"You can go now." Noble Consort Liu said. Tan Jizhi sighed, "Noble Consort Liu, you are really heartless … You and I have known each other for many years, I …"
"The Emperor is here!" The eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the palace gate. Tan Jizhi's eyes flashed, "It's so late, why is the Emperor here?" Noble Consort Liu stood up and said lightly, "He is the Emperor, who can stop him when he wants to come?" Tan Jizhi sighed helplessly, "That's why everyone in the world wants to be the Emperor. Please take care of yourself, Noble Consort Liu, I'll leave first." Seeing Tan Jizhi disappear into the darkness, Noble Consort Liu lowered her head and stayed silent for a while, then said lightly, "Not everyone is interested in that position." If that person was really interested in that position, she would do anything for him, even if she had to give him everything. She just wanted him to look at her seriously …
She tidied up her clothes slowly. Mo Jingqi's carriage had already arrived outside the palace. Stepping into the palace, Mo Jingqi looked at the dark room and frowned, "Why don't you light the lamps? Where are all the servants? "Just by hearing Mo Jingqi's tone, Noble Consort Liu knew that he was in a bad mood right now. It was said that Noble Consort Liu was the most favored in the palace, and the Emperor often went against the Empress Dowager for her. But only Noble Consort Liu knew that it was just because Mo Jingqi was in a good mood. When Mo Jingqi was in a good mood, he was naturally favored, but when he was in a bad mood, it was the people closest to him who suffered. Therefore, Noble Consort Liu never looked down on the Empress who was neglected. Mo Jingqi didn't favor her, but gave her the power to lead the harem. And he never lost his temper with her. Therefore, the Empress was the most comfortable person in the palace, even if the reason was that Mo Jingqi didn't want to get close to the Empress because he was guarding against the Hua Family.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty, I asked them to leave." Noble Consort Liu said lightly.
The maids and eunuchs who followed Mo Jingqi quietly entered the palace, lit all the candles, and then left silently. The hall was bright under the candlelight, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. Mo Jingqi looked at Noble Consort Liu and said, "It's so late. Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Noble Consort Liu said calmly, "Damn the epiphyllum outside the window. I was too greedy and forgot the time."
"Oh?" Mo Jingqi raised his eyebrows and walked to the half-open window. Sure enough, he saw a blooming epiphyllum under the window. Only then did he say with a smile, "So I've disturbed my beloved concubine's mood of admiring the flowers?" Noble Consort Liu remained silent, tacitly agreeing. Mo Jingqi was already used to her personality, so he didn't mind. If Noble Consort Liu was too warm and friendly to him, he would be suspicious. Looking at the exceptionally beautiful woman under the moonlight, Mo Jingqi's eyes flashed with a trace of lust. He pulled her over and kissed her fiercely against the window. The fierce entanglement of their tongues didn't end until Noble Consort Liu was out of breath. Mo Jingqi lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms. His eyes were still cold and indifferent, as if everything that had happened just now was just an illusion. Staring at Noble Consort Liu's beautiful face, Mo Jingqi's expression was complicated and hard to distinguish. There was anger and unwillingness, as well as deep infatuation and jealousy. Instead, it made the original desire completely fade away.
"It's so late. What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Noble Consort Liu pushed Mo Jingqi away gently, walked back to the couch in the hall, sat down, and asked.
Mo Jingqi's face darkened. He walked to Noble Consort Liu's side and sat down. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hua Chenfeng, that old bastard, sent a memorial today saying that he's going to lead an army to battle!"
Noble Consort Liu looked up at him in confusion. Mo Jingqi snorted and said, "He's dreaming! He's already so old, so he should stay at home and wait for death. For the sake of the Empress and Changle, I'll let him die of old age! Mo Xiuyao just got into trouble, and he wants military power. I'll make him die a horrible death sooner or later! "Noble Consort Liu calmly listened to Mo Jingqi scolding Duke Hua and the officials in the court who protected the Prince Ding Mansion. She wouldn't speak ill of Duke Hua, and Mo Jingqi didn't need her to scold Duke Hua with him. He just needed someone to listen to him. When Mo Jingqi finally finished scolding, he turned around and saw Noble Consort Liu sitting on the side in a daze. He said unhappily, "What are you thinking about?" Noble Consort Liu lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today. Is it because of Duke Hua?"
