Chapter 155 Heart to Heart
Mo Jinyi turned around to dip the ink and found that Li Desheng was grinding the ink slower and slower.
Seeing him staring at the water conservancy map on the table, Mo Jinyi understood.
Mo Sheng also saw Li Desheng's expression. Although Eunuch Li was her father's confidant, it was better for her father to hear her thoughts as little as possible.
[Father, please don't expose yourself in front of Eunuch Li. Not everyone is as accepting as you. I will be regarded as a monster.]
Mo Jinyi looked at Mo Sheng with amusement as he had a stern and childish face and was warning him seriously.
It can’t be leaked yet?
Is it possible that her inner voice has already leaked out like a sieve without her knowing it?
However, he still nodded slightly to Mo Sheng, indicating that she should not worry, he would solve it.
"Li Desheng, come and take a look at the water conservancy project map I drew for Shuozhou. Can it be used?
Today, I saw the map of Yuezhou and came up with this idea. It should be very effective in solving the flood problem in Shuozhou."
Li Desheng did not be polite with Mo Jinyi. After getting Mo Jinyi's permission, he carefully looked at the newly drawn drawing in front of him.
"Your Majesty is wise, and my opinion is poor, but this project is indeed very suitable for the terrain of Shuozhou. If it is completed, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Not only can it solve the flood problem, but it can also solve the annual drought problem in Yuezhou."
"However, I have seen the detailed designs on this blueprint. This project is of considerable scale and requires a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources, and time."
"I think it's still a bit difficult considering Beiyun's current situation."
Mo Jinyi looked at the drawing in front of him and nodded without changing his expression.
"This project is quite expensive, but its contribution to Beiyun is undoubtedly huge. No matter how difficult it is, it must be completed if it benefits the country and the people."
Li Desheng nodded in agreement, not doubting why Mo Jinyi, who had been so overwhelmed and clueless about the water conservancy issues in Shuozhou in the court, was able to solve them easily after coming to Yuezhou.
It was really just a flash of inspiration that occurred to him after he came to Yuezhou.
Mo Jinyi felt slightly relieved when he saw that Li Desheng completely believed his excuse.
He spoke to Li Desheng again.
"Okay, you put these two things away carefully, and have someone send them back to the court to the Ministry of Works so that they can study them carefully."
Li Desheng responded, walked forward to put away the drawings, and prepared to go out and find someone to deliver them.
Mo Jinyi thought about it and felt that this blueprint was very important. He still felt a little uneasy, so he gave instructions again to Li Desheng who had already walked to the door.
"This matter is of great importance. You must find a reliable person to personally deliver it to the prince."
Li Desheng nodded respectfully to Mo Jinyi, went out to arrange this matter, and closed the door of the study for Mo Sheng and his daughter.
When Mo Sheng saw Li Desheng go out, he stopped crawling on the table.
She sat down on the table, not caring what was underneath her.
Mo Jinyi turned around and saw that her butt was about to sit on the inkstone, so he quickly took the inkstone away.
"Little ancestor, can you please look at what is under your butt when you sit down? Do you want to turn from a porcelain doll into a piece of coal?"
Mo Sheng didn't care. She looked at her father speaking word by word with confidence.
"Yes... Hu..."
When Mo Jinyi saw Mo Sheng acting so self-righteously, he was surprised that Mo Sheng would be so willful towards him. He had to harden his heart and speak to him.
To prevent her from being lawless in the future, what if he is not by her side?
"So what if I'm here? You don't have to be responsible for your safety? What if my father is not here?"
Mo Sheng was not afraid of her father at all, she was not a real child.
She looked at the beam of the study, and a baby voice rang out in the empty room.
"Is there... Him..."
When the voice came out, Mo Sheng was a little stunned.
[Why is this becoming increasingly unclear?]
System: [My dear little master, your vocal cords are not fully developed yet. It is already good enough to be able to make sounds like this.
However, now that you know that your father can hear your thoughts, why don’t you communicate directly using your thoughts?
How can you avoid causing outsiders to suspect that you are precocious?
Mo Sheng felt that she was just out of her mind and had forgotten about this matter for a short while.
