Legitimate Daughter Never Be Concubine - C144
“Aren’t you afraid of being discovered? “If those words reach His Majesty’s ears, I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect these two.” Su Jinyue looked at Mo Li with a faint smile.
“That won’t happen, royal father is probably already considering how to punish me right now. He should have decided by now, just waiting for me to get back. “Since that’s the case, I only have ill intentions for not handing over these two people.” Mo Li remained calm.
After the decision was made, Su Jinyue brought the two of them back together with Mo Li. Since Luo Mingyu’s carriage had left, and their carriage had been taken away by the group of refugees, the two of them could only return.
On the way, the woman watched Mo Li’s back and couldn’t help but ask, “Your Highness, what do you want to do with the two of us?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet, but… There won’t be any good results. ” Mo Li’s tone was cold. Especially towards this woman, he didn’t have a good impression of her at all.
After all, the real mastermind of this matter was most likely this woman. Because he saw something familiar on her. It was something that made him want to kill someone the moment he saw it!
Naturally, he did not mention this matter. This was his secret. A secret that could not be known.
Over here, two of them were in front while the other two were behind. However, at this moment, the Imperial Palace was bustling with noise and excitement. Several princes entered the palace at the same time.
Such scenes, other than the palace feasts, were truly too few!
Besides, they wouldn’t want to see His Majesty at the same time even if it was a palace banquet.
Outside the royal study, the three princes stood waiting for a summons. The emperor’s personal eunuchs came out from the imperial study and looked at the three of them. They said respectfully, “Your Highness, His Majesty invites the three of you inside.”
“Yes sir!” The three of them said in unison.
Inside the imperial study, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, reviewing the reports. He looked at his three sons and asked with a stern face, “Why have the three of you come here together?”
“Father, this son has something that he wishes to speak with you about.” The first to speak was the Ninth Prince. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and said, “Today, your son has heard that King Luo has left the city.”
“What?” The emperor was also stunned! It had to be known that Luo Mingyu had always been under his control, and had never made any mistakes over the years.
King Luo’s Residence guarded the border, while King Luo was a hostage in the capital. If King Luo left the city without a decree, it would be considered a conspiracy.
This was a mutual agreement between the Luo royal family and the royal family. And now he left the city in the open and did not report it? The emperor’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Ninth Prince with a friendlier expression. “Is what Old Ninth saying true?”
“This son does not dare to lie to royal father. If royal father does not believe me, you can send some guards to guard the city gates. Once King Luo returns, you will be discovered.” The Ninth Prince said respectfully.
Then, the emperor gave him a deep look.
To the side, a trace of ridicule flashed through the Seventh Prince’s eyes. Return? It’s just that royal father is thinking of how to make it so that Prince Luo can’t return, so that he can punish the Luo Family and take back their power.
As long as the accusation of King Luo’s rebellion was executed, all the powers within the Luo Palace would become royalty. And that was what royal father wanted the most.
“Ninth Brother is right, Quan De, go pass on my orders and send troops to guard the city gate. If King Luo returns, bring him to me!” “I would like to see how my Mo family will let him down!” The Emperor said coldly.
“Imperial Father, please wait …” This time, the one who spoke was the Seventh Prince. When the emperor heard this, his expression immediately turned soft. “Seventh Brother, you also have something to say?”
“Yes, this is exactly what I wanted to say.” The Seventh Marquis said.
“Oh? Could it be that Ninth Brother had something else to say? Seventh Brother, you’ve never been involved in politics before, but today you’re quite warm-hearted. “Fine, just say it, I’ll just listen.” The emperor half-jokingly chatted with the Seventh Prince. The way these two interacted with each other also made the Ninth Prince extremely envious.
If one were to say that he was jealous of the Crown Prince’s status, then he was jealous of the relationship between the Seventh Prince and his father. This was something that he could not hope for no matter what.
Thinking of this, the ninth prince felt defeated.
“Imperial Father, actually, King Luo would have left today to go outside the city because his Highness was stopped by a group of refugees from Cloud City. Only then would there be a scene where King Luo went to rescue him.
The reason King Luo left the imperial city was because of the incident that happened so suddenly. It was not like Ninth Brother said, where he left by himself. ” Seventh Prince’s attitude was respectful, but his words made the emperor frown.
No matter what, Luo Mingyu had left the Imperial City, and that was the truth!
“Royal father, your relationship with your brother is very good. If you were to punish your brother indiscriminately, I’m afraid your brother would be dissatisfied.” He could see that the emperor was unhappy, so he pushed everything to Mo Li without any hesitation.
After that, the emperor’s face grew even darker.
For outsiders, he was wary of Luo Mingyu, but for insiders, he was wary of the Crown Prince that he had personally appointed. That child was simply too smart, and he rarely made any mistakes.
In addition to the orders he had received back then, he was destined to be the next Emperor. And now, even though the next Emperor of the Ming Empire had grown up, he was still in good health. If this went on, who could guarantee that the child wouldn’t take his place?
On one side, he did not want to kill the crown prince. After all, that was the future of the Ming Empire, but on the other side, the selfishness of an emperor made him suspicious.
“Father, your son thinks that we should first bring the two of them back and interrogate them. After that, we should handle this matter in secret. Regardless of whether it was because of King Luo’s betrayal or the matter of the refugees, outsiders should not know about it.
Otherwise, it will cause chaos in the capital. ” Noticing that the Emperor was hesitating, the Seventh Prince hurriedly said.
When the Emperor heard this, he expressed his agreement. Indeed, if word of this got out, it would be at the same time as the return of Master Mu. The upheaval in the capital would be even more intense.
At the end of the day, it was all because of their disappointing sons! I’m still here, and they’re already fighting over it! Thinking up to this point, the Emperor couldn’t help but feel depressed in his heart.
“Father, this son also has something to say.” Right when the emperor was angry, the Sixth Prince also opened his mouth. He was still the same sick man, looking at the emperor with a calm expression.
There was no admiration from the children, nor was there any respect.
The emperor felt infuriated just by looking at it. However, it was not good to be so heartless. He could only say, “Sixth Brother, is it because of this matter as well?”
“This son came here for the matter regarding Cloud City.” The Sixth Prince respectfully replied.
Cloud City? The emperor frowned and remembered that the person who had said that the crown prince would be stopped by a refugee from Cloud City. He said patiently, “Speak.”
“Father, all large cities and city lords are indeed disadvantageous to the imperial city. However, if every city is like Cloud City, in the end, it will only disappoint your people completely.” Father, all large cities and city lords are disadvantageous to the imperial city.
The Sixth Prince said seriously.
Hearing that, the emperor immediately slammed the memorial. “Which one of those City Lords are not a tiger wolf? Which one of them isn’t keeping an eye on my Ming Empire? You’re a prince, yet you’re not ambitious. You only want to adopt a soft policy and live up to my teachings?
Sixth Brother, I thought you were just physically weak. I didn’t expect your heart to be so weak, so unable to bear the consequences! ”
“Imperial Father, this son is just …” The Sixth Prince frowned.
“Enough!” Get out! ” The Emperor looked exhausted as he spoke. The three of them saw that no one was going to get any benefits, so they all walked out.
