I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 72 Marriage
Yan Chengtian is dead.

The Great Yan Imperial City fell into the hands of Lord Mo.

Once this news came out, it quickly caused a huge sensation throughout the Great Yan Dynasty.

Other forces that wanted to send troops to support the Great Yan Imperial City all retreated.

Now that the matter is done, nothing they do will help. Besides, they have no confidence in snatching the person away from Lord Mo.

After Lord Mo completely suppressed the chaos in the imperial city, he asked Lai Yang to return to Beijiang City to escort Yan Chengyun and Mo Ruyan into the imperial city.

As for Beijiang City, he has sent other people to take charge of management and guarding the border.

Lord Mo buried Yan Chengtian's body with great honor, and he also did what he promised him.

On the seventh day after Yan Chengtian's death, Lord Mo followed the advice of his ministers and ascended the throne to become emperor.

A month later, Yan Chengyun and Mo Ruyan entered the imperial city under Lai Yang's escort.

Lord Mo and his family reunited in the palace, hugging each other and crying.

When Mo Ruyan saw Mo Shenjun's hair, she was immediately shocked and couldn't help but say, "Dad, your hair..."

"It's okay, Ruyan, you will live in the East Palace from now on." Lord Mo waved his hand, seeming to be indifferent.

"Eastern Palace? Isn't the Eastern Palace where the prince lives?" Mo Ruyan was surprised.

Dad let her live in the Eastern Palace, is he going to make her the crown prince?!
"What? Are you unhappy?" Lord Mo looked at Mo Ruyan.

"not me…"

"Then it's settled."

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet."

"My mind has been made."

Mo Ruyan was speechless and didn't give her any chance to speak at all!

"Dad, I don't want to be the crown prince." Mo Ruyan said stubbornly.

"Really? Are you sure you don't want to be the crown prince? Don't regret it."

"Humph, I don't regret it."

Mo Ruyan doesn't want to be the crown prince, she wants to be with Lai Yang.

Lord Mo sighed with regret and shook his head, saying, "Alas, what a pity! I had wanted to grant you a marriage with Lai Yang and hold a grand wedding for you, but it seems I can only think about it carefully again."

Hearing this, Mo Ruyan was shocked and asked quickly: "What? Dad, are you telling the truth? Did Lai Yang agree?"

Lord Mo nodded slightly.

The night before Lai Yang left the imperial city to meet Yan Chengyun and Mo Ruyan.

Lord Mo took the initiative to find him and said something to him -

"Xiao Yang, I think you already know that Uncle Mo doesn't have much time left."

"Ruyan has feelings for you. Uncle Mo hopes that after I die, you can take good care of them and their daughter for me."

"When you bring them to the Imperial City, I will arrange a marriage for you. The future of Great Yan will depend on you to protect it."

Of course, Lord Mo had given it careful consideration before letting Mo Ruyan take over the Eastern Palace.

To be honest, if it weren't for the possibility that the dragon evil in his body could erupt at any time, he would not be in a hurry to decide on the candidate for the crown prince.

He is still young and is fully capable of having several princes with Yan Chengyun.

But considering the relationship between Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang, her position will be most stable only if Mo Ruyan becomes the next crown prince.

If it were someone else, even if he and Yan Chengyun gave birth to a prince, they might not be able to keep the throne.

Besides, it takes time for the prince to grow up. If Mo Ruyan is willing before that.

With Lai Yang as her backer, who can compete with her?
Furthermore, although Mo Ruyan does not have a good talent for martial arts, she is very smart.

During the two years when he started his rebellion, almost nothing happened in Beijiang City, and she managed it very well both inside and outside, which shows how talented she is.

Instead of going to great lengths to guard against his own family, it would be better to just let her become the next empress and use Lai Yang's power to consolidate the Mo family's throne.

In this way, the kingdom they had fought so hard to conquer could be better continued.

"Dad, thank you, you are so good to your daughter." Mo Ruyan's face changed and she pulled Mo Shenjun's arm and acted coquettishly.

"So the position of crown prince..." Lord Mo raised his eyebrows.

