Upon hearing this, Li Hu quickly stepped back and subconsciously covered his face with his sleeve.

"Your Highness, you must be tired from your journey. Please come into the city and rest!" Sun Mian interrupted the conversation.

Because he seemed to have figured something out; the personal guard in front of him bore a resemblance to Li Hu.

But... there are still differences!

Li Hu isn't that thin or that old!

"Very well!" Lin Mo said, "May I ask, Lord Sun, have your lodgings been arranged?"

"Yes, His Majesty has made all the arrangements!" Sun Mian said.

Riding alongside Sun Mian through the streets of Beijing, Lin Mo experienced a unique feeling.

"Man proposes, God disposes. I never imagined I would return to the capital in this way!" Lin Mo thought to himself. "I originally thought I would lead a million-strong army into the capital in a grand procession and be worshipped by the people!"

As Lin Mo rode through the crowd into the market, he felt countless gazes upon him: cold, fearful, even hateful. But no one spoke, and no one dared to block his way.

"They all have that expression!" Lin Mo couldn't help but think, "Looks like that woman's smear campaign was pretty effective!"

In the eyes of the people of the capital, I am now a ruthless and heinous butcher prince!

If I were alone, I'm afraid they would drag me off my horse and smash me to pieces with stones!

Before we knew it, we had arrived at our destination.

This is the residential area in the heart of the capital. The residence arranged for him by the Empress of Great Xia is much larger than that of the other ministers of Great Xia. It has a bedroom, a study, a hall, a garden, and everything else one could need.

It was arranged entirely according to the standards of the kings of different surnames in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Not only that, Wei Maozhen also arranged four maids and six servants to take care of his food, clothing and lodging.

Meanwhile, a dozen or so Imperial Guards were arranged at Lin Mo's residence to "protect" his safety.

After arriving at their lodgings, Sun Mian led Sun Ruoxi back home.

Although Sun Ruoxi was very reluctant to leave, she could only stay by her father's side and depart with great reluctance.

Later, a servant who claimed to be the butler told Lin Mo that the maids here could provide any "service" he wanted!

It's okay for a man to be lustful, but he shouldn't risk his life by driving.

Who knows if the girl arranged by Wei Maozhen will get her throat slit while driving on the highway?

Besides, if Lin Mo wanted to, the system could easily create ten Japanese female teachers with a flick of its wrist. Did he need that?

After settling in, the steward specifically reminded him, "His Majesty is busy with state affairs. Please rest again and await an audience. If you need to go out, you must inform me, as the capital is in great turmoil."

Lin Mo scoffed, "Be honest, just say you want to be monitored!"

Exhausted from the long journey, Lin Mo had no energy to go out for a stroll, so he went to bed early.
