Ling Xueman blinked, with an urge to massage him, but when he thought of his betrayal, she got cold again and stood up and climbed onto the bed to lie down.
About ten minutes later, there was another person beside him, Mo Qihan!
Ling Xueman, who was lying on his back, immediately threw a back to him, and deliberately moved his body to the side. Mo Qihan glanced at him and said faintly: "During this period, there will be a lot of political affairs in Chaozhong, I am afraid I am not too Take care of you in a lot of free time. Don’t be angry with me. Use three meals a day on time. Tell Chuntang Qiuyue what you want to eat. If you are behaved, I will let you walk around in the palace freely in a few days. What happened yesterday to today, you should have never happened before. In the eyes of outsiders, I am just the emperor. You are the maid of my house under house arrest in the coat of arms. You shouldn’t tell anyone a word, don’t you understand?"
"I don't understand!" Ling Xueman replied.
Mo Qihan frowned, looked at her, and said, "I want to eliminate the chaotic party. If you say it, it will be impossible to guarantee that the chaotic party will not arrest you and threaten me. If I work hard for many years, I may fall short. If you want to kill you I, just go ahead and say it."
Ling Xueman closed her mouth in amazement.
"Also, if you think I'm dirty, I don't need to touch you, but don't expect me to coax you to eat again. If your meal is not good, I will punish you with this. Did you hear that?" Mo Qihan said sternly.
Ling Xueman's mouth slumped, and he snorted unwillingly. Who knows, his shoulder was immediately pulled by Mo Qihan, his eyes met, and he said blankly: "Don't you agree? That's it. Do you want me to touch you now?"
"Answer, promise." Ling Xueman nodded immediately without spine.
After letting her go, he went back to sleep, and before closing his eyes, he added, "As before, you must live here with me every night. If not, I will pick you up personally and hide in a wooden box. Don’t run away a second time!"
Ling Xue bit on the pillow towel angrily, kicked on the quilt fiercely, and couldn't help but choke: "What do you do with your concubine when you sleep here? People can wait for your luck!"
"You don't need to worry about that, sleep!" Mo Qihan answered and fell asleep.
Ling Xueman tossed for a long time, and finally fell asleep.
The two of them got along in this way, sleeping in the same bed, noisy and cold, and when Ling Xueman was released from the clothing bureau, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month.
After seeing the sun for a long time, Ling Xueman has the feeling of being in the middle of the mountain for seven days, and the world has been in the world for thousands of years. Therefore, standing in the courtyard of the clothing bureau, looking up, looking at the sun for a long time, until his eyes become sore, he lowered his head .
"Manman girl, mother-in-law accompany you out to relax!" Mother-in-law Meihua said behind her.
"Not in the mood, just in case you run into it again..." Ling Xueman shook his mouth and shook his head.
"It's okay, the emperor has already reprimanded Concubine Yi, I believe no one in the palace will dare to provoke you again." Granny Meihua smiled.
"Oh."
After a long time, he responded, and Ling Xueman stepped out of the coat of arms.
However, on this trip, Ling Xueman heard an extremely shocking news: the emperor ordered Liu Wutong to marry him on the sixth day of the sixth day, and betrothed her to the son of Anguo. Liu Wutong failed to commit suicide that night and was in the city on the seventh day of the day. A nunnery outside has been issued for nuns!
"How... is this? Wutong's selfish love at the beginning is now so decisive!" Ling Xueman murmured after being shocked for a long time.
Because of Liu Wutong, Ling Xueman rushed to the Imperial Palace on impulse.
However, when I really saw Mo Qihan, I didn't know what to say. She was speechless. After a long while, she spit out, "The emperor..."
"It's called Xitou, or Han." Mo Qihan hugged Ling Xueman tightly, his tone softened, and murmured: "Manman, I have always wanted to give you a clean world. I don't want you to see too much humanity. Ugly, murderous cruel, your smile is always so innocent, so clear, your heart is so kind, I don't want these ugly things to stain your eyes, so I hide everything from you, from beginning to end..."
