Lin Mo sat aside and ate cakes, and heard Cheng Yan's voice teaching An Jinyuan. From what they said, Lin Mo could probably know what kind of person the Prince Jing they had just met was.
He looks approachable, but in fact he is cold and indifferent. From what Cheng Yan said, it seems that Prince Jing has some ambitions.
Lin Mo twisted the cake with his fingers, thinking in his heart, can he assume that the Prince Jing is the person behind the Prime Minister? However, this is just Lin Mo's guess, and he dare not jump to conclusions now.
"What are you thinking about?"
After teaching his brother a lesson and letting him go back to the bedroom, Cheng Yan turned around to look for Lin Mo. He found that he was staring at something in a trance. Cheng Yan walked over, took the handkerchief from the palace maid, took away the crushed cakes in his hand, and carefully wiped his hands clean.
"No, are we going back?" Lin Mo came back to his senses and looked up at Cheng Yan.
"Well, let's go."
Lin Mo supported his hand and stood up. He tilted his head to look outside the palace. It was already getting dark outside. By the time they returned to the palace, it would be almost time for dinner.
Cheng Yan lowered his head to tie his cloak, and then they walked out of the palace. After getting on the carriage, Lin Mo thought about it and decided to ask Cheng Yan about Prince Jing. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable without an answer.
"Why do you suddenly want to ask about Prince Jing?" Cheng Yan asked puzzledly.
"I'm a little curious. A Yuan calls him the Emperor's Uncle, but he looks quite young..." Lin Mo said.
Prince Jing looks no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and Cheng Yan is now twenty years old, so the age difference between the uncle and nephew is quite small.
"Prince Jing is already thirty-five years old, not young." Cheng Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a flat tone.
"Really? I can't tell. He's been well maintained... Eh? No, I'm curious about Prince Jing. Why do you want to talk about his age?" Lin Mo reacted and asked puzzledly.
"You think Prince Jing looks young?"
"Yes, if Ayuan hadn't called him uncle, I would have thought he was your brother." Lin Mo nodded.
"He's very handsome?" Cheng Yan held Lin Mo in his arms and asked in a low voice.
"Ah? It's quite beautiful. Why are you asking these questions?" This wasn't what he asked about Prince Jing before, right?
Cheng Yan didn't say anything. He slightly increased the strength of the hand on his waist, pressed him against him, and lowered his head to kiss him.
Lin Mo's eyes widened in shock at his sudden action. What was going on? Why did Cheng Yan always kiss him suddenly regardless of time or occasion?
Cheng Yan let go of Lin Mo only after he was a little out of breath. Lin Mo lay in his arms and panted slightly, vaguely realizing that Cheng Yan was jealous just now, right?
Cheng Yan, whose mood had improved, patted Lin Mo's back to calm him down, and then began to tell him about Prince Jing.
Prince Jing is the uncle of Cheng Yan and his family. Cheng Yan's father was not trained as a crown prince at the beginning. On the contrary, Cheng Yan's father had a similar experience to An Chenglin, both of whom seized the throne by brutal means.
Prince Jing was the youngest son of the empress at the time, and Cheng Yan and his father was just a prince of a concubine. Everyone thought that Prince Jing would eventually ascend the throne as the emperor's favorite prince, even the crown prince at the time was not as good as him.
But no one expected that the young and strong emperor would suddenly fall ill and never get better. Prince Jing was still young at the time, and half of the people opposed Prince Jing's ascension to the throne.
Then, at that time, Cheng Yan and his father seized the throne in a lightning-fast manner. After ascending the throne, he began to eliminate his half-brothers who had bullied him before. What Cheng Yan and An Chenglin couldn't understand was that their father would actually let Prince Jing go.
"Prince Jing was still young at that time, but what about when he grew up? Didn't he have any idea of taking back the throne?" Lin Mo rested his head on Cheng Yan's legs and listened to him. When he saw him stop, he looked up at Cheng Yan and asked in a low voice.
Although there are some royal family members who are indifferent to the throne, they are a minority. As for Prince Jing, Lin Mo still can't tell what kind of person he is.
"I don't know, maybe there is." Cheng Yan said vaguely.
Even if there wasn't one before, there should be one now. A year ago, he was attacked and fell off a cliff on his way back to Beijing. Fortunately, a few of his shadow guards survived. After they escaped from the pursuit, all the shadow guards began to investigate secretly.
After Cheng Yan recovered his memory and returned to Beijing, the head of the shadow guards handed over the results of the investigation to Cheng Yan. What surprised him at the time was that there were actually people from Prince Jing among them.
If it was just the prime minister, Cheng Yan would not be surprised. Before his brother ascended the throne, he and his brother had already known about the prime minister's tricks behind the scenes.
Their father, the Emperor, had not been involved in state affairs for a few years after ascending the throne, and then the Prime Minister and Prince Jing began to quietly win over the people. Although it was not visible on the surface, secretly, the Prime Minister and Prince Jing had already established a solid foundation in the court.
However, before they could make any move, An Chenglin quietly seized the throne. With the support of the War God Prince who held the military power of Yu State and his grandfather, the General who defended the country, An Chenglin's throne was secure.
On the day An Chenglin ascended the throne, the God of War Prince Cheng Yan rushed back from the border. A few days later, the new emperor took advantage of the situation and carried out a major purge of the court, including the prime minister and Prince Jing's people. Most of them were also removed by him.
However, the two's foundations were too solid, and An Chenglin, as the newly enthroned emperor, did not dare to confront them openly.
