Seeing the slight change in her expression, Mo Yunzhao continued, "Today he met me through the princess and expressed his feelings in such a way. If Your Highness is narrow-minded, I'm afraid you wouldn't even trust me."

Princess Ning'an pursed her lips and clenched her hands slightly.

Mo Yunzhao said calmly, "The princess is a smart person. She will know the result after thinking about it for a while."

"Ning An, don't let yourself be used." Mo Yunlan patted her shoulder with concern.

Of course, we couldn't eat.

Princess Ning'an was alone on the boat, thinking about everything.

Third Brother said he only wanted to apologize to Mo Yunzhao, but then he put on such a show to express his true feelings.

Just as Mo Yunzhao said, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, if the Crown Prince is a narrow-minded and suspicious person.

They will inevitably suspect Mo Yunzhao, and they will also lose trust in her, their own sister who helped their third brother.

The Crown Prince is weak and alone. If he doesn't receive help from Moyang City, then his position as Crown Prince...

Princess Ning'an wept bitterly, burying her face in her hands at the table.

Ling Yongnian disembarked shirtless. The boatman kindly offered him a set of coarse linen clothes, which he politely declined.

In reality, they disliked the coarse linen clothes because they were dirty.

He ran into Lai Hongbo, who was like a drowning dog, and returned to the Lai residence in his soaking wet clothes.

After bathing and changing clothes, and drinking ginger soup, wine and dishes were served.

Ling Yongnian drank his wine in frustration, repeatedly saying he couldn't figure it out.

Seeing him like this, Lai Hongbo couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you've already done all this, how could it be... how could it be... sigh."

He was too embarrassed to say it.

Since the dagger has already pierced his heart, couldn't he have been a little more ruthless and gone all out?

The thought of that fingernail wound still made his face burn with embarrassment; it was so shameful.

"Mo Yunzhao wanted to kill me. If I hadn't been sober, you would be collecting my body right now."

Although Ling Yongnian felt ashamed, he did not regret it. Fortunately, he took action himself, otherwise Mo Yunzhao would have definitely killed him in one move.

Lai Hongbo sighed several times and then advised, "Since you are engaged to Mo Bilian, you can marry her and help take back Moyang City. It doesn't have to be Mo Yunzhao."

There are many ways to gain influence in Moyang City; marrying Mo Yunzhao is not necessary.

Besides, the city lord does not marry outside the city.

Ling Yongnian's face darkened as he thought about Mo Bilian's attitude towards Ling Jingyu.

"There has never been a woman I couldn't win over. I don't believe that Mo Yunzhao is an exception. I will make her love me, make me the center of her heart for the rest of her life, and be willing to give everything for me."

The next day at noon, Mo Yunzhao received the small wooden table that had frozen over from the boatman.

The small wooden table had some mottled marks, and the bowls, chopsticks, and even the snacks eaten that day were frozen under crystal-clear ice, as if they were permanently sealed away.

Mo Yunzhao reached out and touched it; it was icy cold.

"What... is this for?" Mo Yunlan asked curiously. "It's been in the sun for quite a while now, why hasn't it melted yet?"

"Your Highness." Mo Yunzhao lowered his eyes and instructed Fu Liu to take the item to the storeroom.

Mo Yunlan: "Your Highness's hobbies are really strange."

Mo Yunzhao thought for a moment and said to Mo Yunlan, "Sister, can you help me find out if there is a master wearing gray robes, and he has to be old."

"Huh?" Mo Yunlan didn't quite understand what this meant.

Mo Yunzhao: "It's like a highly accomplished monk."

The man in the white robe knelt down, scratching the ground with his hands, and then knelt before the old man in the gray robe.

Perhaps, she'll find out once she finds this person.
