A leisurely life under house arrest

  A leisurely life of soft confinement

  Ye Li woke up from the darkness, only to feel a throbbing pain in her temples. Ye Li couldn't help but smile wryly, after all, she had underestimated him. Even though she knew Mo Jingqi was wary of the Dingguo King's palace, she was still certain that he wouldn't dare make a move on the Dingguo Queen in the imperial palace. But she hadn't expected Ye Yue to

  She didn't immediately open her eyes and get up, but instead lay quietly in bed for a while, making sure there was no one around before slowly opening her eyes.

  The situation seems to be much better than Yeli had originally expected, at least she was not locked up in some dark and damp prison cell, but rather in a room that looked quite well-decorated. The room was decorated in the style that young ladies from the capital liked best, with all sorts of furnishings inside

  It's luxurious and elegant. Even the windows are pasted with the favorite smoked glass of the imperial concubines. Ye Li sat up, leaning against the bedpost with a somewhat helpless bitter smile. Her body was soft and weak, it seemed that Ye Yue had indeed used some formidable poison. No wonder the other side dared to put her in this place.

  In a completely unguarded room, there wasn't even a single guard. It was certain that with her current weak body, she would have difficulty even walking to the door by herself.

  The screen door outside was pushed open with a creak, and a green-clad girl walked in carrying something. Seeing Ye Li sitting on the edge of the bed, she smiled in surprise: "Miss, you're finally up!"

  Ye Li looked at her, slightly furrowing her brow, "What is this place? How long have I slept?"

  The green-clothed girl put the things in her hand on the side table, smiled and said: "Miss has been sleeping for more than two days. Miss hasn't eaten for two days, she must be hungry, Xiaoyun has prepared some porridge, does miss want to have some first?" Ye Li looked calmly at the girl's nimble movements

  A bowl of fragrant rice porridge was placed in front of Ye Li. Ye Li raised her hand and arched an eyebrow, saying: "How am I supposed to eat like this?" She could still sit up only because she was leaning against the bedpost, and even lifting her hand felt extremely exhausting, so how was she supposed to hold a bowl

  Eat from your own bowl? The green-clothed girl smiled apologetically at Yeli and said: It's Xiaoyun who forgot, let Xiaoyun feed the young lady.

  Ye Li lowered her eyelids and said softly: It's a lot of trouble for you, miss.

  Xiao Yun was just a servant girl, there was no need for Miss to be so polite. The servant girl called Xiao Yun smiled quietly and kindly, holding the porridge and sitting on Ye Li's bedside carefully feeding her. Although she wasn't happy about being treated like a seriously ill person serving Ye Li, she wouldn't mistreat herself either.

  It's his own fault. He went hungry for two days just to save face and didn't eat, it's himself who is suffering. As for this so-called servant girl, if she was just an ordinary servant girl, then she would be an idiot.

  After dinner, Ye Li's strength still hadn't recovered. Xiao Yun called in a maid to collect the bowls and chopsticks and leave, but she herself stayed behind, pacing back and forth in the room, busy with nothing in particular. Ye Li gazed at her, seemingly busy but actually doing nothing, and said faintly:

  If nothing's wrong, you can find a place to sit down by yourself, I'm getting dizzy from all the walking. Xiaoyun didn't show any signs of embarrassment at being found out and chuckled: Our young master is worried that the miss will be bored alone, so he wants me to keep her company. Ye Li smiled lightly: Your young master has a kind heart

  Thank him for me. Xiaoyun nodded and blinked her eyes coquettishly, saying: When the young lady says so, the young master will definitely be very happy.

  Ye Li smiled faintly and remained silent, quietly leaning against the headboard listening to Xiao Yun's chatter about trivial matters without interrupting or asking too many questions. This Xiao Yun was definitely well-trained, it wasn't easy to get her to reveal anything, on the contrary, it would only make her more vigilant. Since now

  Still powerless to act, Ye Li also didn't bother with it anymore.

  After staying in the house for two days, Xiaoyun saw that the hidden vigilance and defense in Yeli's eyes had dissipated a bit. After breakfast, Yeli asked casually: I want to go out for a walk, is it okay? Having lain in bed for two days, I feel like I'm going to stiffen up.

  Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment before agreeing and called over two little maids to support Ye Li as they went for a stroll in the garden.

  Two days later, Ye Li finally stepped out of the house. She couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air, and her somewhat gloomy mood suddenly improved a lot. With two little maids supporting her, she walked in the small garden, Ye Li casually glanced around the courtyard.

