Chapter 638: Refusal
more time and effort to polish it like this.""Name your price, artisan.""Five taels of silver."An Xuetang thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll pay a tael as a deposit first, and I'll...He and the emperor were not in a relationship where they could care about each other, so he didn't want to waste time with him here.
Seeing Mo Yunjing's cold attitude, the emperor also felt anger in his heart, but he understood that he needed Mo Yunjing's help more now, so he couldn't get angry at this time!
"A-Jing, your father knows that your Cloud Army is very powerful. With incidents happening in the palace from time to time, your father hopes you can send some of your Cloud Army into the palace for protection."
"... "
Mo Yunjing frowned, and Mo Yunze was also shocked beyond words, even doubting he had heard wrong!
Father actually asked Mo Yunjing to send the Cloud Army into the palace
You see, over the years, their father has been suspicious, fearing that malicious individuals might have infiltrated the palace. He was also afraid that his princes would stage a coup, just like he had experienced. Therefore, for all these years, he has never allowed his children to bring trusted confidants into the palace, not even with guards. Even their guards were required to relinquish any weapons upon entering.
But what did he hear now His father actually requested that Mo Yunjing send his Yun Family Army into the palace
What does this mean It means that he now trusts Mo Yunjing very much and is not afraid that his people might collude with the enemy and force a palace coup!
What on earth happened that caused Father's attitude to change so drastically He has always distrusted Mo Yun Jing the most, so what could have possibly happened to make him rely on Mo Yun Jing so heavily
Thinking of this, Mo Yunze felt a sense of unwillingness. His hands clenched involuntarily.
The Emperor just watched Mo Yunjing for a while, hoping he would agree to send the Yun Family Army into the palace. However, Mo Yunjing remained silent and did not immediately agree.
The emperor's face grew grim, his brows furrowing. "A-Jing, are you unwilling to speak Your father needs your help now, wouldn't you like to assist"
If an emperor had said such things in the past, he would have done so with an air of superiority, an arrogance that was impossible to refuse. But now, he could only speak softly, putting on a look of grievance.
Mo Yunze saw that he was like this, and his heart grew even angrier. He too had a father, so why didn't the Emperor look for him Why did he repeatedly ask Mo Yunjing, who was obviously unhappy with it
Thinking of this, Mo Yunze responded before Mo Yunjing could. He clasped his hands and looked earnestly at the emperor, "Father, I'm also worried about your safety. How about letting me send someone to guard outside your palace"
As soon as he spoke, the emperor slowly raised his head to look at him. After a moment of silence, he said, "I heard that your house was not peaceful last night. You were busy taking care of yourself, so where did you get the energy to worry about me"
“...”
Mo Yunze's hands tightened. The emperor's words were a clear message: everything he did was under the emperor's watchful eye.
And the emperor also knows what happened last night!
Mo Yunze's face showed a hint of embarrassment, wanting to speak and explain something, but the emperor clearly didn't want to hear him. The emperor turned his head and continued to look at Mo Yunjing:
"Ajing, what exactly are you thinking You really don't want your people to enter the palace to protect Father"
Mò Yún Jǐng's dark and deep eyes stared intently at the emperor's face. Seeing that he was serious, he narrowed his eyes slightly:
"My father's Imperial Guard has hundreds of thousands, while our Yun Family Army only has a few thousand. Why is my father so insistent on using the Yun Family Army"
When mentioning the Imperial Guard, the emperor's face darkened. He said coldly, "They are nothing but a bunch of trash!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the eunuch standing beside him. The eunuch also had a pained expression on his face and couldn't even stand straight. This was because after being knocked unconscious last night, he hadn't discovered the emperor was in danger in time. So when the emperor woke up today, he was punished.
But now that the emperor is in need of capable people, he will not rashly have his most trusted confidante killed. So this eunuch who serves him closely is lucky this time and was not executed.
The eunuch, seeing the emperor looking at him, quickly knelt on the ground and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, it was my fault yesterday that I failed to serve you properly. However, I truly didn't know how that person appeared. He came so silently and soundlessly, I didn't notice anything at all."
“After that, he looked at Mo Yunjing and pleaded with him, 'King of Beijang, this man's martial arts are truly extraordinary. He was able to infiltrate the palace without alerting any Imperial Guards. Moreover, there were hundreds of elite soldiers guarding outside the Emperor’s sleeping quarters last night, yet none of them noticed anything amiss. This shows that his skill surpasses theirs.’”
In this situation, the Emperor's position is truly perilous. Therefore, your servant implores the King of Beijiang to send some of your Yun Family Army into the palace to guard and protect the Emperor.
Mo Yunjing's eyes were deep, "This king's Yun Family Army is nothing more than this. If even the Imperial Guard can't be stopped, this king is powerless."
Mo Yunjing's words were a clear refusal, he simply didn't want his Yunjia army to enter the palace.
The emperor gritted his teeth, "Mo Yunjing, you truly refuse to help me"
He couldn't hold his anger any longer, his eyes turned cold, and he glared viciously at Mo Yunjing.
The eunuch, afraid that he might lose control and flare up, lightly coughed several times before cautiously speaking:
"Your Majesty, the servant thinks that perhaps Prince Beijang is just worried about the safety of the Yun army. After all, Your Majesty had some unpleasantness with Prince Beijang and his Yun army before."
The eunuch timely reminded, the emperor took a deep breath and calmed down. He thought of how he had once wanted to execute all of Mo Yunjing's Cloud Army, and he also thought of this layer.
"At this moment, his voice softened again, "Ajing, your father knows he has done wrong, but Your Majesty promises you, this time your people enter the palace, I will definitely not kill them. Not only that, if they can truly catch that deceptive person, I will reward them handsomely!"
Mo Yunjing's clear and cold eyebrows remained almost unchanged. He looked at the emperor indifferently for a moment, "The son cannot do it."
"!"
"Damn it!" The emperor instantly flew into a rage, slamming his fist onto the bed. "Mo Yunjing, don't push your luck! I've already shown you plenty of respect. What more do you want"
The Emperor flew into a rage. The eunuchs and Mo Yunze dared not speak. Mo Yunjing, however, was accustomed to the Emperor's temper. He stared coldly at the Emperor:
“Your Majesty, instead of asking me for someone here, wouldn't it be better to have the Dali Temple officials thoroughly investigate last night’s incident That person acted alone and managed to enter the palace. He not only found your chamber with accuracy but also knew when you would be alone. Such a person must have been watching you for some time.”
Mo Yunjing's words sent a chill down the emperor's spine. He, of course, had also thought of this layer, which is why he was so eager to have Mo Yunjing send people to protect him.
Mo Yunjing ignored the emperor's ashen face and continued, "Father, you have time to vent your anger here with your son. Why not let Dali Temple investigate the case and resolve this threat as soon as possible Of course, if Father wants my people to cooperate with Dali Temple, I won't refuse. But letting my people enter the palace is impossible!"es do we have left" Mo Junyi furrowed his brow. He had already planned to fight back to the capital and rescue his father and fifth uncle.If they were missing the explosives, they wouldn't be able to...
