Chapter 23. The Story of Xiaobao (End)
"Mo Yuchen, get out of here!" Mo Suiyun, wearing a dragon robe, rushed over with a sword in his hand. [1 The update speed of the romance content on Tianshu Chinese website is faster than a rocket. Do you dare not believe it?
Prince Mo stood up in frustration and jumped onto the pavilion to avoid the long sword that Mo Suiyun chopped at him without hesitation. He said angrily, "Mo Suiyun, are you done yet? It's just a small matter, but you make it seem like I killed your parents!" It was really unreasonable and intolerant.
Mo Suiyun almost spurted blood: Even if Mo Yuchen really killed his parents, he would not be so angry. Now, whenever he thought of what Mo Xiaobao had done, Mo Suiyun was so angry that he wanted to tear him into pieces.
"Mo Yuchen, get down here. I'm going to kill you!" Mo Suiyun roared, pointing his sword at the black-clothed young man squatting on the pavilion.
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Mo Xiaobao sneered. He didn't want to jump down and be chopped by him. What if Mo Suiyun couldn't chop him and instead got angry to death? Then the people of Nanchu would think that he had entered the palace to assassinate him.
Anyway, today has been a very pleasant day. Looking at Mo Suiyun who was gasping for breath due to anger, Mo Xiaobao finally decided to call it a day and stop playing.
He stood up and clapped his hands, saying leisurely: "It's getting late, and my little Lin'er is still waiting for me to go back for dinner. See you tomorrow." Then, in the gazes of everyone, Prince Mo flew away into the air, like a black eagle, and disappeared outside the high palace wall after a few rises and falls.
Watching Mo Xiaobao leave leisurely, Mo Suiyun sighed in frustration. Is he really not as good as Mo Xiaobao? He worked so hard, so painstakingly, but still not as good as that seemingly carefree 15 or 16-year-old boy? Are the people in Dingwang Mansion really so blessed? I don't believe it!
Mo Xiaobao staggered out of the palace. He still felt a little guilty for disrupting Mo Suiyun's coronation ceremony. But there was nothing he could do. Who made Mo Suiyun choose such a good candidate for the empress? If the daughter of the Qian family was made the empress, Mo Suiyun might really have complete control over the entire court of Southern Chu, which was not what he wanted to see. He still wanted to live a stable life for a few more years, and didn't want to have to worry about Mo Suiyun and Lei Tengfeng's calculations all day long. So he had to let the Qian family down.
"Your Highness, something has happened!" Just as he was standing outside the palace gate with his hands behind his back, feeling sad about the passing of time, Qin Lu quickly rushed over, holding Mo Yufeng in one hand, and said in a deep voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Leng Junhan was being chased." Qin Lie said.
"How come?"
"You are the one who caused this trouble. Do you think Mo Suiyun is such a pushover?!" Qin Lie said angrily. He instigated Leng Junhan to seduce Mo Suiyun's fiancée. It was a pity that he could think of this. Even if Mo Suiyun was useless, he was still the king of a country. Being provoked like this was like trampling on his face. Even if Mo Suiyun would not do anything to Mo Yuchen, it was still okay to kill Leng Junhan to vent his anger.
Mo Xiaobao's handsome face darkened slightly, "Where is Leng Xiaodai?"
"Leave the city! Mo Suiyun sent many masters from the palace to hunt him down." After all, this is Mo Suiyun's territory. If they fight head-on, they will definitely not be able to win.
Mo Xiaobao cursed and ordered, "You protect Lin'er, I'll go find Leng Xiaodai." After that, without waiting for Qin Lie's response, he jumped up and headed towards the city gate.
Outside Nanjing City, Leng Junhan's white clothes were stained with a lot of blood, some of which were his and some were others'. Fortunately, his injuries were not serious. He looked down at the wounds on his body helplessly, and then looked back. The eunuchs who had been chasing him had not caught up yet. He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the hillside to rest for a while.
"This time things have really gotten out of hand, Mo Yuchen, go to hell!" Leng Junhan said unhappily.
"Huo... Young Master Huo..." Beside Leng Junhan, the eldest daughter of the Qian family looked at the blood-stained boy with a pale face and asked with tears in her eyes, "What happened to you?"
Leng Junhan rolled his eyes, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to tell you? My last name is not Huo, but Leng."
