Later on, Han Jie heard a secret message from the Wang Family's representative, who was sent by the empress's personal servant, Maid, and the Prime Minister to the palace to visit them: "The Empress is extremely waterborne and is not injured at all, so she came up with such a foolproof plan. Who knew that the Empress would not know that she was pregnant, which was why something happened? It was also because this servant had failed her duties and was busy with other matters. She hadn't taken care of the Empress properly in the past few days. The situation had already turned for the better. The little prince was gone, and the Empress was heartbroken, causing the emperor to be even more enraged. That Mo Family woman had been beaten to a pulp by the Emperor, so she probably wouldn't have the chance to bounce around in front of the Emperor again in this lifetime! You don't know that, for the sake of this Mo Family girl's favor, the Empress couldn't sleep after eating too much. Now, he could finally sleep peacefully. The Empress was young and had a good foundation. If she rested for three to five months, she could be pregnant again with a dragon. At that time, there will only be more honorable favors! "
Han Jie had climbed up the Caiyun Hall wall before, and peeked at Mo Consort Chen who was locked inside. At first, she cried out that she had been wronged, that she wanted to confront the empress; then she fell silent, only staring at the sky every day, and then, with her hair in disarray, she would sit at the door and laugh and cry, as if she had gone mad.
He sighed in his heart. This palace was truly hellish. As long as there was someone who wanted to harm it, the bright and beautiful flowers from yesterday would wither and fall in the blink of an eye.
The day before yesterday, he had walked outside the Caiyun Hall in boredom and climbed up the wall easily. In his memory, he hadn't seen her for a long time.
However, this time, the Mo Consort Chen she saw was different from the previous ones: this time, she did not sit at the door like she used to. Instead, she brought along her one and only palace maid in the cold palace, growing wild weeds everywhere. The meaning of his words was to dry the grass while the weather was good and keep it warm in the winter.
This was truly strange! He leaned on the wall curiously for a long time. The weird thing about Mo Consort Chen was not only this, but she was also a different person. Not only was she no longer as crazy as before, she also seemed to have forgotten that she was in the Cold Palace and was always laughing. The cold steamed bun that the eunuch from the Cold Palace had sent over was pickled vegetables. She actually lit a fire and cut the cold steamed bun into pieces to roast on top of it. She also told her palace maid what she called a "roasted bun chip."
He leaned against the wall, smelling the fragrance of the baked buns, and his stomach rumbled. I really want to go down and have a bite.
"Yin, quickly, what did father capture for you?"
Mo Qian held a fat rabbit in his hand and walked happily to the front of the house.
Mo Yin was currently throwing a sandbag at the door by herself. "Seeing the rabbit in his father's hand, he cried out in surprise. Rabbit! It's a rabbit! "
"Yeah, it's just a big hare. How about I kill it and cook it for Yinhong?"
Mo Yin pinched the sandbag and poked the rabbit with her finger. She frowned as she thought about it. "Can I keep it as my playmate?"
In the past few days, the houses nearby didn't have much contact with them. They were all avoiding him, as if saying a word to him was a crime.
Not to mention that Mo Jun became famous after a single battle, which let the children around them know of his strength. They all became enemies with him.
Mo Qian looked at his innocent daughter and felt upset. If it weren't for him, how could his daughter, who had lived in luxury ever since she was young, have fallen to the point of needing a rabbit as a playmate?
He had originally planned to kill this rabbit and stew a pot of meat so that the family would clench their teeth in worship and satisfy his craving. Now, if her daughter wanted to raise this rabbit, she would do so as she wished. After that, he would just go and capture them again.
"If Yin likes it, then father will make a cage and put this rabbit in it for you to raise!" Mo Qian said.
"That's great!" Mo Yin jumped up happily.
Mo Qian tied the rabbit with a rope. Give it to your daughter to play with.
"You have to be careful, this is a hare. It's much stronger than the ones raised at home." he urged.
"I know, Daddy. I'll hold on to the rope. "
Mo Qian paused for a moment as he thought of something. Looking around, he asked: "Where are you, Second Brother? "Why isn't he home?"
"Second Brother was there just now. I don't know where he went now." Mo Yin tilted her head.
"This stinking brat, how could he leave you alone at home?" We'll take care of him when he gets back! " Mo Qian said.
"No, Daddy. "Second Brother didn't do it on purpose."
"This brat is mischievous, I can't not teach him a lesson."
After Mo Qian finished speaking, he walked with large strides to a big willow tree by the side of the road. He used a knife to chop some soft branches and came back. Then, he started to weave the cage.
Mo Yin curiously held onto the rabbit, who was trying to escape from the rope. She watched as her father nimbly weaved through the branches. Before long, the initial shape of a small cage appeared. Mo Yin, who was squatting at the side, said respectfully, "Daddy, you're so awesome! You even know how to make cages!"
Mo Qian laughed loudly, "Of course, Daddy knows a lot."
"Daddy, I like this place. "Although there are no longer any big houses to live in and no longer any delicious or interesting things to eat, I can still see father everyday." Mo Yin narrowed her eyes in happiness. "In the past, Daddy was always in the military camp, and our daughter couldn't even see you if she wanted to."
His words made General Mo extremely ashamed. In front of his wife and children, though, he did not show that he was depressed by being deported. However, he felt extremely depressed and resentful. Thinking that his entire Mo Family was loyal, and had built up a large amount of mountains and rivers for this Dongyue. But because of the slanderous words of the wicked, the emperor did not wait for him to refute, but ordered him to take over his house and exiled him.
