I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

"It is detected that the current time is the best point. Start issuing random task 2. Task name: Jane in the Emperor's Heart."

"Content and requirements: Even in the era of imperial power, the status of a woman's husband's family is not determined solely by her own talent and virtue. Although she cannot choose her birth, if she can be favored by the nobles in the palace, her importance will be significantly improved. From then on, she will hold her head high and will not be controlled by others! Specifically, please find ways to make the emperor like you and leave a deep impression on you without arousing suspicion!"

"Task completion deadline: 240 minutes from now. If it is not completed within the deadline, it will be deemed as automatic abandonment."

The mission countdown appeared again above his field of vision. Luo Qianhuai sighed in his heart, took the bowl of medicine from Master Mo, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I'm really fine." She moved off the bed, taking two steps despite the pain, and called Xing Xuan again, "It's getting late, hurry up and serve breakfast, don't miss the time to enter the palace."

Master Mo stood aside and watched quietly, without any further interference. There seemed to be thousands of stars shining in his eyes, which fell on Luo Qianhuai without blinking.

There seemed to be a kind of magic there that made him unable to control himself and unable to stop.

In fact, even to this day, she still has many secrets that she doesn't want to tell anyone, but he seems to have been bewitched and doesn't want to delve into it any further.

If she really had made that knife with a purpose, wanting to kill him with one strike at the critical moment, then they would have won a great victory. Because not only would he not dodge, he would also take the initiative to hold her hand and help her send the sharp blade to his heart.

Before he met her, he had always been clear-sighted and self-sustaining about worldly affairs. But after that, she was his destined calamity and his inescapable fate.

After eating and drinking, Luo Qianhuai felt like she was alive again. She didn't know if it was because of the system, but her body's ability to recover was amazing. By the time she changed her clothes, put on her makeup and got in the car, she no longer felt any discomfort.

In the carriage, Master Mo held Luo Qianhuai's hand and looked at her heavily made-up face again, which even the most familiar people might not recognize. He couldn't help laughing and said:

"Yinyin, you don't have to be so cautious." He said, "We are just going through the motions when we enter the palace today. We may not actually see His Majesty in person."

"Huh?" Luo Qianhuai raised his head and looked at him in surprise. Just with such a simple adjustment of posture, the makeup on his face fell down: "Did you make arrangements in advance just in case?"

The smile in Mr. Mo's eyes deepened. He grabbed Luo Qianhuai's hand:

"He was obsessed with the maid Jin'er before." He said, "I was just taking precautions."

"I heard that there are many banquets in the palace during the four seasons. We can't hide forever." Luo Qianhuai said, "Since we have to meet sooner or later, we might as well leave a strong impression on him, so as to avoid encountering Zheng Shaojian and his ilk in the future and causing trouble."

Mr. Mo nodded: "Yinyin is really thoughtful."

As he spoke, he stood up, opened the curtain of the carriage, and gave a few instructions to Wei Ying who was driving.

The carriage stopped outside the South Sima Gate. When Master Mo stepped out, he looked completely different: his face was pale and transparent, and he was so weak that he had to gasp for a long time even when he stepped on a low stool to get off the carriage.

Luo Qianhuai was like a dutiful newlywed woman, trying her best to support her husband. The Jinwu guards on duty at the door recognized Mr. Mo and made way for him.

Young Master Mo had been pretending for a long time and was already used to it. He walked very slowly, and Luo Qianhuai followed him closely.

"Today, a grand court meeting was temporarily added." Master Mo explained to Luo Qianhuai as they walked, "So there are not many people walking around in the palace."

Luo Qianhuai immediately understood: "This is the time you picked on purpose... No, this temporary court meeting, is it related to you? Otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence... So you are so sure that His Majesty won't meet us?"

Young Master Mo looked around calmly, then took advantage of the convenience of leaning on Luo Qianhuai and whispered in his ear:

"Don't blame me, it's all the Xiongnu's wolfish ambitions. Late spring is a time when the grass and water are lush and everything is growing. It's not a good time to start a war, so they rarely come to our borders at this time. However, you heard last time that Wuchanmu Chanyu is new and ambitious, and he urgently needs a big victory to consolidate his position. Therefore, he has been provoking troubles in the border areas recently, hoping to test our Dayu's reaction."

Luo Qianhuai also whispered: "They didn't get what they wanted from Zhao Fu, so why are they so bold?"

"How do you know that they don't have it?" Master Mo smiled slightly.

Luo Qianhuai's mind raced: "So they did get a copy of the defense map... the contents of it..."

"Shh...someone is coming." Master Mo reminded her in her ear.

Sure enough, from a distance, one could see many officials walking out of the tall and majestic Xuanshi Hall, which was located on the central axis of the Weiyang Palace.

"The grand court meeting... ended so quickly?" Luo Qianhuai was a little surprised.

She didn't have to think too much. The one who pushed for the meeting was Young Master Mo, and the one who made it end in a whimper should not be anyone else.

"Didn't Yinyin say that you don't want to hide it and want to meet His Majesty openly?" Master Mo had no intention of hiding it.

"Even so...it won't matter if we wait a little while. There's no need to waste time on these little things."

The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make. The most important thing for those in power is to avoid changing their orders every day. Once any link is not well connected, things will get out of control - this kind of thing has been played out many times in TV dramas in previous lives.

"It's not what you think." Mr. Mo knew that she had misunderstood, but now was not the time to explain: "I'll tell you in detail when we get back."

While they were talking, several eunuchs came running over carrying a sedan chair. After paying their respects, they said, "Your Majesty has left the court. I heard that Marquis Xiang and his wife have arrived. Your Majesty has summoned Marquis Xiang and his wife to the Chengming Palace for an audience. You have also granted Marquis Xiang a sedan chair from the palace."

Didn't the little emperor have a bad relationship with Master Mo? Why did he specially grant him a sedan chair?

Luo Qianhuai had just blinked when he saw the veteran performing artist Mr. Mo. His eyes instantly turned red and tears fell. He knelt down in the direction of Chengming Palace and shouted, "Your Majesty, I, Yu Chu, and my wife, thank you for your grace!"

No matter how dull Luo Qianhuai was, he immediately knelt down beside him and bowed with him.

The leading eunuch was obviously very satisfied with the performance of the two men. He hurried forward to support Master Mo, but he was stuffed with a few golden beans in his hand at a very fast speed. The smile on his face immediately became more brilliant.

The scene of Master Mo slumped weakly on the sedan chair and being carried around in the Weiyang Palace was of extraordinary significance in the eyes of all the court officials.