"How can a daughter not listen to father? Father wants me to be the crown prince, so I will be the crown prince." Mo Ruyan responded obediently.

Seeing this, Lord Mo's eyes showed a hint of doting, but also a hint of worry, and he said softly: "You, love between men and women is not a bad thing, but you should not indulge in it too much. Dad sees that Xiao Yang is not an ordinary person, so perhaps... it will be difficult for the two of you to have a happy ending."

Mo Ruyan's face changed slightly, and she immediately showed an angry expression. She said, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you curse your own daughter like that? If you do this again, I will ignore you, hum!" "Okay, okay, Dad won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."

Lord Mo smiled bitterly and finally stopped talking.

When he heard that Lai Yang had killed Chi Mochuan, he understood that Lai Yang was not from the same world as them.

Humans and demons have different paths, and immortals and mortals are different.

No one can change the destined ending.

But even though they already know the ending, countless people still can't help but rush into the fire, even if it means destruction.

At the subsequent court meeting, Lord Mo issued an edict to confer Lai Yang the title of King of the Same Character, and ordered Mo Ruyan to be the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and the next heir to the dynasty. At the same time, he issued an edict to grant a marriage between Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan.

These three events were like depth bombs that caused a huge uproar in the imperial city.

However, after learning about Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan's relationship, the voices of opposition soon disappeared completely.

A few days later, Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan got married.

Every household on the street hung festive red lanterns, the streets were decorated with red for ten miles, beautiful petals fell from the sky, and people stood on both sides.

Along the way, firecrackers were set off and music was played, making the place very lively.

Mo Ruyan was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red robe, sitting upright in the bridal sedan, her pretty face slightly flushed, her mood was complicated, but more of a feeling of excitement, happiness and sweetness.

Lord Mo was very pleased and took this opportunity to declare a general amnesty, thus pardoning many people from death.

The court still needs manpower for its stable development. As long as they have not committed unforgivable crimes, they can be spared from death.

This move, combining kindness and severity, made countless people grateful to Lord Mo and swear allegiance to him.

Most people actually don’t want war to happen. What they want more is a stable and peaceful life.

But the people above gave the orders, and they had to obey them.

Also, to protect my country and my wife and children.

The palace is side by side.

Lord Mo and Yan Chengyun sat in the main seats, and the palace was filled with aristocratic families and court officials.

The carriages blocked the road, and the dazzling array of rare treasures, silver and calligraphy and paintings almost filled Lai Yang's yard.

After worshiping heaven and earth.

Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan served tea to Mo Shenjun and Yan Chengyun.

Afterwards, Mo Ruyan was helped into the bridal chamber by her personal maid Qing'er, waiting for Lai Yang.

And Lai Yang still needs to greet guests in front.

Many people came forward to flatter and curry favor with him, hoping to take this opportunity to get closer to this king who was on par with them.

Lai Yang was not ignorant of the ways of the world. Besides, as the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. He immediately started chatting with everyone.

When it was getting dark, everyone was still enjoying the banquet, and Lai Yang stood up to say goodbye.

The maid Qing'er was guarding the bridal chamber. Seeing Lai Yang approach, she immediately perked up and respectfully called out, "Sir!"

Hearing this, Mo Ruyan in the room felt a tremor in her heart. She quickly adjusted her posture and sat upright, appearing very nervous.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. You can leave first. I'm here." Lai Yang said lightly.

"Yes." Qing'er nodded and quickly left the place.

Lai Yang pushed the door open and walked in, then closed it behind him.

Lai Yang looked at the beauty sitting on the bed. He stepped forward and lifted Mo Ruyan's veil. He happened to meet her beautiful eyes that were as gentle as water, and his heart was pounding.

"Ruyan." Lai Yang called softly.

Mo Ruyan's pretty face flushed an intoxicating red. Her soft and gentle voice carried a hint of nervousness and anticipation as she whispered softly, "You and I are already husband and wife. Tonight, you won't reject me again, right?"

Lai Yang did not reply, but silently lowered his head and kissed the tender red lips, then hugged Mo Ruyan's soft and boneless body.

The two of them slowly lay down.
