Chapter 120: Black-bellied Wife Dotes on Her Husband Only (51)
Before the overall situation is decided, no one can guarantee that the final winner will be the princess.
Now that Su Xinlan has given Mo Xingyi an extra chance, Mo Xingyi will definitely be tempted by anyone with Su Quruo in his heart.
It's just that the Mo family's military talisman cannot be handed over casually, so I'm afraid this matter will still have to be discussed.
"Aren't Your Highnesses afraid that Xing Yi will tell the Emperor what happened today?"
"You won't. Of course, even if you go to tell the Queen Mother, why would the Queen Mother believe you without any evidence? At that time, I will only say that you and I have been in love for a long time and have been privately committed for life. We got into trouble because of a little thing.
You are the only one who talks nonsense. I wonder what Mr. Mo thinks - how will the Queen Mother make her choice?"
Su Xinlan's words made the young man tremble with anger. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
Thinking of his master's explanation, the young man held back and said: "Xingyi doesn't understand what His Highness the Fifth Prince said, so Xingyi takes his leave."
"You understand, who will be the next emperor of Feng Kingdom can decide the life and death of your Mo family and Su Qiruo. We are now 70% sure."
A woman's eerie laughter came from behind, mixed with the sound of bells. The boy trembled in shock and almost fell into the flower pond.
Neither Su Qiruo's memory nor the book contained any words about Su Xinlan's secret meeting with Mo Xingyi, but it was obvious that she must have threatened Mo Xingyi with something at that time.
Fortunately, many things have changed in this life. Su Xinlan was eager for success, so there were many loopholes, but it gave others a chance.
Listening to what the waiter said, although Su Qiruo was angry at Su Xinlan for wanting to ruin Mo Xingyi's reputation, she was also glad that she had allowed Mo Xingyi to avoid Su Xinlan so early in this life.
Now, they are more and more certain that Su Xinlan is preparing to take action against the emperor.
"What should we do now? Is it really possible to make a fake military charm for her?"
Mo Xinglin frowned and said, if something happens to the emperor, the princess may not be Su Xinlan's opponent, and then the entire Feng Kingdom will be in trouble.
"She must be familiar with the military talisman. I'm afraid she won't be able to hide it by pretending."
Su Yike shook her head and said, Su Xinlan is not a princess, she is very talented!
"But if I don't make a fake military talisman for her, she will definitely look for Xingyi again later, just in case..."
Mo Xinglin was really worried about her younger brother. That kid would definitely not be able to defeat Su Xinlan!
Su Qiruo thought for a while and then said: "If she doesn't get a reply from Xingyi, she is afraid that she will attack me later and catch me to threaten Xingyi and trick him into stealing General Mo's money."
Soldier Talisman."
Su Qiruo is not afraid of death, but she is worried that if she dies, tragedy will happen again in this life.
Her eighth emperor sister had just married a new husband and now had a baby. How could she watch them being killed?
"So just tell Xingyi not to be impulsive no matter what happens to me, and Su Xinlan's trick will not succeed."
"No. It's too dangerous. It's hard to guard against open fire and hidden arrows. When will it be enough to guard her like this every day?"
Su Yike disagreed and said that she would rather hand the military talisman directly to Su Xinlan and let her plot rebellion earlier, and then catch the turtle in the jar.
"Let me see, let's tell the emperor directly. Even if the emperor doesn't believe it, we can always be more prepared."
Mo Xinglin felt that it was much better to tell the emperor about this kind of thing than to make blind ideas on their own. Even if there was no evidence now, it would still give the emperor an idea and be on guard against Su Xinlan and his daughter.
"But if the Queen Mother suspects that you and I have bad intentions and deliberately frame you, all three of our families will be in trouble!"
Su Yike wouldn't have anything to worry about if she was single, but now she would soon be a family of three. She could not care about herself, but she could not ignore Lin Yiwen and their unborn child.
"Actually, it's up to me to say this. You two can just pretend not to know. If the Queen Mother wants to blame, she will only blame me."
Su Qiruo is not afraid of anything when she is alone now. If she finally chooses to tell the truth to the emperor, then she is the most suitable candidate.
The emperor would never kill her because of her few reminders. At most, he would accuse her of stirring up discord and then punish her with a few slaps.
"The emperor may not believe it if the three of us go together, but what's the use of saying it alone?"
Mo Xinglin shook her head, and for a moment, the three of them fell into silence.
A person suddenly appeared in front of Su Qiruo's eyes. If that person was willing to go with them, the emperor would be suspicious and would be overconfident.
"If Zhang Yurui is willing to help, this matter will turn around."
"How is that possible? Zhang Yurui is a member of the Zhang family and Su Xinlan's rightful king. How could he accuse his wife of treason?"
Mo Xinglin simply didn't believe that Zhang Yurui would turn to them. There was no good person in the Zhang family.
"How would you know it's impossible if you don't give it a try? Perhaps this matter can be left to the eighth brother-in-law and Xingyi."
Su Qiruo came closer to the two of them and talked about it in detail, and the doubts in their eyes faded a little.
"But if this matter is really told to Zhang Yurui, if he passes it on to Su Xinlan, then there will be nothing we can do."
Su Yike said seriously that although Su Xinlan had made a move on Zhang Yurui, she still felt that Zhang Yurui's heart was towards Su Xinlan.
"We only asked Xingyi to tell him the side story of the matter. If we didn't tell him that we already knew the truth, even if he had doubts in his heart and told Su Xinlan later, the worst we could do was go to the Queen Mother to explain it clearly.
It’s also the last resort.”
Su Qiruo still remembered Zhang Yurui's meaningful glance at the palace banquet. She believed that Zhang Yurui must have known something.
"That's all it can do now."
After the three people discussed it, they went home.
Within two days, Zhang Yurui received a post from the Eighth Emperor's Palace, saying that the mansion had received several new pots of flowers from foreign lands, and invited him to come over to enjoy the flowers and drink tea.
Zhang Yurui stared blankly at the post for a while, then asked the waiter to reply, saying that he would be there on time.
During this period, Su Xinlan stayed in the study all day and did not even go back to the backyard at night, so Zhang Yurui had no intention of telling her about this.
Zhang Yurui passed by the door of the study several times and seemed to hear someone's voice in the study. However, Su Xinlan's people kept a close eye on him and he could not go in.
When Zhang Yurui came over, Mo Xingyi also happened to arrive, and they entered the house together.
Lin Yiwen not only invited the two of them, but also invited many young husbands from aristocratic families. Everyone was talking and laughing around the pots of flowers.
