Chapter 16 Difficulty
Through the Royal Garden, Mo Ning's face became more and more serious. He stared at the front with cold eyes. From afar, he had already seen Hua'an Palace. Several eunuchs and maids at the door were busy. After seeing Mo Ning, they quickly bent their knees and bowed. Entering the main hall was an exquisite Guanyin statue. Obviously, after the worship, several pillars of incense rose. With a few wisps of smoke, she told Nuan Yu and the nameless to wait outside and walked through the side hall before entering the bedroom.
"The Empress Dowager, the Empress is here, and the maidservant is waiting outside. If you have something to do, please call her maidservant." After saying the words, my aunt retreated. In the whole huge room, there was only Mo Ning and the woman lying in **.
"See Queen Mother." Mo Ning knelt down and saluted and looked at the woman with a pale face. Her makeup was simple, but she did not lose her dignity. The ordinary appearance made her a little confused. Is she the beloved concubine Hua?
"Come here and let me have a look."
Her voice was very steady, with a sense of sadness that had gone through the years. Mo Ning did not dare to neglect. She took a few steps closer and knelt on the edge of the collapse. She gently put her hand on Mo Ning's face and smiled, "Is Mo Ning?"
"After returning to the mother, yes." Mo Ning's voice was very soft, and she didn't dare to come out. This woman has always had a strong aura, which made her unable to help but feel afraid.
"Go and pour some water for the Ai family." Her voice was very soft. She let go of her hand and coughed violently. Mo Ning got up quickly. She was in a hurry. Maybe she got up faster, which made her a little dizzy and wanted to vomit. Her stomach churled for a while. Fortunately, she didn't eat too much at noon. She poured water well. After the strange feeling of her body passed, she did not dare to delay. Quickly handed over the water in his hand.
"It's a little cold. Pour another cup."
She didn't open her eyes and said something to herself. Mo Ning was confused, but she didn't say anything. She got up and poured a cup.
"This cup is hot..."
Mo Ning got up again and poured a cup again. She took a long breath. What should come, she couldn't avoid...
Until she returned to Fengluan Hall, Mo Ning's nerves were still a little tense. She didn't understand why the Empress Dowager called her, and she didn't know why the Empress Dowager asked her to pour water again and again. She had a little backache, which caused her to fall asleep when she got into bed.
Nuan Yu complained to the nameless as usual. The nameless just stared at the moon, thinking about something in his heart, and did not listen to what Nuanyu was saying at all.
After the second update, Zhong Xuanyu came to the Fengluan Hall. Nuanyu quickly opened the door and found that he came here alone. He quickly packed his luggage. Nuanyu stepped forward and asked softly, "Your Majesty, why are you here? The young lady has been asleep for a long time.
"Did you go to the Empress Dowager today?" Zhong Xuanyu did not answer him and took a look at the nameless strange eyes. Somehow, the little eunuch seemed to be a little strange, but he didn't think much.
"If you go back to the emperor, yes." As Nuanyu spoke, she introduced Zhong Xuanyu into the room and served tea with her hands. Thinking of the young lady's appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little wronged, so she complained and said, "Miss is serving tea for the Empress Dowager for two hours."
Hearing what she said, Zhong Xuanyu looked calm and said lightly for a long time, "In the future, I will call her again, and I will definitely ask for my consent."
Hearing what he said, Nuan Yu suddenly became happy and answered quickly, "Yes." After that, I retreated.
Zhong Xuanyu took a deep breath and approached the inner room. Looking at her frown, his heart couldn't help tightening. He took off his brocade robe, hugged her curled body, closed his eyes and gently kissed her hair. "Ning Er, the bodyguard just came back. Why did he take the risk to deliver the military secret? Why was he caught by Yun? Stop, if I don't find it, I can turn a blind eye, but what should I do? I'm an emperor, and I can't be selfish. Do you understand? Ning'er..." Zhong Xuanyu said it very lightly. Unexpectedly, he burst into tears inexplicably in the last voice of Ning'er. He is an emperor. He can't be selfish. Everyone is looking at him. Besides, he must do this.
Mo Ning seemed to feel something and drilled into the warm arms. It was not until the warm tears fell on her cheek that she woke up a little and her eyes were a little confused, "Xuan Yu?"
"Well, I'm here." Zhong Xuanyu's voice was very soft, and he hugged her tightly, afraid that if he didn't pay attention, the person in his arms would disappear.
"Why are you crying?" Mo Ning was sleepy, and the room was dark. She couldn't see his expression. After her eyes adapted to the darkness, she slowly touched his face.
"Nothing, I'm just too tired." He said a few vague words to avoid her question and held her tightly in his arms, "Go to sleep."
Mo Ning saw that he didn't want to say anything and didn't ask much. She just answered gently, "Uh-huh."
The night was long, but Zhong Xuanyu couldn't sleep all the time. He simply put on his cloak and came to the yard. In his mind, there was only the jade pendant and the letter intercepted by the cloud bodyguard.
