Coming out of the Yan Mansion, it was getting late. Mo Cong rode his horse all the way back, and only after passing by the gate of Chen's mansion did he remember that the horse belonged to someone else's family and needed to be returned to someone else.

Knocking on the door of Chen's mansion, Mo Cong handed the reins to Chen Zhu, said a word of thanks, and was ready to turn around and leave.

"Our young master is back, aren't you going to come in and sit down?" Chen Zhu looked at Mo Cong a little angrily.

"yes, then I'll go see her, I just have a lot to ask. Mo Cong said and entered the gate of the Chen Mansion.

When he came to the main room of the main courtyard of the Chen Mansion, Chen Ruoping was sitting thinking about things, and when he saw Chen Zhu suddenly come in with Mo Cong, his face was a little red. "Are you going to Yan Tao?" Chen Ruoping asked Chen Zhu to go out to make tea, and said to him left and right.

"Yes, I came to you and you weren't there, so I went to ask him for some advice. Mo Cong said.

"Why did you come to me?" asked Chen Ruoping.

"The emperor is preparing to give marriage. Mo Cong said bluntly.

"You know?" Chen Ruoping was surprised, she was called to the imperial study by Hang Xiao after she went to court today, and asked her opinion on this matter, but Mo Cong already knew it as soon as she came back. This news has spread too quickly, Chen Ruoping thought to himself.

"What, the emperor told you?" Mo Cong was even more surprised, he didn't expect Hang Xiao's movements to be so fast.

"Yes, he asked me today if it was feasible, how is your temper and surname, etc. Chen Ruoping said.

"Then what do you say?" asked Mo Cong.

"What can I say, this kind of thing... Ask yourself what you mean, of course. Chen Ruoping was a little embarrassed.

"Well, that princess likes you so much, and you yourself are a girl's family, you can't say a lot of things. I originally wanted you to push this off for me, but now that I think about it, I still won't pull you into the water, I'll handle it myself. Mo Cong said.

While the two were talking, Chen Zhu came in with the brewed tea, one for Mo Cong and one for Chen Ruoping. Mo Cong took a sip of tea, the entrance was bitter and astringent, and it was very salty, and he didn't know what he put it. "Well, this tea is good. He said quietly.

"If General Mo thinks it's good, then drink more, our young master usually drinks this kind of tea. Chen Zhu said quietly.

Seeing the two of them boasting about the tea here, Chen Ruoping also picked up his tea bowl and took a sip, but the taste was normal.

"General Mo, please sit down for a moment, and I'll go and let the kitchen prepare dinner. Chen Zhu walked out as he spoke.

"Forget it, I've been out for a day, and I still want to go back for dinner. Mo Cong didn't want to continue to be rectified, and he didn't want Chen Ruoping to have any misunderstanding, so he put down the tea bowl and stood up to leave.

"General Mo, are you such a person? When you have something, you are in a hurry to find our young master, and when you are done, get up and leave?" Chen Zhu looked at Mo Cong angrily.

"Chen Zhu ......," Chen Ruoping scolded with a flushed face.

Chen Zhu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face was a little red, but he still looked at Mo Cong without giving in.

"I'm a bit of an exaggeration to say that. Mo Cong said, "Otherwise, Brother Chen, you can come to our place to eat, I heard that our chef there is very good, just go and taste it together." ”

"Don't listen to Chen Zhu's nonsense, go back to eat by yourself, I won't go. Chen Ruoping said with a red face.

"Chen Zhu is not talking nonsense, every time I think of something like this, I run over to ask you, and after asking, I pat my ass and leave, which is really not good. Mo Cong said: "In addition, I also want to talk to you more, in fact, I wanted to come over in the middle of the night last night, but then I endured it and still didn't come, and when you came this morning, you were not there, and Chen Zhu said that you were so busy...... I mean, you've finally got some time now, and we can just eat and talk together. Let's go, let's go together. As he spoke, he picked up Chen Ruoping and left.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but don't pull me like that. Chen Ruoping blushed and broke away from Mo Cong's hand, hurried a few steps forward and walked out of the door, and walked out under the gaze of a group of maids.

"General Mo, if you want to come over in the middle of the night in the future, just come over directly. Chen Zhu whispered to Mo Cong in the back: "Our young master can fall asleep very late every day, if you can come and talk to her, she will ......."

"Is it so serious?" Mo Cong frowned.

"yes, you've experienced it just now. Chen Zhu was even quieter.

"Okay, I see. Mo Cong said and walked out of the gate of the Chen Mansion.

The two soon came to Mo's Mansion, and when Steward Mo saw that Mo Cong was back, he hurried to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Hearing Mo Cong's voice, Mo Min came out of his room and came to the main room with Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping to talk. Soon, the maids came in with tea sets and fruit bowls, skillfully brewed the tea and gently withdrew.

"Second brother, where did you go today, I went to the restaurant to look for you, but you weren't there, and I waited for you for a long time before you came back. Mo Min picked up a fruit casually and asked.

"I went to visit Commander Yan and talked about a lot of things. Mo Cong said.

"Really?" Mo Min was stunned and put the fruit down again. "I heard that the emperor is going to recruit you as a concubine, is it true?"

"Little sister, who did you listen to about this?" Chen Ruoping looked at Mo Min in surprise.

"Listen to what the people in our restaurant said, what, is this really the case?" Mo Min also looked at Chen Ruoping in surprise, she originally thought it was unreliable gossip, but when she looked at Chen Ruoping's expression, it seemed that there was such a thing.

