Although Chu Tianyi wasn't human, she could still analyze human emotions; after all, even a junior shopkeeper needed the ability to analyze human emotions. Knowing her young mistress's strength, Chu Tianyi wasn't worried at all even seeing Mo Beichen's change.
Upon hearing Mo Beichen's words, Chu Tian didn't stand on ceremony. He immediately had everyone move all the things Mo Beichen had chosen into the RV, and then drove the RV towards Wang Simeng's estate.
After Chu Tian left, Mo Beichen began selecting again.
I wanted to give Simeng everything. But then I thought that Simeng probably wouldn't accept it because of her personality.
The tables and chairs could be explained as necessities. If he was firm, Simeng might accept them. But the rest… Mo Beichen wasn't sure.
Thinking of this, Mo Beichen stopped again.
Then his eyes lit up, and he came up with another good reason: To celebrate moving to a new home.
Mo Beichen then had two carriages loaded with fine antiques, jade artifacts, calligraphy, and paintings, and sent them to Wang Simeng's estate.
Mo Beichen went back to his study and asked the butler to summon Ying Tian.
"Has anything major happened recently?" Mo Beichen asked casually.
"Your Highness, nothing major has happened in the capital recently."
However, the Shadow Pavilion recently received a job to assassinate Your Highness.
After being rejected by the Shadow Pavilion, the man went to Tianyi Tower. Tianyi Tower accepted the order. The Shadow Pavilion sent people to investigate and discovered that the man was Qin Zhang, the second prince of the Eastern Qin Kingdom.
"Your Highness, you said that if an assassin were to try to kill you, we would not stop them, so we did not take any action," Ying Tian said respectfully.
The Shadow Pavilion is an organization primarily engaged in information selling and assassination. Ying Tian is the head of the Shadow Pavilion, the apparent ruler. However, the true power behind the scenes is Mo Beichen, though no one knows this.
Tianyi Tower is also an assassin organization, but it takes any job, regardless of whether the person being assassinated is good or bad. Therefore, it is disliked by righteous people.
"Yes. Well done!"
"I'm just waiting for them to come and assassinate me." Mo Beichen's aura changed, and an overbearing aura was immediately revealed.
Seeing Mo Beichen's change, Ying Tian hesitated and said, "Master...Master, the information we've gathered is that they plan to assassinate the Prince shortly after he leaves Qingshan City today."
Mo Beichen was taken aback. He hadn't seen the assassination attempt at all! Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he burst out laughing. The laugh was like ice and snow melting away, and spring flowers blooming.
So that's how it is. I guess Simeng's RV was going too fast; they simply couldn't stop it or catch up.
Thinking of this, Mo Beichen's smile softened again.
Ying Tian was secretly amazed by the changes in Mo Beichen.
My master usually has a detached expression and is quite aloof towards outsiders. But now he's suddenly laughing like a child, and then suddenly so gentle. Is this really my master?
Mo Beichen snapped out of his daze and, seeing Ying Tian's gaze, immediately regained his indifferent expression.
Well, he really is that aloof and cold master. I must have been seeing things just now.
Mo Beichen's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was cold. "Hmm. Continue to send people to keep an eye on Tianyi Tower. This assassination attempt by Tianyi Tower failed, and they are very likely to attempt a second one. While Miss Wang is with me, I will not allow any assassination attempts to occur. If she is harmed, then you will no longer exist."
"Yes," Ying Tian replied respectfully, not daring to be negligent. But inwardly, a storm was brewing. A woman! His master was actually going to protect a woman! Heavens!
The Shadow Pavilion naturally knew who Miss Wang was referring to. It was the Shadow Pavilion that had informed Mo Beichen about the novel delicacies in Qingshan Town. Ying Tian also knew quite a bit about Wang Simeng.
Shadow never expected that his master would have a woman he liked, and that she was Miss Wang!
"Okay, you can go now." Mo Beichen nodded.
"Yes!" Ying Tian quickly withdrew and closed the study door.
In the study, Mo Beichen leaned back in his chair, thinking about Wang Simeng and their recent interactions. His usually aloof expression softened.
Mo Beichen could also sense that Wang Simeng still had a tiny bit of affection for him.
"Knock! Knock! Knock! Your Highness, the Emperor has sent someone to inform you that he has urgent business to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen's gentle expression turned into one of helplessness.
Urgent matter? What urgent matter? He just wanted to gossip. His elder brother was truly unreliable. Mo Beichen stood up helplessly and left the study.
"Why hasn't the Hall of Diligent Governance arrived yet?" Emperor Yongshun's eyes gleamed with gossip as he looked out of the hall, muttering to himself.
Emperor Yongshun thought to himself that if Beichen didn't come soon, he would go to his residence in person.
"Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to inform them. I believe they will arrive soon," said Eunuch Li with a smile.
"Hmm! Wait another quarter of an hour. If they don't come in a quarter of an hour, I will go to the Regent's Palace myself," Emperor Yongshun said.
Eunuch Li replied respectfully, "Yes."
Eunuch Li thought to himself, "Your Majesty, aren't you being a bit too nosy?" But then again, who isn't curious? Who isn't gossipy? The Regent actually came back riding that huge iron machine.
Soon, Mo Beichen entered the main hall.
"Brother, what brings you here at this hour?" Mo Beichen walked into the Hall of Diligent Governance and sat down in a chair. He said helplessly.
"Oh, nothing much. Just wondering how you've been lately," Emperor Yongshun said with a smile.
"It's fine," Mo Beichen said casually.
Emperor Yongshun also knew that Mo Beichen was always aloof. Only he could break through his cold demeanor and see the richness of his expressions.
