The stars were shining over the moon, and the Milky Way was shining brightly. It was already past midnight, but Mo Zeming was still busy in Luo Xing Pavilion. Mo Chen stood outside the door as usual without saying a word, but his face still looked a little brighter.
The look of worry.
In the past half month, the little head of the Mo family seemed to have made new discoveries in the astrolabe. He was fiddling with his ivory calculations all day long as if he was possessed, even to the point of not thinking about food and drink. Mo Chen tried to persuade him several times.
It had no effect, so I had to order my servants to heat the tonic medicinal food on the fire at all times, and urge them to take it whenever they got the opportunity.
But even so, Mo Zeming, who was already weak, was still losing weight day by day.
At present, the silver-haired boy had been staying in the high pavilion on the top of the mountain for a whole day, but not a drop of water had entered. After another half an hour, Mo Chen couldn't bear it any longer, and reached out to push the door open. Who knew that his hand hadn't touched it yet?
When he reached the thick door panel, he heard a muffled sound in front of him, and it was Mo Zeming walking out of Luo Xing Pavilion on his own.
"Little master, you make me worry so much!"
The man's tone was slightly reproachful, but when he looked at the young master in front of him, he saw that his lips were bloodless, his face was like gold paper, and his body swayed twice before falling straight down.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Mo Chen stepped forward to support the other person and held the silver-haired boy in his arms. Then he turned to look inside Luo Xing Pavilion, only to see that the arithmetic papers that had been neatly placed on the floor were unexpectedly there.
They were all torn into countless pieces by Mo Zeming.
After drinking a few sips of the soup handed to him by the man, the silver-haired boy finally regained some of his strength. But the first sentence he spoke was not to ask Mo Chen to take him down the mountain, but to solemnly instruct him word for word:
"Go and prepare a ship for me immediately. This time you need a large enough sharp-bottomed ship to be ready to leave the port at any time."
When the man opposite heard this, he shook his head vigorously:
"Going to sea? What exactly is the little master planning to do? Look at your own body, you are already so weak, how can you go to sea?"
"Just do as I say. I know my own body well."
Mo Zeming just smiled at the other party, but did not continue to explain. I don't know whether it was because he was too weak, or because he had no intention of explaining from the beginning.
"No, you must explain such a big matter to me clearly today. The old master of the family has explained that fortune-telling is to spy on the secrets of heaven. If you don't do it well, you will hurt yourself. Even if you have to prepare a ship to go to sea, at least you can
You have to tell me where you are going, right? Otherwise, how would I know how much fresh water and food to prepare?"
Mo Chen seemed to be really anxious, his eyes were as wide as copper bells. The silver-haired boy also understood that the other party was really worried about him. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly explained the reason:
"Actually - I don't know what I figured out this time, so I can't explain it clearly to you at the moment. But do you still remember that I once said that talent is the biggest variable that will be encountered in fortune-telling?
That's what's going on right now, everything that was originally clear has gradually become foggy, as if the key people among them are still hesitating and haven't made the final decision."
When Mo Zeming said this, he couldn't help but paused, and then continued, "But I still calculated that if things develop in a bad direction, it will not only be Qi Ziyin and Sister Leng, but also you, me, and maybe the entire family.
There will be a catastrophe in Yunzhi City! Now that I have told you this, I have added a new variable to the star stream. So you must remember that you must never talk to a third person again.
This matter has arisen. Otherwise, even I would have difficulty in continuing to deduce the horoscope."
Mo Zeming's words caused the man in front of him to change his expression instantly. He had assisted two generations of Mo's family masters for more than thirty years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. But he knew very well that the young family master was absolutely not allowed to do so.
Maybe he was joking about his own body. From his previous words, he could clearly feel the urgency of the situation, and he immediately wanted to carry the other person on his back and walk down the mountain.
"I want to continue to deduce more. You don't have to worry about me for now. Arranging the ship's affairs properly is the top priority."
