The fame of the Crown Princess Xi Lingxue made the Fifth Prince feel more threatened. If he killed her, his father would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly and give an explanation to the State of Wei, otherwise the two countries would go to war in no time.

It was done openly. After all, she led the people to prosperity and won praise from the emperor and a group of ministers.

Not only would she offend the Emperor, but she would also offend the people of Xinzheng. By that time, the loss would outweigh the gain, so she could only find a way to use underhanded tricks to destroy her reputation.

Ever since Xi Lingxue became famous, Ruan Yao could hear people praising her wherever she went. She had been recognized by the emperor and the people in just a few months of marrying the prince, which made her feel unwilling.

She walked around in the boudoir with a vicious look in her eyes, gritting her teeth and saying, "Xi Lingxue, what ability do you have to be recognized by the emperor? Isn't it just making a few snacks for the people? Do you really think you are Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

"If it weren't for you, the prince would definitely marry me as his principal wife. I won't accept this. I won't accept this. How can I be worse than you? I am the daughter of the left prime minister and the most talented woman in Xinzheng. Why can't the prince see my goodness and marry you, a person from Wei?"

Her eyes were full of pain and despair. The first time she saw Mo Yan, she fell in love with him for his sense of justice and his handsome appearance deeply attracted her.

The second time she was brought to the palace to see him, she fell completely in love with him after learning that he was the second prince.

Later, she kept looking for opportunities to meet Mo Yan, but Mo Yan never gave her any chance. However, Ruan Yao just couldn't forget him.

The love she felt was twisted into hatred because she couldn't get the love she wanted.

The last time I saw Mo Yan and Xi Lingxue together, the flame of jealousy burned in my heart.

Xi Lingxue was as beautiful and charming as a fairy, and her smile was as bright as the sunshine, which was exactly what Ruan Yao hated.

Her heart was filled with hatred and she began to regard Xi Lingxue as her enemy and was full of hostility towards her.

He secretly swore that he would make Xi Lingxue feel the pain of unrequited love.

In Ruan Yao's eyes, Xi Lingxue became the object of her hatred, and this hatred also made her gradually lose herself.

She was of low status and her words carried little weight, so her parents advised her to get married quickly and stop thinking about becoming the crown prince. However, she would not listen to anyone's advice and was determined to deal with Xi Lingxue. Her parents were so scared that they locked her in the room and would not let her go out, fearing that she would bring disaster to the Ruan family.

A few days ago, the imperial physician discovered that Concubine Yi was pregnant. The emperor was very pleased and invited the ladies of all the mansions to attend a banquet to celebrate his continued health and well-being.

The Fifth Prince has been unable to find a suitable opportunity. It happens that there will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow, and Concubine Yi's father is his disciple. In order to bring down Xi Lingxue, he disregards any idea.

It's already the end of November and there have been two heavy snowfalls. Xi Lingxue is so cold that she doesn't want to move, let alone go out. If it weren't for the palace banquet, she wouldn't be invited at all. But who would dare not go if the emperor gave the order?

Today, when they were lying on the bed, Xi Lingxue naturally placed her cold feet on Mo Yan's abdomen to keep them warm.

Mo Yan also took her delicate feet in his arms.

"Is this better?"

"Much better. I can't stand the cold even before the coldest time in Zheng State begins. I have to attend a banquet tomorrow, and I don't know if there will be any conspiracy waiting for me tomorrow."

"It's not convenient for me to go to the women's quarters, so let Ye Qing and the others protect you closely. If anyone dares to speak rudely to you, do whatever you want. I'll take the blame if anything happens."

"You can talk to people in the palace but you can't make close friends with them. They may look kind, but they are sinister and vicious inside."

Xi Lingxue rubbed against Mo Yan's arms, "I know!"

Mo Yan stroked Xi Lingxue's black hair and said lovingly, "You are so afraid of the cold. When Zheng State stabilizes, we will go back to Penglai for the winter and go to Dian State in the summer. I heard that it is like spring there all year round."

"Is there really such a place?"

"I heard that. If you want to go, I'll go with you."

"I didn't feel cold before, but since I was seriously injured last time, I feel cold very badly, and my physical condition is not as good as before."

"I was seriously injured last time and my body was damaged. Now I need to recuperate well."

"I now drink the spiritual spring water in the space every day to regulate my body. It should be enough in a year or so."

"Once you are well again, we will give birth to a son, raise him up and leave him to our father's service. We will travel around like our master and spend the winter wherever we want."

"Do you have the final say? Your father will agree."

"The child has grown up, and it's enough to help him share his worries and solve his problems. It doesn't matter who is there."

"Is it really okay for you to plot against my child before he's even born?"

"It's only right that he pay a small price for his parents' happiness."

"Will the child be so frightened after hearing such words that he won't be reborn?"

"Our son is very brave. He came here in the midst of wind, rain and thunder."

Xi Lingxue sighed: "I don't know whether being your son is a good thing or a bad thing."

Mo Yan touched his side profile and said proudly: "It must be a good thing. His father is handsome and his mother is smart. It is a blessing for him to be born into our family."

"It's a blessing to have your father planning your future before you were born. I think it's more likely that you will be bullied."

"It's okay to bully the child a little to make his mother happy."

Xi Lingxue burst into laughter because of Mo Yan's teasing.

On a quiet night, the moonlight sprinkles in the room like water.

The couple lay quietly in bed, their eyes locked, looking at each other affectionately.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, the world around them became blurry, and only their heartbeats could be heard.

There was tenderness and love in Mo Yan's eyes. He gently stroked Xi Lingxue's hair as if he was touching a precious treasure.

There was a gleam of happiness in Xi Lingxue's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up as she enjoyed the tranquility and warmth of this moment.

Their breathing gradually became more intimate. They could hear each other's heartbeats and feel each other's warmth and longing. There was no need for words; their minds were connected.

Mo Yan slowly lowered his head and kissed Xi Lingxue's lips. The two hugged each other, and soon rapid moans were heard in the room.
