Lock Xin

The sunlight is not very strong, and the shadows cast by the willows fluttering in the wind are mottled.Wang Mo strode across the long corridor, his light-colored clothes fluttered, and the hair that fell on his shoulders danced in the wind, and a little bit slipped into his fair neck.Wang Mo jumped up to the steps in the distance, his delicate face was full of anxiety, he held his sleeves tightly, raised his foot to walk up the steps, and then stretched out his hand to push open the door.

Gai Xiong put down his fingertips on the scroll, frowned slightly, his handsome face showed a slight displeasure, as if he had rarely encountered such a reckless servant.He raised his head slightly to see Wang Mo's face, and his expression softened a little.

"What happened?" Gai Xiong got up and walked to Wang Mo's side. He had never seen Wang Mo so anxious, and his face couldn't help but look a bit dignified.

"Your Highness poisoned the Lord and absconded in fear of crime. Is it true?" Wang Mo pulled Gai Xiong's sleeve with all his strength, staring at Gai Xiong's blue eyes. He didn't believe that His Highness really poisoned the Lord. It must be those maids talking nonsense in private, but when he looked at the guards dispatched from the palace, the glimmer of hope in his heart was instantly shattered.

"How did you find out about this?" Gai Xiong frowned. He was thinking about how to tell Wang Mo about this, or simply hide it from him, but he didn't think that Wang Mo would find out about it before him.

"You have entered the imperial city today." Gai Xiong's voice turned cold in an instant. It is absolutely impossible for the maids in the mansion to talk about the affairs of the palace at will. Moreover, it has not been long since this matter happened, and it will not spread so quickly. .

Wang Mo nodded. After all, he was still a step late. If he had been with His Highness at that time, he would never have watched His Highness be framed by everyone, but what can he do as an ordinary servant, to take the blame for His Highness.

"Didn't I tell you not to enter the imperial city recently?" Gai Xiong said loudly, if they couldn't find the figure of the princess, they might catch Wang Mo and force the princess to show up, and Wang Mo's heart is pure and unprepared .

"I miss His Highness in my heart, and I couldn't bear it for a while, so I sneaked out of the General's Mansion." Wang Mo lowered his head and said in a low voice.It was a mistake for him to enter the imperial city without authorization. He wanted to rush back when he saw His Highness, but he did not expect this to happen.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance, if I rushed back to the mansion and found that you suddenly disappeared, where should I look for you?" Gai Xiong slapped the table hard, his face full of anger, if Wang Mo received a little Injury, he couldn't explain to the princess.

Gai Xiong was even more afraid that the last thing he found was a corpse, what would he do then, the figure of Wang Mo had been engraved in his heart after getting along with him for many days, if he heard the news of Wang Mo's death, he would probably He was extremely sad and even sat decadently by the grave for many days.

It was pure luck that Wang Mo came back safe and sound today. Now that the dark forces are in turmoil, Gai Xiong is worried and worrying every day, and he can't take Wang Mo's safety into consideration at all, but Wang Mo can't understand the worries in his heart.

"This matter is my fault. I am willing to accept your punishment, but I beg you." Wang Mo lowered his head and held Gai Xiong's sleeve. Now the only thing he can ask is Gai Xiong, as long as Gai Xiong can agree to rescue him. Your Highness, no matter what he does, he is willing to do anything, but he is worried that this matter is more serious than that, and it may endanger Gai Xiong's official position.

"What's the use of saying something wrong now." Gai Xiong opened his mouth to interrupt Wang Mo's words, and flung off his sleeves vigorously. If something unexpected happened, he would never regret it, just like he was holding Xiao Xie's body back then. What's the point of saying sorry.

"Then what do you want?" Wang Mo's eyes were gloomy, he was very worried that Gai Xiong would drive him out of the mansion. Impossible to be so stable.

Wang Mo bit his lower lip hard, he didn't dare to beg to stay, he was at fault for this matter, no matter how Gai Xiong punished him, he had to bear it.

"Me." Gai Xiong opened his mouth, what else can he do, the injury behind Wang Mo has just recovered, so he is willing to punish him again.

"Forget it, you will stay in the mansion in the future and you will not be able to take another step." Gai Xiong looked at the slight sadness in Wang Mo's eyebrows and eyes. Maybe what he said today was a bit too serious, but Wang Mo didn't know how much he was worried about him. safety.

"Aren't you going to punish me?" Wang Mo slowly relaxed, as long as Gai Xiong didn't drive him away.

"You can ask me to punish you if you want, if you go out of the house against my order again, you won't have to come back in the future." Gai Xiong said heavily, but he didn't know if such punishment would work against Wang Mo .

"I won't leave anymore." Wang Mo hurriedly said, he really wanted to stay, although he didn't know why every time he left, he couldn't let it go, and even wanted to come back quickly, maybe it was because of the people in the mansion .

Gai Xiong looked at the tense look on Wang Mo's face, and revealed a faint smile. He raised his hand and stroked Wang Mo's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will never take the initiative to drive you out of the house." If Wang Mo If you don't want to go back to the Central Plains, it's good to stay in his mansion all the time, but Wang Mo was born in the Central Plains, so how could he stay in a different place all his life.

