Princess of the Past and Present

Mu Jin held his shoulders with both hands, and looked at him sincerely, "If I said, I have explained to the father that the father promised to let you stay in the capital, how would you choose?"

"Caomin returned to Lingyun Mountain to concentrate on cultivating the Tao, and his mind has been decided."

"So, in the end, it's you who want to leave?"

Mo Shuang lowered her eyes and said, "The marriage between Cao Min and His Highness is absurd."

Mu Jin smiled wryly, "So, now that this ridiculous marriage is over, you're free, right?"

Mo Shuang was silent.

"If you don't say it, is it acquiescing?"

Both of them stopped talking, and the room was very quiet. Mu Jin looked at Mo Shuang without looking sideways, and moved his lips, "Then, have you ever been tempted by me? Even the slightest?"

He has always wanted to know this question, but he was afraid of knowing the truth that would disappoint him.

Mo Shuang's expression was as serene as that of the Buddha statue in the temple, "The grassroots have practiced Taoism for more than ten years, and they have already let go of the seven emotions and six desires of this world of mortals."

Although the answer is euphemistic, the meaning inside is clear.

Mu Jin took a step back feeling lost, with a dazed expression on his face.Not long ago, he came to see him full of joy, but at this moment, he fell into the abyss again.

Therefore, Mo Shuang said in the first sentence, His Highness shouldn't come.

Yes, he shouldn't have come.That fleeting hope eventually turned into disappointment.

Mu Jin turned and left, his heart was bleeding, and every step he took felt pain.He fell in love for the first time, and although he had been careful all the time, he was still stuck.

Not long after Mu Jin left, Li Chen returned to the room, met Shang Moshuang's gaze, and asked, "Did you make it clear?"

"Ah."

Li Chen glanced at the chessboard on the table, "Since the chess game is still in chaos, let's continue." He walked to the chair and sat down, looked at Mo Shuang and said, "I remember, it's up to you to play."

Mo Shuang said, "I lost this game of chess."

Li Chen smiled, "I haven't finished this game yet, how can I be sure that I will lose? Besides, you are superb at chess. I haven't beaten you a few times since I was a child."

"But if I play against you now, I will definitely lose."

Li Chen looked at the chessboard, and stretched out his hand into the urn to pick up a black stone and looked at it, "When playing chess, those who are not good at chess will lose, and those who are good at chess will lose if they can't concentrate. Mo Shuang, your face is far stronger than your heart." Come calm."

Mo Shuang pursed her lips lightly and remained silent.

Li Chen put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said: "I can finish my business in the capital tomorrow, and I will leave for Lingyun Mountain the day after tomorrow. In these two days, you should think clearly. If you can't calm down when practicing Taoism, It will only get twice the result with half the effort.”

In the evening, at dusk and sunset, someone knocked on the door, and a man dressed as a servant outside said that his master wanted to see him and invited him to come.

Mo Shuang followed the man dressed as a servant to a box in a restaurant. There were already people waiting inside, but the light was too dim, and he couldn't see clearly with the light on his back.

But Mo Shuang recognized that it was the current Holy Majesty.

Mo Shuang knelt down to salute, "Cao Min kowtows to the emperor."

The man sitting on the grand teacher's chair said: "Ping body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mo Shuang got up from the ground, folded her hands, and lowered her head slightly to show respect.

Sitting on the grand master's chair, the emperor stroked the injured jade finger with his fingertips, "Do you know why I came to see you in person today?"

"The grassroots are stupid, please make it clear to the emperor."

"Mu Jin came to the imperial study yesterday to intercede for you. I told him that there is only one choice between the crown prince and you. Guess which one he chose?"

Mo Shuang said: "His Royal Highness cares about the imperial court, so naturally he attaches great importance to the country and the country."

The emperor snorted softly, "He cares about the court and puts the country and the country first. If he really thinks so, I don't have to worry about it."

"Your Highness knows the seriousness, the emperor can rest assured."

The emperor let out a long breath, his gaze was long, and he remembered what happened back then, "After all, it's all my fault. Back then, your father blocked an arrow for me, and I should marry the Yin family. To make your eldest brother a son-in-law, but because of Yuanqing's capriciousness, I made you a crown princess by accident. If I knew that Mu Jin would be so attached to you, I would definitely not do that."

"Mu Jin is the prince. When I die in the future, he will be the emperor. In addition to governing the world, he will also take on the important task of inheriting the emperor's heir. There is nothing wrong with him liking men, but he is too deep. I am afraid of him. If you can't get out, you will delay your life." The emperor looked at Mo Shuang, "You understand what I said."

"The emperor has good intentions, and the grassroots understand."

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Caomin will leave Beijing early in the morning, and return to Lingyun Mountain to concentrate on cultivating the Tao."

"Well, that's fine." The emperor picked up the hot tea, untied the tea cover, took a sip, and continued: "I heard from Mu Jin that you contributed a lot to breaking Yin Sheng's case, so I will reward you in private. how?"

The eunuch next to him immediately went to the round table next to him, and opened the box on the table, which contained gold, at least a thousand taels.

Mo Shuang said: "Caomin did not help in solving the case, and dare not take credit for it, so I ask the emperor to take it back."

"There is no reason to take back what I bestow. You just accept this thousand taels of gold. It is enough for your lower body to live comfortably."

The so-called reward may be just a cover.Mo Shuang couldn't evade it, so he cupped his hands, "Caomin thank the emperor for his kindness."

