Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Mo Bai's popularity among the people is growing.
Because he reversed his previous violent temper and instead did a lot of good things for the people and the country.
Moreover, most people in the court have now been secretly and quietly investigated by Yaoyao.
The reason is none other than the Drunken Spring Pavilion.
Today's Zuichun Pavilion is no longer the little-known brothel it once was.
It is now the most famous brothel in the capital.
Even the main gate of Zuichunlou is not a place that ordinary people can enter.
Of course, there were plenty of attempts to find fault and cause trouble, both openly and secretly, but all of them were stopped by one person.
Shao'an, the bodyguard beside Mo Bai.
The reason he was thrown into the Qilin Guard by Yaoyao was to train him like a man possessed, so that he could stand by Yaoyao's side as soon as possible.
However, the Great Qi Emperor's health is deteriorating. Due to the recurrence of the hidden injuries he suffered from an assassination attempt years ago, his days of lucidity are gradually becoming shorter.
Originally, the Emperor of Qi wanted to curb Yaoyao's development, but now he was gradually losing his strength.
Not long after, the original owner of this body will be deposed, and shortly after that, the Emperor of Great Qi will also die suddenly.
Yao Yao isn't afraid of any conspiracies or tricks now, but she's worried that King Wen and his group might force her to abdicate.
"Has Father woken up today?" Yao Yao asked from outside the door.
"No, Your Highness is very thoughtful."
The person who received Yaoyao was Wang Shun, the chief eunuch of the emperor.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang. You have worked hard these past few months. Please remember not to let any unrelated people disturb the Emperor."
"This servant naturally understands. Your Highness should go back and rest early."
When Wang Shun entered, he found that the Emperor of Qi was already awake, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, saying, "Your Majesty, please slow down."
"Wang Shun, do you think I was wrong? Did I stifle his growth back then? I even considered killing him."
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Hmph, cough cough, I told you to speak, so speak."
"Sigh," Wang Shun sighed.
“Your Majesty, I didn’t think much of it before, but now I feel that compared to the other princes, the Crown Prince is indeed a better candidate for heir apparent.”
The Emperor of Great Qi's eyes revealed his unwillingness: "Even so, what about the Duke of Dingguo behind the Empress? For two generations, the world only knows that the Duke of Dingguo expanded the territory of Great Qi and had made great military achievements. Where has anyone thought of my Great Qi royal family?"
Then he sighed again, "Even I... only won this throne by marrying the only daughter of the Duke of Dingguo."
Looking at the Great Qi Emperor's appearance, Wang Shun couldn't bear it. "But Your Majesty, have you ever considered that the Duke of Dingguo and the others have never cared about this country? Besides, in the Duke of Dingguo's generation, apart from the Crown Prince, there are no other direct or collateral relatives?"
The Emperor of Great Qi was stunned. "Yes, but even so, I'm always afraid they'll seize this empire. Besides... Consort Gui, well, it's still me who wronged her."
Wang Shun looked at the Emperor of Qi without saying anything more, because he knew that he had already figured it out.
………………
A crisp "snap" sound.
"You bastard! You bastard! I've been plotting this for so long, I'm not giving up!"
Consort Yuan angrily smashed a teacup, while Mo Yun stood to the side, looking quite disheveled.
But his eyes were filled with malice, and no one expected that the good-for-nothing from back then could actually turn things around.
And I can't even touch him.
It took Consort Yuan a while to calm herself down before she said calmly, "Yun'er, let's force the emperor to abdicate."
Mo Yun was taken aback. In fact, he was thinking of secretly accumulating power after Mo Bai ascended the throne.
He dared not force the emperor to abdicate.
Yuan Mo looked at Mo Yun's expression and naturally understood what he was thinking. She sneered, "Heh, useless thing. If you don't force him to abdicate, do you think Mo Bai will let you go?"
