In this way, Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi, two children who were over two years old, lived for five years in the palace without their parents.

Thinking of those years, Tang Weiyi's lips slightly raised. Although she didn't live a very good life in the palace in those years, she felt a warm feeling every time she thought of it.

Their experience in the palace was indeed the same as Mo Cong thought. No one dared to make things difficult for them, especially the princes, who came to give some gifts when they first arrived.

But no one makes things difficult for them does not mean that everyone will pay attention to them.

All the big names in the capital know that Mo Congyi holds heavy troops in the border, so no one dares to underestimate Mo Congyi and is also very respectful to Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi.

But the little people didn't know these things, especially because several princes were fighting for the throne before, they also reduced Mo Congyi's influence and blocked the news about Mo Congyi.

The reason why Mo Congyi held heavy troops at the border was basically not known in the capital.

Therefore, in many small people's view of Mo Congyi, they are just a down-and-out prince who was exiled to the border, and there is nothing special about it.

These little people include those who take care of Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi. Therefore, although they take care of Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi because of the above orders, they are not very attentive, and they can only be said to be routine.

Mo Zizai is a little better. After all, he is in the royal bloodline. No matter how "outdated" his father is, no one dares to neglect him. He is still very dedicated to his care.

Tang Weiyi is different. Although the people who served Tang Weiyi in the palace knew that Tang Weiyi's father was a big man and seemed to be a general, for the people in the palace, they had seen the big man, and there was no difference between them in the palace, so taking care of him was relatively unsatisfied.

But there is one thing that people who take care of them is that they are all very cold, as if the heavy life in the palace has taken their smiles. In Tang Weiyi's impression, except when the old emperor came to visit her and Mo Zizai, she had never seen the palace maid who took care of her smiles at her.

For Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi, this palace is more like a cold cage.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that two people, or three people, grew up in the palace, depend on each other for life.

The original purpose of Tang Weiyi coming to the palace was to warm up the body in the rare medicinal materials in the palace, but the palace maids who took care of her were not very concerned about these things. Although they would also boil medicine for Tang Weiyi, they often became later, which led to Tang Weiyi's health not only not getting better, but instead became weaker and weaker.

Therefore, the person who later boiled medicine for Tang Weiyi became Mo Zizai.

At that time, in the palace where they lived, a three-year-old boy was often seen standing by the stove and cooking medicine clumsily. Because he was not very good at it, basically after boiling the medicine, the little boy was smoked black by the smoke.

But the magical thing is that no matter what the little boy is smoked, the decoction he made has never been pasted once.

"I don't know, Brother Mo still remembers how he looked when he boiled medicine for me."

Tang Weiyi's eyes were empty, and she remembered the scene of Mo Zizai's face being smoked by smoke at that time, but she was holding a bowl larger than his hands to let herself drink medicine. A warm feeling flowed through her heart.

The two lived in the dead palace for six years. Because no one communicated, Mo Zizai's personality became more and more withdrawn. Except for when he was with Tang Weiyi, he was still as usual, and was very indifferent at other times.

After that, Mo Congyi was seriously injured and returned from the border. The fourth prince, King Bei'an, fled from the capital, but the eldest prince was unwilling to give in and wanted to have a chance.

Therefore, Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi, who were protons in the palace, naturally became one of the bargaining chips in his hands.

"Weiyi, hide at the bottom of the well, don't move around, don't make a sound, do you understand?"

"Brother Mo, I..."

"Did you understand?"

"I...I don't want to go down, I'll be with you."

"Don't be willful, hide from the bottom, I will pick you up."

"I...I will wait for you."

"Um."

Afterwards, Tang Weiyi was put steadily at the bottom of the well by Mo Zizai using a rope. However, what Tang Weiyi still can't understand is that Mo Zizai was only seven years old at that time, so where did she get the strength to put herself down the well, and the process of falling is still so stable.

The bottom of the well was very dark at that time. Tang Weiyi could not see anything except a small light at the wellhead above, but she could hear the sound outside clearly.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, and there seemed to be a lot of people coming, followed by a loud noise. Tang Weiyi knew that they should be looking for her.

"Criminal, where did Miss Tang go?"

A cold voice came from outside the wellhead, as if questioning Brother Mo.

"Hide it."

When facing outsiders, Brother Mo is still as cold as ever.

"Criminal, can you tell me where Miss Tang is hiding? We are ordered to pick you up. If we can't find Miss Tang, we will not be able to explain."

"What's up with me?"

“…”

The man who made a cold voice seemed to be choked, but soon he said in a stern tone: "Criminal, the prince just asked us to take you over, and did not say that he would not allow him to attack you. I hope you don't force me."

Hearing this, Tang Weiyi put her hand in her mouth because she was afraid that she would not be able to help crying later.

Unlike Tang Weiyi's worries, Mo Zizai's voice was still very cold, "It's up to you."

"you……"

The cold voice seemed to be irritated. Tang Weiyi didn't know if she had done anything to Mo Zizai because she didn't hear Mo Zizai make any sound.

It may have been a while, or it may have been a long time before Tang Weiyi heard many people persuade the person who made a cold voice, "Commander, forget it, forget it, he is the prince after all."

"Yes, commander, he is the descendant of the second prince, that girl is not. It's enough to take him back. The prince won't say anything."

"Master, let's talk about it first. Manager Qiu is still in the palace after all. Although he will not interfere in the seizure of the throne, if you treat the prince like this, what if you anger him..."

"snort."

When I heard Manager Qiu, the cold voice seemed to be a little afraid and snorted coldly, but I didn't say anything, and I left with Mo Zizai, and the outside became silent again.

Tang Weiyi hid alone in the well, her fingers were bitten and bleeding, and she didn't notice it. She was not afraid of the darkness. She was only worried about Mo Zizai's safety, worried that Mo Zizai would not keep her promise and would come back to pick her up.

PS: There are some wells in the palace, and the wellheads are very small, and at most they can only accommodate children through, so it is normal not to look for them in the well.
