down the book in his hand slightly, and instead stared at Mo Yinluo carefully, "Brother Feng? ”
“?”
He saw that Mo Yinluo was stupid, and then picked up the book and looked, "Guess." ”
"So accurate?"
As soon as these words came out, both of them were suddenly dull for a second. Where do you seem to have seen this scene? There was silence in the room, Duan Xichen was still looking at the book he was holding in his hand, while Mo Yinluo stood awkwardly and was silent.
Is this a punishment for me, my lord? didn't speak, which made my heart even more flustered, such a cold war might as well be scolded happily! God knows what he's going to do next. Brother Feng should also be back at this time, right?
Mo Yinluo couldn't help but glance out the door a few more times, Duan Xichen seemed to notice her movements, put the book in his hand flat, and glanced at her. This really made Duan Xichen a little annoyed in his heart.
"Smack!" He suddenly "put" the book on the table, and I don't know why, I'm afraid I don't want her to continue to keep him in his eyes. This really startled Mo Yinluo, she glanced at Duan Xichen, and when she saw that Duan Xichen's face was wrong, she felt that she was standing aside.
"Your Highness!" Suddenly, the quiet study was broken by a man who came in a hurry. Look at his dress, he is not from the Xingwang Mansion, he is also called His Royal Highness, he should be from the Prince's Mansion.
"What?"
"The scepter brought by the Warat envoy yesterday has disappeared for no apparent reason." Duan Xichen was shocked, and Mo Yinluo was also shocked.
"What happened?"
"The subordinates don't know, it's just that the subordinates who cleaned the Lingxi Pavilion today found that the scepter was missing."
"Does the envoy know?"
"No, the envoys don't know"
Duan Xichen breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Yinluo had never seen such a panicked Duan Xichen, no matter what happened, he was always calm and composed.
"Quick, send more people to search! Remember that this should not reach the ears of the envoys. ”
"Yes."
The scepter is a precious treasure, and this thing is related to the friendship between the two clans, and if it is lost, it will cause criticism. In other words, such a precious thing, the adults will definitely send many people to guard it, and it should be the guard of the Xingwang Mansion. All of this can be stolen, and this person should be able to do martial arts. Mo Yinluo speculated.
Duan Xichen turned around and left, probably going to the Prince's Mansion. Mo Yinluo didn't dare to follow, because he had just told her that she had been beaten!
Duan Xichen Xu noticed something, "Don't keep up yet." ”
Mo Yinluo couldn't believe her ears, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed.
Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness!" When this party entered the door, a group of subordinates greeted him.
It turned out that this prince's mansion was so gorgeous, I thought that Xingwang's mansion was gorgeous enough, but now I know that the prince is very good. Moreover, Duan Xichen does not live in the Prince's Mansion all the year round, he spends the night in the Xingwang Mansion, and there are still people here to clean and inspect, which is really magnificent!
"My lord, don't you come to the Prince's Mansion on weekdays?"
"Not coming."
Maybe-it's still because of the matter of the moon concubine!
"Then why ......" Mo Yinluo of course wanted to ask why the prince did not live in the prince's mansion, and there were still many subordinates here.
He stopped his steps and looked at Mo Yinluo, "It's just to hide from those old ministers in the palace, in the palace, people have rumors that this king just doesn't enter the palace all year round, thinking that I live in the prince's mansion all day long." ”
"Adult ......"
"I am hidden in the people's affairs, only my father and the ninth brother know, and I also check the twists and turns in the Xingwang Mansion on weekdays, and the subordinates in the Prince's Mansion are just for show."
"The Prince's Mansion is a place where adults have lived since childhood, and here are memories of your childhood. After the incident of Concubine Yue, not only did you not want to enter the palace, but even the prince's mansion did not want to take a step? I don't know why, Duan Xichen glanced at her with a melancholy face, and Mo Yinluo had an epiphany, only to know that he had said something he shouldn't have said. I'm sorry my lord, I mentioned your sadness. ”
Duan Xichen may not have been saddened by Mo Yin Luo Fangcai's words, and he didn't blame him for it, but he was a little more disappointed. "Mo Yinluo, are you coming over these days...... Do you still not know what kind of man this king is? He walked away, his back very lonely.
Mo Yinluo was stunned immediately, she understood.
Mo Yinluo, why are you so stupid? Adults are not the kind of people who are calculating, so why apologize when they say what is in their hearts? This time an apology, but the adult is said to be the kind of narrow-minded person. It's just that this later sentence has fulfilled these drawbacks one by one. In your opinion, is it really such a person? No!
Mo Yinluo regretted making Duan Xichen angry again, she should have understood that her character of not knowing how to think casually when encountering things naturally clashes with Duan Xichen's character of not being surprised and thinking about everything.
silently followed behind Duan Xichen and looked away from afar behind Duan Xichen. I saw a gorgeously dressed woman calling for her subordinates in the prince's mansion, wearing a light yellow dress that was particularly bright and bright, and the headdress was extremely exquisite, and at a glance it was known that it was made of fine jade. Only when I got closer did I see her appearance, two pink flowers on top of the bun, plus blue tassels, and a forehead charm made her look small and exquisite. She looked back indifferently, and after seeing Duan Xichen, her face, which was still a little angry, immediately bloomed like a flower.
"Brother Duan!"
