Xia Wan broke free of his hand, a hint of mockery in her eyes. He turned to look at the woman and kicked her. The woman struggled a few times and actually died just like that! Xia Wan was slightly surprised, but she did not feel guilty.
This woman was courting death.
Then, she looked at him with a calm and moving smile, as if provoking him. Seeing Mo Lingyun's expression darken, she felt even more hopeless. The next moment, he turned around and left the study without looking back.
He had thought that he would be leaving forever. Unexpectedly, the world was unpredictable. As soon as the door opened, a familiar figure appeared in front of the door. When she saw the person's face, she was so stunned that she forgot to move.
"Su…Su Demon!" Xia Wan reacted and took a few steps back in shock. She could not help but shout.
"That's great, you still remember me!" Su Yao smiled happily, as if he had no qualms about anything, he wanted to do something to Xia Wan.
"Why are you here?" Mo Lingyun's voice came from behind Xia Wan.
"I haven't seen my brother for a long time. Can't I come and take a look?”Su Yao said as he walked inside, bypassing Xia Wan and walking towards Mo Lingyun.
Xia Wan was stunned once again. This…Could these two people know each other?
"Since you're here, take a seat." Mo Lingyun walked back to his desk and sat down." I'm cold!”
"Your subordinate is here!" Leng came in from the door and said respectfully.
"Throw this woman away." Mo Lingyun pointed at the woman lying on the ground in disgust.
"Yes, sir! Your Highness." After he finished speaking, Leng ordered the few people who came with him to carry the woman out.
"You know the Princess Consort?" Mo Lingyun's gaze drifted between the two of them.
"We only met once." Su Yao smiled faintly.
Xia Wan narrowed her eyes and recalled the appearance of the woman just now. Suddenly, she was stunned. That woman…That woman was the masked woman who stood behind Lord Yan at the banquet last time! Her height, eyes, hair, and the shape of her face that could be seen through the veil were exactly the same as the woman from before. Xia Wan rushed out without thinking.
"Your princess is really straightforward.”Su Yao looked at Mo Lingyun and joked.
"She's like this." Mo Lingyun played with the jade pendant in his hand expressionlessly, but his heart was like a raging river, unable to calm down.
Xia Wan caught up with Leng He and the others who had already walked far away, panting lightly.
"Stop!"
"Princess Consort." He looked at her coldly and confusedly.
"There's something wrong with this woman!" Xia Wan straightened her body and looked cold." Don't throw it away for now."”
"This is the king's order, this subordinate cannot disobey.”
"This woman is by Yan Qing's side!" Xia Wan lowered her voice to tell Leng. Hearing this, Leng's expression changed.
"Do you have any evidence?"
Xia Wan looked at the people around her and they left, leaving the woman lying on the ground.
"Didn't you go to the banquet last time? Do you remember the woman standing beside Lord Yan?”
Frowning coldly, he recalled. His gaze fell on the woman on the ground, and his pupils trembled slightly.
"It's her…"
"She's someone close to Lord Yan, so she shouldn't be wrong.”Xia Wan nodded." Didn't Your Highness notice?" Where did that woman come from?"
"That woman was met by his highness at the second largest brothel in the capital, Yangui Brothel. This is the first time his highness brought her into the wang fu.”
" Yan Gui Lou…" Xia Wan suddenly shouted," He visited a brothel again!”
She looked at Xia Wan speechlessly. Her expression changed too quickly.
"Forget it, I won't fuss over it." Xia Wan shook her head helplessly." Who does Yangui Tower belong to?”
"The number one merchant in the capital, Xiao Peng's business.”
"Alright, I understand." Xia Wan pondered for a moment." Go and investigate if this woman has any dealings with the Yan Residence. Also, what happened in the Prince's mansion recently? I wasn't around for a few days, and half of the servants were changed?"”
Leng shook her head and didn't say anything.
"Did His Highness forbid you from saying it?" Xia Wan did not look too good.
"Yes, this subordinate can only tell you that the Imperial Residence is facing an unprecedented crisis.”After saying that, Leng bowed and left. He found those people and carried the woman away.
" An unprecedented crisis..." Xia Wan repeated what Leng had just said, carefully pondering the meaning behind her words. A bad feeling rose in her heart.
Xia Wan returned to Lanzi Pavilion in a daze. Ganyang and Si 'er had already changed into clean clothes. When they saw Xia Wan return in a daze, they walked over worriedly.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Si 'er helped her into the house.
"Close the door." Xia Wan didn't answer and let Si 'er close the door. Si' er nodded and helped Xia Wan sit down before closing the door.
"Sister, what happened?”Ganyang looked at Xia Wan, who was acting strangely, and sat nervously beside her.
" Leng told me that the Imperial Residence…is in an unprecedented predicament…" Xia Wan said weakly. Ganyang and Si 'er were both shocked and did not say anything.
"Impossible. Brother Mo is so powerful. How could he let the Imperial Residence fall into such a predicament?”Ganyang said excitedly.
" Ganyang's situation is already extraordinary. I went to Mo Lingyun's place just now and there was a woman hanging out with him…"
"What? Doesn't Brother Mo already have you? He actually went looking for a woman. He's too despicable. I'll help you settle the score with him!”Ganyang heard Xia Wan's words and roared angrily.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Ganyang, Si 'er, do you remember the masked woman standing behind Yan Qing at the banquet a few days ago?”Xia Wan looked straight at the two of them, her gaze irresistible.
"I remember." Si 'er nodded and looked at Ganyang. Ganyang nodded as well.
" She appeared beside Mo Lingyun…" Xia Wan's low voice caused Ganyang and Si 'er's hearts to feel as if a huge rock was pressing down on them.
"How could that be?" Ganyang shook his head in disbelief.
" I feel that this is a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time. There must be many people involved. Although the Prince's mansion is rich and invincible, many powerful forces have gathered together. The Prince's mansion..." Xia Wan frowned and did not continue. Her heart twitched.
"That damned Yan Qing!" Ganyang slammed the table in exasperation.
" I've known about his ambitions since a long time ago. I didn't expect him to have the power to go against King Qi's mansion. Then, the emperor…could it be that his goal isn't to get rid of Brother Mo…but…"
Ganyang widened his eyes in horror as he looked at Xia Wan and Si 'er.
"He wants to…usurp power!”Si 'er was bold and spoke word by word, her tone extremely solemn.
"If he takes down King Qi's estate, then Brother Mo will become a stepping stone on his path to power!”Ganyang's lips kept trembling. Her mind was not mature enough to resist such powerful pressure. Endless fear filled her brain.
"Ganyang, don't be afraid." Xia Wan held Ganyang's hand." I believe in Your Highness!”
His words fell to the ground and reached Leng He and the Snow Girl's ears. When the two of them heard Xia Wan's words, they could not help but feel a little emotional. The two of them looked at each other and walked out of Lanzi Pavilion.
