It was already dark, and the busyness on the state bridge had come to an end.

Large and small boats leaned on both sides of the Bianhe River, and shirtless slender men were busy carrying goods. Even in this season, the night is still a little cool. But these slender men are still sweating, reflecting the dazzling light in the reflection of the lanterns.

A cool breeze blew on Mo Yunxiao's face. Her bangs fluttered gently in the wind, her long curved eyelashes blinked a few times with her eyes, and she looked at the starry lights and busy crowds stretching out on both sides of the Bianhe River in the distance, like an elegant ink painting.

Mo Yunxiao held the railing and looked quietly. Zhang Di coughed heavily, pulling her back from her dazed reverie. And Zhao Ji on the side was also looking into the distance and said to Zhang Di: "Be quiet, you should be quiet at this moment." ”

Zhang Di was bored, so he had to shut up and stop talking.

"Don't you have something to say to me?" Mo Yunxiao still looked into the distance, feeling a little apprehensive and uneasy in her heart.

Zhao Ji glanced at her and asked, "Are you in King Jian's Mansion...... Is he treating you well? ”

Mo Yunxiao glanced at him, and said angrily: "Good or bad, what does it have to do with you." ”

Zhao Ji was a little embarrassed and said: "That day in Jinmingchi, I was so angry that I almost hurt your innocence. It's my fault. However, I suddenly heard that he was coming to take you, and I was confused for a while before I made this decision. ”

Zhao Ji said sincerely, and couldn't help but touch Mo Yunxiao's heart slightly. She turned sideways, looked at him, and said with a sarcastic smile, "Your brother is more merciful than you." ”

Zhao Ji thought for a long time before he said: "I know that you won't believe all what I say, but I also hope that you can choose one or two and believe it, maybe it can help you pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages." ”

"Okay, you say." Mo Yunxiao listened carefully.

Zhao Ji paced two steps, his brows furrowed slightly, and then said, "No matter how you look at Zhao Yi, I just want to tell you that he is not a person to rely on." ”

"Humph!" Mo Yunxiao smiled contemptuously and asked rhetorically, "He's not, are you?" ”

Zhao Jileng was stunned for a moment before he said again: "This has nothing to do with me." At the moment, I just want to say about him. ”

Mo Yunxiao glared at him fiercely, then turned his head to look at the wide Bianhe River, and listened quietly to what he was saying.

"My younger brother has had a city government since he was a child. My father went early, and he and I have never seen my father's face, let alone much father-son affection. However, every time we went to worship the ancestral temple, he could always cry bitterly at his father's tablet, and afterwards changed into a swallow's costume, and still sang and danced. I have seen him play this trick for many years, and I know it very well. ”

Mo Yunxiao let out a sigh of relief and did not speak.

Zhao Ji didn't see her refute, so he continued: "When the imperial brother was in power, he also had the idea of giving him a marriage, but he refused. Leave no stone unturned. However, he recruited concubines and got the nickname of 'Dragon in Flowers'. He always plays with women to his heart's content, and when he gets a new love, he throws away his shoes like that. Many women were reluctant to follow him, but they were forcibly accepted by him, and their innocent bodies were insulted, but they were thrown away by him. I have also heard that many women have lost their minds because of this, and wandered all day long, like lonely ghosts......"

"Okay, don't talk about it!" Mo Yunxiao suddenly interrupted Zhao Ji's words. She held on to the railing, panting. Zhao Ji looked at her, a little puzzled in his heart, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Mo Yunxiao suddenly remembered the women she saw in the backyard that day.

They just lost their minds and went crazy, like lonely ghosts. However, their origin coral has been explained very clearly. Sango, like Huan'er, is a kind-hearted person, and there is no reason to lie to herself. It seems that Zhao Ji is hearsay or exaggerated.

"Who are you listening to when you say that?" Mo Yunxiao asked while panting.

Zhao Ji's face turned red and he couldn't speak. Seeing that he didn't answer, Mo Yunxiao was already angry in his heart, glared at him with slanted eyes, and reprimanded: "Zhao seems to be your brother no matter what he says, and you are so framed against him!" Why is your heart so cruel? ”

"Nope! I didn't frame him! What I said is true! Zhao Ji was also excited.

"That's good. Tell me how these words reached your ears. How did the messenger of your word know? Mo Yunxiao glared at him fiercely and asked.

Zhao Ji lowered his head a little ashamed and said, "I installed eyeliner in King Jian's mansion." ”

Before he finished speaking, Mo Yunxiao was already angry, approaching step by step, and said, "Okay, you, you really want to harm Zhao, don't you?" ”

"I'm not trying to hurt him! I was just...... I just can't trust him. Zhao Ji hurriedly defended: "But I'm just spying, and I've never done anything to him!" ”

"Humph!" Mo Yunxiao flicked his sleeves heavily.

