The sudden voice made the two people in the room change their expressions.
Mo Yun? When did he come?
"Greetings to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and reign forever!"
Mo Yun nodded indifferently. "Well, withdraw."
"Yes!"
After the maid left, Mo Yun's gaze finally fell on Queen Qi and Mo Litian. There was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes. "What's going on between you two mother and son?"
Queen Qi felt quite uneasy. She didn't know how much of their argument Mo Yun had heard.
Mo Litian was even more confused. One was his father and the other was his mother. He didn't want the two of them to turn against each other.
But what his mother had done was truly treasonous!
As the mother and son remained silent, a flash of irritation passed through Mo Yun's eyes.
Queen Qi had been by Mo Yun's side for many years after all. Immediately, a smile curled up on her face. She softly said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. It's not a big deal. It's just about Miss Liu. This child is really infatuated, but forced love never lasts. I still understand this truth."
Mo Litian pursed his lips and lowered his head, making it hard to tell what was on his mind. Only today did he realize how good his mother's acting skills were!
Hearing the name Liu Rumei, Mo Yun's face instantly darkened. He coldly said to Mo Litian who was kneeling on the ground, "There are millions of women in the world. You can marry anyone you like, except Liu Rumei!"
She was just a low - class woman. He had thought highly of her when he arranged for her to marry Mo Litian. Who would have thought that she would humiliate him in public!
Since she pretended to be high - minded, she would never be able to marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion!
Moreover, she lived in the Prince Guoan's Mansion. It was obvious to everyone that there was an affair between her and Mo Liandi. They probably had done everything they shouldn't have.
An impure woman would never be allowed to marry into the royal family!
Mo Litian was slightly stunned and then quickly understood. A bitter smile curled up on his lips. "Father, Miss Liu didn't do it on purpose that day."
She just didn't like him.
Mo Yun still snorted. "Anyway, your Crown Princess will never be her. Since you want to get married, discuss it with your mother. She will surely pick a beautiful Crown Princess for you."
As the heir to the throne, how could he be influenced by love affairs?
A cold glint flashed in Mo Yun's eyes. It seemed that Liu Rumei couldn't be kept alive.
Queen Qi saw Mo Yun's expression and a flash of joy passed through her eyes. With him taking action, she could save a lot of effort.
She really wanted to see how important this woman was in Mo Liandi's heart.
Mo Litian clenched his fists tightly. He bowed respectfully to Mo Yun. "Please forgive me, Father. I don't want to get married for the time being."
Mo Yun's expression instantly turned cold. A woman had bewitched him to such an extent. How could he take on important responsibilities?
Queen Qi also sighed deeply. There was a gentle smile on her face. She leaned against Mo Yun. "Your Majesty, since the Crown Prince is not willing, don't force him. I believe he will understand Your Majesty's good intentions."
Mo Yun snorted and glanced at Mo Litian indifferently. "I hope so."
Queen Qi immediately winked at Mo Litian. Mo Litian was her only support. She would protect him no matter what.
Mo Litian pursed his lips and bowed to them again. "It's getting late. I'll take my leave."
After all, he couldn't bear to make his mother embarrassed.
After returning to the Crown Prince's Mansion, Mo Litian tossed and turned in bed. His eyes were full of complexity.
It was the first time he drowned his sorrows in wine. Sitting in the courtyard, looking at the full moon in the sky, his eyes were full of endless mockery.
...
The rumors in the capital were becoming more and more serious. Especially after Xue Zhan was injured, there were all kinds of speculations.
"Maybe Liu Rumei has come up with some new tricks?"
"With the Prince Guoan around, even Lord Xue might not dare to compete with him."
"You're wrong. Lord Xue is on the side of the Prince Guoan. He has some shady relationship with that witch. Maybe he just wanted to help."
"Yes. Since Lord Xue is injured, this matter will have to be postponed."
"Have you heard? Heng Niang is hiding in the Prince Guoan's Mansion!"
"The Prince actually wants to deceive the public for that witch. Her methods are really powerful!"
"I heard that the Crown Prince was scolded by His Majesty because of that witch yesterday. Tsk tsk..."
"How does Liu Rumei have such means? Maybe she's really good in bed?"
"It's possible. I wonder if we'll have a chance after the Prince Guoan gets tired of her..."
...
The men smiled lewdly. Their eyes were full of lust.
But the next moment, a sharp pain came from their foreheads. "Who hit me?"
They turned around and saw a cute little boy standing not far away. He was holding a pebble in his hand and threw it at them.
One of the men was hit right on the head and let out a howl. "Damn it, you're looking for death!"
Seeing the man striding towards him, the little boy showed no sign of fear in his eyes. There was only endless coldness. "If I hear another bad word about Liu Liu from your mouth, do you believe I'll take your life?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. The man burst out laughing. "Take my life? Stinky kid, have you ever killed anyone?"
A kid like this probably hadn't even killed a chicken!
Yun Xi's coldness deepened. It was like ice stabbing at the man. "I mean what I say!"
A bunch of ignorant people dared to slander Liu Liu like this!
The man was suddenly scared by the coldness. For a moment, he couldn't say a word. Somehow, he believed what Yun Xi had just said.
Yun Li heard the noise and rushed over. A flash of helplessness passed through his eyes. "Xiaoxi, it's time for us to go back."
Otherwise, their sister might be worried.
Yun Xi took the pastries from his arms and angrily stuffed them into his mouth. Then he followed Yun Li away.
"Is this... the younger brother of Liu Rumei?"
"It's a pity for these two kids. They actually have such a cruel sister."
"I don't think so. They say birds of a feather flock together. Didn't you hear what that kid said just now? This kid will surely be a cruel person when he grows up!"
"You're right!"
"So young... It's a pity, a pity!"
...
After returning to the Prince Guoan's Mansion, Liu Rumei saw the angry Yun Xi. She couldn't help but shake her head helplessly. She softly said, "There are so many people in the capital. If you care about what everyone says, aren't you just asking for trouble?"
One should live a free and happy life. Why be so particular about these things? Besides, being gossiped about won't make you lose a piece of flesh. It's just idle talk!
Yun Li nodded seriously. "Sister is right. However, those people should be taught a lesson!"