[Oh, that's right, forget it, my brain just didn't work well for a moment, please forgive me]
"What if they also..."
When Mo Sheng heard her father continue chattering, she interrupted him and blinked her eyes, trying to get her father to let her go.
[Okay, Father, please stop nagging me. I was wrong about this matter. I won’t dare to do it again in the future.]
Seeing her like this, Mo Jinyi shook his head helplessly. He gently reached out and held Mo Sheng in his arms.
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again next time."
Seeing that her father had forgiven her, Mo Sheng gave Mo Jinyi a big smile, not caring at all that she used to be a cold child.
【OK】
[However, father, eunuch Li is out, and we should get to the point. When did you hear what I am thinking?
And you are not afraid? Don’t you doubt my background?】
Before answering Mo Sheng's question, Mo Jinyi made a gesture towards the beam.
These deadpools hiding in the dark were indeed trained by the royal family and will never betray the royal family until their death.
But there is no guarantee that there are some talented people in the world who have the means to obtain their memories without their knowledge.
Given Sheng'er's special circumstances, it's better to be cautious.
After confirming that the room was truly empty, Mo Jinyi spoke softly to Mo Sheng.
"Sheng'er, father will ask you a question first. Father has been troubled by this question for a day. If you answer it, father will answer your question."
Mo Sheng stared at Mo Jinyi, who had an innocent look on his face and was unwilling to compromise in the slightest. She was almost angry and laughed.
[No, Father, it’s already this hour, and you are still playing tricks on me, right?]
[I gave you my heart, but you played tricks on me. How sad.]
"I don't have any. Also, Sheng'er, don't be so disrespectful."
Mo Jinyi would never admit his thoughts. Even if he was seen through, he would never admit it. He just wanted to know it first.
Seeing that he refused to compromise at all, Mo Sheng sighed deeply.
Some people are really childish.
[Forget it, forget it. Let me speak first.]
[Actually, I have only just confirmed this matter not long ago, and I really didn’t know about it before.
I just had some vague suspicions before, but you, Your Majesty, hid it so well that I thought many of your thoughts were just coincidences that you and I had the same idea.
It was after we were in the military camp that I really began to doubt your ability to hear your thoughts.]
Mo Sheng paused for a moment and continued.
[Father, I proposed something and you were able to think of it very quickly. This will inevitably arouse your suspicion, so I will naturally test it out.]
Mo Jinyi frowned. Testing?
Was it because he was too low in vigilance or because he trusted Sheng'er too much, he didn't even notice her probing intentions.
"Probing? Father didn't notice it at all."
[Father, please don't be like this. Father, you are completely defenseless against my feelings, so I will succeed. This method can only be used this once, right?]
Mo Jinyi finally relaxed his brow. He sat at the table, holding Mo Sheng in one hand and supporting his head with the other, not looking like an emperor at all.
He spoke to Mo Sheng in a lazy tone.
"Let me guess, Father. Which one is your test? Is it the matter about the King of Qi or the matter about you saying you want to go out for fun? Or is it the matter about the incognito visit you mentioned?"
Mo Sheng was playing with the toy in her hand. She looked at Mo Jinyi, who had completely let down his guard in front of her, with some disdain, nodded at him, and spoke with some difficulty.
[Father, if the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Censorate saw you like this, they would report you and scold you.]
[As for your guess, it's pretty close, of course, I also used some episodes to verify it, such as the scene where your son teased you with some words, and you took advantage of your son's ignorance and didn't hold back.]
Mo Jinyi seemed to be lost in thought, his voice was low and lazy yet magnetic.
"Since there are no outsiders here now, can't I relax a little? The points you're concerned about are indeed those that I didn't consider carefully enough, and that's why you discovered them. It seems that those ministers can guess my thoughts accurately."
Mo Sheng was rarely proud of her father's compromise.
[Father, although your concealment is not very good, who would think that way? I have only experienced life in another world and have seen many human hearts. I can see through their minds. Also, some of your actions are too coincidental, which is why I am suspicious.]
Mo Jinyi suddenly realized that Sheng'er's boastful tone really deserved a beating.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
[Father, it is good that you understand. Now it is your turn to clear up your confusion for your son.]
