My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

"Mo Ran..." Yan Ruobing muttered.

The face of the man in red was covered with a layer of coldness and murderous intent, and his voice was as cold as ice, "You are not qualified to call her name!"

Yan Ruobing's whole body stiffened and she looked carefully.

Isn’t this the man in red that I saw at the inn that day?

At first glance, she doesn't look like her, but upon closer inspection, she looks very similar.

If you separate the facial features, they look very similar, but when you put them together, it's a completely different person.

"You are, him?..." Yan Ruobing asked this question in a puzzling way.

Li Mo nodded: "Yes, I am!"

"How did you get in?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited me to the palace."

Yan Ruobing was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. I should have thought of it at the palace banquet that day... I never dared to underestimate the fourth brother, but in the end I still underestimated him..."

Li Mo said coldly: "I was the one who killed the prince before you. I also deliberately revealed the evil deeds of the queen to your secret guards. Did you see the queen's appearance? I did it too. I cut her body with my own hands. But how can this offset what you did to my mother? The wounds on the queen's body are not even one tenth of the pain my mother suffered before she died. So I spared her life and let her continue to atone for her sins while she is alive. She can't even commit suicide!"

Yan Ruobing listened quietly without any reaction, "It doesn't matter anymore. Nothing matters anymore."

A light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "I am still the emperor, and I can immediately restore your status as a prince. I can enthrone you as the crown prince!"

Li Mo laughed out loud, "Do you think I care about your position? Being your son is a lifelong shame for me!"

The light in Yan Ruobing's eyes suddenly went out, "Are you here to kill your father?"

Li Mo didn't answer, but smiled again.

He has a nice smile, and looks very much like his mother.

Yan Ruobing was stunned again, and her hand holding the sachet tightened again.

"I don't have to kill you. Everything you care about is gone now. In my eyes, you are already a dead man." Li Mo walked over slowly, pried open his hands, and took the sachet away.

"I've come here specifically to take my mother's things because you don't deserve them." After saying this, he walked away.

Yan Ruobing suddenly felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart. He stretched his hands forward desperately, trying to grab something.

But the red figure had disappeared behind the screen.

That sachet was the only thought Li Mo Ran left for him.

When Li Mo came to grab the sachet, he touched his hand. This was the only physical contact between father and son in their lives, but he was trying to steal his most precious thing.

The foul blood in his chest could no longer be contained, soaking the bedding red.

Emperor Chang Yan Ruobing passed away!

……

While Chang and Zhen were experiencing turmoil, Mei Xueer's days in Dongbin Duan Mansion were peaceful and quiet.

She successfully removed the poisonous insect from Du Zheng's body, but Du Zheng remained in a coma. Fortunately, there was no need to seal his meridians anymore.

"Whether he can wake up or not depends on his luck." After the operation, Mei Xueer patted Hua Laoer's shoulder and said, "Take good care of him!"

Xiao Sheng looked at Du Zheng on the bed, then looked at Mei Xueer, and then chased after him, "Aunt Mei——"

Mei Xueer turned around and touched his head, "What are you doing, little brat?"

Xiao Sheng lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before he said in a very small voice, "When I grow up, I want to be like Aunt Mei and save lives... I wonder if Aunt Mei can accept me as her apprentice?"

Mei Xueer was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay. From today on, I will be your master!"

Xiao Sheng's eyes lit up immediately. These days, he had been watching Mei Xue'er treating Du Zheng, so he followed Nan Xing's example and helped out.

Mei Xueer had long discovered that this child was talented and had thought about taking him as her disciple.

But in the end it depends on whether the other person is willing to do so.

Look, before she even opened her mouth, the child spoke first.

"Master!" Xiao Sheng quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Mei Xueer accepted the gift, but her eyes dimmed when she turned around.

Xiao Sheng's word "Master" reminded her of An Ran and the New Year's Eve in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which left an indelible impression on her for the rest of her life.

An Ran called her "Master" all the time, but she never really taught her any skills, which made her feel very guilty.

"I wonder if Anran is doing well now. Will she blame me for leaving suddenly and abandoning her?" she murmured.

Nanxing: "Didn't Miss send a letter to her before? Miss An won't blame Miss."

Mei Xueer: "If she really doesn't blame me, why doesn't she write me back?"

Nanxing: "You didn't tell her where we are? How can she reply?"

Mei Xueer: Yeah, I'm so stupid.