Ling Xueman calmed down involuntarily, and waited for Mo Qihan to say the following. She wanted to know the reason for his suspended animation that year, who was the mastermind of many thrilling events that followed, and why, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't get any more. Hearing a word, he just hugged her and refused to let go of her.
She finally couldn't help asking another question, "Did you go to the border to fight for a year and a half? Is Mo Junlin really you?"
"Well, it's me. When I went out and came back, my father took you with me in a special way, just to let me look at you a few more times, but you didn't know it. I also confessed to my father and empress and let them take care of me after I left. Yours, therefore, the emperor changed his prejudice against you and pampered you more." Mo Qihan nodded and said softly.
Ling Xueman suddenly understood, was dazed for a while, then suddenly remembered and asked: "Then have you been injured in the war?"
"No, under normal circumstances no one can hurt me. In the days when I was in the border, I was most concerned about you. The only way I was to return to Beijing was to go through nine deaths, and I almost couldn't see you!" Mo Qihan There was a heat in his eyes, rubbing Ling Xueman's cheek, and his heart was infinitely bitter.
"Wh, what a life of nine deaths?" Ling Xueman asked in surprise.
"Don't ask, I don't want to tell you that all I want to leave you is joy, but now it brings you a lot of pain, long, watching you cry, watching you sad, I am more painful than you, and my heart is like a needle. It's the same." Mo Qi's words were choked, and he hugged the person in his arms tighter.
Ling Xueman raised her eyes, her eyes filled with water mist, "You, you know I'm sad, why, why do you want to fill the harem? Why do you want to touch other women? Actually, I figured it out now, you are the emperor. The emperor must have three houses and six houses. The harem woman is the relationship between the emperor and the courtiers. Maybe you love me, or you really want to be with me forever, but you have your responsibilities and your helplessness, so you hope Jiangshan Beauty has both, I can be your favorite woman, but I won't be your only woman, right?"
"No, no, long, I said, you will be my only woman, you will definitely be, the explanation you want, after I clear out the chaotic party, and when I and you form a bridal banquet, I will give you the original explanation. Listen, I beg you to give me some more time?" Mo Qihan's tone became eager again, and he reached out to wipe Ling Xueman's teardrops, there was nothing in his eyes except distress and helplessness.
Ling Xueman sneered with tears, "Oh, so what? Even if you have great reasons, what can you change? Betrayal is betrayal. I can understand your overall situation, but I cannot forgive your physical betrayal, so even if you I won’t agree to marry you after I risk the world’s disapproval of the sixth house and marry you. Therefore, we don’t have a bridal banquet. I just ask you to let me go, please!"
"Impossible! I can't let you go!" Mo Qihan's eyes darkened, and he looked at the heartbroken face in front of him for an instant, struggling and hesitating for a long time before he seemed to make up his mind. Asked: "Manman, can you guarantee that you won't leak secrets just because you are jealous?"
"What? Be jealous? Secret?" Ling Xueman was at a loss, and then she thought about it and shook her head, "I can't guarantee it, I'm always impulsive."
"Then I can't tell you!" Mo Qihan's face became serious, "If it shakes out, it will break the sky! So, long, I would rather you misunderstand than tell you a word!"
Hearing this, Ling Xueman became more confused as he listened, "You, what are you talking about? Misunderstanding? You said I misunderstood you? Then..." After a pause, Ling Xueman suddenly said: "I know! You are making up your reasons to lie to me again. Hmph! You can accommodate more than a dozen women, so why can't you tolerate a phoenix tree? Do you feel happy when you see someone becoming a nun?"
"That's not the same. I will take other women into the palace for their own use, and will have their own arrangements in the future. If Wutong enters the palace, can I treat her like other people? Then I am really sorry for you?" Mo Qi Han sighed.
"I don't understand! You are already sorry for me, what's the real thing!" Ling Xueman said, her eyes were red.
