Xihe: "..."
There is no way to refute Song Mo's words.
Therefore, from that day on, Xihe could always see the prince appearing in the small courtyard every now and then, and occasionally a few ministers came, mostly familiar faces, and occasionally a few unfamiliar faces, all talking about matters in the court.
If they happened to meet each other, Xihe would be silent and add tea and water.
The ministers looked her over at first, and when they saw her too much, they called her "Yue'er girl", and Xihe responded politely.
The prince's eyebrows were soft, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was different from Song Mo's visible willfulness. It was obviously a face that belonged to a superior person, and he would only take it off occasionally in front of people close to him.
Once, it seemed that the emperor had done something wrong again, and the prince's faction lost a lot of profits.
As soon as the courtyard door was closed, several ministers who came in in plain clothes immediately sighed and began to complain. The prince comforted him with a humble attitude, which made several ministers feel embarrassed. However, after the discussion was over, as soon as the ministers left, the prince said: ’ The tea cup in his hand was thrown to the ground.
"Master, calm down!"
The chamberlain immediately knelt on the ground.
Song Mo's hand holding the tea cup paused and couldn't help but look at him.
The prince snorted coldly, with a stern look on his eyebrows: "Zimo, look, there is no need to wait any longer, come as soon as possible..."
The next words were not spoken, but the meaning was self-evident.
Song Mo was silent, and Xihe looked dumbfounded at the side, thinking that they could get on this pirate ship now, or get on it, and the prince had never thought of leaving a way out for them!
After hearing these words, if I lose in the future, I will have to shed my skin even if I don't die.
Xihe was a little ashamed, and under the trembling eyes of the chamberlain, he stepped forward and picked up the broken tea cup: "Your Highness's condition has not recovered yet, so it is better to be less angry, so as not to get angry and affect your recovery."
The prince was stunned for two seconds and suddenly laughed.
Patting Song Mo on the shoulder: "Zimo, in terms of calmness, you are not as good as Yue'er."
Song Mo smiled bitterly: "Yue'er was raised in a deep boudoir and doesn't know much about dignity. Your Highness has always been friendly to her. Naturally, she just thought it was her brother who had encountered troubles and was worried about your illness. But I am different... …”
Who knows if you are so wanton now, will your attitude be the same later?
The prince continued to laugh, but stopped for a while and looked at Xihe: "Yue'er is smart. If I have a sister like you, I can wake up with a smile every day."
Xihe was frightened: "Your Highness is showing off your love."
After that, the prince's attitude became more and more comfortable in the courtyard, but once he left the courtyard, he returned to his gentle and elegant appearance.
Song Mo and the prince were planning day by day, and the situation in the court was also changing. The emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and several princes were making small moves. Many decisions were transferred to the prince's hands, whether they wanted to or not.
As soon as the prince got it, he would hold it tightly and then hand it over to the people he trusted.
The emperor was furious and suspected that the prince had drugged him, so he ordered a thorough investigation. However, what was found directly pointed to the sixth prince, the fifth prince, and even the harem.
"How dare! How dare!"
The emperor was so angry that he immediately arrested the two princes and concubines.
When the favored concubine was brought in, she had a rosy face and cried sadly that she was wronged. However, the evidence was conclusive and she was kicked directly in the heart by the emperor: "Bitch! I'm going to kill you!"
A sword pierced the heart on the spot, and the two princes were demoted to common people.
If he dared to touch his life, the emperor showed no mercy at all. If the ministers and clan members had not come to plead for mercy, the two princes would have died on the spot. Even so, they were still so frightened that they could not control themselves.
The emperor was so afraid of death that he put up a list to look for famous doctors in the world, and also found many monks and Taoist priests to enter the palace.
While refining elixirs and refining medicines, chanting sutras and listening to Buddha, the palace was full of smoke and smoke.
The ministers lamented: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"
The prince looked at it coldly, and then began to gather the officials without hesitation. Now the situation became more and more obvious. The officials could see clearly that except for a few who were involved with other princes and wanted to make bold plans to follow the dragon, most of them were gathered together. Under the prince's door.
At this point, the prince's family is the only one.
However, the prince was still not relaxed. Various natural disasters occurred all over the country, making him extremely busy every day.
But one wave after another broke out, and news came from the border that barbarians often invaded the border, or there was a fear of war.
The Yue Kingdom has not been able to fight for many years. When the news came back, the ministers did not care and said with disdain: "My defeated generals are nothing to worry about. General Weiyuan is making too much fuss."
This news came back from General Shen Jiaweiyuan.
General Shen was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this: "Do you know the border situation or do I, the Shen family, know better? Pancheng has always been a battleground for military strategists. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous. Your Highness -"
He cupped his hands and looked at the prince: "Quinzi must not be the kind of person who talks nonsense. I hope you will investigate thoroughly."
The civil and military officials in the dynasty stopped saying anything and looked at the prince one after another, waiting for him to make the decision.
The prince pondered for a long time: "This matter will be discussed later."
After leaving the court, he went straight to Wutong Alley and handed the letter to Song Mo.
Song Mo happened to rest after exercising, so he took it and opened it and took a look. His brows suddenly furrowed, and he put it down for a while and looked at the prince.
The prince put his hands on his knees: "I remember you told me about this before."
Song Mo clenched his fist, coughed slightly, and nodded: "When I started from the temple, the temple master gave me three hexagrams, about fate, fate, and people. The first 'fate' is my life, and the second 'Fate' is destiny, and these last 'people' are presumably the subjects of this world."
The prince nodded: "Zi Sang also told Gu about this."
Song Mo nodded: "The three hexagrams are all signed, but they have the intention of turning things around."
"I was destined to die young. Before the death of the old concubine, I said that I would not live to be twenty. However, the day before yesterday, I just celebrated my twentieth birthday. I have never thought clearly about this fate, but with one word from the people, it will be In front of you. Your Highness."
Looking at the prince: "This matter should be taken seriously."
The prince nodded and said, "I understand."
After the prince left with worries, Xihe sat in front of Song Mo: "You can't live to be twenty?"
When Song Mo heard this, a smile slowly bloomed on his face: "That's what the old temple master said, and he also left a message, telling me not to go down the mountain, otherwise I will die faster. But two years ago, the temple master calculated it again. , but he said that a turning point had appeared, and then kicked me out."
"It's just that I didn't expect that not only was my life safe, but my legs were also cured."
Holding her chin, she looked at Xihe intently: "Yue'er, you are really my lucky star."
Xihe: "..."
She disagreed with this statement, but it was true that everyone's fate had changed.
Last month, at Mrs. Song's strong request, she attended the flower viewing party with her. At the banquet, girls from various families competed and showed off their talents. However, after walking around, she didn't see Shen Piaopiao.
Later, she inquired specifically and found out that the lady had gone to the border.
