Thinking of this, Mo Lan picked up her teacup, took a sip, and immediately changed the subject, "Drinking tea under the moon, my mood is different from during the day, and even the aroma and sweetness of the tea are much richer than usual."

Qin Su looked at Mo Lan, knowing that she didn't want to continue the topic, and didn't press the matter. "Under the cover of night, one can smell the aroma of tea without observing its color, and the taste will be clear and easy to discern."

Under the moonlight, the aroma of tea is intoxicating and enchanting.

A breeze stirred, rustling the leaves. Mo Lan put down her teacup and sighed inwardly. See? She knew getting too close to this person would cause trouble. Her wish had come true.

Seeing Mo Lan's speechless expression, Qin Su said apologetically, "I've dragged you into this."

"I knew it all along, there would always be problems when I'm with you." It wasn't that she was being sarcastic; it was just the truth.

Qin Su: "......"

He had nothing to say.

Glancing at the hidden undercurrents around him, Qin Su's expression sharpened. Before he could speak, Wu Feng silently leaped over, saying, "I'm sorry to disturb Master's peace and quiet."

These people are so clueless. Why did they have to make their move when they were having a heart-to-heart talk with Miss Mo Lan under the moon? They must be tired of living.

"They certainly chose a good time. Let them all stay." Anyone who dares to provoke his temper should bear the consequences.

"Yes, Master." Having received his master's instruction, Wufeng turned and left.

A fierce battle is inevitable.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, and after a moment, a faint smell of blood wafted through the air.

"The fishy smell is too strong, ruining the aroma of the tea. It's getting late, Mo Lan, do you want to go and rest?" Qin Su's deep voice rang out in the darkness. Although it was calm and expressionless, Mo Lan knew that Qin Su was angry.

"I'm afraid we can't go back, so I might as well just sit here and watch." Mo Lan glanced at the surging shadows around her, and the clash of cold weapons echoed as they moved in and out.

"Boss, how are you?" Just as Mo Lan was leaning back in her chair, resting her head on her arm and watching the game, Han Shuang appeared silently beside her.

“What could be wrong with me? The one in trouble is Prince Qin. People don’t like him and want to kill him.”

The lanterns on the tree had gone out, and Qin Su was hidden in the darkness, while Mo Lan teased him without any pressure.

There was even a hint of schadenfreude in him. There was no way around it; ever since he met the Qin family, after the father was assassinated and then the son was assassinated, he didn't even have to think to know that the Qin family was having a hard time in the State of Ji and that they were someone to be wary of.

"Since they're so afraid of the Qin family, why don't you just take their place and cut off their supply lines? That would save you a lot of trouble."

Qin Su chuckled at Mo Lan's tone, showing no anger. "Your suggestion is excellent... Our Qin family has already repaid their kindness in taking us in. If it weren't for Mother's sake, the Ji Kingdom would have been overthrown long ago."

When facing Mo Lan, Qin Su made no attempt to hide his feelings. He had been holding back, largely because of his mother.

As the eldest princess, her mother had the blood of the Ji Kingdom's royal family flowing through her veins, and she couldn't bear to see the Ji Kingdom perish.

"In chaotic times, only the fittest survive, dynasties rise and fall, and the change of dynasties is an inevitable process for every dynasty. If you can be a good ruler, the people under your rule will only be grateful to you and support you."

The spirit of the tomb said that Qin Su has the countenance of an emperor and will become a ruler sooner or later. It would be better to just overthrow the Ji Kingdom directly, which would save both time and effort.

When the time comes, they will expand their territory, pacify the world, and perhaps even end this chaotic era!
