Chapter 093 The Imperial Decree Arrives! Part Three
"So Dad wants to tell you that Xi'er must be sent to Dongli for marriage. This is not only related to the lives of hundreds of people in the Cao family, but also related to the national destiny of the entire Nancang Kingdom and the stability of the people in the world." Mo Tingzhong said with a face.
He was solemn and his tone was full of worry. His words really frightened Mo Lan. She was just a daughter, but she could also hear the seriousness of the situation.
"Dad... then... when will our Southern Cang Kingdom become stronger and no longer need to fear the bullying of powerful countries? At that time... maybe we can take our sister home." Mo Lan's gentle voice said.
With all kinds of helplessness, her eyes were covered with a light mist, she was just a sister, and her sister was very important to her, but what her father said about being born with common people also deeply touched her heart.
Mo Tingzhong did not answer his daughter's question. His deep eagle eyes were also covered with a layer of mist. He held his daughter into his arms with a choked voice and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
The next day, early in the morning, Bilan came to invite Mo Xi: "Miss Fifth, our lady invites you to come over for tea."
"Sister, what's wrong? I drank tea early in the morning, but my stomach is still empty! Hong Ling, I'll go over first, and you can bring some pastries..." Mo Xi frowned slightly and complained lightly.
, but did not refuse her sister's invitation and followed Bilan towards the garden.
"Sister is so elegant. She enjoys flowers and drinks tea early in the morning." Mo Xi smiled, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. From Mo Lan's eyes, she seemed to see a flash of sadness.
The two sisters sat opposite each other, Mo Xi stared at his sister Mo Lan quietly, waiting for her to speak first.
Mo Lan hesitated to speak, but finally opened her red lips and said softly: "Xi'er, I have something to ask you. Yesterday the emperor ordered you to get married. If you have any ideas about this matter, you might as well
Tell your sister."
"Sister, don't you understand me yet? Then the old emperor asked me to marry...am I going to marry him? Who does he think he is?" Mo Xi snorted disdainfully, and his originally warm eyes suddenly turned cold. Mo Lan
His heart sank.
Mo Lan lightly lowered his eyes. Somehow, ever since he promised his father to persuade his sister last night, he always felt sorry for his sister. But... what his father said was not unreasonable. The people of Nan Cang and hundreds of people in the Cao Mansion were killed.
, this moment seemed to turn into countless wisps of light smoke, invisible around her neck, making her almost suffocated.
"Sister, my good sister, if sister begs you... just obey this time, will you agree?" With this short sentence, Mo Lan felt as if a thousand years had passed since his mouth.
It was very, very difficult to spit it out.
"Sister, you... also want to send Xi'er to get married?" Mo Xi stared at Mo Lan with her watery eyes. At this moment, she only felt a sore nose. Even her favorite sister no longer wanted her, which made her feel resigned.
The feeling of not being abandoned by others made my eyes fall down. I didn't expect this feeling to be so uncomfortable.
"Xi'er, the Dongli Kingdom is powerful and has no rival in the entire Yuntian Continent. But just a few days ago, King Li of the Dongli Kingdom asked the emperor to find a woman in his painting to no avail. Because he left angrily, this
This matter will not only implicate the Prime Minister's Palace, but also very likely trigger a war. Except for you... no one can take on this important task. Dad did this out of helplessness..."
Mo Lan's answer also surprised Mo Xi. At the same time, she also realized a very serious problem and blurted out: "It's just me? Doesn't the person in the painting look like me?"
Her words made Mo Lan's eyes dim suddenly. He nodded slowly with a hint of bitterness and said softly: "If it weren't for this reason, I would rather marry Dongli on my behalf. As long as my sister can be free and happy, I will
Satisfied."
"Sister...I...I'll marry!" Mo Xi's heart trembled again. She had misunderstood her sister. In fact, her sister still loved her. Since this matter was of great importance, she didn't want to involve so many innocent people.
Life, if she could exchange so many lives with her own happiness, then that would be enough!
Because the fifth lady was about to get married, Mo Tingzhong pardoned the confinement of the eldest lady and the second lady. Now they can move around at home.
It is said that Mo Xi's medicine is really effective. After taking it for a few days, the second lady Mo Yingluo actually recovered. This news immediately spread in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The second lady Qin Ruotao naturally also heard the news and looked in disbelief.
With an expression on his face, he arrived at Qingyuan in a hurry the next second.
"Er Niang?! Why are you here?" The person who asked was Mo Lan. Her voice was very low, but compared to her previous self, she was much more generous and not as timid and timid as before.
Strange people will hide.
"Lan...Lan'er, Er Niang came here specifically to apologize to Xi'er this time." Qin Ruotao carefully apologized with a smile. Now her precious daughter's illness can only rely on that fifth girl, and the imperial doctor has said that there is nothing she can do.
"Hey! Has the sun risen to the west today? Our small temple in Qingyuan cannot accommodate Erniang, a great Bodhisattva. Erniang, please come back." Mo Xi's cold and sarcastic voice came from inside the house.
, the next moment people also came out.
The second lady Qin Ruotao's face was twitching unnaturally. She hated Mo Xi to the core of her heart, but she was suppressed tightly by the other party and was unable to fight back.
"Xi'er, after all, we are a family, right? I heard that Yingluo's illness was cured by you. Er Niang knows that you are a girl who cares about friendship. Yun Shi is also your biological sister. Now... you
The day of the third sister's wedding is getting closer day by day. If she is so sick and gets married, it will bring disgrace to our Mo family, right? What do you think?" Qin Ruotao is a soft-spoken person who is soft-spoken when she speaks.
That look is really disgusting to look at.
"What Er Niang said is right, but... you seem to have only heard half of what happened to Second Sister. It's true that I cured her illness, but I spent a lot of money on it."
." Mo Xi looked lazy and said casually. Without even looking at the second lady, he walked towards his hammock, lay down on it as if no one else was around, and closed his eyes leisurely.
repose.
Her attitude indeed made the second lady feel embarrassed, and she didn't feel respected at all. Mo Lan, who was standing next to her, was slightly startled, and then she realized that her sister was actually looking for money from her aunt.
