In the past few days, Fulan had tried every means to torture Mo Xi, except for asking her to chop wood and carry bricks. Mo Xi knew that Fulan had the support of the queen, so she had no choice but to endure it. In addition to delivering medicine day after day, the queen mother also

She had no intention of stopping the queen. Or maybe she wanted the queen to torture Mo Xi until she was about to die, and then she would appear as a savior.

For example, this box full of musk.

Even though Mo Xi knew it was poison, he didn't dare to use it. Grandma Wang came quickly and although she was careful to hide it, her little move of deliberately sniffing her body still fell in Mo Xi's eyes.

"Sister Mo Xi." Jin Zixin has often come to Mo Xi's house these past two days to chat about home affairs. She is an only daughter and it is the first time she has been away from home for such a long time. She is inevitably homesick, and Mo Xi's pipa music always carries a touch of sadness, like homesickness.

, Jin Zixin became more and more dependent on her.

"Zixin." Mo Xi was already very familiar with Jin Zixin, so he called her by her nickname. When she saw Jin Zixin coming in with a box in her hand, she asked, "What is this?"

"These are some medicines for activating the meridians. Sister has been suffering a lot these days. If you use this more and rub it, you will feel better faster." After saying that, he took out a small bottle, which contained a clear medicine with a pungent smell.

"The taste is a bit bad, but it is medicine after all, and it is not rouge gouache." Jin Zixin took some out and poured it into his palm, rubbing his stained arms with a very serious expression.

"Zixin, tell me why you are so nice to me." Mo Xi didn't push her away, but all the show girls knew that she was someone the queen didn't like, and everyone avoided her. There were even more discussions in private, but only

Jin Zixin treated her very intimately, which really made Mo Xi curious.

After hearing her question, Jin Zixin slowed down the movement of rubbing his hands, and said with some disappointment: "Most of the families of these beautiful ladies are in love with the prime minister, and the queen is the righteous daughter of the prime minister. My father and the prime minister are not on good terms.

It’s no longer a secret. I guess the queen doesn’t like me anyway, so naturally I’m too lazy to do those things to please.”

"Then you won't offend the queen and treat me, a person she deeply hates." Mo Xi looked at Jin Zixin quietly.

"Sister, don't be surprised. Although the harem has sent many beautiful girls, no one can compare to my sister's appearance. The emperor will definitely like my sister in the future. Zixin's kindness to her is not entirely selfless." Jin Zixin raised his head and looked at Mo Xi.

Speaking of.

Mo Xi suddenly wanted to laugh. She had also said this to Ruyu, but she didn't want someone to say it to her again so soon. But since it was Shadow who said there was no problem, it wouldn't be a bad thing to form an alliance with him.

"Sister, what are you talking about? It's a blessing to have a confidant in this deep palace to take care of each other. We might as well become sisters and support each other in the future." Mo Xi said with a smile.

"Sister, don't you blame me?" Jin Zixin looked up feeling guilty and moved.

"What's the matter? It's just human nature." Mo Xi shook his head, poured two cups of tea, and handed one cup to Jin Zixin, replacing the wine with tea, and the two of them became known as sisters from now on.

The sun was getting lower, Jin Zixin sat here with her for a long time and then went back to his room, while Mo Xi took out a note from under the table.

A few days ago, she put some of the medicine given by the Queen Mother on the letter and sent it to Shadow to see if there was a way to suppress the medicinal properties of musk. Mo Xi didn't want to lose her right to be a mother, and she couldn't go against the Queen Mother's wishes, so she had to rely on

Shadow.

There was a pill wrapped in the note, presumably to neutralize the medicinal properties of musk. I took it into my mouth and read the words on the note: Hurry.

Shadow's urgings have become more and more frequent recently. With Shadow's behavior of lying dormant and waiting patiently all year round, this is a bit abnormal. Could it be that they discovered something about themselves? Or maybe Baili Muyun has revealed something and Shadow has caught wind of it and needs Mo Xi to confirm it.

?

No matter what kind of Moxi it was, she couldn't get confirmation, which was what worried her. Baili Muyun's mind was unfathomable, and she no longer dared to test his mind at will.

The sky is gray and covered with black clouds, and even the air seems as thick as a swamp. This small Zhongcui Palace seems to be covered with layers of breathless oilcloth. Mo Xi is full of thoughts, and even more

I felt dull, so I walked outside to relax.

Zhongcui Palace was built in a rather remote place, not close to the palaces of the main lords of the harem, so the place was quite secluded. A few breezes blew in, dispersing some of the gloomy mood.

In the small pond, the lotuses have revealed their sharp corners, koi carps are swimming among them, and willows are brushing against her shoulders. It is a rare feeling of comfort. Mo Xi suddenly remembered this time last summer, when she and Jun Wuyao were saved, only to be shot by a hunter.

The rabbit with legs. Jun Wuyao carefully bandaged the rabbit's wounds as compassionately as a fairy, gentle and serious.

"Wu Yao, when you rescued me, did you treat me like this rabbit?" Mo Xi asked him at that time.

"You were much pitiful than this rabbit at that time, with wounds all over your body. You are so lucky for a girl to escape from a group of bandits." Jun Wuyao laughed. Mo Xi kept saying that he was just an ordinary musician.

, she was injured the day she met Jun Wuyao, so she lied and said that she had met a bandit and begged him to save her.

Jun Wuyao didn't ask any questions, and hid her and carefully cleaned her wounds. Most of the wounds were on her back. When Jun Wuyao looked at her large snow-white skin, his eyes were still clean and clear, without any lust, and he only said with pity: "

You must be in pain?"

At that moment, Mo Xi fell. He was so kind, so clean and warm, what reason did she have to dislike him? But what right did she have to like him? So Mo Xi hid everything in Pipa and could only face Jun.

Without medicine, her pipa music was filled with affection. This affection was not explained to him until she was arranged to enter the palace.

But Mo Xi has no regrets. She thinks that a smart person like Jun Wuyao must understand. When she gets out of the palace and is free, she will travel with him all over the world. He once said that his favorite is Shu Mountain.

I want to go there and listen to the rain all night.

In the eyes of everyone, Mo Xi seemed to have suffered a lot at the hands of the queen. She probably hoped to leave Zhongcui Palace as soon as possible and end this torturous etiquette training as soon as possible. But only Mo Xi knew that she wished that time would go slowly.

A little, a little slower.

Once she walked out of Zhongcui Palace, she had to climb onto Baili Muyun's dragon bed. The delay lasted only for a moment. There was still a person living in her heart. How could she express her love to another man as if nothing had happened?

?

Baili Muyun treats her well. At least Mo Xi can feel that he has affection for her, but he is the emperor, not a lover. It is her mission, not a husband. It is a bet for freedom, not a lifelong love.

My lover was destined to let him down. Mo Xi clutched his chest, feeling a little sore there.

It was an extremely peaceful afternoon, but it was interrupted by a rude voice, as if scolding someone. Mo Xi put away all his thoughts and looked for the sound...
