Chapter Fifty-One: Departure from Loulan

  Just as Mo Mo was puzzled, Xing Chen said, "Mo Er is the queen, she should be able to take charge of the country." He was also frustrated: Why is Mo Mo so slow-witted!

  It seems that Mo has already guessed the general idea. Xing Chen wants her to become the queen of Loulan, and then be subdued by him, so that Loulan will no longer be a vassal state, but rather a county under his dynasty!

  "Your Majesty, Mo Er knows that she is not capable enough and fears that she cannot take on the task." Her troubles were already numerous, and she didn't want to stir up more. However, Xing Yun Chen would not let go of this opportunity to gain control over Lou Lan.

  "Xing will go with you to Loulan." Xing Shuchen said, closing his eyes, his expression seemingly a bit helpless. "You can discuss it with him, he's not inferior to me in national affairs."

  Xing Yu Ru was not a hostage in Lou Lan, but her military strategist or the mastermind behind the scenes!

  Xing Erchen walked to Mo Mo's side, looked at Su Manran and said, "I have to review the memorials tonight, Mo'er will keep you company." Then he left under Su Manran's reluctant gaze.

  Mo saw her eyes and instinctively felt something was wrong, so she asked Su Manran what was going on. Su Manran didn't answer, but just cried, and under Mo's repeated questioning, finally said "Xing Xuchen hasn't been spending the night here for days." Mo stroked the head of the person in her arms and said "Mother, he's just busy, he's taking care of the whole country by himself."

  "When he's not busy, he's also not here with me." Su Man slowly raised her head, her red and swollen eyes looking at Mo Mo, "Recently, he's always been going to Lan Fei's place."

  "Empress Lan? Who? Isn't the harem empty?" In Mo's impression, there really wasn't a person named Empress Lan.

  "It was that dancing girl, Svetlana, sent by Loulan. Recently, it's either inviting her to dance or teaching her chess, and he doesn't come back all night." Su Manran sobbed, which made Mo Mo very angry.

  At first, if it wasn't for Sumen Ran, how would he have become the nameless master? He only thought that in order to make his mother not leave the person she loved; if it wasn't for Sumen Ran's waist to be a little harder, he wouldn't have gone to marry Lin Lan! Now, Xing Chen has abandoned Sumen Ran and started a new romance, how can Mo Mo not be angry? Moreover, when she was powerless and had no status, she didn't let Sumen Ran suffer any grievances!

  So Mo secretly vowed in his heart: Must go to Loulan. Seize the royal power. Kill back to the imperial court!

  Just as Mo was churning inside, a corner of the ice crystal in the distant waters cracked and fell.

  Back to Mo Ran Palace. Mo saw Li Si Xing dancing with his sword. He immediately called him to stop. Rushed over and snatched the Bixue. "Are you courting death? Your body has just recovered!"

  Li Sixing took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over to Mo Mo.

  Mo Mo tore it open and saw Han Lin's familiar handwriting:

  Lord Ink. Deceiving you is not my intention. You do not hold grudges, and repay grievances with virtue, making me ashamed. I feel that I am no longer worthy to accompany you. I will return first and wait for Lord Ink's return.

  "Han Lin is gone..." Mo Mo unconsciously spoke out the contents of the letter.

  Li Sixing looked at Mu Mu's lifeless expression "What? Can't bear to part with it?" His sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes filled with some resentment.

  "What's wrong with that!" Mo Mo sensed the sour tone in Li Si Xing's words and instinctively wanted to refute him, making her own feelings clear.

  Li Sihang also felt embarrassed and his face was a bit unsightly. "I was too rash," he said, wanting to leave, but was pulled back by Mo Mo.

  "Finish what you're saying before you leave!" Momo's apricot-like eyes widened, and her eye circles turned slightly red as if she had been wronged.

