199。 Little Treasure's Pet Name and Birth

In no time, Yao Ji was brought in by the guards outside. Upon seeing the thin and pale woman before her, Ye Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The Yao Ji now standing before her seemed like an entirely different person from the one who had been full of sorrow yet stubborn a year ago, radiating with vitality. Her originally delicate features and snow-white skin appeared emaciated and sallow due to prolonged neglect and malnutrition, barely hinting at her past beauty. Her lustrous hair was loosely tied back with a cloth, hanging dryly behind her shoulders. Yao Ji held a swaddled child in her arms; from the looks of it, she had taken good care of him, who seemed to be about five or six months old.

Ye Li waved dismissively for Qin Feng to leave, and he hesitated slightly before doing so with a slight frown. Although they had already ascertained all details regarding Yao Ji's situation, the current moment was crucial for the Queen Consort; not even the slightest mistake could be made. Realizing this, Qin Feng regretted interrupting the Queen Consort with such matters at that time. He only thought it necessary to report back to her after rescuing and bringing Yao Ji back on his own initiative but forgot that she was due any day now. Her pregnancy couldn't afford any mishaps. Seeing Qin Feng's indecision, Ye Li smiled gently and said, "You go out first; I'll have a chat with Miss Yao Ji."

Qin Feng had no choice but to step outside and wait. Smiling apologetically at Yao Ji, Ye Li said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Yao Ji shook her head and smiled faintly, "It's admirable how Chancellor Qin is devoted to the Queen Consort; I can only feel envious."

Ye Li looked at the child in Yao Ji’s arms. Yao Ji occasionally lowered her head and gently rocked him, her ill appearance notwithstanding, a tender expression full of affection lighting up her face. "This little one…" Yao Ji clutched the baby tightly to herself and softly said, "He's almost half a year old now; his name is Shen Jing'an. What do you think about my choice" Ye Li nodded and replied, "So this child carries your surname" She recalled that Yao Ji had once mentioned she originally bore the surname Shen and was named Shen Yao.

Seemingly recalling something, Yao Ji silently nodded in agreement.

Gazing at the once incomparably beautiful woman now reduced to such a state, Ye Li felt nothing but sorrow. "I remember when you left the capital city that you had quite some money with you. How did things come to this" The secret sale of Qingshan Street to Ye Li had provided her with more than enough funds for Yao Ji and her child to live a life of luxury for the rest of their days. Smiling bitterly, Yao Ji gently stroked her sleeping baby as she said, "Yao Ji was proud that I could match anyone in anything, but leaving Qingshan Street made me realize that I had no other skills besides singing and dancing. Although I detested being a courtesan, it was this identity that allowed me to live freely for many years. Otherwise, I might have been sold back into a noble household as a concubine long ago. I thought that despite my separation from Mu Yang failing to become official spouses, we would at least part amicably, but…"

It turned out that after Yao Ji left the capital city with a three-month pregnancy, she had found an isolated place nearby and stayed there awaiting her child's birth before continuing on. However, the estate where she temporarily resided was owned by Mu Yang Hou’s mother-in-law's family. A manager recognized Yao Ji’s identity and reported it to his mistress. At that time, Yao Ji was already six months pregnant while Mu Yang had been away at war with Ye Li in the northwest. Although Mu Yang Hou's wife despised Yao Ji's status as a courtesan, she feared her son might suffer any harm during the perilous battles in the northwest and thus merely instructed her family to keep Yao Ji under supervision rather than harming her child. Being intelligent, Yao Ji could easily deduce that regardless of whether or not Mu Yang returned, giving birth would likely be fatal for her. She bribed those watching over her with what little money she had left before attempting an escape which was eventually thwarted and led to the total confiscation of her belongings by Mu Yang Hou’s relatives. When Mu Yang finally arrived back at home after the war, Yao Ji was already about to give birth again.

Later on, due to Mu Yang's persistence, Yao Ji and her child were moved to a secluded villa in Mu Yang Hou’s estate while he married Lady Sun of the Sun family. After several days of recuperation, Yao Ji requested that Mu Yang return all her money before she would leave with her child. However, Mu Yang refused flatly despite his mother-in-law's relatives denying any wrongdoing regarding the seizure of Yao Ji's wealth. Yao Ji was so furious at this injustice that she nearly fainted. She had saved up for years and even sold Qingshan Street; Ye Li ensured that she received fair compensation then too. Besides jewelry, she had over two hundred thousand taels in silver notes alone. To prevent Yao Ji from fleeing with her money, Mu Yang tacitly agreed with his mother-in-law’s side of the story. As a result, Yao Ji was left penniless and unable to bribe anyone to aid her escape.

