141. Shock(1/2)
"The little girl's mother is in a bad mood recently because her son is away and she is worried and worried.
To be honest, I envy Mu Yuancheng very much.
But I can, too.
As long as I can survive and be with the little girl, her mother will naturally be my mother.
But I don’t like that father-in-law very much. I always feel that he is a little hypocritical and is not worthy of my mother-in-law.
I hope my brother-in-law Mu Yuancheng will return safely. As for my father-in-law, he will do whatever he wants."
Su Mo put down his pen and looked at the cold moonlight outside the window. His blood-colored face was almost transparent, but his eyes became more and more peaceful.
Not as cold as before, but with a little warmth.
He thought he could understand Rong Lan because he was worried about someone in his heart, and he also understood. Recently, he often wondered, if he left the world, would his soul float in the sky and could continue to look at Yuan Qiu. It is said that there is a spirit in the sky, will there really be a spirit?
Su Mo hoped that there was. He came to the world and had just found the meaning of life. The frozen lake of heart melted by warmth. He was unwilling to give up and was reluctant to leave like this.
He was originally a person who was born without pain, but now whenever he thought that he might be scattered before the first snow this winter, he felt a faint feeling of pain in his heart.
He wanted to live, and wanted to watch the spring flowers and moons, summer rain and winter snow with Yuanqiu, and do things between husband and wife. He wanted to see her with his own eyes, become a real miracle doctor, and want to have children, preferably a son and a daughter, and watch them grow up. He wanted to call Rong Lan a mother, so he might also try it, act coquettishly in front of his mother like Lin Anshun. He didn't feel embarrassed, that was his deep desire...
Dark clouds covered the moon, and two black shadows flashed by, pulling back Su Mo's thoughts.
"Master!" Qingfeng and Qingyun who had been out for many days have returned.
The two of them were dusty and both were a little thin, but they were still energetic.
"How?" Su Mo asked with a faint expression.
"That person refused to come to Wan'an City with us!" Qing Feng said with a frown.
The next moment, Qingyun smiled, "But she owed her master the kindness and did not refuse. She just said that she would come by herself and would arrive soon."
Su Mo nodded gently, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Qingfeng and Qingyun both felt that Su Mo was different from before. They couldn't say what was different in detail, as if they were not that cold?
The two of them had just returned, and they didn't know what happened during that period of time left. Su Mo didn't say much to them, just told them to rest.
Qingfeng and Qingyun first returned to the Nan'an Palace. They were told by Lao Zhou, who was guarding the door that Su Mo and Yuanqiu moved to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion before they came here.
Lao Zhou didn't say much, but the two were surprised that Su Mo would live in Mu's family.
Now the two of them returned to the Nan'an Palace and called Qingting. After listening to Qingting's story, they realized that so many things had happened during this period.
"Where is Xie Jingci?" Qingyun asked.
"It's in the house!" Qingting said indifferently, "I really don't want to serve that bad guy when I get this broken errand! He is mentally ill and wants to steal the princess from his master. As a result, he is scolded by the princess so much that he almost vomits blood, haha!"
"There is no one else except you," said Qingyun.
Qingting rushed over immediately and found that Xie Jingci was missing, and he was still there during dinner.
There was no trace of fighting in the room. There was a piece of paper on the table with a line of scribbled words on it, "Su Mo, when you die, I will come back to burn incense for you, hahahaha!"
Obviously, Xie Jingci ran away by himself, but he did not mention Yuan Qiu again, which surprised Qingting. It seemed that it was the last time he met, Yuan Qiu had already explained the words to Xie Jingci clearly, which made him give up.
It happened that at this time, Hongxiao's madam Hongxiao, who was from Hongxiao Pavilion, sent someone to spread the news, and Xie Jingci lived in Hongxiao Pavilion again.
Qingting cursed angrily, "That dog can't change the bad guy who eats shit!"
