Chapter 1971: Know When to Retreat

those filled with righteous anger wanted to jump out of bed, but unfortunately he couldn't!!"Mo Jun Yi, by the way, where's Mo Jun Yi Isn't he in jail"The leader bowed, "Your Highness, the young mast...Mo Yunze finished his words with a sinister smile, then waved his hand dismissively. "No more delays. Send people to keep an eye on the Hu family. When they enter the palace and detain my father emperor, immediately have that woman killed."

The advisor felt this was too rash, but couldn't think of a better solution at the moment. He could only nod and say, "Yes, Your Highness."

......

Northern Frontier Prince's Mansion

Every move that Mo Rongyan and Mo Yunze made was under the watchful eye of the Beijiang Wangfu.

At this point, it was learned that Mo Rongyan had gone to the Queen's natal family, the Hu clan, to prepare to enter the palace and seek justice for the Queen. Moreover, Mo Yunze had also sent more than twenty of his household guards to infiltrate the palace. A satisfied smile appeared on the faces of Mo Jundi and Yun Si and others.

Now let them dogs fight amongst themselves, so they have no energy left to bother their Beijiang Wangfu. This truly saves the Wangfu a lot of trouble.

Just as Mo Junyi and the others had not yet had time to celebrate, a guard rushed in from outside the gate, reporting that someone from the Hu family had an urgent matter to discuss and was currently waiting outside the palace. They wished to see their young master.

Upon hearing this, Mo Junyi and Yun Si exchanged glances, their brows furrowing in unison.

The Hu clan has always had little interaction with their Bei Jiang Wangfu, and the Hu clan has never participated in party disputes.

No matter what happens in the capital, they have always kept out of it.

Now they even came to their Beijiang Wangfu, what is the reason for this

Everyone was puzzled as to why the Hu family had come. Yun Si frowned and remained silent for a moment, then looked at Mo Junyi, "Young Master, would you like to see them"

Mo Junyi pondered for a moment then shook his head, politely declining. "You go and refuse them," he said softly. "Tell them that the elders of Beijang王府 are currently away, and children aren't allowed to leave the estate unaccompanied during this time. Advise them to wait until Prince Beijang and Princess Beijang return if they have anything important to discuss."

If it were in the past, Mo Junyi might personally go and see what these people were trying to do.

Now that the prince's residence is short-staffed, he, along with his brothers Ping and An, cannot easily leave Jingtang Garden.

Especially after the incident a few days ago when someone from Bai Guang Gong broke into Jing Tang Yuan, Mo Jun Yi became even more vigilant about such things.

Once he was to leave Jingtang Garden, Yun Si would inevitably dispatch someone to guard him at all times.

Sending someone else with him means there will be one fewer person guarding outside Jingtang Garden.

He didn't care about his own life or death, but having one less person guarding outside Jingtang Garden would mean one more risk for peace and safety.

Yunliu and the other brothers were injured, so they were lying in Jingchen Garden recovering. He hadn't gone to visit them.

It's because I thought of this, that I couldn't cause unnecessary trouble for the people in the mansion, so I've never gone to see Yunliu's injuries personally.

After understanding Mo Junyi's meaning, Yun Si nodded slightly and clasped his hands together. "Yes, young master."

After he finished, he turned and went outside the palace to deal with those people.

......

When Yun Si came out, he discovered that the one who had come to the Beijiang Royal Manor was none other than Hu Lao Houye, the most influential patriarch of the Hu clan and the father of Empress Hu Jinfeng.

There are still many in the capital who would call him "father-in-law," but the old marquis is the head of the Hu clan, a title more prestigious than "father-in-law."

Lord Hu was currently sitting in the carriage. Seeing that the person who came wasn't Mo Junyi, his eyes darkened.

Yun Si pretended not to see the old marquis's disappointment. At this time, he bowed to him and took the initiative to explain, "My name is Yun Si, I have met the old marquis."

"Please forgive us, Lord Hou. Our Prince and Princess have yet to return to the capital. Before leaving, the Prince specifically instructed that no one, especially the young masters of the house, should receive guests while he and the Princess were away. He was concerned about potential accidents."

"As a lowly servant, I am unable to defy the prince's orders, so I can only apologize to the old Marquis. Before the prince and princess return, the young master must not appear."

Even if Yun Si tried to explain further, the elderly Lord naturally knew that these words were just excuses.

The Hu family has always adhered to the principle of not interfering in matters concerning the royal family.

Now he proactively sought out the Northern Border Prince's Mansion, the people in the Northern Border Prince's Mansion must have guessed his intentions. It's also within reason that they wouldn't want to see him at this time.

After all, back then, the Hu clan also watched helplessly as the Emperor went all out against the Northern Border Palace, and they never uttered a word of fairness for the Northern Border Palace.

Now that his daughter is in trouble in the palace, he wants to ask the people of Beijiang Royal Mansion for help. How could the people of Beijiang Royal Mansion possibly agree

Now, apart from going to the Beijang Wangfu, he really had no other way.

So, now unwilling to give up, he looked at Yun Si and asked in a low voice, “When will your king and queen arrive in the capital”

Yun Si remained calm throughout, "Your Lordship, I am unable to determine the exact date. Our prince and princess' movements are unpredictable, and even the entire Northern Border Wangfu cannot provide a definite time for their arrival in the capital."

The old Marquis frowned, "How can this old man meet the young master This old man truly has something very important to discuss with the young master. There is truly no way for this old man to see the young master"

"Knowing you are worried about the Prince's safety, let this old man see the Prince alone. Before I see the Prince, you may search me."

Everyone: "..." They were all astonished.

Obviously, no one expected Old Master Hou to be so bold.

But Yun Si remained unmoved, “Lord Hou is too kind. How dare a lowly person like me commit such an offense against Lord Hou.”

"However, this lowly one is truly powerless. Both I and the young master are unable to fulfill the Marquis's request."

"After all, everyone in the entire Beijiang Royal Mansion only listens to our Prince and Princess. Even if the Young Master wants to see your old Marquis today, the Yun family army stationed in the mansion and the masters under the Princess's command would stop him. After all, this is an order from our Prince and Princess, which cannot be disobeyed."

Having said that, Yun Si quickly followed up, "This is how it is, old sir. If you have any important matters, please tell me first. I will surely convey every word to the young master."

The old Marquis pursed his lips, his face taut. His thoughtful gaze lingered on Yun Si's face for a moment.

Having determined that he would not see Mo Junyi today under any circumstances, he subsequently spoke his purpose as if in concession, "I've heard that your Northern Border Prince's Mansion possesses a weapon of great power."

"Let me be frank with you, I'm going to the palace today to have a showdown with that newly appointed concubine. So I thought I'd borrow your family's powerful weapons from your estate to intimidate her and force her to back down."

After Mo Rongyan found him, he learned that the current Empress had been controlled by a lowly maidservant with a slap, and the Emperor had even absurdly decreed that the Empress should vacate the Kunning Palace.

He was the head of the Hu clan and also the father-in-law of the country, so he was immediately overcome with rage and almost spat blood.

Once he was recovered, he would bring his people to the palace to meet the emperor and demand an explanation.He sighed softly in his heart and followed her inside.After entering the room, An Xuetang simply sat on the wooden bed.
