When Mo Yonglin saw Shen Yuanbai's reaction, his anger paused for a moment, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Shen Yuanbai had already turned his head to look at Jiaojiao and said in a calm voice, "We have to drag Mo Yonglin away and watch him carefully."
Qiao Tianjing was the first to step out. He walked to Mo Yonglin's side and used force to break Mo Yonglin's jaw on the spot.
Jiaojiao had already reacted and nodded at Shen Yuanbai.
I didn’t expect that Mo Yonglin actually knew about Yu Liu’s humiliation!
In order to conceal their atrocities, King Kim Young and King Kim Yu killed all the palace servants around Yu Liu every now and then, and tried their best to cover it up for fear that it would damage the image of the royal court.
But now that he thought about it carefully, Mo Yonglin's father was Mo Qiandai, the man who held up half of the Northern Kingdom. He must have many eyes and ears in the royal court.
The palace maids around Princess Yu Liu changed frequently. With Mo Qiandai's wit and sharpness, he would surely investigate it thoroughly.
So, if you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it yourself!
Now that Shen Yuanbai has delivered the truth to them, they had originally spread it. Although it would have been shocking, it lacked persuasiveness. The Northern Kingdom's court would also most likely confuse right and wrong and bite back.
If King Jin Yu twisted the story into that the Yong Dynasty deliberately tarnished the image of Yu Liu and the Northern Kingdom's court in order to annex the Northern Kingdom, it might even arouse public anger and make the people of the Northern Kingdom united.
However, if this matter came from the mouth of Mo Yonglin, the eldest son of the Northern Country's coach, it would be much more convincing!
Qiao Tianjing also thought of this, so he quickly removed Mo Yonglin's jaw, fearing that he would commit suicide.
"Watch closely, don't take your eyes off it for even a moment!"
Qiao Tianjing spoke out instructions to the Qiao family army standing beside him.
Qiao Jiajun nodded hurriedly and dragged the whimpering Mo Yonglin away.
Everyone slowly left the scene, a fire was lit, Jiaojiao and Shen Yuanbai sat by the fire, and this time they could finally have a peaceful conversation.
Qiao Tianjing and Xiao Si sat not far away to provide cover for Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao looked at Shen Yuanbai with some curiosity, and asked, "You knew that Mo Yonglin knew about this, so you tricked him here?"
Shen Yuanbai shook his head, his expression indifferent, "It's just a guess. Mo Qiandai has a lot of influence in the Northern Kingdom. No matter how hard he tried to hide what happened back then, there would always be clues left."
"I'm sure that old fox Mo Qiandai wouldn't miss it. As for Mo Yonglin, he always looks at me with contempt and ridicule. I bet he knows about it."
When Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.
Regardless of the true story, Yu Liu's marriage saved the Northern Kingdom from destruction and allowed it to recuperate for so many years.
But people of this world——
Just because Mo Yonglin knew that Yu Liu was humiliated, he actually belittled her to such an extent. Even his second brother sent a letter saying that someone in the Northern Army spoke foul language about Yu Liu.
They enjoyed the benefits brought by Yu Liu with peace of mind, but turned around and looked down on Yu Liu and spoke foul language.
Among all living beings, most of them are cold-hearted and mean.
Seeing Jiaojiao frowning and looking very solemn, Shen Yuanbai raised his hand and moved the firewood in front of him.
Jiaojiao gathered her thoughts, looked at Shen Yuanbai's roughly bandaged arm, and sighed softly, "You can't use it, right? I should have thought of it earlier."
Shen Yuanbai took out the "rebound talisman", looked at it carefully, and spoke after a while: "You were born to oppose me."
Only this can explain why this talisman can be used by everyone, but is like waste paper in his hands.
"What's the price? If it's not too much, I'll take it."
Shen Yuanbai raised his eyes and looked at Jiaojiao with a calm expression.
Jiaojiao reached out and took out the letter from her arms again, and nodded without raising her head.
"You keep it."
It was much easier to read the letter by the firelight.
Jiaojiao briefly recounted her speculation about the timeline, and then asked, "Shen Yuanbai, based on your understanding of yourself, when will you reveal the truth?"
Shen Yuanbai tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "It won't be too early. At least we have to wait until we annex the Northern Kingdom and eliminate all remaining forces."
