Chapter 117 Resignation and Return to Home

When Mo Qingcheng arrived in the study, he did not see He Liancheng's figure and folded into the bedroom. He was changing his clothes. With a tall physique, white and strong muscles, like marble, long black hair pours down, and the whole person exudes an innate free and easy temperament against the warm sun.

"Are you here?" Seeing Mo Qingcheng coming in, he put on his underwear with a smile.

"What's important? Do you have to change your clothes before you can say it?" Mo Qingcheng walked up to him, carefully put on his robe and belt for him.

"It doesn't matter." He Liancheng closed the hair on her forehead and whispered, "Jingshan Marquis has returned from the frontier. He has resigned in the early morning today and will return to his hometown in the county soon."

"Is my father back?" A smile appeared on Mo Qingcheng's face, and it seemed that the war in the frontier had ended for the time being.

"Well, he misses you very much, and he must have prepared an afternoon meal for us now." He Liancheng raised the corners of his mouth with a light smile on his handsome face.

Mo Qingcheng raised his eyebrows gently, put his arms around his waist, and said, "You and your father get along well together!" He didn't send anyone to invite, but told you directly. It's really convenient for his servants.

He Liancheng smiled, and a pair of big hands gently stroked her black hair. There was a faint tenderness in his eyes, and there was also an unreachable arc at the corners of his mouth. "Who made me young and ambitious!"

"You are not modest at all!" Mo Qingcheng smiled coquettishly and hammered his chest.

"There is no need to cover up the big man's heart!" He Liancheng held her pink fist and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"The day after tomorrow is her 19th birthday, and she specially invited me to the birthday party." Mo Qingcheng raised her head and looked at him tenderly. In order not to worry him, she did not say anything about riding a horse.

"Did you refuse?"

"It's rare that she is not afraid of rumors and comes to invite her in person. How can I not go!"

"Okay, you haven't been out for a long time, just take this opportunity to relax!" He Liancheng said apologetically, "I haven't been with you well recently. Don't blame me."

Mo Qingcheng smiled gently, stroked his eyebrows, and said, "If a man makes contributions and aspires to be in all directions, how can I complain?"

He Liancheng lowered his head and kissed her lips, and even smiled at the corners of his lips. "I'm not intoxicated with fame and fortune. I'm greedy for glory and wealth, but I have to repay the kindness of the emperor."

"If one day the emperor drives to the west, would you like to give up this uniform for me, live in seclusion, and then face the sea, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and look at the clouds in the sky?"

He Liancheng's fingertips gently scraped the tip of her beautiful nose, with a tender smile in his eyes: "For you, I'm willing to give up everything, not to mention the district official title, even if it's my life!"

"I believe you, why do you say such poisonous words!" Mo Qingcheng gagged his mouth with his hand, "I don't want you to do stupid things for me. I just want us to live a safe and quiet life."

"It's easier said than done!" He Liancheng sighed and said with some worry, "The emperor is critically ill and has been bedridden. I'm afraid that King Cheng will soon succeed to the throne and set off another bloody storm."

"Didn't he say that the emperor just felt cold occasionally? How could he be critically ill?" Mo Qingcheng is puzzled.

"Since the emperor returned to the palace to worship the sky, he has been very sick. Now there are Xiongnu who are coveted outside, and there are treacherous sycophants who secretly communicate with the enemy. The Empress is worried that the court is unstable, so she declares that the emperor is just a minor illness. He Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and his words revealed that he had no choice.

"The emperor's body has always been tough, how could he suddenly fall down?" Mo Qingcheng's eyebrows were awe-browed, "Is the imperial doctor also helpless?" She doesn't believe that a good person will suddenly get angry and sick. There must be something hidden in it.

"The imperial doctor said that it was caused by the emperor's recent taking a large amount of elixir, and I'm afraid the time is running out." He Liancheng's voice was faint, but he couldn't hide the pity.

Mo Qingcheng was stunned, "When did the emperor start taking the elixir?"

The so-called immortal elixir is all toxic substances containing mercury, sulfur, lead and other toxic substances, which are extremely harmful to the human body. Modern people strictly prevent and reduce these harmful substances every day, but ancient people blindly eat them. This is not to save lives but accelerating death.

Throughout ancient history, the tragedy of the death of Fudan has been repeated repeatedly in the emperor's family. He originally wanted to live, but he died of poisoning. Unexpectedly, a generation of Mingjun Shen Hui would also believe in this kind of fictitious elongation technique, which really made Mo Qingcheng speechless.

"I don't know about this. I just heard that it was a Taoist priest specially invited by the emperor from Mingshan. He is not only proficient in health preservation, but also alchemy to continue his life. He is quite famous in the area of Qian County." He Liancheng's eyebrows were tightly twisted and his eyes were deep.

He never forced life and death. Now that the emperor has made a mistake, although he is not guilty, he is also sad.

"If the emperor makes a decision, others can't control it. You'd better let it go!" Mo Qingcheng saw his thoughts and comforted him.

