The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Chapter 141 Demon King Ye Yingshang

At this moment, within the towering, imposing Prime Minister's Mansion, the night was as dark as ink, and all around was hushed and silent. Atop an exquisitely designed pavilion, Ye Yingshang sat quietly. He wore a black brocade robe, his sleeves fluttering gently in the wind, as if blending seamlessly into the night.

In his right hand, he gently grasped an exquisite teacup, the tea still steaming, but he took no sip. His deep, ocean-like eyes gazed into the distance, as if piercing the night's veil, seeing something unreachable to others. What could have caused this usually decisive and ruthless figure to sink into such deep thought? Perhaps it was the turbulent situation at court, or the hidden machinations of the jianghu. Whatever the reason, Ye Yingshang at this moment was as tranquil as the night itself, leaving it difficult to fathom his true thoughts.

Ye Yingshang played with the cup in his hand and muttered to himself, "Yun Mohan, how are you?"

His voice was exceptionally clear in the silent night, yet it carried a hint of indescribable complex emotions. The moonlight shone on his face, highlighting his sharp features, but it couldn't illuminate the haze beneath his eyes.

At this time, on the Regent's side, Yun Mohan followed Xing Xuanli all the time, never leaving her side.

Xing Xuanli asked doubtfully, "Han, aren't you going to court today?"

Yun Mohan said: "With you here, why would I need a court?"

Xing Xuanli pounded his chest coquettishly, "Han, please don't say such ridiculous things. You are the regent, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country. How can you neglect state affairs because of me?"

Yun Mohan grabbed her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, "Li'er, in my heart, nothing in this world is as important as you."

Xing Xuanli said worriedly, "Han, what should I do? Please don't let personal interests override public interests and make people criticize you."

Yun Mohan hugged her tightly in his arms, "Don't worry, I know what to do. But at this moment, I just want to be with you."

Yun Mohan looked into Xing Xuanli's eyes and said, "Li'er, you have really beautiful eyes."

Xing Xuanli smiled slightly and said, "Han! I will take it as a compliment.

Xing Xuanli smiled into a crescent moon and said, "Han! I'll take that as a compliment."

Yun Mohan reached out and gently scratched her nose. "How can this not be a compliment? It's just the truth."

Xing Xuanli rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, "Then I will believe what my husband says."

Yun Mohan held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Li'er, you look like this, and your husband's heart is really moved."

Xing Xuanli's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple. "You always say embarrassing things like that."

Xing Xuanli pushed Yun Mohan and said, "My husband, it's getting late. You should go to court."

Yun Mohan hugged her tightly, looking reluctant, "I really want to stay with you like this forever."

Xing Xuanli chuckled and said, "State affairs are more important. I will wait for my husband to return home."

Yun Mohan sighed helplessly and loosened his arms, "Then I will go."

Xing Xuanli straightened his clothes and said, "Goodbye, my husband."

Yun Mohan looked at her deeply, turned around and strode away. He glanced back reluctantly, and secretly vowed in his heart: "Li'er, I will protect you forever in this life."

In the court, Yun Mohan had a stern expression and handled government affairs decisively and resolutely, but his heart was always concerned about Xing Xuanli in the mansion.

At this time, in the Imperial Palace, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Nanyuan asked: "My dear ministers, do you have any memorials to report?

His Majesty and his ministers looked at each other, no one spoke for a moment. Guo stepped out of the ranks, trembling, and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, I have a plan. Recently, heavy rains have caused disasters in the Jiangnan area, leaving the people homeless. I hope Your Majesty will quickly issue an order for disaster relief."

Emperor Nanyuan frowned slightly. "I am aware of this matter. Minister of Revenue, have you prepared the disaster relief funds?"

The Minister of Revenue hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, preparations are already underway and they will be dispatched to Jiangnan soon."

Emperor Nanyuan nodded, "It must be done as soon as possible, without delay."

At this time, another general stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the situation on the border is tense and the enemy is coming in full force. I beg Your Majesty to send reinforcements."

Emperor Nanyuan looked solemn, "Minister of War, how should this matter be arranged?"

The Minister of War replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Reinforcements are gathering and will be dispatched soon."

Emperor Nanyuan glanced at Yun Mohan and Ye Yingshang and asked, "How about the Regent and Prime Minister Ye discuss this?"

Yun Mohan was thinking about Xing Xuanli at home at this time, wondering if he had eaten on time. Emperor Nanyuan called him several times, but he didn't come back to his senses.

Yun Mohan was sitting on the chair above the Grand Tutor at this time, thinking about Xing Xuanli at home and whether she had eaten on time. Emperor Nanyuan shouted at him several times, but he didn't come back to his senses.

"Regent! Regent!" Emperor Nanyuan's voice rose a few degrees, with obvious dissatisfaction. But he was helpless.

A minister bent down and whispered in Yun Mohan's ear, "Regent, His Majesty has called you several times just now."

Yun Mohan stood up from the armchair and stretched, "What did Your Majesty want to say to me just now?"

Emperor Nanyuan frowned, his face showing annoyance, "Regent, your careless attitude is outrageous! What I just discussed with you is a matter of great importance to the country, and you are so absent-minded.

Yun Mohan looked coldly at Emperor Nanyuan who was sitting on the high seat and sneered: "If it weren't for my wife insisting that I come to this boring morning court, do you think I would want to be here? In the future, don't call me unless there is something important." After that, he strode out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Emperor Nanyuan was so angry at his words that his face turned pale and he slammed the table and stood up: "Nangong Han, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

However, Yun Mohan didn't even look back and walked straight out of the hall.

The ministers in the court were so shocked by this scene that they dared not breathe, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into dead silence.

Ye Yingshang also cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this regent is going too far. He relies on his own great achievements and doesn't take your Majesty seriously."

Emperor Nanyuan's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. "Humph, does Nangong Han really think that the world can't survive without him?"

Ye Yingshang took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, the Regent is so domineering. If this continues, disaster may arise."

Emperor Nanyuan looked at the ministers in the palace and said, "My dear ministers, if you have anything to report, please leave the court." After saying that, he left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The ministers looked at each other and then dispersed.

Ye Yingshang walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and saw Yun Mohan still wandering around the palace. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why hasn't the Regent left yet?"

Yun Mohan glanced at him and snorted coldly: "When is it your turn to ask about my affairs? But why do you, the Demon King of the Demon Realm, appear in the human world?" What is your purpose in coming to the human world?

A playful smile appeared on Ye Yingshang's lips. "If Bei Yu Shenzun can come, why can't I come?"
