Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 80: Charming Soul (20)
Mo Li smiled without saying a word, his deep eyes pierced the night, and fell on Gu Yan, with a calm and composed expression, and said softly: "Mr. Sikong."

"Well, Mr. Zhou is here to greet you." Gu Yan cupped his hands casually, his tone was a bit annoyed, and he just felt that his junior sister was tricked by this person, and he was very upset.

Baili Jiuge looked back, smiled at Gu Yan and said, "I'm going back home in a carriage, so you don't have to worry, go back to Zhongshan quickly."

Gu Yan rolled his eyes, "Are you driving me away?" I really forgot my brother with a man!

Baili Jiuge said: "I'm just discussing the matter, let you go to rest quickly! Besides, if you leave Ziqi in Zhongshan, the little Ziqi will kill you in a fit of anger!"

The word "Ziqi" touched Mo Li's ear. At this moment, the color of his eyes suddenly changed, and all the light and shadow were hidden in an instant. It was as clear and shallow as before, only the depths showed a little unpredictability, and he stared at Gu Yan like a torch. , narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gu Yan didn't pay attention to Mo Li's change, shrugged his shoulders speechlessly, raised his hand and flew away without a trace.

Baili Jiuge then helped Mo Li into the carriage, turned around with the carriage, and headed back...

After returning to Shizi Mansion, Fang Jue was overwhelmed with exhaustion, almost unable to hold back.

Baili Jiuge washed his face with a bucket of cold water from the well, and then regained his sanity a little, hurried to the bedroom and helped Mo Li onto the couch, undressed him, took off the Xiuyu hairpin that tied his hair, and treated him like After lying down, I turned off the light, threw down my coat and pulled on the hibiscus curtain, and lay down.

Once the lights are off, there is only a faint moonlight in the room, like a layer of fine white sand spread on the hibiscus tent, penetrating strands of it, flowing on the couch, blooming beautiful lines.

The two people looked at each other, Baili Jiuge couldn't help but feel his heart palpitating, he felt that everything around him was washed away by the moonlight, only Mo Li's deep eyes like ancient caves shone with brilliance like broken snow and glass, Gathering the magic of the world, it is eye-catching and attracts people to fall into it, unable to extricate themselves.

Suddenly, I heard him talking to her softly, but what he said was about the palace banquet during the day.

"That General Baili Xiao, and Mrs. Yueyue, I met when I was young."

Baili Jiuge was slightly taken aback.Why did Mo Li suddenly mention this?
But curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help asking: "Who are they? Did they go to your Zhou country?"

"Well." Mo Li recalled: "I was six years old at that time, and once many princes and nobles from the Shang Kingdom came to the palace, and the queen mother took me to attend the palace banquet. Xiao, I clearly remember that he was full of vigor and brilliance. His wife Yuyue was already pregnant at that time, and sat next to him with a veil. The mother took me to meet the two of them. It seems that the mother and Yu Yue Madam Yue is an old acquaintance."

"And then?" For some reason, Baili Jiuge really wanted to know what they said.

But Mo Li pondered, with an indescribable smile on the corner of his lips.Such a pause made Baili Jiuge a little dissatisfied, and urged: "Why don't you talk about it, I still want to know the follow-up."

"Follow-up..." Mo Li smiled slightly: "I'm afraid your face will change if I tell you."

What does this mean?Could it be that she is an extremely emotional person in Mo Li's eyes?

Jiaochen said: "Say it quickly, don't keep it!"

Mo Li smiled helplessly, and said slowly: "I was surrounded by ignorant people when I was a child, my father was busy and rarely saw me, and my mother, like Mrs. Yuyue, always wore a veil, preventing me from seeing her true face. … At that time, I felt very lonely, and when I heard Mrs. Yuyue say that she had a daughter in her womb, I asked her daughter to stay with me all the time after the birth.”

Sure enough, Baili Jiuge's expression changed subtly.

Mo Li said: "At that time, Mrs. Yuyue laughed at me for not being sensible, and she told me that her daughter could not stay with me for the rest of my life, because girls always want to marry."

"And then?" Suddenly there was an ominous premonition.

"Then, I told Mrs. Yuyue that I want the daughter in her womb to marry me."

Sure enough, it was expected!

Baili Jiuge's complexion changed very obviously, red, purple, white and green, colorful expressions constantly changing on a small face, and suddenly said angrily: "So you already have a fiancée! I really can't tell At such a young age, you know how to pre-order the girl in the womb first, Mo Li, you really surprised me!" As she said this, she felt a little strange: how did Mrs. Yuyue know that she was pregnant? Is it a girl?
Mo Li slightly hooked the corners of her lips, Baili Jiuge's cute and puzzled appearance was reflected in her pupils, her moon-like eyes were filled with gentle shimmering light, and she just looked into her eyes softly.

But suddenly, his expression froze, and a heavy color stained his eyes like a thrush. Seeing this way, Baili Jiuge also twisted his heart, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Mo Li stroked her hair slowly, indicating that she was fine, and sighed slightly: "That year was Renwu Year, and many things happened. First, I heard about Baili Xiao's death in June, and then it was the day of Qixi Festival. The queen mother died suddenly, and then there was news that Mrs. Yuyue had dystocia and both mother and daughter died... I remember very clearly that the day when Mrs. Yuyue passed away was the sixth day of the seventh month of the Renwu year, which was also the day before the mother's sudden death ..."

