the quality of a bow isn't about its appearance, but about the speed of the arrow it shoots. The initial speed of an arrow at the moment of release is what we call 'initial velocity'. Initial velocity...So he wouldn't leave, he raised his head, meeting Zhao Yan's eyes with a determined gaze, and bowed:
"Your Highness, there is no need for such courtesy. Zi Ling has no needs. I merely happened to save the Eighth Princess' life by chance. It was just a small act of kindness. Your Highness and the Princess needn't dwell on it."
Mo Yunchen's eyes, thoughtful and distant, scanned back and forth between Zhao Yan and Mo Junyi.
He saw Zhao Yan still wanted to continue talking to Mo Jun Yi, so he interrupted first, "Since this stinky boy has said so, you don't have to take it to heart. Right now, Princess Ba's body is the most important. The princess was poisoned in my Northern Frontier camp, this matter is very serious, this palace will definitely investigate thoroughly and give you an explanation as soon as possible."
Zhao Yan knew that Mo Yunchen was unwilling to let him and Zhao Yu'er contact Mo Jinyi, so at this moment he deliberately changed the subject. He took a deep look at Mo Jinyi, then followed Mo Yunchen's words and said, "Then Zhao will leave this matter to Brother Chen."
Seeing Zhao Yan so devoted, Mo Yunchen nodded in satisfaction. "Good, right now the princess is unwell and needs to recuperate properly."
Without giving anyone a chance to refuse, he immediately shouted outside, "Bring the Fourth Prince and Eighth Princess back to camp to rest."
Such eagerness from a straightforward order, Zhao Yuer almost couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Zhao Yan glanced at the unwilling Zhao Yu'er, but ultimately still took her away.
After Zhao Yan and Zhao Yu'er and the others left, Mo Yunchen's face instantly turned grim. He glared fixedly at Mo Junyi, "What did you tell Zhao Yu'er"
Mo Junyi shook his head without hesitation, "Your son said nothing."
Mo Yunchen let out a cold snort. "Mo Junyi, don't try any tricks. If you know what's good for you, just quickly come up with the formula. This palace has already given you enough time. If there is no progress, don't blame me for doing something to you."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Although they are biologically father and son, one would think they had a deep grudge against each other based on their current situation.
After everyone else left the tent, only Mo Junyi and Lei Hong remained. Lei Hong rushed to Mo Junyi’s side, holding him up, and let out a soft sigh, “Young Master, you saw how that Lord acted just now. Are you truly not going with the Eighth Princess and the others”
Mo Junyi didn't answer Lei Hong's words. He just looked at her, saying seriously, "Lei Hong, are you afraid of death"
"... "
Leihong paused for a moment, then nodded. "To say I'm not afraid is definitely a lie, but my subordinate wouldn't just leave the Young Master here alone. So, Young Master, if you insist on not leaving, then please don't try to persuade me."
He was afraid of death, but his life was given to him by the Crown Prince, so deep down he couldn't bring himself to leave the Crown Prince alone here. Even if he died, he would protect the Crown Prince until the very end. This was his promise to General Yun, and he would keep it.
Mò Jūn Yì glanced deeply at Léi Hóng, said nothing, but the emotion in his heart was something only he understood.
He used to envy Wu Shu having loyal people like Yun Liu around him. Back then, Wu Shu told him that once he learned to empathize with others, he would naturally have his own loyal subordinates.
He realized now what Uncle Five meant by "heart for heart."
……
After Mo Yunchen left, he looked at the people beside him and said coldly, "Increase the manpower guarding Zhao Yan and Zhao Yuer, and absolutely don't give them a chance to contact anyone outside Beijang Camp."
"Yes."
After everyone else left, the other person beside Mo Yunchen said, "Your Highness, what do you think about this matter of the Eighth Princess being poisoned"
Mo Yunchen narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly let out a cold snort, "The person who poisoned them was themselves. Otherwise, do you think Zhao Yu'er would have been truly poisoned in our Beijang camp, and Zhao Yan could have passed it so easily"
"Your Lordship means..."
"Zhao Yan and Zhao Yu'er wanted to help Mo Junyi, but now they are barely able to take care of themselves. They still want to help Mo Junyi It's simply audacious."
After finishing his statement, Mo Yunchen glanced at the person beside him. "Any news from the capital yet"
That man shook his head. "Returning to Your Highness, according to the time calculation, unless something unexpected happens, the person sending the letter will only enter the city tomorrow morning."
Mo Yunchen hummed in response and then raised his foot to leave for the council camp.
……
On the other side, Zhao Yan and Zhao Yu'er had just returned to their resting place when Liu Cheng had already brought the antidote. After calming down, he understood what Zhao Yu'er had done just now; she had simply wanted to lead him away.
Now that he had given the antidote to Zhao Yu'er, he casually asked, "Princess, there seems to be a misunderstanding between Your Highness and the young master. You also saw it on your first day here. When Your Highness punished the young master, he showed no mercy at all."
Zhao Yan listened quietly, he glanced at Liu Cheng thoughtfully, then seemingly carelessly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Zhao Yu'er blinked, "This princess knows, but Dr. Liu, you say is there something wrong with Your Highness Yi Gege is his son, how could he possibly be so harsh to Yi Gege"
Zhao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, then put down his teacup with some force and looked at Zhao Yu'er disapprovingly, "Little Eight, don't talk nonsense, and don't gossip about Brother Chen."
After scolding Zhao Yu'er, Zhao Yan turned to Liu Cheng, "I ask Dr. Liu to be magnanimous. Xiao Ba is young and doesn't understand."
Liu Cheng waved his hand dismissively. "Your Highness, you needn't worry so much. Old Eight and I have spent some time together before. I understand her temperament. Whatever she says, once we leave this room, I guarantee I won't utter another word."
Zhao Yan curled his lips into a smile. "Thank you."
Zhao Yu'er pouted, unconcerned, "What are you being so careful about, Brother Emperor I didn't say anything wrong."
"Xiao Ba."
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say anymore."
Liu Cheng actually smiled, "The princess is truly outspoken, and she's right. The Fourth Prince need not mind it."
After that, he looked at Zhao Yuer again, “The prince hasn’t been happy these past few days in the Beijiang camp. However, this old man has repeatedly suggested to the prince that he leave Beijiang, but the prince doesn’t agree. This leaves this old man quite confused about what the prince is thinking”
"The princess and the prince are very close. I would like to ask the princess to persuade the prince to leave Beijiang first, otherwise, with our lord's temperament, who knows what punishment he might inflict upon him."
Zhaoyan tightened his hands, he looked at Zhao Yuer, wanting to interrupt her before she spoke, but before he could say anything, Zhao Yuer rushed to Liu Cheng's side with exaggerated gestures:
"Doctor Liu, do you mean that Brother Yi is often punished by his father But why Could it be that your Highness has a tendency to abuse children"
Liu Cheng: "..."
What he said wasn't about getting her attention.
Before he could react, Zhao Yuer rushed to Zhao Yan's side with an angry and flustered expression:
"Big brother, what should we do That Mo Yunchen has a tendency to abuse children, Big brother, I'm scared. I'm even younger than Brother Yi. Will he abuse me"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!the prince and Yun Wu's clothesShe was shocked at the moment.If Yun Si were to hear this, he would very likely reveal his true colors in front of the Princess.After all, the princess's dream was a bit...
