Chapter 270 Between

The sound of breaking the wine glass also woke her up most of the time. She instinctively looked up at Ruan Lingzheng. Although she saw that he did not say anything, she did not show obvious displeasure on her face, but the deep brows showed that he was also angry at this moment.

The Empress Dowager's face was not so beautiful. Her eyes paused on Ruan Lingheng and stared at Mo Ziyao, her eyes full of displeasure.

Mo Ziyao unconsciously clenched her hands in her sleeves, turned her eyes slightly, and saw that there was occasional fish-like light shining from all angles, but it also lost its inherent hot temperature, as if it was reflected on the millennium ice. Just like her at this moment, she only felt cold, and even the sweat from the vest rolled over like round ice beads, causing a shiver.

However, no matter how panicked she was, she gritted her teeth and would not let herself panic and lose her proportion.

Although the Empress Dowager was unhappy about Ruan Lingheng's lateness, she would not say anything more in front of people, while Mo Ziyao's loss of honor made her find Xuan in an instant. Leak. Just as she was about to open her mouth to scold, Mo Ziyao had already taken the lead in kneeling down and bowed her head and pleaded guilty, "My concubine is not good at drinking, but because today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, she was happy and greedy for a few more cups, but unexpectedly, she was embarrassed and my concubine lost her honor."

Although it was explained, the Empress Dowager still looked bad. Mo Ziyao understands that the relationship between her and Ruan Lingzheng and Ruan Lingheng brothers is clear.

What she didn't know was that she was one of the main reasons for Ruan Lingheng's expedition in last year's invasion. Although she almost died to save Ruan Lingzheng, she still couldn't change the Empress Dowager's prejudice and disgust against her.

If she can, she hopes that Mo Ziyao, who came back from injury, will never wake up.

Mo Ziyao also did not notice that the scene where she and Ruan Lingheng looked at each other had already been seen by the Empress Dowager. That kind of eye-to-eye looks is too obvious and too dazzling. But on such an occasion, the Empress Dowager will not attack immediately. You know, what she is best at is hiding.

"The government must be angry with me, right?" Mo Ziyao bit her lip and suddenly was a little afraid to see Ruan Lingzheng's angry and disappointed eyes.

If you don't wait for the banquet to end, explain it to him. He knows that my heart is always on him. And Ling Heng lost his mind only because of the bracelet. At that time, I thought I couldn't live, so I didn't take back the bracelet. Find a time to get the bracelet back, and everything may be solved.

was thinking about it, but the Empress Dowager said in a calm voice, "Since Princess Yao is not strong in wine, she is a little drunk. Yuzhi, help your mother go out to wake up from the bar."

When Mo Ziyao heard this, she got up and nod her head again as a courtesy, "Queen Xie is considerate." He whispered to the table, "Empress dowager, emperor, my concubines will leave first..."

The hall was very quiet. Mo Ziyao hesitated and finally did not dare to look at Ruan Lingzheng again. She stood up straight, slowly left the table, and held Yuzhi's hand and walked out of the hall.

Crossing Ruan Lingheng, Mo Ziyao knew that his eyes had been fixed on him, and he quickly walked out of the hall uneasily, and felt much more relaxed. Ruan Lingheng's happy laughter and his late pleas also gradually drifted in the air as he went away and could no longer be heard.

Mo Ziyao came out of the Yanyan Hall and waited for Yunlan outside the hall to meet her. She did not ask Mo Ziyao why she left the table so early, but bowed her head and followed without saying a word.

Several people took a few more steps forward, and a small pavilion appeared not far away. Mo Ziyao and others raised their feet and entered the pavilion.

There is a small lake not far from the pavilion. The lake is connected to the pavilion. Sitting in it, you can hear the 'ding-dong' sound of the lake flowing. Close to the lake, there is a cool breeze blowing through the pavilion from time to time, and it is cool to sit in it.

After all, the Empress Dowager's birthday is a big deal. Although the concubines do not need to wear big makeup, they still have to wear standard clothes. In addition, the wine is hot, and their close-fitting clothes have long been soaked with sweat.

There were teapots and fans on the stone table in the pavilion. Yuzhi saw it and hurriedly came forward to pass the water with a fan. Mo Ziyao gave her a handkerchief and asked her to take it to soak it in the lake and apply it to her face later. Yunlan took the fan in Yuzhi's hand and shook it gently to drive the heat for Mo Ziyao.

The cold handkerchief was applied to his face, and it was not as hot as before, but once it calmed down, he couldn't help thinking of the scene in the hall just now, so he asked Yunlan, "I heard that the king of Pingzhen also wore a mask when he fought in the battlefield in the past. Do you know why?"

Yuzhi stretched out her head and said with surprise, "Your mother doesn't know? According to the news, the king of Pingzhen was too soft and had no deterrent to the enemy, so he created a silver mask on his face, which made people unable to see his face. His cold eyes, decisive killing, and cold silver mask made the enemy feel scared and fled as soon as he saw him.

Mo Ziyao said softly, "Then why didn't he come with a mask today? Are you afraid of touching the king of Tusala?"

But Yunlan laughed and said, "King Pingren never needs to wear a mask when he returns to the palace. After all, the people in the palace are familiar with him. Although his appearance is a little enchanting, no one dares to laugh at him because of this. The maidservant thought that as long as she had seen him kill the enemy on the battlefield, she could no longer despise him.

