Chapter 624: Chapter 624: The Space Detoxification Horror Upgrade (1)_1

Mo Yan didn’t want to draw a crowd, so taking advantage of the predawn darkness, she hastened home on horseback under the escort of a hundred guards and soon reached the border of Liu Yang Village.

At this moment, the eastern horizon was just revealing a pale streak of dawn, and the entire Liu Yang Village was still immersed in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. There were no villagers to be seen up early on the road, and since the Mo Family resided alone by the hillside, it wouldn’t disturb the neighbors. Otherwise, if someone saw such a commotion, the Mo Family might have a hard time keeping it quiet for a while.

Seeing that the front gate was firmly closed, Mo Yan knew that no one in the family had gotten up yet. She could have quietly returned to her own courtyard and kept the previous night’s actions a secret, but looking back at the guards behind her, she felt it was not right to have them make the trip without even offering a sip of water, so she resigned herself to moving forward and rang the bell pull at her own courtyard gate.

The clanging of the bell woke Lixiu’s nephew, who was still asleep. Lixiu told her niece to continue sleeping while she herself got up, getting dressed and wondering who was knocking so early in the morning. As she came out to open the door, she saw Mo Yan with an embarrassed smile and the imposing guards behind her.

Mo Qingze got the message and hurriedly tidied himself before rushing to the front hall to entertain the royal guards. Taking advantage of pouring tea in the kitchen, he glared fiercely at Mo Yan, who was sitting in front of the stove pretending to be dead, deciding to deal with this careless daughter after the guests had left.

Although the tea provided by the Mo Family was sweet and the meat buns especially delicious, which made a good impression on the guards, they still had to return to report and dared not stay too long. After eating and drinking their fill, they politely took their leave amidst the cordial entreaties of Mo Qingze, the family head.

The guards, riding on tall horses, galloped away, their thundering hoofbeats drawing the sidelong gazes of the villagers who had gone to the fields early to work. Seeing that these men were all dressed in yellow jackets and carried large sabers, the villagers’ faces showed uncertain expressions, thinking someone might have committed a grave crime to attract the attention of these royal guards to the village.

The villagers, having never seen such a spectacle, were worried that a disaster might befall their village, and were so concerned that they abandoned their fieldwork to inquire about the situation at the home of the village head.

Yang Bao completely unaware that the royal guards had visited the village, was bewildered upon hearing the villagers’ reports. He could only say he would inquire in the city and advised the villagers not to panic, eventually managing to pacify them.

Mo Yan, who was being sternly reprimanded by Mo Qingze, was completely unaware of the significant commotion she had caused in the village. Kneeling before the ancestral tablets with a pale face, under her father’s severe gaze, she did not dare to move even though her knees were subtly aching terribly.

Mo Qingze, of course, could see his daughter’s discomfort, but he hardened his heart not to look and asked sternly with a straight face, "Do you realize where you went wrong?"

Mo Yan glanced at her father cautiously, lowered her head with guilt, and admitted honestly, "I shouldn’t have lied to father, nor should I have sneaked out in the middle of the night without saying a word, even less should I have taken such risks, doing inappropriate things... I upset father, and it’s my fault. I am willing to be punished, only hoping that father won’t be angry with me and harm your health over this!"

This time, it was indeed her fault. If it weren’t for a lucky break that had saved those princes, she would have been charged with the crime of breaking into an enclosed area; later, she took a risk by offering the Thousand-year Ginseng, and if the Crown Prince’s poison had not been cured successfully, or if something else had happened during the process that led to an incident with the Crown Prince, who knows if Emperor Huian, in his grief over his son, would have vented his anger on her and consequently on her family?

However, she had managed to keep the daytime rescue of Xiao Ruiyuan a secret, only admitting that she went into the mountains to look for the Thousand-year Ginseng. She didn’t know if her father would be angrier knowing that she took a risk to save a man! She would wait for an appropriate opportunity to explain it in detail later.
