After realizing all of this, Leng Hong Xiu's face suddenly became unsightly. She turned around and walked back without looking back. Sen Luo, on the other hand, did not notice anything unusual about Leng Hong Xiu.

However, a few days after that day, he discovered that Leng Hong Xiu suddenly started to feel cold towards him. She first made an excuse to chase him out of her room to sleep, saying that with him around, she wouldn't be able to sleep well, and when he saw that she really couldn't sleep well and was annoyed, he immediately went to the next room to sleep.

Who knew that in the next few days, Leng Hong Xiu would go out early in the morning and wouldn't let him follow her yet. However, when he insisted on following her, her face sank, and it was not just an ordinary heavy face.

It was impossible to do it in broad daylight, so he had no choice but to do it in the dark.

However, after following Leng Hong Xiu for three days, he realised that she was either there to supervise the cleaning of the ruins, or to go to the shops that did not have anything to do with the 'Red House' that she wanted to open. From morning to night, he did not have any gains, he only saw Leng Hong Xiu busily doing things like a top.

He could not help but reflect, perhaps Leng Hong Xiu's attitude was really due to being too busy, and that was why she was a little cold, not to mention she treated him like that in the past, right?

But after two days of being nice to him, would he replace those two days with what he used to be?

Thinking about this, Sen Luo temporarily put this matter behind him. Then, he agreed with Leng Hong Xiu to help him with the investigation on Yun Jiu's background.

He had been confused by Leng Hong Xiu's cold attitude for the past few days and had almost forgotten about it. Thinking of this, Sen Luo decided to investigate that Yun Jiu first.

Thus, he decided not to follow Leng Hong Xiu out the next day.

"Look, a perfect match for a perfect couple!" In the octagonal pavilion in the imperial garden, the empress dowager was smiling as she pointed at Yun Ri and Mo Yun, who were admiring the flowers on the path. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

"Mother, this Mo Yun seems to be a little spoiled. Is it really appropriate to give it to Little Jiu'er? In my opinion, it's better to find a more docile lady for Little Jiu'er. "

The emperor, Yun Lengyuan, did not think highly of the daughter of King Qi Yang. Although it was extremely important to win her over to be surnamed Wang, to his knowledge, this Mo Yun was not worthy of the little son he doted on the most.

The marriage proposal back then was just a joke from the empress dowager, but he didn't object. This time, he used the empress dowager's birthday date to allow Mo Yun to stay in the palace ahead of time, in order to better inspect her moral character and conduct. However, after these few days, the empress dowager was exceptionally fond of Mo Yun, but he discovered that his precious child, Little Jiu'er, was smiling with an increasingly forced and impatient expression.

Therefore, for his precious son, Yun Lengyuan had to be careful with his words to remind his mother that they were not as suitable as they appeared to be.

This Mo Yun is the only daughter of King Qi Yang, and in terms of status, she is the daughter of a prince. Being born in a large family, it is unavoidable that she has some pampering habits, but as you see, your majesty, Yun'er is very gentle and considerate towards our little Jiu'er. Moreover, didn't Xiao Jiu'er hate those soft and sloppy girls who had no opinions at all? Although my old woman felt that this little girl knew how to brandish a knife and play a gun, and was a little unsightly, since Little Jiu'er likes this type of girl, my old woman can only cater to her child. Your majesty, you say you're not suitable, just where did this come from! "

It couldn't be that he felt this way because he saw Xiao Jiu'er's smile growing more and more forced, right? It would make his mother feel that she had failed her duties and actually wasn't able to see that Xiao Jiu'er was unhappy. On one hand was his own mother, and since she was too old to provoke her, and on the other was his most precious son, he wouldn't be willing to waste his time on her just because of this.

