Chapter 174 Sewing a brocade quilt for the concubine mother

Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

Hearing the sound, Fang regained his composure, Luo'er immediately replied: "Yes, miss." Turning around one by one to leave, but looking back at the person at the exit of the secret passage while walking.

And Xiao Jinxi who was on the pear flower bed was still staring blankly at the person at the exit of the secret passage...

Mo Yi at the exit of the secret passage looked at it, smiled instantly, turned his head to close the secret passage, then walked forward, looked down at the dazed woman, and said, "I haven't seen you all night, Xi'er misses me so much, I can't even see it." I can't bear to blink."

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly when he heard the words, but his eyes were full of doubts, and he said, "Mo Yi, shouldn't you be offering sacrifices to your mother and concubine in the imperial mausoleum now?"

Mo Yi turned around and sat next to the woman, and said: "Qing Feng returned to Mo Garden this morning, he went instead of me."

Xiao Jinxi was surprised when he heard the words, and asked in doubt: "Qingfeng will go instead of you?"

Mo Yi nodded, and replied: "I sent a message to Qingfeng earlier, Qingfeng was busy with the matter at hand, and just rushed over. Among the people around me, only Qingfeng's figure is the most similar to me, and also the most Those who understand me, let him replace me, the people in the imperial tomb will not be able to see."

At this moment, the doubts in Xiao Jinxi's eyes deepened, and for a moment, he thought of something instantly, and asked, "Mo Yi, is your mother and concubine no longer in the imperial tomb?"

Mo Yi smiled when he heard the words, but there was a trace of bitterness in that smile, and said: "Xi'er is really smart, she has figured everything out in an instant."

At this moment, the doubts in Xiao Jinxi's eyes deepened, and he asked again: "But, Mo Yi, how did you transfer Concubine Li out of the royal tomb? This is not an easy matter!"

Mo Yi nodded, and said again: "It's really not easy, Xi'er is so smart, why don't you think about it again."

At this moment, the doubts in Xiao Jinxi's eyes deepened, and he murmured: "The royal mausoleum is guarded day and night. The mausoleum is already quiet, and any movement will immediately attract the attention of the guards."

"Unless... something more important happens in the mausoleum, it is possible to divert attention. More important thing? The closest thing is the death of Emperor Zongyuan!"

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi instantly understood: "Mo Yi, you transferred Concubine Li when Emperor Zong Yuan entered the mausoleum!"

Mo Yi nodded when he heard the words, and praised again: "Xi'er is really smart, you can be called Zhuge among girls!"

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly, and said, "Don't praise me, you kept it so well that you didn't even mention it last night."

Mo Yi smiled helplessly, and said again: "Xi'er, I didn't want to hide it from you, but Qing Feng just rushed back to the Mo Garden this morning, and he came, so I can not go. Back then I needed a reason, Zhengda Guangming appeared in the imperial capital, and after discussing with his grandmother, he decided to use the excuse of paying homage to his mother and concubine."

Xiao Jinxi nodded, and said again: "Well, you haven't returned to Tianqi for many years. Once you come back, you should pay homage to your mother and concubine. If you don't go, it will be more likely to attract people's suspicion."

Mo Yi nodded and replied: "Xi'er is right, my grandmother and I also thought about it in the same way."

For a moment, Xiao Jinxi was puzzled again, and said: "That's not right. The layout of the royal tomb is complicated and unclear. Even the concubine's mausoleum should not be underestimated. Unless the layout inside is known in advance, even if there is Emperor Zongyuan to divert attention, it is necessary to turn a It shouldn't be that easy to transport the coffin out."

At this moment, Mo Yi's eyes were dim, and he was silent...
Xiao Jinxi frowned when he saw it, and asked softly, "Mo Yi, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Mo Yi sighed deeply, and said: "It was the fourth brother who helped me. The fourth brother was in charge of the sacrifices in the royal ancestral temple, so he knew the layout of the imperial mausoleum the most. At that time, the fourth brother happened to be there The imperial mausoleum presides over the entry of Emperor Zong Yuan into the imperial mausoleum."

At this moment, Mo Yi stretched out his hand to embrace the woman in his arms, hugging her quietly, with a gloomy expression...

Feeling the man's sadness, Xiao Jinxi also fell silent, no longer speaking...

For a moment, a tear dripped from the top of his head onto his hand. At this moment, Xiao Jinxi was startled for an instant, and called softly again: "Mo Yi."

After a long time, Mo Yi said softly again: "Xi'er, we didn't bring out the coffin. Among the mother and concubine is Beauty Xiao. After death, this Gu worm will melt and disperse throughout the body, so that the corpse will not rot for decades, as if alive."

Xiao Jinxi in her arms frowned for a moment, but she didn't know what to say, she continued to remain silent, listening...
At this moment, there was a sting in Mo Yi's eyes, and he continued to speak slowly: "Since I found out that my concubine was a beauty, my grandmother began to sew a brocade quilt for her concubine. Since then, my grandmother has been looking forward to it. I hope that one day I can take my mother and concubine back to the Mo family."

"At that time, when we received the news that Emperor Zongyuan was seriously ill, my uncle and I quietly went back to the capital to find the fourth brother. I was the one who told the fourth brother that the death of the mother and concubine was man-made. Will make her body immortal."

"At that time, the fourth brother was also shocked. Finally, with the help of the fourth brother, my uncle and I just picked up the concubine mother from the mausoleum. The fourth brother also saw the concubine mother's body, so I realized that the concubine mother's death was indeed man-made. "

At this moment, there was deep sorrow in Mo Yi's voice: "That night, my uncle and I used the brocade quilt sewn by my grandmother to pick up my mother and concubine from the royal tomb, and rushed back to the Mo family overnight."

"The western border is guarded by Xia's army, and it is only with Uncle Xia's help that we can easily cross the border and return to the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"At that time, after the funeral for the mother and concubine, my grandmother fell ill all of a sudden, and it took half a month to recover from the illness."

Feeling the deep sorrow, at this moment, a line of tears flowed down from Xiao Jinxi's eyes...

At this moment, after saying all this, Mo Yi's body seemed to be emptied, and he remained silent, no longer speaking...

After a long time, Xiao Jinxi said softly: "Mo Yi, after we finish dealing with these matters, let's go back to see the concubine mother together, okay?"

Mo Yi nodded, and said: "Okay, we will go back to Mo's house together, the concubine mother will be happy to see Xi'er."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and replied, "Well, good."

After a while, Mo Yi continued: "Xi'er, in fact, that century-old jade pendant was given to my father by my mother and concubine. When I was a child, I looked beautiful and wanted to play with it, but my father didn't give it to me. Take care, that was the first time I asked Father for something, and he refused to give it, and I was angry for many days at that time, and I ignored Father."

"En." Xiao Jinxi responded lightly, but there was helplessness in her eyes... What kind of emotional entanglements were there between Emperor Qianxing, Concubine Li, and Xia Yang back then!
After a long time, Mo Yi continued: "Xi'er, after we get married, do you want to live in Moyuan? Or do you want to go back to the Western Zhou Dynasty?"

"All good." Xiao Jinxi asked softly, "Then where do you want to live?"

Mo Yi replied: "In Moyuan, Xi'er, you can often go back to the Marquis Mansion, and you can often see your grandmother. If it was in the Western Zhou Dynasty, my grandmother would be very happy to know."

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly, and said, "From then on, we will live in the Mo Garden for half a year every year, and then go back to the Mo's house in the Western Zhou Dynasty for half a year, okay?"

Mo Yi smiled instantly: "Okay, listen to Xi'er."
