Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Chapter 137 – Reasons to Return (1)

The once gloomy ceremony of sending off the emperor and the army ended with the empress dowager falling into a coma. Meanwhile, all the officials who looked like they were on the verge of death were now beaming with joy, as if they had won the war their selves.

When they returned to the palace, the imperial tutor stealthily walked alongside at Mo Linyuan. “Your Majesty, how did you convince the Yue country to lend a helping hand?”

They simply thought it was too inconceivable of a plan. If the Yue country easily surrendered, their citizens would definitely complain.

Hearing this, Mo Linyuan remembered the brief reply sent from the other party. The only words that were written on it were, ‘With these two things, we now don’t owe each other’.

He helped him claim the throne, and in turn, he too, lent a hand for him to ascend the throne. It was actually only a simple matter.

“It’s not a heavy matter.” Mo Linyuan replied softly; he treated the Imperial Tutor, who was also his actual grandfather, with extreme gentleness. He then asked, “Is there any news since the last time you asked for help?”

The imperial tutor glanced at the youth in front of him. They were related by blood and their long separation from each other had given rise to a higher level of familial affection at the current moment. He sighed and respectfully said, “The best doctor in the Mo country is the Silent Buddhist Master. When all the other doctors heard he had begun treating the miss, they refrained themselves from competing with him.”

Mo Linyuan’s forehead creased. It seemed that sending Ye Mu over to the Silent Buddhist Master is indeed a mistake on his part.

“That monk–is he very famous among the common people?”

The imperial tutor smiled in reply. “Not only does he have good reputation, but this Silent Buddhist Master is also the direct disciple of the late senior monk Wen Ji, who was the greatest among them monks. Moreover, he has great medical skills. The rarest thing is that he is a very just person, treating all patients equally. Because of this, he is very known in the capital of the Mo Country.”

Hearing how the Silent Buddhist Master was such a high-ranking monk who discipled under an esteemed senior monk. Mo Linyuan finally felt the feeling of reassurance crept to his nagging heart. But he still said:

“Keep searching. We must be able to find someone stronger than him.”

“Yes…”

The imperial tutor silently noted this down before he watched the youth walk away before him.

From the moment he heard that the empress dowager was to personally take him into the palace, he thought this empress dowager would take this opportunity to gnaw on a piece of meat from her prey. But, this seemingly frail youth was sharp as a beast king! All of them were worried for nothing. With such an emperor around, taking down the empress dowager was just around the corner.

The next day, the empress dowager woke up.

She had never suffered such a loss before. The moment she woke up, Zhao Yunqin slayed more than a dozen of her servants in her uncontrollable fury, causing a great deal of commotion. Regardless of this, she couldn’t help but shed blood at the thought of Mo Linyuan’s foolish face which had been a façade to fool her from the very beginning!

He’s truly that slut’s child. Despite being only ten years old, he already had a heart of darkness. His attacks were truly ruthless!

As long as she thought of how she had personally promoted him to the throne and given him military authority, Zhao Yunqin’s blood began to boil, her body trembling. She didn’t know if the Yue emperor was brainless for helping a crown prince without any real power. But this scheme made her suffer terrible losses instead!

No… The more Zhao Yunqin thought about it, the more she felt like the words were stuck in her throat. That brat, Mo Linyuan, was only so young, yet he already had extraordinary means for the throne.

A murderous light flashed in her eyes. It seems…there is no other way but to kill Mo Linyuan before he could sit firmly on his throne!

Because of his ascension as the new emperor of the Mo country, half of the Imperial Guard’s power had fallen into his hands. Although, the empress dowager had intervened several times in powerplay, all of her endeavors had been neutralized by Mo Linyuan. But later on, the empress dowager received news that a very important person to Mo Linyuan was sick and currently receiving treatment from the Silent Buddhist Master.

Someone very important?

Zhao Yunqin seemed to have thought of something and coldly smiled.
