Chapter 62

Chapter 62—Are You Really Going to Treat Me So Coldly?

“A good idea,” the Empress praised Mo Qinghan .

Mo Qinghan’s fear morphed into happiness . She just knew that Mo Qinghan would find a way to help her .

Mo Qingli knit her eyebrows . The meaning of the plan was clear: to find a scapegoat . That way they could point a finger against the Fengchao Dynasty, claiming that the Motian Dynasty was being framed . Afterwards the Motian Dynasty could sit on the sidelines while the other two powers fought each other to the death .

Only, Xiaoyao Yunshang and Feng Qingjue’s images suddenly flashed in her mind . If it was really like this, then what would happen to them?

Mo Qingli raised her head . “Mother Empress, this daughter…”

Without waiting for her to finish, the Empress waved her hand in dismissal . “Li-er, why don’t you leave first . Han-er and Qin-er, the two of you remain, I have something to discuss with you!”

Mo Qingli wanted to say something, but seeing the Empress’s impatience could only back down and leave .

“This daughter asks to be excused . ”

As she left, she cast a glance towards Mo Qinghan and Mo Qingqin . They looked back at her with expressions of pride and ridicule .

Turning away, she exited the main hall .

The Imperial Palace at night was a cold and desolate place, without the trace of any other humans . Mo Qingli tightly pulled her clothes closer to her body, her expression slightly self-deprecating as she realized that the cold had made her feel somewhat lonely . Before she had cultivated underground by herself for nearly ten thousand years without feeling any loneliness, but now, merely by not seeing any other humans around her, she felt alone .

Still, this kind of feeling made Mo Qingli feel like something wasn’t quite right .

“Sixth Princess, please stay a little longer . ”

From behind came a smooth and suave voice, interrupting Mo Qingli’s thoughts . Turning around, she caught a glance of the person who had addressed her, and her expression hardened a few degrees .

Despite her reservations, she remained courteous as she addressed him, bowing: “Imperial Concubine Xuan . ”

If there was one thing that Mo Qingli despised about this place, it was that people were always referring to each other with honorifics .

“Hehe… the Sixth Princess is too courteous . ” Ouyang Haoxuan lightly laughed . He walked over to Mo Qingli’s side, supporting her arm . “Please rise . ”

Mo Qingli felt his warm hands against her elbow and furrowed her eyebrows, quickly retreating . “Since Imperial Concubine Xuan has no business with this royal daughter, then this daughter will ask to withdraw first . ”

Saying this, Mo Qingli turned around to leave .

Ouyang Haoxuan didn’t allow her to leave so easily . He ran up to her, grabbing her hand again . “Li-er . ”

His voice was sweet to the core, reminiscent of fresh honey, making it irresistible to those who heard it . Pity, he was talking to a jiangshi who happened not to like honey .

“Remove, your, hand . ” Mo Qingli’s face hardened another three degrees, enunciating the phrase word by word . Her black pupils appeared especially chilly in the darkness of night .

Ouyang Haoxuan had never seen Mo Qingli like this . Seeing her talk like this, he released her arm in shock . Still, he wasn’t young and ignorant either, so he grabbed her arm again, this time refusing to let go .

“Li-er,” Ouyang Haoxuan’s eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of tears, which he directed now at Mo Qingli . “Are you really going to treat me so coldly?”

Mo Qingli felt an incomprehensible feeling emerge inside of her . Since she had arrived into this body, including this encounter, then they had only met twice . Then how come he was suddenly talking about how cold she was to him?
