Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 236 Calling with Ulterior Purposes

Within two days, the Empress Dowager's order of reward was issued to Mo Li's other courtyard.

Because Mo Li was playing the piano and Baili Jiuge was listening to the piano, Wen Yang went to receive the order on his own initiative. After receiving the order, he scolded the nuns who came to deliver the order behind his back, and waited for Mo Li to sing a song. After finishing playing the song, he gave the will to Mo Li.

Beside Yaoqin, Baili Jiuge lay lazily on the piano table, rubbing his belly with one hand, raised his eyes and asked with a smile: "What is the purpose?"

Mo Li looked at it calmly, and smiled: "It's nothing serious, Jiu Ge, you wait for me here first, I will go to the study to write a reply letter, and let Yufeng take it to the palace."

"Oh, good." Seeing Mo Li's understatement, Baili Jiuge couldn't see anything unusual, so he didn't take it seriously.

Wen Yang has a keen mind, so he stayed in the piano room deliberately for fear of being betrayed, chatting and laughing with Baili Jiuge.

On that side, Mo Li went to the study, and there was a clear and strange light in his indifferent eyes.His expression was serious. He spread the paper, picked up the pen, and wrote the next four words without hesitation.

- No compromises.

After finishing writing, he folded the paper and handed it to Yufeng, and then returned to the piano room again, with a gentle smile on his face, pampered very much, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Baili Jiuge originally wanted to ask, but after all, he felt that he was overthinking, so he didn't ask, and continued to listen to the piano happily.

That night, Mo Li coaxed Baili Jiuge to sleep first. He put on a crane cloak and walked slowly into the garden.Before the layers of water, I learned from Yufengkou that the queen mother became very angry and said that no matter how Mo Li was, she would definitely send the five women here.

After Yufeng finished his report, he added coldly: "You don't need His Royal Highness to bother you about such trivial matters, just go down and arrange them."

"Well, it's over to you."

Mo Li really didn't want to bother, knowing that Yufeng could handle it with full authority.It's just that if there is a first time, there will be a second time.He knew in his heart that unless he could change the Queen Mother's grandmother's mind and make her completely change her view of Jiu Ge, otherwise, there would be no end to this kind of stuff.

Going back to the room silently, Mo Li lowered his footsteps, looking at Baili Jiuge's sweet sleeping face, his heart suddenly felt warm as if countless lamps were lit.

He smiled, came to the bed, kissed Baili Jiuge's forehead, and hugged her to sleep.

The next day, the palace really sent five beautiful girls from innocent families.The Queen Mother told them both kindly and prettily, what to do and what not to do, as long as they are done well, she will definitely reward them generously.

But what the Empress Dowager never expected was that the carriage that these women were riding in disappeared shortly after leaving the city. Yu Feng, who was in charge of welcoming the women, quickly reported the matter back to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager immediately dispatched people to search for people with Yufeng. Finally, the wreckage of the carriage was found in a forest. The five women and the coachman were missing. The scene was very messy, with torn clothes and bloodstains.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was very angry. How could she have thought that the civilian girl she had worked so hard to find was actually intercepted and killed by gangsters, and even the driver's life and death were uncertain.The queen mother had no choice but to start sending pensions to the families of those folk girls.

The matter of rewarding Mo Li with a beauty just ended because of this accident.

Mo Li knew how Yufeng handled it, that is, intercepted the carriage, faked the scene of the gangster's attack, and then sent the driver and the girl to another place first, and after a while, he would give them a large sum of money , let them go home.

And all of this was staged and ended without Baili Jiuge's knowledge.

After a few more peaceful days in the other courtyard, a nanny from Yannian Hall came and said that the Empress Dowager was bored, and invited Mo Li to drink tea with her.

Because only Mo Li was invited, Baili Jiuge stayed in the other courtyard to raise the baby.In my heart, I always had some awkward feelings towards the Queen Mother. When Baili Jiuge was sending Mo Li to the carriage, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. For some reason, he felt a little ominous.

