Chapter 1044: Seven Deadly Sins
ing in agony. But her cries went unanswered. Her two maids had long since been scared unconscious, unable to help her.So she was bitten to a pulp.An Xuetang calmly squatted beside Da Zi, gently stroki...An Xuetang chuckled, “What Is your master blind, and his subordinates not capable enough to see Do we need to remind you that the cooperation talks have failed so obviously”
"... "
Zhao Li and Zhou Zhiyao were both furious. After Zhao Li calmed down a bit, he stared at Mo Yunjing with his bloodshot eyes, "So the King of Beijang is going to declare war on Xuan Guo for this woman"
Mo Yunjing didn't want to say another word to him, but in the end, he still said without emotion, "The Xuan country has many princes. Do you think you have something that benefits this king and is worth this king cooperating with you"
"!"
Zhao Li was obviously not expecting Mo Yunjing to have this plan. He had always thought that even if Mo Yunjing wanted to cooperate, he would definitely choose him, the most favored prince by the emperor. But hearing him say this, he was planning to cooperate with other Xuan Guo princes
No!
This outcome is something he doesn't want to see, nor can he see. If Beijang King were to cooperate with his other brothers, it would be incredibly difficult for the father king to pass the throne down to him.
He absolutely must not allow Mo Yunjing the opportunity to cooperate with anyone other than him.
Even if Mo Yunjing doesn't cooperate with him, it doesn't matter. As long as Mo Yunjing doesn't participate, the chances of the throne falling to him will be much higher.
So no matter what he did, he couldn't give Mo Yunjing a chance to choose someone else.
As Zhao Li's confidante, Zhou Zhiyao naturally knew the current situation of the Xuan Kingdom royal family very well. So when he heard the Northern Border King say this, his heart was in a momentary state of confusion.
The first thing that came to mind was how the situation in Xuan Guo would change if Bei Jiang Wang cooperated with the other princes.
After thinking it over, he became even clearer that if the Prince of Beijng cooperated with other princes, it would create an extremely unfavorable situation for their palace.
Just as he was quickly thinking about how to salvage the current situation, luckily Zhao Li had also reacted. Before he could speak, only to hear Zhao Li suddenly lower his posture.
He looked at Mo Yunjing and said, "Your Majesty the King of Beijang, please don't be angry. My expression just now was problematic. I wasn't threatening Your Majesty the King of Beijang, just that I was eager to cooperate with Your Majesty, so my words were a bit misunderstood, I hope Your Majesty will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
"An Xue Tang raised an eyebrow. Zhao Li was quite flexible, wasn't he"
Mo Yunjing didn't speak, he wouldn't even raise his head.
But Zhao Li's next words surprised everyone.
Zhao Liji looked at Mo Yunjing, who didn't reply. He continued, "King Beijang should understand that Princess Sisi, deeply loved by both myself and my father, has come to Tianba Kingdom for you. If King Beijang is willing, my father will prepare an 'extremely' generous dowry for her so she can marry you."
"..."
An Xuetang almost couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this.
She had previously heard that Zhao Li was very fond of his imperial sister, but it seemed that for the sake of ascending to that position, he was willing to sacrifice Zhao Si without any hesitation.
However... through Zhao Li's words today, she also understood why Zhao Li, despite being the Emperor of Xuan Guo's beloved son, wasn't well-supported by those Xuan Guo ministers in his ascension to the throne.
Because Zhao Li is ambitious, but incompetent, and he doesn't know how to read people or gauge the situation.
Mo Yunjing had treated Zhao Si in this manner before, and anyone could see that Mo Yunjing not only looked down upon the most favored Princess Six of Xuan Guo but also wanted her dead.
Zhaoli, even now, was suggesting that Zhao Si and Mo Yunjing be bound together. Was he sure this would please Mo Yunjing
Although he deliberately mentioned that the Xuan Guo Emperor would prepare a very generous dowry for Zhao Si, what could it possibly amount to
If Mo Yunjing still had hundreds of thousands of Northern Border troops, a generous dowry might have held some allure for him. But now, the Northern Border army is under Mo Yunchen's control. What use is Zhao Si's dowry, no matter how rich, then
Zhao Li's intelligence... no wonder the Emperor of Xuan Guo didn't dare to directly appoint him as Crown Prince. I presume the Emperor of Xuan Guo was afraid that everyone would disobey if he appointed Zhao Li, and secondly, he himself knew that Zhao Li was incapable of shouldering the responsibility, so he has been hesitant to make a decision.
Zhou Zhiyao glanced at King Beijang, sensing the chill emanating from him. His body grew increasingly stiff. He wasn't a fool; he could clearly see how much King Beijang looked down on their sixth princess.
He took a step forward, wanting to remind Zhao Li that trying to win over the King of Beijiang might require a different approach. However, before he could speak, Zhao Li turned to the Princess Consort of Beijiang and suddenly said, "I hear that the Princess Consort is generous and tolerant. She should not object to new people entering the manor, right"
Mo Yunjing originally wanted to directly drive these ignorant people out, but An Xue Tang stopped him.
An Xuetang looked at Zhao Li with a veiled meaning, not giving him any face. "Third Prince, did you listen to some unreliable gossip Anyone who has ever heard of this concubine knows that she has the smallest stomach."
"Zhao Li was taken aback by this, he didn't expect An Xue Tang to play outside the lines, so he didn't know how to refute it for a moment."
In such a situation, who would admit to having a small capacity
Ann Xue Tang just admitted it so openly, and she did it right in front of Mo Yun Jing.
"Just as he was stunned, An Xuetang continued, "Didn't the Third Prince notice that our manor barely has any maids This concubine doesn't even have room for maids, how do you think I could tolerate you placing concubines by my husband's side"
“!”
The moment he heard the word "concubine," Zhao Li couldn't hold back. He stood up abruptly, staring at An Xuetang in disbelief, "You...what did you say Concubine"
An Xuetang was very leisurely. She picked up the teacup on the table at her own pace, took a sip, and that look, simply too arrogant.
Zhao Li had been driven to the brink of madness by anger, and Zhou Zhiyao understood him well. So at this moment, he reached out and gently tugged at Zhao Li's sleeve, signaling for him to calm down.
Having been by Zhao Li's side for so many years, he knew very well how angry Zhao Li was now. But he had already seen the attitude of the King of Beijang.
This King of the Northern Border obviously hadn't thought to stop his Queen from speaking these words, and looking at his Queen, the King of the Northern Border clearly had deep affection in his eyes.
Even the most foolish could see, the King of Northern Frontier was not as rumored. He did not marry this woman out of simple gratitude for saving his life. He clearly favored her deeply, which is why he bestowed upon her the position of Queen despite her humble origins.
Because he understood the attitude of the King of Beijiang, he did not want them to go down and anger this seemingly background-less Princess Consort of Beijiang.
Zhaoli was obviously furious. He didn't take Zhou Zhiyao's pull at all seriously. At this time, Zhaoli glared angrily at An Xuetang, gritted his teeth and scolded, "You... You are jealous! It's clearly a crime of seven transgressions!"cket of her sleeve.“...”He held back, again and again, but ultimately couldn't help but remind him, "Sir, with this thing on you, the smell of medicine is really very strong.""That's exactly the effec...
