Mo Cerong looked at her, her miserable little face showing the determination to die. In a trance, he seemed to see Su Yanhua under the bright sun that day again, with the light shining in her eyes, brilliant and charming.

The sharp blade came towards Su Yanhua fiercely.

There was a "clang" sound, but the pain she had imagined did not come. Su Yanhua opened her eyes in confusion, and the ropes on her body were still broken.

She looked at Mo Cerong in disbelief and opened her mouth and asked, "Why?"

Mo Cerong stood up suddenly, turned around and faced her with his back. Her expression could not be seen, but she could hear a heavy voice.

"Let's go!"

"If the Emperor finds out about you letting me go, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. He won't let you go!"

"Don't worry, the emperor is still my brother after all, nothing will happen to him!" Mo Cerong said.

Su Yanhua looked at him and saw him taking a long time to react. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a large number of Jinwu Guards rushed in and surrounded Su Yanhua and Mo Cerong.

Su Yanhua and the others were stunned by this situation. They saw Mo Cerong narrowing his eyes with a gloomy look on his face.

"Who allowed you in?"

"Of course I—"

Before he finished speaking, a woman in plain clothes walked in. Her thin body was wrapped up completely, including her face, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with infinite hatred.

"Prince Mo, if you want to let Su Yanhua go, it depends on whether I am willing or not!"

Anyone who knew them must be acquaintances. Mo Cerong stared intently and asked, "Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, the commoner woman didn't want to reveal her identity at all: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I won't let you let Su Yanhua go." Her tone suddenly became fierce: "Su Yanhua must die today!"

Such strong hatred made Su Yanhua frown. She took two steps forward and stood on the same level as Mo Cerong and said, "I know who you are even if you don't tell me."

"Wang Wanning—"

Wang Wanning raised her eyes, a hint of shock flashing in them: "How... did you know?"

Su Yanhua said, "I suspected you the day the military advisor sent by Yan State saw you. Now that I hear your voice, I am certain. Besides Su Ruoxi, you are the only one in Lingcheng who hates me so much."

When Su Ruoxi's name was mentioned, Mo Cerong's expression changed.

Wang Wanning sneered: "Shouldn't I hate you? If you hadn't investigated the matter of Shengxian Manor, the emperor wouldn't have ordered an investigation, our Wang family wouldn't have been exiled, my father and sister wouldn't have been insulted to death, and I wouldn't have ended up in this situation today!" She suddenly took off the veil on her face. On her soft face, an ugly scar was winding on her forehead like a centipede.

Her little face was covered with tear marks, and her expression was hideous and terrifying: "Now I have lost my innocence and my beauty. My life is nothing but this, but I will never forget that it was you, Su Yanhua, who caused all this!"

Listening to Wang Wanning's crying, Su Yanhua felt mixed emotions. The emperor had long wanted to get rid of the Wang family, and the incident at Shengxian Manor was just a fuse. Everything they had suffered was probably just the emperor's order. But she knew that no matter what she said now, Wang Wanning would not believe it.

"So, it was you who revealed the number of troops to Yan State?"

"Yes, it was me, but I didn't expect you to resolve it so easily." Wang Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing some composure: "Su Yanhua, the emperor wants you dead today, don't blame me!"

After he finished speaking, Wang Wanning raised his hand, and a large number of Jinwu Guards rushed towards Su Yanhua.

In a flash, Mo Cerong flashed forward like a ghost, firmly blocking the enemy. His eyes were sharp, and his attack was ruthless. With a flying kick, he directly kicked down an aggressive opponent. At the same time, he raised his clear voice and shouted, "Go!"

Su Yanhua glanced at him quickly with her beautiful eyes. Knowing full well that this was no time to show off her strength, she decisively twisted her body and prepared to turn and leave. However, just as she was about to take a step, she caught a glimpse of Wang Wanning, not far away, holding a longsword and lunging towards her with a ferocious look.

Su Yanhua was startled, but reacted extremely quickly. He instantly swung out a palm strike, and the wind whistled past, hitting Wang Wanning firmly. With a scream, Wang Wanning flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

Su Yanhua didn't dare to delay any longer and turned around again, only to find that a large number of Jinwu Guards had appeared in front of her without her knowing when. They had completely blocked her retreat.

Facing so many powerful opponents, Su Yanhua showed no fear. With a flick of her hand, she snatched up a nearby sword and charged at the charging Jinwu Guards without hesitation. In an instant, the flashes of swords and sabers clashed, and a thrilling battle ensued.

These Jinwu Guards were all top-tier masters, their coordination seamless, their moves incredibly powerful. Despite her martial prowess, Su Yanhua gradually began to feel the strain of facing so many on her own. However, she gritted her teeth and fought with all her might, until for a moment, the outcome was almost certain.

"careful-"

Su Yanhua heard a loud shout and turned around, and saw Mo Cerong rushing towards her. Time seemed to stand still. Su Yanhua could only see Mo Cerong's delicate eyebrows and facial features, and at this moment, his majestic appearance became pale and powerless.

The two men fell down. She stretched out her hand and saw that Mo Cerong's back was covered in blood. Endless anger surged into her heart and she looked towards Wang Wanning.

Wang Wanning didn't expect Mo Cerong to pounce on her, so she raised her sword again and went towards Su Yanhua.

But she had no choice. Su Yanhua was full of anger at the moment, and she was knocked away by Su Yanhua before she could make a move. She fell to the ground with a face full of pain. Before she could get up, Su Yanhua grabbed her neck with one hand.

Her breathing stagnated and she felt a strong sense of suffocation, which made her body and mind feel extremely terrified. However, she was not afraid at all. Instead, her face was full of hatred. She wanted to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones.

"Su Yanhua, why don't you just die? Why don't you just die?"

Faced with such rampant hatred, Su Yanhua showed no mercy. With a "click", Wang Wanning was no longer breathing, leaving only her pupils weakly open.

A red light source formed a barrier, surrounding Su Yanhua and Mo Cerong.

Su Yanhua supported Mo Cerong and said, "I'll take you away!"

Unexpectedly, Mo Cerong stopped her hand, his pale face very weak: "No, I must stay, Yan Hua, you go quickly!"

Su Yanhua shook her head. She couldn't abandon him at this time.

Mo Cerong saw the worry in Su Yanhua's eyes and smiled gently.

"This is the first time you've shown this expression to me." He raised his hand and wanted to touch the woman's face, but when he was so close, he stopped. His fingers rubbed silently for a few times and finally fell down.

"Can I ask you a question?"
