Chapter 157 – Rules for Entering the Palace

The guard took the jade pendant and ordered her to wait outside the mansion. After a long while, the guards from the jade pendant walked out.

“Does the prince want to see me?”

The guard sized up the mama from top to bottom and coldly said:

“His Royal Highness has fallen asleep! Please go back! ”

The mama was stunned for a moment, then hesitated. How was he going to explain this to the Empress when he returned?

She waited outside King Jing’s mansion for more than two hours, but the guards did not let her in. Helpless, he could only return to report.

As she was leaving, she thought of the jade pendant the Empress had given her. The mama walked up and asked,

“Erm, where is the jade pendant that I gave you earlier?” Can you give it back to me? ”

The guard looked at the mama and took out the jade pendant from his bosom. He gave the mama a reluctant look, then glared at her and threw the jade pendant into her hands. The mama looked at the jade pendant and nodded in thanks, then quickly disappeared from Jing King Manor.

Within the Xiao manor of the Tong Li Country, Xiao Ruojun was sitting with Lily in the garden, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the fine wine.

Seeing the lily’s elegant and charming movements, Xiao Ruojun’s gaze followed closely the lily’s slender fingers.

Seeing Xiao Ruojun’s dazed look, Lily couldn’t help but let out a sneer.

“What is King Xiao doing?” Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something shameful on my face? ”

Xiao Ruojun heard Lily’s teasing and came back to her senses saying, “Xiang Fei is serious. How could a devastatingly beautiful woman like Xiang Fei be shameful in front of so many people? ”

Lily placed the wine cup in her hand on the table and looked at Xiao Ruojun with a meaningful gaze as she asked:

“King Xiao’s letter said that Helian Yi had caught a cold and that he had never left King Jing’s Manor. Is the news reliable?”

The corner of Xiao Ruojun’s mouth slightly curled up.

“Why would This King give Consort Xiang false information?” I wonder what Xiang Fei plans to do next? ”

Lily stared at the empty wine cup in front of her and was stunned for a moment. Her pair of deep eyes looked at Xiao Ruojun and softly replied:

“If this is true, then Helian Yi is not as simple as having caught a cold. Since he can’t even get out of King’s Manor, he naturally can’t care about the matters of the Li Kingdom!”

Xiao Ruojun raised his gaze and stared at Baihe, “What do you mean?”

“Take this opportunity to make the emperor shut his eyes forever!”

Hearing Lily’s words, Xiao Ruojun’s body violently trembled. He had thought about this matter countless times before, but he naturally didn’t dare to kill his father.

Now, upon hearing Lily’s meticulous plans, he suddenly felt that his royal father was just a stepping stone for him to become the Emperor of the State of Tong Li.

Either step on him to ascend, or drag him down from his position.

Xiao Ruojun returned to his senses and asked Baihe, “But Imperial Father’s body has always been strong and strong. The few people around him aren’t ordinary people either. “I’m afraid it’ll be hard to get close.”

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something. Xiao Ruojun raised her eyes and looked towards Baihe.

“Could it be that you …”

Upon seeing this, Lily interrupted Xiao Ruojun’s words, “It’s exactly as you think! It would be even more difficult to assassinate the emperor at close range. However, if I serve the emperor and the emperor’s body is getting weaker and weaker from the effort he’s expended every day … Wouldn’t that be better? Who would have thought that the Emperor would be poisoned? ”

Lily lowered her eyes and stared at her fingernails. After a pause, she proudly said, “Helian Yi, you definitely won’t think of using the thing you gave me to deal with you!”

When she thought about how Xiao Ruojun would become the king of the State of Tong Li and ruin Helian Yi’s plan, Lily’s heart tightened with joy.

When Xiao Ruojun saw Lily’s confident expression, her deep eyes looked straight at her fair face.

If he really became the Emperor of the Li Kingdom in the future, he would definitely have a taste of this woman’s beauty.

In the royal palace of Ming You Country, when the mama told Mu Ziyan about what she had seen and heard today, Mu Ziyan was filled with rage. She took the jade pendant and held it tightly in her hand, gritting her teeth as she murmured, “Mo Xie! “You’re going too far!”

The mama was so frightened that she stood to the side, not daring to say a word. Afraid that she would be careless, the Empress blamed her.

In Chang Ning Palace, Wei Changning initially wanted to take a break, but she received a secret report that King Xiang was having a good time drinking wine in Spill Fragrance Garden.

He was not angry at heart and asked about the reason. When he found out that Prince Xiang had been schemed against by Mo Long, that he had an affair with the daughter of Grand Tutor Fu, and that they were wed to the treasured Fu Yifan of the Residence of Grand Tutor Fu, he found it unbearable.

Why were her men so fickle! Helian Yi was like this! It was the same with Helian Yu!

He coldly ordered the maidservant, “Go to the Jing King Manor and pass on my orders. Your fate is for the royal consort to enter the palace one day!”

If she did not teach Mo Xie a lesson, it would be hard to quell the hatred in her heart!

At this moment, Mo Xie had already changed into a man’s outfit, and brought Yue’er to the pavilion. She looked at the woman who was waving to her, her red lips curled up, and with the fan in her hand, she walked in with large strides.

She took a seat in the lobby on the first floor and ordered a pot of good tea and a plate of good beef.

Seeing Yue’er standing there in a daze, Mo Xie reminded her, “Yue Er, don’t stand there. Sit down!”

Yue’er was startled for a moment. She wanted to reject him, but she had no choice but to obey her master’s words. He had no choice but to sit by Mo Long’s side, somewhat restrained as he sipped his tea.

Manager Tong, who was rushing about, noticed Mo Wuji sitting down in a corner of the hall and drinking tea. He hurriedly ran over and asked Mo Li about the situation.

As far as he was concerned, Mo Xiang was their guest, so naturally, he was also their guest.

Ever since Mo Xie started his “Do Not Disturb” business, the business of Qingqing Pavilion had also risen, and it had almost become a few times more profitable than before.

They naturally had to give up such a treasure to the naked eye!

He walked to the front of Mo Liao and smiled, “Young Master Mo, it’s too noisy here. Why don’t you follow me up to the third floor? I’ve arranged a private room for you.”

Mo Long heard the words of Manager Tong, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. This Manager Tong was a businessman and had good eyes.

However, she still needed the location of the four great hall masters to come out, so where would she have the time to rest on the third floor?

He tactfully refused Manager Tong and ate some food with Yue’er. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a soft objective discussion from the table next door.

“This Prince Xiang really has quite the ‘luck with women’. Who would’ve thought that he’d have an engagement with the daughter of Grand Preceptor Fu!” “Hahaha!”

“Yeah, when I was with the Ninth Miss of the General’s House, I still felt that a woman like Miss Mo was not worthy to be King Xiang. Now that I think about it, this Miss Fu is inferior to Mo Jiu! ”

“You don’t know, but because of this, King Xiang has already been in the Spill Garden for an entire four hours.” I heard that seven or eight girls were … Sigh! What kind of a blow did this King Xiang suffer to cause him to be like this?! ”

“Don’t say anymore, if we were to be pierced by the Xiang King because of the overpopulation, who knows what sort of suffering we would suffer.”

Mo Long listened attentively to the words of the people at the table. He forced a smile as he looked at Yue Er, signaling her to settle the bill and leave.
