Quick Wear: The Villain's Beloved

Chapter 282 The Princess and the Secret Guard (9)

Mo Chen's Qinggong was very fast, and soon, the two returned to the palace. The eunuch beside the emperor was waiting in Lan Qian's palace. When he saw them, he immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully:

"This servant greets Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."

"Eunuch Wang? What's the matter?"

Lan Qian was carefully put down by Mo Chen and took a look at the eunuch who was already quite old. Eunuch Wang was the top eunuch beside Emperor Yan. Generally, he would not come in person unless there was something important.

"Your Highness, Princess Nine," Eunuch Wang saw that Princess Nine was actually being held by a secret guard. He did not show anything on his face. He just glanced at the two of them and said respectfully, "Your Majesty wants to summon the secret guard Mo."

Hearing this, Lan Qian frowned slightly.

Mo Chen is already her secret guard, but Emperor Yan, as the emperor of a country, specially summoned him. This may not be a good thing.

She looked at Eunuch Wang.

"Father wants to see Mo Chen, but what's the matter?"

"This... I don't know either," said Eunuch Wang. "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, His Majesty is waiting in the Imperial Study. I'd better take the Mo Anwei there first to avoid keeping His Majesty waiting for too long."

"Okay, you go."

Lan Qian turned around to look at Mo Chen and said to him, "When you come back later, remember to go to the imperial kitchen and bring back a portion of chestnut cake. I haven't eaten it for a long time."

"Yes, princess."

Mo Chen responded in a low voice.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, I will take my leave first," Eunuch Wang bowed again and said to Mo Chen, "Mo Anwei, please follow us."

Mo Chen nodded and went to the imperial study with Eunuch Wang.

After they left, Lan Qian's brows were still furrowed. She called a maid and asked, "Did anything happen in the palace today?"

"Your Highness," the maidservant said respectfully, and a little tremblingly, "I have not been outside the palace today, and I have not heard what happened in the palace. Can... can I go and find out?"

"Well, go down."

Lan Qian waved.

It’s really inconvenient without the little dumpling.

"Yes."

The servant quickly retreated.

In recent days, the princess has liked having Mo Anwei serving her, and her temperament seems to have improved a lot, which makes the servants feel relieved. When Mo Anwei left today, they thought the princess would get angry.

Fortunately, the princess didn't...

I hope Mo Anwei can come back soon.

"and many more."

Lan Qian called the maid again.

"Princess, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

The maid was filled with fear, thinking that the princess would punish her again as she had done before, and she quickly came back and knelt on the ground.

"Get up," Lan Qian said with a little helplessness. The original owner's image of being spoiled and reckless was too deeply rooted in people's minds. "Send someone to the imperial study to keep an eye on it. If there is any news, come back and tell me immediately."

"Yes, slave, go now!"

The maid breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.

……

Royal study room.

Emperor Yan, who was already middle-aged but had a dignified face, sat on the dragon throne, looking at the young man in front of him who still had a calm expression with sharp eyes.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Mo Chen is neither humble nor arrogant.

"I don't know."

"Mo Chen, you are the most outstanding secret guard since the establishment of the secret guard camp. It is a waste of talent to let you go to Xiao Jiu's side." Emperor Yan stood up and slowly walked to the desk. "I originally planned to let you be the commander of the secret guard camp."

"Your Majesty, I am with the Ninth Princess...very well."

Mo Chen lowered his eyes slightly.

He suddenly had a bad idea in his mind.

As expected, Emperor Yan continued, "Xiao Jiu is my favorite princess. I have to satisfy her requests. However, Xiao Jiu's personality is that she is always partial to people and things. She will get tired of it after a while."

He also heard that in the past two months, Xiao Jiu often enjoyed punishing Mo Chen, and it seemed that he did not like him.

"After a while, I will let you return to the Dark Guard Battalion. I believe that under your leadership, the Dark Guard Battalion will become my most loyal and elite force, and you will also be the sharpest sword in my hand."

Hearing this, Mo Chen tightened his hands at his side.

He clasped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, I am already the Ninth Princess's secret guard. I am afraid that I am not suitable for the position of the commander of the secret guard camp. Your Majesty should choose someone else..."

"My decision has been made."

Emperor Yan interrupted him, staring at Mo Chen with sharp eyes, and warned him in a dignified voice: "Mo Chen, you are my favorite candidate, don't let me down."

As the Son of Heaven, he would never allow anyone to challenge his authority.

Mo Chen knew this.

He lowered his head and clenched his hands a little tighter.

"……Yes."

After Mo Chen left, Emperor Yan was the only one left in the imperial study. He sat back on the dragon chair behind the desk, thought for a while, and suddenly spoke to the air.

"Check his background again."

"This time, no detail is too big or too small."

"Yes!"

A respectful voice echoed in the air.

Mo Chen left the imperial study and headed towards the imperial kitchen. His little princess wanted to eat chestnut cake and was waiting for him to come back.

He thought about every detail of his time with the little princess, but the more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

No one can resist your majesty's orders.

But what about the little princess?

Is it true, as Your Majesty said, that you are only somewhat enthusiastic about him?

"Eh? Is this the palace of the former imperial concubine? I heard that the imperial concubine was the only imperial concubine in our dynasty and was extremely favored."

"Shh! You don't want your life!"

Next to a palace, a palace maid was whispering something. The maid's voice was very low, and there was some fear in it.

"This is a taboo in the palace. Ever since the Imperial Concubine passed away, His Majesty has not allowed anyone to mention the Imperial Concubine. A few years ago, a few palace maids mentioned her, and His Majesty found out. As a result, they were all beaten to death."

"What? But...but isn't the Imperial Concubine the Ninth Princess' biological mother?"

Hearing the words "Ninth Princess", Mo Chen stopped.

He stood behind a stone lion.

"Who knows?" Another maid looked around cautiously and whispered, "I heard that the imperial concubine was originally the wife of a minister. Because she was too beautiful, His Majesty took a fancy to her and brought her to the palace."

"Really?"

The maid covered her mouth.

"Then...what about the minister?"

"I heard that the whole family was exiled and died on the road."

"My God..."

"Shh! Stop talking and go!"

Mo Chen walked out slowly after the two palace maids left.

He looked up at the palace. The gates were closed and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time. He wondered what the inside looked like.

It turns out that there is such a secret history in the palace.

Does the little princess know these things?

After standing at the palace gate for a while, he left silently.
