Chapter 48 Chapter 45

"This is the so-called good news you said?" After being shocked, Li Zihe's complexion suddenly turned pale. If Shen Mo was referring to this incident, it is very likely that he planned it with one hand and killed a thousand people... …

Shen Mo still smiled lightly, and nodded slowly.

"One thousand disaster victims, you don't even blink?" Li Zihe was surprised, she knew Shen Mo's indifference, which was actually cold, and she knew his gentleness, just because he didn't care, even he never studied medicine to help the world , but a thousand innocent lives were dissipated in such a smile like his, which still made her feel chilling.

Shen Mo was not surprised by Li Zihe's reaction. He stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down, but when she pushed her away, his free arm stiffened. He lowered his eyes and said, "You should be able to guess the benefits of this."

"That's why you waited until Gu Weiquan to prescribe the medicine?"

"That's right. Gu Weiquan is eager to ask for credit, but he doesn't know that medicine is hard to pay. If there is less medicine and more people, chaos is bound to happen. I just fan the wind and light some fire."

Regardless of Gu Weiquan's willingness or not, if a thousand disaster victims died at his hands, the world would be outraged. The long-admired general didn't care about right and wrong, and allowed his generals to slaughter innocent people. World.

Li Zihe understood that once this happened, the Gu family would surely fall, but...

"Why do you have to use such a radical method? Yun Jinyan originally intended to get rid of the Gu family, and we will find opportunities by following his wishes."

Shen Mo's eyes swayed and turned into softness, his tone was still flat, and he said: "Last time you used Yin Ping to stir up conflicts between the Zheng and Gu families, and the traces of Zheng Ying being framed are so serious, if he intends to get rid of the Gu family , must push the boat along the way and pull the Gu family, but Yin Qi suddenly changed his attitude, and the fighting between the two families died down. Obviously, someone was obstructing it. That person can only be Yun Jinyan. He has already seen that we want to disrupt the government. If you continue to play some tepid tricks, it will be a waste of time! He doesn't want the court to be in chaos, so we will force the court to be in chaos!"

Li Zihe shook his lips, and wanted to say something, Shen Mo continued: "You have to see your opponent clearly. It's not passer-by A, not passer-by B, not a big or small official in the court, let alone someone who is simple-minded and soft-hearted. The puppet emperor. From an unfavored prince to now, it can be said that he stepped on the corpse and climbed up the dragon chair. If you want to seek revenge on him, you can either look up at him in the palace forever with hatred, or , you have to step on the corpse and stand at the same height as him, so that you are qualified to confront him."

Shen Mo's indifferent tone was like a heavy hammer hitting Li Zihe's heart, his eyes were swollen red, and his fists were getting tighter and tighter. She couldn't find a reason to refute what Shen Mo said.

"I'm going to the cold palace." Li Zihe said coldly, turned around and left.

Shen Mo hurriedly said: "The Leng Palace has been guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, if there is no reason, I'm afraid they won't let you in."

"Gu Yanlin, did you kill it?" She couldn't find anyone else's motive for killing Gu Yanlin. Even Concubine Yao should be more willing to watch her linger in the cold palace. Since Shen Mo has such a huge It is not difficult to kill Gu Yanlin, so disturbing Gu Weiquan's mind will make it easier for him to design Gu Weiquan to massacre the victims.

"No." Shen Mo replied decisively.

Li Zihe didn't turn around, didn't answer, and went straight out of the room, Shen Mo's plain voice slowly drifted to his ears: "If you want to find out what's going on, I'm afraid it would be more appropriate to go to Concubine Yao."

In the evening, dark clouds overwhelmed the sky and the sky was gloomy. Two lamps had been lit in the Hall of Qinzheng, and Yun Jinyan's shadow was cast obliquely on the desk, flickering with the candlelight.

"Your Majesty, it's the disaster victims' riot, and it really has nothing to do with the veteran!" Gu Weiquan knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, his voice extremely painful.

