Quickly wear the cannon fodder, he made this short-lived script

Mo Ci, who was only five years old, followed the chief priest Wei Zhuoyuan every day to receive knowledge. Even when eating, he followed the chief priest.

Only after finishing all the evening classes would Zuo Xian come to pick him up.

Unlike the peaceful life here, in the Prince Qi's Mansion on the other side, the servant who had stuffed the purse into Mo Ci's pocket came to the Prince Qi and responded respectfully.

"Your Highness, I have done what you ordered. The young master has accepted the purse."

"Well, go down and claim your reward."

The King of Qi nodded slightly, as if this was just an ordinary matter, and the servant left respectfully to receive the reward.

The Prince of Qi was the only one left in the room. In front of him was a half-painted portrait. Even though it was only half, one could still recognize that this was not anyone in the Prince of Qi's mansion, but rather a girl who was waiting to be married.

The King of Qi looked at the person in the portrait affectionately and said in a calm tone, "Living weakly is more painful than death, what a pity..."

No one knows what he meant by this or to whom he said it.

As for the Princess of Qi, after returning to her palace, she never came out again, nor did she go to see the King of Qi.

Such a good princess, but in the Prince of Qi's palace, she and the Prince of Qi were like a stranger, living on both sides of the palace, a long distance away from each other.

Outsiders were unaware of the estrangement between the King of Qi and his wife. After all, when they were out together, they always kept their composure and would not be so hostile to each other.

However, ever since the King of Qi took action against Zhao Huaiqing, the Queen of Qi has become increasingly indifferent to the King of Qi. She once thought that she had married a good husband, but only today did she realize that he was clearly a cruel and vicious husband.

If it weren't for paving the way for her son, the Princess of Qi would have wanted to break up with the King of Qi immediately.

The Qi prince and his wife were not in harmony with each other, and Mo Ci was suddenly sent to the Imperial College. All these things seemed to be unrelated, but some people had already begun to investigate secretly.

After all, the fact that His Majesty personally made the decision to allow a child who was only five years old to study at the Imperial College seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

The undercurrents in Luojing City were concealed by the apparent harmony, and Mo Ci, the central figure in the whole incident, was breaking away from the teachings of the enlightenment book under the watchful eye of the chief priest Wei Zhuoyuan, who was eager to learn talents.

In Wei Zhuoyuan's opinion, Mo Ci is a talented person who can memorize the enlightenment content and understand its meaning in just a few days.

Wei Zhuoyuan, who originally took extra care of Mo Ci only because of the order of His Majesty, is now even more devoted because of Mo Ci's ability.

Wei Zhuoyuan made great achievements in literature and was also a great scholar in this field. He was able to serve as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, so he must have his own strengths.

It was only because of his overly pure love for learning that he was unwilling to get involved in officialdom.

Mo Ci's arrival was, after all, related to the officialdom. Before, Wei Zhuoyuan was forced by the order of His Majesty to not take care of it, and he had to keep the person by his side to teach him. At that time, he was actually reluctant.

However, now, Wei Zhuoyuan suddenly wanted to take charge. Mo Ci was a rare talent that he had encountered in all these years, and he did not want Mo Ci to become a sacrificed pawn.

At this time, Mo Ci didn't know that because of his photographic memory and intelligence, he had gained an extra backer.

He had just been taken back to the yard by Zuo Xian. As soon as Mo Ci returned to the room, he walked towards the corner. A few days ago, he caught a few stealing mice, caged them in the corner, and put the spices in the purse on top of the cage.

In just a few days, the mice did not change much. Mo Ci took out a piece of cake from his sleeve and put it in the cage, observing the mice's behavior.

Before, as long as he put the food in, the mice would scramble to eat it. But now, their movements seemed to have slowed down, and they looked like they had lost their appetite.

Mo Ci looked at these mice, and the look in his eyes became colder and colder. He could probably guess what this thing was used for.

This is neither poisonous nor not. If you keep it close to your body for a long time, it will make people weak and sick. Although it will not be life-threatening, it can make people bedridden in serious cases.

It would be better to lose one's life.

As he expected, there was something wrong with the servant who gave him the purse. Fortunately, he was cautious.

Thinking of this, Mo Ci left the corner, took out a notebook from his space, and began to write something on it.

During this period, he followed Wei Zhuoyuan and could hear some of Wei Zhuoyuan's off-topic remarks besides studying. What Mo Ci is recording now is the information he extracted from Wei Zhuoyuan's words.

First of all, there was the emperor who saved his life. This world is not divided by various forces and sects, but by countries.

