Taiping Lie 400. Confirmed, Mo Xiaobao's revenge

Mo Jingli and his party were quickly led to the mourning hall of the General's Mansion where Ye Li was temporarily staying. Because it was temporarily placed here, the mourning hall was not big. The whole hall was covered with white cloth, giving people a cold and desolate feeling. Mo Xiuyao's coffin was parked in the center of the mourning hall, and countless flowers were piled around the coffin. In front of the coffin, a tablet was engraved with: The memorial tablet of Prince Ding Mo Xiuyao.

Standing in the mourning hall, both Mo Jingli and Lei Zhenting felt a moment of nervousness and excitement. They were about to see the corpse of Prince Ding, and as his enemies, it was hard not to be excited.

"Princess?" A-Jian, who was guarding the mourning hall, had red eyes and stared at Mo Jingli and Lei Zhenting in front of him vigilantly. The look he gave Mo Jingli was full of ferocity. If this wasn't Mo Xiuyao's mourning hall, he would have rushed over long ago. Mo Jingli, who knew what he had done to Mo Xiuyao, felt guilty when A-Jian stared at him and couldn't help but take a step back. But he soon became happy again. No matter what he had done, Mo Xiuyao was dead. After so many years of fighting, he finally won. And... Mo Jingli glanced at A-Jian with contempt. It wasn't that easy to kill the little fool who had followed Mo Xiuyao since he was a child.

Ye Li said calmly: "Emperor Chu and King Zhennan want to see the prince."

Ah Jin was stunned, and glared at Mo Jingli fiercely and said, "No! The prince has been buried. How can it be opened again! And... and he..." What Ah Jin wanted to say was that he was the murderer who killed the prince, so how could he be allowed to disturb the prince's sleep.

Lei Zhenting understood A-Jian's idea, stepped forward and said with a smile: "This prince and others really want to see Prince Ding off. Why not let me take a look at Prince Ding to avoid disturbing his peace. What do you think, Princess?" Ye Li frowned, her face obviously a little unhappy, but she did not object. Mo Jingli did not object either. Although he was a little regretful that he could not see Mo Xiuyao's body with his own eyes, the most important thing now was to confirm whether Mo Xiuyao was alive or dead. He believed that Lei Zhenting had no reason to lie to him on this matter.

Ye Li patted A-Jian's shoulder gently and said softly, "Let them see the prince, and they won't bother us again." A-Jian looked at Ye Li. Since Mo Xiuyao passed away, besides his uncle, Ye Li was the person A-Jian trusted the most. Even his fiancée Qing Shuang had to wait behind him. After hearing what Ye Li said, A-Jian glared at Mo Jingli fiercely, walked over, and carefully pushed the lid of the coffin. Because it needed to be sent back to Licheng before being buried, the coffin had not been nailed on yet. A-Jian just pushed it lightly and it was opened.

Mo Jingli and Zhennan Wang Sihao didn't mind Ah Zhen's rudeness, because their minds were all on the open coffin. Lei Zhenting took a few steps forward and smelled a strong aroma. This is a kind of spice used by the royal family to preserve the corpse. Generally, only the nobles above the prince can use it. There is also the fragrance of the golden nanmu, which makes Lei Zhenting frown slightly.

In the coffin, a white-haired man in a white robe embroidered with silver dragons and cloud patterns lay quietly. Although the weather was still cold, there were preservative spices in the coffin, and the coffin itself was placed on a huge piece of ice. Therefore, the corpse had not changed much. If it were not for the paleness that was different from that of a living person, it could even be called lifelike.

Lei Zhenting's sharp eyes saw another scar extending from the inside of the man's right hand, which was exposed on his wrist. Although it had been carefully treated, it was still clearly visible. Thinking about the information he got from Mo Jingli... Lei Zhenting stared at the man's handsome face and frowned. Finally, he raised his hand and reached into the coffin.

"King Zhennan, what are you doing?" Ye Li, who was standing aside, saw his actions and asked with some displeasure.

Lei Zhenting smiled faintly and said, "I noticed that Prince Ding's sleeves were a little messy. I am sorry for being rude." Lei Zhenting calmly pulled the white sleeves, turned around and smiled apologetically at Ye Li.

