"Niangniang-the third lady is here!" Qiu'er walked into the house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Whew-" Su put down the azure teacup, Yuan Wan smiled softly, "Please-"
A flamboyant red dress appeared at the door, "Meet the noble concubineββ"
"Third Miss, please get up!" Yuan Wan stood up with a chair propped up, and walked quickly to the door to help her up. The whole movement was too fast, and neither girl reacted. Qiu'er looked at Yuan Wan in a daze, when had Niangniang ever been so polite to others?
"Stand down, all of you!" Yuan Wan's words made Qiu'er stunned again, what Niangniang said in front of them before, what's wrong today? Although she was full of doubts, she still bowed her head and retreated.
"How?" Yuan Wan saw that everyone retreated and closed the door, so she hurriedly grabbed Shen Mo's hand and asked.
Shen Mo broke away from her hand and sat on the stool with a flick of her sleeves. Yuan Wan was slightly embarrassed, but was quickly ignored by the excitement.
"Did I say I was here to tell you about Mu Xuan?" Shen Mo looked at her faintly. Yuan Wan looked at her in astonishment, "Then you-" What are you here for?
Shen Mo stood up, reached out to clamp Yuan Wan's chin, and forced her to look directly at her, "Don't look at me with such a pitiful expression, I know you're not simple." But you shouldn't have tried to calculate me! Shen Mo shook her chin, and Yuan Wan shook and fell on the table. Her eyes flashed, and she looked up at Shen Mo with the unhappiness in her heart, "Where did the third miss start with this?" β
Shen Mo sneered, didn't speak, and took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve, which was the one that Yuan Wan gave her in the palace. Shen Mo threw the portrait into Yuan Wan's arms with a slight force, "I have always had clear grievances, and I hate being used the most in my life, so I have already paid it back, as for the grievances-" She patted her chest, "I remember!" β
Yuan Wan picked up the portrait and lowered her head, she did take advantage of her, but if she didn't try to get the emperor to order Shen Mo to live in the Leng Wang's Mansion, the emperor would never allow her to leave the palace! She was also forced to do so! Wait, what she just said, "Eun has already been returned"! That...... Isn't it......
Yuan Wan suddenly rushed over and grabbed the corner of Shen Mo's clothes, her eyes full of hope, "...... You've found him......"
"Yes, it's a pity that I'm dying~" Shen Mo said with interest on the side. When Yuan Wan heard this, she immediately felt that something exploded in her brain, and she sat down on the ground with a dull gaze......
Shen Mo looked at her like this, with a disdainful glance, why did she know that she was in the first place today?
I don't know how long it took, Yuan Wan finally came back to her strength, she pulled the corner of Shen Mo's clothes, and pleaded: "Please, save him, I can't...... Can't afford to lose him! β
Shen Mo shook off her hand and said sarcastically, "Can't you?" Then why did you leave him to seduce the emperor in the first place? β
Yuan Wan's pupils shrank, and she ...... How did she know about it! "You ......"
"I'm not interested in what is going on between you, if you want to save him, how about a deal with me?" Shen Mo hooked her chin with her fingers and asked half-seductively.
Yuan Wan's eyes flashed, and she said after a while, "Okay! But you're going to take me to him! β
"Naturally!" Shen Mo readily agreed, in fact, she is indeed a smart woman, but it's a pity...... She didn't sympathize with her at all. Moreover, if she couldn't see Mu Xuan, she wouldn't really agree to her conditions.
den
The woman knelt on one knee with her head bowed, and fine sweat oozed from her forehead.
"Xia'er, you and Hongdou are sisters, I thought you would be as calm as her." Leng Lichen stood in front of the desk, with one hand behind him, and the other hand holding a pen and ink to write a big word "stability" on the white rice paper.
Xia Er was startled and said in a panic: "Master, the slave is afraid that the third lady will have an intention against the master. β
"Attempt...... Heh~" Leng Lichen suddenly smiled, and his clear smile was like the light of the sky. "She is the future wife of this king, how can she have no intentions for this king?"
Xia Er was stunned, the master was joking just now!
"Alright, let's go back! I said not to come to me at will, although the secret guard sent by the emperor is not as light as you, but what this king wants is foolproof, do you understand? β
Xia Er lowered her head and said sincerely: "My subordinates understand! β
"Master-the third lady is here!" The sound of a shadow came from outside the door.
Xia Er was startled again, she looked up at Leng Lichen, but Leng Lichen didn't give her any instructions, but said to the door: "Let her in-"
Shen Mo walked in and raised her eyebrows when she saw Xia Er, who was a little helpless and shrunk into the corner as much as possible. Okay, no wonder he was able to cooperate with Yuan Wan so well to get Yuan Wan out of the palace smoothly, it turned out to be because of the girl in front of him! Shen Mo didn't say a word and attacked Xia Er like lightning, but it happened that Xia Er's advantage was light and the speed was not slow. Shen Mo's moves were fierce and pressing, and soon Xia Er couldn't parry and only dodged, but even so, she couldn't support it for long, the more she fought, the more frightened she became, when Shen Mo came in just now, she obviously couldn't feel the internal force fluctuations in her body, but she didn't expect that a person without internal force could be so lethal!
