the scenes
As soon as King Shanyang stood firm, he was sweating profusely and stared at the lacquer box that had broken into two pieces, feeling annoyed.
God! He didn't mean it! It seemed like something tripped him just now, and that's why he fell. His original intention was just to praise that beautiful lacquer box! Because he remembered the prince of Shu.
The machine box given to him seemed to be somewhat similar to this lacquer box, but the pattern on it was different. He wanted to praise him a little, so he used this as an introduction to take out his own machine box as a gift.
Well. Who would have thought that before he finished speaking his compliments, he would throw away the other person’s things?!
What should he do? Even if he can immediately take out a box as an apology, the machine box and the lacquer box may not be the same thing. Besides, an apology is not a birthday gift. Even if Prince Suning receives a gift, it is really
Will you feel happy? He only wants to please people, not to offend them!
King Shanyang looked at Zhao Mo and said with a dry smile: "This, this, this... I didn't mean it... I'll pick it up right away!" After that, he ran to the back of Duobaoge to pick up the box. Behind him was
There is a separate small room with a big Kang, which is where Zhao Mo usually takes a nap at noon. To a certain extent, it is a private space that is generally not open to outsiders.
King Shanyang knew very well that he did not dare to stay for a long time, let alone look around, so he hurriedly picked up the box and took it out. In fact, the machine box did not fall too badly, only the lid of the box was broken apart, and the main body of the box was not damaged.
It was damaged, and even the secret inner compartment was not exposed. It was just that the surface of the lacquer box was slightly scratched. After some repairs, the box could still return to normal. King Shanyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said with a smile:
"My lord, please forgive me. Just give me this box. I know an excellent craftsman. I guarantee that I can make this box as good as new without leaving any traces!"
Zhao Mo looked at him with a complicated expression and was silent for a while before saying: "No need, I have a familiar craftsman to look for. Uncle Wang, don't be polite."
King Shanyang was a little anxious: "No, no, no, this is not polite! I broke your machine box, so naturally I should repair it for you!"
Zhao Mo narrowed his eyes, and the prince's eyes flickered. They both thought in unison that this was probably the first time King Shanyang had seen this box. Even though the lid of the box was thrown off, the mechanism in the box was not exposed. He was
How do you know this is a "magic box" and not an ordinary lacquer box?! Is it possible...
The Crown Prince of Shu just saw at a glance that there was no letter in the machine box. He was once again glad that he stopped early and escaped the disaster. But now the person who takes the blame for him is King Shanyang.
He was just giving some guidance, but he didn't expect that King Shanyang performed better than he expected and had completely aroused the suspicion of the prince and Zhao Mo. If this continues, sooner or later the prince and Zhao Mo will regard King Shanyang as the real one.
The culprit, that way you can get away safely!
When the prince of Shu thought of this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he stepped forward and said to King Shanyang: "Uncle Wang was too careless. He will have to apologize to Prince Suning later. But who can I find to repair this box?"
, it depends on what the prince wants. Prince Suning also has good craftsmen in his own house, so there is no need for outsiders to interfere." He deliberately winked at King Shanyang, and King Shanyang smiled hesitantly: "Well... then okay.
, just listen to the wishes of the county prince. But I will definitely send you an apology later. The county prince must not refuse it again. I really want to apologize to you!"
Zhao Mo twitched his lips: "Uncle Wang, you're welcome. Actually, you don't need to be so polite. It's just... just an ordinary box." He took the machine box, casually closed the lid on the box, and put in many treasures.
When I put it on the grid, I felt complicated.
Anyone who regards his enemy as a serious problem and has been on guard for a long time will not feel better if he discovers that the other person is not a smart person. What if the other person is a little stupid? Zhao Mo knows that he is indeed almost there
He was plotted by the other party. If the strange behavior of his younger brother Zhao Qi had not been discovered in time, and it was rare for Zhao Qi to understand things at a young age...
Zhao Mo turned around and glanced at King Shanyang. He still couldn't believe that such a person was colluding with the Beirong people to plot against him. Could it be that the stupidity shown by King Shanyang was all a lie? He was actually a shrewd and cunning man inside.
What an old fox? But if he really had this ability, how could he have accomplished nothing for more than thirty years and lived a life of being looked down upon and despised by others?
Zhao Mo had a lot of confusion in his heart. When he and Qin Hanzhen had discussed before, he regarded the Crown Prince of Shu as the most suspicious candidate and did not take King Shanyang seriously at all. But... if the real suspicion is
Prince of Shu, why did King Shanyang take the initiative to pick up the mechanism box? Take the initiative to destroy the mechanism box? Or even take the initiative to mention in front of the prince that he wants to visit Prince Suning's Mansion?
Is this the plan of the clan that colluded with the Beirong people and designed to frame Zhao Mo? He hid the forged letter in the machine box in advance, and then persuaded the prince to come to the palace of Suning County on his birthday, and
The main messenger goes with him, looking for an opportunity to break the casket and reveal the letter inside. Then he can take the opportunity of picking up the casket and the letter to reveal the contents of the letter and reveal it to the prince, thus setting him up.
If there were no letters in the box, perhaps King Shanyang could have done more. Since he appeared in this study and did so many weird behaviors, it is said that he is innocent... Zhao
Mo didn't think it was convincing.
