Heartthrob Substitute Counterattack Manual [Transmigration Book]

From inside Yin Meiren's palace, she was escorted all the way outside the palace.

Mo Tianran signaled her several times not to be so polite, but Yin Meiren always cared about her superiority and inferiority, and insisted on being polite.

Mo Tianran stopped persuading him, walked out of the hall, turned around and looked at Yin Meiren, who was looking at his blessed body, she was still slender and slender, like a weak willow in the wind, swaying gracefully, making people look forward to it Compassionate and compassionate.

Such beauty and demureness, gentleness and elegance are most in line with Emperor Chenglin's liking, and it's no wonder that he was named a beauty after only three or four years in the palace.

Mo Tianran nodded slightly to Yin Meiren, turned around and got on the sedan chair.

The falling curtain covered everything outside the hall, and also covered the smile on Mo Tianran's mouth.

People can be so different.

This Yin beauty has extraordinary acting skills.

On the way back to the Imperial Hospital, after walking for a while, Mo Tianran felt that the sedan chair was moving slowly, so he put away his thoughts and opened the curtains.

Lin Ruomei, who was standing outside the window, immediately whispered, "Go back to Imperial Physician Mu, and Master Xiao Ling and Xiao are in front of you."

Lin Ruomei stopped talking halfway.

He had been in the Imperial Hospital for a long time, and because caring people, such as Mu Liang, mentioned the relationship between Mo Tianran and Xiao Ling intentionally or unintentionally, he had inadvertently heard some of them.

Seeing Xiao Ling at this time, he subconsciously wanted to remind Mo Tianran whether he should avoid suspicion.

Mo Tianran may not know, but Lin Ruomei was very annoyed and heartbroken when she heard the unwarranted comments of the villain in private.

When Mo Tianran heard the words and looked forward from the window, he saw Xiao Ling walking on the long corridor wearing a really beautiful white embroidered official robe, with no one serving around him, which was very abrupt in this palace.

Mo Tianran smiled, laughing that Xiao Ling still had such a detached and free and easy personality.

He remembered that after getting married, he had never seen Xiao Ling again.

One is that the jealous person in the family is too choking, it's okay to choke him, he likes it, and he feels sorry for choking Xiao Ling, an innocent friend.

The second is that the two are busy with each other, and they really don't have time to talk to each other.

Mo Tianran naturally understood Lin Ruomei's meaning.

He stared in Xiao Ling's direction and pondered for a moment before asking people to stop the sedan chair.

Mo Tianran got off the sedan chair and told Lin Ruomei, "You go back first, and I'll go back to Tai Hospital later."

Lin Ruomei hesitated to speak, but before she could say anything, Mo Tianran went forward alone to chase Xiao Ling.

He frowned and stared at the backs of the two of them. Seeing that they were talking, even though Xiao Ling only showed his profile, he could see his surprise when he saw Mo Tianran.

Lin Ruomei's heart was slightly anxious, she sighed, and had to leave with the bearers.

"Brother Xiao, where are you going?"

In front of Xiao Ling, Mo Tianran didn't use the etiquette early on.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, and it was no longer as cold as snow, but like the gentlest spring in the mountain stream, swaying people.

"To visit my aunt."

Mo Tianran understood, his shining eyes drooped slightly, then raised again, restraining his smile, "I'm sorry, I've also heard about Concubine Li's punishment."

Xiao Ling's smile faded slightly, "Yes, I'm afraid she's in a bad mood, so I'll visit her more often."

The two walked to the corridor on the second floor, and palace people walked by from time to time, seeing the two hurriedly bowed down, then hurriedly got up and left.

Mo Tianran raised his eyes to look at the glowing ground illuminated by the sun, and looked away, "Brother Xiao is very filial."

Xiao Ling smiled, this time the smile faded a lot.

"I haven't seen Concubine Li since I entered the palace, and now I will go with you to visit." When Mo Tianran said this, his eyes were fixed on the neat red stone bricks in front of his feet.

Xiao Ling showed his face again, "That's fine, my aunt has always said that she wants to see you, but she has no chance. It would be great if you went to visit her."