  It's not big, looking at the tender buds that have just sprouted on the tree tops exposed above the wall, Ye Li smiled and said, "Let's go sit in the garden for a while." Aren't you young masters around? Ye Li pointed to the stone table and chairs in front, two little maids who had obviously been instructed beforehand

  Obediently accepting Yeli's instructions, she was helped to sit down at the edge of the stone table, but refused to open her mouth to answer her questions. Yeli didn't mind this either, and with a good mood, leaned against the table to admire the flowers in the garden.

  It's just early spring, and there isn't the vibrant scene of a hundred flowers blooming yet. The north is even colder than the south, and many plants have only just begun to sprout new buds. Ye Li seems to be gazing curiously at the small patch of yellow flowers that are blooming in the flowerbed closest to her. She bends down

  Just as she was about to reach out and pick it, a slender hand that had always been cool grasped hers. Ye Li raised her head to look at Xiao Yun who suddenly appeared in front of her, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

  Xiao Yun smiled and said: Miss, this little flower looks nice, but it's actually poisonous. So, you'd better not touch it.

  Ye Li frowned, looking at the small flower bud and said: I think this is the only flower that has bloomed in the entire garden. Although it doesn't look impressive, it's actually quite elegant, but surprisingly, it's poisonous.

  Xiao Yun smiled slightly proudly: Sometimes the more inconspicuous flowers are the most poisonous. Compared to those bright and eye-catching ones that make people wary at first glance, these inconspicuous flowers are the real treasures. Ye Li shook her head with a smile: Poisonous flowers and plants

  What a treasure. If Miss Xiaoyun likes flowers, I have raised several pots of top-grade orchids in my mansion, and this time is just the right time for them to bloom. I can send one pot to Xiaoyun. A strange light flashed through Xiaoyun's eyes, and she smiled at Ye Lili: Xiaoyun had forgotten, Miss's identity

  Noble, naturally look down on these inconspicuous things. However, the flowers and grasses in this courtyard are somewhat dangerous. If the young lady likes it, Xiaoyun will let someone replace the flowers and grasses in this courtyard with those that the young lady likes tomorrow.

  "It's not necessary. Rare flowers and grasses have their own unique beauty, ordinary flowers and grasses also have their own charm. Besides, I don't plan to stay here for long, so it's no need to bother tidying up the garden."

  Xiao Yun smiled and said: "The young master has ordered us servants to take good care of the young lady. Whatever the young lady likes, just tell Xiao Yun and it will be done. If the young master finds out that the young lady is not comfortable, we servants will be in trouble."

  Ye Li Mei's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said: "Although I haven't met your young master, thank you for his kindness. Since that's the case... originally my husband and I had planned to go see the peach blossoms together this year, but now it seems we won't be able to make it. Would it be possible to trouble you, miss, to wait until the peach blossoms are in full bloom?"

  Will you pick a few branches for me to bring back? Xiaoyun obviously didn't think that Yeli's request would be so simple, and smiled generously: Of course, Xiaoyun promises to let the young lady see this year's earliest blooming peach blossoms. What else does the young lady need Xiaoyun to have someone bring back together?

  Yun promised to meet her requirements, and Ye Li's smile seemed more genuine as she smiled and said: If possible, bring back some more lip gloss for me. I want the best lip gloss from the best shop in Beijing, with a jasmine fragrance.

  Jasmine? Xiaoyun was taken aback, and Yeli smiled slightly apologetically: This is a relatively ordinary one, but I really like this flavor. Sorry to trouble you, Miss Xiaoyun.

  Xiao Yun shook her head and said: No, whatever Miss wants, Xiao Yun will definitely get it done for Miss.

  Ye Li smiled and said: Then I'll have to trouble you, miss.

  Watching Xiaoyun leave, Ye Li leaned against the stone table, breathing in the fresh air. Her smiling eyes fell on the flowers that still looked a bit withered in the flower bed, and the smile in her eyes became even more joyful.

  In the study of the imperial palace

  Mo Xiuyao gazed calmly at the unfolded scrolls in front of him, then looked up and asked Feng Zhiyao, who was standing beside him, "Is there any news from the palace?"

  Feng Zhiyao's expression turned serious: "The people in the palace have already investigated the Jade Flower Palace. The Jade Flower Palace was newly built during the previous emperor's reign and doesn't have any secret passages. However, the lotus pond inside the Jade Flower Palace wasn't man-made, it's connected to the river in the palace. The Dark Guards suspect that the princess was taken away by someone through the water. And...it should be before the fire started at the Jade Flower Palace."