He Liancheng nodded, and his sexy thin lips raised slightly. "Don't say that, what should come will always come. Let's enjoy the present!"

Mo Qingcheng smiled gently and hugged him more tightly.

"Go and settle down. They must be in a hurry." He Liancheng kissed her eyelids and whispered.

When the two arrived at home, Mother Guan had already been looking forward to it at the door. She must have been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the carriage stopped, she quickly greeted her and said with a smile, "Miss, aunt, you are back. The master and wife have been waiting for a long time!"

"It's not that we don't know the way, and your legs and feet are not good. Why wait outside!" Mo Qingcheng looked at her old face and said anxiously.

"Although the old slave is not in good health, this can still be done. If I hadn't looked forward to your coming, I would have come to serve him in the house. Now that the food is all over, you'd better go in quickly!" Mother Guan smiled and took over the cloak of Mo Qingcheng.

When I walked to the room, I saw a table full of soup dishes. An Hong, Shujing and Anyi sat in turn, but An Ji was missing.

"Father, aunt, big brother!" Mo Qingcheng and He Liancheng opened their mouths together.

"I'm looking forward to you!" As soon as Shujing saw the two, she immediately got up with a smile.

"Something in the house has been delayed, no wonder!" He Liancheng bowed slightly to apologize.

"Don't stand there. Eat first. The food is going to be cold!" Although An Hong's voice was strong, it was warm. It was a rare family reunion, and his mood was extremely comfortable.

"Yes, let's have dinner first. Sit down and say something!" The comfortable and gentle words passed by the breeze. Mo Qingcheng glanced at him and saw that he looked calm without any embarrassment.

Everyone sat down, and the lid was lifted one by one. Suddenly, the room was filled with a fragrant smell.

"Qingcheng, eat this, Panlong crab. Your father passed by Yangcheng and specially brought it back. It smells good. Try it!" Shujing took a look at Mo Qingcheng and pushed the dragon crab in front of her.

Mo Qingcheng looked at this world-famous strange dish and secretly worried. In order to make it easier to eat, this plate of dragon crabs was specially packed in a small plate. However, she still didn't know where to start. She has always liked to eat shrimp, crabs and other seafood, but she was not good at peeling shells, so she bought it in the supermarket every time. Now this Putting the whole thing in front of her, she was really at a loss.

"I'll do it!" He Liancheng took the plate and put it in front of him, wiped his hands, and began to peel off the shell. Although he was not very proficient, he was not astringent.

Mo Qingcheng looked at him in surprise and surprise. She didn't expect him to know this. She had been married to the general's mansion for so long and had never eaten crabs. She thought he hated crabs, so she never asked to cook this dish.

An Hong and Shujing looked at them and nodded secretly. Both of them were satisfied with the son-in-law He Liancheng. They were not only talented, but also young and talented, and so devoted to Qingcheng.

An Yi smiled stiffly, "My brother-in-law is really good at craftsmanship. Although I think this dragon crab is delicious, it is too troublesome. I have never been in the mood to try it."

"There is some trouble, but it's not difficult to do it, but in order to eat, you still have to do it!" He Liancheng said with a smile, and his hand didn't stop at the next moment.

That focused appearance moved Mo Qingcheng's heart, and it feels good to be taken care of!

"Okay, eat!" He Liancheng wiped his hands and put it in front of Mo Qingcheng. "It will be more fragrant with a little vinegar!" With that, she scooped a small spoon and put it on her plate.

Mo Qingcheng tasted it and raised his eyebrows, "It's really delicious. It's really 'the best in the world'!" This taste is not worse than that of a five-star hotel. In contrast, it has a natural and pure taste. Presumably, there are too many accessories in modern dishes, but they lose their original fragrance.

"As long as you like it!" Shujing smiled and put another plate in front of He Liancheng, "Come on, Cheng'er will eat too!"

He Liancheng took it with a smile and peeled it but still put it on Mo Qingcheng's plate. In fact, he really didn't like to eat this kind of food, so he never thought that Mo Qingcheng would like it. If he had known that she liked it, he would have tried to bring fresh crabs for her to eat.

"We will go back to our hometown in Zhang County in a few days. You can come back to see us often when you have time!" An Hong said reluctantly.

"Why do you have to return home when you get back to Beijing?" Mo Qingcheng put down his chopsticks and looked at him. His family was high and powerful, and he had a different surname. It was inevitable that someone would cove and slander him, but An Hong made great contributions, and it was difficult for anyone to regret his position for a while. If he was an official in the court, even Shen Muchen would have to give him some face, but he resigned as soon as he came back, which really made Mo Qingcheng Solution.

Before An Hong opened his mouth, He Liancheng fell to the ground with a "bang". His face was covered with sweat, his lips were white, his whole body twitched slightly, and there was a small red rash on his hand. Mo Qingcheng was shocked, "Fate, what's wrong with you?"
