Ci'an Palace
"Empress, why didn't you stop that little hoof from breaking off the engagement?"
Aunt Gui was waiting for the Queen Mother to lie down to sleep, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Humph, you old man, as long as anyone related to that bitch, never want to get married to the royal family. She broke off the engagement and canceled the assassination. As for whoever wants her life in the future, the Ai family will I can’t control it!”
The Queen Mother was lying in bed, and her teeth started to itch when she thought of the late emperor's gift of marriage.
That bitch has been married for so long, but she still stands between them.
He would go to every palace banquet just to see her as the mistress of the Song family!
With Yeluyin's death, he almost crippled her.
Fortunately, Yi'er was there, otherwise she would have died long ago.
Qin Jixiang felt extremely happy knowing that Qin Jixi had been slapped by the emperor.
Fortunately, the queen did not let her enter the palace early.
Just wait, Mo Lan won't feel well in a few days!
Mo Lan entered the palace every day and watched the queen take medicine.
The queen was not willing to take the medicine at all at first.
The medicine prescribed by Mo Lan was much more bitter than those prescribed by the imperial doctors, and it made my throat sore every time I drank it.
She suspected that Mo Lan did it on purpose, and she had no intention of breaking off the engagement.
It wasn't until later that the imperial concubine wanted to see her, but she was sarcastic at the door when she couldn't come in.
She just grabbed the medicine and drank it in one gulp.
Hum, no matter how miserable she is, she is still a queen!
Her son and she are still of the same mind!
15th Lantern Festival
Mo Lan, Mo Ran, Song Ying, and Chang Qinying had already made an appointment to go out together.
"You go first, I have something to say to Lan'er."
After struggling for a long time, Mo Hong still kept Mo Lan.
When Mo Lan went to the palace yesterday, the queen was already well.
Next, just pay attention to your diet.
The emperor also decreed to break off the engagement.
"You go ahead and wait for me at Niyou Bridge."
The three little girls went out noisily.
"father."
Mo Hong put down the teacup in his hand.
"Lan'er, daddy thinks you are different."
What was supposed to come came anyway. My daughter suddenly changed, and parents naturally noticed it immediately.
"Daddy, what do you think is different about me?"
Mo Hong looked at his daughter in front of him.
It's still the same, but with a hint of coldness and alienation.
Before, he comforted himself that his daughter had grown up and matured.
But on the night of the palace banquet, he was asked to go to King Qi.
Asked to break off the engagement in the Queen's Palace.
These are not things the daughter he knows can do.
"Dad can't tell. Maybe it's because you don't cause trouble anymore and dad isn't used to it."
Mo Lan looked at the wrinkles on her father's face and his temples that had turned white.
There are many people in this world who can practice cultivation.
As the level continues to increase, the life span will become longer.
After becoming a great spiritual master, your lifespan can be increased.
Mo Hong has average talent and is only a sixth-level spiritual master. He has not made a breakthrough for many years. He may be able to walk in front of her.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan folded his hands and held them tightly.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Dad, my daughter has indeed grown up. She knows that it is not easy for dad to maintain the family. The power of the Qin family in the court is targeting her. There is a queen mother in the harem, and the queen is keeping an eye on the Mo family and won't let go."
"We are a family. We have to face difficulties together. Dad can't just bear it alone."
"My daughter has never been stupid. I used to think that as long as I was a loser and a loser, the Mo family would be safe."
Mo Lan pulled up a small stool and sat next to him.
"But I was wrong. How could an ambitious person let go of his prey so easily?"
"My daughter has escaped all kinds of assassinations over the years, but if she continues to hide, how long can she hide? If the Mo family is not strong, they will still be trampled on by others."
"I made a deal with King Qi. I detoxified him in exchange for him protecting the Chu family. King Qi is indeed scary, but in his heart he cares about the country and the country, and peace in the world. He disdains family struggles. His daughter is betting on him. Modesty."
Mo Hong patted her head.
The unsolved secret of King Qi's daughter is actually not a big secret, but it is just a tacit agreement that everyone keeps silent about it.
"What can dad do?"
"Dad, you are a good official, clean, upright, and courageous. In fact, the biggest way out for the Mohist family lies with you. Do you remember Mr. Liu, the former Guanglu doctor? He was framed by others and his whole family was imprisoned. It was the King of Qi who helped him rehabilitate him and he was able to resign peacefully. The official returns to his hometown."
"Dad, you are the same kind of people. You are both good officials who serve the country and the people. You are also your daughter's strongest support."
Mo Honglao burst into tears and couldn't help crying.
Song Fuyue was outside the living room, wiping away her tears with the silk handkerchief in her hand.
They are all helpless people.
When she was pregnant with Lan'er, she was poisoned so that she could not practice cultivation as soon as she was born.
She thought about leaving the capital as a family.
You can see Mo Hong talking about his dream with great energy.
She decided that no matter what the outcome was, we would face it together.
When she was pregnant with Ran'er, she hardly took a step out of the yard.
With only Lan Die taking care of him, Uncle Geng was busy with everything.
Only then did Ran'er be born safely.
The wind blew and the trees in the yard swayed.
Gong Yi originally planned to take Mo Lan to see the old lady.
Hearing their conversation, he hid in the big tree in the yard.
