Long Xunyi's deep eyes flickered as he said calmly, "You're asking the wrong person this question. I can only express my own thoughts, but how can I possibly know what the Queen Mother is thinking?"

"Do you really not know or don't want to tell?" Fu Mo looked at him with some suspicion.

Although Long Xunyi's reasons were convincing, even so, as the king of a country, Long Xunyi should not confuse such feelings with national affairs, especially when it came to Grandpa An's collaborating with the enemy and privately making the imperial property of the previous dynasty, Long Xunyi had always maintained a protective attitude. From this point of view, he felt that Long Xunyi did not tell him the truth, at least there were some things he certainly did not tell the truth, and these things should be related to the fact that the Queen Mother doted on An Tingyu.

"If you think I don't want to say it, then I don't want to say it!" Long Xunyi didn't argue with him, but just replied lightly.

Fu Mo frowned, staring at him intently with a pair of sharp eyes. After a long while, he suddenly blurted out, "You can come out now."

Hearing this, Long Xunyi was stunned and looked at him with some confusion. It was not until An Tingyu and Feng Beijian walked out that he realized that Fu Mo had said that to An Tingyu.

Fu Mo slowly turned around, looked at An Tingyu who was supported by Feng Beijian, and said: "I have done so much, can't this stop you?"

"Antidote!" An Tingyu said coldly.

Fu Mo smiled slightly, then took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms and handed it to An Tingyu.

An Tingyu took it and smelled it.

Seeing her actions, Fu Mo felt amused, "Why, are you afraid that I will cheat?"

"Maybe you have used all your cheating skills on me. How can I not be on guard?" An Tingyu glared at him unhappily. She had been tricked by him several times today. If Fengyun had not come, she would probably have died. So how could she not be on guard?

After saying that, An Tingyu took the antidote.

Fu Mo sighed softly, "You've already come this far, so... I lose!"

Before making the decision, Fu Mo had told himself that if An Tingyu could come here despite numerous obstacles, he would stop and regard it as Long Xunyi's fate, so how could he possibly hurt her again.

"You...you mean you won't take revenge?" An Tingyu was a little surprised, because Fu Mo's resentment was so deep, how could he just give up like that? Or was he playing some trick again?

"You're not the only one who understands the truth. Besides, I've already avenged myself. The Southern Emperor has been poisoned. For me, this vengeance is over. As for whether he survives or not, that's none of my business."

An Tingyu smiled at Fu Mo's words, because although Fu Mo said that, his meaning was very clear. He would take revenge, and she could save her people, but the hatred had come to an end.

"Fu Mo, my master trusts you so much, but you missed such a good opportunity. You are incompetent!" A group of masked men in black suddenly broke in from outside the hall, and the leading man in black said coldly.

Seeing the newcomers, Fu Mo immediately stood in front of An Tingyu, frowning deeply, and replied indifferently: "Trust? That's ridiculous. The fact that you can come here shows how much he doesn't trust me."

Turning back, Fu Mo said to An Tingyu: "These people were not arranged by me, but with that person's ability, it is not difficult to arrange a few assassins to enter the palace."

"I know that one of the people at the city gate today wanted to kill me. I already realized then that there might be someone else behind you."

"You're very smart, but..."

Fu Mo wanted to say something, but the men in black didn't give him a chance. The leading man in black said, "Kill him!"

The man in black gave an order, and all the men in black actually aimed their arrows at Fu Mo. However, just when An Tingyu wanted to tell him to be careful, the arrows did not fly towards Fu Mo, but suddenly changed direction and pointed at Long Xunyi...

"careful--"

An Tingyu screamed and rushed towards Long Xunyi without hesitation, but she had just taken the antidote and the effect of the drug was still in her body. She wanted to protect the poisoned Long Xunyi, but she could only fall on Long Xunyi, and just happened to block the arrow for him.

"Yu'er!"

In that thrilling scene, Feng Beijian and Fu Mo flew towards An Tingyu at the same time. Feng Beijian was already injured, so he only had time to move when he saw Fu Mo taking an arrow for An Tingyu.

"Help! Someone come quickly! There's an assassin!" Feng Beijian shouted loudly after coming back to his senses.

Feng Beijian's voice alarmed the imperial guards patrolling outside the palace, who rushed in soon and started fighting with the men in black.

"Fu Mo? Uncle..." An Tingyu quickly got up from Long Xunyi's body and supported Fu Mo. "Uncle, how are you?"

An Tingyu hurried to check on him, but when she saw him, she bit her lip tightly, her voice hoarse, "Uncle..."

The arrow hit Fu Mo right in the heart and he died.

Fu Mo had a gentle smile on his face. He slowly raised his hand and stroked her cheek. "I still prefer you to call me Fu Mo, uncle... Uncle makes me look too old. I'm not that old."

"Don't talk anymore. I will perform surgery on you right away. I will definitely save you. I will definitely..." An Tingyu's tears fell drop by drop, and suddenly they were like a flood. She wanted to stop them but couldn't.

"Don't cry!" Fu Mo wiped her tears with his thumb. "You're just like your mother. You look best when you smile."

"It's already this time, and you're still talking about whether it's good-looking or not? Why are you so annoying? You always make people feel confused. You really have a lot of problems." An Tingyu didn't know whether she was complaining or didn't know what to say, so she just talked nonsense.
