The beautiful and powerful minister hooked up with the crazy emperor and couldn't escape

In South City, less than a hundred kilometers away from the capital, Mo Ling pinched his brows and tried to make his voice more stable: "How is my brother?"

The imperial physician bowed to Mo Ling and said, "Your Majesty, the poison that the prince has been poisoned with is unprecedented. There is no suitable antidote for the time being. We can only suppress it with medicine."

Mo Ling frowned tightly, his eyes filled with worry. "Post an imperial edict to offer a reward for a famous doctor. Anyone who can cure my brother will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

"Yes!"

The man on the bed slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "Ah Ling, there is no need to do this. I am also difficult to cure from Chen Ke. One more poison is nothing. I am lucky to survive today."

The person on the bed had a pale face and coughed lightly from time to time, but he smiled with curved eyebrows and a gentle look on Mo Ling's face.

"My royal brother, don't talk nonsense. You have to live until I am seventy or eighty years old, and watch me govern Dai Viet so that the country will be peaceful and prosperous."

The man stretched out his hand to smooth Mo Ling's frown and chuckled, "Why are you frowning so hard? I know my body and I won't die. Ah Ling, you don't have to look so sad. If you really want to do this, it won't be too late to cry after I die."

"Royal brother!" Mo Ling frowned and looked at the man with disapproval.

The man shook his head and smiled, "Alright, alright, I won't say any more. You have a gloomy face every day, no wonder you can't get married. Those noble ladies from aristocratic families would be scared to tears just by looking at you. I don't know when Great Vietnam will have a crown prince."

After saying that, he coughed a few more times, and his originally pale face turned a little red due to coughing.

Mo Ling patted his back to calm him down, and said helplessly: "When the emperor's sister-in-law's child is born, Da Yue will have a crown prince."

The person who was coughing suddenly stopped coughing and kicked Mo Ling: "Get lost! If you want a son, go give birth to him yourself, don't try to steal my son away!"

Mo Ling didn't dodge, and said with a smile: "Didn't my brother say before that your son is my son? If so, when my sister-in-law gives birth, won't Great Yue have a crown prince?"

"Get lost! I'm so annoyed just by looking at you. Go to the talent show and choose as many sons as you want! I only have this one son, don't even think about taking advantage of him!"

Mo Ling shook his head and said with a sigh, "No, I have already met someone I like, but he can't have a son. So you have to work harder, my brother, so that Dayue can have a crown prince soon."

Mo Wenjun, who was lying on the bed, was surprised for a moment, then laughed and said, "That young lady was blind for you to fancy her. You have a dull personality and a serious mysophobia. That girl is going to suffer."

Mo Ling automatically ignored Mo Wenjun's teasing tone and simply said, "Not a girl."

"no--"

Mo Wenjun's eyes widened in disbelief: "A Ling, you actually like men?!"

"I don't like men." Mo Ling frowned.

Mo Wenjun's eyes almost popped out: "So you like someone who is neither male nor female? Could it be that he is a eunuch? "

"No." Mo Ling continued to deny.

Mo Wenjun pointed at Mo Ling and was speechless: "You-you-you don't like a human? I didn't realize that you are so harsh!"

Mo Ling frowned again: "What are you thinking about, my brother? The person I like is called Ming Qing, and my brother has also met him."

Mo Wenjun asked doubtfully, "Mingqing? I have no impression of you. When have I seen you before?"

"At the palace banquet three years ago, he single-handedly forced the Nanzhao envoys to retreat. Does my royal brother have any impression of him?"

Mo Wenjun thought carefully for a while, then looked at Mo Ling and said seriously: "If I remember correctly, that person was Iris, not Mingqing."

Mo Ling chuckled and said, "Ming Qing, you are the Iris from that year."

"Nonsense!"

Mo Wenjun stared at Mo Ling and said anxiously, "Everyone knows that Iris is the Grand Tutor's favorite. Do you think that since the Grand Tutor has retired, you can snatch her from him? You are so confused!"

"The Grand Master's Youyun Army is still here, and there are many of the Grand Master's followers in the court. What if the Grand Master holds a grudge against you? What will you do?"

Mo Ling shook his head and said, "No, the Grand Master only said that Iris was his pet in order to protect her. He had no actual relationship with her. And now he is Ming Qing, not Iris."

The more anxious Mo Wenjun became, the more he coughed. He wanted to speak but couldn't, and instead he coughed loudly.

"Brother Emperor!"

Mo Ling shouted to the outside: "Where's the medicine? It's not ready yet!"

Mo Wenjun grabbed Mo Ling and recovered after a while: "Ah Ling, it is natural for you to be attracted to a person like Iris who has both talent and skills, but he is after all a subordinate of the Grand Tutor. Even if he and the Grand Tutor have never had that kind of relationship, do you really think you can trust him?"

"When the previous emperor passed away, there were many healthy princes besides you and me. Why did he choose you, a fool, to ascend the throne? Then he pretended to be affectionate and asked a famous doctor to treat you. Who would have thought that he cured you by accident?"

"He has been retired for only a year, but he has already sent Iris to you, A-Ling. Can't you see what he is thinking?"

Mo Ling was silent for a while, but decided to tell Mo Wenjun what was in his mind: "Brother, I don't think the Grand Master is a person who is greedy for power. If he really had that idea, he could have easily made me a puppet emperor, but he didn't. He even took the initiative to retire after I took power. And I have been with him for three years, and I think I am familiar with the Grand Master."

Mo Wenjun sighed: "A Ling, have you ever thought that maybe everything you saw was just what he wanted to show you? I have to remind you, A Ling, you have to be more cautious than others in that position. You know how many people are coveting your position, you must be on guard."

Mo Ling lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, brother. I know."

After that, Mo Ling smiled bitterly again: "I am not afraid that my brother will know. I only know how deep the entanglements between officials and businessmen and officials protecting each other can be when I went on a secret visit this time. Even I, as an emperor, failed to protect the person I love."

"Is this true? Why do you say that?" Mo Wenjun's face showed a serious look and he couldn't help but cough again.

Mo Ling handed the tea to Mo Wenjun and said slowly, "The governor of Suizhou colluded with wealthy businessmen to privately mine silver, and beat and exhausted more than 500 people to death in the mine! The Xitai Tower opened by the uncle of the King of Zhao kidnapped and sold more than a thousand men and women, forcing them into prostitution. The owner of the Xitai Tower, who used despicable and cruel methods, has not been caught yet!

"Moreover, I suspect that the mastermind behind these two cases is most likely the same person!"

Mo Wenjun paused for a moment while holding the teacup, and asked in surprise, "Really? The owner of Xitai Tower is the uncle of King Zhao. There is someone who can order the uncle Zhao. The person behind this is not simple. Does A Ling have any information about this person behind this?"

Mo Ling shook his head, his brows furrowed, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Except for knowing that he has the Feihualou organization in his hands, there is no other information. He is hiding too deeply. He also captured Ming Qing under the strict protection of the Qianlong Guards. Even if I almost turned Suizhou City upside down, I couldn't find any information at all!"

Mo Wenjun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his eyes and stared at Mo Ling and said, "There are not many people who can do this, but there is one person who definitely meets the requirements, Grand Master."

"Iris was originally his man, and he wanted to take him away. With the Grand Master's martial arts, it is not difficult for him to avoid the Hidden Dragon Guards. There are also many people with strong martial arts around the Grand Master, and those people are not from the Youyun Army. They are likely from the Jianghu organization."