Mo Qihan looked at Ling Xueman silently and paused for a while, put her head on his chest, stroked her hair lightly, and said softly: "Manman, you are too straight to hide your emotions. , How do you teach me to tell you the truth? The reason why I can’t explain is that I am afraid that you will leak the secrets. There is also that I have to act in a lot of plays, and I have to wear different masks to different people, if you do anything. I don’t know, I can continue to play with the Yi Fei Li Fei and the others, do you understand these? So I am helpless, I only hope that I can finish the important things as soon as possible and stay with you for a long time."
"I...you, did you act with Concubine Yi and the others?" Ling Xueman was dazed and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, so don't doubt my affection for you, you must be prudent in the future, do you know that prudent?" Mo Qihan said earnestly.
"Then do you have a skin relationship with them?" Ling Xueman asked straightforwardly.
"No." Mo Qihan shook his head.
"Impossible, the honorable concubines of the concubine have a record, not to mention that you have not been lucky to them, who was lucky? Did you find someone to pretend to be you?"
"Well, I can't tell you, because you have a big mouth. Maybe you had a quarrel with Yi Fei Li Fei. When you were excited, you opened your mouth and went out. So, you have to keep your mouth tight and never tell me. If you are not lucky enough to them, do you know?"
"Huh, look down on me!"
"Let me look up to it, then you must be prudent, be good at hiding your emotions, and not take advantage of those who are interested."
"Okay, I'll show it to you!"
Ling Xueman raised her chin arrogantly, her heart was faintly excited, I really hope that what he said is true, he has never betrayed her, but this man is very deceiving, she can't easily believe it!
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.
Wuheng Hall.
This hall is located at the easternmost corner of the Lenggong Palace. It is a derelict palace that has been uninhabited over the years, surrounded by weeds, and dilapidated and cold. According to legend, the ancestor emperor gave three concubines who committed serious mistakes to death. Therefore, some eunuchs and maids saw that ghosts had appeared here, and it was an unclean place.
Therefore, no one in the Wuheng Temple area dared to approach. Even in broad daylight, except for those who have to pass through here, it was also a few people who came and went quickly together. At other times, it was silent.
Today, a few people appeared in Wuheng Hall, dressed as eunuchs, and were ordered to burn paper money and incense for the three concubines who were given to death.
Halfway through, one person entered the main hall, walked deep, stopped in the inner hall, saw a few people standing with their backs to him, knelt down and kowtowed, "Chen Bai Jingan, see the emperor!"
"Bai Aiqing is flat!" Mo Qihan turned around and said lightly.
Next to him should be Wuji, Wuhen, Wujie, and Xu An, while Shadow secretly handled all the spies who were monitoring Mo Qihan's whereabouts.
"Xie Emperor!" Bai Jingan got up.
Mo Qihan smiled slightly, "Have you prepared what I want?"
"Back to the emperor, this is the list of the ministers, please go to the emperor to check it out."
Bai Jingan pulled out a secret fold from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head. Xu An took it and opened it. There was nothing unusual before handing it to Mo Qihan.
The sharp eyes swept over the names on Mizhe, and they looked at them one by one, Mo Qihan chuckled, "It's a lot. There are six people with the third rank and above, ten Beijing officials, 13 local officials, and guards. There are three generals in the army, two lieutenants, and the guards of the Yulin Junzhong and Ouchi. After a close investigation, there are still four fish who have slipped through the net, and they are still the chief guards! Bai Aiqing, is this list reliable? If one is false..."
"The minister dare not! The emperor is wise and shrewd, how dare the minister use fraud to deceive the emperor? If one person is false, the minister apologizes with death!" Bai Jingan hurriedly knelt down and said.
"Hehe, Aiqing, please!" Mo Qihan bent over and reached out to support each other.
"The emperor, the minister is terrified! Xie Huangshang is willing to give the minister a chance to correct his mistakes!" Bai Jingan stood up flattered.