Yao Ji's stubborn nature often led to arguments whenever Mu Yang visited her secluded villa, which naturally raised suspicions in Lady Sun, his new wife. Consequently, while Mu Yang was sent on official duties at the behest of a disgruntled Mu Yang Hou, Yao Ji and her child nearly starved to death within their residence. When Mu Yang returned from duty, he had another uproar before finally bringing Yao Ji and her child to a small courtyard under his own name. After spending over a month ingratiating herself with him to lower his guard, Yao Ji took advantage of his drunken state one night, escaping westward with her child and some items worth little value. She was unsure whether the man chasing after them trying to snatch the baby boy was sent by Mu Yang or from Mu Yang’s estate.

Seeing Ye Li now heavily pregnant yet still radiant, Yao Ji smiled bitterly. If it were Consort Ding, she would not have been in such a miserable state. During her days of near-starvation in the secluded villa, Yao Ji finally realized that trying to control her own fate alone was futile dreaming. Her past glory and status as the top courtesan were merely appearances, maintained by Mu Yang and Feng San’s covert support. Without them, she was just an insignificant woman struggling through life.

After hearing Yao Ji's story, Ye Li didn’t know whether to sympathize or be angry. After a brief moment of contemplation, she asked, "What do you plan to do next According to your account, all of your money has been seized by Mu Yang Hou’s relatives; I can arrange for someone to retrieve it back for you. What are your future plans" Yao Ji looked down at the baby in her arms and said, “I beg the Queen Consort to find a good family willing to adopt my child. He doesn’t need to be born into wealth and privilege; just that he has both parents and a peaceful home would suffice.”

Ye Li frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why are you doing this If you don't want the child, why did you bring him out in the first place If left with Mu Yang Hou, wouldn’t they have taken good care of him considering your past relationship" Yao Ji smiled bitterly and looked at Ye Li, “I've heard about how cruelly you were treated by your stepmother despite being a daughter of nobility. How much more so would my child be mistreated And besides… having a mother who was once a courtesan isn’t exactly prestigious; I only wish him to live peacefully.”

Ye Li found herself in a dilemma and said after some thought, "I’m not very convenient with matters at the moment. Why don't you stay here in Youyang City for now Consider your future plans carefully before deciding anything else" If Yao Ji insisted on her decision, Ye Li would have someone arrange an adoption for the child.

Yao Ji was overjoyed and said through tears, "Shen Yao thanks Consort." Although she spoke decisively, parting from a baby born after ten months of pregnancy was heartbreaking. Giving her some time to think things over was good; it would allow her more time with the child.

Ye Li ordered Qin Feng to take Yao Ji out and settle her somewhere. As Ye Li pondered over Yao Ji's situation, Mo Xiuyao ambled in. Seeing Ye Li’s frowning brows, he quickly sat beside her to inquire, "What's wrong Are you feeling unwell" Ye Li shook her head and leaned against him while recounting the story of Yao Ji. She sighed at last, saying, “Mu Yang is acting too disgracefully.” Not only towards Yao Ji but also towards Lady Sun who was newly wed. It wouldn’t be surprising if those pursuing Yao Ji were sent by either Mu Yang or Mu Yang’s estate.

Mo Xiuyao frowned upon hearing her concerns about others’ affairs. He stroked Ye Li's protruding belly and said, "Let others handle these petty matters for you. You should think of more important things instead." Smiling up at him, Ye Li asked, “What are you thinking Have you thought of a name for our child” Mo Xiuyao frowned and replied mildly, "Isn't picking a name simple enough You call the baby 'baby' every day; why not just name it 'Ink Baby' then"

