Chapter 305 The Disabled Prince's Substitute Princess 18
"Hmm?" Baili Hongxuan tilted his head slightly to look at him, "Why?"
After they both packed up, Mo Yang took Baili Hongxuan to the dining hall to eat.
Mo Yang didn't dare let Baili Hongxuan eat anything from the palace banquet, so he ate at home first.
Seeing Baili Hongxuan looking at him and waiting for a reply, Mo Yang spoke helplessly.
"I have never seen the Baili Yan'er you mentioned, and I have never had any contact with her, so why should I help her?
Besides, you are not having a good time in the Qilan Kingdom Palace, right? I don't think she would be very nice to you, so I have no reason to show sympathy to such a person."
"Hongxuan said he believed me this morning, but now he deliberately asked me such a question to test me. Could it be that you lied to me when you said you would love me?"
When Baili Hongxuan saw Mo Yang's resentful gaze, he felt guilty for a moment.
He did have some tentative thoughts, but it was also a fact that Baili Yan'er loved Mo Yang, and they would definitely meet during this visit to the palace. But just thinking about it, Baili Hongxuan felt uncomfortable as if his own pig was being coveted by others.
"I didn't lie to you," Baili Hongxuan pulled Mo Yang over and pecked him on the corner of his lips, "Mo Yang, I don't want her to see you."
It doesn't seem like a big deal to just say this.
After Baili Hongxuan finished speaking, he felt a little relieved.
"Hongxuan," Mo Yang smiled and rubbed his frowning brows, "We love each other. If you are worried that someone else will covet me, you should tell her that I am yours and let her give up, instead of hiding me."
Baili Hongxuan glanced at him and said in an ambiguous tone, "You are quite experienced."
Mo Yang touched his nose and thought that this experience was accumulated by being with Hongxuan over several worlds.
It's impossible for him to live for several lifetimes and still be like a young boy.
But what needs to be explained must be explained. Mo Yang doesn't want Hongxuan to think that he was a playboy in the past.
"I learned this by myself after meeting Hongxuan," Mo Yang hugged him and acted coquettishly on his shoulders, "Hongxuan, you have to believe me, I only have you."
Baili Hongxuan lowered his head and pecked him on the cheek, then replied softly, "I believe you."
He would never trust someone easily. Before coming to Sheng Kingdom, Baili Hongxuan had checked all the important people in the Sheng Kingdom's court, including Mo Yang.
Facts have proved that from beginning to end, Mo Yang had never told him a lie, and Baili Hongxuan would no longer be suspicious of him.
After the meal, the two of them strolled around the palace without any burden. When it was almost noon, they set off for the palace at a leisurely pace.
Originally, Mo Yang wanted to delay a little longer, but Baili Hongxuan insisted that he wanted to try the new glutinous rice and osmanthus cake from Chunyue Tower and wanted Mo Yang to buy it for him personally.
Although Mo Yang felt strange, he went to Chunyue Tower honestly, asked Baili Hongxuan to wait in the car, and went to the restaurant to queue up to buy a piece of osmanthus cake for him, and then slowly walked to the palace.
The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.
In addition to Mo Yuan's brothers and family members, those who came to attend were the families of several concubines with higher positions in the palace. Generally speaking, it was a family banquet.
However, none of the invited guests dared to offend Mo Yuan, and they all dressed up and arrived early.
By the time Mo Yang and Baili Hongxuan arrived, Mo Yuanguang had already drunk two rounds of tea, and the dissatisfaction on his face was almost unbearable.
"Your Majesty," As soon as Mo Yang and the others entered the Imperial Garden, King An Shiquan of the Southwest stood up and complained.
"War Prince Mo Yang defied the emperor's authority and bullied others with his power. He had no regard for the law. Not only did he deliberately arrive late at the imperial banquet, but yesterday my son only went to the palace to deliver him a note, but they beat him so badly that he hasn't woken up yet!"
An Shiquan said, his face full of grief and indignation, "I am loyal to the emperor and have no second thoughts, but the king of Zhan is bullying others by taking advantage of his power, which is really chilling. Therefore, today, even if I risk my life, I will seek justice for my son!"
