The Prime Minister's Mansion was attacked twice, and even in the early hours of the morning, under the protection of General Zuo and Prime Minister Mo, a ghost in red was still seen flashing past the courtyard gate.
This situation is not normal.
General Zuo has been on the battlefield all year round. It is easy for evil spirits to breed in that kind of place, and he has seen a lot of strange things. However, in terms of experience, he is obviously no match for Mo Xiang.
The cockcrow sounded, and General Zuo finally relaxed, and couldn't help but ask his father-in-law beside him for advice.
"Father-in-law, Xiaoxu is a little unclear, please give me some advice." General Zuo felt that this matter was strange. His idea was very simple, and it was also a common idea among men nowadays, that is, it was the woman who caused the trouble.
He thought that there would be so many changes tonight, maybe his wife had done something wrong, or there was something fishy about the child she was carrying.
For example, evil breeds, dirty things, strange fates, etc.
Of course, he would not say these words, nor could he express them in front of Mo Xiang.
Even if these things really happened, he would pretend he didn't know anything about them. As long as Mo Xiang remains Mo Xiang, Mo Zhenzhen will be his wife, the right lady.
However, even if General Zuo didn't say anything, Mo Xiang could guess what he was thinking.
Mo Xiang was not angry. He just glanced at his son-in-law lightly, which cleared up his confusion.
"Pregnancy for women is a kind of harm to women, which will weaken their vitality, and the fetus itself is weak and is an excellent target for taking away the body."
After Mo Xiang said this, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. General Zuo waited, but before he could answer his questions, he couldn't help but ask.
"Women in this world have to get pregnant and give birth to children. Don't all of them have to go through this?"
This statement feels a bit like a question.
But Mo Xiang was still not angry.
He put down the teacup and continued talking to General Zuo.
"In order to protect the safe growth of the fetus, a woman will secrete amniotic fluid to protect the fetus before it is born. There is innate Qi in the amniotic fluid, which is an excellent barrier against ghosts and monsters when it is in a woman's body. If the amniotic fluid breaks, the innate Qi will disperse and the woman will become weak. .”
At this point, Mo Xiang sighed.
"Zhenzhen is pregnant with multiple fetuses this time, which is very dangerous in itself. In addition, she is in a hurry to give birth, and the child's life is precious (guessed). Of course, it will attract the covetousness of ghosts and monsters." "You don't have to worry about this, wait. When she wakes up, I will ask her to worship the ancestors of the Mo family and ask them to bless her, and then I will ask the Holy Spirit for a grace to be protected by the dragon energy."
General Zuo was stunned for a moment, a little excited, then thought about it, and then said.
"Our Zuo family is also a big family in Xunyang. We can also go home to worship our ancestors for blessings."
General Zuo didn't respond much when he asked for blessings from the ancestors of the Mo family, and he even felt dissatisfied.
But after hearing that Mo Xiang asked for the emperor's grace, General Zuo's mind became active.
He also said this to show his goodwill to Mo Xiang. Mo Xiang's attitude was flat and did not say whether he was good or bad. He didn't say anything until he got up to wash up and prepare to go to court.
"Chuan Shan (Zuo Dingmin's name), I heard that you have a concubine who is also pregnant."
Zuo Dingmin was originally thinking about the reputation and benefits that today's incident would bring to him, but suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Mo Xiang ask this question.
If Mo Xiang doesn't care about concubinage, then it doesn't matter if he is more casual. After all, it is normal for men to like fresher women.
As for what Mo Zhenzhen thinks, it makes no sense to Zuo Dingmin.
She thought whatever she wanted, and he didn't care if she killed those concubines or messed with other things. She was just a woman, what could she do?
But if Mo Xiang cares, then this matter will be a big deal to him.
Zuo Dingmin made an instant decision, quickly bent down and said humbly.
"It's Xiaoxu Menglang. Xiaoxu will take care of it when the woman turns around."
Seeing that Zuo Dingmin was interested, Mo Xiang said softly, "Hmm", and then talked to Zuo Dingmin.
"Your taking a concubine is something you and Zhenzhen need to discuss, but since ancient times, the eldest son of a concubine has been a taboo. Since the concubine is pregnant, just send it to Zhuangzi to raise her. After all, she is of Zuo family blood, and ordinary concubines can raise them. ”
In the final analysis, Mo Xiang still thinks about things from a man's perspective.
What he meant was very simple. He had objections to the pregnant concubine, but the point of his objection was that he could not let the concubine give birth to the child before Mo Zhenzhen.
No matter when this concubine gives birth, the child she gives birth to cannot be the eldest son of a concubine.
Zuo Dingmin felt relieved after hearing what Mo Xiang said.
He didn't like his concubine Lan'er that much. What he cared about was the child in Lan'er's belly.
When Mo Xiang showed dissatisfaction just now, Zuo Dingmin was ready to lose the child. Unexpectedly, there was a turn of events, and what Mo Xiang said was well-founded and not difficult, so Zuo Dingmin agreed immediately.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, my wife is the first in the General's Mansion. No one can surpass her and her children."
As for the child Lan'er gives birth to, if it's a daughter, that's fine. If it's a son, if it's born early, keep it secret. If it's born late, teach him the duties of a bastard.
What Zuo Dingmin cares most about is his own future.
The two reached an agreement verbally, and then they changed clothes, had dinner and went to court.
Zuo Dingmin did not go back to the General's Mansion, but asked someone to go back and get the court clothes from the previous court. He stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion to serve Prime Minister Mo for dinner, and also took a bite himself.
The father-in-law and son-in-law got along well with each other, and then went to court together. At the court, Zuo Dingmin once again saw the influence of Prime Minister Mo in the court and the importance the emperor attached to Prime Minister Mo.
This was what Mo Xiang deliberately showed to Zuo Dingmin. After going to court, Zuo Dingmin became more attentive and respectful to Mo Xiang.
Mo Xiang was very satisfied with this. Later, when the "counselor" around Zuo Dingmin gave him some advice and encouraged him to secretly adopt a child for Mo Xiang to inherit, it became a matter of course.
Firstly, Mo Zhenzhen is pregnant with many children, and secondly, the Mo family has a great business. If a child is adopted, the child will inherit everything in the Mo family. He can also find a good future for his son.
Zuo Dingmin was ready to take action under the instigation of the "counselor", but Mo Xiang was as stable as a rock.
Mo Zhenzhen ate, dressed, and washed as usual. During this period, her step-wife stayed with her and talked to her. As for what happened last night, no one mentioned it. After eating and drinking, the doctor checked her pulse and made sure the fetus in her belly was fine. Then I felt relieved.
Mo Zhenzhen still had a peaceful look on her face, but her mind never stopped thinking.
This ancient time was very different from the ancient times she knew. It was obviously more dangerous and disadvantageous for her. She fell into this world with a blind eye, had a bad start and didn't know anything. She couldn't even find a plan. It is not clear how to complete the task or what task to complete.
