Time Travel and Love

With only two days left until the Crown Prince's abdication, she needed to practice more during these two days, even if it was just to become more proficient. She had someone inform Shuang Cheng that she would not be returning to the villa for the next two days, and asked him to find a substitute and return on the last day. Kui Wenzhong looked at the other Miao Dao with a mixture of laughter and tears. Jiu Ye wasn't particularly proficient with it, but she still wanted to try dual blades.

But Chu Qingmeng seemed determined to master it. She practiced horseback archery in the morning and dual swordsmanship in the afternoon. However, her hands rarely held a weapon, and after more than an hour, they began to swell and ache, requiring ointment almost every hour. She even sent Feiying and Feiling to practice with her. They were startled by Chu Qingmeng wielding a sword, and after learning the full story, they obediently released their internal energy to practice with her. Chu Qingmeng also stopped using her spiritual energy, as it was too draining and left her feeling sleepy afterward.

Chu Qingmeng had not returned for two days and only told Shuang Cheng, but not Mo Liujin, which caused a not-so-pleasant misunderstanding between the two.

At this moment, Shuang Cheng, who was almost hugged by Mo Liujin, pressed a dart against Mo Liujin's throat. Mo Liujin also suddenly realized that the person today was not Chu Qingmeng. She did not have the smell of Qingmeng.

Shuang Cheng awkwardly withdrew the dart that was pressed against Mo Liujin's throat. Fortunately, he was wearing a human skin mask, otherwise, his face would have been red to the point of bleeding! Which man could accept that he was almost hugged by another man! He had not raised his guard just now and did not notice Mo Liujin's arrival. He coughed twice and let go of his voice and said, "Son-in-law, our master has something to do and will not be returning to the villa for the next two days."

Mo Liujin was also very embarrassed. He should have noticed when he entered the room. The man in front of him did not have the smell of Qing Meng. "Hmm. Double-pass? Bone shrinking skill?"

"Yes. I am good at using hidden weapons and disguising myself. I need to change my body shape to suit different disguises. People in ordinary disguises cannot fool those spies. I have been with me for a long time and am familiar with my habits, so I stayed." Shuang Cheng explained.

"Where did your grandfather go?"

"I went back to the fifth floor to deal with some matters, but it wasn't the place you went to. Wen Zhong took her away, but I don't know where exactly they went." Shuang Cheng replied to Mo Liujin in a businesslike manner.

Mo Liujin nodded and left through the window. He went to the fifth floor but couldn't find Kui Wenzhong, so he had to return to the palace.

The next morning, the Emperor did not arrive for court. Eleventh Prince claimed illness and did not attend. The Eighth Prince, however, stood in the main hall, confident and confident. The Emperor was over a quarter of an hour late, and the hall was in chaos. Chu Qingmeng was still sitting behind the screen, but the difference today was that the four of them were all around her. After hearing the news brought by Wen Zhong, she couldn't help but shiver. She said the Crown Prince was stupid, and he really was stupid. I thought he was quite smart. It seems that his brains were all given by Eleventh Prince. With a slight nod, he gestured for Shuang Cheng to go out and tell Mo Chenfeng. Shuang Cheng lowered his presence, walked lightly to Mo Chenfeng's side, whispered a few words, and then returned to the screen.

Mo Chenfeng frowned, feeling somewhat uncertain. How could the Crown Prince be so foolish?! He wouldn't do such a thing if he had a bit more brains! He chose to force the emperor to abdicate during the morning court session. What was he thinking?! Luckily, Ting Qingmeng had learned that his grandchildren had been sent to the palace two days in advance under various identities. Even if reinforcements couldn't arrive quickly, the Emperor's safety wouldn't be threatened so quickly.

The sudden sound of fighting outside startled the courtiers, and the civil officials outside the palace were shocked for a moment before realizing someone was forcing the emperor to abdicate. At this moment, the emperor, escorted by Mo Jiangheng and his men, arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. However, the emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, was gloomy and furious.

Chu Qingmeng shook his head and pointed at the emperor. Quan Si lowered his head and went to the throne. "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. This is expected. It's just a matter of time. Take care of your health."

The Emperor then took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He wasn't angry at the Crown Prince for forcing him to abdicate, but rather that he had no brains at all to do so during the morning court session! Even if he succeeded, how would he explain his actions in front of the entire court?! The Emperor felt that even a pig's brain was better than the Crown Prince's! Someone with a clear mind could have forced him to abdicate at night! Force him to abdicate and explain it to the outside world! But, he didn't even have that much brains!!!

By noon, the sounds of fighting reached the palace. The military commanders, mostly Mo Liujin's men, had been ordered not to resist; they had to save their strength for Old Eighth. Old Eighth would take care of the Crown Prince's men. Most of the civil officials huddled together, trembling with fear, while a few erupted in anger. Only those, as skilled in martial arts as Mo Liuyuan, remained unfazed.

The prince, protected by a group of guards, approached, sword in hand. Chu Qingmeng had fallen asleep shortly after the sounds of fighting began. She'd been exhausted for the past two days, and she was no exception, sharpening her sword before the battle. Her steady breathing caught Mo Liujin's ears, who had been paying attention to her. He curled his lips slightly. She could actually sleep. Wasn't she afraid of the noise?

The Eighth Prince had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Although Kui Wenzhong noticed it, he did not wake up Chu Qingmeng. This was a normal behavior and there was no need to disturb his rest.
