Mo Xiuyao frowned and helped Ye Li to sit back down. Then he turned to look at Su Zhe and asked, "Elder Su, don't you want to ask about her?"
Su Zhe was stunned. His wrinkled face dimmed and the muscles on his face trembled uncontrollably. After a while, Su Zhe asked in a deep voice, "Is she still alive?" Of course, he knew that Su Zuidie was still alive. Before leaving the capital, the Emperor told him this news and said that he was willing to send people to rescue Su Zuidie. But Su Zhe understood even more clearly … why did Mo Xiuyao catch Zuidie? His granddaughter, who had died of illness nine years ago, was still alive. As long as he recalled the time of Su Zuidie's death and the situation at that time, what else did Su Zhe not understand? When Mo Xiuyao was just injured, the Prince Ding Mansion was in chaos and no one was in charge. It was all thanks to Great Elder Princess's support. He sent Zuidie to the Prince Ding Mansion to take care of Mo Xiuyao's injury. Although they were not married yet, there was no one in the Prince Ding Mansion, so it was natural for Zuidie, who was his fiancée, to take care of him. But his granddaughter fell ill the next day and was sent back. At that time, he only thought that Zuidie had been spoiled since childhood and was frightened, but he did not expect … But even so, Xiuyao had let Zuidie go back then and had no reason to catch her again. She must have done something to make Xiu Yao be so heartless.
Mo Xiuyao nodded and said in a deep voice, "She is in the Prince Ding Mansion."
The study fell into silence again. After a long time, Su Zhe asked, "What did she do?"
Mo Xiuyao hesitated for a moment, got up and took a file from the side table and handed it over. It recorded all the things that happened to Su Zuidie in the past ten years. Su Zhe took it and opened the thick file with trembling fingers. He quickly flipped through it, and the more he read, the uglier his face became. Ye Li leaned against the couch and carefully observed Su Zhe's expression. She couldn't help but reveal a look of pity on her face. After a long time, Su Zhe raised his head from the file and said with a trembling voice, "Okay! What a good Su Zuidie! What a good Bai Long! Lady Bai of Xiling … Imperial Consort Qingrong, Jhennam Of Gojoseon's spy … Good! You are truly my, Su Zhe's, granddaughter! "
"Elder Su …" Seeing Su Zhe's pale face, Ye Li frowned and said worriedly. At the same time, he waved his hand to signal Zhuo Jing, who had been watching from the outside, to invite Shen Yang over. Su Zhe waved his hand and slumped back into his chair. He lowered his head and looked at the file in his trembling hands. Was there something wrong with his teaching? His granddaughter, who had always been obedient and docile in his eyes, had actually done so many things behind his back. At the age of fifteen, she had gotten acquainted with the orphan of the royal family of the previous dynasty. After her fiancé was seriously injured, she could even instigate Master Ming Yue to help her fake her death to escape. In Xiling, she had even used the identity of the Bai family to become the Imperial Consort of Xiling. She had interacted with the Emperor Of Xiling and Jhennam Of Gojoseon. She had even reached the point where she could threaten the Emperor Of Xiling … And … she had sent people to assassinate the unmarried Princess Ding. Was this his granddaughter? Su Zhe suddenly remembered that many years ago, the current Emperor had secretly expressed his intention to bring Su Zuidie into the palace as a consort. At that time, he had flatly refused with the reason that Su Zuidie was already engaged. In fact, even if Su Zuidie and Mo Xiuyao were not engaged at that time, he still wouldn't have agreed to let his granddaughter enter the palace. But who would have thought that she didn't become the Imperial Consort of Da Chu State, but the Imperial Consort of Xiling?
Finally, Su Zhe seemed to have calmed down. He stood up and said, "This old man is tired, so I won't disturb the Prince's Consort any longer. As for that evil creature … "Su Zhe closed his eyes tiredly, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly." Let the Prince's Consort do as she pleases. The Su family doesn't have such a granddaughter! "After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li anymore and strode out the door. Ye Li hurriedly signaled for Lin Han to follow. As expected, they had only taken a few steps when they heard Lin Han's voice outside the door. "Lord Su! Lord Su! " Mo Xiuyao rushed out the door and saw Su Zhe on the ground being supported by Lin Han. The dark pool of blood on the ground was a ghastly sight under the moonlight. Mo Xiuyao lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Send Elder Su back."
Behind him, Ye Li walked to his side and held his hand. The two watched as Su Zhe was sent back to the guest room by Lin Han. Looking at Mo Xiuyao's indifferent expression, Ye Li said softly, "Why are you like this, didn't you say that you would leave Su Zuidie's matter to me?" Mo Xiuyao looked at her quietly. Ye Li leaned into his arms and said softly, "I know that you don't want to make things difficult for me, but since I am the King's Consort, isn't it my duty to deal with these matters? If something happens to Lord Su because of this, would you be able to let it go? "
Mo Xiuyao was silent and only reached out to pull her into his arms. Even though she was more than seven months pregnant, Ye Li still looked thin and slender. The two leaned against each other, the moonlight quietly falling on their bodies, making people's hearts feel exceptionally peaceful. — — —
Inside the Chu Palace
The window was half closed, the silver moonlight quietly falling into the garden outside the window, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance. At the corner of the wall outside the window, a white flower slowly bloomed with a beautiful charm. The snow white flower bloomed like a lotus, but it was even more holy and noble than a lotus, like a white fairy dancing alone under the moonlight. In front of the window, a beautiful woman in white lazily leaned against the window, letting the moonlight fall on her body. Her indifferent eyes casually looked at the blooming epiphyllum outside the window, lost in thought.
"Pure as ice and pure as jade, only blooming in the middle of the night, not competing with other flowers. This epiphyllum is the most beautiful flower in the world, isn't it? "A man's laughing voice sounded in the room, but there seemed to be a hint of ridicule in his laughter.
The woman in white didn't even bother to turn her head and said indifferently, "If there is no one who cherishes flowers, what is the use of being beautiful?"
The man smiled and said, "How can that be? How many people have waited all night to see this epiphyllum bloom, but unfortunately, they can't see it. Epiphyllum bloom, only for Skanda … this really is a flower that makes people both love and hate it. "
The woman in white, Noble Consort Liu, sat up and looked coldly at the man in the hall. "What are you doing here? Mo Jingqi has sent people everywhere to look for you, and you still dare to come to the palace?! " There were no candles in the hall. In the darkness, a man strolled out. The moonlight shone on his body, adding a strange aura. "I came, naturally, to tell you my harvest from this trip to the capital. One good news, one bad news. Which one does Noble Consort Liu want to hear? "
Noble Consort Liu looked at him indifferently, as if unmoved. The man smiled helplessly and said, "News about Mo Xiuyao, are you also not interested?"
Noble Consort Liu's cold eyes moved slightly, and she stared at the man who was deliberately mystifying her. The man said with some frustration, "Fine, the good news is that your enemy, Su Zuidie, is now in Prince Ding's hands. And she has been tortured until she is half dead. It seems that Prince Ding has really cut off all ties with her. The bad news is … Princess Ding returned to Ruyang City alive, and she is seven months pregnant. In two months, the heir of the Prince Ding Mansion will be born. "
"Ye Li is still alive?!" Noble Consort Liu said coldly, "You have seen Ye Li?"
The man nodded and said, "She fell into my hands. Originally, I wanted to use her to threaten Mo Xiuyao, but …"
