Chapter 158 Yun Mohan Hands Over the Military Token
Little Muhan would occasionally glance sideways at her younger sister, her eyes filled with doting. Little Kexin, on the other hand, was jumping around, humming a tuneless little song. She had completely forgotten about Yun Mohan's departure!
"Brother, I'm so happy today." Xiao Kexin said with her head raised.
Xiao Muhan smiled and nodded: "As long as you are happy, brother is happy."
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. Their laughter echoed far and wide in the warm sunshine.
The wildflowers by the roadside swayed gently in the breeze, as if intoxicated by this heartwarming scene. The brother and sister gradually walked away, leaving behind only their long shadows as a testament to their deep family affection.
Yun Mohan arrived at the palace not long after. When he was passing through the garden corridor on his way to the Nanyuan Emperor's study, he happened to run into Luo Lingshan who was walking across the corridor.
Luo Lingshan showed the shy look of a little girl, "Brother Nangong, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much. I've been going crazy thinking about you these days."
Yun Mohan arrived at the palace not long after. When he was on his way to Emperor Nanyuan's study, he happened to pass by the garden and ran into Rong Fei's Luo Lingshan. Luo Lingshan showed a rather sad expression, "Senior Brother Nangong, I haven't seen you for a few days. I missed you so much that I couldn't even eat or drink."
Yun Mohan frowned slightly, then he said in an extremely cold voice: "Luo Lingshan, this king has nothing to do with your Lingxiao Sect. And I have already warned you about the name "Senior Brother". Since you are going to be my concubine, you must be a good one and don't covet things that do not belong to you." His eyes revealed a hint of boredom and impatience, as if he was extremely disgusted with Luo Lingshan's entanglement.
When Luo Lingshan heard this, her face turned pale instantly, her eyes were full of grievance and unwillingness, her lips trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only watch Yun Mohan leave, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall.
Luo Lingshan clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh. She was completely unaware and gnashed her teeth, "Why, why, Xing Xuanli can do it, but I can't. How can I be inferior to Xing Xuanli?"
Her voice was hysterical, and her pretty face was distorted by anger and jealousy. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.
If it weren't for him, why would she choose to enter the palace as a concubine? If Xing Xuanli heard Luo Lingshan's words, she might just laugh. What does it mean to enter the palace as a concubine for him? Xing Xuanli didn't hear it, but Nalan Qin, who had entered the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, heard it.
Hearing this, Nalan Qin's face instantly darkened. "This shameless woman has entered the palace as a concubine, but she still covets the master's husband."
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth, and the anger in her heart burned fiercely.
"Hmph, do you really think this harem is a place where she can do whatever she wants?" Nalan Qin snorted coldly, her eyes full of disgust and anger.
The maid beside her said cautiously, "Princess, calm down. Don't let this ungrateful person's anger ruin your health."
Nalan Qin walked up and slapped Luo Lingshan in the face, angrily saying, "You were restless when you were waiting to be married. How come you are still restless now that you are a concubine in the palace? What's going on?"
Luo Lingshan stumbled a few steps after being hit by this sudden slap, covering her cheek with her hands, her eyes full of astonishment and anger: "How dare you hit me?"
Nalan Qin sneered: "What if I beat you? You are such a shameless person, you deserve to be taught a lesson!"
Luo Lingshan glared at him: "What did I do to deserve such an insult from you?"
Nalan Qin stepped forward and stared at her: "You know it in your heart! Entering the palace and still thinking about seducing someone else's husband, do you still have any shame?"
Luo Lingshan gritted her teeth and said, "Don't slander me!"
At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs around were so frightened that they dared not breathe, and the whole scene was extremely tense.
Nalan Qin sneered, "Luo Lingshan, don't covet things that don't belong to you, otherwise you will be retaliated against."
Luo Lingshan glared at Nalan Qin, her eyes filled with resentment: "What gives you the right to say that to me? You're just relying on your status!"
Nalan Qin stared at Luo Lingshan with a sharp gaze: "Just because I am the daughter of the great general who protects the country, and you are just a concubine with evil intentions!"
Luo Lingshan was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Don't be too proud too soon, one day..."
"What will happen one day?" Nalan Qin interrupted her, "What tricks do you think you can pull off? In this palace, you won't be allowed to act recklessly!"
Luo Lingshan bit her lips tightly and said nothing more, but her eyes still showed resentment.
Nalan Qin no longer cared about Luo Lingshan and turned to walk towards the Queen Mother's palace.
Her steps were steady, her posture graceful, yet she carried an air of untouchable majesty. The palace maids behind her followed cautiously, not daring to breathe.
Along the way, Nalan Qin's mind was still churning over Luo Lingshan's situation. "This woman must not be allowed to ruin things," she thought to herself, her brows slightly furrowed.
Finally arriving in front of the Empress Dowager's palace, Nalan Qin took a deep breath, put on a respectful and gentle smile on his face, and stepped into the palace.
In the Imperial Study, Emperor Nanyuan said, "Prince Regent, since you have no interest in attending court, how about..."
Yun Mohan raised his eyebrows slightly. Even though Emperor Nanyuan didn't say it, he knew that Emperor Nanyuan was asking him to hand over the military token. He handed the military token to Emperor Nanyuan.
A hint of surprise flashed in Emperor Nanyuan's eyes. He stretched out his hand to take it, but stopped when he was about to touch the military talisman.
"Is the Regent really willing to do this?" Emperor Nanyuan stared at Yun Mohan, as if trying to see through his thoughts.
Yun Mohan said calmly, "Now that I have made my decision, I will not regret it. I just hope that Your Majesty can make good use of this military token to ensure the eternal stability of our Nanyuan territory and the well-being of our people."
Emperor Nanyuan then took the military order with confidence, a satisfied smile on his face: "The Regent King is very understanding of justice. I will never let you down."
Yun Mohan bowed and said, "In that case, I will take my leave." After that, he turned and left, his back revealing a sense of loneliness and determination.
Yun Mohan sneered in his heart. These 100,000 elites would not obey a dead thing. Every one of them had fought on the battlefield with Yun Mohan. Some veterans even fought on the battlefield with Yun Mohan's father Nangong Yan. After Nangong Yan died for his country, they went directly to Yun Mohan.
He knew very well that the loyalty and friendship of these soldiers could not be influenced by a military order.
Emperor Nanyuan thought he could control everything just by getting the military token. He was simply naive. Yun Mohan thought, a mocking arc curling up at the corner of his mouth.
In his mind, this was just a farce played by Emperor Nanyuan. When the critical moment came, these soldiers would only obey his orders.
He strode out of the imperial study. The sunlight shone on him, but it could not dispel the haze in his eyes.
The gloom was like a thick, dark cloud, weighing heavily on his heart. His steps were firm and powerful, yet with a subtle heaviness.
The palace maids and eunuchs around him all lowered their heads to avoid him, fearing that he would bring bad luck to them. But he ignored them and just walked forward, his mind churning with thoughts.
He remembered the bloody battles he had fought with his soldiers on the battlefield, his father's last words before his death, and the various power struggles taking place in the court.
All of this made him feel extremely tired and helpless. The sunlight, in his eyes, became so dazzling and unreal.
