Chapter Eighty-Three: Together
Mowang's Mansion
"Lord Wang, you are finally back. As soon as Mo Lin entered the gate of the Mo Palace, the housekeeper Chen Bo greeted him with a happy face.
"Why, is there any happy event? You're so happy. Mo Lin asked casually.
Uncle Chen said mysteriously: "Lord Wang, the prince is back, and he is still with Miss Mu." ”
Mo Lin was pleasantly surprised: "You said that Jue'er and the little girl are back?"
Can't wait to go back to the room to change clothes, Mo Lin strode in the direction of Qingfeng Temple.
You ask him why he didn't go to Moju's yard?
With Mu Liyue here, how could Mo Jue be in his own yard.
Sure enough, as soon as Mo Lin entered Qingfeng Courtyard, he saw Mo Jue and Mu Liyue talking in the courtyard, and he said loudly: "Stinky boy, little girl, if you want to come back, you won't say a word in advance." ”
Mo Jue and Mu Liyue shouted at the same time, "Father-in-law." ”
Mo Lin waved his hand, "Why did you come back suddenly?
Mo Jue replied, "Well, Dongfang really invited us to Dongfang Ning's birthday banquet. ”
Mo Lin frowned, thinking of what Dongfang Zhen said to him in the imperial study, he always felt that this birthday banquet was not simple.
Seeing that Mo Lin's expression was a little wrong, Mu Liyue opened her mouth and asked, "Father-in-law, has something happened?"
Mo Lin thought for a while, and still told the two of them that Dongfang really wanted to marry Dongfang Ning and Mo Jue, "I don't know why the emperor is very persistent in giving you and the third princess a marriage this time." ”
Mo Jue said: "He is for the Ninefold Sect. ”
Mo Lin's mind turned, and he immediately realized: "So that's the case." ”
Mu Liyue was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Mo Lin explained: "The emperor's purpose in giving the third princess to Mo Jue is for the sake of the Nine Sects, and it should be that the three princesses told the emperor that Mo Jue is the sect leader of the Nine Sects. ”
After listening to Mo Jue's explanation, Mu Liyue finally understood what Mo Jue meant when he said that he didn't need to care about Dongfang Ning's life-saving grace, it turned out that it was a drama at all.
Three years ago, Dongfang Ning inadvertently saved a disciple of the Ninefold Sect, and learned from that disciple's mouth that Mo Jue was the sect master of the Ninefold Sect, and it just so happened that she had liked Mo Jue for many years, but she had never been able to get close to him.
Therefore, after she found out Mo Jue's whereabouts from that disciple's mouth, she deliberately arranged for someone to pretend to assassinate Mo Jue, and then staged a scene of a beautiful woman saving the hero, but unfortunately Mo Jue soon saw the flaw, but he didn't break it.
Dongfang Ning originally asked to stay in the Ninefold Sect and promised not to tell anyone about it, but now it seems that she told Dongfang Zhen that Mo Jue is the sect master of the Ninefold Sect.
"Now that Dongfang really knows, and you refuse his marriage offer, will he make trouble for you?" Mo Lin asked with some concern, he had long known about Mo Jue's creation of the Nine Fold Sect.
Mo Jue shook his head: "No, he will only win over if he knows, after all, if the matter of being the sect master of the Ninefold Sect spreads, in the eyes of outsiders, it is also closely related to the Eastern Empire, and he will not cut himself off." ”
"You're right, now I'm afraid that he will directly marry you and the third princess, and use the means of marriage to bind the Nine Sects. Mo Lin glanced at Mu Liyue with some concern.
Mu Liyue didn't think that Dongfang would really give marriage directly, otherwise he wouldn't just summon Mo Lin into the palace to talk about it.
After all, Mo Lin is the god of war of the Eastern Empire, in charge of one-third of the military power, and Mo Jue is the suzerain of the Nine Sects, but as long as he doesn't draw his brain, he won't directly tear his face with the Mo Wangfu.
However, it was difficult to guarantee that the emperor was suspicious and suspected that the Mo Wangfu had a rebellious heart, so the Mowang Mansion might also be in danger, so she expressed her worries.
"What the little girl said makes sense, in the past two years, the emperor has long been tempting about our Mowang Mansion, but it doesn't matter, I have the military power in my hands, and he will not do it in the open for a while. "Mo Lin wasn't worried that Dongfang would really deal with Mo Wangfu directly, but he was worried that he would deal with Mu Liyue behind his back.
However, the discussion can't lead to any results now, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the three of them put aside the matter of Dongfang Zhen's marriage and began to talk about what happened during this time.
In a blink of an eye, on the day of Dongfang Ning's birthday, this birthday banquet was held in the palace, which shows the emperor's love for Dongfang Ning, the princess.
Because it was the princess's birthday, only the young ladies of each family were invited to the banquet, so Mo Lin did not participate in the banquet, only Mu Liyue and Mo Jue set off together to the palace where the birthday banquet was held.
Mo Jue and Mu Liyue had just entered the banquet hall.
"Brother Jue, Senior Sister Mu, you are here. Dongfang Ning was dressed in a pink palace dress and greeted him with a smile: "I'm waiting for you." ”
After speaking, he reached out and grabbed Mu Liyue's arm, as if the two of them were sisters.
"Brother Jue, you come with me. She pulled Mu Liyue towards the crowd.
"Third princess, where is this beautiful young lady?" a gentleman spoke, his eyes glued to Mu Liyue's body, and his eyes couldn't hide his interest.
