Chapter 1758: Sword Pointing at the Brink

At this point, the man didn't think about continuing the riddle game. He ran around the area, seemingly searching for something. Then he said:"The King of the Northern Frontier is currently trapped in...Zhi'er knew that the emperor sent troops to Bei Jiang Wangfu, firstly to investigate whether the princess of Bei Jiang was truly pregnant.

On this point, she knew, she would explain to the Emperor later.

Moreover, the emperor's deployment of troops was also intended to apprehend Mo Junyi. As long as Mo Junyi could be captured, the withdrawal of troops would naturally follow suit. This way, the emperor would save face and avoid a direct confrontation with the Northern Border Duke's Mansion.

And at this moment, the commander of the Imperial Guards felt a pang of melancholy.

What way could he think of to get Mo Junyi into the palace

If Mo Junyi were so easily led into the palace, why would the emperor have suffered like this all these days

Yesterday, the emperor was angered by the news of Prince Bei Jiang's heir and acted impulsively by sending troops to Prince Bei Jiang's mansion.

Over all these years by the emperor's side, he had learned to understand him. When the emperor was impulsive, he was bold.

Once he calms down and starts thinking things over, he becomes hesitant and unsure of himself.

Now, bringing up the explosives in the hands of the Beijiang Royal Manor, the emperor will certainly not dare to confront the Beijiang Royal Manor head-on later.

But, he deliberately added fuel to the fire yesterday in order to instigate the emperor to send troops.

As the battles in Youlan City continue to favor their side, it won't be long before King Beijang returns to the capital.

He had received a letter from his master before, instructing him to do whatever it took to eliminate everyone in the Northern Border Prince's Mansion before Mo Yunjing returned to the capital.

Now, Concubine Chi has ordered him to withdraw his troops. If he disobeys, all these years of undercover work could be compromised.

He was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Zhi'er waited for his response, but it never came. Her eyes sharpened with intensity, "What Is the President of the Republic refusing to heed this Palace's orders Does he not even consider this Palace worthy of respect"

The president came to his senses and quickly replied, "I dare not."

"I see that you dare to do anything." Zhi'er slapped the table again and roared, then suddenly she picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at the president.

As expected, the president instinctively dodged the teacup she threw at him.

He dodged, causing Zhi'er's delicate cheeks to be contorted with a ferocious expression. The hatred in her eyes was clear, and although the corner of her mouth curved upwards, it sent a shiver down one's spine.

She was right. This president is incredibly skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

This skill level is definitely above hers.

After some probing, Zhi'er waved her hand. "Forget it, go bring Mo Junyi back first. We can talk about the rest later."

The president couldn't help but glance up at the emperor again. The emperor remained with his head bowed. Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and at this moment, he didn't continue to confront Zhi'er head-on. Instead, he clasped his hands together and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

......

After the president emerged from the palace, he immediately summoned one of his subordinates.

He now speculates that the emperor may have been controlled by that mysterious Concubine Zhi.

So, he must immediately deliver this message to his master.

It was just strange, he hadn't received any messages from anyone these days and had no idea how his master's plan was progressing.

And, whether to make a move on the emperor, the master still hasn't sent a definite message.

For these past days, he continued to lurk within the palace, utterly clueless about what he should do next.

According to the plan, the master should have already persuaded Mo Yunchen to raise his troops.

But news of Beijang Cheng's uprising never came. So he couldn't tell what was going on.

And who, pray tell, is this mysterious Chi Guifei who appeared out of thin air

Just now when she threw the teacup, he could tell she definitely had inner strength.

He must contact his master quickly and ask how he is supposed to proceed.

After instructing his subordinates on some matters, the president immediately rode his horse toward the gates of Bei Jiang Wangfu.

......

Yun Si looked at the president riding toward him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The Queen had already told them that this president was Prince Mo Yunchen's, and before Mo Yunchen left, he had mentioned the trustworthy people in the palace, and one of them was the president in front of them.

But Mo Yunchen was deceived, so whether the mastermind behind this president is really Mo Yunchen remains to be seen.

At this moment, seeing him slowly approaching, Yun remained expressionless, calmly guarding the door as always.

After he got closer, Xiang Yun bowed his hands four times, "On His Majesty's orders, I am here to announce that the Crown Prince is summoned to the palace. Please, General Xiang Yun, convey this message to the Crown Prince and make sure he doesn't accidentally defy the imperial decree."

Yun Si's deep eyes stared at him, her voice cold. "Our princess said that the prince is currently infected with wind-cold and it is not suitable to enter the palace now, lest he offend the Emperor. If he causes the Emperor to suffer as well, our Beijang王府 cannot afford this responsibility."

The president's eyes narrowed, sharpening to a dangerous glint. "But Your Majesty has said that no matter how grave the prince's illness is, he must enter the palace. Besides, there are skilled imperial physicians in the palace who I believe Your Majesty will have treat the prince. General Yun Si, please don't make things difficult for me, just bring the prince out."

What if we didn't

Yun Si looked stern, as if she had made up her mind not to hand over Mo Jun Yi.

He met the president's gaze, and both men held each other's eyes without flinching. The air crackled with tension.

Moments later, the president leader suddenly raised his hand. The soldiers behind him immediately understood and drew their swords from their waists, pointing them at Yun Si and the others.

The president's icy eyes fixed on Yun Si, "I am merely following the emperor's orders to invite the young master into the palace for a visit. After all, the emperor hasn't seen his eldest grandson in some time."

"All I desire now is to meet the young master. However, it seems that the people of Beijiang Wangfu are determined to defy the imperial decree. Are you openly trying to oppose His Majesty"

Seeing them draw their swords, his deep-set eyes narrowed slightly.

Faced with this tense atmosphere, he couldn't be sure if these people would actually dare to make a move.

But, just as they had planned the night before, today they absolutely could not confront the Imperial Guard head-on.

After all, in a real fight, they wouldn't be able to produce that much explosives to deal with this group of people.

By then, people would have guessed that the Beijang Wangfu no longer had the fearsome explosives in their hands.

Once discovered, things will become more complicated.

But the prince also said that it's impossible for our momentum to weaken after the Imperial Guard surrounds the mansion.

We need to hold out for a while and see if they'll make a move.

In short, we can't back down in the early stages. If we do, those who are watching the Beijang Palace will smell something fishy.

If they discover anything, the Bei Jiang Wangfu will still face more trouble.

So, seeing the Imperial Guards draw their swords and looking ready to fight, Yun Si raised an eyebrow and didn't back down.
