Ever since the waiter was frightened by Yan Mo Chen's shout and ran downstairs, the atmosphere in the Fragrant Sky Pavilion became even more awkward.
Qiao was still aware of the fact that enemies would meet each other, but he had never expected that his former lover would be so blood-red!
She couldn't help but tremble inwardly.
"In fact, I'm curious, who exactly is the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion waiting for?" Yan Mo Chen's lips curled up slightly. He looked around him and revealed a hint of curiosity.
Qiao Qiao smiled on the inside. It seemed like he really did not know about the secret communication between her and Zi Ran.
"What does that have to do with you?" Qiao Qiao still frowned, his tone full of estrangement.
"What has it got to do with me? "Haha …" Yan Mo Chen suddenly laughed arrogantly, "Others might not know that in this world, there is nothing that is unrelated to me in the Forgotten Nation!"
Heh! Qiao once again raised his lips and sneered, but didn't say anything.
"Even if you didn't say it, I would have known." Yan Mo Chen frowned with a threatening look on his face. The more he saw the indifference on Qiao Qiao's face, the more furious he became.
"Your Majesty, the palace …" Outside of the Fragrant Sky Pavilion, a loud and clear sound of notification could be heard, following which Yan Mu's eyes were fixed on the same direction as Qiao, staring blankly into space.
"Your Majesty …" His thin lips moved slightly and he stood up straight in front of Yan Mo Chen, but his gaze was on Qiao Qiao. It was difficult to tell whether he was calling Qiao or Yan Mo Chen.
"What is it?" Yan Mo Chen frowned impatiently, then turned to look at Yan Mu and said.
Yan Mu finally regained his senses. He retracted his gaze from Qiao Qiao's body and his face was filled with seriousness. He immediately walked forward and wanted to whisper into Yan Mo Chen's ear.
"No need. There are no outsiders here. Just say it directly." Yan Mo Chen turned his head and looked at Joe who was sitting in front of the table, and spoke with his lips curled up slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." When Yan Mu heard this, he immediately straightened his body and clasped his hands at Yan Mo Chen, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang came to the palace today to meet with the emperor and brought Mister Jiang's beloved daughter with him. It was only after this subordinate asked about it that I found out …" Yan Mu's voice paused for a moment, and he unconsciously looked in the direction that Qiao Qiao was in.
"Feel free to speak!" Yan Mo Chen said with a cold face.
"Yes sir!" Yan Mu lowered his body and retracted his gaze. He continued speaking, "I just found out that Mister Jiang intends to propose a marriage for my daughter."
"Oh? To seek for a marriage alliance? " Yan Mo Chen raised his eyebrows. Even though he had guessed correctly, he still pretended not to know anything in front of Qiao, "What kind of destiny does Lord Jiang want?"
"Reporting to the emperor, Lord Jiang is begging for his beloved daughter to enter the palace as his consort …" He naturally knew that this woman, Qiao Qiao, was not to be trifled with. She was a small woman who would take revenge for every grievance, even a hundred times more vicious. When he thought back to the time when he had stood at the door of the Heart Nurturing Palace and dictated all night, he felt a lingering fear.
"Oh? for a concubine to enter the palace? " Yan Mo Chen purposefully raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, Sir Jiang said so." Yan Mu replied.
"Alright, how can I fail to live up to Sir Jiang's good intentions? Go back and tell Sir Jiang that I will one day marry Miss Jiang and enter the palace." Yan Mo Chen stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.
He knew that the Emperor had always felt that Qiao was the only one who was rejected by the Emperor. Although he did not know what had happened between the Emperor and Qiao, he knew that the Emperor's wounds and injuries all over his body and heart were all due to her, but he still thought that they had each other in their hearts, that once the estrangement in their hearts had been resolved, they would be at peace again. He did not expect that the Emperor would actually respond to his request, and that this would be the first imperial concubine he would accept.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and return to the palace to report to Sir Jiang!" Seeing Yan Mu's blank look, Yan Mo Chen suddenly shouted.
"Yes, your subordinate will go now." Yan Mu came back to his senses, cupped his hands, and turned to leave.
Joe still sat dejectedly at the tea table. Although there was no tea on the table, there was barely enough boiling water to fill her stomach. From time to time, she would sip the boiling water from her cup and watch Yan Mo Chen self-play a play about the consort entering the palace.
Did he think she would jump up and cry out in rejection?
She naturally understood what qualifications she had now.
She was the Infernal Queen, the heir to the martial arts world, and he was the main culprit behind the destruction of her country, wasn't he?
Hehe! This was extremely funny. Right now, he was the emperor. Even if he really did take in a second wife, what did it have to do with her!
Yan Mo Chen raised his eyebrows, looking at Qiao Qiao's calm face, his deep phoenix eyes were filled with endless indifference, he slowly curled his lips, his heart was filled with coldness, he knew, even if he was a little clown in front of her, she would not care about this farce.