Mo Tianran smiled, "Concubine Li is flattering you."

The two walked down the corridor and entered a garden, without speaking for a while.

After a long while, Xiao Ling walked past a lake before opening his mouth.

"You...and the Tenth Prince..." He had a look of embarrassment on his face, and after a pause, he asked again, "How are you doing?"

This was the most normal questioning, but Mo Tianran could clearly see the sourness in Xiao Ling's words.

He was slightly taken aback, and suddenly thought of the only time Xiao Ling lost his composure in front of him before, when he was drunk and called him the Tenth Prince.

At that time, he didn't know that the tenth prince was He Jinxi, those words sounded nothing, and he even sighed for Xiao Ling.

Now that I think about it, my intuition is subtle.

However, Mo Tianran thought that Xiao Ling had also met He Jinxi before, and the two of them were at war, yet they didn't recognize him as the tenth prince?

He thought again of the days when he faced the Tenth Prince unknowingly.

The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

So far, it's really not easy for He Jinxi.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Ling's gloomy face, feeling a little sympathetic.

I don't know how Xiao Ling would feel if he knew that the tenth prince was He Jinxi who almost had a fight with him.

Is there a feeling of being in love with the wrong person?

"It's okay." Mo Tianran replied briefly, not wanting to talk too much and hurt Xiao Ling's heart.

This answer obviously did not reassure Xiao Ling, "Shang Ke, is it good or not?"

Mo Tianran never thought that Xiao Ling missed He Jinxi so much, and his chest actually overflowed with sourness.

But he was not as broad-minded as He Jinxi, but he was not sure whether what Xiao Ling wanted to hear was good or bad.

Xiao Ling raised his eyes, saw Mo Tianran's expression was troubled, and hurriedly said, "Don't be embarrassing, I didn't mean to pry into the privacy, it's just..."

Xiao Ling looked at him sincerely, "I hope you can live well." Although his heart was bitter, his words were sincere.

"You all attach great importance to me, so naturally I wish you two to be happy and happy." Xiao Ling said, "It's just that you don't want to marry him, so I asked this question."

His words are sincere, and Mo Tianran can naturally see that he is really a good person who thinks that his sweetheart is married to him, and he can still send such blessings to himself.

Mo Tianran was moved and also heaved a sigh of relief, but after all, he was concerned about his feelings and concealed a little, "Jinxi and I are friends, and the relationship is easy to cultivate."

Xiao Ling was shocked by these words. He smacked his heart carefully, and his face gradually became more regretful.

Did he miss it again...

If back then, he had made up his mind to take him away, wouldn't today be...

But there is no possibility, and there is no present.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao?" Mo Tianran watched his expression carefully, "What's wrong with you?"

Once Xiao Ling came back to his senses, he turned his dejected eyes to him, and Mo Tianran was taken aback. He had never seen Xiao Ling so lonely.

"It's okay." Xiao Ling quickly collected his emotions, "I'm just happy that you and Your Highness are doing well."

That's all, as long as everyone is living well, that's all.

No matter what, as long as you have a good word, you can do it.

Mo Tianran looked at him with concern, and sighed in his heart, why did he feel sorry for Xiao Ling, but if he had known that He Jinxi was the tenth prince, what would he have done?

Give it to Xiao Ling?Mo Tianran would never do this, and Xiao Ling would not allow it.

They are men, men cannot give in, only fight.

Mo Tianran knew everything and understood Xiao Ling, but the faint guilt couldn't be lingered.

He sighed deeply in his heart, He Jinxi, you are a disaster.

Another walk, round the sparkling lake, and behind a moon gate.

After a long silence, the two, who were a little embarrassed, looked at each other and smiled again.

Xiao Ling thought about it all the way, and although he couldn't completely let go, he finally knew that Mo Tianran was doing well, and he didn't need to worry about whether he took him away that day.

After a long time, he will finally be able to be frank with him again from the bottom of his heart and be friends again.