Ye Li’s corner of her mouth twitched as she looked at the envious man and said with a smile, "Momo Baby Are you sure about this name Won’t our baby resent us when he grows up" Just thinking of an attractive young or middle-aged man who resembled Mo Xiuyao glaring at such a childish name made one unable to hold back laughter. Mo Xiuyao raised his brow and said, “He dares” Ye Li nodded seriously and replied, "Trust me, he really will dare." Any male would not be able to help but rebel against such a childish name, right Mo Xiuyao snorted coldly and said, "Then let’s call him Momo Xiao." Ye Li rolled her eyes and decided not to continue this discussion. She might lose the argument if he insisted on calling their son names like “Momo Baby” or “Momo Xiao”. After all, she could still name the child before his first birthday. Or she could just let her father-in-law and maternal uncle decide. Ye Li casually changed the topic and asked, "What about the treasure of the previous dynasty Why did you come back so quickly"

Mo Xiuyao said indifferently, "Isn’t this another mischief brought on by Tan Jizhi Does he think that he could escape trouble by giving me trouble" Ye Li was curious and asked, “What did you do” Mo Xiuyao said coolly, “Of course I told His Majesty the emperor his true identity. That way I’ll have done my duty for Chu.” Ye Li raised her brows and said, "Tan Jizhi must already be prepared to expose himself when he left Northwest." Mo Xiuyao sneered coldly, "What if I add in Tan Jizhi’s possession of the Imperial Seal"

“Would anyone believe that he has the Imperial Seal” asked Ye Li.

"Someone will. Later on, send assassins to hunt him down and make them force him to reveal where he hides the Imperial Seal," said Mo Xiuyao calmly. Ye Li smiled in understanding. If even Dingguo王府 was chasing Tan Jizhi for the Imperial Seal, those interested would have to think twice before claiming it. As to who they believed, that remained a matter of opinion.

Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li and lazily nuzzled her shoulder. "You don’t need to worry about these trivial matters now. Just make sure you deliver Momo Baby safely." He needed to get rid of this annoying little ghost so he could have his A’li all to himself.

“Don’t call him Momo Baby. It doesn’t sound good,” protested Ye Li. Mo Xiuyao casually changed the name, "Momo Xiao."

Ye Li rubbed her forehead and sighed at the obstinate man. “Just a nickname.” Mo Xiuyao snorted but didn’t say anything. When his nickname would be more well-known than even his real name, what was the difference between them Thus, the future master of Dingguo王府 who would be famous for his gallant figure and reputation would end up with an irreverent nickname that he could never get rid of.

Qin Feng came back to Chu’s capital this time not only bringing Ye Li’s servants and Secretary General Mo but also the concubine and son of Tan Jizhi, who was deputy commander-in-chief of Imperial Guards. Sch Chengliang, who had been stubbornly refusing to admit anything, crumbled when he saw his beautiful and delicate concubine as well as their two-year-old adorable son. Without even being tortured, he admitted everything.

In the dungeon, Mo Xiuyao was still calmly sitting on a large sofa while coldly watching this family reunion scene unfold in front of him. Feng Zhiyao stood behind him and comforted his crying wife and child. Sch Chengliang stood up and said, "I will tell you everything that Your Highness wants to know but please don’t hurt my wife and son." Mo Xiuyao frowned slightly before nodding. “Alright. I promise not to harm this mother-son pair as long as they tell me what I want to know. I’ll give them a place of safety.”

Sch Chengliang chuckled and said, "With Your Highness’s personal guarantee, I trust you completely. Please ask."

Mo Xiuyao waved his hand for someone to take away the mother-son pair before he asked, “Why did Mo Jingqi make such great efforts to save Su Zui Die” Hearing this question, Sch Chengliang was stunned and even Feng Zhiyao and Qin Feng were taken aback. Looking at Mo Xiuyao, Feng Zhiyao thought silently, "Your Highness, are you really still in love with that woman" Seeing his expression was too obvious, Mo Xiuyao shot him a cold glance from the corner of his eye. Feng Zhiyao felt a chill run down his spine and coughed to recover himself before staring at Sch Chengliang seriously.

Sch Chengliang found this question unexpected and looked at Mo Xiuyao’s calm face for a moment before replying, "The Emperor knew Su Zui Die from their teenage years. When he first ascended the throne, the Emperor asked Minister Su to welcome his daughter into the palace as his empress but was refused."

