After Han Mo shouted those words, he saw the boy's amused expression.
The current Prime Minister froze, and even his expression paused for a moment.
The person who had come to lodge a complaint was standing right in front of him. What a coincidence.
Before coming here, he had naturally worked himself up emotionally.
But after pushing open the door and entering, he realized that something was not quite right.
How should he put it?
The Emperor, who should have been displeased, wore a benevolent smile.
The boy did not seem to feel the slightest pressure. Instead, he was looking at him curiously.
The scene here could easily have been mistaken for an intimate meeting between an uncle and his nephew.
Why was this happening? How had the relationship between the two of them become so harmonious?
He had shouted like that in front of them. Wasn't this a little awkward?
"Esteemed Subject, why have you suddenly barged in?"
The Yan Emperor slightly restrained his smile and asked.
"Your Majesty, my son paid a visit not long ago, yet he was beaten for no reason and locked up."
Han Mo spoke through gritted teeth.
He had already shouted out loud just now, so he could not pretend that nothing had happened.
"Esteemed Subject, what are you talking about? Why would Young Master Su beat your son instead of anyone else?"
"Or do you have some issue with him and deliberately came here to cause trouble?"
The Yan Emperor's expression sank at once as he asked.
Han Mo was dumbfounded.
Good heavens, what exactly had happened here while I was away?
"I also heard about yesterday's incident. Was that person really your son?"
"They surrounded the Realm Protectorate and tried to use the opportunity to assassinate someone. Those people were nothing but traitorous rebels."
"The Prime Minister is connected with them. You are making Me suspicious of your motives."
The Yan Emperor frowned, and his voice suddenly became stern.
On one side was the Prime Minister, and on the other was the Realm Protectorate.
Could the two even be compared?
If he had to choose, he would definitely choose the latter!
As long as the pills continued to arrive, there was hope that the problem troubling his Lifespan could be delayed for a while.
Anyone who wanted to deal with the Realm Protectorate was standing in the way of his immortality!
A trace of cold sweat appeared on Han Mo's forehead.
He had come to plead his case, but his grievance had been judged in the blink of an eye.
It was obvious that the Emperor was no longer angry with the Realm Protectorate!
This was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill, but it also represented the Emperor's attitude.
He was standing on the side of the Realm Protectorate!
"Your Majesty, this was merely a misunderstanding. There were many people causing trouble yesterday."
"Young Master Prime Minister's Son was probably only led astray, which was why he followed them there."
Su Qing looked at the Prime Minister, who was sweating profusely, and spoke.
The Yan Emperor had already given him an opening. Why would he refuse such an easy favor?
"Yes, yes, yes. Young Master Su is right. My son must have been deceived!"
Han Mo hurriedly put on a fawning smile, as though he had grabbed hold of a lifeline.
"Esteemed Subject, you should discipline your son properly. Don't let him spend all day doing nothing of value."
Only then did the Yan Emperor withdraw his oppressive gaze and speak.
Han Mo hurriedly nodded, indicating that he had taken it to heart.
The Prime Minister had gained a profound understanding of the saying that accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger.
Deep within the Imperial Palace.
A tall figure sat beside a table, gazing out the window.
Her long golden hair shimmered with dazzling brilliance beneath the sunlight.
Her beautiful, majestic face revealed no emotion, as though she were waiting for something.
She leaned back in her chair, her long, straight legs crossed.
Even though they were hidden beneath her skirt, their perfect proportions were still apparent.
The Golden-Haired Princess showed no emotion, but her fingers tapped lightly against the table.
This unconscious action clearly showed one thing... she was somewhat agitated.
When he had entered the palace that morning, she had already received the news.
His decisive, thunderous manner left her with indescribable feelings.
If it had been before, how could he have been so decisive?
Had he gone straight to the Father Emperor because he was confident, or because he was making one last desperate gamble?
Time passed second by second.
A trusted palace maid hurried in and brought her the news.
After Jun Huang heard what her subordinate had said, unconcealable astonishment appeared in her eyes.
According to the palace maid who had served the tea, the two of them had sat at the table, chatting happily.
Not only that, someone had heard the Yan Emperor reprimanding the Prime Minister for his sake outside the door.
What did this mean? Had the matter really been resolved so easily?
The Golden-Haired Princess remained silent, gazing out the window.
Only after a long while did she finally come back to herself and recall what had happened not long before.
Especially that... the bet she had agreed to.
Only yesterday, she had expressed her contempt and disdain for him.
Yet after just one night, reality had slapped her hard across the face.
By now, she could already imagine that little brat's smug, self-satisfied expression.
This is bad... Will he come to show off to me?
Showing off would be one thing, but the important matter was that bet!
Because she had not believed he could do anything, she had not added any restrictions.
If he came to demand that she fulfill her promise, what should she do? Should she break the agreement?
If possible, she was naturally willing to keep her word.
But what if he made some excessively outrageous demand?
The mature beauty unconsciously clenched her fists, her face filled with anxiety and hesitation.
While she was tormented by her thoughts, Jun Huang received another piece of news.
After leaving the Imperial Study, Su Qing had departed without hesitation.
When she realized that she seemed to have been ignored, the proud Princess froze.
Her heart filled with complicated and unbearable emotions.
Su Qing had already boarded the carriage home.
He naturally knew that he could go ask for his reward now, but he did not set out.
He would first arrange a Neglect Play session to wear down her mental resolve.
He needed to give her some time to adjust. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to make an excessive request.
After returning home, the first person he saw was Qin Lan Shan peeking around at the entrance.
When the Shopkeeper saw him approaching, she hurried over to greet him.
Her gaze was cautious, as if she were observing his mood.
"The matter has temporarily come to an end. They are safe for now."
"All we need to do next is find the accomplices, and then we can clear your Foster Father's name."
Su Qing briefly explained the situation.
He actually had no particular thoughts about this matter.
He was not pretending to be calm. It was simply because he had known the outcome from the beginning.
After receiving the Returning Spring Pill, it would have been strange if the Yan Emperor had not acted this way.
"Mm..."
Qin Lan Shan looked at the boy's composed expression, her heart shaken to the core.
Why did it feel as though this result was nothing special to him?
It was as if he had merely done something insignificant and did not need to say much about it.
Although the problem had not been resolved, at least their lives had been saved.
I... should be grateful for his kindness and properly repay the favor!