"I installed a housekeeper and a few water-boiling women, I want to find out what Zhao seems to do on weekdays and whether there are any bad intentions." Zhao Ji said: "It's a pity that these people were all exposed later, and they were killed by Zhao Yi. ”

His words touched Mo Yunxiao's heart again. In the story told by Sango, those women were all killed by the evil women and black-hearted housekeepers in the house, so Zhao seems to punish them severely.

"You mean, you planted a few henchmen to go to King Jian's mansion, and they passed on the news to you, and later they were exposed to being killed by Zhao Yi?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Mo Yunxiao sneered again and said, "Your lies are wonderful, but there are many loopholes. ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is the loophole?" ”

"The maids and slaves in the mansion all praised Zhao as a benevolent gentleman, and even my Huan'er who was sold into the mansion praised him." Mo Yunxiao said: "I can't trust others, but I can trust Huan'er." ”

"What's so strange about buying people's hearts?" Zhao Ji said with a frown.

"That can't be bought by everyone." Mo Yunxiao retorted: "There will always be someone who will vent the wind. ”

"Humph! Those who can breathe through the wind have already been cut off by Zhao Ru. Zhao Ji said with a sneer.

Mo Yunxiao's eyes lit up, and she said sharply: "What did you say?" Between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but be murderous.

Zhang Di couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at it from the side, and hurriedly shouted: "Mo Yunxiao! What are you doing! But Mo Yunxiao looked at him with a fierce gaze, as if thousands of sharp arrows were shooting at him. He was also a little flustered, so he had to say timidly: "You don't have to be so loud." ”

Mo Yunxiao turned her gaze back again. Zhao Ji said: "This news is also transmitted back from my eyeliner. ”

"You...... You're really ...... Damn it! Mo Yunxiao trembled with anger, but she didn't understand who she was angry with, whether it was Zhao Ji or Zhao Xiang or maybe herself.

"Helu, I'm ......" Zhao Ji was about to speak but was interrupted by her: "Call me Mo Yunxiao!" ”

"Yes, Mo Yunxiao." Zhao Ji screamed, and Zhang Di on the side was secretly amused. In ancient times, it was very rude to call people by their first names.

Although Zhao Ji is the emperor, except for the court, he generally only calls people. But Mo Yunxiao did the opposite, and it was indeed for the outliers.

But Zhao Ji was very concerned about her in his heart, and he didn't care about so many etiquette, so he had to say: "Mo Yunxiao, what I said is the truth, I can bet on the sky and the ancestors." ”

She was so angry that her cheeks turned red and she said, "There is no proof of death, what you say is what it is!" ”

Zhao Ji was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Why do you always refuse to believe me?" ”

"Why should I believe you, and why should I believe you?" Mo Yunxiao sneered: "Just because you are the emperor?" ”

"No, you just treat me as someone who really loves and pities you." Zhao Ji said very sincerely.

"Humph! You're affectionate. Mo Yunxiao sneered and said, "But just because you take the throne of others, it is despicable." ”

Mo Yunxiao looked at him and continued: "You have sat firmly in the country, and the treasures of the world are within reach. Do you still care about me as an ordinary woman? On the contrary, it was King Jane, who lost his throne, was depressed, and immersed himself in lust all day long, and did not hesitate to defile himself in order to protect himself. Do you have to take his life to give up? You already have the world, I just ask you to let Zhao seem to be okay! ”

Mo Yunxiao was emotional, but Zhao Ji was surprisingly calm. He sighed, looked up at the moon looming in the sky, and said, "Those who are clear are self-purifying." ”

"Then let time tell." Mo Yunxiao said.

Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that when you see his true face, you will be like those poor women." ”

"Humph! Then I should really admit your love!. Mo Yunxiao sneered, and when he looked at Zhao Ji again, he actually shed tears. This surprised her, and it also softened her originally hardened heart.

"I don't need you to accept my affection." Zhao Ji said: "If you refuse to believe me, you should not be blamed." It's just that I hope you can think about it and be more careful in the palace in the future. ”

He turned around and left. Mo Yunxiao was a little at a loss and shouted, "Wait! ”

Zhao Ji stopped his steps and looked back at her. There were still tears in his eyes.

"In the palace that day, thank you for helping me out of the siege." Mo Yunxiao greeted him and said, "It's just that I don't understand, how did you guess such a tricky thing." ”

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "We were born in the royal family, and we have been clothed and fed since childhood, and this little trick is not difficult for me." ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "Anyway, you helped me, I want to thank you." ”

"It doesn't have to be." Zhao Ji turned his head and said, "That day in the palace, Zhao seemed to poison me, do you know this?" ”

Mo Yunxiao was shocked when she heard this, and said, "What? He poisoned you? ”

"Yes, it's just that this poison needs to be eaten twice before it can be poisoned." Zhao Ji said: "I only ate it once, so I can still stand in front of you unharmed." ”

Mo Yunxiao gritted her teeth and said, "He promised me that I wouldn't hurt you." ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "Conspiracy, you are not his opponent." ”

"I don't believe he's going to hurt you."

