I kept thinking about how Simeng was doing in Qingshan City.
Emperor Yongshun had grown accustomed to Mo Beichen's cool and aloof demeanor. However, he also sensed that Mo Beichen at this year's palace banquet seemed even more aloof and murderous than in previous years, his entire aura appearing much more subdued than before.
Emperor Yongshun originally intended to inquire about the situation, but considering that they were still at a palace banquet with so many outsiders present, he felt it inappropriate to ask too many questions and therefore refrained from doing so.
Seeing the regent's somber mood, the ministers dared not approach and kept their distance. The regent of the past, though cold and aloof, like a block of ancient ice, at least had a smile to his face.
The current regent looks at people with eyes that seem to carry sharp blades, like an assassin. Anyone who dares to cross his bottom line will be killed by him.
This made them secretly rejoice, thankful that he hadn't focused his attention on them, otherwise they would surely have been killed without a burial place.
Mo Beichen had no regard for other people's thoughts and feelings. The thought of everyone else being reunited with their spouses during the New Year while he was still alone, not to mention that the person he liked was thousands of miles away, and the woman he liked didn't even know he liked her, made him even more upset.
He couldn't wait to get to Qingshan City and see Wang Simeng.
The palace banquet was drawing to a close. Mo Beichen told Emperor Yongshun that he would be leaving the capital for a while. Emperor Yongshun did not stop him, but only told Mo Beichen to be careful and to protect himself no matter what, and not to take any risks.
Mo Beichen agreed and then hurriedly took his leave.
"Someone, prepare the horses, I want to leave the city."
"Yes." The guard immediately went to make the arrangements.
After attending the palace banquet, Mo Mingxuan discovered that his uncle was missing, so he went to ask his father, the Emperor.
"Father, where did Uncle go?" Mo Mingxuan asked curiously.
"Your uncle didn't say anything, he just said he wouldn't be returning to Beijing for a while."
Mo Mingxuan pondered for a while.
"Oh, I see, I see. I knew it! My uncle had been acting a bit strange lately. So he was looking for... Hahaha, Father and Mother, I'll be going back now."
"Alright, hurry up and leave, don't waste my and your mother's time." Emperor Yongshun quickly waved his hand, signaling Mo Mingxuan to leave quickly.
"Okay," Mo Mingxuan agreed with a smile, then turned and left.
Haha, Uncle must have gone to Qingshan City to find Simeng. That two-faced man! Well then, I won't disturb their time together. Mo Mingxuan shook his head and walked towards his residence with a smile.
Emperor Yongshun and the Empress smiled as they watched Mo Mingxuan's departing figure.
"Let's go, Xi'er, let's go back to our bedchamber and have some wine." Emperor Yongshun took the Empress's hand and walked towards the bedchamber.
As soon as Emperor Yongshun and the Empress returned to their bedchamber, Emperor Yongshun immediately embraced the Empress.
"Oh dear! We agreed to drink, but we haven't even had a drink yet!" the Empress exclaimed, then quickly declined.
"Hehe, Seele is my best wine, you've completely bewitched me."