"Xiu Rong, do you remember that I mentioned to you that the eldest prince wants to win you over." Xiao Ling needed something else to divert his attention, so the serious matter came up.

Mo Tianran paused for a moment, then turned his face to look at him, "I have taken refuge in the Ninth Prince, so it still counts now?"

Xiao Ling smiled, "Of course it counts. The First Prince's appreciation for you has never changed, and so has Concubine Li."

Mo Tianran smiled.

Xiao Ling lowered his eyes and paused, "Now His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince has joined the cabinet, and the First Prince intends to join forces with him. I hope that both you and Your Highness will consider cooperating with the First Prince."

In front of Mo Tianran, Xiao Ling didn't want to go around in circles. He just spoke up when he had something to say, and if it was inconvenient, he also spoke up.

He Yuancheng's thoughts couldn't be hidden from He Jinxi at all, and Mo Tianran had already known about it.

He didn't agree to Xiao Ling directly, thinking of the great things that He Jinxi would accomplish in the future, he only asked him, "Xiao Ling, brothers are chatting in private, I'll ask more."

Xiao Ling was slightly stunned, and said solemnly, "Say it."

Mo Tianran said seriously, "In Brother Xiao's heart, what is the most important? Is it the eldest prince, concubine Li, the Xiao family, or Dafeng."

After he finished speaking, he added, "Brother Xiao, no matter what the answer is, I will keep it a secret for you, and I will guarantee with my life that I will not reveal half a word."

Xiao Ling's expression froze, "What are you talking about? Between you and me, why should it be like this."

He then replied, with burning eyes and endless enthusiasm, "If you have a country, you have a family. Dafeng is better than everything."

Mo Tianran's heart skipped a beat, his blood boiling.

Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, it is a blessing in life to have friends like this.

Mo Tianran sat at Concubine Li's place for a long time.

Concubine Li is worthy of her seal word "Li", her appearance is beautiful and magnificent, a little bit domineering, even though she is a little older, she is still charming.

Even though her face was haggard and her make-up was pale, anyone could see that her condition was terrible these days, which made people feel pity, but they could also see her peerless appearance.

Mo Tianran sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that the eldest prince had inherited the shortcomings of Emperor Shenglin and Concubine Li, and it was not easy to grow into such an ordinary appearance.

He couldn't help but think of He Jinxi, wondering what kind of beauty his mother had to give birth to him like this.

Concubine Li first expressed her gratitude to Mo Tianran for her visit, and Mo Tianran also said some polite words to her.

For example, Concubine Li had a hard time in charge of the harem, and she was supposed to meet her after she entered the palace, but as a man, many things remained the same, and she didn't go with Xiao Ling until today.

He is of the same rank as Concubine Li, but Concubine Li is in charge of the harem, so naturally she should be more respectful if she holds the phoenix seal.

Concubine Li hurriedly said that ten imperial concubines are serious about their words, and they continued to praise how good his natural medical skills are, how he got the Sacred Heart, and how much he admired Yunyun.

After speaking, he dragged Xiao Ling to talk about the family affairs, and asked him to tell Prime Minister Xiao and his family not to worry about her.

It was her fault first, and she was angered by Yin Meiren's words for a while, so she acted impulsively, but unexpectedly, she was pregnant and caused a big mistake. Emperor Chenglin just put her under house arrest, and dealt with it lightly. She is very grateful , will definitely reflect on it, and the Xiao family will do their best to serve Emperor Shenglin.

Xiao Ling agreed one by one, and said something to comfort Concubine Li.

Mo Tianran saw that Concubine Li Gui really loved Xiao Ling very much, and he didn't blame He Yuancheng for being such a coquettish person, Xiao Ling could tolerate it so much.

Knowing how to repay kindness, emphasizing love and righteousness, this is Xiao Ling's label after all.

Concubine Li Gui chatted about the conversation, Mo Tianran listened to it and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He just wanted to use his mouth to say a few words for her in front of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Shenglin, and also intended to win him over and He Jinxi.

It's just that he didn't come here today for this reason, so he nodded and said a few words along the way, and didn't accept the move.