"General, can you save Your Highness?" Wang Mo stroked Gai Xiong's sleeve and knelt on the ground with one knee.His Highness was forced to leave the imperial city out of desperation, what would happen to His Highness if those guards found His Highness's figure?And back then, after responding to His Highness's request, the emperor promised in front of all the officials that no matter what happened, he would never send troops to help Zi Xin, and he only assumed that Zi Xin was no longer the prince of Da Chu.

"Wang Mo, get up first." Gai Xiong stretched out his hand to grab Wang Mo's shoulder but did not move.

"I beg you to save Your Highness, Your Highness really will not poison the Lord, he must have been framed." Wang Mo looked at Gai Xiong's face and begged.His Highness never had anyone close to him in the palace, and his humble status was such that he was unable to meet the lord. If His Highness was convicted by the lord, he might not even have the chance to overturn the case.

"Come here, I have something to say to you." Gai Xiong motioned the servants around him to retreat, turned around and walked to the bed.He couldn't explain this matter to Wang Mo at all, this matter is of great importance, and if he is not careful, the master's plan will be ruined, and I am afraid that it will be meaningless for the master to force the princess to leave the imperial city.

Wang Mo got up and walked to Gai Xiong, standing quietly, looking into his eyes nervously.

"You don't need to worry too much about this matter, the princess is safe outside the imperial city and there will be no danger." Gai Xiong comforted, there was only so much he could say to Wang Mo.

"If those guards catch His Highness, how will the Lord punish His Highness?" Wang Mo clenched his fingertips with a little force. It is safe for His Highness to stay outside the city, but there are so many guards in the palace, His Highness will inevitably be punished. They took them back to prison, and poisoning the Lord is a serious crime, which cannot be forgiven at all.

"You underestimate the concubine too. The concubine is the eldest son of Da Chu, not an ordinary person." Gai Xiong chuckled, the prince of Da Chu received training from his master at a young age, although it is not as cruel as the dark guards, But he also has skills.

"Your Highness can't abscond outside the imperial city all day long." Wang Mo felt a little pain in his heart. His Highness has never suffered a bit of pain after being pampered and pampered for many years. I hate that I can't be with His Highness and take care of His Highness now.

"The concubine will be able to return to the lord safely in a few days." Gai Xiong couldn't bear to see the worried look in Wang Mo's eyes, so he added one more sentence.

There was a hint of surprise on Wang Mo's face, he looked at Gai Xiong in puzzlement.

"I promise that the princess is safe and sound, and you also promise me that you will never mention this matter again." Gai Xiong whispered in Wang Mo's ear. After that incident, all the servants in his mansion will not be here. Believe it.

"Don't you believe me?" Gai Xiong asked loudly, although he doesn't have such great ability, but the Lord loves the princess and will never watch her do anything.

Wang Mo shook his head slightly, he was worried that Gai Xiong might be implicated in defending the concubine who had committed a serious crime, "Will the lord punish you?"

Gai Xiong was stunned for a while before he understood what Wang Mo meant, and his expression softened, "I'll be fine." If he is dismissed by the Lord again, how can he protect the king beside him if he has no power or power? ink.

"Thank you, General." There was a gleam of joy on Wang Mo's face, and the worries in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Wang Mo never called me general in the past." Hearing the honorific title in Wang Mo's mouth, Gai Xiong felt a little strange in his heart. There are too many people who respect him, but he has been alone for many years. Empathize with his pain.

Wang Mo saw a trace of disappointment on Gai Xiong's face, he got used to hearing those servants calling Gai Xiong like this every day, besides, he was only a servant and couldn't directly call Gai Xiong by his name.

"Just call me Gai Xiong." Gai Xiong said softly, his eyes were a little confused, as if he recalled Xiao Xie's crisp and sweet voice when he pulled his sleeve.

"But." Wang Mo hesitated, if those servants heard about it, he would definitely feel dissatisfied.

"Wang Mo doesn't have to care too much about other people's eyes. I hope you are different from those ordinary servants." Wang Mo is very important to Gai Xiong, perhaps because he always looks at Wang Mo's back, as if he is like a little girl. It seemed like Xie walked back to him again, but this was just a self-deceiving dream.

"Recently, I hope that Wang Mo will stay in the mansion and not wander around. No matter what you hear the servants talk about, don't believe it." Gai Xiong warned a little worriedly.

"Will you be in danger?" Wang Mo looked at Gai Xiong's solemn expression, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"No." Gai Xiong said firmly, he must ensure that he is safe and sound before he can care about the people around him.

"I'm leaving first, you should be busy." Wang Mo turned around and walked to the door, only then did he remember that he was in a hurry when he first came in and even forgot to knock on the door, with a hint of apology on his face.

"You stay." Gai Xiong looked at Wang Mo's abnormally fair and beautiful face under the sun, and said.

Wang Mo nodded, then turned around and walked back. He stood by the table and looked at the books piled up on the table, a little at a loss. He couldn't just stay in the study room in a daze.

"Sit down and read the book for me." Gai Xiong couldn't help but smile seeing the embarrassment on Wang Mo's face, and he handed the thick book in his hand to Wang Mo.

Wang Mo sat upright at the table, raised his fingertips and pressed gently on the scroll.

"Relax, it's not as tense as this." Gai Xiong patted Wang Mo's shoulder lightly.
