Chapter 60: Night Talk
"Knock knock. β
"Come in. β
Mo Qingxi pushed the door in, and saw Ye Jiuchen sitting at the table, a cup of tea with a faint heat floating in front of him, one hand on the table, looking at her for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Have you been waiting for me?"
Is she so important to him?
If it was Yun Qianyan, he would definitely go on immediately, and with a bright smile.
And Ye Jiuchen only had one face, and shook his head sincerely, "No, Qingwang's side is over, and he just came back." β
"Oh. Mo Qingxi sat down at the table unceremoniously, and saw that people didn't say anything for a long time, so he had to pour himself a cup of tea on his own.
Ye Jiuchen just looked at her like this, and she didn't squeak, if it weren't for the slightly upturned arc of the corners of his mouth, I am afraid that Mo Qingxi would think that he was not happy that he was so casually moving his things in front of him.
In fact, he has a paralyzed face all the year round, cold and noble, which makes it difficult to see whether he is in a good mood or not.
Although I drank a lot of tea from Yunyin, the weather was so hot that I was already thirsty. Mo Qingxi drank a cup of tea with satisfaction, and his little face was full of comfortable expressions.
"If you're here to talk about the purple clothes, I already know that. Ye Jiuchen poured himself a cup of tea and said, he found out from the first time he saw her, this girl has an indescribable magic, as long as she sees her, her mood will be much better.
"You already know!" Mo Qingxi was surprised, and then suddenly realized, since the Ding'an Mansion dared to use purple clothes, it was still such an important position, how could it not be investigated.
Mo Qingxi sighed lightly, "It's that I'm troublesome." β
"No, I'm glad you came to talk to me about it. Ye Jiuchen paused as he spoke, lowering his eyes to look at the mist curling with the tea, "However, the first person you tell me is me, and I will be happier." β
"Do you know I did what happened last night?" Mo Qingxi asked, but then suddenly, "You deliberately arranged the purple clothes to be with me?"
"Didn't you know on the first day of departure?" Ye Jiuchen said with a sip of tea.
Mo Qingxi glared at him, "But you deliberately made me feel that Ziyi was acting behind your back." β
"Oh, is there it?" Ye Jiuchen had an innocent look on his face, Mo Qingxi was angry, if he wasn't anxious to know the news of his master, how could he be fooled like this.
The corners of Ye Jiuchen's lips hidden behind the cup were lifted, the little girl's big grape-like eyes seemed to be on fire, if her hair could be controlled by anger, he had no doubt that her black hair could stand up.
He seems to have overtly teased, it's not good for the little girl to blow up. How much this little girl holds grudges, just look at Yun Qianxian.
There's still a lot to do, but you can't let her do it out of her mind.
"Ahem, I do have news of the owner of the pattern, but I'm not sure if it's your master. Ye Jiuchen coughed lightly and said twice.
Mo Qingxi frowned, "What do you mean by this?"
"Well, when you meet that person, you'll understand. Ye Jiuchen hesitated.
"By the way, the Seventeenth Prince is now in the Temple of Light?"
Of course, Ye Jiuchen changed the topic too quickly, and Mo Qingxi hadn't figured out what he had just said, so he responded without thinking about his question when he heard his question.
When I looked up, I saw that Ye Jiuchen's dark eyes were as dark as the night and scattered with the light of stars, beautiful and dangerous.
"You take my words. Mo Qingxi was annoyed, she has always been very strict, and it was a great shame for her to be caught so easily.
He did it on purpose, first talking about Shi Niang's matter to distract her mind, and then talking about the matter of the Seventeenth Prince, and he easily got the information he wanted.
It seems that in front of him, her vigilance is not enough.
"It's not a clichΓ©, what I want to tell you is that if you want to meet the person I'm talking about, you will probably need the help of the Seventeenth Prince. Ye Jiuchen saw at a glance that she was guarding against herself, and she didn't sell it, and said bluntly.
Needing the help of the seventeenth prince, Mo Qingxi had an epiphany, "That person is in the palace!"
Ye Jiuchen bowed his head, a smile flashed in his eyes, and the little guy's reaction was really fast.
"However, I still don't understand a little, Ziyi said, this seventeenth prince is very favored, compared to the crown prince, and even his two children are not far behind, but why is it so quiet? The emperor didn't send anyone to look for it?" Mo Qingxi asked.
"This involves a royal secret, the mother of the seventeenth prince, Concubine Sakura, did not enter the palace voluntarily, more precisely, she was taken captive into the palace. Although her parents and relatives were not killed by the emperor, they also died because of him, so her attitude towards the emperor can be imagined. β
"And just over half a month ago, Concubine Sakura died of illness, and the Sakura Palace where she lived immediately caught fire, burning many people, one of whom was very similar to the seventeenth prince, so ......"
"So, everyone in the palace thinks that the seventeenth prince was martyred for his mother and died?" Mo Qingxi raised his eyebrows, it turned out that the emperor could really act arbitrarily, and if he liked someone, he could forcibly bring him back to the palace regardless of her wishes.
Originally, she thought that the people here were so open, but the laws were also very strict, so she thought it would be different.
It turns out that power is a good thing no matter where it is.
However, since the Seventeenth Prince was already a dead man in name, why did Ye Jiuchen still say that he needed his help?
Mo Qingxi thought so, so he asked.
"The news of the death of the seventeenth prince was actually deliberately released by the emperor in order to relax the vigilance of the other princes. Secretly, the emperor sent a lot of people out to look for it. As for the main force to look for, it must belong to the Green King. β
Mo Qingxi understood, Ye Jiuchen used this news to lure King Qing over. The intelligence network of the purple clothes has long found out that the seventeenth prince is in the city lord's mansion.
Although it was to avoid the emperor's secret assassination, Mo Qingxi always felt that Ye Jiuchen had other purposes for luring King Qing over.
Otherwise, the deal is not as good as it should be.
With Ye Jiuchen's ability, she didn't think he would be afraid of the emperor's assassination.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the place that she thought was strange before. Shouldn't his cooperation with King Ji be more secretive, even if he meets him by chance on the road, it can be regarded as blatant.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Mo Qingxi asked, staring at the person in front of him.
She didn't know about this court and this world, so she couldn't think about it at all, so it was better to ask me quickly.
"Then are you willing to help me?" Ye Jiuchen did not answer Mo Qingxi, but asked her solemnly.
Mo Qingxi's small hand knocked on the table, "I don't seem to have a choice." β
Not from the beginning.
As long as Shi Niang's news is still tightly held in his hands, she can only help him.
"It's better to be willing than to be forced. β
Mo Qingxi pursed his lips, you are obviously a threat.
