Chapter 257 Blowing up the Emperor's Bedroom
Lan Shenye sat at the table, his eyes wandering between Mo Liyuan and Lan Xiyue. He coughed lightly, "Regent, Yueyue, come and sit down for dinner."
Mo Liyuan took Lan Xiyue's hand, and they slowly walked to the stone table and sat down.
Although it was night, the weather was still a bit hot. They placed ice basins around to make it much cooler.
Lan Shenye looked at the ice basins around him and asked curiously, "Yueyue, what on earth did you come up with? You actually used saltpeter to make ice. Ice is hard to come by in this hot summer."
Lan Xiyue chuckled and said, "I'm smart."
Mo Liyuan looked at her lovingly, "Well, Yue'er is very smart. Mo Yifan uses saltpeter to make ice and sells it to high-ranking officials and nobles. He makes a lot of money. People come to him to buy ice every day."
Lan Xiyue looked at Mo Liyuan and snorted, "I got a share of the profit. Without me, you wouldn't know how to make ice."
Mo Liyuan nodded, "All of them are for you. If Yue'er likes them, you can take all the warehouses in my regent palace."
Lan Shenye felt that he shouldn't be here. He felt so redundant.
Lan Xiyue curled her lips, looked at the table full of delicious food, and frowned, "Chuchun, why don't you serve the wine? Bring it up, how can delicious food be served without good wine?"
Lan Shenye was helpless when he heard this, "Yueyue, drink less."
"Well, I'll just try it out, is that okay?"
Mo Liyuan picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fresh fish in the bowl for Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue gave Mo Liyuan a piece of braised pork in return. The tacit understanding and sweetness between the two made Lan Shenye, who was standing by, feel as if he had become a superfluous person in this warm scene.
Just then, Chuchun came over with a jar of wine. Seeing this, Lan Xiyue stood up, went straight to the jar, opened the seal, first filled a bowl for Mo Liyuan, and then poured a bowl for herself.
"Brother, don't look at me like that." Lan Xiyue picked up the wine bowl and winked at Lan Shenye, "You have an injury on your leg, don't touch this wine."
Lan Shenye shook his head helplessly, grinning bitterly inwardly. When did this sister become so uninhibited? Most people drank slowly, but she used a bowl instead of a cup. "Yueyue, drink less. Don't get drunk."
Lan Xiyue smiled and waved her hand, "Brother, don't worry, I know my limits. I'll just drink this one bowl. I have important things to do later, so I won't let myself get drunk."
This dinner was particularly unpalatable for Lan Shenye. He looked at the intimacy between his sister and the Regent, feeling mixed emotions.
After dinner, Lan Xiyue asked Xiao Muzi to push Lan Shenye back home.
Lan Shenye was very worried that Yueyue was with the Regent late at night.
Xiao Muzi pushed Lan Shenye away and said, "Don't worry, Master. I've seen that the Regent dotes on the young lady very much."
Lan Shenye sighed, "After all, they haven't gotten married yet."
………
Mo Liyuan hugged Lan Xiyue and went up to the roof. The two of them sat on the roof, with Lan Xiyue leaning on his chest. "Mo Liyuan, let's go to the palace later."
Mo Liyuan lowered his head, staring at the person in his arms, and asked softly, "What does Yue'er want to do?"
Lan Xiyue smiled evilly, "I want to take a walk around the palace."
Hearing this, Mo Liyuan curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile. He gently scratched Lan Xiyue's nose and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.
Lan Xiyue leaned in his arms and felt a little happy. He didn't ask anything and just spoiled her. It would be nice to spend the rest of her life with a man like this.
To live her life again, to have family and now a lover, such a life was so blissful. Once that ridiculous mission was completed, she could live the rest of her life in this world in a carefree manner.
She raised her head and looked at the stars in the night sky, and she started to earn points again.
It wasn't until midnight that Lan Xiyue's repetitive grind for points finally stopped. The system rang in her mind: "Host has gained 1,500 points. The total points are now 143,490."
Lan Xiyue stood up and stretched. She looked at Mo Liyuan and said, "Mo Liyuan, let's go to the Wuguo Marquis Mansion first."
