After he could no longer see Mo Yu, Yi Jinyi looked at Eunuch Li beside him and said with a frown: "Eunuch Li, are you being too cautious? I'm afraid that Mo Yu will be misled because I don't trust him."
Eunuch Li's steady voice came: "Your Majesty, you are too concerned. The Marquis will understand that this person is too important to you. You cannot afford any mistakes. It is good to have an extra layer of insurance!"
Yi Jinyi knew that doing so would be more rigorous, so he didn't say anything more.
But he was still a little annoyed, so he patted Mo Yu and thought about it.
Mo Yu didn't think too much about it at the time. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw two people there talking about something.
A strange man showed a flattering expression on his face in front of Gong Wenmin.
Gong Wenmin, on the other hand, had an unhappy look on his face, with impatience in his eyes.
Only after Mo Yu walked in did he hear the conversation between the two of them.
"My Lord, the Ninth Prince invites you to come to the palace to talk. If you don't go, won't it make it difficult for me to do my job?"
"Besides, the prince has prepared tea for you."
Gong Wenmin looked at Wang Wang coldly: "Please tell His Majesty that I just returned to the capital and I am not feeling well. I will visit you another day."
Mo Yu walked forward and slapped Gong Wenmin hard.
Mo Yu said gently: "I thought you had left a long time ago. I didn't expect you to be in front of the palace. Is he waiting for me?"
Although Mo Yu's tone was very gentle, Gong Wenmin felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it.
The shadow that Mo Yu brought to him still exists.
Gong Wenmin quickly bowed respectfully to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu didn't look at Gong Wenmin, but looked at Wang Wang next to him.
"I wonder who this person is? I saw you two were quite close just now."
Mo Yu spoke with a smile.
Before Gong Wenmin could explain, Wang Wang said arrogantly, "My Lord, I am from the Ninth Prince's mansion and have come to invite you to the mansion for a chat. I will not disturb you for now! My Lord, let's go first!"
Wang Wang was confident that Gong Wenmin would not offend the Ninth Prince in front of Mo Yu.
That's how bold you are to speak.
Wang Wang's words clearly meant to pull Gong Wenmin into his camp.
After listening to this, Mo Yu looked at Gong Wenmin thoughtfully: "Oh, so that's how it is."
Gong Wenmin immediately broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to cut this man into pieces.
He had just expressed his loyalty in front of the emperor, and this happened as soon as he left the palace. If the emperor knew about this, his life would be in danger!
Just when he was about to explain to Mo Yu, he met such a stupid teammate. It was hard not to be angry.
"Just now I was talking to the Emperor about a man sneaking around the palace gate. It turned out to be the Ninth Prince's men."
Mo Yu looked at Gong Wenmin with a smile.
Gong Wenmin's face was full of panic, and he quickly said, "My Lord, please listen to my explanation. This is not the case. I didn't even know that the Ninth Prince would send someone to invite me."
Wang Wang, who was standing nearby, was stunned. Didn’t Gong Wenmin always support the Ninth Prince
Why is it behaving like this now
His brain, which was not smart to begin with, got stuck in an instant.
Mo Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Since you said so, I just believe it. It's been so long since I last saw you, why don't we go for a drink?"
Mo Yu's words were tentative.
You must choose between him and the Ninth Prince.
Mo Yu will never allow the existence of villains who are both treacherous and vile.
Gong Wenmin obviously understood Mo Yu's deep meaning at this time.
If he chose to go with Wang Wang, he would obviously offend Mo Yu and the emperor behind Mo Yu. If he chose to go with Mo Yu in front of the Ninth Prince, he would definitely offend the Ninth Prince.
Mo Yu's meaning was very clear.
Choose one.
The three of them fell silent, and both looked at Gong Wenmin.
Gong Wenmin didn't expect that he was more tired after just two hours back in Beijing than he was in Chuzhou for two months. If possible, he really wanted to stay in Chuzhou forever.
It’s a pity that this is just a delusion.
Gong Wenmin bowed to Mo Yu and said, "My Lord, since you left, I have been wanting to have a good chat with you again."
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.
Mo Yu's lips curled up.
It seems that Gong Wenmin has made his choice.
Wang Wang could only watch the two men leave.
When Wang Wang returned to the palace, he told Yi Qingyu the story with exaggeration.
Yi Qingyu let the person go with a gloomy face.
But he didn't understand why Gong Wenmin had changed so much just after going out. He even dared to clearly express that he didn't want to have any contact with him. It was really hateful.
Yi Qingyu also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper. The most important thing was to know what had happened in Chuzhou.
But all this can only be accomplished after meeting Gong Wenmin.
Mo Yu brought Gong Wenmin to the pub he often visited.
Gong Wenmin fidgeted a little and called out, "My Lord."
It was very strange. He was almost twenty years older than Mo Yu, but he always felt inferior to him.
Mo Yu chuckled gently, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be too nervous. I will not tell the emperor about what happened today, but it is better to cut off contact with the Ninth Prince!"
Gong Wenmin quickly responded: "Yes, I understand!"
The two chatted about something else, but no one knew what it was.
The two of them parted when the moon was hanging high above the branches.
Gong Wenmin was a little tipsy at first, but he sobered up when the wind blew gently. There were only a few people on the whole street, and he felt amazed every time he talked to Mo Yu.
Now he still has lingering fears in his heart. Today he learned a shocking secret, which made him more certain that his choice was right.
It turns out that Yi Qingyu is not of royal blood.
No wonder Yi Qingyu’s behavior was so strange sometimes, he was so crazy about making money and refused to give up power at all.
I see.
Then isn't his behavior over the years just party-building and anti-dissident tactics
When I returned, the servant came to report that the people sent by the Ninth Prince were still waiting in the hall
At this moment, Gong Wenmin had no hesitation in his heart: "From now on, whenever someone from the Ninth Prince comes to invite me, just say I'm not here and send them away!"
I have to say that Mo Yu's trick is insidious but indeed useful.
Tear off Yi Qingyu's disguise and let the officials following Yi Qingyu take a good look at what kind of person their master is.
If Yi Qingyu is really the late emperor's younger brother, then it is understandable that he covets the throne. If he succeeds, he will be a hero, and there will be some people with big minds and ambitions following him, perhaps quite a few, just like now.
