Seeing her son's happy look, the queen quickly put on a smile and waved, "Come here and see mother, is 녦놋 injured?"
Mo Yu smiled and moved his face closer.
"Mother, please let me go. I am very powerful. I am not injured at all. I killed all those bandits."
The queen lovingly took her son's hand and said, "You! You didn't want to go. You insisted on going, and made your mother anxious for half a month. You are a prince, the future emperor. You can tell the people below to do everything, and you don't have to do it yourself. You are a precious body. What if something happens to you?"
Mo Yu was helpless as his mother always liked to talk about these things.
"Mother, as the son of the emperor, I should share his worries. Why should I let others do what I can do? I like it very much. Mother, please don't worry about it all the time."
Mo Yu felt that her mother was too worried and always thought the worst of everything.
Thinking of Mo Bai's return and seeing her son's innocent appearance, the queen sighed helplessly.
She thought the child was dead and no one would ever compete with her son again in this life, but she didn't expect that the child was still alive and was coming back.
The Queen always felt that this matter was very strange and uneasy.
Seeing the queen sighing and suddenly not smiling, Mo Yu looked at her in confusion, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing suddenly?"
The queen didn't know whether she should tell her son about Mo Bai.
Seeing her hesitation, Mo Yu became even more curious.
"Mother, what is it? Why are you hesitating?"
The queen sighed again, "Mo Bai is coming back!"
Mo Yu didn't realize who Mo Bai was for a moment, and only after a moment did he remember that he had a second brother who was wandering around.
He was so surprised!
"Mo Bai, the second brother? Hasn't he been missing for a long time? There has been no news for more than ten years, right? Have you found him?"
The queen nodded. "Well, Prince Zhao found him accidentally in the Southern Kingdom. Now he has returned to the Xia Kingdom with the delegation. He should be in Tiandu in less than two days."
The queen's eyes were full of darkness, and her expression looked unhappy when she talked about Mo Bai.
Mo Yu said, "Mother, you seem very unhappy."
Mo Yu could clearly sense his mother's emotions, and he was also curious.
The queen looked at her son. His clear and innocent eyes really made her worried. She was afraid that he would be eaten by someone someday. She didn't know.
"Ayu, Mo Bai was born to the woman your father loves the most. He is also your father's favorite child. If he comes back, I'm afraid you won't be able to be the crown prince. Even if you are the legitimate son of the Empress, in front of your father, you are not as important as the child born to the woman he loves."
Mo Yu frowned. He was very unhappy and unconvinced by what his father's favorite son said.
"Mother, I am not determined to become the crown prince. I..."
Before Mo Yu could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Queen in a stern voice.
"Mo Yu! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Mo Yu's words made the Queen angry. She looked at Mo Yu angrily and said in a cold voice: "You know, if you were not the prince, what would happen to me, what would happen to you, and what would happen to the Zhao family? You represent not only yourself, but also the Zhao family and those loyal ministers to him. If you give up, how will we deal with ourselves?"
The queen's angry look made Mo Yu dare not say anything.
His eyes dimmed, "Yes, mother, I know."
Seeing her son in pain, the queen also felt pain and her tone softened.
"Mother knows your personality. You like freedom and don't like being trapped within the palace walls. But Ayu, you are a prince, and you are destined to be extraordinary. You can't choose some things."
Mo Yu didn't say anything, he just felt tired.
"Mother, you have said these words many times. I understand. But if father insists on not giving me the position of crown prince, what should I do?"
Mo Yu looked at his mother, waiting for her answer.
The queen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "It's not up to him to agree or not."
Mo Yu's eyes widened immediately, "Mother, what do you want to do?"
A dark light flashed in the queen's eyes, and her tone was cold, "Ayu, this country can only belong to you. Anyone who disagrees will die."
The queen thought that she could no longer let her son be so naive, so she no longer cared about what she said.
Mo Yu always thought that his mother loved his father very much, and he had always tried to bring them together and create opportunities for them to get along.
Every time the emperor father came, the queen mother would be very happy. When the queen mother was happy, he was also happy.
But now, my mother actually said she wanted to kill my father so mercilessly.
Mo Yu couldn't accept it for a moment, he shook his head with red eyes.
"Mother, you were not like this before. Don't you love father the most? Why did you suddenly change now?"
Mo Yu felt something was wrong and was puzzled.
The queen sneered and said, "If Mo Bai hadn't appeared, I could have continued to act. Without Mo Bai, you would be the only candidate for the crown prince."
"But now that Mo Bai is back, you will definitely be abandoned, so there is no need for me to continue pretending. No matter how real the pretense is, without Mo Bai, your father will no longer care about you and me."
The queen was sad and there was no expectation in her eyes.
Mo Yu was unwilling to believe it. He shook his head with red eyes.
"Mother, you...you have been lying to me? And to father too? Why?"
Mo Yu couldn't accept it. In his impression, his mother was not this kind of person. How could she suddenly change?
With a weak sigh, the queen said, "It's not easy to live in this deep palace. Ayu, there are many things you don't understand, and you don't have to care. You just need to know that everything your mother does is for you and for ourselves. Your mother will not harm you."
