And the most important thing is that he actually forgot one of his important duties as emperor: the morning court!
Since he came to the throne, he has been diligent every day, doing everything personally, and has never missed the morning.
Even when he was pretending to be an assassin and following her as a personal bodyguard, he didn't waste a single day.
But today, he actually forgot all about it.
But he couldn't care less, nothing was more important to him than her now!
A look of perseverance flashed across Mo Chuan's brows. He hugged her tightly, started Qinggong, and flew towards the imperial city.

At the same time, Queen Mother Zhou of Shougong Palace had received the message and looked very angry.
"What are you talking about? The emperor didn't go to court early? Where is he now? Call him to the Ai family!"
She was always calm and composed, but she raised her hand and smashed her most beloved teacup.
"The Queen Mother, please calm down. The Emperor is not in the palace now. I have sent people to look for the Emperor. I will report to the Queen Mother as soon as there is news."
Sujin replied cautiously.
"Go to the eldest princess's mansion!" Empress Dowager Zhou spoke again, her voice cold and stern.
"The Emperor is not at the eldest princess's residence either..." Su Jin hesitated to speak.
"Not there? Impossible!" Queen Mother Zhou sat on the couch panting. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She slammed the table hard and shouted: "Go to the eldest princess's mansion and announce that Princess Dingyuan has entered the palace!"
Su Jin shook her head and said, "I have already sent someone to look for her, and the princess is not in the house either."
Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Zhou's face suddenly turned livid, and her hands could not stop trembling.
Could it be possible that the emperor eloped with the girl named Shen
impossible!
She had watched the emperor grow up, and she had worked hard to cultivate him. He shouldered the important responsibility and lifeblood of the entire Western Chu Kingdom. It was absolutely impossible for him to do such a treasonous and ignorant thing!
but…
Empress Dowager Zhou pondered, her two thin eyebrows wrinkled.
No matter how rational and calm the emperor is, he is still a young man in his twenties who is in full bloom and in love. How could he withstand the temptation of such a charming woman
What if the two of them do something out of control in the heat of the moment
Even if the two of them hadn't eloped, if they didn't return home that night and the emperor had forgotten even the morning court meeting, what good things could have been done!
Now she suddenly regretted why she didn't get rid of the girl earlier because of her soft heart, which resulted in such irreparable consequences.
"Then Princess Xuan'anle will come to the palace immediately to see the Ai family. People are missing from her house. The Ai family will only ask her for people! If this girl hadn't been so troublesome, the girl named Shen would have returned to Dingyuan long ago. How can the palace give the emperor an opportunity to take advantage of this! The Ai family must teach this girl a lesson!"
Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry that she immediately turned her anger on Princess Anle.
"The Empress Dowager, I have something to say, should I say it or not?" Su Jin observed the expression on Empress Dowager Zhou's face. Although she was afraid, she still said boldly.
"What are you talking about? If you hadn't protected the girl named Shen over and over again and said good things to her, how would the Ai family have kept her today! Sujin, you are becoming more and more courageous!"
In anger, Empress Dowager Zhou even attacked Su Jin. She raised her hand and swept all the teacups and bowls on the table to the ground.
"The Queen Mother is angry, it's my slave's fault. If you are angry, just beat and scold me, but don't let your anger break your body."
Sujin's face turned pale and she knelt on the ground with a plop.
