Chapter 315: The eldest prince was in Youzhou and incited the people of Youzhou to rebel
"Mo Liyuan, I'm going back first. I haven't been home for a few days. My brother must be worried about me."
Mo Liyuan heard this and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "I have already asked someone to inform your brother that I will take you out to play." After he finished speaking, he gently pulled the reins, and the horse continued to move forward, heading straight for the Regent's Palace.
When they arrived at the Regent's Palace, Mo Liyuan jumped off the horse with Lan Xiyue in his arms, and took her through the corridors with carved beams and painted buildings to the hot spring pool deep in the palace.
"Yu'er, take a hot spring bath first, then have lunch. I'll get you some clothes." Mo Liyuan's words were gentle, not allowing Lan Xiyue to refuse. Before he finished speaking, he disappeared by the hot spring pool in a flash.
Lan Xiyue lowered her head and smelled herself. Hmm, the smell was indeed a bit strong. Mo Liyuan was holding her all the way. Couldn’t he smell it?
Lan Xiyue herself was very disgusted. She quickly took off her clothes, and her shoes and socks fell to the ground, and stepped into the hot spring.
The warm water instantly enveloped her, as if every inch of her skin was cheering for joy. Lan Xiyue moaned in comfort, then closed her eyes, enjoying this rare comfort.
Lan Xiyue suddenly opened her eyes and turned around, only to see Mo Liyuan slowly approaching with a dress in his hand.
He squatted down and stroked her wet long hair with gentle eyes, as if he was treating a rare treasure.
Lan Xiyue's face instantly turned red. She was naked at the moment, and shyness and embarrassment were intertwined. She couldn't help but sink into the water.
Seeing this, Mo Liyuan raised a playful smile, his eyes gleaming with a teasing light: "Yuer, are you shy?"
Lan Xiyue glared at him and said coquettishly, "Get out first!"
Mo Liyuan chuckled, his voice low and magnetic: "Yuer, lunch is ready, I'll wait for you outside." After that, he stood up and strode away without teasing her anymore.
Lan Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief only after Mo Liyuan disappeared from sight. She quickly washed herself, then slowly stood up and walked out of the hot spring pool. She casually picked up the handkerchief Mo Liyuan had brought in and wiped the water droplets off her body. After putting on her clothes, she channeled her inner energy, and in a moment, her wet hair became dry and smooth.
Lan Xiyue picked up the hairband, tied a ponytail, and walked out with light steps.
When Mo Liyuan saw her come out, he took her hand and they walked to the hall. He pulled out a chair and motioned Lan Xiyue to sit down.
Lan Xiyue sat down obediently, and Mo Liyuan followed closely behind, sitting beside her and carefully picking up food for her. Every movement he made revealed his doting and care for her.
After lunch, Mo Liyuan brought Lan Xiyue to his bedroom.
He said softly, "Yuer, take a nap first."
Lan Xiyue looked at him, "Mo Liyuan, I'm not sleepy."
Mo Liyuan ignored her refusal, and directly hugged her to the bed, and gently pressed her to sit on the bed.
He squatted down and began to carefully take off her shoes and socks.
Before Lan Xiyue could react, Mo Liyuan forcefully and gently took her to the bed and made her lie down.
Mo Liyuan's arms held her tightly, his breath spraying on her neck, his voice low and hoarse, "Yuer, tomorrow is a good day."
Lan Xiyue's neck was tickled by him, and she couldn't help but twist it slightly, saying coquettishly: "Don't get so close, it's itchy!"
Mo Liyuan slowly raised his head, a gentle light glittering in his deep eyes. He gently placed a kiss on her smooth forehead, his voice so soft that it could drip water: "Yuer, get some sleep. Tonight, I will take you to see a good show."
Mo Liyuan's hand gently patted Lan Xiyue's back, and the rhythm seemed to soothe all the irritability and anxiety in people's hearts.
Lan Xiyue didn't feel sleepy at first, but under Mo Liyuan's gentle attack, her eyelids gradually became heavy and she finally fell into a sweet dream.
Looking at the sleeping Lan Xiyue, Mo Liyuan's eyes became unusually gentle.
He gently stroked her face, his fingertips conveying endless love and determination: "Yuer, I will make those who hurt you pay the price."
After kissing Lan Xiyue on the forehead again, Mo Liyuan stood up gently, straightened his clothes, and left the room.
In the study, An Shi had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Mo Liyuan come in, he quickly saluted with a respectful look.
Mo Liyuan sat down, his eyes sharp as a torch, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you ready?"
An Shi lowered his brows and replied submissively, "Master, Tianyi's men have already surrounded the Canglong Mountain Gorge. We will ensure that no one escapes."
Mo Liyuan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound. He sneered and thought to himself: Brother Royal, the assassins you painstakingly trained will be wiped out after tonight. I wonder what your expression will be when you find out about this?
An Shi said again: "Master, the secret guards have received intelligence and found the whereabouts of the eldest prince."
Mo Liyuan's eyes glared when he heard this: "Where?"
"The eldest prince is in Youzhou, inciting the people of Youzhou to rebel. This news will be reported back to the imperial city in a few days."
Mo Liyuan heard this and a sneer appeared on his lips. This was very interesting. There was a hint of amusement in his tone: "Mo Jicang, in what name are you rebelling?"
An Shi's face was solemn, and he whispered, "Master, the eldest prince rebelled in the name of King Xiaoyao. He said..." An Shi's voice trembled slightly, and he seemed unable to speak.
Mo Liyuan's eyes were like knives, coldly sweeping across An Shi.
An Shi lowered his head and spoke in a lower voice, "He said that the late emperor seized the throne that originally belonged to King Xiaoyao, and now he wants to take back what is rightfully his. The secret guards have found out that the eldest prince is not the emperor's son."
Mo Liyuan played with the jade ring in his hand. The ring was as smooth as jade, but it exuded a chill that should not be underestimated. He slowly said, "Mo Jicang, is he not the emperor's son?"
An Shi thought for a moment and continued to report: "Master, the secret guards have verified that the eldest prince is indeed not Concubine De's biological son. During the summer vacation at the palace, Concubine De gave birth and someone switched the baby. The eldest prince is actually the grandson of Prince Xiaoyao."
Mo Liyuan sneered again, his laughter containing both mockery and anticipation. "Prince Xiaoyao, what a clever trick! I will sit back and watch this wonderful show and see how my good brother will handle this sudden change."
Upon hearing this, An Shi muttered to himself: The Emperor has really pissed off the master this time. With such a big thing happening, the master is planning to just stand by and watch, ignoring everything?
Mo Liyuan waved his hand gently, signaling An Shi to retreat.
An Shi bowed and slowly left the study. The door closed gently, and the study returned to peace again.
