Chapter 1190 What Else Can Be Done?
y used the term "slave girl" to address herself.Therefore, that woman could not be the person their master had in mind. After all, she was the county princess of Anle Houfu. Even if she came now for s...Mo Yunze was startled to hear that his father had actually sent a thousand imperial guards. It seemed his father was determined to take advantage of Mo Yunjing's absence from the capital and disregard An Xuetang, seizing this opportunity to eliminate her.
Thinking of An Xuetang's highly likely death today, he felt a twinge of regret in his heart. He still remembered the prophecy that Master Ming Deng had revealed back then.
If only An Xue Tang would willingly follow him, he'd have everything in the world.
It's a pity he extended his olive branches so many times, but An Xuetang, that woman who doesn't know what's good for her, never accepted.
This eunuch wouldn't dare to linger outside the palace for too long. Seeing that Mo Yunze remained silent, he softly asked, "Your Highness Are there any other questions you need this servant to answer"
Mo Yunze came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "Gone, gone. Thank you, father-in-law, this king will send someone to take you back to the palace."
"Your Highness is too kind. We can go back on our own. The imperial guards sent by the Emperor are just outside the palace, so we'll wish Your Highness a… triumphant start!"
"A good start" pleased Mo Yunze immediately. He smiled and nodded, "Then I'll take your words as a lucky omen, Sir."
"Have the steward escort this eunuch away. Mo Yunze turned to face 'Zhao Li' behind him, raising the imperial edict in his hand. "Brother Zhao, how is it Has this king not disappointed you"
By the time he turned around, he had concealed his unintentional worry. He now echoed Mo Yunze, "So, Brother Ze, can you set off for Beijang Wangfu now and seek justice for my Xuan Kingdom's high-ranking princess"
"Of course, Zhao Ge also heard what his father-in-law just said. This time, to capture An Xue Tang, my father has personally dispatched thousands of Imperial Guards. It shows that my father is determined to do this."
< Fourteen thought to himself, "Damn that treacherous father and son. They're useless and have no real skills, but they're exceptionally good at taking advantage of others." >
If their prince were still in the capital, no one would dare to lay a hand on their princess.
This insidious scoundrel would only take advantage of the absence of their king during his campaign to try every means possible to harm their princess.
Though I complain in my heart, on the surface Shi Fourteen still slightly nodded his head, "Then this one will await Ze-xiong to seek justice for His Majesty's younger sister."
"Agreed, but… this king needs your younger sister's head for a bit, oh and also the maidservant by her side."
"..."
Si Xin's heart sneered. What did Mo Yunze want to use Zhao Si's head and that maidservant for, he knew clearly. However, right now, he was 'Zhao Li', and according to Zhao Li's temperament, he would absolutely not refuse Mo Yunze's proposal.
So he didn't hesitate much and agreed, "Absolutely, as long as it's fair. I don't care about the process, all that matters is that Brother Ze can give my sister justice and allow her to finally rest in peace."
Zhou Zhiyao, who was by Zhou Shi's side these past few days, hadn't interfered much with Zhao Li's decisions. However, hearing Zhao Li so nonchalantly say he could hand over Zhao Si's head, his eyes became complex, gazing deeply at Zhao Li's back, his eyes growing darker and deeper.
Lately, he seems to have a hard time understanding 'Zhao Li'.
However, he also knew that having Mo Yunze take Zhao Si's head and her maid who used to serve her to the Beijiang Wangfu would be even more effective in attacking the Beijiang princess. Therefore, he didn't speak up to stop it.
Mo Yunze invited 'Zhao Li' to go with him, but 'Zhao Li' refused. Mo Yunze did not insist, and went to order Zhao Si's head and her maidservant to be brought along, along with the thousand Imperial Guards given by the emperor, and set off for the Beijang王府.
Seeing Mo Yunze and the others leave the palace, Fourteen turned to Zhou Zhiyao beside him and said, "You should go too, and see what results they can come up with."
Zhou Zhiyao refused, "My subordinate does not feel comfortable leaving Your Highness alone here. Your Highness's guards are now few in number. If my subordinate leaves as well, and assassins come, I fear for Your Highness's safety."
Fourteen frowned, "No, this is Mo Yunze's mansion. We've lived here for many days and haven't seen any assassins. What are you worried about Go on, I need to get firsthand information."
Zhou Zhiyao wasn't sure what he had agreed to. He stared intently at Shi Fourteen, silent for a moment. "Your Highness, are you trying to send your subordinate away"
" "
Fourteen's heart skipped a beat. Zhao Li's confidante was indeed quite clever; he had spotted the flaw with just a slight lapse in Fourteen's attention.
"What do you mean by that"
Zhou Zhiyao's eyes were firm, he finally realized that the person in front of him was not his master Zhao Li.
Where is Zhao Li
Is it life or death now
Thinking of Zhao Si's tragic head, Zhou Zhiyao's face instantly turned pale. His whole body trembled subconsciously, "He...he..."
From his expression, I could tell that Zhou Zhiyao probably already knew he was an imposter this week.
But even if he knew, what could he do
He needed to take care of this man in front of him quickly. He also had to get back to the Beijang王府 as soon as possible to inform their princess about the emperor and Mo Yunze's plan. So there was no way he could allow Zhou Zhiyao to be an obstacle in his path right now.
Thinking of this, Fourteenth narrowed her icy eyes, "Want to know where he is Come with me."
Once he finished speaking, he left first and returned to his own courtyard.
He needn't worry at all that Zhou Zhiyao wouldn't go with him, because for Zhou Zhiyao, who had staked his entire life and future on Zhao Li, Zhao Li's life and death decided his own fate.
So, not knowing whether Zhao Li was alive or dead, he dared not do anything.
As expected, Zhou Zhiyao indeed dared not speak out. He only wanted to know Zhao Li's current situation, whether he was dead or alive, and what their purpose was in controlling him after.
He followed the Fourteenth into the room, always on guard, afraid that the Fourteenth would attack him. Therefore, after entering, he kept a distance from the Fourteenth.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he couldn't wait to ask Fourteen, "Tell me, who are you Where is our lord now"
Fourteen raised an eyebrow, but didn't answer his question. Instead, she calmly countered, "So how did you figure out that I wasn't Zhao Li My appearance, my voice, they're identical to his."
Zhou Zhiyao clenched his fists, "Although our prince is displeased with what the princess has done, he once loved this younger sister very much. Since coming to the Fourth Prince's residence, you have disregarded your sibling bond and tormented her day after day. This is already suspicious enough. But today, you would agree without a second thought to let Mo Yunze take the princess's head and display it to the public. Our prince could never do such a thing."
"So you think Zhao Li would disagree with Mo Yunze bringing Zhao Si's head"o leave, even if An Xuetang personally went into action, he didn't step out of that room.He wouldn't leave her side, and he even tried his best to stop anyone from taking Foler away.These days, everyo...