He glanced around inadvertently. Concubine Li Gui is the first concubine in the harem. The palace is luxurious and exquisite. Compared with Yin Meiren's Luhua Pavilion, it can be said that there is heaven and earth, a heavenly palace and a thatched cottage.

This is enough to show that Emperor Chenglin treated her very well.

"Ten Imperial Concubine, what are you looking for?" Concubine Li Gui suddenly spoke, interrupting Mo Tianran's meditation.

Mo Tianran's heart trembled, and he hurriedly laughed, "The palace of the imperial concubine is so exquisite and beautiful, I can't help but take a closer look."

Concubine Li Gui smiled, as if she was satisfied with his words, "Many decorations in this hall are bestowed by His Majesty, so they are naturally exquisite."

Mo Tianran hurriedly nodded and said, "It turned out to be a gift from the emperor, no wonder it is so beautiful, it shows how much the emperor loves the imperial concubine."

Concubine Li Gui smiled, showing a trace of sadness again.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling, who didn't speak often, offered a few more words of comfort.

Mo Tianran also persuaded him a few words, but he was thinking in his heart, after all, he still underestimated Concubine Li.

It's no wonder that the person who has worked his way up to the highest position in the harem is as simple as it seems on the surface.

When Mo Tianran left Concubine Li's palace, Xiao Ling still stayed in the palace to talk with Concubine Li.

Mo Tianran knew that this was Xiao Ling's move to avoid suspicion. He was moved and helpless in his heart. It was too uncomfortable for a close friend to need such a thing.

The father-in-law who was personally served by Concubine Li sent him out of the palace respectfully.

When Mo Tianran passed by a palace gate in the palace, he saw a slightly familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

He didn't stare at the figure carefully, pretended not to see it and left straight away, with a smile in his eyes.

Mo Tianran returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and He Jinxi was already waiting inside.

Ice cubes the size of half a stone lion are placed everywhere in the house, and the simple electric fan is constantly turning, making the whole room cool.

This simple fan is still attributed to Mo Tianran.

He saw the ladies and eunuchs fanning constantly, which was really tiring, so he thought of making a fan, because he was not good at handwork, and after several experiments, he made this simple fan.

When He Jinxi saw that this thing was very good, convenient and practical, he asked someone to make a few of it, and then found a chance to send it to Emperor Shenglin.

Emperor Shenglin is very happy. After the craftsman's craftsmanship, the wind driven by the fan is more fierce, and when there is something to wait for, the fan can continue to send cool wind. What's more, even if there are no ice cubes, only the fan It can also relieve heat waves.

Emperor Shenglin immediately asked He Jinxi who designed it, and He Jinxi naturally gave all the credit to Mo Tianran.

So Emperor Shenglin gave Mo Tianran a big reward and praised him for his cleverness and ingenuity, and Mo Tianran became famous again for a while.

The whole palace, and even the princes and ministers gradually began to follow suit, making this simple fan, which has been spread to the people, making him famous and loved and admired.

It made Mo Tianran never think that he would have such a miraculous effect just because he was too hot and the people in the Humanistic Care Palace worked too hard.

This is also because there were no fans before the Dafeng Dynasty, and because he happened to be from modern times, had used electric fans, and knew some principles.

But he is not a person who studies manufacturing. Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated to bring over modern technology such as perpetual motion machines and directly bring this dynasty into the electrical age.

The female officer immediately offered soup to relieve the heat, and Mo Tianran took a sip and put it on the table.

He Jinxi smiled, "Why don't you drink?"

Mo Tianran shrugged, "Someone turned over the jar of vinegar again, and the sour smell wafted all over the room, affecting my mood when eating."

He Jinxi took a deep look at him, rarely acted like a child, "Who made you and Xiao Ling so close."

Mo Tianran slowly narrowed his eyes, "It's just right to mention Xiao Ling."

He Jinxi frowned when he saw that his expression was subtle, and there was something in his words, with a bad premonition welling up.

"What does Aifei say?"

