long old

Desires, all come to seek asylum, or to be promoted.

After the death of the queen mother, the palace will not have such a lively scene.

Before, the two national teachers caught Mo Xuan with a glance, and there were so many people fawning on him.

And when they failed to succeed to the throne and completely lost power, none of these parasites who depended on them for their livelihoods stood up to speak for them.

Although this is normal in life, it is also inevitable.

Mo Xuan shook Mo Qiuliang's hand, feeling a layer of cold sweat.

The author has something to say: Today, His Royal Highness is very happy to play

☆、Zhemei (Wu)

"The servant bows to the Seventh Prince, the Eldest Princess." Lou Xun kowtowed to salute, although he seldom bowed to people in such a formal way, but due to the scenes of civil and military officials, he must not be too presumptuous, lest people criticize the usual etiquette of the Seventh Prince's House

.Even the prince and princess don't care much about these useless red tape.

"Get up, why are you in such a hurry?" Mo Xuan frowned, with his hands behind his back, he wanted to help him up, but he gave up.

Although Lou Xun's personality is not very prudent in ordinary times, he is so flustered in ordinary things, and his clothes are messy, it is caused by running fast, it must be something urgent.

"My lord, it's not good! The servant went to the kitchen just now, and the royal cook specially appointed by the emperor for the Flower Fair accidentally caught a cold and was bedridden to recuperate from illness. The preparation of dishes in the kitchen was forced to stop. , I’m afraid we won’t be able to start the banquet on time.”

Lou Xun deliberately lowered his voice, and whispered his difficulties in the ear of the Seventh Prince. After passing the news, he would also be forced to go to the kitchen to help, but the number of servants in the Seventh Prince's Mansion is scarce. Went to receive the minister.

What's more, the emperor is here today, and the whole family is going to the meeting. No one dares not to attend the meeting!Today is to inform the world that if the Seventh Prince's return is not done properly, it may become the laughing stock of the world.The prince's reputation may be even more slandered.

"Brother Huang, this..." If Lou Xun understood the truth, Mo Qiuliang and Mo Xuan would naturally understand it too.

Mo Qiuliang frowned in embarrassment, she believed that Brother Huang also knew the only way, the only way without asking anyone for help, but she was afraid that she would become the laughing stock of the world.How can a generation of princes and princesses lower their identities and serve as servants for court ministers?

"Liang'er, let's go. Lou Xun, you go and help for now, and try to finish it in time." Mo Xuan smiled relaxedly, with irresistible majesty, the next thing the technician will do is to damage his identity, so what?Treating people with courtesy will definitely reciprocate with courtesy, so why not do it?

"I see. I hope those civil servants who like to gossip will regard this as a courtesy from my palace." Mo Qiuliang nodded, gave up wanting to get a simple dress, and pretended to be dying. struggle.

"Welcome to the Palace of the Seventh Prince, everyone, to show respect," Mo Xuan opened the gate of the Palace, and said with a smile to Yan Yan, and took off the blindfold strips specially. Fei Xiao, I don't know how many cheeks of pedantic scholars have been stained red.

Standing by the side of the pavilion, Rong Mo looked at him with a complicated expression, he was obviously smiling, how could people not feel his truth, the tip of his hair was facing a branch of black plum, he didn't know that the plum blossom reflected his face, Or people are more charming than flowers.There is no big boundary between beauty and Meiben, it just depends on whether the customer has a heart.

Mo Qiuliang answered, "For the next day, I and the emperor will lead you to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Seven Princes' Mansion. I hope you will tolerate our poor hospitality."

The slightly rising ending carries the unique vivacity and playfulness of girls, and the peach-blossom eyes, which are in line with the royal family, are not gaudy, but beautiful.

"So, please come in. Welcome to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, you don't have to be too formal. If you want the emperor to introduce you personally, please don't be too polite."

Lou Xun left work and came back very worried, and under Mo Qiuliang's instruction, he said the above amazing words.After finishing speaking, he looked at the emperor Longyan together with the astonished officials, but the emperor agreed with a gentle face.

I heard the discussion of the two ministers behind me: "The servants of the Seventh Prince's House are really daring."