Qingyun's expression was faint, "If he did not harm the good woman and only did business with brothels, it would be very easy to say. Everyone should take what he needed. If he could do this for the rest of his life, he would be considered free and easy."
"Just a bad person! A pervert!" Qingting snorted coldly.
"I won't mention him anymore. Is the master really falling in love with the princess?" Qingyun asked.
"Of course, otherwise, with the master's personality, I would have to wait to die!" Qingting said.
Qingfeng looked relieved, "That's great! The master finally got to know him. The princess is very good, I like it too!"
Qingyun and Qingting pulled Qingfeng and beat him up...
Someone has already done the work of finding medicinal materials. Afu followed Su Mo and Qinglei also worked as a secret guard for Yuan Qiu at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"I will ask my master for advice tomorrow to see what we can do!" Qingfeng said.
As soon as dawn was dawn, the city gates were open, and one person rushed in, shouting, "Eight hundred miles to hurry up, get out of here!" and rushed towards the direction of the palace.
The people I saw changed their expressions and sent a war report, which means something happened!
In the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Yuan Qiu got up early and went for morning exercises with Rong Lan. The mother and daughter ran along the martial arts field in the wet fog in the morning. Rong Lan slept well last night, but she didn't know that Yuan Qiu put a little calming medicine in the water she drank before going to bed.
After morning exercise, Yuan Qiu made breakfast by himself. Now the family of four is sitting together, which is very warm.
After breakfast, Lin Anshun went to class, and Yuan Qiu changed into men's clothing and wanted to go to the clinic.
Originally, the plan was to go down every day, but Jiang Wei's reputation was soon revealed. More and more patients came to him. He was too busy. Some of them were after Yuan Qiu's visit. She was in the clinic no matter the morning and afternoon, and she was at the clinic when she had time.
However, before Yuan Qiu left, he saw a team of soldiers coming towards the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.
Realizing something was wrong, Yuan Qiu immediately turned back and told Rong Lan.
The person who came was the imperial guards in the palace. The leader was once Mu Zhenxuan's subordinate. He was very polite to Rong Lan and did not say anything. He only said that the emperor ordered Rong Lan to come to the palace to meet immediately. At the same time, the person who was asked to enter the palace was also called on Su Mo.
"I'll go with you." Yuan Qiu frowned. What's going on? Jun Zhaolin wants to see Rong Lan and Su Mo?
The commander of the Imperial Guard said respectfully, "The Princess of Nan'an is not among the emperor's summons. Mrs. Mu cannot delay it. Please ask the Prince of Nan'an to come out!"
"Qiu'er, go and call Su Mo over." Rong Lan's expression was calm.
When Yuan Qiu met Su Mo, he was sweeping the floor in Jingqiu courtyard. He was thinner than when he first met him.
"Su Mo." Yuan Qiu stood at the gate of the courtyard and called his name.
Su Mo looked back and showed a shallow smile on his face, "Why are you back?"
"The emperor wants to see you and order you to enter the palace immediately." Yuan Qiu said.
Sumo put the broom aside and walked over, "Okay."
"With my mother, I don't know what happened. Be careful and never talk nonsense." Yuan Qiu frowned.
Su Mo's eyes were slightly warm, "Well, I know." But he was also very confused and didn't know what happened. Jun Zhaolin used to be quite polite to him, although it was just superficial skill, and there were very few sudden summons like this, and why did he be with Rong Lan?
Yuanqiu and Su Mo went outside the gate together, Rong Lan and Su Mo got on the carriage and went to the palace under the escort of the imperial guards.
Yuan Qiu didn't plan to go to the clinic again today, so he asked Hongling to go over and talk to Jiang Wei, and then stay there to help.
Afu returned to the Nan'an Palace early in the morning to meet Qingfeng Qingyun and the others. He also picked a lot of fresh vegetables, caught a fish, and then went to the fruit forest to pick a basket of apricots. He happily ran back, only to know that Su Mo had entered the palace.
Ah Fu also felt something was wrong, but he still comforted Yuan Qiu, "Don't worry, princess, the master will not be in trouble."
