The king behind the empress

Chapter 98
In this way, Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi, two children over two years old, lived together in the palace for five full years without the company of their parents.

Thinking of those years, the corners of Tang Weiyi's mouth curled up slightly. Although her life in the palace was not very good in those years, every time she thought of it, she had a warm feeling.

What happened to them in the palace was exactly as Mo Cong expected, no one dared to embarrass them, especially the princes who came to give them some gifts when they first arrived.

But no one is embarrassed, it does not mean that everyone will attach importance to them.

All the big shots in the capital knew that Mo Congyi held a heavy army at the border, so no one dared to underestimate Mo Congyi, and they were very respectful towards Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi.

But the little people don't know these things, especially because when the princes competed for the throne before, they also reduced Mo Congyi's influence and blocked the news about Mo Congyi.

What caused Mo Congyi to hold a heavy army at the border is basically not known to many people in the capital.

Therefore, in the view of many small people, Mo Congyi is just a down-and-out prince exiled from the border, there is nothing special about it.

And these little people included those who took care of Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi, so although they took care of Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi because of the order from above, they didn't really care too much, it was just a routine.

Mo Zizai is a little better, after all, he is of royal blood, no matter how "down and out" his father is, no one dares to neglect him, and he is still dedicated to taking care of him.

But Tang Weiyi is different. Although those who serve Tang Weiyi in the palace know that Tang Weiyi's father is a big shot, he seems to be a general or something, but for them in the palace, they have seen the big shot, and for them in the palace There is no difference at all, so the care is relatively careless.

But the people who take care of them have one thing in common, that is, they are all very cold, as if the heavy life in the palace has taken away their smiling faces. In Tang Weiyi's impression, except for the old emperor visiting her and Mo Zizai In addition, she has never seen her maid who took care of her smile at her.

For Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi, this palace was more like a cold prison.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that two people who grew up in the palace, or three people, are dependent on each other.

The original purpose of Tang Weiyi's coming to the palace was to warm and nourish her body with the rare medicinal materials in the palace, but the maid who took care of her didn't pay much attention to these things. Although she would also cook medicine for Tang Weiyi, it was often later. Not only did Tang Weiyi's health not improve, but she became weaker and weaker.

Therefore, the person who boiled Tang Weiyi's medicine later became Mo Zizai.

At that time, in the palace where they lived, a three-year-old boy could often be seen standing by the stove clumsily boiling medicine. Because he was not very good at it, basically every time after boiling the medicine, the little boy The boy was blackened by the smoke.

But the miracle is that no matter what the little boy looks like after being smoked, the soup he brewed has never been mushy once.

"I don't know, brother Mo still remembers how he was when he boiled the medicine for me."

Tang Weiyi's eyes were empty, thinking of the scene of Mo Zizai being ashamed by the smoke at that time, but still holding a bowl bigger than his two hands to let herself drink medicine, a feeling of warmth flowed through her heart.

The two lived in the lifeless palace for six years. Because there was no one to communicate with, Mo Zizai's personality became more and more withdrawn. Except when getting along with Tang Weiyi, he was still the same as before, and was very indifferent at other times.

After that, Mo Congyi was seriously injured and came back from the border. The fourth prince, King Bei'an, fled the capital, but the eldest prince was unwilling and wanted to win.

Therefore, Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi, who were protons in the palace, naturally became one of his bargaining chips.

"Wei Yi, hide at the bottom of the well, don't move around, don't make any noise, do you understand?"

"Brother Mo, I..."

"Do you understand?"

"I... I don't want to go down, I'm with you."

"Don't be willful, hide below, I will come to pick you up."

"I... I will wait for you."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Tang Weiyi was steadily lowered by Mo Zizai to the bottom of the well with a rope, but what Tang Weiyi still can't understand is that Mo Zizai was only seven years old at the time, how could he have the strength to put herself down the well, and the process of falling Still so steady.

At that time, the bottom of the well was very dark, and Tang Weiyi couldn't see anything except a small light at the top of the well, but she could hear the voices outside very clearly.

It didn't take long before there was a sound of footsteps outside. It seemed that many people had come, followed by a loud noise. Tang Weiyi knew that they were probably looking for her.

"My lord, where did Miss Tang go?"

A cold voice came from outside the well, as if he was questioning Brother Mo.

"Hidden."

When facing outsiders, Brother Mo was still as indifferent as ever.

"My lord, can you tell me where Miss Tang is hiding? We were ordered to pick you up. If Miss Tang can't be found, we won't be able to explain it."

"What do I care?"

"..."

The person who made the cold voice seemed to be choked, but soon he said in a serious tone: "My lord, the lord just asked us to take you there, and didn't say that we are not allowed to do anything to you. I hope you don't force me to do it." I."

Hearing this, Tang Weiyi put her hand in her mouth, because she was afraid that she would not be able to help crying later.

Different from Tang Weiyi's worries, Mo Zizai's voice was still very indifferent, "It's up to you."

"you……"

The cold voice seemed to be irritated, and Tang Weiyi didn't know if she did anything to Mo Zizai, because she didn't hear Mo Zizai making any sound.

It may have been a while, or it may have been a long time before Tang Weiyi heard many people persuade the person who made the cold voice, "Commander, forget it, forget it, he is the prince after all."

"Yes, Commander, he is the second prince's heir, and that girl is not. It is enough to bring him back, the prince will not say anything."

"Commander, let's go back first. After all, Director Qiu is still in the palace. Although he won't interfere in the matter of seizing the throne, if you treat the prince like this, if you anger him..."

"Humph."

Hearing his subordinates talking about Manager Qiu, the cold voice seemed a little apprehensive, and he snorted unwillingly, but he didn't say anything, and left directly with Mo Zizai, and the outside became silent again.

Tang Weiyi hid at the bottom of the well alone, and she didn't notice that her fingers were bitten and bleeding. She was not afraid of the dark, she was only worried about Mo Zizai's safety, and worried that Mo Zizai would not keep his promise and come back to pick her up.

PS: There are some wells in the imperial palace. The mouths of the wells are very small and can only accommodate children at most, so it is normal not to look for them in the wells.
