Chapter 211
211~ Fighting for Ownership of Sleeping with the Little Princess?~
"Princess Mo, Princess Mo, are you feeling better?"
"Mm, much better."
After drinking a cup of hot steaming black tea and having the little loli maid Xiyan cast a Recovery Magic on her, she felt her entire being became much more refreshed.
"Alright, let me be quiet for a while. I need to think about some things."
She needed some quiet time to properly recall what exactly she discussed with that Midilayo.
"Mm... alright, then Princess Mo, you take your time thinking."
Just taking advantage of this time to go find the Empress and tell the Empress about the little Princess's condition.
For her, the little Princess's current state was truly too worrying. She was afraid the little Princess would directly collapse in a moment.
The little Princess sat at the bedside, eating the breakfast the little loli maid Xiyan carefully prepared for her, continuously recalling.
......
"Your Majesty the Empress! Your Majesty the Empress!"
"Enter."
Hearing it was the little loli maid Xiyan's voice, the Empress set down the pen in her hands and waited for Xiyan's report.
"Your Majesty, um, Princess Mo's body seems somewhat uncomfortable."
"Did you use magic to treat Mo?"
"Yes, now Princess Mo is already much more comfortable, but I see Your Highness's complexion is still somewhat poor."
"Mm, then you continue taking care of Mo for now. Make today's food lighter, and brew some medicine for Mo."
"Okay."
After noting down what the Empress said, she left the office and went to the kitchen to make preparations.
"...Ling."
"Yes."
"Go investigate who is supporting those nobles behind the scenes. After finding out, if you can solve them, solve them directly."
"Yes."
She had already made up her mind. No matter what, she had to eliminate those on the list. Otherwise, if other nobles had no precedent, they also wouldn't obediently stay on their own territories without causing trouble.
Only by executing all those nobles who had already courted death could she deter the remaining nobles. Otherwise, there would be endless troubles.
Even if it would shake Scarlet Phoenix Nation's royal rule, these nobles had to be eliminated.
Behind this group of nobles, someone was secretly supporting them. Even under the situation where she had already arbitrated the nobles' economy, they still had sufficient economic resources to cause trouble.
She had to handle that bastard supporting these nobles behind the scenes along with them.
She didn't know how many merchants and other forces these nobles had colluded with behind her back. She only knew that the interest chain constructed behind her back was extremely massive, so massive that even until now, it still hadn't been completely uncovered.
If it were the little Princess, perhaps there would be a way to help her catch all these nobles in one net? Unfortunately, the little Princess's current state wasn't optimistic. She didn't want the little Princess, who had just barely recovered for a bit, to help her handle the mess Scarlet Phoenix Nation left behind.
Although this mess was also caused by the "Favor Promotion Decree" the little Princess proposed, the real implementer was her.
"Red Leaf!"
"Red Leaf awaits orders."
"Red Leaf, go help me find all the relationship nodes between those nobles and organize them for me."
"Red Leaf receives the order!"
By finding those people who maintained relationships between those nobles, it would be easier for the Maid Ling to find those supporting the nobles behind the scenes.
After everyone left, the Empress also temporarily had no mood to continue reviewing memorials. She planned to pile them up another day and temporarily have the Council handle the unimportant ones...
Very quickly, after she sat on the chair and played with the two beads in her hands a few times, she discovered Xiao Bai crouching on the windowsill.
Fei & Xiao Bai: "..."
After the two stared at each other for a while, Fei seemed to read Xiao Bai's meaning and opened the window.
"Tonight, Mo must sleep with me!"
As soon as the Empress opened the window, Xiao Bai made her demand.
"On what basis? Mo is now my wife. As my wife, accompanying me daily and sleeping together with me is Mo's duty as a wife. On what basis should I agree to let Mo sleep with you?"
Although part of it was said in anger, her unwillingness to let Mo sleep with Xiao Bai was also genuine.
"On what basis? Based on the fact that I promised Master that no matter what, I must ensure Mo's safety. Staying with me twenty-four hours a day is the safest!"
"Is it unsafe by my side then? I am the pinnacle of humanity!"
"You? I think you're the weakest one!"
Neither of them yielded to the other. But because Xiao Bai had the little Princess's restrictions, at most she could only threaten verbally and couldn't cause any substantial impact on the Empress.
Damn it! If it weren't for Master Mo ordering her not to harm this hateful Empress, she would have directly taken off this Empress's head and kicked it like a ball long ago!
And the Empress knew that because of the little Princess's restrictions, Xiao Bai had absolutely no way to deal with her. She also had no means to make Xiao Bai behave.
The current situation was that neither could do anything to the other.
"I don't agree."
"Whether you agree or not isn't up to you! We need to ask Master Mo... Mo's opinion!"
"Mo's opinion?"
The Empress hesitated slightly but very quickly regained confidence.
"Fine. As long as you have Mo personally come tell me she wants to sleep with you, then it's up to you."
"Really?"
"A ruler's word is their bond. I never lie."
With the Empress's guarantee, Xiao Bai's confidence also immediately rose.
She had confidence she could persuade the little Princess to come tell the Empress she was sleeping with her today! And with over ninety percent certainty!
The advantage is mine. There's absolutely no possibility of failure!
Full of confidence, Xiao Bai immediately left the window to go find the little Princess. She just didn't notice that as soon as she left with her front foot, the Empress with her back foot had already contacted Xiyan, who had been accompanying the little Princess the whole time, through magic.
"..."
......
"Master Mo~ Master Mo~"
"Mm? What is it?"
Seeing it was Xiao Bai who came, the little Princess immediately cut off her thoughts and smoothly pushed the little loli maid Xiyan aside somewhat.
"Master Mo~ Tonight, can you please sleep with me? I want to take advantage of tonight to properly examine you."
"Examine? No need..."
What was there for her to examine? Could she not be clear about her own body's condition?
"It's necessary! If there's something wrong with Master Mo's body, Master will definitely blame me in the end!"
"Uh..."
According to Xuan's words, Xiao Bai sometimes was very good at utilizing her appearance advantage to act. Often even Xuan herself couldn't distinguish whether Xiao Bai was acting or genuinely expressing emotion.
But now, she had already seen through some clues.
Xiao Bai's appearance was too eager to achieve some purpose. If it was because she was worried about her physical health, that would be nothing. The key was that the current Xiao Bai seemed to have forgotten one point. Before her eyes was Mo, not Xuan. The set she habitually used on Xuan had almost no effect on her whatsoever.
"Too obvious, Xiao Bai."
The little Princess shook her head, seeming to feel a trace of disappointment in Xiao Bai's behavior.
