"Xiao Yue, where are you going? Can you take with you, please?"
Looking at the young boy’s eyes brimming with anticipation, Mu Ruyue found it impossible to voice her refusal and gently nodded: "Alright, let’s go together."
"Mhm."
Mo Xi’s smile beca even more captivating — in that instant, Mu Ruyue felt as if flowers were blooming all around her, their fragrance overwhelming...
However, once they arrived at the Ouyang Family’s quarters within the Imperial City, they had already been inford that the two of them had gone to the Imperial Palace, and Mu Ruyue didn’t wish to wait there, so she asked Yi Shaochen to take her into the palace.
Within the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor, the embodint of imperial dignity, now stood respectfully before two middle-aged n with an expression full of devotion and fear.
There was another man by his side.
This man bore so resemblance to Yi Shaochen, but his features were more delicate than Yi’s gentle appearance, his skin fairer than that of won, and his visage carried a femininity.
It truly was a sha for such a man not to be a woman.
Yet, his features seed sowhat frail, his complexion pale as if from overindulgence, clearly the image of a profligate.
Just then, a voice ca from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Prince Chen is here to seek an audience."
The Emperor frowned: "Let him in."
He had also heard the recent rumors, so naturally, his view of the short-sighted Empress had soured, and by extension, Yi Shaochen, her adopted son, wasn’t much to his liking either.
The door to the Imperial Study Room slowly opened, and several figures appeared in everyone’s view.
Yi Shaoxuan’s gaze moved from Yi Shaochen’s face and landed on Mu Ruyue, a trace of astonishnt flashing in his eyes.
He had seen this woman at the banquet before. But back then, there was a scar on her face that ruined her beauty, and now that scar had sohow vanished, presenting her beauty to him...
Mu Ruyue never cared much about her looks and hadn’t been in a hurry to restore them, but later she realized that if Wuchen saw the scar on her, he would inevitably be heartbroken. So in the end, she had Yi Shaochen find the ingredients for the Rejuvenation Pill to remove the scar...
Yi Shaoxuan quickly withdrew his admiring gaze, his eyes sweeping to Mo Xi beside her. He preferred n over won.
The youth was so adorable and lovely, especially with that timid deanor, which stirred an impulse in his lower abdon...
"Xiao Yue!" Mo Xi couldn’t help but clutch at Mu Ruyue’s sleeve, biting his lip and timidly hiding behind her.
That man’s gaze was terrifying, just like those won who seed to want to devour him...
"Momo, don’t worry, I’m here."
Mu Ruyue patted Mo Xi’s hand and raised her eyes to Yi Shaoxuan, her brows furrowed slightly — could it be that Yi Shaoxuan was also inclined that way?
But seeing how frail he appeared, he should have been submissive; how then could he be interested in Mo Xi?
"Mhm."
Mo Xi felt a warmth in his heart as if enveloped by a sense of protection.
Nonetheless, that man’s predatory gaze still made him uncomfortable, almost as if he had been stripped naked before him...
"Chenchen, why have you co?"
The Emperor frowned, yet when he looked at Mu Ruyue, he revealed a friendly smile.
The two lords from the Ouyang Family held her in high esteem. Moreover, this woman had tad the Sky Wolf, so without a doubt, she would beco one of the Ouyang Family...