He remembered that he had studied literature with Mo Yan since he was a child. He was very familiar with his words. Looking at the content of the letter, he actually laughed. Two simple lines of words revealed the terrain and flaws in Minchang and other places. He thought that only Mo Yan can be so familiar with every corner of Qingyan Kingdom now. He joined hands with the former emperor. The country that came down unexpectedly decided to give up his hands? Can he really do anything to oppose himself?
The Yun bodyguard looked at his appearance and handed the jade pendant on the messenger's waist to Zhong Xuanyu. He also had a wound on his body. It could be seen that the messenger also had a unique skill. The Yun bodyguard had already seen from the move that the man must be a border man.
Zhong Xuanyu compared the jade pendant on Mo Ning's body with the jade pendant on the messenger's body. It was indeed a frontier thing. He looked up and his eyes were a little confused. He opened his mouth faintly, but found that his throat was so dry that he could not speak. What should he do? He can solve anything, but only about her. This time, he really doesn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, the safety of the people is really a big deal, but the matter of the prime minister is suspicious, but if you do it, maybe another thing will come to light. About this matter, the queen may not know it all day long in the palace."
"Reinstate the army's heart?" Zhong Xuan's eyes were cold. He looked at the curling white smoke rising from the incense burner. He closed his eyes and leaned back. "Cloud, don't jump to conclusions. You can find out again."
"Yes." After the Yun bodyguard disappeared, it was already the second watch. Zhong Xuanyu came to Fengluan Hall alone. It was not until he saw her that his confused mood calmed down. If he really caught Mo Yan, would she forgive herself?
"Ning'er, you have to believe me." Zhong Xuanyu muttered gently and sat in the yard. Suddenly, there was a whisper under his feet. Xuaner twisted her little head and rubbed his trouser legs, and meowed at him from time to time. He looked at the lovely cat and gently held it in his arms. His eyes were cold. Looking at the starry sky, I'm afraid he couldn't be like this. I didn't do anything.
As an emperor, there are too many things to bear and hide. Who can think that he is just an ordinary man, and the most extravagant thing is the life of an ordinary person.
In the early morning, the new spring flowers were particularly dazzling. Several birds were chattering and jumping happily. In the golden palace, there was a peace. From afar, two lines of ministers came out of the Xuanzheng Hall. Some were close and humble, some were arrogant, but only the people in the hall frowned.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister has arrived." The eunuch had been following Zhong Xuanyu. Seeing him like this, although he was panicked, he did not show it. Everyone knew that the emperor was like a tiger. Looking at his locked eyebrows, he said this sentence respectfully.
Zhong Xuanyu casually looked through the memorial in his hand, but he was a little panicked. Hearing the eunuch say so, the memorial in his hand finally fell on the table. After a long time, he raised his head. Xuan."
"Xuan, Minister Mo Yan enters the palace!" The eunuch stood at the door of the temple and shouted this sentence. Mo Yan raised his head and took a step. Today, he was dressed in black and had completely lost the previous illness. His face was still a trace of pale. His eyebrows were solemn and serious, which made people dare not despise him. He stepped into the hall and saw Zhong Xuanyu staring straight at himself. After that, he still stood straight and coughed in a low voice from time to time, but he didn't mean to speak.
"Is it possible that the prime minister is so sick these days that he has even forgotten the gifts of kings and ministers?" Zhong Xuanyu stared at him. His voice was majestic, and the golden dragon robe was worn on him, which added a little aura that he did not dare to disobey.
"In my heart, the emperor is the only emperor." He said confidently. Speaking of the former emperor, he respectfully blessed his hands, and then, as normal, he glanced at Zhong Xuanyu and snorted coldly, "I don't know why the emperor asked me to come here?"
Zhong Xuanyu originally wanted to give him a chance to defend, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, he was still so paranoid. He decided that Zhong Xuanyu could not do this emperor, but now he was looking down at him in this high position. He couldn't help sneering and throwing the jade pendant at hand on the ground. "I don't know if the prime minister knows this object?"
After seeing the two dark green objects, Mo Yan looked at them for a long time and took a few steps to pick up one of them, "Isn't this Ning's thing?"
"The prime minister, it's better not to talk nonsense. What I take is the token of the border chaos party. How does it have anything to do with my queen!"
"Well, I don't know." When he saw that Zhong Xuanyu's face became more and more gloomy, he understood a little in his heart that he was upright by nature, and it was necessary for the slang ministers in the palace to be framed. However, why didn't he make a plan and send Ning'er away? He was afraid that one day she would regret it by his side.
"The prime minister must recognize this secret letter." Zhong Xuanyu listened to him and his eyes were still cold. His hand clenched the corner of the secret letter and pulled out the letter there. It was not until this time that Mo Yan's face changed color.
For a long time, Mo Yan still didn't say a word. His eyes just stared at the secret letter that Yupei and Zhong Xuanyu were still on the ground. He didn't know what he was thinking. It was not written by himself. He thought about how the country he fought down could share it with others. It can be seen that he was still extremely stupid. While thinking about it, He didn't want to explain. He looked at Zhong Xuanyu. He wanted to take Mo Ning away before he regretted it. Mo Ning must not know that the other side of the emperor did everything for the sake of power.