  Anything else?

  There were also the bodies of Ye Zhaoyi and the Sixth Prince, although they had been burned beyond recognition. However, the dark guards who secretly inspected them were certain that the female corpse was not Ye Zhaoyi. As for the Sixth Prince... if Ye Zhaoyi was fake, then the Sixth Prince was probably still alive too.

  Mo Xiuyao sneered, very well, two people died in the palace, and five people including Ye Zhaoyi and the Sixth Prince went missing. And yet, the secret guards of the Dingguo King's Mansion knew nothing about it.

  Feng Zhiyao sighed helplessly in her heart, ever since the princess disappeared, the prince's aura had become increasingly frightening. Just a few light words and not even half a thread of anger was visible, but those who heard it couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine. No wonder others didn't dare to come in, pushing him to come in and suffer. What was going on with those people in the capital?

  Mo Jing Qi's people were secretly searching everywhere, but he didn't know the whereabouts of the princess either. Mo Jing Li did nothing and returned to his residence directly after leaving the palace that day, doing what he normally did these past few days. The others also had no movements, and there was no suspicious person entering or exiting the capital recently. Ye Li seemed to have vanished into thin air without a trace. Feng Zhi Yao was also helpless, who would have thought that someone would dare to set fire to the palace and kidnap Princess Dingguo? The incident happened too suddenly, when they wanted to look for clues, all useful clues had already disappeared.

  Ye Yue, if she's not dead yet, must still be in the imperial palace. Within three days, I want to see her. The imperial palace hiding an adult may not be difficult, but a baby who doesn't understand anything is not that easy to hide. Mo Xiu Yao said in a low voice.

  Understood. Feng Zhi Yao bowed respectfully and accepted the order, hesitating for a moment before speaking: There's one more thing... The dark guards by the side of the princess, An Yi, An Er, An San, and An Si have all gone missing.

  Mo Xiuyao was taken aback and lost her voice?

  Feng Zhiyao nodded and said: It's been two days since the princess disappeared, they were punished by the leader of the dark guards because the princess has not been found yet. But today early in the morning, it was discovered that all four of them had gone missing. Mo Xiuyao furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying: Don't worry about them for now.

  Yes.

  A certain secluded courtyard on the outskirts of Chu Jing

  Ye Li sat listlessly on the edge of the flowerbed, staring blankly at the peach tree that had just been planted. Her two maids, who were probably mute, stood not far away, waiting for her instructions. She poked at a flower bud on the peach tree with her hand and then played with the nearby flowers. It had been five days since she arrived at this place, and as expected, everything was taken care of meticulously, just like Xiao Yun said. However, Xiao Yun's maid insisted on putting medicine in Ye Li's food every meal. The fact that she needed to put medicine in every meal meant that the effect of the medicine didn't last long. But Xiao Yun, who was well-versed in pharmacology, seemed unaware that there were people with extremely high resistance to poison. Maybe she knew, but she didn't think Ye Li was one of them. Although Ye Li's body wasn't as strong as it used to be after undergoing specialized anti-toxin training, she had still done some targeted training and conditioning since childhood, knowing that she would join the palace in the future.

  Xiaoyun and her behind-the-scenes master apparently did not intend to really harm her, so the following is a non-toxic drug that does no harm to the body. It was destined that the duration and effect of this medicine would be somewhat poor, but it was enough for ordinary people. Now Xiaoyun has at least half an hour of free action between each medication, but Ye Li did not rush to escape. Even if she usually only saw Xiaoyun and a few maids who refused to speak, she could still keenly discover that there were many people staring at her in secret. With her body just recovering from the effects of the medicine, it was probably a bit difficult for her to escape.

  Miss, I heard you didn't eat anything today. Is it because the servant's cooking wasn't good and didn't suit your taste? Xiaoyun appeared in the garden, looking at Yelü who was pulling out small weeds, her eyes twitching slightly. Miss... Yelü looked up, waving the wild grass in her hand: Are you talking about this? It grows here and will affect the growth of the peach trees, I'll pull it all out. Anyway, even if I'm idle, I'm still idle. Does Miss Xiaoyun have something to say?

  Xiao Yun looked at the wild grass on the ground with a tinge of heartache, and forced a smile: "Miss doesn't like it, I'll just have someone clean it up, how can I let Miss do it herself?" Xiao Yun also had someone prepare some snacks, would Miss like to have some more?