However, the silver-haired boy pushed away Mo Chen's hand that was holding him and staggered towards the depths of Luo Xing Pavilion again, still holding a handful of ivory chips in his hand.
At the same time, in the Palace of the King of Fu not far away from the mountain, Leng Jiayun, whose smell of alcohol had not completely dissipated, was walking alone in the long corridor quietly. Not far in front of her,
They are two people with strange movements.
After waking up from the dream, the woman, whose eyes were already red and swollen from crying, put on her coat and wanted to go to the courtyard to borrow some cool fresh air to sober up. However, before she could go out, she heard a rush of footsteps passing by the door.
There were two people in total. Judging from their silhouettes reflected on the paper, they seemed to be dressed as palace servants. Along with the sound of footsteps, Leng Jiayun also heard a few faint whispers. Although the voice was suppressed by the other party.
Although it was low, she still felt as if she had heard it somewhere. When she thought about it carefully, she immediately felt a chill on her back.
When the two people walked a little further, the Dongli woman immediately followed them out quietly. At this time, she could not conclude that the two people were the two Liusha campers from Ye State whom she met on the city wall three months ago.
Assassins. However, the two men looked around and were obviously not very familiar with the roads in the palace. They stopped from time to time and looked back to see if anyone was following them. Their behavior was quite suspicious.
Leng Jiayun's heartbeat accelerated, and even her breathing became rapid. She deliberately kept a distance of more than twenty steps from the other party, but this also greatly increased the difficulty of tracking. In addition, the alcohol was still lingering, so in the end she still
Lost the person.
"Damn, he ran pretty fast!"
The woman in purple guessed that the other party might have noticed her presence, and she felt a little annoyed and a little scared. Just when she was about to go back to her room to wait for Qi Ziyin to come back, she realized that she had already left the previous courtyard and broke into a
In a strange garden.
Hai Qiuyang had a special liking for various exquisite courtyards, so he built a total of eighty-one large and small gardens in the King's Palace of Fu. Although these gardens are connected to each other by scattered and unique pavilions,
But for those who are not familiar with it, it is simply a huge maze.
Leng Jiayun tried hard to remember where she came from. However, just as she was looking for a way to leave, she turned around and was blocked by a strong figure. The man stretched out one hand to cover her mouth and nose, and the other
One hand tightly held her waist. The woman suddenly panicked, but she couldn't break free.
"Miss Leng, why did you come to Hai's bedroom alone in the middle of the night?"
It wasn't until the other party spoke that Leng Jiayun finally recognized that the figure was actually Ye Guogong. After Hai Qiuyang let go of her hand, she immediately stopped struggling and bowed her knees timidly:
"My Lord, please forgive me, I just——"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Just now, Hai thought someone had broken into the palace, so he ordered people to turn off all the lights nearby."
Hearing what the other party said, the woman in purple could vaguely smell the faint burnt aroma left in the air after the candle flames were extinguished. After she recovered a little from the fright, she found that the justice of the state of Fu in front of her was poking his nose.
Sniffing hard at his side.
This move immediately made Leng Jiayun feel a little uncomfortable. She took a step away and bowed again:
"The Lord is aware that my daughter followed him here because she saw a suspicious person in the palace. Please also ask the Lord to summon the palace guards to investigate immediately to avoid any hidden dangers."
Hai Qiuyang laughed, and waved his hands to order all the servants to retreat:
"But the only person Hai saw just now was you, Miss Leng."
"Please don't joke, Lord. My daughter did see two suspicious palace servants just now. Perhaps they are the Ye Kingdom assassins I mentioned to you before!"
Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Leng Jiayun's tone couldn't help but become a little anxious. She was very sure that the figure she saw earlier was not a drunken hallucination, and tried her best to convince the other party.
Unexpectedly, the Duke of Fu in front of him actually took another step forward, reached out and picked up a strand of the woman's long hair that hung down to her waist, put it under the tip of his nose and took a few big sniffs:
"Is this a woman's body fragrance, Miss Leng, or is it the smell of alcohol that has not yet dissipated? It smells really good. Isn't it because you drank alcohol tonight that you came to Haimou late at night and wanted to
Relieve the loneliness in your heart?"
