Lin Mo also noticed the Empress's expression, but he was in no mood to care about it right now.
If it weren't for the presence of all the civil and military officials, he would have loved to fall asleep instantly again.
The sleep function of this system is very interesting. There is no bug where less than a minute is counted as a minute, and there is no setting to cancel the reward if you don't sleep for a full minute.
Once you choose to sleep, you must sleep for a full minute.
During this time, even if someone dismembers you, you won't wake up in the middle (that's what the system notes)!
After one minute, it will remind you whether you want to wake up, a rather harmonious function.
So here's the problem: wouldn't it be incredibly annoying when it's actually time to go to bed at night?
If they keep asking whether you should wake up every minute, people will have a mental breakdown in less than three days.
Moreover, if they were dismembered and kept from waking up, that would be outrageous.
What if we encounter a night attack by the enemy? Wouldn't we die in our dreams?
Hehe, don't panic.
This system has a timed sleep function that prevents disturbances.
Simply put, if you set it to sleep for seven hours at a time, the system will not remind you again during that time.
At the same time, in natural sleep mode, you can wake up at any time, just like when you sleep normally.
Natural dreams, which last less than a minute, can be carried over to the next dream until they reach a full minute.
"Let me go back to sleep!" Lin Mo thought to himself. "We're leaving tomorrow, and realistically, we only have a dozen or so hours left. Every minute I sleep is an extra soldier."
Otherwise, we might encounter thugs along the way, and our lives would be in danger!
The Empress frowned. She felt that there was something strange about Lin Mo, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Left with no other choice, an official decree was issued, bestowing upon Lin Mo the title of Prince of Shu, and ordering him to leave the capital the following day.
"Court adjourned!"
Upon hearing those two words, Lin Mo left without looking back and hurried home to sleep.
The remaining officials also left one by one.
Upon seeing this, Li Hu couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "Heh, that's it? The son of the Great Xia's military god?"
The Minister of Revenue, seeing his despicable face, dared not speak out in anger.
Li Hu was about to leave when he was stopped by a eunuch, who said, "His Majesty requests your presence."
Following the eunuch, Li Hu arrived at the Imperial Study.
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"
"No need for formalities!" the Empress said, frowning. "Minister Li, what do you think of this Prince of Shu?"
"That's an exaggeration!" Li Hu replied with a smile.
"No, I feel something is amiss." The Empress shook her head. "Come here, I have a secret decree for you to carry out!"
Li Hu respectfully leaned forward and whispered in Li Hu's ear.
"Have your men leave the capital immediately and spread the word that the Great Xia has dispatched the King of Shu to Shu to wipe out all bandits within its borders," the Empress whispered. "Remember, you must get there before that brat. There can be no mistakes."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Hu's lips curled up slightly. "Your Majesty, shall we send a letter to the Feng clan chieftain in Shu?"
The chieftain Li Hu mentioned was naturally the local warlord defeated by Lin Wenzhong. After being wiped out by Lin Wenzhong, he and his men went into hiding.
"Alright!"
After the order was given, the Empress finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Mo is made the King of Shu, it will be inconvenient to ambush him on the way. However, once he arrives in Shu, with this order, the local bandits will definitely take action against him.
The bandits in Shu are exceptionally fierce, and even the elite troops of the Great Xia Dynasty have difficulty dealing with them, let alone Lin Mo.
Once they arrived in Shu, the local general would not easily relinquish his military power and serve Lin Mo.
Li Hu then suggested informing the former chieftains, which would make things even more secure.
Therefore, Lin Mo's trip there is almost certainly doomed.

"Young General, wake up!"
Outside the Lin residence, a servant gently shook Lin Mo.
It turned out that Lin Mo fell asleep as soon as he got into the carriage.
That's obvious, time is life, he can't waste a single second sleeping to earn points.
But for the rest of the Lin family, this move was quite baffling.
What time is it, and you're still fast asleep!
Meanwhile, the area outside the Lin residence was already packed with people.
Lin Mo was suddenly summoned to the palace in the morning, and everyone was terrified.
After all, the Lin family had been living under the Empress's surveillance for the past year.
The danger of being summoned suddenly is self-evident.
Lin Mo's elderly mother, in particular, was extremely worried because of the incident where her husband "ate steamed goose" (a metaphor).
Seeing Lin Mo return safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But, "What does it mean that my son keeps sleeping?"
Lin Mo probably miscalculated the time it would take for the carriage to return from the palace, and he ignored the system's reminder.
"What's wrong with my son?" Lin Mo's mother, Jiang Wan, asked anxiously.
"I don't know, he fell asleep as soon as he got into the carriage and we couldn't wake him up no matter what we did!" the guard who accompanied him replied. "Moreover, the carriage almost overturned halfway there, but the young general was still fast asleep."
"Huh?" Jiang Wan was horrified. "Could it be that she fainted from anger?"
Everyone was shocked by these words.
"Quick, quick, pinch his philtrum!"
Upon hearing this, the servants of the manor immediately stepped forward and were about to pinch his philtrum.
"What are you doing!"
Lin Mo woke up at the critical moment.
Jiang Wan was startled at first, then quickly stepped forward and covered her son's hand, "Son, are you alright!"
Lin Mo noticed that her eyes were moist as she spoke, clearly indicating that she had been crying.
"If you feel unwell, tell your mother. She's very worried about you!"
Although he had only been in this world for three years, and during those three years Lin Mo had spent most of his time fighting alongside Lin Wenzhong, he hadn't seen Jiang Wan much. But the maternal love Lin Mo felt from her was unparalleled.
