Chapter 1024: Probe
ssible tonight anyway. I can't return to normal right now. Give me a few more hours, let me recover as quickly as possible, and then we can begin."After being retaliated against, she had no more energ...Zhao Li glanced at his younger sister, seeing the tender and lingering look in her eyes as she stared at Mo Yunjing. His brow furrowed.
After careful consideration and investigation, he truly felt that marrying his sister to Mo Yunjing was the best choice for her visit to Tianba Kingdom. After all, Mo Yunjing's abilities are undeniable.
Looking at how much Mo Yunjing was willing to do for that princess, he suddenly felt that Zhao Si's desire to marry Mo Yunjing was probably a delusion. Seeing Mo Yunjing like this, he didn't even care about the emperor of Tianba Kingdom, so he definitely wouldn't care about him and his sister.
So if Zhao Si insists on causing trouble in this matter, let alone marrying Mo Yunjing, whether she can survive is a question.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered Han Yun's advice to them!
Perhaps... he should consider changing partners.
Zhao Li thought to himself, he glanced at the emperor seated in the main position, seeing a hint of helplessness towards Mo Yun Jing in his eyes. He understood immediately, and stood up to walk beside Zhao Si, pulling her aside.
Zhao Si was unhappy. She had been standing not far from Mo Yunjing, and when her older brother pulled her like that, she immediately pouted with displeasure and said, "Brother Huang, what are you doing"
Zhao Li glanced at her, lowering his voice and saying, "Don't cause trouble."
Zhao Si clenched her fists, but she quickly understood what her elder brother meant.
Mo Yunjing was standing up for his princess, if she spoke now he might do something to her.
Thinking about this, Zhao Si reluctantly obeyed Zhao Li's words even though she didn't want to.
While the Emperor was extremely displeased with Mo Yunjing's actions, and of course furious that Mo Yunjing had shown him no respect whatsoever, he knew how to keep things in perspective.
He needs Mo Yunjing now, and he has also heard of that mysterious weapon, which was made by An Xue Tang. So right now, he can't afford to completely turn his back on Mo Yunjing and An Xue Tang for the sake of a lowly concubine daughter of an official.
Thus, when Cheng Shilang once again pleaded for leniency, the emperor coldly said, "Cheng Shilang cannot educate his daughter, so today, Prince of Beijang has done him a favor. Cheng Shilang should say no more."
After finishing his speech, the emperor glanced at Xuan Guo’s siblings. "Allow me to apologize for this interruption, Your Highness, Your Highness. Please, have a seat. Let us all raise our glasses in a toast to welcome our esteemed Third Prince and Sixth Princess."
The emperor had spoken, and no one dared to object. They all responded with "yes."
Zhao Si wanted to stay by Mo Yunjing's side, but unfortunately she was a woman and couldn't sit at the men's table.
And Mo Yunjing walked to the spot beside Mo Yunze. Everyone followed the emperor's lead and raised their cups to toast Zhao Li and Zhao Si for a safe journey.
After finishing a cup of wine, Mo Yunjing found an excuse to leave. Even the emperor wanted to stop him, but he couldn't.
Zhao Si originally wanted to stop Mo Yunjing from leaving. She had only just seen Mo Yunjing, how could she bear to let him leave like this But before she could speak, she was stopped by Zhao Li's sharp gaze.
She still couldn't say anything.
The palace banquet was rather casual, and both Zhao Li and Zhao Si noticed the Emperor of Tianba's disinterest towards them.
Zhao Li couldn't figure it out for a while. He wondered if the Tianba Emperor's confidence was due to the secret weapon in Mo Yun Jing's hands. So he didn't act rashly and treated the emperor with courtesy.
After the palace banquet, the emperor returned to his bedroom and let out a deep sigh.
The flowers tending to him couldn't help but subtly sneer, then feigned concern and said, "Your Majesty, why are you sighing Is there something troubling you"
The emperor raised his eyes to glance at the flowers, then pulled her into his arms, holding her possessively.
Out of the emperor's sight, Huāduǒr revealed a look of disdain, but she quickly concealed it.
The emperor sighed again, "Today that rebellious son defied me in front of so many people. If I hadn't been wary of those who lurk with ill intentions, I wouldn't have tolerated him for a single day!"
"…"
A tremor ran through Huāduǒ's heart. Who else could the emperor be referring to with that "he" but Mò Yúnjǐng
In recent days, the emperor's attitude towards Mo Yunjing has changed dramatically. She, like others, believed that the emperor truly felt paternal affection for Mo Yunjing.
Besides, the emperor had recently delegated even political affairs to Mo Yunjing. It wasn't unreasonable for her to think that way.
The astonishment on Hua Duoer's face didn't escape the emperor. He, however, continued to speak for himself, saying, "It's also my fault that my sons aren't capable. If they were all as competent as that rebellious son, I wouldn't be feeling this anger right now!"
First, Mo Yunren was crippled, then Mo Yunze, everything he did was useless. He wanted to rely on his sons besides Mo Yunjing, but one by one they were useless, and he had no way at all.
However... even if this throne were given to Mo Yunren, he would never pass it on to Mo Yunjing, the one he hates most.
Now, intentionally letting him handle political affairs is simply to give him some thoughts and have him help resist Mo Yunchen first.
He just wanted to know how far the two brothers could go against each other.
The little flower lowered the emotions in her eyes and then feigned nonchalance, saying, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Your health is important."
The Emperor rarely mentioned these things in front of her, so she didn't dare to respond now. She wasn't sure if the Emperor had suddenly told her this to test her.
The emperor indeed looked at her with a hint of satisfaction after hearing what she said.
He had always disliked concubines interfering in politics. The reason he suddenly brought this up with Huaduo'er was mainly because he had seen Huaduo'er's gaze linger on Moyun Jing for a few seconds more than usual in the hall today.
He couldn't help but suspect, for now that he thought about it, the day he had met Huāduǒr was actually on his way back from the Northern Frontier Duke's Mansion.
He was afraid that the concubine he had been favoring recently might be Mo Yun Jing's pawn placed by his side.
But the flowers' behavior just now seemed normal.
……
On the other side, Zhao Li and Zhao Si left the palace. As soon as they got into the carriage, Zhao Si couldn't help but complain, "Brother Emperor, why didn't you let me keep Jing Ge Today's palace banquet was meant to welcome us back, but he wasn't there."
Zhao Li's brows furrowed, he gave Zhao Si a speechless look. For this younger sister who was still clueless, he felt helpless, "Si Si, do you really think that even if you speak up and try to keep him, it will change anything Do you truly think you can hold onto the King of Beijang"
Zhao Sī nudged, "How do we know it won't work if we don't try"
"... "
Zhao Li wished he could pry open her head and see what was inside.
He was just about to say something to Zhao Si, but suddenly there were screams from outside the carriage, "There's an assassin! Protect the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the sound of clashing swords and blades erupted from outside.
Zhao Li and Zhao Sixin's hearts tightened, the two looked at each other, Zhao Li patted Zhao Si's shoulder, "Stay quietly in the car and don't move, Big Brother is going to…"
Before Zhao Li could finish his words, their carriage was suddenly split open by someone. Zhao Li hugged Zhao Si and immediately dodged.e repeatedly claimed to care about the emotional bond he had with Princess Xiaoqin over the past decade.Every single word he uttered was pushing Lady Xiaoqin into the fire pit, driving her down a path...
