Inside the Prince's Mansion

Mo Yunhan didn't see Jiang Qingwan in the courtyard, so he casually asked,

"Lian'er, where is your young lady?"

"The young lady has not left her room."

Lian'er curtsied, slightly worried, "Your Highness, is Miss feeling unwell? She hasn't eaten much today."

Mo Yunhan frowned slightly.

He wasn't sure what those injuries would do to Jiang Qingwan, and upon hearing this, he strode towards the bedroom.

He pushed the door open.

"Wan'er!"

"Get out!"

A cold rebuke startled Mo Yunhan and Lian'er and Qingsui outside the door.

The chilly atmosphere in the room made Mo Yunhan's skin tighten.

He looked at the person on the bed.

At this moment, Jiang Qingwan was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating.

The fleeting dark aura in his eyes vanished without a trace.

She seemed to have just woken up, and upon seeing Mo Yunhan, she stood up with a smile.

"Yun Han, what brings you here?"

It was as if the words "Get out" that had just been uttered during the killing had never been spoken.

Mo Yunhan felt something was off.

Stare at her intently.

"Wan'er, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Jiang Qingwan spread her arms wide.

"I'm fine. Do you see anything wrong with me?"

She said this as she came to greet them.

Anyone who dared to get any closer to Mo Yunhan abruptly took a step back.

His expression suddenly turned cold.

What do you smell like?

Mo Yunhan was stunned. He raised his sleeve and brought it to his nose to smell, but he couldn't smell anything.

"What does it smell like? Is it unpleasant?"

Jiang Qingwan's face was full of disgust at this moment.

He waved his hands repeatedly, as if to give way.

"Go take a shower, throw away all these clothes, don't let me smell her scent, and get out of here now."

Mo Yunhan really didn't know what was wrong with her.

This version of Jiang Qingwan was too unfamiliar to him.

He assumed it was due to her injury and obediently left the room.

As soon as I left, the door was slammed shut.

Lian'er and Qing Sui both stood rooted to the spot, clearly taken aback.

They all looked dazed.

Mo Yunhan touched his nose, slightly embarrassed.

At this moment, Song Yushu hurriedly walked in.

"Yunhan, I heard you're back, so I came to catch you. You're not allowed to go out these next few days. News has come from the palace that the Emperor Emeritus and the Emperor have set the wedding date for the sixteenth of this month. The wedding attire, the ceremony, and the guest list all need to be finalized. You can stay at home these next few days to prepare for the wedding."

As she spoke, she had already reached Mo Yunhan's side.

Mo Yunhan suddenly handed over his sleeve.

"Aunt, do I smell bad?"

Song Yushu didn't understand why, but he still leaned closer and smelled it.

"Isn't this the incense you usually use?"

Mo Yunhan glanced suspiciously at the tightly closed door behind him.

Song Yushu understood and patted him lightly with a chuckle.

"You got humiliated by Qingwan again? Don't blame her, given her situation..."

She spoke with eyes full of heartache.

Mo Yunhan's heart sank.

Judging from this, Jiang Qingwan's illness is getting worse.

He had to get the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass no matter what.

"Aunt, I have to go out for a few days to take care of some important business. I'll leave the wedding preparations to you. I'll like whatever you prepare."

He was about to leave after he finished speaking.

Song Yushu grabbed him in a hurry.

“What could be more important than a wedding? Did the emperor send you another mission? He knows you’re getting married. Go to the retired emperor and cancel the appointment. How can the groom be absent before the wedding?”

Mo Yunhan shook his head.

He pulled his sleeves back and bowed slightly to her.

"Please, Auntie."

As he spoke, he walked quickly outside, only to bump into Zheng Qing, who was rushing back, just as he reached the courtyard gate.

His face was filled with anger.

"Yun Han, something terrible has happened! The Emperor has actually handed over the entire responsibility for our painstakingly drafted plan to reform border weapons to Xue Renbiao. What does he mean by this? Isn't this trying to strip you of your power?"

Mo Yunhan was also somewhat surprised.

"Xue Renbiao? Isn't he not in the capital?"

Zheng Qing became even angrier upon hearing this.

"So, he left none of us to work and instead transferred Xue Renbiao from outside the capital to take over. Everyone knows that Xue Renbiao is the emperor's confidant and has a personal grudge against you. The emperor's actions are clearly targeting you, and you must make a statement on this matter."

Mo Yunhan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“Uncle, you should know the Emperor’s intentions. He has always been unwilling to accept my regency.”

Zheng Qing was stunned.

"So... so you just let him deliberately pin you down like that?"

Mo Yunhan comforted him.

“He is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and will not destroy his own country. Although Xue Renbiao has a personal grudge against me, he is not a fool. He has served in the army for decades and has his own magnanimity and ability.”

“But…” Zheng Qing was unwilling.

Weapon reform has always been Mo Yunhan's biggest concern.

Moreover, this matter involves not only the military and political affairs under Mo Yunhan's control,

There are also mines, mechanical crafts, and control over information and military forces around the borders.

Once these are delivered...

Once the retired emperor passes away, the emperor, who holds both military and political power, will likely be the first person he wants to kill.

“Yun Han, you are about to get married, so you really shouldn’t worry about these things. Why don’t I go to the Southern Border? I’m familiar with that place, and it will go smoothly to implement the weapons reform. As long as you mention it to the Emperor, he shouldn’t refuse you.”

"The Fourth Prince has already gone to the Southern Border, what are you going there for?"

Mo Yunhan refused on the spot.

"Chengye is still young, so don't get involved in this matter. Your aunt is busy preparing for the wedding and will definitely need your help. Just stay home and relax."
