Chapter 1009: Abandoned Enemy Country Proton 18
Ten miles away in Fengyue Pavilion, Yue Mocheng saw the table full of delicious food before he even walked in.
But no matter the fruits, vegetables, meat or rice, they are all intercepted Dayue supplies without exception.
And the glass of wine that Yun Yi poured out was the Drunken Immortal Red brewed from red fruits unique to Dayue, and there was no doubt that it was also robbed by them.
"Did you call me here just to show me your great achievements?"
Yue Mocheng never used to think that Yun Yi was a person who liked to show off his abilities and power, but his high-profile behavior in recent days had shattered his perception of him.
"Of course not. I'm here to send two people to His Highness the Eighth Prince."
Yun Yi waved his hand and the people behind him brought two people forward. Those two people were the ones he sent to the capital of Yun State.
"Eighth Prince, please do not worry about the affairs between our royal brothers in Yun Kingdom. I have returned these two people to you intact. This is also a way of repaying you for all the care you showed me in Dayue Palace."
Yun Yi smiled and poured a glass of wine in front of Yue Mocheng.
"I've heard of this Drunken Immortal Red before when I was in Dayue Palace. Now I finally have the chance to drink it. I'd like to offer a toast to His Highness the Eighth Prince."
Yue Mocheng glanced at the wine glass in front of him. The aroma of Zuixianhong wine was still there, but he had no desire to drink it.
"I wonder what Your Highness the Eighth Prince has thought about my previous proposal?" Yun Yi didn't care about Yue Mocheng's indifference and continued to ask.
"In fact, His Highness the Eighth Prince is well aware that the Dayue soldiers are already in disarray."
"Two days ago, I ordered some leftover sheep bones to be delivered to your barracks. Such provocations failed to arouse the soldiers' anger. Your Highness should no longer harbor any illusions about such soldiers."
Yun Yi asked someone to send the sheep bones over just to see the bloodiness of the Dayue soldiers.
Faced with the provocation of having their supplies robbed and having leftover bones sent to them, they did not dare to take up arms to resist, which was enough to show their fighting power and morale.
Yue Mocheng knew what Yun Yi said.
But he just couldn't bear to give up the land and city for nothing.
The palms hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, and his tense expression was in stark contrast to Yun Yi's relaxed and at ease look.
"Eighth Prince, there is actually no hatred between us two. We just have different positions."
Yue Mocheng snorted coldly when he heard this, "Isn't national hatred still hatred? Why didn't I see your hypocrisy before?"
"Well, if you say this is hatred, then it is hatred." Yun Yi did not argue with Yue Mocheng. He took out an exquisitely crafted invitation and handed it to him. "I will be inspecting the soldiers in the barracks tomorrow. If you are willing to come, I welcome you."
"Don't worry about this being a Hongmen Banquet where you're invited into a trap. Besides you, the Crown Prince of Qianfeng Kingdom and Prince Xiao will also be here to watch the military inspection."
The Crown Prince of Qianfeng Kingdom?
Qianfeng Kingdom borders Yun Kingdom and Dayue, but has always kept a low profile over the years. In addition to paying tribute to Dayue, it also trades with Dayue. Two years ago, the princess of Qianfeng Kingdom married into Dayue, making it a vassal state of Dayue.
Now that the Qianfeng Kingdom sees that Dayue’s military strength is gradually weakening, is it preparing to surrender to the Yun Kingdom?
And that Prince Xiao, the regent of Qianfeng Kingdom, has always been at odds with the Crown Prince of Qianfeng Kingdom. Why did he come here together?
Yun Yi didn't care what Yue Mocheng thought. He sent the people and the invitation there, and let Yue Mocheng see with his own eyes that the supplies that should have been sent to the Dayue military camp were taken by the Yun soldiers. Thus, the purpose of his trip was achieved.
He rode back to the Yun Kingdom military camp. As soon as he dismounted, a guard came forward and said:
"Your Highness, the Empress in the palace has sent news that His Majesty is about to die."
"It won't be impossible. Tell the Queen not to worry."
Yun Yi was still very confident about the old emperor's health, and the medicine he gave him was not enough to kill him.
If we just drag it out like this, it won’t be a problem for three to five years.
And in Fengyi Palace, no one would drug him with the Queen around, unless the Queen really hated what he had done over the years and no longer had any love for her as a couple and wanted to put an end to him.
However, based on Yun Yi's understanding of the queen, she probably wouldn't do that.
Indeed, if she got rid of the old emperor at this time, she could take the fake imperial edict that deposed him from the crown prince position and appointed the fourth prince as the heir apparent, and together with the Chen family members, support the fourth prince to ascend the throne as emperor.
But the queen was afraid that he was still in the military camp. She was afraid that Yun Yi would lead his troops to attack the capital, break into the palace, and take the lives of them and their son.
No matter what time, military power is hard currency.
Now Yun Yi holds the military power in his hands. Relying on these elite soldiers and generals, neither the Queen, the Fourth Prince, nor Yue Mocheng dare to act rashly.
-
"Mother, our father is truly pitiful. Please talk to Yun Yi and ask him to spare his life."
"Father wanted to take Yun Yi's life before, but didn't he come back alive from Dayue? Now he is the crown prince, why would he still treat father like this?"
In Fengyi Palace, the queen looked coldly at her own son who was pleading for the old emperor.
It was her fault. She had raised him to be too kind, so that now even his kindness seemed a little cruel.
"Mother, those palace servants are not serving father wholeheartedly at all. They only feed him rice soup every day. When will his illness be cured?" The fourth prince continued, as if he did not notice the queen's increasingly gloomy expression.
The Queen snorted coldly, "Since you want to be a good son to your father, then from now on you will serve him every day as a caring and filial son."
"Of course I am willing to take care of my father, but those palace servants only listen to you, mother, and I can't control them at all." The fourth prince said with embarrassment.
"That depends on your ability. If you can't even control the palace servants, it would be wishful thinking for me to expect you to ascend the throne."
The queen now agrees more and more with what Yun Yi said. Her son is simply not qualified to be the king of a country.
When the third and fifth brothers were around, if they didn't fight for it, they would have died. Now that Yun Yi is the crown prince, he has no grudge against them, so even if they don't fight, they can still enjoy a lifetime of wealth.
Yun Ge and Yun Yi's mother passed away many years ago. Even if Yun Yi ascended the throne to become emperor one day, that woman would only be posthumously honored. She would still be the one and only empress dowager.
"Father, I went to plead with the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect her to be so hard-hearted."
In the inner hall of Fengyi Palace, the Fourth Prince personally served the old emperor medicine, his face filled with sorrow. "But don't worry, Father. I will definitely find a chance to talk to my eighth brother and make him stop resenting you."
"I don't know when my eighth brother will be able to return to the capital. How about I go to the military camp to look for him?"