Seeing that the other party's words and deeds were full of frivolity, the woman in purple backed away again, trying to keep a certain distance from him: "My lord, please respect yourself, I am not a frivolous person."
"Miss Leng, don't get me wrong. It's cold outside. Why don't you go into the house with me and talk about the assassin in detail? Hai promises that no matter what your requirements are, they will be met."
Unexpectedly, Hai Qiuyang continued to press forward, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into the palace.
"What are you doing? Let go!"
Leng Jiayun was immediately startled and struggled hard. But the other party refused to listen to the advice at all. Instead, he opened his arms and hugged her. The lustful expression on his face was like a lion in heat:
"Miss Leng, women like you are not common in our country of Fu. Hai knows that you don't trust anyone now, but I can assure you that as long as you promise to stay in Liyue Palace and not leave, I will guarantee your absolute
Safety."
The Dongli woman had a strong personality and could not tolerate such humiliation. In desperation, she slapped her across the face:
"The Duke of Fu saved me and Ziyin in a time of crisis, and I am extremely grateful to you. I respect you as the king of a country, but if you continue to speak out loud, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Hai Qiuyang received a slap, and looked up and down at the woman in front of him with some surprise. At this time, Leng Jiayun only wore a thick cotton robe over her thin pajamas, and the front wasn't even buttoned carefully. Her fair neck and collarbones
Naked, with a hint of Dongli charm, it has already made the man opposite him salivate, and his animal lust is hard to quell.
As the richest ruler of the Fu Kingdom, Hai Qiuyang's biggest hobby in daily life is to have sex everywhere. Compared with the fireworks girls in brothels who are already well aware of this, he prefers those gentle and gentle women who refuse to welcome you.
A virtuous woman from a good family. Relying on her proud muscles and handsome appearance, he has always regarded conquering these women as the greatest pleasure in his life. Therefore, from the first day he met Leng Jiayun, he had already been interested in her.
, how could he let her go so easily at this time?
Sure enough, the man chuckled and immediately asked, "What is frivolity? I would like to ask Miss Leng, who sneaked into Haimou's bedroom alone and disheveled tonight?"
Leng Jiayun never expected that this dignified and hospitable leader of a country would actually be a shameless womanizer in private. However, she also knew that she had trespassed into the forbidden territory first, and was on the other side's territory.
The inconvenience broke out, so I had to be patient and continue to deal with it:
"My little girl said that breaking into the palace was really a misunderstanding. But if the king continues to be entangled in this matter, those two suspicious people will really run away!"
Hai Qiuyang was unwilling to let her go so easily: "In that case, I would like to ask Miss Leng to tell you what those two people look like in life and what are their characteristics? I will order someone to check them immediately."
"I, I just saw the other person wearing the attire of a palace servant, and one of them was relatively thin. But the two of them were obviously not familiar with the situation in the palace, and they were sneaky all the way——"
When the woman from Dongli was asked this question, she suddenly hesitated and didn't know how to answer. However, before she could finish speaking, the Duke of Fu had no patience to listen anymore:
"Hai Mou would like to ask Miss Leng, if those two people are indeed the Ye Kingdom assassins you mentioned, since they have already entered Hai Mou's palace, why did they disappear out of thin air without completing the assassination?"
"I don't know. But I'm sure I saw it right!"
"It's really ridiculous. There are no less than ten thousand people in my Le Yue Palace who match the description you just described. Even if I call them one by one for you to confront, how can Miss Leng be sure that she will recognize them?"
By now, Leng Jiayun knew that the other party was deliberately trying to embarrass her. She said nothing more, turned around and left. This time Hai Qiuyang did not chase him, but just stood there and said coldly:
"Miss Leng may not know yet, but the young master of Ye Kingdom came to ask for a visit to Hai today and asked me to prepare a big ship for you to go to sea. A mere sea ship is nothing, so I agreed."
