Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 424
Baili Jiuge remembered that Xiao Rong said that when Mo Li was cast under the Yin-Yang curse, Concubine Ran and Concubine Liang both wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.

That is to say, according to Madam Si Ming, the person who shot her the arrow knew the private actions of Concubine Ran and Concubine Liang, and also knew that Madam Si Ming came to save Mo Li...

Baili Jiuge said suspiciously: "But Mrs. Si Ming, you said just now that you don't have time to see your father, so you went directly to Mo Li."

"Exactly." Duan Yao said: "Mo Li should be in the Zhonggong, and I went straight to the Zhonggong."

Baili Jiuge muttered intently: "At that time, there should be no one in the palace who knew Mrs. Si Ming..."

Duan Yao nodded and said: "Send Liu Feng to marry at least seven years before Mo Li's accident. People in the harem will not remember my appearance."

"So, the person who gave you the arrow is very suspicious." Baili Jiuge asked, "Madam Si Ming, don't you see who the arrow is?"

Duan Yao sighed and said: "At that time, my heart was full of Mo Li's safety, and I couldn't take that person into consideration."

A look of apology flashed across Mo Li's eyes, "Master..."

"Good boy, don't be sad, it's none of your business." Duan Yao smiled kindly, and said earnestly: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. What should come to light will eventually come to light."

"Thank you, Master, for your comfort." Mo Li said with a gentle smile.

Seeing that Duan Yao's tears had been dried by the wind, Baili Jiuge advised Duan Yao to eat something first.Jing Liufeng went with him, and the two had a lot to say.

Baili Jiuge didn't bother them, she thought back to Duan Yao's words, and naturally she could understand that all those strange things in the past were probably manipulated by a hand behind the scenes.Maybe, Mo Yi knows something...

"Jiuge, don't think about it." Mo Li's gentle voice brought Baili Jiuge back to his senses.

"Mo Li, I... shall we continue to listen to you play the piano? To be honest, I kind of want to go back to the house to rest." Baili Jiuge said truthfully.

Mo Li understood that Jiu Ge must have lost interest in listening to the piano after hearing what Master said just now.He rubbed the center of Baili Jiuge's eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Then go back to the house."

"Yeah." Baili Jiuge smiled and snuggled up to Mo Li.

The moon is clear and the sky is full of stars. A family of three walks through the blossoming epiphyllum, looking at the snow blown up by the summer wind.As they drifted away, Baili Jiu asked in a low voice: "Mo Li, that white crow from the former mother and queen. I was thinking, now that you are in good health, we can investigate the truth about the sudden death of the mother. If If I can see that white crow, if I use the bird control technique, maybe I can know something."

Mo Li said: "I have also considered this matter. I asked Yuying to go to the palace yesterday. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the white crow. Later, I asked the servant on duty in the Linhua Palace and learned that the white crow was in the palace. Shang Guo died of old age before he came back."

"Dead of old age?" Baili Jiuge shook his head and said, "What a coincidence, I always feel like a clue is missing."

"Don't think too much, go back." Mo Li whispered softly.

Baili Jiuge finally nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

A few days later, an oracle came out from the palace, which shocked the court and the public.

King Moyang of Zhou announced to the whole country with an edict that the follow-up matters of the Shang Kingdom had been dealt with, and he should be enthroned as emperor quickly. The matter of the dependent country was also caused by his arbitrariness in invading the Shang country.

Therefore, Mo Yang announced to all the people that he will abdicate on the first day of September in the Renyin year and move into a suburban palace to live up to his old age.

The imperial edict came so quickly, teaching Baili Jiuge was a little dazed.Thinking about it carefully, isn't September the month of March that Mo Yi said?
Baili Jiuge subconsciously felt that things would develop in an unpredictable direction.

Mo Li persuaded Baili Jiuge not to think too much, and according to their agreement, Mo Li took his wife and daughter to Osmanthus Village.The family of three spent two days leisurely and happy in Osmanthus Village. Baili Jiuge and Jin'er both tasted the fish soup made by Moli, and even bought two hundred catties of osmanthus cake. Yu Lei went to the palace to transfer another carriage to transport.

The seventh day of the eighth month of the Renyin year was a sunny day.

At the southeast border of Zhou State, the magnificent palace has been roughly completed.Craftsmen are laying powder and gold on the beams, rafters and purlins.

Flowers and trees had already been planted in the palace garden, and it was midsummer when hundreds of flowers were blooming, and the palace was full of purples and reds, and the petals of various colors were blown up by the wind, and lightly slipped into Mo Yi's cloud sleeves.

Gently brushing off the petals in her sleeves, Mo Yi walked among the craftsmen.In the summer, being a supervisor is not a labor-saving job.

"Eldest Young Master." A guard ran over and reported, "There was an old woman who asked to see her, but we stopped her outside the palace. She refused to leave, she insisted that she knew Eldest Young Master."

"Old woman?" Mo Yi smiled. He didn't know many old women, but none of them would come to the construction site.

Mo Yi motioned for the guard to watch over him on the construction site. He went to the unfinished gate of the palace, and saw a gray-haired back outside under the archway.

