Chapter 575: Was it his order regarding the Xiangfu Flower Banquet, or did you act on your own?
"You shouldn't have chosen to confront me in Tongle Hall. This is equivalent to giving up my life!"
All the emotions on Baili Moyin's face calmed down.
If there is anyone in this world who can move him, then the dead second brother is the only one in this world!
As long as they are not the second brother, he will treat everyone the same. He will never hesitate to use anyone he can use!
This is what he learned from Emperor Qiwen.
Baili Moqing smiled, his smile was extremely sarcastic, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his deep eyes.
"why are you laughing?"
Baili Moyin hated this kind of smile of his, it was irritating and unsettling to look at.
"Do you think I'm just pretending to provoke you?" He sneered and explained, "The conversation we had alone in Tongle Hall will soon reach the ears of the Emperor. Do you think he will guess what you were asking me?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that in my father's heart, I am indeed more reassuring than you!"
"As long as I tell him that you have doubts about what happened that year, do you think he will choose to kill you or me?"
The cold voice, every word spoke of the royal family's ruthlessness and indifference.
Shu He's heart beat uncontrollably faster, and a hint of worry crept into his bright eyes.
If the emperor knew about this, he might really kill Baili Moqing as the fourth brother said!
Yes, why didn’t she think of this before?
She looked at Baili Moqing. He looked very calm, showing no significant emotional fluctuations. But Shu He knew that he was not worried about this matter.
Could it be that he has already prepared for this?
The hall was so quiet that one could almost hear the different rhythms of several people's heartbeats.
"You do not believe?"
Baili Moyin was a little anxious. What he hated most was seeing him so calm and composed, as if everything in the world was under his control!
Baili Moqing shook his head. "It's not that I don't believe it, but he won't know about it."
Baili Moyin looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean? Nothing in this palace can be hidden from him!"
How could he not know?
"I have to thank you and Empress Defei for this!" Baili Moqing smiled, making the person opposite him even more uneasy.
He continued, "Didn't you notice that such a big thing happened in Tongle Hall today, but Lao Jiu and Concubine Ming were not present?"
Baili Moyin's face changed as he remembered what happened in the evening when his mother provoked Fu Qingrong.
Could it be that my father has been attracted by what’s happening over there?
"It seems you have guessed it."
"Yes, it's your princess, Fu Qingrong."
"Fu Qingrong started a disturbance in Yuxiu Palace and even got into a fight with Concubine Ming. After our father left Tongle Hall, he was invited to Yuxiu Palace."
"I heard that Fu Qingrong revealed a lot of Old Nine's secrets in front of many palace servants..."
"She told me everything she knew about Lao Jiu and Zhu Zifeng, the Xiangfu Flower Banquet, anything related to Lao Jiu!"
"I really didn't expect that Concubine De would have such a trick. Zizhan's tooth was used to break up Fu Qingrong with her family. It's really amazing!"
"But, Fourth Brother, are you sure that using Fu Qingrong like this won't backfire in the end?"
Baili Moyin frowned, a dangerous look on his face, "What do you mean by that?"
What is he hinting at?
"I don't mean anything special." He chuckled and brought the subject back. "I just want to tell you that my father doesn't have the energy to care about you right now."
"When he hears about what happened today, it will be too late..."
Baili Moyin's face turned pale.
Could it be that his father won't even give him a few days?
He lowered his eyes, a struggle on his face, and finally raised them again, looking at Baili Moqing, "Since we are all going to die, why should I hand over the Di Ting dagger to you?"
"Fourth Brother, are you trying to negotiate terms with me?"
Baili Moyin looked at him, "Can't you?"
After all, he still has what he wants in his hand!
Baili Moqing's eyes flickered as he smiled and said, "But based on what you did to me and my second brother, do you think I can really let you go?"
"That depends on whether you want the Di Ting Dagger!" Baili Moyin's face was full of confidence, and he felt that Baili Moqing would compromise.
"Although you've returned to Beijing and seemingly cleared your name, as long as the fatal wounds on Old Two remain unexplained, they will become a thorn in the hearts of the people. Every time something bad happens about you, their subconscious will remind them that you're still suspected of killing Old Two!"
"Even now, with all the civil and military officials in the court, do you really think everyone believes in you?"
"But if you have the Dagger of Divine Listening, it would be different. It was that unique Dagger of Divine Listening that convicted you!"
"But once the world knows that the Skywalker Dagger is not unique in this world, your suspicion will naturally be cleared!"
"This is also the most important reason why you asked me to listen to the dagger, isn't it?"
Baili Moyin talked freely, as if he had guessed what was in Baili Moqing's mind.
The two people's eyes met in the air, seemingly silent, but as if shaking the earth.
After a long while, Baili Moqing said, "Okay. I'll keep you safe for ten days."
Baili Moyin's eyes darkened.
Ten days?
That should be enough.
Before leaving, Baili Moqing seemed to remember something and turned back to look at him, "One more thing."
There was a look of struggle and confusion on his face, but he finally asked.
"Did he give the order for the Xiangfu Flower Banquet, or did you act on your own?"
This question made Baili Moyin stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, "Seventh Brother, how do you think your reputation compared to the second brother back then?"
Baili Moqing didn't say anything. He didn't want to hear any roundabout nonsense!
Seeing the displeasure on his face, Baili Moyin stopped beating around the bush. "In this world, anyone who can threaten his position, he will ruthlessly destroy and break them, making that 'threat' disappear forever."
"I'm still quite fortunate. At least, the way he dealt with me was much cleaner than the way he dealt with you."
Although it's not so clean for him. But with a reference point, there is always a difference between high and low, right?
The night was dark, like a wild beast with a bloody mouth, waiting for food in the darkness, wanting to tear everything apart.
It is clearly the end of spring and the beginning of summer, a season that should be warm, but it makes people feel extremely cold.