The older one shook his head seriously, and said slowly, "After all, you're still young."

"Look at the seniors for guidance."

"How dare the servants of the Seventh Prince's House act recklessly, it's clear that the Seventh Prince is proud of being favored. He really is seductive."

"'Hu Mei Huo Zhu'?" Well, after all, it's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me that, and I still miss it a bit.Since there have been many rumors and rumors in the past eight years, I don't mind carrying another one.

Mo Xuan smiled lightly, rested in the pavilion with Mo Qiuliang, poured tea for the few old officials who were chatting with the emperor, and Lou Xun arranged for plum appreciation, and he didn't have to intervene, even if there was one in the pavilion staring at him all the time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with a complex expression, is nothing to be afraid of.

"Brother Huang, I'm sorry. You have been charged for nothing." Mo Qiuliang whispered in a low voice, took the teapot from Mo Xuan apologetically, and poured tea for them.

"It doesn't matter, people's words are scary, but how can they be more hateful than people's hearts." After all, a person with a gentle face may be a person with a heart like a snake and a scorpion. Rumors can drive people crazy, but harmful hearts can kill people.The gossip is better than the sinister heart, so it is always bearable.

Suddenly something warm covered the back of his hand, Mo Xuan frowned, pulled his hand out, and turned to face the visitor, "May I ask Your Excellency, what is the meaning of this?"

Mu Yao smiled, his face was originally handsome, but when he smiled, he turned ferocious, "It's nothing, I just marveled at the beauty of the prince, and I couldn't help it for a while. Besides, the prince is so famous, he must not care about the truth. move."

"Since you know that he is a prince and you are a courtier, how dare you offend him? Brother Seventh Emperor is clearly blind. You despise the majesty of the royal family, so you dare to offend me."

Mo Qiuliang asked sharply, dropped the teacup heavily, looked around, but no one responded, suddenly felt a little sad, how many people who came here today didn't think so?No power, no power, how can people care?

"Gu Ye is curious, isn't Prime Minister Mu reckless? There are many beautiful people in this world. Compared with the emperor's uncle, although there is no one who is far superior, there are people who are small and victorious. Why don't you see Mu? Looks like this 'can't help it'? I'm afraid it's not bullying Uncle Huang who is weak and well-trained. Am I right, father?"

Rong Mo frowned, and asked Rong Shu for confirmation with a smile, in exchange for a forced smile from the other party, he turned to look at Mu Yao again.

"His Royal Highness, you are too serious." Mo Xuan suddenly said, and bowed to Rong Mo to express his gratitude temporarily.

Mo Xuan turned to Muyao again, and suddenly showed a smile, and lightly parted his red lips: "This king knows that during the eight years that this king has retreated and prayed for blessings, there have been rumors everywhere. In fact, there have been rumors among the people that 'this king is the world's fox fairy. Zhiguo, come here specially, it is a fox to seduce the Lord, and it is also a disaster for the country and the people." In fact, this king is not missing, or the emperor declared to the outside world, eating fast and chanting Buddha, praying for the blessing of the country. Instead, he turned into a concubine, Serving the emperor' Although there are many rumors and rumors, they always stay here. Your Excellency also thinks what the king said is right?"

"Although it is not, but what has it to do with the truth?"

"It is related, and it is closely related. The reason why the king retreated back then was to pray for blessings, but all the old officials knew that the king was falsely accused of having an affair with others and was placed under house arrest. Other than that, no one knew the real truth. The reason. But everyone knows it among the people, don’t you dare to swear: This is not from the palace.”

"This...of course it came from the palace."

"The person who can enter and exit the palace and chat outside the palace, there is no one other than the ministers of the palace. Can you admit it?"

"Acknowledge the truth."

"That's good. Gaozu once established the ancestral precept: court ministers are not allowed to criticize the royal family outside the palace. If they make mistakes, they must be demoted to common people. Is there something wrong?"

"That's right, Seventh Prince, please continue talking, and don't need to ask the lower officials for their opinions."

"You call yourself a 'lower official' and you also call me the 'Seven Princes', so your Excellency already knows that this king is from the royal family. If Prime Minister Mu offended this king just now, this king will think that Prime Minister Wood has committed a crime, right? "

Mo Xuan still looked at the emperor with a smile on his face, "Your brother also thinks what this king said is correct, right?"

