Chapter 1013: Surrender the Northern Border Princess?
rms of personality and ability.So he wouldn't let Ning'er leave easily, but she and Yunliu couldn't be together either, otherwise things would become much more complicated than just letting her go.Aft...Faced with Zhao Li's questioning, Mo Yunjing didn't even bother to look at him, let alone answer.
The emperor clenched his fists, "Mo Yunjing, what do you mean Are you dissatisfied with how I handled this"
"As I have said before, no one in my family has done anything wrong. They cannot be punished by anyone unless I die."
"...."
Mo Yunjing's tough and arrogant attitude angered both the emperor and Zhao Li.
The emperor himself did not want to provoke Mo Yunjing, but in his opinion, he had already given Mo Yunjing and the servants of Beijang王府 enough face.
If this had happened on a normal day, he would certainly have punished Mo Yunjing for his incompetence. The entire North Border Royal Manor, from top to bottom, would also have been punished severely.
He's only asking for the servants from yesterday, a few insignificant people, to be handed over by Mo Yunjing. This is already giving him a great deal of face, and he's still not satisfied!
Mo Yunze always wanted to take any opportunity to belittle Mo Yunjing, so when he saw their father angered by Mo Yunjing's words to the point of struggling to breathe, he leisurely said:
"Fifth brother, yesterday I also witnessed the situation. Those people at your manor, knowing full well that they were facing the Third Prince and Sixth Princess of Xuan Guo, still dared to injure them without regard for their status."
"Though they are just servants, perhaps yesterday they really ate a tiger's courage, otherwise how could these servants have such courage to hurt people But no matter what the process was, they did injure the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess. This is a fact. It is the right thing to hand them over to the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess for punishment. At this point, Fifth Brother should not protect these rebellious slaves."
Mo Yunze's words were quite clever. Both the Emperor and the Third Prince, Zhao Li, understood that what happened yesterday was undoubtedly the servants of Beijang Wangfu who dared to act this way because they had received their master's orders.
Both the Emperor and Zhao Li knew that wanting to move against the master of Beijiang Wangfu wouldn't be easy.
Therefore, the two of them only wanted to give each other a step down. Zhao Li also thought about bearing with it for now, but Mo Yunze's words, both directly and indirectly, deliberately pointed out yesterday's events. The servants of Bei Jiang Wangfu were so bold because there must be someone backing them up.
This puts Zhao Li in a difficult position.
Mo Yunze had made his position clear. If he didn't make the Emperor of Tianba Country investigate the true mastermind behind yesterday's events, wouldn't it mean he was afraid of the North Border King of Tianba Country Wouldn't that mean that he, a prince of Xuan Country, was being bullied by members of Tianba Country's royal family and dared not seek justice for himself
This is no longer a matter of personal grievance. What Mo Yunze has thrown out concerns the dignity of his Xuan Country.
The emperor, having heard what Mo Yunze had said, naturally understood the meaning behind his words. Seeing Zhao Li's face change color, the emperor glared fiercely at Mo Yunze.
He originally just wanted to settle things down, but his two sons, one worse than the other, were giving him a headache and causing him trouble.
As expected, after Mo Yunze spoke, Zhao Li's face changed. Zhao Si on the side was even more furious. She had a crush on Mo Yunjing and naturally wouldn't think yesterday's incident was orchestrated by him.
But she didn't forget either, that the current Beijang Palace wasn't just home to Mo Yunjing alone. There was also that woman from the countryside who held the position of Beijang Princess.
Thinking of this, Zhao Si stepped forward. She bowed to the emperor and then said:
"Your Majesty, I believe yesterday's incident was not Jing Gege's fault. It must have been that country bumpkin of a wife who is married to Jing Gege who caused it."
"Since Jing Gege is determined to protect those servants, we won't make Your Majesty or Jing Gege uncomfortable. We won't make things difficult for the lives of those servants either. As long as Your Majesty hands over that Northern Border Princess to us siblings."w could she bear to let him leave like this But before she could speak, she was stopped by Zhao Li's sharp gaze.She still couldn't say anything.The palace banquet was rather casual, and both Zhao Li a...
