Chapter 252 The Prince's Reluctance
Mo Yunzhu tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep well, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
If there were a plane, I could go there anytime, but the journey is the most difficult now. It would take at least more than a month to go back and forth.
Finally, she decided to go to Jun Huolan to discuss it.
The next day, after the morning court session, Chang Qing appeared in front of Jun Huolan's carriage as he left the palace, and the carriage then headed to Wangjing Tower.
Mo Yunzhu had been waiting for him in the private room, and the appearance of Prince Lan allowed more people to see his handsome face that looked like a banished immortal and his limping foot.
However, Jun Huolan didn't seem to care at all. He hoped that everyone would know that he was a cripple. In this way, the emperor would be more assured of him and would increasingly value him in managing the affairs of the court.
"Ju'er." Jun Huolan smiled gently when he saw Mo Yunzhu when he entered the private room.
"Your Highness, please take a seat." Mo Yunzhu had already ordered tea and snacks.
"Ju'er, is there anything that makes you want to have tea with me so early?" Jun Huolan asked while looking at Mo Yunzhu's pretty face after taking a sip of tea.
"There is indeed something. Let's talk while we eat." Mo Yunzhu gave him a piece of osmanthus cake.
Jun Huolan felt that Mo Yunzhu was a little strange today, particularly enthusiastic, and he didn't know what had happened.
"Your Highness, I want to go to Chen State." Mo Yunzhu said this after watching him eat a piece of osmanthus cake.
Jun Huolan's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at her in disbelief.
"You, you want to go to Chen State?"
Jun Huolan hated the State of Chen so much that, except for revenge, he never wanted to set foot in that place again in his life.
"Yeah." Mo Yunzhu nodded, and then told Jun Huolan about the conversation she had with Zhuo Yu yesterday.
"No, there's no need, Yunzhu. It's too dangerous. The people of the Chen Kingdom are too despicable. Don't rush to take revenge. Once this place is stable, I will find a way to take revenge. Your revenge, my revenge, I will take revenge sooner or later!"
Jun Huolan's face was extremely serious and solemn.
"My Lord, I know, but I am worried about Zhuo Yu. He is my only blood relative now. I don't want him to get into trouble in Chen State. He didn't know his life experience before, but now he knows. He must want revenge, but he is doing it alone. Isn't this just courting death?"
"Then you will die if you go!" Jun Huolan was very anxious, even a little angry. This came from his inner fear. He didn't want Mo Yunzhu to take the risk.
Mo Yunzhu felt both amused and angry when she saw his anxious look.
"Am I so bad in the eyes of the prince?"
"Ju'er, you know that's not what I meant." Jun Huolan was so anxious that he reached out and held one of her soft hands.
"My Lord, I know you are worried about my safety, but Zhuo Yu is right. Some things still need to be done. Moreover, this is originally a matter between him and me. The hatred of murdering our parents is irreconcilable. Even if we cannot overthrow the royal family of Chen State, those bad guys back then must receive the punishment they deserve."
"Jules, I know, I know everything, but aren't you too impatient? Can't you wait for me? I'm working hard to become stronger, so I can be your backup in the future. Then the Chen Kingdom Royal Family will also be concerned, right?"
"Your Highness, Zhuo Yu and I are not going to fight, nor will we seek revenge openly. We are only going there to make some preparations. Besides, the Emperor of Chen is ill in the other courtyard. If I go there, can't I serve as a doctor and make his life even worse than death?"
Mo Yunzhu's lips curled up into an evil smile. The retired emperor Chen Tianqi had been poisoned by the acid bone poison she had prepared before. He was probably suffering from pain every day and was living a life worse than death.
It takes a lot of money to get things done in Chen State, and this is a good way.
"Prince, Zhuo Yu's father and my mother are siblings with a deep affection. I cannot watch Zhuo Yu go to die. However, I promised you that I would come back in half a year. Prince, you and my father can do a good job here. I have nothing to do at home every day, so I might as well go to Chen State to take a look."
Jun Huolan's eyes were a little red, and he looked at Mo Yunzhu's pretty face with his black eyes with great reluctance, and his eyes seemed to be able to pull out threads.
"Fan Fengze is on the way. I asked Long San and Long Si to do some work. After they finish, Long San will go to Chen State. I bought a relatively hidden small courtyard in Chen State. If you really go, you can find Lao San there." Jun Huolan said after slowly letting go of Mo Yunzhu's hand.
But the voice was indescribably low, and seemed to contain a kind of sadness.
He didn't want Mo Yunzhu to leave him. She was the only warmth in his heart. The thought of being separated from her for half a year made him feel hopeless.
But he couldn't force Mo Yunzhu to stay. After all, it was a blood feud. If it were him, he would also move forward.
What's more, he hated Chen Guo as much as Mo Yunzhu and Zhuo Yu. If he had the chance and ability, he would also seek revenge.
"My Lord, didn't you say I'm smart? So you have some confidence in me. I will build up the strength of Chen State and lay a solid foundation. When the time comes, I will also help you get back the grievances you suffered in Chen State. If one day, our Qingyun State is stronger than Chen State, then you will be able to be more proud."
Jun Huolan looked at Mo Yunzhu's pretty face and suddenly changed the subject, "We will be getting married in half a year."
Mo Yunzhu was stunned, then smiled and said, "You also know what the emperor thinks of me. Wouldn't it be better if I wasn't here for half a year? If he can't see me, maybe he will lose interest in me."
"Will you marry me when you come back in half a year?" When Jun Huolan asked this question, he suddenly felt nervous and his ears couldn't help but feel hot.
Mo Yunzhu saw that the tips of his ears were red and thought that this guy seemed to really like her. This look in his eyes could not deceive anyone.
Mo Yunzhu felt a little overwhelmed when she thought that such a handsome man actually liked her.
But on second thought, in this era, men have three wives and four concubines, and Jun Huolan wants that position, so there is really no possibility for the two of them. I have to stick to my bottom line and not get trapped.
Mo Yunzhu smiled dumbly and said, "We don't know what the situation will be like by then. It's too early to say anything now."
Jun Huolan's handsome face turned pale in an instant, he understood the deep meaning of Mo Yunzhu's words.
In other words, it is not certain that she will get married in half a year. Even if the emperor agrees, she may not get married.
In an instant, Jun Huolan felt as if everything had lost its meaning, and all his energy was drained away.
Mo Yunzhu obviously felt his change, and sighed in her heart: "Prince, we both bear hatred, and some things are more important than the wedding. However, if there are no accidents by then, I am willing to get married."
Mo Yunzhu didn't want to see this man lose his spirit before leaving, so she could only agree. Of course, she had already conquered herself. Even if she became Jun Huolan's queen one day, if Jun Huolan had a harem, then she would only be a queen in name only.
Jun Huolan raised his head instantly, then reached out and held Mo Yunzhu's hand, his eyes shining as he asked, "Really?"
"The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, right? The entire Qingyun knows that you and I are engaged, so it's normal for us to get married, right?" Mo Yunzhu grinned, "But in the past six months, have you been able to make my old man give up his dirty thoughts about me?"
