Looking at Mo Xiuyao's nonchalant expression, Ye Li frowned slightly. After waking up, she felt that the people around her were hiding something from her. Just now, Mo Xiuyao had purposefully scared away Bai Furen, which made this feeling even stronger.
Raising her head, Ye Li looked straight at Mo Xiuyao's slightly guilty face and asked softly, "Mo Xiuyao, are you hiding something from me?"
"Uh … of course not. Why is Li Li asking this? "Mo Xiuyao said with a smile. The smile on his face was not as relaxed as before.
Ye Li raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a shadow of a smile as she asked, "Could it be that Prince Ding has taken a fancy to some family's girl and wants to bring her into the wang fu to give Xiao Bao a concubine?" Mo Xiuyao's expression changed slightly. His lips twitched as he pulled Ye Li back into his arms and said sullenly, "Li Li is speaking nonsense. I only like Li Li." Ye Li patted his back in amusement and asked, "Then what is it that you have to be so secretive about? I haven't been feeling well these past few days. When I'm better, won't I go ask myself? "
So it could be said that Master Prince Ding would do many stupid things out of concern. For example, he clearly knew that these things could not be hidden unless he killed all the people who knew about it. But unconsciously, he did not want Li Li to see this side of him.
After a while, Mo Xiuyao said sullenly, "I killed Bai Yuncheng's daughter."
Ye Li was slightly startled. She remembered that Bai Qingning was by her side when she was attacked that day. She asked softly, "Is it because of the assassination that day?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li and said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with Ah Li. It's this king who doesn't like her." Ye Li smiled helplessly and sighed softly, "Even though Bai Qingning's crime did not warrant death, but you don't have to hide this from me, right?" Even though she was not used to casually taking people's lives due to her deep-rooted beliefs in her previous life, but at least in her heart, Mo Xiuyao was thousands of times more important than the unrelated Bai Qingning, right? Moreover, after so many years, even if Ye Li wasn't used to it, she should also understand that sometimes, it wasn't because someone deserved to die that they were killed. There were many people who didn't deserve to die, but the number of people who didn't deserve to die was probably more than the number of people who deserved to die. In their position, many times, they did not have a choice.
Mo Xiuyao looked up and stared at her. After a while, he said, "I also killed many West-Hill nobles."
Ye Li was silent for a while. Then she sighed softly and asked, "How many?"
"Thirty percent," Mo Xiuyao said indifferently. More than thirty percent of the nobles in the Emperor Of Xiling were killed by him. The shock to the world was definitely greater than killing thousands of civilians.
After a long time, Ye Li leaned back into Mo Xiuyao's arms and sighed softly, "You hid it from them because of this?" Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and stroked her hair. He said in a low voice, "Li doesn't like me killing people indiscriminately." Ye Li's originally heavy mood couldn't help but be happy. She looked up and glanced at him unhappily. "You also know that it is killing people indiscriminately? I am not a Bodhisattva in a temple. When I really want to kill, I will not be soft-hearted. It is fine if you kill those nobles in a moment of anger or for some other reason. What did those maids and servants who didn't know anything know? It is just ruining your own reputation. "
Mo Xiuyao looked at her silently. Wasn't it because he could not control himself for a moment …
Seeing him like this, Ye Li could not be angry. She raised a hand and touched his tightly knitted brows. She said softly, "Although I do not believe in the so-called karma, but killing too much is harmful to the harmony of the world. It is easy to lose one's mind. Xiuyao, I hope you are well. " Early in Bian City, Ye Li had sensed that Mo Xiuyao had a shocking murderous aura in his heart. These years, he had controlled it very well. However, the few times he lost control, the effects were already shocking enough. The reason was very likely that it was because he had forcefully suppressed the hatred between the Mohist army and the two generations of Prince Ding. Ye Li did not want this kind of loss of control to become normal. Otherwise, there would only be two results. One was that he would slowly calm down after releasing the murderous aura in his heart. The other was that he would lose himself in this endless killing. No matter which one it was, it would require countless people to pay the price with their lives.
"Li …" Mo Xiuyao looked in a daze at his wife who was looking at him with a worried expression. He tiredly lowered his eyes and leaned on Ye Li's shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Li, I am so tired … don't leave me …" He could see Li's worry. In fact, he also understood. For example, this time's matter. He clearly had a better way to deal with it, but at that time, he did not have any thoughts in his heart. He only wanted to kill all the people who hurt Li. Apart from this, he did not think of any other possibility. This kind of result, even if he did not think it was bad, he also understood that there were many hidden troubles.
Ye Li reached out to hold his hand and gently placed it on her flat stomach. She said with a smile, "Why would I leave you? We still have Xiao Bao, and now we have a new baby. "Mo Xiuyao's hand that was on her stomach paused. He asked softly," What if there is no child? " Ye Li smiled and said, "If you don't have a child, I'm afraid that your Highness will fall for someone else, right?" Mo Xiuyao shook his head. He raised her small chin and let her meet his eyes. He said seriously, "I do not care about children. Even if there is no child, I only want Li Li."
In this era, for a woman, this could be considered the most affectionate words of love. Ye Li smiled faintly and looked at him teasingly, "Prince, it is too late to say this now." Now that they already had a child and were about to have another, the emotional level of this sentence was naturally reduced greatly.
Seeing that Ye Li did not seem to be angry, Mo Xiuyao's smile slowly bloomed in his eyes. He gently held her in his arms and said with a smile, "I spoke from the bottom of my heart. If it is not Li Li's child, what use is I to have it?"
"Right, why did Madam Bai come to see me at this time?" Ye Li asked softly in Mo Xiuyao's arms. Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said without much care, "So many noble families have fallen. These days, I have been ignoring the Bai Family. Bai Yuncheng is probably anxious. "
"Are you planning to abandon the Bai Family?" Ye Li asked curiously. The Bai Family was one of the top aristocratic families in West-Hill and was the first to come to the examination. Regardless of sentiment or reason, the Prince Ding Mansion had to give some face to the Bai Family. But now Mo Xiuyao did not hesitate to kill the legitimate daughter of the Bai Family. Naturally, he had the intention to abandon the Bai Family. Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "There are not many people in the Bai Family who can be used. Moreover, they have always been fence-sitters. When Lei Zhenting was in power, they leaned towards Lei Zhenting. Now that we have just entered the Imperial City, they lean towards the Prince Ding Mansion. Although it is a little bit to adapt to circumstances, some people go too far … It makes people feel embarrassed. The Bai Family is such a big family business. If it is important, it will inevitably make people feel unfair. If it is idle, Bai Yuncheng will rebel sooner or later. It is better to solve it now. As for the family of concubines, humph! I don't want Xiaobao to marry a woman surnamed Bai. "
