"If that is the case, why does the King not care? Princess Hua-Yang is your mother! " The people of the palace naturally hid these ugly things well, and they also never mentioned the Lunar Silk Smoke from before, so he didn't know about it.

Ji Xi'er laughed coldly. "He still wants us to die."

"Chiyan, you've really suffered. Rest assured, I'll definitely help you save the wangfei. After that, I'll take you out of this place."

Before she could react, he suddenly lowered his head, placed a kiss on the corner of her lips, and turned to leave.

Ji Xi'er was stunned. She realized that she had been eaten by a dog. Oh god, what was going on with this Qiu Xuan?

She looked around her subconsciously. It was dark and there was no one around, so she felt relieved. She thought that if Su Li Mei saw this, he would be furious and that Jing Xuan would die miserably, because the possessiveness of a certain demon was so strong.

When she returned to the banquet, she discovered that the place was empty and that he hadn't returned.

When she first came in, she felt that pair of ice-cold eyes staring at her. She knew who was looking at her, and for some reason, she felt that today's Shang Mo Xue was very scary.

Even when she had met him in the pavilion that day in the Imperial Palace, when he wanted to kill her, her heart had never been this terrified.

She nervously sat down on her seat, while Lan Yue once again found a way to cause trouble.

"ShiYan just left and Qiu Xuan said he had something to do. The two of you really have a tacit understanding." She desired to see the world in chaos.

Ji Shi'er quickly replied, "Is that so? "But I didn't see him outside. Maybe he left due to some urgent matter."

"Heh, you just left and he also left. How could there be such a coincidence? Smoke, you are the imperial concubine now. There are some things that you don't need your mother to tell you. "

"Yes, write more, mother will remember this."

She didn't argue with him. Instead, she agreed with his words, making Lan Yue snort. She was obviously very pleased with herself.

So what if it was the Emperor? He still had to listen to everything she said. The Wolf King didn't have any intention of protecting her. It might even be inferior to that maid called Peony.

After the banquet was over, Yue Wuxiu wanted her to stay, using the excuse that they had not seen each other for a long time. Ji Xi'er nodded in agreement, but Shang Moxue rejected her request.

"Wolf King, the empress is this king's own daughter. What do you mean by stopping this king from getting along with his daughter?"

"This king has been ordered by the Monarch to protect the Empress's safety and has never left her side. If anything were to happen to the Empress, this king cannot afford to take responsibility."

"What are you saying? Do you think this king will harm his own daughter?"

"This is just a wishful thinking from Fox King. What I need to do is to protect the empress's safety. If Fox King really wants to privately chat with the empress about father-daughter relationship, then just pretend that this king doesn't exist." He was adamant in his stance that he would stay by Ji Xiu-Er's side. It was useless for Yue Wushu to say anything.

With him here, he definitely wouldn't dare to ask about the poison and where Yue Liushuang was.

After exchanging a few words, Ji Xi'er revealed a helpless look and left with Shang Moxue.

On the way, she wanted to discuss the next plan with him, "Mo Xue, you did very well just now. We're just going to act out this play so that they won't have any doubts about me, so that they won't put any doubt on you. They think that you are monitoring me, so that I can act conveniently."

Shang Moxue simply walked beside her, not saying a single word.

Hey, what happened to you today? Why did you keep a dark face all night? Did you have a quarrel with Peony?" "She tugged at his sleeve and said to herself," "So it's like that. Peony is a girl. You have to let her have a little."

She had long since discovered the feelings that Shang Moxue had for Peony. If Peony could really stay with Shang Moxue, that would be a good story.

Under Ji Xi`er's pestering and questioning, Shang Moxue finally could not hold back the anger in her heart, and it exploded.

"Ji Xi'er!"

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so fierce?" Ji Xi'er was startled. She could not remember any place that she had offended him.

"Heh, have you already forgotten your identity and yet you're openly flirting with other men at the banquet?"

"So that's what you're talking about. Did you misunderstand? He's the lover before Lunar Silk, so …"

However, he didn't listen to her explanation at all. His eyes were terrifyingly malicious. "So, you've deeply fallen in love with him and want to stay here with him?"

"Shang Mo Xue, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not Lunar Silk, how can I possibly have a deep love for him?"

