Chapter 235: Feeling Sad and Angry

"I know. That's why I have to go!" Ling Ning said angrily, refusing to give up.

Ling Shang had a severe headache: "If you go, it will represent the attitude of our Prince Pin's Mansion. By then, Prince Yuan and the Left Prime Minister will not let Prince Luo go."

"What?" Ling Ning didn't understand what Ling Shang meant. How could that be?

Ling Shang sighed, "You are now clamoring to follow Prince Luo to the northwest, just to tell Prince Yuan that we, Prince Pin, are also on Prince Luo's side. Your usual antics may be seen by everyone as a woman's pursuit of a man, but this time is different, you are going to protect Prince Luo."

"Your protection means you have tacitly agreed to take sides. By then, King Luo will become more prominent and attract more attention, which will only make King Yuan more jealous. Will King Yuan still let King Luo return from the border?!"

Ling Ning didn't know what to say, but didn't want to give up, so he could only stare at Ling Shang stubbornly.

Ling Shang knew from her expression that she would not give in easily, so he could only sigh: "Even if you want to go, you shouldn't make a fuss about going at this time."

Ling Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. Did her father mean to allow her to go?

Ling Shang's eyes lit up when he looked at Ling Ning, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This daughter really devoted herself to King Luo!

"Uncle! What on earth does father mean by this?!" Mo Yuyang had been holding a grudge for the past few days, and couldn't help but bring it up when he arrived at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xu Zhongshi glanced at Mo Yuyang indifferently and drank his tea calmly: "Be patient, don't be impatient."

"Uncle! How can I still be in the mood to drink tea at this hour?!"

Xu Zhongshi glanced at Mo Yuyang again and put down the cup in his hand: "The emperor's meaning is very clear, can't you see it?"

"What do you mean?" Mo Yuyang didn't understand.

His father had been unfriendly to him these past few days because of the He Jia matter. He really didn't understand why his father wanted to send Mo Yuchen to the northwest at this critical moment.

"Although the emperor 'exiled' Prince Luo, you and I both know that the emperor saved Prince Luo. But the emperor also made his intentions clear."

Mo Yuyang vaguely sensed something.

"The capital is more than 5,000 miles away from the northwest. If something happens to Prince Luo on the way, who do you think the emperor will blame for it?" Xu Zhongshi slowly picked up the teacup and said while blowing on it.

Mo Yuyang suddenly understood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly: "It seems that the emperor has let us fight."

"The Emperor is in his prime. Although he is letting you fight on your own now, he will not let any of you win easily. Therefore, we must be fully prepared so that we can defeat King Luo in one blow before King Wei rises."

Although Xu Zhongshi had not attended court for a long time, he guessed what Mo Cheng meant when he learned that Mo Cheng had allowed Mo Yuchen to go to the northwest.

But Xu Zhongshi was still somewhat sad. Mo Cheng obviously let the two princes fight each other just to make both sides suffer losses in order to maintain his rule. Anyone who knew about this would feel cold in their heart.

Mo Yuyang nodded. He had known about Mo Cheng's coldness since he was a child, but after so many years, he still couldn't guess what Mo Cheng was thinking.

"Don't worry about the northwest for now. It would be great if King Luo could die on the road. If he's not dead..." Xu Zhongshi dragged his words meaningfully.

"If he is not dead, then let him know what the emperor cares about most."

What else could it be? Of course it was treason!

Butler Wang has already arranged all matters for Mo Yuchen's trip to the northwest. Butler Wang and Yizhu have also prepared the rest.

"Your Highness, everything is ready." Butler Wang explained everything to Mo Yuchen in detail, then closed the account book in his hand.

Mo Yuchen nodded, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.

Steward Wang and Yi Zhu looked at each other, and Yi Zhu stood up and said, "Your Highness, do you want to take He Yuan and the other three to the northwest together? This will also protect your safety."

Mo Yuchen nodded.

Since he wanted to catch a spy, he would naturally have to take him with him. Speaking of which, Mo Yuyang must have thought of using the spy to get rid of him! If he didn't take him with him, wouldn't it be a waste of the hard work of this person lurking beside him for many years?

Seeing that Mo Yuchen's expression had not eased at all, Steward Wang and Yizhu looked at each other again. Yizhu said cautiously, "Your Highness, you are going to the northwest this time, and the queen is staying in the capital alone. Can you rest assured?"

When this was mentioned, Mo Yuchen's face turned even uglier, and he gritted his teeth and said, "...Yan Yan wants to go with us too!"

"!" What? Xia Yanxiang is going too? !

Yizhu and Butler Wang now had no idea why Mo Yuchen was unhappy.

"What? Yanyan is going too?" Concubine Su and Mo Yuanli were also very surprised. "Have the Right Prime Minister and General Pu Wei agreed?"

Mo Yuchen nodded, his expression looking very grim.

Concubine Su and Mo Yuanli looked at each other, and Mo Yuanli asked, "So, second brother, are you unhappy because of this?"

Mo Yuchen didn't answer, but his expression became noticeably more sullen, and now everyone knew about it.

"Second brother, I want to go too!" Mo Xuanxuan actually came out at this time and tried to fish in troubled waters, and also wanted to go with them, "Since Third Sister can go, can I go too?"

Mo Yuxuan's sparkling eyes were extinguished by Mo Yuchen's words: "No!"

"Why?!" If the third sister can go, why can't he? !

Although Mo Yuchen's face was grim, his words were very firm: "You stay in the capital to prevent Prince Yuan from taking action against my mother and Xiaoli."

"Isn't Shen Zhe still here?" Mo Xuanxuan said angrily, unwillingly.

Mo Yuchen glared at him and said, "Be prepared for the worst. You better stay in the capital!"

Although Concubine Su and Mo Yuanli did not say anything, they agreed with Mo Yuchen's statement.

"Mother, I am going to the northwest this time. There will be many dangers. I am not sure whether I can come back alive. Therefore, I need to explain other things clearly."

The topic suddenly became a little heavy, and the expressions of Concubine Su and the other two became serious.

It was Concubine Su who spoke first: "Yu An, don't say anything unlucky. You will definitely come back alive."

"That's right!" Mo Yuanli's eyes were slightly red, but he pretended to be relaxed. "Besides, there is still the Third Miss! If you are gone, what will the Third Miss do?"

Speaking of Xia Yanxiang, Mo Yuchen felt a little angry.

Xia Yanxiang insisted on going to the northwest this time. Mo Yuchen was either unaware of her intention or he got angry because he knew it.

Xia Yanxiang is only thinking about the Tu family and has long since put her own life at risk. She has taken risks for the Tu family time and time again. Even if Mo Yuchen understands her, he still feels distressed and angry.
