I'm having EMO, can you help me die?

Chapter 128 Happy Ending

Little Lazy chuckled in the system space, completely unaware that the remark was a sarcastic jab at him.

[Tomorrow, Mo Jinxuan will arrive in Kyoto. Host, hand over the Tiger Tally, and we'll have a happy ending!]

Given Mo Jing's personality, she probably won't even leave a complete corpse.

Shen Qingqing could tell what was going on in his personality these days.

That was just an act in front of her.

However, since he meant her no harm, she didn't need to care so much.

【Then let's do it your way.】

[Really?! Host! I love you so much!]

This was the first time someone had recognized it, and Xiao Lan cried her eyes out in the system.

Shen Qingqing: There's no need to be so moved.

She was just too lazy to think of any other way.

---

midnight.

[Host, now's the time!]

Shen Qingqing, who was sleeping, was startled awake by the system.

【What? 】

Xiao Lan appeared in the Zi Chen Palace disguised as a kitten.

[Stealing the tiger tally?]

【Now?】

You can't see anything in the middle of the night, let alone in the dead of winter.

She simply couldn't bring herself to get out of bed.

"I won't go; it's the same whether you go and retrieve the tiger tally."

The little black cat rolled its eyes, its fluorescent eyes looking like a ghost.

Startled, Shen Qingqing shrank closer to Mo Jing's arms.

Seeing that its host was ignoring it, Xiao Lan rolled over and stopped moving.

Pig mate!

It sacrificed itself to accompany the host on missions, yet the host didn't even move.

【Host! 】

【Host! 】

【Host! 】

After calling for a full incense stick's time, Shen Qingqing still did not respond.

Forget it! I can't rely on the host, I'll just have to rely on it!

In the darkness, Mo Jing opened his eyes; the person beside him was fast asleep in his arms.

He lowered his head and kissed the head of the person in his arms, then pulled them closer.

They held each other tightly.

My love...

When I woke up again, the seat next to me was empty.

"Miss, let me help you change your clothes."

Shen Qingqing nodded, then hesitated before getting out of bed.

"Where is Mo Jing?"

I'm usually asleep at this time, why am I up so early today?

"His Highness the Second Prince has returned to court today and should be in the main hall now."

"Ha~"

Shen Qingqing yawned.

While combing Shen Qingqing's hair, Xiao Cui told her about the interesting things that had happened recently.

"However, there were many more people at the morning court session today."

"?"

Xiao Cui frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows. "About twice the usual amount!"

【system! 】

[Lazybones!]

I called for a long time but there was no response.

By the time Xiao Lan replied, Shen Qingqing was already in the main hall.

[Host, why are you up so early today?]

As soon as Xiao Lan got up to say hello, she heard someone talking.

"By imperial decree of the late emperor, the throne shall be passed to the second prince."

Upon hearing this, the courtiers were alarmed and began whispering amongst themselves.

Mo Jing, the person in question, did not react and simply stared at the people in the hall.

How could this happen?

An elderly minister retorted.

He was one of the people who stayed behind in Mo Jing at that time.

"On the day His Majesty ascended the throne, the imperial edict stated that the throne would be passed to the Third Prince. How could a second imperial edict possibly appear?!"

"Yes!"

Some ministers echoed this sentiment, while others remained silent.

They had long harbored rebellious intentions under Mo Jing's tyranny.

Now that the Second Prince has returned, it's the perfect time to queue up.

"absurd!"

"This imperial edict was given to me by the late emperor five years ago on the day the Second Prince went to war. We followed His Highness and fought against the enemy for many years. Now that we have returned, we do not know how there came to be a second imperial edict?"

The person speaking was none other than Mo Jinxuan's (the Second Prince's) confidant.

"This……"

A hint of doubt flashed in the old minister's eyes.

The other ministers also hesitated, seemingly harboring some doubts.

"You all recognize this, right?"

The man produced a jade seal from somewhere.

"This was entrusted to me by the late emperor to serve as proof."

"this!"

The old minister stepped forward, picked up the jade seal, and examined it carefully.

"This...this is...this is real!"

"this!"

The other ministers were all panicked and dared not make a move.

Although it could be proven to be genuine, the tiger tally was still in Mo Jing's hands, and they dared not act rashly.

"Third brother, hand over the other half of the tiger tally, and I can guarantee you a worry-free life."

Mo Jinxuan had a big smile on his face. He had spent half his life fighting for his father, but he never expected that his father would ultimately choose his third brother.

If he hadn't made preparations in advance, he probably would never have been able to inherit the throne.

Mo Jing got up from the dragon throne, patted his clothes as if he were brushing off something dirty.

"Does Your Highness think I would hand over the Tiger Tally to you?"

Mo Jinxuan smiled and waved his hand, "How about this then?"

Shen Jing, Shen Yuan, Li Wei and the others were tied together.

"Well--"

He took the things out of their mouths.

"You brat, take my precious grandson and get out of here. This man has allied with Southern Chu, and the capital is now completely surrounded."

"Don't worry about this old man, and don't worry about this kid either!"

Suddenly I was glared at.

"Hey! You old man, you don't want to live, but I do!"

Before I could finish speaking, I received another eye roll.

Shen Yuan gave an awkward smile, "Daughter, don't worry about me, I can't wait to see your mother."

He made a symbolic shout.

Being with that old man definitely didn't end well.

[Host, I remember now, we're doing a hidden mission today!]

【. 】

Little Lazy searched through the system space and found it!

[Here you go, host. Once you hand over the Tiger Tally, our mission will be complete!]

"Do you think these few can threaten me?"

"No, it's not my third brother who's being threatened; it's someone else."

His gaze shifted to Shen Qingqing.

In that instant, Mo Jing picked up his sword from the side.

"There are so many people, we can't possibly defeat them, Your Majesty! Please take it easy!" Xiao Lin stood to the side, watching nervously, occasionally exchanging glances with Li Wei.

Xiao Lin: How did you get arrested?

Li Wei: We can't beat them!

"Third brother, I know your swordsmanship is superior to mine, but you should also consider the feelings of those around you, shouldn't you?"

The focus shifted back to Shen Qingqing.

[Host, hurry up! Aren't you tired of standing here?]

【no. 】

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as you hand over the Tiger Tally, I will not take any action. I will bestow upon you the title of Empress Dowager, and from then on, no one will dare to touch you except me."

The air around them seemed to freeze upon hearing this.

Shen Jing hadn't expected this; this person was really daring.

If it were him, he wouldn't be entirely confident in controlling Mo Jing either; this Third Prince, I'm afraid...

blah-

A jet-black sword pierced the air with a loud sound.

In that instant, no one reacted.

Even Mo Jinxuan, who had been leading troops in battle for many years, was a moment slow.

"Your Highness!"

Mo Jinxuan clutched his neck, thankfully he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have lost his life today.

Mo Jing's gloomy eyes were fixed on him. With heavy steps, he took another sword from under the dragon throne.

Xiao Lin: Your Majesty, when did you secretly hide your sword behind my back?

"Third Prince, this is the future emperor of my Mo Kingdom! How dare you!"
