Stunning weapon

Coming to the palace today, Mo Xiaochuan always felt a little lifeless.Walking slowly, there were very few maids and eunuchs who came and went. When they saw Mo Xiaochuan, they all waited respectfully and saluted. When Mo Xiaochuan saw them, he nodded and smiled politely.

Although Mo Xiaochuan was very friendly, these people were still a little scared when they saw him. , Eunuch Chen died in the hands of Mo Xiaochuan.

This caused the maids and eunuchs in the palace to spread weird stories one after another. In short, except that the Queen Mother’s Palace seemed to be detached from them and did not believe these stories, the palace ladies and eunuchs were very fond of Mo Xiaochuan. awesome.

Without needing someone to lead the way, Mo Xiaochuan walked straight towards Mo Zhiyuan's bedroom.Walking to the door, the guards were still guarding the door a few days ago, but this time, they learned how to behave. When they saw Mo Xiaochuan coming, someone had already gone in to report that Mo Xiaochuan was in front of the bedroom. After waiting for a while, he called in.

Entering the bedroom, Mo Zhiyuan was drinking tea at the table, holding a book in his hand, when Mo Xiaochuan came in, he didn't respond, he was still drinking and watching himself, seeing Mo Zhiyuan like this, Mo Xiaochuan had to wait aside.

After drinking a cup of tea, Mo Zhiyuan reached out and tapped lightly on the table without raising his head.Mo Xiaochuan stepped forward, filled the teacup, and then stepped aside.Mo Zhiyuan picked up the teacup, but still did not look at Mo Xiaochuan, his eyes were always on the book.

In this way, after drinking a pot of tea, Mo Xiaochuan ordered the eunuch to serve another pot, and the book in Mo Zhiyuan's hand was also turned over half. Compared with the day, he was already much better, basically not sick. Looking at Mo Xiaochuan, Mo Zhiyuan suddenly smiled: "How did you become so cute today? But did you do something wrong?"

Hearing Mo Zhiyuan's words, Mo Xiaochuan raised his head, looked at Mo Zhiyuan, with a bit of bitterness on his face, and said, "Uncle, Xiaochuan is really..."

"It's hard to speak?" Mo Zhiyuan laughed.

"No!" Mo Xiaochuan shook his head, he didn't want to make a fool of himself, and then Mo Zhiyuan blocked his words, and immediately said: "Even if it's hard to speak, my nephew still wants to talk."

"Oh?" Mo Zhiyuan looked Mo Xiaochuan up and down, and said, "If that's the case, then you can say it."

"Uncle, I don't know what you plan to do with Liu Jingting?" Mo Xiaochuan asked straight to the point.

"Are you going to plead for him?" Mo Zhiyuan frowned.

"No!" Mo Xiaochuan said, "Liu Jingting's life and death have nothing to do with me, besides, he dared to assassinate his uncle, so he deserved his death."

"Hmph!" As soon as Mo Xiaochuan's words fell, Mo Zhiyuan suddenly snorted coldly, and said, "I don't agree with you, if that's the case, why do you still protect him?"

"Uncle, my nephew didn't. It was a misunderstanding at the time. Afterwards, my nephew went to investigate and indeed found someone sneaking into the palace. However, after searching extensively, it was confirmed that the person had left. As for whether it was Liu Jingting, my nephew didn't know. But blocking them from entering the mansion that day did not mean to protect Liu Jingting, but just did not want to disturb his wife and daughter..."

Listening to what Mo Xiaochuan said, Mo Zhiyuan fixed his gaze on his eyes and said, "Is that true?"

"Indeed." Mo Xiaochuan did not avoid Mo Zhiyuan's gaze.

Mo Zhiyuan looked at it for a while, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.Instead, he lowered his head, grabbed the teacup again, and fell silent.Mo Xiaochuan didn't speak, and the room became silent again for a while.

Time passed quietly, and after a long time, Mo Zhiyuan said softly: "Forget it, I don't want to pursue this matter any further. Tell me about your purpose for coming."

Mo Xiaochuan took a deep breath, looked at Mo Zhiyuan, and said, "Uncle, I beg you to spare Qingrou's life!"

"Forgive them?" Mo Zhiyuan asked back.

Mo Xiaochuan said: "Although I haven't done anything in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I still know about the crime of assassination, which affects the whole family, but Qing Rou and the others don't know anything. I also ask my uncle to be lenient when dealing with the Liu family." , spare them."

"They?" Mo Zhiyuan looked up at Mo Xiaochuan, and said, "Isn't Liu Qingrou the only one? What does the word "they" mean? Could it be that you told me not to hold the Liu family accountable?"

"Nephew doesn't dare, nephew just asks uncle to spare Qingrou and Huier, and that's enough." Mo Xiaochuan replied.

"Liu Hui'er? That granddaughter of Liu Chengqi?" Mo Zhiyuan asked.

"Exactly."

Mo Zhiyuan thought for a while with deep eyebrows, and said: "I haven't decided what to do with the Liu family yet, so you're here right now, isn't it a bit early?"

