Chapter 377 Your Majesty, urgent news from Fengcheng!
Qian Duoduo looked at Chuchun's bitter face and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry about it. Three thousand imperial guards couldn't even break into the Regent's Palace. Isn't this a clear sign of the Regent's immense power?" She spoke with a touch of ease, yet she also mentioned with envy, "I really envy Yueyue's martial arts skills. Chuchun, do you think it would be feasible for me to ask Yueyue to teach me martial arts?"
Xiaohong smiled when she heard this, "Miss, practicing martial arts is very tiring and difficult. Not everyone can do it. You'd better forget it."
Qian Duoduo was immediately displeased when she heard this and glared at Xiaohong. "This time, I'm determined and I'm not afraid of hardship." After a pause, she said, "That Yueyue has left, so let's go too, to find..."
Upon hearing this, Xiaohong's eyes flashed with cunning, and she jokingly said, "Looking for Master Lan!"
When Qian Duoduo heard this, he was so angry that he knocked Xiaohong on the forehead.
"You naughty girl, teasing me again." The master and servant left while talking and laughing.
Chu Xia worriedly asked, "Chu Chun, will something happen in the Regent's Mansion? Will it affect the wedding the day after tomorrow?"
Chuchun shook her head. "The Regent is so powerful, it shouldn't affect the wedding." There was some uncertainty in her voice.
At this time, Lan Xiyue had already arrived at the Regent's Palace.
The smell of blood made her brows furrow instantly, and her eyes revealed a bit of coldness.
The secret guards were washing the blood off the ground with buckets of water. When they saw Lan Xiyue coming, they stopped what they were doing and shouted respectfully, "Princess!"
Lan Xiyue nodded and walked into the palace gate.
When Tian saw Lan Xiyue, he hurried forward and said, "Princess!"
Lan Xiyue's gaze was as sharp as a torch, and she asked directly, "Where is Mo Liyuan?"
Tianyi bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Princess, the master has just returned to the palace. The Queen Mother learned about what happened last night and fell ill from anger."
Lan Xiyue frowned upon hearing this, "Entering the palace?"
"Yes, Princess. Last night's incident caused a lot of uproar. When the Queen Mother learned about it, she fell ill."
Lan Xiyue walked forward, and wherever she looked, she saw many secret guards with injuries coming from all directions.
Tianyi observed the man's expression and explained, "During the battle with the Imperial Guards last night, many of the secret guards were injured. They are now at the palace pharmacy, being treated by Yao Lao."
After hearing this, Lan Xiyue quickened her pace and went straight to the pharmacy.
Inside the pharmacy, Yao Lao was bustling with activity. Seeing Lan Xiyue arrive, a hint of joy crossed his face. "The little princess is here! My old bones are worn out. Look, there are quite a few seriously injured. I'm so busy I'm dizzy."
Lan Xiyue didn't say much. She walked directly to the seriously injured secret guards and began to treat them.
Upon seeing this, Yao Lao and the palace physician of the royal palace tacitly handed the seriously injured secret guards over to Lan Xiyue, while they dealt with those who were not seriously injured.
On the other side, inside the palace, Mo Liyuan stood in front of the bed, looking at the Queen Mother lying on the bed.
The empress dowager finally woke up after the imperial physician gave her acupuncture.
She looked at Mo Liyuan, "Yuan'er, he is your royal brother..."
Mo Liyuan interrupted the Queen Mother, "Mother, just because he is my brother, haven't I given in enough over the years?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother started coughing violently.
The nanny quickly stepped forward to help her up and smooth her back.
Mo Liyuan looked coldly at the imperial physician beside him. The imperial physician, overwhelmed by his aura, said tremblingly, "Prince Regent, the Queen Mother is old and in poor health. She must not get angry."
Mo Liyuan took a deep breath, his eyes solemn. He stared at the Queen Mother quietly. When her violent coughing finally subsided, he slowly spoke, "Mother, I have ordered everyone to prepare and escort you to Huguo Temple to recuperate."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly raised her head, and her eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, flashed with vigilance. "What exactly do you want to do by sending me away?" There was a hint of questioning and trembling in her voice.
"What could this son possibly mean? I am simply concerned that your mother is in poor health. Huguo Temple is a place of tranquility and will be of great benefit to your recovery."
The Queen Mother stared at Mo Liyuan, her eyes seeming to see through his heart.
After a moment, she sighed softly, "I won't go to Huguo Temple. I want to see your wedding with my own eyes, and watch you and Yue'er get married."
Mo Liyuan nodded slightly, a soft look flashing in his eyes. "Okay, after your wedding, Yue'er and I will escort your mother to the Huguo Temple. After the wedding, I will personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion."
The Queen Mother frowned upon hearing this. "What? You're going to lead troops to quell the rebellion right after your wedding? Didn't the Emperor already send someone?"
Mo Liyuan's expression instantly turned grim. "Gao Yuan and Meng Yu, those two so-called generals, are nothing but good-for-nothings! They've been completely defeated and have retreated to Fengcheng."
The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, and her face turned pale instantly. "What? Why is there no news at all?"
"I believe that news from Fengcheng will arrive today or tomorrow."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Alas! What on earth is Ji Cang thinking? How dare he collude with the remnants of King Xiaoyao! Concubine De has always been a quiet and gentle person. How could her son have such great ambitions? Or is Concubine De also a hypocrite?"
After saying this, the Queen Mother looked at Mo Liyuan's indifferent expression and frowned, "Is there anything else that I don't know? You are not allowed to hide it from me. Tell me what's going on."
Mo Liyuan waved his hand gently, signaling the imperial physician, nanny and palace maids serving in the room to leave.
Mo Liyuan said calmly, "Mo Jicang, he is not my brother's biological son. He was the son of the remnants of King Xiaoyao, who orchestrated a plan to replace the flesh and blood of Concubine De."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked at Mo Liyuan in disbelief: "Is this true? That De Fei's child..."
Mo Liyuan's eyes were deep, "That child has been gone since the day he was swapped."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but stroke her forehead and sigh, her eyes filled with regret and anger. "De Fei has been under house arrest these days. I went to visit her and saw how haggard she was. I felt pity for her. If she knew that the child she raised with so much painstaking effort was someone else's, how could she bear such a blow? Prince Xiaoyao, even to this day, still refuses to give up and attempts to overthrow the government."
Mo Liyuan lowered his eyes slightly, "Mother, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters. After your son's wedding, you can go to the Huguo Temple to recuperate. I will take care of everything."
The Queen Mother thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said after a long while, "Okay, I will listen to you."
Mo Liyuan nodded, strode out of the bedroom, and left a message: "Have a good rest, mother. I will take my leave."
Meanwhile, in the Emperor's chambers, a solemn atmosphere reigned. The Emperor, having just taken the medicinal decoction carefully prepared by the imperial physician, still looked pale.
Eunuch Fu hurried in, clutching an expedited letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, urgent news from Fengcheng."