Yun Jinyan's expression was not good, and he said angrily: "The victims of the disaster should not massacre the people even if they rioted. Now I want to protect you, but I can't do it!"

"Your Majesty is aware! The spot where the medicine was scattered was really chaotic. The victims didn't know how to know that the herbal medicine was not enough, so they rushed forward uncontrollably. In the end, they grabbed the medicine one after another and trampled to death several people on the spot. The generals couldn't control it for a while... one person died, and the rest became even more angry, so out of control, I really don't want to see it!"

"Now it's not something that can be done by me knowing clearly, so what if I trust you? Will the people believe you? If this matter is left alone, the people will only say that I condone and protect you. Once this matter happens, you should know what the end will be!" Yun Jinyan's face turned pale, he had never calculated that Gu Weiquan would destroy the Great Wall himself.

Gu Weiquan was even more terrified, and kowtowed: "The old minister is willing to personally apologize to the victim's family!"

Those victims were all civilians. He brought all his family members to the door to make amends, and then paid some money, maybe... maybe it would be better?
"General Gu! Could it be that the older you get, the more confused you become? Since ancient times, the generals lead troops to fight against the enemy, but there is a reason why the soldiers of our own country stained their hands with the blood of the people? If you make an apology, it will be fine. Does it mean that after everyone kills, the apology will be settled. ?" Yun Jin said in a low voice, Gu Weiquan's idea is really simple.

Gu Weiquan trembled all over. He has never encountered such a thing since he was an official. It is unprecedented. How to deal with it depends on the hearts of the people and the heart of the king.

"The old minister is negligent, and I am willing to let the emperor deal with it!" Gu Weiquan was so heartbroken that he could only bet that the emperor would not dare to touch him now. After all, he was not entirely to blame for this matter. If he were to kill him, the soldiers under him would definitely not Let it go, and disturb the morale of the army, the emperor will have scruples.

"Is it okay for General Gu to stay in the Judicial Division for a while?" Yun Jinyan sighed lightly, and said, "I want to protect you, but now I should avoid the limelight. After everything is found out, the general will be released."

"The old minister kowtows to thank the emperor!" Upon hearing Yun Jinyan's tone, Gu Weiquan immediately bowed his head to thank him. As long as the emperor favors him, this matter will be much easier to handle.

As soon as the words fell, two guards left with Gu Weiquan.

Yun Jinyan's face darkened in an instant, and the hand holding the brush unconsciously exerted force, and it snapped off with a "scratch". It's a good thing to have an opponent, but he hates being persecuted the most!

"Your Majesty, Shen Mo returned to the palace early this morning and was seriously injured!" Eunuch Wei said as he entered the palace and saluted.

Yun Jinyan raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Your Majesty, just now the commander of the Imperial Forest Army came over and asked how long the Leng Palace will be guarded?"

Yun Jinyan raised his head, his eyes changed, and he said coldly, "Always watch!"

Li Zihe changed his clothes, did not go to Leng Palace, did not go to Taoyao Palace, but went out of the palace to Feng Mansion.The sound of the wind is bleak, but it won't win people's hearts. Li Zihe Hong took Feng Zongying's urn from the housekeeper with eyes. Yun Jin said that he would send it to the general's mansion, but did not specify a date. Let Grandpa Feng spend more time with her.

There is a plum grove in the backyard of the Feng Mansion. Ji Li liked it very much when he was a child, because in the white winter, it is the only place that has a color and a pleasant fragrance.At that time, everyone laughed and said that her red dress was more colorful than plum blossoms in winter. Now she knows how difficult it is to bloom in winter. Not everyone can survive the bitter cold.

Li Zihe hugged the urn, squinted his eyes and sat against the bottom of a plum tree. For the time being, let her rest and remember for a while.

