C187 (2/2)

Ye Shishuang squatted in front of Mo Nanxuan, expectantly looking at him, as if he did not know that state advisor was in jail.

Then, a look of disbelief appeared on her raised face.

”Your Majesty, please forgive me. Chenqie forgot that state advisor is in prison right now. It's all my fault. ”

Ye Shishuang's face changed drastically. Sweat trickled down his forehead as he did not dare to look Mo Nanxuan in the eye.

Now that Mo Nanxuan was suspicious of her, he could only mention what happened with state advisor.

”No worries!” It's already late, the empress should go back and rest! ”

Mo Nanxuan frowned, he suddenly stood up and ordered her to leave, his voice cold and decisive, showing no mercy.

Hearing that, Ye Shishuang bowed to him before leaving the Palace.

He had never called himself by name, not even his concubines in the palace.

Only Xu Jingyao. He affectionately called her 'Yao'er' and 'Jingyao'. Every time he mentioned this name, his eyes would be filled with tenderness. That had never happened to her before.

”Come out!”

Within the empty Imperial Palace, Mo Nanxuan called out to the pitch-black night sky, and a black figure appeared within the Aral Sun Palace.

”Go back and report to your master. I will agree to anything he says. I beg him to be lenient and not hurt a single hair on my son's head.”

Mo Nanxuan begged the black figure in front of him. His aged face was covered with a dense amount of fatherly love.

”As expected, the Emperor of Xi Liang accepts credits. Rest assured, the Second Prince will walk to you alive and well. ”

After saying that, the black shadow's hoarse voice disappeared into the darkness.

Following which, two shadows flew past the roof of the Aral Sun Palace and headed towards the west.

”Yao'er, our child is not dead. Did you hear that? The heavens have been kind to me, so that I can pay for the sins I have committed. ”Yao'er, don't worry. I will definitely save our child.”

Inside the quiet Aral Sun Palace, Mo Nanxuan caressed the drawing of the girl on the table and muttered softly.

Early the next morning, astonishing news exploded from Phoenix City:

state advisor, who had been trapped in prison for a long time, had actually sensed the location of the blood bead that had disappeared a hundred years ago. Last night, that glaring red light shot through the clouds and was witnessed by many martial artists. That was why everything state advisor said was true.

This news was like a tornado, and in just two days, it had spread across the entire continent. Everyone rushed to Phoenix City, afraid that they would be a step too late and miss out on the location of the blood bead.

After Mo Nanxuan, who was in the Imperial Palace, heard the news, he gave an order in an indifferent tone:

”After our birthday banquet, we will personally apologize to state advisor!”

Because of the abduction of the Western Kingdom's birthday present, the Western Kingdom's Prince had returned home and started a war between the two countries. In this precarious world, the calm on the surface was finally broken.

Hence, no matter if the state advisor was wrongly accused or not, they could only imprison him in prison for a few days. Only then would they be able to protect the honor of the imperial family, and only then would they be able to give an explanation to the people of the world.

In the Hundred Miles Palace, Jun Mohan only smiled faintly when he heard this news.

For the past few days, his body had been inexplicably uncomfortable and weak, constantly coughing a few times. Even the Divine Doctor Baili's medicine could not stop his cough.

The next month would be his 18 year old prophecy, and in these few days the atmosphere in the Hundred Miles Manor was tense.

Jun Mohan, on the other hand, did not go out for the entire day. He sat alone in the Lotus Blossom Pavilion, staring at the hairpin Bai Zhixi had given him, in a daze.

Qing Shu and the others saw this and felt pain in their hearts, but they didn't know how to comfort her.

The person that prince wanted to see the most was also currently stuck in four directions, stuck in the hands of the Prime Minister Qin with Southern Frontier who was eyeing him covetously, unable to breathe.

”Master, a letter from Su Xiang!”

Qing Feng's voice drifted over. Jun Mohan hurriedly put away the handkerchief in his hand that was covered in blood, and received the slip of paper as if nothing had happened.

”Beauty is as she was before, please do not worry!”

Jun Mohan looked at the few big words on the note, a warm smile appeared on his lips, and then dimmed down, as he looked at the Southern Frontier in the distance …

In his entire life, the only people he was most concerned about was Xi Er and the Fire and Water Concubine.

At the end of his life, he probably didn't have the strength to walk with his loved ones.

In another night where his five fingers had not even been seen, Jun Mohan snuck into the Imperial Palace dressed in black, and directly into Ye Shishuang's Imperial Palace.

Two hours later, at the southern gate of Phoenix City, several Ferghana Horses hurriedly galloped out of the city. Even the city guards didn't have the time to open the gate and directly passed through the defensive fence to leave the city.

After this event alerted the emperor who was playing chess, the two of them hurried over and saw a few large words written on a piece of paper that the soldier picked up from the ground.

”Esteemed Empress, it's been so many years since we last met. I really miss you.” ”Come back and visit me. The Empress is still as vicious as ever. As expected of you!”
