Chapter 1968: Kill Her

    

considered marrying anyone else.Thus, she finally softened her voice and said, "Imperial brother, I still want to try."Zhao Li sighed, "Actually, Your Royal Brother doesn't need you to use a marriage...Mo Rongyan indeed knows what Mo Yunze cares about most.

After Mo Rongyan finished speaking, she saw Mo Yunze's face instantly darken. He spoke in an extremely indifferent tone, "So, Imperial Sister wants to cooperate with this King how"

Thinking of this, Mo Rongyan's eyes lit up with joy. She quickly said, "I know that Fourth Brother has quite a few skilled fighters and assassins in his hands. Perhaps we could find a way to deal with the new imperial concubine..."

At this, Mo Rongyan narrowed her eyes and made a gesture of slitting her throat.

Seeing her actions, the strategist beside her eyes flickered slightly, then turned to look at Mo Yunze lying on the bed.

Mo Yunze naturally understood the strategist's meaning. At this time, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly smiled at Mo Rongyan, "So, Imperial Sister means you want to use my hand to kill the new concubine"

"The elder sister's calculations are indeed loud and clear, but this matter concerns the future and life of this king. How could this king possibly do such a thing"

Hearing what he said, Mo Rongyan's face instantly fell. Her brows furrowed tightly, "What are you talking about, Fourth Brother What do you mean borrowing your hand Aren't we cooperating together"

Besides, Fourth Brother, don't you truly worry about the new imperial consort becoming pregnant with a dragon heir You must know that Father Emperor has been extremely disappointed in all of you sons these days.

"The chosen heir hasn't been decided yet, isn't it because Father is unsatisfied with all of you sons"

"If, at this juncture, the new imperial consort were to become pregnant with a prince, the fourth brother's deepest desires would likely be utterly unattainable."

Although her words were veiled, everyone could hear what Mo Rongyan meant.

She merely wanted to remind Mo Yunze, letting him know that if the new imperial concubine became pregnant with a prince, then... the vacant position of heir apparent, left empty for many years, would no longer be within reach for Mo Yunze and others.

Mò Yúnzé's heart's desire was nothing more than that dragon throne.

So, in order to fulfill her wish, the only way out now is to make sure the concubines in the harem can no longer give birth to princes.

The other concubines were fine, after all, the emperor didn't really care about them. Mo Yunze wanted to make things difficult for these concubines in the harem, making it impossible for them to conceive a prince, which would be easy.

The newly-appointed imperial consort is being protected too well by the emperor.

Since she was bestowed the title, not only the other concubines in the harem, but even Empress Mo Rongyan's mother, who was the head of the harem, had no chance to see this newly appointed noble consort.

The Emperor not only ordered the new concubine to be excused from her customary greeting, but also granted her a pardon from having to bow before the Empress.

Therefore, everyone in the harem knew that the emperor favored the new concubine very much and all wanted to meet her.

It's a pity that this new consort is mysterious and arrogant, and she never interacts with the other concubines like others do.

He didn't even go to Kunning Palace to pay respects to the Empress.

Even if some concubines in the harem were unhappy with her monopolizing the emperor and wanted to harm her, they would have no chance.

But Mo Rongyan felt that Mo Yunze must have many skilled fighters and assassins at his disposal. If he could send these people into the new imperial concubine's palace to kill her, all problems would be solved.

With the new concubine's death, no one could challenge the Empress Dowager's position.

And Mo Yunze is unlikely to face new competitors, he still has a high chance of ascending the throne.

After all, Mo Yunren, who could compete with him, was already disabled. As for Mo Yunjing, he had always been out of favor with his father emperor. It was impossible for his father emperor to make a son he disliked and who had attempted to assassinate him multiple times the crown prince.

That is to say, as long as there are no other competitors, the throne of Emperor of Tianba Country will sooner or later fall to Mo Yunze.

So Mo Rongyan didn't expect Mo Yunze to deny her proposal at this time.

At this moment, she frowned deeply, her puzzled gaze fixed on Mo Yunze, waiting for his explanation.

And Mo Yunze was also staring at her, a smirk playing on his lips. "Sister Huang, you simply want to kill the new concubine. If you have such a plan, then just spend a lot of money and hire someone to do it."

"But why did the eldest sister have this prince do it What is her motive"

"If my people intervene and fail, if father finds out I was the one who ordered it, what do you think will happen to me"

Mo Rongyan rolled her eyes directly, "So we can only succeed, not fail. You think I don't want to just hire someone to kill him"

"But what if we hire a killer What if the assassin isn't reliable and gets caught by Father Emperor's people, forced to confess and reveal our involvement By then, wouldn't we be left with no choice but to face the consequences, doomed to die"

"That's why I thought of sending those assassins you trained, Fourth Brother, to carry out this task. Even if they fail, the assassins will never reveal the mastermind behind it. By then, you and I will still be safe."

"If we were to seek out experts in the underworld, who could guarantee they wouldn't turn on us If we were captured, they might betray you and me to save their own lives. Wouldn't that be a terrible loss"

Mo Rongyan's words truly reflected her innermost thoughts at this very moment.

She and her mother, of course, had considered hiring assassins to kill the new noble consort.

But they might also be afraid that if they find someone unreliable, the mission fails and they are caught by the Imperial Guard. If they can't stand the torture, they might reveal the mastermind behind it all. That would be a terrible loss.

Although she and her mother couldn't possibly directly hire an assassin, if her father insisted on pursuing this line of investigation, he would definitely uncover some clues.

Her father emperor, once suspicious of people and things, didn't need conclusive evidence to make a judgment.

So she and her mother dared not gamble.

She was thinking of collaborating with Mo Yunze, but she knew that over the years, Mo Yunze had cultivated many assassins in the prince's mansion in order to compete for the position of crown prince.

Let these assassins enter the palace and take action. In case of failure and capture, the assassins will immediately commit suicide. There is no need to worry about them revealing any clues or exposing the identity of the mastermind behind this.

After Mo Rongyan finished speaking, Mo Yunze narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at his strategist.

He actually felt that Mo Rongyan's words made some sense.

Mo Rongyan, seeing him look at the other people in the room, immediately followed his gaze.

She also knew that the man standing by the bed was Mo Yunze's husband and had been by Mo Yunze's side for many years, advising him.

Mo Yunze looked at him now, as if wanting this gentleman to make a decision.

Thinking about this, Mo Rongyan narrowed her eyes and suddenly raised her foot to walk towards the strategist. "Sir, do you think it's wrong to send someone into the palace to kill that new noble concubine Or do you think the fourth brother shouldn't cooperate with this palace"

The strategist hurriedly bowed. “Your Highness, you misunderstood. I was merely considering the feasibility of this matter. The new imperial concubine should indeed be killed, but as Your Highness saw today, the emperor has sent a considerable number of Imperial Guards to protect her palace.”

"Those Imperial Guards are extraordinary. I'm just thinking, how many assassins would it take to break in within a very short time and successfully kill that new concubine"uo, reached out and touched the spot where the dagger had pierced him, her tightly furrowed brows finally eased a bit:"Well, it's not a fatal internal organ, but we'll still need to perform an abdomin...