Ye Li lowered her eyes, "Does the King of Zhennan and the King of Chu have anything else to say... If nothing else..."

Lei Zhenting smiled and said, "Princess, please do as you wish. I will not disturb King Ding's rest."

"Thank you, A-Jian, cover it now." Ye Li softly instructed the A-Jian beside her. A-Jian snorted at Lei Zhenting in anger and went forward to close the coffin again.

After leaving the mourning hall, Mo Jingli and Lei Zhenting were invited to a side courtyard in the general's mansion to rest. Feihong Pass is not Licheng, and now is not the time for Mo Xiuyao to hold a formal funeral, so not many people came. Although the general's mansion is not big, it is still convenient for Lei Zhenting and Mo Jingli to live there.

"Emperor Chu, why don't we have a cup of tea together?" Lei Zhenting asked. Although they only came to pay tribute, it was already late and they had to stay at Feihong Pass for one night before leaving.

Mo Jingli naturally agreed, and he also had many questions to ask Lei Zhenting.

The two of them arrived at Lei Zhenting's courtyard together. After dismissing the maid who brought them tea and snacks, Lei Zhenting smiled and said, "Congratulations, Emperor Chu." Mo Jingli was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what Lei Zhenting meant, "The person lying in that coffin... is it really Mo Xiuyao?"

Lei Zhenting said: "He lost too much blood, but there are no obvious scars on the outside. It should be that his heart was injured. There is a scar on his right wrist and fine lines on his palm, which are caused by long-term sword practice. In addition... this person was a master when he was alive. His face was not disguised and his hair was not dyed. If there is another person in the world who looks exactly like Mo Xiuyao, practices sword like him and has the same high martial arts skills and dies, then... Mo Xiuyao is not dead."

After a while, Mo Jingli murmured softly, "Mo Xiuyao... is really dead..."

"Yes." Lei Zhenting sighed softly, "Mo Xiuyao is indeed dead." Such a stunning and stunning figure died just like that. Lei Zhenting's eyes suddenly showed some confusion and melancholy. Mo Jingli was in no mood to pay attention to Lei Zhenting's thoughts. After hearing what Lei Zhenting said, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That's great! Mo Xiuyao... Mo Xiuyao! You finally died before me! Haha..."

Seeing Mo Jingli's complacent look, Lei Zhenting's eyes flashed with disdain and anger. He also hoped that Mo Xiuyao would die, because he was an enemy. However, being regarded as an enemy by someone like Mo Xiuyao was an honor. But being regarded as an enemy by someone like Mo Jingli was a shame. The opponent that Lei Zhenting recognized had never been someone like Mo Jingli, just a little clown.

When Mo Jingli had laughed enough, he seemed to finally notice Lei Zhenting's displeasure. Mo Jingli raised his eyebrows and said, "Mo Xiuyao is dead, isn't the King of Zhennan happy?" Lei Zhenting pulled the corners of his lips and showed a mocking smile, "Of course, he is not as happy as the King of Chu."

Hearing this, Mo Jingli couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The grievances between Prince Ding's Mansion and the Great Chu Royal Family, in recent years, there are probably not many people in the world who don't know. Lei Zhenting saw his reaction just now...No matter how thick-skinned Mo Jingli was, he couldn't help but blush. He snorted and said in a hard voice: "Mo Xiuyao was the first to betray the country, such a traitor and thief, naturally deserves to die."

Lei Zhenting took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "I have no intention of discussing with the King of Chu whether Prince Ding should die or not. Prince Ding's death will naturally only benefit me." Mo Jingli's eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness, and he said dryly: "In this case, Prince Zhennan, please speak." There is a kind of person who is born stunning and gorgeous, and is the focus of the world's attention. Even his enemies will admire and respect him. And Mo Xiuyao is such a person. It is precisely because of this that Mo Jingli is crazy jealous.

