Chapter 2035: Is There Time?

all, she had two children in her belly. She couldn't be impulsive and certainly couldn't confront this madman head-on.Bai Feng looked at her, then after a moment, suddenly reached out his hand as if w...Most importantly, none of them realize if the mastermind behind this will just stop after killing Second Prince Mo Yunren. Will they just let Mo Yunren's wife and children go

If the mastermind behind this doesn't stop there and continues to target the wives and children in Mo Yunren's household, then these officials will lose their chance completely.

After all, they had sided with Mo Yunren long ago.

Although it's not openly stated, everyone in the officialdom knows that these people are all masters of manipulation. This has been common knowledge for years.

Therefore, whether it's Mo Yunze or any other prince who ascends the throne in the future, they will never tolerate them.

Not only that, but in order to help Mo Yunren gain a foothold, they secretly did a lot of things behind the scenes to other princes' people.

Let alone outsiders, even the other generals wanted North Border King to die on the battlefield.

It wasn't just that the Mo Yun Ren Pai sent people to the Northern Border.

Over the years, these officials have not only denounced King Beijiang in court but also sent assassins from their own household to North Border, attempting to assassinate him.

If these things were to be found out by the King of Beijng, this group of people would have no way out, let alone any hope of rejoining the King of Beijng's camp.

So when these officials heard the news of Mo Yunren's death, they were completely thrown into disarray.

One by one, their faces were grim, and they were on edge.

Their minds clouded, they hastily gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Unbeknownst to them, their actions had long been anticipated by Mo Yunze.

It never succeeds every time.

He couldn't figure out who killed Mo Yunren

Mò Yúnzé hadn't figured out who took Mò Yúnrén's life, but no matter what, Mò Yúnrén's death was a good thing for him.

He was delighted with the outcome.

After the brief excitement subsided, he thought of the officials who had once stood with Mo Yunren.

Their master, to whom they were loyal, is dead. This band of people cannot just sit idly by; they will definitely find a way to get together and discuss countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Mo Yunze sent someone to stake out after receiving the news. Unexpectedly, he really caught them.

In a secluded teahouse somewhere in the capital, at least a dozen officials from Mo Yunren's faction were gathered in a private room.

Every face bore a look of gloom; after all, with the death of Mo Yunren, their years of effort amounted to nothing.

After everyone sat down in the private room, there was an awkward silence.

The highest-ranking official in this private room is Wu Suo, the commander of the left wing front camp, a military official of the second rank.

So, before Wu Suo spoke, no one else could say anything. After a while of silence, they all looked at Wu Suo unanimously.

Wu Suo also knows what everyone is waiting for.

But what could he say in this situation

Over the past decade or so, they have all worked tirelessly to help Mo Yunren ascend to the position of Crown Prince. No need for him to speak, everyone knows in their hearts just how much effort they've put in.

With Mo Yunren's death, their over ten years of effort was almost in vain.

To say that I'm not heartbroken, not regretful, and not angry would be a lie!

But the most important thing right now is to find a way to protect ourselves.

They have stood by Mo Yunren for quite some time. The officials in the court are not fools either; they probably already guessed who their chosen future emperor is.

Now that their master is overthrown and dead, they are without a lord.

Those represented by Mo Yunze certainly won't let them off the hook.

Even if they can't be wiped out now, when Mo Yunze truly ascends the throne one day, he won't spare them.

Therefore, the top priority is to find a way to protect ourselves.

As for this matter, Wu Suo has been thinking about it for several hours now. Sitting here, he still has no clue.

Seeing everyone waiting for his response, Wu Su rubbed his face with a sullen expression. After a moment of silence, he still said coldly, “The most urgent thing is to find a way to sever ties with the Second Prince.”

After Wu Suo finished speaking, another official immediately chimed in, “But General Wu, we have been following His Highness for more than ten years, especially Sir. You have been with His Highness for fifteen years. Although no one has explicitly said it on the court, everyone knows.”

"Who doesn't know that Lord Wu is loyal to the Second Prince Now that the Second Prince is dead, we can immediately distance ourselves from him. If it gets out, no one will believe us anyway."

"That's right," the other person chimed in eagerly, "While we conduct our allegiances privately, those cunning old officials on the court aren't fools. They all know who supports whom and who is loyal to which master. Everyone has their hearts laid bare. How could we possibly distance ourselves from this"

The urgency in the voices of these two officials clearly showed how afraid and flustered they were about this matter.

After all, the Prince they were loyal to has died, there is no turning back from this.

If a solution is not found quickly, Prince Mo Yunze and his forces will be unlikely to show mercy and let them off the hook.

Wu Suo's face darkened. After they finished speaking, his icy eyes swept across the two of them, and he let out a cold snort:

"If I had already thought of a solution, why would I waste your time and energy here Isn't this because everyone wants to figure out how to solve this problem"

"If everyone doesn't work together to find solutions, what's the point of just worrying"

And the news of the Second Prince's demise, the Fourth Prince and those ministers behind him must have received it as well. If they want to take advantage of this situation to eliminate us all at once, they will certainly have people keep an eye on everyone present here. Once they discover...

Wu Sha said and said, suddenly stopped, do not know he thought of what exactly, only to see him eyes widened suddenly, showing a look of astonishment, swept across the faces of several officials.

Not only did he show such a frightened expression, but other officials also instantly reacted.

After they came to their senses, they immediately scrambled to their feet.

One by one, their bodies stiffened. Even the older officials trembled with their hands shaking.

The oldest minister of Rites among them, his eyes wide with terror, stared intently at Wu Sha's face. His voice trembled slightly, "Wu...Wu sir, what shall we do now We have been gathered here for nearly an hour, I am afraid the news has already reached the Fourth Prince's ears."

"Then...then the Fourth Prince is truly as Mr. Wu anticipated, wanting to take this opportunity to eliminate us all and bring down the officials loyal to the Second Prince. Then... then should we leave now Is it still possible" we must go all out to run outside, after today staying here will only be a dead end."Right now, tigers, leopards, and bears have all been lured here by his mother’s people. They are sure to turn the...
