Cold-faced Empress

Fu Siying rolled her eyes and just then saw the person who appeared from around the corner. It was none other than Mo Canglan, whom she hated so much that her teeth itched to grind!

Their gazes met in the air, and Mo Canglan raised one eyebrow very slightly. This reaction, in Fu Siying's eyes, ignited another nameless fire.

Looking at his stern face, it seemed as if he was smugly showing off to her.

Mo Canglan walked towards the Moon Gate. Hua Rao followed beside him, her face flushed with shy joy, a stark contrast to the mockery she displayed when speaking to Fu Siying.

As she approached Fu Siying, she heard Hua Rao ask with a pitiful tone, "Are you leaving already? Won't you stay a little longer? You haven't been here for so long, and... everyone misses you."

The sycophantic tone almost gave Fu Siying goosebumps.

She retorted sarcastically, "I haven't been here for a long time, why hasn't anyone missed me?"

Hua Rao suddenly looked up, glared angrily at Fu Siying, and said hatefully, "Miss Fu, the worst thing about people is being presumptuous and self-righteous!"

“Ha,” Fu Siying found it even more ridiculous, “You know you can’t be presumptuous? Who was asking that just now…”

She mimicked Hua Rao's charming and shy tone, staring at Mo Canglan who had already walked up to her: "Prince Mu, are you leaving already? I... I miss you so much, please stay a little longer."

In an instant, Hua Rao's face turned bright red: "You actually mocked me?!"

For some reason, the woman raised her hand and swung it at Fu Siying's face.

Instantly, Fu Siying's eyes widened, her expression one of astonishment.

"Snapped".

Hua Rao slapped him, but Mo Canglan caught her.

Hua Rao said aggrievedly, "Master..."

Mo Canglan forcefully shoved her arm away, his voice icy cold: "This is my queen consort. Who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on her?"

Instantly, Hua Rao's face turned pale, and she stared at Mo Canglan in disbelief: "How could she still be your princess? She's defiled, an impure woman, she's not worthy of you!"

These words made Mo Canglan's eyes grow even darker. In Fu Siying's eyes, Hua Rao was simply fearless.

She chuckled softly: "If an impure woman like me is not worthy of Prince Mu, then who is? You? Heh, so presumptuous and self-righteous?"

The taunts ignited Hua Rao's anger, and her charming face contorted with rage: "Fu Siying, you have no right to speak here!"

Before Fu Siying could even be surprised by Hua Rao's confidence, Mo Canglan suddenly looked at Hua Rao and uttered a single word with disgust: "Get lost."

Hua Rao's expression suddenly changed: "Your Highness..."

"Get out." Mo Canglan emphasized again, his tone becoming increasingly stern. The Changyi Army guards beside him even appeared ready to seize Hua Rao at any moment.

Realizing that Prince Mu was showing no mercy, the arrogant woman finally backed down and left with a face full of resentment amidst Fu Siying's soft, light laughter.

As he left, his gaze towards Fu Siying was filled with venom.

Fu Siying realized that Hua Rao was a complete and utter vixen. She had clearly misunderstood the real reason Hua Rao disliked her. The reason wasn't Hua Rao's ruthlessness, but rather her status as the Princess Consort of Mu!

After drinking Hua Rao away, Mo Canglan glanced at Fu Siying indifferently, then stepped out of the moon gate and headed towards the front building of Jinxiang Tower.

Fu Siying quickly chased after him, stopped him, and without saying a word, cursed, "Hypocrite!"

Mo Canglan stamped his feet and clasped his hands, unconvinced: "What makes you say that?"

"You're helping me on the surface, but secretly you'd love for me to be criticized and betrayed."

Mo Canglan did not deny it, but said, "You still owe me an explanation for what you did in Pingcheng. Have you prepared your explanation?"

Fu Siying pouted: "I... I just wanted to force the mastermind to slip up, what else do I need to explain?"

“Ha,” he scoffed, “you know perfectly well what needs to be explained.”

“I think you know perfectly well,” Fu Siying said in a low voice, unconvinced. “Then why are you asking me for an explanation?”

The fact that he was so shameless in destroying Fu Siying's reputation clearly shows that he knew Fu Siying intended to use the incident of losing her virginity to dissolve their engagement!