Back at the inn, Li Chen looked at the small box of gold thoughtfully, "Since it was given to you by the emperor, there is no reason why you should not accept it. Some parts of the left and right Taoist temples have been in disrepair for a long time, and this gold can be used to repair them." Repair. Moshuang, what do you think?"

Mo Shuang held a cup of hot tea and took a sip, "It's all up to senior brother."

"Okay, let's do it."

The next day, Mo Shuang went to the small bookshop located behind the bustling street, sat at a table by the window, and read silently with a book in his hand.

There was another figure beside him, Mo Shuang looked up and saw Jing Lanzhou in blue clothes.

Mo Shuang stood up, cupped her hands and said, "So it's Brother Jing, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing these days?"

Jing Lanzhou smiled gently, "I've always been carefree, but you don't look very good, but something goes wrong?"

Mo Shuang lowered her eyebrows and said, "Don't mention it."

"Then let's not mention it."

Jing Lanzhou sat down on the stool opposite him, "Do you have any plans in the near future?"

Mo Shuang personally brewed a cup of tea for him, "I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be back in the future."

Jing Lanzhou was not surprised, he already knew about this, "Go back to Lingyun Mountain?"

"Exactly." Mo Shuang looked at Jing Lanzhou, "Then what is Brother Jing's plan? Do you want to stay in the world?"

"I can go anywhere. Today I am in the capital, and tomorrow I might reach Lingyun Mountain faster than you."

Mo Shuang smiled faintly, "That means, we can see Brother Jing again in the future."

"Of course, you and I are not destined to end, and we will always meet at the ends of the earth."

Say goodbye to Jing Lanzhou and return to the inn.Holding a white fur in his hand, Li Chen handed it to Mo Shuang: "Let's leave early tomorrow morning, you pack all the things that should be packed, and you also take this fur. The journey is long, and there will be a lot of wind, food and sleep in the open."

Mo Shuang took it, "Thank you, brother."

"I'll go downstairs and order some vegetarian dishes, and you'll come down to eat some later."

"it is good."

Mo Shuang turned and entered the door, Dong Ling also followed, and said regretfully, "My lord, did you just leave like this?"

Mo Shuang folded the fur fur in her hand, "Those who should leave should always leave."

"However, I always feel that it's not that you don't have feelings for His Highness, it's just that you hide it well, so no one else can see it, not even His Highness."

Mo Shuang was still for a moment, and he wrote lightly: "You think too much."

Dong Ling puffed up her mouth, slapped her injustice and said, "Your Majesty, you really don't want to say it sooner or later, but at this moment, you will be separated from His Highness forcibly."

Mo Shuang folded the fur fur and put it on the couch, then turned to look at her, "Say less, go and pack things."

Someone knocked on the door, and a deep voice called out, "Prince Princess."

Mo Shuang recognized Uncle Chen's voice as soon as he heard it, Dong Ling went to open the door deftly, and it was Uncle Chen standing outside the door.

"Princess Concubine, this old slave finally found you." Chen Bo's eyes were watery, and he probably didn't know that Mo Shuang lived here until he asked for a long time.

"Uncle Chen, I am no longer the princess, I will change my name in the future."

Chen Bodao: "This old slave is quick to talk, please don't take it wrong, Mr. Yin."

Seeing Uncle Chen's impatience, Dong Ling couldn't help asking: "Uncle Chen, what's the matter with you coming to see my young master?"

"Yes, there is something to do." Uncle Chen looked at Mo Shuang and sighed, "His Highness locked himself in the room when he returned to the mansion yesterday. The slave knocked on the door, but he didn't respond, and he didn't go to him this morning, old slave, this old slave was really afraid of something happening to His Highness, and he didn't dare to report to the emperor, so he came to find Mr. Yin."

Mo Shuang's face changed slightly. If the emperor and all the civil and military officials knew about Mu Jin's self-abandonment, there would be someone who wanted to fan the flames.

Dong Ling shook Mo Shuang's arm, "My lord, since that's the case, you'd better go and see His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise, if something happens, you will be too late to regret it."

Mo Shuang also knew the seriousness of the situation, so she hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."

Back at the Prince's Mansion, it was already dark.Chen Bo led Mo Shuang to the main room in a hurry, Yuan Yuzhi knocked on the door, "Your Highness, Your Highness, open the door..."

Seeing Uncle Chen leading Mo Shuang back, Yuan Yuzhi asked angrily, "What did you ask him for?"

Chen Bodao: "Concubine Liang, I really can't think of any other way, I can't just watch His Highness locked up inside without eating or drinking."

Yuan Yuzhi glared at Mo Shuang, but was speechless.

Mo Shuang walked to the door of the dormitory, raised her hand and pushed it, the inside was already locked, knocked on the door, "Your Highness."

There was no response from inside, and Mo Shuang said to Chen Bo behind him, "Thank you, Chen Bo, get me a sword."

"Old slave, go here."

Uncle Chen brought the long sword, Mo Shuang held the hilt and pulled out the sword, inserted it into the crack of the door, exerted a little force on the wrist, the door bolt inside broke in two, and the door opened with a light push.

The author has something to say: Well, I chose a high-profile chapter name, Miehaha.

Thank you for the mines of the lonely patient rabbit, (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～

In fact, the prince's decadence highlights his deep love for Mo Shuang.

Those who have been in love should be able to feel it, that is, the person you like leaves you, that kind of despair, you will lose interest in everything around you.
