Chapter 12: Eavesdropping (Revision)

The moonlight shone like water, shining on the majestic palace, casting a lonely shadow on the ground.

At this moment, in the Taiji Palace, the industrious new emperor sat on the dragon chair, and he couldn't put down his pen to review the chapters, and he had no time to pamper the three thousand beauties of the harem.

In the lonely palace, the blue windows cast shadows one after another, like withered flowers, waiting for the day when the rain and dew are even wet.

In the dark back garden, few people come out to move, and there is a faint sound of conversation from the Taihu Lake stone transported from Yangzhou, and I think it is the sound of the wind if I don't listen carefully.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I can't hurt him." Qian's slender palm stuffed a pitch-black porcelain bottle into the palm of a slender knuckle hand.

Han Qing's narrow eyes glanced at the bottle of cold guilt in his palm, and pursed his lips, with a clear understanding in his eyes that he had already expected.

"Hehe, sister, you were softened by his sweet words? Come on, I won't pursue you, I was carried away by love, for a son who doesn't love your enemy at all, forget the hatred of his parents, and betray his kindness, you can be a mother comfortably in Taicheng with peace of mind. ”

Han Qing looked at the porcelain vase in his eyes, shook his head sadly, and said with emotion.

"What do you mean, brother?" Mo Xiangli frowned slightly and asked puzzled.

"Yan'er, there are three thousand beauties in this harem, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, and the emperor can favor one person?" Han Qing weighed the porcelain bottle in his hand, stared at the bottle and said secretly.

"No." Mo Xiang replied dying.

"How long have you known each other?" Han Qing asked.

"More than two months." Mo Xiangli replied truthfully.

"How many times did he stay in your palace?" Han Qing asked bluntly, his eyes were even a little sharp.

"Twice." Mo Xiangli faced his brother's heart-beating questioning, his voice was as small as a mosquito, and he still had the shyness of a little daughter.

Han Qing watched the moonlight shine on her blushing face, sighed silently, hid her face and said sadly: "Do you want to wait for a man's favor forever?" He thinks of you, come once, he doesn't think of you, you stay in obscurity forever in the palace, be pampered once in a while, and endure the jealousy and hatred of other concubines, and the bullying in secret. ”

"Brother......" Mo Xiangli heard the word "bullying", secretly hid his hand behind him, and suddenly felt a huge grievance in his heart, it turned out that his brother knew that she was bullied by a bad woman.

Han Qing looked at the light in Mo Xiangli's eyes, held her face with pity, and said gently: "Yan'er, let's go with my brother, this man is not your destination, didn't you say before, if you are not a brother, you won't marry?"

Han Qing remembered her soft words when she was a child, and her eyes lit up with happiness.

"Brother, that's what Yan'er said when she was ignorant, I only like Shiro, and besides, you also have Princess Jing......" Mo Xiangli lowered his eyelashes and said guiltily.

The light in Han Qing's eyes became darker and darker as her words became darker and darker, and there was indescribable complexity and unwillingness in her eyes.

"Yan'er, my brother only has you in his heart, I don't like her at all, I just married her for power and status, it doesn't matter if you forget what you said when you were a child, then my brother will wait for you to like me again."

Han Qing's affection made Mo Xiangli soften a crack in his heart, and he looked at his brother's beautiful eyebrows and eyes, unable to speak.

Han Qing hugged Mo Xiangli's slender waist tightly, pressed his foreheads against each other, and swore sincerely: "Yan'er, my brother promises to love you alone, you are the only one in the room, and you will always be the main room." As long as we poison the emperor and take our father out of the palace, we can fly away and enjoy the glory and wealth of the Northern Cold."

Mo Xiangli was a little embarrassed.

Han Qing stroked her soft and smooth long hair and said, "Yan'er, that emperor not only likes women, but also men, he really doesn't deserve your liking."

"He likes men?" Mo Xiangli raised his eyes suspiciously and asked.

"Yan'er, you've been in the palace for so long, haven't you heard that he's looking for someone?" Han Qing stroked her hair and said with pity.

"I've heard ......" Mo Xiangli suddenly remembered that the first time they met, he said that her eyebrows and eyes really looked like that person.

It turned out that she was a stand-in...... Didn't you know about it earlier? It's just that she deliberately ignored it.

"This Muyun male style is prevalent, and it is no secret that this emperor sent people to search for a man who separated three years ago."

"But, but, he was very good to me, maybe he liked me and forgot about that man......" Mo Xiangli heard this, tears fell from his eyes, and he spent the makeup on his face.

"My silly Yan'er, he can like you and other men, he is different from us." Han Qing took out a brocade and carefully wiped away her tears.

"No, he's ...... differently," Mo Xiangli stupidly defended Xiao Jingyu.

"Yan'er, how about we make a bet?" Han Qing said as he hugged her thin shoulders.

"Bet?" Mo Xiangli blinked and looked at Han Qing with blinking.

"I prove that he likes men, and you come with me."

"How?"

Han Qing thought for a while and said, "If he likes me, you can go with me, and I am the only one in my heart." ”

Mo Xiangli looked at his brother's extraordinarily beautiful face and began to hesitate.

"Sister, if that man really loves you, he has enough faith to resist all temptations."

"Okay, if you lose, don't hurt him, stay in Muyun and serve him wholeheartedly." Mo Xiangli stretched out his little thumb and looked at Han Qing and said.

