Mo Yichen dared to accept the emperor's words right after he finished asking himself. He didn't even give the Noble Consort Yue the time to react or speak.
The Emperor did not expect his son to say such words. He was so angry that he smashed everything on the study table into pieces.
"Why did I give birth to such a vile child?" You actually wanted to break the alliance between the two nations for the sake of a level one selfishness. We ask you, if this marriage failed and our North Di Kingdom attacks our Xia Kingdom, will you be able to bear all the consequences? "
"Yes sir!" Mo Yichen's calm and collected face watched the emperor return with determination in his eyes.
When Noble Consort Yue heard this, he suddenly stood up and quickly went up to stop Mo Yichen from speaking. However, she heard the Emperor coldly snort, "I really want to hear what more he has to say."
Noble Consort Yue was a little scared. Even though he was extremely dissatisfied and unwilling with the Emperor's way of doing things, if the marriage truly failed and the North Di Kingdom invaded, wouldn't his son be a sinner for thousands of years? It was because one was selfish, because a couple did not care about their people. A prince like this, even if they did not say anything, the people would not let him live in this world.
"Your Majesty .."
"Shut up!"
Just as Noble Consort Yue said those two words, she was stopped by the emperor, who wanted to say something.
Mo Yichen snorted coldly, looking at the emperor with eyes like a cheetah as he said.
"Royal Father didn't even ask me who my fiancee is? Aren't you curious about the identity of the woman I fancy?
I will now tell you who my fiancée is.
This son's future main wife will be the direct descendant of the Prince Li Palace, Miss Sun. She will be my main wife alone, and this son will never have another woman by his side in his life.
If you, Royal Father, think that the direct descendant of the Prince Li Palace is not worthy of this son, then this son of yours can forget about his current identity and stay together with the person he loves, forever falling into the world of mortals. "
After Mo Yichen finished speaking, he did not even look at the Emperor's shocked expression and turned to leave.
And what he had just said was not only shocking, the Emperor had also shocked the Noble Consort Yue.
What did he just say? The direct descendant of the Prince Li Palace, Miss Sun? Since when did the Prince Li Palace have a direct descendant, Miss Sun? What was going on?
She remembered that her son had told her that this girl was from the countryside. She was an ordinary peasant girl, how could she become the granddaughter of the lofty Prince Li? Was there some unforeseen event?
Wasn't this change in status a bit too scary? If that girl was really the direct descendant of the Prince Li Palace, she wouldn't have let the Emperor give her the position of secondary wife. With her noble status, even the identity as the main wife of the Duke of Chen was definitely worthy of her.
Not to mention the Noble Consort Yue, even the emperor was shocked by Mo Yichen's words. He also didn't understand since when did the Prince Li Palace have a granddaughter who is related to the direct descendant?
If there really was a descendant of a bloodline in the Prince Li Palace, then why was it that no one knew the identity of the bloodline in the Prince Li Palace after so many years, nor had anyone ever seen it before? The child said that the old man Li Yuan had actually hidden his own bloodline? Was it to be afraid of being suppressed?
And the emperor also knew, if he knew that the Prince Li Palace had the blood of the direct relatives, he would definitely not let them live peacefully like this for so many years.
Furthermore, the emperor had also thought of another terrifying thing, and that was if that brat took a liking to that woman and considered her the direct descendant of the Prince Li Palace, then he would have two-thirds of the military power in his hands. His authority was already greater than his, the emperor's, so what would happen to him?
"Damn it, how did this happen? Noble Consort Yue, you don't even know anything about that brat? How did you become a mufei? "From now on, scram back to your sleeping quarters. Without my permission, you are not allowed to take even a single step outside. Otherwise, you will be sent to the Cold Palace to reflect on your actions."
"Yes, chenqie obeys." Noble Consort Yue didn't dare to refute the Emperor's words in the slightest, because he suddenly thought back to what the consequences would be if her own son were to say those words.
He also knew that if an emperor were to be ruthless, some things would become irreversible.
However, he knew that from today onwards, his marriage with the North Di Kingdom would not succeed, because if the matter was true, then when he was engaged to be married off, he would have enough chips to overturn the current emperor. Thus, he knew that this emperor, for the power that he currently held, would definitely not easily allow him to get married again.
The matter of Noble Consort Yue being confined in her chambers soon spread to the Empress's ears.
