Mo Xiuyao did not object. He casually sat down on a chair by the window and placed his wrist on the table. Shen Yang stepped forward to check his pulse. He looked at Mo Xiuyao with some confusion and frowned. "Prince's body … is fine for now. However, I ask that Prince not be too tired. Take care. "
"Thank you for your trouble, Mister Shen." Mo Xiuyao nodded.
This time, Shen Yang also noticed that something was wrong with Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao was not a patient that was hard to take care of, but he was definitely not a patient that would listen to a doctor's advice. Seeing how seriously Mo Xiuyao was listening to his advice, for some reason, made him feel uneasy.
"These days, Prince … I'm afraid his mental state has been hurt. This one will prescribe some medicine. Prince, take it as a hint. "
"I understand." Mo Xiuyao nodded. He thought for a moment and lifted the white hair on his shoulder to take a look. "I ask Mister Shen to help me prepare some medicine to cover up my white hair."
Shen Yang paused and nodded. "This subordinate obeys."
"Reporting to Prince, an envoy from the capital." The guard outside the door reported.
Mo Xiuyao lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his lips. "Let him in."
"This one, Assistant Minister Liu Congyun, greets Your Highness Prince Ding."
This time, the envoy who came to deliver the decree was clearly different from the previous unlucky official. At least, just from the extravagance, it was clear that the two were completely different. An Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Appointments from the Liu Clan was accompanied by several generals. Not to mention the three thousand elite soldiers and a few hundred guards who were blocked outside the city. Feng Zhiyao, who was standing to the side, tugged at the corners of his lips. A mocking smile flashed in his eyes. What did Mo Jingqi mean by this? On the seat, Mo Xiuyao's face was still somewhat pale. However, it was impossible to tell that he was still lying unconscious on the bed. His white hair also returned to its original black color with the potion provided by Shenyang. Coupled with the faint smile on his handsome face, Mo Xiuyao really didn't look like a man whose beloved wife had just fallen off a cliff and disappeared. Liu Congyun looked at Prince Ding who was seated and frowned slightly. She felt a little uneasy because of Prince Ding's unexpected behavior. Therefore, even though he came with the order to reprimand Mo Xiuyao, he still respectfully went up to greet him.
"Lord Liu, please don't stand on ceremony," Mo Xiuyao smiled calmly and pointed to the seat beside him, "Lord Liu, please sit."
Liu Congyun looked somewhat cautiously at Mo Xiuyao. She couldn't see any emotion in his calm and deep eyes. She could only stand and thank him. She sat down beside Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao glanced at Feng Zhiyao. Feng Zhiyao smiled and sat down opposite Liu Congyun. Not long after, the generals stationed in Hongzhou City also arrived and sat down. Liu Congyun looked at the situation in front of her and her smile stiffened. Mo Xiuyao leisurely put down his teacup and smiled at Liu Congyun, "Lord Liu, I haven't been feeling well recently and couldn't personally welcome the Saint at the city gates. Please forgive me." Seeing Mo Xiuyao smile so amiably, Liu Congyun felt her hair stand on end. She hurriedly smiled and said, "Prince is joking. The Princess Consort's matter … The Princess Consort is a unique woman. Heaven helps the worthy. Prince, please do not worry. "
Mo Xiuyao stilled slightly and then quickly smiled. He nodded and said, "Lord Liu is right. I's Princess Li is truly a unique woman." Feng Zhiyao also had a relaxed smile as he praised Princess Consort for her virtue, talent and beauty, and how she had led the Mohist army to defeat the Xiling Army. Liu Congyun could only smile and praise Ye Li's merits. For a moment, she didn't know how to speak. Fortunately, Mo Xiuyao did not sit here to have people praise his Princess Consort. Before Liu Congyun could continue, he calmly changed the topic. "I remember that Lord Liu is the grandson of Prime Minister Liu? Will Prime Minister Liu come in? "
Liu Congyun replied cautiously, "Grandfather is healthy and often misses Prince's hard work on the campaign."
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "I also learned much from Prime Minister Liu when I was young. I is also very gratified that the old Prime Minister is healthy. Right, for the Emperor to send Lord Liu, the future patriarch of the Liu Family, there must be an important matter. I hope that I do not have a personal matter with Lord Liu? "
Liu Congyun didn't dare to say it. He felt a slight bitterness in his mouth. At this moment, the atmosphere was so good that he didn't know how to take out the Emperor's decree. If Mo Xiuyao hadn't taken the initiative to ask, he might not have found a chance to announce it until the end. Of course, he could have just announced the decree as soon as he arrived, but Liu Congyun was the eldest grandson of the Liu family. He had been raised as the future head of the family since he was young. He was not someone ordinary people could compare to. Liu Congyun didn't believe that there was nothing fishy about Wang Jingchuan's death. He also understood Wang Jingchuan's personality and conduct. Thus, he was even more careful about this task that he didn't want to do. He didn't dare to show any arrogance in front of Prince Ding.
Standing up, Liu Congyun raised his hands in salute to Mo Xiuyao and said, "This official has indeed brought the Emperor's decree. Would Your Highness Prince Ding please accept the decree?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled in response, but he didn't show any intention of moving from his chair. Not to mention getting up to greet him, he didn't even have the intention to sit up straight to show his respect. It wasn't just Mo Xiuyao. Even the generals sitting below didn't show any intention of moving. Liu Congyun's lips twitched. He pretended not to see anything. He had come to announce the decree, not to protect the Emperor's dignity. As long as he could return to the capital alive, he could complain to the Emperor however he wanted. However, the prerequisite was that he could return alive after reading the decree. Liu Congyun turned his head and took the bright yellow cloth from the box from the attendant beside him. He unfolded it and read in a clear voice, "By the will of the heavens, the Emperor decrees: Prince Ding, Mo Xiuyao, has willfully murdered the innocent. He has deceived the Emperor. Zhen remembers the merits of our ancestors and pardons his death sentence. Prince Ding will be conferred the title of Junwang, and his salary will be forfeited for three years! "
The hall was completely silent. Liu Congyun could clearly feel the unfriendly gazes of the people around him. He also felt the faint traces of sweat in his hands as he held the decree. Doing his best to appear calm and composed, Liu Congyun closed the bright yellow cloth and walked forward, "Prince Ding, please accept the decree." Mo Xiuyao gently waved his sleeve and the bright yellow decree landed in his hand. Mo Xiuyao opened it and looked at the familiar handwriting on it. His handsome eyes narrowed slightly. He seemed to be deep in thought for a long time. The smile on his lips became more obvious and made people feel even colder. Feng Zhiyao, who was sitting closest to him, squeezed himself deeper into his chair. The other generals all looked down and pretended not to see anything.
"Demoted … … to Junwang, forfeited for three years?" Mo Xiuyao's voice quietly sounded in the hall. There seemed to be a strange smile in his voice, "Is this what the Emperor wants to say? Hm? "
Liu Congyun's heart broke out in cold sweat. He respectfully said, "Reporting to Prince Ding, the Emperor doesn't have any other intentions. It's just that … … the Emperor has to give the people of the world an explanation for this matter. "