Lei Zhenting leisurely looked at Mo Jingli, who was a little uneasy, and said calmly: "Has the King of Chu discovered that several major generals in the Mo family army are not here?" Mo Jingli hesitated. From the beginning, he had focused his attention on Ye Li and Mo Xiaobao, so he naturally didn't notice who was missing from Prince Ding's mansion. After hearing what Lei Zhenting said, he finally had some impression and nodded: "Yes, Murong Shen and Nan Hou are not here. They..."

"They should have been sent out by Ye Li." Lei Zhenting said.

Mo Jingli frowned and said, "Send them out? Ye Li doesn't want to guard Feihong Pass anymore?"

Lei Zhenting glanced at him and said, "It was precisely because she wanted to defend Fu Feihong Pass that she sent people out."

"What does King Zhennan mean by this?" Mo Jingli didn't like Lei Zhenting's tone, as if he was calling him a fool. But he really couldn't understand Ye Li's thoughts, so he had to hold back his anger and listen to Lei Zhenting.

"Feihong Pass is only this big. Even if all the generals are gathered here, what difference will it make? But if we send Murong Shen, Nan Hou and others out, they are all famous veterans on the battlefield. They don't need to confront us face to face. If they want to cause us some trouble, it will be a piece of cake. And the Black Cloud Cavalry in the Mohist Army is even more adept at charging thousands of miles. By then... both your side and mine will probably have a headache." Lei Zhenting said.

Mo Jingli gritted his teeth and said, "Is this really Ye Li's idea? How cunning!"

Lei Zhenting smiled appreciatively and said, "Princess Ding is able to stabilize the situation of the entire Ding Palace as a woman at this time. She is certainly not an extraordinary person. If Princess Ding were a man... I'm afraid..." Lei Zhenting shook his head, smiled faintly and said nothing.

Mo Jingli snorted and asked, "What does the King of Zhennan want to discuss with me?"

Lei Zhenting looked at Mo Jingli and said, "Abandon Hangu Pass and march westward. After our two armies meet, we can jointly attack Feihong Pass."

Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes and sneered, "King Zhennan is really good at this. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll be sold out by King Zhennan again." Mo Jingli had not forgotten the last time Lei Tengfeng tricked him. How could he trust Lei Zhenting again?

Lei Zhenting frowned and said, "As long as we take Feihong Pass, we can sweep across the entire northwest. After we destroy the foundation of Prince Ding's Mansion, do you think we still need to worry about Leng Huai of Chujing and Lu Jinxian of Hangu Pass?"

Mo Jingli was not an idiot. "How do I know that once I lead my troops westward, Leng Huai and Lu Jinxian will not pursue me? Wouldn't I be in a dilemma then?" Lei Zhenting raised his eyebrows and said, "So, the Emperor of Chu has the confidence to fight against Leng Huai and Lu Jinxian alone? I have received news that Leng Huai has begun to reorganize the troops of Chujing. They will go to Hangu Pass soon. Hangu Pass is the most important pass in the Central Plains. But..." But we also have to see who is guarding it.

Being bullied by Lei Zhenting, Mo Jingli's face turned pale and blue, "What does the King of Zhennan want to do?!"

Lei Zhenting nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ask the King of Chu to stop Leng Huai and Lu Jinxian's army. I don't need the Chu army to make achievements, I just need to delay the time and prevent them from causing trouble."

Although Mo Jingli felt humiliated by Lei Zhenting's contempt, he didn't want to fight Lu Jinxian and Leng Huai with his own troops. Instead, it would be better to wait for Lei Zhenting and the Mo family army to fight to the death, and then he would reap the benefits.

How could Lei Zhenting not understand Mo Jingli's thoughts, but he smiled coldly without caring.

"Okay, let's do as King Zhennan said." Mo Jingli nodded and agreed to Lei Zhenting's proposal.

In the main courtyard study room deep in the General's Mansion, Ye Li sat behind the desk and sighed as she looked at the people in the room. Feng Zhiyao stared at Ye Li and said, "Princess, do you know the whereabouts of the prince?"

Ye Li shook her head and said seriously: "I really don't know."