"That's fine. I'm safe and sound now anyway. Zhao Ji said: "When it comes to eating, I suddenly became hungry, I invite you to eat Fanlou's fish soup, okay?" ”

She shook her head and said, "I don't like to eat fish." ”

"Let me invite you to eat once, you and I are probably ......" Zhao Ji paused, and said: "The last time we get together, from now on, you will be your princess, and I will be my emperor." Our well water does not interfere with river water. ”

Mo Yunxiao raised her head and said, "I don't eat fish, but I didn't say I wouldn't eat anything else." ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Then what you want to eat, it's up to you." Granny Cao's meatloaf? Yulou soup dumplings? Or ......"

"Have you ever eaten a street stall?" Mo Yunxiao suddenly interrupted him. Zhao Ji was puzzled, "Huh? "Yes.

Mo Yunxiao pointed to an ordinary foot shop. There are slender men who have collected their work and some cloth clothes who are eating.

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "You are the emperor, I know you are unwilling to condescend." ”

Zhao Ji laughed out loud and said, "Cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep for fun, you will have to drink three hundred cups." Good! Let's go. ”

"Childe! That's where Childe goes. Zhang Di hurriedly came to stop him, glared at Mo Yunxiao again, and said, "It's really too much." ”

"Zhu Yuanzhang still has to eat, why is it too much to ask him to eat a roadside stall!" Mo Yunxiao sneered. Zhang Di was a little scared and hid behind Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji smiled and asked, "Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?" ”

Mo Yunxiao was just about to explain, but suddenly remembered that this was the Song Dynasty, and he couldn't explain to him the people and things that happened in the future, so he said perfunctorily: "That's none of your business, do you go or not?" ”

Zhao Ji smiled, and strode in the direction of the foot shop. Zhang Di glared at Mo Yunxiao fiercely, and had to follow.

The three of them sat down, but Zhao Ji broke Zhang Di away. He could only sit with some slender men, looking at Mo Yunxiao with anger in his eyes.

"I will remember how good you were to me. But ......" Mo Yunxiao gently stirred the soup cake in front of him with a soup spoon, and said, "I can't forgive you for playing tricks and usurping the throne of other people's Zhao. ”

It was the first time for Zhao Ji to sit in such a shop, he was very cramped, and he was also a little disgusted with such a noisy and noisy environment. "Who said that the throne is his."

"Zhao seems to be the younger brother of the first emperor's half-mother, and you are the half-brother. In terms of blood, isn't he closer? Mo Yunxiao said.

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "That's not bad." It's just that it's a lot more complicated than you think. On that day, I was rushing to Jinmingchi to watch the dragon boat race. Unexpectedly, a message suddenly came from the palace, saying that the official family was in a hurry to recruit me into the palace. In those days, the official family had gradually become unsupportable, and it was a matter of time before the dragon controlled Bintian. When I got the news, I rushed back immediately. But ......"

"But what?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

"Later, I seemed to hear that because my people blocked the mouth of Jinmingchi, a woman who fell into the water could not be treated in time and Xiang Xiaoyu died, alas, what a sin."

Mo Yunxiao forcibly suppressed the anger in her chest, and said with a displeased look: "Don't change the topic, continue to talk." ”

"I rushed back to Ouchi only to find that the official family had been driven, and I heard that Prime Minister Zhang Dian advocated King Jian's unification, but was opposed by the Queen Mother."

"Why?" Mo Yunxiao asked with some excitement.

"Humph! King Jian and Emperor Xian came out of Concubine Zhu together. If her two sons are allowed to succeed to the throne one after another, how can she deal with the Queen Mother? Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "And my other brothers are either too shallow in qualifications, or they are still young, and the only one who can succeed to the throne is me." ”

"According to you, it was not you who usurped the throne but the Queen Mother?"

"No, it's not a usurpation." Zhao Ji said: "We are all sons of the Divine Sect, and we all have opportunities. It's just that Zhao seems to be smart but is mistaken by cleverness, he thinks that he can still play a filial son and grandson, in fact, his temperament, which of the Manchu ministers and relatives does not know? It's just that he thinks others don't know. ”

"So what?" Mo Yunxiao frowned and asked.

Zhao Ji looked at her and said, "Except for snobs like Zhang Dan, no one in the Manchu Dynasty spoke for him." Therefore, even if there is no queen mother, Zhao seems to be unable to sit on this throne. ”

"You're just a good word!" Mo Yunxiao couldn't help but raise her voice, but it also attracted the attention of some diners around her, so she could only keep her mouth shut and eat her noodle soup with her head down.