Miss Qian said with tears in her eyes: "Whether your last name is Huo or Leng, I will follow you."
"Stupid." Leng Junhan muttered in a low voice. He was a big fool for being soft-hearted. He actually worried that she would be killed by the people sent by Mo Suiyun. He was the one who suffered the consequences. Now he was dealing with the masters of the Nanchu Palace with a woman who knew nothing. Leng Junhan felt that if he died, it must be because of his stupidity.
"Here!" The voice of the eunuch guard came again not far behind. Leng Junhan rolled his eyes, grabbed Miss Qian and quickly rushed forward.
"Where do you want to escape to? Why don't you surrender quickly!" A pair of men blocked Leng Junhan's way. Leng Junhan sighed and secretly greeted Mo Xiaobao's ancestors one by one in his heart. Then he smiled kindly and said, "Everyone, what does this mean?"
Those who were sent by Mo Suiyun to hunt down the empress who had escaped from marriage were naturally Mo Suiyun's confidants. How could they be easily fooled by Leng Junhan? The leading guard leader sneered and said, "Sir, why do you have to ask questions when you know the answer? Just surrender and we can explain to His Majesty. If we fight, any damage will be uncompensable."
Miss Qian stepped forward and stood behind Leng Junhan, saying loudly: "I won't go back! I don't want to be a queen!"
The guard commander twitched his lips. Did you really think that the position of queen must belong to you? Now you can't be the queen even if you want to.
"Your Majesty has ordered that the daughter of the Qian family has betrayed the grace of the Emperor and shall be put to death immediately."
Miss Qian's face turned pale. She was just a naive and spoiled girl. Although she had learned etiquette and national law, she had forgotten all of it when she was overwhelmed by her emotions. Only when she was reminded of it did she suddenly remember what the king's majesty was.
"Master Leng, for the sake of Prince Ding, as long as you follow us back, we promise not to do anything to Master Leng."
Leng Junhan sneered. They really wouldn't touch him at all, but they would use him to negotiate with Mo Xiaobao so that they could get some benefits.
"Cold...Mr. Cold..."
Seeing that Miss Qian was still looking at Leng Junhan in a foolish manner, the guard leader sneered, "Miss Qian, do you think Master Leng really likes you? He is just following the orders of Prince Ding and deliberately teasing you."
Hearing this, Miss Qian was shocked and turned around to look at Leng Junhan. The rare guilty look on the face of the young man in white clothes stained with blood told her that this time it was not the emperor who sent people to sow discord, but it was very likely the case.
"W-why?"
Leng Junhan sighed, secretly cursing Mo Xiaobao for doing evil. It was fine to tease those with bad intentions, but it was really a guilty conscience to deceive such an ignorant girl. However, Leng Junhan also understood that Mo Xiaobao's real intention was not to be so bored as to want to tease an ignorant girl. This Miss Qian was just a cannon fodder sacrificed by Mo Xiaobao when he attacked Mo Suiyun.
"Why...I'm crazy about you, why do you treat me like this?" Miss Qian grabbed Leng Junhan's clothes and asked sadly.
Leng Junhan rolled his eyes, "Boring."
"You...I'm going to kill you!" Miss Qian rushed towards Leng Junhan angrily, stabbing him with a dagger she had taken from somewhere. Leng Junhan frowned and flicked the knife in her hand, "Stupid woman! If you still want to live, don't cause trouble for me!"
"Let's go together!"
The eunuch guards nearby naturally would not watch them entangled, and the leading commander waved his hand, and a group of people rushed over directly.
Although Leng Junhan's martial arts skills were not weak, the eunuchs were not all lazy. After a while, Leng Junhan began to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Just as he was about to become a prisoner, a crisp laugh came from not far away, "Hehe... Brother Junhan, why are you fighting with others here?"
Hearing this, Leng Junhan was delighted and immediately shouted, "Help!"
A white shadow passed by, and the people who were besieging Leng Junhan felt as if they were swept by a gust of wind, and fell to the ground one after another. In a moment, except for Leng Junhan and Miss Qian who was protected by him, everyone else was swept away five or six feet.
"Who is this..." The guard leader was about to get angry, but he took a breath of cold air when he saw the person standing in front of him. The man was dressed in white clothes and had white hair. He was extremely handsome. Just staring at him calmly made him feel infinite pressure. More importantly... this is... "Prince Ding?"
