Chapter 253 The Regent is demolishing the Imperial Observatory!
Lan Zhenrong looked at Lan Xiyue and said, "Why don't you change into some decent clothes and accompany Eunuch Fu to the palace to meet the emperor." He then looked at Eunuch Fu and said, "Eunuch Fu, please take a seat and have some tea and snacks. Someone, bring the tea and snacks..."
Eunuch Fu said indifferently: "No need. Miss Lan, please follow me into the palace quickly and don't keep the emperor waiting for too long." After that, he waved his whisk, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Lan Xiyue tidied up the loose hair on her forehead and followed him out.
She whispered a few words to Chuxia beside her, and then took Chuchun into the palace.
After entering the palace, Chuchun lowered her head, clenched her hands, and was so nervous that she could almost hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue whispered comfortingly, "Don't be nervous, relax. We are only going to see the emperor, not to go to the battlefield."
Although Hatsuharu responded with a "hmm", she still couldn't suppress her inner nervousness.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue said no more.
At the same time, Mo Liyuan was in the Imperial Observatory, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the tea table, making crisp sounds.
Supervisor Cao Yiyuan and Deputy Supervisor Zhang Huaiyi lowered their heads, sweat dripped down their cheeks, and their bodies trembled slightly.
Mo Liyuan's voice was cold and icy. "This prince wants to get married on an auspicious date within the next three months. If you can't even do this, then this Imperial Observatory has no need to exist."
Cao Yiyuan and Zhang Huaiyi knelt on the ground upon hearing this. Cao Yiyuan's voice was filled with tears: "Regent Prince, this year is not a good time for marriage..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a teacup that suddenly fell on him.
Mo Liyuan casually threw the teacup beside him at Cao Yiyuan, and blood gushed out instantly, but he didn't dare to move at all, just shivering in pain.
"Not suitable for marriage? What if I insist on getting married within three months?" Mo Liyuan's voice became even colder.
Cao Yiyuan and Zhang Huaiyi looked at each other, their eyes full of despair and helplessness.
The emperor had already ordered them that if the regent came, they should say that it was not appropriate to get married this year. They dared not disobey the emperor's order, and they could not bear the regent's anger. They said they felt very bitter.
Mo Liyuan frowned. If his mother had not said that an auspicious date must be chosen for the wedding, if he acted rashly and ignored the auspicious date, his mother would have made a fuss again. There could not be any mistakes in his and Yue'er's wedding, and everything had to go smoothly.
However, the director and deputy director of the Imperial Observatory told him that there was no suitable auspicious day this year.
Mo Liyuan sneered inwardly. How could he not know who was behind this? His patience was exhausted, yet these two continued to speak in this way.
Mo Liyuan said coldly, "Tianyi, tear down the Imperial Observatory for me."
Tianyi was startled when he heard this, and his eyes involuntarily looked at his master. Was he really going to demolish it or was he just trying to scare these two?
Cao Yiyuan and Zhang Huaiyi were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly, "Prince Regent, please calm down, please calm down. This building cannot be demolished..."
Mo Liyuan's cold eyes swept over Tianyi, like a knife, "Tianyi, didn't you hear what I said?" Tianyi's heart trembled, he swallowed and responded.
At the same time, Lan Xiyue came to the imperial study and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The emperor did not say anything, but reviewed the memorials as if Lan Xiyue did not exist.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lan Xiyue's legs had been half bent for a long time, and the pain was unbearable.
She cursed inwardly, what on earth was this bastard emperor up to? He summoned her to the palace, and when she arrived, she remained silent. Damn, was this emperor ill?
"System, I want to kill the dog emperor now!"
The system helplessly responded: "Dear host, even if you are not afraid of lightning strikes, your points are not enough for 100 million now. Once the mission target dies, you will die immediately."
Lan Xiyue was filled with grief and indignation. She had been reborn, hoping to live a carefree life, but she had never imagined her life would be so precarious. If Mo Liyuan died, she would also die without enough points; if the Dog Emperor died, she would also die immediately.
"System, I'm so miserable. My life could be in danger at any moment. Woo…"
System: "My dear host, if you accumulate enough points, your life will no longer be threatened. You must also marry the Regent as soon as possible. That way, you can be together every day, earning points during the day and at night. It won't be long before the host is no longer threatened."
"Tsk~ That's easy. First, 100 million points, and then there's my lifespan over several decades. A normal year has 365 days, and a leap year has 366 days. Let's say there are 365 days in a year. I'm 16 now, so even if I live to 80, it will take 64 years. Can you help me calculate how many points I need to save?"
System: "Uh... If the host lives to be eighty years old, it will cost about 2.33 million."
"Well, then we can only kill the dog emperor." Lan Xiyue glanced at the dog emperor, who was still reviewing memorials. She simply fell to the ground and sat down directly on it. It was so comfortable. Damn, her legs were too soft. This dog emperor, as soon as he came, gave her a warning.
An untimely noise broke the silence. The emperor stopped writing and his eyes instantly became as sharp as a blade, shooting straight at the source of the sound.
"How dare you! Lan Xiyue, who told you to sit on the ground?"
Lan Xiyue lowered her head upon hearing this, suppressing the coldness in her eyes, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm being rude, it's just that I've been bowing for too long and my legs are so weak."
"Look up."
Lan Xiyue raised her head and her eyes met the emperor's.
The emperor narrowed his eyes. No woman had ever dared to look him in the eye like that. Her composure made the emperor look at her a few more times.
"I heard that you liked the prince and pursued him desperately before?"
There was no evasion in Lan Xiyue's eyes. "Your Majesty, that's all in the past."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's lips curled up into a meaningful smile: "What if I allow the Crown Prince to marry you as his consort?"
What? Didn't the damn emperor already decree a marriage between her and the regent?
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I didn't understand love before and thought I loved the Crown Prince. It wasn't until I met the Regent that I finally understood what love was."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes narrowed instantly, and a cold murderous intent quietly spread.
What ungrateful people, what trash, they can't even kill a woman, what trash they are!
System: "Dear host, this dog emperor has murderous intentions towards you, host, be careful."
Lan Xiyue naturally felt the murderous intent in the Dog Emperor's eyes. Dog Emperor, you'd better not force me, otherwise, the worst that could happen is that I will die together with you.
At this moment, a burst of hurried and messy footsteps broke the silence in the imperial study, and Eunuch Fu walked in hurriedly, trembling.
With a "thump", Eunuch Fu knelt on the ground. The sound of his knees hitting the ground echoed in the empty imperial study, sounding particularly harsh.
Lan Xiyue's mouth twitched. Damn, it hurts her just listening to it. These ancient people kneeled all the time, doesn't it hurt?
Eunuch Fu's voice trembled, "Your Majesty... just now... just now, the eunuchs from the Imperial Observatory came to report that the Regent is demolishing the Imperial Observatory!"
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. "Immediately summon the Prince Regent to the Imperial Study." The emperor's voice was low.
"Yes." Eunuch Fu quickly got up, bent his body, and retreated carefully. As he left, he glanced at Lan Xiyue who was sitting on the ground.
