Chapter 41: Like an old friend
Baili Muyun's words gave Mo Xi a chill all over. Sure enough, the Queen Mother summoned her for a reason. Is the front a dragon pool or a tiger's den?
The Queen Mother was lying on the couch, her eyes were closed and her lips were white. There was a silk handkerchief on her head. When Grandma Wang saw Mo Xi coming in, she left with a group of maids, as long as Mo Xi took good care of the Queen Mother.
Mo Xi changed the silk handkerchief for the Queen Mother, knelt down and stepped on it, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
"Mo Xi, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
"I believe that evil will never prevail against good." Mo Xi lowered his head and replied.
"Huh, evil can't prevail against good? Who is the winner in this world, who is the good!" The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, and stretched out her smooth and jade-like hand. Mo Xi took it and helped her sit up, and then gave her a hand behind her.
The Queen Mother put a soft cushion on it.
"You are very similar to an old friend of the Ai family." The Queen Mother spoke slowly, looking at Mo Xi with a somewhat erratic look in her eyes, as if she was recalling distant events, "Back then, she entered the palace with the Ai family. They were as close as sisters.
I don’t want to end up..." At this point, the Queen Mother stopped and did not continue, but the look in her eyes at Mo Xi frightened her.
It was hatred, extremely deep hatred! It was like a hatred that could never be resolved, and it made Mo Xi's hair stand on end.
"Mo Xi, the Ai family doesn't want to embarrass you, but you have to listen to the Ai family." The Queen Mother did not go on to talk about the past incident that confused Mo Xi, and only said this to Mo Xi.
"Mo Xi remembers the Queen Mother's teachings."
The Queen Mother didn't speak for a long time, seeming to be hesitating, "What do you think of the fish always present?"
Sure enough, she knew about Ruyu's lameness, but did she know who was responsible? Mo Xi carefully considered his words before replying: "Maybe Yu Changzai really angered the Holy One?"
"
"Don't talk to the Ai family, tell them what's on your mind." The Queen Mother's indifferent tone revealed some displeasure, "What the Ai family wants to hear is the truth."
Mo Xi lowered his head and frowned, then said: "Yes. The cause of this matter is that Yu Changzai did not know how to behave. The Queen is the head of the Sixth Palace, and Yue Concubine and Yu Changzai have nothing to do with themselves.
The master punished them. After all, they were the ones who made the mistake. She may have been worried that the Holy One would not come forward in person, so she disturbed you, the Queen Mother. But maybe..." At this point, Mo Xi stopped, feeling a little uneasy.
Look at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at Mo Xi: "Maybe what?"
"Perhaps the Queen knows that what she has done in the past has offended you, the Queen Mother, and she wants to show that she is willing to listen to your orders at all times and hopes that you will forgive her past willful things." Mo Xi said, "So,
The fact that Yu Chang breaks his leg probably has nothing to do with the Queen."
"Then who do you think it is?" the Queen Mother asked her.
"There are many concubines in the harem, and I dare not speculate casually." Mo Xi really didn't know who did this.
"You can be considered a smart person if you can reveal that it was not the Queen's fault." The Queen Mother was somewhat relieved, at least Mo Xi was an understanding person.
"The queen is more sensible than before, but her scheming is not very satisfactory, and her appearance is ordinary, so she cannot keep the emperor's heart. The Ai family cannot count on her for many things. Mo Xi, are you willing to do things for the Ai family?
?" The Queen Mother sat on the soft couch and waved to Mo Xi to sit next to her.
Mo Xi felt in his heart that this step was finally coming. The Queen Mother had observed her for so long and sharpened her for so long, and now it was time to use her as a beautiful chess piece.
"Mo Xi, thanks to the Queen Mother's care these days, is naturally willing to serve the Queen Mother." Mo Xi knelt on the ground and said sincerely.
"Don't you complain that your family has kept you in the snow for so many days?" The Queen Mother looked at Mo Xi quietly.
"Mo Xi knows that everything the Queen Mother does is for Mo Xi's good. Mo Xi only needs to act according to the Queen Mother's will." Mo Xi said.
"This is what the Ai family likes in you. You are smart but don't act smart, and you are obedient but not blindly obedient to orders." The Queen Mother said, "Serve the Ai family well, and the Ai family will be indispensable for your benefits. Good clothes, good food, and a hotbed."
Whether it's a head warmer, whatever you want, the Aijia can give it to you, so that you can live a life like a master."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Mo Xi bowed again, "Don't be busy thanking me for now. The Ai family doesn't want the harem to be too noisy. You should help the Queen more in the future, understand?" The Queen Mother always spoke in a plain voice.
.
What does the Queen Mother mean when she doesn't want to make too much noise? She selected all these beautiful ladies. Could it be that...
Mo Xi didn't dare to think about it anymore. She finally knew why the Queen Mother summoned her alone, but this reason chilled her to the bone! Queen Mother, Queen Mother, do you want me to be your executioner?
"Concubine, I obey!" Mo Xi knelt deeply on the ground, his lips trembling!
After exiting the inner room, Mo Xi's face was expressionless, his face was frighteningly white, and his expression was in a trance, as if he would fall down at the slightest touch.
Shangguan Wanwan and Eryu supported the weak Mo Xi. They didn't know what kind of thing could make Mo Xi so scared.
"What's wrong with you, little master?" Eryu asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." Mo Xi shook his head and forced a smile. Eryu glanced at Shangguan Wanwan and saw that she was also frowning and didn't dare to say anything more.
Mo Xi said that he was unwell and could no longer serve the Queen Mother with his sick body, so he returned to Chuxiu Palace first.
The Queen Mother in the inner room was drinking hot tea handed over by Grandma Wang: "How is she?"
"Very scared."
"Hmph, that little bitch killed herself before waiting for the Ai family to take action. Today she dares to pretend to be a ghost and scare me. The Ai family will always get a bad breath!" said the Queen Mother in anger.
"But after all, she is not the same person back then." Grandma Wang sighed.
"You should know why the Ai family chose her!" The Queen Mother's vicious tone made people feel chilled in their hearts.
Eryu carefully helped Mo Xi back to Chuxiu Palace. The rain was so heavy, but Mo Xi refused to hold an umbrella. The pouring rain made people feel chilled to the bottom of their hearts. Mo Xi couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, but he finally
Still not cruel enough, otherwise why would it be so difficult to choose pain?
After returning to Chuxiu Palace, Mo Xi fainted.
Falling ill on the bed, Mo Xi coughed so hard that it made people feel distressed: "Aunt Huan, can you ask the emperor to come and see me?" Mo Xi was really scared and looked at Shangguan Wanwan helplessly.
Shangguan Wanwan looked at her devastated look and didn't know what kind of shock she had received from the Queen Mother. However, she felt a little sad that such a weak woman had to struggle to survive in the violent storm. She nodded quickly and only expressed relief.
Everything will pass for her.
After midnight, Baili Muyun came to Mo Xi's room. Mo Xi sat on a wooden chair by the window in the inner room, holding a pipa but not playing. The moonlight shone on her face, it was obviously summer.
