"Sun Ke, are you saying that His Highness the Ninth Prince angrily punished the evil soldiers who bullied the people, but in your words, it became a case of a madman killing people? By your standard, when we go into battle to kill the enemy, defend our country, and fight bloody battles, are we also madmen?"

Sun Ke was speechless after being confronted.

Mo Yunhan sighed softly, as if in disappointment.

"Your Majesty, you have always cherished me, and since childhood, I have regarded you as the most respected elder brother. I have not yet returned, yet Your Majesty has posted this imperial edict all over the city. Could it be that Your Majesty really believes what these people say and intends to kill me directly?"

Mo Yunzhao's expression grew increasingly grim.

They immediately changed the subject.

"Little Jiu, you said you would find medicine for Father Emperor, did you find it?"

Mo Yunhan remained silent for a couple of breaths and did not ask any further questions.

He pulled a box out of his pocket.

"Thanks to our ancestors, your humble servant has found a medicine that, while not granting Father Emperor longevity, can temporarily alleviate his illness and prolong his life for several months."

Mo Yunzhao's heart skipped a beat.

This has been going on for months; how can this be tolerated?

He raised his hand and said, "Bring the medicine here. I need to consult the imperial physician before I can give it to my father."

Mo Yunhan stuffed the medicine box back into his bosom.

"There's no need for such trouble. Now that I'm back, I should naturally accompany you to the palace to see Father."

"Nonsense!"

Mo Yunzhao sternly stopped him, "How can Father's health be treated so lightly? Moreover, your current condition is still unclear. I will not allow Father's life to be gambled on, causing further trouble."

"To ensure everything goes smoothly, you must rest in another courtyard and are not allowed to enter the palace. Someone, come forward and fetch the medicine."

Yan Yunqing immediately stepped forward.

"Your Highness, please bring out the medicine. Don't make things difficult for us."

Mo Yunhan didn't even look at him, his gaze falling on Mo Yunzhao with an ambiguous expression.

"What if I refuse?"
