Chapter 241 See you at night

After a while, I heard Yuzhi knocking on the door and said, "Mother, I have prepared some snacks. Please use some."

Mo Ziyao answered, "Bry it in."

Yuzhi opened the door, and the palace people behind her came in one by one. The maids carefully put down their things and withdrew respectfully.

She did not go out with her, but came to help Mo Ziyao over, and then stood respectfully aside and stopped talking.

After today's events, her attitude seems to have changed. Mo Ziyao raised her eyes and glanced at her and found that she stood there quietly, very silent.

From her clothes, it can be seen that she has gone back to change the clean palace clothes and her hair has been carefully combed. At this moment, she stood straight, with a serious and serious face. In her bright eyes, there was a calm and firm light, no longer the pride and frivolity of the past.

It seems that after experiencing this series of things, she realized something, and the whole person matured in an instant.

"Don't just stand there, sit down and eat together." Mo Ziyao smiled and naturally took a piece of chestnut cake and handed it to her.

Yuzhi was stunned first, and then quickly took it with her hands. Looking at Mo Ziyao's eyes full of surprise, "Mother, you... are so kind to me." She said sincerely.

Mo Ziyao gently pushed the plate with pastries to her, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile, "Among the many maidservant in this Yuyao Palace, only you three are the most considerate to me."

Yuzhi was about to come and sit opposite Mo Ziyao. Hearing her words, her hands trembled slightly. She held the cake in her hand but did not eat it. Instead, she lowered her eyes and looked at the pastry and fell silent. After a long time, he whispered, "Mother, how can you be called a slave like this? The maidservant is ashamed, I don't know..."

"If a man is not a sage, who can have no fault? Let the past go." Mo Ziyao naturally knew that Yuzhi must be full of guilt at this moment, so she interrupted her directly.

After eating quietly for a moment, Yuzhi frowned slightly at Mo Ziyao and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about the necklace anymore, do you?"

Mo Ziyao nodded her eyebrows and slowly relaxed. She smiled and said, "That's great. In this way, the maidservant will be relieved." As she spoke, she got up and poured a cup of flower tea for Mo Ziyao.

Mo Ziyao ate and casually asked, "Will the emperor go to the Lingyi Palace tonight?"

Yuzhi shook her head: "Although I don't know where the emperor is going, I will never go to the Lingyi Palace. The maidservant heard that the Empress Dowager was particularly grateful to allow Mrs. Liu to accompany Mrs. Ya in the palace for one night, so the emperor would definitely not go there.

Mo Ziyao said nothing. Since Mrs. Liu is there, Ruan Lingzheng is really unlikely to go there.

Then I wanted to laugh again. Tonight, he was asked to face Mrs. Ya with a smile. With his proud nature, it was really hard for him. Obviously, the imperial edict had been planned in his heart for a long time, and he refused to write it. Liu Yanfei's words were heard in his ears and remembered them in his heart.

The Liu family was an important minister when the former emperor Ling Tiandi was alive. Liu Yanfei's father, Liu Yi, was already the elder of the two dynasties. He only had such a son as Liu Yanfei, but there were still many people in his direct line. Although he has now retired, his military power is from father to son, which is all under the control of Liu Yanfei today.

Moreover, when Ruan Lingzheng was able to ascend the throne smoothly, most of them still relied on his Liu Yanfei and the support of the whole Liu family. Therefore, most of the military power is still in the hands of the Liu family.

After all, Ruan Lingzheng has not ascended the throne, and it is not easy to take military power from Liu Yanfei's hands. But Mo Ziyao believes that as long as there is a chance, he will find ways to weaken the military power of the Liu family!

After using snacks, I ordered people to clean up and send them all back.

At night, Mo Ziyao slept in ** and couldn't help thinking about the glazed necklace. She thought that no matter how secret Meng Xiuyuan did, after all, paper could not protect the fire, and eventually she would show her feet.

The result will soon surface, at most in these days.

Because she was thinking about things, she couldn't sleep. When Mo Ziyao leaned sideways, she saw a figure coming in from the window. She was shocked and suddenly sat up to call. She only heard someone whisper, "Mother, it's my subordinate."

Mo Ziyao was stunned. It turned out to be Chu Qingtian. I can't help feeling a little happy.

In the day, when he heard himself say the word "mucin", he showed a strange look, and then because of the return of Eunuch Gan, he didn't have time to ask a word. It seemed that he was still worried, so he came in person.

Mo Ziyao put on her coat, reached out and brushed the curtain, looked at him and said, "How did you get here? If it is seen, it will not be good. I'm fine. Everything is fine here.

The lights in the room were blown out, leaving only a dim small lamp in the corner of the wall. Mo Ziyao couldn't see his face clearly.

Chu Qingtian just stood and didn't come forward. He whispered, "If it's okay, why don't you go to bed so late?"

Mo Ziyao is a little surprised. Is it late now? He blurted out, "What time is it?"

