Gu Mo could only feel streams of water gushing into his nose and mouth, and yet when he tried to open his eyes, the pain was excruciating.

He decided to give up. Just like that, his body sank deeper and deeper into the ground. He could no longer feel anything.

When Gu Mo felt that his body didn't have that strong sense of oppression and disharmony, he only felt that his surroundings were ashen white, he couldn't see, he couldn't hear anything. He only thought that he had escaped from that body and died.

Before he could rejoice that he was finally free, he heard a voice approaching from afar.

"Look, is that Young Master Gu?" A voice seemed to be whispering in his ear. He could not detect any emotion in the voice.

"Aiya, how did I fall into the lake?" Another voice sounded, but the gloating in the words was light and easy to see.

"Gu Moyan, that slut, has brought harm upon herself and is now in the limelight. What happened to her now?"

"Haha, aren't we soaking in the lake?"

"Let's see how the emperor treats you right now. Pfft, slut, you deserve it."

Then another crowd of people began to jeer at him.

In fact, Gu Mo's life filled with scorn and ridicule was not little, and the content of his words were basically the same.

My lady, why do you have such a hard time? The Emperor …" "The emperor will come visit you in a few days, wuu …

Gu Mo sank into the water. He had no strength left, as though he was dead. However, he could clearly feel the hatred and dissatisfaction these people had towards him. Amongst these voices, he could finally make out a sobbing sound that was barely audible.

Am I the Empress? Gu Moyan?

Give me a second life, give the living people trouble, think of the one who just cried for me. The insignificant voices were drowned in the mockery, perhaps she would even implicate him.

Gu Mo looked down on life. Even if he knew that he had lived another life, in this world, he had possessed another person's body in the state of a ghost. But what was the point in living after what those people had said just now?

With this thought, Gumo felt a little tired. The voices gradually faded and his consciousness faded away, returning to the state it was when he first came here.

The place where Gu Mo appeared was the Clear Stream Restaurant given to him by the current Emperor Mo Gu Han.

The entire small building was surrounded by a lake. If one wanted to go to the small building, not only would they need to fly for a while, it would also take a long time for them to arrive even if they had to travel by boat.

That small building was located in the middle of the lake. Sometimes, when the lake was filled with some fog, it would give off the feeling of a mirage. If one did not lose it, it seemed that it would scatter upon contact.

The people on the other side were actually envious, and felt pity for the people in this small building in the clear stream. They envied him for being able to live in such a huge residence by himself. For such a deep, quiet environment, there was no need for him to participate in these scheming battles. Those who didn't know better would think that the emperor pitied him and didn't want him to be in that kind of environment.

However, compared to those who did not know him, those who knew him well could only avoid him in fear. They knew that this was a disguised form of house arrest for him, and even though he was there, the Emperor no longer visited him every day. It was as if he had neglected him greatly.

They knew their chance had come. Gu Moyan had fallen out of favor.

Just today, he dared to travel to the other side of the lake, and that was already in violation of the emperor's bottom line. The emperor would definitely expel him from the palace, and he might even end his life there.

Towards these, the concubines in the palace all did not doubt that Mo Gu Han would do such a thing. They knew Mo Gu Han's character very well.
