Chapter 18 The Night at the Palace(1/2)
Xuan Yuan left. Lin Mo knew very well about the purpose of his trip. It must be that Empress Dowager Xuan Shu and Xuan Yuan knew about Li Tai's evil deeds and came here to criticize him this time.
"I want me to let Li Tai go?" Lin Mo sneered in his heart. Li Tai was the most evil. If he let him go, Lin Mo would not be able to get over his conscience.
However, Lin Mo also knew that if Li Tai had acted, he would have made it clear that he would be an enemy with the Hou Party, but Lin Mo was not afraid at all. Sooner or later, they would be the enemy, right?
Now that the time is ripe, now that King Rong is brought up again, what is Lin Mo afraid of? In the future, it will be just a general who will come to block the enemy and the water will come to cover the enemy.
After letting go of Liu Ruoshui in his arms, Lin Mo stood up and handed the box of flying money worth 50,000 gold leaves on the table to Xifeng, and ordered: "Take these to Baiyu with the last twenty-five thousand, and now is the time for her to use the money."
"Yes, the sect leader, my subordinates will send someone to the mistress." Xifeng took the box respectfully, said aloud, and quickly withdrew from the living room.
Mission mother? That is, the eldest lady? Liu Ruoshui was curious about this mistress who had only heard of her name but had not seen her. He didn't know who Fang Jiali was and what she did.
Lin Mo looked back at Liu Ruoshui beside him. Seeing that her face was full of doubt, she smiled slightly and said, "You will see it at that time, don't be curious."
Liu Ruoshui nodded his head in all thoughts, and suddenly Lin Mo said that his chin was raised and said evilly: "I did a good job today. Go to Zhenbao Pavilion to choose something I like, and I said it was what I said."
After hearing this, Liu Ruoshui was happy and nodded happily. Lin Mo waved his hand to Qiu Yun to take her to the Zhenbao Pavilion in the East Courtyard, while he wanted to walk to the inner courtyard.
But after just a few steps, an old man with gray hair came in, and his steps were still a little anxious. The person who came was Emperor Daqian's confidant, eunuch general manager, and Gao Yue.
Seeing that Lin Mo was about to leave the class, Gao Yue hurriedly said, "Lin Shangqing, Your Majesty summons you to the palace. By the way, Your Majesty also asked Lin Shangqing to bring Princess You Yin with you."
Lin Mo was slightly stunned, looked at the sky that was getting late, and said hesitantly: "Eunuch Gao, it's almost the hour of You (17:00). The palace gate is almost locked, right? Your Majesty wants me to enter the palace now?"
At the Great Qian Palace, the 4th hour of You (18:00), the nine gates will be locked, and no one is allowed to enter and exit. It will take nearly half an hour to get from Lin Mansion to the Palace. Now that I go, I will definitely not be able to get out.
Gao Yue smiled and said, "It's okay. Before the old slave came, your Majesty gave you an order to stay in the palace tonight."
Stay in the palace? A foreign minister staying in the palace would violate the imperial law. However, Lin Mo hesitated for a moment and then figured out the truth.
Isn’t it just right to bring Changsun Youyin with you? Changsun Youyin is the real sister of Empress Daqian Changsun Yunshan. It’s not a legitimate thing to keep your sister and Lin Mo, the brother-in-law.
"Please wait, please have a cup of tea here, so let me give you some instructions to the mansion."
After understanding the truth, Lin Mo went to the backyard and explained to Bai Zhilan and Baili Qingcheng, he followed Gao Yue into the palace with Changsun Youyin, Xiaowan, Xifeng Qiuyun.
Just when Lin Mo and his party had just reached the Qingwu Chongmen, this scene happened in the Ansheng Palace of Empress Dowager Xuan Shu.
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu held the best Yuncha in front of her, savored it carefully, put the teacup back on the table, and said lightly: "My brother went to the Lin Mansion to test his attitude towards Li Tai, how did he react?"