"Of course," Rong Shu said with a sneer. He thought that the eight years of house arrest had already worn away all the vigor of Mo Xuan, but he never expected that Mu Yao's actions today would arouse his old aura of not allowing others to touch the bottom line and his last Disgusting arrogance.

"Royal Father," Rong Mo called out, gesturing to the gathered crowd around him.

"The flower viewing party is over here, everyone please go back." Rong Shu got up and announced, and coldly snorted at Mu Yao, "The criminal minister Mu Yao has committed crimes, and from today onwards he will be deprived of his official position and demoted to a commoner, no objection is allowed."

After saying that, he walked out of the Seventh Prince's Mansion regardless of the people talking behind him, he shouldn't have come here in the first place.

"Then, lord, lunch?" Lou Xun approached and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, Ben Wang and Liang'er will eat together, it's a pity for Lou Xun's cooking skills. Then Lou Xun will come too."

"Thank you, my lord."

Mo Xuan turned around and said with a smile to Rong Mo and Wei Xian who were about to bid farewell together, "If His Royal Highness doesn't mind, come and enjoy it with Lord Wei."

"No, I'll take my leave first."

way home——

"Wei Xian, I'm afraid the Seventh Prince's Mansion will have to go again."

Wei Xian never questioned the nonsensical words, but still nodded silently, and replied, "Yes."

The author has something to say: Today's His Royal Highness is starting to doubt

☆、Zhemei (Lu)

"His Royal Highness, the Seventh Prince's Mansion has arrived." The coachman stopped the carriage, put the whip aside, and put the pedals in front of the carriage door.

Wei Xian walked down the stairs and helped Rong Mo get off the car.

Rong Mo nodded to the coachman and thanked him in a low voice, "Thank you."

"It's nothing, it's my job. Your Highness doesn't need to thank me every time." The coachman smiled honestly, "When will Your Highness and Lord Wei need me to come again? I'll make preparations early .”

"No need, you can go back first. His Highness the Crown Prince and I will walk back to the palace and take a stroll around Chang'an City."

"Alright, drive!"

Seeing the carriage galloping fast and gradually leaving his field of vision, Wei Xian also turned around and quickly followed Rong Mo's pace.

"His Royal Highness, is it really alright to make a written agreement with the Seventh Prince instead of making an invitation in advance?" When he was talking to the coachman just now, he thought that Lou Xun, who had been informed by the Seventh Prince, had already been stopped by Rong Mo, and he had already walked alone. Enter the Seven Princes' Mansion.

"His Royal Highness is here, please come in." Mo Xuan's voice suddenly came from the room, with a hint of a smile.

Knowing that he wasn't upset, Rong Mo quickly walked into the inner room.

Wei Xian knew that he was not welcome, so he did not enter together, but stood outside the door with Mo Qiuliang, who was taken out of the quilt by Brother Wang early in the morning, and heard the conversation between the two in the room:

"How does the Seventh Prince know that he is lonely? Could it be that after practicing martial arts to a certain level, he can judge visitors by the sound of his footsteps?" Are you not afraid of admitting mistakes?

It is not impossible to judge who is coming just by the sound of footsteps, but it is not something that can be done by people who practice martial arts. Only those who are very familiar with him can do it.But how is it possible?

Rong Mo collected his thoughts and didn't enter the room. He put his arms around his chest and leaned against the door, looking a little more chic.

"No, although you can master it after you have advanced to a certain level. But as long as it is you, I will not admit your mistake." Mo Xuan smiled, sipped his tea, and slightly lowered his original voice, which was hoarse and ambiguous.

He didn't look at him, but just stared at the front vainly, his eyes were as deep as a pool of deep springs, and there was a slight chill.

Rong Mo was taken aback, his ears turned red, it wasn't that he was really affectionate towards him, it was just that what he said was too explicit, and he didn't know how to deal with it. "······Seventh Prince, relying on these sweet words, so that he can only guard the favor in the deep palace."

