A cup of tea was placed in front of her. Mo Xiuyao looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes, "Li Li, are you tired? Drink some tea."
Ye Li stared blankly, then couldn't help but smile. Actually, she didn't like to lose her composure in front of Mo Xiuyao, but since it was already like this, then so be it. After taking a sip of the tea, Ye Li put down the cup and reached out her hands to Mo Xiaobao. Mo Xiaobao happily threw himself into his mother's arms, smiling with curved eyes, and said in a low voice, "Mother is mighty." Ye Li gently patted his little head and said, "You're not allowed to learn." Children liked to imitate adults the most. If Mo Xiaobao also talked dirty one day, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
"You …" Noble Consort Liu was already trembling with anger. She pointed at Mo Xiuyao and said in a trembling voice, "You … you're just going to let her insult me like this?"
Mo Xiuyao looked up and said doubtfully, "Why would I's beloved consort insult you? She was just giving you pointers. Didn't you say you were willing to do anything for I? " I only want you to do one thing for me. "Noble Consort Liu looked at Mo Xiuyao in a panic. She felt uneasy and couldn't help but shake her head. Mo Xiuyao said indifferently, "Don't appear in front of I ever again."
Ye Li looked at Noble Consort Liu's disbelieving face and said with a smile, "Noble Consort Liu, you said you were willing to do anything for Mo Xiuyao. Then … do you dare to go out on the street and tell everyone that the person you love is Prince Ding? "
Noble Consort Liu hadn't recovered from Mo Xiuyao's ruthless words and was stunned by Ye Li's words. She reflexively looked at Mo Xiuyao. If Mo Xiuyao was willing to accept her, then of course she would dare to say it. But if Mo Xiuyao didn't accept her at all, then after she said those words, even if she was the Crown Prince's birth mother, she would have nothing left. Seeing her expression, Ye Li understood. She sneered, "It seems that Noble Concubine Liu doesn't love him as much as she claims."
Noble Consort Liu didn't know what to say. After a long while, she looked at Mo Xiuyao with even more resentment in her eyes. "You will regret it."
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows, his expression indifferent. Noble Consort Liu looked at the family of three in front of her. There was no place for her in this place. Finally, she forced herself to turn around and go downstairs. Noble Consort Liu asked all the maids and eunuchs to retreat to the first floor because she wanted to talk. At this time, Noble Consort Liu came down the stairs in a daze. When she reached the last step, her legs gave way and she fell down the stairs. The palace maids and eunuchs were so scared that they all rushed up to support her. The people downstairs immediately huddled together.
Although Noble Consort Liu wasn't hurt, she recovered from the fall. "Your Highness, are you all right?"
Noble Consort Liu looked back at the empty stairs. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go back to the palace!"
Upstairs, Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li's cold face with a smile. He was in a good mood and said, "Is Miss Li angry?" Ye Li glanced at him indifferently and said, "Prince is happy?" Mo Xiuyao raised his hand and knocked on his forehead. He said with a smile, "Not bad. I never knew that Miss Li could be so sharp-tongued. "
Ye Li narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you feel sorry for her?"
"Why? She is so vicious! There is no such thing as the most vicious, only more vicious. Next time you see her, Miss Li, scold her as much as you can. Scold her in front of everyone. Then she won't dare to covet your husband! "Mo Xiuyao quickly expressed his intention. Ye Li looked at him with a faint smile, "Covet? Isn't it Prince himself who attracts bees and butterflies? "Mo Xiuyao said with a bitter face," I don't dare to have a fierce wife at home. "
"Fierce wife …"
"My mistake … I have a virtuous wife at home. I don't want to." Mo Xiuyao said righteously. Looking at Mo Xiuyao's playful appearance, Ye Li smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Prince." Mo Xiaobao came out from his mother's arms. He pointed at Mo Xiuyao and said, "Mother, father lied to you. He is the one who attracts bees and butterflies. Last time he even said that all the women in the world would fall under his charm! "
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at Mo Xiuyao with a smile. Mo Xiuyao really wanted to pull out the little brat in her arms and throw him down the stairs. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. Mo Xiuyao pulled Mo Xiaobao into his arms and used both hands to pinch his little chubby face!
"Stinky brat! What good does it do you to ruin your parents' relationship? You don't want a stepmother, do you think your stepfather will treat you well? This father has enemies all over the world. Any man that is passable will want to pinch you to death, do you know that? "Mo Xiaobao's eyes were filled with tears from being bullied. Ye Li covered her face and angrily glared at Mo Xiuyao, "What kind of nonsense are you saying to Xiaobao?"
Mo Xiuyao stared at the tearful Mo Xiaobao and sneered, "I was telling him that other than his biological parents, his life would be over if he followed anyone. He's willing to cause trouble all day long. "
"Mother, wuwu … your child was wrong … save me ah …" Unable to resist Mo Xiuyao, Mo Xiaobao could only ask Ye Li for help. Ye Li smiled and took Mo Xiaobao from Mo Xiuyao's arms. Lightly patting him, she said, "Let's see if you still dare to speak nonsense in the future."