The two guards under the archway pointed to the back, and said to Mo Yi, "My lord, it's this old woman who won't leave if she insists that she knows you."

The man seemed to have sharp ears. Hearing what the two guards said, he turned around and scolded: "An idiot is an idiot. You can call her an old woman just by looking at her hair."

Mo Yi was choked up, really thinking that he had misjudged the person, his heart trembled slightly, full of doubts, he waved his hands to make the two guards back away, and went towards Li Yuheng himself.

"Phew... after a long journey, I've come to this ghostly place." Li Yuheng grinned as he walked over, "This ghostly place is really hot. I really admire the king's willingness to build a nest here for the elderly."

Mo Yi's footsteps stopped suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and then he smiled wildly as if nothing had happened. The corners of his eyes raised, revealing a flirtatious taste like a butterfly, and said with a smile: "Is the old man here to visit his son? Sorry, the craftsmen here It’s not time for the off-duty, please let the old man go back, and wait for your son to go home from work.”

Li Yuheng frowned, and was about to speak, but suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said "Ouch", fell to the ground, and said aggrievedly: "I am old, and my legs and feet are inconvenient. Walking this five miles is really tiring. Die."

Mo Yi approached, bent down, looked at Li Yuheng who was supporting him enthusiastically, and said, "Old man, be careful, you didn't fall, did you?"

"It's okay." Li Yuheng said with a playful smile.

Mo Yi lowered his voice, and took the opportunity to ask, "When were you being followed? Now those two are hiding in the bushes behind you, and you didn't even notice?"

"I can't notice it." Li Yuheng said: "I have lost my martial arts, and even if they follow me a little closer, I will still look like a deaf person. Maybe they followed me all the way from Xiqi."

"Clumsy." Mo Yi sneered at Li Yuheng helplessly, and said in a low voice, "This is not the place to talk, let's talk in another place."

Li Yuheng frowned and asked, "Aren't those two people dealt with?"

Mo Yi said: "Leave here first, I will take care of those two people." Then he helped Li Yuheng up, and said with concern: "Old man, since you are suffering from heat stroke, go with me to a cool place to rest first. I will notify your son to pick you up later."

Li Yuheng wiped away his tears gratefully, shook his head in dizziness, and said emotionally: "I thank you, Eldest Young Master, you are really the best person I have ever met."

Mo Yi gave Li Yuheng a sideways look.

Li Yuheng said with a smile: "Hunting and dog friends should be like this, so you don't have to thank me for my sincere praise."

Mo Yi didn't answer, and the two guards on the archway made a gesture, ordering them to continue guarding and not to ask any more questions.

An official residence nearby was Mo Yi's residence during his supervisory period. Mo Yi let Li Yuheng get into the carriage and sent the car to the construction site to find a place to rest.He drove and sent Li Yuheng to the mansion.

Li Yuheng complained in the car: "The fire spring is near here, it's too hot to live. Hey, Mo Yi, is there any watermelon in your mansion? I want to eat watermelon, I want it to be frozen."

Mo Yi ignored Li Yuheng, and glanced coldly at the back.The two stalkers were chasing the carriage.

Mo Yi didn't plan to get rid of them either, after all, there was an "old man" in the carriage, wouldn't it be outrageous if the carriage went fast?

When he was about to arrive at the mansion, a light brown foal trotted towards him.The sun was setting from south to west, half orange and half red, making the foal's fur shiny.The scent of camellia rouge was blown by a sudden west wind.

Mo Yi reined in the horse and stopped the carriage.

On the opposite side, the approaching colt also stopped.Gu Lian held her skirt carefully and wanted to get off the horse, but even though the pony was not tall, she still didn't know how to get on it.He couldn't help frowning, annoyed why he didn't practice horse riding well.

"Lian'er." Mo Yi called out with a funny smile.

Seeing that he had come under the horse, Gu Lian stretched out his hand towards her.Gu Lian quickly grabbed Mo Yi's hand, was half held and half hugged by him, and fell to the ground.

"Are you going to the construction site?" Mo Yi asked.

Gu Lian smiled tenderly: "I have nothing to do in the official residence, so I just want to go to the palace to have a look."

"No need to go, you get into the carriage, and I will take you back."

Upon hearing the word "you", Gu Lian looked at the carriage, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, which distinguished guest is sitting in the carriage?"

"You'll find out when you get in the car." Mo Yi instructed, "Don't shout out if you're surprised. If you have any questions, wait until you get back and talk about it in the car."

Mo Yi's voice was very low, almost a whisper.Gu Lian's eyebrows were full of doubts, and suddenly realized the reason, and asked in a mosquito voice: "Is someone following you?"

Mo Yi nodded, showing no sign of panic.He pushed Gu Lian's shoulder and said with a smile, "Get in the carriage."

Gu Lian looked back at Mo Yi suspiciously, without saying a word, walked towards the carriage with lotus steps, and stepped on the carriage.

When the curtain was opened, the sun just hit the people in the car, Gu Lian almost cried out in surprise, quickly raised his hand to cover his lips, and finally stifled the sound in his throat.She got into the carriage and lowered the curtain.
