Chapter 80: Back In The Capital

Zhang Jiu and Li Fei didn’t look too well either. Reaching the Capital of Beiming meant that Ouyang Yaoyi might just kill them. Although they tortured Ouyang Yaoyi until her body was completely defeated, she didn’t go crazy and could recover just fine after some rest.

In the Capital, the women on both sidewalks gazed at Han Moze with infatuated eyes.

All they could see was Han Moze’s exceptionally handsome good looks and his chiseled, sharp facial features.

On the outside, he may look unruly but he released a natural radiance in his eyes that made people not dare underestimate him.

He had a head of flowing black hair, a pair of sharp eyebrows above his enchantingly long and narrow eyes; those same eyes that had a wise glow. If people weren’t careful, those eyes made people fall to his evil clutches.

He had a tall nose bridge and reasonably thick lips which, in this very moment, flashed a captivating smile that dazzled people.

In those women’s hearts, he was the God of war and a good Emperor who protected people from harm. Whoever married him would truly have the fortune of several lifetimes. With that thought, they were a little jealous of the betrothed princess.

As Han Moze rode his black stallion, he had a sudden thought which made him break into a wide smile, causing the women’s hearts to flutter even more so.

All of a sudden, commoners began to kneel one after the other and cry, “We respectfully welcome your majesty! Long live the Emperor!”

As the procession marched forward, shortly reaching the imperial palace, the sound of cheering erupted, proving just how much Han Moze was loved by the people.

Then, the procession emerged from the commoner’s residential area, passed many guards and eventually reached the group of civil and military officials.

“Respectfully welcoming your majesty! Long live the Emperor!” Kneeled and greeted the hundreds of officials.

Han Moze continued to lead the bridal procession into the living quarters of the Emperor, concubines and palace maids.

Once they entered the imperial palace, Han Moze dismounted first. Then, others followed suit one after the other.

Han Moze waited until the servants took the horses away, before he grinned at the officials. “Thank you everyone for your hard work. I will invite you all to a feast another day. You may be excused for today,” he said flatly to the minister of rites.

“Yes, your majesty!” Replied several high ranking officials.

After Han Moxi watched the officials leave, he stepped forward. “Royal brother, I shall take my leave too. Finally, I can go back and get a good night’s rest,” he said with a soft smile.

Han Moze scoffed. “I’m afraid you may not do as you wish. I still have a task for you,” he said coldly.

“Royal brother, can this not wait until tomorrow?” Asked Han Moxi with a forced smile.

Han Moze grunted coldly and grabbed the Blood Feast authorisation tally from his waist and handed it to Han Moxi. “Visit all the Blood Feast properties in the Capital and find her,” he said flatly.

“Royal brother, would it not be all the same if you left this task to the bodyguards?” Asked Han Moxi with pursed lips.

Han Moze smiled and argued with conviction. “It would be difficult to not raise suspicion if it was left to the bodyguards. I feel more at ease leaving it to you.” With that, he patted Han Moxi’s shoulder and calmly said, “Go on now.”

Han Moxi furrowed his brows and unwillingly took the tally from him. “Then brother, I’ll be going now,” he said in disappointment.

Thereafter, he turned around whilst tightly clutching the tally and left with gritted teeth. The high ranking officials saw the sullen look on Han Moxi’s face and didn’t dare walk up to them to greet them and express their sympathies.

With a wicked smile, Han Moze watched Han Moxi walk angrily away.

Oh royal brother, bullying you every now and then is also one of my hobbies.

If Han Moxi heard what was going through Han Moze’s mind, he would definitely throw the tally back at him in anger!

Han Moxi’s mother was the former Emperor’s concubine Rong, Han Yueming, who passed away after complications giving birth. After that happened, Han Moxi was sent to a side chamber and was raised by a wet nurse. Concubine Rong’s father was army general Shen Yixiu, a second rank who cared for Han Moxi after his mother’s passing because the Emperor saw him as an unlucky presence. On top of it all, Han Moxi’s wet nurse was naturally kind, so Han Moxi grew up considerably happily without worry.