Upon hearing this, Mo Liyuan didn't ask why. He put his arm around her waist, used his lightness skills, and in a flash, he rushed towards the Wuguo Marquis Mansion.
The moonlight was like water, and in the quiet night, two figures quietly came to the front of the Wuguohou Mansion.
Lan Xiyue had an idea and took out a bomb from her sleeve. A sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she threw the bomb straight towards the gate of Wuguohou Mansion.
Lan Xiyue pulled Mo Liyuan back quickly, and then there was a deafening "boom!"
The gate of the Wuguo Marquis Mansion was reduced to dust in an instant, and the wall next to it also collapsed, with dust flying and rubble scattering everywhere.
Mo Liyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. What was that thing Yue'er threw just now that could be so powerful?
Lan Xiyue looked at the mess in front of her and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
There was a hint of pain in this smile. You know, this bomb cost her 10,000 points, which was a bit expensive.
"Walk!"
Mo Liyuan hugged his body and flashed, rushing towards the palace.
In a moment, chaos broke out in the Wuguohou Mansion. Lan Zhenrong rushed out of the house with disheveled clothes. "What happened?"
The butler, breathless and in a panic, reported: "Master, this is terrible! The gate is gone, and the surrounding walls have collapsed!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhenrong's face turned extremely ugly. He hurried out and Aunt Hong followed him.
When he arrived at the gate, Lan Zhenrong looked at the ruins in front of him and his eyes turned red with anger.
He roared, "Who the hell did this?" His voice echoed in the night sky, but no one answered.
Lan Zhenrong was very angry. Who was it that was targeting their Wuguo Marquis Mansion everywhere?
In the emperor's bedroom, two figures landed silently on the glazed tiles on the roof.
"Yuer, let me see the thing you used to blow up the Wuguo Marquis Mansion just now." Mo Liyuan's voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of curiosity and amusement.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue slowly took out a small bomb from her sleeve and handed it to him.
Mo Liyuan took the bomb and examined it carefully, his fingers gently stroking every inch of its pattern, his eyes gleaming with wonder and disbelief. This seemingly insignificant gadget was incredibly powerful.
"Yuer, where did you get this stuff? It's more powerful than gunpowder."
Lan Xiyue smiled and said, "This is an improved version of gunpowder. I can't explain it to you clearly. Anyway, don't ask. I'm too lazy to explain."
Mo Liyuan raised his lips into an evil smile, raised his wrist, and threw the bomb towards the bedroom.
Then, he hugged Lan Xiyue, and his figure flashed and retreated to a safe place like a ghost.
"Boom!" With a loud and deafening noise, the bedroom collapsed instantly, rubble flew everywhere, and smoke and dust rose up.
The eunuchs guarding outside were all shocked and flew away, but fortunately no one was in danger of their lives.
Lan Xiyue widened her eyes, looking at the ruins in front of her in disbelief, and was terrified.
It’s over, it’s over…
"System, the dog emperor is dead. Am I going to die soon too... Woo... I haven't enjoyed life yet..."
Mo Liyuan looked at Lan Xiyue, whose eyes were empty, "Yuer, what's wrong?"
Lan Xiyue wanted to curse. This guy even had the nerve to ask her what was wrong. She was going to be mad at him. Although she came to blow up the palace tonight, she didn't want to blow up the dog emperor right now.
System: "Dear host, stay calm. No death of the Dog Emperor has been detected."
Lan Xiyue heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "System, this damn emperor is lucky! His palace is reduced to ruins, yet he's still alive."
Lan Xiyue looked at Mo Liyuan, "You...why did you throw it? Aren't you afraid of killing the emperor?"
Mo Liyuan's lips curled up into a faint smile: "He's not in the bedroom."
"Ah? Not in the bedroom? How did you know?" Lan Xiyue was instantly cheered up when she heard that.
Mo Liyuan looked at her with deep eyes, "Why is Yue'er worried about him?"
"Tsk... After all, he's the emperor of a country. If he died suddenly, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"With this king here, there will be no chaos."
