Chapter 656: Shu Yuanqi joins Old 9 and presents the Diting Dagger
Prince Nanyu's Palace.
A young man in gray cloth, dragging his slightly lame foot, knocked on the black door.
He was holding an inch-long rectangular box in his hand, and his face looked a little haggard and dejected.
The door opened, and it was Qin Yi, the steward of Prince Nanyu's Mansion, who came in.
He looked at the person who came, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
On the street outside the palace, Xuan Feng saw Shu Yuanqi enter the Nanyu Palace and then quickly left.
In Youxi Garden, Shu He stood up in shock, "Since you knew he was going to Baili Moyan's house, why didn't you stop him?"
Most of his brothers are fools. How could Lao Jiu possibly believe that Shu Yuanqi is truly loyal to him?
Baili Moqing held her hand, trying to calm her down, "Don't worry, Lao Jiu will believe it!"
Shu He looked at him, not understanding why he was so sure?
"Look at that box."
Shu He's gaze fell on the black wooden box lying quietly on the wooden table. What did it mean?
Could it be that there is not the Di Ting dagger in here?
She opened the box half-suspiciously, her pupils dilated.
It was empty inside!
The wooden box was made of purple sandalwood, so its weight exceeded that of an ordinary wooden box; this was also why Shu He thought there was something in the box when he received it.
Prince Nanyu's Palace.
Baili Moyan looked at the person who came, his eyes full of mockery and sarcasm.
"Why, seeing that the fourth master has fallen, Master Shu wants to find a new backer?"
Shu Yuanqi seemed not to understand the sarcasm in his words and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is indeed very smart! This proves that Yuanqi has not chosen the wrong person."
"You didn't find the wrong person?" Baili Moyan laughed. "Why does it sound so hard for me to believe what you said?"
"Your sister Shu He is about to get married to Old Seven. When that happens, you will be Old Seven's second uncle. With this kind of relationship, you will have no one to rely on. Shouldn't you go to Old Seven?"
His coming to see him made him feel that he had ulterior motives.
Shu Yuanqi's face showed a bit of embarrassment and awkwardness. "Your Highness, I've actually thought about this as well. But, you may not know, my sister Shu He is a vindictive person! She was the one who forced Yue'er and my mother to death!"
"When we were little, I said a lot of mean things to her. I often scolded and beat her, and even laughed at her for being ugly. She already hated me to the core!"
"When she returned to Kyoto this time, I found out she was pregnant with Prince Li's child, so I went to look for her immediately."
"I wanted to reconcile with her and rely on Prince Li's support to restore the Shu family's glory. But that Shu He is so stubborn!"
"Not only did she not listen to my explanation, she also warned me that she would never forgive me for what I had done to her..."
Baili Moyan listened quietly. He had heard of these things.
And it seems that his "Seventh Sister-in-law" is not someone who repays evil with kindness.
Shu Yuanqi continued, "And last time, I said a lot of... uh, bad things on the street to show my loyalty to the Fourth Prince. My eldest brother and third sister are now wishing I were dead! How could they possibly let me cling to Prince Li's thigh?"
Baili Moyan looked at him, his eyes full of scrutiny, as if he was looking for some flaws.
"Besides, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, I heard that my sister Yue'er is at your house!"
"The whole Kyoto knows about you and Yue'er. After all, aren't you also my brother-in-law? In this way, whether it is the Seventh Prince or the Ninth Prince, aren't they..." the same!
"Shut up!" Baili Moyan shouted angrily, interrupting him.
Shu Yuanqi's smirking and complacent expression filled Baili Moyan's eyes with disgust and humiliation.
How dare he bring up that matter in front of him!
And I'm proud of it!
Did he really come to seek refuge with him?
Are you sure you're not here to rub salt into his wounds?
Shu Yuanqi was startled by the angry rebuke. The slight pride on his face instantly disappeared, and his expression became timid, as if he was afraid that Baili Moyan would vent his anger on him.
Seeing him like this, the anger in Baili Moyan's eyes dissipated a little, and he was more confused.
How could such a cowardly rat have the nerve to come here and say he wanted to join him?
What made him think he would take him in? Trust him?
Forget it, this kind of person is not worth wasting his energy on.
"Qin Yi, show the guests out!"
After hearing this, Shu Yuanqi was obviously stunned for a moment, until the housekeeper Qin Yi came over and made a "please" gesture, he came back to his senses.
"No, Your Highness, I am Yue'er's second brother! Why are you chasing me away?"
"I can help you!"
"Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it! I'm very obedient! The Fourth Prince was also..."
"Shut up~!" Baili Moyan's brows were filled with impatience, and he couldn't help but drag out a long tail tone in his curse.
How could Shu Yuanqi be so stupid? Are he and Shu He really from the same mother?
Why is there such a big gap?!
He came to him for help, but he kept talking about how he helped the fourth brother!
Didn't he know that he was there when the Fourth Prince forced the emperor to abdicate? Didn't he know that he was almost chopped down by the Fourth Prince's Yonghua Army that day?
He can't even negotiate. Why keep this idiot around?
Do you want to eat free rice?
The person in the hands of the fourth brother, Rong Xia, has already caused him to suffer enough losses!
If there were another Shu Yuanqi, who knew if he would be killed by his stupidity?
"Qin Yi, throw him out!"
He was too lazy to talk to him anymore and just ordered someone to throw Shu Yuanqi out. But the moment he stood up, Shu Yuanqi resisted fiercely and the wooden box in his hand fell to the ground.
Shu Yuanqi was startled and said quickly, "That's right! Your Highness, I've brought a gift! Please take a look!"
He just said that Baili Moyan was his brother-in-law, but now he calls himself a "villain".
Shu Yuanqi's ability to change his face is quite impressive!
Baili Moyan only glanced at the wooden box and saw that it was made of cheap pine wood, so he didn't have any expectations for it.
He left without looking back, but stopped after Shu Yuanqi's last words.
"Ninth Prince, that is the Fourth Prince's dagger! He left it for his concubine Fu Qingrong and asked her to take it to the Left Prime Minister!"
Baili Moyan turned around and stared at the box, with an unfathomable light flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Guan He stepped forward and picked up the box.
As soon as they opened, his pupils contracted uncontrollably.
"Isn't this the Tianxing Dagger that the Emperor gave to Prince Li five years ago?!"
Back then, the Second Prince died from this dagger!
How did this dagger end up in Shu Yuanqi's hand?
Baili Moyan walked over in two steps and took the dagger in his hand.
The scabbard opened, and a unique snake-shaped dagger appeared before his eyes.