The old god Mo Tianran straightened his clothes, raised his legs, raised his chin, and said slowly, "Your Highness and I have known each other for a long time, maybe a few months."

He Jinxi's brows twitched again, his tone was not very good.

In this dangerous time, it is better to stop quietly and not speak, He Jinxi thought silently, sitting quietly on the couch, turning himself into a statue.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mo Tianran snorted, feeling a little angry.

"I don't want to go around with His Highness." Mo Tianran raised an eyebrow and looked at He Jinxi.

His appearance at this moment, he looked so much like a cheap and smug cat, it made He Jinxi feel a little itchy, wanting to masturbate, literally.

But he knows that he must hold back, not be impulsive, and wait for action in order to survive this catastrophe.

"Why did Your Highness never tell the minister that Xiao Ling likes His Highness?" After Mo Tianran finished speaking, he said, "You explain carefully, and I'll wait for you to explain carefully. If you don't explain well, you will be at your own risk.

He Jinxi kept his face, he didn't move before, and now he can't move rashly, if he doesn't move well, the consequences can't be imagined.

Mo Tianran saw that he had been pretending to be dead to avoid the problem, and suddenly became more fierce, "Say!"

He Jinxi raised his eyelids to meet his wrinkled face feigning anger.

At this time, I don't want a cat cub, like a leopard cub, still not lethal.

But it's even more itchy.

Hold back, must hold back!

He Jinxi cheered for himself from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that he still didn't move, Mo Tianran became even angrier, walked up to him, and pinched him, "You still don't say so!"

The cat's paws stretched out, He Jinxi thought, he couldn't help it.

So, after a while.

At the risk of being scratched all over his body, He Jinxi licked the cat.

After everything subsided, Mo Tianran put his legs on He Jinxi's body, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't try to use this method to avoid my question, tell me quickly, what's going on with you and Xiao Ling."

He Jinxi smiled very contentedly, "I really like the way you are jealous for me."

Mo Tianran was taken aback, his face flushed slightly, and he glared at him, "When am I jealous, you are allowed to ask me these things, I can't ask you?"

He Jinxi hurriedly comforted him, "Of course it can. Aifei should answer any questions as her husband."

Mo Tianran had a similar expression on his face, "Then tell me quickly."

He Jinxi smiled, "It's not a big deal at all, I didn't take it to heart, why did I tell you specifically."

When Mo Tianran heard it, it made sense.

Just like him, except for He Jinxi, he didn't pretend to be anyone in his heart, so he wouldn't talk about it with He Jinxi.

If He Jinxi specifically mentioned Xiao Ling, he would be heartbroken.

There is nothing in my heart, why should I mention it.

Mo Tianran turned around and lay on his chest, "I know Xiao Ling likes the tenth prince, but I don't know, and you know it too."

He Jinxi touched his face, "I can't hide anything from you."

Mo Tianran twitched the corners of his mouth, "You are always confident when it is inappropriate."

He Jinxi smiled.

"When I was about to enter the palace earlier, I recuperated my body and deliberately used my internal strength to make myself look weak. When my father found out about me, it was in the midst of a war. He couldn't get away, so he ordered Xiao Ling to pick me up to see him , Xiao Ling seems to..."

He Jinxi paused, then smiled again, "I don't know Xiao Ling very well, but he seems to be a little soft-hearted. Seeing me sick and weak, he felt pity for me and treated me very tenderly. Although I saw through it at the time, he also Don't worry, firstly, no one can catch my eyes, including people like Xiao Ling, secondly, I only want to accomplish great things, and I have no intention of entangled with him."

Mo Tianran frowned, "Hearing what you said, I feel sorry for Brother Xiao."

He Jinxi tapped his forehead, "What are you sorry about, Xiao Ling doesn't really like me."

Mo Tianran hurriedly said, "How can this be? Xiao Ling is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and treats things very seriously. If he doesn't like you, he will call your name when he is drunk."

The corners of He Jinxi's mouth curled up slightly, "Some people can't tell the difference between liking, sympathy, and pity, especially Xiao Ling, who is stubborn, straightforward, has no emotional experience, and has a simple mind."