"It's too much time."

"It's so late!" If he hadn't said it, Mo Ziyao would have thought it was still early. No wonder he will come at this time and want to come outside. Except for the palace people on patrol, everyone else has fallen asleep.

Chu Qingtian nodded before he said, "Mother..."

"Optimus Sky." Mo Ziyao interrupted him and said bitterly, "Is it possible that there is no one in private? Don't call me 'Mother'."

Every time I heard him call herself "mother", Mo Ziyao always felt particularly sad.

Chu Qingtian was stunned, but he didn't answer for a long time.

After thinking about it, Mo Ziyao urged him, "Go back quickly. This is not the place you can come." She believes that he knows this truth better than anyone else. It was only today that he was asked to check the incense and spoke in a hurry that made him anxious, so he had to come late at night.

Chu Qingtian then said, "I'll go, but you have to tell me what's going on with the incense? Why do you think there is musk on it? Isn't it...is it with Mrs. Ya..." His voice suddenly lowered, and the last half of the sentence was that the ninja didn't say it.

He no longer called Mo Ziyao "Mother", but he still did not call "Ziyao" again.

Mo Ziyao smiled bitterly. She knew that Chu Qingtian must feel embarrassed. Listening to his words, I also know that he must have guessed some points. And he came late at night and became more and more sure that he thought it was related to him.

He heard Mo Ziyao not say anything, and then said, "Your maidservant and Meng Xiuyuan of Huayi Palace are entangled. If I hadn't passed the Cuihu Lake today, I happened to see the scene where they pushed your maidservant into the lake. I recognized her as your maidservant and was saved by me. Otherwise, your maidservant would have died long ago!"

At this point, he sighed, "I know, there are some things I shouldn't ask. But I just don't want anything to happen to you. I want you to be fine, do you understand?"

Chu Qingtian's words made Mo Ziyao feel sad. He could remember such a casual vow when he was young.

Mo Ziyao smiled reluctantly and said, "Qingtian, you go back. This has nothing to do with me, and I won't interfere in it, I promise."

She couldn't see Optimus Prime's look clearly, but she obviously heard him breathe a long sigh of relief. But he didn't leave immediately, but stood in front of her and looked at her for a long time.

Mo Ziyao finally got out of bed and walked to him. However, he suddenly took a few steps back and kept this appropriate distance from her.

Mo Ziyao couldn't help saying, "You should have left on the battlefield. Why don't you go? Now, he still wants to be the imperial guard.

His voice was faint: "That's all the emperor's grace."

Mo Ziyao smiled derangedly: "Do you really think this is grace?" It's just to comfort, just like this time, to comfort the Liu family. I remembered the imperial edict that would come down tomorrow. That's still what I said word by word from my mouth.

This time, after a while, he said, "For me, yes."

Mo Ziyao was stunned and looked at the man in front of her. Hearing his low voice, "I just want you to live a good life."

Slightly, Mo Ziyao said, "I'm fine now."

"But I'm still worried." Chu Qingtian's words were still so clear, and Mo Ziyao only felt a tremble in her heart. But he suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that you are too strong. You are always strong, which hurts me."

"Actually, I know that you and Gu Yanmu left that time, not only were they afraid that he would be angry with me, but also wanted to compensate for the harm you caused to him. Later, it was also because he and Gu Jinger took the risk to replace her in the palace. I know all this. Because you are too kind-hearted, you always think about others. You don't want to hurt anyone, but you hurt yourself alone.

"In those days when you were blind, you resolutely decided to learn martial arts for fear of implicating me because you couldn't see. You know how difficult it is for a blind person to practice martial arts, but you are so strong, silently insist, and never show anything in front of me. But I can't bear to see you sad, so I have to pretend that I don't know anything."

Chu Qingtian's words surprised Mo Ziyao and was a little surprised that he actually knew it.

His voice was still faint: "In the years of Chongshan, I can see that you had a happy life. You enjoyed the free and unrestrained days, and the smiles you showed were so natural and touching. I don't know when I was gradually attracted by your smile and every move. I carefully guarded this relationship, and everyone in the Shangwu League thought you would marry me..."

He paused and finally didn't say the word "wife" and continued, "Although your background is not noble, in my eyes, you are better than those young ladies raised by deep boudoirs who only know how to twist and respect the chief waiter-in-waiting. Oh, I have always been too Self-righteous. In fact, I don't deserve you at all. No matter how hard I try in the future, it's useless.

Mo Ziyao looked back in shock. He was so stupid that he didn't deserve it. He shook his head and choked, "Optimustsky..."

"Needless to say." He interrupted Mo Ziyao's words and said softly, "You have always been a kind and strong woman. I know that I have always known. I thought I could warm you with my heart and protect you with my hands. Oh, maybe I have had too much since I was a child, so I don't know what you want. Now I know that I have never been your beloved. And the emperor..."
