A Thousand Hills

Chapter 155

Ling Xiao was clearly prepared.

She has a big belly now, and her body is already a bit bulky. She is wearing a loose light emerald skirt and a simple emerald jade hairpin in her hair, which is refreshing.Xie Moru said, "Say what you have thought up again."

Ling Xiao took out a plain lotus bud from his bosom and offered it up, Luluo took it and presented it to the Fifth Prince.The fifth prince took out a brass token the size of half a palm. From what the fifth prince saw, the token was in the style commonly used by ordinary guards. Of course, those who can have this kind of bronze token are usually some prestigious guards.One side of the token is the serial number and name of the guard, and the other side should be the battalion guard to which the token belongs. For example, the token of the Imperial Guard Habayashi Guard usually has a character "Feather" engraved on it, and the character "Xuan Jiawei" is the character "Xuan". , and so on, the fifth prince turned the token over, but for a moment he didn't realize which token it was, because the word "English" was engraved on the other side.

The fifth prince wondered, "Which company or camp is this token?" No company or camp used the word "English", and handed the token to Xie Moru.

Xie Moru's heart sank, and he sent Lu Luo down, and asked Ling Xiao, "The Duke of England? Are you a descendant of the Duke of England?" The fifth prince couldn't think of the Duke of England for a while, because the Duke of England had disappeared for many years, and the imperial capital was full of wind and clouds. Few people remember being a proud British government.Xie Moru knew it when she saw it, and she didn't know why, but she knew it immediately when she saw the token.

Ling Xiao smiled wryly, "I don't know anything about the British government, nor is it a descendant of the British government. Before my father was alive, I never heard anything about the British government. This is my father's relic. I grew up in a mountain village in Zhongshan. After my father passed away, I saw this token when I was packing up my father’s belongings, but I didn’t know where it came from. I just put it away as a thought. With the intention of murdering me, I escaped with my life by chance, but I was really unwilling to die like this. When I was living outside, I gradually saw some things in the world. In our place, the tokens used by the magistrate's house are only made of wood. I thought, this token has a lot to do with the relationship. Later, I entered the palace by fate and became a palace man. I saw the plaque of the great eunuch, which was also copper. When I was in the palace, I often heard the nobles talk about the prominent people outside the palace. But none of them carried the word 'English', and once I heard Princess Yongfu talk about the Duke of England, I guessed it."

"Your father was a guard of the British government back then." The fifth prince also knew that the matter was not simple, and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ling Xiao remained silent.

Xie Moru replied indifferently on her behalf, "close relatives and husbands and wives can kill each other just because they can guess some traces. I think Ling Xiao didn't plan to speak before he was not too sure. If you let His Majesty know your identity in the palace, it is true. Good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, not to mention that the queen mother is deeply tabooed about being first in the British family. Now it is different, you are pregnant and have your highness's child, and you are more sure of saving your life, so you will take this thing out and fight with me Tell your highness the truth, right?" Don't say anything about the old man of the British government, like Ling Xiao, who can only be regarded as the descendant of the British government's guards, who didn't even know what the British government was. Hers is just murderous.Of course Ling Xiao didn't believe in Xie Moru, who would she trust if she had gone through a crisis where even the person next to her pillow could turn her face against a killer?As for feelings, Xie Moru didn't think she had any feelings for the descendants of the former British government guards, and Ling Xiao thought the same for her.

Xie Moru asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Ling Xiao said, "If you can, please empress and Your Highness try my best to save my life, I really don't want to die."

The fifth prince was amazed at Ling Xiao's shamelessness, Xie Moru looked at the fifth prince, who had nothing to ask, and said, "You go down first."

Ling Xiao bowed and took his leave.

The fifth prince said, "I really didn't see her heart and eyes all over her body before!"

"After all, she is pregnant with our flesh and blood."

Xie Moru knew that the gene of the lack of children in the old Mu family was inherited in everyone's blood, and sure enough, the fifth prince couldn't say no to having children, Xie Moru said, "Look, Your Highness, can I enter the palace with His Highness tomorrow? See Your Majesty."

The fifth prince said, "I will discuss this matter with my father." If there is any external matter, the fifth prince thinks it is better to solve it by himself.

Xie Moru said, "Some things are hard to explain between Your Highness and Your Majesty. Your Highness is a filial son, and His Majesty can dismiss you with a single word. But I am a daughter-in-law. Your Majesty treats me more kindly than His Highness." some."

