General, cut off your sleeves!

Chapter 78: The Doomed Escape

Helpless, he had no choice but to repeat what he said just now, and the boy finally came to his senses.Supporting his dizzy head from too much sleep, remembering what happened in the afternoon, he was actually no longer angry, his temper came and went quickly.

"It's okay. Also, when can I go back."

Directly ignoring the second half of the boy's sentence, the young emperor leaned over and sat on the edge of his bed, raised his hand to smooth the boy's messy hair, but sadly stopped when the other person's body froze.

"If you are still angry, you can kill them. Do you want me to help you call those two bold servant girls to deal with you?"

"No, I'm fine, just get angry for a while." Mo Wanqing didn't want to let the two little girls die because of his anger for a while, but he knew that the emperor would kill without blinking an eye.

Unexpectedly, he didn't want to care about it, but the emperor refused, and only ordered: "Come on, bring up those two kneeling in the yard."

Mo Wanqing was startled, kneeling?

"Wait, why are they kneeling in the yard?"

Gu Xuanye thought to himself that it's a good thing he mentioned this on purpose, but he really didn't know, otherwise the two maids might kneel down and die there.Although he would not feel sorry for the two girls, Huansha was cultivated by Tianji Pavilion so hard, so it would be a pity to lose them like this.

He pretended to be surprised and said, "Didn't you tell them to kneel?"

While talking, the two were brought in by the guards, and they were indeed "brought" in.The two of them knelt for too long, their legs became numb, and they couldn't stand still. They were brought in and fell to the ground, but they still struggled to kneel in order not to lose their appearance in front of the king.

Seeing this scene, Mo Wanqing felt overwhelmed with guilt, this is how old a little girl would suffer such a big crime, no matter how big the fire was, it was gone now. "You... haven't woken up since the afternoon?"

The maid in Tsing Yi answered quickly, "Yes, please punish me, my lord."

Without waiting for Mo Wanqing to say anything, Gu Xuanye said: "You are very courageous, and you have a good attitude of admitting your mistakes. Go to the Punishment Department to receive your punishment."

"Wait! You don't need to go, I said you don't need to be fined if you have nothing to do!"

As soon as these words came out, Huansha looked at him in astonishment, knowing that Mo Wanqing was not a coward, but she didn't think that he would be beheaded if he dared to disobey the king!

Before the emperor could speak, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, your majesty, I will go now!"

The Department of Punishment is only shedding a layer of skin, but it will not endanger life, but Mo Wanqing's crime is a life if it is carried out.From the past two days of getting along, Mo Wanqing is the only one who treats her as a master. Although she may not have a smile in the past, she still agrees with this master.

This is what Gu Xuanye wanted, but he didn't think it was enough, so he motioned for the guards to pull him down.

Sure enough, Mo Wanqing couldn't sit still anymore, so he ran down to stop them, and said a little angrily: "I'm wrong, why not! Don't punish them!"

I don't know what the Punishment Division is, but a place where they can show their fear can't be a good place!

He admitted that he was defeated, but he didn't know that the rules here are so strict, and he has to bear the responsibility of two little girls when he gets angry. If he doesn't want the girls to be unlucky, he can only swallow his breath.

Seeing this, Gu Xuanye finally let go, "Everyone will be fined for three months, so as to warn others."

As a result, the two maids who escaped the catastrophe thanked gratefully, especially Mo Wanqing who stood up to protect them. Even Huansha couldn't help feeling that she didn't help the wrong person just now.

The interaction between master and servant is very normal, but these are not pleasant in the eyes of Gu Xuanye, he ordered displeasedly: "Don't go down?"

Immediately, a crowd of people went out, and there were only two of them left in the hall.The main hall is very spacious, but Mo Wanqing only felt suffocated, and it would be hard to relax if there was one more Gu Xuanye in the huge space.

He still doesn't want this man who will persecute him every time he sees him, to go to the table to find tea to drink.

"You're blaming me." It's not an interrogative sentence but an affirmative sentence. Gu Xuanye has this insight.At the same time, he also felt wronged. The whole palace knew about his kindness to the young man, but Mo Wanqing was always angry with him, and the several times they met, they broke up unhappy.He didn't understand the reason, and he could only treat the boy better.

"Yes." Mo Wanqing didn't bother to hide her displeasure, it was genuine displeasure.

"Why?" Asked if he didn't understand, Gu Xuanye also wanted to know why he was unhappy no matter what he did as a young man.

"Do you even need to ask? You locked me here and didn't let me go out, and you even used two maids to make me not even get angry!"

He didn't have any respect for Gu Xuanye, it's not that he was arrogant because of favor, but he was really pushed.It's fine to lock him up, but today's announcement is to tell him that even if he wants to get angry in the future, he can only lock himself in the room secretly, right?Otherwise, the people around him will suffer. He is not so cruel that he doesn't care about the life and death of the people around him!

After that, he rubbed his brows with a headache and continued: "Gu Xuanye, I really don't like this place, so don't hold me back."

It was the first time he called the other person by their name directly, and he was still a little bit afraid before, but now, he has been tortured to the point where he can't care about the fear at all, and if he keeps backing down, he will completely become a member of the deep palace!

