In the evening, the couple completed what they had not finished before dinner.
Lu Qingtang was lying in Mo Zeshen's arms, his rosy face a bit shy, and he looked up at Mo Zeshen with endless affection.
Mo Ze reached out to lift her chin, kissed her, and explored her mouth wantonly, making Lu Qingtang unable to breathe.
He let her go, looked at her red lips that were red and swollen from being kissed, and then smiled with satisfaction.
Lu Qingtang rolled her eyes at him, then poked his shoulder with her finger, "Luoxue came to me today and said that Aunt Zhang had something to tell me in person, and she had to see me in person."
Mo Ze looked deeply at her, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and stroked her frown between her eyebrows with his other hand, "Do you suspect there is a trap?"
Lu Qingtang shook his head, "I don't know, but I have to go to Zhennan Palace."
During the memorial ceremony three days later, Ji Wuhen knew that there would be danger, so he had to keep Ji Wenzhan in the palace. She originally wanted to go to Zhennan Prince's Mansion in person and bring him back. After all, he and she were born from the same mother. Even without this relationship, she would not touch Ji Wenzhan.
It's just that if this happens, Ji Wenzhan will inevitably hate himself and the court. If he continues to provoke and take revenge, this matter will be endless.
Maybe that's what she was worried about.
Leaning in Mo Zeshen's arms, Lu Qingtang murmured: "Mo Zeshen, do you think we will succeed in three days?"
She felt uneasy in her heart and wanted Mo Zeshen to give her some reassurance.
Mo Zeshen beside him spoke, "Don't worry, all the procedures have been prepared. I already want the details, so don't worry."
He paused and his voice became cold, "I will definitely help you take revenge. I will kill Ji Wuhen with my own hands out of this bad breath."
Lu Qingtang nodded, continued to nestle in his arms, and soon fell asleep.
…
At this time in the Zhennan Palace, Ji Wuhen was feeling uneasy.
He sat in the study for a long time, reading a page or two of the paper on the desk, but could not read a single word.
He had to go to the memorial ceremony three days later. He and Mo Zeshen were so tense that he should come forward to talk about it, but he also knew why Mo Zeshen came to Nanzhou.
His Majesty is his companion when he was young. They rode horses and hunted together, imagined the future together, and went through life and death together. Half of the current Daheng Dynasty is due to him, but now he wants to reduce the vassalage.
It is not impossible to reduce the vassal status. He is not the kind of person who is greedy for power. He can accept the imperial court taking away military power and just let him be an idle prince. However, what he never expected was that Emperor Kang Yuan turned his back and refused to recognize anyone. Those former heroes died, were demoted, and were exiled. He never thought that he would use the same method to deal with him.
Do you want to bear the infamy and let the Zhennan Palace, which has lasted for several generations, be destroyed in your own hands?
He is not willing to give in!
Ji Wuhen, who was sitting on the seat, sneered. He tilted his head back and closed his eyes in pain.
He didn't dare to accept such a serious crime of rebellion. He still had a son, so he couldn't just watch his son die in front of him.
He is innocent, he cannot accept such a charge, he refuses to accept it!
Ji Wuhen stood up and told the servants outside the door to call the guard Chi Xin in.
Soon, Chi Xin entered the study.
He knelt down on one knee and reported to Ji Wuhen: "Your Majesty, Bai Zhixue went to Kaishan Temple today, and Ling Guang sent him back after a long time."
Ji Wuhen, who was sitting on the seat, sneered, "Sure enough, my Zhennan Prince's Mansion is as leaky as a sieve."
After laughing, he asked again: "What is Luoxue doing at Kaishan Temple?"
Chi Xin shook his head, "I don't know. I only heard that Aunt Zhang was talking to Princess Chen about something important. Princess Chen said she would meet with her at the palace in three days."
Ji Wuhen narrowed his eyes and frowned, "Is it very important? Are you going to destroy my Zhennan Palace?"
Chi Xin said nothing and knelt down motionless.
After a long time, Ji Wuhen finally spoke, "Go and call the Crown Prince in. I have something to say to him."
Chi Xin went out and came back with Ji Wenzhan not long after.
Ji Wenzhan walked into the study and bowed to Ji Wuhen, "I wonder what father wants from me?"
Ji Wuhen glanced at Chixin, who immediately exited the study and closed the door.
He walked forward, reached out and patted Ji Wenzhan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The brat has grown a lot stronger, and his features are becoming more and more like your mother's."
Ji Wenzhan smiled shyly, and Lu Qingtang's face appeared in his mind.
He was a little sad, "Mom, I definitely don't want us to treat our sister like this. Father, please stop making things difficult for Lu Qingtang, okay?"
Ji Wuhen immediately turned cold and looked directly at Ji Wenzhan, "If the sister you talk about wants to kill you and destroy my Zhen'an Palace, will you also protect her like this?"
Ji Wenzhan shook his head and said firmly: "No, dad, she promised me that she would keep Zhennan Palace, she will definitely believe it..."
"That was before!"
Ji Wuhen interrupted Ji Wenzhan's words.
There was a cold light in his eyes, "But I attacked her beforehand. How could she not hold a grudge? And can Mo Zeshen let me go!"
Ji Wenzhan said nothing, his eyes filled with panic.
He then heard Ji Wuhen continue: "According to the report from the secret guard, Mo Zeshen's people will sneak attack our palace in three days while I am going to Kaishan Temple to worship my ancestors. By then, the lives of more than a hundred people in the palace will be lost. Wu Cun, my child, my family is going to be lost!”
Ji Wenzhan looked surprised. He shook his head and muttered: "Impossible, my sister promised me, it's impossible!"
Ji Wuhen's lips turned cold and he smiled, "She can save your life, but she can't save the young and old in Zhen'an Palace. She hates her father so much. Will you watch your father die?"
After saying that, helplessness appeared on his face with vicissitudes of life, and his sharp eyes glowed red.
Ji Wenzhan's heart hurt as if he was being cut by a knife. He swallowed down his throat, "My child... my child, how could this happen? You are the father."
Ji Wuhen's warm hand touched Ji Wenzhan's face and said in a trembling voice: "Son, you must help daddy this time. Daddy has no other choice but to give it a try!"
My heart is in a mess at this moment.
On one side is his sister, whom he has only known for a few months, and on the other side is his father who has loved and cared for him since childhood.
An ordinary person would choose his father without hesitation.
But he hesitated.
His father is important, and so is his sister. Although he has only been with her for a month, family affection has already taken root in his heart, and they cannot escape the blood relationship.
But the Zhennan Palace is equally more important. He grew up here. It's not fair that he will be exterminated if he doesn't do anything wrong.
When I was studying, my husband taught me that only when you are strong can you be soft-hearted, and only by putting aside the secular world can you achieve great things. The most important thing now is Zhennan Palace. As for his sister, when he becomes stronger, he will naturally be able to protect her.
Ji Wenzhan raised his head, looked at Ji Wuhen whose face was full of tears, and said solemnly: "Whatever daddy needs the child to do, the child will do it!"
