Chapter 232 It’s Me
Xie Jingmo's face froze and he looked a little awkward.
Under the gaze of Deputy General Gao, he spoke in a muffled voice, "At Yun Zhao's father's age, he shouldn't have had to join the army."
Deputy General Gao was shocked!
"you……"
For a moment, Deputy General Gao didn't know how to describe his shock.
After a long moment, he was speechless and said, "So it was you who planned to let Yun Zhao join the army. I said that Yun Zhao couldn't pass the first step of the physical examination for joining the army. How could he join the army at the border and still be so—"
That’s all I have to say.
Deputy General Gao's pupils trembled again.
"So, it was you who exposed Yun Zhao's daughter identity later..."
Xie Jingmo nodded and admitted everything, "It was me. I saw that the time was right, so I deliberately designed Yun Zhao to be exposed, so that she would have to rely on me for the safety of her family."
Deputy General Gao was amazed.
After a moment, he realized something was wrong, "That's not right. Weren't you thinking about Lin Ruyu at that time?"
Xie Jingmo frowned, "At that time, I didn't think clearly."
All he knew was that he caught a glimpse of Yun Zhao on the street during the Lantern Festival and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
He stared at it for a long time, becoming obsessed.
Over the years, he has had many opportunities to think clearly about the reasons behind such impulsive designs.
But in the end, he was involved in the Queen Mother's plan, and he didn't want to think about it.
A man's self-esteem makes him unable to give up his face.
Even though Yun Zhao had saved him many times, he still felt that his anxious look was full of conspiracy.
He was on guard every day to avoid getting too deeply involved.
But who would have known that, on the streets of Chang'an, under the bright moonlight, he had already fallen in love with her at first sight.
Deputy General Gao sighed, "General, you understand now, it's too late."
"Too late?" Xie Jingmo's face showed the pride of a superior since ancient times. "I, Xie Jingmo, have never failed to get what I want."
Deputy General Gao sighed, "But Yun Zhao is a human being, not a thing."
"General, if you like a girl, you can't always use her weakness to force her, right?"
"Besides, do you think it's interesting to have a love that's forced but not willing?"
Xie Jingmo thought back to his seven years at the frontier and said, "It's interesting."
Vice Admiral Gao: "..."
"Have you asked Yun Zhao?"
"Did she find it interesting?"
"If she knew one day that everything was a setup, and that she, a good girl, was forced to go to the frontier and be separated from her family for so many years, would she still find it interesting?"
Xie Jingmo's heart stagnated, and he immediately said: "She won't know. I will compensate her in the future. She will be the only legal wife in my palace."
Deputy General Gao's expression was indescribable. "Yun Zhao is so unlucky to have met you."
Xie Jingmo couldn't listen to this.
He only knew that those in power had absolute perspective and decision-making power.
As long as he uses it well.
Then Yun Zhao would walk to his side step by step just like he did in the past.
This time, he will cherish her well.
When Deputy General Gao left, he said to Xie Jingmo: "General, you have to know that some people will fall into the same pit twice, but some people will not."
And Yun Zhao belongs to the latter.
Xie Jingmo couldn't listen. He only knew that Yun Zhao could only be his.
Xie Jingmo went directly to see the emperor.
"I know you are making a deal, and the deal should be over now. Please, Your Majesty, return the person to me." Xie Jingmo went straight to the point.
The emperor drank wine in the evening.
After hearing what Xie Jingmo said, my mind suddenly became clear.
He had already fulfilled his promise to the Regent by controlling the floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, I am unable to respond to Xie Jingmo now.
Xie Jingmo seemed to know everything, "It doesn't matter. I will compete fairly with Mu Chengyan. In the end, let Yun Zhao choose for himself."
The emperor raised his eyes.
Xie Jingmo was standing with his back to the moonlight, looking gloomy and cold with a violent look in his eyes.
The emperor frowned, "Yun Zhao has already chosen."
She agreed.
"Then choose again," Xie Jingmo said possessively, "until you choose me!"
The emperor frowned, "Jing Mo, you are a prince, a general, you are of noble status, why do you always have to pick on a little girl like Yun Zhao? If you can see that she and Mu Chengyan are doing well, why do you have to do that?"
"You liked Lin Ruyu before, and now that she's dead, you're obsessed with Yun Zhao? That's not kind, and it's unnecessary. It's below your standard as an emperor."
Xie Jingmo still refused to listen. He seemed overbearing. "It's settled. Yun Zhao will decide who to choose in the end. And in the end, she can only choose me."
After Xie Jingmo finished speaking, he bowed and left.
Fu Hai stood outside, listening with fear.
He was deeply worried about Yun Zhao.
It was clearly a good time, so why was Xie Jingmo going crazy again?
Deputy General Gao was worried and stopped the people at the city gate.
Xie Jingmo waved his hand and said, "Please help me arrange a meeting with Mu Chengyan."
Deputy General Gao was stunned. "What do you want to do with Mu Chengyan?"
Xie Jingmo's eyes were red, "What can I do? Yun Zhao has no weaknesses now, but Mu Chengyan does. Being a crooked person is Mu Chengyan's biggest weakness.
I asked Mucheng to postpone the election, and I also wanted to show Yunzhao that no matter how deep the relationship is, it will be destroyed one day."
Vice Admiral Gao: "Are you... crazy? Mu Chengyan is still the regent. Are you going to openly become his enemy now?"
Xie Jingmo's face was full of madness. "I can't care so much now. The flood in Jiangnan will end soon. I can't stop Yun Zhao. If she wants to leave, I know I can't stop her with her temper..."
"Don't talk so much. Tell Mu Chengyan for me. I want to see him."
Xie Jingmo was about to leave after saying this.
Deputy General Gao was behind him, "Xie Jingmo, aren't you afraid that Yun Zhao will hate you in the end?"
Xie Jingmo paused.
For some reason, thinking back to the days when Yun Zhao's parents passed away and Yun Zhao was completely hopeless, he clenched his fists and hardened his heart, "I said, I will make it up to her. I will treat her better than Mu Chengya did."
After saying this, he seemed afraid that he would regret it.
Xie Jingmo left without looking back.
Deputy General Gao sighed behind his back.
The next day.
Xie Jingmo entered the palace.
I met someone on the road.
The man was unkempt, with a face full of pits and dents. When he smiled, he looked eerie and scary.
"Thank you, General."
Xie Jingmo took a look and said, "It's you."
The once majestic Concubine Yi.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I know you want to keep Yun Zhao. Why don't we join forces?"
Xie Jingmo: "Just you?"
"Behind me is the Chang family, Xie Jingmo. The temporary threat is short-lived. What you want is to eliminate the eternal enemy and prevent Mu Chengyan from ever coming back."
"You know, our Chang family has this ability. No matter how powerful Mu Chengyan is, he is just a mortal. Xie Jingmo, cooperate with me. I don't need any of your soldiers to make Mu Chengyan disappear."
Xie Jingmo looked at Concubine Yi's ugly face and asked, "What do you want?"
Concubine Yi smiled sinisterly, "I want you to help my child become the crown prince."
