Quickly wear: There are always those who are not afraid of death and want to torture me

Moqin's life has returned to the same pattern as a year ago, even more decadent and extravagant.

Cui Yuanjue wished he could take him with him all the time.Although Mo Qin has been canonized as a noble concubine, he is still the chief minister of ceremony and the emperor's personal eunuch.

Li Shi, who had been at the imperial court for decades, had returned home in fine clothes. Besides Mo Qin, the other person serving at the imperial court was a young eunuch.

He is not very old and looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old.He has bright eyes and white teeth, and his eyes are somewhat similar to Mo Qin's.When she smiles, her cheeks will reveal a pair of shallow dimples, which is particularly cute.

The young man's name was Li Yuan, and he was personally chosen by the old eunuch Li Shi, who also recognized him as his godson.

Just as Mo Qin guessed, the boy was a substitute sent to the emperor after he was kidnapped to the northwest.

And Li Shi's original intention in doing this was just not to see the emperor being worried about Mo Qin all the time.

It's a pity that Cui Yuanjue has no interest in this boy.

It is said that emperors are ruthless, but one year later, the emperor still cared about Mo Qin.

After Mo Qin came back, he also observed the young eunuch for a while and found that he was quite honest and diligent in his work. He didn't seem to have any unnecessary thoughts.

So there was no need to embarrass anyone or drive them away. After all, he was Li Shi's only godson, so he simply stayed in front of the emperor as a servant.

The struggle in the court intensified. The fifth prince and the prince fought against each other, much like the fight between the upstart party and the ruling party.

These have nothing to do with Mo Qin.

After he became a royal concubine, his life became more leisurely and luxurious.With the title of noble concubine, no one in the harem dared to go against him.

Although there were inevitably people who would poison and use insidious means, Mo Qin cleverly avoided them every time.

Cui Yuanjue's love for him did not weaken as time went by, but instead doted on him more and more.He even did something like "tearing the silk to make the beauty smile".

After the ministers of the previous dynasty heard about it, they denounced Mo Qin even more.Some officials who were not afraid of death compared Cui Yuanjue to Jie, the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty, when admonishing him.

It's just that they all forgot that as the eunuch of the palm print, Mo Qin had the right to handle part of the memorial.

Naturally, those articles that were unfavorable to him never reached Cui Yuanjue's hands.

However, some of the memorials that were withheld were related to the fifth prince.All were covered up quietly by Mo Qin.

Cui Qiu actually knew a lot about the fact that he used the gold medal to protect the prince, but he never asked about it.

A great opportunity to cut off the prince's power was lost, but Cui Qiu did not blame him.

But privately, he still maintained close correspondence with him, asking Mo Qin to do some things for him.

The two seemed to have reached some kind of deal in silence.Mo Qin continued to work for his great cause, while Cui Qiu no longer interfered with his personal affairs.

Mo Qin's heart gradually became dead in the sensuality and extravagance day after day in the palace.On the face, he could express an expression that perfectly suited the emperor's mood.

It was as if he had been split in half. His body was indulged in flashy chores, but his soul was already withering and dying.

Another year passed in such a hazy state, and good news came from the border.

Cui Yuzhen beat the Jin people hard outside Yuebei Pass, forcing them to sign a letter of surrender, promising not to attack Li Guo again for 50 years.

After receiving the news, the emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed and ordered to summon the prince back to Beijing.He took Mo Qin to greet him in person.

He had forgotten the vow that Mo Qin had made to never see Cui Yuzhen again.

At the palace banquet celebrating the victory, he touched Mo Qin's hand and praised the prince's bravery.

After two years of training, Cui Yuzhen has grown into a qualified soldier.The sickly and squeamish look on his body has long since disappeared, his body is strong and burly, and his skin is much darker in color.

After Cui Yuanjue finished speaking, he stood up, toasted to the two people on the main seat from afar, and said in a deep voice: "I wish my father a long life and good health, and I wish your concubine happiness and peace." After saying that, he put the wine in the cup. He drank the liquid in one gulp, and his posture was very heroic.

Mo Qin agreed with a slight smile and sat back next to Cui Yuanjue. There was no unnecessary expression on his face from beginning to end.

Seeing this scene, Cui Qiu's eyes darkened as he thought of something.

After the prince returned to Beijing, the battle between him and Cui Qiu became more intense.

And the noble concubine who was favored by His Majesty naturally became someone that both parties wanted to win over.

Even though they knew that he was probably working for the fifth prince, the queen and the queen mother still came to Mo Qin with licking their faces and tried to recruit him into their group several times, but he always rejected them.

Another year passed, Cui Yuanjue's physical condition deteriorated rapidly, and the imperial doctors were helpless.

At the emperor's 42nd birthday party, he drank a glass of wine given by the imperial concubine and then passed out.

Mo Qin calmly ordered the Jin Yiwei to control the scene, quickly brought Cui Yuanjue back to Qianqing Palace, and found his most trusted imperial doctor to diagnose his pulse.

After a quarter of an hour of careful examination, the imperial doctor shook his head at Mo Qin.

