Chapter 540: The Emperor Tests Li Moqing, and the Fight Between Old 4 and Old 9 Intensifies

The news that Baili Zizhan had his teeth knocked out soon reached the emperor's ears, and at the same time, it was also reported back to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion where the funeral was being held.

Fu Qingrong was wearing plain clothes and light makeup, her face stained with tears and sadness. She was crying when someone came to report that the little emperor's grandson had his teeth knocked out!

She jumped up suddenly, her vision went dark, and she almost fell down.

Dong Daiying also followed, the vicious look on her face almost melting into water. She took Fu Qingrong with her and rushed to the palace without even changing into plain clothes.

Taiji Hall, inner study.

"The Emperor of Yunlai Kingdom wants to form an alliance through marriage?" Baili Moyin asked, his voice filled with surprise and confusion.

At this point, how could they have such an idea?

Baili Qingren was also sitting nearby. After listening to Emperor Qiwen's words, he began to suspect something. "He's worried that after Tianqi and Beidi marry, they'll turn against him, so he's worried, right?"

Emperor Qiwen reviewed the memorial with a calm and composed expression.

Baili Moyin nodded and said, "We cannot rule out this possibility. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why they frequently invade our Tianqi."

It's not like he wants to kill us!

"However, if they wanted a marriage alliance, why did they choose to invade and harass us? By doing this, aren't they afraid that we, Tianqi, will not only reject the marriage, but also, as they fear, join forces with Beidi to subjugate Yunlai?"

Emperor Qiwen raised his eyes and looked at Baili Moqing, who had been silent, and then he calmly asked, "Seventh Brother, what do you think about this?"

When Baili Moyin heard Emperor Qiwen asking Baili Moqing, his expression changed slightly.

This was the first time Baili Moqing participated in the discussion of state affairs since returning to Kyoto. He even wondered if his father was going to let the seventh prince take power again.

Baili Moqing was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Father, please forgive me. I have no opinion."

Emperor Qiwen paused as he reviewed the memorial, a look of dissatisfaction on his face. "In the past, you were the one with the most opinions. How come you can't even say a word now?"

"Do you really have no opinion, or do you have an opinion but don't want to express it?"

After hearing this, Baili Qingren knew that Emperor Qiwen was unhappy. There was some worry in his eyes. He glanced at Baili Moqing, wanting to warn him not to be so tough!

But he obviously didn't seem to want to pay any attention to him.

Baili Moqing lowered his eyes, his voice calm and self-deprecating, "Father, you are talking about your son and minister five years ago!"

"Now, I have been away from the court for several years. I no longer know the pros and cons of the relationships within the court, nor the differences in national conditions. Therefore, naturally, I cannot form any opinions."

This seemed to make sense, but Emperor Qiwen felt that it lacked sincerity. "Really?"

Even if the dignified King of Dongli was banished from the capital, his deeply rooted power and intricate network of relationships would not fall apart so easily.

Who would believe him when he said he had no idea what was going on in the court? Surely no one in the world could see things more clearly than he did?

"Father, do you think that I am hiding something?"

Baili Moqing looked up at him, his eyes calm and composed, without any fear or panic, and he looked honest.

"Seventh brother, how can you speak to our father like that?" Baili Moyin frowned, his face full of displeasure, as if he was speaking up for Emperor Qiwen.

Emperor Qiwen withdrew his gaze, but a hint of dissatisfaction did appear in his eyes.

His tone was emotionless, and he asked calmly, "Seventh Brother, are you still bothered by what happened back then?"

Baili Moqing didn't say anything, but lowered his head slightly, so that no one could see the emotion in his eyes.

"It was indeed Father who failed to investigate the matter thoroughly back then, causing you to suffer so much..."

"But now you are a first-class prince! Doesn't this kind of compensation make you feel at ease?"

After hearing this, Baili Moqing couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth into a sarcastic smile.

Relieved?

How could he let go? At least he still had his life, but what about his second brother? He didn't even have a chance to survive!

He gave him the evidence that proved his innocence, and he also gave him the witnesses who could prove his innocence, but what happened next?

After a long wait, the evidence disappeared and the witnesses died.

If he hadn't been persistent in searching for evidence over the past five years, if Shu He hadn't saved his life half a year ago and helped him defend Beisha City, he would have followed his second brother by now, right?

Let him feel relieved now?

Do you really think he is a fool?

He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Father, you worry too much."

"You are the emperor and father, and I am his subject. Your grace is as great as heaven. How can there be any grudges? And why should I worry about it?"

"Besides, you have done enough for me, I am sincerely grateful!"

Baili Moyin couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this: In the past few years, the seventh brother hasn't learned anything else, but he has learned to flatter people to the core.

Unfortunately, even if he could speak better, he could not change his destiny!

When Emperor Qiwen heard this, he couldn't express his feelings.

The seemingly sincere words always made him unable to believe them.

"emperor!!"

The slightly flustered voice of the eunuch Liu Qin came from outside the door.

Emperor Qiwen frowned and glanced at him, "What's the matter?!"

Liu Qin glanced at Baili Moqing, then at Baili Moyin, his expression grim and embarrassed.

"The little grandson was beaten..."

Baili Moyin's eyebrows raised, his eyes widened, "What did Eunuch Liu just say?!"

Liu Qin dodged his gaze, glanced at Baili Moqing again, then bent down to the emperor and repeated, "Little grandson, a tooth was knocked out..."

Emperor Qiwen also stood up in disbelief, "What? Where is Zhan'er?!"

"Your Majesty, the eunuch accompanying the young grandson is escorting him to the Taiji Palace."

"Zhan'er came to the palace?" Baili Moyin's face was full of confusion. He didn't bring the child to the palace today. How could he appear in the palace?

Liu Qin bowed his head towards Baili Moyin and said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, it is said that it was His Highness Prince Nanyu who brought the young grandson to the palace."

"Old Nine?" Baili Moyin's face darkened instantly. "Why would he bring Zhan'er to the palace without permission? And he got hurt!"

"Father, could it be that Old Nine is deliberately trying to murder Zhan'er?!"

"How dare you!" Emperor Qiwen looked very ugly and unhappy in his heart. He didn't expect that the fourth prince would say such words!

The struggle between the fourth and ninth brothers seems to be getting more and more intense!

It seems that he has to step in to mediate!

"Father, was I wrong?" Baili Moyin was so angry that his eyes turned red.

"Old Nine has always believed that the Shanghe Mansion incident was caused by my subordinates, so he has always been against me! No matter how I explain, he still doesn't believe it!"

"It's fine if he hired someone to plot against my son, but Zhan'er is only three years old! How could he have the heart to do that to such a young child?!"

"Father, do you still want to protect him?!"