Mo Yuan was sitting in the upper seat. When he heard that An Zuo had not woken up yet, his brows furrowed even more.
He sent the imperial physician to see him yesterday, but the physician had not returned to the palace until this morning, and he had not had time to ask about An Zuo's condition.
Who knew he was injured so badly?
An You, who was standing by, burst into tears at the right moment, pinching her handkerchief and sobbing softly, "Your Majesty, Zuo'er has been close to you since he was a child. Even though he is a little spoiled on weekdays, he is very protective of you.
I was beaten up after just one visit to Prince Zhan's mansion. As a sister, my voice is not important. Your Majesty, please make the decision for your brother!"
"Don't worry," Mo Yuan patted An You's hand, "An Zuo is my brother, I will never let him suffer any injustice."
After saying this, Mo Yang was pushed to the center of the banquet by Baili Hongxuan.
He looked around. Sitting on the left and right of Mo Yuan were Baili Yan'er and An You. On the lower left was An Shiquan, and on the lower right was Mo Yuan's half brother Mo Bin.
Further back were some familiar-looking ministers and a few brothers.
No matter how he looked at it, Mo Yang couldn't find the location of himself and Hongxuan.
He tapped the armrest of the wheelchair a few times and raised his eyebrows to look at Mo Yuan, "My royal brother invited me here but didn't reserve a seat for me. As his younger brother, I will be sad."
Although he said this, his expression did not show any sadness.
"Xiao Yang," Mo Yuan's face had darkened, and he raised his hand and nodded at him twice, "I heard that you allowed the Qi Lan country's hostage to fight against Prince An. Is this true?"
Baili Hongxuan didn't react when his name was called. He didn't let go of the wheelchair and glanced at the people around him calmly.
When he saw Baili Yan'er's eyes almost glued to Mo Yang, he blatantly glanced at her.
The eyes of everyone in the banquet hall were now focused on the two people in the center.
No one could ignore Baili Hongxuan's look.
Others thought that Baili Hongxuan had been at odds with the princess when he was in Qilan Kingdom. He couldn't control his emotions in such an occasion, so it seemed that the grudge between them must be deep.
Baili Yan'er didn't want to attract too much attention. Although she didn't understand where Baili Hongxuan's hostility towards her came from, she finally retracted her gaze and stopped looking at Mo Yang.
Mo Yang had his back to Baili Hongxuan. No one knew what he was doing. He rested his elbows on the armrests, supporting his head.
"My royal brother is really a forgetful person. Hongxuan is now my princess consort and my partner who will be included in the Mo family tree. As a member of the royal family, how can he be falsely accused?
That An Zuo was stupid. He ignored the housekeeper's advice and insisted on wandering around the palace. He bumped into a rock. Does he want my wife to take the blame?"
"You are slandering me!" King of the Southwest was so excited that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He stood up and said, "My son suffered a severe blow to the chest. How could he have done it by himself?!"
Mo Yang sneered.
In the eyes of the entire An family, Mo Yang was probably no different from a rebel, and they didn't regard him as a prince at all.
Even people in the palace can talk to me in this tone, no wonder An Zuo is so arrogant in the palace!
But Mo Yang's surname is Mo, and he is the most beloved son of the late emperor. Even if they look down on him, Mo Yang is also of the orthodox royal bloodline.
What is An Jia? If you really want to calculate, he is nothing more than a traitor who betrayed the previous emperor!
Mo Yang was too lazy to talk to a cow, and he didn't want to repeat An Zuo's disrespectful words in the palace and explain them to them.
Just hit me, so what?
"Xiao Yang," Mo Yuan said in a deep voice, "You are my brother, but if you make a mistake, you should have an attitude."
"Bai Li Hong Xuan injured Prince An, so it is only natural that the King of Southwest should seek justice from him. I suggest that you hand Bai Li Hong Xuan over to the King of Southwest for punishment. You apologize to him and I will protect you."