Mo Tianran glared at him, "Xiao Ling is not simple-minded, he is kind."

He Jinxi narrowed his eyes slightly, "You have a good impression of him."

Mo Tianran glared at him impatiently, "Don't think too much, he is my only true friend in this world."

He Jinxi originally wanted to tell Mo Tianran that he hoped that he would keep a distance from Xiao Ling. After all, one side was intentional, and the other side was ruthless. After a long time, he would notice it, and it was inevitable that he would...

But when he said his only true friend, he sighed in his heart, but he didn't open his mouth after all.

"Then what about me." He Jinxi pretended to be dissatisfied, "What am I?"

Mo Tianran stared at him and laughed, "What do you say you are?"

He Jinxi was serious, "I want to hear from you."

Mo Tianran smiled, "You are the one with the top of your heart."

It was a rare rain, and Xiao Ling glanced at the rain-wet flowers and leaves, which were extraordinarily bright red and green, and the air smelled fresh.

He remembered that Mo Tianran always shouted about the hot weather, and he specially made a "fan" to avoid the heat, and a smile slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

That person, always so funny, surprise him.

After laughing, it is inevitable to be lonely.

Xiao Ling put away his mood and continued to walk along the corridor.

Since Concubine Li was placed under house arrest, the number of people going to her palace has decreased a lot, but as a nephew, Xiao Ling walked around more, so there was nothing to blame.

He was lazy to exchange greetings with others, so he deliberately chose a secluded road. When he passed a moon gate that was not often visited by people, he saw two eunuchs bowing their heads and talking about something interesting. , the shoulders still shrugged.

This is obviously some tongue-chewing, something that those in the palace will inevitably do in their spare time.

Xiao Ling didn't feel relieved and continued to walk forward.

Those two eunuchs probably didn't expect a nobleman to pass by at this time, so they were a little slack and didn't pay much attention to what they said.

"I heard that the tenth concubine and Concubine Li have been very close these days, and have visited Concubine Li's palace several times."

"Why is this? The two Highnesses come here quickly and have no communication."

"That's right, these ten imperial concubines are men, so in order to avoid suspicion, they should not go to the imperial concubine's hall less often, and they are always with Lord Xiao every time."

"Master Xiao is together, that's just to avoid the suspicion."

"You don't know, before the tenth concubine became the imperial concubine, it was rumored in the palace that he has an unusual relationship with Master Xiao. It is said that the three princesses have troubled the tenth concubine for this matter."

"Third Princess? I see that the Third Princess has a very good relationship with the Tenth Imperial Concubine."

"That's now. I heard from the father-in-law in the palace of the third princess that the third princess once called the tenth concubine to his palace to teach him a lesson, just for Master Xiao."

"This..." I heard that the eyes of the eunuchs were about to turn into mosquito coils. It was a messy relationship, so he had to smooth it out.

"However, this is all in the past. No one knows whether the tenth imperial concubine went to see Concubine Li Gui to renew her relationship with Lord Xiao, or to have something to do with Concubine Li Gui, or whatever."

"Don't say such rebellious words, you will be beheaded if you are heard." The eunuch heard that he quickly covered the man's mouth, for fear of being overheard.

He turned his head and looked around, he was relieved to see no other living things except insects and birds.

The man restrained himself slightly after being warned by him, and lowered his voice, "Thank you for reminding me, I just heard what people said, but I don't think it's credible."

"You know it's unbelievable and you still say it, just tell me. It's a dead end to spread the word."

"I know."

"You say it's not credible, what is credible?"

The man lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious and said, "It is very possible that the Tenth Prince and the First Prince will form an alliance to help the First Prince win the heir."

"Really! If His Majesty finds out about this, the Eldest Prince and His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince will fall out of favor, and even the Tenth Imperial Concubine who is in full bloom..."

"That's right, no matter how much the empress dowager loves the tenth imperial concubine, she won't be able to keep him. Although all the princes in the palace have had such thoughts these years, no one dares to be so blatant. Concubine Li and the eldest prince are used to being arrogant and domineering. I forget my form when I am proud."