"Xiaochuan didn't dare to wait." Mo Xiaochuan said with a serious face, "Nephew doesn't dare to guess what uncle thinks. Qingrou has sacrificed a lot for me for so many years. I am afraid that after uncle makes a decision, it will be irreversible... "

Mo Zhiyuan saw a hint of excitement on Mo Xiaochuan's face, and a smile on his face, but he changed the subject and said slowly: "Liu Qingrou is your princess, and she can be regarded as a member of our Mo family." Men, it’s okay to forgive her, what does this Liu Huier have to do with you? Forgive her, I’m afraid it’s legally unjustifiable. Can you give me a reason to spare her?”

When Mo Xiaochuan heard Mo Zhiyuan's words, he couldn't help being stunned. What the Liu family committed this time was a major crime of exterminating the nine clans. Logically speaking, the son-in-law of the Liu family should also be included in the list of being punished. Of course, the Mo family was involved. As a member of the royal family, that's another story. Of course, it is impossible for Mo Xiaochuan to be involved, but as Mo Zhiyuan said, Liu Qingrou is Mo Xiaochuan's official wife, she is very noble, and she is already considered a member of the Mo family. It is reasonable to go out, but what is Liu Huier, and what reason is there to spare her?

Mo Xiaochuan showed hesitation on his face. After a while, he clenched his fist and said, "My nephew wants to take her as a concubine. I don't know, if this is the case, can my uncle spare her."

"Oh?" Mo Zhiyuan looked slightly playful, looked at Mo Xiaochuan, suddenly smiled, and said: "Your father and I both have a relatively indifferent view of women's sex. I didn't expect that you are a flirtatious boy. Follow your grandfather ..."

Having said this, Mo Zhiyuan suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to say that about Emperor Taizong. He coughed a few times and said, "I can consider this matter. Regarding the results of Liu Jingting and the Liu family's disposal, I will discuss it in the next few days." The date will be set, and I hope that when the time comes, you can do everything well and don't make it difficult for me."

After hearing what Mo Zhiyuan said, Mo Xiaochuan's eyes couldn't help but brighten up: "So, uncle agreed?"

"how?"

Before Mo Zhiyuan could say the following words, Mo Xiaochuan directly bowed, with a happy face, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Mo Xiaochuan so excited, Mo Zhiyuan was a little surprised, but then he shook his head and chuckled, and said: "You are so emotional, how can I rest assured that Xiliang will be handed over to you, I hope this is the last time , in the future, I should cultivate my mind more..."

Mo Xiaochuan didn't seem to understand the meaning of Mo Zhiyuan's words, the joy on his face was puzzled, he just thanked him again and again, and his gratitude was beyond words.Mo Zhiyuan shook his head lightly, stood up, helped Mo Xiaochuan directly, and said: "Get up. You don't have to thank me, I know, if I don't agree to you, you should go to your grandma to intercede... ..."

At this moment, Mo Xiaochuan was like an older child. Hearing Mo Zhiyuan's point of view, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "My uncle can't see it."

"I still have a lot of things to deal with, you go back first." Mo Zhiyuan pulled Mo Xiaochuan up, patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and went back to the chair by the table and sat down, picked up the teacup again, Picking up the book, looking at it, he didn't plan to pay any attention to Mo Xiaochuan.

Mo Xiaochuan nodded to leave, and then left Mo Zhiyuan's bedroom.

Leaving the palace, on the way back, Mo Xiaochuan was a little dazed, wondering if he had thought too deeply about Mo Zhiyuan's scheming before, but now it seems that he is not much different from ordinary elders.

After Mo Xiaochuan left, Mo Zhiyuan put away his books, and walked into an old man from outside the house. It was the old man Tianwei from that day. At this moment, he stood beside Mo Zhiyuan with a face of shame, his head bowed very low.

Mo Zhiyuan's face was not as friendly as when he was facing Mo Xiaochuan. He stared at the old man of Tianwei, and said in a cold voice, "Didn't I say that if you want to catch alive, you bring back one." The dead come, which makes it very difficult for me."

"This time, it's because I didn't do my job well, and I willingly accepted all the punishments. I just beg the emperor not to embarrass them. This time, Chang Ming is already dead..."

Before the old man Tianwei finished speaking, Mo Zhiyuan waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him, saying: "I don't want to hear these things, this matter is for the sake of your years of hard work, I can also Don't pursue it any more, but remember, it's only this time, and the next time will not be an example!"

The old man Tianwei was stunned, then nodded vigorously, and said: "I have made a note, if I make a mistake again next time, I will not dare to see the emperor again, so I will cut off this head myself..."

"Well, just remember what you said. Okay, your wounds haven't healed yet, go down and rest. You don't have to worry about Liu Jingting's body, I have my own arrangements." Mo Zhiyuan's face softened slightly some.

"Yes, I understand." The old man Tianwei nodded and retreated.

Mo Zhiyuan's brows furrowed again, but after a while, they relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
