Mo Yu reached out and pulled at the corner of his mouth, trying to suppress his smile, and said, "Should we send an imperial physician to the Grand Tutor's side?"
He thought that since the Emperor had openly stated that the Grand Tutor was unwell, the imperial physician should be sent to take a look.
Mo Beichen sighed softly, "Do you want the whole world to know that I angered two meritorious ministers in one day?"
Mo Yu quickly lowered his head, "This subordinate dares not."
Mo Beichen picked up a memorial and asked, "What's the situation on the frontier?"
Mo Yu became much more serious this time. "Your Majesty, with the medicine from the Divine Doctor Valley, the number of casualties in Tianmo Kingdom and Beiyue Kingdom has been greatly reduced. Everyone is also fighting harder, and we have now captured two cities in Beiyue Kingdom."
Mo Beichen nodded. "Send a message to General Yun: do not be too eager for quick success. The Northern Moon Kingdom still has reinforcements. Tell our army to rest and recuperate, and to be vigilant in defense. Do not let your guard down."
Mo Yu silently repeated Mo Beichen's words to himself to make sure he remembered them before agreeing.
Mo Beichen quickly finished reviewing the memorials in his hand and continued, "What about the other side? What's the situation?"
When Mo Yu spoke of this, his tone was somewhat surprised. "When the Tianmo Kingdom and the Dongwu Kingdom first set out on the battlefield, there were only one million troops, while the Dongwu Kingdom had a full two million troops. The other side wanted to kill us. At first, the Mo family army and the Tianlang army mostly disagreed and fought on their own, putting them at a disadvantage."
Later, a million-strong Ever-Victorious Army appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be acting on the Empress's orders to aid the Tianmo Kingdom. This million-strong army was unstoppable, displaying its formidable strength in their first encounter with the Dongwu Kingdom. In subsequent battles, they ordered the Mo Family Army and the Tianlang Kingdom's soldiers to be renamed the Ever-Victorious Army and given them ample time to recuperate. The first few battles were fought between them and the Dongwu Kingdom…”
As Mo Yu spoke, his tone became more admiring. When he first received the letter and read it for the first time, he even criticized Chang Shengjun for making empty boasts.
How can you fight an army of one million versus two million? I thought we had some help, but it turns out we're getting ganged up on again.
But then, his eyes widened in disbelief; it was an overwhelming victory.
Is this for real? What kind of invincible army is this? This is terrifying! One million against two million, and they still manage to win with fewer troops. That's amazing.
After listening to Mo Yu's report, Mo Beichen chuckled, "The surprise Luo Luo gave me was truly a wonderful one."
"Since the war in Dongwu Kingdom is almost over, I will send 100,000 Ever-Victorious Army soldiers to join General Yun and end the war as soon as possible. Tell them that I am waiting for their safe return in the capital."
Mo Yu's expression turned to shock upon hearing the last four words, but then she became understanding.
The master is very protective of his own, so it's understandable that he would do these things.
"Also, tell them to return as soon as possible," Mo Beichen added, stopping Mo Yu from leaving the room.
Luo Luo didn't stay here for long. He knew she wanted to see the army return victorious before leaving, and she wanted to see her father and two brothers. Otherwise, she wouldn't be at peace even after she left.
Therefore, the army must return before they leave.
Mo Yu agreed again before leaving.
Mo Beichen continued reviewing memorials, when a eunuch came in to refill his tea.
Mo Beichen casually asked, "What is the Empress doing?"
The eunuch bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, after the Empress returned to the palace, she played with His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess for a while, and then took them for a nap."
Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen paused slightly before resuming his normal posture and asked in a cool voice, "Didn't the Empress have lunch?"
The eunuch sensed the dissatisfaction in Mo Beichen's tone, lowered his head even further, and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the palace maid originally wanted Her Highness to have her meal before sleeping, but Her Highness said that she had already eaten in the carriage and was not hungry, so she would rather wait until she wakes up and have her meal with the Crown Prince and the Princess."
Mo Beichen nodded. The little ones are still small and get hungry quickly, and their stomachs are small, so they need to eat when they wake up. It's not impossible for them to eat together then.
Mo Beichen waved for his father-in-law to leave, and his hands moved faster and faster as he reviewed the memorials.
However, it was still a backlog of state affairs that had been piling up for several months. Although the Grand Tutor and Han Yixuan were helping to handle it, they could only deal with some urgent matters and minor issues. For some major matters, they still had to wait for me to return and handle them.
When Mo Beichen finished reviewing the memorials, he didn't expect it to be already dark.
Mo Feng and Mo Yu have not returned yet. The father-in-law came in a few times along the way, but seeing that Mo Beichen's face was very dark, he did not dare to persuade him to rest or eat.
Just as Mo Beichen left, Mo Feng and Mo Yu returned together.
Mo Beichen glanced at the two of them. "You two went back inside?"
The two men paused, inwardly giving their master a thumbs up. They were truly impressive that he could see through that.
Mo Feng replied, "Yes, when the Nameless Lord heard that you had returned, he originally wanted to come and see the Emperor in person, but when he heard that something had happened with Lord Luo, he went to see Lord Luo first. He wrote a letter and left it in the building. After Mo Yu and I finished our business, we went to retrieve the letter."
After Mo Feng finished speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen told the two to get up, then turned back, casually placed the letter on the table, weighed it down with an inkstone, and left.
Seeing this, Mo Yu was about to call out to Mo Beichen when Mo Feng pulled her back.
Mo Yu asked, puzzled, "What if there's something very important in that letter to tell the Emperor? Why didn't the Emperor read the letter first?"
Mo Feng closed the door to the imperial study and ordered the guards to keep watch.
He grabbed Mo Yu and led her on patrol.
Mo Yu slapped Mo Feng's hand away, "Oh dear, if you're going, then go. What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging like this? Does the Emperor really not want to read the letter? He's in such a hurry, I think he must be going to see the Empress."
Mo Feng turned around and glared at Mo Yu, who was getting more and more excited as she spoke, and said coldly, "Do I need to think about it?"
Mo Yu snorted at the boring comment and jogged to catch up with Mo Feng.
When Mo Beichen arrived at Chengqian Palace, Yun Qingluo was in the small kitchen making baby food for the two little ones.
As he stepped into the courtyard, he heard laughter and cheerful voices coming from the small kitchen, instantly dispelling all his fatigue.
Mo Beichen stretched his limbs and strode towards the small kitchen in the backyard.
As they reached the door, they heard Yun Qingluo's gentle voice from inside, "This one is for Zeyan, and this pink and tender flower is for Qianyue. Okay, all done."
Little Qianyue was pulled by Granny Gong, her small body struggling to walk towards Yun Qingluo, chanting, "Fa, fa, ci fa."
Zeyan rolled his eyes speechlessly and corrected, "Flower, eat flowers... Father!"
As Zeyan was speaking, he unconsciously turned his eyes and saw his father standing at the kitchen door looking in his direction. His eyes lit up immediately.
