Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 408

In the middle of the night, the entire capital was immersed in silence.The summer night is still cool, and the coldness flows into the room through the gaps in the window edges, and the hibiscus curtain is gently blown.

Gu Lian woke up because of the coldness, her face still had a charming blush.She moved her body slightly, the feeling of soreness and discomfort reminded her of what happened tonight, the redness on her face deepened, but her heart was calm.

She had indeed resigned to her fate, and her fate was ultimately tied to Mo Yi.Cooking raw rice and cooked rice, Gu Lian had no way out, nor did he want to regret or blame others.

She remembered what Mo Yi had said in her ear when Ling Ling had just passed away.

"Lian'er, don't sleep yet. There are some things. I'll tell you now. Remember... I've secretly changed the construction plan of the palace. The fire near the fire spring led to the underground of the palace. One day in the future, you will pour oil there to completely burn down the palace..."

Gu Lian did not expect that Mo Yi would let her burn down the palace.That is the place where the father will retire in the future. Why did Mo Yi do this?
What surprised Gu Lian even more was that this overlapped with her nightmare.In the dream, the entire palace was burning in a raging sea of ​​flames. Gu Lian remembered that the fire in the dream was set by herself, in order to burn Mo Yi and the masked man to death in the palace...

Gu Lian couldn't help shaking, she was afraid.This slight movement startled Mo Yi, he woke up and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Lian was startled again, only then did he know that Mo Yi is usually very defensive, and he can't sleep well at night, and wakes up easily.Thinking like this, it's not very comfortable, looking into Mo Yi's eyes, and thinking about the ups and downs of the two just now, Gu Lian dared not look at Mo Yi, and said in a low voice, "Brother, why did you let me burn down the palace?"

"Make a break with the person behind the scenes."

"The person behind the scenes?" Gu Lian asked, "Besides the masked man, is there anyone else doing the trick?"

"Yeah, I'm sure there is. Otherwise, how do you think the masked man can appear in Linhua Palace grandly, and walk out swaggeringly after killing Ah Heng? And the queen mother sent you away, died violently, Si Long Putting a curse on Mo Li and Si Long's death are all problems."

"Then who is he?" Gu Lian suddenly felt that Mo Yi seemed to know the answer at all.

But Mo Yi didn't answer, he found Gu Lian's hand under the quilt, and pulled her over to hold her in his arms.Because Mo Yi's heart was still wounded, he let Gu Lian rest on his chest on the right side, and stroked her smooth back.

Gu Lian trembled uncomfortably, but did not run away.She found that she didn't seem to reject this kind of intimacy. Even her feelings for Mo Yi were too complicated to explain. Although she didn't like him, there was also an element of dependence.

"Brother, do you remember that I once had a nightmare? You asked me at that time, but I dare not tell."

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed of a palace in flames..."

Mo Yi's eyes narrowed.

Gu Lian said: "I dreamed that I burned down the palace with my own hands. In the main hall, I saw you kill the masked man. Then I..." Gu Lian dared not continue.

"Lian'er, what are you afraid of?" Gu Lian couldn't hide his thoughts in front of Mo Yi.

She asked with difficulty: "If I point a sword at you in the future and say I want to kill you..."

"How could it be?" Mo Yi interrupted Gu Lian's words, and smiled: "Murder your own husband? Lian'er wouldn't do such a thing."

"I..." Gu Lian was scared at first, but when Mo Yi teased her like this, she became ashamed and annoyed, "How can you laugh at me again..."

"I'm seeking truth from facts, how could Lian'er kill me. Don't be influenced by the things in the dream."

Gu Lian calmed down and asked, "You know this is what I dreamed about? How could you guess..."

Mo Yi was funny.So obvious, do you need to guess?Patting Gu Lian on the back, Mo Yi coaxed: "Keep sleeping, you will be leaving for the border the day after tomorrow, your body is tossing like this, you better rest well."

Gu Lian became even more ashamed, and really wanted to refute, isn't he the one who tormented her like this?But in the end, he still didn't have such a thick skin, so Gu Lian had no choice but to remain silent.

After being silent for a while, Mo Li suddenly thought of him.It is still unknown whether Mo Li will win or lose against the Yin-Yang Curse, Gu Lian feels sore, and can't help muttering: "Brother Wang's physical condition is really worrying."

"It's true to worry, but he can't hear you talking about it here, so let's silently bless you." Mo Yi's tone could not be less than appetizing.

It's not that Gu Lian can't hear Mo Yi's taste, but he still muttered: "Brother Wang has suffered a lot because of the Yin-Yang curse these years..."

Mo Yi sneered: "Yes, it's not easy for a real brother, but it's easy for a righteous brother?"

"You..." Gu Lian was stunned again, and said in embarrassment: "I just don't say anything, so you are satisfied?"

Mo Yi smiled, and suddenly turned over and pressed Gu Lian under him, which frightened Gu Lian.

"what are you going to do?"

Mo Yi already had a three-point enchanting aura, but now that the night was quiet, the lotus tent was warm, and the situation was so ambiguous, Mo Yi's three-point evil charm was even more highlighted.

Gu Lian stared at him with shame and fear, "What are you going to do?"

"What do you think?" Mo Yi said with a smile, "I think it's been a long night, but Lian'er is quite energetic, should I do something to pass the time?"

