After a long silence, Emperor Zhaojing said, "Xingxiu, I know you are still resentful about your mother's death. It was all Situ Jin's fault. Now that you have killed your enemy, do you think you can let Feng Mo go? He was unaware of the evil deeds Situ Jin committed."
Xie Jingrun already knew why his father had summoned him.
Therefore, it wasn't so surprising to hear what he said.
But I couldn't help but ask in return, "If I let him go, do you think he'll let me go?"
Emperor Zhaojing said somewhat anxiously, "He can be detained in Xuzhou and not allowed to step out of Xuzhou."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun chuckled, "Does Father Emperor think he would be so obedient? After all, I personally killed Situ Jin."
Emperor Zhaojing conceded a step, "Or should we place him under house arrest in the capital?"
Xie Jingrun knew that his father had an almost obsessive love for him because of his mother's relationship with the emperor. Even if Situ Jin was bad, Feng Mo was still his son.
In addition, the Emperor always felt indebted to Feng Mo, so how could he sit idly by and watch his son persecute Feng Mo?
He can't give it up.
Xie Jingrun closed his eyes briefly. "Then let's do as Father says and let him return to Xuzhou!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaojing visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "I thank you on behalf of Feng Mo."
Xie Jingrun twitched the corner of his mouth.
After leaving Taichen Palace, Xie Jingrun did not return directly to Yuxian Palace, but instead went to the Imperial Study.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, he immediately ordered, "Set up an ambush on the road to Xuzhou and kill Feng Mo at all costs!"
Nagabayashi Ichirin said, "I will make the arrangements immediately."
"Don't let the Emperor Emeritus know about this," Xie Jingrun instructed.
"Understood." After saying that, Changlin went to carry out the order.
Xie Jingrun stayed in the Imperial Study for a while before returning to Yuxian Palace as if nothing had happened.
When he returned, Rong Qingqing was still sleeping.
Perhaps because she had been too restless last night, she was fast asleep. He sat down by the bed without her noticing.
Xie Jingrun looked at the woman curled up in the blanket and a smile appeared on his face.
She had delicate features, small face, and fair skin. When her black hair was loose, her face looked even smaller.
Rong Qingqing was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt an itch on her face.
She tried to dodge, but couldn't. She had no choice but to open her eyes, her little face showing annoyance at being disturbed from her sleep.
"Lazybones, it's almost dark, aren't you getting up?"
Xie Jingrun's smiling voice reached her ears, instantly dispelling Rong Qingqing's lingering sleepiness.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up.
"You're the pig..."
She spoke with dissatisfaction, but then, remembering his status, her voice trailed off.
Xie Jingrun did not notice that his gaze fell on her shoulder, his eyes becoming somewhat deeper.
Rong Qingqing followed his gaze and noticed that her clothes were half-open, revealing her fair and rounded shoulders. Perhaps they had slipped down while she was sleeping. Her fair skin was covered with red marks, which, in the warm sunlight, could not inspire any fantasies...
Seeing this, her face flushed, and just as she was about to pull her clothes back up, the man leaned over and pressed down on her.
She was about to speak when he firmly sealed her mouth shut.
It was already dark when Xiao Tao came in, intending to wake Rong Qingqing. However, she was shocked to see such a sensual scene as soon as she stepped into the room and quickly retreated.
Xingchun, however, saw her blush and retreated, asking with some suspicion, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
