Chapter 134 – Request (2)
As the Silent Buddhist Master thought of this, he retracted his hand holding a needle that he had intended to insert into Ye Mu. The inner Qi he learned was the Heart Cleansing Formula—the type of technique that was very stimulating for the Divine Terminator Technique. So, if Ye Mu were to be given to someone else for healing, it would be very difficult for her to wake up in the other person’s hands.
However, to the Silent Buddhist Master, it was only a very simple matter.
But…if he woke her up too early, it would be the same as speeding up the evolution of a devil. Was he truly going to do something catastrophic as that?
Praying to the benevolent Bodhisattva, the space between his eyebrows silently wrinkled. In the end, he placed down the needle, giving Ye Mu only a little bit of medicinal soup.

On the other side, not long after Mo Linyuan returned to the relay station, he was ambushed.
The other party clearly harbored a never-ending desire to kill him, that even if her dreadful acts were to be caught, she would opt to bite a poison sac and commit suicide. Thus, she didn’t hesitate to send his people over to make ruckus for Mo Linyuan.
After all the assassins had been cleaned up, it was obvious that the tutor who had come to visit Mo Linyuan had become very depressed with the unfavorable situation.
“This isn’t the way to go on…Your Highness should enter the palace as soon as possible. Because as long as your identity can be recognized, the Imperial army can then be mobilized by you. This way, the Empress Dowager won’t be able to do as she pleases.”
As he said this, Mo Linyuan on the other hand had already received a reply from a letter he had sent out earlier.
“Grand Tutor, rest at ease.”
After a fierce battle, Mo Linyuan actually displayed a smile after reading the contents of the letter. “It won’t be long before esteemed Empress Dowager personally goes out of her way to invite me to the imperial palace.”
He said this very confidently–but how could that possible?
Everyone felt that Mo Linyuan was just boasting. As a ten-year-old child, apart from some of the imperial clansmen he had and some ministers supporting his bloodline, he had nothing else. It was a difficult feat for the empress dowager to personally send him a message inviting him when his identity is currently unknown; especially right now when the empress dowager wanted nothing more than to have him assassinated.
And even if the tattoo on Mo Linyuan’s back could prove his identity, he couldn’t just impudently take off his clothes and show it to other people!
When the ministers heard the Grand Tutor’s words, they all felt worry in their hearts. It looked like the old officials like them had to think of a plausible way–the crown prince was truly still too young.
And as with everyone’s expectations, Mo Linyuan stayed at the relay for half a month with the empress dowager still continuing to ignore his presence. It was clear that she didn’t want to acknowledge him as the Mo crown prince. Therefore, the old ministers applied pressure every time through written letters, but the empress dowager would only use various methods to add fuel to the fire and send more dead soldiers to kill people at the station.
But one day, a report from the border suddenly disturbed the hearts of many people. But the empress dowager’s cloudy face only cleared up after reading this war report.
Didn’t those old ministers always nag her to bring the crown prince back?
Good! If you want him back badly, then I’ll do it!
This report was nothing more than the Yue country sending their troops to the Mo Country. And with lightning speed, they had already conquered two of the Mo Country’s border cities.
The opposing party was the new emperor of the Yue country himself. In order to show off his might, he had burned the flag of the Mo Country in front of countless people, and he had even laughed at the fact that there was no one in the Mo Country willing to step forth and defend them.
However, everyone knew that the Emperor had been sick for several years and secluded himself. So how could he accept this challenge in his physical state?
But right now, there was only one other suitable candidate.
The empress dowager had planned things out very well. With so many ministers forcing her to bring the crown prince back, it was actually impossible for her to hold him back for a long time.
However, the newly ascended Emperor of the Yue country had come knocking on their country’s door, blatantly asking the Emperor of Mo Country to set off for a war.
Then…she might as well go with the flow and bring Mo Linyuan back!