This is the so-called Qizhao Kingdom, and the emperor is the person with the most say in the entire country. Everyone here has to listen to him.

The saying "All under heaven is the king's land; all within the four seas are the king's subjects" means that on the land of Qizhao Kingdom, the emperor is the "king".

The Imperial College where Mo Ci is now is where the children of court officials study. However, the students admitted by the Imperial College are all over thirteen years old.

Wei Zhuoyuan never said why Mo Ci entered the Imperial College, but when Mo Ci asked, he looked at him with a complicated look.

This also made Mo Ci realize that he was not really saved by the so-called emperor. On the contrary, there must be other reasons why the emperor allowed him to enter the Imperial College.

Mo Ci didn't know the specific reason, but he was not in a hurry. His cultivation had already begun to show results, and at least Mo Ci was not too worried at the moment.

There are no monks here, which means that he, the only monk here, has absolute self-protection ability.

In addition, Mo Ci also learned that Zuo Xian was the son of the prime minister and was about to take part in the imperial examination. If he was on the list, he would become another official.

As for matters concerning Prince Qi's Mansion, Mo Ci had not received any information at all, but he also knew how many privileges he had as the prince's child.

Mo Ci also gained new insights into daily etiquette and the cost of food, clothing, and daily expenses. He now knew roughly how to calculate the silver and money, and understood that five hundred taels was a lot, but for a royal family member, it was not too much.

But Mo Ci didn't think it was too little. His food, clothing and other expenses in the Imperial College were all taken care of by the Princess of Qi. As for other things, he had no interest in them.

The most important thing is that Mo Ci doesn't want to leave the Imperial College yet. Although he has the ability to protect himself, he doesn't want to be exposed so early.

Considering the King of Qi's personality of being unable to kill his own son and yet still giving people medicine to make them sick, Mo Ci couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't suddenly go crazy and send someone to kill him again.

If he escapes by then and no one sees it, it will be fine. But if someone sees him, the fact that he can kill someone at such a young age will probably scare others.

By then, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Therefore, for his own good, Mo Ci chose to stay in the Imperial College. Even when other students were on vacation, Mo Ci never stepped out of the Imperial College.

However, the Princess of Qi would visit Mo Ci every ten days, and the relationship between mother and son gradually became closer.

However, Mo Ci still did not get any news from Prince Qi's Mansion. After all, at his age, if he really wanted to ask Princess Qi for information, not to mention whether Princess Qi would suspect anything, he would have to reveal his unusual side.

Therefore, Mo Ci could only listen to Princess Qi's occasional complaints and barely piece together a story.

The Princess of Qi was named Zhuang Xinhan. She was the daughter of the Minister of Rites. Her marriage to Prince of Qi, Zhao Yan, was arranged by the current emperor. It was a blind marriage.

However, after the marriage, the Princess of Qi always felt that the King of Qi treated her quite well, and she was very considerate and treated the King of Qi with respect.

But now, the Princess of Qi no longer loves the Prince of Qi, and she hates him very much.

As for why he hated her, Mo Ci... or rather, Zhao Huaiqing played a big part in it.

Mo Ci even felt that if he had not hidden in time, he would have been a corpse by now.

No, he became Shui Qingmiao because Shui Qingmiao died at that point in time. So now that he has become Zhao Huaiqing, does it also mean that Zhao Huaiqing also died at that point in time and did not wait for the person sent by the emperor to come?

So, what will be the fate of the Princess of Qi after she loses her son?

When Mo Ci thought of this, his eyes became colder and colder. If he was not still young, he would have wanted to climb over the wall and kill Zhao Yan, his scumbag father, with a sword.

When the students were on vacation, Princess Qi came again and asked Mo Ci if he wanted to go back to his grandfather's house. His grandfather was Princess Qi's father, the Minister of Rites.

However, Mo Ci firmly rejected this proposal. He didn't want to be ambushed on the way to his grandfather's house, and he didn't want anyone to be bribed and poison him.

In short, just in case, Mo Ci felt that the Imperial College, which was under the full management of the emperor, was safer.

Anyway, the chief academician Wei Zhuoyuan is also staying in the Imperial College. Given his personality, he will definitely not let Mo Ci get bored during this period of time.

Even if we take a step back, Mo Ci is a cultivator, and what cultivators fear least is loneliness.

So, when other students left the Imperial College to go home and rest, Mo Ci continued to stay with Wei Zhuoyuan, occasionally taking an exam and bringing back some homework.