Since both sides are in a difficult situation, Yun Lengyuan could only remain silent for a moment before saying, "Imperial Mother, Little Jiu'er is still young, and his position of eighth, seventh, and fifth is still empty. Since Imperial Mother thinks that Mo Yun is so outstanding, as the royal father of so many children, I can't leave everything that is good to Little Jiu'er right? This Mo Yun, why not stay in the palace for the next few days? Mother, you should not appoint anyone to betroth her to Xiao Jiu'er, and should let the other concubines enter the palace one by one to meet Mo Yun and see who is most loyal to them. I will propose the marriage to them, what do you say? "

"But, your majesty, this doesn't seem appropriate. Mother, I already said a few years ago that I would give Mo Yun to our little Jiu'er, if you go back on your words, wouldn't that be losing face for the royal family? Moreover, that Qi Yang emperor is a very powerful soldier, this isn't a small matter for your majesty, how can it be so trifling?"

The empress dowager's face was full of disapproval, and her words were laced with reproach. From her point of view, this Mo Yun was very good. She really didn't know where the emperor would be dissatisfied if he wanted to use his literary and martial arts skills.

"Mother, I know that you are unhappy, but think about it, my royal father did not do it easily. Nine sons, if you have no ability, then forget about it. What's more, even though you said that you were right, didn't you and I in fact think of little Jiu Er? Seeing that Xiao Jiu'er is already so old, and that we still want to keep him in the palace, instead of giving him a mansion to move out of the palace when he reaches adulthood like the other princes, and that his other sons don't even have a main wife right now, wouldn't our mother and I, if we continue to act unfairly on this matter, make the children feel cold in their hearts? "

"Originally, the emperor was worried about this. The empress really thought you didn't like this Mo Yun, and what the emperor said made sense. Little Eight and the others doted on Little Jiu'er a lot, but as elders, we can't treat them unfairly because they've always pampered Little Jiu'er to help them. Forget it, your majesty has a point, so the empress won't rush them to get married. If not, then the empress will enter the palace and see who they've decided on!"

"Thank you, Imperial Mother, for understanding me!" The Emperor bowed.

"Your majesty, if we just do this, how will Prince Qi Yang explain himself?" The empress dowager couldn't help but worry about this matter. Although Prince Qi Yang wasn't the sort to rebel, it was still a bad thing for the kingdom and the family to have a feud with their sons and daughters due to the marriage.

"Mother, rest assured. Back then, mother only said it verbally, and this son did not pass down the decree on the spot. To this day, if we were to refer Mo Yun to the other sons of our imperial concubines, we will not mistreat the Mo family. We are all my sons, no matter which one of us is a dragon amongst men. Even though the empress dowager and I love Little Jiu'er the most, it's also because Little Jiu'er doesn't take part in the succession to the throne. Although his daughter might not necessarily marry Little Jiu now, there's a possibility that she'll become the empress after marrying another prince. Mo Shaocong isn't a fool, he'll only be grateful for your kindness, so how can he blame our royal family? "

When the empress dowager heard this, she clearly knew that Yun Lengyuan had already thought through the formidable relationship before and could not help but sigh. "Since Your Majesty has already thought it through, there is nothing for Imperial Mother to worry about.

"Thank you mother, so little Jiu Er has accompanied Mo Yun in the palace for the past five days. Today, I will let his palace stay in the King's Manor outside the palace for a few days. I will immediately summon eighth brother to the palace."

"Un, that's fine too!" The empress dowager nodded and spoke to the palace maid by her side. "Go and invite Princess Mo back. Tell her that I'm tired and I want her to accompany me back to the palace for a short rest."

"Yes, Majesty."

Soon, Mo Yun and Yun Yang both returned to the pavilion with worried expressions. "Empress Dowager (Grandmother), are you tired?"

"Mhmm, it's useless even if I'm old. I feel my spine ache after sitting for just a short while. Little Yun girl, after giving this one the massage a few days ago, this one felt a lot more comfortable. That's why I wanted you to give this one another massage."

"Empress Dowager, what's wrong with that? It's Mo Yun's honour to be able to make the empress dowager feel comfortable. Yun'er will accompany the empress dowager back now, okay?" Although Mo Yun was not happy with the empress dowager and interrupted her interactions with Yun Ri Yang, he knew that whether or not she could successfully become the ninth princess' consort all depended on the empress dowager's sweet words.

The empress dowager smiled in satisfaction. "Good, good, good Yun'er, what a good child."

