Zhao Mo slowly moved into his cabin.

Zhen Zhong followed closely behind him. As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door behind his back and said, "Brother, don't be willful! The prince asked you to go back for his own reasons, not just for the reasons mentioned in the letter.

Chang'er is talking nonsense and has bad intentions. I will take him back and punish him severely. But brother, you can't forget your filial piety just because he said a few words to sow discord. The prince is anxiously waiting for you to return. Brother, I will follow you tomorrow.

Let’s go!”

Zhao Mo sat down casually: "I followed Yongjia Hou, and I planned to set off tomorrow. It was too hard to go on horseback, so it was better to take a boat. I went back comfortably all the way, and I didn't lose the effort of these two days. Zhen

What are you so anxious about? This is Cangzhou, only a few hundred miles away from the capital. Could it be that my father can’t wait for a few more days?"

Zhen Zhong is a person who will not change his mind after accepting the truth: "The prince wants to see my brother, the sooner the better, how can I allow my brother to delay any longer? If my brother had received the letter, he would have immediately

Back in Beijing, no matter what Chang'er said, he was already home by now, and the things that the prince asked me to do have been done long ago. How could he be so angry like now?! My brother is not young anymore.

Now, you can no longer play around like you did when you were a child, and do everything according to your temper. The prince wants you to do business, and you can’t delay it!"

Zhao Mo glanced at him: "So serious? What does father want me to do?"

Zhen Zhong stopped talking and paused: "Brother, you will know when you get back. The Crown Prince will tell you what to do."

Zhao Mo smiled: "Don't Uncle Zhen know? Can't you tell me first? It's still hundreds of miles away from the capital. If I could know earlier, I could also figure out how to help my father get things done.

Maybe I can do it directly after arriving in Beijing, wouldn’t it save more time?”

Zhen Zhong thought for a while: "That's not necessary. After I go back, I just follow the prince's instructions. The prince has already thought about what to do, so I don't need to worry about it."

Zhao Mo sneered: "That's not possible. What you mean is that I don't need to know the ins and outs of the matter, I just need to act according to father's instructions? But if I don't know anything, how can I do it? God knows father.

What are you telling me to do? Uncle Zhen, please don’t teach me about filial piety. Heaven and earth are kings and masters. Before my father, there is heaven and earth, and there is a king. If it goes against God’s will, ethics, national law, and the king’s order,

, then I can’t rely on him.”

Zhen Zhong's face darkened, and Zhao Mo was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Brother, it seems that he already knows what he will do after returning to Beijing? That's right, the people under brother's command a few days ago

I often went to the house, and some people were looking for the women and children in my house to inquire about the news. I originally thought that they themselves had heard some news, and felt uneasy, so they came to ask for information. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that they are all paying for the news.

Did you follow Brother's orders? I just said that now that Brother has grown up, he can no longer act like a child, but I was confused. Now that Brother has grown up, his mind will naturally grow with him. You have been in Jiangnan for so long.

, how could you really know nothing about what happened in the mansion? If you didn't know what happened in the mansion, you wouldn't have easily discovered Chang'er's flaw. I was the one who underestimated my brother in the past. In fact,

Ashamed."

Zhao Mo smiled at him: "I don't understand what Uncle Zhen said. What did I say wrong just now? Could it be that what my father wants me to do really goes against God's will, ethics, national law, and...

Disobeying the emperor's order? Otherwise, why would Uncle Zhen become so anxious when he heard it?"

Zhen Zhong said solemnly: "Brother, there is no need to talk in circles with me. There is no point in delaying time. The prince is anxious to see him, so I came here under orders. Naturally, I have to bring him to him for business. Of course, Marquis Yongjia

We have people under our command, but they may not be as skilled as ours. Besides, Marquis Yongjia is just an outsider, so if he insists on detaining someone else’s son, it would be unreasonable to bring trouble to the court!"

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "So, Uncle Zhen still wants to bring this matter to the court?"

Zhen Zhong choked, of course he wouldn't be so stupid, but isn't that what he said when he said harsh things?

Zhao Mo smiled and said calmly: "Since Uncle Zhen doesn't want to talk around in circles with me, I'll just be more relaxed. To be honest, it's not difficult for you to escort me back. But does father just expect you to take care of me?"

I'm just escorting him back? What do you want me to do for him when I go back? If it doesn't make me happy, can I do it for him willingly? Really

If you annoy me, I don’t have to confront you. I just need to pretend to be obedient and go back to see my father. When I go to do something, I will do the opposite of what my father wants. After I finish it, I will go directly to the East Palace to hide. Anyway.

The prince's uncle is also very kind to me, and he probably won't care how many days I have to live with him? What can father do to me then?"

Zhen Zhong's face turned dark. It is really possible for Zhao Mo to do this. When Zhao Shuo suffers a loss, how will his unfavorable confidant explain to his master?

Zhao Mo also said sarcastic words to him: "Uncle Zhen, don't worry that your father will blame you. Anyway, my father has always been very tolerant. Lan Fusheng even poisoned my brother and even tried to kill his father's wife. It was just a matter of course."

He was driven to stay in Zhuangzi, Liaodong.

I am expected to return to my father in a few years. Uncle Zhen just failed to coax me well and make me obedient. It is nothing. At most, he will be driven to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing for a few days, right?

I'll be back soon, and I won't suffer."