"I'm leaving." The corners of Yan Mo Chen's lips curled up with a hint of bitterness, he spoke slowly, his gaze landing on Qiao Qiao's face.
"Right." Qiao Qiao still indifferently nodded.
Yan Mo Chen did not say anything, he just turned around and walked out of the Fragrant Sky Pavilion.
Joe continued to stare at Yan Mo Chen's broad back as it gradually disappeared. Suddenly, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.
He put on his usual black robe …
He was only Yan Mo Chen, he was no longer the person who stood by her side and thought for her death in the past …
"Miss, our boss has instructed me to brew a pot of good tea for you." The moment Yan Mo Chen left, a servant from the teahouse barged in with tea in his hands.
Qiao once again turned around, wiped the mist from his eyes, suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked: "Your boss?"
"Yes." The servant of the teahouse placed the teacup on the table and, without another word, turned around and left.
Qiao Qiao secretly lowered his brows and raised the teacup in his hand. He placed it in his mouth and took a sip. The strong fragrance of the tea was indeed a good tea.
When Qiao Qiao was still tasting his tea, there was a burst of noise coming from the roof of the Heaven Fragrant Pavilion. Suddenly, a purple figure floated down and saw Zi Ran bowing with her hands, saying with respect:
"Your majesty, this subordinate is late. Please forgive me, your majesty."
Qiao Qiao's lips were still curled up slowly as he put down the teacup in his hand. He stood up and gently helped up the kneeling Zi Ran and couldn't help but laugh. "You're probably the only one who recognizes me as the Emperor now."
Zi Ran stood up and saw that Qiao Qiao was still mocking herself like before. She couldn't help but be a little anxious. "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. This mountain and river will eventually become Your Majesty's."
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past anymore. From now on, just call me Miss." Joe still had his brows down and his smile was soft.
"Right." The Palace Mistress had already disappeared for several months, and he did not know where she had gone to. If he knew that the Emperor had lost his mountains and entered the Demon Palace alone and suffered all these hardships, he would definitely take back the River Mountain for the Emperor and seek justice for him.
It was a pity that the current Zi Ran didn't know that the regent king who had snatched Qiao or was like a mountain was the Palace Mistress of the Supreme Purity Palace that she yearned for in her heart and that was as respectful as a god.
"I've called you here today to ask you to help me with a few things." Qiao Qiao's face was serious as he said this.
"As long as this subordinate is able to help, Lady can speak frankly." Although Zi Ran had changed her way of calling him a lady, the respect in her voice was not any less than before.
"Come …" Qiao Qiao still waved her hand and whispered into her ear for a long time.
The purple woman's eyes widened, but Joe slowly stopped.
"No one is to know about this, including Yan … Do you know about the [Meteor Mantra]? " Qiao Qiao still warned him. If Yan Mo Chen knew about this, he would definitely interfere. She was afraid that she did not want to get involved with Yan Mo Chen too much.
"I won't let Asgard Mistress know about this?" Zi Ran asked with a suspicious expression.
"Right." "Don't let him know. It's not like you don't know that he hates the Demon Palace. If he knew that I was in the Demon Palace and was scheming with you about this, he would have definitely messed up everything, so …" Qiao Qiao still threatened. His face had the look of someone who had just wanted to die. Since Zi Ran did not know Yan Mo Chen's death, it saved her a lot of talking.
"Yes, this subordinate understands." Zi Ran cupped her hands in response. Not to mention that Qiao Qiao still didn't want her to tell her of the technique, but even if she did, she wouldn't be able to find where the Mistress of the Palace was for the time being.
"Hmm, this matter can be completed in a month?" Joe asked, still frowning.
"One month …" Zi Ran pondered for a moment, "It should be possible." She nodded.
"Fine, the faster the better. When that happens, I'll stay inside. You and I will work together outside. This will definitely disturb the Demon Palace and it won't be a problem to wipe it out." Qiao Qiao still had a joyful smile on her face. It seemed that if she wanted to leave the Demon Palace, it would be just around the corner.
"Alright, this subordinate will rely on the lady's orders." Now that she had helped the young lady destroy the Demon Palace, it was because she had helped her palace master resolve a big problem.
"En, go back quickly. Don't let anyone find out." Qiao Qiao still nodded. After she told Zi Ran the details, her mood became even better. The rest would depend on whether or not the development of this month would be as she thought.
"Yes, your subordinate will take his leave." Zi Shan bowed slightly, then leaped out of the window of the Fragrant Sky Pavilion.
Qiao Qiao still had a smile on her face and her eyebrows were filled with joy. Although today, she had accidentally met Yan Mo disrupted her mood, but in the end, it was not a wasted trip to explain things clearly with Zi Ran.
Next, she would have to finish all this entertainment. At the very least, if she were to return to the Demon Palace and be discovered by He Ming You, she would have witnesses to testify for her.