"Wuwu …" He didn't dare. Mo Xiaobao quickly buried himself in Ye Li's arms, afraid that his father would find a chance to rub him again. In the empty second floor, although Mo Xiaobao's squeaking sounds could still be heard, it was exceptionally warm and peaceful.
Outside the back door of the teahouse, Noble Consort Liu's face was gloomy as she got into the luxurious sedan that was waiting for her. She coldly said, "Go to the prime minister's residence!"
Inside the sedan, Tan Jizhi was lying comfortably on the wide soft couch, tasting the fresh fruits on the small table. Seeing Noble Consort Liu come in, he smiled, "The imperial family is indeed a good place. You can even taste such delicious fresh fruits on this early February day." Noble Consort Liu coldly waved her hand and all the fruits on the small table fell to the ground. One of them even rolled out of the sedan door. But the people outside didn't dare to ask or stay, as if nothing had happened.
Tan Jizhi faintly glanced at her and said, "Mo Xiuyao rejected you."
Noble Consort Liu's face was cold and she didn't speak. Of course she wouldn't tell Tan Jizhi about the humiliation she suffered upstairs. But who was Tan Jizhi? He had been Mo Jingqi's confidant for ten years and Mo Jingqi had never doubted him. He could even make the Saintess of Nan Jiang listen to him without batting an eyelid. Not to mention how good he was at scheming, at least not many people in the world could compare with him when it came to figuring out people's minds and judging people's facial expressions. Just by looking at Noble Consort Liu's facial expression, Tan Jizhi knew that it wasn't as simple as Mo Xiuyao rejecting her. And Princess Ding herself wasn't easy to deal with. Just by thinking about what Noble Consort Liu would do, Tan Jizhi could roughly guess what had happened.
"She was bullied by Princess Ding? Or more seriously … she was mocked by Princess Ding. Prince Ding is still helping her? "The truth was far more serious than he thought. Ye Li directly scolded.
"Shut up!" Noble Consort Liu said angrily. As long as she thought of the humiliation she suffered in the teahouse, Noble Consort Liu wished she could tear Ye Li into pieces. But she couldn't kill Ye Li, at least she couldn't kill her now. So she could only endure it and force herself to forget about it for the time being.
Tan Jizhi shrugged. As she wished, he didn't mention it again. He asked, "If Mo Xiuyao doesn't plan to help, what does Noble Consort Liu plan to do?"
Noble Consort Liu snorted and said, "I's son is the rightful Crown Prince. Even if Mo Xiuyao doesn't help, so what? As long as my son sits on the throne … "At that time, he would definitely pay back the humiliation he suffered today a hundredfold. Tan Jizhi raised his eyebrows and said, "So what? Isn't the current Emperor Of Xiling the rightful Emperor? So what? "
"How can I's son be the same as the Emperor Of Xiling? I have the Liu Clan behind me. "Noble Consort Liu said.
Tan Jizhi curled his lips. That was even more unlucky. Even if Prince Li was overthrown, there was still the Liu Clan to restrain the new Emperor.
"Noble Consort Liu, don't forget that the south is Prince Li's territory. And Prince Li is the Regent who has the real military power. Honestly speaking … 1. Compared to Prince Li, the previous Prince Regent Mo Liufang was nothing. No matter how powerful he is, he doesn't want to usurp the throne. However, Prince Li and Prince Cheng were indeed eyeing the throne covetously. Noble Consort Liu, are you confident that Prince Li won't force you to abdicate the throne in the future? "
Noble Consort Liu frowned and said, "No … the Emperor must have something on him."
"Why do you think so?"
Noble Consort Liu sneered and said, "Who do you think Mo Jingli is? How can the position of Regent be enough to get rid of him? He clearly had the victory in his hands, but in the end, he was made Regent by the Emperor. Instead, I's son became the Crown Prince. So the Emperor must have something on him that is fatal. He had no choice but to take a step back, which led to today's situation. If I can find out what it is … "
"Noble Consort Liu, you haven't seen the Emperor for many days, right?" Tan Jizhi asked.
Noble Consort Liu frowned and said, "He didn't ask I to see him. What's there to see him lying on the bed?"
Tan Jizhi shook his head in his mind. Mo Jingqi must have been extremely unlucky and blind to have married this woman. Mo Xiuyao didn't like her, which was definitely a wise decision. "Noble Consort Liu, you'd better go back and see the Emperor. I'm afraid … the Emperor doesn't trust Noble Consort Liu and the Liu family anymore. At that time … don't let the snipe and the clam fight and let the fisherman profit. "
Mo Jingqi had always been a suspicious person. Lying on the bed, he became even more suspicious. Noble Consort Liu's attitude might have been cold and arrogant in the past, but now in Mo Jingqi's eyes, it might be that she hoped he would die early. "By the way, see if you can find out what Mo Jingqi has on Prince Li."
Noble Consort Liu thought for a while and nodded, saying, "I know."