Mo Xuan got up, approached him, looked at him condescendingly, and couldn't hide his disappointment at him, "I thought His Royal Highness and this king are rare clear people in this world. Now it seems that it is this king who sees it away." Blind."

Rong Mo raised his head and looked straight into his eyes, "Even the most wise and famous person can't judge the situation of the world from the few words of the woodcutter who collects firewood in the mountains. What's more, Yu Gu can even be called 'not enough' A lady who goes out of the house."

Yes, everyone is a lady, she was under house arrest for the first half of her life, and became a pawn for family marriage and expansion in the second half of her life.Compared with them, what difference does Gu have?It's just that there is one more throne coveted by the whole world and heavier shackles.

"If His Highness the Crown Prince is really as he said just now, then I can be called a person in the same situation as you. Then I and His Highness the Crown Prince can also be relatives and friends." Now he is pretending to be so eager for quick success, which seems to be very easy to control up.

Rong Mo reacted sharply, and in order to finish the scene with him, he had no choice but to sneer, "Gu doesn't seem to have promised the prince anything."

Mo Xuan also laughed, "His Royal Highness should also hate the current emperor, after all, the revenge of killing his mother..."

"Shut up for me!"

Although he knew he was acting, Rong Mo still couldn't control his emotions for a moment, pinched Mo Xuan's neck, and roared, "If you hadn't left the house privately back then, how could the queen mother have been implicated by this? ... died."

He said the last two words very lightly, and blurted out as if exhausted, so that he fell to the ground.

Mo Xuan reached out to lift him up, but he slapped him away without hesitation. "Get out! Now that things are up, why bother to be hypocritical?"

"..." Mo Xuan sank his heart and almost forced himself to speak, "I am deeply sorry for the Queen's matter. But even if His Royal Highness kills me here, no one can be saved. What's more, this king This is to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in order to atone for the crime. The Queen’s mother’s family, the Xue family, has many officials in the court, and most of them hold high positions. The Emperor has long wanted to suppress, but he couldn’t find an excuse. This King is his An excuse, if the Sunrise Mansion had not been ordered by him, how could I have arrived in the palace alone? It would be better to say that even the rare freedom of this king was a scam by him."

What was the truth of that day is no longer important.In the end, the empress was killed, the family of Xue was exterminated, and even His Royal Highness was spared because of the desperate persuasion of several ministers.Humans, for the sake of power and power, can do this, it would be better to be a beast.

"The Seventh Prince also admitted that it was your fault, so how can you make Gu trust you?" Rong Mo gritted his teeth, turned his head and didn't want to look at him, he wanted to leave, but he always had an intuition that if he left today I am afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life.

"Now the ministers who know the truth three years ago have already been exterminated by the emperor. But there is one person that the emperor will never kill—Lin Shengli, the emperor's accompanying eunuch."

Mo Xuan returned to the bamboo chair again, sipping tea pretendingly, he was betting, even if he was not half sure, the prince would not win his trust, but he would take a gamble, this was the only thing he could be sure of.But if he doesn't trust him, all previous efforts will be in vain.

"Guzi will judge the truth and falsehood, don't bother the Seventh Prince to set up such a situation so carefully."

Rong Mo left with a flick of his sleeves, and Mo Xuan just smiled as he saw him leave. His white clothes gradually merged with the flying snow and slowly disappeared in the wind.

"Come in, Liang'er." Mo Xuan called, "Lou Xun, see off the guests."

"Yes." Lou Xun walked forward quickly, but was stopped by Wei Xian, "No need, Your Highness and I will go back to the palace on our own."

This was the first scene he acted for him, it was too clumsy, but luckily he believed it.

After Rong Mo left, Mo Xuan weakly supported the wall, and slowly lowered his body, his face gradually pale.

Mo Xuan coughed a few times in a low voice, but Lou Xun didn't stop him, probably because he was already used to it.

Lou Xun just glanced at him calmly: "What are you going to do?"

Mo Xuan coughed again, with a weak smile on his face: "It's up to fate. It doesn't really matter if he believes me or not."

What he should say, what he can say, has been picked and said as much as possible.

And those "pickled" things that he doesn't need to know will definitely rot him in his stomach.

He's pretty good, but I can't have it, and I can't get it.