  Ye Li shook her head and sighed softly, "It's really quite dull here. I have nothing to do all day, how can I swallow my food? Can you please inform your young master that I've imposed on him for too long and it's time for me to take my leave?"

  Xiao Yun smiled quietly and said: "Young Master is not in the mansion now, Xiao Yun has a big temper but doesn't dare to slack off on Young Master's guests. So, if Miss wants to leave, she might have to wait for Young Master to return."

  I know. Ye Li said faintly, I haven't had much appetite these two days, so there's no need to eat snacks. Miss Xiaoyun can go and attend to her own business.

  Xiao Yun looked at Ye Li for a while, seemingly evaluating the truth of her words. Finally, she nodded and said: "Alright, if that's the case, I'll have someone send food over when you're hungry. When the young master returns, I'll immediately ask him to come see you." After bowing, Xiao Yun turned around and left. Ye Li watched her retreating back, a cold glint flashing in her eyes as she quickened her pace of pulling out grass.

  When Ye Li was about to clear out half of the flowerbed, Xiao Yun finally came with a face that couldn't smile anymore and asked Ye Li to go see her family's young master. Ye Li very decisively threw away the grass in her hand, patted off the dust on her hands, and let the two maidservants support her as she followed Xiao Yun. Ye Li was supported into an empty room not far from her own room, and as soon as she entered, she saw a tall figure sitting behind a semi-transparent screen. The two small maidservants helped her sit down in a chair and then retreated respectfully, Xiao Yun also gave Ye Li a resentful glance before retreating, and didn't forget to close the door on her way out. Ye Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, she had also guessed that Xiao Yun wouldn't be able to tolerate her for much longer. After all, if she was given two more days, she would have pulled out all of the precious wild grasses in Xiao Yun's courtyard.

  What's so funny? A low male voice came from behind the screen.

  Ye Li leaned against the chair, smiling brightly at the faint figure: When you're in a good mood, you just want to smile.

  How's your mood? Aren't you worried at all? Don't you want to know why you're here? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?

  Ye Li said lazily: "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already. Why waste our time? As for why I'm here...it's quite impressive that you were able to sneak me out of the palace without anyone noticing. The man seemed to be in a good mood and chuckled, saying: "Sneaking you out of the palace is nothing. You've been at the foot of the capital city for seven days now, but...neither your useless husband nor the high-ranking officials in the palace have found even a thread from your clothes, have they?" Ye Li shrugged and said: "Alright, I admit it, you do have some skills. And you were able to get Ye Yue to help you ambush me, so this time I don't feel like I was wronged."

  The man hummed softly and said, "Women from the Ye family, whether they look smart or stupid, all like to think they're right. It's not hard to get her help at all." Ye Li, when do you think the Imperial Palace will announce your death?

  Unless they see my corpse, the Imperial Palace will not announce my death. Ye Li said.

  Presumptuous woman! Do you think Mo Xiuyao values you that much? The man's voice was filled with anger.

  Ye Li didn't get angry, but her laughter became more playful and teasing. "Mo Xiuyao, does it seem like I'm looking at you with a heavy gaze or something? Don't you plan on coming out to see me? Or... did you disfigure yourself?" Mo Jingli.

  The person behind the screen seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the room fell silent for a while before bursting into a burst of laughter. The person behind the screen stood up, laughing: Ye Li, I really underestimated you all along. The man who walked out from behind the screen was tall and handsome, with a beautiful face that even when smiling gave people a sense of coldness - if it wasn't Mo Jingli, who else could it be?

  Ye Li sat up and looked at Mo Jingli with a faint gaze: "Don't most people in the capital always look down on Wang Ye?"

  Mo Jingli sneered and said: You're not surprised at all, it seems you're not one of the majority. Ye Li frowned slightly, looking at Mo Jingli and saying: Obviously I am also one of the majority, otherwise I wouldn't have provoked the prince earlier. Probably...I wouldn't be in this situation now. Mo Jingli snorted coldly, leaning in close to Ye Li with a condescending gaze, asking: Do you regret it? I told you before, going against me won't end well for you. Mo Xiuyao can't save you.

  Did the king give me a choice? Ye Li raised an eyebrow, in the king's heart, you regretting the marriage and ruining my reputation is a matter of course, and I finding a better place for myself is slapping the king's face? King Lei... who do you think you are?