The man in white clothes and white hair, with unparalleled martial arts skills, who else could this man who suddenly appeared be but the retired Prince Ding, Mo Xiuyao?
"Junhan, what are you doing?" A beautiful woman in green clothes with black hair came over with a little girl in moon-white clothes and a delicate figure. She frowned as she looked at Leng Junhan's face covered with blood.
"Princess..." Leng Junhan felt even more ashamed when he saw Ye Li. Fortunately, he met the prince and princess, otherwise he would be in big trouble today.
Mo Xiuyao snorted and said, "What is that kid Mo Yuchen up to again?" At the age of fifteen, Mo Xiaobao finally obtained the right to use his real name. The previous Ding Wang also felt guilty and felt that if his son, who was about to inherit the Ding Wang throne, continued to use a name like Xiaobao, it would damage the dignity of the Ding Wang Mansion.
Leng Junhan smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he ran to Ye Li excitedly and looked at the little girl who was staring at him curiously with a silly smile on her face. "Xin'er sister, do you still remember brother Junhan?"
The little girl hid behind Ye Li and rolled her eyes at the smirking person, "I don't remember why I called Jun Han brother, Jun Han brother is so dirty."
"Uh..." Leng Junhan then realized with dismay that he was covered in blood. It was obvious that the clean little girl Yu Ya refused to let him hug her.
"Your Highness Prince Ding, we..." the guard commander said cautiously after getting up from the ground.
Mo Xiuyao waved his hand and said calmly: "I am no longer Prince Ding."
The guard commander choked up and looked at the great god in front of him with some embarrassment, not knowing how to address him. Should he call him Tai Wang? Although this person has white hair like snow, his youthful appearance is really hard to call him.
Ye Li smiled and shook her head, "Don't make things difficult for me. This gentleman can do as he pleases."
The guard commander looked at Ye Li gratefully and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did this kid offend Mo Suiyun? Do we need to mobilize the eunuchs to hunt him down?"
The guard commander hesitated for a moment, but finally explained everything. Although Prince Ding had already broken with Nanchu, his influence was still there. If they didn't give an explanation to the people who chased and killed Licheng in front of Prince Ding, they would be in big trouble.
After hearing the whole story, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li both frowned. However, the reasons for their frowns were different.
"He's good at causing trouble but not good at cleaning up the mess. This kid deserves to be punished." This is what Mo Xiuyao thought.
"The older he gets, the more he loves to make noises. Who on earth called him that?" This was Ye Li's thought.
"Go back and tell Mo Suiyun that I have taken these two away. If he wants someone else, let him come to me." Mo Xiuyao said calmly. His son has caused trouble, and he has to deal with it when he encounters him. Even for Leng Haoyu's sake, he can't let anyone take Leng Junhan away. "
"This..." The guard commander hesitated. His Majesty was really angry this time. If he hadn't had a bit of rationality left, he would have chopped off even the young Prince Ding. If they couldn't bring anyone back, His Majesty would have a hard time explaining himself.
Mo Xiuyao narrowed his eyes, "Why? You want me to go and explain to Mo Suiyun in person?"
"I dare not do this."
"Jun Han!" In the distance, Mo Xiaobao came flying like a big black bird, but when he saw the people standing there, he almost fell headfirst and hit a tree.
"Brother!" The only one who was truly happy was the little princess of the Mo family, Mo Yuya.
"My dear baby!" Mo Xiaobao immediately forgot his worries about Leng Junhan and rushed towards his sister with joy. While kissing his sister's moist little face, he also hugged his mother, "Mom, I miss you so much."
Ye Li sighed helplessly, "You, look at what you did in Jiangnan? Jun Han was almost seriously injured."
In front of Ye Li, Mo Xiaobao was always a good and lovely son. "Mother, I was wrong. I was not thoughtful enough. You and father left suddenly. I am so miserable alone..."
"With your uncle here, why do you have to work so hard?" Mo Xiuyao said calmly. You bastard, you still want to cheat Ah Li's sympathy! You really deserve to be punished!
"Mother..." No matter what, she continued to act coquettishly.
Ye Li patted his shoulder, and said with some emotion, "Okay, go and sort things out first. If you mess up again, I will not forgive you!" His son had grown up and it was too late to rub his little head. The sixteen-year-old Mo Xiaobao was already much taller than Ye Li.
