At that time, he was extremely nervous. Just as he was wondering how to reject Qiu Mei, Mo Yan arrived with The Emperor of Jin.
Fortunately, The Emperor of Jin arrived in time. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to deal with the situation.
With this scene, The Emperor of Jin's trust in Mo Yan was greatly reduced.
When the time came, The Emperor of Jin would definitely be extremely disappointed in Mo Yan and would definitely chase Mo Yan away.
This way, his plan to sow discord would succeed.

Three days later was the death anniversary of the previous Emperor.
Every time the previous Emperor died, the Hongyuan Emperor would lead the imperial relatives and civil and military officials to pay respects to the previous Emperor at the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
This was to tell the world that his throne was passed down to him by the previous Emperor. He was rightfully inheriting the throne and not trying to usurp the throne.
Therefore, he would make a lot of arrangements for this day. He wanted to maintain his image and stop the public from gossiping.
When paying respects to the previous Emperor, one of the previous Emperor's relatives had to be chosen to read the funeral oration. Logically speaking, the previous Emperor's eldest son should be the one to read it, which was Chu Xuanchen.
However, the Hongyuan Emperor was afraid that this would make people think that Chu Xuanchen was the legitimate heir. Therefore, he had never let Chu Xuanchen read it. These years, it was always the rector who read it.
However, this year, he was prepared to let his eldest son, The Emperor of Jin, read the funeral oration to show the prestige of his Chu family.
He wanted to tell the world that this world had long been his. He wanted to gradually erase all the people and things related to the previous Emperor. He wanted to pass the throne down to his descendants.
When Chu Xuanchen found out that The Emperor of Jin was going to read the funeral oration, he was extremely angry.
Letting The Emperor of Jin read it was simply an insult to his father. This also meant that the Hongyuan Emperor was beginning to think highly of The Emperor of Jin again.
The Hongyuan Emperor wanted The Emperor of Jin to show the glory of his Chu family. Then he would show them what he was capable of.
Thinking of this, he walked to the desk and wrote a letter.
After he finished writing, he walked out of the study and handed the letter to Mo Li, saying, "Mo Li, send someone to deliver this letter to Sir Yuan."
"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Li replied.

The Emperor of Jin's Mansion
In the middle of the night, a carrier pigeon flew to Yuan Zhen's window.
Seeing the pigeon flying over, he hurried over and took down the letter tied to the pigeon's leg.
He opened the letter, and when he saw the words on it, his lips curled. Then, he took the letter to the candlestick and burned it!
The next morning, when Yuan Zhen came to The Emperor of Jin's study, he heard the Emperor of Jin talking to Mo Yan.
The Emperor of Jin said, "Elder Mo, this time's offering of worship to the late emperor is very important. Not only did Imperial Father want Wang to read the eulogy, he also wanted Wang to personally write it. This Prince is too busy to pick up a brush. You are well-read and have outstanding literary talent, so Wang will give this important task to you. "
When Mo Yan heard this, he thought to himself, How is His Highness busy? He doesn't even know how to write the eulogy, that's why His Highness asked him to write it.
He hurriedly said, "His Highness is busy every day, so this subordinate will write the eulogy."
The Emperor of Jin nodded in satisfaction, "Good, this eulogy is very important. You must write it well and don't disappoint Wang."
Mo Yan cupped his hands, "Rest assured, Your Highness, this subordinate will write it immediately. This subordinate will definitely let Your Highness shine at the ceremony."
When Yuan Zhen heard this, he hurriedly walked in and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, Your Highness."
"Sir Yuan, why are you congratulating me?" The Emperor of Jin raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Zhen flattered, "Your Highness, His Majesty has always had the eulogy officer read the eulogy a few years ago. This time, His Majesty actually personally ordered you to read it. It can be seen that His Majesty values you very much. If this is the case, Your Highness' position as Crown Prince is just around the corner! "