"Chifeng, go check the Chu family's account statements and all the movements of Mr. Mo since he became an official."
"Yes." Chifeng's throat became tight.
"how?"
"It's nothing. I'm just happy. After so many years, someone finally understands the prince."
Chifeng left with red eyes.
Heavy snow fell from the sky.
Gong Yi flew to stand on the roof of the drinking building, holding the medicine bottle given by Mo Lan.
Apart from the palace walls, this is the only place where you can clearly see the layout of the city.
Since his grandfather, the internal fighting in the capital has never stopped.
When the emperor first came to power, he was also diligent and caring for the people.
But now, he is focused on playing power.
There are more and more people around him, and some even boldly suggest that he seize the throne.
But he promised his father that he would only protect the world.
He began to become violent, treating corrupt officials, those who formed cliques for personal gain, and those who attempted treason.
None of them ended well.
Most of his supporters left.
He didn't want to pay too much attention to the Mo family, as it was a restricted area for his mother.
The heavy snow comes and goes quickly.
Walking on the road rustling.
As night falls, the streets are cleared of snow.
Every house is decorated with lanterns and colors.
Guessing lantern riddles and having Lantern Festival, it was so lively.
The four girls were playing and playing with the newly made candy figures in their hands.
Gong Yi followed them without anyone noticing.
"Your Majesty, all the information you asked for is available."
Gong Yi took the information and walked into the restaurant nearby.
In the elegant room, read carefully.
Mo Hong has been an official for sixteen years and rarely visits other officials' homes except those of relatives.
The court, the household department, and the home are all at three o'clock and one line every day.
The monthly salary is one hundred taels, more than half of which is spent on poor families.
Song Fuyue only had four shops under her name, and business was slow, so she simply converted them into temporary shelters.
He closed the document and punched the table.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is the son-in-law of the Qin family, and the Censor of the Inspectorate is General Qin's brother-in-law. Therefore, everything Mr. Mo did was not reported, but was suppressed."
I used to think that the Qin family were nothing more than blood-sucking insects. If I was really disgusted, I could just beat them to death.
But now, the earthworm shakes the tree!
"Send a few people to secretly protect the Mo family."
"yes."
Mo Lan and four others were guessing lantern riddles.
He was about to reach out and pull off the guessed one to exchange for a reward.
One hand reached over her and pulled it off.
"You...the king, the prince."
"The answer is the lamp."
Hand the paper to the responsible person behind the desk.
"Master, here are the puzzle gifts prepared for the ladies. Look."
The hawker looked at the person in front of him. He was wearing a mask on the big day, and his eyes were really penetrating.
"Give it to her."
"Hey, okay, madam, take it. The prize is Shufang's hairpin. Your husband is really interested in you."
Mo Lan grabbed the hairpin and if he stayed there any longer, a certain man would cut out someone's tongue.
"Your Highness came to see me, what's the matter?"
Mo Lan is holding a bunch of things. The lantern riddles here are quite easy to guess.
She almost couldn't make a move.
"Chifeng, help Miss Chu send things back to Mo Mansion."
Chifeng hurriedly took the things from Mo Lan's hand.
Just kidding, the iron tree is about to bloom, so he has to use all his energy to help.
"I heard a story today. The main beam of a woman's house was hollowed out by termites and was about to collapse. She used an ax to chop away the infested areas. Repeatedly, the house couldn't bear the weight and collapsed. If you were that woman, How will it be done?”
"Termites eat the beams and are greedy for food. If they invade my home, they will be deprived of their food and their nests will be destroyed. The fuel will be removed from the bottom of the cauldron and the boat will be destroyed!"
This was the second time Mo Lan looked at him, but something seemed different.
The wind blew and the bells hanging on the trees jingled.
Gong Yi withdrew his gaze.
"Prepare gifts tomorrow and follow me to the old master's house to become a disciple."
"You like hairpins?"
Um?
Why are you asking this suddenly?
By the way, he won the hairpin just now!
"The prince gave it to me, so I naturally like it."
Gong Yi left with satisfaction, leaving Mo Lan alone in a daze.
The apprenticeship gifts have been prepared long ago and are waiting for notification.
When Mo Lan took Mo Ran home, her father looked at the gift boxes piled high in depression.
"Someone just sent these. They said you liked them, so they are piled here."
Mo Lan opened the hairpin curiously, and then opened a few more hairpins of various styles.
So her answer just now was correct.
The way King Qi rewards people is so... heroic!
I should have known I liked silver.
"Oh, Dad, this is from Brother Shen's house. He asked me to help research and make new tricks. I will send it back when the time comes."
"Oops, Dad, it's too late. Go and rest. I'll take care of it here."
Mo Lan coaxed her father to go to bed, and moved back with Ai Xiang and Lu Zhuhaha bitterly.
What Mo Lan didn't know was that in the eyes of a certain prince, she was already a slum girl.
On the second day, Mo Lan got into King Qi's carriage under the watch of the whole family.
The apprenticeship went smoothly.
After leaving the Taishi Mansion, Gong Yi left and went to Jizhou. Mo Lan wanted to go alone.
Soon she will go back to the academy to study.
Although the current Mo family is not vulnerable.
But after all, his strength is weak. If he encounters the strong man from last time again, or is assassinated, his vitality will be severely damaged!
