Dongfang You's eyes flashed, and she said unhappily, "I said, I don't know."
Mo Jingli sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? Dongfang You, I am giving you face now. Jiangnan is I's place. Do you think I can't find him if you don't say I? " Seeing Mo Jingli like this, Dongfang You was no longer polite. She said coldly, "Then I'm warning you. If you dare to touch a hair of his, don't blame me for being rude."
Mo Jingli now understood Dongfang You's character. He took a deep breath and said mockingly, "Even if you don't give him to me, what do you want to do? Lock him up for life? Do you think all the people in the Prince Ding Mansion are dead? Maybe the people in the Prince Ding Mansion are already looking for him all over Jiangnan. With the ability of the Shadow Guards in the Prince Ding Mansion, how much time do you think they need? "
Dongfang You was silent for a while. She looked up at Mo Jingli and said proudly, "Don't waste your time. As long as I don't want to, no one can find him."
Mo Jingli finally couldn't stand it anymore. He glared at Dongfang You for a long time before he said coldly, "Dongfang You, you can die with Xu Qingchen in your arms. I'm afraid that Xu Qingchen won't even want to die with you. "
After that, he didn't care about what Dongfang You said. He turned and slammed the door of the study.
Mo Jingli walked quickly into the Li Palace. Just by looking at his back, one could see the anger in his eyes. His confidants behind him looked at each other worriedly and asked carefully, "Prince, about the Princess …"
Mo Jingli paused and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about her! If she wants to go out in the future, let her go. I want to see how long she can endure it! " The person behind him nodded and said, "Prince is wise. She can't endure it for long because of her feelings for Master Qingchen. We are right behind her, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. "
Although he had no feelings for Dongfang You, she was still his legal wife. Dongfang You's infatuation with Young Master Qingchen was exposed by his subordinate. Mo Jingli's face darkened even more. He snorted and left in a huff.
Mo Jingli was busy with the alliance with West-Hill and the Northern Tribes. He did not have much time to pay attention to Dongfang You and only sent people to keep an eye on her. Meanwhile, in the Imperial Court, Mo Jingli had suddenly thrown out a powerful bomb, causing an uproar. Even those who supported Mo Jingli could not help but look at the Regent, who was full of self-satisfaction, as if they were looking at a madman, not to mention those old officials who had a good impression of the Prince Ding Mansion.
Mo Jingli had just dropped the news of forming an alliance with the Northern Tribes of Western Tomb. Before he had the chance to talk about his great ambitions and plans, someone from the Highness stood up and said in a low voice, "Prince, you can't do this!"
Mo Jingli looked at the person in front of him and his face immediately darkened. Mo Jingli had dealt with the Empress Dowager's party for so long. If he still did not know who was supporting the Empress Dowager, Mo Jingli would have lived in vain all these years. Mo Jingqi had a falling out with the Empress Dowager when he was alive. Many of the Empress Dowager's original supporters had been removed by him. Under such circumstances, there was no one else other than the Prince Ding Mansion that could keep the Empress Dowager in and out of the Imperial Court. Therefore, Mo Jingli directly regarded the Empress Dowager's people as Mo Xiuyao's people. Naturally, he wanted to skin them alive and pull out their tendons. He looked coldly at the Highness's people and asked, "Why not?"
The minister who stood up said seriously, "West-Hill and the Northern Tribes invaded our territory and killed our people. As the Regent of the Da Chu State, the Prince is in charge of the Da Chu State. How can he form an alliance with them? What's the difference between this and acknowledging a thief as your father? "
"How dare you!" Mo Jingli was so angry that his face darkened. He angrily rebuked.
"Lord Wang is absolutely right. Prince, please reconsider. "Everyone said in unison.