"Okay, if I lose, I won't hurt him and serve his Xiao family." Han Qing hooked her little finger and said.

"I'll let you know the result tomorrow, you can leave this bottle for the time being, and when you know that he is half-hearted, you will poison him and poison him, but this is a confused love."

The corners of Han Qing's mouth showed an inevitable smile.

"Who, where, come out!" There was a sudden shout in the air.

Hiding in the rockery, the two of them were so frightened that they held their breath, Han Qing protected Mo Xiangli, and secretly touched the short knife on his waist with his hand.

"Big Brother Guard, don't draw your sword." A woman's timid voice came from outside.

"What are you doing sneaking up on the rockery!" The guard asked.

"I ...... I just broke my foot, and I rested on the rockery, so I'll go. The palace maid explained, and then heard the sound of iron armor rubbing and footsteps walking away.

Han Qing's brows furrowed, and after a while, he poked his head out and checked cautiously to confirm that all the people were gone, before he withdrew his hand from the knife.

"Can you hear it, who is that palace maid?" Han Qing looked back and asked.

"Her voice is familiar to me on weekdays, but I can't tell who it is." Mo Xiangli frowned and said.

Han Qing walked out and carefully investigated the place where the palace maid had just stayed, looking at the shallow footprints left by the palace maid.

In the gap of the rockery, I saw the pink embroidered orchid sachet that the palace maid had just hurriedly dropped, opened it and looked at it carefully, twisted one, and looked at the sleek stone with a trace of residual warmth, and quietly restored the sachet to its original appearance.

Then, he comforted Mo Xiangli, who was scared next to him, and said, "Don't be bold, my brother is responsible for everything."

"Do you have eyebrows?" Mo Xiangli heard his words and saw that he was confident, and his heart relaxed a lot.

Han Qing pondered for a while, and said calmly: "She just spoke, five steps away from us, climbing rocks and eavesdropping, you and I are quiet, plus the wind is strong tonight, she can't hear clearly, it is estimated that she can only use a word."

She had just spoken, with a Yuzhou accent, and she was supposed to be a local, or had been there for more than two years.

She is about six and a half feet tall and has a thin build. She walked slowly and hesitantly, leaving in the direction of the harem, mostly from the harem. She is a timid and cautious person on weekdays, but when she hears you and me speak tonight, she will definitely think about it tonight, and will report it to her master tomorrow afternoon.

It is more likely that she deliberately followed you, there is nothing special on this sachet, this sachet is half old and not new, the incense inside has been faint for a long time, indicating that she has been wearing it for more than two years, and the stone inside may be of great significance to her, she found that she lost it and came back to look for it, it is very likely.

Tomorrow I will send someone to investigate, you don't think too much tonight, sleep well, tomorrow I will be the first to tell you the results. ”

Han Qing touched her head and said comfortingly.

Mo Xiangli nodded, Han Qing stuffed the sachet into his arms, gave a reassuring smile and left.

Mo Xiangli looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, gritted his teeth, stuffed it back into his arms, and stayed in the rockery for a while before leaving.

This night, Mo Xiangli lay on his side in the red tent, touching the healing burns on his wrists, his brother's love words echoed in his mind, and his heart was very complicated.

Who is the palace maid who just eavesdropped on the rockery?

Don't sleep all night.

On the second day, when Mo Xiangli got up, it was already the time when the sun was rising, and the queen sent someone to invite her to have breakfast together.

After Mo Xiangli hurriedly washed, he went to the banquet with Hua Xihuan trembling.

This queen Murong Yi is extremely strange, she invited her to Xianyang Palace every day for the past three days, invited her to eat some snacks, or had breakfast, she only said some daily words, without the intention of inviting her, and there was no closeness and alienation.

Today's queen finally revealed her intentions, pointed to the breakfast meal that was different from yesterday and said, "Sister, what do you think of my breakfast in the palace?"

Mo Xiangli put down the bowl in his hand and said: "It is extremely delicious, and there is a taste of Li'er's hometown in today's breakfast."

"Hehe, there is a cook from Huainan in the palace, so I asked him to make it for my sister, sister Huan, then often come to me to eat." The queen said with a smile, bringing out a bit of intimacy.

"Queen Xie is very loving, and I am grateful for my son." Mo Xiangli thanked him and said.

"Hehe, I know that my sister knows the general situation, and we will definitely become good sisters." Murong Yi helped her up and said with a soft smile.

This olive branch greets you obviously.

"In the future, whatever you give Li'er to eat, Li'er will eat, and he won't pick his mouth." Mo Xiangli also expressed his position, and the queen's eyebrows and eyes became more pleasant.

Mo Xiangli silently observed all the palace maids in the queen's palace, and finally said goodbye and went back.

On the way, a man hit her with a piece of paper stuffed in his palm.

Mo Xiangli endured his desires, and when he arrived in the room, he hurriedly opened it.

On the paper, Han Qing's handwriting, the structure between the words is very harmonious and beautiful, flowing with a sense of arbitrariness.

It reads: Ronghua Pavilion, Green Lotus, talk in detail in your room tonight.

By the way, she and Ah Huan, after leaving Rong Guiren, made up two more people.

There are two new additions, named Chimei and Green Lotus.

The green lotus rarely spoke in front of her, and she was very inconspicuous on weekdays, and her height and appearance were also in line with what her brother said.

I just don't know how much she overheard.
