In the Buddhist hall, Mo Ye burned a stick of incense and stared at the curling smoke drifting away and dissipating in a daze for a moment. Then he came to his senses and walked to the soft couch beside him to sit down.
Empress Dowager Zhou asked Ziyu to make him a cup of tea and said to him: "It's the herbal tea prescribed by that girl Jin'er. It's calming. You can try it."
When Mo Ye heard this, he didn't want to drink tea at first, but now he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
A refreshing fragrance is refreshing, and a coolness reaches from the throat to the heart. It really makes people feel clear for a moment, making the whole body feel relaxed and refreshed.
He couldn't help but take another sip.
The Empress Dowager Zhou turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, the wrinkles on her face were deeper, and she frowned slightly and asked him: "What's going on when King Ying of the Eastern Qi Dynasty wants to marry Jin'er? There are rumors outside that even the Ai family has heard about it.
Yes, the matter is so big?"
When Mo Ye heard this, he slowly put the tea cup on the small table. There was no expression on his face, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him: "Dong Qi, North Vietnam's millions of troops are at our border in Daye."
We are on standby, if I don't give a satisfactory answer within three days, they will start massacring the city one by one."
Such a bloody and shocking fact was spoken so plainly, God knows how many twists and turns went through in his heart.
"Just...for that girl Jin'er?" The beads in Queen Mother Zhou's hand turned faster and faster, with some disbelief in her eyes.
"Qi Yunqian will always be like a lunatic." Mo Ye gritted his teeth and spat out this sentence with cold eyes.
"Then what does the emperor think?" Queen Mother Zhou raised her eyes and looked at Mo Ye's expression.
"Me?" Mo Ye sneered sarcastically and closed his eyes in pain, "Do I still have a choice?"
"Amitabha." Empress Dowager Zhou closed her eyes and recited silently in her heart. The beads in her hand kept turning. After a long time, she said again, "You and your father owe Ah Xiao a lot."
"If possible, I hope I don't owe him anything." Mo Ye opened his eyes, lowered his head and looked at his unique bright yellow dragon robe, with an extremely sarcastic smile on his face.
Yu'an Palace.
Ning Yujin lay at the window and looked at the guards guarding the outside. She twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly: "No, I just want to go out of the palace to see Xiangqiao get married. You can't do that."
No, why are you sending so many people to guard me? Are you going to put me under house arrest?"
"Perhaps it's because of the recent troubles that the palace and the palace have stepped up their defenses. Third Miss, don't think too much." Aunt Zhu comforted her.
Ning Yujin turned around and spread her hands: "I didn't think too much, it's just a little incomprehensible. There is no reason to put me under house arrest here. Even this morning I went to Kunning Palace to ask for the queen's safety.
My pulse was also stopped, so it would be weird if I said everything was fine."
Zisu handed the threaded needle and thread to Nanny Zhu, turned to look at Ning Yujin and said: "Yesterday, I heard that the emperor was very angry with Concubine Hui. It seems that the emperor was upset because of things in the court.
Look. I see that the ministers in the royal study have been coming in and out frequently recently. Something big must have happened. Now the concubines in the palace are all in danger. Miss, I feel relieved that you are being watched, lest you go out and cause trouble again.
Big trouble."
"Tch~~ Is this young lady like that?" Ning Yujin snorted disdainfully and absent-mindedly helped Aunt Zhu twist the ball of thread, her thoughts already drifting away.
She was destined to not be able to go when Xiangqiao got married to her mistress. As for the major events that occurred in the court, they were either natural or man-made disasters or some important intelligence came from the border. And when she thought of Mo Ye so quickly isolating her from the outside world, could it be because, Is that information related to Mo Jingxiao?
Could it be...
When she thought of that possibility, Ning Yujin's eyes suddenly widened and her breathing began to quicken.
Impossible, impossible!
Mo Jingxiao was blessed with a great fortune. That guy started working on the battlefield at such a young age. He had been doing nothing for so many years. How could he lose his life just by going to Xizhou?
I must be overthinking it, that’s for sure!
"Miss, why are your hands trembling? Take the ball of thread away quickly, can it be strangled?" Zisu hurriedly checked Ning Yujin's hand to make sure that she had not accidentally strangled herself. , and then I felt relieved.
Ning Yujin also regained her composure in an instant, smiled and waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm just teasing you."
Zisu sighed speechlessly: "What's so fun about this?"
Ning Yujin laughed "haha" twice and didn't even bother to answer.
Kunning Palace.
Shen Yixuan's belly was already swollen very high. Because the fetus was stable, the originally tightly guarded Kunning Palace began to gradually relax its restrictions. Some concubines were able to come over and pretend to have a look at the little prince, and pat the queen on the side.
"People say sour children and spicy girls. Seeing how the Queen likes sour food, this baby must be a little prince!"
Shen Yixuan had heard this saying so many times, she just smiled when she heard it: "I am also happy to give birth to a little princess. As long as she can be born and grow up safely and happily, I will be happy." I have no more desires or desires.”
"The Queen has a broad mind and an elegant demeanor that we can never match. Concubine Hui thought she would be favored, but she was reprimanded by the Emperor within a few days. Compared with the Queen, she was far behind. "
Shen Yixuan glanced at the speaker, and said with a faint smile: "There are many people in the palace, so don't say nonsense, otherwise it will be bad if others listen to you."
"Your Majesty, you have taught me a lesson." Na Sheng quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and the topic ended there.
At this time, I don’t know who spoke up and said, “I don’t know if you have heard about it? Eastern Qi and North Vietnam are preparing to attack Daye, and the purpose is for a woman!”
"For a woman?" The concubines obviously didn't care much about the war. Aren't they men? But it was actually for a woman, which immediately aroused the curiosity of several people.
Shen Yixuan stretched out her hand to fiddle with the tea cup slowly, glanced at her, and listened to what she said slowly.
The look in Shen Yixuan's eyes that often saw him was immediately encouraging, and he began to talk non-stop: "I also heard this from my brother, but it has already gone viral among the people. Do you know? This time the King of England of Dong Qi Qi Yunqian united with North Vietnam to send troops to Daye, who was it for?"
"If I know who it is, I don't need to ask you! Yun Changzai, tell me quickly!" Several people waiting to hear quickly urged.
Na Yun Changzai swallowed his saliva and said: "That person seems to have some identity. Several people in Shengjing probably know her name very well. She is the uncle Quan Ning who was chosen by His Highness Prince Ding. Miss Fusan!"