She called Wen Wu over and said, "How about you go to Zhenguo and find out about Wen Yi and An Ran's situation? As for the others..."

She didn't say anything else. She couldn't help with the other family members she cared about.

Her appearance would put them in danger.

Wen Wu took the order and set off, but there was no news from him since then.

The temperature gradually rises and then falls.

Xiao Sheng has made rapid progress and can now take good care of Du Zheng on her own.

For some reason, when he first saw this strange uncle in the yard where many orphans were raised, he felt that he was very friendly.

Now every day when I see him lying quietly in bed, I always wonder if Uncle Monster can get through this and get better.

"We agreed that it would be a month at most. Now it's almost autumn. When will Mr. Li come back? Wen Wu also didn't send a message." That day, Nan Xing saw Mei Xue'er carrying a wine pot and walking to the beach again, "Miss, aren't you worried?"

"How can I not be worried?" Mei Xueer suddenly felt that she was incompetent and could only hide in Dongbin and let others fight for her.

Fortunately, she received a letter from Li Mo sent back by eagle some days ago, saying that the matter of Changguo had been settled, and he had decided to go to Zhenguo to meet Cui Hongjing.

The sea breeze blew on her cheeks, reminding Mei Xueer of the night when she and Li Mo had a passionate kiss here.

She reached out her hand to gather the hair that had drifted to her forehead, and gulped down a mouthful of plum wine. [Goudan, I'll give Li Mo another ten days. If he still can't do it, I'll go find him!]

[You can't go back to Zhen Country!] Goudan quickly advised: [You'll die if you go back!]

【but I……】

[I know you are worried about your family, but going back will only cause more trouble.]

Mei Xueer was silent for a long time: [Tell me, what on earth did Li Mo go to Zhenguo for? Why did he go to meet Cui Hongjing? ]

Goudan: [Who knows? ]

[Alas, there is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just that there are many people carrying heavy burdens for me. I can't hide here forever. In addition to Li Mo, Wen Yi, An Ran, there are also my father, mother, and Qian Yue. I am always worried about them. In addition, Liu Piaopiao said that Princess Anping gave birth to twins. I have a younger brother. I have to find him. And there is also the pervert Helian Lanfeng. No matter where I am, he will not let me go. And Cui Hongqi...]

Goudan chuckled: [You worry about so many things, but none of them is about Cui Hongjing? ]

Mei Xueer: Really not!

Whether he is good or bad, it has nothing to do with her.

Two days later, Mei Xueer learned a major news from the Internet: Emperor Chang Yan Ruobing passed away, and King Chu Yan Yuanzong would ascend the throne after a seven-day state funeral.

The next day, there was new news: Yan Ruobing and the Queen were deeply in love, so the Queen was extremely sad and buried with her.

Mei Xueer sighed: "Whether she died for love or was killed by the King of Chu, it doesn't matter. As long as Li Mo is satisfied with this ending, it's fine!"

"Miss, the sea breeze is cold, let's go back." Nanxing reminded.

Mei Xueer stood up, stretched, and casually took out a bottle of moisturizing cream and threw it to her, "Try this, anyone who uses it will know."

She took out three more bottles and said, "Please give these three bottles to Aunt Meng, A-Suo and A-Zi."

These two little girls, one guarded her like a shadow every day, and the other prepared food for her every day, which was really thoughtful. Not to mention Aunt Meng, who treated her like her own mother.

"Thank you, Miss." Nanxing was no longer surprised by the Miss's habit of conjuring up strange things at any time.

Mei Xueer was about to go back home with Nanxing when she suddenly heard a "ding" sound in her mind.

She looked carefully and a piece of information popped up: The Queen Mother of Zhenguo has passed away!

Her body stiffened, her mind became dazed, her nose felt sore, and she almost cried.

Although she had known for a long time that the Queen Mother would not live long, when the moment finally came, she still felt it was too sudden.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother, she would not have been able to gain a foothold in the Imperial Palace or in Prince Jing's Mansion.

The Queen Mother was her benefactor and the only person in the palace at that time who was truly kind to her.

She was also thinking that after returning, she would take good care of the empress dowager's health and show her filial piety, but she no longer had the chance.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Nanxing noticed that something was wrong with her and asked hurriedly.

Mei Xueer's eyes became redder: "Nanxing, the Queen Mother is gone..."

"What? ...No...Miss, how do you know?..."
