Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 587

Mo Zhonggui met him.

The Fourth Prince stared intently at Mo Chonggui, and asked in a tone ashen as ashes, "Is there a problem with the recipe for Peach and Plum Blossom Dew that you gave me?"

The fourth prince wasn't stupid; having been confined to the mansion for so long, he had already guessed everything.

Mo Zhonggui looked directly at him and admitted it without flinching.

"Yes."

"The wig you had that master of disguise make for my mother is also problematic?"

"Yes."

The fourth prince's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched, and his teeth clenched.

"Why did you do this! You came to surrender to me, and I never treated you badly. I even fulfilled your requests and recommended you to the Ministry of Justice! But it turns out you were plotting against me from the very beginning, trying to harm my mother!"

Mo Chonggui calmly said, "From the moment you decided to join this struggle for the throne, you should have been mentally prepared for this. Intrigues and schemes, backstabbing, deception and betrayal, fratricide—it's all meant to be this way. The throne has always been forged with blood and bones. Don't you even have the slightest awareness of this, yet you fantasize about fighting your way through the imperial court to ascend to that position?"

"you!......"

The fourth prince was speechless with anger, but he didn't know what to say in response.

Mo Zhonggui smiled.

"Fourth Brother, this path is not suitable for you. While you haven't fallen into too dire a situation yet, have some self-awareness, behave yourself, and stay put. Perhaps you can still live a peaceful and uneventful life in your later years."

When Xie Qingmo was murdered and the Xie family was wiped out, the Fourth Prince was just an infant, and it had nothing to do with him. Therefore, Mo Chonggui's hatred never extended to the Fourth Prince.

However, being Jiang Yunwan's biological son is the Fourth Prince's original sin. The fact that Mo Zhonggui didn't directly harm the Fourth Prince is already a sign that he didn't hold a grudge against him; this is the best possible outcome for him.

Regardless of the Fourth Prince's character, he is certainly simple-minded. Whether or not Mo Chonggui exists, he could never have become the victor in the struggle for the throne.

What Mo Zhonggui gave him was genuine advice.

The fourth prince glared hatefully at Mo Chonggui.

"Then what hope do you think you have? You know your own background. Whoever your father chooses to pass the throne to, it's impossible for it to be yours!"

Mo Zhonggui said calmly, "There's no need for Fourth Brother to worry about that."

He doesn't necessarily need Huo Tingsheng to pass the position to him; if he doesn't, he'll just take it by force.

The fourth prince was still indignant and wanted to say something, but Mo Chonggui continued, "If you want to avenge your mother, I'm ready anytime, but I advise you not to. You're already very lucky to have survived; don't court death."

The Fourth Prince really wanted to tear Huo Jinghuai to pieces right now to get revenge, but he wasn't completely stupid. He knew that in his current state, he was no match for Huo Jinghuai.

He gritted his teeth for a long time, but finally suppressed his anger, snorted, and turned to leave.

Mo Zhonggui ignored him.

The Fourth Prince had indeed done nothing wrong to him, but he had no affection for the Fourth Prince whatsoever. In any case, he had already given his advice; it would be best if the Fourth Prince listened, but if he didn't and insisted on courting death, he wouldn't show any mercy.

After the Fourth Prince left, Shen Lingjun walked in.
