Chapter 49

Miscarriage

Mo Qi Qi tilts her head to look at Jun Yue Hen; his side profile looks so handsome.  Actually, he looks handsome no matter from what angle one looks from.  He looks really enticing; perfect from all angles.  If he was born in the modern time, he would have become a household superstar.

His music resembles him; gentle, heart-wrenching and enthralling.  The night wind blows gently, lifting his long dark hair.  Flower petals falls from the trees above them, it is as though it is raining flowers.  It makes him looks like a celestial and adds to the charm of his song.

Once his song ends, he turns to look at her and notices a couple of flower petals resting on top of her hair.  He casually lifts his hand and carefully takes it off; the gentleness of his action is as though he is touching a priceless treasure.

Mo Qi Qi sighs in her heart:  The previous owner must have been blind.  She must have been really muddle-headed.  Why didn't she marry such a nice man and had instead married a temperamental ice-block who didn't even love her?  She had wasted the 7th king's deep love.

However, the current Mo Qi Qi is no longer the old Mo Qi Qi.  She will not like Jun Qian Che or Jun Yue Hen.  She will not easily trust men anymore.  Both of them are the people she cannot love and scorn.  She must control her heart and not fall for either of them.

”Yue Hen, it is late and I am sleepy.  You should go back and rest early!” Mo Qi Qi says with a smile as she gets up.  Honestly, she enjoys being friend with Jun Yue Hen.  He is very warm, like a dependable older brother.  He can give her peace and stability whenever her mind gets messy.  But since he can never be more than a friend, she does not wish to give him hope.

Jun Yue Hen gets up; the way he looks at her is really gentle and warm, ”Rest early, Qi Qi.  If you ever need my help, just send someone to inform me and I will do everything I can to help you.”

Mo Qi Qi nods, ”I will.  Good night.”

Jun Yue Hen looks at her with a pair of affectionate eyes before walking away.

Mo Qi Qi shakes her head and sighs, ”Love is when a couple spend their lives together.  It is a pity her head was muddled.  She made the wrong choice and now, neither could have their happy ending.”  She gives a great yawn before walking back to her own room.

The next few days are peaceful.  Other than unable to leave Feng Yang Palace, everything remains the same for Mo Qi Qi, be it her clothes or her meals.  Her ears have been given a rest for these past few days.  Since she is now a suspect, those concubines cannot enter Feng Yang Palace to give her their greetings.  As a result, Mo Qi Qi is able to have a few complain-free days.

In the blink of an eye, 5 days pa.s.sed.  An esteemed (or rather, uninvited) guest comes to Feng Yang Palace.

”This official greets Your Ladyship,” Chu Ling Xiao pays Mo Qi Qi his respect the moment he steps into Feng Yang Palace.

Mo Qi Qi who is sitting on the phoenix seat asks him, ”What is the purpose of Prime Minister's visit to Feng Yang Palace?”

Chu Ling Xiao smiles amicably, ”Answering Your Ladyship, this official is investigating Dong Fei's death under His Majesty's order.  This official discovered a few questionable things and decides to pay Your Ladyship a visit.”

”If you have question, just baidu it!” blurts Mo Qi Qi.  The 7th king already sent people to inform her about Jun Qian Che instructing Chu Ling Xiao to investigate the death.  Since nothing happened these past few days, she thought the emperor had simply let the matter be, after contemplating over Mo Clan's influence.  She didn't think this dude will continue to pursue the matter.  He is indeed worthy of being Jun Qian Che's best friend.
