The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

In the next few days, the atmosphere in the court became extremely strange.

The ministers formed groups and factions, and each of them tried to win over the princes.

Some of them advised His Majesty to release the Crown Prince, while others flattered the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince. Even the Eighth, Ninth, and Twelfth Princes were singled out for praise and admiration. The arrogant and unruly Eleventh Prince became a true character in the eyes of the ministers, and the sickly Fifteenth Prince also entered everyone's sight.

The only person who was not mentioned was the Sixth Prince Mo Li.

The situation in the court was tense. In Prince Li's mansion, Mo Li, who was "recuperating", was anxious and restless.

"Your Highness, judging from the situation, the Crown Prince will be released soon. This is not a good sign."

"For now, Your Majesty, why don't you go and ask for help from Prime Minister Qu? As long as he opens his mouth, how can those princes surpass you, their son-in-law?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. You and the Prime Minister are father-in-law and son-in-law. You are about to marry his only daughter. If he doesn't help you, who else can he help?"

His confidants also offered suggestions.

Mo Li's face was ugly, and he said unwillingly: "Do you think I don't want to? But Minister Qu always looks unhappy when he sees me. I don't know how I have offended him?"

"Your Majesty, as a father, I am always unhappy to see my son-in-law, not to mention that Qu Xiang loves his first wife deeply and regards his only daughter as the apple of his eye. But you are about to marry Qu Xiang's beloved daughter, so he is naturally upset and doesn't look at you well."

Hearing his subordinate's analysis make sense, Mo Li's eyes lit up, "Then what should I do to get closer to Prime Minister Qu?"

"This is easy to handle. Since Minister Qu is angry because you want to marry his beloved daughter, as long as you repeatedly promise him to treat the princess well and that you and your wife will visit him often, I believe Minister Qu will understand."

"Your Highness would be better off visiting the Princess at the Prime Minister's residence frequently, discussing court affairs occasionally, and venting your frustrations. If the Princess loves you very much, she will definitely take the initiative to ask the Prime Minister for an opportunity for you. Then, Your Highness will just need to wait quietly."

Mo Li had a solution in mind, with a smug look on his face, "Good idea, then I will go to visit the princess despite my serious illness."

Everyone in the study laughed out loud.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was as quiet as ever, except for those restless women.

Qu Xinzhu's injuries have healed, but in order to avoid being seen and to avoid the rumors outside, he has been hiding in the house and dares not go out.

When Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua saw this, they were also heartbroken.

"Mother, this is not a solution. If Prince Li knew the truth, he would come to cancel the engagement sooner or later. Zhu'er would be even more sad by then. Why don't I go out and get some information?"

"You can't go out!" Qu Wenshi hurriedly stopped her. "Although that damn girl pleaded for us in front of the unfilial son, he will inevitably regret it. If you go out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to come back."

They had finally managed to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and they must not be driven away now.

Hearing this, Wen Suhua had no choice but to give up.

"Mom, grandma, I decided to go out and get some information!" Finally, after a long ideological struggle, Qu Xinzhu made the decision.

Qu Wen wanted to persuade him again.

Qu Xinzhu said firmly: "Whether you stick your head out or hide it, you will be stabbed. I can't avoid what's coming. I don't believe that Li will leave me after knowing the truth. If that happens, you can only blame me, Qu Xinzhu, for misjudging her."

"Zhu'er, you are as stubborn as your mother." Qu Wenshi was very disappointed when she saw this.

Wen Suhua looked at her with tears in her eyes, "Go ahead, true love is not a crime, mother supports you."

Qu Xinzhu took heavy steps towards the unknown road.

At this time, Mo Li was waiting respectfully at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a gift box in his hand. After a man in black walked out and whispered something to the guards, the guards consciously made way.

Mo Li quickly bowed and thanked him.

As the saying goes, the prime minister is a seventh-rank official, not to mention that the prime minister is the powerful prime minister. He can't afford to offend any guard here.

Although the words are exaggerated, they are also true.

He walked anxiously inside. He didn't know how long he had walked in the huge mansion. Suddenly, he saw a woman in a purple gauze dress walking along the corridor.

That stunning profile haunted him, and he would naturally never forget it.

The next moment, he quickened his pace and chased after him.

"girl!"

He followed closely behind her, and the stunning woman took small steps forward. Soon, he caught up with her.

The stunning woman stopped and slowly turned around, her eyes slightly lowered to hide the hatred in her heart, and she whispered, "What do you want to call me for?"

"My lord..." As he got closer, the face became clearer and clearer. He murmured subconsciously, "My lord... I seem to have seen you somewhere before."

As soon as these words came out, the stunning woman sneered.

Mo Li hurriedly explained, "Miss, don't misunderstand me. I really did see you in my dream. In the past, I could only see your silhouette but not your face. Since I saw you last time, when I went to sleep at night, the face of the person in my dream gradually became clearer."

Qu Qingyan frowned slightly.

Thinking that she didn't believe him, Mo Li hurriedly said, "I am the current Sixth Prince, the Prince of Li personally appointed by His Majesty. I am definitely not a pervert. I hope the young lady will not misunderstand me."

"It turns out to be King Li." Qu Qingyan bowed lightly.

Mo Li was secretly proud of himself, thinking that she would change her attitude because of his identity, but he didn't expect that the next moment the stunning woman turned around and wanted to leave.

Mo Li hurriedly strode over and stood in front of him, "Young lady, since you are Zhu'er's sister, I will also treat you as my sister. You don't have to take the rumors outside seriously. When I return, I will definitely settle this matter and give you peace."

He was expecting gratitude and thanks from the stunning woman, but he only saw a sneer.

"I don't have a sister like Qu Xinzhu. And Your Highness Prince Li had better open your eyes and be a hero again." Qu Qingyan did not hide his sarcasm at all, and his contempt was evident.

Mo Li's face turned ugly in an instant. His kindness was taken as an insult. Although this woman was beautiful, her words were very rude. Just as Zhu'er said, she was too rude.

"It's okay for the young lady to speak so rudely, but Zhu'er is your elder sister, how can you treat her so lightly?"

"Sister?" Qu Qingyan looked at him as if he were a fool.

Now it seems that apart from the aura of being the protagonist, how can Mo Li compare to other princes?

In terms of intelligence, he is not as good as the fifth prince.

In terms of talent, the third prince is far superior to him.

Not to mention his forbearance, the fifteenth prince who pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger was much better than him.

The flower viewing banquet happened so many days ago. Even if someone tried to keep it a secret, it would still be difficult to stop the rumors. In the end, some rumors would still spread. Moreover, he didn't even notice anything wrong with Qu Xinzhu's abnormal behavior. He was extremely stupid.
