Mo Xiuyao snorted. He turned around and pulled Ye Li to the main seat.
After Mo Xiuyao walked a few steps away, the two men heaved a sigh of relief. When they found that they could move, they fell to the ground. Before Noble Consort Liu said anything, they rolled and crawled out. Leng Junhan sat in the chair and waved at Mo Xiaobao cheerfully. After receiving Mo Xiaobao's disdainful eye roll, she didn't care and curiously poked Feng Zhiyao, who was tightly tied up beside her. "Hey … Uncle Feng, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Zhiyao smiled bitterly and looked at Ye Li for help. He didn't dare to ask Mo Xiuyao for help. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to be untied by Mo Xiuyao. Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled. She raised her finger and a silver light shot out of it. Feng Zhiyao felt cold on his arm. The rope that tied him up loosened immediately. Looking back at the silver blade that was stuck in the wall, Feng Zhiyao felt his hair stand on end. Well, he couldn't afford to offend her either.
"Feng San, are you okay?" Ye Li looked at Feng Zhiyao's clothes that were torn by the whip and stained with blood.
"I'm fine." Feng Zhiyao shook his head. In fact, he was just whipped a few times. For someone like Feng Zhiyao who had been on the battlefield, it wasn't even a small wound. It was just a loss of face.
"Prince Ding, I …" Noble Consort Liu frowned and said anxiously.
Mo Xiuyao raised his hand to stop her, but the words that came out of his beautiful thin lips made Noble Consort Liu feel cold all over. "Take her out and whip her ten times before she speaks." Mo Xiuyao saw the scars on Feng Zhiyao's body as soon as they met.
"Prince Ding, you …" Noble Consort Liu's face turned pale. "What did you say?"
Mo Xiuyao said indifferently, "Feng San belongs to the Prince Ding Mansion. Even if he made a big mistake, the Prince Ding Mansion should take responsibility for it. Since when … was it up to you, a mere concubine of the inner palace, to decide? I don't care what you want to say. You have to take the whip. "The guard outside the door heard the order and came in immediately. He walked to Noble Consort Liu without hesitation. The current Noble Consort couldn't be whipped? The consequences were serious? The consequences would be more serious if the Prince got angry! These days, the Prince was in a bad mood.
"Stop!" Noble Consort Liu shouted harshly, "You can't touch me! I'm the current Noble Consort! "
Mo Xiuyao pouted in disdain. "You're the late Emperor's concubine. So what if I whipped you? Who dared to save you? Your father? Mo? or your father? "
"I have something to tell you … It's something good for the Prince Ding Mansion. You'll regret it if you don't listen. "Noble Consort Liu bit her lips, which were trembling because of fear, and said anxiously.
"Take her away. Don't make I say it again." Mo Xiuyao said coldly.
The two guards neatly dragged Noble Consort Liu out of the room, one on the left and one on the right. Noble Consort Liu only knew a little martial arts. How could she defeat the two guards? She was dragged away almost without any resistance. After a while, the sound of a whip breaking through the air came from outside the door. Mo Xiaobao opened his eyes curiously. "Why didn't she scream?"
Ye Li covered her face. Was it really okay to block the two children? Most importantly, why was Mo Xiaobao not only poking his head out fearlessly, but also Leng Junhan, who had always been obedient, opened her eyes wide with curiosity and excitement? Was there really a problem with the way she raised the children? When Leng Haoyu and Murong Ting came back, how was she going to explain that their obedient son had become so cruel?
Ten lashes were actually very fast. In less than half an hour, Noble Consort Liu was dragged back and put back in the chair she was sitting in. But this time, her white clothes were stained with bright red blood. Noble Consort Liu could no longer maintain her graceful sitting posture. She could only lie on the chair weakly. She looked much more miserable than Feng Zhiyao.
Feng Zhiyao looked at Noble Consort Liu, who was even more miserable than him, with a happy face. He suddenly felt that the wounds on his body were not so painful. However, when he met Mo Xiuyao's half-smiling eyes, Feng Zhiyao immediately shrank back without the courage to do so. He was still more miserable than Noble Consort Liu. He could foresee that the future waiting for him would definitely be full of disasters.
"Now, you can say it." Mo Xiuyao seemed to be in a better mood. He took a sip of tea and said.
Noble Consort Liu was trembling in pain. How could she say anything else? She and Feng Zhiyao, who was thick-skinned, didn't feel any pain. Moreover, the guards of the Prince Ding Mansion didn't mean to go easy on her at all. She could still sit here now because the people who beat her knew that she had to talk to the Prince after the beating, so they were a little merciful.
Noble Consort Liu gasped. She looked at Mo Xiuyao who was holding a teacup and handing it to Ye Li, who was sitting next to him, with a smile in his eyes. Even when he was talking to her, he didn't look at her at all. She couldn't help but feel cold all over. "You are so cruel …"
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows. "I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense."
After suffering so much, if Noble Consort Liu still didn't know that the previous method didn't work on Mo Xiuyao, then she really lived for decades in vain. Clenching her teeth, Noble Consort Liu said, "I can help you take down the three prefectures in the north of Da Chu State and the Northern Tribes without any effort."
"Oh?" Mo Xiuyao glanced sideways at her and looked at her suspiciously.
