Mo Jingli originally still had questions to ask. Even if he finished, he didn't plan on leaving Li shi alive. But he had always respected the Virtuous Consort and didn't want to go against her wishes, so he nodded and let people take Li shi out.
Only the Empress Dowager, Mo Jingli, and the Virtuous Consort were left in the study. The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Meimei, what do you mean?" The Virtuous Consort sighed faintly and said, "This matter can't be blamed on Li shi. She was just a low-ranking consort with a palace maid background. The child was taken away by the late Emperor himself. Even if she knew that the child wasn't the original one, how could she dare to say it? If she said it, not only would the child be gone, she would also lose her life. "
The Virtuous Consort's words were very calm, but for some reason, the Empress Dowager felt that there was a hidden meaning in her words. A strange expression flashed across her face. Turning her head to look at Mo Jingli, she sneered and said, "Since it's like this, Li Wang must know the Emperor's identity. What does Li Wang want to do now?" Staring at Mo Jingli, the Empress Dowager's heart suddenly felt a strange pleasure. Of course, she knew what Mo Jingli wanted to do. But even though she could barely protect herself now, she had no power to interfere with Mo Jingli's decision. But now … if Mo Jingli became Mo Su Yun's son, she wanted to know what decision her son would make.
Mo Jingli said indifferently, "This matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, please return to the palace to rest."
"You!" The Empress Dowager couldn't help but be furious. But facing the Virtuous Consort's indifferent smile, she didn't know why she swallowed her anger. Snorting, she turned and left the study.
"Li 'er …" In the study, the Virtuous Consort looked at the ugly expression on Mo Jingli's face and called out softly, "This matter is Mufei's fault. It's fine … I'll have the Taiyi treat the Emperor. There is still hope. In the end, the Emperor is your only son. "
Mo Jingli was silent for a long time and said, "This has nothing to do with Mufei. Mufei is thinking for Erchen. Let Erchen think about it. "Xian Zhao Old Concubine nodded and stood up:" Then Mufei will go back first, don't think too much. His Majesty will be fine … "
"Mother, take care."
Old Consort Xian Zhao turned and walked out. When she reached the door, she looked back at Mo Jingli, who was sitting behind the desk with his head down and thinking about something. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, which still retained her charm.
In the small courtyard where Ye Ying was temporarily staying, Ye Ying sat alone in the room in a daze. Her beautiful eyes were red and swollen from her tears, and her pale and haggard face no longer had the graceful bearing of the number one beauty of the Chu capital.
All of a sudden, the door was kicked open from the outside with a bang. Ye Ying raised her head to look at the door in a daze. Mo Jingli stood at the door and stared at the woman inside with a cold aura. However, Ye Ying could not see the expression on his face clearly because of the light. Seeing Mo Jingli, Ye Ying seemed to come back to her senses. She hurriedly jumped down from the bed and threw herself in front of Mo Jingli, crying: "Prince, child … my child … I beg you to save Suyun."
Seeing Ye Ying's disheveled appearance, Mo Jingli's eyes flashed with a trace of disgust. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the room and threw her to the ground. He stared at Ye Ying condescendingly and said: "Ye Ying, who told you Mo Suyun's identity?"
Ye Ying bit her lips and refused to speak. Mo Jingli was furious and pulled her up from the ground. "Still not speaking?!" Mo Jingli would never believe that Ye Ying found out by herself. Ye Ying had never seen that child, so how would she know whether Mo Suyun was that child or not? Naturally, it was someone else who told her. This also meant that someone else knew Mo Suyun's true identity, or even … this could be a trap. A person with ulterior motives used the news of his son's disappearance to set up a flawless trap.
"You think … I can't take care of you if you don't speak?" Seeing Ye Ying's stubborn appearance, Mo Jingli did not have the slightest bit of pity in his heart. Leaning close to Ye Ying's ear, Mo Jingli whispered: "Ye Ying, do you believe that I can let I kill Mo Suyun right now?"
"Bastard!" Ye Ying finally could not help but change her expression. She glared fiercely at Mo Jingli and scolded angrily, "He's your biological son!" At the same time, she reached out to grab Mo Jingli's face. Mo Jingli raised his hand and easily suppressed her, "Are you going to speak or not?"
Ye Ying gritted her teeth and said: "Mo Jingli, Suyun is also your son." Mo Jingli stared at her, suddenly laughed, and said faintly: "If I want a son, I will naturally have one. Moreover … even if I save Mo Suyun, he will be a sickly person in the future. "Mo Jingli said this deliberately to scare Ye Ying. But the moment the words left his mouth, he suddenly had a feeling of realization. That's right, he will have a son in the future. Although none of the women in the residence had spread the news yet, the imperial physician also said that it was because he had been poisoned for too long and needed to be recuperated. However, the poison in his body had truly been cured. As long as he was given time, he will naturally have another child. There was no need to look after such a weak, incompetent, and sickly son and bring trouble upon himself.
In addition, Mo Jingli really did not treat Mo Suyun well these few years. So, ever since he confirmed in his heart that Mo Suyun was his missing son. Mo Jingli could not help but feel a trace of guilt and discomfort in his heart. But more than that, it was a kind of anger from being played by Mo Jingqi before his death. So in his heart, he was not very willing to see his son who had been recovered. And Mo Suyun's identity was really not easy to deal with. It was troublesome whether he acknowledged it or not. Of course, Mo Jingli was even more unwilling to let Mo Suyun continue to stay on the throne. Although with Mo Suyun, he could be considered as a retired emperor. But how could the title of retired emperor be better than emperor?
Ye Ying looked at Mo Jingli in shock. She originally thought that Mo Jingli was just unwilling to believe her words. She did not expect Mo Jingli to say such heartless words. But she quickly understood. She only had Mo Suyun as a son, but Mo Jingli could have more sons from other people. Now … Mo Suyun's existence was simply blocking Mo Jingli's path!
"Speak, or not?" Mo Jingli asked leisurely.
"I'll speak …" Ye Ying closed her eyes in despair and said painfully. Sparkling tears fell from the corners of her eyes, but it did not arouse the slightest pity from the man in front of her. Ye Li said in a trembling voice, "It was the people from the Prince Ding Mansion who told me."
"What did you say?!" Mo Jingli said sternly. Now that the Da Chu State had formed an alliance with the Xiling Northern Tribes, it could be considered as officially opposing the Prince Ding Mansion. So Mo Jingli was even more sensitive to the news of the Prince Ding Mansion. Once he heard Ye Ying say that the Prince Ding Mansion was involved in this matter, how could he not be angry?
Since she had already said it, Ye Ying no longer had any scruples. She gritted her teeth and said, "I said that the Prince Ding Mansion told me Suyun's identity."
"Bitch!" Mo Jingli slapped Ye Ying's face hard. "You actually dared to collude with the Prince Ding Mansion behind I's back. How dare you!" Ye Ying said with tears in her eyes, "I just want to find my son. What's wrong with that? As long as the Prince Ding Mansion can help me find my son, why can't I help them? " Mo Jingli leaned over and pulled Ye Ying up. "Tell me, what news did you tell the Prince Ding Mansion? Who do you usually contact? How do you pass the news? "
