Chapter 129 Hiver
Mo Ziyao went back to Yuyao Palace and saw Xiaoxiao swinging boringly in the yard. Looking at her back, she remembered that she had something to say to her before going to Tairen Palace.
Mo Ziyao walked to the door and looked back at her, but saw her staring at the distance in a trance, as if she was thinking about something. In his left hand, he pinched a golden** that had been placed brilliantly in the yard. He sighed, moved his hand, and the petals fell to the ground.
Five people walked in at a time, and Xiaoxiao, who knew martial arts, was unaware of such a big movement. Shaking her head, Mo Ziyao shouted, "Xiaoxiao, come in!"
Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned when he heard the sound, and then he reacted. He turned around happily and quickly followed several people into the hall.
Mo Ziyao sat in the upper position and caught a glimpse of Wanqiu and Yuzhi standing beside her left and right, looking indifferently at Xiaoxiao in the center of the hall. She and Xiaoxiao came out of Guxian Villa together. In the palace, she is also the only person she can trust, but Wanqiu is far from Yuzhi and Xiaoxiao. Their origins have not been found out. How can they be used?
With a slight cough, Mo Ziyao waved her hand and said faintly, "Lanqiu, Yuzhi, you two go down first."
The two looked at each other, quickly said yes, and retreated regularly.
There were only two of them left in the hall, and Xiaoxiao suddenly felt much more relaxed. Before entering the palace, she was also the number one figure in Guxian Villa, but since she came to the palace as Mo Ziyao's maidservant, she found that she didn't know anything and did anything wrong. If it hadn't been for Mo Ziyao, she wouldn't have known how much her little head had gone home.
For a while, she felt that she was not as good as those new maidservant in the palace, so she felt inferior that she thought she was useless, and she was annoyed that she could not help Mo Ziyao in the palace. Now there are two more maidservists around Mo Ziyao. She felt more and more that she was superfluous, so she just sent it in the yard. A scene of stay.
"Mother, do you think the maidservant is useless?" Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at Mo Ziyao with inquiry and asked seriously.
Mo Ziyao raised her eyebrows slightly and laughed softly, "Are you distracted about this?"
Xiaoxiao nodded in distress and said, "If the Empress also feels that the maidservant is useless, then... then..." After that long time, she did not have the courage to go on.
She was afraid that Mo Ziyao would really abandon her for this. She knows that it is easy to enter the palace and difficult to leave the palace. Even if she retreats now and wants to go back to her hometown, it is impossible. If Mo Ziyao no longer needs her, then she will return to the halberd library and wait for other masters to pick her up like cabbage and radish.
None of those masters are stupid. Even if they are picked up, they will quickly check her details. If they know that she has been rejected by other masters, even if the new master is reluctant to accept her, he will be careful to guard against her so that she will not be reused.
So, she doesn't want to do that. She can't even sleep at the thought of these days. However, she thought that she would not drive her away for the sake of her desperate entry into the palace to protect Mo Ziyao. However, as soon as she thought of this, Mo Ziyao's words suddenly broke the only hope in her heart.
"Xiaoxiao, I want you to go back to the halberd library." Mo Ziyao's voice was not loud and her tone was soft, but after Xiaoxiao heard it, her heart sank little by little.
She tried her best to see Mo Ziyao's face clearly, but her tears were disobedient in her eyes. She is wronged and sad. A kind of sadness of being abandoned and trampled on. She has done so much for Mo Ziyao, but she can't wait to drive her old maid off when she has a new slave.
A handkerchief as white as snow stretched out, which was soft and cool, taking away her tears. At this time, she saw the person in front of her clearly and her distressed eyes.
"Mother, why did you do this?" Xiaoxiao asked sadly. This is her heart, which made her ask. Even at this moment, she didn't believe that Mo Ziyao abandoned her.
"Alas, Xiaoxiao, I knew you would think of me like this, but I have a reason to do so." After Mo Ziyao finished speaking, she took a deep look at her and said, "Come into the bedroom with me."
Xiaoxiao complained slightly in his heart. If there is anything, just say it directly. There is no need to cover it up. She followed Mo Ziyao into the inner room, saw her close the door with her own hands, and walked to the deepest part of the room before stopping. He also pulled a chair and sat down for her.
Xiaoxiao didn't know what medicine was sold in Mo Ziyao's gourd, so he had to stare at her with extremely unfriendly eyes. At this glance, Mo Ziyao lowered her eyes. She said in a low voice, "Xiaoxiao, from the time you were willing to abandon everything and follow me into the palace, I said to myself that as long as Mo Ziyao was there for a day, you would be Gu Xiaoxiao for a day."
"Mother..."
"Call me Ziyao, there are no outsiders here." Mo Ziyao said with burning eyes.
"But..."
Mo Ziyao shook her head gently and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, please believe me and yourself." Mo Ziyao walked to Xiaoxiao and sat down, reached out and held her hands and said, "It's a task for me to let you go back to the halberd library this time, not what you think."
Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed slightly and looked at Mo Ziyao's sincere eyes. She knew that she had misunderstood her before. Ziyao, if there is anything you need me to do, just let me know.
