A possessive and obsessive Prince? A dark-bellied Princess Consort with the support of a system that grants mastery over both medicine and poison. A journey of mutual devotion...
Mobeichen, t...
After Xuanming and Muzhi left, the main hall became lively.
The two who came from the Holy Sky Continent were Saint Chu Yi and Saint Chu Han.
Originally, Sheng Chuyi didn't want to bring Sheng Chuhan to the banquet, but he was afraid that she would sneak out and cause trouble. In addition, Sheng Chuhan insisted on seeing the Queen of Xuancang Continent, so he brought her along.
Because he had made a three-point agreement with his older brother, Sheng Chuhan remained silent throughout the banquet.
Now that Xuanming and Muzhi had left, she seemed to have been freed from her restraints and began to ramble on.
"Brother, that Mo Beichen is even more arrogant than you, he's too cocky." Sheng Chuhan said with a gossipy look on her face.
Upon hearing Sheng Chuhan's words, Sheng Chuyi's heart tightened.
He carefully examined Sheng Chuhan's eyes and saw that she only had gossipy excitement in them, without any other inappropriate emotions, which reassured him slightly.
"This Mo Beichen is indeed a bit brainless," Sheng Chuyi commented, raising an eyebrow.
Although it was their first meeting, Sheng Chuyi was not optimistic about Mo Beichen, feeling that this was not the style of a monarch.
However, this has nothing to do with their Holy Sky Continent, since they have no interest in the Sumeru Continent anyway.
However, the Qiong family has caused trouble for others, and the Holy Sky Continent has to take the blame for it, since the Qiong family is still a member of their continent.
Thinking of Xuanming's protection of Mo Beichen, his heart sank.
This is probably a tricky matter.
Sheng Chuhan disagreed with her brother's opinion.
She said irritably, "Although he is indeed a bit arrogant, the other continents are so rude to him and always finding fault with him."
Does he expect him to fawn over them? That's truly pathetic. A ruler should be assertive and domineering; a little arrogance is perfectly acceptable.
Saint Chu Yi smiled helplessly, “If a ruler of a country only cares about indulging in verbal sparring and ignores the people behind him, then his demise is not far away.”
This time, Mo Beichen has offended so many members of the royal family; he's definitely in trouble.
The other continents were already eyeing the Sumeru Continent covetously, and this gave them an opportunity to start a war. It would be strange if they didn't seize this opportunity.
Sheng Chuyi always felt that Mo Beichen was too reckless.
The Continent of Kings also had no interest in the Sumeru Continent.
Jun Ruzhu stared in the direction Mo Beichen had left, remaining silent for a long time.
He finally couldn't help but complain, "This guy is way too arrogant. How did he become the ruler of a country? He's just too hateful."
"Senior brother, do you think it was a mistake for us to help them back then?"
"If Master knew that the ruler of the Sumeru Continent was this kind of person, would he regret helping them?" Jun Ruzhu asked again when his senior brother remained silent.
Jun Rufeng snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, picked up the fine wine on the table, took a sip, and his eyes lit up – excellent wine.
Seeing him staring at the wine in his glass, Jun Ruzhu urged, "Senior brother, say something."
Jun Rufeng sighed, "No, besides, we didn't help them at all. It's just that Mo Beichen's behavior is a bit strange. He came in and started arguing without even asking what happened. It seems a bit too deliberate."
Mo Beichen's words sounded like he was deliberately trying to provoke a war.
The Sumeru Continent absolutely cannot withstand an attack from other continents. So what benefit would he gain from doing this?
After they left Xishan, they originally planned to go straight back.
Later, they received a message from their master, instructing them to go directly to the king's wedding banquet on the Xuancang Continent, as the gifts were already on their way.
So they turned around and came to the capital.
This was their first time meeting the people of the Sumeru Continent, and to be honest, the impression wasn't very good, but it didn't matter.
In any case, they didn't have any designs on the Sumeru Continent.
Apart from the Xuancang Continent, the Shengqiong Continent, and the Junlin Continent, the other six continents were very dissatisfied with Mo Beichen's actions.
"The people of Sumeru Continent are too arrogant. We must teach them a lesson. As the tenth continent, where do they get the confidence to challenge us?"
"We originally thought that with Xuanming backing them up, we could let them go, but it seems they don't appreciate it at all and even dare to provoke us. They're really asking for trouble."
"Quickly send a message back, saying that the Sumeru Continent is arrogant and has offended many people, so we don't need to worry about it."
There was much discussion on one side, while the atmosphere on the other was heavy.
Side hall of the Xuancang Royal Palace.
When Xuanming and Muzhi arrived at the side hall, Yingzhu was already waiting.
Seeing Yingzhu's grim expression, Xuanming guessed that things were not so simple.
Yingzhu's anxious eyes lit up immediately when he saw Xuanming, and he hurriedly went to greet him.
"Your Highness, the Shadow Lord has not returned, nor is there any news of Empress Yun."
The implication is that something bad has happened.
Yingzhu continued, "I searched their residence but found no trace of Empress Yun. I also found no trace of Empress Yun's master or uncle. They did not return. I also sent people to inquire at the city gate, but there was no trace of them."
Mo Beichen seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Xuanming made a quick decision, "Immediately send people to seal it off... Never mind, they've probably already left."
He realized that Mo Beichen had left the palace using his light-footed skills, so he must have left long ago.
After all, the palace guards had already seen him when he came in, so they didn't stop him from leaving.
"Send someone to catch up with Long Shiyi, who just delivered the congratulatory gift, and tell him that Mo Beichen is an imposter from the Qiong family, and that he should not go to the city gate to pick him up."
He guessed that Mo Beichen would return to the airport openly and honestly.
Oh, right, they named that place "Luochenxuan".
"The fake Mo Beichen will probably go to Luochenxuan, make an excuse that he's drunk and needs to rest, and definitely won't let anyone disturb him."
Then he'll sneak out when no one's around, leave the city under a different identity, disguise himself as Yun Qingluo, and cause trouble at the city gate. This is my worst-case scenario. You should go and speak to Mo Beichen's people first.
"Tell them that their people still need to go to the city gate to expose that it's a fake Yun Qingluo. Also, immediately evacuate the people at the city gate to prevent this matter from spreading and causing a bad impact."
Xuanming told Yingzhu about his plan, and Yingzhu realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately nodded and left.
Xuanming turned around, looking guilty. "I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble at this wedding banquet."
Mu Zhi shook her head, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. These are all unrelated; whether they exist or not doesn't really matter. But you're saying Mo Beichen is fake? What's going on?"
Xuanming explained the matter of the Qiong family and the Mei clan to Muzhi in detail.
He would tell her everything she wanted to know.
Although he hoped Mu Zhi would continue to be carefree, he had seen her efforts recently, and she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, so of course he would grant her that wish.
After hearing Xuan Ming's explanation, Mu Zhi stared wide-eyed in shock, "Fake?"
