Chapter 148 Jealous
After leaving the hall, Shen Yun hurriedly walked up to her and looked her up and down: "Miss, are you okay? Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do anything to you last night?"
At this time, Xiao Mo was immersed in the last words the emperor said to her and didn't listen carefully to Shen Yun's words at all.
Seeing her giggling, Shen Yun became even more worried.
She grabbed Xiao Mo who was walking forward and called her again in a louder voice: "Miss!"
Xiao Mo was brought back to her senses by her shouting, and smiled dully: "What's wrong?"
"Are you still asking me? I should be the one asking you this! What's wrong with you? You're so distracted.
I just saw the guards dragging Lin and the second young lady out. Are you worried about them? "
Xiao Mo smiled and shook her head: "Worrying about what they do is their own fault."
"Then why do you look like you've been bewitched?" Shen Yun stared at her with sharp eyes.
Speaking of this, she smiled again: "Just now, the emperor sent everyone away and left me alone in the hall."
She had barely finished her words when Shen Yun covered her mouth and exclaimed, "The Emperor wouldn't have that kind of thought about you, would he?"
"What are you thinking about! The Emperor is asking me whether I like the Crown Prince or Prince Chen."
Shen Yun paused, her interest rising: "So what's your answer?"
"What do you think? Of course I answered truthfully. Do you want me to marry someone I don't like?"
Xiao Mo couldn't suppress the curve of her lips, and smiled with such smugness.
Shen Yun also laughed happily with her: "The emperor said he wants to marry you to Prince Chen?"
"No."
"Then what are you talking about, whether to get married or not?" She rolled her eyes at Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo tilted her head playfully: "The emperor told me to go back and wait for the emperor's order. Since he asked this question, the order must be about this! I know without thinking that it must be a granted marriage."
Shen Yun curled her lips and shook her head in disapproval.
"I don't think so. If they wanted to grant you two a marriage, they should have kept them both here and issued the decree directly."
Xiao Mo thought about her words for a moment, raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Who cares? The emperor already knows the answer anyway, so let's take it one step at a time."
After Qi Yue sent Concubine Liang to the outside of Yongyang Palace, he turned around and returned to the East Palace.
On the way, Yuan Mu asked him in confusion why he wanted to save Xiao Xiang, and even asked if he liked her.
Qi Yue stopped and looked at him with gloomy eyes.
He realized that he had said something wrong and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake: "I spoke nonsense, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Qi Yue had no intention of blaming him. He looked away and continued walking.
"It's true that she did this, but Qi Suyuan must have been behind the scenes manipulating her.
She is too stupid. If she had understood what I said just now in the hall and followed my instructions to bite back at Qi Suyuan, the direction of this matter would have changed.
Qi Suyuan wanted to kill her because he was afraid that if she survived, she would bring up this past and it would be detrimental to him in the future.
Find someone to keep an eye on Xiao Xiang and Lin, and see if Qi Suyuan's men will go looking for her."
Yuan Mu was not in the hall just now. He was guarding the door with Ling Su and Shen Yun, so he was not very clear about what was happening inside.
He nodded in agreement, took two steps, and asked, "Do you need me to bring Xiao Xiang in for questioning?"
"After thirty lashes, you're only half dead. Just wait a moment."
Qi Yue thought for a moment, quickened his pace and headed straight towards the East Palace.
On the other side, Qi Minxiu and Ling Su were riding their horses slowly on the long street, one absent-minded and the other extremely worried.
"Your Highness? Are you thinking about what happened in the hall just now?" Ling Su couldn't bear to look at his appearance and asked cautiously.
Qi Minxiu exhaled lightly and said nothing.
Ling Su waited in silence for a while before speaking again: "Your Highness, don't worry. Even if we don't get rid of him this time, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future."
Qi Minxiu's body swayed slightly as he sat on the horse, his mind full of the images of Xiao Mo and Qi Yue just waking up this morning.
Although he had known about this for a long time, seeing such a shocking scene with his own eyes still made him feel jealous.
Seeing that he still looked like that, Ling Su knew that he still hadn't touched his heart.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then a light suddenly flashed through his mind: "Your Highness, are you thinking about General Xiao?"
Sure enough, when Xiao Mo was mentioned, Qi Minxiu's expressionless face moved slightly.
He raised his chin and pretended not to be thinking: "What do you want her for?"
Ling Su didn't argue with him and continued, "Then Your Highness is thinking about Prince Su's matter."
Qi Minxiu glanced at him briefly and said, "He doesn't have anything to think about."
"Isn't Your Highness planning to use Miss Xiao Er to overthrow Prince Su in the main hall? Unfortunately, she's so naive that she keeps pushing herself into the fire pit."
"Humph, I have never thought of using today's incident to bring him down, because it is simply impossible."
Ling Su frowned in confusion: "Why?"
Qi Minxiu curled his lips coldly: "Even if there is evidence today that he was the one who did the assassination, there is no way the emperor would really do anything to him. Besides, there is no evidence."
He turned his head and looked at Ling Su with a half-smile: "How's things going in Changhe Town?"
"The people below are always watching."
"Notify the king immediately if you have any news."
Ling Su nodded in response: "Yes."
For the emperor, no matter how important a person is, he will kill them if they threaten his power.
Qi Minxiu raised an ambiguous smile with a blank look in his eyes.
He didn't take today's events to heart, because the highlight was yet to come.
After returning to Prince Chen's Mansion, Qi Minxiu had just dismounted when he heard an anxious and joyful voice behind him: "Ah Xiu!"
He turned around when he heard the voice, and Xiao Mo had already run up and thrown herself into his arms: "Ah Xiu."
She really wanted to tell him that the emperor might grant them a marriage, but the emperor did not say it clearly when they were in the palace.
So she didn't dare to jump to conclusion, and she didn't know how to share this matter.
Seeing her hesitate to speak, Qi Minxiu frowned: "What's wrong? The prince's injury doesn't need you to take care of him?"
Xiao Mo's joyful expression suddenly froze, her bright smile slowly faded, and she gently came out of his arms.
"What do you mean? You know the reason for yesterday's incident. So, you suspect I slept with him?"
Qi Minxiu didn't expect her to say such harsh words. He was stunned for a moment and then got angry.
"I never said that. It's you who has that idea!"
Xiao Mo looked at him coldly, and left without looking back after a moment.
Her horse was being led by Shen Yun not far away. Seeing her coming towards her angrily, Shen Yun didn't dare to say a word.
Xiao Mo took the reins from her hand, jumped on the horse, and galloped out of the city without any hesitation.
