Cold-faced Empress

Mo Canglan endured her punches and kicks, wrapped his arms tightly around her, and pressed her down on the bed.

"Calm down!"

Fu Siying pinched his face with both hands, gritting her teeth as she pulled it apart: "I'm very calm!"

Seeing his thin cheeks stretched into round buns by her, she suddenly couldn't help but chuckle.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. Her smile gradually turned cold as she laughed, tears streaming down her face as she sneered, "How much more calm do you want me to be? Mo Canglan, I don't need your hypocritical act of saving me. Let me go, let me be reincarnated, let me be an innocent person again."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Mo Canglan decisively used the long ribbon she had brought to hang herself to tie her hands and feet to the bed frame.

Once he was sure she wouldn't struggle or lose control, he reached out and covered her eyes, which were brimming with pain.

“Fu Siying, trust me, leave everything to me,” his voice was so calm and composed, yet full of convincing power. “You don’t need to be afraid, and you don’t need to care about other people’s reactions.”

Fu Siying opened her eyes wide, and in the blink of an eye, her eyelashes touched the warmth of his palm.

What...is he saying?

"Mo Canglan, are you crazy?" she whispered in surprise, unable to help but remind him, "My innocence has been ruined, and I am no longer worthy of you. Our engagement is dissolved, and you don't need to care about me anymore."

Mo Canglan remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard her words: "Go to sleep. When you wake up from your nightmare, everything will be as usual."

Fu Siying closed her eyes in shock, silently groaning. This wasn't what she expected! Why would he treat her like this!

After a long while, feeling that Fu Siying's breathing had become steady, Mo Canglan withdrew his hand from her eyes and gazed at her face with her eyes closed.

He knew she wasn't asleep; she just closed her eyes because she didn't want to face him.

He will let her know that he is not lying to her.

After leaving, Mo Canglan instructed Prime Minister Fu and Madam Li, "Wait until she wakes up, then take her to the government office."

"Yes."

Prime Minister Fu followed Prince Mu away. Before leaving, he exchanged a complicated glance with Lady Li.

After seeing Prince Mu off, Madam Li quickly went into the room to check on Fu Siying. When she saw that Fu Siying's limbs were bound, she was dumbfounded: "You... were you tied up by Prince Mu?"

Fu Siying slowly opened her eyes helplessly: "It's obvious. Mother, please let go of me."

Li quickly untied her.

Rubbing her wrists and ankles where Mo Canglan had grabbed and pinched her, Fu Siying asked, puzzled, "What... exactly does he mean by this?"

Li asked curiously, "What did Prince Mu say to you?"

"He told me to entrust everything to him and let me take a nap, saying that when I woke up from the nightmare, I would find that everything was normal."

Li remained silent.

After a long pause, Madam Li said, "You want to use this to dissolve the engagement? In my opinion, that's unlikely."

Fu Siying: "..."

Why is Mo Canglan doing this?!

Due to Prince Mu's orders, Prime Minister Fu and his family quickly moved from the Bai family mansion to the government office for temporary accommodation. Before leaving, Bai Qingyu found an opportunity to speak with Fu Siying alone.

"What did Prince Mu say?"

Fu Siying looked dejected and listless: "He said everything would be as usual."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingyu's expression immediately turned serious. He stared at her for a long time before suddenly saying, "It seems your plans will be in vain."

Clearly, he was referring to her idea of ​​taking the opportunity to persuade Prince Mu to break off the engagement.

Through the veiled beaded curtain, Fu Siying looked intently at Bai Qingyu. After a moment of silence, she said, "It seems so."

After the words fell, there was no more conversation between the two.

Not far away, Yunzhi called out, "Sister, come quickly, it's time to go!"

Fu Siying nodded slightly to Bai Qingyu and brushed past him.

Bai Qingyu turned and watched her departing figure. Just as she boarded the carriage, he suddenly called out, "There will be other opportunities!"

Fu Siying was taken aback and turned to look at him. He stood tall and slender like a bamboo, under the eaves of the doorway, which resembled an ink painting, with a solemn expression.

She frowned, left him with four words, and without waiting for his reaction, quickly ducked into the car.

"Nothing to do with you."

……

Fu Siying moved into the government office with her family, but she was the only one who was arranged to stay in Mo Canglan's courtyard, with her room right next to his.