"If it wasn't so, how could you two have agreed to meet outside the banquet, and you actually, actually dared to let him kiss you!"

"You saw it?" Ji Xi'er widened her eyes in disbelief. She thought Shang Moxue would stay inside, but she did not expect him to be by her side.

She suddenly thought of something and looked at him imploringly. "Mo Xue, this was a misunderstanding. Don't tell Xiaobai about it. If he knows about this, he'll definitely be very angry and Qiu Xuan won't be able to keep his life."

She still wanted to point out to Qiu Xuan to help her save her mother. She finally managed to get some help from the fox race, so she had to make good use of it.

Hearing that she didn't have the slightest intention to reprimand him, and even spoke up for him, Shang Moxue's eyes almost spouted fire. "Damn it, you still dare to protect that man even now?"

"You really misunderstood me. I only have Little White in my heart, so I don't even know who Qiu Xuan is." You really misunderstood me. Then I told him a lot of stories about what happened between him and the Lunar Silk Smoke. I felt that he was very pitiful, so I didn't tell him the truth about the Lunar Silk Smoke. After that, he told me that he would help me rescue my mother, so I felt that he could help me. "

She explained the whole situation, but Shang Moxue's complexion did not improve at all. Instead, it turned even colder.

"How do you know if he's telling the truth or not? What if he's a liar? If he was sent by Yue Wuxiu to seduce you, you actually told me all of our plans? "

"I don't think so. He looks like a good person, so we should trust him. Also, it's better to have another friend than an enemy." Seeing that she was about to arrive at her room, she prepared to go back to her room to rest, not forgetting to remind Little White, "Shang Moxue, you must not tell Little White that I don't want to anger him. He's the only person I love, and I hope you can trust me."

With that, she turned around and returned to her room.

Behind her, Shang Moxue's complexion improved a little because of her last sentence. She didn't want him to know? But unfortunately, he already knew.

Peony was still awake, waiting for her in the room. She quickly got up when she saw Ji Xi`er coming back.

"Chi Er, are you alright? Is the dinner going well? "

"Look, didn't I just come back safely? Nothing happened, and I even found a helper." Next, she told her about the matter with Qiu Xuan.

Because Ji Xi'er did not tell Peony that she was not the real Lunar Silk Smoke, but rather about Zi Xuan, she addressed Jing Xuan as her former lover.

Peony knew this, so she knew it when she heard it.

'Heh! 'She wanted to use the Great Awareness Pavilion to save Lunar Silk Yan's mother, so she would definitely make a move on this matter and stop her from doing so.

Furthermore, she could make use of Ji Xian`er and Ji Xuanxuan's feelings to leave a bad impression of her. She believed that she was a spy sent by the foxes, and if she told Su Li Mei about this later, he would be disappointed in Ji Xian`er. This was a really good plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Although she thought this on the surface, she seemed to be very worried about her. "Is that Jing Xuan reliable?"

"His mother and my father are siblings, and he is also my cousin. He is free to enter and leave the Imperial Palace. With his help, it will be much easier for us."

"I was afraid that he would hate you out of love and not help you from the bottom of his heart. Didn't you say that he slept with Yue Liushuang before? How could a man like that be trusted?"

"He was also framed by Yue Liushuang, so I don't think he would lie to me. Peony, just believe me this once. Don't be like Mo Xue, he just accused me when I was outside."

"You said Mo Xue doesn't agree?"

"Yeah, I feel like he's really weird today. He had an icy face at the dinner party and he would glare at me from time to time. I don't even know how I offended him. Did you quarrel with him or something that made him in a bad mood?"

"How is that possible? "Mo Xue has a very good personality. She rarely gets angry."

Smoke didn't quite understand. He really shouldn't be so angry about what had happened. Even if he was holding a grudge for Su Li Mei, he shouldn't have been in such a state.

Right, I also realized that Mo Xue didn't look too happy from the beginning of the fox race's journey. I remember that before we left, Mei called Mo Xue in to talk to him for a while. It might be related to that matter.

"Yup, yup. I have to ask him the reason first, or else I really will be frozen to death by his gaze."

Peony smiled. "Alright, it's getting late. You should get some rest. We still have some work to do tomorrow."