Lou Xun patted Mo Xuan's shoulder bitterly, but Mo Xuan collapsed.

"Brother Emperor!"

Mo Qiuliang hurriedly supported him, Lou Xun felt his pulse in disbelief, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, just too tired, passed out."

"That's good, that's good," Mo Qiuliang helped him to bed and rested, muttering almost sickly, "He must be fine."

I clearly have him as the only family member left, and he must not have any accidents.

The author has something to say: Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally made some progress.

☆, folded plum (seven)

"Your Highness, just now..." Wei Xian trotted to follow Rong Mo's footsteps, hesitating whether to ask about his conversation with the Seventh Prince just now.

Before leaving, Mo Qiuliang once told him, "This palace advises you not to criticize what the emperor said. The emperor will not poke someone's scar unless it is absolutely necessary. So this palace advises you, don't mention what happened just now , His Royal Highness needs to calm down, it is better not to provoke him."

But he was still worried. Since the queen passed away, he had been by His Highness's side, and he had never seen His Highness the Crown Prince's expression change like this. , but it can be seen clearly.Mixed with sadness and pain, eager to know the truth but unwilling to face it.

No one knew exactly how Rong Mo survived.

The truth of the year, Rong Mo more or less learned a little superficially from other people's remarks, but he has been trying to tell himself: no matter how badass and vile the father is, it is also caused by the Seventh Prince.

But today, the Seventh Prince shattered all his fantasies bit by bit, and told him: The emperor did not hesitate to kill his mother in front of his eyes for the sake of the throne that he had already obtained, and his first wife, even more so, for the sake of eradicating the weeds. Kill him at the age of ten.

"Nothing, bring Eunuch Lin this afternoon. We should understand what happened back then." Rong Mo waved his hand and took out the palace card from his pocket. Punish your own heart."

Rong Mo has always regarded "reason first" as his criterion, and it was really unexpected that he lost control of his emotions in front of the Seventh Prince.The seventh prince can always easily provoke his proud emotion management to lose control, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

In the afternoon, in the Eastern Palace——

"His Royal Highness, Eunuch Lin has arrived." Although Lin Shengli was just an eunuch, Rong Mo couldn't even compare to him in terms of seniority. He entered the palace since childhood and was accompanied by the emperor.When Wei Xian met him, he had to address him respectfully: "Eunuch Lin".

"Eunuch Lin." Rong Mo stood up from the swing, and called out respectfully. Although he knew that he had already gone to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to ask for orders and asked for a close attendant, even though he refused, it was enough to show that he was on the Seventh Prince's side. people.

He was not in a hurry to ask, and was even a little curious about what Lin Shengli would say to complete the statement of the Seventh Prince.After all, the truth is true, but not everyone is the same.

Lin Shengli dusted off the non-existent dust on his body, glared at Wei Xian in disgust, and then looked at Rong Mo, staring at him with sharp eyes, to be precise, staring at his face, from top to bottom Scanning for a while, it seems to be eliminating the shortcomings, the similarities with the emperor.

He sat down on his own again, with his chin half resting, and said slowly: "I know that His Royal Highness specially summoned me, it must not be boring.

As for the purpose, I am also clear about it.The Seventh Prince had already explained to His Highness before, and clarified the misunderstanding, and the reason for inviting me here is nothing more than to prove it.

But I have nothing to say, the Seventh Prince might just tell His Highness: "The emperor just made troubles in order to suppress the power of the Xue family."The Xue family was destroyed, and after several ministers tried their best to persuade them, they saved His Highness's life. 'But His Royal Highness is not curious why no one dared to persuade him back then, and who are those ministers? "

"Since Eunuch Lin intends to tell you, please speak up."

Faced with Rong Mo's unfazed smile, Lin Shengli felt a bit of frustration. He sighed helplessly, and continued, "Fortunately, you resemble the queen, otherwise, I wouldn't want to take advantage of you so much. He made a poisonous oath: If anyone dares to persuade him, he will be guilty of the same crime as the Xue family, ransack the family, and punish the nine clans.

