Just as he was lost in thought, Mo Yuanlin's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Eunuch Feng quickly came back to his senses and saw that he dropped the memorial in his hand, got up and strode outside with rapid strides.
Eunuch Feng: "..."
What?
Want to pick it up in person again?
Your Majesty, can we pay more attention to our image?
Then Miss Yun has entered the palace. If someone brings her here, can she still get lost?
What’s the matter with a majestic king of a country who always condescends to pick up a woman in person? How much influence will it have on the emperor's dignity after word spreads?
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
Although he disagreed in his heart, he did not dare to say it with his mouth. Eunuch Feng shook his head, responded quickly, bent down and followed.
As soon as they left the palace gate, they saw a group of people walking slowly towards this side on the clean and flat bluestone ground.
The young eunuch led the way, followed by Yun Wanyao, and after that, the Iron Eagle Guard headed by Situ Yin.
Mo Yuanlin stopped and stood on the steps looking at them from a distance. To be precise, he only looked at her.
His eyes were focused and intense, as if they were real, and it was difficult for Yun Wanyao not to notice them even if he wanted to.
She paused in her steps, turned around subconsciously, and saw a tall, straight, majestic figure on the bluestone steps.
In the backlight, his expression could not be seen clearly, and he could only see the noble, mysterious, gorgeous and domineering dragon patterns on the black dragon robe. Yun Wanyao's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't control her frenzy.
"Miss Yun?"
Seeing her suddenly stop, Situ Yin frowned and stepped forward, reminding her in a low voice. Yun Wanyao quickly came to her senses and apologized hurriedly.
"I'm sorry, I was distracted. Let's go there quickly and don't keep the emperor waiting."
"Well, okay."
Hearing this, Situ Yin's frown relaxed and he nodded in response.
The group of people walked over quickly and saluted Mo Yuanlin.
After the ceremony, Mo Yuanlin walked down the steps. In front of everyone, he naturally took Yun Wanyao's hand and turned towards the steps.
Boom! ! !
Something seemed to explode in Yun Wanyao's mind. The explosion made her brain a mess and her whole body felt dizzy. After she realized what she was doing, her face suddenly turned red and she hurriedly shook it off. his hands.
However, people who practice martial arts are very good at using skillful strength. Although he didn't grab it hard, it seemed like it was stuck to her hand and she couldn't shake it off at all.
She was about to continue shaking her hands when a man's deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"I missed my appointment yesterday and I am late today, Yun Wanyao, how should I punish you, huh???"
Yun Wanyao: "..."
As if someone had cast a restraining spell, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.
He looked straight ahead without squinting. His profile was extremely beautiful, as if he had been carefully carved. Apart from his extreme beauty, there was no emotion at all.
The door of the royal study room was closed, and all other people were completely isolated.
Yun Wanyao came back to her senses and explained eagerly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. There is one thing that must be made clear. Yesterday's failure to make an appointment was indeed my fault, but being late today was an accident and was definitely not what I wanted..."
"Close After receiving the letter from the emperor, the minister immediately set out to enter the palace, but was stopped by King Qi on the way, which delayed her a little. Therefore, the emperor cannot blame the minister for being late. "
It's not Yun Wan. Yao Cheng wanted to sue Mo Yuanhao.
Rather, the Iron Eagle Guards were the emperor's men. Although they did not come out to rescue her early in what happened today, they showed up when Mo Yuanhao tried to forcefully send her back to the Yun family. The timing was definitely very clever.
It can be seen that they have been following her secretly for a long time as Mo Yuanhao said. So, whether Mo Yuanhao intercepted her halfway or he entered the carriage to pester her, nothing could be hidden. Live with the emperor. Rather than keeping silent and arousing suspicion, it's better to speak out proactively, and maybe it can help her avoid some sins.
“Really?”
He looked down at her and smiled inexplicably. Yun Wanyao didn’t know what he meant and was too lazy to To think deeply and just nod in response.
"Yes, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can call Commander Situ for questioning."
His eyes moved, and he reached out to touch her face, his rough thumb gently sliding on the delicate skin.
"Why did King Qi stop you?"
Yun Wanyao was about to answer her questions when she suddenly thought of something and raised her neck to look at him as dark as ink with a chuckle. eyes.
“I have something unclear and I want to ask the emperor.”
Oh, instead of answering his question, she came to ask him a question. In the whole world, she was the only one who dared to do this, but he was right.
Mo Yuanlin raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, tell me."
"Did the emperor send someone to follow the minister secretly?"
Didn't mention it. Iron Eagle Guard or Situ Yin, because once a clear name is given, the target will be narrowed within this range.
The forces available to the emperor are by no means limited to the Iron Eagle Guard.
"That's right!"
He admitted without hesitation and had no intention of covering up, but soon he continued to justify his behavior.
“But I don’t want to monitor you, but you had an accident on your last trip and you were injured and fell into a coma. Do you remember this? I also went to Yun’s house to see you, but in the way, I haven’t seen you since I was a man and a woman.”
“I was very scared when I heard that you were injured. For the first time, I clearly realized that the security in Beijing is far from good, and the defense forces around you are too poor. It’s easy for others to take advantage of you, so I sent someone to protect you.”
As expected, Yun Wanyao felt a little unhappy, not because of the things he did secretly, but...
"Since they are protecting me and still following me, why didn't they show up when King Qi entered my carriage?"
She was so angry that she even forgot to bring her 'Court Girl' and just used I.
Thinking of her trembling and fearful appearance when she was threatened by Mo Yuanhao, Yun Wanyao felt very unhappy.
Seeing her angry look, Mo Yuanlin felt very funny and couldn't help but pinch her cheek gently.
"You and King Qi have not seen each other alone since the engagement was broken off. King Qi must be unwilling to accept the unilateral termination of the engagement for no reason and wants to find out more about it from you."
"The engagement is done. I think it's best for you to explain it clearly to him, so that he won't worry about it, make random guesses, and become resentful over time..."
It is with this idea in mind, so , Mo Yuanlin had told Situ Yin a long time ago that if Mo Yuanhao goes to see Yun Wanyao for the first time after breaking off the engagement, he should not stop him.
Unless Mo Yuanhao wants to be disadvantageous to Yun Wanyao.
Even the secret decree was prepared by him earlier. As long as Mo Yuanhao is not too outrageous, then the secret decree will not be used.
But unfortunately, he went out of his way!
Thinking of this, a coldness flashed across Mo Yuanlin's eyes quickly.
Situ Yin had already sent someone to deliver the news about Yun Wanyao being stopped by Mo Yuanhao today. Therefore, he already knew the ins and outs of the matter. (End of this chapter)