Xuan Yuan also put down the teacup in his hand and said respectfully: "When the Empress Dowager said, my brother is really unsure of Lin Mo's attitude. He seems to have agreed, but he doesn't seem to have no."
"What do you mean?" Empress Dowager Xuan Shu said curiously, picked up the teacup again and tasted it.
Xuan Yuan thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts and said, "She took our money and the beauty, and also mentioned it. There may be some behind the real murderer. From this perspective, he may have agreed, and he is very perfunctory to us."
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu suddenly tightened her hand holding the teacup, her face turned cold and said, "If he dares to perfunctory us, he must be apart from this leader of the Mo Sect, otherwise it will only be our disaster."
"But Empress Dowager, hasn't this move pushed him to King Rong's side? It's not worth the loss for us. Is it really right?"
Xuan Yuan was very worried. You should know that the power of Mo Sect was even afraid of those vassal states. If Mo Sect and King Rong had joined forces, the situation would be very bad.
"What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Xuan Shu grinned a cold smile: "Do you think that King Rong would really dare to openly oppose me for a Mo Sect?"
"Hmph, as long as Li Tai's matter is handled cleanly, the one who is unlucky is King Rong. I want to weigh the pros and cons here, King Rong still weighs it very clearly. After all, Mo Sect is just a sect in the martial arts world."
"Yes, Empress Dowager, my brother understands it. My brother will go to Duke Shan to help Li Tai deal with it."
Now the evidence is in the Duke of Shanguo's mansion. Xuan Yuan is worried that King Rong will really grit his teeth and rush into the mansion with Lin Mo. Therefore, Xuan Yuan wants to deal with the stone in his heart as soon as possible.
As he said that, Xuan Yuan was about to get up and say goodbye, but was stopped by Xuan Shu: "Don't worry, brother, the palace gate is still locked in a while. Let's go and do it after the morning court tomorrow."
"But..." Xuan Yuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Empress Dowager Xuan Shu's words.
"Don't worry, brother, Lin Mo will not take any action tonight. Ning'er, who is unwilling to be a puppet, has already recruited him and Changsun Youyin into the palace in the name of visiting relatives."
"This..., okay, my brother obeys the order." Xuan Yuan hesitated for a moment, but thought that since Lin Mo had entered the palace, nothing might happen, so he stopped insisting and stayed in the palace.
"That's it. Brother, don't worry too much about Mo Sect." Empress Dowager Xuan Shu didn't take Mo Sect too much: "Just rest, there are so many beauties in the palace."
Although the Mo Sect is one of the three peak sects in Zhongzhou Continent, there are only a few thousand people. Empress Dowager Xuan Shu is confident that a Mo Sect can no longer defeat her army of hundreds of thousands of people no matter what.
Why did Empress Dowager Xuan Shu have this kind of mentality? Because in Zhongzhou, the court has always been the ruling world, and those practitioners in the world are just tools to serve power.
Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu forgot that there is a slight effort in this world, and it has a butterfly effect. Even a small butterfly flapping its wings can trigger a storm.
Lin Mo happened to be the butterfly that was about to cause a storm and was destined to cause a storm, because Lin Mo was the chess player, and the world was just a game of chess.
"Yes, Empress Dowager, my brother understands it, so I will say goodbye first." Xuan Yuan said respectfully and withdrew from Ansheng Palace.
Just as Xuan Yuan withdrew, Lin Mo and Changsun Youyin entered Fengyi Palace. Seeing Emperor Dagan and Empress Dagan, the two of them were about to kneel down and were immediately stopped by Emperor Dagan.
"I don't need to be polite to worry about my voice. We are reunited by our family. We are not a monarch and minister. Just face the red tape, so that we won't be separated."
"Thank you Your Majesty!" Lin Mo and Changsun Youyin said in unison.