Mo Jingqi snorted and said, "I don't have time to deal with that old bastard Hua Chenfeng right now! Tan Jizhi still hasn't come back. I'm afraid that Mo Xiuyao secretly killed him. Those good-for-nothings came back and said that many people saw Tan Jizhi leave Ruyang with their own eyes. Mo Xiuyao has improved. Do you think you can fool me with this kind of trick? "In the past, if Mo Xiuyao didn't want to let Tan Jizhi go, he would definitely not let him go. If he wanted to kill Tan Jizhi, he would definitely stab him in the open. It would be useless to say anything. Now, he let him go on the surface, but secretly stabbed him. After so many years, Mo Xiuyao had indeed improved a lot! Noble Consort Liu lowered her eyes and hid the expression in her eyes, "Your Majesty sent Official Tan to the northwest. Naturally, you would think that he might fall into Prince Ding's hands."
Mo Jingqi cursed in a low voice and said angrily, "Tan Jizhi is also useless! Not only was he captured by Mo Xiuyao, even the Princess Ding was rescued by Mo Xiuyao! " Speaking of this, Mo Jingqi was so angry that his liver hurt. If Ye Li was captured, and she was even pregnant Ye Li. Wouldn't Mo Xiuyao obediently listen to him? Such a good opportunity was lost in vain. How could Mo Jingqi not be angry? Noble Consort Liu raised her eyes and said, "Official Tan has always been Your Majesty's trusted aide. Why did Your Majesty send Official Tan to the northwest … This concubine has overstepped. I shouldn't have asked about the matters of the imperial court." Mo Jingqi waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I naturally believe you. It's said that the previous dynasty's founder's imperial tomb and treasure are in the northwest. Tan Jizhi went there for this. I just didn't expect … "
Noble Consort Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Then … now the previous dynasty's treasure is all in the Mohist army's possession?"
Mo Jingqi's face was full of anger. He stood up and said, "That's right! If the previous dynasty's founder's legacy and treasure are really in the northwest, the Mohist army's strength will definitely reach a higher level! Damn that Tan Jizhi … "As if she didn't see Mo Jingqi's anger, Noble Consort Liu continued," And, I'm afraid it's not just the legacy and treasure. There's also … the Imperial Jade Seal … "
Mo Jingqi's face changed. He quickly looked at Noble Consort Liu and asked suspiciously, "How do you know that there's the Imperial Jade Seal in the Emperor's tomb?" Noble Consort Liu's expression changed slightly. She raised her head and looked at him and said, "It's also recorded in the history books that the previous dynasty's founder did get the Imperial Jade Seal. The imperial edict with the Imperial Jade Seal was also found among the relics left in the previous dynasty's palace. But after the previous dynasty's founder died, no one in the world has seen the Imperial Jade Seal. It's obvious that the founder didn't pass it down to his descendants. Since that's the case … the Imperial Jade Seal is very likely to be in the imperial tomb. It can't be that … the previous dynasty's founder just threw the Imperial Jade Seal into a random river, right? "
Mo Jingqi looked at Noble Consort Liu carefully. After a while, he said, "My dear consort, you rarely talk so much. It seems … you really hate Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li to the core? "
Noble Consort Liu didn't hide it at all. "Does the emperor not hate them?" Mo Jingqi nodded and said, "My dear consort is right. I hate them too!" Noble Consort Liu hated Mo Xiuyao for not loving her. She hated Ye Li for taking away her love. She hated the king's family's strength and reputation. She hated Mo Xiuyao's identity and talent even more. He was the late emperor's son. Mo Xiuyao was only the second son of the king's family. But when he was young and carefully struggled in the palace, Mo Xiuyao was the person that everyone in the Chu capital, including the princes, wanted to befriend and curry favor with. The brothers schemed against each other and fought to the death for their father's favor. Even their own blood brother from the same mother had to be on guard against him. Mo Xiuyao was willfully unrestrained. No matter what kind of trouble he caused, his elder brother, Mo Xiuwen, would helplessly follow behind and clean up for him. When he didn't sleep at all and worked hard to write a policy article to win a smile from his father, Mo Xiuyao only needed to casually wave his brush and write a chapter to win the praise of the entire court. He was also a prince, but even the girl he liked was infatuated with Mo Xiuyao … When he was still a prince, he had already sworn that one day, he would trample Mo Xiuyao and the Prince Ding Mansion under his feet!