The fifth prince felt that his daughter-in-law was wronged, and said, "You were not born when something bad happened to the British government. Now this trouble, I want you to come forward."

Xie Moru never complained about anything, and said, "I still say the same thing. Back then, I swore to God that as long as His Highness returned safely, I would pay any price. After all, Ling Xiao saved you. If there is any trouble, let's solve it together."

The fifth prince was very sentimental, and gently squeezed his wife's hand.Hey, what's so good about having more concubine? Yu's mother's family took part in the imperial examination, but they were implicated in the imperial examination. Even though the fifth prince killed his relatives righteously, he felt ashamed.Ling Xiao is so silent and so calculating.

Hey, the fifth prince thinks that his daughter-in-law is the best.

Xie Moru understood the fifth prince's intention and smiled silently.This is very good, they are honest with each other, they have nothing to hide, just like relatives, they will never let them down.

This is the second time that Xie Moru saw Emperor Mu Yuan. The first time was when he was married to the fifth prince at the Zhaode Hall, and this was the second time. He was still in the Zhaode Hall. Dad said, today is not the day for the court meeting, after breakfast, the fifth prince came with Xie Moru.

Emperor Mu Yuan felt that it was a bit abrupt for the fifth son to do this.However, if the son and daughter-in-law asked to see him outside, Emperor Mu Yuan would naturally see him.The fifth prince brought Xie Moru in, and Xie Moru said, "Your Highness, I will have a private conversation with Your Majesty."

Seeing that his father had no objection, the fifth prince took along the servant Zheng who was beside Emperor Mu Yuan, and then guarded the door by himself. The servant Zheng was far away in the yard, thinking, this, this, what is going on here? !

Xie Moru took out the token of the British government from his sleeve and put it in front of Emperor Mu Yuan. Emperor Mu Yuan raised his eyebrows, Xie Moru said, "Does Your Majesty know about Ling Xiao?"

"Isn't she a side concubine in your house?"

Since Emperor Mu Yuan said he didn't know, Xie Moru told the truth about Ling Xiao's origin, and said, "She is pregnant now, and the child in her belly belongs to me and His Highness. She cannot be touched now. If Your Majesty wants her life, he will also After she gives birth. If not, let her live in our house."

Emperor Mu Yuan said indifferently, "Oh, do I want it or not?"

Xie Moru said indifferently, "I don't understand the reasoning, and I don't understand the words. If I don't make it clear, I will inevitably be taken advantage of by villains in the future. Whether your majesty wants her life or not has nothing to do with me. If you want me to guess, it's just underestimating I have underestimated you too." Xie Moru gestured to the token in the case, "Even the owner of this token was safe at the beginning, but I think it was just an irrelevant person, Ling Xiao is the daughter of this person, let alone irrelevant Yes. I came here not just to talk about this matter. Your Majesty, please return the people I sent to Sichuan. I just sent them to verify Ling Xiao’s identity. If there is anything in Sichuan that I can’t let me know, Your Majesty may I thought it was a great secret, but I had no interest in knowing it."

Emperor Mu Yuan didn't speak, Xie Moru had finished speaking, and said, "Your Majesty has no order, so I will leave."

Emperor Mu Yuan suddenly asked, "You don't want to know?"

Xie Moru couldn't help but stop, this time it was early morning, the morning light penetrated through the carved window and sprinkled on Xie Moru's body, outlining a tall and pale golden figure, but Xie Moru could not be seen clearly from the angle of Emperor Mu Yuan Xie Moru’s voice remained flat, “Many people always think of Princess Fusheng and the Fang family when they see me, and they will never stop imagining the influence that Princess Fusheng and the Fang family have had on me. But in fact, I don’t I have seen either of these two. If your majesty is asking me about your views on your own government, I can only say that there is only one sun in the sky. The winner wins, and the loser loses. What can I say? People think Standing tall, are you still afraid of the risk of falling? Your Majesty, don't let those ignorant villains affect your judgment. The relationship between you and Princess Fusheng is just a power struggle, not a blood feud. Princess Fusheng Yu Jiuquan Seeing the prosperity of the country, I will also be relieved that it is you who are in charge of the country, not someone else."

After Xie Moru finished speaking with Emperor Mu Yuan, he and the fifth prince went to the harem to visit Concubine Su. According to the fifth prince's wishes, it is better not to tell mother about this, lest she think too much.Xie Moru held the opposite opinion, "If you don't say anything, accidents will easily happen. We have talked to the concubine mother, so that we can understand each other's intentions. Besides, the concubine mother is not unbearable." Concubine Su is weaker, Definitely wouldn't live up to now, let alone raise the fifth prince.

