Chapter 639: A Two-For-One Strike
Si, come with me. Ding Hua, I leave him to you.""My subordinate will definitely do everything in their power to protect the Princess and the Prince."Yun Si frowned now, "Your Highness, the young mas...Mò Yún Jǐng would indeed not allow his Yun Family Army to enter the palace.
Even if the emperor knelt down and begged him at this moment, he would not agree.
First, the emperor had long harbored murderous intentions towards his Cloud Army. He never tolerated them from the moment he learned of their existence, constantly plotting to destroy them.
How could he possibly let the Yun Family Army into the palace to protect the emperor What if this was the emperor's scheme Even if the Yun Family Army was incredibly powerful, thousands against hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guards would only lead to a dead end!
Next, his Cloud Army has always been guarding the Beijiang Prince's Mansion. If they are allowed to enter the palace now, if someone attacks the Beijiang Prince's Mansion later, he cannot guarantee An Xuetang's safety, so the Cloud Army cannot leave the mansion!
To put it plainly, he simply doesn't trust the emperor. He doesn't believe the emperor has truly changed his attitude towards him, nor does he believe his apparent attempts to please him.
In Mo Yunjing's view, everything the emperor is doing now is sinister.
As for what his exact scheme was, he hadn't figured it out yet.
The emperor, upon hearing Mo Yunjing's words, fell silent for a moment. He then closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh:
"Since you are unwilling, your father will not force you. This is how it shall be done. I leave this matter to you and Aze. You two work with the Dali Temple to investigate together. I give you two days, and after two days, hand me a satisfactory result."
As for the emperor's request, Mo Yunjing did not refuse again. He knew when to stop and accept a good outcome. Otherwise, if he completely angered the emperor, his northern border princely mansion would suffer as well.
Seeing Mo Yunjing agree, Mo Yunze also cupped his hands and said, "Father, you worry too much. This son will definitely find out who is playing tricks and avenge you!"
Having said that, Mo Yunze cast a meaningful glance at Mo Yunjing. “Father, please don't worry too much. I think this incident was likely orchestrated by someone intentionally. I just don't know what their true motive is. Perhaps they want Father to rely even more on someone.”
Mo Yunze's words were veiled, intending to make the emperor believe that last night's incident was orchestrated by Mo Yunjing.
The Emperor and Mo Yunjing merely glanced at him lightly, neither of them speaking.
Mo Yunze saw that the emperor wasn't speaking. He thought the emperor had listened to his words and wanted to continue, but the emperor suddenly waved his hand. "That's enough, you guys better hurry up and investigate the case."
Mo Yunjing turned and walked away. Mo Yunze wanted to say something else to the emperor, but at this moment, the eunuch cleared his throat and signaled him to stop. Otherwise, the emperor would really get angry.
Mo Yunze wasn't a fool. This father-in-law understood his father-king's temper best. Since he had hinted so, Mo Yunze wouldn't continue to be reckless now.
Having bowed to the emperor, Mo Yunze hurried after Mo Yunjing.
Just out of the palace, he stopped Mo Yunjing, “Were the things in the palace done by your people Do you want to make Father rely on you even more”
Mo Yunjing gave him a look that could only be described as condescending. "Do you have any evidence" she said coldly.
"I have no proof, but who in the capital doesn't know of your prowess Your guards are renowned for their agility. So tell me, is it truly you behind all this"
Mo Yunjing was too lazy to pay him any mind. He glanced at Yunliu beside him, and Yunliu immediately rushed in front of Mo Yunjing, "Fourth Prince, please give way."
Mo Yunze frowned, "How You're nothing but a lowly servant. Could you possibly dare to give this king a taste of your own medicine"
Hearing Mo Yunze's words, Mo Yunjing suddenly spoke up and struck his chest with a palm.
Mo Yunze's chest was injured last night, and now he was struck by Mo Yunjing's palm. He instantly cried out in pain and staggered back.
He glared at Mo Yunjing, "It was you, you were the one who attacked me last night!"
Mo Yunjing gave him a cold glance, without saying a word, then mounted his horse with Yunliu and prepared to leave.
Mo Yunze, in a hurry, spoke up, "Mo Yunjing, do you really think I wouldn't know what you've done Rest assured, this king will definitely find out your deeds!"
"Besides, your princess...This king has set his sights on her!"
Nothing he said could cause a fluctuation in Mo Yunjing's emotions, except for the last sentence which successfully made Mo Yunjing look at him.
Mo Yunjing's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Mo Yunze's men quickly shielded Mo Yunze behind them, but Mo Yunze just laughed a few times, "So you care so much about that woman."
Mo Yunjing looked at him with a cold and gloomy expression. His voice was icy and bone-chilling, "If you want to die by my hand, just come at me!"
After finishing his words, Mo Yunjing rode his horse away, and Yunliu followed suit.
At this time, Mo Yunze’s people whispered, “Your Highness, the Emperor’s men have already left.”
"This king knows, I will return home!"
Mo Yunze just deliberately provoked Mo Yunjing, he wanted Mo Yunjing to attack him. His father's men saw it from the shadows and would definitely report back. Then the emperor would know how to handle Mo Yunjing!
As long as the father attacks An Xue Tang, he can control Mo Yun Jing!
At this moment, in Kunning Palace, Huaxiang was crying heart-wrenchingly.
She was injured at the Northern Frontier Prince's Mansion before, and it took her a long time to recover. Now she is quickly entering the palace to file a complaint.
The Empress is the head of the harem, and even the eldest princess born to the Empress has been wronged by An Xuetang.
Huaxiang knew that she couldn't kill An Xuetang on her own, so she decided to use the Empress and the Third Princess to get rid of her.
Huaxiang knelt before the Empress, weeping bitterly and recounting everything An Xuetang had done to her.
The Empress, upon hearing this, was furious. After a long silence, she slammed her fist on the table and declared, "This An Xue Tang truly believes she is someone important! To dare harm others so recklessly! Just wait and see how I punish her!"
Hua Xiang choked back tears, "Your Majesty, An Xue Tang is now the Northern Border King's beloved. No one can touch her."
"Hmph, so what if she's the North Border King's darling This palace is the empress, could it be that I can't handle one woman"
The Empress had long wanted to harm An Xuetang, but previously the Emperor had already turned the page on the matter of An Xuetang harming the Third Princess in the main hall. She hadn't found a suitable excuse afterward either.
Now that there's the matter of Huaxiang, she has a reason.
Thinking of this, the Empress looked at the maid beside her, "Send my order, let An Xue Tang enter the palace. This palace has something to ask her."
The maid curtsied. "Yes."
Hua Xiang heard the empress say this, a triumphant smile appeared on her face. As long as she let An Xue Tang enter the palace, there was no way An Xue Tang could walk out alive.
He had already told her that as long as An Xuetang entered the palace, he would find a way to make sure she never returned.
After the empress's people left, the empress looked at Hua Xiang kneeling on the ground with a deep meaning in her eyes, and a subtle plan began to form in her heart.
Huaxiang has learned a lot over the years. Now that the Crown Prince has been rescued by Mo Yunjing, so... there's no need for Huaxiang to stay any longer.
If I could achieve a double victory today, using Hua Xiang to take care of An Xue Tang… that would undoubtedly be a perfect way to handle things.en Bai Han used light work to leave, Feng Ming made his move.With Feng Ming's assistance, An Xue Tang quickly suppressed Bai Han. With Feng Ming present, Bai Han couldn't injure An Xue Tang at all, bu...
