"Mo Bai, whether you believe it or not, this was really not my order. I have no reason to harm you."
King Zhao opened his mouth and explained seriously.
Mo Bai handed the jade pendant to King Zhao and said calmly, "I will report this to my father. Let him find out the truth!"
King Zhao took the pendant with an unhappy look on his face.
He didn't know whether the pendant was found on the real assassin or was placed on the assassin by someone else on purpose.
But no matter what, this matter can't be explained clearly now.
"Okay, it's best to let His Majesty investigate this matter. Mo Bai, I hope you won't be fooled by this deliberate appearance. There is no grudge between you and me, and I will never kill you. The person behind this must be trying to sow discord between you and me. If there is a rift between you and me today, it will just fall into the trap of this person behind this."
King Zhao looked anxious and explained seriously to make Mo Bai believe it.
Mo Bai looked at him and said calmly, "Uncle, there is indeed no hatred between you and me, but my appearance will definitely cause a storm. Those princes who are eyeing the throne don't want me to appear. I don't know whether Uncle has taken sides. Maybe Uncle doesn't want me to appear either!"
Hearing what Mo Bai said, King Zhao felt a little sad and said hurriedly, "How is it possible! Mo Bai, you haven't been here for these years, so you may not understand that I am the person His Majesty trusts the most. The reason why His Majesty trusts me is that I am only loyal to him and never take sides. If I took sides and had selfish motives, then His Majesty would definitely know and would no longer trust me, let alone let me pick you up."
King Zhao said it solemnly, if Mo Bai didn't know it in his heart, seeing his appearance at this moment, he would probably believe him.
"Uncle Huang said yes, and I didn't doubt his opinion, but this jade pendant is indeed a little unclear."
King Zhao couldn't explain the matter of the jade pendant, so he could only say helplessly: "I will find out the truth about this matter, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Mo Bai nodded, "Okay, I can feel that you have no bad intentions towards me, uncle, I believe you."
Hearing this, King Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, it's late, it's time to rest, I'm leaving first."
Mo Bai left, and the body of the man in black was handed over to He Yi and others to deal with.
King Zhao watched Mo Bai disappear from his sight, then lowered his head to look at the pendant with a slightly cold look in his eyes.
After King Zhao returned to his room, he immediately gave the jade pendant to his subordinates and asked them to check it out.
…
The next morning, when Su Qingyue got up, the delegation was ready and ready to set off at any time.
Mo Bai took Su Qingyue to have breakfast before getting on the carriage and continuing their journey.
Su Qingyue knew nothing about what happened last night. She sat in the carriage with Mo Bai, occasionally lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside. The two of them were chatting and laughing, in a good mood.
Su's father and mother were very quiet today. In the past, they would come to Su Qingyue from time to time to inquire about the affairs of Xia Kingdom, but today they did not come at all. When they saw her, their eyes immediately dodged, which was very strange.
Su Qingyue noticed the two of them several times.
She looked at Mo Bai in surprise, "What happened to father and mother? Why do they look so guilty? Did they do something again?"
Su Qingyue was worried that the two of them were up to something again and was concerned.
Mo Bai smiled and took Su Qingyue's hand and said, "It's okay. Maybe they are a little nervous because we will arrive in Tiandu City soon!"
Su Qingyue nodded.
“In fact, I am a little nervous.”
Su Qingyue was also worried about the unknown environment and people.
What's more, they are the royal family. Since ancient times, there have been many conflicts among the royal family and no family affection. If she and Mo Bai go back suddenly, they will definitely encounter many things. Su Qingyue is a little worried that she can't cope with it.
Mo Bai held her and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here, nothing will happen to you."
"There are a total of 3 princes in our generation. The eldest brother died of illness at an early age. I am the second oldest. The third brother is the son of the queen and the legitimate son of the imperial concubine. The second brother drowned accidentally when he was seven years old. The fifth brother is the son of the concubine and is now sixteen. The sixth brother is Mo Ting, who is with us now."
"In addition, there are two princesses, both are sisters. One is the daughter of Concubine Liang, named Mo Xueyuan, and the other is the daughter of Concubine Xian, named Mo Xuerui."
"These two sisters are not easy to get along with. If they come to see you after you go back, just ignore them."
"As for my brothers, I'll take care of them. You don't have to worry about them. Just focus on taking care of your baby."
Su Qingyue nodded. There was no point in worrying now. She could only take things one step at a time.
"Father and mother waited until we reached Tiandu City and arranged for them to live in a separate courtyard."
Su Qingyue spoke.
Mo Bai nodded, "Well, I'll make the arrangements, you can rest assured."
Su Qingyue nodded.
The group hurried on and arrived at the next city before dark.
…
Xia Kingdom, Tiandu City.
Inside the palace, the emperor received a message from Mo Bai.
After reading the letter, anger appeared on his old face.
"Go check. The second brother was assassinated just after entering Xia Country. Who has such great ability and speed?"
The emperor is now fifty years old, with a few strands of white hair on his head and an old face, looking much older than his actual age.
The secret guard responded and retreated.
The personal eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has returned from suppressing bandits and wants to see you."
The emperor's expression returned to normal after hearing this, and he said calmly: "Let him in!"
The third prince, Mo Yu, walked in wearing armor and smiling.
"Your son pays respect to His Majesty, Father."
The emperor raised his head and said, "Get up!"
Mo Yu stood up and said with a smile: "Father, the Wuling bandits have been wiped out by me in one fell swoop. From now on, the people and all passers-by will no longer have to worry about these bandits."
Mo Yu looked confident, smiling brightly, and looking forward to the emperor's praise.
The emperor nodded calmly, "Well, good job, you have done a great job in this matter, is there anything you want?"
The emperor did not show any excessive happiness or pride on his face. He was very calm from beginning to end, which made Mo Yu a little disappointed.
Mo Yu put away his thoughts, looked at the emperor carefully, and then said: "Father, I have no other request, I just hope that you can be healthy and live a long life."
When the emperor heard this, he was quite satisfied and a smile appeared on his face.
"Well, you have grown up and become sensible. I am very pleased."
The emperor's tone became much gentler.
Mo Yu was delighted to see that he finally smiled.
"Father, it's Queen Mother's birthday in three days. You and Queen Mother haven't celebrated their birthdays together for a long time. If you can go and accompany her this time, she will definitely be very happy."
As Mo Yu spoke, he carefully observed the emperor's expression.
After hearing Mo Yu's words, the smile on the emperor's face disappeared.
Seeing this, Mo Yu felt a chill in his heart, a little helpless, and a little resentful.
I just dare not say it.
"I am busy with work, so I won't go. You should spend the night with your mother!"
The emperor started reading the memorial and ignored Mo Yu.
Mo Yu's eyes were devoid of expectation. He sighed silently and nodded, "Yes, father, I will take my leave then."
The emperor said nothing, and Mo Yu retreated silently.
After leaving the imperial study, Mo Yu sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
He went to Fengqi Palace and met the queen.
"Mother."
Mo Yu spoke, a smile returning to his face.
The queen was talking to someone, and when she saw Mo Yu coming, a smile immediately appeared on her ugly face.
"Ayu is back?"
"Go down first!"
The Queen said to her subordinates.
Mo Yu had already arrived in front of her and said to her happily, "Mother, I succeeded in suppressing the bandits. I killed all the bandits."
In front of the Queen, Mo Yu became cheerful and confident. When talking about this matter, he also looked like he was asking for praise. He was not at all restrained like he was in front of the Emperor.