"Yes, mother!" Mo Xiaobao answered loudly. Holding Xin'er in one hand, he walked to the guard leader and raised his eyebrows and said, "You go back first. I will talk to Mo Suiyun later."
"I'm here, how do you want to talk to me?" Mo Suiyun's angry voice came from not far away. It was obvious that Mo Xiaobao had left the city first and Mo Suiyun followed him. However, Mo Xiaobao still had to waste a lot of time looking for him, and the two arrived at about the same time.
Mo Xiaobao raised his eyebrows, "Hey, Brother Suiyun, why are you out too?"
Mo Suiyun snorted lightly and gave Miss Qian a cold glance as he passed by her, causing Miss Qian to immediately lower her head in fear.
"My nephew has met Uncle Ding and Auntie Wang."
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty is already the ruler of a country, but we cannot afford to treat this uncle and aunt. Your Majesty does not need to be so polite."
"Etiquette cannot be abolished. According to seniority, we should call him Uncle Wang." Mo Suiyun said.
Ye Li sighed slightly, looked at Mo Xiaobao's playful smile, then looked at Mo Suiyun's sullen expression, shook her head and said, "My son is naughty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Mo Suiyun glanced at Mo Xiaobao angrily, but he had to save face for Prince Ding and Princess Ding, so he could only say, "Princess, you are too serious. I also think... Prince Ding is still young, I won't bother with him."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Ye Li nodded and smiled.
In the end, Mo Suiyun returned to the city empty-handed with the eunuchs. Not only did he not arrest Leng Junhan, he also ignored Miss Qian. He only warned Miss Qian not to appear in the territory of Nanchu again.
"Mom is really amazing. All problems are solved once she takes action." Holding his little sister in his arms, Mo Xiaobao patted the horse wildly.
Ye Li glanced at him calmly and asked, "What are you going to do with this girl?"
Mo Xiaobao didn't even blink, and smiled and said, "Isn't this Leng Junhan's business? Why would you ask me? I don't know her, and she doesn't like me."
"Mo, Yu, Chen!" Leng Junhan gritted his teeth. How could there be such a shameless person in this world? Who could have done this to him? But under Ye Li's gaze, Leng Junhan could only walk towards Miss Qian obediently, "That... Miss Qian..." I didn't mean to lie to you. All this was forced upon me by that despicable Mo Xiaobao. If you want to hate him, go ahead and hate him.
"Pa!" Miss Qian slapped Leng Junhan hard on the face, "You shameless villain! Go to hell!" After saying that, Miss Qian left in tears.
Mo Xiaobao raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you chase him?"
Leng Junhan was furious, "Why do you want me to chase after her?"
Mo Xiaobao bared his teeth, "You've heard what Mo Suiyun said. She can't stay in Nanchu anymore. She's a lady from a wealthy family, but now she's alone and has nowhere to go..."
"Mo Xiaobao, you will get your retribution one day!" Leng Junhan rushed towards the direction where Miss Qian was running, and his vicious curses came from afar.
Mo Xiaobao chuckled in his heart, retribution and the like are just self-consolation for fools and the weak.
"Mo Xiaobao..." Mo Xiuyao's voice came from behind, "It seems that you are indeed leisurely. Even being the Prince Ding can't make you stable. In this case... After returning to Licheng, copy all the history books in the study. Recalling the ancients will help you gain more knowledge in your mind. I will let Xu Qingchen supervise you."
Mo Xiaobao's handsome face, which was originally smiling slowly, suddenly collapsed. He didn't have to wait for a day, his retribution had already come.
So... Young Master Mo, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, it's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. Those who cheat others will always be cheated by others.
-------A side note-------
Sweat, I have been afraid to update for a long time, mainly because I have delayed it for too long, which makes me want to hide like an ostrich. I will quietly put it up at night... hehe. In the past two months, on the one hand, new articles have been updated daily, and on the other hand, the physical version has been tangled up. Now it is finally settled, and the physical version is renamed "A Good Marriage in a Prosperous Age" and is scheduled to be released in early August. It is the first time to publish, and I am very nervous. Almost every time the editor q me, I will be tangled up for several days. As a result, the extra chapter has been delayed for so long. Of course, a certain phoenix is also responsible for laziness. Oh, don't hit me.
Also, should the affairs of the Ding Wang family be written as a separate chapter? If I write a separate article, it won't be too long, so why not stop here?