Mo Jingli looked carefully and saw that more than 80% of the courtiers had knelt in agreement. Even the remaining 20% had expressions of disapproval. Actually, when Mo Jingli had originally agreed to form an alliance with West-Hill and the Northern Tribes, he knew that this would be the result. But when he saw that so many people were against him, the feeling that the entire world was against him still made Mo Jingli furious. He stared coldly at the courtiers kneeling in front of him and said, "West-Hill and the Northern Tribes are enemies of the Da Chu State? Is the Prince Ding Mansion not an enemy? Isn't the land that Mo Xiuyao is occupying Da Chu State? I want to know, are you loyal to the Da Chu State or the Prince Ding Mansion? "
Such heart-wrenching words immediately made many of the old courtiers in the court feel a chill in their hearts. Many of these old courtiers had served two or even three dynasties. If not for their loyalty to the Da Chu State, they would have directly sought refuge with the Prince Ding Mansion. Even if they could not obtain important positions, they could at least live out their old age peacefully. But now, because they had disobeyed King Li's wishes, they had been labeled as disloyal to the Da Chu State. How could they not feel disheartened? Moreover, King Li's decision to form an alliance with West-Hill and the Northern Tribes was a huge mistake. No matter who won or lost in the end, they would go down in infamy.
"We do not have such intentions, but we cannot form an alliance with West-Hill and the Northern Tribes. Regent, please reconsider! "The courtiers said in unison.
Mo Jingli waved his sleeve unhappily and said, "I have already made up my mind. There is no need to discuss it further." As he said this, Mo Jingli's gaze swept over the little Emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne with tears in his eyes because of the sudden change in atmosphere. A dark light flashed through Mo Jingli's eyes. He walked to the little Emperor's side and asked in a low voice, "Emperor, what do you think of I's decision?"
The little Emperor Mo Jingli had always been afraid of this Regent Royal Uncle. Being stared at by Mo Jingli, he immediately burst into tears. Mo Jingli glanced at him with disgust and roared in a low voice, "What are you crying for? You are the Emperor. Acting like this in front of the courtiers is not proper! I am asking you a question! " The little Emperor was so frightened that he choked. His tear-filled face immediately turned red. He choked and said, "Royal Uncle … Wu wu, what Royal Uncle said … is right …"
Mo Jingli snorted softly and glanced at the people below, "Did you hear that? This is the Emperor's intention. You don't want to respect I's decree. Could it be that you also want to disobey the Emperor's decree? " The courtiers were speechless. The little Emperor was only eight or nine years old. Moreover, he had been frightened by Mo Jingli for the past two years. Even if the Empress Dowager tried her best to teach him, it was useless. He was even worse than an ordinary eight or nine year old child. But what could they say? That the Emperor was still young and insensible? That what he said did not count? A few old courtiers could only secretly lament in their hearts that the young Emperor was isolated and the powerful courtiers were stealing the country.
"Li Wang, what do you want to do?" The Empress Dowager walked out from the back of the hall and coldly looked at her only son.
When Mo Jingli saw the Empress Dowager come out, his face sank. He faintly said, "The imperial harem cannot interfere with politics. Why did Imperial Mother come to the court at this time?" When the little Emperor saw the Empress Dowager, the tears that had just stopped flowed out again. He looked at the Empress Dowager and cried loudly. "Wu wu, Royal Grandmother … Grandson is afraid …" Looking at Mo Jingli's cold eyes, the Empress Dowager only felt her vision turn black. She only had Mo Jingli, this one son left. If possible, how could she not want to live in harmony with her own son? But when Mo Jingqi passed away, the two of them were too tense. In these two years, the Empress Dowager increasingly understood that in the eyes of this son, her position as Imperial Mother was not as high as his aunt, the Virtuous Old Concubine. The Empress Dowager had been high and mighty all her life. How could she tolerate the son that she had raised to take away her power and be raised in the palace to look at other people's faces? After that, Mo Jingli had the help of the Boundless Mountain and was against the Empress Dowager's people everywhere. The relationship between mother and son became more and more tense.