He naturally understood that this was because the emperor was afraid of his prestige and power, afraid that he would start a rebellion. This matter just happened to undermine his strength. He really did a good job of cooking a rabbit until it was dead and the bird was completely hidden away.
He was wronged and resentful, so he could only accept his fate.
"In the future, Daddy will have plenty of time to accompany you." Mo Qian gently touched the top of his daughter's head.
The father and daughter duo were talking and laughing when suddenly, three people riding horses came from afar. In addition to the men, the horses were tied with bundles.
Mo Qian only thought of him as a passing customer. Who knew that those three people would actually head straight for his house?
When the leader, a man in his thirties saw Mo Qian, he jumped down from his horse. He took a step forward and clasped his fists, "Is this the famous Marshal Mo?"
Mo Qian put down the cage that was about to be made. Although the visitor was wearing casual clothes, with his many years of experience leading soldiers, he could tell at a glance that he was a soldier. He clasped his fists and returned the greeting, "This one is Mo Qian, the person who was exiled with the crime, not some Marshal Mo."
"It really is you!" That person's eyes lit up and said happily, "Subordinate Chen Zhidong! He was the field officer who guarded the Qingyang Pass. It has been a blessing of three lifetimes for us to be able to witness Marshal Mo's grace and grace! "
"So it's General Chen." Mo Qian said, "My apologies."
"Marshal Mo, I only found out about your family's visit from my son. If I had known earlier, I would have come to visit you."
Chen Zhidong's words were full of admiration and sincerity. Mo Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't say goodbye. Now, I'm not worth mentioning."
"No, no, no! The Marshal used his troops like a god and did not fail once, beating the clan leader of the Western Barbarian to the point where he did not dare to invade my Dongyue's border again. He was truly a great hero. Now that I am in my place, I must treat the marshal well. Someone come! "
Chen Zhidong turned around and ordered the other two: "Take down the things I brought."
The two of them immediately untied the bags tied to the horses' backs. When he opened it, he could see that it was all about food and clothing. There were cloths, quilts, sheepskins, fox skins, pots, pans, dried meat, and so on. Clearly, he had prepared it very carefully.
"This Qingyang Pass is about to enter winter soon. It was likely that Marshal Mo had just come here for the first time and did not know how great winter was. So this time, I picked up some useful ones and brought them over to you. "Marshal, please don't despise being humble."
Mo Qian was moved and said, "The tree falls and the monkeys scatter, and the wall falls and people push." As for those civil and military officials who were on good terms with him in the capital, when they saw him fall, they did indeed immediately put aside their relationship with him, fearing that they would be implicated. He did not blame them for their actions. They tended to avoid benefits, and this was the way people were supposed to be.
He just didn't expect that he would meet such a frank and warm-hearted person like Chen Zhidong after being exiled to this place. Not only did she not keep a distance from him, she even took the initiative to befriend him and provide him with supplies. How could this not move him?
"Thank you so much, General Chen." Mo Qian said.
"Of course, of course!" Chen Zhidong laughed, "If Marshal has any difficulties in the future, feel free to tell me."
"General Chen, I don't have the Commander Seal anymore. You can't call me Marshal. If you don't mind, you can call me Big Brother."
Chen Zhidong pondered for a moment, "Alright, I'll call you Brother from now on."
"Alright." Mo Qian said, "Then don't stand here and talk. Hurry up and enter the house. I will drink a few drinks with Brother Xian to warm up."
"That's good." Chen Zhidong laughed loudly.
After taking two steps, Mo Qian stopped and smacked his forehead, "Look at my memory, I forgot one thing. Brother Xian, you go in first.
Chen Zhidong didn't go inside the room. He watched Mo Qian squat down and pick up the small cage made of willow branches from the ground and continue weaving.
While the two adults were talking, Mo Yin led B.Rabbit to the side and slipped away.
Chen Zhidong looked at the little girl that was carved from jade and asked: "Is this Big Bro's daughter? Beautiful! "
Mo Qian nodded and said, "Yes, it's my daughter."
Only then did Chen Zhidong notice the lack of a hostess, so he asked again, "Is the wife not at home?"
"Oh, she went to the river to wash her clothes."
Just as they were talking about their mistress, Mrs. Faang came back with Mo Jun, who looked dejected, and Mo Qi, who was carrying a wooden basin.
Mo Qian knew from the look of it that the second brat must have stirred up trouble again. He stood up and asked, "What happened?"
Mrs. Faang couldn't care about the three people she didn't know and sighed. "What else could we do? Jun fought with a few other kids again."
"It's not that I want to fight. They were the ones who provoked me first! " Mo Jun retorted.
Mo Qian's expression turned cold, "I told you to stay at home and watch over my sister. When I came back, you were nowhere to be seen. So you really went to stir up trouble again!"
Mo Jun saw that there was an outsider present, so his father reprimanded him like this. His pride was hurt, and he angrily shook off his mother's hand and said loudly, "You don't believe me. Ask those kids what they say about our family. I'm just telling them to shut up and stop talking nonsense! "
"What did they say? "What can you say?" Mo Qian got angry and pointed at Mo Jun, "You! You lack discipline and are lawless!"
Mo Jun straightened his neck and said, "Dad, this isn't the first time you've wronged me. If you want to punish me, punish me. I'll take it! "Why do you have to say there's no such thing?"
"Good boy!" Go to your room, you're not allowed to come out without my permission. "