As soon as her heart softened, the tears started to fall straight down. She used to cry when she fell down, cried when her finger was pricked by a needle, cried when arguing with her father, and cried when she had a fight with Yun Jinyan. She knew that when she cried, she would cry. Like pear blossoms with rain, delicate and lovely, even if the heart is as hard as ice, it also turns into a pool of spring water, coaxing her to laugh and make her happy.

Now she doesn't cry when she is tortured with a cane, doesn't cry when she is whipped, doesn't cry when she is abandoned, or is deceived, because she is not worth it, but in this world, people who deserve her to cry have left one by one.

Suddenly, his shoulders felt warm, and the tears were carefully wiped away. Li Zihe opened his eyes, saw Shen Mo frowning, with a little pity in his eyes, and reached out to wipe away his tears.

Turning his head hastily, he glanced at the cloak on his shoulders, wiped away the tears with his hand, and said coldly, "How do you know I'm here?"

Shen Mo sighed, sat down with Li Zihe, looked up at the gray sky and said, "Someone told me that when a person dies, he will start a new life elsewhere. In the way, in fact, never left, no need to be sad.”

Li Zihe was stunned, nodded slowly for a while, and suddenly thought that maybe what Shen Mo said was correct, everyone would have a new life after death, such as her, but she just happened to remember the things in her previous life.

Shen Mo looked at her red and swollen eyes, his heart twitched, his thin body leaned against the tree trunk, as if being blown away by the wind, he stretched out his hand, gently hugged her to his chest, and said softly: "If you insist on revenge , casualties are unavoidable, and there will be more and more in the future, but if you stop here and stop here, are you willing to let go of that hatred?"

"I can't let it go." Li Zi He Wei blurted out without a trace of hesitation, smiling lightly, tears streaming down his face, and said, "What is 1000 lives? My Ji family's nine clans, the number of dead is more than tens of thousands?"

"Those 1000 people are not ordinary people. You don't need to blame yourself." Shen Mo brushed Li Zihe's face casually, wiped away her tears, and sighed inaudibly. ...There will still be grudges...

Seeing why Li Zi didn't say anything, Shen Mo said again: "What's more, I am the one who decides this matter. I didn't discuss it with you. It has nothing to do with you."

Li Zihe's throat was choked, and he didn't know how to answer. He suddenly smelled a bloody smell, raised his head quickly, and said anxiously: "You have such a serious injury, why did you come out again?"

"It's okay, it's just a skin trauma." Shen Mo's eyes suddenly filled with a smile, and he brushed Fu Li Zihe's hair. People who practice martial arts have internal strength to protect their body, so they will get better faster than ordinary people.

"You should go back and rest."

"I'll accompany you."

Li Zihe's eyes became hot, he turned his head, hugged the urn in his arms tightly, lay half of his body on the ground, leaning on Shen Mo's knee, and said in a choked voice: "Shen Mo, let me lean on it, and it will be fine. "

The long hair spread down the whole knee, Shen Mo slowly followed it, and said softly: "I will confess my identity to you in the future, okay?"

"Ah."

"The road to revenge is destined to be difficult, but, believe me, I will always be with you..."

"Ah."

The setting sun suddenly pierced through the thick dark clouds, revealing a few strands of light. Li Zihe felt that the burden on his heart was suddenly much lighter, and he exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest. The world in front of him was much cleaner and clearer.

Believe it, it turns out that she has always been willing to believe Shen Mo.

I am willing to believe, but I am afraid to believe, I am afraid that I will trust the wrong person again, so I care, I care that he is not honest enough with himself, I care that he conceals his strength and identity, but when he said this, he suddenly felt enlightened, since he is willing to believe, then Believe it, hesitation, indecision, and embarrassment are always yourself.

Silence flowed between the two, but they were exceptionally peaceful and harmonious. Unknowingly, as night fell, Shen Mo touched the dew-stained cloak, broke the silence and said, "Go back to the palace."