"This talk is very involved, so don't bring it up again. You don't think it's a big deal just to watch the excitement, but if you really offend the First Prince, the Tenth Prince, the Tenth Concubine, and Concubine Li, wouldn't it be a crime?"

Xiao Ling's figure came silently, and when the two eunuchs saw a little shadow in front of them, it was too late to stop talking.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold, and the two of them seemed to be covered by frozen snow, kneeling on the ground trembling, begging Xiao Ling for forgiveness.

"Stop here, don't mention it again."

Even when the two of them were kneeling, they could feel Xiao Ling's gaze, sharp as an ice pick, poking at their backs. They were even more frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Yes, yes, this servant dare not chew my tongue anymore."

The two kowtowed continuously, as if they were going to break their heads.

"Get up." Xiao Ling pointed to the eunuch who had just dissuaded him, because he still had some brains.

As if he had been pardoned, the man hurriedly thanked him.

The gossiping eunuch remembered what he had said, wishing he could bite off his tongue and kowtow to confess his guilt.

"Tell me." Xiao Ling warned coldly, "Who told you the rumor."

The two of them paused, and the gossip-talker turned his head to look at the communicator. The man was sweating profusely, as if someone had poured a basin of water on him.

"This..." The man hesitated.

Xiao Ling didn't wear a sword when he entered the palace, but his aura and eyes were sometimes sharper than a sword and more frightening.

"Huh?" He lowered his voice.

This sound seemed to come from the icy hell, and the gossipman hurriedly said, "Yes, all the slaves and servants will tell you."

Xiao Ling's aura decreased a little, so that he wouldn't be so suffocating, but his might was still there.

"Don't miss a single word."

On the other side of the Taihe Hall, Mo Tianran was sitting on a rockery pavilion in the garden of the hall to enjoy the cool air. He was feeling refreshed. He heard Tiankui report that there were rumors in the palace recently, saying that Mo Tianran frequently went to the Hall of Concubine Li recently because the Tenth Prince and The eldest prince wanted to form an alliance to seize the heir, and this word had already reached the ears of Emperor Chenglin, which made Emperor Chenglin very displeased, and he was afraid that he would ask for guilt.

Everyone in the palace said that the few His Highnesses touched Emperor Cheng Lin's Ni Lin, and they were afraid that the end would be worrisome.

After Mo Tianran finished listening, he looked at He Jinxi and smiled.

"I won't go to Concubine Li's place once." Mo Tianran smiled, and nodded affirmatively, "It's very powerful, I know how to find the pain points that can most poke my father."

He Jinxi raised his chin slightly with disdain clearly, and the disdain in his eyes never concealed it.

Tiankui also sneered, "It's a terrible thing to do with low means."

Mo Tianran's smile turned cold and contemptuous.

"It seems that I have to go to Concubine Li's place again."

Speaking of going, Mo Tianran went to Concubine Li's place the next day against the rumors of different opinions.

Today, he did not go with Xiao Ling, but went alone.

After entering the hall, not only Concubine Li was sitting in the hall, but the eldest prince was also there.

Seeing him, the two stood up one after another and greeted him politely.

Mo Tianran and the two said hello to each other before sitting down.

Concubine Li ordered someone to watch the tea, and said that the eldest prince likes to drink hot tea, so she changed it for him.

Mo Tianran remained silent, sitting calmly watching the palace servants move.

The two eunuchs each brought tea to the tea table next to Mo Tianran and the First Prince.

Mo Tianran nodded towards the eunuch who served him tea, and looked at the eldest prince.

With a sound of "boom", the tea was poured on the First Prince's coffee table, and the table was spilled with unsteeped tea leaves and boiling hot tea. Even in summer, there was a slight mist on the coffee table.

"Snapped!"

With a resounding slap, the eunuch serving the eldest prince's tea tilted and was knocked down before he could say a crime.

