"I am only a Prince of the imperial family. Only Mo Jingli himself knows these things," Mo Jingli said.
Mo Xiuyao shook his head, not believing his words at all. He smiled. "But I feel that there are many things that even Mo Jingli doesn't know about. The one who truly knows should be … the Empress Dowager. And this time, it's impossible for the Empress Dowager to not tell you at all about your visit to Glass City. "
Mo Jingyu was startled, lowering his eyes in silence.
Mo Xiuyao leisurely leaned against the couch, calmly saying, "When Mo Jingli was still alive, he had planted many spies in the Northwest. Naturally, Mo Jingli wouldn't know about these things. But … the Empress Dowager definitely knows. Originally, I didn't plan to pay attention to it. After all … there are no walls in this world that don't have cracks. Even if I get rid of these spies, there will always be people who will sharpen their heads and dig in. But this time … Mo Jingli's incident taught I a very important lesson. Being soft-hearted will only bring about big trouble. So, I decided to clean up those bugs, spray them with insecticide water, and set them on fire. Perhaps they won't grow in the future. "
Mo Jingyu's lips couldn't help but twitch. You call this being soft-hearted? Everyone in the world is a living Buddha.
"From the start … did you want to dig out Da Chu State's spies in the Northwest, or did you want to capture Mo Jingli?" After a long time, Mo Jingyu finally asked. Mo Xiuyao rubbed his chin, calmly asking, "Why can't I think of both? That old witch from Da Chu State sure has guts. Using this to negotiate with I? The Mohist army can't attack Jiangnan for twenty years? How did she come up with such a cute condition? "
Mo Jingyu finally understood that all these unlucky matters originated from the Empress Dowager's own decision. He didn't know that the Empress Dowager had proposed such a condition to Mo Xiuyao. It was obvious that the Empress Dowager was still on guard against him. Sighing, Mo Jingyu said, "I don't know about this. The Empress Dowager didn't even tell me about this. Do you think I would know about the list of Da Chu State's spies in the Northwest?"
Mo Xiuyao sneered, "If you didn't know, would you dare to make this trip?"
Mo Jingyu fell silent again. After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "What benefits will I get if I tell you?" Mo Xiuyao looked at him with a radiant smile. "You don't have to be tortured." Mo Jingyu shook his head. "No, you have to guarantee my safety. Although I agreed to help Mo Jingli, I didn't actually do anything. So, it shouldn't be considered as offending the Prince Ding Mansion, right? I can tell you where the Little Heir is, but you have to guarantee my safety and let me leave the Northwest. "
Mo Xiuyao looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. "You didn't do anything? Forcing the Da Chu State's little Emperor to trick Mo Xiaobao out, does that count as doing something? "
Mo Jingyu's eyes widened. "How did you …"
Mo Xiuyao waved his hand, and the door to the nearby prison opened. A eleven or twelve year old youth wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walked in. Looking at Mo Jingyu, he softly called, "Uncle Yu."
Mo Jingyu stared at Mo Xiuyao in disbelief. "It was you … it was you who told Mo Xiuyao?" Just by looking at Mo Suiyun's appearance, he knew that he didn't suffer much. In other words, the people from the Prince Ding Mansion didn't force him. He even saw a hint of joy and schadenfreude in Mo Suiyun's eyes. Mo Jingyu couldn't help but think that perhaps he had always underestimated this unremarkable little Emperor.
Mo Suiyun blinked, looking at Mo Jingyu with some grievance. "Uncle Yu, I'm very sorry. I don't want to die, and I don't want to die with you. I'm very scared … very scared of Uncle Prince Ding. Haven't you always told me that Uncle Prince Ding is very powerful? Then why did you still want me to capture his son? I'll die. "
Mo Jingyu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. How could he not see that this kid was simply pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? Mo Jingyu gritted his teeth. "Mo Suiyun, do you know what you're doing?"
Mo Suiyun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Mo Xiuyao lazily said, "This child knows what he's doing better than you. How do you think I knew what you were going to do tonight? How did Shen Yang not know about the Ice Magnolia in the main hall? "
"It was you?!" Although he knew that he had been betrayed by Mo Suiyun, Mo Jingyu still didn't dare to believe that Mo Suiyun had started to collude with the Prince Ding Mansion so early. "You … cooperating with the Prince Ding Mansion, aren't you afraid of asking a tiger for its skin?"
Mo Suiyun looked up at Mo Jingyu, saying seriously, "Uncle Yu, if I didn't cooperate with the Prince Ding Mansion, I might have already died. If I cooperate with Uncle Prince Ding, I'll still have a chance to live. Only by living can I have a chance to turn the tables." After taking a deep look at Mo Suiyun, Mo Jingyu finally fell back into his chair powerlessly, looking as though he had nothing to say. Mo Xiuyao waved his hand, signaling for someone to bring Mo Suiyun back. The prison cell quieted down again. Mo Xiuyao looked at Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li, saying with a bitter smile, "Prince Ding is indeed a good schemer. He can play everyone in the world in the palm of his hand." Mo Xiuyao slightly raised his eyebrows, not saying anything. Mo Jingyu looked at him and said, "From the start, you knew that Mo Jingli wanted to make a move on Prince Ding. And you knew what he wanted to do. Then … Prince Ding being captured so easily by Mo Jingli was probably part of his plan, right? "
After suddenly realizing that everything was in the palm of someone else's hand, Mo Jingyu became clear-headed instead. He suddenly recalled that when Mo Xiuyao's corpse came back to life, Mo Jingli and Lei Zhenting did not see any clues. His heart sank, and he said, "The one captured by Mo Jingli was not the prince at all!" No parents would be able to remain so calm and collected when their son was taken away, even if there were countless people secretly protecting him.
Mo Xiuyao sighed softly, looking at Mo Jingyu with some regret. "Mo Jingyu, you've always been a smart person. It's a pity … you did a foolish thing in I's territory. I really had no choice but to take action against you. What benefits did Mo Jingli give you to dare to go against I? "
Mo Jingyu's face was pale. He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "The Imperial Jade Seal."
"The Imperial Jade Seal?" Mo Xiuyao raised his brows with interest. He turned to look at Ye Li and asked, "Li, do you like the Imperial Jade Seal?" Ye Li looked at him with a smile. "The Imperial Jade Seal? What use does it have? "
"It doesn't seem to have any use." Mo Xiuyao was silent for a moment. "It's just a bit bigger than the Prince Ding Mansion's seal." Ye Li shook her head. "If you think it's too small, you can carve the Nine Dragons Seal onto the Prince Ding Mansion's handwriting." Mo Xiuyao nodded in agreement. He had no interest in the Imperial Jade Seal, and … the one in Mo Jingli's hand could not be called the Imperial Jade Seal. At most, it could only be considered the Da Chu State's Imperial Jade Seal. If he was interested, he could directly establish a country and take the throne. He could find any piece of jade and carve a Imperial Jade Seal for generations to come.
Mo Xiuyao's smile was somewhat bitter. Not everyone had Mo Xiuyao's ability and boldness. For someone who had ambitions for the throne, the Imperial Jade Seal was definitely an irresistible temptation. Moreover, Mo Jingli's conditions were far more than just the Imperial Jade Seal. He had no choice but to agree.