"Bai Aiqing, what I want, there is the most important one." Mo Qihan looked at Bai Jingan, still smiling.
Bai Jingan nodded, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened the third layer of the parcel, and then presented it, "The emperor, He Zhixin and the third princes have illicitly attempted to rebel. The only thing the minister can collect is this. The minister was a civil official and was in Beijing. Therefore, the minister could not know the secrets in many aspects. It was the three princes who contacted He Zhixin in a single line."
Mo Qihan looked at it for a moment, then handed it to Wuji to put it away, and then asked, "The eunuch back then made the mess, what role did He Zhixin play in it?"
"The emperor!" Bai Jingan was startled. This question caught him off guard. After staying for a few seconds, he immediately replied: "The minister does not know!"
"Really?" Mo Qi's cold ending sounded up, and said casually: "I thought Aiqing knew about it! What happened back then, I have checked the fact that the mausoleum king's rescue is false, and the treason is true, right? It is a pity that the Supreme Emperor Hongfu Qitian, his fate should not be extinct, but it is the mausoleum king who died, and your young master is determined to avenge his father, right? Take care to hide his edge, earnestly win the trust of the Supreme Emperor, and continue to hold his rights. Decentralization caused him to form a large number of party members, embezzle and accumulate wealth, and even the relief funds that the court sent to the south of the Yangtze River were greedy. And these, Aiqing also participated in it, right?"
"The emperor, the minister is convicted!" Bai Jingan's face was earthy, and his body was soft and he knelt down again. "The ministers were forced to act. They followed the master and made a heavy oath to the master to support the young master. So …So the minister is forced to do it! Ask the emperor for mercy, the minister does not ask for anything else, only asks for abandonment, and clears the Three Kings for the emperor, the Bai family can get a stable place, as long as it is alive!"
"Bai Aiqing, I will ask you again. He Zhixin's crimes committed by the eunuch in those years, do you have the corresponding evidence?" Mo Qihan nodded and asked again.
Bai Jingan's body kept trembling, "Going back to the emperor, the minister, the minister has, but if the minister takes it out, even the minister is included! The minister now works secretly for the emperor, if the minister exposes these things, he also shakes out the minister. , Can the emperor spare the minister? Even if the emperor does not kill the minister, the three princes and He Zhixin will not spare the minister. The minister will still die!"
"Oh? It turns out that Aiqing was so thoughtful, so it seems that I have to send someone to protect you!" Mo Qihan nodded thoughtfully, "That's all right, after Aiqing revealed the letter of congratulation for rebellion, How about sending my dark guards to the Bai family to protect your family?"
"This..." Bai Jingan hesitated.
"Concubine Yi Gui Aiqing, don't worry, she is in the palace, by my side, naturally no one dared to touch her, except for Ling Xueman who angered the third prince..." Mo Qihan's words paused and stopped. He said: "This is the reason why I have to do it as soon as possible! I am afraid that Concubine Yi Gui's life will not be guaranteed if he is late for a few days!"
"emperor!"
Bai Jingan was shocked, "Will the young master really kill Concubine Yi? Can his people sneak into the palace?"
"What? So far, Aiqing doesn't believe that your young master has this ability? Killing can be used invisible, Aiqing think about how the former prince died!" Mo Qihan suddenly sneered.
"Yes...Yes..." Bai Jingan slumped down and murmured: "Yes, the young master has always been fierce and unpredictable. Compared with the masters of the past, whoever wants to die, whoever wants to die I must not live, except, except for the emperor, it was an accident..."
Suddenly, Bai Jingan knocked his head vigorously, and his tone was full of trepidation, "The emperor, Concubine Yi is the pillar of the courtier's family, and I beg the emperor to protect her from her life, even if the courtier goes to the court lady, as long as the third prince can calm down. Chen, Chen is willing to hand over the evidence, so that the emperor will be relieved!"
"I don't need to ask Ling Xueman. The third prince may not listen to her. I will pay attention. This malignant tumor has to be rooted out. Otherwise, it will only be guaranteed for a while, and it will not be permanent." Mo Qihan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were hidden. Coldly.
