The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Mo Jingyu is not stupid. With his relationship with Mo Lintian, he doesn't need to worry at all. Besides, even if he needs to be on guard, he should be on guard against him, Mo Jingxuan. Does he really think he doesn't know what he and the imperial concubine are planning?

Humph! Wanting to become the crown prince and inherit the throne is wishful thinking!

Seeing that Mo Jingyu ignored him, Mo Jingxuan's expression suddenly became even uglier.

Damn it! How dare you ignore me!

Mo Jingxuan couldn't help but clench his hands under his sleeves, his joints protruding and making a faint creaking sound.

Mo Jingyu, do you think you can rest easy just because you're the crown prince? One day, I'll pull you down from the throne, trample you underfoot, and make you live a life worse than death!

Mo Linyuan was unaware of the undercurrents between his two sons. His attention was basically on his younger brother Mo Lintian.

"Lintian, after the New Year, are you going to the Imperial College again?" Mo Linyuan asked.

"Yeah." Mo Lintian nodded, "We'll probably leave on the tenth day of the first lunar month."

"So early!" Mo Linyuan frowned, feeling a little reluctant. "Can't we wait until after the Lantern Festival?"

Mo Lintian didn't want to leave so early. He was reluctant to be separated from Su Qingning, but the Imperial Academy started on the 16th day of the lunar year, and it would take at least five days to travel from the imperial capital to the Imperial Academy. Therefore, he had to set off on the 10th day of the lunar year.

"Brother Emperor, I also want to spend the Lantern Festival with you, but you also know that the Imperial Academy starts on the 16th day of each year, and I can't be late!"

Mo Linyuan was once a student of the Imperial Academy, so he naturally knew the rules of the Imperial Academy. However, in the past two years, he and Mo Lintian had been apart for most of the time, so he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to part.

Mo Jingyu and Mo Jingxuan are also fifteen years old this year, and they both entered the Imperial College in September last year, so after the New Year, they will leave with Mo Lintian.

But now, Mo Linyuan seemed to only remember his younger brother Mo Lintian and completely ignored his two sons.

Mo Jingyu had long been accustomed to this, and no ripples were stirred in his heart.

But Mo Jingxuan was different. The eyes he looked at Mo Lintian were full of resentment and jealousy. He really didn't know what his father was thinking. He didn't favor his own biological son, but favored a half-brother. Could it be that he was mentally ill or had been poisoned by someone?

Seeing that her son could no longer control the emotions on his face, Concubine Gao, who was sitting on the other side of the emperor, quickly called out to him, "Xuan'er"

Hearing his mother's voice, Mo Jingxuan subconsciously looked up. When he met Concubine Gao's warning eyes, his heart tightened. He immediately realized that he almost lost his composure, so he quickly adjusted his mood and restored the gentle and elegant image he had pretended to have in the past.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Mo Jingxuan asked in a puzzled manner.

Hearing the voice, the emperor and the empress turned their heads to look at Concubine Gao with questioning eyes.

Concubine Gao had a gentle smile on her face and said softly, "Nothing, mother just suddenly remembered that you, Xuan'er, and the Crown Prince seemed to be students of the Imperial Academy."

After hearing what Concubine Gao said, Mo Linyuan finally realized this matter.

"Oh, yes, the Crown Prince and Jingxuan are also students of the Imperial Academy. If you hadn't mentioned it, Noble Concubine, I would have almost forgotten." Mo Linyuan said, then looked at Mo Jingyu and Mo Jingxuan, and said with a smile: "Crown Prince, Jingxuan, since you are also students of the Imperial Academy, it's just right for you to set off with your uncle. You will have a companion on the road."

Without waiting for Mo Jingyu and Mo Jingxuan to reply, Mo Linyuan looked at Mo Lintian again and asked in a negotiating tone, "Lintian, what do you think?"

This time, Mo Lintian had already discussed with Xie Yichen, Qi Runyu and the others about going back to the Imperial Academy. They would set off together. Even if there were two more people, it wouldn't matter. Therefore, Mo Lintian did not reject Mo Linyuan's proposal. "Okay, I have no objection."

Seeing that Mo Lintian agreed, Mo Linyuan showed a satisfied smile on his face. He turned his head to look at Mo Jingyu and Mo Jingxuan, and warned them: "Crown Prince, Jingxuan, remember to listen to your uncle after returning to the Imperial Academy. Don't cause trouble for your uncle, understand?"

"Yes, I know."

Mo Jingyu and Mo Jingxuan agreed obediently. One accepted it calmly, while the other was resentful and unwilling, gritting his teeth in his heart.

Even Concubine Gao could barely maintain her gentle smile. She had brought up this matter with the intention of asking Mo Linyuan to care about his son, but not only had he not expressed any concern, he had instead told his son to listen to Mo Lintian. This was truly outrageous. How could a father behave like this?!

Concubine Gao took a deep breath and barely suppressed the anger in her heart. She had more important things to do today, and there was no need to delay their plans for such a small matter.

Seeing that Mo Linyuan was in a good mood after three rounds of drinking, Concubine Gao knew that now was the best time, so she quickly moved to Mo Linyuan's side, took his arm, and said with a charming smile: "Your Majesty, I have something I would like to ask for your grace."

Mo Linyuan glanced at the beautiful and charming Concubine Gao, and a dark glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. He suppressed that lust and said with a smile: "Oh? My beloved concubine, please tell me what favor you want."

Having served Mo Linyuan for more than ten years, it was no wonder that Concubine Gao could see that he had fallen in love. Thinking of what would happen tonight, a blush appeared on her face. She smiled shyly and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, it's not a big deal. Xuan'er is already fifteen, not young anymore. Isn't it time to arrange a marriage for him?"

Mo Linyuan had drunk a lot of wine and was already a little drunk. His mind was not very clear, and he did not realize what Concubine Gao was thinking for a while.

"Yes, my beloved concubine is right. Fifteen is not young anymore. It should refer to marriage." Mo Linyuan rubbed his dizzy head and asked, "Since my beloved concubine mentioned this matter, do you already have a favorite candidate?"

"Well, there is one."

Concubine Gao nodded. She had no idea how much trouble her next words would bring to her and Mo Jingxuan. A gentle smile still hung on her face.

"Your Majesty, I think the third young lady of the Su family, Su Qingning, is quite good. During the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the palace, I saw her from afar and felt that the third young lady Su was not only good-looking, but also had a quiet and steady temperament. She is a perfect match for Xuan'er."

Concubine Gao spoke very nicely on the surface, acting as if she liked Su Qingning very much, but in fact her heart was full of calculations. The reason why she chose Su Qingning was simply because she heard that Su Qingning had contracted Suzaku and had become the young master of the Su family. She wanted to find a powerful helper for Mo Jingxuan through marriage.