Jiaojiao nodded. This answer was expected.
After all, Yu Liu is worshipped as a god by the people of the Northern Country, and in the original novel, a city in the Northern Country surrendered without a fight because of this. Given Shen Yuanbai's temperament, he naturally wants to maximize this "advantage".
Moreover, it is not so easy to destroy a country. There will definitely be people in the society who support King Jin Yu. For the sake of national stability, Shen Yuanbai may make the truth public only after the hidden dangers in the north are completely eliminated.
This is a very long process. Perhaps Sister Meng’s dream really didn’t last until that time…
Jiaojiao understood what was going on and continued reading the letter.
Soon Yu Liu’s subsequent arrangements also surfaced.
It turned out that Yu Liu had set his sights on the Yong Dynasty from the very beginning.
It was indeed she who arranged to send the letter and painting to the King of Nanli, but that was only to paralyze King Jin Yong and King Jin Yu, making them think that she was now willing to work for the country and for them.
After all, the Soul-Catching God-Binding Gu came so "unexpectedly". After thinking about it carefully, Yu Liu guessed the intention of the King of Nanli. Therefore, if the letter and the painting were sent over, they would definitely be like a drop in the ocean and there would be no response.
At that time, Qiao Zhongguo had not yet reached the city, and King Jin Yong actually wanted to surrender, but Yu Liu suggested that King Jin Yong hold on a little longer and asked her to send the portrait and the letter of surrender to Yong Dynasty first.
Yu Liu explained to her father and brother that after all, she knew nothing about the Emperor Yong at that time. Although the Soul-Catching Gu was powerful, she didn't know if it could charm an emperor.
Now that the Northern Kingdom is still holding on, if she had sent a letter of surrender first and made such plans for the country, the image of a beautiful, calm, intelligent and courageous princess would have been established in Emperor Yong's mind.
Only by constantly increasing the value in Emperor Yong's heart in this way can he become interested in me and then agree to the marriage.
This reason successfully convinced King Kim Young and King Kim Yu, and in the end, Yu Liu succeeded.
But in fact, Yu Liu had a deeper plan in mind.
Because she was bullied by her father and brother, she had always been in a state of semi-imprisonment, with no forces or people around her.
She also wanted to resist, but she did not have the strength or confidence at that time. Even when she went to Nanli to look for the Gu, she had to borrow people from Di Zaiying.
But she has too many things to plan when she goes to Yong Dynasty, so she must have a group of people who are loyal to her!
Therefore, Yu Liu deliberately delayed and did not let the news of his father and brother's surrender spread. Instead, he took the initiative to propose marriage for the country in front of everyone. Then he personally climbed up the city wall and gave a long speech in front of the people. Every word of his speech was about the righteousness of his country and family.
Because of this action, countless patriotic patriots gathered around her, and Zhou Liu, Liu Xi and others came to her for this reason.
How loyal are they to her?
No, they are loyal to the North Country. They were just deceived by her "family and country" and became her pawns for revenge!
That day, she stood on the city wall, her heart was already broken and full of revenge and destruction, but she looked bright and noble on the outside!
Under the city wall, the people shed tears, knelt on the ground, and shouted "Long live the princess". They looked at her as if they were looking up to a savior god!
At this point, she finally had her own people and also created a halo for herself!
Jiaojiao's breathing quickened and she was amazed.
Except for Yinzhu and Aunt Rou who already knew the truth, everyone believed until their death that Yu Liu was selfless and dedicated to his country and his people.
She really just fooled everyone... on her own.
Jiaojiao already knew about Yu Liu's later plan to serve in Yong Dynasty. Yu Liu also mentioned in the letter that the time when Zhou Bo and others sent Di Zaiying to the palace was the last time she saw Di Zaiying in her life.
Yu Liu did not describe the circumstances of that day in detail, which made Jiaojiao a little confused. What was the reason that led Di Zaiying to deviate from the original story and enter the palace early and lurk beside Xiao Si?
Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out, so she asked.
Shen Yuanbai lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Maybe it's because of the silver bead."
"Silver beads?" Jiaojiao was a little surprised and asked hurriedly.
Shen Yuanbai did not hide anything. He said truthfully, "After reading the letter from my mother, I talked to Yinzhu about the contents of the letter. At that time, Yinzhu emphasized Di Zaiying to me."
