Chapter 212 Undercurrents
"There's news." The niece walked quickly into the imperial study with a serious expression.
Mo Yunchen was discussing military affairs with the Third Miss. Seeing her expression, he immediately knew that the matter was of great importance: "Speak."
"More secret letters were found in the base of that mysterious organization in the Western Regions," the niece said, lowering her voice. "They involve some important officials in the court."
The three of them looked at each other: Although the Grand Master and the mysterious organization have been destroyed, the secret agents they planted are still continuing to play a role.
"Investigate!" Mo Yunchen said coldly, "Find out all these people for me!"
Soon, the first list was delivered to the Crown Prince. After reading the list, the Third Miss gasped: Among these people, there are actually several important ministers in the court!
"Your Highness," the Third Miss analyzed, "these people are in critical positions. If we act rashly..."
"I understand," Mo Yunchen nodded, "so we need to plan carefully."
As he was speaking, his cousin came hurriedly and said, "When checking the accounts at the Ministry of Revenue, we found some suspicious records."
Those funds were hidden in normal expenditures, seemingly used for various official business, but in reality they went to some suspicious businesses. These businesses all had close ties with the Western Regions.
"Interesting," the Third Miss sneered, "It seems the mysterious organization has already been preparing a retreat."
"That's not all," my cousin added. "These businesses have been making big moves lately. They're stockpiling food and supplies, as if they're preparing for something."
A cold light flashed in Mo Yunchen's eyes: "Prepare for battle?"
The three of them quickly figured out the connection: those hidden agents were preparing for a future counterattack. Once the time was right, they would launch a rebellion.
"We can't wait any longer," said the Third Miss. "We need to deal with these hidden dangers as soon as possible."
"That's right," Mo Yunchen nodded, "but it needs to be more subtle."
So a plan was put into action. The imperial court would first secretly investigate the details of these businesses, then seize the opportunity to purchase their stockpiled supplies. By the time they realized what was happening, the most important food supplies had already fallen into the imperial court's hands.
"The first step is complete," said the Third Miss, "the next step is to deal with those hidden agents..."
"Let them wait for a while," Mo Yunchen sneered, "I want to see how long they can keep jumping around."
At this moment, urgent news came from outside: a large number of caravans were discovered on the border of the Western Regions!
"Caravan?" Miss San frowned. "At this time..."
"Go check it out." Mo Yunchen immediately ordered.
Soon, the truth came to light: these caravans were ostensibly engaged in trade, but in reality they were smuggling arms, and judging by their routes, they were heading for those secret agents.
"How dare you!" Mo Yunchen said angrily, "How dare you transport military equipment so brazenly."
"But this gives us an opportunity," the Third Miss analyzed. "We can follow the clues and uncover the remaining hidden culprits."
Indeed, instead of taking direct action, it would be better to have these weapons delivered to their destination. That way, we would know who the real contact person is.
The plan was put into action. The imperial court secretly followed these caravans and soon discovered more clues: in addition to the known hidden agents, some new figures also surfaced.
"These people..." Miss San looked at the new list, "It seems they are ready to go all out."
"It doesn't matter," Mo Yunchen sneered, "Since they want to play, I will play with them to the end."
At this time, there was another new discovery: when searching a business, a secret letter was found. The letter mentioned that someone was going to start a riot in the near future!
"Go!" Mo Yunchen ordered immediately, "Don't let any one go!"
The officers and soldiers who had been prepared for this operation immediately took action, and before the secret agents could even react, they were all captured. During interrogation, they revealed more details: it turned out that this operation was a large-scale rebellion plan.
"These people," the third young lady sneered at the confession, "are really not crying until they see the coffin."
"But that's fine," Mo Yunchen said, "It's a good opportunity to clean it up all at once."
This operation killed two birds with one stone: not only did they capture the spy, but they also seized a large amount of weapons. Those who had been waiting and watching were now obedient.
"It's finally over," the third young lady breathed a sigh of relief. "This was really thrilling."
"It's not over yet," Mo Yunchen said, "I always feel like there's something I haven't discovered yet."
"Your Highness is saying..."
"Since these people dared to launch a rebellion, they must have a backup plan. Perhaps the biggest secret is hidden somewhere..."
This suspicion was soon confirmed: during the interrogation of an important undercover agent, he revealed a shocking secret: it turned out that there was a secret base hidden near the capital!
"Let's go!" Mo Yunchen immediately stood up, "Let's go see what this place is."
When they arrived at the base, they found it deserted. However, during the search, they still found some important clues.
"These documents..." Miss San flipped through them, "seem to be some kind of plan."
A closer look stunned everyone: This wasn't just any ordinary plan; it was a complete rebellion plan! From military deployment to logistical support, from internal and external coordination to the retreat route, every step was clearly laid out.
"These people," Mo Yunchen sneered, "are quite calculating."
"But now it's all good," said the Third Miss. "With this evidence, they can't escape."
Indeed, with the release of this plan, the last bit of suspense disappeared, and those who were still waiting for the opportunity finally gave up hope.
"Let them be locked up first," Mo Yunchen said, "and I will interrogate them slowly."
In the following days, the imperial court began a new round of investigations. Officials who had secretly colluded were exposed one by one, and the court was completely transformed.
"This is the beginning of a prosperous era," the Third Miss sighed. "Only by eradicating these cancers can the world be at peace."
Mo Yunchen looked at her: "You think far ahead."
"Isn't this just to help His Highness relieve his worries?" The Third Miss winked mischievously. "Besides, these are what I should do."
"You..." Mo Yunchen looked at her lovingly, "you only know how to talk smoothly."
"That's because..." The Third Miss leaned closer, "Your Highness is worthy of this from me."
Looking at the two flirting with each other, the niece and cousin laughed secretly: This is happiness.
After this turmoil, the imperial court took on a completely new look. The cancer that had been hiding in the shadows was eliminated, and a new atmosphere began to emerge.
And this is exactly the future they are looking forward to.
"By the way," Mo Yunchen suddenly said, "I have a new idea for your new formation."
"What idea?" The third young lady immediately became excited.
And so, the two began to discuss military affairs again. To others, such a conversation might be boring, but for them, it was the most relaxing moment.
Because at this time, they are not only the ruler and his subject, but also husband and wife, and even more so, like-minded partners. This kind of tacit understanding is incomparable to any sweet words.
"It's getting late," Mo Yunchen looked at the sky, "time to go to bed."
"I'll stay with you for a while longer," the Third Miss said coquettishly, "I don't have to attend the morning court tomorrow anyway."
Mo Yunchen looked at her lovingly: "When did you become so clingy?"
"This is not..." The third lady said with a smile, "I want to talk more with His Highness."
The two smiled at each other, seeing happiness in each other's eyes. After so many ups and downs, their feelings became even deeper.
Because they know that no matter what difficulties they encounter, as long as the two of them work together, they will be able to overcome them.
