"You took the medicine just to prevent a situation like Concubine Lian from happening again. After all, the death of a favorite concubine would be very troublesome for you." Xiao Moyan said lightly.
Today, Emperor Xiao has become a madman who is enslaved by power for the sake of his throne. In the eyes of Emperor Xiao, no power is more important.
Emperor Xiao's face darkened slightly. He closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened them again. "Mo Yan, I know you have no interest in the throne, but sooner or later, this Lizhou Kingdom will have to be inherited by you. You may not understand what I'm doing now, but when you sit on my throne, you'll know how much I've cared about you."
Hearing this, Xiao Moyan raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the exquisite royal crown on the table, and said thoughtfully: "Who said I have no intention of becoming the emperor?"
Emperor Xiao paused slightly and looked at Xiao Moyan without saying anything. He had said everything he needed to say, but it was a pity that his son had always been distant from him and would not believe anything he said. In that case, he stopped talking nonsense.
"Today is your birthday. Why don't you abdicate today?" Xiao Moyan suggested casually while playing with the crown in his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, several men in black, the two men, and the woman in white who had been performing on the stage suddenly appeared behind Emperor Xiao, with the long swords in their hands shining with a sharp cold light.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Xiao's heart tightened. He secretly clenched his hands and looked at Xiao Moyan coldly. After a long while, he uttered a few words in a deep voice: "Moyan... I promised Yining that I would protect you. Don't force me... to kill you."
"Isn't what I'm doing just what you want? If I succeed to the throne soon, you won't have to sacrifice for me anymore, and you won't have to worry about the affairs of Lizhou. How about living a quiet life in the palace and enjoying your old age?" Xiao Moyan put Wang Mian down and said calmly.
"You rebellious son, do you really want to force me to abdicate?" Emperor Xiao's body trembled slightly. He was wary of everyone except Xiao Moyan.
In the eyes of Emperor Xiao, Xiao Moyan has always been a person who is pure-hearted and indifferent to fame and fortune. As the crown prince of Lizhou Kingdom, the throne will be his sooner or later. Emperor Xiao has cleared all obstacles for him one by one, so there is no need for him to fight for it.
Xiao Moyan looked at Emperor Xiao's furious expression, glanced at him calmly and said, "I have no interest in the throne. Give me the key to the imperial mausoleum, and I will return Wang Mian to you."
When Emperor Xiao heard this, he was shocked: "Imperial Mausoleum? What are you going to do in the Imperial Mausoleum?"
The Imperial Mausoleum is the resting place of emperors and empresses of all dynasties in Lizhou Kingdom. It is also a forbidden place for everyone. Apart from anything else, the burial objects inside are priceless. However, it is full of traps, and it is almost impossible to get out of the Imperial Mausoleum.
Until now, Emperor Xiao is still puzzled as to how Xiao Moyan escaped from the imperial mausoleum after being imprisoned there.
"My mother's body couldn't have disappeared out of thin air. I want to find out the truth." Xiao Moyan said.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiao felt relieved. It turned out that Mo Yan did all this just to enter the imperial mausoleum to see Yining.
The imperial mausoleum is a forbidden area. If Xiao Moyan doesn't do this, Emperor Xiao will definitely not hand over the key.
After a while, Emperor Xiao ordered someone to fetch the key to the imperial mausoleum and gave it to Xiao Moyan, who then left.
Xiao Moyan didn't know that when he left and came back the next day, a scandal that was shameful to all five states had happened.
The next day, Xiao Moyan had just returned from the imperial mausoleum. He took the key to Emperor Xiao's bedroom and prepared to return the key to Emperor Xiao. Strangely, the palace, which was usually heavily guarded, did not even have a gatekeeper today.