The chamberlain sent by the prince to deliver the message once mentioned that the prince of Shu and King Shanyang had a very happy conversation in the East Palace, and then he asked His Highness the prince to accompany him to the palace of Suning County. Could it be that the prince of Shu and King Shanyang had a pleasant conversation in the East Palace?
An accomplice?
Zhao Mo glanced at the Prince of Shu subconsciously, and frowned slightly when he saw the calm and innocent look on his face.
The prince's expression was not very good. He was originally going to watch a play today, but he didn't expect that after watching the play, the actors performed so poorly, not at all as brilliant as he expected. He almost let it happen like this
Did the clumsy and stupid people set up a scheme? Was King Shanyang too stupid and thought he could deceive everyone, or did King Shanyang think that his prince was too stupid to see through such a ridiculous performance?
What is most difficult for the prince to understand is that King Shanyang, who should not have extravagant thoughts no matter how he looks at it, actually dares to dream of adopting his son into the royal family? Is he still obsessed with his father's failure? Is he always thinking about the present?
Does the royal family hold a grudge? If he wants to compete for the throne of the emperor, it means that he must defeat all the children of the clan who may compete with his son. Zhao Mo may be just the beginning. It is estimated that there will be more people he wants to attack in the future.
A lot, right? But King Shanyang is not a close member of the clan, his late father is a sinner, and he has a dark history of colluding with the King of Shu. He wants to let his son of a different generation join the royal family, and he needs to defeat someone.
There are so many. Are the lives and futures of these clan members not worth mentioning in his eyes? Why has no one discovered that King Shanyang is such an ambitious man who is so good at concealing himself after more than thirty years?
!
The prince suddenly lost the mood to be conceited. He hastily said a few words to Zhao Mo, kept the things he had prepared to give to Zhao Mo as a birthday gift, and hurried back to the palace without taking Shu with him.
Prince Wang and King Shanyang. He needs to tell his father about today’s experience in Suning County Prince’s Mansion and seek his father’s opinion. Maybe the royal family is too indulgent to King Shanyang, and now they no longer need such a person.
It is a living sign that is not worthy of the name to prove the emperor's mercy. It is better to let the guilty people accept the punishment they deserve.
Zhao Mo was a little more patient than His Highness the Crown Prince, and reluctantly greeted King Shanyang and the Prince of Shu to chat for a while. Then King Shanyang presented his birthday gift one after another, including a machine box that looked similar to
The one he broke earlier was quite similar: "Just now I saw that the two boxes were quite similar, so I wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but unexpectedly I fell..."
Zhao Mo smiled and looked at the organ box he gave him, feeling even more wary. If he didn't have a clear understanding of the organ box in his study in advance, how could King Shanyang prepare such a similar gift?
There really is something wrong with this guy!
But the prince of Shu may not be innocent.
Zhao Mo couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Prince of Shu. The Prince of Shu kept staring at King Shanyang and didn't notice his gaze. When he noticed and turned around to look over, Zhao Mo had already turned his head and met him.
King Shanyang went to speak.
After the prince left, the two uninvited guests stayed in the Suning County Prince's Mansion for half an hour longer before saying goodbye and leaving. For the sake of safety, the prince of Shu deliberately stayed for a little longer, as if he was kindly doing something for King Shanyang.
Defense: "Uncle Wang must not have meant it. He heard that the prince liked the machine box, so he prepared a gift in advance. However, he saw a similar box in the prince's study. He was curious and wanted to get closer.
You see. If the two boxes were exactly the same, he would be embarrassed to give the gift away. Such a flaw would never occur to him. He really prepared the gift with great care, and even asked the chamberlain of the East Palace beforehand to ask the prince about the gift.
It's his preference. If not, he wouldn't use the machine box as a birthday gift."
Zhao Mo thought to himself, was the Prince of Shu's words unintentional, or was he implying something? If King Shanyang had specifically asked the servant of the East Palace about his preferences, it should not be difficult to find out that he already had a similar mechanism.
The box was rewarded by the prince. Did King Shanyang really prepare such a gift by chance, or was he planning to use this as an excuse to deliberately break his own machine box and expose the hidden letter in the box?
No matter what King Shanyang’s intentions were, the Prince of Shu specifically said this, it must be because of him, right? Is this some suspicion of gossiping behind his back? Did the Prince of Shu hope that he, Zhao Mo, would think that King Shanyang had ulterior motives?
Just when the prince of Shu was "interceding" for King Shanyang in front of Zhao Mo, King Shanyang, who had taken the first step, was actually not idle either. He was talking to Ah Shou who was seeing off the guests: "This little brother,
I'm really rude today, I don't know if the county prince is angry or not. I must say a nice word for me, I really didn't mean it..."
He stuffed a bulging purse into Ah Shou's hand, with a look of annoyance on his face: "I don't know what happened at that time. I was walking normally, but I tripped. I didn't drop anything at that time.
Object... But I feel like someone tripped me. The closest one is the Prince of Shu. To be honest, that is my nephew, and he has always been kind to me. I shouldn't think too much about it.
, but it’s not that I don’t have any grudges with him. Maybe he just wanted to make a joke on me deliberately and make me suffer a little loss..."