Mo Xiuyao lifted his eyes and said coolly, “You want to tell me that because of this, the Emperor can’t stop thinking about her so he sent people to save her” Sch Chengliang remained silent. He knew how ridiculous such an explanation would be. Mo Jingqi had been with him since before he was emperor, so Sch Chengliang was aware of his character. No matter how beautiful Su Zui Die might look, she wouldn’t be worth the Emperor making great efforts for just to save her. After pondering this, Sch Chengliang asked, “What would Your Highness like to know”

Mo Xiuyao looked at his long fingers and said, "Such as the relationship between Su Zui Die, His Majesty, and Tan Jizhi."

Sch Chengliang frowned. “Tan Jizhi appeared beside the Emperor ten years ago and was seen by him as a strategist of great talent. As for his connection with Miss Su, I don’t know. But they are acquainted.”

“Tan Jizhi’s real identity is an orphan from the previous dynasty’s royal family. Tell me why Mo Jingqi trusts him so much. You can’t be unaware of this,” said Mo Xiuyao coldly and sternly. Sch Chengliang’s face paled as he stared at Mo Xiuyao in shock, unable to think straight. Mo Xiuyao snorted before barking, “Phoenix Three! Bring that child in here!” Sch Chengliang was shocked and hurriedly said, "No! Your Highness, please don’t hurt the child. I’ll tell you anything." Mo Xiuyao nodded approvingly. "Good. Su Zui Die is with me now. But over these past two months, Tan Jizhi has been killing people while the Emperor wants to save her. When did a woman become so important Would you like to explain that for me"

Sch Chengliang’s face was pale as paper and he looked at the closed door of his cell. His wife and child were outside, and one wrong word would send them to their doom. Sch Chengliang shut his eyes in helplessness before opening his mouth finally. “I don’t know much except that I was ordered by the Emperor to take something from Miss Su and give it to Tan Jizhi.” Mo Xiuyao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What was it"

Sch Chengliang replied, "I’m not sure but… He took it from Dingguo王府. Then Tan Jizhi went alone to Beirong and a month later the previous master of Dingguo王府 and Mo’s army suffered a great defeat in Beirong. So I guess there must be some connection.” After saying this, Sch Chengliang collapsed on the floor as if he had run out of energy. Though not a good person, he wasn’t completely heartless either. Ever since the disaster at Dingguo王府 back then, he’d felt that one day all these matters would come to light again. He never expected to have to wait another ten years.

The cell was silent, with only the occasional crackling of burning firewood heard from a distance. Mo Xiuyao lowered his gaze and leaned against the soft couch, several strands of silver hair hanging by his ears, making it impossible to see the expression on his face. However, Feng Zhirao and Qin Feng standing behind him clearly saw those strands of hair move without any wind, as the overwhelming pressure forced both of them to take a few steps back subconsciously. They simultaneously turned their heads and saw the look of disbelief on each other's faces.

After a long while, when the three people in the cell could hardly breathe, they heard Mo Xiuyao speak coldly: "Continue."

Xue Chengliang had a pale face with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He hadn't expected Duke Ding's cultivation to have reached such an extent that he could force him into internal injuries and cough up blood just by using inner energy over a distance. Shaking his head, Xue Chengliang said: "At that time, I was merely a personal guard beside the Emperor; I didn't know much about what was going on. The reason why His Majesty wanted to save Miss Su is because she had taken two items from Duke Ding's residence but only returned one to him while keeping the other for herself."

"Your Highness…" Feng Zhirao cautiously called out. Mo Xiuyao’s silence was much more terrifying than when he was furious. Although they knew rationally that Mo Xiuyao wouldn't harm them, yet... Feng Zhirao sighed and grasped tightly the slightly trembling fingers in his sleeve.

"Qin Feng, bring Su Zuodie here. I don't care what methods you use or how you do it, but make her spit out the truth today!"

Qin Feng felt a chill run through him as he nodded and said: "I will follow Your Highness's orders." Worryingly furrowing his brows, Feng Zhirao said: "Your Highness, Su Zuodie isn't an ordinary person. What if she…"

"Then let her die!" Mo Xiuyao roared angrily, "If we can’t get the truth out of her, send all the Qilins to capture all of Duke Jingqi’s close associates! I don’t believe there won't be anyone who knows about this matter!"

“I will follow Your Highness's orders,” Qin Feng nodded and turned around, leaving the cell without looking back.

"Your Highness…" Feng Zhirao felt a bitter taste in his throat, unsure of what to say. The information Xue Chengliang had spewed was too shocking. In a moment of dilemma, he heard footsteps outside the door and then Manager Mo’s voice mixed with excitement: “Your Highness! I report that the Duchess is about to give birth!”

