Chapter 549: Hmm? Are you questioning my orders?
The study in the Regent's Palace was like an ice cellar at this moment.
Mo Liyuan sat upright behind a large rosewood desk. The chill emanating from his body almost solidified into substance, making even the flickering candlelight seem a little dimmer.
He rushed back all the way, exhausted and dusty, traveling under the stars and moon, his heart and eyes filled with the desire to embrace the person he had been dreaming about, but he was left with nothing...
This huge gap is like a poisoned ice cone, piercing into the heart, and then stirred and churned by endless anxiety and violence.
He was in an extremely bad mood, like an iceberg suppressing raging flames, which could burst at any time and burn everything around it.
Tianyi held his breath and walked in almost on tiptoe.
The air in the study was thick and cold, and every breath was bitingly cold. He felt like his blood was about to freeze.
He spoke carefully, his voice extremely low, fearing that even the slightest noise would ignite the tense nerves. "Master, there is... there is news."
Mo Liyuan didn't look up, but his fingers on the table curled up slightly, and the knuckles turned white.
Tianyi continued with a stiff upper lip: "The secret guards found out that after the princess... the princess left the palace, she stayed in the Yunshui Villa in the western suburbs outside the city for one night, but... but at dawn the next day, she left in an inconspicuous carriage..." His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was almost as thin as a mosquito's whisper.
"And then?" Mo Liyuan finally raised his head. His deep eyes were like the abyss of a cold pond, icy and devoid of any human energy. He pierced Tianyi directly, "Where did they go?!"
Tianyi's scalp tingled under that gaze. He lowered his head deeply, almost burying it in his chest. "The carriage... the carriage disappeared like a drop of water after leaving the villa. There's no trace of it... no trace left. We've searched every possible route along the way, but there's no trace of the princess..."
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, a fine green jade pen holder next to Mo Liyuan's hand shattered, and fragments flew everywhere.
His face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, and there was a terrifying storm in his eyes.
The temperature in the study seemed to drop a few degrees again.
"Waste!" The cold voice rang out like shards of ice. "Pass on my order! Mobilize all the secret guards of the Dark Village! No matter where in the world, even if you have to turn the whole world upside down, you must find her for me as soon as possible! Now! Immediately!"
"Yes! I obey your command!" Tian Yi's heart trembled. He did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately bowed and retreated, almost fleeing to arrange this urgent order that was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The heavy study door closed again, isolating the outside world, but it couldn't contain the violent anger that was about to explode.
Mo Liyuan's chest heaved violently as he suddenly opened the drawer of the desk with a suppressed violence.
He took out a scroll from the deepest part, carefully and with great respect.
The scroll slowly unfolded, and a woman with a beautiful smile appeared on the paper. It was Lan Xiyue.
Her eyebrows were lively and her smile was sweet, as if carrying the warmth of sunshine, which instantly stung Mo Liyuan's frosty eyes.
His slender fingers trembled slightly as he gently stroked the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting, and the cold and hard outline seemed to soften for a moment.
A low, hoarse murmur filled with pain and confusion echoed in the silent study, like the howl of a wounded lone wolf:
"Yuer... where are you? You... don't want me anymore?"
This brief fragility is as fleeting as a shooting star.
Mo Liyuan suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the confusion and pain had been swallowed up by the deeper and thicker darkness, leaving only the bone-chilling coldness and the madness that destroyed everything.
We can’t touch the Queen Mother... then someone has to bear this overwhelming wrath!
Anya... the An family... and those Princess Wenshu who are fanning the flames in the Queen Mother's ears... none of them can escape!
He carefully rolled up the portrait and put it back in its place. His movements returned to his usual calmness, but with a heart-pounding determination.
He stood up suddenly, and his dark python robe drew a sharp arc in the candlelight.
"Tianyi!" The voice was not loud, but it penetrated the heavy door, carrying with it an unquestionable murderous aura.
Tianyi, who had just sent an urgent order to various places by carrier pigeon, felt his heart tighten when he heard the voice. He immediately flashed inside like a ghost and said, "Master!"
Mo Liyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his back as straight as a sword unsheathed, emitting a chilling chill. "The An family has failed to educate their daughter properly. Their crime is unforgivable! Summon all the secret guards in the palace to follow me in confiscating the property!"
"Search the property?!" Tianyi's pupils suddenly shrank. Even though he was used to his master's ruthless methods, he was still shocked by this sudden order.
Elder An is a veteran minister who has served three dynasties. His students and friends are spread across the government and the country, and his foundation is deep! Moreover, it is already late at night... This is like a bolt from the blue!
Mo Liyuan slowly turned around, his cold gaze like a blade scraping across Tianyi's cheek. "Hmm? Are you questioning my orders?"
The pressure and murderous intent in that gaze nearly froze Tianyi's blood. He suddenly knelt on one knee and said in a firm voice, "I dare not! I will do it immediately!"
The night is as dark as ink and the wind is biting cold.
The elite secret guards of the Regent's Palace came out in full force, like a group of silent black ghosts, rushing through the quiet streets.
Mo Liyuan sat high on the majestic black horse, wearing black clothes, with black hair and a stern face, like a demon god stepped out of the Nine Nether Hell.
A group of people came to the An Mansion and surrounded it. A solemn and murderous atmosphere filled the air, and even the lanterns hanging in front of the mansion gate were swaying wildly in the night wind.
Mo Liyuan didn't even get off the horse, he just raised his hand slightly and made a simple gesture.
A secret guard rushed out like an arrow, and with a tremendous force, he kicked hard on the heavy vermilion lacquered door!
"boom!!!"
A deafening roar ripped through the tranquility of the night! The bolts snapped, and the two doors swung open as if struck by a giant hammer! The roar instantly alarmed the entire An Mansion.
The doorman was so frightened that he rushed out, tumbling and crawling. He lost all sleepiness and stared in horror at the black-clad men outside the door, exuding a strong murderous aura. He screamed fiercely, "Who?! Who are you?! How dare you break into the An Mansion at night?! Are you trying to save your life..."
His shouting stopped abruptly, and his eyes passed over the black-clad secret guards and stared at the figure sitting upright on horseback, who looked like a devil descending into the world in the night.
"Regent...Regent?!" The servant's voice suddenly changed, filled with incredible fear.
Tian Yi stepped forward, expressionless, and kicked the stunned servant away. He hit the screen wall and fainted without a sound.
Mo Liyuan said coldly, "Seal off the entire mansion! Don't let anyone escape!"
