Chapter 409: Exchange successful, has exchanged 100 years of life for the host
The Emperor's eyes widened in anger, and he pointed a trembling finger at Mo Liyuan below him. His voice became sharp with anger: "How dare you! Mo Liyuan, I am the king and you are the subject. How dare you speak to me like that? I will strip you of your status as regent, demote you to a commoner, and exile you to the frontier!"
Mo Liyuan's expression turned cold. He slowly raised his head, a sneer on his face: "Ha! Then you shouldn't be the emperor anymore."
As soon as the words fell, the imperial study suddenly became eerily quiet.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then reacted and became furious: "You, Mo Liyuan, I knew you've always coveted my position and tried to usurp the throne!"
Mo Liyuan sneered, his laughter tinged with sarcasm and disdain. "You should know how you got to this position back then. Haven't you tried to assassinate me enough over the years? I've tolerated you time and again for the sake of my mother, but you've only pushed further. Do you really think I'm made of clay?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor roared, "I am the emperor! I am the chosen one by heaven. If you dare to rebel, you will be the enemy of the world! Someone come..." He shouted and slapped the armrests of the dragon throne.
Mo Liyuan was neither anxious nor slow. He waved his sleeve lightly and said, "Stop shouting. The leader of the Royal Guards has been killed by me. Now it's my men who are in charge."
Bai Xianzhe was horrified when he heard this. He looked at Mo Liyuan in disbelief, his voice trembling, "Regent, what do you mean by this? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Mo Liyuan's gaze swept across Bai Xianzhe like a sharp sword. He waved his hand lightly, and a powerful force knocked him away.
Bai Xianzhe vomited blood and fell to the ground, struggling to say something: "Your Majesty...save...me..." However, before he could finish his words, he died, his eyes wide open, full of fear and unwillingness.
The Emperor looked at Mo Liyuan with blazing eyes, his voice hoarse with anger: "I am your brother, how dare you kill the Prime Minister in front of me? Are you rebelling against heaven?"
Mo Liyuan played with the ring in his hand and sneered, "Well, you are right. This time I came back not only to save the Duke's Mansion, but also to overthrow your throne."
When the emperor heard what Mo Liyuan said, his blood boiled in his chest, and he could no longer suppress it. A mouthful of blood spurted out like an arrow, staining his clothes red. "You...you dare..."
Eunuch Fu knelt on the ground, witnessing this scene. He was so frightened that his whole body was trembling. He could only lie helplessly on the ground, not daring to move at all.
The emperor slumped limply on the dragon throne, staring at Mo Liyuan intently, "Mo Liyuan, you have coveted the throne for a long time, why did you wait until today?" The emperor's voice was hoarse and angry, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Mo Liyuan remained calm and just called out softly, "Tianyi!"
Upon hearing this, Tianyi strode into the hall and respectfully called out, "Master."
Mo Liyuan calmly instructed, "Wait at the city gate. When the princess arrives, take her into the palace immediately."
Tianyi responded, turned around and left with big strides.
The Emperor roared, "Mo Liyuan, I am your brother. How dare you do this? Aren't you afraid that if the Queen Mother finds out, she'll be mad at you and die?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Liyuan curled up his lips into a sneer. He waved his hand casually, and an invisible force knocked the emperor unconscious.
He said coldly: "Shut up!"
At the same time, Tianyi had already left the palace. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Lan Xiyue and An Yi.
He hurried forward, "Princess!"
Lan Xiyue looked up and saw Tianyi alone. She asked, "How's the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion? Where's Mo Liyuan?"
"Don't worry, Princess. Everyone in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion is fine. The master is in the palace and has specially sent his subordinates to bring you in."
Lan Xiyue felt relieved when she heard this, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.
She hurried towards the carriage, followed closely by Tianyi and Anyi, who drove the carriage towards the palace.
System: "Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host, the space upgrade was successful."
Lan Xiyue suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
With a thought, she eagerly entered the space, only to see that the originally clear stream had now turned milky white. She asked in surprise, "System, is this the spiritual spring water?"
System: "Yes, host..."
Lan Xiyue walked closer involuntarily, squatted down, scooped up the spiritual spring water with both hands, and took a sip.
In an instant, a warm current flowed from the lips and teeth to every limb and bone. The tired body seemed to be awakened by a mysterious force, and it became full of energy, as if it had endless energy.
Lan Xiyue's eyes widened in surprise, and she murmured, "System, this spiritual spring water is truly miraculous! I took a sip and instantly felt refreshed, as if I had endless energy."
System: "Yes, host, this spiritual spring water is a rare treasure. It can instantly restore physical strength and improve spirits. However, host, please don't forget our business."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue restrained her expression and said seriously, "System, the hidden task will be completed soon. After the task is completed, can we unbind it?" There was a hint of relief and expectation in her words.
System: "Yes, host, please don't be reluctant to part with this system!"
Lan Xiyue's mind stirred, and she thought of something. She hurriedly said, "Well, system, I'll exchange the remaining points for enough lifespan first."
System: "Host, you don't need to ask. After completing the mission, this system will redeem enough lives for the host. However, since the host has mentioned it now, let's redeem it in advance."
"Ding Dong! The exchange was successful. One hundred years of life have been exchanged for the host." The system's voice sounded again.
Lan Xiyue couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard that. A hundred years?
Suddenly, she chuckled and said, "That system, can all the remaining points be exchanged for weapons like bombs and pistols?"
System: "Of course! Host, you can also check out other useful items in the mall, which can be exchanged. After we unbind, these things will be gone if you want them."
When Lan Xiyue heard this, her eyes lit up instantly and she couldn't wait to open the mall.
A dazzling array of items came into view, and she browsed through them one by one, picking out quite a few that she liked.
She generously redeemed her points one by one, and even after using up all her points, she still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Oh, the things in the mall are too expensive, and there are so many things I want." Lan Xiyue sighed lightly.
System: "Master, don't forget to complete the mission immediately and you will receive 100 million points. You can exchange them later. Anyway, you still have one day to complete the mission. We will unbind you after one day."
Lan Xiyue nodded when she heard this. Yes, she still had 100 million points left after completing the task. She stopped worrying about it for a moment, and with a flash of thought, she left the space.
"Princess, we've arrived at the palace." Tianyi's voice rang out from outside.
Lan Xiyue got off the carriage, and Tianyi led the way, passing through long corridors with carved beams and painted rafters, and finally stopped at the door of the imperial study.
"Princess, the master is inside, please go in."
Lan Xiyue took a deep breath and walked in.
Mo Liyuan looked at Lan Xiyue as she came in. He waved to her, motioning her to come over.
Lan Xiyue walked closer and was gently pulled to sit on his lap.
