Wei Zichao still didn't understand what had offended his master, so he replied with sadness: "Yes, it's the servants of the royal family who came to report that the prince has returned to Beijing and wants to see you, and..."
Wei Zichao rarely hesitated and glanced at Shi Qingxue cautiously before continuing: "There is also Shi Liu Niang."
"Me?" Shi Qingxue pointed her finger at the tip of her nose and tilted her head in confusion.
Just now, she was puzzled that Prince Rui Mo Xiangrui, who had always been away from home and not paying attention to court affairs, had returned to Beijing, but she still expressed her understanding.
After all, the New Year is coming soon.
But what does Mo Xiangrui mean by wanting to see her
Mo Junyang frowned and seemed to be stumped by this problem.
But he did not ask further. Instead, he waved his hand to Wei Zichao and motioned for everyone else to go down together.
When only the two of them were left in the yard, Mo Junyang turned to Qingxue and smiled, saying: "Although my father is far away from Kyoto, he has not completely abandoned the affairs of Kyoto."
Shi Qingxue paused and realized that Mo Junyang was explaining to herself why Mo Xiangrui knew about her, so she nodded to express her understanding, "So you want me to..."
She asked hesitantly, her face showing confusion.
Before she could finish her sentence, Mo Junyang said, "It's okay. It's okay if you don't want to go. I'll just go back and explain it to my father, and he will understand."
When it comes to ethics, Prince Rui's request to meet Shi Qingxue is indeed inappropriate.
After all, Shi Qingxue did not marry into Prince Rui's Mansion, and their marriage was not even made public. Shi Qingxue's visit at this time was unjust and unjust.
It’s inevitable that someone will talk about it!
Shi Qingxue hesitated, but it was not for the reason Mo Junyang thought.
And when the other party spoke lonely, she suddenly stopped hesitating and said quickly: "I'm not unwilling! I just..."
"What?"
Even though Mo Junyang knew Shi Qingxue very well, it was impossible to cover everything. He really couldn't guess what Shi Qingxue was worried about besides not wanting to go to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Qingxue hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason. In the end, she felt that her little idea was not appropriate, so she simply covered her mouth and stopped talking.
Turning to look at Xiang Mo Junyang, he said seriously and solemnly: "I will go with you to see King Rui, and we will go now."
Mo Junyang did not respond at first, but looked at Shi Qingxue steadily to make sure that she was really not forcing herself. Then her face gradually showed her satisfaction, "Okay."
Shi Qingxue thought for a while and then said, "I'll go and talk to dad first."
When meeting the other party's parents for such a "large-scale" matter, you still have to tell Shi Junhe about it first.
Mo Junyang also agreed and proactively said, "I'll go with you."
On the way to Dongyuan, Shi Qingxue secretly glanced at Mo Junyang several times, but still couldn't help asking: "Are you happy? About me going home with you."
Mo Junyang looked at Shi Qingxue deeply, and finally explained softly: "My father in the previous life knew about my life experience, but he didn't mind. He treated me as his own child. He can be regarded as the only person who treats me well." , later I was able to go from Ruicheng... to Kyoto, and he helped me a lot, although his purpose was to avenge my mother and concubine... "
His voice was low and vague, and he vaguely mentioned many key words.
Shi Qingxue struggled to hear clearly, and after a while, she finally understood what Mo Junyang said.
Shi Qingxue actually knew about the so-called 'life experience'.
In the previous life, when Mo Junyang was 21 years old, it was rumored that he was the son of Princess Rui Qiyue, who was kept as hostage in the palace, and Emperor Mo Wen, Mo Xiangbin.
This news did not bring glory and convenience to Mo Junyang, who was a hostage at the time. Instead, it made him increasingly the target of bullying and defense by the princes.
At that time, Mo Xiangbin finally noticed the bullied 'Proton', but Emperor Mo Wen's first move was to confer Mo Junyang as 'Prince Rui's Crown Prince' and send him to Prince Rui's fiefdom. Ruicheng].
This act of 'gifting a hat' is tantamount to provocation and sends Mo Junyang into the tiger's mouth.
According to a normal person's thinking, if the child born from an affair between his wife and his half-brother is not killed quietly, it would be considered the most righteous thing to do. It is impossible to treat this 'stain' kindly, let alone his half-brother's attempt to let this child inherit him. of title.
simply…
When Shi Qingxue heard about Mo Xiangbin's actions in her previous life, she felt that this behavior was excessive. However, at that time, she was also in the critical period of helping Mo Junhao win the heir, and she had no extra energy to pay attention to these 'insignificant' matters. matter.
Looking back now, she felt very sad and couldn't help but hold Mo Junyang's hand, "Sorry, I..."
Mo Junyang stretched out his hand to stop her next words and smiled slightly, "You don't have to apologize. You haven't done anything to me."
Everything in his past life, even his love for Shi Qingxue, and even the tragic ending, were all his wishful thinking.
Maybe he was indeed treated badly in his previous life, but Shi Qingxue did not treat him wrong, and he also took revenge on those who had treated him badly.