The fifth prince said worriedly, "We still have to talk to my concubine in private."

"It's natural."

The matter was naturally said in private, Xie Moru looked relaxed, and the fifth prince didn't take it seriously, Xie Moru said, "There is nothing you can't say to others, Your Highness and I are both upright, and we entered the palace in the morning to Explain this to Your Majesty. Your Majesty already knows it. We have discussed it, and we have to tell Concubine Mother. Don't think too much about Concubine Mother. After all, Ling Xiao saved His Highness. Although she caused some troubles, compared to her benefits, It's worth it. Is there anything more important than Your Highness?"

Concubine Su sighed, "Your Majesty has a big heart, so he won't argue with her, but she really thinks too much." If she had told the truth earlier, she would not have caused such troubles.

Xie Moru said, "Looking at the face of the child, she has put so much effort into being able to live safely, so let her continue to live."

The fifth prince said, "That is to say, when you meet a mistress like a daughter-in-law, if you want to leave her home, what will happen." His daughter-in-law is very kind, she is a concubine like the sister-in-law who is always known for her generosity.

Xie Moru joked, "Because you have a great reputation outside, you should always be kind."

The fifth prince said softly, "Don't pay attention to those ignorant guys, I know what kind of person you are."

Xie Moru's lips curled up, looking at the fifth prince and smiling.

Concubine Su couldn't help laughing when she saw this, things in the world are like this, if you take it as a big thing in the day, it will be bigger than the sky, if you don't take it to heart, it won't affect you.

The young couple stayed at Concubine Su's place for lunch before leaving, Xie Moru brought Concubine Su some jade mushrooms from Xining, and let them stew them with the pigeons.Xie Moru said, "This is what Xingyun told me. He said that the stewed pigeon with jade mushrooms is very nourishing. I eat it every now and then. It is very good for the body after taking a bath. I happened to eat this. I asked the imperial doctor, and eating these two together is indeed nourishing. Mother and concubine, try it."

Xie Moru gave him a wink, the fifth prince hurriedly served soup for his mother, and stole the palace servant's errand.Concubine Su laughed straight, "Oh, I don't need you, how could you do this."

The fifth prince said, "I can do it, I can do it."

Xie Moru smiled, "Men, it doesn't matter if you can't do the indomitable things, just do the small things well first. No matter how considerate the palace is, His Highness is a son, so it's naturally different."

Concubine Su smiled, "Then I will enjoy it too."

The fifth prince smiled, "Look at what my concubine said, I will serve you every day from now on."

Concubine Su kept smiling, "You guys are showing filial piety to me by living a happy life."

Concubine Su had to take a nap in the afternoon, and when she came out of Shuren Palace, the fifth prince said to Xie Moru, "It's better for you." At first he was afraid that this matter would make his mother think too much, and it would not be safe.Now everyone is talking and laughing for a long time, and my mother's mood has not been affected in any way.

Xie Moru concealed the disappointment in his heart, and said, "It's been so many years, there's nothing I can't let go of."

After the two of them talked, Xie Moru said again, "You should take some of the jade mushrooms we gave to my concubine, and bring some to His Majesty."

The fifth prince said, "Isn't there anything at Father's place, we, after all, can't compare with tributes."

"Mufei's place is also served by palace people who are meticulous and thoughtful, but she eats all the soup you serve for her. Everything is there. It was paid by outsiders. It's still the same sentence, it's different." Thank you Mo Rudao, "Mother has delicate feelings, so children should pay back meticulously. The more fathers have the responsibility to teach, the more children will be in awe. It is good to be in awe. With awe, you will know how to measure. What is said is When we were young, now that we are at this age, we know all the rules and proper manners that we should know. My father always looks forward to the closeness of his children. How you honor your mother and concubine should be how you honor Your Majesty."

The fifth prince's ability may not be superior to his brothers, but he has an advantage, he can listen to advice, especially when he thinks what you are saying is right, he is willing to listen to your opinion.Xie Moru spoke in such a gentle voice, the fifth prince really felt that there was some truth, especially since he was also a father.The fifth prince complied, and planned to be filial to his father tomorrow.

Seeing that he responded, Xie Moru had soft eyes.

Yes, the earth-shattering event has been done, it's time to start small and do some work.
