Chapter 452 Prince VS Little Brother 52
Xiao Yubai returned to the palace with a slightly tired look on his face. As soon as he stepped into the mansion, Mo Qin and Mo Hua looked at each other, both of them looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xiao Yubai snorted softly, raised his eyes and glanced at them, his lips curled slightly, and said with a hint of helplessness: "I know what you two are holding in your hearts. I'm not a fool. How could I not see his little thoughts and obvious intentions!"
As he said this, he rolled his eyes, as if to say that their worries were unnecessary.
Mo Hua stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said with a look of concern and a hint of worry, "My Lord, I'm worried that the Yong'an Marquisate and Xiao Changzai are colluding and combining forces to put pressure on you, forcing you to go to Hanshui Temple to pray."
As he spoke, his brows were furrowed, and various unfavorable situations that might arise kept emerging in his mind. He secretly thought that he must make thorough preparations in advance. After all, in this world, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Xiao Yubai didn't think too much about it. He felt that even if they joined forces, he would be fine as long as he didn't get fooled.
That night, the palace was quiet and everyone was sleeping peacefully in their own residences.
However, on this seemingly peaceful night, a piece of news quietly spread in the streets and alleys of the capital that the Regent was going to Hanshui Temple to pray for the people and the Regent.
The next morning, when Mo Hua heard the news, her face flushed with anger. She said bitterly, "I knew they had bad intentions. Sure enough, they resorted to such tactics."
He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger. The strongest thought in his mind at this moment was that he wanted to immediately wipe out those people in Yong'an Marquis Mansion to prevent future troubles.
Xiao Yubai sat in a chair, his fingers tapping the tabletop intermittently. (His gesture was a perfect imitation of Fu Nanzhan's.)
He complained with a depressed look on his face, "They are such scoundrels! They are obviously afraid that I won't go, so they are deliberately spreading the news to set a trap for me.
Now, even if I didn’t want to go, I have to go for the sake of the reputation of the Regent’s Palace. What kind of a deal is this? "
"Your Highness, you'd better not go. The prince won't care whether he is famous or not, as long as you are fine." Mo Hua thought that the prince was not someone who cared about his reputation, otherwise the rumor in the capital would have spread that the prince was a "husband-dominated" person. If the prince cared about it, he would have suppressed it long ago.
On second thought, the prince himself probably doesn't know about this, otherwise it might add fuel to the fire and confirm the "husband is in charge" rule!
"No, even if my husband doesn't care about his reputation, we can't let him go out to fight. We're ruining the reputation of the palace."
Mo Qin stood aside, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then calmly analyzed: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be too anxious. From another perspective, this matter is also a good thing for us.
Since we already know that this is a trap set up intentionally by someone else, the current situation is that they are in the open and we are in the dark.
We might as well have the secret guards go with us and take this opportunity to directly catch the person behind this trick. This way we can solve this problem once and for all."
Xiao Yubai's eyes lit up, and he seemed to think this was a good idea. He quickly said, "That's right. Then tomorrow we will go to Hanshui Temple as they planned. When the time comes, you will find a suitable opportunity to quietly leave, and then secretly follow me..."
However, before Xiao Yubai could finish his words, Mo Qin and Mo Hua interrupted him hurriedly as if they were burned by fire.
Mo Qin said anxiously, "Lord, please forgive us. If anything happens to you, how will we explain it to His Majesty?"
Mo Hua also echoed, "That's right, Wang Jun, if anything happens to you, where else in the world will you find a master as good as you? We absolutely cannot let you take any risks."
The two of them spoke back and forth quickly and urgently, like a machine gun, completely rejecting Xiao Yubai's original plan.
After some heated discussions and arguments, everyone finally came up with a compromise.
They thought it was okay for his two young servants to go with them. After all, who would have thought that two seemingly weak young servants could actually know martial arts?
In this way, Xiao Yubai can feel at ease without affecting his secret actions, and it may even come in handy at a critical moment.
With a serious expression, Mo Qin summoned the secret guards left by Fu Nanzhan to a secluded corner, and explained in detail the itinerary for tomorrow's trip to Hanshui Temple, as well as the response plan they had carefully planned in advance. He repeatedly reminded them of every detail to ensure that everything went smoothly.
The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds, spreading out brilliantly, bright and dazzling.
Xiao Yubai took Mo Qin and Mo Hua with him, riding in a gorgeous carriage, and slowly headed towards Hanshui Temple.
Along the way, the sound of horse hooves and carriages could be heard. Xiao Yubai lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, as if thinking about something.