Zhen Zhong's face turned darker.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but his feet could not take this step no matter what. He knew in his heart that if it had not been a really critical moment, Zhao Shuo would not let him go out of the capital to pick up Zhao Mo in person. Now that he has seen

When he arrived at Zhao Mo, he must complete the task assigned to him by Zhao Shuo. Since Zhao Mo refused to take the hard route, he could only use softer methods.

So he calmed down the expression on his face as much as possible, and tried to say to Zhao Mo in a gentle tone: "Brother, there is anger in what he said, is it because the prince did not punish Fusheng severely? Don't worry, brother, since the prince has expelled Fusheng, he will not

I would let him come back again. The reason why I didn’t

Some people beat people to death with a stick, just because of the long-term friendship between master and servant. Moreover, although Fu Sheng used the wrong method, his heart was still for the prince. He knew that the prince wanted to divorce his wife, but he couldn't do it because it hindered the Wang family.

I was confused for a moment and went astray."

fool.

Zhao Mo didn't want to say anything anymore.

Zhen Zhong continued: "Whether it's what the prince said in the letter or Chang'er's slanderous words to sow discord, asking the prince to return to the capital to take care of the housework is actually just an excuse. The real reason..." He hesitated, "because

The Crown Prince was implicated by the Wang family and was now in a bad situation in the court. He originally wanted to explain something to the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, but the palace refused to summon him. The Crown Prince sent messages several times.

Going to the palace to ask for an audience was like nothing, but there were many bad rumors in the clan... The prince was unsure, thinking that when his brother was in Jiangnan, he had a relationship with the prince, and the uncle-nephew relationship was deep.

If I ask to see the East Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not refuse! Then I can help the Prince to say a few nice words and explain the misunderstanding clearly, and the Prince's dilemma will be solved."

Zhen Zhong tried to persuade Zhao Mo. In his opinion, as Zhao Shuo's son, if his father gets better, he will naturally follow suit. But if his father loses power, even if he has been favored by the Prince of the East Palace, he will be favored.

He was so implicated that he was far away from the center of power and gradually disappeared from the public. No matter how many complaints Zhao Mo had against his father, for the sake of filial piety and for his own future, he had to help Zhao Shuo. Otherwise, both father and son would be prosperous and both would suffer.

What future can Zhao Mo have?

He also said to Zhao Mo: "When the prince was in power in Beijing, even though I was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, I was admired by all the stars and flattered by everyone. But once the prince lost power, I would never be able to have such good things again."

Days have passed. How prestigious was the palace of the King of Shu in the past? The youngest son of the King of Shu was once a frequent visitor to the palace, and everyone who saw him would give him a thumbs up. What now? Even though the emperor was so kind and generous, he never punished him. He went out to attend the clan.

During the royal family's banquet, you still have to bear the anger of a three-year-old child. Aren't you afraid that you will end up with the same fate?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "Uncle Zhen is really eloquent. But I don't understand why my father was involved with the Wang family? Didn't I hear that my father planned to divorce his wife before? Although my wife later became pregnant, this matter of divorce

Let it go, but since he once intended to draw a clear line with the Wang family, why did he get involved with his family again? My father is the emperor's nephew after all, and he has always been valued by the emperor and the prince. As long as the clean ones clear themselves up, they can reconcile with the Wang family as soon as possible.

Let's get rid of it. Your Majesty is wise and will understand your father's innocence. So why do I need to beg for anything?"

Zhen Zhong frowned, and was about to persuade him again, but Zhao Mo interrupted him: "I can't explain these things among adults, but I've heard some interesting news recently. It seems that Uncle Zhen seems

I don’t know, why don’t I tell you, and Uncle Zhen also goes to check it out?”

Zhen Zhong suppressed the unhappiness in his heart: "Brother, what do you want to say?"

Zhao Mo smiled and raised an index finger: "The first thing is that Lan Fusheng has been familiar with Aunt Lan since she first came to Beijing, and the relationship was very close. They often met secretly outside at that time, borrowing

Is it the Qingxiu courtyard in the back garden of Longfu Temple, or is it a courtyard rented in the name of my father? Does my father know about this?"

"What?!" Zhen Zhong was stunned.

Zhao Mo didn't wait for him to react, and raised a second finger: "The second thing is, my wife's pregnancy may be a fraud. There is news that she is actually pretending to be pregnant. I don't know whether she bribed the doctor or ate it.

The medicine was actually just to stop her father's actions before he divorced his wife. But then she saw that her father didn't mention the divorce anymore, and she was afraid that if she kept it up, her flaws would be exposed, so she took advantage of entering the palace.

By chance, she acted out a drama to save the Queen Mother from having a miscarriage. With the help of the royal concubine, no one exposed her. Now that she has the Queen Mother's will to protect her, her father can do nothing to her anymore. He must not know about this either.

Bar?"

Zhen Zhong's mind was in a mess, but he still had some sense left: "Brother, where did this news come from? Who said it?! Is it reliable?!"

Zhao Mo did not tell him the source of the news, but instead raised a third finger: "The third thing is that Lan Fusheng actually found out that Madam's pregnancy was fake, so he secretly inquired about it again and again, intending to expose Madam and help Aunt Lan.

The main wife was eliminated, but his bad luck made the Wang family vigilant. They set up a trap and killed him, revealing the truth that he had poisoned Zhao Qi and framed his wife. I'm afraid his father didn't know about this either, right?

"

Zhen Zhong's eyes were widened and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