"En." Li Zihe got up, as if waking up from a dream, "Can you take me to the cold palace?"

Shen Mo nodded, and said in a low voice, "Tonight is midnight."

When Li Zi saw that his expression was not right, he immediately understood, even once in a while when he went out of the palace, would anyone follow him?

"Will they hear what we just said?" Li Zihe pretended to lean close to Shen Mo and asked softly.

Shen Mo shook his head: "They are afraid of being discovered, so they can see but not hear them thirty steps away."

Li Zihe nodded clearly, and suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly moved away from Shen Mo, the actions of the two of them just now were already very intimate, and they didn't know what they would think when they were seen, but Shen Mo grabbed her arm, and then clasped it Her five fingers, and a slight smile.

"I... I'm a man..." Li Zihe said nervously while shaking his hands.

Shen Mo smiled again, and clasped her hands even tighter, "It doesn't matter. I don't care what others think."

It doesn't matter, Li Zihe's eyes are blurred, Shen Mo who doesn't care about Chen Yinyin, Shen Mo who doesn't care about the eyes of the world, Shen Mo who doesn't care about thousands of lives, who will he care about?
It's too early, and Li Zihe is nestled in Shen Mo's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, he dare not blink, hiding behind the bushes in the cold palace, watching the patrols of the Imperial Forest Army coming and going.

Before Shen Mo told her that the Leng Palace had the Imperial Forest Army in command, she was mentally prepared, but when she came, she was still surprised by the formation. The number of Imperial Forest Army coming and going was actually more than that of the West Palace, and it did not decrease after a while.

"Go south!" Li Zihe said softly.

In the past, the further north you went, the more secluded it was, but after a few laps, Li Zihe found that the more secluded the place, the more imperial guards there were, and perhaps there would be fewer palaces going south.

"Yun Jinyan only asked them to patrol, but did not tell the purpose." Shen Mo explained his doubts in Li Zihe's ear.

The warm breath hit his ears, and Li Zihe turned his head away, and nodded slightly.

Going south, there are fewer imperial guards, and the lights are gradually increasing. At the same time, it also makes people feel that they can't hide any secrets. Li Zihe is a little anxious. It is impossible for Shen Mo to bring her in every day, and he can't get over it by himself. Gongmen, it's hard to come here once today, so you can't get nothing.

"To the west." Li Zihe spoke again, when she was Ji Li, she never came to the Leng Palace, but it is easier to take a detour to the west than to go directly to the north.

The night was dark, walking from west to north, empty palaces one after another, the whimpering sound of the north wind was very scary, Shen Mo led Li Zihe, sometimes hiding in the bushes, sometimes hiding behind the corridor, fortunately he The lightness skill is very good, the footsteps are light, and no one has discovered it.

"I was blocked." Shen Mo said suddenly, his deep voice seemed to be magnetic.

Li Zihe squinted his eyes to see the road ahead, only to find a main hall, which is in front of the left, behind the palace is the wall, and after that should be the North Lake.

Unable to pass through the hall, and the front of the hall is full of Imperial Forest Army, Li Zihe's heart is blocked, I'm afraid this will be the end of the day.

"Forget it, let's go." Li Zihe said softly, and after a little more time, it would be dawn.

Shen Mo also seemed a little tired, sighed and nodded, and was about to hug Li Zihe to leave, when suddenly there was a small "creaking" sound from the palace in front of him on the left, Shen Mo had internal strength, and the night was too quiet, the sound expanded like a loud noise in the ear.

Shen Mo stopped, and Li Zihe followed his eyes. A window in the palace on the left was suddenly opened, and a figure jumped out of it, quickly running towards them.

Then came the voice of the imperial army, shouting: "Stop!"

Shen Mo clenched his hands, grabbed Li Zihe and was about to leave, but Li Zihe stared at the figure with wide eyes, getting closer, closer, and he could see more clearly, that person , that person is Eunuch Hao...
