Mo Liandi fell into silence. The chill around him instantly intensified, and a hint of coldness tinged his eyes. The hand holding the wine cup turned slightly pale. "I will save her," he murmured, as if talking to himself, with a touch of bitterness.
Mo Litian pursed his lips and said no more. He knew he couldn't do much for her. He closed his eyes, recalling the moment when she suddenly appeared in his sight, catching him off guard.
If only he could have met her earlier!
"I'm here today to repay a favor, but if you think you can make me stop, you're wrong," Mo Liandi said. This was what Mo Yun owed him, and he would surely get it back.
However...
A hint of mockery flashed in Mo Litian's eyes. "Do as you like. I don't want to get involved anymore."
He didn't care who would eventually get that position.
After Mo Liandi left, Mo Litian, under the influence of alcohol, came to the door of the Cold Palace. Looking at the cold and desolate palace, he felt a sudden rush of timidity. He stood there for a long time before finally stepping inside.
The dim room had no candles. Only the moonlight shining through the window allowed one to vaguely see the situation inside.
At this moment, a disheveled woman was huddled in the corner, her eyes full of panic.
A black rat swaggered past her. The woman suddenly shrank back and instinctively moved further into the corner.
In front of her was a broken bowl. The rat rummaged through the bowl but finally left disappointed.
Mo Litian felt a pang in his heart. He stepped forward, but the word "Empress Dowager" just couldn't come out of his mouth.
The Queen Qi in front of him no longer had her former noble appearance. She was like a withered peony that had lost its moisture and completely fallen out of the flower bed.
Her once charming face now looked a bit older and sallow.
Finally, Queen Qi broke the silence. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "My son, why are you here? Are you here to save me?"
She really couldn't stay here for a moment longer. Falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden, the bitterness in between was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Mo Litian in front of her had become her only straw to clutch at!
Mo Litian's heart was in a complete mess. He squatted down, shook his head, and said softly, "I'm leaving."
This place made him feel suffocated. He didn't know who was right and who was wrong. It was true that the woman in front of him had killed his mother, but it was also she who had raised him and given him a lofty status.
He couldn't forget the hatred of his mother's murder, but he just couldn't hate the woman in front of him.
He knew that every step she took was for his sake, but he...
"I don't want that position. I know my mother was Lianyi. You and the Emperor killed her. I should hate you, but I can't. Empress Dowager, this is the last time I'll call you that, and the last time I'll see you. If you want to leave, I can help you."
This was to repay her for the grace of nurturing.
From then on, they would have nothing to do with each other.
Queen Qi was slightly stunned, her eyes full of disbelief. "How could you possibly know?"
She had handled the matter from that year cleanly. How could he know?
"Did Mo Yun tell you? No... It's impossible. He wouldn't tell you..."
She quickly grabbed Mo Litian's sleeve. There was a hint of pleading in her eyes. "My son, you can't leave your mother! I'm your real mother. You're my child. They're all lying to you! Only I'm doing this for your own good. That position can only be yours!"
She couldn't imagine that once Mo Litian left, all her efforts would be in vain!
How could he leave?
A bitter smile appeared on Mo Litian's lips. "I don't want to fight for it. I don't want the throne either. If you want to leave, send someone to tell me before dawn."
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and immediately turned around and left.
Queen Qi watched his departing back with panic in her eyes. "Come back!"
She had schemed for most of her life. How could it end like this?
"Stop for me!"
Without Mo Litian, what could she use to compete with them?
However, Mo Litian didn't stop. His eyes were full of coldness.
It wasn't until he stepped out of the Cold Palace that Mo Litian finally let out a sigh of relief. He went back to the Eastern Palace on his own, picked up the wine cup on the side, and his eyes were full of bitterness.
At this moment.
In the imperial study.
Mo Yun's eyes were full of malice. A mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Want to leave?"
So many people were desperate for this position, but he said he didn't want it? Did he really think he could just leave the palace whenever he wanted?
Thinking of this, Mo Yun's eyes were full of coldness. "Since he doesn't want it, there's no need to keep him."
However, soon he seemed to remember something. A cold light flashed through his eyes. "Send someone to follow him."
Did he really not want it? He didn't believe that there was really someone in this world who could resist such a temptation.
He had kept the Qi family around for long enough.
The man bowed respectfully. "Yes."
"Bai Haoyu has been stopped. What should we do with him?"
Mo Yun sneered coldly. "Keep him. Give Bai Hanfei a warning!"
Once one got on his boat, there was no turning back! What an old fox!
"Yes!"
Soon, a jade pendant appeared on Bai Hanfei's desk in the Bai Mansion.
Under the jade pendant was a piece of bright yellow cloth.
Bai Hanfei's eyes were slightly red, full of anger. He tightly held the jade pendant in one hand, looking completely dejected.
...
The scorching sun shone brightly, but instead of feeling hot, there was a gentle warmth on people's bodies.
Mo Liandi wrapped the cloak beside him around the beauty in his arms. Looking at Liu Rumei's emaciated face, he was full of worry.
However, there was no sign of it on his face. His eyes were full of tenderness.
Liu Rumei was already drowsy but still forced herself to stay awake, snuggling in his arms.
Sixi beside them was full of worry. Miss Liu had been waking up for less and less time these days. Why hadn't that person come up with a solution yet?
In a daze, she finally couldn't resist the drowsiness and closed her eyes.
Mo Liandi felt the coldness of the person in his arms and was suddenly shocked. He lowered his head and saw that the originally pale face was now blue and black.
"Liu Liu..."
He instinctively hugged her tightly. With trembling hands, he took out the medicine given by Ye Lin from his bosom, but not a single pill came out. Fear instantly swept through his heart.
"Bring Ye Lin here!"
Sixi was also in a panic. He quickly ran outside. Weren't they saying there were still a few days? Why did this happen?
"Why did it break out earlier?" He had no confidence in the blood transfusion method at all! What should he do?
Mo Liandi tightly hugged the beauty in his arms, his eyes full of bone-chilling coldness. "Save her for me!"
