Qin Mo smiled casually and persuaded Aiya to stop, then picked up another letter, and her expression turned cold as she read it.
"Your Highness, has something urgent happened at home?"
"...No, it's just a rumor..."
Qin Mo casually tossed the letter into the small stove for brewing tea, where it turned into clusters of red flames, exactly the same color as the flames in his chest at that moment.
In the Fengning Hall of the Great Xia Imperial Palace, Wang Yushi was practicing her sword. Her fluid and graceful sword movements showed that her sword intent had reached a high level, and she was just waiting for the moment of rebirth.
Wang Yushi's sword suddenly stopped. She frowned slightly and looked outside the palace. There was a group of people walking towards Fengning Palace, but it was not Emperor Zhaowu.
"Could it be that Uncle has sent a different messenger again?"
A few days ago, Wang Yushi's uncle, Wang Xuanji, sent her a letter through someone, mentioning many things about her mother, Xu, and Qin Mo, which brightened Wang Yushi's gloomy mood for many days.
She knew how troublesome it was to send a letter to her now, so she was surprised that another letter had arrived so quickly, and Wang Yushi's mood improved again.
The palace doors opened, and Wang Yushi frowned. The person who came hadn't knocked, so they obviously weren't delivering a message. Who was she then?
Wang Yushi watched as a smiling face approached, stopping only when it was about ten feet away from her.

The newcomer smiled without saying a word. Behind her were two palace maids. One of the maids slightly squatted and bowed, then said, "Your Majesty, this is Consort Liu, whom His Majesty has just conferred the title of Noble Consort."
Wang Yushi narrowed her phoenix eyes, and a murderous aura filled the hall.
Even if I'm reflecting on my mistakes in seclusion, I'm still the Empress. How dare a mere Consort put on airs with the Empress? It's laughable.
Consort Liu turned pale, stunned by Wang Yushi's murderous aura. She touched her lower abdomen with both hands and said to Wang Yushi, "I...I'm pregnant...you...can't touch me!"
Wang Yushi's momentum suddenly faltered and then slowly dissipated. It wasn't that she was afraid of Consort Liu in front of her; she was just remembering the many stories Qin Mo had told her when they fled across the snowy plains on Qin Mo's back.
"Is this... going to be a palace intrigue?"
