C45 (1/2)

A flash of shock passed through the crown prince's eyes. He never thought that royal father would actually have the intention to kill Mo Feiye so quickly.

”Why? Can't you do it?” The crown prince's silence caused the emperor to narrow his eyes slightly.

”Royal father, the border plague is spreading, the Huns are invading us, wouldn't Mo Feiye be the first to end his own limbs?” The Crown Prince restrained the deep meaning in his eyes and pretended to persuade her.

Since royal father had already decided to kill Mo Feiye, then it was only natural that he had thought it through. He wouldn't change his mind just because of a few words.

”You don't have to worry about that. Just tell me, can you kill him?” The Emperor looked at the crown prince and slowly spoke. The Mo family had been supporting the crown prince for generations, and all the men were generals. They had already threatened the imperial family, and they might not have any thoughts of rebelling now.

Without Mo Feiye, he could send other generals to guard the border. If the Mo family rebelled, then this country would no longer have the Mu family name. For the Royal Family's safety, he had to eliminate the Mo family.

”This son is willing to share my worries for royal father.” The crown prince respectfully bowed, a trace of determination in his voice.

”I will call out half of the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital for you, and at the same time issue the imperial list to invite some doctors with better medical skills to accompany you to the border. The time for your departure is set to be three days from now, and you can leave after the marriage ceremony.” The plague was approaching in full force this time, but he could not leave without making preparations. He needed to recruit doctors, and he needed to prepare all sorts of medicinal ingredients.

”Then this official will go back and prepare.” The Crown Prince slowly spoke out. In order to deal with Mo Feiye, he naturally had to make some preparations.

The emperor waved his hand, indicating for the crown prince to leave. ”You may leave.”

The Emperor walked to the window and looked at the crown prince who was slowly leaving, and slowly said, ”This time's plague, follow me, and help the crown prince take care of himself, and kill Mo Feiye.”

”Yes.” A voice sounded from the Imperial Study.

After the crown prince left, the emperor made a public announcement. The borders of the kingdom were plagued with plague, and the news that the crown prince and Mo Feiye were going to the border to cure the plague spread to the Mo Mansion very quickly.

Mo Ranran wanted to find Mo Feiye, but he discovered that was not in the Palace at all.

”Long Sha, where is your master?” Mo Ranran, who had searched through the entire Mo Mansion but couldn't find Mo Feiye, slowly looked towards the hidden Long Sha.

”I don't know where Master is.” Long Sha walked out from the shadows and said slowly.

”You are his subordinate, it's impossible that you don't know where he is. Tell me.” Mo Ranran didn't believe what Long Sha said at all. Long Sha was Mo Feiye's trusted aide, how could he not know where he was.

”First Miss, don't ask anymore.” Long Sha's gaze drifted erratically, but she did not dare to look at Mo Ranran.

Mo Ranran's eyes flashed. It seemed that she wouldn't be able to ask that question today.

”I know.”

Seeing that Mo Ranran did not continue pursuing the matter, Long Sha slowly let out a breath of relief before disappearing into the darkness once again.

Inside the Imperial Study, the emperor was busy with official business when the voice of the Chief Eunuch came in from outside. ”Your majesty, Miss Mo requests an audience.”

The emperor closed the imperial report and put it aside. His voice carried a trace of dignity as he said, ”Let her in.”

”This subject's daughter greets the Emperor.” After Mo Ranran entered the Imperial Study, he bowed to the Emperor.

The emperor opened a imperial report and spoke slowly, ”Get up. Why have you come to me?”

”Your servant's daughter requests permission to go to the border to treat the plague.” Mo Ranran looked up, her clear voice carrying a tinge of determination.

The Emperor stopped in his tracks as he rewrote the imperial report, and looked at Mo Ranran with an even darker gaze than before. A woman was actually even more courageous than the civil and military officials of the imperial court.

The Emperor closed the imperial report and said faintly, ”The borders are in chaos. It's not a place a woman like you should go to.” He really liked this junior, the border was such a chaotic place and there was also the plague, he did not wish for Mo Ranran to pass by.

”This subject's daughter can protect herself.” She was only there to save him, so there wasn't much danger.

”You really want to go?” He was aware of Mo Ranran's medical skills. He should have been happy to have such a highly skilled doctor voluntarily request for orders, but when he saw that Mo Ranran's face looked somewhat similar to the Consort Ye's, he felt a little reluctant to let her go to that quiet and dangerous place.

Mo Ranran respectfully kowtowed, he raised his eyes and looked at the Emperor.

”Yes, I plead for the Emperor's consent.”

”What if I don't agree?” The emperor's eyes flashed slightly. He decided to not change his temper and became extremely Consort Ye.

”This subject's daughter will secretly follow you.” On the way here, she had already made up her mind. If the emperor didn't agree, she would secretly follow.

The emperor was silent for a moment, but he still agreed.

”Three days later, you can leave together with the crown prince and Mo Feiye.”

If Mo Ranran really followed her alone, it would be even more dangerous on the road. If she followed the group, the crown prince and Mo Feiye would be able to protect her a little.

”Thank you, your majesty.” The corner of Mo Ranran's mouth slowly rose as a glint flashed past his eyes.

Mo Feiye, let's see if you can still avoid me now.

Mo Ranran stayed at the Imperial Study for a while, then left. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, she walked to the entrance, and just as she lifted the carriage's curtain, she saw Mo Feiye seated in the carriage.

Under Mo Feiye's gaze, inexplicably, Mo Ranran felt a little guilty.

After hesitating for a moment, seeing that Mo Feiye did not have any intentions to speak, she carefully went up the carriage.
