Chapter 172 Bringing up a sore spot
"In the middle of the night, has the Regent entered the wrong room?" Her eyebrows rose high, the force in her hand disappeared, and with a flick of her wrist, she withdrew her inner strength. She turned to look at Mo Linyuan, who was climbing over her wall as casually as if he were walking on his own road.
Mo Linyuan raised an eyebrow, the words of greeting he wanted to say were swallowed back, and he walked to the soft couch opposite Feng Qingge and sat down casually, "I heard you were under house arrest, so I came to see you."
He really knew how to rub salt in the wound. Sure enough, Feng Qingge got angry. "The Regent has seen it. Can we go back now?" She was confined to her quarters because of his arrogant words in the main hall that day. Humph, now he's pretending to be a good person. She's not stupid.
"Qingge, stop fooling around." Shaking his head, he was quite helpless. Seeing that she wanted to send him away, Mo Linyuan became serious. "Today, I came to discuss with you the events that happened in the capital, but I was stopped by Prime Minister Feng before I even entered the door. So I had no choice but to come quietly after nightfall." He didn't want to disturb anyone, especially Feng Cang.
"Pfft—" Feng Qingge burst out laughing. She never knew her father could be so domineering. In Feng Cang's mind, the emperor and the subject were always the same. For him to abandon his old-fashioned ways, he must be serious this time.
However, just imagining Mo Linyuan being prevented from entering her house and even being kicked out is absolutely hilarious.
Helpless, Mo Linyuan could only wait for her to finish laughing, as if his authority was completely useless in front of Feng Qingge.
"You must have heard about what has happened in the capital recently. What are your thoughts on this?" Getting back to the main topic, Mo Linyuan believed that, given her personality, she probably wouldn't stay obediently at home; she would definitely want to know what was happening outside.
He guessed correctly and understood Feng Qingge's personality perfectly, knowing that she wouldn't just coast along.
"I have many ideas, but I won't make any comments until I've seen it with my own eyes." Shrugging and spreading her hands, Feng Qingge was completely in the dark right now, so she had to see it before she could have any ideas.
"You mean, this is also an unusual phenomenon?" Whether it's ghosts or demons, these are all unusual phenomena, and Mo Linyuan had already thought so. After all, those corpses were very strange, so this was the only way to think about it.
Feng Qingge raised an eyebrow, her exquisite features exuding a captivating charm. "I've said it before, I won't offer any opinions if I haven't seen it." She remained steadfast in this stance, even though she leaned towards the idea that ghosts were responsible.
“Then there’s nothing we can do.” Mo Linyuan’s cold features carried a deep sense of indifference. His brows furrowed slightly. He knew Feng Cang’s personality well, and he was sure that the confinement order wouldn’t be lifted so easily.
“Why not? We can meet on the street tomorrow night, and I’ll go with you.” Feng Qingge was bored enough, and now that something interesting had finally come up, how could she possibly refuse?
Besides, she was quite interested when Qi Quan mentioned it before, and now that Mo Linyuan has invited her, she'll definitely go.
Furthermore, Feng Qingge would not tell anyone that she had long planned to sneak out.
"This is a great idea," Mo Linyuan nodded in agreement. "By nightfall, Feng Cang will definitely not find out."
So, after the two agreed on the time to meet the next day, Mo Linyuan took his leave, just as he had when he arrived.
Leaping across rooftops and scaling walls was second nature to him; in a flash, Mo Linyuan left the Prime Minister's residence without anyone noticing.