Lin Mo guessed that if Prince Jing really wanted to take back the throne, he must be very resentful of the young emperor. He had planned everything, but in the end, his nephew got there first.
It is really unpleasant that both father and son took the throne from him. If it is more serious, perhaps Prince Jing will turn evil.
According to Cheng Yan, Prince Jing's apparent gentleness was actually just a disguise.
Cheng Yan was not in the imperial city for many years, and the words "stay away from Prince Jing" were also said by his brother at that time to him and A Yuan. Although Cheng Yan had doubts in his heart at that time, he did not doubt his brother's words. Anyway, he rarely stayed in the capital, so it didn't make any difference whether he was far away or not.
Now that he thinks about it, his brother should have known Prince Jing’s true identity earlier than him.
"Then tell me, is it possible for the Prime Minister and Prince Jing to join forces?" Lin Mo asked.
According to Lin Mo's guess, it is very likely that the Prime Minister and Prince Jing will join forces. In the previous life mentioned by his elder brother, the Prime Minister finally succeeded in his rebellion, but with the existence of Prince Jing, Lin Mo does not believe that the Prime Minister will eventually ascend to the throne.
The most likely scenario is that the two of them joined forces, and the Prime Minister helped Prince Jing seize the throne.
"It's not clear now. My brother is still investigating." Cheng Yan shook his head.
"Then tell me what you think. Haven't you ever guessed it?" Lin Mo asked unwillingly. If it was really what he thought, then all his doubts would be solved.
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Cheng Yan looked down at him. From Lin Mo's perspective, he always felt that Cheng Yan's eyes were a little sharp when he looked at him.
Lin Mo's heart stagnated. He turned his head and buried his face in his abdomen to hide the emotions on his face. "I'm just a little curious. If you can't say it, forget it." Lin Mo said in a muffled voice.
I almost forgot that this kind of thing can't be said casually. What Cheng Yan just told him about Prince Jing didn't involve anything. But whether Prince Jing and the Prime Minister joined forces, we can't make a hasty conclusion.
"Are you angry?" Cheng Yan heard something wrong in his voice, picked him up, hugged him, stared into his eyes and whispered.
"I'm not angry. I shouldn't have known these things. Why should I be angry?" Lin Mo shook his head but didn't look at him.
"Then tell me, what caused you to suddenly feel depressed just now?"
"...It was the way you looked at me just now that I thought you were angry that I asked you these questions." Lin Mo put his head on his shoulder, was silent for a long time, and said.
The moment Lin Mo saw this, his heart sank. Cheng Yan had always been very gentle to him before. Even after teaching someone a lesson, his eyes were still very gentle when he turned around and looked at him.
So when Lin Mo first saw Cheng Yan looking at him with cold eyes, he was shocked.
"What kind of look did I use just now?" Cheng Yan asked puzzledly. The way he looked at Momo had never changed, right?
"No, I guess I misread it."
"You really are... I will tell you whatever you want to know, why would I be angry with you? Just now I just wanted to know why you asked these questions, what are you thinking about now, Momo?" Cheng Yan hugged him tightly, saying helplessly.
He knew that boys were very sensitive, and Cheng Yan used to find such boys who got emotional all the time annoying. But now he felt that as long as they were someone he liked, no matter if they were depressed or secretly sad, they would be loved.
"Well, it won't be like this again." Lin Mo reached out and hugged him, rubbing his head gently.
Lin Mo knew that he was abnormal, but he was nice to strangers. After all, they were dispensable and Lin Mo didn't care.
But it was different for his family. In the past, if his brother and parents said something to him, Lin Mo would be sad, but he would forget it after a while. But now, if Cheng Yan suddenly gave him a cold look and didn't explain anything, Lin Mo would be obsessed with it for days.
Lin Mo nestled in Cheng Yan's arms, slightly closing his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes. Even if he got rid of that dirty body and started over again, Lin Mo knew that he couldn't really start over.
Unless he went to the underworld, drank Meng Po soup, and forgot his past, everything from his past life would always be with him and he couldn't get rid of it.
"Cheng Yan, what kind of person do you think I am?" Lin Mo asked.
"Um?"
"It's about your impression and evaluation of me." Lin Mo looked up at him and asked.
"Nice and gentle."
"That's all?"
“There’s really so much to say, because I always feel that you’re too mysterious, Momo. Once I get to know one side of you, it won’t be long before you always surprise me again.” Cheng Yan hugged him tightly and laughed softly.
"But the most obvious thing is that you care about your family and the people you approve of. Your heart is so sensitive that it makes people feel distressed. Although I don't know why you are like this when you live in an ordinary family. But I still want to say that in my eyes, you are the best in the world."
Before Cheng Yan married Lin Mo, every time he saw him, he always felt that Lin Mo was out of tune with this world. This world rejected him, and he was also rejecting this world. Perhaps this is why Cheng Yan couldn't help but pay attention to Lin Mo and then fell in love with him.
"Really? What if I am different from what you think?" Lin Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly. He was so perceptive that he was discovered.
But, the best in the world? Maybe after you know everything about me, you won't think so... But, I won't let you know, because I won't give you the chance to leave me.
Those things that cannot see the light, let them rot in my heart.
"Even if it's different, it's still you, still the Momo I like."
It's different, I just don't know you well enough. One day, I will let you let go of the knot in your heart and be honest with me. Cheng Yan gently stroked his long hair, thinking to himself.
