The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

At this time, in the Prince Regent's Mansion, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) saw her return and hurriedly walked up to her and asked, "How is the Sun and Moon Palace?"

Xing Xuanli sighed softly and said, "The situation is relatively stable, but some matters are quite complicated to handle."

Yun Mohan frowned slightly: "Have you encountered any difficult problems?"

Xing Xuanli shook her head: "It's not something that can't be solved, it just takes some time and effort."

Yun Mohan nodded, his eyes full of concern: "You've worked hard."

Xing Xuanli smiled faintly: "This is what I should do."

The two walked into the house. Yun Mohan ordered the servants to prepare tea, and sat down with Xing Xuanli, continuing to talk about matters concerning the Sun and Moon Palace.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) whispered to Xing Xuanli, "By the way, Li'er, the Queen Mother's birthday is in a few days. If it's not convenient for you, we can postpone it."

Xing Xuanli was slightly startled, then said, "How can this be turned down? The Queen Mother's birthday is a big deal."

Yun Mohan gently held her hand: "I know you've been busy and tired recently, and I'm worried you can't handle it."

Xing Xuanli smiled and shook her head: "No problem, it's the Queen Mother's birthday, we should go and celebrate."

Yun Mohan looked at her determined expression and said, "Okay, but you need to rest well these few days and don't overwork yourself."

Xing Xuanli nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) said: "In recent days, several princes in the palace have tried to win over other forces."

Xing Xuanli frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know which forces they are?"

Yun Mohan replied solemnly, "At present, we only know that the eldest prince is in contact with some important officials of the court, and the third prince seems to have some dealings with martial arts sects."

Xing Xuanli pursed her lips lightly: "It seems they can't hold it back anymore."

Yun Mo snorted coldly, "This group of people will do anything to fight for power."

Xing Xuanli looked at him: "Then how should we deal with it?"

Yun Mohan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see how big a storm they can stir up."

Perhaps they were trying to win over the Sun Moon Palace. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) said, "After all, the Sun Moon Palace is growing stronger day by day. Li'er, even though you are the Palace Master of the Sun Moon Palace, you can't always know what's going on in the palace."

Xing Xuanli sighed softly: "Indeed, the situation in the palace is complex and unpredictable."

Yun Mohan held her hand and comforted her, "But there's no need to worry too much. We just need to be careful."

Xing Xuanli nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm just worried that their actions will affect us."

Yun Mohan's eyes were deep: "No matter what, I will protect you."

Xing Xuanli looked at him, her eyes full of trust: "With you here, I feel much more at ease."

Yun Mohan gently held her in his arms: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Xing Xuanli leaned on Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han's) chest and said softly, "Han, no matter what happens in the court, we just need to remain neutral."

Yun Mohan tightened his arms slightly and responded, "Li'er, I understand your thoughts, but this neutral stance may not be sustainable for long."

Xing Xuanli raised her head and looked at him firmly: "We must hold on for as long as possible. Getting involved in palace disputes will only lead to endless trouble."

Yun Mohan gently stroked her hair and said, "I understand your concerns, but even if the tree wants to be still, the wind will not stop. I'm afraid that even if we want to remain neutral, others may not tolerate it."

Xing Xuanli frowned slightly: "Then we can only take it one step at a time and try not to actively participate in it."

Yun Mohan nodded: "Okay, whatever you say. I hope the situation doesn't deteriorate too quickly."

Xing Xuanli leaned on his chest again, and the two of them hugged each other quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility. However, they both knew in their hearts that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges.

Meanwhile, in the back mountain of Lingxiao Sect, Luo Lingshan was being held captive. Since making a deal with the mysterious man, his strength had greatly increased.

"Xing Xuanli, even if there is no system, what can the luck-stealing Gu do? I am no longer the same person I was before." Luo Lingshan's eyes revealed a fierceness and pride.

She recalled the days when she was suppressed by Xing Xuanli, and her heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness. But now, she felt that she finally had enough capital to fight against Xing Xuanli.

Luo Lingshan clenched her fists, feeling the powerful force surge within her. She muttered to herself, "This power makes me fearless. Xing Xuanli, your brilliance is about to be eclipsed by me."

At this moment, she had already started to think about how to defeat Xing Xuanli in front of everyone and let everyone know that she, Luo Lingshan, was the strongest.

However, this sudden powerful power did not make Luo Lingshan completely at ease. She knew that the deal with the mysterious man would inevitably hide huge risks, but blinded by the desire for revenge and transcendence, she chose to ignore these hidden dangers for the time being.

Luo Lingshan took a deep breath and decided to walk out of this confined place first to find Xing Xuanli and start a contest between them.

The shadow lurking in Lingxiao Sect saw that Luo Lingshan had been in close contact with the mysterious person recently. He sent a letter to the Regent. After receiving the letter, the shadow in the palace immediately gave it to Yun Mohan (Nangong Han).

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) was sitting in his study, pondering the situation in the court, when Shadow hurried in, presenting a letter with both hands: "Your Highness, this is news from the Lingxiao Sect."

Yun Mohan took the letter and quickly glanced through it. His expression instantly darkened. "This Luo Lingshan is interacting with this mysterious person so frequently. There must be something fishy going on."

Shadow stood aside, waiting for Yun Mohan's instructions.

Yun Mohan stood up and paced back and forth in the study. After a moment, he said, "An Yi, tell An Si to keep an eye on the Lingxiao Sect's movements, especially Luo Lingshan. Further investigate Luo Lingshan and the mysterious man. Don't miss any clues."

An Yi clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will arrange it right away."

Yun Mohan sat back in his chair, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, thinking to himself: I wonder what kind of changes the appearance of this mysterious person will bring to the current situation. I must find out their purpose as soon as possible.

He stood alone in the center of the room, the once intact teacup in his hand now reduced to dust, falling from his fingers. The air around him seemed to become stagnant because of his anger, and the silence was oppressive.

Yun Mohan stared intently ahead, his gaze blazing with rage, as if he wanted to consume the invisible enemy. "Luo Lingshan, if you dare to hurt Li'er in the slightest, I will destroy you!" He muttered to himself, his voice echoing through the empty study.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. The veins on his forehead throbbed, revealing his extreme anger and determination.

The study was so quiet that he could only hear his heavy breathing. Yun Mohan was alone, immersed in anger and worry, thinking about how to deal with the crisis that might come and how to protect his beloved Xing Xuanli from harm.