Although there are people who want to write a letter, they are all hindered by this, so nothing can be done.There are only the two masters of the Seventh Prince: know life and death, and exchange your life in exchange for 'rest and stop'.It's a pity that the national treasure "Xizhi" couldn't bear the secular world, and followed the knowledge of life and death, and went back to seclusion, and there is no more world. "

The last two sentences are just Lin Shengli's exclamation, without any other intention, it's just that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

"Let's talk about some happy topics. For example, His Highness the Crown Prince is not curious. Why does the Seventh Prince help His Highness the Crown Prince? Is there no other reason than shame?"

Lin Shengli was still smiling. He really liked the Seventh Prince, but he really didn't like this child, not because of the blood flowing in his body, but because of jealousy.

"Lin Shengli, don't say any more." Mo Xuan hurriedly stopped Lin Shengli, supported his forehead, and entered the gate of the East Palace together with Mo Qiuliang.Lin Shengli is always like this, regards him as the most precious, but is always willing to slander his image in front of outsiders.

Rong Mo is too young, he doesn't want the thoughts he hides from him to become a shackle that restrains him, making him still have hesitation when he strikes.Therefore, he was unwilling to let Lin Shengli come forward unless he had to.

"Seven princes, eldest princess, who are you...?" Wei Xian frowned, he always felt that Lin Shengli seemed to have something in his words, and was about to listen carefully, but was interrupted by these two uninvited guests. And the other party seemed to have no intention of continuing.

"I was afraid that old man Lin would talk nonsense again, and I was also afraid that he would not speak, so I came here." Mo Qiuliang walked up to Lin Shengli without a trace, blocked him behind him, and explained proactively, but in the end he really didn't say what he needed to say. , There are a lot of things that should not be said.

After waiting in the mansion for half an hour, they still caught up, just in time for the critical moment, otherwise, their family fortune would be wiped out.

It's fine to say the names of the two old gentlemen, but you have to explain it so clearly. If you dare to mention Qizhi, isn't old man Lin afraid that the two old gentlemen will draw their swords against each other after they return to China?

"I wonder if His Royal Highness is at ease?" Mo Xuan lifted Lin Shengli with ease, smiling warmly. If Lin Shengli didn't stop in time, what Lin Shengli said might make their previous efforts come to naught.

"The price or the conditions, the Seventh Prince is not a person who is willing to do good. If the conditions of the lonely promise, the Seventh Prince is not satisfied, I am afraid that he will find someone else to cooperate. Instead of giving the opportunity to others for nothing, it is better to be with others." Seven princes cooperate."

"It's for the sake of power to make this king the regent." Rong Mo is not yet married, and he can't be in charge if he is not a weak crown. If he becomes the regent, he can still guard the country for him before he becomes the regent .

"Liang'er is ten and five years old. Take her to Jiji next month, and the emperor will give her a marriage. According to the customs of the country, the marriage will be set within two years. Then the cooperation relationship between the king and the crown prince is tentatively set as Two years. After His Royal Highness ascends the throne, this king will be the regent for three years, but the power still belongs to His Royal Highness, which is a good deal."

Mo Xuan smiled, as if he was sure that he would agree. After all, in the final analysis, all he had was the name of Regent, so why didn't he do it.

"I hope that the Seventh Prince is a man of his word, and we can cooperate happily." Even if you don't know him, you have to make a name for yourself, but you can make a deal without losing money, why not do it, just think that the Seventh Prince is willing to help others.

After Rong Mo left, Mo Qiuliang couldn't help asking: "Brother Huang, I still don't understand why you care so much about him?"

"Who knows? Maybe it was just love at first sight, goodbye." After waiting for him for so many years, I can't tell whether it's obsession or love, but what's the difference?If he is the only one identified, it is him.

In the eighth year of Fengsheng Jiashen, at the end of January, it was only two years from the first year of Qianzhang.Known as the "Jiashen Conspiracy" by later generations, the biggest turning point in the history of Zhiguo happened in the East Palace of Prince Zhiguo.

The author has something to say: Today's His Royal Highness is complacent about a deal that changed his life without knowing it.

After thinking about the attack and receiving attribute for a month, I finally figured it out.

Early stage: cruel and ruthless pretending to be innocent, loyal dog man/wife pretending to be a scumbag
