C16 There Was No One Behind Him

Yun Moxi froze on the spot as she felt the weight of a thousand gold coins under her feet.

Nangong Shen saw this and pulled her away. The sky had already darkened when they left the dungeon.

"Emperor... Why did you bring me to that place?" Yun Moxi whispered, but she did not dare to look up at Nangong Shen. This man was too terrifying.

"He is a spy of the foreign race and has received training."

"So what?"

Nangong Shen felt Yun Moxi's hand was bone-chillingly cold. His Adam's apple moved slightly before he slowly said, "The information he has is enough to destroy the entire Northern Kingdom. If he is allowed to live, then there will be chaos during the war. Blood will flow like rivers in the Northern Kingdom."

Yun Moxi slowly raised her head and found that Nangong Shen's face was no longer filled with hostility. Instead, it was filled with helplessness.

Did she see wrongly? He was a high and mighty king, just like her father. He was a leader of a region.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that this matter was so serious." As the princess of the Fox Clan, she had been protected since she was young. How could she know about the human world? She also did not know what Nangong Shen had been through since he was young.

"I have been used to these things since I was young." As Nangong Shen walked, he suddenly stopped. Yun Mo paused for a moment. He had been used to these things since he was young? What kind of feeling was that?

"It was my Royal Mother's first time. I watched her, covered in blood, fall in front of me."

Nangong Shen stared into the distance with an indifferent tone. No one could tell what he was thinking.

"You are the Emperor, the king above all."

Yun Moxi whispered.

"So what if you are the king above all? You are still alone."

There was a hint of ridicule in Nangong Shen's tone.

After spending time with him, Yun Moxi realized that Nangong Shen didn't have any family members around him. She didn't know how to start the conversation. After a long while, she finally said, "Isn't there still the Empress Dowager?"

"Heh."

Nangong Shen laughed coldly when he heard her. If his grandmother had the ability, she would have killed him without hesitation.

"I brought you to the dungeon today to tell you that the Imperial Palace is a place where the idiot won't spit out his bones. If you want to live, you have to be careful. I can save you for a moment, but I can't save you forever." Nangong Shen didn't realize that he was no longer using 'Empress Dowager' when he was facing Yun Moxi.

"I understand. I will be more careful in the future."

Nangong Shen hoped that Yun Moxi would really understand what he meant. In his subconscious, he hoped that Yun Moxi would become the woman who would be by his side.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back first."

Nangong Shen turned around and left after saying that.

After Yun Moxi returned to the palace, she lowered her head listlessly. Madam Yun felt that it was strange. This didn't seem like Yun Moxi's usual behavior.

Yun Moxi suddenly remembered that she was invisible when she climbed over the wall. Why would Nangong Shen still see her? Could it be that the spell had failed again? So she tried again.

"Why? The spell didn't fail. How did Nangong Shen find me?"

The weather was always unpredictable. Just a moment ago, it was still raining and lightning was rumbling. Now, the dark clouds had dispersed and the air was filled with rain and mud.

Yun Moxi opened the small window and sniffed. She was in a good mood. She thought of the spring water in the Fox Clan, but then she realized that she couldn't go back to the Fox Clan. The game and the secular world were both not bad.

"Madam Yun, Yue, let's go out and walk."

Yun Moxi leaned against the railing and looked at the lively fish below the bridge. She felt happy when she saw the lotus flowers below the bridge. The lotus flowers had already revealed their sharp horns and were still wet. There were also dragonflies hanging on them. A drop of water was like a ripple in the water.

"After the rain, I feel much more refreshed."

Yun Moxi leaned on the railing and looked at the fish playing below the bridge. She replied, "Yes, if only I could go down and catch fish." After she finished speaking, she smacked her lips.

When Madam Yun and Yue heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Their master was indeed not an ordinary person.

"Yo, isn't this Worthy Lady Yun? Why is your body so fast?" A soft voice sounded.

Yun Moxi didn't even need to raise her head to know who it was. This woman was really the God of Plagues.

"This servant greets the Noble Consort. With your blessing, this servant's body is no longer in any danger."

She slowly stood up and bowed to Lan Ruxue.

"That's good. It seems that your punishment of kneeling for four hours is still useful. Seeing this palace, you should know how to bow."

Lan Ruxue was dressed in a luxurious jewelry, looking extremely elegant. Seeing Yun Moxi bow, she was even more pleased.

"Is the Noble Consort here to admire the flowers or to watch the fish? What a fine interest."

Yun Moxi stood up, not wanting to waste her breath with Lan Ruxue and prepared to leave.

"Stop." Lan Ruxue quickly walked forward and blocked her path. She said, "Did this palace allow you to leave?"

Yun Moxi frowned in displeasure. What kind of trick was this woman trying to pull?

Yun Moxi had always felt that Lan Ruxue might have some kind of problem. If she liked Nangong Shen, she would have already spent her time on him, not blindly finding trouble with her.

"Madam Yun, let's go back. It's really good to watch the fish, but all the cats and dogs came to ruin the scene." Yun Moxi didn't want to argue with Lan Ruxue, or else she would be punished again.

"Yun Moxi, stop right there. Who are you calling a dog?" Lan Ruxue pulled her back. Because of her, the Emperor had already neglected her for a few days. Now, she actually dared to treat her like this.

"Yun Moxi, don't think that the Emperor has doted on you for a few days and you have become a phoenix. You only have a good-looking skin. After a few days, the Emperor will get tired of you. I want to see how arrogant you are. Who knows what kind of tricks you used to deceive the Emperor?"

"Lan Ruxue, are you crazy? If you have a problem, go and treat it."

Yun Moxi shook off Lan Ruxue's hand. Her fair wrist was scratched by a red mark. Even a fox would get angry at times.

"That's right. This concubine is beautiful, and the Emperor likes those who can't be on the stage. We will discuss the matter after the loss of favor. Now that I have been favored by the Emperor, what can the Noble Consort do to me?"

"You... Yun Moxi, you slut." Lan Ruxue pointed at Yun Moxi's face, which was as red as a pig's liver, and raised her hand to hit her.

Yun Moxi was not stupid. She secretly cast a small spell, and Lan Ruxue's eight chapters landed on Xin's face.

"Aiya, what is wrong with the Noble Consort? Why is she so angry? Don't let your body get hurt." Yun Moxi tried her best to hold back her laughter.

"It's you, it's you who did this? Xin, you guys hold her back."
