"Your humble servant Yao Guangxiao greets Your Highness!" Yao Guangxiao bowed to him. "Guangxiao, what brings you here so early in the morning?" Lin Mo asked him. "And who is this person behind you?"

Lin Mo took a closer look at the girl. She was of medium height, with fair skin, delicate eyebrows, long eyelashes, a small mouth, and a straight nose. Her appearance was truly beautiful.

"Zhao Zhilan, daughter of a disgraced official, pays her respects to Your Highness the Prince of Shu!" Her voice was soft and clear, very pleasant to hear.

Zhao Zhilan? Her nickname is Yue'er! Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat. Wei Maozhen's daughter? The princess of Great Xia?

Lin Mo couldn't see a trace of arrogance in her tone of voice or her expression.

Or it could be said that she was well-mannered and had a refined temperament, but not as dignified and elegant as a princess of the Great Xia Dynasty!

"Are you really his biological son?" Lin Mo couldn't help but wonder. "How come he has such a completely different personality from Wei Maozhen?"

Judging from first impressions, that is indeed the case. Perhaps Wei Maozhen was the same way back then, otherwise why would the late emperor have taken a liking to her at first sight and made her empress?

The world is a stage for fame and fortune, and also a melting pot. Even great heroes and valiant figures can be tainted by the lust for power...

How many heroes and great men on Earth have been corrupted by power and committed numerous evil deeds?

"What business do you have with me?" Lin Mo asked after sighing.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Zhilan knelt down with a thud. "Your Highness, my mother is willing to confess to all her crimes. Please forgive her and spare her life."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo frowned immediately. "Confessed? Confessed to everything?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded and affirmed, "Yes, Your Highness, I acknowledge it all!"

"Grass!"

Lin Mo thought to himself, "Why did she confess? Why should she confess? How am I supposed to kill her now?"
