Chapter 66 - Burning Fragrant Garden
If he were to report the secret of Xiao Lin’s death to royal father at this time, with his understanding of royal father, he would definitely not pursue Xiao Lin’s death because of this woman.Thinking about that, Xiao Zhai felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off of his shoulders. Seeing that the chess piece in front of him had been blocked off by Helian Yi, he laughed, “Haha! Everyone said that Prince Jing’s chess skills were superb, it was better to just try it out after hearing it! I admit defeat! ”
Helian Yi put down the black object in his hand, stood up and walked to the study table to sit down. He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhai, reminding him:
“What do you think of Miss Mo?”
Xiao Zhai did not expect Helian Yi to ask such a question. He thought for a moment, then stood up and replied, “This Miss Mo and Miss Mo are like two different people. Upon contact with her, even the ice that has been frozen for ten thousand years would be instantly melted by her warmth. ”
Listening to Xiao Zhai’s impression of Mo Youyou, the fists Helian Yi landed on his back were tightly clenched, and he said to Xiao Zhai in a low voice:
“Prince Jing’s Manor has been empty for so many years, it’s about time I added another woman inside.”
Hearing Helian Yi’s sudden words, Xiao Zhai was stunned. What does Helian Yi mean by this? Could it be that he also had feelings for Mo Residence’s Ninth Miss?
Helian Yi glanced at Xiao Zhai out of the corner of his eyes and continued, “Yao’er is I’s most beloved imperial sister. She is usually spoiled a little too much, and as long as it’s something for her, she would do anything to protect him. So, I hoped that Brother Xiao could treat Yao’er sincerely and not hurt her heart because of some other woman. ”
“Prince Jing is overthinking it. Don’t worry, I will definitely treat the princess well.”Xiao Zhai was very clear about Helian Yi’s intentions. He must have realized that he was interested in Mo Youyou, which was why he said those words. If he reminded him so clearly, could it be that Helian Yi was really going to make a move against Mo Youyou?
Just that, during the banquet two days ago, Mo Youyou and Prince Xiang had just cancelled their marriage, exactly what was his purpose for being so anxious? Or was he simply interested in her? However, after all these years of friendship, he more or less understood Helian Yi somewhat. How could he possibly be interested in Mo Youyou in just a few short days?
He looked suspiciously at Helian Yi, and after a while, Xiao Zhai suddenly spoke: “I still have some matters to take care of, so I won’t disturb Prince Jing any longer. “Farewell!”
After sending Xiao Zhai off, Helian Yi stood by the side of the lotus pond in the Northern Courtyard and said to Wu Shang who was behind him: “Send the news of I’s private meeting with Mo Residence’s Ninth Miss out!”
Wu Shang looked up, and asked curiously: “But Master, if it’s like this, won’t you and Miss Mo be criticized by the people of Ming You Kingdom?”
“Whatever I wants you to do, you can do it. I has his own arrangements! ”“Yes, Master!”
Helian Yi’s serene and deep eyes stared at the pairs of carp in the lotus pond and he muttered coldly, “Youyou, I has feelings for you! Are you willing to be I’s wangfei!? ”
General Mo’s Residence sat on top of the rattan chair in the courtyard and stared at Mo Li who was standing outside the Fragrant Garden.After a long while, Mo Li seemed to be unable to hold on, and growled at Mo Youyou: “Wretched girl, come out if you dare!”
Mo Youyou replied speechlessly, “What did the little slut say? I don’t understand! ”
“Little bitch, if you say you have guts, then …” Before he could even finish his words, he felt that something was amiss. The maidservants behind him, along with Yue Er behind them all covered their mouths and laughed loudly, it was only then that Mo Li realised that he had been tricked by Mo Youyou!
She did not expect that this woman would seduce Prince Jing, and get rid of seventeen experts of Lifesteal Hall. Back then, Emperor mentioned the marriage between her and Prince Jing, so she definitely could not let this little bitch snatch her man!
He happened to hear the maid mention that Prince Jing had just left the Fragrant Garden, and that his father had been summoned to the palace early in the morning. As long as Mo Youyou died, even if his father blamed him, he would at most be imprisoned for a month. At least she was missing a threat!It was just that he did not expect that there would be an additional monstrous genius with unfathomable martial arts skills in Mo Youyou’s courtyard!
Seeing that they missed the chance to kill Mo Youyou, Mo Li could only endure her anger and turn around, signalling everyone to retreat. She said to Mo Youyou in a cold voice, “Wretched girl, just you wait! One day, I will make you pay the price for Ran’er’s death! ”Hearing Mo Li’s words, Mo Youyou’s eyes flashed with killing intent, if this Mo Li was not removed, she would not be able to be at ease here. Since she dared to come over and threaten him so blatantly, then don’t blame her, Mo Youyou, for being merciless.
Seeing that Mo Li was about to leave, Mo Youyou’s clear and melodious voice shouted towards Mo Li:
“Since Second Sister came to the Fragrant Garden, why are you so anxious to leave? Won’t you come in and take a seat? ”
After she finished speaking, she played with the few strands of hair in front of her chest, and her gaze landed on Mo Li’s body.
Mo Li was startled, thinking that Mo Youyou did not dare to do anything to him, she turned and walked towards Fragrant Garden. Mo Youyou cast a glance at the Falcon on the tree. Since Helian Yi had left him here to protect her, she would order this man to do so.
“Falcon, speaking of bringing back the firewood, it would truly be a pity to leave it outside of Fragrant Garden.” Good steel should be used on the blade!
Falcon looked at the firewood surrounding the Fragrant Garden, looking at Mo Youyou with dissatisfaction. How could he let an elegant young master do such crude work?
Seeing Mo Youyou’s cold eyes sweeping over, the Falcon frowned and clapped his hands in the air. Four men in black appeared in the Fragrant Garden in an instant, and upon hearing the Falcon’s orders, they brought in the firewood surrounding the Fragrant Garden. They also followed Mo Youyou’s orders and surrounded the firewood in Mo Youyou’s room, closing all the windows.Mo Li looked at Mo Youyou’s weird actions, and glanced at her in disdain: “You slut, what are you trying to do?”
Mo Youyou was lifted up by Yue Er and walked over to Mo Li. He looked at her flickering eyes with interest, then whispered into her ear:
“Second Sister, did you want my life a long time ago?”
Mo Li was startled for a moment, then ignored Mo Youyou and continued to speak: “If you want my life, then you shouldn’t hide it. Isn’t your martial arts very powerful? Why do you always pretend to be a white lotus and not get tired? ”“Mo Youyou, don’t you dare talk nonsense!”
Mo Youyou scoffed, and increased the distance between him and Mo Li: “Didn’t you want to burn this Fragrant Garden just now? I shall grant your wish now! What do you think? ”
Mo Li couldn’t figure out what the woman was planning to do, but she had an ominous premonition that by the time she regained her senses, it was already too late.
A black-clothed man received Falcon’s gaze, and with a flash, he landed in front of Mo Li, pressed on her acupoints, and carried her towards the hall. Seeing that, Mo Li was shocked, she struggled with all her might, opening her eyes wide as she looked at Mo Youyou who revealed a pair of dimples.