Mo Jinyi put Mo Sheng on the table, shook his sore hands, and after thinking for a while, he spoke in a gentle tone and slowly told Mo Sheng what he knew.
"I was able to hear your voice when you were born and met your father for the first time. As for why I believed it, I naturally didn't believe it at first, but after I verified everything you revealed, I realized that your words were credible."
"As for your origins, I also learned some from your inner voice, but those are all things from your past, so I can't ask any more questions. And as for the fear you mentioned, you are just a powerless baby. Even if your inner voice is weird, it should be easy for me to kill you. Why should I be afraid? Don't you think so?"
Mo Sheng thought about the scene when she was born and found that it was a little blurry, but she seemed really easy to kill at that time.
[It seems so, but father, are you really not curious about why I became your daughter and what is my purpose in coming to Beiyun?]
Mo Jinyi paused for a moment, his face was serious and his tone was full of seriousness.
"No matter who you were in your previous life, or whether you lived a good or bad life, as long as you don't do anything to harm the Beiyun state in this life, you will be my most beloved daughter and the most noble princess of Beiyun. It's not because of what you can bring to Beiyun, but simply because you are my daughter."
Mo Sheng didn't expect her father to do this suddenly. When she told her father what she knew, she was already prepared to repeat the path of her previous life and was ready to be used.
She didn't expect that she would get a promise from an emperor, without any interest involved, just a promise from a father to his daughter.
[Father, how can you be so kind? You are so kind that I will never betray you again. And don’t you want some knowledge that is beyond this era from me?]
Xiao Ba was still shocked at her little master's keen observation ability. It had only been a short time and she had already seen through her father.
And it helped to cover up a bit, but then it remembered its cover-up.
It felt a little guilty and hoped that its little master would not see through it. It had promised its little master that it would not lie to her. If she knew that it had lied to her, who knows what disaster would happen.
No, it has to be kept secret and must not be discovered by the little master.
Xiao Ba tried hard to reduce his presence in the space, and Mo Jinyi thought that Mo Sheng knew that he could also hear the elf's voice, so he didn't mention it.
As a result, Mo Sheng completely ignored the question of whether Xiao Ba knew about this matter.
"Ahem, of course it's good. If your father can't do it, then who can do it? Besides, I am of course curious about the knowledge that you mentioned that transcends the times, but it's just curiosity. It's up to you, Sheng'er, whether you take it out or not."
"It's better to have this knowledge, but it's just the same without it, isn't it? Before you came, Sheng'er, I also managed this country well."
[But Father… Since you could hear my inner voice from the beginning, you should have known that Beiyun didn’t have many years left.]
Mo Jinyi was a little stunned by Mo Sheng's direct question.
He couldn't solve this problem, but he had learned to just let it go when it kept rolling in his mind.
"Sheng'er, this issue has been resolved since I knew what you were thinking. I have already started to make changes and will not repeat the same mistakes. I will make this country better and better."
Mo Sheng looked at her father's domineering appearance and grinned, revealing her missing baby teeth.
[Don't worry, father, I will help you. I don't want such a beautiful country like Beiyun to perish. I can't bear to leave you, my mother, my brother the crown prince, and everyone in the Beiyun royal family.]
"Sheng'er, why are you so cute? You are just like my little cotton-padded jacket."
He picked up Mo Sheng and kissed her little face. Mo Sheng was a little helpless about Mo Jinyi's sudden crazy behavior.
[Father, do you know that your beard is very prickly?]
[Also, I don't mind letting you experience what a leaky cotton jacket is like]
Mo Jinyi hugged Mo Sheng, and seeing that she was about to get angry, he stopped teasing her.
He watched the night deepen outside and carried Mo Sheng back to the room.
"Sheng'er, you should go to sleep. If you continue to toss and turn with your current physical condition, you will be in trouble."
Mo Sheng snorted coldly and let her father go.
In the next few days, Mo Sheng stayed in the inn and rarely went out.
She crawled up to Mo Jinyi, who was reviewing memorials, and pulled at his clothes.
"Father, I'm so bored. Let's go out for a walk."
