Everyone's gaze stayed on Shen Zhu and Xiao Mo for a while before dispersing.

Shen Zhu felt uneasy and asked softly: ”When did I become a princess?”

She thought that this Xiao Mo would do anything to marry her.

She was a 'princess', and those few people claimed that they had no basis in their empty words. If the real princess were to find out, what would happen if she got jealous?

”You are a princess.” Xiao Mo answered with a smile, and then moved closer to her, ”Then who are you? Shen family's daughter? ”

Shen Zhu glared at him, but his words stung her heart. She was indeed not the daughter of the Shen Family.

”I'll show you tomorrow. On this list, your name is Mu Qingzhu, the name that Empress Mu gave you all those years ago. Mu Qingling knows about this too, so you should ask her later.”

Xiao Mo casually placed his arm on the chair behind Shen Zhu, looking as if he was holding onto Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu no longer argued with Xiao Mo, he only wanted to find a chance to escape. At worst, he would just take his child and leave, allowing Su Zongwen to get married in joy!

Seeing that she was so angry, Xiao Mo was in a good mood, and kept grabbing things into her bowl.

”Mistress.” Gale suddenly bent over and whispered in his ear: ”Su Zongwen's men have found the Li Clan's courtyard.”

Xiao Mo's face changed, the gentleness in his eyes disappeared, leaving only killing intent, ”Do not leave anyone alive.”

”There are more than 10 people this time, are they …” This was, after all, the territory of the Liang Kingdom.

”You or them, choose one.” Xiao Mo did not have any patience, he coldly threw out his words to Gale.

”Understood.” Gale swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and left.

Xiao Mo picked up the wine cup on the table and exchanged a glance with Su Zongwen who was sitting diagonally across him.

Trash!

He gave Su Zongwen a silent evaluation in his heart, provocatively sneering at him, and finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Ming Chengjun, who was sitting on the main seat, had always maintained the attitude of a ruler of a nation. He was talking and laughing appropriately, and he was wondering in his heart, just who was this Shen Zhu?

In the past few years, the power of the Xiao Kingdom had not to be underestimated, especially this young emperor.

On the other hand, the Queen was elated. Shen Zhu suddenly appearing in the great hall with a man, this Su Family person was probably angered to death.

She lowered her head to cover her lips as she chuckled. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the pale face of the Noble Consort Su.

”Sister, is this dish not to your liking?”

The Queen pretended to be concerned and even picked up an appetizing hawthorn cake for Noble Consort Su.

”Thank you for your concern, big sister. Maybe it's because I've been working hard these days, I'm a bit tired.”

She lowered her head and took a small bite of the hawthorn cake, her heart still thinking about Shen Zhu.

If Shen Zhu was a princess of the Qi Kingdom, then her wishful thinking would be in vain. She had long noticed that Shen Zhu was not in a good mood, and if she returned to the Qi Kingdom, the Emperor of the Qi Kingdom would definitely not be able to see her being wronged, hence the marriage with Zong Wen.

Moreover, this Shen Zhu and Xiao Mo were unclear, but they had obviously given Zong Wen a green hat.

Noble Consort Su was getting more and more unsatisfied with Shen Zhu.

During the break in the banquet, Shen Zhu made an excuse saying that it would be convenient for him to go out of the hall quickly.

”I've finally found my chance.”

she whispered, looking around. There was no one else but the busy servants.

Shen Zhu prepared to directly leave the palace, escape from Xiao Mo first, and then return back to the Shen Family to ask his father if he knew about her background, and that piece of jade.

However, before she could even run a few steps, her collar was pulled back.

”Where to? I'll send you off. ” Xiao Mo's voice sounded from behind him, giving him an additional creepy feeling.

When he saw her walking out of the hall, he felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, he was alert.

He grabbed her collar and a cold light flashed in the man's eyes. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. Was it that uncomfortable being together with him?

Xiao Mo pursed his lips, frowned and looked at the woman's head, his fingers touching her slender neck, as though he would only need to slightly twist it, and she would not need to go anywhere.

”No need, I'm not going anywhere.”

Shen Zhu turned his head in embarrassment, as his soul continued to linger around him.

She couldn't see his expression clearly, but she knew that he must be a little angry.
