Chapter 688 All are Mice

practically recounting everything that had transpired in the Beijang camp these past few days to An Xue Tang.When she heard that Beijiang had fallen into the hands of Crown Prince Moyunchen, An Xuetan...Is he back

Listening to the emperor's words, Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly. Who exactly had returned Who could have made his usually arrogant and proud father so fearful

The emperor's words not only raised suspicion in Mo Yunjing's heart, but also left Mo Yunze, who was present at the same time, puzzled. Mo Yunze stared meaningfully at the emperor on the bed. To be honest, he had never seen his father king show such an expression before.

The Emperor was still very agitated, his whole body trembling. The imperial physicians in the room wanted to approach him, but the Emperor now had a sword by his side. If anyone came near him, he would pick up the sword and slash wildly, so no one dared to get close to the bedside.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes were fixed on Mo Yunjing, with a look of utter reliance. This expression only fueled Mo Yunze's jealousy towards Mo Yunjing; he thought to himself that if it weren't for Mo Yunjing, his father would have relied solely on him.

Thinking this way, Mo Yunze's hands clenched slightly. His eyes, filled with hatred, swept over Mo Yunjing for a moment. However, to avoid being noticed, he quickly returned to normal.

At this moment, everyone in the room was focused on the emperor, so no one noticed his little thoughts.

Although Mo Yunjing sensed the killing intent, he was no stranger to such things. At the moment, he treated Mo Yunze just like before, not taking him seriously at all.

At this moment, Mo Yunjing took step by step towards the bedside. Seeing Mo Yunjing's actions, everyone present held their breath and stared at him intently.

Fearing the emperor might draw his sword from its stand and attack him.

However, when the emperor saw Mo Yunjing approaching him, his trembling body gradually subsided.

"Ajing, save...save me."

Mo Yun's deep eyes stared at him, "Father King, who exactly has returned"

He, it's him, it's him, it's him, he's back.

"..." Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The emperor at this moment seemed like a person who was out of their mind, speaking in ways that were confusing and unintelligible.

Seeing the emperor's state, Mo Yunjing fell silent for a moment before turning to the eunuch and imperial physician beside him, "You two, go out first."

The eunuchs around the emperor always obeyed the emperor's orders, especially when the emperor was present. So he subconsciously looked at the emperor, wanting to know if the emperor would let him go out.

But the emperor was completely ignoring him at this moment. Mo Yunjing frowned and said in a cold voice, "Don't you leave"

Perhaps Mo Yunze also felt that these eunuchs and imperial physicians were of little use at this time, so after Mo Yunjing spoke, he also opened his mouth, "Get out, what are you all standing around for"

Both princes had spoken, and the emperor's personal eunuch and these imperial physicians naturally didn't dare to disobey. They hurriedly bowed and retreated.

After the eunuch closed the door, Mo Yunze looked at Mo Yunjing and asked, "Fifth brother, what's going on with Father Who is the person he mentioned"

Mo Yunjing slightly tilted her head and glanced at him, "Fourth Brother, how did you see that I would know"

Mo Yunze was speechless, he twitched his lips and wanted to say something more when Mo Yunjing had already stopped paying attention to him.

"I see Mo Yunjing slowly walked to the emperor's side, his eyes vacant, and looked down at the emperor with a condescending air. "Who is this 'he' you speak of"

After posing the question, Mo Yunjing didn't rush for the emperor's answer. He simply stared at the emperor silently.

Mo Yunze was also staring at the emperor. The palace was silent.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor’s vacant eyes gradually regained focus.

The emperor looked at Mo Yunjing, then at Mo Yunze, and his first words were, “Aze, you go out first.”

“...”

Mo Yunze was taken aback. He subconsciously wanted to retort, but when he met the emperor's sharp and icy gaze, he ultimately relented. After responding with a "yes," he turned and left.

Before leaving, he gave Mo Yunjing a meaningful look. The malice in his eyes was something he didn't even bother to hide.

After Mo Yunze left, the Emperor controlled his trembling body. Seeing the bed, he almost couldn't help but feel sick. The image of rats all over his bed flashed in his mind, and he shuddered involuntarily. He couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly got up from the bed.

His jump off the bed was so comical, Mo Yunjing merely narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't say anything.

Seeing the emperor standing there barefoot, his whole body stiff, Mo Yunjing couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Would you like to wear some shoes"

Hearing Mo Yunjing's voice at this moment, the Emperor was like finding a life-saving straw. He suddenly pounced in front of Mo Yunjing, grabbed his shoulder tightly, and looked at him with a slightly pleading gaze:

"A-Jing, you are my son. Will you help me, right If I am in danger, will you help me, right"

At this time, the emperor's voice was so soft, and his eyes were devoid of any resentment.

Such a scene was what Mo Yunjing yearned for every day before the age of ten. Before he was ten, he craved the emperor's attention and care, and even expected his so-called father king to pat him on the shoulder and speak to him kindly.

It's a pity that over the past twenty years, all he desired has been nothing more than his fantasies.

At this moment, listening to the emperor's words, looking at his expression, and feeling the warmth from his palm, he didn't have much of a feeling.

He just hadn't expected that his former longing would become reality at this time. Looking at the emperor like this, he didn't feel the happiness he had once imagined.

He is now at peace, but the emperor's actions have caused him a slight sense of discomfort.

After a moment of silence, Mo Yunjing took the emperor's hand away and said calmly, "What happened last night"

The emperor clenched his fists, sighed, and turned to sit down in a chair beside him. "A-Jing, do you know why I specifically keep that group of eunuchs around to watch the mice"

"Aren't you disgusted by mice"

The Emperor let out a chuckle. “Disgusting Yes, truly disgusting. Just thinking about that wretched rat makes me almost lose control and vomit. But do you know why”

Moyu Jing's dark and deep eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to the emperor. It seemed that the emperor wanted to tell him the hidden truth

Mò Yún Jǐng just stared at the emperor, not uttering a word or asking anything. He simply watched him, waiting for him to explain himself.

The Emperor, seeing Mo Yunjing's nonchalant attitude, shook his head slightly and spoke up to explain himself.

"When I was still a prince, I almost died because of mice. That person locked me in that secret room, forcing me to spend day and night with mice. They didn't give me any food or water, so I could only drink mouse blood and eat their raw flesh. Can you imagine the scene of me eating hairy mouse meat while facing off against a horde of mice" meaning, he stared intently at him with deep and serious eyes, implying something else, "Don't forget what you carry on your shoulders."A vendetta unavenged, to die at the hands of a woman like this…...
