"Ran Er …" Yan Mo stood in the middle of the courtyard filled with Purple Smoked Flower Grass, his eyes dim, and spoke to Qiao Qiao with a heavy tone.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Qiao returned to his senses after the pleasure of avenging Die'er and spoke to Yan Mo Chen happily.

"Did you invite me to the Cold Palace today just to use me to take revenge for Die'er?" Yan Mo Chen lowered his eyebrows, his brows were filled with pain.

Qiao Qiao's mouth was still agape and she was momentarily at a loss for words. Speaking of which, the reason she had invited Yan Mo Chen to this meeting was indeed to take revenge for Die'er, but … Did she use him? It seemed like … He was using it a little bit.

"Did you know that I was so excited about my date that I didn't sleep last night? The more I guess, the more excited I get. I just can't wait to see what kind of surprise you'll receive today at noon … "

The more Yan Mo Chen spoke, the more agitated he became. His cold expression actually had a hint of anger added onto it.

"You can take into account the feelings of everyone around you, you are willing to take care of the lives of everyone around you, and you are even willing to rack your brains and spare no effort to help a dead person seek revenge, help her soul rest in peace, and even fear death. But I am the only one left alive in front of you, and you don't care about me at all …"

The corner of Qiao Qiao's mouth twitched, and her fingers unconsciously curled up. She hadn't thought too much about it after meeting Yan Mo Chen yesterday. She had merely wanted to give Luo Qing Qing the greatest punishment, but she hadn't expected to ignore his feelings.

"So, using me is the biggest surprise you've given me today. I've always thought about it, but I never thought that it would turn out like this …"

Yan Mo Chen laughed involuntarily. His disappointed eyes were clear as day. He lowered his arm and walked out of the cold palace without any hesitation.

Qiao Qiao was still stunned on the spot, a little entranced. Was she really as he said, willing to take care of everyone but not even the slightest bit of Yan Mo Chen?

Her gaze turned cold as she glanced at the lifeless Luo Qingqing on the ground. Her heart was no longer as carefree as it had been earlier.

"Empress …" Qingwu bit her lips. Seeing her own mistress looking so gloomy, she couldn't help but worriedly call out to her.

"Qingwu, do you think I didn't take Yan Mo Chen's hair into account?" she asked in a daze.

"How could the Empress be? The emperor was just angry for a moment, that's all. Not long later, the emperor will come back to coax the Empress. The Empress and the emperor's relationship as servants has always been watching." Qingwu comforted.

"Perhaps, what he said is also true …." Qiao Qiao's eyes remained downcast as he replied indifferently. He then turned around and moved out of the cold palace mechanically.

Sunset. Twilight descended, and the entire earth was enveloped in a dark world.

Yan Mo Chen sat alone in the Hall of Tranquil Heart. He was calm and collected, and even though he had a calm expression, the mess on the ground clearly showed that he had been enraged. He was even more furious than he was in the past.

At this point, even an ant would have to carefully crawl about in the Hall of Kindness, not daring to make the slightest sound in fear of provoking another wave of great anger …

The situation in the palace was much better than the one in the Heartrest Palace. After Qiao Qiao returned from the Cold Palace, he did not eat nor drink. He just sat there blankly on his bed, not moving at all, not saying a word.

"Sister Qingwu, what should we do with the Empress's current appearance?"

Xiu Luan and Qingwu stood outside the main hall, occasionally peeking at Qiao Qiao. But no matter how many times they looked at her, the Empress was always the same. If this went on, they didn't know what to do.

"Sigh."

Qingwu let out a light sigh. Although the Empress always said that she no longer had any feelings for the Emperor, she could clearly see that her own Empress' feelings for the Emperor had only increased after she entered the Demon Palace. However, because of resentment and helplessness, they had all been suppressed to the depths of her heart.

"The Empress has not used her lunch since then. If she doesn't eat tonight, how can her body take it? Besides, the Empress has a little prince in her stomach." Xiu Luan's face was filled with anxiety. Seeing the empress's haggard appearance, she felt both helpless and heartbroken.

Qingwu lowered her eyebrows and kicked her feet as she looked into the inner hall. Qiao Qiao's eyes were still empty and her expression was still cold. She didn't move at all and instead, stomped her feet in anxiety.

"No, I can only go find the Emperor!" This was precisely the so-called 'heart sick' and 'heart sick'. Only the emperor could look at the Empress' illness!

This won't do, Sister Qingwu, right now, your majesty must be furious. If you touch her face at this moment, not only might you not be able to help the Empress, you will also be punished. At that time, the Empress and your majesty will be even more unable to repair the situation. Xiu Luan's pupils tightened as he pulled back Qingwu and said.

"We can't care so much now. The Empress doesn't eat or drink right now. If this goes on, the Empress and the little prince will be in danger." Qingwu's brows furrowed as she pushed away the sleeve of the Luan and stubbornly headed in the direction of the Heart Nurturing Palace.

