Mo Qin Yi appeared from behind the guards with smug smile hung on his lips. "What is happening here? Don"t you know there is a motion in front of the imperial hall? And there is someone who has kidnapped imperial concubine Lin Xinyang?" He asked while staring at Xiao Jun.There were four men behind Mo Qin Yi who were holding torches to light his road as the shadow of the fire, dancing on the surface of his face, turned him more vicious than his usual expression.
"Crown prince Mo Qin Yi." The chief guard knelt in front of Mo Qin Yi as he glanced arrogantly at Xiao Jun.
Since Mo Qin Yi was here, he wanted to see how this abandoned prince rejected his order to check on his courtyard now.
It was so ridiculous that Xiao Jun thought he could have the upper hand inside the Rockstone Palace. The chief guard scoffed inwardly and looked up at Mo Qin Yi expectantly. "Prince Xiao Jun refuses us to step inside his courtyard and check if the kidnapper of imperial concubine Lin Xinyang is inside, this is also for Prince Xiao Jun"s safety, if something is about to happen to him in our territory, who will take the responsibility?" The chief guard boat- licked Mo Qin Yi attentively.
Mo Qin Yi flicked his sleeves as he gestured for the chief guard to stand up, the chief guard"s facial expression turned brighter and thanked the Crown Prince before he stood up and stayed by his side.
Mo Qin Yi looked at Xiao Jun straight to his eyes when he replied. "Prince Xiao Jun, you heard what the chief guard was saying. This is for your safety too, so why don"t you let them to do what they supposed to do?"
"I will let them in if they could bring me the Imperial edict to search inside my courtyard, or else I will take every single step that his men take inside my territory as an offense." Xiao Jun stood on his ground and didn"t even waver with Mo Qin Yi"s presence.
Mo Qin Yi had predicted it and gave a meaningful smile. "Can you tell me why you don"t want someone step in your courtyard? Are you hiding something Prince Xiao Jun?"
"I just don"t like if there someone unwanted around me, that"s all, there is no particular reason." Xiao Jun looked at Mo Qin Yi provokingly.
In the other words, those people out of his courtyard were people that he didn"t want to be near with.
"So, if I can get the imperial edict, you will let them come inside?" Mo Qin Yi accepted the challenge.
"Sure." Xiao Jun said impa.s.sively.
"Chief guard!" He glanced at his side, where the chief guard was standing.
"Yes my prince." He stepped forward, standing closer to Mo Qin Yi.
"Bring all of your men that you could gather now and surround Prince Xiao Jun"s courtyard. Don"t leave any hole even for a cat to be able to go unnoticed." While Mo Qin Yi gave his order, he was staring at Xiao Jun provocatively. "Oh, since Prince Xiao Jun wants the imperial edict so badly, I will get one for him and until I comeback with the edict, don"t bother him anymore. It is still early in the morning after all."
In the other hand Xiao Jun didn"t even bother to listen to Mo Qin Yi"s gibberish words as he turned around and let his men to guard the gate of the courtyard, as soon as he knew they wouldn"t trespa.s.s until Mo Qin Yi returned with the edict.
Mo Qin Yi was fuming mad when he looked at Xiao Jun"s retreating back, as if his words meant nothing to him, though it was the truth for Xiao Jun, he didn"t want to waste his time on him.
Xiao Jun didn"t even give Mo Qin Yi a second glance when he walked straight inside his courtyard toward Qianru and his room, his wife would be on edge if he didn"t appear for such long time. He knew her pretty well to say it.
Meanwhile, outside of the gates of Xiao Jun"s courtyard, Mo Qin Yi gritted his teeth and balled his hand into fist until his nail stabbed his palm to keep his anger in control.
He turned around and said to his personal guard, Ye Ling. "Tell the Emperor of Zodasian Kingdom that I want to meet him in secret and said that I found his daughter."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Ye Ling a little bit at lost with his Master sudden changed of plan, but he nodded and fulfilled his duty.
After Ye Ling left, Mo Qin Yi turned around and meet with the chief guard"s eyes. "Did I tell you to gather more man and surround Prince Xiao Jun"s courtyard?" The look of dissatisfied on his eyes when he saw the chief guard did nothing.
"Oh, yes crown prince Mo Qin Yi. I will do it right away." The chief guard stuttered as he nodded his head.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the sun rise to move your ugly a.s.s?" Mo Qin Yi shouted at the man angrily. He was so livid with his stupidity and lack of sensibility.
"Yes, yes my prince." The chief guard nodded his head hurriedly and shouted an order toward his man to call for back up.
Mo Qin Yi scoffed at the chief guard stupidity, he didn"t want someone like him near him. Ignoring the commotion that he had created and turned Xiao Jun"s courtyard into a small fortress that was besieged from every corner, Mo Qin Yi strode toward the direction of his imperial father study room.
At this time, his father would be preparing himself to appear in front of his loyal faction who had been giving him a headache because of their motion.
The moment he appeared in front of those loyalists, Mo Qin Yi would give them the surprise that they wouldn"t be able to forget.
A vicious smirk curled on the corner of his lips as he thought about his plan.
