The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, with stars shining all around.

Inside the study, Mo Li was sitting around the table with a few of his confidants, discussing court affairs.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, it would be best if you and Miss Qu's marriage is put on the agenda as soon as possible, so that Prime Minister Qu will help you as a son-in-law and seek a favorable position in the court. Although you have been named a prince, you have no real power. You must enter the court as soon as possible and get ahead of other princes before you can accomplish great things."

"That's right, Your Majesty. Prime Minister Qu has not yet chosen a prince. Although His Majesty has granted you and Miss Qu a marriage, it may be easy to change. You should marry Miss Qu into the mansion as soon as possible and make her your mistress. This way, your relationship will be ironclad, and you don't have to worry about other princes getting in the way. We can also make plans for the future early."

"Prime Minister Qu holds great power, controls the court and the military, but has no offspring to inherit the throne, only Miss Qu. He loves his daughter dearly, and Your Majesty would like to be her son-in-law. As long as you treat Miss Qu sincerely, I am willing to grant you the throne. Prime Minister Qu will certainly help you with all his strength and lend you a helping hand. Once Prime Minister Qu joins, the outcome of this battle for the throne will no longer be in suspense. Even the Crown Prince and the Third Prince will only be defeated by you!"

"He who gets the Prime Minister's help will get the world! This is not just talk. Although the prince is weak and cannot compare to the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, as long as he marries the Prime Minister's daughter, the outcome will be decided. But it's strange to say that the Third Prince and the prince have always been at odds, and he even wanted to compete with you for Miss Qu before, but why is there no movement now? Is he brewing some conspiracy again?"

Mo Li had already made plans for what his confidant had said, especially his wedding to Qu Xinzhu, which had been planned several months in advance.

He told everyone, and everyone was happy.

As for the movements of the other princes, he didn't care much and replied quite proudly: "The marriage between me and Zhu'er was granted by His Majesty and approved by the Prime Minister. Even if the Third Prince has great skills, he cannot change it."

Thinking of the difficulties Mo Yaohe had been in these days, he just regarded it as envy, jealousy and hatred.

After all, only if he is better than the other party can he arouse the other party's jealousy.

"That's right. Now that things have come to this, what can the Third Prince do no matter how angry he is? He can't come back to assassinate the prince, so just take his place." A hearty confidant laughed.

The others laughed too.

Mo Li raised his thin lips, "I actually hope the Third Prince is like this. I'm worried that I won't have a chance to bring him down."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door was kicked open and a group of men in black rushed in with swords and knives.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked.

Mo Li quickly drew out the long sword hanging on the wall and resisted stubbornly.

The confidants also took up weapons to fight.

After the fight, the tables and chairs in the room were all toppled over and became a mess.

In the end, they were outnumbered and all were seriously injured.

Mo Li was the most serious one, as he was stabbed in the chest and his limbs were cut several times by sharp blades.

"Who... did you send to assassinate me?" Mo Li covered his chest and looked at the other party angrily.

Just at this moment, the guards from the palace rushed over.

The men in black looked at each other and then flew away.

"My lord, are you okay?"

When the guards arrived it was too late. Prince Li was already seriously injured, and several of his confidants were also injured to varying degrees.

The servant hurried to call the doctor.

"Go, take my sign and go to the palace to invite the imperial physician!" Mo Li gritted his teeth, his face full of twisted resentment.

He was determined to make a big deal out of this and find out the real culprit behind it.

The servant left in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, it must have been done by another prince. You have recently been crowned a prince and are planning to marry Prime Minister Qu's legitimate daughter. You are bound to be envied."

King Li's eyes burst with intense hatred, "I know who it is! No one wants me to die more than him. Let him take my place."

"The Third Prince?" the confidants said in unison.

Mo Li sneered, "He still thought that I was still an abandoned child in the cold palace. Fine! I will let him see my strength!"

After he finished speaking, he endured the severe pain and gave instructions to several trusted confidants.

All the confidants responded in unison.

In the backyard, after Qu Xinzhu sent Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua away, he was just about to go to bed when he saw the maid coming hurriedly.

"Miss, something bad has happened. An assassin has just entered the palace. His Highness Prince Li has been seriously injured and has fainted."

Hearing the maid's words, Qu Xinzhu immediately asked for details anxiously.

The maids told her everything.

Qu Xinzhu changed her clothes and ran out in a panic.

Walking around the corridor, she came to the main courtyard where Mo Li lived.

When she reached the door, she saw maids carrying basins of blood, which shocked her.

"Leave!"

Qu Xinzhu rushed in. When she saw the handsome man lying on the bed with a pale face and serious injuries, tears welled up in her anxious eyes. "Li, are you seriously injured? Who did this? I will never let him go!"

Mo Li moved his lips weakly but no words came out.

The imperial physician beside him said, "Prince Li's limb injuries will heal in a few days, but the fatal chest injury has been controlled now, but we still need to wait for a reexamination tomorrow to know whether it is safe or not."

"Thank you, Doctor Wang." Mo Li thanked him weakly.

Doctor Wang told him to have a good rest and then left with his medicine box.

Qu Xinzhu looked at the white cloth bandaged on the man's chest, and reached out to touch it distressedly, but held back. She wiped her tears and said, "Li, who hurt you like this?"

"Zhu'er, I'm fine." Mo Li slowly raised his hand, wanting to wipe her tears, but the pain was unbearable, so he dropped it again. He continued, "It's just my brothers who are fighting for power and throne, and they are killing each other."

"You mean the third prince?" Qu Xinzhu has been brainwashed by Mo Li these days and is no longer as brainless as before. She has heard a lot about Mo Hehe bullying him, so her impression of the third prince has gradually faded.

She and Mo Li were on the same side, sharing the same hatred and facing the enemy together.

Mo Li smiled bitterly, "Apart from my good brother, who else could be so vicious? This time he wants to kill me directly so that he can take my place and marry you, Zhu'er, and become the son-in-law of Prime Minister Qu. His ambition is so great that I am really intimidated."

"He's dreaming! I will never like any other man except Li." Qu Xinzhu held his hand and spoke affectionate words.

Mo Li was deeply moved. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said reluctantly, "Zhu'er, why don't you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first? An assassin has appeared in Prince Li's Mansion, and I am worried that you will be implicated. There are many experts in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they will definitely keep you safe."
