Chapter 169   – Eating tender grass since ancient times

Mo Long gazed at the man in black suspiciously, his eyes falling on him.

Could it be that he had a secret decree on him? Without time to think, Mo Li smashed the dagger hilt fiercely against the masked man’s neck. Instantly, the masked man’s eyes rolled back, and he was knocked unconscious.

Yue’er stared at Mo Liu blankly, watching Mo Xie remove the white silk covering the masked man’s body, and then took out a letter from his arms.

Mo Xie stared at the contents of the letter, his expression turning cold.

Indeed, it was as she had guessed, the one who wanted her life was Mu Ziyan.

How did she know that she had been summoned to the palace today?

Could Mu Ziyan have planted someone in this Chang Ning Palace? Or had she planted someone in the Jing King Manor?

Why did she have to be so determined to take her life? Mo Li couldn’t remember when he committed the crime she, Mu Ziyan, committed.

If the matter between her and Helian Yi made Mu Ziyan hate her, then the crime wouldn’t be death. Why would she kill her?

Mo Xie was too lazy to ponder over these things, she turned to look at the fainted man on the bed, and started pacing back and forth by the bed. After a long while, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and her eyes lit up, as she said to Yue Er.

“Yue’er, where is Senior Qin now?”

Yue’er didn’t know why Mo Xie suddenly mentioned Senior Servant Qin, but she didn’t dare to ask any further. Thinking about how Senior Servant Qin had been caned twenty times during the day, she replied, “Senior Servant Qin had been punished by the punishment and is now lying in her room. She might have already fallen asleep.”

The corner of Mo Li’s mouth slightly curled up as she listened to Yue’er’s words. As long as this man was sent to Senior Servant Qin’s residence, she would be punished with the crime of adultery. Not only would Wei Changning be able to target Mu Ziyan, she would also lose one of her trusted aides. She could just sit back and watch from the sidelines. For her to kill two birds with one stone was a good thing. If she, Mo Li, did not add fuel to the fire, she would not be able to explain herself.On the morning of the next day, Chang Ning Palace was in a state of chaos.

The door of the room was constantly being knocked. Yue’er was lying on the table, and after hearing a series of knocks on the door, she walked outside with a displeased look on her face.

The moment she opened the door, Yue Er, who was still in a hazy state, only heard the voice of a young maid calling out:

“Is the wangfei awake?”

Before Yue’er could reply, Mo Li’s voice was heard.

“What’s all the fuss about?”

The maidservant hurriedly returned.

“Esteemed wangfei, something bad has happened. I heard that Qin mama and someone else were caught secretly. That person has been recruited. It’s one of your men.” The empress ordered a servant to call you over. ”

After hearing what the servant had said, the corners of Mo Xiang’s mouth curled up, it was truly interesting, the masked man actually dared to bite her, although he had thought it would be like this, but if he really did give her up, it would still shock Mo Xiang. After all, he was just a mute!

Seeing that the maidservants were still waiting outside, Mo Xie stood up and washed his face and rinsed his mouth. After tidying up his clothes, he brought Yue Er along with him and left.

At this time, inside the imperial study, Helian Yu Chen was sitting in front of Helian Honglie.

Helian Honglie glanced at him with disdain, and asked coldly:

“Why did you think of me?”

Helian Yu Chen raised his eyes. A peculiar light flashed through his eyes before he suddenly laughed and said:

“What my royal brother said made my younger brother miss him a lot. Why is it that his journey is so far? I can’t be bothered to go out.”

When Helian Honglie heard this, his face turned slightly angry. “Then why have you come back?!”

“Chendi said he misses you. Hehe, royal brother, don’t always keep a straight face. Come, be like your servant and laugh! ”

After saying that, Helian Yu Chen revealed a charming smile towards Helian Honglie.

However, the more Helian Honglie looked at him, the angrier he got. Ever since he was rescued from a serious injury on the battlefield, not only did his personality greatly change, even his skills became a lot stronger than before.

What made Helian Honglie even more jealous was that Helian Yu Chen’s appearance hadn’t changed much in the past twenty years. However, he had already aged. The wrinkles on his face was the best proof of this.Looking coldly at Helian Yu Chen, Helian Honglie reminded him, “Don’t make fun of me! Say it, what are you going to do after returning to the palace? ”

Helian Yu Chen was startled for a moment. He put away his expression and replied seriously:

“I heard that Wings’ heart is cold. After all, this kid is only half a disciple, so he wanted to come back and take a look.”

“Did you see him?”

Helian Yu Chen nodded, “Yes, I saw it. It was in good spirits and looked a bit worse. “Chendi prescribed some medicine for him, and he’ll recover in a few days.”

Helian Honglie cast a sidelong glance at Helian Yu Chen. This second son of his was the most unfathomable. He had always feared Helian Yi far more than his favor.

He had originally wanted to take advantage of Helian Yi’s illness to seize the military power in his hands, but who knew that his men would say that Helian Yi had always been at home, and that he did not seem to have suffered from the cold.

So now, he didn’t dare to act rashly, so he couldn’t guess what his son was going to do.

Since Helian Yu Chen had said so, it seemed that Yi’er had truly provoked a cold.

Coming back to his senses, Helian Honglie said to Helian Yu Chen, “Since you’ve come back, you should stay in the palace for a few more days.”

“That’s fine too. I originally wanted to return home today, but since royal brother can’t bear to see me, then I will stay in the palace with you for a few more days.”

When Helian Honglie heard Helian Yu Chen’s words, he gave him a cold look and warned him to leave.

Helian Yu Chen was too lazy to bother with this royal brother who had a straight face. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a charming smile. He then turned around and left.

He still had to find Mo Xie, that little girl, and he didn’t have time to chat with this royal brother who had been sealed in ice for a thousand years. Leaving the royal study, Helian Yu Chen couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Ah, the Modern World is the best. The palace has too many rules. If it wasn’t for this identity, Helian Yu Chen would have died ten thousand times over already.

He lifted his head and looked at the rising sun with an unbridled smile on his face.

While he was lost in thought, nearby, the maidservants were whispering to each other.

“Have you heard? Something’s happened at Chang Ning Palace. ”

“That’s right, that’s right. I’ve heard that Princess Jing actually seduced the empress because she was planted in the empress’s Chang Ning palace …”magic

Helian Yu Chen’s ears were sharp. After hearing the maidservants’ words, he disappeared in a flash.

At Chang Ning Palace, Mo Xie was standing in front of Wei Changning with her eyes wide open. By her side were the half-dead Qin mama who had been beaten to death and the masked man whom she had captured last night.

When the masked man saw Mo Xie staring at him with his eyes wide open, he could not help but shrink back.

Wei Changning sat in the seat of honor with a cup of warm tea in her hand. The air above the cup was still steaming. She tasted it and looked up, her gaze landing on Senior Servant Qin. “Speak!” What exactly is your relationship!? ”

Qin mama kept sobbing and shaking her head. “Empress, you have to believe this old servant. This old servant doesn’t recognize this man!” “You see, this old servant is already this old, how could he do such a thing?”

Mo Long laughed. He glanced at Senior Servant Qin and said coldly, “What Senior Servant Qin has said is true. Since ancient times, cattle have eaten tender grass! Not to mention that Qin mama’s looks aren’t bad either. It’s understandable that she would seduce a man. “
