Chapter 116 What kind of benefits did he promise you?
After hearing this, Mo Jiuye understood a lot.
To put it bluntly, He Zhiyuan was able to have a relationship with King Rui, and the person in the middle was He Meiyu.
He had also heard someone say that Princess Rui's natal family had no background and was just an ordinary businessman's family in the capital.
Not long ago, news came out in the capital that Princess Rui had contracted an illness and died.
Looking at He Zhiyuan's expression now, it doesn't look like he is telling lies.
Mo Jiuye continued to ask: "What happened next?"
"Later, King Rui used the excuse that Meiyu missed her mother's family and secretly took her to meet me.
Over time, I gradually became familiar with Prince Rui, and he took the opportunity to tell me about his plans to win me over.
It was also at that time that I learned how ambitious King Rui was."
Mo Jiuye asked: "What kind of benefits did he promise you?"
He Zhiyuan laughed at himself: "Of course it is Meiyu who takes the position of queen. King Rui said that as long as he can successfully ascend to that position, the future queen must be Meiyu.
When the time comes, he will announce Meiyu’s true identity in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and make me the head of the country who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the dynasty."
Mo Jiuye sneered: "It's a pity that your daughter was short-lived."
He Zhiyuan sighed.
"It's all because I don't know people well and thought that King Rui would keep his word to me. Who would have thought that after I was demoted from my official position by the emperor's decree, his attitude towards me was not as good as before.
Until the news of Meiyu's death came out, I didn't dare to dream about becoming the head of state.
King Rui is not worried that I will tell his story. In that case, it will be equivalent to me directly admitting that I have seized the food and grass at the border."
As he spoke, He Zhiyuan bowed deeply towards Mo Jiuye.
"Mr. Mo, now we have all been reduced to exile. I am telling you this because I hope you can ignore your past grudges and take care of my He family.
I can get to where I am today without the manipulation of King Rui. After this period of exile, I have seen through many things and will no longer have any thoughts that I shouldn't have."
Mo Jiuye put his hands behind his back, his eyes still cold.
"You and I are not on the same journey, not to mention what you did back then almost killed so many soldiers at the border. I will never forgive you under any circumstances.
For the sake of what you told me today, as long as you behave yourself and don't provoke me in the future, I promise that I won't take the initiative to take action against you."
Mo Jiuye once thought that after arriving in the northwest, he would find an opportunity to take He Zhiyuan's life and avenge him for detaining the food and grass of the border officers.
If the border officers had not died because of his seizure of food and grass, Mo Jiuye would have taken their lives long ago.
The fact that he can make such a guarantee to He Zhiyuan today is already the biggest concession.
When He Zhiyuan heard this, he straightened up instantly and stared at Mo Jiuye in disbelief.
He never thought that Mo Jiuye had murderous intentions towards him.
It is estimated that he did not take action early because he considered that there were still official officials there.
Thinking of this, He Zhiyuan suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.
The purpose of him taking the initiative to tell Mo Jiuye this was not to win the other party's forgiveness, but to make the whole family live a better life.
Even if you just give them the fruit one or two to satisfy their cravings, it would be good.
Unexpectedly, things did not develop according to plan at all, leaving him feeling in a dilemma.
After thinking for a moment, He Zhiyuan said bravely: "Mr. Mo, I tell you this with sincerity. You can't turn your back on me!"
Mo Jiuye snorted coldly.
"You took the initiative to tell me, and I didn't ask."
These words almost made He Zhiyuan angry. He was not without a temper.
"Everyone in the court says you are a gentleman, but I think you are just a villain."
Mo Jiuye smiled instead of getting angry.
"Whether you are a gentleman or a villain, it all depends on who you are dealing with. If I treat a complete villain, what reason do I have to be a gentleman?"
These words left He Zhiyuan speechless. He could also see that Mo Jiuye had a temper that was indifferent, and no matter how much he said, it would not help.
In the end, He Zhiyuan flicked his sleeves, turned around and left angrily.
At the same time, Mo Jiuye also fell into deep thought.
He was thinking, if what He Zhiyuan said was true, how to deal with it in the future.
Just as Nan Heng had figured out a solution to the matter, Nan Rui appeared like an invisible man.
He Zhiran was eating fruit with the female relatives over there. He saw He Zhiyuan coming over and didn't think much about it. He just thought that he was doing it to please Mo Jiuye.
Seeing that the female family members had almost eaten, He Zhiran urged everyone to rest.
There is not much fruit left, enough for each member of the Mo family to receive two.
So He Zhiran directly made the decision and asked each family member to take two and leave, saving them for the road tomorrow.
Everyone was satisfied and went back to their tents to rest while holding the fruits.
He Zhiran asked Mrs. Mo to sleep on the mule cart with Mo Hanyue.
The cabin was softly paved, and it was more comfortable than inside the tent anyway.
Considering her son's injury, Mrs. Mo refused and still wanted to sleep in the tent.
Now that Mo Jiuye knows the secret of space, He Zhiran has no requirements for accommodation. No matter where they sleep, they will eventually enter the space.
Mo Jiuye also knew this truth and helped He Zhiran to persuade Mrs. Mo.
In the end, Mrs. Mo couldn't resist the two of them and obediently took Mo Hanyue to live in the mule cart.
Now that Mo Jiuye knows about the existence of the space, He Zhiran doesn't plan to wash up outside until he returns to the space.
When she returned to the tent, she saw Mo Jiuye looking thoughtful.
He Zhiran subconsciously thought that it must be related to He Zhiyuan.
Thinking that the walls had ears, He Zhiran directly pulled Mo Jiuye into the space just to be on the safe side.
The two of them sat opposite each other at the dining table in tacit understanding.
He Zhiran asked: "What happened?"
Mo Jiuye did not hide anything and told He Zhiran what He Zhiyuan just said.
"I'm not sure now whether what He Zhiyuan said is true or false, but I have to be careful."
Hearing this, He Zhiran began to search his mind for records about Nan Rui in history books.
However, in her perception, Nan Rui's presence was very low. If Mo Jiuye hadn't mentioned it today, she would have even ignored this person.
In order to confirm the authenticity of the matter, He Zhiran took several history books in front of Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye saw a pile of books on the table and asked, "What is this?"
He Zhiran specially brought a traditional Chinese version of the history book and sent it to Mo Jiuye.
"It records some things about the Dashun Dynasty, which may help us."
Without doubting his presence, Mo Jiuye immediately started reading.
He Zhiran has not been idle. Since she traveled here, she has read many history books. Most of the contents are superficial narratives. If she wants to truly understand some unknown things, she has to dig into unofficial histories.
