Mo Xuanchen and Yun Jinchu had guessed about the attack on the Zhennan Palace, and when Zhu Qi and Xiahou Yu, who had gone to inquire about the news after entering the city, came back, the news they brought back was almost the same as what they had speculated before.

Mulberry followed behind the two, holding an oily paper bag of red bean sugar oil cake.

Xiahou Yu carried two oily roast chickens and put them on the table, and then told Mo Xuanchen and the others the news they had inquired.

After finishing speaking, he sarcastically said: "The master guessed correctly before, then Mo Jingyue didn't plan to return to Beijing with King Hui and them at all. ”

"After King Hui and they came, Mo Jingyue respectfully accepted the order, and also brought all the people back to the palace to live, but who would have thought that the next day the palace was assassinated, and a patrol envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate died, I heard that an assassin confided that he was a person from Nanchu before he died, Mo Jingyue directly moved the garrison of Luyun Pass on this ground, and also used the excuse that King Hui was injured, and the assassin's whereabouts were unknown, and directly put King Hui and Lord Chen under house arrest in Zhennan Wangfu."

"How is King Hui injured?"

"The injury is not serious, but it can't get out of the palace. Our people spread the word that those assassins who looked fierce that day, but in fact they did not look like they were going towards King Hui and Chen Feng'an, but instead beckoned the officials who accompanied them. ”

King Hui is protected by secret guards, and it is normal that he can't be killed, but Chen Feng'an and Xun Ying have no one around them to protect him.

If those assassins really came to take people's lives, even if they couldn't kill the king of Zhennan, it stands to reason that they should have made a move against the few leaders in the court, but Chen Feng'an and Xun Ying did not have an accident, but an official accompanying him fell into bad luck, and died on the spot, not to mention that he died miserably.

Yun Jinchu sat aside when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "Of course he doesn't dare to let King Hui and Chen Feng'an have an accident." ”

King Hui is the younger brother of Emperor Jing and the prince of the royal family.

Chen Feng'an is the head of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, and the left capital of the second grade of the court.

Although Xun Ying's official position is slightly lower, the Lang family is a hairpin family, and his uncle and grandfather are the second assistants of the court, and their official reputation is prominent.

No matter which of these three people dies, it is impossible for Daye's side to give up.

What Mo Jingyue wanted was only to mobilize the Luyunguan garrison to threaten Emperor Jing on the grounds of provocation in Southern Chu, but he didn't want to provoke a war.

Nanchu's side is not easy to get along with, and Mo Jingyue has secretly communicated with them over the years.

If there is a war on this, Nan Chu will not bear the notoriety and fight back, and Mo Jingyue's relationship with their "alliance" will break down, and what he has done over the years will be exposed to the world, but if he is unwilling to fight, the prince and the important ministers of Daye will lose face, and he will also fall into a disadvantageous situation himself, and Emperor Jing can also be blamed for it.

Yun Jinchu raised his eyes and looked at Mo Xuanchen: "Right now, Mo Jingyue has taken the excuse, the Luyunguan garrison has moved, if he uses this as an excuse to stay in Shuokang, can you still have a way to force him to enter Beijing?" ”

Mo Xuanchen's expression was cold: "Luyun Pass is not the only one who guards him. ”

Yun Jinchu frowned: "You are going to see those people left by Old Prince Mo?" ”

Mo Xuanchen said "um".

"Isn't it too risky?"

Yun Jinchu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, "You originally wanted King Hui to take the lead for you and test those people's minds first, but as soon as he came, he was placed under house arrest by Mo Jingyue for assassination, and I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to contact those people at all." ”

"Mo Jingyue has taken over the Zhennan Wangfu for many years, and you have not been in Shuokang for a long time, those people may not be as loyal to the Mo family's bloodline as before, you rashly went to meet, how do you know that they have no second heart, in case someone secretly changes his course and betrays the old master, so that Mo Jingyue knows that you have returned to Shuokang, he will do whatever it takes to keep you here......"

Their southward journey was a secret, and in the eyes of outsiders, Mo Xuanchen was still in Dingzhou for disaster relief.

Even if Mo Jingyue sent someone to kill them, he didn't have to bear any responsibility, and he could still make Mo Xuanchen die silently, he would not let go of this opportunity.

Seeing Yun Jinchu's worried, Mo Xuanchen's expression softened and said to her, "I know what you're worried about, I won't put my life in the hands of others." ”

"Although I have been in the capital all these years, there have always been spies left in the south, although some of the people left by my grandfather were bought by Mo Jingyue, but some of them have never recognized him as the master, and they have always secretly exchanged letters with me, passing the news from the southern army to me."

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be so clear about the South."

Yun Jinchu's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

Mo Xuanchen chuckled: "Do you want to say that these people are not necessarily loyal to me if they don't take refuge in Mo Jingyue?" ”

"I know, I'm not so naïve, and I don't think that the legacy left by my grandfather can always deter them, some of them may miss the old feelings, but many of them have their own thoughts, and all these years of dealing with me are just to use my son to fight against Mo Jingyue and control the military power of the Mo family's army."

Yun Jin first saw that he knew in his heart, so he relaxed: "It's good that you understand, I'm afraid that your sudden appearance will make them think that you want to take the benefits from their hands and make them murderous." ”

She pursed her lips and whispered,

"They may have been loyal people, but people's hearts are fickle, and the desire for power can blindfold people, although you have already arranged it, but some things still have to be careful, don't trust too much in those people left by the old prince Mo."

"They were loyal to your grandfather, but not necessarily to you."

Mo Jiajun may not still be surnamed Mo now.

Mo Xuanchen sat beside Yun Jinchu and could clearly see the worry in her eyes.

The girl softly reminded him to be careful of the crisis, but as if she was afraid that he would be disappointed and embarrassed after seeing through people's hearts, there was a trace of unbearability in her tone.

Mo Xuanchen always knew that Yun Jinchu seemed to be close but was actually cold and cold, whether his eyes were happy or angry, he always remained sober and rational, and there was an unapproachable alienation between his words and deeds, but at this time, her eyes were full of his reflection, and he was the only one in her eyes.

Indifference was covered in softness, and that trace of worry washed away Su Ri's alienation, making him feel as if he had touched the real her for the first time.

Mo Xuanchen wanted to take the person into his arms, and he did the same.

Yun Jinchu was caught off guard and was stunned on his shoulder for a moment: "What are you doing?" ”

"Ah Jin, are you worried about me?"

Yun Jinchu's face stiffened, and before she could think of the wording to say that she was just afraid that he would be calculated and affect herself and the Song family, the man holding her suddenly lowered his head and rubbed her neck,

"You're going to worry about me, I'm happy."

If you are worried, it means that you care, and if you take care of his feelings, it means that you have him in your heart.

Even if it only took up a little bit of care, it was enough to make Mo Xuanchen ecstatic.

It was as if the clam shell, which had been tightly closed, had finally pried open a crack and touched the softness in her heart, and all the previous care was rewarded.
