"Me?" This was a term used by the emperors of the Central Plains. Princess Anxi was stunned. She took a closer look and said hesitantly, "You are … Mo Jingli?" Princess Anxi couldn't be blamed for not recognizing him. She had never seen Mo Jingli before. Besides, the man in front of her had nothing but height. He definitely looked like the arrogant and sinister King Li of Da Chu State. His originally handsome face had become sallow and emaciated. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness and faintly twisted madness. There was also that strange beard that made him look like the king of a bandit's stronghold. No one would doubt him if he said he was a bandit from some mountain.
Mo Jingli looked at Princess Anxi and laughed loudly. "That's right. I am Mo Jingli! I didn't expect the Queen of Nanzhao to still remember me! "
Princess Anxi looked at the child in his hand with trepidation. Because of his crazy size, the sleeping child began to struggle. He was about to wake up.
"Give me the child first," Princess Anxi said after calming herself down.
"Child? Why should I listen to you? "Mo Jingli looked at Princess Anxi condescendingly. Princess Anxi said in a low voice, "Shuo 'er is still young. He doesn't understand adults. He will definitely cry when he wakes up. You don't want his cries to attract the people from the Prince Ding Mansion, do you? "
Sure enough, before Princess Anxi finished speaking, the child pouted and began to sob. He was about to burst into tears. Mo Jingli was most annoyed by these crying noises during his days on the run. He said angrily, "Shut up!"
How could a half-year-old baby understand his warning? Immediately, he burst into tears. Mo Jingli glared fiercely at Princess Anxi and raised his hand to throw the child away. Princess Anxi jumped in fright and hurriedly leaped up to catch the child in midair. When she landed on the ground, Princess Anxi patted the child gently, still in shock. "Shuo 'er … Shuo' er, be good. Don't cry …"
"Make him shut up immediately! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite! "Mo Jingli ordered coldly. Princess Anxi glanced sideways at Mo Jingli and didn't answer. She just coaxed the child in her arms softly. In his mother's arms, the child's cries quieted down after a short while. He slowly sobbed and fell asleep.
After the baby fell asleep, Princess Anxi carefully found a flat and dry place to put the baby down. She even sprinkled some repellent around the baby. As a person from the Southern Wilderness, he had no lack of these things.
After settling the child, Princess Anxi walked to Mo Jingli, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, and asked calmly, "Why did Emperor Chu bring I here?"
Mo Jingli looked at Princess Anxi maliciously and sneered, "What do you want? Can't We catch you for no reason? "
Princess Anxi shook her head and said, "I don't believe it. If it wasn't for anything, Emperor Chu could have killed I from the beginning. Why wait until now? Is it for … the Prince Ding Mansion? " It wasn't hard to guess. Although Mo Jingli was deposed by the Empress Dowager and the officials of Da Chu State, it was because of the war with the Prince Ding Mansion. If he hadn't been defeated by the Prince Ding Mansion, the officials of Da Chu State wouldn't have dared to rebel against Mo Jingli in Jiangnan.
Mo Jingli stared at her and said, "You're smart. No wonder Shu Manlin couldn't beat you. Unfortunately … no matter how smart you are, it's useless in my hands. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for coming to Li City. "
Princess Anxi didn't speak anymore. With her intelligence, she could see that Mo Jingli wasn't normal. If Mo Jingli was determined to kill her, it was useless to say anything. As the Queen of Nanzhao, she wouldn't kneel and beg for mercy.
But Princess Anxi's calmness angered Mo Jingli. Mo Jingli stared at her and laughed sinisterly. "Do you think your husband will come to save you? Yes, he escaped, but … do you think the people of the Prince Ding Mansion can find you? Even if they can find you … this child isn't even a year old yet, right? Can he hold on until then? "
Princess Anxi said calmly, "What do you want?"
Mo Jingli smiled and said, "Nothing. I just want to see how powerful the Prince Ding Mansion is."
Princess Anxi closed her eyes and was silent for a long time. Then she said, "You captured me to distract the Prince Ding Mansion. You want to do something else … you want to harm the people of the Prince Ding Mansion. "
Mo Jingli tilted his head and looked at Princess Anxi for a long time. Then he sighed and said, "You're really a smart woman. You're much better than that idiot Xi Xia. Back then … why did I fall for that idiot? "
Princess Anxi gritted her teeth, anger flashing through her eyes. When Princess Xi Xia was sent back to Li City by Ye Li's men, her injuries hadn't healed yet. Not to mention, she looked like a seven or eight year old child. Although she was very angry at her disobedient sister, Princess Anxi couldn't help but hate Mo Jingli's heartlessness when she saw how she was hurt by the man she had loved for more than ten years.
"Since you already know, then stay here obediently. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you go. If you don't … I promise I'll let you watch your precious son die a horrible death! "Mo Jingli looked down at Princess Anxi and smiled coldly. As if he thought of something, a trace of hostility flashed through Mo Jingli's eyes. He smiled and said, "I know the people of the Prince Ding Mansion are looking for us. But … don't worry, they won't find us here. Even if they do … they won't dare to come unless they don't want your life anymore. By the way, if you want to escape, you can go out and try. "
With that, Mo Jingli ignored Princess Anxi and swaggered out of the cave.
Seeing Mo Jingli's figure disappear into the cave, Princess Anxi slowly moved to the entrance of the cave. Soon, she understood why Mo Jingli wasn't afraid that she would escape or that the people of the Prince Ding Mansion would find them. This cave was actually halfway up a cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff was a vast and almost endless lake. If she was alone, she could take a gamble and jump directly from the cliff, but with a child, she really couldn't escape by herself.
She silently looked at the lake below the cliff. She wasn't very familiar with the northwest and couldn't guess where she was. After thinking for a while, Princess Anxi turned and walked back into the cave.
