The retired emperor glanced at the inner room, then lowered his head and finished drinking the ginseng soup.
The old eunuch immediately took the bowl, bowed, and retreated outside.
The retired emperor raised his hand.
"Come here, help me up."
Mo Yunhan did not want to believe that Madam He would be here.
Since Jiang Qingwan had such suspicions, there must be something related to mystical arts inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
He thought of his mother, who had transformed into a demon and left, and his feelings were very complicated.
After a few moments of silence, he walked over and bowed in accordance with the Emperor Emeritus's gesture.
The exquisite brocade robe embroidered with dragons and pythons swept lightly across the ground.
The Emperor Emeritus's breathing was very erratic, and the palm resting on his wrist was trembling slightly.
He felt a pang of sadness and distress in his heart.
One year, when snow was falling heavily, he once again escaped death from Kunning Palace.
The small, thin body hid behind the empty palace steps, cleaning its wounds with ice water.
His father, who had rarely appeared since his birth, stood in the wind and snow at the palace gate, wearing a black cloak and looking at him from afar.
Without stepping forward or offering any comfort, he coldly ordered, "Clean him up. Three days later, the Ninth Prince of Great Zhou will bestow upon him the Pearl Crown."
He was the only prince to be crowned with a pearl crown before he was ten years old.
At that time, in Mo Yunhan's heart.
This father, as majestic as a god, could easily decide his life or death, his glory or his ruin.
But today.
He was so old that even walking became unsteady.
The retired emperor led Mo Yunhan to the front of the secret chamber.
Upon opening the first layer, the stench of blood almost assaulted the senses.
Xiao Hong excitedly rushed over.
It was lying in front of the iron gate, scratching at it with its claws.
Mo Yunhan heard a faint tiger's roar coming from behind the iron gate.
But if you listen carefully, it seems to be just an illusion.
What's inside?
The retired emperor did not answer, but raised his hand and turned the mechanism lock on the iron gate.
Accompanied by the clicking sound of gears turning.
The first seal has been broken.
Mo Yunhan looked at the tiger lying on the ground inside, and something seemed to burst forth in his mind. A chaotic scene flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it at all.
He shook his head slightly and looked around, but did not see any human corpses or remains.
Am I too late?
He frowned and questioned.
"You brought people here just to feed this tiger?"
The retired emperor looked completely bewildered.
"Arrest people? Who were arrested?"
Mo Yunhan was also completely bewildered. He looked down at the red fox on the ground, which was excitedly shaking its head and wagging its tail, and felt utterly speechless.
"It's a tiger, not a female fox. Why are you so agitated? Have you forgotten why your master sent you in with me?"
Xiao Hong completely ignored it, totally absorbed in her excitement.
Its tail wagged like a beautiful red fan.
The retired emperor asked, "Didn't that girl Jiang Qingwan send you to demand my tiger?"
Mo Yunhan rubbed his forehead.
Without explaining anything, he grabbed Xiaohong and left.
He was giving instructions as he walked out.
“Jiang Qingwan is still protecting that person’s life, but you are single-mindedly looking for the tigress. If she gets hurt because of your delay, I will pluck all your fur off and you won’t get a single pill.”
Xiao Hong immediately perked up, jumped out of Mo Yunhan's arms, and ran towards Kunning Palace.
The retired emperor stood at the palace gate watching the man and the fox leave, then raised his hand.
"Akamori, go and take a look."
"yes!"
A response came from mid-air.
Xiao Hong quickly darted to the outside of Kunning Palace. Without Mo Yunhan's instruction, she leaped onto the rooftop.
Mo Yunhan immediately walked towards the palace entrance.
The young eunuch was so frightened when he saw him that he immediately knelt down and bowed.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Ninth Prince."
"Get out of the way! My pet has wandered in. If anything goes wrong, I will chop off your heads."
Mo Yunhan exuded a sharp and imposing aura.
The two eunuchs were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they dared not stop them.
All he could do was shout into the hall, "His Highness the Ninth Prince has arrived."
At this time, the concubines' audience with the emperor had ended.
The Empress Dowager was preparing to have her meal.
Upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly walked out, supported by Granny Gui.
"Ninth Prince, what are you doing? This is my Kunning Palace. How dare you trespass without my summons?"
Mo Yunhan nodded slightly in greeting.
"I have a red fox that is very intelligent. After I went to see my father, it seemed to smell something and rushed straight to Kunning Palace. I was really worried. If it has offended anyone, I apologize."
At that moment, a flash of red flew past from the east.
Mo Yunhan completely ignored the Empress Dowager and rushed in that direction.
The Empress Dowager roared angrily.
"How dare you!"
"Guards! The Ninth Prince has trespassed into Kunning Palace. Seize him!"
All the guards in Kunning Palace surrounded them.
Mo Yunhan coldly swept his hand over the crowd from behind his back.
"You want to fight me?"
Several years ago, when Mo Yunhan was not yet twenty, he fought Yan Yunqing in the martial arts arena of the palace.
At that time, Yan Yunqing was already the most famous martial artist in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The two fought for two hundred rounds without a clear winner.
How could mere palace guards possibly stop them?
Everyone was frightened by his sharp and menacing gaze and stepped back.
The Empress Dowager said angrily, "Mo Yunhan, how dare you make a move here? Are you trying to rebel?"
Mo Yunhan scoffed.
With a light tap of the foot, the person had already flown away.
And that direction...
The Empress Dowager shouted urgently, "Shoot the arrows!"
The guard had no choice but to obey and immediately drew his bow.
More than a dozen arrows shot toward Mo Yunhan's back, but Mo Yunhan turned around and swept them all away with a palm strike.