Unfortunately, her sincere answer could not convince Feng Zhiyao and others. "Do you think we believe it, Princess?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at everyone with a smile. Han Mingyue smiled and said, "Princess, at least you know some news about Xiu Yao, right? Otherwise... how do you know what kind of injuries Xiu Yao has?" After seeing the injuries of Prince Ding, the King of Zhennan's eyebrows were obviously relaxed a lot, and his smile when facing Ye Li was more sincere. Obviously, the King of Zhennan had received the news that Prince Ding was injured in advance, and the injuries on Prince Ding's body just matched the news Lei Zhenting had received.

Ye Li sighed helplessly and said, "I really don't know."

"Well, since the princess can't say it, we won't ask." Feng Zhiyao obviously still didn't believe that Ye Li didn't know, and just thought that Ye Li was not willing to say it. But at least it proved that Mo Xiuyao's safety was not a problem, and everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although they vaguely knew that the prince must still be alive, the lack of definite news always made people feel uneasy. Now that the princess was so calm, they felt as if they had taken a reassurance pill in their hearts.

"Mom, can we kill that bad guy?" Mo Xiaobao sat next to Ye Li and asked with an innocent look on his face.

Ye Li looked down at Mo Xiaobao who was looking at her eagerly, and couldn't help but smile and said, "How come you also learned to bite people?" This time, it was definitely the most unpresentable time for Mo Xiaobao. Although Mo Xiaobao loved to play pranks, he was still very proud. Even if he wanted to play a prank on someone, he would never use such a trick like an ordinary naughty boy.

Mo Xiaobao smiled and said, "Did the child act like it?"

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at Feng Zhiyao beside her. Feng Zhiyao smiled and said, "The first words the young master said when he saw Mo Jingli were, 'You bad guy who killed my father, I'm going to bite you to death!' Then he rushed over and bit Mo Jingli hard. I saw that piece of meat of Mo Jingli was almost bitten off. He really has... good teeth." The others couldn't help but cover their faces and laugh softly.

Mo Xiaobao's face was embarrassed, and he said sullenly, "It stinks so bad that I had to drink a lot of water to rinse my mouth. I must try another method next time." However, this method was the most relieving and least likely to arouse suspicion. If he hurt Mo Jingli with something else, it would not be just a child's nonsense.

Ye Li looked at Mo Xiaobao with some curiosity and asked, "What else did Xiaobao do to Mo Jingli?" Ye Li understood her son well enough. He would never bite someone just to vent his anger or to embarrass Mo Jingli.

Mo Xiaobao chuckled and said, "I sprinkled the medicine Mr. Shen gave me on his hand."

Shen Yang, who was sitting next to them and taking care of his own medicine while listening to their conversation, suddenly stiffened, slowly turned around and stared at Mo Xiaobao and asked, "Young Master, which bottle of medicine are you using?"

Mo Xiaobao blinked his big eyes innocently and said, "It's the bottle that Mr. Shen just prepared last night. It's a green...very beautiful little jade bottle." Shen Yang's body swayed, and he quickly held onto the table, and asked calmly, "Is that the one I gave to the young master?"

"I asked Mr. Shen if he could give me the bottle, and Mr. Shen nodded." Mo Xiaobao asked in confusion.

Shen Yang was silent. You asked about the bottle, but you took away the medicine as well.

Seeing that Shen Yang looked strange, Feng Zhiyao asked curiously, "What medicine did Mr. Shen prepare? Is it important?" Mo Xiaobao smiled and said, "I saw something like Hehuan or Chun written on Mr. Shen's bottle."

"Puff——" On the other side, Han Mingxi spit out a mouthful of tea, looked at Shen Yang in disbelief and said: "Could it be Chun Yi He Huan San? Mr. Shen, you are qualified... what do you do with that?" As he said, he looked at Shen Yang with a look of "You are so old and still have this interest." Mr. Han Mingxi is worthy of the name of Mr. Fengyue. He has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and naturally knows all those strange drugs.

The corners of Shen Yang's lips twitched, and he rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean I made it? Someone brought it to me a few days ago and asked me to study it to see if there is an antidote."

Han Mingxi looked unconvinced, "Who can research the antidote for this kind of drug?"

