The main reason he's so worried is that Jiang Jing is currently pregnant.
The next day, Mo Yuhan prepared to leave the palace. He had made ample preparations for this trip, hoping to take down Prince Cheng in one fell swoop.
Only by obtaining all the evidence of King Cheng's rebellion can King Cheng be forced to step down.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Cheng, who was outside the palace, also received the news. Upon hearing that Mo Yuhan had left the palace at this time, he couldn't help but sigh and say that Heaven was helping him.
What he was thinking was that if that damned emperor really left the palace, then if he were to make a move, his chances of winning would be much greater.
Inside the palace, there might be many unknown dangers lurking, but outside the palace, things are much better.
"Have you found out when that dog emperor is leaving and where he's going?"
The servant in front of him nodded to King Cheng. He definitely had to find out the truth about this matter, otherwise, if King Cheng lost his temper, no one would be able to stop him.
"Your Majesty, I have already inquired about this. Your Majesty plans to travel south to explore the small towns near our palace and see what their local customs and traditions are like. The plan is to spend a few days there."
Upon hearing what the servant said, King Cheng nodded in satisfaction. He then ordered the servant to summon all the ministers who had partnered with him and told them the plan and route in front of them.
The others nodded in agreement when they heard Cheng Wang's plan, mainly because the plan sounded very good.
"I believe Your Highness's plan is truly flawless! The Great Xing Dynasty will soon belong to Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, King Cheng smiled with satisfaction and immediately addressed the ministers on the ground in a loud voice.
"Don't worry! When I ascend the throne, I guarantee you'll all get your share of the benefits."
Now everyone was overjoyed. They had been planning for so long, just waiting for this day.
That day is almost here.
No one could fathom how excited these ministers were at that moment; the thought of the power that was about to be theirs filled them with immense excitement.
"This plan is flawless, so it can only succeed and cannot fail. If it fails, all of us will be finished."
Prime Minister Jiang immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! We will definitely achieve a great victory in this plan."
King Cheng took out the prepared route map and showed it to his ministers.
"That dog emperor will pass through an uninhabited mountain range. Our men will lie in ambush there. I intend to go there myself."
Hearing the minister
When King Cheng wanted to go there in person, the other ministers instinctively tried to stop him, so they immediately spoke to King Cheng with anxious expressions.
"Your Highness, you can let others handle this. There's no need for you to go personally. After all, swords have no eyes, and what if you accidentally get injured?"
Although the minister's words were true and for the good of King Cheng, the very confident King Cheng still insisted on going himself.
"I want to go there myself and take that dog emperor's head."
Since King Cheng had said so, no one else tried to persuade him further, because they knew that no matter how they tried, King Cheng would not listen to them.
Meanwhile, Mo Yuhan was already prepared, just waiting for Prince Cheng to come to him.
Mo Yuhan had thought of everything that King Cheng could think of.
"Su Changde, if we pass through a mountain range, there are not many people there. When the time comes, Cheng Wang and his men will probably make their move there. Have our men lie in ambush there first."
Su Changde nodded; he thought so too.
Sure enough, when Mo Yuhan led his men through that vein the next day, a large group of people suddenly ran over from not far away. Perhaps the Prince was too confident! He didn't actually bring many people.
However, all of them wore face masks, not wanting anyone to see what they actually looked like.
Mo Yuhan immediately recognized that the man in the lead was Prince Cheng. In fact, anyone who knew him could easily guess who it was just by looking at his figure.
King Cheng led his men and rushed towards Mo Yuhan step by step. In no time, they arrived in front of Mo Yuhan.
To cooperate, Su Changde immediately stepped in front of Mo Yuhan as soon as he saw Prince Cheng approaching.
"Who are you people, and what do you want?"
The man in the lead slowly opened his mouth, his voice dry and unpleasant.
"What are you doing? We're here today for only one purpose: to go in and take your master's head."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuhan, who was standing next to him, laughed coldly.
"Then let's see if you take my head, or I take yours. Guards, take action! Kill everyone except Prince Cheng!"
Mo Yuhan's words stunned King Cheng, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
How could that dog emperor know it was him? He was so discreet; there was no way anyone could have known.
Thinking of this, King Cheng realized that Mo Yuhan was bluffing him, and he couldn't afford to lose his composure.
"Ha, what are you saying? What King Cheng? I don't understand. Today I'm here on someone's behalf to take your head. Enough with the nonsense, make your move."
As soon as King Cheng finished speaking, the people behind him rushed towards Mo Yuhan and his group. Their target was very clear: Mo Yuhan.
Mo Yuhan and Su Changde exchanged a glance, and soon, a large number of people emerged from all directions.
Seeing so many people suddenly appear, King Cheng was dumbfounded and didn't understand what was going on.
With so many people, it's obvious they have a plan, but he clearly remembers that their plan couldn't possibly be discovered in advance unless there's a mole among them.
Thinking of this, King Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
What he was thinking was that when he got back today, he had to find out who the mole was, otherwise, keeping him around would be a huge disaster.
But as more and more people emerged from all directions, King Cheng's expression instantly turned ugly.
Sensing that the situation was not good for them, Prime Minister Jiang immediately shouted to Prince Cheng.
"Your Highness, in this situation, we simply cannot win. We must retreat quickly. The Emperor must know about our plan for today; otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for people to ambush us here beforehand."
King Cheng had also considered this problem, but it was too late to retreat now.
