Yan Shuo was also sizing up Mo Rong Tian. Ever since he was escorted to the capital two months ago, he had never planned to meet Mo Rong Tian, and had never made a decision regarding his judgement.
Mo Rong Tian was somewhat similar to Yun Jiao Rong. When Yan Shuo saw him, he could still clearly remember Yun Jiao Rong's appearance.
"I heard you want to see me?"
Yan Shuo was the first to speak, he pointed to the chair in the hall, and indicated for him to sit.
After Mo Rong Tian took his seat, he immediately said: "Thank you for treating Rong Er nicely."
When Yan Shuo talked about Yun Jiao Rong, his eyes dimmed a little, but then recovered its indifference.
"Rong Er is our wife and our son's mother. We naturally have to treat her well."
However, Yan Shuo's words made Mo Rong Tian's heart hurt.
Rong Er was his sister, but she was forced to death because of him. If he had never met her in the past, he would rather have let her be the lone daughter of the Tutor Yun.
The children she gave birth to also had the blood of the Mo family, wasn't that good?
However, his sister had been forcibly killed.
"Other than this, what else do you have to say to me?"
Yan Shuo looked at Mo Rong Tian and asked.
Mo Rong Tian kneeled down in front of him, his expression not one bit humble. "I will take responsibility for the rebellion myself, and allow the Emperor to punish me as he pleases. I only hope that the Emperor will let go of those people who followed me."
"Why should I listen to you?"
Yan Shuo snorted. In the end, Rong Er being forced to death had something to do with this brother of his!
Mo Rong Tian stayed silent for a few seconds, not saying a word. That's right, he was only a prisoner now, what right did the other party have to listen to him?
Yan Shuo looked at Mo Rong Tian, a little angry in his heart.
He was Rong Er's blood brother, if she let him die, would Rong Er blame him? After he dies, would she still be willing to see him?
If he was not executed, the ministers in the court would clamor and not let him go.
"Do you really want to die that badly?"
Yan Shuo asked him with a cold face.
Mo Rong Tian paused for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Yan Shuo, and suddenly laughed at himself, "Now, do I have the choice to live or die?"
If they could live, who would be willing to die?
If the Kaiser could really be that free, then how would Ruo Qing be executed.
Yan Shuo choked on his question, he did not know how to answer.
That's right, even he may not be able to make a decision, let alone Mo Rong Tian.
Mo Rong Tian did not wait for him to reply and changed the request, "Can I see royal eldest son?"
That was his nephew, the only bloodline his sister had left behind. Before dying, he would die without regrets if he could see his nephew once.
Yan Shuo said with a cold face, "Xun Er's health is not good, he is recuperating in longevity palace, it is not good to see outsiders."
To Mo Rong Tian, the word "outsiders" was a little harsh, but he could not refute a single word that they said.
Xun Er's bad health was also caused by him.
If he had been more resolute back then, and lived the rest of his life under the infamy of being disloyal and unfilial, there wouldn't have been that war, and wouldn't have been so many citizens displaced by the war. He wouldn't have been forced to take the poison and die when he was hungry, and he wouldn't have to suffer such torture when he was young because he was poisoned by poison in his mother's womb.
This uncle of his simply wasn't worthy of being called uncle. He could only be an outsider.
"If you have no other things to do, then go back first. Someone, send him back to the Sky Prison."
Mo Rong Tian slowly stood up, not fighting for his life. The moment the guard entered, he turned around and walked out.
At this time, a person hurriedly entered the room and met him face to face. Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Two months had passed and Mo Rong Tian didn't think that he would still be able to see her again. The moment he saw her, his eyes unconsciously lit up, and he called out, "Meng Hui."
Meng Hui looked at him, then forced a smile and nodded, "Long time no see."
Under his seemingly calm face was an uncontrollable nervousness and nervousness. His hands, which were hidden under his sleeves, were slightly clenched.
"Mm. Long time no see."
Other than this, Mo Rong Tian didn't know what else to say. He was someone who was about to die, so this was the only thing he could say.
"I... I went in to look for the Emperor. "
Meng Hui pointed to the inner hall and said to Mo Rong Tian. Then, without waiting for Mo Rong Tian to speak, she quickly walked in, afraid that he would see the faint flush that appeared in her eyes.
Looking at her hurried back figure, he recalled the first time he saw Meng Hui, the intimate relationship she had with him, and an indescribable feeling in her heart.
However, in the end, he did not show it. Under the escort of the imperial guards, he left the study room.
"Why are you here?"
Yan Shuo raised his head from the report, glanced at Meng Hui and casually asked.
Meng Hui walked to Yan Shuo and knelt down, "Your majesty, please spare Mo Rong Tian's life."
Seeing that Meng Hui was here to plead for, Yan Shuo was a little surprised, he did not know that Meng Hui had this kind of relationship with him.
"You came all the way from Fringe City just to plead for him?"
The expression in Meng Hui's eyes flickered slightly. She inexplicably felt a little guilty, and after being silent for two seconds, she still replied, "Yes."
"Why? "How did I not know when your relationship was so good?"
Meng Hui looked up at him, pursed her lips, scratched her head and stuttered: "It's not that good, it's just that... I'm the one who always knows how to repay favors, Little White … I mean, Mo Rong Tian, he … He saved my life, so I was reasonable and had to come to plead for him, no? "
Her eyes looked at Yan Shuo in anticipation, only to see Yan Shuo casually tossing the imperial report on the table, then looking at her, he said: "He's the one who plotted against us. What's the use of you begging him?
If he could, he wouldn't have ordered his Ninth Aunt to be beheaded in that situation and caused the relationship between him and Ninth Uncle to become more and more distant.
"But …" But aren't you the Emperor? "
Yan Shuo looked at him and laughed. In his laughter, there was a hint of self-mockery, "That's right, wasn't it precisely because we are Kaiser?"
He was the Kaiser, so he couldn't do as he pleased. If he could, then who would be the Kaiser?
"You can go back, and we will decide what to do with Mo Rong Tian."
"Your Majesty …"
Meng Hui did not give up. She still wanted to speak, but she was stopped by a glare from Yan Shuo, "If you continue to disturb us here, we will have someone behead Mo Rong Tian today."
With that, Meng Hui turned and walked out of the royal study.
From entering the capital until now, she had endured for an entire two months before coming to plead for Mo Rong Tian.
