Mo Junyi took a deep look at him before slowly explaining:
“That tutor was found for me by my fifth uncle. The tutor doesn’t crave fame and fortune, but many people in the court know that most of his students have become high-ranking officials. The most famous among them is the former chief minister.”
As for the matters of the previous dynasty, Lei Hong had also heard some things, especially those regarding the imperial family’s secrets.
The former chief minister became famous because, at a very young age, he passed the imperial examinations and became the top scholar before the age of twenty.
After entering imperial service, he helped the emperor resolve many difficult matters in just two years. In his twenty-third year, he was promoted by the emperor and became the chief minister directly.
The former emperor cherished talent, and the chief minister also possessed this ability to be treasured. It’s a pity that the current emperor is not a magnanimous one.
The chief minister has never sought to usurp power, regardless of who sits on the throne. The chief minister will always do their duty.
But onlookers wouldn’t think so. After the current emperor ascended the throne, he found an excuse soon after and dealt with the youngest chief minister in history.
Whoever dares to speak up for the chief minister is doomed.

Just Mo Junyi hadn’t expected that his fifth uncle could actually find this Master, and even persuade him to lay down his hatred for the imperial family and come to Beijiang to teach him.
It’s a pity that despite the master treating him so well, he still couldn’t protect him, and ended up having him die tragically in this northern frontier camp.
Lei Hong didn’t expect that the King of Beijang would actually have such high expectations for the Crown Prince. It turned out that the young master had been eyeing that supreme position for a long time.
He stared at Mo Junyi in silence for a while, then lowered his voice and said, “Prince, your thoughts, the crown prince should not know about them, right?”
He didn’t know what the young master was thinking, but when that tutor appeared by his side, he understood what my fifth uncle had in mind.
So Mo Yunchen feeling murderous intent towards him was completely expected.
Even if he always obeyed Mo Yunchen’s words, it was inevitable that Mo Yunchen would be wary of him.
Since his fifth uncle intended to let him take that position, once Mo Yunchen had a choice, he wouldn’t let him live.
Thinking of this, Mo Junyi suddenly laughed at himself. His fifth uncle had always asked him to leave Beijiang, but he didn’t want to leave. Besides wanting to protect Beijiang for his fifth uncle, wasn’t he also gambling?
<<<<>>
It’s a pity, he lost the bet in the end.
Today, Mo Yunchen’s gaze made it crystal clear that he had lost utterly.
Mo Junyi shook his head, shaking the thoughts in his mind away. Then he said to Lei Hong, “If you want to live, tonight we must not get a drop of water on us.”
He spoke very seriously, and Lei Hong couldn’t help but stiffen. She nodded, “Yes, I understand.”
……
On the other hand, Mo Yunchen’s face remained grim. After instructing his confidant, the latter was even more shocked.
At first, I thought I had misheard. Just now, His Highness said… to kill the Prince?
Looking at his confidant’s expression, Mo Yunchen frowned even tighter. “What? Can’t you understand me?”
The confidant shook his head hastily, “Your Highness, please forgive me, but…but is Your Highness truly going to do this? The young master…”
“Just do it, no need to say more.”
Whatever he decides, no one can stop him.
The confidant pursed his lips, looking at Mo Yunchen’s resolute face. He clenched his hands tightly and finally nodded in agreement before leaving.
Mò Yún Chén’s sinister eyes narrowed slightly, Mò Jūn Yì… Although he was his flesh and blood, in an imperial family, what was most common were things like this. It was nothing more than the cheap sentimentality of familial ties.
What he wants, no one can stop. Since Mo Junyi is destined to be a stumbling block on his path, he can only get rid of him as soon as possible.
This is Mo Junyi’s fate, he can’t blame himself as a king.
