That bastard has always been a man of deep affection and loyalty. Naturally, he won't ignore Xue Zhan and the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
The Grand Marshal, Xue Changsheng, wields military power, and his son is on good terms with Mo Liandi. How can the emperor rest easy? It's better to keep power firmly in one's own hands.
As for Bai Hanfei in front of him, a traitor who has lost his trust, he can still be of some use. This may be his last bit of value.
"I hope so."
Then, the emperor curled his lips into a smile. "Since that's the case, you may go with Xue Changsheng. In this way, you can keep a good eye on him for me. If Xue Changsheng shows any signs of disloyalty, execute him on the spot!"
The coldness in his words sent a chill down one's spine. His eyes were full of malice, which made Bai Hanfei's heart sink suddenly, and a shiver ran down his back.
This move was to push him to a dead end! It completely cut off his retreat. Mo Liandi already had his doubts about him. After this, it would be hard for him to gain his trust again.
But seeing the coldness on Mo Yun's face, his heart sank again. Immediately, he bowed respectfully. "Your servant obeys the order."
Mo Yun curled his lips into another smile. He stepped forward and patted Bai Hanfei on the shoulder. "Hanfei, you should know that I'm your cousin. I won't harm you."
Bai Hanfei was filled with anger, but he didn't dare to show it at all. He said respectfully, "Your servant knows."
Seeing this, Mo Yun nodded in satisfaction and strode away.
Behind him, Eunuch Xu curled his lips into a sneering smile. How dare he even think about betraying the emperor? He was really stupid!
After they left, Bai Hanfei's face was full of bitterness. He couldn't help clenching his fists. It was really true that serving the king was like sleeping with a tiger.
What goes around comes around. Back then, the Bai family helped Mo Yun, which brought glory to the Bai family. But now...
It was time for the Bai family to pay back.
...
Quanzhou.
Mo Liandi was delayed on the road for several days before he finally reached Quanzhou.
Although a lot of time was wasted, Liu Rumei had recovered well. Her face was much rosier.
Sixi stood quietly beside them. Her face, which had become thinner because of Liu Rumei, had recovered a bit.
Her black and bright eyes were fixed on the beautiful couple in front of her, with a big smile on her face.
She always felt that Miss Liu had changed a lot since she woke up.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Why is God so unfair? I've been so worried and used so much effort, but I still have to watch them being lovey - dovey all day long! Why is that?"
"By the way, how are you and Ye Zhe?"
"Let me tell you, Ye Zhe is such a taciturn person! He just likes to keep things to himself..."
"But it's really puzzling that Ye Zhe likes you. What's so good about you?"
"You're just of average looks and a bit chubby... Damn it, Ye Zhe, do you want to kill me?"
Before Ye Lin could finish his words, a cold light suddenly shot towards him, interrupting his speech. His eyes were full of anger. "Do you know how precious my life is? Can you afford to compensate if something happens to me?"
Ye Zhe said coldly, "You're so noisy!"
Sixi beside them puffed out her cheeks, her eyes full of anger. "You're so talkative! How can a big man be so talkative? No wonder you can't get married!"
Hearing this, Ye Lin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Before he could think it through, Ye Zhe's sharp sword moves came towards him.
Ye Lin was filled with grief and indignation. "If you attack me again, don't blame me for not caring about our friendship!"
"Hey, do you really want to kill me?"
"You're such a person who values your lover more than your friends!"
"Can't I apologize to you?"
"Your Highness, Princess, save me..."
At this moment, Mo Liandi's face was extremely gloomy. It was a sunny day, and he had finally found some time to be with his lover. If it was interrupted, anyone would be unhappy!
"Your martial arts need to be improved! Ye Zhe, take care of this matter!"
Then, as soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Liu Rumei's hand and turned away without any hesitation.
Ye Lin opened his eyes wide. "Your Highness, you can't just watch me die!"
Seeing that Mo Liandi remained unmoved, Ye Lin had no choice but to turn his attention to Liu Rumei beside him. While dodging Ye Zhe's sharp sword moves, he said pitifully, "Princess..."
Liu Rumei saw his pitiful look, and a smile flashed in her eyes. "I think what His Highness said is reasonable."
Ye Lin was instantly desperate. If Ye Zhe really taught him, he would really feel worse than dead!
A smile also flashed in Sixi's eyes. She didn't care about the people behind her anymore and just followed Mo Liandi and Liu Rumei away.
Looking at Sixi behind them, Liu Rumei suddenly remembered something. She grabbed Mo Liandi's arm and said softly, "May I ask you for someone?"
Mo Liandi's eyes were full of tenderness. He reached out and held her delicate hand. "It's up to you."
Liu Rumei curled her lips into a smile and looked at Sixi behind them thoughtfully.
It would be great if these two could really get together.
Mo Liandi sensed her gaze and almost instantly understood what was on Liu Rumei's mind. He curled his lips into a smile and said softly, "Liu Liu, our wedding hasn't been held yet."
But he wanted to give her the best. Quanzhou was still a bit shabby.
A rare blush crossed Liu Rumei's face. She gritted her teeth and changed the topic. "Mo Yun probably won't let you go easily. What are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Mo Liandi's expression paused for a moment. A complex look flashed in his eyes. "It'll be okay."
Liu Rumei frowned but didn't ask any more questions. She just said softly, "Although Mo Yun is fatuous, he's not an easy opponent. You must be careful."
Mo Liandi felt a warm feeling in his heart. A gentle look also flashed in his eyes. "I know. I won't leave you a widow."
Hearing this, Liu Rumei couldn't help glaring at him. He was so unreliable! "How is Mo Litian?"
Although Mo Liandi didn't like to hear the name of another man from her mouth, Mo Litian had indeed been kind to her. So he didn't hide anything and told her Mo Litian's choice in detail. "He should have left the capital by now."
Liu Rumei frowned slightly. She always felt that Mo Yun wouldn't let Mo Litian go easily.
Mo Liandi then said, "I've made preparations in advance. I'll ensure his safety."
...
At this moment, Mo Litian was holding the woman in his arms. His eyes were full of gloom, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
"Son, I'm not willing... not willing..."
She was a well - deserved daughter of heaven. How could she end up like this?
Why did all her years of planning end in failure?