"Grandmother, you-" Yun Ri Yang had just started to look up when he saw his father winking at him. He immediately understood and said, "Then you should go back to the palace to rest. Your body is the fortune of your grandson and the entire world!"

"Little Jiu'er, you're the only one with a sweet mouth. Come on, you don't have to follow me anymore. You just need to have Yun'er."

Hearing his grandma's words, Yun Ri Yang naturally had an idea of what she meant. He quickly bowed and said, "Yes, grandma Huang, please take care!"

After they had left, Yun Ri Yang immediately turned around and hugged Yun Leng Yuan tightly, saying happily, "Royal father, thank you royal father! You are really Xiao Jiu'er's best father! This son is about to be tortured to death by this woman!"

When Yun Lengyuan saw that he looked completely different from his calm appearance before, he could not help but laugh, "Look, he's already twenty-five and yet he's still hugging Royal Father like that. What is he like? Her Majesty said that you looked like a match made in heaven. "

"royal father! Please spare me, please do not betroth this woman to this son, otherwise this son will have no fun in his life, and might die of depression! " Yun Ri Yang's face instantly turned bitter.

"Pah pah pah! If Little Jiu'er continues to spout nonsense, be careful of Imperial Father beating your mouth. If that's the case, who will Royal Father give her to if you don't like her? You can't possibly harm your other brothers, right? " Yun Lengyuan could not do anything to his youngest son.

"Royal father, please betroth it to fifth brother. Fifth brother likes to change women with this personality the most. Although fifth brother has let him down, Xiao Jiu'er absolutely cannot stand this kind of woman. Perhaps one day, he won't be able to resist the urge to strangle him to death."

"You're so disgusted you want to strangle him?" Yun Lengyuan also frowned. He had always felt that Xiao Jiu'er did not like Mo Yun, but he did not know that she was repulsed to such an extent.

"En!" Yun Ri Yang immediately nodded his head vigorously in affirmation.

All right!" "Alright, Royal Father will think of a way for you. In the next few days, stay in the palace outside the palace, and don't leave early or return late, as our country hasn't been peaceful recently and a demon has appeared. Your Uncle Leng Wang's last son has already suffered from a demon's calamity, and now he is a living corpse!" When Yun Lengyuan thought about that demon, his frown deepened. He was really worried about letting his son live outside the palace.

"Father, you mean Cousin Qing Yun? Did something happen to him? " Yun Tianyang was momentarily stunned, "When did this happen? How could I not know about it?"

"It's just a few days ago. A few days ago, someone just brought him back, so they were afraid of causing panic, so the people beside me did not know that you have to be careful, try your best not to walk in the night, and also do not make friends with people you do not know. Father knows that you love freedom, but before the monster can catch you, you must be careful, but this is the capital, so the monster will not have the guts to come here to harm people." Yun Lengyuan looked at his son worriedly. He clearly knew that he didn't need to worry about it anymore, but he couldn't help worrying. No matter how old a child was, in his parents' eyes, he was still a child.

"Royal father, you don't have to worry, your son's martial arts are the best amongst us, not to mention this is the capital city, I will go out for a few days and when this Princess Mo has an owner, I will come back and accompany you everyday, okay?"

"Alright, alright. From the looks of it, you clearly want to fly out of the palace, yet you're still accompanying royal father. Hurry up and go, I won't disturb you to go play, just remember to be careful!"

"Thank you, royal father, for bowing to me!" It had been five days since he had been in the palace, and apart from the first day when he had seen Yue Xing, he had never seen anyone else. Yue Xing's expression was very ugly, he even said that he wanted to give Leng Yu a good look, he did not know why these two people were getting into a feud with each other. Although he had already warned Yue Xing not to act rashly, it was hard to guarantee that Yue Xing would not listen to him, so he was even more anxious to leave the palace.

Moreover, these few days in the palace accompanying this annoying Mo Yun, he missed Leng Xiu's straightforward and frank attitude more and more. Even his cold attitude made him feel very close, where could he stay? He thought that even if his Imperial Father didn't help him out, he still had to think of a way to leave the palace.
