The father and son walked out of Lan Yin Hall. Mo Xiao turned his head and asked Mo Chengning, "Are you really going to take him in?"

Mo Chengning glared: "My mother gave it to me, is my father going to snatch it from me?"

"Don't play dumb with me, you little brat," Mo Xiao said unhappily, "You know very well that's not a palace maid, but the second prince Tuoba Xuan."

Mo Chengning: "My mother gave me a little maid, not Tuoba Xuan."

Mo Xiao: "..."

So, how is he going to explain to the world that you have turned him into a little palace maid?

As Mo Chengning walked forward, he smiled and said, "The Second Prince Tuoba Xuan left the palace secretly to look for a woman and his whereabouts are unknown. He disregarded the safety of the two countries. This is a great humiliation to us. Can Father tolerate such a thing?"

Mo Xiao twitched his lips, looked at Mo Chengning, and said slowly: "I can't stand it."

"I can't stand it either," Mo Chengning and Mo Xiao looked at each other and said with a smile, "So, beat him!"

Mo Xiao was silent for a moment, then slapped Mo Chengning on the back of his head: "You are so cunning at such a young age, who taught you that?"

Mo Chengning replied loudly: "I have been taught by my father himself since I was a child."

Mo Xiao twitched his lips and was speechless for a while.

He shook his head and thought to himself: Forget it, if you are more careful, you won't be bullied easily.

Three days after the assassination of Lan Yindian, a major incident occurred in the palace. The second prince who came to negotiate peace actually ran away.

Because of this incident, His Majesty was furious and imprisoned all the envoys and conducted a thorough investigation into Tuoba Xuan's escape.

Later, it was reported that Tuoba Xuan had secretly left the palace just for the woman in the painting, which made everyone in the court unable to sit still.

Previously, the Second Prince had been extremely excessive in the peace talks. He even asked them to find the woman in the painting before signing the peace agreement. Now, he abandoned the peace talks between the two countries and left privately just because of this woman. This simply showed that he did not take them seriously and was a slap in their faces.

The old ministers who had been advocating peace talks before were now unable to say anything tough, and the court suddenly became much more harmonious.

After returning from court, Zhou Chen followed Mo Xiao, and the smile on his face could not be removed.

Mo Xiao glanced at him: "So happy?"

"I can't help it," Zhou Chen said immediately, "In the past, they always had various reasons to refute us in the court. Today, they are all quiet. I feel that the air in the court is particularly fresh."

He really felt relieved.

Those old ministers advocated peace talks and did not want to take risks. They just wanted to stay in their positions and wait for death for the rest of their lives, fearing any changes. However, they were old and there was no way to ignore them. They were always very frustrating in the court.

"The Empress Chen's move was brilliant," Zhou Chen couldn't stop talking, and said with a smile, "The Empress Chen cut off the source of the trouble, allowing them to act up. Now that the person is gone, let's see how they can quibble."

When Lin Jiuqing was mentioned, Mo Xiao smiled, but he said, "She doesn't care about these things."

Zhou Chen glanced at Mo Xiao's expression and responded, "Coincidence, it's all coincidence. How could the Concubine Chen know about these court affairs?"

Mo Xiao glanced at him and said nothing. The group quickly walked into Yinghua Hall.

"Those envoys are making a lot of trouble," Zhou Chen asked softly, "How should we deal with it?"

"Let them make trouble," Mo Xiao said without raising his head, "Send them back in a few days."
