Chapter 154: Half-truths, who fools whom
The fourth prince's mind floated, but his face did not show anything, he only smiled and said: "I also think that Marquis Wen Yuan is not so stupid, but during this time, Mo Shizi has had accidents one after another, I am afraid that someone is secretly making trouble and does not want you to be well, Mo Shizi still has to be careful, so as not to be calculated." ”
Mo Xuanchen nodded: "Thank you for the reminder from His Royal Highness." ”
Several princes sat together and drank with Mo Xuanchen, and the other people next to them did not come forward without interest.
King Hui helped Mo Xuanchen deal with the other guests, Mo Xuanchen accompanied a few princes to drink, and after the eldest prince drank two glasses, he suddenly glanced at the four princes and said: "But speaking of the Xie family's previous incident, it is really strange, that Xie Xuan I have also seen a few times, unlike people who have no brains for the sake of women, then Xie Mengyang is even more shrewd, how can he let go of his good in-laws and break with the Song family?" ”
The fourth prince frowned: "Big brother, does this mean that the Song family provoked the Xie family?" ”
"Of course not."
The eldest prince said lightly, "I just think it's strange, things in this capital have always been wrapped in layers, the in-laws of the Xie and Song families have always been fine, and I heard that Miss Song San is also about to get married, so why did Xie Yi suddenly say that he would turn his face, and even with the Xie family, he also looked like he wanted to put the Song family and the princess to death." ”
Mo Xuanchen's face instantly turned cold: "The eldest prince is here to speak for the Xie family?" ”
The eldest prince shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, I don't know the Xie family well, I just want to remind the prince that the Xie family will not provoke the Song family to be your enemy for no reason, maybe there are people behind you." ”
When he said this, his voice paused,
"Speaking of which, the fourth brother and the Xie family can be regarded as relatives, so Xie Yi still has to call you cousin?"
The fourth prince's face suddenly sank: "What do you mean by big brother?" ”
The eldest prince smiled: "What is the fourth brother doing, I just want to say that you are familiar with the Xie family, and you have been in frequent contact before, so you may know something......
"You!"
The fourth prince suddenly wanted to get up.
The second prince, who had been quiet next to him and looked like a transparent person, hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the fourth prince, while blocking the eldest prince opposite, and laughed in a round from it: "Look at what you all say, today is the day of great joy for the Mo Shizi, what did the unlucky thing in the Xie family do, and the joy was ruined for no reason." ”
The fourth prince was pressed back by his shoulder, and after shaking off the hand on his shoulder, he snorted angrily.
The eldest prince took a sip with a smile on his glass.
After the banquet ended, the guests left one after another, and when the fourth prince found Mo Xuanchen, he saw him and the eldest prince standing under the verandah in front of the courtyard talking something.
Under the red lantern in the house, Mo Xuanchen's eyebrows were frowning, and his face was extremely bad, and he hurriedly stepped forward with a sigh in his heart.
"Mo Shizi!"
The words in the eldest prince's mouth were abruptly interrupted, and he saw the fourth child coming over with gloomy eyes.
He smiled playfully, and his voice just reached the ears of the fourth prince: "Mo Shizi, what I said to you, you think about it, some things may not be without traces, the people in this capital have always had a lot of thoughts, but don't let the evil wolf stay by your side." ”
Mo Xuanchen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, for mentioning this." ”
The fourth prince had already arrived, and the eldest prince said with a smile: "Okay, tonight is your cave room with candles, I won't delay you, and I'll look for you to drink when I have a chance back." ”
Mo Xuanchen bowed slightly: "Your Highness, walk slowly." ”
The eldest prince didn't look at the four princes at all, but after glancing at the menacing four princes with a smile, he turned his head and left directly with the long entourage beside him.
When the fourth prince arrived, he said coldly: "What did he tell you?" ”
Mo Xuanchen's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Seeing this, the fourth prince knew that it was not good, and hurriedly explained to Mo Xuanchen: "I have always been at odds with my eldest brother, and he also hates his father and favors me more, I do have an old relationship with the Xie family, and I also had some dealings with Xie Xuan earlier, but I really don't know why he embarrassed the Song family and Yun Jinchu later." ”
Mo Xuanchen raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that the face of the fourth prince was full of sincerity and eagerness.
He was silent for a moment before he said: "The eldest prince said that when Xie Yi was sent to the Beijing suburb courtyard by Xie Mengyang before, the grandmother beside the eldest princess once entered the palace to see the queen mother, and later His Royal Highness went to the courtyard to visit him, and soon after, Ah Jin and I were attacked outside the horse farm of Helan's house. ”
"Nonsense!"
The hearts of the four princes were beating wildly, and they had already scolded the eldest prince to death, but they still pretended to be angry that they had been wronged.
"Mama Gong once went to the palace to see the queen mother, but she just wanted the queen mother to intercede for Xie Hui, but the queen mother rejected Mama Gong at that time, saying that Xie Yi was to blame for this."
"You also know that Xie Hui's aunt married my mother's uncle, in the past, Xie Hui walked around with me a lot, after his accident, he was abandoned by the Xie family and thrown into another courtyard to fend for himself, if I don't go to visit, others will inevitably say that I am cold and ruthless, where do those who follow me dare to really help?"
Seeing the hesitation in Mo Xuanchen's eyes, the fourth prince said sincerely,
"I went to visit Xie Hui, but I just wanted to let the people below know that I would not give up on them easily, and I wanted to win people's hearts, and I also wondered why Xie Hui suddenly turned against the Song family, I also wanted to ask the reason in the past, who knew that he would have such a vicious mind and want to kill you."
"Mo Shizi, I know that you will have doubts about me, but I can tell you the truth, I think that position, it is impossible to disobey the holy will of my father and provoke the enemy, I have no grievances with you, and I know that my father values you, why should I take the risk of taking Xie Yi to hurt your life?"
Mo Xuanchen seemed to be weighing the truth of the four princes' words, and only after a moment did he say, "Is it really His Highness?" ”
"It's not!" The fourth prince looked determined, "What reason do you think I have to harm you?" ”
Mo Xuanchen seemed to believe his words, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Your Highness really has no reason to harm me, but the eldest prince said that the Xie family has always been doing things for His Highness......"
"Nonsense!"
The fourth prince was annoyed, "The Xie family is indeed closer to me, but you don't know the temperament of the eldest princess, after she went to Yunquan Temple to worship the Buddha, she will not allow the Xie family to get involved in the affairs between the princes, otherwise when Xie Mengyang was in the Beijing Guard, the forces in Beijing would have been used by me a long time ago, why should I be afraid everywhere?" ”
What he said was justified and not weak at all.
The eldest princess did not allow Xie Mengyang and them to get involved in the matter of seizing the heir, although Xie Hui was close to him, Xie Mengyang also held the Jingwei Office, but with the advice of the eldest princess Rongxian, the Xie family never really helped him do anything.
This time, if it weren't for his heavy profits, and after the account book was exposed, he would have implicated the Xie family after he completely fell, and Xie Mengyang's father and son would not have been involved.