Yuan Qiu said quietly, "I am worried about my mother."
Ah Fu:...
However, it is not realistic to sneak into the palace to inquire. No matter how powerful a master is, he does not have stealth skills.
Yuan Qiu changed back to women's clothing and waited at home. Ah Fu ran out and quickly brought back a message. In the morning, the eight hundred miles of emergency battle reported to the palace.
Yuan Qiu felt something was wrong.
Rong Lan was summoned, which seemed to be related to the expedited war report. Could it be that the people of Western Liao suddenly repent that the war started on the northwest border? But why did they meet Su Mo at this time? And so many imperial guards came, as if they were afraid that someone would run away...
"Princess, could it be that Dongming and Xiliao fought? What did the emperor want to see my master?" Ah Fu was also confused.
Yuan Qiu's heart sank, "When I see Su Mo, it must be related to Nanzhao!"
A Fu frowned, "What's wrong with those scumbags in Nanzhao?"
Yuan Qiu didn't say anything, and he guessed something in his heart, but he was not sure.
Rong Lan and Su Mo met Jun Zhaolin in the imperial study. He was usually gentle and love to laugh, but his face looked ugly today.
Rong Lan knelt down and saluted, while Su Mo only bowed.
"Mrs. Mu doesn't have to be too polite! Come and take down the sixth prince of Nanzhao!" Jun Zhaolin said coldly.
Rong Lan's face changed and he saw several guards rushing up and grab Su Mo!
"Your Majesty, I wonder what happened?" Rong Lan asked respectfully.
Jun Zhaolin threw a note in front of Rong Lan, "You can read it yourself!"
Rong Lan picked it up and opened it. It was a war report sent by the south. The Nanzhao Kingdom, which had been peaceful and friendly with Dongming for many years, suddenly sent troops to Dongming on July 15 without warning!
Rong Lan's eyes condensed! Although Nanzhao's national strength is weak, that's relatively speaking! Dongming has been restrained by Western Liao in recent years, and its main forces are stationed in the northwest. The defense of the southern border is far inferior to that of the northwest. This is also the reason why Jun Zhaolin has always maintained an allied relationship with Nanzhao. The east and west are like water and fire. If Nanzhao stabs Dongming in the back, the consequences will be very serious!
Otherwise, Jun Zhaolin would not have asked Nanzhao to send a prince as a proton after his defeat.
In fact, at first, Jun Zhaolin was not satisfied with Su Mo's proton, because everyone knew that he was not Su Zhen's biological son, but his nephew. But at that time, Jun Zhaolin did not dare to force Nanzhao too much, because Western Liao had been eyeing him, and if Nanzhao was pushed to Western Liao, it would not be worth the loss.
Although the Dongming Kingdom has become the strongest among the Three Kingdoms in recent years, the national strength of the Three Kingdoms is actually not too great. The war between the East and West has given Nanzhao the opportunity to grow stronger.
Jun Zhaolin gave Su Mo a marriage this year, not a temporary intention, but was more about testing Nanzhao's attitude and preventing the Western Liao from forming an alliance with Nanzhao. The Emperor of Nanzhao sent his own son and brought generous betrothal gifts, which made Jun Zhaolin very satisfied. He thought that the relationship between the two countries' ally was further consolidated and also sent a message to Western Liao that the two Southeast countries were in the same direction.
But unexpectedly, Nanzhao took the initiative to launch a war! Now it seems that the marriage between Su Mo and Yuanqiu and the attitude of Nanzhao Kingdom were deliberately confusing Dongming Kingdom!
Rong Lan looked at the fifteenth day of July on the note and thought of not only the Nanzhao sending troops. This day was originally the day when the Western Liao Dynasty decided to trade with Dongming, and the Nanzhao Kingdom did not dare to break up with Dongming alone, unless it had secretly formed an alliance with the Western Liao Dynasty!
Then, the northwest border must have started fighting at this time!
