Chapter 266 Private

Mo Ziyao sighed in her heart and thought too much, which always annoyed people. But this time, there are so many things in my heart that I can't sleep.

Then, I thought of King Xuan. I didn't expect him to wear a mask to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. However, I just heard him speak, and the voice did not seem to belong to Gu Moli.

So, who is he? Is he the real king of Xuan?

Mo Ziyao thought that she had never been to Tusala and should not have known Xuan Wang, but the man felt that he was clearly so familiar with him.

Perhaps someone can solve their own problems. She thought of the person who had only seen two faces but had a lot to do with Gu Moli and Xuan Wang...

I don't know how long it took before I felt that the imperial driver slowly stopped, and then the voice of Duke Jin came in: "Your Majesty, here we are."

Mo Ziyao opened her eyes. Ruan Lingzheng happened to look down at her and smiled, "You woke up in time."

Mo Ziyao smiled and said nothing. It's not timely. She didn't fall asleep at all.

He was not in a hurry to go down, but ordered: "Let people take Yukan, Mengni and Tusala to rest in the Gibin Hall, and tell them that the dinner will start at three o'clock."

"Yes." Grandpa Jin answered and said a few words outside before he shouted again.

The imperial driver slowly moved forward again. Ruan Lingzheng took a shallow breath and then smiled, "I was preparing for the Empress Dowager's birthday for the first time, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."

Mo Ziyao smiled and said, "Although it's hard and troublesome, isn't the emperor still enjoying it?"

He smiled and said, "Yes, it's worth being a son to hold a birthday party for his mother, even if he is tired. As long as she is happy."

When I went to the gate of the palace and went down, I saw that the people in the back were no longer seen in the country. Ruan Lingzheng had already stepped down. When Mo Ziyao saw Wanqiu coming forward, she helped her hand down.

"See you, Emperor! See you!" The palace people all knelt straight outside to welcome the arrival of the holy driver.

Ruan Lingzheng stepped forward and shouted. Mo Ziyao followed him, and the group walked in.

The voice of Chu Qingtian came from behind him. He ordered the Royal Forest Army not to take it lightly and firmly protect the emperor's safety.

As he walked inside, he saw a bodyguard dressed up and said to him, "Your Majesty, General Liu has been waiting in front of you for a long time. He said that he had something urgent to report..."

Before the bodyguard finished his words, he heard Ruan Lingzheng cough. Mo Ziyao knew that they had something to talk about, so she said knowingly, "Your Majesty, I want to go back to the palace to change my clothes."

After a while, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, guests from various countries, civil and military ministers, and several princes will be present. As a concubine accompanying the emperor, Mo Ziyao knew that her appearance and makeup must be decent and solemn. And now this light dress must be unsightly.

Ruan Lingzheng looked at her and said, "Go ahead, don't be late."

"My concubine knows." Mo Ziyao nodded, helped Wanqiu's hand and turned out.

She knew that Liu Yanfei was so eager to find Ruan Lingzheng that something must have happened to the station.

Hingni, did you really do it? I just don't know, how much did the Liu family lose this time?

After taking a few steps forward, he did not go in the direction of Yuyao Palace. Wanqiu hurried forward and said, "Mother, aren't you going back to the palace?"

Mo Ziyao smiled and said, "It's still early for dinner. It's better to walk around first."

Hearing this, Wanqiu didn't say much, but just followed.

When she went down the steps, Mo Ziyao heard Chu Qingtian call and said, "Your concubine, where are you going?"

Mo Ziyao turned around and saw him standing ten feet away. He knew that he was worried about his safety. After all, it is different from before.

Today's palace has too many people, and it is also messy. However, it is inappropriate for him to follow himself. Ruan Lingzheng is still discussing things with others. As the imperial guard, his primary duty is to protect the emperor's safety.

If he follows, he will leave his post without permission. Therefore, he wanted to ask Mo Ziyao where she was going. In fact, he was telling her not to walk around.

Mo Ziyao smiled at him and said, "I'm just walking around here. It's not a big deal. Chu's bodyguard is here.

What else did Chu Qingtian want to say, but Mo Ziyao has turned around and went straight forward.

The people behind did not keep up, but said, "You two, follow the noble concubine Yao from afar to protect the noble concubine!"

"Yes." The two answered, and then they heard the sound that followed.

Mo Ziyao winked at Wanqiu. She was surprised and quickly turned around to stop the two people who wanted to follow.

"Qingtian, I know it's for my good, but I'm going to see someone. Ruan Lingzheng can't know about this."

After walking for a while, she heard the sound of late autumn catching up. She gasped slightly and said, "Mother, where are we going?"

Mo Ziyao glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Do you remember that New Year's Eve when I folded plum blossoms in the imperial garden?"

Wanqiu was stunned and immediately nodded: "I remember."

Mo Ziyao looked forward and said faintly, "Suddenly want to see the scenery of the plum garden at the end of spring. You don't have to follow."

Wanqiu's eyes were slightly stained with worry, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, let me accompany you."

Mo Ziyao waved her hand and only walked forward. Wanqiu was so anxious that she paced back and forth, hesitating to keep up, but soon found that the person in front of her had left her vision and gone far away.

