Chapter 431 A Bigger Conspiracy
Frankly speaking, Mo Jingxuan's feelings for Su Yue before might have only been half out of ten, which was why he didn't mind too much when Su Yue married Shangguan Nanxing.
What he felt most about Su Yue was his curiosity at first, and then he realized that the reason for his defeat was actually because of a woman, so he wanted to conquer her.
For Mo Jingxuan, the fastest way for a man to conquer a woman is naturally to marry her. The husband is the head of the wife, and no matter how powerful a woman is, she has to submit to her husband.
However, what Mo Jingxuan didn't expect was that he accidentally got the wrong person.
But it didn't matter. He enjoyed the pleasure of conquest, so he began to plan to take Su Yue away, and he didn't mind at all that Su Yue was already someone else's wife.
However, the charm exuded by Su Yue's every frown and smile deeply attracted Mo Jingxuan's attention. He had never experienced this feeling of his heart beating like a drum before.
For a moment, even Mo Jingxuan, who was decisive and ruthless on the battlefield, was stunned for a moment, staring at Su Yue in silence.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince has come to visit me. What may I be able to do for you?" Su Yue met Mo Jingxuan's gaze and felt a little annoyed for no reason. Then she put down her chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth.
"I heard that the fifth sister moved out of the Prince's Mansion, so I came here to see her." Mo Jingxuan noticed Su Yue's dissatisfaction, so he turned his head to meet Mo Jingxi's gaze and said with a chuckle.
"Sister Xi moved out of the Prince's Mansion just a while ago, but she is well-informed about the Fourth Prince's news." After hearing Mo Jingxuan's answer, Su Yue said something meaningful.
"I'm not that well-informed. After all, I have to take care of my sister in a foreign country."
Mo Jingxuan naturally understood the hidden meaning of Su Yue's words, but he was not at all flustered and said what he had prepared long ago.
"What the Fourth Prince said does make sense." Seeing that Mo Jingxuan looked calm, Su Yue stopped asking questions.
However, his suspicion towards Mo Jingxuan did not diminish in the slightest.
"Why are you talking nonsense? Come here quickly, Fourth Brother." After hearing what they said, Mo Jingxi stood up and pulled Mo Jingxuan to sit next to him.
"By the way, I just heard the Crown Princess call me, her younger sister, "sister". I wonder what fun thing I missed?"
Mo Jingxuan sat down next to Mo Jingxi, facing Su Yue, so he raised his head, looked at Su Yue and asked with a smile.
"The Crown Princess and I got along well, so we became sisters." Before Su Yue could speak, Mo Jingxi rushed to answer.
When Mo Jingxuan heard his fifth sister's answer, he turned in disbelief and stared at Mo Jingxi who was eating the food beside him as if nothing had happened.
I went to so much trouble to trick her here, so that she would be Su Yue's enemy and drive a wedge between the Crown Prince and Su Yue, but how come these two have become sisters now?
"Why, Sister Xi and I have become sisters, but the Fourth Prince doesn't seem very happy?"
Su Yue looked at Mo Jingxuan with a surprised expression, her eyes full of inquiry.
"How could that be? I'm just a little surprised. If you meet someone you like, you should really cherish them."
Mo Jingxuan smiled flatteringly and denied Su Yue's words.
"I wonder if the Crown Princess knows about the recent battle between Dongyou and Mo Kingdom?" Mo Jingxuan picked at the rice in the bowl and looked at Su Yue with an inquiring look.
"What does this mean, Fourth Prince?" Su Yue was stunned, and the teacup in her hand also paused.
"It's nothing special. I just heard that the strategy of surrounding but not attacking was proposed by the Crown Princess. Although I was defeated, I am convinced by the Crown Princess's wisdom."
Seeing the puzzled look on Su Yue's face, Mo Jingxuan hurriedly explained.
"Those involved are confused, but those who are watching can see things more clearly. The two countries have been at war for so long that it is easy for them to get into a dead end. I am just a bystander who offers different opinions, and I cannot say that I am smart."
After listening to Mo Jingxuan's explanation, Su Yue gently placed the teacup in her hand on the table. Seeing this, Xiao He beside her hurriedly added some more tea.
"You're too polite, Princess." Mo Jingxuan heard the alienation in Su Yue's tone, and stopped talking after she finished speaking.
Just a pair of eyes swept over Su Yue vaguely, concealing thousands of calculations.
During this meal, only Mo Jingxi ate heartlessly and was most satisfied.
After it was over, Mo Jingxuan left on the pretext of having something to do, and then Su Yue took Mo Jingxi to familiarize himself with the Princess's Mansion.
Su Yue stayed in the Princess's Mansion until dark, and then returned to the Prince's Mansion.
"Yuer, I have something to tell you." As soon as Su Yue entered the room, Shangguan Nanxing came up to her with a gloomy face, as if something bad had happened.
"That's great. I have something to tell you too." Seeing Shangguan Nanxing like this, Su Yue pulled him into the room and sat down.
"Then let Yue'er speak first." Shangguan Nanxing looked at Su Yue and motioned for her to speak first.
"Today I specifically asked that Princess Xi who asked her to come to Dongyou. She meant that it was Mo Jingxuan who asked her to come."
Su Yue told what she had been asked during the day, and then frowned.
What on earth is Mo Jingxuan planning?
"Mo Jingxuan? My case is also related to Mo Jingxuan. There is news from Shura Gate that Mo Jingxuan is secretly gathering the army of the Mo Kingdom and sending them into Dongyou in small batches, hiding in the Dongyou Imperial City."
After Shangguan Nanxing finished speaking, he looked at Su Yue and stopped talking. It was obvious that Mo Jingxuan was doing this to catch Dongyou off guard.
"This Mo Jingxuan actually secretly gathered troops in Dongyou!" Su Yue's eyes widened in shock after hearing Shangguan Nanxing's words.
Was this the idea of Mo Jingxuan alone, or was it instructed by the Emperor of Mo Kingdom?
"That's right, I suspect that Mo Jingxuan wants to attack the Dongyou Palace directly." Shangguan Nanxing looked at Su Yue's surprised eyes and guessed coldly.
"This Mo Jingxuan, did he ask Princess Xi to come here to distract you?"
Su Yue calmed down and continued to guess, but she did not mention the look in Bai Rimo Jingxuan's eyes that made her feel inexplicably annoyed.
After all, if nothing unexpected happens, Princess Xi will be the prince's concubine. With Princess Xi's temper, she will definitely not live in peace in the prince's mansion. So it is understandable that Nanxing has a headache about the affairs of the inner chamber every day and ignores the court.
"Yuer, no matter what, Mo Jingxuan has ulterior motives, and I have to find a way to solve it." Shangguan Nanxing stood up, walked lightly to the window, looked at the moonlight outside the window and fell into deep thought.
Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing's back in the room with a frown on her face.
I thought everything would be fine if I could trick Princess Xi away, but I didn't expect that Mo Jingxuan had a bigger conspiracy.