She hurriedly stopped Yufeng who was driving the carriage, walked quickly to the side of the carriage, and said to Mo Li who opened the curtain to look at her, "Go early and come back early, you must be careful."

Mo Li smiled softly, "Okay." Then he comforted: "Don't worry, she is my grandmother."

"I know, but..."

"Don't worry, don't you still trust me?"

Baili Jiuge was startled, of course she trusted Mo Li and trusted him wholeheartedly, but she knew that the queen mother was also for Mo Li's good, no matter what the queen mother wanted to do, it couldn't be considered wrong.

"Silly Jiuge, go back and rest." Mo Li's eyes were as soft as falling flowers, and he reached out and rubbed between Baili Jiuge's brows, "Go quickly."

Baili Jiuge could only nod his head, watching Mo Li close the curtain Yin Yin.

The snow satin carriage painted with epiphyllum, set off, and gradually moved away until it disappeared from her sight.Her whole heart was on Mo Li's body, up and down...

The Empress Dowager's Yannian Hall is full of thick agarwood inside and out.The mouth of the phoenix head censer was smoking, surrounded by clouds and mist, and looked a little sluggish under the floating light.

Mo Li was led by a maidservant in the palace, and he walked slowly until he came to the front of the palace courtyard, looking calmly at the stacked tile houses.

Ahead is the gate of the courtyard, and Mo Li was about to step into the courtyard when a woman wearing a water-blue makeup dress and a flying moon bun just happened to come out of the courtyard.

After seeing each other, Mo Li gave a gentle and thoughtful salute, "Miss Li."

"Hello, Your Highness." Li Yuheng smiled lively, holding the white jade gui in his hand, and the fourteen golden characters on the gui's face were facing Mo Li.

She smiled: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you in the garden with a beautiful girl who I want to introduce to you."

Under the moon-like eyes, there was a flash of sharpness, and Mo Li smiled lightly: "I'll go here."

"Okay, I'll take my leave." Li Yuheng left after speaking.

When the two passed by, Mo Li heard clearly, and Li Yuheng whispered two words in his ear: "Be careful."

Mo Li's heart trembled slightly, he hid it very well, as if he had never heard of it, he continued to follow the maidservant into the courtyard.

In the garden at the back of Yannian Palace, there are a lot of flowers.Under the octagonal pavilion, I really saw the queen mother and a woman. They were sitting at the stone table, drinking tea, talking and laughing.There were three stools on the stone table, one of which was empty and was reserved for Mo Li.

The queen mother smiled happily: "Grandson, sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager and Grandmother." Mo Li clasped his hands, and slowly took his seat, the crane cloak descended gracefully, and thousands of epiphyllum bloomed lightly.

He held the teacup, slowly passed it to his lips, wanted to drink but didn't drink, suddenly raised his eyes, and took a light look at the young woman.I was a little surprised, but I didn't expect that this was Cai'er, the servant girl Mo Xun brought with me last time.

Because of Mo Li's sudden glance, Cai'er's heart sounded like a drum, she just felt that the person in front of her was unparalleled in every move, and her eyes were as deep and seductive as star pools, she was so fascinated by it, she couldn't move it away no matter what line of sight.

She thought of the last time when she was embraced by the Third Highness and went to enjoy flowers and tobacco in Concubine Ran's garden, and when she bumped into the First Concubine, the Third Highness was taken aback by seeing that the First Concubine ignored her, and pushed her out of her arms open.And what about His Royal Highness?But she treats the concubine as gentle and considerate...

Cai'er gritted her gums, thinking, she really followed the wrong person before.Now that His Highness the Third Prince has fallen, it just so happens that the Empress Dowager wants to give His Royal Highness a woman, how could she not seize this golden opportunity?Anyway, the folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, and it's okay for a woman to remarry. As long as she can successfully catch this man, she will leap over the dragon gate and become a noble concubine in the future.