  "Hmph! Mo Jingli turned and left, his eyes fixed on Ye Li with a fierce and overbearing gaze. Ye Li, you've always been good at provoking me!"

  Ye Li sighed and raised her soft hands, "Your Highness has been pretending to be mysterious for so long, shouldn't you tell me why I was brought here now?"

  When did you know my true identity? Mo Jing Lei didn't answer and instead asked back.

  Ye Li smiled and said: "There aren't many people in the capital who have a grudge against me, and even fewer who would dare to kidnap someone in the palace. And as for those who are willing to take this risk and actually succeed... I've thought about it carefully, and it seems like there's only one person who fits that description: Wang Ye." Mo Jing Lei surprisingly didn't show his usual short temper, and instead walked over to sit down on one side, looking at Ye Li with a seemingly leisurely expression. "How did you come to think that I would be willing to take this risk?" he asked. Ye Li replied calmly: "The Crown Princess of Ding Guo had an accident in the palace - whether or not it was the Emperor's doing, it's still the Emperor's responsibility. Even if the Ding Guo royal family doesn't cause trouble for the Emperor, I'm afraid the officials on court and the common people will have a very different evaluation of the Emperor. Isn't that right?"

  Mo Jingli's mood was quite good, and he raised his eyebrows, saying: Not bad, Emperor brother this time can be said to have lost both dignity and face. Do you think I don't know that Mo Xiuyao wants me to fight with my imperial brother so that he can take advantage of the situation? I'll let him make the first move, and since the Queen of Dingguo has gone missing in the palace, I don't believe he can still sit tight! You see... these past few days, he hasn't stopped causing trouble for Emperor brother.

  The king is very pleased?

  Shouldn't I be proud? Mo Jing Lei smiled and said, does Mo Xiu Yao think that I'm still the foolish kid who was played around by him when we were young? Now even if he knows it wasn't done by his imperial brother, what can he do about it? Even for the sake of preserving the reputation and face of the crown prince, he has to help me find trouble with the imperial brother. Ye Li raised an eyebrow: What if he finds out it was you, Your Highness?

  Do you think I will give him this opportunity?

  I think he's already suspicious of you now, Yelü thought silently to herself.

  You don't seem to be curious about what I plan to do with you? Mo Jing Lei raised an eyebrow and said. Ye Li looked up at him, using me to threaten Mo Xiu Yao? I think...I don't seem to be that important yet. Mo Jing Lei sized her up, nodding as he spoke: To be honest, I also have some doubts about your value in Mo Xiu Yao's heart. So, for the time being, I won't consider using you as a bargaining chip with Mo Xiu Yao. And...I suddenly thought of a more interesting method.

  Listen carefully. Ye Li looked at him with a lukewarm interest.

  Ye Li's dull reaction did not affect Mo Jing Lei's high spirits, his satisfied gaze swept over Ye Li's body in a circle. Mo Jing Lei narrowed his eyes and said: "The matter on the lake of Jiaren last time, this king still remembers it clearly. Actually, at that time, this king was just joking, but now...this king suddenly thinks it's not a bad idea. If one day the whole world knows that Mo Xiuyao's queen became this king's woman...what do you think will happen?" As if thinking of some beautiful prospect, Mo Jing Lei smiled smugly.

  When the time comes, you idiot will be killed by Mo Xi Yao...

  Ye Li had no doubt that Mo Xiuyao absolutely had the ability to wash away any shame inflicted upon him with his enemies' blood. If a person, in Mo Xiuyao's physical condition, after experiencing such desperation, could still persist and not be knocked down, and was being secretly manipulated, then he would absolutely achieve anything he wanted to do. Such a person was also the most terrifying enemy.

  Ye Li, don't you think this is a good opportunity? Mo Jing Lei gazed at Ye Li with a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if looking at a small cat trapped in a cage. Speaking of which, I'm starting to regret letting Mo Xiu Yao have you. But that's all your fault. If you hadn't pretended to be mediocre and deceived me, how could I have abandoned you to marry Ye Yin, that stupid woman who doesn't understand anything? Now isn't this just perfect? Everything is still the same as before, and you will still belong to me. As he spoke in a low voice, Mo Jing Lei's tall figure slowly leaned in towards Ye Li, making her appear even more weak and powerless.