Mo Xiuyao was taken aback for a moment before suddenly getting up. Feng Zhirao only saw a white flash in front of his eyes, and Mo Xiuyao had already disappeared from the cell.

Bam!—!

The soft couch that had been intact shattered into pieces instantly, turning into a pile of scrap. Looking at the mess before him and Xue Chengliang who was covered in wood shavings with injuries all over, Feng Zhirao calmly said: "Commander Xue can stay here safely. If Your Highness is in good spirits after the birth of the heir, there might be hope." Xue Chengliang gave a bitter smile as he looked at Feng Zhirao and said: "Thank you for your comfort, Third Young Master Feng. After that incident years ago, I was always on edge, thinking about this day would come. My family is innocent; I only hope Your Highness can give them a way to live."

Feng Zhirao fell silent. The matter Xue Chengliang had revealed was indeed shocking. Without the Duke's personal decision, nobody knew what the outcome would be. Glancing at Xue Chengliang once more, Feng Zhirao turned and stepped out of the cell.

The courtyard in the main residence of the Mo family was filled with people, while Ye Li’s room door remained tightly closed. Servants occasionally brought water in but were quickly ushered out before anyone could take a closer look. Those guarding the door saw a white figure dash over rapidly and reach the door within an instant.

Mo Xiuyao raised his hand to push open the door, but Xu Qingze and Xu Qinfeng each grabbed one of his hands from either side. Mo Xiuyao turned back irritably, though even after two months of training under Qin Feng, Xu Qinfeng had no choice but to release him with a smile: "Liyi is giving birth; Your Highness cannot enter."

Mo Xiuyao frowned and said, “I want to see Liyi.”

Song Yang coldly said, “What’s there to see when a woman gives birth The birthing room isn’t meant for men…” His icy gaze shot at Song Yang like arrows. After holding his ground for a moment, he conceded defeat. Sensing something amiss with the Duke's aura as a medical expert, he paused and said, “It is inauspicious for a man to enter the delivery room.” Mo Xiuyao coldly replied, "I don’t care." Song Yang was silent for a while before finally saying, “The Duchess will likely give birth in about one or two hours. Your Highness can go in now and take a look.” Mo Xiuyao lightly huffed and turned to push the door open and enter.

Outside, Xu Qingyan discontentedly said, "Mr. Song, why is Your Highness allowed to go in but we aren’t"

Shen Yang wiped his forehead in silence and said, "Because if I refuse, Your Highness will kill me immediately." Clearly, life was more important than rules.

The moment Mo Xiuyao stepped into the room, Lady Lin standing by the door was taken aback. She hurriedly asked, "...Why are you here" Before she could finish her sentence, Mo Xiuyao said, "I want to see A Li; I will be out in a while."

After saying that, he walked past Lady Lin and directly entered the inner room. The others were taken aback when they saw Mo Xiuyao. Ye Li was lying on her bed, but she had only just started experiencing contractions and did not seem to be about to give birth immediately. Seeing Mo Xiuyao enter, she smiled faintly and said, "Why are you here" Under the astonished gaze of the midwife, Mo Xiuyao walked over to the bedside and sat down. His face was uneasy and gloomy.

Ye Li smiled and reached out to hold his hand. "Don't worry; I'll be fine." Lowering his head, he saw her slightly furrowed brows. He wiped away the sweat from her forehead with concern and asked softly, "Does it hurt"

Ye Li smiled and said, "It's not too bad. You should go out."

Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said, "I'll stay for a while... A Li, you must take care of yourself."

Ye Li gave an exasperated smile and said, "It’s just childbirth; which woman doesn't have to go through it Everything is fine," Wei Laotai came in with a bowl of chicken soup. Seeing the person sitting at the bedside, she was also taken aback for a moment. Mo Xiuyao turned his head and asked, “What's this”

Wei Laotai replied, "This is a chicken soup that has been stewed for several hours; Lady should eat it to regain some strength." Mo Xiuyao reached out and took the bowl from her. "I'll feed it myself," he said.

Though Wei Laotai was reluctant to agree, seeing the solemn look on Mo Xiuyao's face, she eventually handed over the soup. She watched as Mo Xiuyao carefully fed his mistress the soup with a spoon before discreetly wiping away her tears and quietly stepping back out of the room.

