A fierce look flashed across Wei Weiyan's eyes, and he did not show any deliberate respect on the surface. He questioned Yi Jinyi: "Your Majesty, do you mean to let my son die in vain?"
Yi Jinyi stood up suddenly. How could he not see Wei Weiyan's attitude? His face was filled with anger and shame, and he said unhappily: "I have already said that the majesty of the royal family does not allow anyone to provoke. Wei Aiqing, you are overstepping your authority! Please step down first!"
"The Ninth Prince has arrived!"
Wei Weiyan already understood Yi Jinyi's attitude after seeing it, but when he heard the voice outside, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
As soon as Yi Qingyu walked in, he bowed respectfully to Yi Jinyi: "Your Highness!"
Yi Jinyi said calmly, "Why is the emperor's uncle here? Please stand up."
After Yi Qingyu stood up, he smiled and said, "I heard about what happened at Lord Wei's mansion. I was afraid that the emperor couldn't handle it well, so I came to take a look." As if he had just seen Wei Weiyan kneeling on the ground, his face was full of surprise: "Lord Wei, didn't you ask the emperor to redress your injustice? Why are you like this?"
Yi Jinyi sneered in his heart when he heard this. He said he came to take a look, but in fact he came to support Wei Weiyan. However, he had to succumb to the power in Yi Qingyu's hands and the pressure from his elders. He said timidly: "Uncle, I have already examined this matter. It was Wei Xiongfeng who broke into the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion and took away the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion. This matter also concerns the majesty of the royal family. Let's just let it go and let Lord Wei go back to properly handle Wei Xiongfeng's funeral!"
After listening to this, Yi Qingyu said to Yi Jinyi with some regret: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei has worked hard for our Tianyu Kingdom for half his life. Wei Xiongfeng and the eldest lady of the Marquis Mansion are in love with each other, so how can he be abducted by force? You can't just believe one side of the story."
Mo Yu lowered his eyes slightly. When entering the palace, Mo Bin briefly told him about the situation in the court. There was a faction headed by the Ninth Prince, a royalist faction, and a neutral faction. Judging from the situation, the royalist faction was the most weakened. From the situation at this time, it can be seen that Yi Jinyi, who had already made up his mind, had to submit after Yi Qingyu came.
When Mo Yu came here, he had a premonition in his heart that this trip would not be so smooth, but it didn't matter, he still had an object in his hand that could help him turn defeat into victory. He said to Yi Jinyi lightly, "Your Majesty, I have brought another thing. Please invite my guards into the palace."
"Transmit!" Yi Jinyi moved his waist which was a little sore from sitting for a long time. He wanted to see what other tricks Mo Yu had to change this doomed situation. He was afraid that after this incident, the Weiwu Marquis Mansion would be even less important than the dust under his feet!
Mo Bin walked in holding a rosewood box in his hands.
As Mo Yu took out the contents of the rosewood box, he explained, "Back then, my father was ordered by the late emperor to lead 200,000 troops to support the border. He not only defended against the fierce attack of the million-strong army of Qingxiao Kingdom, but also captured the then second prince of Qingxiao, who is now the emperor, and recaptured the lost Yanmen Pass. The late emperor remembered his merits and bestowed him with the imperial sword!" This short and plain sentence is enough to imagine the heyday of the Mo family in those days.
Mo Yu's face was solemn as he took out the sword respectfully. One side of the sword was engraved with a soaring dragon, and the other side was engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings. Even though the sword had been deposited for many years, it looked unusually sharp.