"Hmm~" Just when Xia Er was in a flash, Shen Mo seized the opportunity to slap her, it stands to reason that Shen Mo has no internal strength, this palm is like tickling for a person with internal strength to protect the body, but Xia Er is in pain and cold sweat.
Leng Lichen looked at the shock in Xia Er's eyes, walked to Shen Mo's side, grabbed her wrist and flipped her hand, only to see that there was a silver needle hidden in her palm, and the reason why Xia Er was so painful when she just took a palm was because Shen Mo pierced the silver needle into her acupuncture point.
Shen Mo withdrew his hand, and sure enough, he couldn't hide any moves from him!
"You go back-I guess when Yun Mo taught you martial arts before, he didn't teach you to be distracted when he was competing!" Leng Lichen said coldly.
Xia Er bowed her head, she was wrong! She pulled out her handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, leaving the door as if nothing had happened.
"I'm going to take Yuan Wan to see Mu Xuan!" Shen Mo went straight to the point and said the purpose of her coming here, as for the incident that had just injured Xia Er, she was not embarrassed at all, it was just revenge!
Leng Li frowned, "But Mu Xuan's illness can't even be cured by Mo......"
"I have a way!" Shen Mo raised his eyes to look at him, and his eyes were foggy, making it difficult to distinguish things.
"Okayβ"
Leng Lichen agreed too happily, but Shen Mo was a little surprised, she didn't believe that Xia Er didn't come here to say bad things about her.
"As long as it's what you want to do, I'm not going to stop itβ" he explained. Shen Mo suddenly smiled seductively, slowly approached him, and asked in a soft voice, "What if I want to kill you?" β
Leng Lichen's big hand clasped her waist, and his voice was hoarse, "Then let's die together-"
"Hahahaha-" Shen Mo pushed him away and laughed frantically: "Lord Leng, you are nothing more than that!" β
"Yes, this king is also afraid of life and death!"
His generous admission made Shen Mo stunned, he always felt that something was out of his control, and when he met the man in front of him, he always had a sense of powerlessness.
On the second day, Shen Mo went to Yun Mo to get medicine. There are a lot of people around Yuan Wan, and there is only one way to take Yuan Wan away under their noses without knowing it, and that is to kill them all - of course, this is impossible! The simplest and rude way is to stun them all, ordinary drugs will definitely not work, anyone who practices martial arts can detect it!
"It's a dream scent, and anyone who smells it faints and wakes up and forgets a recent memory." Yun Mo gave Shen Mo the antidote bottle together, Shen Mo just wanted to thank him, but Yun Mo turned around and left without stopping for a moment.
Looking at Yun Mo, who directly ignored her and closed the door of the house, Shen Mo wondered, how could this reaction be the same as Shuli?
Shen Mo stunned the people in Mu Fangyuan with the dream incense, and took Yuan Wan away in a carriage from the back door, for the sake of insurance, Shen Mo also specially asked for a human skin mask for Yun Mo to transform Yuan Wan into a book glass. The two took a carriage all the way out of the city gate, and in a separate courtyard in the suburbs, Shen Mo took Yuan Wan to a room in the backyard. Yuan Wan walked in, and when she saw Mu Xuan lying on the bed with a thin body, tears couldn't stop falling.
Mu Xuan was still awake, he turned his head with difficulty, his pale face made him look even thinner, as if he would be shattered at the touch of it. His hoarse voice squeezed a few words out of his throat with difficulty, "...... Girl...... You...... What ...... cry about"
Yuan Wan cried even harder, she covered her mouth and shook her head desperately. Mu Xuan turned his head to look at the empty roof again, and a hint of mockery hung on the corner of his mouth, "...... I'm going to ...... I'm going to die...... True...... Good ......"
Yuan Wan looked at his loveless appearance, her heart was like a knife, how she wanted to rush over and tell him that she was Yuan Wan, she was back! But she can't, he blames her!
"Let's goβ" Shen Mo patted Yuan Wan on the shoulder and pulled Yuan Wan away. And Mu Xuan on the bed did not have the slightest reaction to the two strange women who suddenly arrived and left suddenly, like a lonely soul wandering in the world.
"How could he be?" On the carriage, Yuan Wan cried with tears on her face.
Shen Mo said slightly sarcastically: "Of course it's thanks to you~"
Yuan Wan didn't speak, just sobbed lowly, and after a while, she seemed to have adjusted the guilt in her heart, and looked up and asked, "Can you really save him?" β
Shen Mo glanced at her, didn't speak, leaned against the wall of the car and pretended to sleep.
