Chapter 378: Report any disturbance immediately
The emperor frowned, took the letter and glanced through it quickly.
After a moment, he shouted angrily: "Asshole!"
Eunuch Fu and everyone in the hall were so frightened that they trembled all over and fell to their knees on the ground, not daring to breathe.
The emperor's face turned pale, his eyes filled with anger: "Gao Yuan and Meng Yu, these two are useless!"
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense, Mo Liyuan strode in and said nonchalantly, "Royal brother, anger is harmful to your health. You should take care of yourself!"
Mo Liyuan walked slowly to the side of the hall and sat down casually, his posture revealing unruly and arrogant.
The Emperor glared at Mo Liyuan, "You're becoming even more unruly now. You even came in without permission."
Mo Liyuan sneered, "My royal brother is becoming more and more brainless now."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened in anger, as if he wanted to eat Mo Liyuan alive.
"How dare you!" The word roared out of his mouth.
Mo Liyuan's gaze leisurely swept across the hall, at the palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground and trembling.
He said in a cold voice: "Everyone, step back!"
The palace maids and eunuchs stood up tremblingly as if they had been pardoned, and crawled out of the hall.
When only the two brothers were left in the hall, the emperor sneered and pierced Mo Liyuan with his eyes like ice blades.
"Mo Liyuan, you are so brave!"
"Am I wrong? The Nanzhao and Beidi states bid farewell to my brother this morning. My brother was so arrogant last night, sending three thousand imperial guards to attack my regent palace. Is he afraid that other nations won't know that my brother and I are at odds?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor's anger subsided a little. He looked at Mo Liyuan with a complicated expression and was speechless for a moment.
The hall fell into a brief silence.
Mo Liyuan's gaze deepened, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "The Northern Di have always been ambitious, and the Nanzhao Kingdom is also unwilling to pay tribute to our Dongyao every year. Now that Mo Jicang has rebelled in the country, we are facing internal and external troubles. How do you plan to deal with this, my royal brother?"
The emperor was shocked, but he forced himself to remain calm. He snorted coldly, "What dare the Northern Di and Southern Zhao do? We, Dongyao, are a great nation. How can we allow them to act so presumptuously?"
Mo Liyuan sneered even more, with a sharp glint in his eyes.
"My Royal Brother is truly full of confidence. Don't forget, there's also the Western Chu Kingdom, eyeing us covetously. They've been recuperating over the years, and their national strength shouldn't be underestimated. Meanwhile, our Dongyao treasury is empty, and people's livelihoods are in decline..."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor was furious and pointed his finger at Mo Liyuan, "Don't think I don't know. Besides you, who else has the ability to empty the national treasury? And the Crown Prince's disappearance is definitely related to you!"
Mo Liyuan slowly stood up. He glanced at the person opposite him calmly, and his voice was as cold as the wind: "After my wedding, I will personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion. I don't want any more trouble to happen on the occasion of my wedding. Otherwise, I don't mind letting Dongyao Kingdom fall into complete chaos." After speaking, he strode out of the hall.
The emperor stood there in a daze, his eyes following Mo Liyuan's departing back, the anger in his chest burning like ignited firewood.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from exertion, his lips trembling slightly. "Mo Liyuan, you're so good! You actually threatened me!"
When Eunuch Fu saw the Regent walking away, he walked in, only to see that the Emperor suddenly vomited blood and fell limply.
Eunuch Fu was terrified and shouted loudly: "Come here, come here, quickly call the imperial physician!"
For a moment, the palace was in chaos, and the imperial doctors rushed in to treat the emperor.
At the same time, Mo Liyuan had left the palace and headed straight for the barracks.
The secret guard suddenly appeared and reported in a low voice: "Master, the princess came to the mansion after you entered the palace and has been treating the seriously injured secret guards."
Mo Liyuan's lips curled up unconsciously when he heard this, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Well, I understand. Tell the princess that I'm going to the military camp to handle some business, and I'll come back to her after I'm done."
He thought to himself that he couldn't follow the rule of not meeting each other a month before the wedding. He had planned not to disturb Yue'er three days before the wedding, but since she had come to the palace on her own initiative, how could he not see her?
As night fell, the affairs of the barracks finally came to an end.
Mo Liyuan hurried back to the palace, only to see Lan Xiyue sitting there tiredly, her hands trembling slightly from treating the seriously injured secret guard for a long time.
Mo Liyuan stepped forward with concern, gently picked her up, and walked towards the hot spring pool: "Yuer, soak in the hot spring first and relax."
Lan Xiyue put her arms around his neck and called out softly, "Mo Liyuan!"
Arriving at the hot spring pool, Lan Xiyue stepped into it. Still immersed in the warm water, she slowly closed her eyes, letting the warm water envelop her and wash away her fatigue.
After a while, Lan Xiyue slowly opened her eyes, stood up and walked out of the hot spring pool. Water droplets slid down her jade-like skin. She put on the clothes that had been prepared long ago. Just as she finished dressing, Mo Liyuan strode in. Without saying a word, he picked up Lan Xiyue and walked towards the main courtyard with steady steps.
Inside the house, the candlelight flickered, and the table was filled with delicious food, the aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
Lan Xiyue looked at the table full of delicious food and her stomach couldn't help but growl.
Seeing this, Mo Liyuan curled up a gentle smile and personally picked up some food for her with gentle and delicate movements.
Lan Xiyue didn't hesitate and started eating with big mouthfuls.
After dinner, Lan Xiyue leaned back in her chair contentedly, not wanting to move at all.
Seeing this, Mo Liyuan gently picked her up, walked to the bed, and gently put her down.
He said softly, "Yuer, rest here with me tonight."
Lan Xiyue closed her eyes and responded softly with a "hmm".
Mo Liyuan carefully covered her with the quilt, watched her gradually fall asleep, kissed her forehead with heartache, and then quietly left the room and went to the study.
In the study, candlelight was bright. Mo Liyuan sat in front of the desk with a serious expression, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.
Tianyi walked in solemnly and whispered, "Master, the King of Beisai has not left. He said that Princess Linchuan rarely comes back and wants to stay a while longer."
Upon hearing this, Mo Liyuan's eyes flashed with a coldness. He said in a deep voice, "Keep a close eye on Wei Wuxian. Report any signs of trouble immediately."
Tianyi took the order and left, and the study returned to peace again.
The next morning, Lan Xiyue slowly opened her eyes.
She saw Mo Liyuan looking at her tenderly. Mo Liyuan chuckled and said, "Yue'er is awake. It's still early. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Lan Xiyue shook her head, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and sat up: "No, I'll go see the secret guard I treated yesterday."
As she said that, she got up and got out of bed.