  Li Sixing looked at the little woman in front of him, feeling a bit amused, his mouth corners involuntarily curled up, without saying a word, just staring at her round and bulging eyes, as if this scene was somewhat familiar, yet couldn't recall where he had seen it before.

  Mo Mo couldn't help but blush as she looked at Li Si Xian's smiling face, the sunlight shining on his honey-colored skin and highlighting the fine sweat droplets that had formed from his martial arts practice. In her mind, she involuntarily recalled the first time they met, when he was drenched in water, revealing his powerful physique.

  "Have you had enough?" Li Sixing's words made both of them pause for a moment.

  Mo's face lit up with an excited smile, "You remembered?" But as she saw Li Si Xian's cold expression, her smiling face gradually fell. She turned her head away, not looking at him, "I'm going back to Lou Lan tomorrow, are you coming with me or returning to Wu Ming?"

  Li Sixing was originally used to hiding his emotions, but when he saw Mo Mo's worried little face, he regretted it a bit. "Han Lin is not here, I have to go."

  "I have someone to praise, I don't need you!" Mo Mo was about to storm off with a huff, but Li Si Xian caught her arm, causing her heart to skip a beat with excitement, although she still looked angry on the surface.

  "Mo Zhu, you are the nameless backbone, no matter who is by your side or what identity you have changed to, the nameless will always protect you for life!" Li Si Xing's words made Mo Mo half happy and half worried: finally able to let him be by his side, but it wasn't the answer he wanted.

  Mo Mo told him that Xing Ru Yu had been conferred the title of Prince, Li Si Hang didn't have any reaction, Mo Mo felt a bit disappointed. However, his response made Mo Mo feel a bit happy.

  "I'd rather keep him by my side than let him get close to others." Li Si Xing took out the white handkerchief he had washed and wiped away the sweat that was about to form, causing Mo Mo to become excited again: He's still using that handkerchief!

  With joy, Mo Mo eats and washes up, with a smile on his face until the next morning.

  Arriving at Lanfei's palace, she saw Svetlana dancing, Mu Mu's face was cold, didn't even glance at the person who came to greet her, and quietly sat down on her own.

  Xing Yu Chen lightly raised his hand, letting Lan Fei get up and retreat. Then he said to Mo Mo, "This time when you return to Loulan, bring Lan Fei with you. Last time you asked me for her was because the Ninth Heaven of Loulan feared she would bewitch the Crown Prince Xuan Ye, so they sent her to the imperial court." Seeing her remain silent, Xing Yu Chen continued, "She will definitely make some moves in the palace when she returns to Loulan this time. You just need to assist her."

  "Yes, Your Majesty. Mo has taken note of it. Tomorrow morning, I will have to hurry on my journey again, so I'll return to the palace first." His tone was somewhat stiff, and upon seeing him wave his hand, he bowed and retreated.

  On the second day, Xing Ru Yu wore a deep purple changshan, with a feathered crown on her head and a jade hairpin that held her long, black hair in place. A black belt was tied around her slender waist, making her look less flirtatious and more elegant. When she saw Mo Mo, she nodded slightly, closed her jade fan, clasped her hands together in a fist, and addressed her as "Princess." However, when she saw Li Si Xing standing behind Mo Mo, her expression stiffened.

  Mo Mo also returned a courtesy "Congratulations to Yu Luo Wang Ye's promotion." Then he didn't care about him, and walked straight to the sedan chair, sat up, saw Li Si Xing beside him, "Li Tang Zhu, your body has just recovered, come to the sedan chair." Mo Mo didn't want to see him being blown by the wind and sun.

  "Master Mo, my body has recovered and I'm fine with horseback riding, it won't be tiring. Thanks for Master Mo's concern." Li Si Xing didn't show any gratitude, making Mo Mo feel unappreciated, "I'd rather you faint! Hmph!" Then she sat into the sedan chair. She lifted the curtain and looked at the direction of the Empress' palace, silently saying in her heart to Su Man Ran "Mother, when I return, I will definitely make you happy!"