  "Your Highness, I don't think you should do this." Yelü said in a soft voice, her tone clear and pleasant. Mo Jingli chuckled quietly: "I don't need your advice, just listen obediently and that's enough." Yelü, although you often make me unhappy, but as the king, I have plenty of reasons not to blame you. Yelü's smile was slightly cold, she raised her hand and slowly placed it on Mo Jingli's shoulder, a faint smile playing on her lips, her breath like orchids... so, I suppose if I do this, Your Highness won't be angry with me?

  Her slightly cool hand fell on Mo Jing Lei's neck, looking as if Ye Li was sitting in a chair with her arm around Mo Jing Lei's neck. However, this scene that should have been tender and loving somehow gave off a few hints of murderous intent. Mo Jing Lei felt extremely clearly that there was something sharp pressed against his neck, and it would only take a slight movement to slash him open. Ye Li smiled and said: I advise the prince not to make any sudden movements, I just pulled out quite a number of poisonous flowers and herbs in the garden. If by chance I accidentally slashed open the prince's noble neck, I wonder if that Miss Xiao Yun would be able to come and administer an antidote?

  Ye Li! Mo Jing Lei gritted his teeth and let out a low growl.

  Ye Li raised an eyebrow at him, waving one of her idle hands in front of him. Her well-maintained nails were long and hard, with a light layer of nail polish in the color of orchid. However, the edges revealed a faint, ominous dark blue. Ye Li, you've injured me, but you won't be able to escape either. Mo Jing Lei suppressed his anger, speaking calmly. Ye Li let out a helpless sigh, saying it as if injuring him would mean she'd be set free.

  Ye Li, let go of me now and I won't bother with you! Mo Jing Lei warned in a low voice.

  The slender fingers pressed down on the neck, successfully shutting Mo Jing Lei's mouth. Ye Li frowned and said: "Your Highness, I'm really tired of your self-righteous attitude, hoping this is our last encounter."

  Don't even think about it! Mu Jinglei sneered.

  Don't be foolish, maybe someone else can still make a bet with me to see who's faster. But I think you won't bet with me, because... you never wanted to die, you want to live on and achieve your ambition of being the king, right? Ye Li smiled.

  Mo Jing took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "What do you want?"

  Whatever. Yelü smiled faintly and snapped her fingers with her empty hand, one, two, three, four.

  See below for Princess Wang.

  The door was pushed open, and a figure flashed in quickly before closing the door again. Another figure floated silently down from the rooftop to the ground, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding Mo Jing Lei's rear, An Yi, An San, see Wang Fei.

  Yelü nodded in satisfaction, and there were two more?

  An San Dao: A Er A Si is outside.

  "When did you find me?" Ye Li asked.

  Yesterday afternoon.

  An Yi coughed lightly and asked, "Wang Fei, are you... going to let go of Li Wang first?" An San looked up at the roof, but he didn't see Wang Fei and Li Wang leaning intimately against each other.

  Ye Li raised an eyebrow, "Your Highness?"

  Mo Jingli coldly snorted and said: Let go.

  Ye Li let go of his hand nonchalantly, while being pointed at by two swords from behind. Believing that Mo Jing Lei hadn't gone mad yet, he knew how to choose. As soon as Ye Li's fingers left his neck, Mo Jing Lei immediately stood up and retreated to face An Yi and An San: "How did you get in?"

  He walked in and replied straightforwardly.

  Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes and began to reassess the strength of the two dark guards in front of him. He knew a thing or two about the dark guards of the Dingguo Wangfu, they were indeed extremely formidable individuals, but he had set up layers of defense around this courtyard, and yet four people had managed to sneak in silently...

  The princess now is... An Yi took a glance at his own unreliable brother and stepped forward to ask for instructions.

  Ye Li stood up and stretched: Inform An Er and An Si to leave. By the way, would you mind sending us off, Your Highness?

  Xiaoyun's medicine didn't work on you? Mo Jinglei stared at her, Ye Lian shook her head, it was effective, but the time effect had passed. She wouldn't tell him that she also used some wild grass from the garden to make an antidote, although it wasn't a complete cure, but so-called "soft tendon dispersal" wouldn't be much different anyway.

  Just now...

  Ye Li smiled and said to Mo Jing Lei: If you had made a careless move just now, I would have cut off your hands directly. As for this... don't worry, my hand is not poisonous. Do I not worry that I might accidentally scratch my own skin?

  Mo Jing Lei fell silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying: This time, I, the king, have lost!

  Actually, Your Highness doesn't have to be so concerned about gains and losses, I didn't win either. Now, would you like to...?

  Hmph!
