Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The night breeze was cool, and there were few people in the market.

Mo Che hurried across the market and came to Tongji Hall.

The other shops on the long street have closed their doors to thank customers, only Tongji Hall is still lit, and the door is half-closed. From a distance, you can hear faint conversations coming from inside, and there are several yamen outside the door. People guard the door.

Something really happened.

Mo Che frowned slightly, and stepped forward, just as Sun Yuzhou bent over and retreated with a pale complexion.

"The matter of Tongjitang was indeed not handled well by the lower officials. The group of ordinary people clearly wanted to let go of the burden of their mother-in-law, and took advantage of the opportunity to blame Tongjitang for money. Thanks to His Highness King An for finding out the truth and restoring Tongjitang's innocence. .”

He said loudly by the threshold, his face turned from white to red, he really felt that it was too embarrassing to admit his mistakes in front of his subordinates.

In the room, Li Chen just sipped tea indifferently, and after listening to what he said, he just glanced at him lightly.

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. However, if Mr. Sun continues to target Tongjitang, this king will never forgive him lightly."

"Yes." Sun Yuzhou's face was full of bitterness, and he lowered his head not daring to disobey.

No matter how much the person in front of him is targeted by the emperor.

After all, he is also an important member of the royal family. As long as he does not commit any major incidents, even the emperor cannot remove him from his position. They, a group of officials, can only bow their heads when they meet.

Li Chen said again: "I don't mean to embarrass you today, but... Xia Bai'an is a close friend of this king. She only does some business on weekdays, but she is always targeted by people who care about you. But in the future, I'm afraid I will ask Mr. Sun to take care of him more, do you understand?"

Sun Yuzhou's eyes were even colder.

take care of?

Does Xia Bai'an use him to take care of him?

When the Taiwei didn't trust Mo Che, this Xia Bai'an had already dared to overturn the case in court.

Now, An Wang Lichen has clearly been reprimanded by the emperor, and now he dares to come forward to defend Xia Bai'an, making him more and more suspicious that there is something between Li Chen and Xia Bai'an...

After all, Xia Bai'an was promoted all the way back then, first he asked for a position for Mo Che, and later he became an imperial physician through the empress dowager.

If there is no one to help behind it, it really can't be justified.

"The next official understands the meaning of the prince, and will definitely pay attention."

"Ah."

Li Chen replied lightly, but his eyes moved from Sun Yuzhou's body to the outside, and suddenly he curled his lips and got up, "It's getting late, I'm going back first."

"Congratulations to the lord."

Sun Yuzhou and the group from Tongji Hall saluted one after another.

Li Chen took Kang Heng away, but instead of taking the main road directly, he turned directly into the narrow alley next to him. After walking five steps, he stopped and stared at the figures in the depths of the alley.

"Mo Che." Li Chen read out the other party's name.

Mo Che opened his eyes in the darkness, not surprised by Li Chen's arrival, his thin lips parted slightly.

"I didn't know when Bai An had such a bosom friend as Wang Ye."

"That's really a coincidence. This king doesn't even know how the person who died more than ten years ago survived under the threat of this king, and even climbed to the position of captain."

Li Chen's gaze gradually became sharper.

The dark clouds above the head dissipated, and the bright moonlight poured down instantly, illuminating the cheeks of the two, and it was enough for the two to see each other's face clearly.

He also saw the hostility and vigilance in the opponent's eyes.

Li Chen took a step forward: "You have already dealt with Cen Yishan and Fang Houde, next, are you going to attack this king?"

Mo Che said nothing, just looked at him.

Li Chen looked into the eyes of the other party, and continued: "Mo Che, don't always think that I chased you so ruthlessly back then. When you were training hard to break free from the humble family, this king...was just an old man at that time. Children, they just want to live."

"If the prince really wanted to spare my life, he wouldn't have sent people to torture me in every possible way in Yunmai Village," Mo Che said.

Back then, Cen Yishan had been watching his every move, intending to kill him.

Li Chen chuckled lightly: "You know too many things, how could this king save your life. But now, you have become a captain through Xia Bai'an, and you have risen all the way, this king thought, since you are so promising, It's better... you and I still go hand in hand, the original plan, this king will bring you."

Mo Che looked sideways: "The plan doesn't matter. I just wonder, is it because the prince wanted to win me over that he came close to protect Bai An, or..."

"She is no longer worthy of the position you have climbed up now."

Li Chen suddenly raised his voice, interrupted his words, and patted his shoulder lightly, "As long as you want, this king can find you a better wife."

Mo Che brushed his hand away.

He didn't look at Li Chen more, and passed him by.

"My lord continue to treat me as an enemy, Bai An, I won't let it go."

"..."

Li Chen frowned, and turned to look at Mo Che, but the figure of the other party had disappeared into the narrow alley.

Kang Heng also had no intention of chasing after him, instead he just lowered his face: "My lord, my subordinates feel that it is not a good thing to continue to provoke Xia Bai'an."

"Why?"

"Mo Che, he is no longer the kid in Zizhu County. He doesn't seem to care about your plan, and keeps mentioning about Xia Bai'an, which shows how much she treats Xia Bai'an..."

"Kang Heng. If there is no one fighting for something, it is not considered a good thing."

Li Chen smiled and left from the other side, but the desire in his eyes gradually grew stronger.

What he wants, he will always get it step by step.

As for what others want from him...

Erase is the only option.

……

Mo Che left the narrow alley, just took two steps when a figure flashed across the wall.

"Father really wants me to help you with all my strength, but...you are hiding too many things. Wang An met Li Chen when he was young, and he was born in Mo Che, Zizhu County. He pushed me to the side of the fifth prince...and found out about your other things. secret."

Ao Pingchuan fell gently from the top of the wall, with no sound under his feet.

Mo Che stopped in his tracks: "Secret?"

"In Yunmai Village, except for Cen Hanshan who was staring at you, the fifth prince didn't pay attention to your life and death. He has been indulging in the news of the death of the prince and concubine... Then in Yunmai Village, what did you use? Something restraining Cen Yishan?"

Ao Pingchuan walked towards him, eyes full of vigilance.

And the matter of Pan San and Yun Xuan...

But he didn't plan to ask all the questions in one go today, after all, it is still unknown whether the other party is telling the truth.

Only then did Mo Che look at him: "The dean of Baichuan Academy only predicted my future. Do you think the emperor will really let me die like this? Or... just with Xia Bai'an's words, the emperor will really let me die." You gave me the position of lieutenant, do you think this is normal?"

Ao Pingchuan's pupils shrank: "But you didn't know King An, how could the emperor..."

"No one knows." Mo Che raised his eyes, aimed at Ao Pingchuan's eyes, and made a silent gesture, "You and I are barely friends, I just remind you, it's best not to disclose these things to others, otherwise ...I will demand a price from your adoptive father and sister-in-law."
