The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

Mo Lei listened quietly to Princess Jue Ling's complaints, a faint smile on his face. After she calmed down a little, he slowly said, "Princess, please calm down first. It's not worth getting sick from anger."

Princess Jue Ling rolled her eyes at him in anger and said nothing. Mo Lei, seeing this, did not get angry, but continued, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about why your plan was so easily known to His Majesty?"

Princess Jue Ling was stunned for a moment, then as if she had thought of something, she suddenly raised her head and stared at Mo Lei with burning eyes: "You mean... my brother... has been spying on me?"

Mo Lei didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pretended to ponder, narrowing his eyes slightly. His slender fingers tapped the table lightly, making a "tap, tap" sound, as if he was thinking about something important. A moment later, he suddenly laughed out loud, with a hint of sarcasm, mockery, and a chilling chill in his laughter. Princess Jue Ling was startled by his sudden laughter. Her eyebrows knitted slightly, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction and confusion: "Mo Lei, what are you laughing at? I'm asking you a question!"

Mo Lei's laughter suddenly stopped. He slowly lowered his hand, staring sharply at Princess Jue Ling, a playful smile on his lips: "Your Highness, have you not yet realized the crux of the matter?"

Princess Jue Ling was even more confused by his words, and her tone became anxious: "What exactly do you want to say? Speak clearly!"

Mo Lei did not directly answer her question, but instead asked, "Princess, have you ever thought about why His Majesty is so concerned about Sister Cen Xiao's affairs? Why did His Majesty know your plan so easily?"

Princess Jue Ling was shocked, and a terrible thought flashed through her mind, but she didn't dare to believe it, nor did she want to believe it. She could only pretend to be calm and said, "You...what do you mean?"

The smile on Mo Lei's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold and indifferent expression. He said word by word, "Your Highness, I laugh at your naiveté, your foolishness, and the way you are blinded by family affection! Do you really think that His Majesty knows nothing about what you have done over the years?"

He paused deliberately, observing Princess Jue Ling's expression. Seeing her pale face and rapid breathing, he knew his guess was correct, so he continued, "It's been so many years since the incident, and the surveillance of you..."

Mo Lei's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Princess Jue Ling's heart, leaving her with waves of stinging pain and suffocation. She couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it. Her brother had been secretly monitoring her! Those plans she thought were flawless, those secrets she thought were well hidden, had actually been seen by her brother?

"No, it's impossible!" Princess Jue Ling stood up suddenly, her face pale and her lips trembling as she said, "Royal brother...how could he..."

She couldn't say any more. Mo Lei's words kept echoing in her mind, like a spell, trapping her in the abyss of fear and despair.

Mo Lei looked at Princess Jue Ling coldly, his eyes devoid of any sympathy or pity, only endless ridicule and contempt. "Your Highness, do you really think that His Majesty knows nothing about what you've done these past few years?" His voice was low and icy, like a call from hell, sending chills down Princess Jue Ling's spine. "Have you ever considered that your plan against Sister Cen Xiao has failed before it even began? Why is His Majesty so concerned about Sister Cen Xiao's affairs?"

Princess Jue Ling shook her head weakly. She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she dare to face it.

"That's because His Majesty... already has Sister Cen Xiao in his heart!" Mo Lei deliberately dragged out his voice, observing Princess Jue Ling's expression. Seeing that she was completely consumed by fear, he slowly uttered the last few words.

"boom!"

Princess Jue Ling's mind was like a thunderclap, dizzy and dark. Her brother... was in love with Sister Cen Xiao? How could this be possible? This was absolutely impossible!

She couldn't accept this fact, nor could she believe it. How could the emperor fall in love with Xiao, Cen's sister? What was so good about that woman? She was just a commoner with a humble background and no background. Why did she deserve the emperor's favor? Why?

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Princess Jue Ling screamed. She rushed to Mo Lei, grabbed his collar, and shouted hysterically, "You are lying to me! You must be lying to me! How could my brother fall in love with that woman? How could he... No, my brother must be a good emperor. He cannot lose his throne. If he loses his throne, my position as princess..."

"Your Highness, please calm down." Mo Lei calmly pushed Princess Jue Ling's hand away and said calmly, "You should know best whether I have lied to you. Think about it carefully. Has Your Majesty ever been so devoted to a woman over the years? Has he ever been so concerned about a woman that he would go against the Queen Mother's wishes to keep her?"

Princess Jue Ling shuddered slightly. Mo Lei's words were like a sharp blade, ruthlessly ripping through her facade and forcing her to face the harsh reality. Yes, my brother, in all these years, had truly never shown such devotion to a woman. He had always been lukewarm towards the concubines in the harem, not even bothering to offer a perfunctory response. However, his attitude towards Sister Cen, Xiao, was completely different.

He would step forward without hesitation when Sister Cen Xiao was in danger, even at the risk of clashing with the Queen Mother. For Sister Cen Xiao, he would make an exception and allow her to freely enter and leave the palace, even freely entering and leaving his bedroom. For Sister Cen Xiao, he would not hesitate to scold his own sister, whom he had doted on since childhood...

All of this shows that the emperor is really moved by Sister Cen Xiao and has true feelings for her!

"No! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! My brother finally became emperor." Princess Jue Ling slumped to the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string. She couldn't accept this fact, couldn't bear this blow. But now, she had to watch helplessly as her brother fell in love with a spy from the enemy nation, and she was powerless to do anything. Moreover, this woman, this spy, was the very person she hated the most and wanted to get rid of the most!

"Your Highness, do you understand now? If you want to win the heart of His Majesty, you must get rid of Sister Cen Xiao! Only when she dies will you have a chance!" Mo Lei looked down at Princess Jue Ling, a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

Princess Jue Ling suddenly raised her head and stared at Mo Lei with a dangerous glint in her eyes. "You...what did you say?"

Mo Lei had a devilish smile on his face. He slowly leaned over and whispered in Princess Jue Ling's ear, "I can help you get rid of Sister Cen Xiao, but..."

He paused deliberately, observing Princess Jue Ling's expression. Seeing that she showed no disgust or rejection, he continued, "You must agree to one condition of mine..."