But if there was anything he regretted in his previous life, it was only Mo Xiangrui.
Even though Mo Xiangrui knew that he was the product of an affair between Mo Xiangbin and Qi Yue, he still loved him as his own son. On the contrary, he was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people too early, and was indifferent to Mo Xiangrui's closeness, which made Mo Xiangrui indifferent. The auspicious gloom is difficult to relieve.
So even though a lot has changed in this life, even Mo Xiangbin treated him much better after knowing the truth. The only 'father' Mo Junyang recognized in his heart was Mo Xiangrui.
Shi Qingxue pulled Mo Junyang's hand and held her hand, looked up at him, and said seriously: "I will accompany you."
He didn't say clearly what it was about, but a word of companionship was already extremely precious to Mo Junyang.
After the two followed Shi Jun and Baobao, they got on the carriage and returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Just when the carriage was about to arrive at Prince Rui's Mansion, the horses suddenly let out a 'whisper', and then the carriage jolted and was suddenly stopped.
Shi Qingxue didn't sit firmly and threw herself into Mo Junyang's arms. Her chin hit Mo Junyang's shoulder heavily, which made her burst into tears. "What, what's wrong?"
Mo Junyang simply hugged her into his arms, gently rubbed her chin, and called out to the outside.
Wei Zichao reported through the thick car curtain: "Master, there is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old who stopped the car and said he wanted to see you."
"See me?" Mo Junyang's cold voice contained a hint of surprise.
He couldn't remember when he met such a number one person.
However, he frowned, opened the car curtain, and saw the young man.
The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing tattered clothes. He was dirty and thin. In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, he looked even thinner and pitiful. He was no different from a beggar on the roadside.
Seeing the young man kneeling in front of the carriage without saying a word, Mo Junyang asked coldly: "Who are you?"
The young man first raised his head and glanced at Mo Junyang cautiously. When he met Mo Junyang's gaze, he quickly lowered his head and then responded submissively. "My name is Qi Zhengdao."
Mo Junyang still frowned at the young man and said nothing.
He didn't remember hearing this name before.
The young man knelt on the ground obediently for a while without hearing Mo Junyang's words, and then he boldly raised his head to look at Mo Junyang.
Then he said tentatively: "I, I have something to give you to see."
"Bring it up and take a look!" Mo Junyang nodded to Wei Zichao, who immediately walked up to Qi Zhengdao, collected what the other party handed over, and returned it to Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang didn't care at all at first, but when his eyes touched the jade pendant handed over by Qi Zhengdao, his expression changed.
His eyes suddenly became sharp, and for the first time he looked at the thin boy carefully from head to toe, and then asked: "Who do you think you are?"
"My name is Qi Zhengdao." The young man repeated his name again.
"I didn't ask for your name." Mo Junyang stared at the boy again.
The young man fell silent now. He didn't know whether he didn't understand what Mo Junyang meant or didn't want to say anything.
Mo Junyang didn't have the patience to deal with him, so he said directly: "If you don't want to say anything, then just take this jade pendant and leave!"
This was probably the first time Qi Zhengdao had seen such an impatient person. He couldn't help but became anxious and quickly replied: "My father's name is Mo Xiangrui."
Maybe he was anxious, so he raised his voice and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gasping sound from all around.
Qi Zhengdao seemed to have just realized that he had done something wrong, and he quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Mo Junyang looked calm and looked at Qi Zhengdao and asked calmly: "Since you have given me the jade pendant, do you have any requirements?"
Of course he didn't believe that Qi Zhengdao just had a whim and wanted to return something like a token to Prince Rui's Mansion.
If this is the case, then Qi Zhengdao should have found someone to deliver it without anyone noticing, instead of stopping a car in the street and telling everyone that he was the illegitimate son of King Rui.
Even if Qi Zhengdao didn't mean to force him, it was definitely not simple.
Sure enough, as soon as Mo Junyang finished speaking, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Qi Zhengdao's face, causing his pale cheeks to turn red.
He bit his lip, as if embarrassed.
He didn't know whether he couldn't stand the cold wind or was aroused by Mo Junyang's words. In the end, his eyes turned white and he fainted next to the horse.
Wei Zichao quickly stretched out his hand to explore, and when he saw that he was still breathing, he asked Mo Junyang: "Master, the person has fainted, what should I do?"
His words were full of indifference.
But this is not surprising.
Wei Zichao belonged to Mo Junyang, and now a man suddenly appeared claiming to be the illegitimate son of King Rui.
Even if Mo Junyang didn't express anything, Wei Zichao couldn't have any good feelings towards the existence that might threaten his master.
"Let's take him back to the house first!" Mo Junyang still had no expression on his face. He calmly made arrangements, lowered the curtain, and motioned for the carriage to continue walking.
Back on the carriage, there were only two people in the carriage, Mo Junyang and Shi Qingxue.
Mo Junyang's usually expressionless face showed a little solemnity. He raised his head and met Shi Qingxue's eyes.
Both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.