Mo Ziyao knew that Wanqiu, like Chu Qingtian, was worried about her safety, but after all, she was a member of Ruan Lingzheng. And it's better not to let him know the person you want to meet this time. Although, I don't know if we can really meet.

At the end of spring, the plum forest has not seen a sea of flowers in full bloom, but after the harsh winter, the branches and leaves are flourishing.

Mo Ziyao looked up and could faintly see the palace people walking outside the garden through the woods. It's just that these people's clothes no longer belong to Ruan Nanchao. From here, go straight out to the north, that is, the Jibin Hall. Foreign guests are currently arranged to rest there by Ruan Lingzheng.

Standing in the depths of Meilin, you can clearly see the people outside, while the people outside want to see the inside, but they can't see anything.

Linzi is so complicated that even if Wanqiu finds her and Meilin is so big, she can't find herself at once, Mo Ziyao thought.

The steps under my feet were slightly accelerated, and soon I came to the side of the plum trees that had come before. After standing for a while, I heard footsteps behind me. Looking back, I saw someone coming this way. The man took a few steps and seemed to find someone in the forest. Suddenly, he stopped and looked this way. When he saw Mo Ziyao, he trembled all over. First, his face showed shock, and then there was unspeakable joy. He quickly walked this way and muttered, "Xueer..."

When he approached, he found that the person standing in front of him was not Xueer, who was thinking about the night, but Mo Ziyao, the emperor's concubine. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly saluted: "Xiao Wang has seen the noble concubine Yao."

Mo Ziyao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite."

Ruan Lingjun turned his eyes and glanced across the plum garden. His eyes fell on the other side of the Jibin Hall, but he quickly withdrew his eyes and looked at Mo Ziyao and smiled, "What a coincidence!"

Mo Ziyao did not answer immediately, but took a few steps forward and looked at the Jibin Hall not far away and said, "I once heard the prince say that this palace is five points similar to her. I don't know how much the princess is similar to her?"

Mo Ziyao's words made Ruan Lingjun tremble all over. Although he did not say who "she" was, he knew that what "she" in his mouth was talking about was Yu Zhixue, his former crown princess, Yuchi Lianxue.

"It seems that it is not a coincidence that Xiao Wang met the imperial concubine Yao. You are waiting here to know about the snow, right?"

When he mentioned the name of the snow, Mo Ziyao found that his lips trembled. It seemed that he had never forgotten the snow, but buried that affection deeply in the bottom of his heart.

Mo Ziyao stepped forward and said, "No matter what the snow has had with the prince and the emperor, it's all over. Now the emperor has a palace, and the prince also has a princess and a little prince. Why bother to make your brothers unharmony for a woman?

Ruan Lingjun was a little distracted, but he still shook his head and said, "The noble concubine is not Xiao Wang. You won't understand."

Mo Ziyao's heart moved slightly. It seems that the reason why Ruan Lingjun is so targeted Ruan Lingzheng is the snow.

Although she died, she will always live in the hearts of their brothers.

Mo Ziyao put away her smile and said coldly, "Is that why you are against the emperor? As the prince of Ruan Nanguo, you have the noble blood of the royal family flowing in your body, but you do not hesitate to join hands with foreign vassals to deal with the emperor for a woman. Is it the meaning of your life to let the foreign vassals invade our Ruan Nanguo and bring down Ruan Lingzheng? When doing this, have you ever thought about the princess and the little prince who longed for his father's love in his baby?

Sure enough, hearing Mo Ziyao say this, Ruan Lingjun's face was finally moved. Under that faint color, layers of anger rose. His hand hidden in his sleeve clearly showed that he had clenched it fiercely. It seems that he was a little annoyed by Mo Ziyao's aggressive words.

After a long time, Ruan Lingjun returned to normal. He looked up at Mo Ziyao and said in a low voice, "Your concubine, I will say it again. I have never hated my second brother for seeking power to succeed to the throne, and I will not be unconformal, and I have never joined hands with foreign vassals to deal with Ruan Nan!" Although he suppressed it, when he said this, he was still excited and even his body trembled a little.

Mo Ziyao did not look at him, but sneered and whispered, "On that day in Zhubai Peak, you clearly played the role of a general of the enemy country, and you joined forces with King Pingyi to design and frame the emperor. In the battle of Humadu, although you are not seen in person, who knows if you are operating secretly?

He looked at Mo Ziyao, shook his head helplessly and slowly said, "It seems that the noble concubine has a deep misunderstanding of Xiao Wang. She met you at Zhubaifeng that day, but she was entrusted by someone. And who is that person? I believe that the noble concubine knows it in her heart..."

"Your Majesty." Mo Ziyao interrupted him and said, "I have my own judgment on whether this matter is misunderstood. Tonight, I specially waited for the prince here, just to tell the prince that in the emperor's heart, you will always be his brother.

She intended to tell him to pull back from the cliff earlier and not to blind his mind because of hatred. Nothing is more precious than brotherhood.

Ruan Lingjun was stunned, but suddenly smiled and said for a moment, "I have never done anything wrong with people. However, it's a great blessing for the emperor to have a noble concubine Yao.

After saying that, he turned around and left. After a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and then turned around and smiled and said to her, "I believe tonight must be very interesting." After saying that, he went far without looking back, leaving Mo Ziyao alone in place.