"Yes, yes, the minister is willing to expose, willing to confess everything." Bai Jingan kowtowed his head like a garlic, "Before the chaos, the minister and He Zhixin had a blood alliance with the Lord. This agreement is now hidden in the secret room of the minister's house. Here, when the minister returns, he will take it and give it to the emperor!"
"Aiqing, what I want at the same time is the transcript of all the illegal things done by the three princes in collusion with the letter of congratulation in the past few years. You have written it and handed it to me. As for Aiqing, I am worried that the letter of congratulation will bite you back, or To confess you, I have my own opinion to calm down, Aiqing does not have to worry about the future." Mo Qihan finished speaking, glanced at Wuji and others, and said solemnly: "Fathers are precious to daughters, and I will reward Aiqing, by The third-grade imperial guard personally gave a reward to the Bai family, does Aiqing know what to do?"
"Yes, yes, the minister understands that the minister will be handed over to the Wu Ji guard." Bai Jingan said immediately.
Go to the study.
"Xu An, send these copies of the memorials to the Ministry of Households and the staff immediately, and confess the books to the ministries, and do things according to their orders." Mo Qihan picked out the four memorials and handed them to Xu An.
"Yes, the minion will go now!"
Xu An picked up the zhezi, and when he stepped out of the study, Wuhen happened to come in, nodded and signaled, and went to work separately.
"Wuhen, what's the matter?" Mo Qihan asked casually, busy without raising his head.
Wuhen took a step closer and whispered quietly: "The emperor, Pingzhou has news!"
"Really? When did you arrive?" Mo Qihan put down the brush, looked sideways, and asked as he took the small bamboo tube from Wuhen, took off the lid, and pulled out a rolled note from inside.
"Back to the emperor, just arrived."
"Ok."
"The Pingzhou army is united. There are two-thirds of the letter of loyalty and congratulation, and one-third of the loyalty to Daming. The minister and the uncle of the king of Yun have divided the Pingzhou army and stood up for their own soldiers and generals. The effect has begun to bear fruit. Hope the emperor immediately dispatches imperial ministers, rewards and rewards the meritorious generals, demonstrates the emperor’s majesty, and wins over the military! Go, Mo Qilin!"
After the silent recitation, Mo Qihan's expression remained as usual, but his eyes were filled with joy, and he quickly wrote: I already know that the imperial decree will be issued within two days and sent to Pingzhou. Wang brother and Uncle Yun will continue their efforts and achieve a great victory soon!
"Wuhen, send it out immediately." Mo Qihan stuffed the roll of paper into the bamboo tube and handed it to Wuhen.
"Yes, the emperor!"
"In addition, I sent people to stare at the Pingguo Government House, and the He family just moved to Beijing. It was when the Minister of the Central Committee of the DPRK delivered a greeting to Xianmei every day, and wrote down the names of all the ministers who went there, so that I could verify whether there is a list submitted by Bai Jingan Fake!" Mo Qihan said thoughtfully.
"Yes, the minion understands!"
"Go to work!"
"Yes, the minion retire!"
When it was almost lunch, Mo Qihan got up and drove back to the palace.
During the meal, Chuntang cleaned out from the study and whispered in her ears: "The emperor, the empress seems to be uncomfortable. Now she is lying on the bed in the secret room. The old man was worried that he would eat something bad, so he took his wife to the secret room to wait for the emperor."
Hearing this, Mo Qihan's expression changed slightly, and he took two bites calmly, and then put down his chopsticks, "I don't need it, let's take it away!" After speaking, he got up and went to the study.
"Yes, the emperor!"
The waiting eunuchs knelt down, "Send the emperor respectfully!"
As soon as she entered the secret room, Granny Meihua greeted her and said anxiously, "Han boy, is the Manman girl ill? My teacher checked with a silver needle, the food is not poisonous, and the prince brought it personally!"
