Tianming Palace
At this moment in the main hall, Mo Xiao Li sat in front of a low table with a gloomy expression, staring silently at Prime Minister Kang who was kneeling before him. Li Fusheng stood respectfully to the side, observing the scene, while Zuo Yunqing also stood nearby and said, "Your Majesty, based on my investigations during this period, I have discovered that the mastermind behind the recent assassination attempt is none other than Kang Daren."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Kang cried out, "Your Majesty, you must listen to this old minister! Someone is framing me; you must see through this! I am wronged—"
Mo Xiao Li remained silent, casting a cold glance at Zuo Yunqing, his brows slightly furrowed. Zuo Yunqing immediately understood and said towards the entrance, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in, followed by two others. Prime Minister Kang turned around to look and his face instantly turned pale; he trembled all over and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing this, Mo Xiao Li stood up and walked in front of Prime Minister Kang, coldly asking, "Kang Aiqing, do you know this person before you?"
"I... do not know him," he replied.
Mo Xiao Li let out a cold laugh and then turned to the man saying, "Then look up and see if you recognize this person."
"In response to Your Majesty, it was indeed Prime Minister Kang who instructed several of my brothers to enter the palace and assassinate the Empress. We never expected Your Majesty would be present, which led to mistakenly injuring you. I deserve death; I deserve death—" the man said tearfully.
"You are lying! When have I ever met you? Do not slander me here! Your Majesty, you must not believe such a villain's words!" Prime Minister Kang immediately protested.
"You should know better than anyone whether this is slander. Since I have brought you here today, it is because there is sufficient evidence. In order to cover up your crimes that day, you poisoned and killed several of the Zhang Brothers. Fortunately, he saw through your scheme; otherwise, he would have perished."
As soon as these words were spoken, all strength seemed to drain from Prime Minister Kang, collapsing to the ground. He stared blankly ahead, his eyes devoid of their previous brilliance.
At that moment, a delicate voice suddenly came from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, you must think twice—" Everyone looked up to see Qian Zhao Yi walking in with tears on her face, directly kneeling on the ground and looking towards Mo Xiao Li.
Mo Xiao Li did not expect Qian Zhao Yi to appear so suddenly. He glanced at Prime Minister Kang beside him and said, "I didn't expect Prime Minister Kang's daughter to show up."
Qian Zhao Yi was somewhat confused. She looked up at her father and cried out, "Your Majesty, my father is definitely not that kind of person. He would never do anything to harm you. You must think twice—"
Mo Xiao Li did not want to pay her any mind, but the situation had reached a stalemate. He looked at Qian Zhao Yi with a more piercing gaze and coldly said, "Qian Er, I can overlook everything that has happened before, but I only hope you can behave yourself. However, now that your father has done such a thing, I will not go easy on him no matter what."
After saying this, he turned to Li Fusheng beside him and ordered, "Convey my decree: immediately imprison Prime Minister Kang! Await further orders!" After speaking, he turned and left, completely indifferent to Qian Zhao Yi's cries behind him.
After leaving the Opening Heaven's Sound Palace, Li Fusheng closely followed behind him. The people they passed looked at the emperor with fear in their eyes, kneeling respectfully on the ground without daring to make a sound.
Before long, the two arrived at Qinxiang Garden. Before they even entered, they heard laughter coming from inside. The laughter seemed healing; the gloom in their hearts instantly dissipated as they walked in with smiles.
Originally, Mu Junqi and Ziyue were playing with the Little Prince inside the room until a bright yellow figure appeared before them, prompting them to stop. The others hurriedly knelt down and greeted, "Long live Your Majesty—"
"Get up—" Mo Xiao Li said while walking towards Mu Junqi.
Mu Junqi smiled at him and then handed the Little Prince over to Liu Wet Nurse beside her. She smiled and asked, "What happened today?"
"Why do you ask like that?"
"We've known each other for so long; do you really think I wouldn't understand you?"
Mo Xiao Li felt a surge of happiness upon hearing those words. He never expected that someone who once hated him so deeply would treat him this way now. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace, lowering his head to inhale the fragrance of her hair, feeling the warmth in his arms.
The palace maids and eunuchs nearby quietly withdrew, and once there was no one else in the room, Mo Xiao Li whispered, "The events from a few days ago were all orchestrated by Prime Minister Kang. I had always believed he was devoted to the country, but I never imagined he harbored such ambitions. However, for some reason, I feel like this matter is not as simple as it appears; I sense there is more to it."
Mu Junqi looked at Mo Xiao Li, who was frowning deeply, and gently stroked his cheek before softly saying, "As the Emperor of Western Yan, you naturally encounter many challenges. You must be exhausted during this time, which is why you have such thoughts. Why not take a moment to rest—"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao Li couldn't help but pull her back into his embrace again and said softly, "No matter what happens, I will always trust you this time." With that, he kissed her lips without hesitation.
Mu Junqi did not expect him to act so suddenly; she couldn't help but gasp softly, her face instantly flushing red as she lowered her head. Mo Xiao Li followed her lips with gentle licks, causing the temperature in the room to rise significantly.
After a long while, Mo Xiao Li finally released Mu Junqi. Both of them were panting heavily, and Mu Junqi leaned against Mo Xiao Li, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. Mo Xiao Li, still unsatisfied, said, "You are truly enchanting right now; I can't help myself," and chuckled softly.
Hearing that low laugh and feeling the rhythm of his heartbeat in his chest, Mu Junqi couldn't resist wrapping her arms around his waist and softly saying, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. Whether you believe it or not, my feelings will not change."
In truth, Mu Junqi was just that kind of person—when she loved someone, she poured all her effort into it regardless of who they were. And when she hated someone, she would go against them without regard for the consequences. Now her heart was entirely with Mo Xiao Li, so no matter what happened or how he treated her, she would not choose to leave but instead stay by his side until he accepted her.