"Your restaurant is well-informed, and this matter is indeed true. Chen Ruoping smiled.

"It's really unexpected that such a glorious thing can also be my second brother's turn. Mo Min looked at Mo Cong with a smile.

"But your second brother doesn't seem to want to. Chen Ruoping took a sip of tea and said, "Mo Cong, you said that you should handle this matter yourself, what are you going to do, tell me about it, and I will give you details." ”

"It's very simple, marrying another person with lightning speed, this is the method that Commander Yan gave me. Mo Cong said. "If it doesn't work, I'll marry my sister, so the emperor can't do anything about me. ”

"What? with you... Marry your sister?!" Chen Ruoping choked on a sip of tea, and the expression on his face couldn't help but laugh. "Mo Cong, your sister... Everyone knows that you and your little sister are just brother and sister feelings, brother and sister relationship, you marry little sister... Everyone will think that you are acting, not only will it not work, but it will make the emperor feel very uncomfortable. And people who don't know will think that you are really married, so you will make my little sister miserable, and you will ruin her happiness all her life in this child's play that will not play any role, do you understand what I mean?"

"I ......" Mo Cong glanced at Chen Ruoping speechlessly, not knowing how to explain.

"Brother Chen, do you mean that you want my second brother to marry you?" Mo Min looked at Chen Ruoping with a strange expression.

"I can't either, after all, my identity can't be disclosed. Chen Ruoping really didn't mean this, even if she liked Mo Cong again, she didn't want to disclose her identity, and it was impossible to marry Mo Cong.

"Is that so?" Mo Min suddenly became less hostile.

The three of them talked again, and the maids came over to say that dinner was ready, and invited the three of them to move to the dining room. When he arrived at the dining room, a table full of dishes was full of aroma, Chen Ruoping sat down and tasted a little and praised endlessly, praising the chefs of Mofu for their excellent cooking skills than the chefs in his own house.

"Don't say anything like that. Mo Cong smiled, "You are the dignified president, I am just a pipe band, if this kind of words reach the ears of the emperor, the emperor will think that you are complaining." ”

"It's okay, the emperor knows that I didn't mean this, and he is afraid that these people will not serve you well, and he will be happy to hear such words. Chen Ruoping also smiled.

"Let's go eat too, I hear your stomachs growling. Mo Cong said casually to the four maids who were waiting in the dining room, and the maids retreated with red faces.

"Are these your personal rings?" asked Chen Ruoping in a low voice.

"yes, it seems to be called Mei Lan Zhuju. Mo Cong said.

"Mei ...... I also said that the girl ring was a little familiar, and it turned out to be her. Chen Ruoping groaned.

"Who?" said Mo Cong wondered.

"The girl ring on the far left, if I'm not mistaken, should be Miss Mei, the daughter of Mei Linhai. Chen Ruoping said.

"Who is Mei Linhai?" Mo Cong was puzzled.

"Mei Linhai was the original prime minister, but he was arrested. Chen Ruoping hadn't spoken yet, Mo Min said on the side. Shangpinxiang Restaurant is a messy and well-informed source of information, although Mo Min didn't hear about the old man there, he heard a lot of news in the capital.

"It turned out to be the prime minister's daughter, no wonder. Mo Cong said thoughtfully.

"What's the wonder?" Mo Min glanced at Mo Cong.

"No wonder it's so pretty. Mo Cong gave Mo Min some food and said with a smile.

"Then you'll marry her. Mo Min also smiled.

"Okay, I'll ask her in a moment. Mo Cong picked up the wine glass and drank it.

"Mo Cong, you let the princess of the dynasty not marry, but marry the daughter of the criminal official, this may be a little... What do you mean by going against the imperial court?" Chen Ruoping said worriedly.

"What did that Merlin Hai do, and why was he arrested?" Mo Cong asked.

"Mei Linhai participated in Zhao Rong's book half a year ago, saying that Zhao Rong's public weapons were used for private purposes, and he used the convenience of being in charge of the Internal Affairs Department to purchase resources from his relatives and friends, and secretly made profits. Later, Zhao Rong gathered the henchmen of the DPRK and China to bite back, saying that Mei Linhai ignored the war ahead and obstructed the Internal Affairs Department from raising war resources, and he did not know where to find some evidence of Mei Linhai's collaboration with the enemy. At that time, the Juling Pass was in full swing, and the emperor meant that everything made way for war, and the evidence of the crime of collaborating with Mei Linhai was also rather credible than not, so he deposed Mei Linhai and locked him up, probably like this. Chen Ruoping said.

"Zhao Rong... It's Zhao Rong again. Mo Cong smiled, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed. "Then what about after being locked up, there will be no follow-up?

"It is better to believe what is there than to believe that there is not, this is the conclusion. Chen Ruoping said. Later, Mei Linhai committed suicide in prison, and Zhao Rong's people said that he committed suicide in fear of sin, but he was saddled with a verdict of treason. As a result, not only did he die in vain, but he was also so tired that he was beheaded all over the house, I thought Miss Mei was no longer there, but I didn't expect her to die, but came here to be a maid. ”

"So... This Miss Mei is really pitiful. Mo Cong sighed. "What about the others, the other maids, do you know where they come from?" he asked, after a moment's thought.

"I don't know. Chen Ruoping shook his head.
