When Mo Ranran left the Imperial Study, he coincidentally met with the Ye Kingdom Emperor. The man was dressed in black, and his entire body was emitting a dense malevolent aura. A scar ran across his face diagonally, all the way to his neck.

Even though it had already healed, the wound was still very sinister. It was clear how severely injured he was at that time, and it was hard to imagine that the Emperor, who was of the Ye Kingdom, would actually have such a deep scar on his face.

Mo Ranran's pupils slightly shook, his expression was calm as he saluted Ye Ao and slowly retreated.

Ye Ao had thought that the lady in front of him would be like the woman who had seen him before, screaming out loud. The expected scream did not come out, but she did not even see a trace of panic on her face.

Ye Ao watched Mo Ranran leave after saluting, and his sharp and cold eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was thinking about something. He covered the emotions in the depths of his eyes, and pretended to inadvertently ask: ”Excuse me, what princess was that just now?”

Chief Eunuch looked at the direction Mo Ranran left in and said: ”The princesses have all married. The one just now was Old General Mo's direct daughter, Mo Ranran.”

Mo Ranran silently said in his heart. He thought that the person who would be able to remain so calm would be the imperial princess, but he never expected that it would actually be Mo Hao's direct daughter.

Ye Ao thought back to many years ago, when he was clad in armor, and had a grand presence.

His father was so outstanding that even his daughter wasn't inferior to him.

”Your Majesty Ye Kingdom, the Emperor has already been waiting at the Imperial Study for a long time.” heard the voice of the Chief Eunuch.

Ye Ao looked at the magnificent Imperial Study, an unfathomable light flashed past his eyes, and he took a step towards Mu Ling.

Seated on the high seat, Mu Ling looked at the slowly approaching Ye Ao, and his eyes slightly narrowed. It had been a long time since he had last seen that handsome and gentle man.

Ye Ao stopped in front of Mu Ling. Raising his head, his eyes were as dark as the night, making it impossible for others to see even the slightest hint of emotion from them.

Seeing that Ye Ao actually did not bow, Chief Eunuch berated: ”How dare you! They actually didn't bow when they saw the emperor! ”

The Emperor waved his hands towards the Chief Eunuch, signalling him to bring his men away. The Chief Eunuch looked at the Emperor, saluted, and led the eunuchs in the hall out of the Imperial Study.

”What happened to your face?” The Emperor's brows slightly drew back, and his voice had a trace of complexity mixed within.

”My face is fine, I don't need you to pretend to care.” Ye Ao coldly opened her mouth, her voice carrying a trace of ridicule.

During the time when the rebel army was pressing down on the palace, he and Qingxuan were scattered by the rebel army on the way out of the palace. On the way, he had been in numerous dangerous situations and the people around him had all died as well.

The scar on his face was the same one that had been cut by the rebel army at that time. If that slash had been any deeper, it would have split his face into two halves.

Even though he had been saved, he, who was seriously injured, had fainted for a long time. When he woke up, he found out that this little person, Mu Ling, actually did not care about his former relationship with him at all.

In order to preserve the throne that he had just obtained, his royal uncle had to pay tribute to the Mu Kingdom every year with gold, silver, and jewelry.
