"Xiao Moyan, what do you mean?" Luo Ling's face darkened slightly.

Xiao Moyan's expression was calm, and his tone was much colder than usual: "I can ignore everything else, but the emperor...cannot be touched."

Luo Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Oh, I didn't expect that someone as cold-blooded as you would have a soft spot."

Xiao Moyan didn't say anything, as if he agreed.

Luo Ling slowly stood up and looked at the bamboo forest in front of him. His eyes were far away, as if he remembered something. His expression dimmed for a moment: "Back then, you and I were just children. I accidentally stumbled into this place and met you. Later, I became a frequent visitor here."

At this point, Luo Ling's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying: "I once regarded you as a close friend, but you... hid everything from me, and even helped your despicable father insult my wife..."

Luo Ling's emotions were somewhat out of control. Everyone in the southwest knew that Princess Luo had committed suicide six years ago. From then on, whenever Princess Luo was mentioned, Prince Luo would become extremely terrifying.

Xiao Moyan's expression remained calm, without any change, and he didn't explain anything. He just said indifferently, "Xiao Yun is not my father."

"It is said that Queen Yining was also abducted by Xiao Yun. Queen Yining passed away after giving birth to you. It is known to all the five states that you don't recognize Xiao Yun. But no matter how much you hate him, his dirty blood still flows in your body." Luo Ling's face was gloomy, and he spoke bad words deliberately to provoke Xiao Moyan, as if he would be happy if Xiao Moyan was sad.

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Moyan frowned and said in a cold voice.

Luo Ling slowly calmed down, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again: "Mo Yan, you asked me to endure it, and I endured it. I have given you nine years. When will you fulfill your promise?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Moyan was silent for a moment and said, "Now is not the time..."

Luo Ling couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Isn't it the right time? I think now is the right time. The Emperor is young, ignorant, timid and cowardly. As the Regent, you have sole control of power. The Grand Emperor is not in Lizhou either. Isn't this a good time?"

Luo Ling paused, his expression darkening, "Or... are you reluctant to give up the throne of Regent?"

Xiao Moyan suddenly turned to look at Luo Ling, his eyes cold and indifferent, deep yet light: "Do you really just want to avenge Princess Luo?"

If that's the case... then there's no need to worry. The culprit, Emperor Xiao, Xiao Yun, died nine years ago.

Luo Ling's heart trembled. Her dark eyes seemed to be able to see through the darkness in his heart. She couldn't help but turn her head away and change the subject: "Since you won't lend me a hand, I hope you won't become an obstacle to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Moyan to reply, Luo Ling rushed out.

Xiao Moyan looked at Luo Ling's back as if he was fleeing in panic, raised his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, muttering to himself: "Power changes people even faster than time..."

The passionate and carefree Luo Ling of that year has become so aggressive and unscrupulous.

Yes, he was just a son of the Luo family in the past, but now he is the prestigious King Luo of the Southwest. What he wants and thinks is completely different from before. If Princess Luo was still alive, Luo Ling would probably not have reached this point.

Until now, Xiao Moyan still remembers how young and innocent Princess Luo was, and how she was so stunning and charming, and how she was defiled by Emperor Xiao...