No matter what, the way His Highness treated Lady was far better than how Master had treated Mistress in the past; Miss's choice in men was much better than Mistress’s.

Ye Li drank the chicken soup and let Mo Xiuyao stay to chat for a while. Only then did she push him out of the room. When Mo Xiuyao refused, Ye Li pinched him fiercely and said, "If you're here, I'll be distracted and it will be more dangerous." Mo Xiuyao finally got up. He swept his gaze over the midwives, maids, and nursemaids in the room who were tending to her and sternly warned, "Take good care of Lady; if anything happens to her, you all had better watch your lives!" Seeing Mo Xiuyao leave, Ye Li heaved a frustrated sigh and said to everyone still trembling with fright, "His Highness is very worried. Everyone else, don't be too tense."

Lady Lin carefully wiped Ye Li's forehead sweat and said, "Your Highness cares about Lady; we should be happy for them."

Ye Li gave a faint smile and gently rubbed her abdomen which was in pain again. Mo Xiuyao had been very upset earlier on, perhaps he had really been frightened by it.

The more she thought of it, the more she hoped that Lord Ding would not be as useless as some fathers who fainted outside the delivery room.

After another hour or so, activity began in the delivery room. Those waiting outside listened anxiously to the midwives' voices and Ye Li's groans from inside. Compared to other women's screams during childbirth, Ye Li’s wasn't frightening. But those who were waiting weren’t just Mo Xiuyao; even Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qinzhe had pale faces.

Usually mischievous Xu Qingyan was also silent now. He sat dejectedly next to Shen Yang and Dr Lin, asking every few minutes if Sister Li was okay and when the baby would come out. Shen Yang kicked him away in annoyance, saying, "Some people can't give birth even after seven or eight hours; why are you so anxious with just two" Xu Qingyan's face paled immediately as he squatted by the door without moving.

He was afraid that Sister Li would also be in labor for seven or eight hours. How painful that must be!

Xu Qingfeng tried to ignore the moans coming from inside and smiled stiffly at Mo Xiuyao, who had gone rigid with tension. "I've seen your mother give birth to Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother; there's no danger."

Mo Xiuyao stared unblinkingly at the closed door.

In her previous life, Ye Li recalled that people once discussed whether it was more painful for women to give birth or for men to be shot. Now she thought she knew the answer: if being shot could help speed up childbirth, then she would rather get shot. "Ah..." The midwife next to her said repeatedly, "Lady! Don’t hold back—call out!" Ye Li remained silent. What was there to call out If she used all her strength on screaming and shouting, where would she find the energy for giving birth

And anyway, even if she screamed, it wouldn't change how painful it still was. She could only curse inwardly about how much worse her tolerance of pain had become compared to before.

"It's almost there! It’s coming... Quickly, bring in a basin!" The midwife instructed Ye Li on how to push and called out as she did so. Even though it was August, the room felt stifling hot with all the people around, making her feel suffocated.

After another half an hour or so, outside, the others nearly couldn’t wait when they heard Ye Li’s moan of pain from inside. Mo Xiuyao's body trembled as he was about to rush in; suddenly a cheer came from within, "It's born!" followed by the baby's loud crying.

Dr Lin nodded and said, "From the sound, the child seems healthy." Shen Yang also nodded and said, "Not quite as strong as when His Highness was born, but it'll be fine with some care."

"It’s born..." Xu Qingfeng felt as if he were dreaming. He turned to look at Mo Xiuyao, who had been standing there motionless for a moment and then suddenly lunged forward.

His body swayed unexpectedly and he fell flat on the ground. Everyone was in an uproar; Shen Yang calmly stated, “Your Highness is too nervous. You used all your strength to support yourself with your legs. Of course you’d fall when you relaxed! Rest for a while and everything will be fine. Lady’s side still needs tidying up.”

The others looked at Mo Xiuyao helplessly, thinking that this was surely some kind of revenge.

Mo Xiuyao glared murderously at Shen Yang, who then stood up, brushed off non-existent dust from his sleeves, and strolled away. He had to go check on the young prince's health next.ort over these years. However… Please don’t come to see me after this.""Yao Ji!"But Yao Ji no longer looked at him; she nodded at Ye Li and turned around, walking towards the end of the street step by...