Normal people know how to dissolve this medicine. Han Mingxi looked at Shen Yang with an expression that said, "If you believe me, I'm a fool." Shen Yang also understood that the more he talked about this matter, the worse it would be. He glared at Mo Xiaobao with resentment. If it weren't for this damn kid, how could he be laughed at by a kid like Han Mingxi?

Mo Xiaobao hid in Ye Li's arms, secretly looking at Shen Yang with a sly smile.

Ye Li patted Mo Xiaobao's head helplessly, coughed lightly and asked: "So... will this medicine have any adverse consequences?" Han Mingxi smiled and said: "No, this is top-grade... medicine. Even if you have money, you may not be able to get it. It's just... it's better to control the time. It usually takes an hour to take effect, and once it takes effect, it's unstoppable. So... Jun Wei, cough cough... Young Master Feng San had better let someone prepare it." Han Mingxi obviously realized that this matter was not suitable for Ye Li to handle, so he had to change the topic and look at Feng Zhiyuan.

Feng Zhiyao rolled his eyes in annoyance. He had been to that bush of flowers in his early years, so he naturally knew what the so-called Spring Joy Powder was.

Mo Xiaobao looked at everyone eagerly and asked curiously, "What do you want to prepare?"

Ye Li tapped him on the forehead gently, "Children are not allowed to interrupt when adults are talking." Mo Xiaobao covered his forehead and looked at Ye Li pitifully. Zhuo Jing, who was sitting not far away and busy with files, frowned and raised his head and said, "Princess, at this moment... Prince Li seems to be in the courtyard of Prince Zhennan." It seemed that more than an hour had passed since Mo Jingli was bitten by Mo Xiaobao.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, Feng Zhiyao and Han Mingxi jumped up at the same time and rushed towards Lei Zhenting's courtyard. Of course, they were not going to save people, they were going to watch the excitement.

Han Mingyue raised her eyebrows, stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look. It would be bad if the King of Chu or the King of Zhennan were injured." Mo Xiaobao kicked his calves excitedly in Ye Li's arms and stretched out his little hand to Han Mingyue, "I want to go too... I want to go too..."

Shen Yang pulled him over and said, "Young Master, you should go read the medicine book in the study with me again. You dare to use any medicine, aren't you afraid of hurting others or yourself one day!" Ye Li nodded to Shen Yang gratefully. She really didn't know how to explain this kind of medicine to Mo Xiaobao. With Shen Yang, a famous doctor, teaching him well, I believe Mo Xiaobao will soon understand which medicine can be used and which should be used with caution.

Ye Li, Han Mingyue, and Qin Feng walked slowly towards the guest house. Before they reached the door, they saw the maid who was assigned to serve them running towards them with a pale face. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Li, "I have seen the princess."

Ye Li nodded and asked, "What happened?"

The girl's face turned pale, and she squinted her eyes in fear and said, "Princess, go and have a look. The King of Zhennan is going to beat the King of Chu to death!"

Everyone was stunned. Ye Li sighed and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Before entering the yard, a noisy noise was heard inside.

Feng Zhiyao and Han Mingxi sat leisurely on the wall, watching with great interest, and occasionally gesticulating excitedly. Ye Li sighed, "Feng San, Mingxi." Are these two afraid that Lei Zhenting doesn't know how happy they are?

Feng Zhiyao and the other man landed gracefully and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Princess. King Zhennan was almost going crazy and didn't notice us."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "What happened in there?" She thought Lei Zhenting and Mo Jingli should be conspiring in there. They would get together sooner or later anyway, so Ye Li naturally didn't mind them conspiring in her place, which was much better than running to a place she didn't know and causing some uncontrollable situation. However, even if the poison in Mo Jingli's body took effect, Lei Zhenting would at most throw him out or find someone to help him solve it, and there would be no need for a fight.

Han Mingxi laughed softly and said, "It seems that... the King of Chu intends to be rude to the King of Zhennan. In addition, after the drug takes effect, the strength of the poisoned person will be several times greater than usual. So..."

Ye Li couldn't help but twitch the corners of her lips. For the first time in her life, she felt that her face was a little blue.
