When Ai Jingzhong waited in front of the Buddhist temple for Mo Wen to come back, it was already midnight. Ai Xiangye's face had turned blue from the cold, but the host master still looked normal. ..
"Which emperor did the Dragon Queen choose?" Mo Wen asked after seeing Ai Jingzhong.
Ai Jingzhong said respectfully, "It's the Fifth Prince."
"Li Lu?"
"yes."
Mo Wen walked into the Buddhist hall and said, "Go back and prepare. I will go to see His Majesty tomorrow morning."
"Yes," Ai Jingzhong responded quickly.
"Tomorrow Li Lu will be yours, Zhuque," Mo Wen said as his figure disappeared in front of the door of the Buddhist temple.
Mo Wen was no longer around, and Ai Jingzhong didn't dare to just turn around and leave. He bowed towards the half-open door of the Buddhist hall and said loudly, "I'm leaving." Only then did Prime Minister Ai retreat to the corridor and turn around to walk out of the courtyard.
In the inn, Jing Mo sat under the lamp, glanced at the long piece of paper in his hand, then looked up at the person standing in front of him.
The eunuch in plain clothes hurriedly said to Jing Mo, "The Queen has ordered me to tell the Emperor to come to the palace tomorrow."
Jing Mo looked down at the note again. There were only two words written on it: Li Lu.
The supervisor said, "Your Majesty, please write another letter to the Empress."
Jing Mo put the note into the lampshade, watched it burn to ashes, and then said: "There are guards outside this inn. I didn't expect that your martial arts are so good that you can hide from their eyes and climb over the wall to get in."
The prisoner whispered, "I'll learn martial arts in a few years."
"Well," Jing Mo looked at the prisoner and smiled, saying, "I've seen you a few times beside my aunt."
Jian lowered his head and said nothing. He had always been inconspicuous when he was around Empress Jing. He didn't expect that Emperor Jing actually knew him.
"Go back and tell my aunt," Jing Mo said, "Now Concubine Long and the others won't touch her and His Highness, so tell her not to be afraid."
The supervisor replied with a "yes", and then asked Jing Mo, "What about the Great Emperor?"
"I have my own arrangements here. Anyway, I will not sit idly by and watch Li Lu become the emperor," Jing Mo whispered, "Let my aunt close the door of the Queen's Palace and take care of His Highness without worrying about what's happening outside."
"I have taken note of the emperor's words," the eunuch said, "and I will take my leave."
The eunuch was about to leave, but Jing Mo waved him forward and whispered, "Find a way to spread the news of Li Lu's arrest throughout the palace overnight. Remember, he stole this position from Li Ning."
The supervisor was shocked.
"Remember what I said?" Jing Mo asked.
The supervisor glanced at Jing Mo, and the corners of Jing Da Huang's mouth slightly raised, as if he was smiling. The supervisor lowered his head and said, "The servant will remember it."
Putting two gold ingots into the prisoner's hands, Jing Mo waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, be careful."
The supervisor knelt down, kowtowed to Jing Mo, and then walked out.
Sitting alone in the room, Jing Mo's face was gloomy. Even if Gu Xinglang couldn't mobilize troops from the southwest camp and he couldn't help Li Luo become emperor, he would not let the people of the Long family have an easy life.
"Master," a guard standing outside the window whispered to Jing Mo, "Long Fangyan went to the White Horse Temple."
"He's alone?"
"yes."
"knew."
There were slight sounds of footsteps outside the window, and then only the sound of wind and snow remained.
Jing Mo leaned back in the chair, stretched out his hand to half-open the window, looked up at the flying snow outside the window, sneered, and then let out another long sigh. If he didn't destroy the Eternal Life Temple, he would not be able to become the emperor of Zhuri.
"Why are you sighing?" A voice suddenly came from outside the window and asked Jing Mo.
The sudden voice startled Jing Mo, and he subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist. After seeing the person lying on the windowsill, Jing Mo relaxed and called out to the person, "Princess."
Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hand at Jing Mo.
Jing Mo leaned towards the window and looked at Yu Xiao: "Isn't it cold outside? Come in and talk."
"It's not cold," Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head, and after thinking about it, she added, "I'm not afraid of the cold."
Jing Mo got up and walked to the bed, took out his own white fox fur coat, and when he turned back to the window, he saw Yu Xiaoxiao reaching out to eat the peach cake on the coffee table. Jing Mo smiled and shook his head, walked back to the window, and raised his hand to put the thick coat on Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao took a bite of the peach pastry, and her cheeks immediately puffed up.
Jing Mo didn't sit down either. He leaned against the window and asked Yu Xiaoxiao, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I just went to see Li Luo," Yu Xiao said, "If he has a fever again tomorrow, I will have to give him an injection."
Jing Mo asked: "Will Li Luo's body recover?"
"Yes," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Jing Mo poured a glass of water for Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate and drank the cup of hot tea in two gulps.
Jing Mo immediately took another piece of peach cake and put it to Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth.
Yu Xiaoxiao took a bite from Jing Mo's hand and said to him, "This is delicious."
Jing Mo smiled softly and said, "I heard Qinghui call you Xiaoxiao, is this the princess's nickname?"
Yu Xiaoxiao said indifferently: "If you don't want to call me princess, just call me Xiaoxiao."
Jing Mo smiled and said, "Can I call you Xiao Xiao, too?"
Yu Xiaoxiao took another bite of the peach cake into Jing Mo's mouth. When she heard Jing Mo's question, she looked up at Jing Mo. After seeing the expression on Jing Mo's face, Her Royal Highness the Princess choked on the peach cake.
Jing Mo saw Yu Xiaoxiao stretching her neck and patting her chest, and asked hurriedly, "Did you choke?"
Yu Xiaoxiao swallowed hard and swallowed the peach cake that she hadn't even chewed yet.
Jing Mo leaned over and wanted to pat Yu Xiaoxiao on the back.
"Well," Yu Xiaoxiao moved to the side, stopped lying on the windowsill, stood up straight and said to Jing Mo, "I'm going back to sleep."
Jing Mo withdrew his hand and said, "Don't you want to eat peach cake?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Jing Mo's face again and found that his expression had returned to normal. This made Yu Xiaoxiao suspect that the Jing Mo who had smiled so gently just now was just an illusion.
"Take it back and eat it," Jing Mo handed the snack box to Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao took the snack box in her hand, tilted her head and looked at Jing Mo again, and said, "Your smile just now was very nice."
Jing Mo said: "Really? Do you like it?"
"I like my little Gu's smile," Yu Xiao said, "I don't know where he is with Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Wei now. It's snowing so heavily now. Do you think my little Gu will be cold?"
Jing Mo looked at the snow outside the window and didn't speak for a long time.
Yu Xiaoxiao also turned her head to look at Xue and waited for Jing Mo for a while. Before Jing Mo spoke, she said, "Then I'll leave."
"Xiaoxiao," Jing Mo called Yu Xiaoxiao when he saw her about to leave.
"Go to sleep quickly," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Jing Mo while holding the snack box, "What's the point of you smiling so seductively at me? Leave it to your future wife. In this world, we must have moral integrity."