Young Master Yin will host a banquet on the Lantern Festival. However, since you have received favors from others, you must find a way to repay them. You must understand this principle of life, right?"
The purple-clothed woman's shoulders shook imperceptibly, but she had to stop again. She didn't like to owe others anything, and she knew even more clearly that she was indeed protected by the other party, so that she could escape from Ye Guo's cavalry with her life.
But for a moment, it was hard for her to think clearly why Qi Ziyin suddenly wanted to leave, so she could only suppress her anger and said, "I should repay you for your great kindness."
Upon seeing this, Hai Qiuyang immediately regained his lewd smile, and then took advantage of the opportunity to threaten: "Since Miss Leng understands etiquette, she only needs to spend this spring night with Hai, whether it is a ship or money."
, materials, as long as you ask for it, I will satisfy it and will never stand in the way again!"
"Zi Yin, did he mention why he was in such a hurry to leave?"
Leng Jiayun asked, but did not move a step further. Faced with such a rude request, she could not agree, but she also knew that if she refused immediately, the ship that the young man had finally won would definitely be destroyed.
Lost like this.
Hai Qiuyang stepped forward and held the woman's slightly trembling shoulders:
"How could he tell me in detail why he wanted to leave? But if you think about it carefully, is it not worthwhile to use your own body in exchange for a method that allows that brat to leave safely? If it weren't for my country of Fu,
Help, even if he can go to sea today, he won’t be able to hold on for a few more days!”
As he spoke, Ye Guogong became more and more unrestrained, and slowly inserted his hand from the woman's collar, and placed his mouth and nose tightly on her delicate and white neck.
This time, the Dongli woman did not resist again. Although she was reluctant in her heart, she could only compromise. At this time, for her who was dependent on others and had no other choice, she seemed to have become a piece of fish on the chopping board, and she could only let it go.
But if this was the only way for Ziyin to leave this place safely, she had no choice but to make sacrifices - after all, she had promised her lover that she would take good care of the child!
However, just as Hai Qiuyang slowly took off Leng Jiayun's robe and was about to take her back to the palace to go to bed, a man dressed in white suddenly appeared behind them.
It turned out that Qi Ziyin could not find his companions after returning to the other courtyard, but he heard someone arguing in the night, so he followed the sound and looked for them. Unexpectedly, he saw a scene that he did not expect.
He shouted without hesitation and rushed forward. Before Hai Qiuyang could react, he hit the opponent's side hard. Duke Fu's face changed with pain on the spot, and he grinned and cursed angrily:
"You broke into the palace late at night and even took action against Fu Guoguo. Don't you want to live, little brat?"
Qi Ziyin refused to give in even a step: "If you dare to touch Sister Jia again, try it!"
"Young Master may have misunderstood. Miss Leng took the initiative to accompany me tonight!"
"Impossible! You fool, you must be using the incident on the ship as a threat! Let me tell you, we don't need your mercy. I will find a way to repay you for the kindness you have shown me over the past few months. But other than that,
There will be no more relations between you and me!"
The young man in white spoke righteously, and as soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Leng Jiayun up and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Hai Qiuyang refused to let them go. He heard a low drink from his mouth, and more than ten armed men arrived.
The toothless imperial guards came out in response, and instantly surrounded the two of them:
"For Mrs. Mo's sake, our country, Fu, treats you, a bereaved dog, like a distinguished guest, but this is how you repay me today?! Well, since you are so ignorant of etiquette, there is no need for Hai to talk to you.
What a shame! Come on, capture these two assassins who want to do evil and put them in jail!"
After receiving the order, the imperial guards immediately rushed forward and pushed the two of them to the ground, and tied them tightly. Qi Ziyin never expected that the Duke of Fu, who had entertained him so kindly a few days ago, would turn against him now.
Soon enough, he even slapped the name of assassin on himself and Sister Jia.
The young man immediately thought of asking Mo Zeming for help. However, the young head of the Mo family was still far away in Luo Xing Pavilion on the top of the mountain. Even if he shouted for help, there was no way he could hear him.