After the greetings, Lin Mo carefully observed that Queen Dagan's face had improved a lot, and had already become bloody, not as pale as when she first met her.
Seeing that his sister came and the health of the big fucking queen was much better, she said excitedly: "Yuyin, come and see me. My sister has been living a good life these days."
Looking at the excited Queen Dagan, she was about to pull Changsun Youyin to tell her sisterly relationship. Emperor Dagan gave Lin Mo a color, Lin Mo understood and the two went to the side hall together.
After the two men, the Queen of Dagan, took Changsun Youyin's hand and said with concern: "Youyin, it was my sister and Your Majesty who wronged you and gave you to others as a concubine."
Changsun Youyin was born in a large family in Lanzhou, and her sister is the queen of the current dynasty. Even if she doesn’t have any power, she is still an extremely noble person. She has become a concubine for others and is also the fourth room, which is indeed a grievance.
Changsun Youyin shook his head: "No, sister, husband, I'm very nice to my sister. My sister feels very lucky. That day, I happened to go to the Imperial Garden to play the piano and meet him."
"Husband?" Emperor Dagan was slightly stunned. After calming down, he asked softly: "You call me Lin Shangqing's husband. You have just moved into his mansion for a few days and have already settled in his house?"
As he said that, without waiting for Changsun Youyin to answer, the Queen Dagan sighed: "You are so stupid, don't wait. When my sister and Your Majesty take power, she will be married with the ceremony of Princess Dagan!"
Seeing the sighing look of Queen Dagan, Changsun Youyin shook his head: "Sister, have you misunderstood? My husband and I have not yet joined the house, so we just call it that."
"Don't have a house together? That's good! That's good!" Emperor Dagan was delighted: "Since worry, wait a little longer, wait until my sister and Your Majesty get you married, so Lin Shangqing dare not let you down."
"No need, sister!" Changsun Youyin shook his head again and smiled knowingly: "Husband Waiyouyin is very good. Husband said that after two days, the case in hand is the day when we have a house together. Youyin has been looking forward to it."
"Oh--" Emperor Dagan sighed long: "Silly sister, you just follow him like this, you are so wronged. You are the daughter of our Changsun family!"
"Sister doesn't feel wronged." As he said, Changsun Youyin's face was covered with blush and he said weakly: "Sister thinks that having the favor of his husband is the real happiness, just like the sister and Your Majesty, everything else is just false."
Looking at Changsun Youyin's pretty face flushed and smiling happily, Emperor Dagan sighed long, and a hint of self-blame was raised on his face: "Oh, it's all my sister and father and mother who have wronged you. Let me come to the palace and stay in the empty room for nine years, which will make you wasted your past years."
Changsun Youyin tightened his hand tightly and said with a smile: "No, sister, sister, sister thinks that the sky has let my sister stay empty for nine years, just to ask her to wait for her husband. This is the fate between her and her husband."
Seeing that Changsun Youyin had no trace of sorrow on his face, there was only a look of happiness, Emperor Dagan suddenly became enlightened and smiled gently, "It's good. If Lin Shangqing dares to aggrieved his sister, he must tell her sister, and she will help you vent her anger."
"Don't worry, sister, there won't be that day."
Fengyi Palace, side hall.
Emperor Dagan sat opposite Lin Mo.
"Ziyong, as soon as you enter the imperial capital, the storm of the imperial capital will indeed start to move. The Rong Party and the Hou Party confront each other on the surface, and the peaceful situation has finally been broken."
The court has been in great chaos these days. The Rong Party and the Hou Party impeached each other's officials, which was a great smell of war. The emperor, who was a third party, was of course happy that they quarreled.
"Your Majesty, it's not the time to be happy now. They still have a real breakup now, just a small fight." Lin Mo smiled mysteriously: "The night after tomorrow will be the real big show, and Your Majesty only needs to enjoy it for a lifetime."