Seeing this, Noble Consort Liu knew that Mo Xiuyao was interested. She was delighted and said in a low voice, "But I have a condition."
Mo Xiuyao leaned back slightly and leaned on Ye Li. He asked, "Let's hear it."
"I want you to marry me as your concubine!"
"Puff —" Feng Zhiyao coughed again and again. He looked at the woman in front of him with resentment. He hadn't drunk a mouthful of water for a day and a night. This woman actually made him choke!
Ye Li couldn't help but fall back. Mo Xiuyao, who was leaning on her, could only sit up and turn around to hold her slender waist and pull her close. "Li Li …" Ye Li smiled apologetically. She wasn't angry or didn't trust Mo Xiuyao. She was just frightened by Noble Consort Liu. She had just been whipped ten times by Mo Xiuyao, yet she was still so infatuated that she wanted to marry him. Wasn't she afraid that Mo Xiuyao would kill her after using her? Wasn't she asking for it? The reason why Noble Consort Liu didn't love Mo Jingqi was probably because Mo Jingqi was too good to her.
Seeing Ye Li's smile, Mo Xiuyao rubbed against her with satisfaction. "Li Li, what do you say?"
Ye Li raised her eyebrows. Shouldn't he solve this problem himself? What did he mean by pushing it to her?
"Shouldn't the princess have the final say in taking a concubine?" Mo Xiuyao asked innocently.
Taking a concubine? Ye Li narrowed her eyes. Her voice was calm and contained a smile. "Prince wants to take a concubine?"
"I am a good husband. My beloved concubine has the final say in matters of the Inner Residence," Mo Xiuyao said generously.
"Prince Ding, I'm not talking about taking a concubine." Noble Consort Liu's face was livid. "I want you to marry me … as an equal concubine!" Originally, she wanted to say the official concubine, but seeing Prince Ding's attitude towards Ye Li, she knew it was impossible. Noble Consort Liu decided to take a step back. As long as she became Prince Ding's concubine … then …
"Tch …" Feng Zhiyao sneered. "Noble Consort Liu, don't tell me you don't know? This equal concubine to the official concubine is the same as Noble Consort to the Empress. They're both concubines! "
Noble Consort Liu's eyes sharpened. She stared at Feng Zhiyao fiercely. "Feng San, shut your stinky mouth. Otherwise, I will ruin your reputation with her!"
Feng Zhiyao raised his eyebrows. "Ruin my reputation? Just like you, Noble Consort Liu? You personally went to the Prince's house to force him to take you as a concubine? Ah … let me think. You used the land of the three prefectures in the north of Da Chu State as a bargaining chip. What's this called again … treason? "
Noble Consort Liu trembled with anger. She wanted to get up, but the pain in her body made her unable to move. She took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart. She looked at Mo Xiuyao and said, "Prince Ding, what do you think?"
Mo Xiuyao said calmly, "I never care about matters of the Inner Residence."
Feng Zhiyao snickered. What an interesting way to put it. Did the Prince Ding Mansion have matters of the Inner Residence?
Noble Consort Liu thought she understood what Mo Xiuyao meant. It was up to Ye Li to decide whether to marry her or not. This made Noble Consort Liu very unhappy. But since Mo Xiuyao said so, Noble Consort Liu could only comfort herself that it was because of Prince Ding of the Xu family that he gave face to Ye Li. She raised her chin slightly and looked at Ye Li proudly. "Miss Ye, you must know that I have benefits for the Prince Ding Mansion and the Mohist army, right?"
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and stopped Mo Xiaobao, who wanted to jump up. She smiled faintly and said, "With Noble Consort Liu's brain … you can't think of such a thing, right? Let me guess whose idea it was? Tan Jizhi? "
Looking at Noble Consort Liu's gloomy face, Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Tan Jizhi is now in the hands of the Prince Ding Mansion. Does Noble Consort Liu think it's interesting to use this to negotiate? But I still have to thank Noble Consort Liu for providing such interesting information. In addition … "Seeing that Noble Consort Liu wanted to interrupt, Ye Li lowered her voice and said," The three states that Noble Consort Liu mentioned are all connected to the Northern Tribes. The border is thousands of miles long. Once the Mohist army takes over, they will have to face the attack of the Northern Tribes and the condemnation of the people of the Da Chu State. Noble Consort Liu, do you want to help the Prince Ding Mansion or do you want to harm the Prince Ding Mansion? "
Noble Consort Liu opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She really didn't understand these things. She just thought about it after listening to Tan Jizhi's analysis.
"You … you're talking nonsense! Why would the Mohist army be afraid of the Northern Tribes and a group of common people? "Noble Consort Liu said with a pale face.
Ye Li smiled and didn't say anything else. It was a waste of time to talk about the people's hearts with this woman who was crazy for a man and didn't care about anything else. Raising her hand and gently twirling the hair around her ear, Ye Li looked at Noble Consort Liu and said faintly, "It seems that Noble Consort Liu can't come up with any constructive ideas. Then please go back. If you don't have the ability, don't think about other people's men. If you really need something, there's a Qingfeng Restaurant in the west of the city. "
"Cough, cough, cough …" Feng Zhiyao put down the teacup with a twisted face and looked at Ye Li with a frightened face. Qingfeng Restaurant … that's a men's restaurant, right? How did you know, Princess Consort?
