Chapter 341 Abnormal
Xie Jingmo raised his head in the dim candlelight.
A pair of dark eyes were dark and gloomy.
Xie Jingmo placed his hands on his knees, tightening and loosening them, loosening and tightening them again.
Mu Chengyan had a look of planning, he knew what choice Xie Jingmo would make.
He is waiting.
Wait until he says he gives up.
I don't know how long it took,
There was no more noise on the street outside, and everything was silent.
Only the sound of the wind remained.
Mu Cheng saw Xie Jingmo finally slowly release his hand on his knee, "Take good care of her, otherwise, I will never let you go even if I die!"
Xie Jingmo said with gritted teeth.
After saying these words, Xie Jingmo's back, which had been straight for a long time, seemed to bend slightly uncontrollably.
Finally, he stood up under Mu Chengyan's teasing gaze.
Mu Chengyan laughed, "You know what? Every time I go to Yun Zhao's place, Fu Hai looks at me with both eyes and nose. He thinks I'm not worthy of Yun Zhao."
"Because Fu Hai felt that I had given up on Yun Zhao. Someone who has given up on their lover doesn't deserve love anymore."
"Xie Jingmo, you always thought you had never given up on Yun Zhao. You thought you were better than me in this respect, but what about now? Didn't you give up on her too? There's no difference between you and me. Do you think Yun Zhao will forgive you?"
Mu Chengyan laughed crazily.
He was very proud.
He felt that there was no difference between him and Xie Jingmo.
He can be confident in front of Yun Zhao, Deputy General Gao, Fu Hai, and Xie Jingmo!
Mu Chengyan smiled as he watched Xie Jingmo leave, and laughed out loud.
Deputy General Gao sat at the door of Mu Chengyan waiting for Xie Jingmo to come out.
Mu Chengyan's wild laughter could be heard from afar. It was very quiet at night and the laughter was piercing to the ears.
Deputy General Gao stood up and asked Xie Jingmo, "What's going on?"
Xie Jingmo walked out.
Deputy General Gao pulled him and put his hand on Xie Jingmo's wrist. Xie Jingmo reacted strongly to the stress and pushed him away in an instant.
Deputy General Gao was stunned.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xie Jingmo put down his hand, his eyes cold, "It's okay."
Deputy General Gao didn't want to dwell on this matter. He pointed to Mu Chengyan and asked, "What is he laughing at? And what did you guys just say in there? What do you mean?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Why did you tell Mu Chengyan to take good care of Yun Zhao? Why didn't you take care of him yourself?"
Xie Jingmo's eyes were filled with anger. He walked towards his general's residence. "Nothing much, just chatting. It's not a big deal for men to brag between each other."
How could Vice General Gao believe it?
"You never talk like that."
"I never brag about Yun Zhao."
"Back then, someone in the frontier army said something gossipy about Yun Zhao, and you almost beat him to death with a military stick! Xie Jingmo, we are brothers. Tell me, what happened?"
Xie Jingmo said patiently, "I said, it's okay, I was just joking. You know, I have always hated Mu Chengyan."
Deputy General Gao stared at Xie Jingmo's profile.
"Are you really okay?"
Xie Jingmo stood up straight and spread out his hands, "Look, what do I need?"
Deputy General Gao looked Xie Jingmo up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment on the wrist that had just been shaken off from him.
It seems that there is nothing unusual.
"What are you doing out here?" Xie Jingmo walked towards his own residence. "Don't come to me for things that happen in the palace."
Deputy General Gao followed him in and said, "Aren't I worried about you? You haven't been to the palace recently, and Mu Chengyan went to the palace today, looking like he was ready to reconcile with Yun Zhao. Aren't you worried?"
Xie Jingmo's eyes darkened.
When Deputy General Gao saw this, he knew that Xie Jingmo cared about it.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yun Zhao said that the current situation is tense. You are an important person, so he asked you to be careful and let me protect you."
Xie Jingmo didn't say much, just nodded and went back to his room.
Deputy General Gao stared at Xie Jingmo's back and narrowed his eyes.
He turned around and grabbed someone, asking, "General, has anything unusual happened recently?"
The servant shook his head, "No."
Deputy General Gao let go of the man's hand and pursed his lips.
Afterwards, he asked the rest of the people in the mansion, including the housekeeper, but they all said no.
Deputy General Gao didn't believe it.
Yun Zhaodu noticed something unusual. He had followed Xie Jingmo at the frontier for so long. When the empress dowager threatened him, Xie Jingmo only made a deal with Lincheng and never said he would give up.
The situation is very good now.
Is it possible that Xie Jingmo would give up?
But Deputy General Gao really couldn't find what went wrong.
He returned to the palace overnight.
Yun Zhao was reading a book with his head propped up, bored, when Deputy General Gao came over, panting.
Fu Hai brought him a bowl of water and said, "Oh my God, what's going on? What happened?"
Yun Zhao frowned and looked at him, "Did something happen to Xie Jingmo?"
Deputy General Gao nodded vigorously, "Yes! I think something happened!"
Fu Hai stamped his feet anxiously. "If something happened, it happened. If nothing happened, it didn't happen. What do you think?"
Fu Hai glanced at Yun Zhao, then turned to Deputy General Gao and said, "General Xie is now concerned about the future succession issue. You must explain it clearly and don't let the Queen Mother worry!"
Deputy General Gao quickly swallowed the water in his mouth, and then quickly recounted everything that had happened that evening.
"I feel like it's a little abnormal."
"But I can't tell what's wrong."
Deputy General Gao looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Yun Zhao, what do you think?"
Yun Zhao also felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it right away, so she said to Deputy General Gao, "Go to Xie Jingmo first. Ask him to come see me tomorrow after he leaves court."
Deputy General Gao nodded, took a big gulp of water and left again.
The next day.
Xie Jingmo came out of the room. Deputy General Gao stood up and was about to tell Xie Jingmo what Yun Zhao had instructed him to do.
Xie Jingmo's face turned pale, and Deputy General Gao frowned. "Didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look so bad?"
Xie Jingmo glanced at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Deputy General Gao said, "The Queen Mother said that you should go find her after leaving the court."
At times like this in the past, Xie Jingmo must have been very happy, with his eyes wide open, like a child who had gotten candy.
But on this day, he just nodded and said, "I'll go over when I have time."
Deputy General Gao was shocked.
He looked at Xie Jingmo, "What do you mean?"
"The Queen Mother summoned you. Will you come over when you have time?"
"Xie Jingmo, are you sick again?"
"Yun Zhao has been treating you better lately, so you started to act up again, right?"
Xie Jingmo sat down at the table speechlessly, "Nervous."
"Then tell me, what's your situation?"
Xie Jingmo said, "The Spring Examination is about to begin, and there are so many things to do. I have to deal with them all before I can report to Yun Zhao. Isn't that right?"
In terms of eloquence, Deputy General Gao is no match for Xie Jingmo at all.
After Xie Jingmo said this, Deputy General Gao thought about it.
"That's right, then you should take care of your business and go there early."
Xie Jingmo took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "Hmm."