"Ding - the player has successfully obtained an assist - please complete the task quickly!" The voice of the system sounded in my head. That's right, Shen Mo has studied carefully, if she really kills Shuli, not to mention that she can't do it herself, Leng Lichen will definitely not let him go, as he said, maybe he will really pull her to die together. Carefully study the reason why Shuli incurs the system's killing intent is just because it prevents her from completing the task of conquering Yun Mo, if she can get Shuli out of here, the threat naturally does not exist!
Yuan Wan rubbed her fingers, looked up firmly and said, "Okay, I believe in you, what do you want me to do?" β
"Force Shuli to leave the Cold Palace-" Shen Mo opened his eyes, and his deep eyes were like bottomless cold pools.
"Why me?"
Shen Mo glanced at her and asked well, I don't know, it was the system that selected youββ!
Yuan Wan didn't get an answer and was not annoyed, her mind was now full of lingering Mu Xuan's skinny sickness. "Good! I promise you, then you ......"
"If you can get Shuli to leave the Leng Wang's Mansion smoothly, I will help you save Mu Xuan." Shen Mo answered, "Tell me about your plan!" β
Yuan Wan was stunned again, listening to her tone, she didn't know if she had the ability to let Shuli leave the Cold Palace, so what did she find her on? Unable to figure it out, she put this on hold for the time being. She looked at Shen Mo and asked with some caution, "Third Miss, have you ever heard of Concubine Li?" β
Shen Mo shook her head, she was not interested in the affairs of the palace.
Yuan Wan patiently explained: "I entered the palace late, but I just heard about it, and it is rumored in the palace that Concubine Li once favored the harem back then......"
Shen Mo squinted at her, are you talking about yourself?
Yuan Wan looked at her and smiled sarcastically, "I used to be very curious about why the emperor only saw me once and then remembered me, and later, I found the answer in the emperor's study - it was a portrait of Concubine Li, and I was surprised to find that I had a five-point resemblance to Concubine Li!" Back then, Concubine Li died in Concubine Shu's palace for no apparent reason, causing the emperor to hold a grudge against Concubine Shu, even with King Leng ......"
"What do you want to say?" Shen Mo interrupted her, although she was shocked that there were such women in the court, she really didn't want to hear too much news about Leng Lichen, she didn't want to be involved with him too much, everything was just for the task!
"Doesn't Miss San think that Shuli and I are three points alike?"
Shen Mo took a closer look, and it really looked a little similar!
"You want to threaten Shuli with this?"
Yuan Wan smiled softly: "It's not a threat, it's a reminder!" I heard that Shuli's whole person has changed since she fell into the water last time, if she really changes, let alone leaving the Cold Palace, she will definitely want to leave the southern country! β
Although she said it with confidence. But Shen Mo was still a little uneasy, after all, Shuli knew too much, and she couldn't guess her purpose.
"Okay, that's it!"
When the two of them returned to the Leng Wangfu, none of the people in Mu Fangyuan had woken up, and there were not many people in the Leng Wangfu, so there was no need to worry about extraneous branches.
Shen Mo returned to the glass courtyard, looked at the book glass sitting in the room and drank herself, walked over and snatched her wine jug, "What, what's the unhappiness?" Do you want to use alcohol to kill your sorrows? β
"Drink to kill your sorrows? Hehe~" Shuli sneered, "It would be nice if you could really get drunk and forget it, the key is whether you are drunk or notββ! Shuli jumped to her feet and retrieved the flask.
Shen Mo looked at the few jars of empty wine on the table, and the corners of his eyes jumped, is this the legendary thousand cups not drunk? Today can be regarded as a living one!
"Eh, eh, eh, I said you can't drink so much, don't drink it!"
"Yes, then you can talk to me! I'm bored to death alone~" Shuli put down the wine jar, his eyes were shining as if he had been washed with water, and the aroma of wine in the air was very intoxicating. Shen Mo couldn't refuse, so he asked interestingly, "You quarreled with Yun Mo?" β
"Noβ" Shuri replied as if she were nervous.
"Come on, if you didn't quarrel, why didn't I see you talk in the past few days?" She asked.
Shuli glanced at Shen Mo, "Okay, there was a quarrel." But - you don't have a chance -"
"What do you mean I don't have a chance, I feel like a junior!" Shen Mo said dissatisfiedly.
"You're not a junior, you're an irresponsible player, the kind that wants to run after flirting!" Shuli glanced at her, and she leaned closer to Shen Mo, "Let me ask you, is the mission really important to you?" Don't you think you're sad? In the past, being an agent was for the task, and you had to be instructed by the system to complete the task, love, affection, friendship, all the special things were done by you as a task, Shen Mo, Shen Mo, what is the difference between you and a robot? β
She poked the top of her head hard, knocking her hairpin off as if she were venting.
Shen Mo raised his head and looked at Shuli seriously, "Shuli, you used to ...... Have you ever considered me a friend? β
Shuli said disdainfully: "I won't treat the person who wants to kill me as a friend!" β
"Then why are you saying these things?" Shen Mo asked.
"Hmph, because I'm a good personβ" Shuli picked up the flask and swayed out of the room, she was probably really drunk to talk such nonsense to her!
