Chapter 408 The evidence is conclusive, they deserve to die!
At this moment, a sword with a cold glow came like lightning. Bai Xianzhe's pupils dilated, and he quickly pulled the guard beside him and ruthlessly blocked him in front of him.
The guard's body trembled suddenly, and then he vomited blood, staining his clothes red. Bai Xianzhe threw the guard away in disgust, stepped back a few steps, looked around with lingering fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Who?"
Tianyi and Mo Yifan's eyes fell on the sword that was deeply embedded in the guard's flesh at the same time, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes at the same time.
An extremely cold voice, like a winter wind, came from far away, "Bai Xianzhe, you are so majestic!"
Bai Xianzhe's heart started pounding as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand. He tried to calm down, but he couldn't hide his inner panic.
After a while, Mo Liyuan's figure appeared on the execution ground like a ghost. His eyes were as cold as ice, suffocating.
Bai Xianzhe looked at Mo Liyuan's eyes, which could freeze everything, and swallowed involuntarily. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Regent, the Emperor has ordered the execution of everyone in the Duke of Huguo's mansion. Are you going to disobey him? Shouldn't you be in Fengcheng, attacking the rebels?"
Mo Liyuan looked at Bai Xianzhe coldly, a disdainful smile on his lips: "Go back and tell him that I have secured the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Get lost!"
Bai Xianzhe pointed at Mo Liyuan with a trembling finger, "Prince Regent, the Emperor has issued an order that they must be executed today."
Mo Liyuan's voice was extremely cold. "If you continue talking nonsense, I will execute you first."
Bai Xianzhe was frightened by Mo Liyuan's aura. He trembled all over with fear and turned around in panic to flee the execution ground.
Upon seeing this, the imperial guards scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to stay for even a moment.
At the execution ground, Lan Shenye saw this and immediately rushed forward and neatly untied the rope for the Duke of Protectorate.
At the same time, Tianyi also brought other secret guards to quickly untie the other people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion one by one.
Mo Yifan looked at Mo Liyuan, his eyes full of grievance: "Little uncle, you don't know that I was just demoted to a commoner by my father."
Mo Liyuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, "Promising!"
Mo Yifan curled his lips and said, "Little uncle, I don't care. I am already a commoner, and I definitely can't go back to the prince's mansion. You have to take care of my accommodation and food in the future."
The old Duke was carefully supported by Lan Shenye, his steps staggering. With trembling hands, the old Duke bowed deeply, his voice filled with endless gratitude: "Thank you, Regent, for saving our entire palace."
Seeing this, Mo Liyuan quickly reached out to support the old Duke, "Old Duke, you don't have to do this. Mo Yifan, send the Duke of Protector and the others back safely."
Mo Yifan responded, but couldn't help but ask curiously: "What about you, little uncle?"
Before he finished speaking, Mo Liyuan gave him a sharp look, and Mo Yifan immediately fell silent. He obediently led a group of people to escort the people from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion out of the execution ground.
After everyone left, Lan Shenye stepped forward, his expression somewhat anxious: "Regent, where is Yueyue? Didn't she come back with you?"
A subtle tenderness flashed across Mo Liyuan's eyes. "Yueyue is tired from traveling. I will return first, and she will follow shortly."
After hearing this, Lan Shenye felt relieved. He bowed and turned to leave.
Looking at the backs of the crowd gradually walking away, Mo Liyuan's face instantly turned cold.
He said in a deep voice: "Tianyi, bring your men and follow me into the palace."
Tian Yi responded.
Inside the palace, in the imperial study, Bai Xianzhe lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince Regent has returned and asked me to tell Your Majesty that he will protect the people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor was furious and swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground. "Asshole! Shouldn't he be in Fengcheng attacking the rebels? Why did he come back so suddenly?"
Bai Xianzhe lowered his head even lower, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes: "Yes, I asked the Regent the same question, but not only did he not respond, he told me to get lost!"
The emperor looked at Bai Xianzhe coldly, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "I gave you so many imperial guards, and you're really going to leave?"
Bai Xianzhe's voice trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, the Regent threatened me that if I didn't leave, he would execute me..."
"Waste! All of you are waste!" The emperor's roar echoed in the imperial study. The atmosphere in the imperial study instantly dropped to freezing point, and every breath seemed to carry a heavy sense of oppression.
At this moment, Mo Liyuan strode in, his eyes calm and deep, "My royal brother is still so prone to anger." He walked aside and sat down.
The emperor glared at Eunuch Fu behind him. His eyes were as cold as ice, making people shudder.
Eunuch Fu's body trembled violently, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, secretly complaining in his heart: "The emperor has nothing to do with me. It was the regent who forbade me to report it!" Although he wailed in his heart, he dared not make a sound.
The emperor looked sharply at Mo Liyuan, who was leisurely and contented beside him, and asked in a questioning tone: "Why did you come back suddenly? What's the situation in Fengcheng? Where is that evil son Mo Jicang? Has he been caught?" Every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Mo Liyuan smiled lightly, that smile carrying a hint of sarcasm and indifference: "Why would I bring Mo Jicang back?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face instantly turned ashen. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "That bastard Mo Jicang dared to rebel. Weren't you leading the troops to quell the rebellion? Why did you bring him back? Or is Mo Jicang already dead?"
Mo Liyuan shook his head slightly, "He's not dead. He's returned to Youzhou with his rebels."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor was furious. He stood up abruptly, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat someone: "Mo Liyuan! You personally led the troops, and you thought you could let Mo Jicang escape back to Youzhou? Even if he escaped back to Youzhou, why didn't you continue to lead the troops to attack Youzhou? What on earth are you thinking?"
Mo Liyuan glanced at the emperor indifferently, his tone tinged with indifference: "Is it possible for me to lead my troops to attack Youzhou? To bring about the tragic death of the entire Protectorate's mansion? My Royal Brother, are you so intolerant of the Protectorate's mansion, or are you so intolerant of me, your own men?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression darkened. He snorted coldly, "The evidence is irrefutable that the Duke of Huguo's residence is colluding with Western Chu. They deserve to die!"
Mo Liyuan sneered, "Damn it? My Royal Brother, you've probably forgotten that the Duke of the Protectorate once saved our father's life on the battlefield. He followed our father through many campaigns and made great contributions. Just based on a letter from an unknown source, you're accusing the Duke of the Protectorate of a crime? My Royal Brother, are you trying to be a tyrant?"