"Okay, I'm waiting to watch the show." Emperor Dagan smiled loudly, and suddenly felt a little worried: "By the way, if you really tear your face with them, are you sure to deal with their revenge? Do you need my help? Although it may not be of much use."
"Your Majesty's kindness, I appreciate it." Lin Mo drank a cup of tea lightly and smiled, "I don't take it seriously by the practitioners under their command."
"But Ziyong, although your Mo Sect has many powerful spiritual cultivators, you only brought two great sword masters down the mountain. Is it really okay? Do you want me to lend Gai Chen to you?" Emperor Dagan was still a little worried.
"It's really no need. Your Majesty, I'm prepared for it." Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is still the Queen's safety. Gai Chen can't leave the Fengyi Palace Gate now."
Now Emperor Dagan doesn't want Gai Chen to accompany him to protect him, but instead sent him to lead a team of imperial guards and several practitioners at the swordsman level to be on duty in Fengyi Palace, so as not to give Empress Dowager Xuan Shu any chance to harm or contact Emperor Dagan.
Looking at Lin Mo's sincere and confident appearance, Emperor Dagan had to smile slightly: "Okay, then Ziyong should be more careful, I will count on you."
"Your Majesty is at ease." Lin Mo nodded, and suddenly turned his mind and said with a sudden turn: "Your Majesty, you can't just call me into the palace at this time to care about my safety and let the Queen and Liu Yin talk about my sisterly relationship?"
When the palace gate was about to fall, he recruited himself into the palace, and the one who sent him was still Gao Yue. Lin Mo didn't believe that it would be a big deal for his own safety and the Emperor's sisters.
The Emperor Dagan paused for a moment before sighing: "Ziyong can really tell the head's mind. That's it. Ziyong, I need you to help me with one thing, and I can only rest assured that you will do that."
"But with your Majesty's instructions, I will do my best to do it." Lin Mo said respectfully.
Emperor Dagan hesitated for a moment, but did not say it directly. He looked around or was worried that there would be ears in the partition wall, so he turned around and whispered beside Lin Mo's ear.
After saying that, the Emperor Dakan sat back to his original position and said with a serious expression: "I'll ask you about Ziyong, this is related to my foundation for doing it."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!" As he said that, Lin Mo bowed to Emperor Dagan, and his face was filled with a feeling called sincerity.
During the second update of the People’s Constant Resolution (21:00-23:00), in Yongfu Palace.
Yongfu Palace has always been the residence of the princess of the Dagan Empire, but because the daughters of the predecessor of the Dagan Emperor Ji Fang were married to the princes and princes of all parties by Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, the Yongfu Palace was empty.
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was very cruel to the sons of Ji Fang, the predecessor of Dagan, and slaughtered them on various charges, leaving only the current Dagan Emperor. In addition to Ji Ning as a puppet, there were King Rong who had already held the power at the age of sixteen and Ji Guang alone.
Today, the Yongfu Palace welcomed two guests again, namely Changsun Youyin, the princess who has not yet been officially enthroned, and Lin Mo, the unjust prince-consort.
After changing and washing under the service of the palace maids, Lin Moping lay on the soft collapse, and there was a pretty beauties lying beside him, officially Changsun Youyin.
Listening to the crackling sound inside the golden yarn cloud pattern lamp and smelling the faint smell of red candle oil, Lin Mo swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and suddenly grabbed the beautiful woman beside him with one hand.
Feeling Lin Mo's big hand suddenly grabbed his hand, Changsun Youyin's heart trembled and said in panic: "Husband, it's late at night, it's time for us to rest."
"Yes, it's time to rest." As he said that, Lin Mo gritted his teeth, turned over, and hugged Changsun Youyin in his arms. When he felt the heart full of Xiangyu, Lin Mo was full of excitement.
This is the first time Lin Mo and Changsun Youyin are sleeping on the same bed. In addition to the women Lin Mo knows, Changsun Youyin is the best among the women that Lin Mo knows.