"Then I'll go with you!" Xiu Luan nodded her head. This was probably the only way. She quickly walked forward and caught up to Qingwu's footsteps.

With the departure of Qingwu and Xiu Luan, the palace once again regained its tranquility …

In the silent palace, the busiest yet filled with killing intent was Huiji Palace.

Yu Zihui sat in front of the table with a cold expression on his face. In front of him was a middle-aged man in black clothes, his fists clenched and his face filled with hatred.

"Bang …!" The middle-aged man fiercely hammered the table as he stood up, full of anger, and shouted, "I don't care what that old man said, today I will personally kill that demoness!"

"Uncle Luo, don't be rash!" Seeing the man's extreme anger, Yu Zihui hurriedly stood up and pulled at his impulsive body, "We are all very sad for Xiruo's death, but Qiao's Master once said that we can't touch her now."

"You can't move! Still can't move! That demoness first broke the tendons in Rong'er's arms and legs, and then beat up my Luo Family. Not only did she insult Qing Qing, she also forced Qing Qing to a miserable death.

The middle-aged man tilted his head slightly, the corner of his eyes slanting in and landing directly on Luo Cheng's face. His dark, blurry face could clearly be seen, there was no doubt that he was Prime Minister Luo.

"But …" Yu Zihui lowered his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. After all, there were so many cruel things piled up in front of him.

"Even if I have to stake my old life today, I will avenge Ren-er and Qingqing!" Prime Minister Luo's expression was stiff as he flipped his hand, causing a black veil to cover his face as he leaped.

Yu Zihui took a step forward, but could only watch Prime Minister Luo walk away impulsively, unable to do anything.

If even Prime Minister Luo were to be exposed now, it would be difficult for them to continue their plan …

Sigh. She watched the retreating figure of Prime Minister Luo as she sighed deeply, hoping that his departure this time wouldn't affect the overall situation.

Yan Mo Chen was sitting quietly on the hall in the Heartrest Palace. However, at this moment, a loud noise came from the door. He did not care about his own life.

"This servant is a palace maid from the palace. If there really is something I need to see the emperor for, then I'd like to ask eunuch to inform me."

"I'm counting on you. I really have urgent matters to attend to. Please inform me, sir."

Yan Mo Chen frowned deeply. He was so angry that he thought he was a member of the Palace, but who would have thought that he would deliver himself up so soon!

"Zhao Dehai, let them in!" Yan Mo Chen bellowed from the main hall.

Eunuch Zhao's body trembled. This emperor had even called him by name, so he was afraid that these two girls wouldn't be able to obtain any benefits even if they entered. He could only sigh and open up a path.

"Servant Qingwu, Sleeve Luan greets Your Majesty." The two of them hurriedly paid their respects after entering the hall.

Yan Mo Chen's face was cold, but he did not speak.

"After the emperor's mother returned from the cold palace, she did not eat nor drink nor did she speak. She has already been sitting there for an entire day." Qingwu's personality was anxious. Although the emperor didn't order her to speak, she couldn't help but speak.

Sure enough, Yan Mo Chen's handsome face turned even darker. He raised his hand and shouted towards the door, "Men! Drag this disobedient palace maid down and punish her 20 yuan!"

"Your majesty!" Qingwu was stunned as she spoke with a panicked expression.

"Hurry up and drag it out!" Yan Mo Chen shouted with a cold voice.

"Yes." Two guards came forward and dragged the panic-stricken Qingwu down with great force.

"Your majesty, please let Qingwu go." Xiu Luan glanced at it before immediately kneeling down and pleading.

"Whoever begs for mercy shall be punished together!"

It was clear that Yan Mo Chen wanted to make fun of the people from the Qian Qing Palace, so Qingwu slammed into the gun and quickly bowed. She bit her lower lip and said to Yan Mo Chen:

"Your majesty, my mother hasn't eaten for a day. She's afraid the fetus in her womb might be in danger!"

Once he said that, Yan Mo Chen's eyes became sluggish, and a look of joy appeared on his cold face. He waved his hand to signal the guards to release Qingwu, then he asked the Luan Luan in a small voice: "What did you say?"

"This servant said that the Empress has a prince in her womb. I'm afraid that I can't stand for her to not eat or drink, to the point where I feel heartbroken." Xiu Luan could only muster the courage to repeat.

"Prince?!" Yan Mo Chen's face was filled with joy. Could it be that the incident where Ran Er was harmed was fake? The baby was still in her womb! It was actually still here!

"Let's go, we will ride the Qian Qing Palace with us!" Yan Mo Chen immediately threw aside the fact that Qiao still used him today. His face was filled with ecstasy as he waved his hands at Xiu Luan and Qingwu, and with that, he rushed out of the Hall of Tranquil Heart.