Mo Ziyao nodded with relief and said carefully, "In this palace, I don't believe anyone except you. Although Wanqiu and Yuzhi are smart and disciplined, I still don't know who they are loyal to. It is impossible for me to trust them again. However, you are different. Even if it kills me, I will protect you.
The corners of Xiaoxiao's eyes shed tears again, but this time it was moved to tears. Her confusion and grievance were completely put aside. The next moment, she nodded vigorously and said firmly, "I listen to you."
"This matter is very important, it's like this..." Mo Ziyao's eyes suddenly opened to the door. Her eyes flashed, leaned over Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered, "I will give you a chance to send you to the halberd library in the near future. You live there at ease first and learn the etiquette in the palace. Then, I want you to find a way to get close to Yi Zhaorong and gain her trust. Mo Ziyao stopped abruptly. She believed that Xiaoxiao was so smart that she would definitely understand what she meant.
The dark shadow pasted outside the door moved gently and disappeared in place. Mo Ziyao looked at the door thoughtfully.
Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment and bit his lips and said, "Don't worry, I can do it well, but if I'm not there, what will you do?" With that, she looked at the door worriedly.
She is worried about those newly separated palace eunuchs. Since she can lurk to Yi Zhaorong in this way, the people around Mo Ziyao are also very likely to be the eyeliner placed beside her by others. Thinking of this, she couldn't help worrying about Mo Ziyao's safety.
Mo Ziyao smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry about me, I will protect myself. It's you. After going to the halberd library, you must protect yourself. Then, her eyes floated out again, "I believe that she will definitely come to you in no time. After you follow her, help me figure out why she is targeting me. You report her daily actions to me every once in a while.
Xiaoxiao nodded again. Although she didn't know how Mo Ziyao could use Yi Zhaorong to take the initiative to find herself, she believed in Mo Ziyao's ability.
The two calculated in the room for a while. At this time, they heard footsteps coming this way from afar. They immediately changed the topic and chatted casually.
The shadow outside the door paused for a moment and seemed to hesitate to raise his hand and put it on the door, but it took a long time to hear her say, "Mother, Yi Zhaorong asked to see you."
Mo Ziyao and Xiaoxiao looked at each other and smiled, "Here it comes!" After Mo Ziyao finished speaking, she took the lead in going out. Xiaoxiao restrained her smile, her expression suddenly changed, and she changed back to her previous haunted appearance and followed her out.
As soon as Mo Ziyao came to the hall, she saw a touch of gorgeous peach blossoms floating towards her, and suddenly the room was full of fragrance. It is a taste made by kneading a variety of flower essences, elegant and a little fragrance. Mo Ziyao sucked her nose, but frowned. She doesn't like perfume, no matter how chic and smells good.
Yi Zhaorong came forward with the hand style of Nianyin, and the golden silk phoenix hairpin inserted in his ear shook slightly, making a "rustle" sound. He stepped forward, stopped a foot away from Mo Ziyao, gently blessed her, and said, "My concubine has seen the Empress Yao, and the Empress is auspicious."
Her voice is very clear but a little charming, which makes people feel that their bones are almost crispy. However, there is still a little respectful and flattering in his tone, which is completely like a different person in the Twilight Pavilion that day.
"My concubine took the liberty to visit today. I hope you don't blame me."
Mo Ziyao smiled and stretched out her hand and said, "Sister is polite. It's a sin for my sister to miss the distance."
Among all the concubines, those who didn't know her came the fastest and thought that she left the Tairen Palace early today just to come to Mo Ziyao to visit her.
"Don't shout like this. How can my concubine stand it?" Yi Zhaorong said with fear on his face. Mo Ziyao looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
Yi Zhaorong looked at her smile, but suddenly in his heart, but he also smiled and said, "It's the first time I came to the Empress, so I prepared some gifts, and I hope the Empress will accept it." Yi Zhaorong was followed by two maidservants, each holding a long brocade box in her hand. As soon as she waved, the two came up with things.
Mo Ziyao looked at Wanqiu and Yuzhi, and the two immediately came forward to see two brocade boxes and took them over.
Yi Zhaorong said coldly to the two maidservant behind her, "You go out first. I have something to say with my mother."
The two maidservant said yes and pushed it out without raising their heads.
Mo Ziyao went to the chair in the middle of the hall and sat down and glanced at the people in the hall. Yuzhi Wanqiu and others also retreated knowingly. At that time, Xiaoxiao stood still in the corner. Mo Ziyao looked at her and frowned, "Xiaoxiao, go and make two cups of tea."
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while before replying, "Yes, I'm going now." But the appearance is obviously very reluctant. But in the end, he retreated.
There are only two of them left in the hall, "Sit down." Mo Ziyao said.
Yi Zhaorong was not polite and chose a chair to sit down. As soon as I looked up, I saw Mo Ziyao looking at Xiaoxiao's departure back. Her eyes turned slightly and she said with a smile, "What is the mother thinking?"
Mo Ziyao withdrew her eyes but did not answer. She said coldly, "I don't know what's the matter with my sister coming?"