He said: "Your Majesty has been seriously ill, I'm afraid he will be sick in the next few days."

After hearing the news, Mo Qin couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked at the unconscious man lying on the bed. He still had that handsome face. It seemed that even if he was about to die, the gods would not take away his beauty.Only a few strands of silver hair between the temples showed some signs of inadequacy.

Mo Qin closed his eyes and said to the imperial doctor: "Please be sure to block the news. In particular, do not mention the condition of His Majesty's dragon body to anyone."

The imperial doctor nodded and left with the medicine box.

The young eunuch Li Yuan followed Mo Qin every step of the way. He had never seen such a scene before, and asked them in a panic what they should do now.

Mo Qin said calmly: "Ask the Royal Forest Army to come and blockade the Qianqing Palace, and tell the public that Your Majesty has been infected with the cold and will recover in a few days of rest." After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something and asked sharply: "That Lin just now Where is the imperial doctor?"

Li Yuan was frightened by his momentum, pointed in the direction of the palace door, and stammered: "Lin... Doctor Lin just... left."

Mo Qin frowned and said urgently: "Bring him back quickly. We must not let him step out of Qianqing Palace in the past few days."

"Not just him, but other servants of Qianqing Palace cannot let them have contact with the outside world. Find the people from the Royal Forest Army and Jin Yiwei immediately!"

Seeing that Mo Qin's expression was unprecedentedly serious, Li Yuan crawled on the ground and ran to do something.

Mo Qin walked to the dragon bed, rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat on Cui Yuanjue's forehead with a wet towel.

On this day, he was actually not prepared in his heart.

Mo Qin was not idle during the few hours after Li Yuan left.

He found a blank imperial edict and prepared pen and ink in advance.Then he stayed in front of Cui Yuanjue's bed, quietly watching his sleeping face.

When it was almost Haishi, Cui Yuanjue finally woke up.

Mo Qin brought him a bowl of hot water. After he regained some strength, he spread the imperial edict in front of him and handed him the pen and ink.

He said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing for you now is to choose who will inherit the throne. Have you decided?"

Cui Yuanjue's eyes were withered and cloudy, but they suddenly brightened up when he heard these words.

He looked at Mo Qin, with a strange smile on his face: "What about you, Qin Qin. Who do you think among the princes can best take on the big responsibility?"

Mo Qin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is joking. How can I arbitrarily comment on the affairs of the general government?"

Cui Yuanjue said: "Qinqin, I really can't understand you these years. You are obviously working for Lao Wu, but your heart seems to be towards the prince."

The calm and simple words sent a chill down Mo Qin's back.It turns out that the emperor actually knew about his little tricks...

As he spoke, the edict had already been written.However, Mo Qin took it over and saw that the name of the most important successor was blank.

Cui Yuanjue said calmly: "I never thought that I would go so early. I actually haven't thought about who to pass the throne to. The only two people who can take on the big responsibility are the prince and the fifth child."

"Originally, the throne of the emperor was supposed to be passed on to the prince, but he dared to covet his father's people. It really chills me."

"Lao Wu has a good reputation and is very clever in his methods. He is just narrow-minded and doesn't know whether he should be an emperor or not."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh: "This is really hard to choose. Qinqin, why don't you make this decision for me."

Mo Qin did not expect that the emperor would say such a thing, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please stop joking. How can I, a eunuch, know anything about the succession of the throne? This is a major event related to Dali's future national destiny. Naturally, it is your decision after careful consideration." .”

Cui Yuanjue did not embarrass him much after hearing this. He closed his eyes tiredly and said, "I'll think about it again, think about it again..."

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Li Yuan hurriedly entered the palace and said anxiously to Mo Qin: "Your Majesty, there are many people outside. The prince and the fifth prince are here. They said they want to see your majesty, but they all He was stopped by Jin Yiwei."

Mo Qin was also a little nervous. He tried his best to calm down and asked calmly: "Is there anything else?"

Li Yuan nodded: "And... the Queen and the Queen Mother. They clamored to see His Majesty, and said that if His Majesty dies, it will be your fault... and they want to charge you with murdering His Majesty."

Mo Qin's eyes were cold, showing determination and perseverance, and his tone was calm: "Don't worry about them. Even the queen and the queen mother must be stopped outside the palace together. Remember, no one is allowed to come in!"

In the early morning, the situation outside was a little more serious.People kept shouting inside, saying that if they were not allowed to see the emperor again, they would force their way into Qianqing Palace.

Relying on his strong determination, Mo Qin ordered the people outside to guard the palace gate. If anyone dared to take action, they would be treated as traitors and executed on the spot.

This calmed down the commotion.

But Mo Qin knew that the calm was only temporary, and the people outside were running out of patience.By then, if the imperial edict of passing the throne is no longer certain, the palace will inevitably fall into a bloody storm.

At three o'clock in the morning, Cui Yuanjue finally woke up.

He looked deeply at Mo Qin's stunningly beautiful face, held his hand, and said the last words of his life:

"Qinqin, pass the throne...pass the throne to the crown prince!"