With such a fulfilling life, Mo Ci felt that he could study for another hundred years. However, after the vacation was over, Zuo Xian learned about Mo Ci's experience and looked at Mo Ci as if he were a poor little thing.

This made Mo Ci confused, and Zuo Xian also showed him great concern.

Although he didn't know what Zuo Xian was thinking specifically, Mo Ci felt that this was a good feeling, so he naturally enjoyed Zuo Xian's concern.

During this period, the mice that Mo Ci caught had reached the point where they would not eat unless he fed them himself. After confirming the effectiveness of the purse, Mo Ci threw away the mice and put the spices into his own space.

Of course, he didn't keep this thing to use it himself, but Mo Ci thought this spice was good and planned to study it carefully when he had the ability in the future. Maybe it could become a help to him?

Besides, he had an idea in his mind. Since Zhao Yan wanted to use this to keep him bedridden, then it wouldn't be wrong for him to reciprocate, right?

Although this world adheres to filial piety, a father should be kind to his son and a son should be filial to his father. Only when a father is kind can a son be filial.

If the father is not kind, why should he expect his son to be filial?

Of course, Mo Ci was just thinking about this in his mind. According to the ethics of this world, if he really said it out loud, he would be criticized by those people.

Mo Ci is very clear that trouble comes from the mouth. All he can do now is to work hard to grow and increase his bargaining chips.

Even as a chess piece, he must be the most important one, so that he will not be abandoned so easily.

When he grows up, he will naturally be able to break away from the fate of being a chess piece and become the one who plays chess!

While Mo Ci was trying hard to acquire knowledge, the emperor who had sent people to bring him to the Imperial College also thought of him in his busy schedule.

That day, after the emperor finished his business, he was ready to stroll in the imperial garden. Not long after he walked out, he thought of Mo Ci and his weird way of greeting, and immediately asked Fude beside him.

"Fude, I remember that the Prince of Qi was sent to the Imperial College. How has the child been doing during this period?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that although the Prince of Qi is young, he has a photographic memory. This has attracted the attention of Lord Wei, who is eager to accept him as his disciple."

"Oh? A photographic memory? Does Wei Zhuoyuan really think so highly of the Prince of Qi?"

"This... I dare not speak rashly. I also heard that after Master Wei taught the Prince of Qi, he smiled a lot more."

As soon as these words fell, the emperor's expression became obscure and difficult to understand. His eyes fell aimlessly on the imperial garden, and he was thinking silently.

As the personal eunuch, Fude buried his head as usual and stood quietly aside, waiting for the emperor's next instruction.

After a long while, the emperor finally spoke, "The prince of Qi is intelligent and clever. I will send some rewards to the Imperial College so that he can study hard."

"Yes."

Fude responded and continued to walk with the emperor in the imperial garden. Suddenly, the emperor uttered a word.

"King Qi, you are becoming more and more unreasonable."

Fude pretended not to hear this and forgot it as soon as he heard it. As for why the emperor suddenly said this, we have to talk about the Prince of Qi.

It was also because the Prince of Qi wanted to kill Mo Ci too much. The Princess of Qi was the first to discover it. She stayed in the Prince of Qi's mansion and was unable to stop the Prince of Qi's actions, so she could only write a letter to her father for help.

When the Minister of Rites Zhuang Hao received the letter from his daughter, he couldn't wait to open it and read it. As a result, he saw the news that his son-in-law was going to kill his grandson.

Zhuang Hao loved both his daughter and grandson very much. He ignored everything else and went into the palace to tell the emperor everything.

At first, the emperor didn't believe it. After all, Zhao Huaiqing was a descendant of the royal family, his own son. It sounded absurd that he wanted to kill his own grandson.

But seeing that Zhuang Hao was so anxious, the emperor had no choice but to let him go back first and he would handle it.

So, the emperor sent his forces to investigate the Prince Qi's Mansion first. After confirming that everything was correct, he asked Fude to go to the Prince Qi's Mansion to bring Mo Ci back.

For the emperor, it was not pleasant for his son to be obsessed with the throne under his butt, and it was even more unpleasant for him to be obsessed with his son who killed the emperor's grandson.

In particular, Zhao Yan killed the man and made it known to outsiders. This was a scandal for the royal family.

If outsiders didn't know that Mo Ci was already dead, then even if Zhao Yan made up an excuse, he would be able to turn a blind eye and let it go.

Unfortunately, this son was vicious and stupid, which made the emperor very disappointed.

However, it also made the emperor take Mo Ci seriously again. He wanted to use Mo Ci as a chess piece in his hand and use him when necessary, as a way to repay the emperor for saving his life.
