Inside the Imperial Palace in the capital.
On the high platform, Wei Maozhen stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the cold moon. The bright moonlight shone on his delicate face, but between his brows was an unresolved sorrow.
"So much time has passed, there should be news from Sichuan by now," she said dejectedly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Even if that kid can handle this matter, we still have a backup plan, don't we?"
Wei Maozhen smiled. "Speaking of which, have you taken care of everything I asked you to do?"
"Everything has been taken care of!" Ling Tiande said with a smile.
Before long, a female official came quickly, "Your Majesty, news has arrived from Shu!"
"Speak quickly!" Wei Maozhen said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, the King of Shu has confessed to killing 400,000 prisoners of war from Dos!" the female official said tremblingly. "He also said that the list of treacherous officials that Your Majesty gave you was too small and could not include all the names of the treacherous officials of the Great Xia."
He...he wants to...
"What is he trying to do?" Wei Maozhen frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice. "Is he crazy?"
"The King of Shu says he will personally go to the capital and personally eliminate the treacherous ministers around Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Maozhen was completely stunned.
"This..." Ling Tiande was also taken aback.
Logically speaking, they wanted to see Lin Mo vehemently explain that the massacre of prisoners was not his doing.
As long as things get complicated and the narrative gets confused, they can add fuel to the fire and say that Lin Mo not only used his own men as bait to defeat the Dos people, but also massacred prisoners!
In this way, things became very favorable for the Empress.
They never expected Lin Mo to accept it so readily! This was completely unexpected by Wei Maozhen.
"It's good that you've admitted it!" Ling Tiande said. "Your Majesty, we can now expedite the next step of our plan!"
"That's true!" Wei Maozhen's face darkened. "Minister Ling, how many days until the New Year?"
"Your Majesty, there are still fourteen days left!"
"The timing is perfect. Let's send another messenger to invite envoys from various countries to celebrate the New Year in our Great Xia!"
"Yes, sir!"
~~~
Night, the cold moon hangs low, its light as clear as water.
"Bad order!" Su Qing'er said shyly, but her smooth, snow-white skin arched towards Lin Mo's chest, and she pushed Lin Mo's hand away.
Although she was happy to be pursued by her husband every day, she couldn't resist his daily urging, especially given her special physical condition.
For some reason, she had driven with Lin Mo dozens of times, but every time it was just as painful as the first time, to the point that Zhe Teng would make her feel like she was dying every time.
Sometimes she even thought of saying to Lin Mo, "Your Highness, why don't you take a concubine?"
Lin Mo reached out again and squeezed hard. Hearing Su Qing'er's reproachful tone, he felt no displeasure, but rather a sense of accomplishment. He chuckled and said, "Don't you like bad guys?"
Su Qing'er rolled her eyes. She really had no way to deal with her husband. Fortunately, the New Year was just a few days away. As the Prince of Shu, Lin Mo had to host a banquet for his subordinates.
I'll definitely be busy then, but that will free me up!
Just then, Su Qing'er suddenly saw Lin Mo reveal a mischievous smile again.
She immediately sensed something was wrong; if this continued, this guy would definitely... She quickly changed the subject and shifted the focus.
"Your Highness, will my people be able to live in Tianshui City after next year?"
Lin Mo paused for a moment as he listened, but quickly resumed his restless activities. "It will be ready after the spring," he said. "The infrastructure in the Tianshui City residential area has already been completed."
If your people don't mind the simplicity, they can set up a tent for now to live in.
"I don't mind at all!" Su Qing'er said. "Tomorrow I'll send someone to my father to ask him to arrange for our clansmen to go to Tianshui City after spring. Maybe we can even help you build the city then!"
The conversation had barely ended when Lin Mo started getting restless again.
Seeing this, Su Qing'er's face flushed crimson, and she whispered, "Your Highness, if you are truly in pain, please take a concubine. I really..."
"Really what?" Lin Mo smiled mischievously.
"I'm already very grateful that you've been with me these past few days!" Su Qing'er said in a different way. Lin Mo was taken aback, but when he looked at Su Qing'er, he just chuckled.
"Are you tired? How about we try something different?"
As he spoke, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow suggestively and whispered in Su Qing'er's ear.
Su Qing'er blushed even more after hearing this, and punched Lin Mo in the chest with her small fist: "You're so bad, don't!"
She pursed her cherry lips as she spoke, "That scoundrel, he takes advantage of even the slightest kindness, he actually wanted to do that, how could he even think of such a thing."
"Come on, come on!" The more Su Qing'er shook her head, the more Lin Mo wanted it.
Unable to dissuade Lin Mo, Su Qing'er had no choice but to sit up and bury her head in her hands.
However, just then, a crisp sound came from outside, and Su Qing'er immediately sat up straight: "It sounds like there's some noise outside!"
"Damn it, a bunch of lazy bums! How dare they interrupt my good time!" Lin Mo had been on high alert all along, but he had been flirting with Su Qing'er, so most of his attention was on her.
In a fit of anger, he quickly put on his clothes.
Watching Lin Mo get up and quickly put on his clothes, Su Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't know what she would have done if he hadn't made that noise. Would she really have done as he said?
Just thinking about it made Su Qing'er feel hot all over and her face flushed. This naughty guy, he really knows how to cause trouble.
As Lin Mo arrived at the door, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, "Your Highness, I apologize for disturbing your enjoyment. I am He Xiao, and I have some business to attend to!"