Mo Ziyao was silent and did not ask much more questions. Although Yunlan entered the palace a few years earlier than herself, she was only a maidservant after all. She may not know about the princes. And what you want to know still depends on yourself.

Yuzhi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do we have to go back to the table later?"

"The banquet is only halfway through, so naturally we have to leave here."

She clapped her hands happily and said, "That's good. When the banquet is almost over, there must be a program. At the annual palace banquet, the Empress Dowager likes to let the imperial concubines come out to show their talents, and this time is no exception. The Empress should prepare well, but she can't let those rouge fans compare.

Mo Ziyao took a sip of tea: "The protagonist of today's feast is the Empress Dowager, and the one who is accompanied by the glory is Yun Xianfei. Even if we really need us to show our talents, the person who is in the limelight should be Princess Hui. You should remember that we should avoid far away when we are in the limelight, so as not to cause trouble. Sometimes it's better to be quiet than to move.

Yuzhi pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "How can there be avoided in this palace? What if you can't avoid it?"

looked at her sideways, and Mo Ziyao didn't say anything. Yunlan said lightly, "Since you can't avoid it, you have to stay still for the time being and wait for the opportunity to do something unexpected to win. Mother, don't you think so?

Mo Ziyao smiled and said, "It's still Sister Lan who knows this palace."

Yunlan lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you for your praise."

After sitting for a while, Yuzhi was looking forward to it and said, "Do you want to go back to the table immediately?"

Mo Ziyao thought for a moment and smiled and said, "It's not easy to escape from the banquet. When I go back, I have to drink again. At this time, my heart is stuffy. It's better to go for a break and wake up." With that, he got up and walked out of the pavilion, and Yunlan and Yuzhi slowly followed behind.

The outside is more transparent than the air in the pavilion, and there are more century-old trees and vines in the courtyard. The flowers and trees are sparse, and the rockery is shaky, and the shade is green and gorgeous, which is a little cooler than other places. At this time, the green color is on the ground, but there are not many flowers. Only the pomegranate flowers are in full bloom, but they are gradually decadent. The flowers as bright as torches have a dark in their hearts, like a handful of ashes burned to the extreme.

Mo Ziyao slowly looked at the flowers and teased the birds again. Unconsciously, she went far away. After walking, my legs felt slightly sore, and I took a few more steps. Suddenly, I heard someone come out of the shadow and called out, "Princess Yao..."

Mo Ziyao was shocked and instinctively looked for a sound. Seeing King Xuan standing straight under acacia tree in front of him, the golden mask became brighter and brighter under the light of the night sky.

Mo Ziyao is curious. How could he stand here at this time? And I was slightly disappointed. I thought that the person who came out must be Ruan Lingheng's...

Before leaving the table, King Xuan was still in the table, and now he appeared here. Isn't he waiting for him to come out?

took a closer look, but was surprised to find that the female bodyguard beside him had never followed him. Somehow, his heart moved slightly, and he always felt that it was too ungrateful. He always felt that the bodyguard should be inseparable from him.

Step by step... Oh, why do you have such an idea? Is the brave and good king of fighting still afraid of being alone?

He didn't come over, and Mo Ziyao didn't go there. She was stunned and walked straight forward and said softly, "There is still something else in this palace. King Xuan, please do your own."

He turned around and was about to leave, but after a while, he heard the sound from behind.

Mo Ziyao didn't look back and didn't know what he meant. I unconsciously accelerated my steps and always thought that I could get rid of the people behind me quickly. But he didn't expect that his steps were getting faster and faster.

Mo Ziyao finally couldn't help saying angrily, "Why did King Xuan follow me like this?"

Angry in his heart, there is always a familiar feeling towards him. Those ink eyes seem to be able to understand everything. To him, Mo Ziyao lost her former calmness and roared. Unexpectedly, her body trembled slightly.

Mo Ziyao, Mo Ziyao, what's wrong with you? He took a big breath, but the steps under his feet did not stop and still walked fast.

He sneered and didn't mention Mo Ziyao's words, but said lightly: "I'm looking for you to ask someone."

"Who is it?"

"Qing'er, why don't you see her in the palace?"

Mo Ziyao's heart was shocked. He actually knew Gu Qinger, but he thought that he must be familiar with Ruan Lingheng. Maybe he entrusted him to find her. After all, their brothers and sisters have been friends for many years, and they will not let her go.

"She is now in a cold palace." Although she has always disliked Qinger, now she is also suffering from the consequences. She has suffered a lot in the cold palace for more than a year. If he wants to take her away, let him go.

"Cold palace?" Xuan Wang's eyes suddenly swelled, snorted coldly, turned around and left. He has come a long way, but he turned back to her and said, "I can see that you still care about kindness to him."

Mo Ziyao's heart was shocked. Although King Xuan did not say who he was, she knew it was Ruan Lingheng. And Xuan Wang also guessed her mind.

For him, I really care about a kindness.

Once, Ruan Lingheng saved her life again and again. She is not a hard-hearted person. How can she not think of his kindness and his kindness? What's more, there is still a three-life relationship between them. Mo Ziyao thought that if she had to pay it back, I'm afraid that this life will be unclear.
