Chapter 410 What? The Emperor died suddenly? The Regent Princess ascended the throne?
Lan Xiyue's gaze inadvertently fell on the table, and she saw the emperor lying on it.
Her heart suddenly tightened, thinking that the emperor had met with an accident. She involuntarily pushed Mo Liyuan away, stood up and walked quickly forward to check. After confirming that the emperor was just unconscious, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Liyuan had walked up behind her at some point, his voice low and gentle: "Yuer, I just thought he was too noisy, so I knocked him out, not killed him."
Lan Xiyue turned around and asked, "Um, Mo Liyuan, should I take action now?"
Mo Liyuan smiled gently, with a hint of uninhibitedness and doting in his smile: "It depends on Yue'er's mood. You can take action whenever you want."
Lan Xiyue clenched her fists and thought to herself that procrastination would only bring more uncertainty and risks.
So, she thought about it, and a silver needle appeared in her hand. Her eyes were like torches, fixed on the dog emperor lying on the table.
Without hesitation, Lan Xiyue flashed and the silver needle pierced into the Dog Emperor's vital point accurately and quickly like lightning.
After a moment, the Dog Emperor's breathing stopped abruptly.
Lan Xiyue's heart surged with excitement, and she called out to the system eagerly: "System, system, the task will be completed soon."
The system's response was brief and affirmative: "Well, the host is great."
Mo Liyuan didn't even look at the emperor who was no longer breathing on the desk. He took Lan Xiyue's hand and the two of them strode out of the imperial study.
Just before stepping out of the imperial study, Mo Liyuan casually slapped Eunuch Fu who was standing beside him.
Eunuch Fu's body stiffened instantly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Then he fell to the ground powerlessly, his eyes wide open, full of astonishment, and he stopped breathing instantly.
Mo Liyuan held Lan Xiyue's hand, walked through the winding palace road, and came to a magnificent palace.
He pushed open the door and walked in with Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue looked at Mo Liyuan, her eyes full of confusion. What on earth was he planning? Just as she was wondering, Mo Liyuan raised his lips and gestured for her to look away.
Lan Xiyue followed his gaze and saw a golden dragon robe hanging on the screen.
She took a step forward in surprise and reached out to touch the delicate silk and exquisite embroidery.
There was a hint of disbelief in her voice: "Oh my god, Mo Liyuan, is this the dragon robe you made for me?"
Mo Liyuan slowly walked forward and gently hugged Lan Xiyue from behind.
His voice was low and gentle: "Well, isn't Yue'er going to ascend the throne? Naturally, she needs a dragon robe."
Lan Xiyue turned around and looked at Mo Liyuan with complicated eyes.
She whispered, "Actually, there's no need for a dragon robe. I'll just symbolically ascend the throne for one day, and then abdicate." There was a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in her voice; she felt like it was all a joke.
Mo Liyuan's fingers gently slid across Lan Xiyue's long black hair, and his voice was very gentle: "Yue'er, even if it's just for one day of ascending the throne, all these red tape must be prepared."
Lan Xiyue looked up at Mo Liyuan, her eyes flickering with anxiety: "Mo Liyuan, those court officials...will they..."
Mo Liyuan's eyes flashed with a fierce look, "Don't worry, Yue'er, I'll take care of everything." No one else's life was as important as Yue'er's. After saying this, he turned around and ordered in a cold voice, "Come here, help the princess change her clothes."
Following his order, a group of palace maids came in one after another. They bowed and respectfully stepped aside.
Mo Liyuan leisurely walked to the side and sat down, looking at Lan Xiyue tenderly: "Yuer, go change your clothes quickly."
Lan Xiyue was still a little dazed. It all happened so quickly, like a dream. She had thought this hidden mission was incredibly difficult, but she hadn't expected it to be accomplished so easily.
Surrounded by palace maids, she slowly walked behind the screen. Amidst the rustling sounds, the dragon robe gradually covered her slender body.
At the same time, outside the Fengtian Hall, the court officials looked at each other, their confusion evident in their words.
They could understand that Regent Mo Liyuan had suddenly returned to the capital to save the Duke's Mansion, but why had the Regent's men summoned them all to the palace? Even more puzzling was where the Emperor and the Prime Minister were.
The ministers were whispering to each other and discussing the matter.
Some speculated that the Regent might have an important decision to announce, however, no matter how they speculated, they could not predict what was about to happen.
After an unknown amount of time, a group of palace maids and eunuchs slowly walked over, surrounding Mo Liyuan and Lan Xiyue.
When the ministers saw Lan Xiyue wearing the dragon robe, they all widened their eyes and were shocked beyond words.
A minister pointed a trembling finger at Lan Xiyue and said in a sharp voice, "Princess Regent, how dare you wear the dragon robe? What are you trying to do?"
Mo Liyuan's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand lightly.
The minister was blown several meters away as if he had been hit hard, and fell heavily to the ground.
When the other ministers saw this, they all looked at each other in shock.
At this moment, an old minister stepped out, his voice trembling but firm, "Prince Regent, where is the Emperor? Even if you are incredibly powerful, it is absolutely impossible for the Princess Regent to wear the dragon robe. What on earth do you mean by this?"
Mo Liyuan's gaze, as cold as ice, swept over them. His voice was low and deep, "The Emperor has died suddenly, and today my wife ascends the throne as Empress. Ministers, if you have any objections, please keep them to yourself. Be sensible and don't force me into a massacre."
Outside the Fengtian Palace, there was a dead silence. The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. What? The emperor died suddenly?
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"What? The Emperor died suddenly? The Regent Princess ascended the throne?"
A senior official, his hair and beard all white, stood up with a face full of resentment. "Prince Regent, no matter what happened between you and the Emperor, even if the Emperor died suddenly, we wouldn't say anything if you ascended the throne. But how can a woman like you ascend the throne? There has never been a precedent for a woman ascending the throne in the history of our Dongyao Kingdom!"
Mo Liyuan curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, and glanced at the ministers nonchalantly: "Isn't it now?"
At this tense moment, the queen and all the concubines in the harem hurried over.
She stared at Lan Xiyue with a piercing gaze, her eyes brimming with poison. "Where's the Emperor? What have you done to him? Lan Xiyue, how dare you? How dare you wear the dragon robe?"
Lan Xiyue blinked lightly, a playful smile on her lips: "I'm already wearing it, why wouldn't you dare?"
The Queen was furious when she saw this. She shouted, "Come here, take the Regent Princess away!"
Mo Liyuan simply glanced at the Queen coldly, "Someone, come here! The Emperor has died suddenly. The Queen and the Emperor were deeply in love. Bring the Queen away to be buried with her brother. The funeral will be held in three days!"