Gu Lian was really uncomfortable, she wanted to push Mo Yi away, but she was afraid of hurting his heart again.He had no choice but to verbally refuse, showing a reluctant expression.

"Okay, go to sleep." Mo Yi didn't make things difficult for Gu Lian anymore, which made Gu Lian heave a sigh of relief.

She was finally able to be quiet for a while, and had a buffer time to adjust her mood and accept her life...

The next day.

Neither Baili Jiuge nor Li Yuheng slept well last night, because after Baili Jiuge told Li Yuheng what happened yesterday, Li Yuheng expressed a lot of opinions: he felt that building a palace was a waste of money; he felt that the location of Huoquan was not suitable for the elderly; Moyi clicking on her sleeping point was an insult to her ten-year friendship; she also reminded Baili Jiuge to remember the hexagrams of Tianshi Yan... As a result, the two of them lost sleepiness in the end. Hardly brewing drowsiness, fell asleep.

It was still cool in the morning, Baili Jiuge left Li Yuheng in the wing room, and went to make breakfast by himself.

Watching the cook prepare the snacks, Baili Jiuge carried the breakfast and walked to the wing room.Passing by the back garden on the way, he glanced at the study room, just in time to see the door opened, Mo Yi helped Gu Lian out of the house, lovingly stroking Gu Lian's hair.

Baili Jiuge felt a little awkward to say hello, so he pretended not to see her and walked away quickly.

After sharing breakfast with Li Yuheng, Li Yuheng said: "My injury is not serious now, I will go back to live on the street of Yudian, so I won't stay here, so that Mo Yi won't be too dangerous."

Baili Jiuge said: "Didn't the jade store be burned?"

Li Yuheng said: "Brother Shi, who sells bonsai next door to my house, and several other merchants, it doesn't matter which one I want to live in."

"You have such a good relationship with them." Baili Jiuge said sincerely.

Li Yuheng smiled and replied, "Because they are my subordinates."

"Huh?"Baili Jiuge understood.It turned out that those merchants were also members of the Yinyang family, serving Li Yuheng, the Jade Spirit Lord... "No wonder that Brother Shi is so familiar with your family. You went out to find Tianshi Yan, and gave him the keys to the store."

"Yes, he is my father's most trusted person, and he is also loyal to me." Li Yuheng talked about this, his eyebrows beaming.

Baili Jiuge said: "Then how do you get out of Mo Yi's mansion? Go to the jade shop through the secret passage?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Li Yuheng drilled his head with Bai Yugui, and said distressedly, "The jade store is in ruins. If I walk through the secret passage and a person crawls out of the ruins, it won't cause a commotion all over the city?"

"Then what should we do?" Baili Jiuge said, "Why don't I disguise you." She thought of a way, "Doesn't Yufeng also live in Moyi's mansion? I'll disguise you as Yufeng, you can go out directly from the gate. Anyway, Yufeng has to go out, go around to the small gate to lead the carriage, I will let Yufeng go over the wall, and finally the carriage stops at the gate, no one suspects."

"It's a good idea." Li Yuheng nodded in agreement.

So Baili Jiuge went to find Yufeng, and after explaining it clearly to him, he changed Li Yuheng's face.

Li Yuheng, who was dressed as Yufeng, left Mo Yi's mansion just like that. The people in the mansion saw him going to the small gate, so they thought he was going to lead the carriage.The real Yufeng naturally climbed over the wall, and then led the carriage to the main entrance.

Although Li Yuheng was shorter than Yufeng, but at the moment Yufeng was sitting on a horse, and no one could tell whether he was tall or short.Baili Jiuge walked out of the mansion, looked back, and then came to the carriage.

Yufeng asked: "Concubine Shizi, don't we say hello to Eldest Young Master?"

"No, just take me around the city. We'll go directly to the east gate later to see off Mo Yi and Gu Lian. They've been away for several months."

"Your subordinate obeys." Yufeng lifted the curtain of the car, let Baili Jiuge in and sat down, and then carried out Baili Jiuge's order.

At the same time, Baili Jiuge and Yufeng arrived at the east gate.

The time when the princes and nobles of Xiqi City went out on business was Sishi, so when Baili Jiuge came, it was just in time for Mo Yi to arrive at the east gate with 2000 troops.

The snow-white carriage painted with epiphyllum is always extremely conspicuous.Mo Yi saw it at a glance, and immediately shouted to stop, leaving the horses here, dismounted and headed towards Baili Jiuge Walk.

Baili Jiuge didn't care what the people around him thought, so he pulled Mo Yi's sleeve, dragged him to the city wall, and asked in a low voice, "How is Gu Lian?"

Mo Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as his brother and sister, he was a bit too informal.He glanced at a carriage over there, "Lian'er is in the carriage, I will take good care of her."

"Oh, that's fine. When will you be back?"

"The construction period is three months." When Mo Yi said this, his eyes flickered and he lowered his voice.

"Brothers and sisters, after three months, the final decision will be made."

Baili Jiuge's heart trembled, "Mo Yi, what do you mean?"

"Mo Li will explain it to you." Mo Yi said solemnly: "At that time, success or failure will be determined at one stroke. If you win, it will be once and for all. If you lose, none of us can afford to lose."
