Chapter 819 Together (4)
Thanks to Xiao Ruiyuan’s military achievements, his status in the army, and his connection with Chu Heng, the likelihood of being sentenced to death for defying the emperor’s edict was slim. At most, he would be stripped of his official position and nobility.
Once Chu Heng ascended to power, there would still be a place for Xiao Ruiyuan to display his martial skills, so there was no need for excessive worry.
As for Mo Yan, she had too many concerns. If Emperor Huian decided to start with her, she couldn’t defy the edict considering her concern for her relatives.
Even if Xue tuanzi used the Dream Entering Technique to suggest to Emperor Huian in his dreams to dispel the idea of decreeing marriage, there was no guarantee of success. After all, Emperor Huian, a sovereign of a nation, had the pride of an emperor and was not a faint-hearted ruler. If he were truly subjected to the Dream Entering Technique, it might provoke him even more, likely having the opposite effect. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to do so.
The two discussed for a long time but still couldn’t come up with a foolproof plan. For now, they could only take one step at a time.
In the evening, after having dinner at the Mo Family home, Xiao Ruiyuan did not leave as usual.
Mo Yan carried a pot of freshly brewed Cloud and Mist Tea to Mo Qingze and said, "Father, I have something to tell you, let’s go to the study!"
Seeing that Xiao Ruiyuan had not left, Mo Qingze felt that something was unusual. Hearing his daughter’s words, he vaguely guessed what it was. He glanced at Xiao Ruiyuan, who was standing beside Mo Yan, nodded to Mo Yan, and stood up to walk towards the study.
