Chapter 240: Cutting the Weeds and Eliminating the Roots

"I won't let anything happen to her," Mo Liandi said coldly. "Send Ning Yan'er to him."

With someone from the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion for him to experiment on, it was bound to succeed. "Find a reliable person to go and help as well."

Ye Zhe immediately understood what Mo Liandi meant. After all, that imperial physician was still on Mo Yun's side. If something went wrong midway... the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Ye Lin will return tomorrow. I'll send him," Ye Zhe said.

"Okay."

Ye Lin was a master of using medicine under Mo Liandi. Although his talent was not as good as Song Chang'an's, it was not far behind.

If Ye Lin could really learn this method from the imperial physician, Miss Liu would be saved.

There was an undisguised weariness in Mo Liandi's eyes. He took a step and headed towards the West Garden.

As soon as he stepped into the West Garden, a soft laugh came from the attic.

A gentle light flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes. He stepped forward and familiarly pulled the person into his arms. Only then did his heart feel a bit more at ease.

Seeing this, Si Xi and the others quickly and sensibly excused themselves.

This made Mo Liandi even more satisfied with Si Xi's good sense.

Liu Rumei's eyes were full of helplessness, but she still obediently nestled in his arms, her eyes full of confusion.

She knew that her days were numbered. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she suddenly found that she didn't want to leave at all.

It was a pity that things didn't go as she wished.

Noticing that Liu Rumei's expression was strange, Mo Liandi frowned slightly and gently rubbed her head. "What's wrong?"

Liu Rumei smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. Now that you almost have all the evidence in hand, when do you plan to take action?"

Mo Liandi paused for a moment and pursed his lips. "After you get better."

"Liu Liu, don't worry. I will cure you."

"After you get better, we'll get married. I've already made all the preparations and will surely give you a surprise."

"..."

The affectionate words kept coming out, but for some reason, they made Si Xi, who was under the attic, feel a pang of sourness in her heart.

Both Miss Liu and the prince were such good people. Why did fate have to torture them like this?

Ye Zhe's eyes were also full of confusion. Looking at the secretly sad Si Xi, he felt a bit relieved.

He was relieved that she had left and hadn't been caught by Ning Yan'er. Otherwise, she might have been lying on the bed as well...

Thinking of this, Ye Zhe felt a splitting headache. He hoped that Ye Lin could learn the method soon.

Not getting a reply from Liu Rumei for a long time, Mo Liandi frowned slightly. He looked down and saw that the woman in his arms had fallen asleep again.

He tightened his arms around her, his eyes full of sourness. There must be a way.

In the imperial palace.

Mo Yun's face was cold, which made Bai Hanfei, who was standing beside him, feel extremely nervous. He didn't dare to say a word and stood there respectfully.

Looking at Mo Litian, who was kneeling in the middle, there was an unfathomable look in his eyes.

"Have you turned a deaf ear to my words?" Mo Yun said. He had told Mo Litian to kill Mo Liandi or bring that woman back. But so many days had passed, and there was no sign of progress. Did he really think Mo Yun was stupid?

Mo Litian looked indifferent. "Miss Liu has been poisoned by the corpse poison and is on the verge of death. Even if we bring her back, if she dies in our hands, we may face even more brutal revenge from Mo Liandi. Moreover, the Guo'an Prince Mansion is now on high alert, and I can't get close at all. Father, you overestimate me too much."

Mo Litian had investigated these things, and there was no falsehood in them. He also wanted to enter the Guo'an Prince Mansion to know if she was safe, but he had no way to do so.

Mo Yun's expression became even colder, with a hint of gritted teeth. "You bastard!"

Thinking of how Mo Liandi had swaggered into the imperial palace yesterday and taken away the imperial physician he trusted most, not putting him in his eyes at all, he felt extremely resentful.

What a Mo Liandi!

"I don't care what method you use, you must take Mo Liandi's life. Otherwise, you can go and accompany your mother."

He didn't believe that Mo Litian really couldn't enter the Guo'an Prince Mansion! He really thought Mo Yun didn't know that Mo Litian was behind half of the things in the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion. Defying him for a woman was really good.

Mo Litian still looked calm, as if he didn't take these words to heart. But then he suddenly said, "I want to see my mother. Please, Father, grant my request!"

Mo Yun's expression paused. After hesitating for a moment, he said indifferently, "Go."

Mo Litian nodded respectfully, bowed, and then turned to leave.

Seeing this, Bai Hanfei sighed in his heart. Mo Yun didn't only have Mo Litian as a son, but among all his sons, only Mo Litian was outstanding.

But now, because of Liu Rumei...

"Hanfei..."

The sudden call made Bai Hanfei snap back to reality. He quickly bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty."

Mo Yun's eyes were full of decadence. "Hanfei, am I old?"

Everyone was defying him!

Bai Hanfei said respectfully, "Your Majesty, why would you say such a thing?"

Mo Yun sighed sorrowfully, his eyes full of weariness. "Now that the bastard is getting more and more powerful, he probably has the intention of rebelling for a long time. Hanfei, you're the only one I can trust now."

Bai Hanfei smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face at all. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do my best and die only after I've fulfilled my duty!"

His Bai family had no choice. If Mo Yun fell from power, it would be a devastating blow to the Bai family.

However...

Bai Hanfei knew very well about Mo Liandi's power. Could his cousin really compete with him?

The previous army was still missing...

Bai Hanfei's mind was in a whirl, but he still couldn't find any solution. The Bai family was probably really going to...

Hearing this, Mo Yun's face finally looked a bit better. His eyes were full of malice. "This bastard can't be kept any longer."

"Go and do something for me. This time, I will surely cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!"

Bai Hanfei nodded respectfully. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will surely not disappoint you."

Back at the Bai family mansion.

Bai Hanfei's face was full of worry. "Go and call the eldest young master."

"Yes!"

After a while, Bai Haoyu appeared in Bai Hanfei's sight. His complexion had improved a lot, but the previous things still seemed vivid in his mind, which was why he hadn't gone out to have a good time like before.

Having walked through the gates of hell, Bai Haoyu had also matured a lot. "Father, is something wrong?"

He had also vaguely sensed the intrigues in the capital.

Bai Hanfei sighed deeply. "The Bai family may not be able to be saved. You take your mother and leave the Bai family tonight. I will escort you all the way. Go as far as you can!"