Baili Jiuge's heart twisted suddenly.

Then he twisted again and pulled hard, and the pain spread all over his body in an instant.

Mo Li's low but desolate words lingered in his ears, each word was like a needle, piercing deeply into Baili Jiuge's heart, a hole was broken, blood flowed out, the pain he felt was like a big net Bind her up.

She blamed herself: "I really shouldn't have questioned you like this, making you think of unpleasant things. And Mrs. Yuyue, if her daughter is still alive, she should be the same size as me by now. At the beginning of July in Renwu Year Six, that's my birthday too."

"En." Mo Li held back her sadness in a soft sigh, her expression was as calm as before, but she seemed to say casually: "It's not just you, Miss Raging Fire, it's also the birthday of that day."

"So is Liehuo?" Baili Jiuge suddenly felt that it was a coincidence, and said, "There is also Gu Lian from Fangfei Pavilion, who was also born in the same year, the same month, and the same day as me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a touch of sensitivity that shouldn't have crossed his heart.

Mo Li, he actually knew Li Huo's birthday?
Baili Jiuge's expression froze unconsciously.

Usually, I don't think about this kind of problem, but now, somehow, my thoughts are uncontrollable, and I think about the past one after another——

She remembered that when she first met Lie Huo, she seemed to know Mo Li, and she said so firmly: "He... If he is not suffering from serious illness, why should he suffer such humiliation in Shang Country? What is his character like? It is beyond the reach of ordinary people..."

Then, on the second day of her marriage to the Mansion of the Dead Son, Lie Huo and Xiao Rong came to visit in the early morning.

Even when Guishui came to him when he had a high fever, Mo Li said that he wanted to find a woman to take care of her, but the one he found was Li Huo!
Baili Jiuge was stunned by this series of memories.

It turned out that Mo Li and Lie Huo were familiar with each other like that before, right?But none of them said anything to her, they just kept her in the dark as if going with the flow?

Mo Li even remembers Li Huo's birthday clearly, their relationship is simply extraordinary!

Frowning, Baili Jiuge couldn't control her heart and began to feel sour. The sourness was only slight at first, but it kept increasing and piling up, getting more and more tired, and finally it was like a big stone pressing down on her entire chest , making her feel heavy and depressed.

Until now, Mo Li still kept a lot of secrets from her... Even, the inclination in her heart suddenly became very strong, she was eager to know the relationship between Mo Li and Lie Huo, but she was a little afraid of the cruelty of the truth.

"Jiuge, what's wrong?"

Still such a gentle and caring tone brought Baili Jiuge back to his senses. At this moment, his condensed expression began to relax slowly. Baili Jiuge didn't like himself thinking like this, so he couldn't help but hum softly, and then let out a series of bright and beautiful low smile.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something, that's all!"

Yes, that's all, she is a willful and willful girl, so she can't be afraid of the future just because of that unnecessary doubt!
What kind of relationship between Mo Li and Li Huo has anything to do with her?She likes Mo Li and is willing to make sacrifices for him, that's enough, it has nothing to do with other people!

Didn't Agni say that too?If you like someone, you don't care if he likes you or not, as long as you treat him well with your heart and soul.

Ok!That's it!What do you think about so much?forget about it!

She laughed heartily, approached Mo Li, and said in a low voice: "I just want to say, I can't bear with you the things you did in the past, but in the future I will be able to experience many years of pain with you." The ups and downs, how about we all enjoy it together? The dead are dead after all, but the living still live with a smile! As for your fiancée who died young, although she can't be with you for the rest of her life, there is still Am I not? I will not leave you!"

After finishing speaking in a breath, her bright eyes fixed on Mo Li without any shyness.

She just wanted to truly see the true emotions deep in Mo Li's eyes.

However, the eyes were too deep, and the flowing brilliance and hidden fluctuations were so gentle and calm but ever-changing.Even though Baili Jiuge watched without blinking, he still couldn't see what kind of ripples were at the end of the light in his eyes.

He smiled suddenly, clear and shallow, warm, like falling flowers, like lingering fine water.

Slowly stroking Baili Jiuge's hair, the movement gradually stopped, and finally the hand stopped behind her waist, as if to embrace her in his arms, but there was no further movement.

In the end, only four short words escaped from the lips——

"Jiuge, go to sleep."

Baili Jiuge didn't speak, but responded to Mo Li with a smile.

She vaguely understood in her heart that Mo Li was much more cautious and mature than her. She didn't know what he was carrying, but she intuitively knew that it should be a lot.Such a person who bears the burden of humiliation, even if he can trust her, will not open his heart to her in the end.

Forget it, it doesn't matter, who told her to fall in love with this gentle and mysterious person?

Anyway, she believed in him, respected him, and wanted to keep walking with him, but he didn't give her a negative answer.

Therefore, as long as she is firm in herself, that's enough!
Thinking so, Baili Jiuge said goodnight, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
