Chapter 18: Entering the Palace (2)"Stop! Who is it!?"
Outside the Imperial Palace, the guards by the gates blocked the carriage of Prince Jing"s Manor. Meanwhile, Mo Youyou, who was inside the carriage, pulled the curtains open. She stared at the guards blocking the road. She was extremely curious.
Prince Jing"s men presented the token of the Manor. The guards saw it and quickly stepped aside, lowering their heads, indicating for the carriage to enter.Seeing that, Mo Youyou closed the curtain and looked at the respectful Yue Er who sat upright and thought of a plan in her mind.
Yue Er had been with Mo Youyou for a long time, and upon seeing this, she carefully asked Mo Youyou.
"Miss, are you targeting Prince Jing"s Manor"s order badge?"
Mo Youyou was shocked, "How did you know?"
"Every time you think about something, your two thumbs and index fingers would constantly cross each other. What"s more, just now, this servant saw that your line of sight was on that command medallion."
"Ohh. Well, we have to find a way to get that medallion. It"s not a problem for those people to travel in and out of the Imperial City. But if we get it, in the future, we can go wherever we want to go!"
Yue Er frowned."But Miss, that order badge is on that guard"s body. Prince Jing"s men are all experts in martial arts. We cannot get close, much less get our hands on it."
"Eh? You don"t understand, do you, Yue Er? In this world, where problems are solved by force, Intelligence is still essential. We will not use strength, but we"ll do it with wisdom!
Mo Youyou doesn"t know if the fighting techniques that she had learned before like Taekwondo, and Judo can be useful with her current body. So she had to find a place without people to practice in for the next two days. If she indeed lost her abilities, then she would have to train her martial arts.
Yue Er pouted and said:
"Miss, even if we wanted to use force, you couldn"t. Amongst all of Mo"s Residence"s young misses, your martial arts are the worst."
"Who said that?""This was concluded during last year"s compet.i.tion when General Mo went back to the residence to select one of the young misses to be the Crown Prince"s concubine."
"Crown Prince"s Consort? Why would they conduct a selection in General Mo"s Residence?"
Yue Er replied in a low voice,
"General Mo once went through a life and death struggle with the previous emperor, he holds great military might, so the Emperor is naturally wary of him. If he were to marry one of the young misses to the Crown Prince, then the Emperor will not worry about the Mo Residence having second thoughts towards the Helian Family, and the position of the Crown Prince will be more stable as well."
Of course, Mo Youyou knows this. The reason why the Emperor gave the best martial arts education to the Prince was that the Crown Prince"s standing and status were too striking, and could undoubtedly bring disaster. The second reason was that once a Young Miss of Mo"s Residence became the Crown Prince"s concubine, he would have no problem protecting himself.
The reason why the rest of the young misses got betrothed to the other princes was to balance the rights and interests between the princes and to disperse General Mo"s Residence"s power.
This Emperor was truly scheming! General Mo would naturally choose his most powerful daughter to be the Crown Prince"s Concubine because he was worried that she would get harmed. Just that, why were her martial arts the worst? Sighing to herself, Mo Youyou sat in front of Yue Er, lost in thought.
The carriage turned and turned before finally arriving at Chang Ning Palace. Chang Ning Palace was the Empress"s chambers. Outside of the coach, a cold voice rang."Hurry up and come down!"
Mo Youyou, who was still in a daze, quivered and abruptly stood up.
"Ah! Hey..."
Helian Yi frowned when he heard her scream, he did not know what was happening to Mo Youyou.
Suddenly, Mo Youyou came out holding her forehead. She stared at Helian Yi and complained,"It"s all because of you that my head touched the roof!"