The eldest prince and Xiao Ling both had a master, but Xiao Ling was diligent and studious, while the eldest prince was lazy, so they were not as good at martial arts as him, but after all, they had some foundations.

The eunuch who was slapped by this slap not only couldn't stand still, but also turned over and lay down on Mo Tianran's coffee table, and came face to face with him.

"You stupid thing, you can't even serve tea, are you going to scald me to death!" The eldest prince reprimanded sharply, pointing at the eunuch and cursing.

The eunuch covered half of his face, lowered his head and kowtowed in fear, "Slave is clumsy, please make atonement, the eldest prince, please make atonement!"

Mo Tianran's eyes drooped, and everyone could see that just now, the eunuch didn't deliberately mess with the teacup, but it was a bit of a coincidence that the outstretched hand of the eldest prince touched the teacup's hand.

"Stupid thing, who is this king, I will pay you a few lives if you burn it!" The eldest prince You couldn't get enough of it, so he stretched out his hand and slapped the eunuch again.

Mo Tianran watched coldly, but did not make a sound to stop him.

Concubine Li Gui spoke, "Prince, that's all. Although you are a noble prince, you would not punish the palace servants like this. You were too impulsive today. You must not treat the palace servants like this in the future. If the concubine knows If you continue to punish me so wantonly, I will definitely blame you."

She said to Mo Tianran again, "Your elder brother is usually not so reckless, today I made you laugh."

Mo Tianran hurriedly said, "The imperial concubine speaks seriously."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Li didn't even give the eunuch a look, and said calmly, "Go down, find the steward to wipe your face with some ointment."

The eunuch lowered his head and fell on the ground, hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to Concubine Li, "Thank you, Ma'am, thank you, Madam!"

Concubine Li waved her hand, and the eunuch stepped back.

The eldest prince seemed to calm down a lot when he heard Concubine Li's words, "What the concubine mother said is that the minister is reckless."

He seemed to have just noticed that Mo Tianran was present, and his expression was a little unnatural, "I'm making you laugh."

Mo Tianran waved his hand, "Brother is being burned, do you want me to take a look for him?"

The eldest prince smiled, "That's right, the tenth concubine's ready-made imperial physician is here, and as he said that, he rolled up his sleeves, and help eldest brother take a look?"

A room of female ladies immediately turned around to avoid touching the First Prince's bare arm.

Concubine Li Gui frowned again, and reprimanded, "Imperial son! There are no rules!"

Mo Tianran lowered his head and smiled brightly.

Half a month later, the rumors started and disappeared quickly.

Emperor Shenglin tested He Jinxi and Mo Tianran, but he couldn't find out why, so he didn't move anymore.

It's just that he has a little bit of sympathy with the eldest prince, and he didn't love him before, and Concubine Li Gui has not been released from the confinement for a long time.

In the Taihe Hall, after lunch, Mo Tianran lazily lay on the couch with He Jinxi with his neck propped up.

"There has been no movement for a long time, and they are still cautious." Mo Tianran yawned, and he was always prone to sleepiness after eating in the afternoon.

He Jinxi supported him so that he could lean on him comfortably, but smiled and said nothing.

"Maybe I'm preparing to make a big move." Mo Tianran said again with half-closed eyes, and smiled.

"Are you worried about me?" Seeing that He Jinxi was silent, Mo Tianran said while looking at him.

"I believe in your ability." He Jinxi said, "I just can't help being worried."

Mo Tianran smiled and kissed his lips, "You are routinely worried."

He Jinxi kissed his forehead, "When will it stop worrying me."

Mo Tianran's eyes darkened, "In the harem, this is unavoidable."

He Jinxi's eyes were burning, and then became dark again, "One day, I can do it."

Mo Tianran didn't ask him what you would do, he knew what he would do.

The air became quiet again, just when the two were cuddling each other and were about to fall asleep.

Suddenly there was an eager knock on the door, and then the female official in charge said, "Your Highness, Beauty Yin has been poisoned, and her abdominal pain is unstoppable. I'm afraid the child will not be saved. Your Majesty ordered His Highness to go to the Luhua Pavilion immediately!"