Hearing this, Gu Xuanye seemed to be seeing him for the first time, looked at him deeply for a long time and said: "You should think about it again."

When he left, he only heard the boy say behind him, "It will be the same for a long time!"

His heart seemed to be empty again, maybe he should really ask others for advice...

For some reason, after Gu Xuanye left, he seemed to feel better.Anyway, no matter how the other party stopped him, he was determined to go.

He made up his mind that he would not ask for directions again, lest the unlucky ones would still be these two maids.

Later in the day, a man in black with a big knife on his back and a simple salute, crossed the high palace wall with a little difficulty, and arrived outside the palace in the blink of an eye...

And Huansha, who had seen everything in the palace for a long time, reluctantly sent the latest news to the emperor.Since the afternoon, she had guessed that Mo Wanqing would run away, and she wanted to persuade him, but she didn't want to pay back the future and when he found an opportunity, he couldn't wait to leave.

It is a serious crime to cross the palace gate without permission, and she dare not hide it.Up to now, I only hope that the emperor's love for him is deep enough, otherwise today's affairs will not be good...

But Mo Wanqing ran out and found that several roads were all the same, so which one to choose became a huge problem.Helpless, he wanted to climb higher to see where the door was, but he didn't want it to be dark, even with a lantern on, he couldn't see the direction of the door...

He didn't want to encounter such an embarrassing situation when he first came out, and he didn't want to let go of it. He decided to choose a path based on his own feelings, and if it didn't work out, he would retreat.

Giving up on the most open road, he chose a small road and walked there. There were faint lights in the distance. If he was lucky, he might be able to ask someone...

After walking for half a mile, the long palace wall has a little momentum towards the end.Looking closer, where there seems to be people, there is only a dark building, and there are only two red lanterns lit at the door.

Forget it, I'll go back and change my way...

But before he turned his head, a large group of guards appeared in front of him.

"Young master, please stop, you are not allowed to trespass in the Library Pavilion."

Looking at the group of kneeling people in front of him, he realized that his escape plan seemed to have failed, but why didn't they catch him?

But what he said next completely answered his question, "Besides, the emperor said that you should go back when you are tired from shopping, and it is easy to grow taller if you sleep late."

The last half of the poor man's noodle stall guard said it with a suppressed smile. He still remembers the emperor's helplessness when he said this sentence like a spoiled child.

Mo Wanqing's face was completely darkened. It turned out that he thought he was sneaking away and everyone noticed?That is to say, it would be fine if he was turning blindly, but if he turned in the right direction, people would still come out to stop him?

Then he is still running a fart!

Turn around and return calmly on the same path.I said to myself in my heart, it's okay, I will work harder next time, and try to at least find out who is following him!

There was a commotion in the Chonghua Hall, and the South Study Room was also uneasy.General Zou came to see him in the afternoon, and he said something that offended the emperor, and he is still kneeling outside the South Study Room.

In the study, the emperor was reading the memorial by the candlelight. When the candlelight was dimming, there was a servant there to brighten it up for him.

It was the same gray-haired servant, his name was Fubao, he had served the emperor since he was a child, and he knew his preferences.He also wanted to intercede for General Zou, who was kneeling outside the door, but he didn't dare to say a word when the other party offended the king at first. Seeing that it was late at night, the time for him to kneel outside was not short. Just opened my mouth.

"Your Majesty, look...General Zou?"

However, Gu Xuanye seemed to have just remembered such a person, he took a sip from the teacup.He even wondered if the two of them made an appointment to bother him today, otherwise how could they have such a coincidence to attack him on the same day?

"Why, distressed? Call him in if you feel distressed."

After all, the Zou family is a hero, as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line, he is willing to bear with it.In the past, the Zou family really defended the territory for him in a law-abiding manner, but now Zou Jinchu is full of bull temper, and he has turned against him several times.

Fu Bao hurriedly went out to ask someone to help General Zou. Unfortunately, a tough guy knelt down and haggarded.

Zou Jinchu entered the study and knelt down straight. Gu Xuanye knew what he wanted, but he deliberately made him suffer, pretended not to see it and continued to approve the memorial.

It took a while before he heard him begging in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, please let Mo Wanqing go back to the General's Mansion to recuperate!"

After a long time, the person above said lightly, "Give me a reason."

For the first time, this resolute and heartfelt general contradicted the emperor out of selfishness, but he did not regret that he was only protecting his most cherished person.

"He... is not someone who can survive in the deep palace."

"Oh? Then your general's mansion is suitable? It's ridiculous. Compared with the sea, how big is the pond?"

"No, the General's Mansion is not suitable for him to survive. He should be a sharp knife who lives in the sky and on the battlefield."

Gu Xuanye's spirit was shaken, this kind of thought was only there when he first saw Mo Wanqing's heroic standing posture, and later when he wanted to possess him selfishly, this kind of thought was suppressed in his heart.

After a long time, he finally choked out the words "Let me think about it."

This was already his biggest concession, and Zou Jinchu didn't dare to force it anymore...
