augh, she cleared her throat and said weakly, "Today's braised pork and sweet and sour ribs were actually made by your fifth uncle."Mo Junyi : "..."The child was so scared that his hand holding the ch...The emperor's tone gave no indication of his feelings. The lieutenant shivered, but still mustered the courage to beg for mercy:
"Your Majesty, please forgive my transgression. It was indeed I who brought the Fourth Prince into the palace. But...but I believe what the Fourth Prince said is true and extremely urgent. I...I couldn't delay."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Ten thousand urgent Then tell me, what did the Fourth Prince say to you that made you feel so urgently"
That general knelt, his lower half on the ground, his body trembling slightly. "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince said he found that the Red Nation is preparing for war. I believe this matter is indeed serious, so..."
The Emperor's face darkened. "So you can just ignore my decree and bring people into the palace without permission!"
The emperor's voice was filled with rage. Before the deputy general could continue pleading for mercy, he ordered him to be executed on the spot.
At the start, an emperor who could ascend to his throne wouldn't be foolish.
No matter the reason, this deputy general was able to easily let Mo Yunze in, which shows that he had long been bought by Mo Yunze. An emperor like him, who is suspicious by nature, would naturally not allow this deputy general to live any longer.
Mo Yunze moved his lips, wanting to plead for the deputy general, but the emperor seemed to have seen through his intentions. He snorted coldly:
"You can't even save yourself, do you think you can save others I hope you haven't deceived me, or else...don't blame me for disregarding our father-son relationship."
After finishing his words, the Emperor flicked his sleeves and said, "Bring the Fourth Prince here to kneel in the main hall. Also, send someone to the Prince of Beijiang's residence and inquire about…"
"Your Majesty."
Before the emperor could finish his words, another soldier rushed in, his face grim. He knelt before the emperor:
"Your Majesty, the King of Beijiang has sent a messenger with a letter. The messenger said that the matter is urgent and Your Majesty should read it as soon as possible."
The Emperor frowned, and without a word, he instructed the eunuch beside him to bring the letter over.
The old eunuch unfolded the letter and quickly showed it to the emperor.
It is indeed Mo Yunjing's handwriting. The contents of the letter are about Chi Guo's affairs, and of course, Mo Yunjing has more information than Mo Yunze. Apart from transporting a large amount of grain and grass to the border between the two countries, most of Chi Guo's troops have also begun to transfer to the border.
It seems that the Chiguok is really going to fight the Tianbaji Kingdom.
The emperor's face was frighteningly grim. He fell silent for a moment, then tore the letter in half with a vicious snap, "This Red Country, now it dares to have such ambition!"
Mo Yunze heard the emperor say this, and he let out a slight sigh of relief. As long as Mo Yunjing also spoke about this matter, what he said tonight would be believed eight out of ten times by the emperor.
Anyway, eight points plus his injuries are enough.
As expected, the Emperor recovered and glanced at Mo Yunze with indifference. “You've already told me about the issue. Do you have any solutions”
Mo Yunze pursed his lips, frowned, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Father, who in the court doesn't know that the Fifth Brother is a war god No matter what Red Country wants to do, my son believes that as long as the Fifth Brother sits in command, Red Country won't gain anything."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. “You want me to send your fifth brother to meet them in battle”
Mo Yunze didn't hesitate at all. "My son knows that Father is reluctant to have the fifth brother go on an adventure, but my son has to admit that the fifth brother is indeed a rare and precious leader in the army."
"Back then, the Northern Frontier fought against the Lan Nation for many years. The Northern Frontier army was almost no match for the Lan Army. But ever since my fifth brother took charge of the Northern Frontier, the Northern Frontier has hardly ever been defeated. Everyone can see my fifth brother's abilities, so in my humble opinion, to make the Chi Nation fear us, we must send my fifth brother into battle."
Now, in order to push Mo Yunjing out, Mo Yunze is desperately praising Mo Yunjing in every way. Only if Mo Yunjing leaves the capital can his plan be implemented.
Now his father's attitude is becoming increasingly perplexing, especially since he's now allowing Mo Yun Jing to interfere in court affairs. This leaves him feeling deeply uneasy and threatened.
He had been eyeing that throne for so many years, watching as one by one, those who posed a threat fell. Mo Yunchen, Mo Yunren, he believed the most threatening of them all was no longer an influence to him.
He never would have imagined that in the end, it was Mo Yunjing who became his biggest competitor.
No matter what he does, he wants to get Mo Yunjing out of the capital first so that his plan can continue.
After hearing Mo Yunze's words, the Emperor remained silent for a while. His eyes, which betrayed no emotion, were fixed on Mo Yunze, offering no indication of his stance.
Such silence lasted for quite a while, not even the fire in the courtyard had been contained, before the Emperor finally spoke in a languid voice, “Enough, I will take care of this matter myself.”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the eunuchs beside him, "Arrange for someone to send the Fourth Prince back to his residence and have the imperial physician treat him."
The eunuch immediately understood and quickly helped Mo Yunze up, "Your Highness, please come with me. I'll call for the imperial physician right away."
Although Mo Yunze didn't receive the emperor's reply, he was still somewhat unwilling. However, considering his situation tonight, it was best to leave the palace as soon as possible for his own safety.
He bowed to the emperor and thanked him before following the eunuch out.
The emperor glanced at Liu Lan with indifference. Seeing that she was indeed frightened, he ordered someone to arrange a new residence for her before leaving.
After the Emperor left, Liu Lan immediately collapsed to the ground, barely...too close a call....
Fortunately, Mo Yunze reacted quickly. Otherwise, if the Emperor had discovered anything... She and Mo Yunze would have died without a place to bury them tonight.
Thankfully, it all worked out in the end.
Meanwhile, the eunuch beside the emperor had just sent Mo Yunze back to the Fourth Prince's residence. The imperial physician followed closely behind and examined Mo Yunze's injuries. After that, even the imperial physician himself was taken aback in fear.
Mo Yunze's arm injury is rather serious, but thankfully it didn't damage any bones. It's just flesh wound. While it will leave a scar, it won't affect his ability to wield swords and guns in the future.
After everything was settled, Mo Yunze's steward sent the imperial physician and the elderly eunuch away together.
Mo Yunze told everyone to leave, and as he was getting ready to get up, Yun Liu and Ning'er suddenly appeared in the room.
The two of them appeared in Mo Yunze's room without any disguise, openly and brazenly.
Seeing these two, Mo Yunze immediately reacted, his face darkened and said, "It was you who schemed against this king!"
He used an affirmative sentence.
Ninger remained expressionless, offering no denial. In a frigid tone, she stated:
"Fourth Prince, our Princess has a message for you: seven days have passed, and the Fourth Prince has yet to bring the person to our Princess's side. Therefore, tonight's affair is to be considered interest collected by our Princess. Our Princess continues to give the Fourth Prince three more days. If, after three days, our Princess still does not see the person she needs to, then our Princess will not give the Fourth Prince any further opportunities."
After Ning'er finished speaking, she glanced at Yunliu beside her and then turned to leave.
Yunliu looked at Mo Yunze and sneered, "The Fourth Prince's taste is indeed very... diverse."
After he finished speaking, he followed Ning'er closely. influence rivaling that of Mo Yun Jing.Therefore, in this situation, if the emperor still insisted on sending troops to attack the Northern Border or attacking Mo Yunjing and Zi Ling, the people woul...
