Qi Jingling remained expressionless and silent, simply sitting quietly on the dragon throne and watching the scene below.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Mo Shisheng turned around and went down the steps. She walked briskly to Ming Beiya's side and stood close to him, secretly reaching out to slip her hand into the man's dry, warm palm.
Ming Beiya raised an eyebrow, glanced down at Mo Shisheng's restless paws, and curled his crimson lips into a slight smile as he tightened his grip on her hand.
Their hands were hidden by the wide sleeves, so no one but themselves could see their clasped hands.
Mo Shisheng's gaze gently fell on Qi Yujin. She suddenly remembered that she had rarely seen Qi Yujin since Shangguan Qi's death.
Therefore, when Qi Yujin suddenly proposed to go on an expedition with her to lead troops, she did not think that Qi Jingling would agree.
Qi Yujin is the Empress's son, and logically, he should be the most likely to inherit the throne. However, Qi Jingling has never hidden his desire to cultivate Qi Yufeng, who happens to be a carefree person.
Since he wasn't interested in the throne and power, Qi Jingling couldn't force him. Therefore, he would definitely place his hopes on Qi Yujin.
If Qi Yujin also leaves the capital...
That……
“Father, since my third brother wants to go out and lead troops for training, it also proves that he wants to serve the Qi Kingdom. This is a good thing.”
Just as Mo Shisheng thought of Qi Yuhan, he uttered these words.
After saying that, Mo Shisheng chuckled softly.
The man squeezed her hand and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at Qi Yuhan for being a fool."
Mo Shisheng spoke in a soft, gentle voice, in a tone only the two of them could hear, "His eagerness to push Qi Yujin away is too obvious; his wolfish ambitions are all too clear."
Sure enough, after Qi Yuhan said those words, Qi Jingling's expression turned cold and sullen, and his gaze fell on Qi Yuhan without revealing whether he was happy or angry.
Qi Yuhan naturally noticed this as well, and he quickly lowered his eyes, "If Father Emperor does not agree, then it would be better to let Third Brother stay in the capital."
Seeing this scene, Mo Shisheng merely watched coldly.
From a certain perspective, Qi Yuhan was also a pitiful person. His mother was a lowly servant who became pregnant with him after Qi Jingling got drunk one time.
After the maid gave birth to him, she was beaten to death.
After that, Qi Yuhan was adopted by the Empress and raised. He was only eighteen years old, but he was heavy-hearted and cautious at every step.
Mo Shisheng couldn't help but narrow her eyes and think back to the modern era. At eighteen, she was just coming of age, the most beautiful age of her life. In this world of power, she seemed pitiful and frail.
Mo Shisheng had no desire to stay in the Golden Palace any longer, so she pulled Ming Beiya and turned to leave.
Stepping outside the palace gates, I took a deep breath of the fresh air. "It's so much better to be free. This palace may be a bit more luxurious, but isn't it just a cage?"
Hearing the girl's sigh, Ming Beiya suddenly stretched out his long arm and pulled her soft waist into his arms.
Mo Shisheng was slightly taken aback. She looked up at Ming Beiya with a hint of confusion in her eyes. Coupled with her beautiful makeup, it made Ming Beiya's heart melt completely.
He reached out and pinched Mo Shisheng's cheek. "Didn't I tell you to stay at the Imperial Preceptor's residence? Who told you to run away?"
