Zique was a little aggrieved this time.

"No, Mo Yunzheng, if you don't lead me to such an end like this..."

_
When Ye Xuwan woke up, she had already returned to the East Palace. She raised her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar decoration, and realized that this was the prince's bedroom.

She actually fell asleep on Mo Yunzheng's bed.

Good guy, it’s too late?

Thinking about it, Ye Xuwan hurriedly jumped off Mo Yunzheng's bed. Mo Yunzheng, who was sitting next to him reading a book, had a puzzled face.

"Little Ye Zi, why are you so crazy?"

Ye Xuwan was petrified on the spot, so broken that she forgot to check if there was anyone else in the room.

"Your Highness, this servant will stay here when he wakes up. He is afraid of dirtying His Highness's bed."

Mo Yunzheng snorted and closed the half-read book in his hand.

"Really, Xiao Zizi, this is not the first time you have slept on Gu's bed, and now you are afraid of dirtying my bed."

No, how can you speak! Do you know that there is ambiguity in what you said?

"Your Highness, how did this slave come back?"

Ye Xuwan hurriedly changed the topic, fearing that Mo Yunzheng would ask some other questions.

Mo Yunzheng stood up and approached Ye Xuwan gently: "Did you forget? You and Zique went out and were attacked by assassins."

Only then did Ye Xuwan realize that she was indeed in the woods with Zique, and then her vision went dark...

By the way, Zique!
"What about Zique! Did the assassin be caught?"

Ye Xuwan asked hurriedly.

Hearing Ye Xuwan worry so much about other men, Mo Yunzheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He frowned and his words were a bit colder.

"Are you so worried about him?"

"You are also injured and unconscious. Can you think about yourself first? What if I am not by your side?"

Ye Xuwan was stunned for two seconds, and she could clearly see the beating veins on his forehead.

No, why is he angry?
"I...isn't it true that His Highness is here?"

After thinking for a long time, Ye Xuwan finally thought of something to say that could please Mo Yunzheng.

She took a step forward and stared at Mo Yunzheng with her big eyes, which looked very sincere.

"With Your Highness here, no matter how useless I am, Your Highness will still protect me."

Mo Yunzheng's eyes moved slightly, and most of the anger just now disappeared.

"You can say nice things to me."

After saying that, Mo Yunzheng sighed and raised his eyes to signal Ye Xuwan to look at the table.

"This is all the food that Gu Cong brought to you from the imperial dining room. When you're done eating, go and rest."

Only then did Ye Xuwan notice that the sky had turned dark. It seemed that she had really slept from day to night.

There was a lot of food placed on the table. It seemed that Mo Yunzheng had really put in the effort.

"Your Highness, Concubine De is here."

Before Ye Xuwan's mouth was full, she heard Xiao Xizi complaining outside.

Seeing as it is almost Chen time, why is Concubine De coming to the East Palace so late?
Mo Yunzheng nodded and raised his chin to signal Xiao Xizi to let Concubine De in.

Ye Xuwan hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and almost choked to death.

"Your Highness, will this slave step aside first?"

With that said, Ye Xuwan raised her hand and was about to pick up a plate of pastries and leave, but was stopped by Mo Yunzheng.

"Wait."

Ye Xuwan frowned, looking at the cakes in her arms with some reluctance.

No, I can't finish it so I can take it away.

"Just stay here. I have nothing to hide from you."

Ye Xuwan was confused by what Mo Yunzheng said. No, was this really what she could hear?
"Your Highness, I'd better retreat, this slave. After all, this..." "If I say you can listen, you can listen. There is no need to refuse."

Just as she was talking, Empress De Fei walked in quietly, and she glanced at Xiao Yezi who was standing aside.

"Eunuch Xiao Yezi is still here at such a late hour. He is really loyal to his duty."

Ye Xuwan smiled awkwardly. In fact, he didn't particularly want to be here.

It had long been heard that Concubine De almost died in order to give birth to the prince, so it looked like she was really haggard.

"Empress De Fei, just say it. Are you afraid that you have something to say when you come to the East Palace so late?"

Mo Yunzheng's voice was so faint that no one could hear his tone at all.

Empress De Fei frowned slightly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still remembers what he promised to my concubine. Tomorrow the Emperor will go to court to announce the matter. I really can't worry about it. I'm afraid..."

As Concubine De said, she raised her eyes and looked at Mo Yunzheng, who had a calm expression on his face.

Mo Yunzheng chuckled: "Concubine De, don't you believe me?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised."

Sure enough, the next day, the emperor went to court and announced the matter.

"I have decided to send Xinyang to the frontier fortress for marriage in order to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries. Do you have any objections, ministers?"

"This……"

The emperor had given an order that even if the ministers in the court had any opinions, they would not dare to raise them easily. Seeing that no one was speaking, Mo Qingsong took a step forward.

"Father, I have objections."

The emperor frowned, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Oh? Tell me."

Ever since Concubine Lin was placed under house arrest, the emperor had never paid attention to Mo Qingsong. He used to love Wu Qingsong, but now there is no need.

After all, no matter what point of view, Mo Qingsong cannot compare to Mo Yunzheng.

Mo Yunzheng naturally heard the emperor's tone, but he still had to bite the bullet.

"Father, the border fortress is a barbaric land. Xinyang and his wife will definitely suffer a lot in the past. I believe that we can completely regain this barbaric land to avoid future troubles."

As soon as Mo Qingsong said these words, there was an uproar in the court.

"presumptuous!"

The emperor yelled loudly: "Song'er, as the eldest prince, why are you so emotional? The strength of the troops at the frontier is obvious to all. Even if you provoke a war, it is still the common people who will suffer in the end."

When the emperor said this, Mo Qingsong was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Father, forgive me. My son, I am also eager to make contributions."

How could the emperor not see it?

Concubine Lin used to manage the harem and was very powerful. Many of Mo Qingsong's ministers came to Concubine Lin.

Now that Concubine Lin is under house arrest and there is no one behind her, Mo Qingsong will definitely feel a sense of crisis.

The emperor sighed and motioned for Mo Qingsong to retreat.

Mo Qingsong's face was suddenly covered with fine sweat, and he could only retreat dejectedly.

"Father."

Mo Yunzheng took a step forward, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch.

"Father, this is a secret letter that my son received today. He said that it must be delivered to the father."

The emperor squinted and took the envelope from the eunuch's hand. The red mark inside made the emperor's eyes tremble.

"This is the national seal of the border fortress."

"Yes."

Mo Yunzheng whispered.

"The person who came to deliver the letter specifically told me that this was a handwritten letter from the third prince of the frontier fortress. The third prince also received the order for the marriage, but he expressed that he was unwilling to make the marriage."