"This is great! That slut, how could she have never thought she would have such a day?" Hmph, relying on the fact that she has been doted on by the Emperor for so many years, she has become increasingly disrespectful of me, this Middle Palace.
The empress had been suppressed rather miserably by the Noble Consort Yue all these years, because as long as they were there, the emperor hardly ever came to her place.
Even after sending a few beauties to the emperor's chambers, they were only rewarded with a few well-behaved words of wisdom and something that was better than nothing.
What the empress wanted was genuine love from the emperor. After all, in this palace, it could be said that she was the only one who truly loved the emperor.
This was because her heart had already fallen after she saw the emperor when she was young.
That was why she was willing to guard the harem for so many years. The only reason was because she wanted to see the emperor when he was free.
Love is humble, who said who lived first, in fact, who lost.
Actually, the empress also knew that the reason the emperor had married her was because her family's influence could help him quickly ascend to the throne of the emperor.
It could be said that it was useless for her. Being able to let her stay in the Middle Palace until the end could be considered as a special treatment for her. As for the love she had always been hoping for, it was even better.
After that, when the Noble Consort Yue entered the palace, she stole everything she ever dreamed of, so this hatred was transferred directly to the Noble Consort Yue. Now that she heard that the Noble Consort Yue was grounded, how could she not be happy?
"Esteemed Empress, there's still news from the imperial study saying that the reason for Noble Consort Yue's confinement this time round is actually because of King Chen." The court lady beside the empress reported to the empress in a bowing and kneeling manner.
What could possibly happen to Mo Yichen?
The empress frowned at Xiang'er. "If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. Don't stammer."
Xiang'er nodded. "The person in front came back to say that His Highness Duke of Chen had a fiancee, and that woman was the direct descendant of the Prince Li's family, Miss Sun. This matter infuriated the Emperor, which is why he took the opportunity to lock the Noble Consort Yue up."
After Xiang'er finished speaking, the Queen's eyes widened in shock. She, who had been sitting upright on the luxurious imperial concubine's bed, looked at Xiang'er with a serious expression.
"Are you sure the person in front did not hear wrongly?"
"This servant is certain that the person in front did not hear wrongly. Many people have already heard this, so it can't be wrong. Besides, His Highness the Prince of Chen said that the woman is already his."
The empress did not care about what Xiang'er said after that. It did not matter who they were already, since when did the Prince Li Palace have a granddaughter who was born directly into the family?
If this matter was really true, wouldn't that Mo Yichen be like a tiger with wings?
Because he was a brave fighter. In the entire Xia Kingdom, one-third of the total troops were in his hands. If he took it seriously now and added the person who also had the same military authority, then what chance would his son have?
Thinking of this, the queen felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
"Hurry and deliver this news to the new king's manor and tell the new king that he must investigate this matter thoroughly no matter what.
He had also ordered them to investigate who the direct granddaughter of the Prince Li Palace was. After you find out about it, just kill it. "
The empress was a cruel and merciless person. She would use any means at her disposal to achieve her goals.
Xiang'er nodded and left, but the empress no longer had the mood to rest.
And at this time within the relay station, Zhan Yang's face was gloomy and terrible, as if an accident happened on the night before the storm because he didn't receive any definite information about the Emperor.
Zhan Ling also had a worried look on her face. Her beautiful little face was filled with bitterness as it lacked the laughter from before. She was like a flower that had been beaten by frost.
Linglong was at the side. She had wanted to comfort the princess, but seeing her act in such a manner, she did not know what to say. Thinking about what Xia Kingdom Chen Wang had done, she was so angry that she had the heart to kill.
"This Morning King is nothing special. He was clearly engaged to our princess, but now he has a fiancee?" Isn't this just slapping our princess in the face?
And that damnable woman who came out of nowhere. Why did she still want to get married? Could it be that the women of Xia Kingdom are all so shameless? "
When Zhan Ling heard Ling Long's words, she felt even more sad. She immediately threw herself onto the bed and started to cry bitterly.
There was another person who was as upset as she was, and that was Liang Yuxin.
Originally, she was already annoyed enough with Duke Chen and Princess North Di Kingdom for the marriage, yet now a fiancee had popped up out of nowhere. He really did not know what was going on, so why did everyone want to snatch his Big Brother Chen from her? And whether this was true or false?
"Mom, where's mom? Hurry up and get her to come over early."
