C33 (2/2)

The smell of gunpowder was thick in the air. Just as the two sides came to a standstill, the imperial physician came out of his room and bowed towards the emperor.

”Your majesty, he's awake.”

When the Ye Kingdom envoy heard, he was not in the mood to confront the Emperor, and immediately headed inside.

Mo Ranran stopped chewing the dates, put down the red dates in his hands, stood up and also wanted to go in.

When she stood up, her eyes darkened, and her entire body fell to the ground. Mo Feiye who had been protecting her this whole time, suddenly blocked her with his big hand, and supported her.

”Still trying to show off after getting injured.” Mo Feiye glanced at Mo Ranran's bloodless face and spoke softly.

Mo Ranran leaned on Mo Feiye, and her voice was a little powerless: ”I didn't want to either.”

If she was weak, she would be suspected...

After resting for a while, Mo Ranran walked into the house. Looking at her back, he frowned.

Even with the scented sachet concealing the smell of blood on her body, the smell was stronger. Her wounds must have been split open.

Suppressing the impulse to directly bring her away, Mo Feiye followed him in.

Inside the house, Ye Qingxuan was leaning on the bed, struggling to get off the bed when he saw Mo Ranran coming in.

Seeing that Ye Qingxuan wanted to get up, Mo Ranran shook his head, signalling him not to get up.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the people around him. The light in his eyes flickered, and he no longer wanted to struggle.

”Your Highness, do you remember why you are there?” Ye Kingdom envoy asked carefully.

”I was originally going to go to the main hall, only to be knocked unconscious by someone and forced into a room. After that, I felt very uncomfortable, and then you guys came.” Ye Qingxuan hesitated, and said slowly.

In his words, there was not a single mention of Mo Ranran. It was as if Mo Ranran had never been to the abandoned academy.

”Did you see the man clearly?” The emperor's face was ashen. Someone actually dared to rob people in the palace.

”That person's face is covered, I can't see clearly.” Ye Qingxuan's voice was very soft and weak to the point that it caused one's heart to ache.

The emperor comforted Ye Qingxuan a bit, then left with the empress in a hurry.

There were so many imperial guards in the palace, yet they were sneaked into the palace without being discovered.

He had to investigate this matter, and investigate until the end!

”Are you all right?” After the Emperor left, Ye Qingxuan dismissed the servants, looked at Mo Ranran who was sitting by the bed, and said secretly.

”Not bad.” Mo Ranran threw a red jujube into his mouth.

”Did I do anything too excessive to you?” Ye Qingxuan looked at Mo Ranran with a complicated gaze. He remembered that he had pressed her down and even torn off her clothes.

”If you did something, I'd come to see you?” Fortunately, she ran away in time. If her innocence had been ruined by that man, then no matter what he did, she would have personally killed him! In that situation, it was extremely urgent. In order to maintain his rationality, Mo Ranran had to remove the jade hairpin from his head and cut his own hand to maintain his rationality.

After she staggered out, she met Palace Woman Xu, the woman who helped her.

”As long as you're fine.” Hearing Mo Ranran's reply, Ye Qingxuan felt relieved from a burden. If he really did do something to Mo Ranran, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

”Rest well, don't let your thoughts run wild.” After finishing the last red date, Mo Ranran stood up and left.

After making sure that Ye Qingxuan was alright, she decided that it was time to leave as well.

Mo Ranran left from Ye Qingxuan's place and did not leave the palace.

”Why did you save me?” Mo Ranran slowly said as he turned the teacup in his hand and looked at the woman sitting in front of him.

She and Palace Woman Xu had never met each other before, but Palace Woman Xu had come to her rescue just now.

”Saving you was just a whim.” Palace Woman Xu was very beautiful, with a smile and a frown that carried a certain charm.

”A whim?” Mo Ranran raised her eyebrow, if it was just a moment of excitement, then where did she get the antidote?

”I just can't stand her taking that medicine to hurt people.” Palace Woman Xu didn't want to say anything more to her at first. After all, those memories were unbearable for her.

”Is she the queen?” Mo Ranran's hands paused, and after a long while, she finally spoke.

When she appeared today, other than the empress, who had a strange expression on her face, the others didn't seem surprised at all.

She suspected that the empress had asked someone to do it, but she wasn't sure. It was only when she purposefully frightened the palace maid that she realized the empress's guilt.

By now, she was even more suspicious of the empress.
