Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Mo Chen, holding Ye Li, addressed the crowd directly:

"My wife is not feeling well, so she will have to leave for a moment."

Then, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he left as if no one else was there.

Ye Li quickly pretended to be sick, touched her forehead with her soft, boneless hand, and then lay weakly in his arms.

Once out of sight of the crowd, she looked up and mouthed, "Isn't there a dragon boat race later? Won't that take up your time?"

"Hmm, it's fine. If you're bored, I'll keep you company a little longer."

Ye Li looked at him, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

He really doesn't remember.

I don't remember anything from that time.

His personality has also changed from being loud and boisterous to being calm and mature.

She went from being a chatterbox to doing things and talking less.

Although many small details are different, he still cares about me a lot.

We tried a different approach.

The initial disappointment and sadness have now subsided.

He is not the same person he used to be, but he is still himself.

It's like a child undergoing a major change, growing up overnight.

Ye Li nestled in his arms, a sense of dependence inexplicably growing in her heart.

Her relationship with Xiao Mochen involved playing together and guiding him as he grew.

However, when she was with Mo Chen after he was cured of the poison, she was cared for and looked after.

He felt protective of her.

This is what Ye Li has come to conclude over this period of time.

Just like when she felt uncomfortable at a banquet, he would find a way to get her out of there.

Even though there's a dragon boat race later, I still put myself first.

In this respect, he hasn't changed much from before.

Ye Li's thoughts drifted, and she remained lost in thought...

……

Mo Chen walked briskly through the inner courtyard of the palace, and after many twists and turns, he arrived at a royal horse farm.

Today's tea banquet coincides with the dragon boat race, so the entire banquet is not located in the center of the palace, but near the White Tiger Gate in the southeast, where there is a Wanghai Tower, opposite which is the canal where the race is taking place.

Tea banquets were held on and around Wanghailou, with guests sitting wherever they pleased.

Viewing tents were set up along the riverbank so that the emperor and his ministers could watch the competition up close.

The Royal Horse Ranch they were going to was not far from the Wanghai Tower and the canal.

Therefore, when Ye Li saw the four glittering golden characters "Royal Horse Ranch," she immediately felt that in ancient times, it might be true that people were inferior to horses.

The golden plaque shimmered with dazzling light.

Various palace maids and eunuchs moved about, directing the stable servants to attend to the horses, who were fed only the finest meats, not leftovers.

Although it's not race day, many people are still taking good care of these animals.

Listening to Mo Chen's introduction, Ye Li learned that the Royal Horse Ranch was a place exclusively for the royal family and nobles to use for hunting. It not only had fine horses and Akhal-Teke horses that were tributes from various countries, but also some small animals: birds, parrots and rabbits, which were used by the concubines in the palace to relieve their boredom.

Mo Chen put Ye Li down and reminded her, "Even though the small animals are kept in captivity, it's still best not to let your guard down."

As Ye Li walked, she passed the horse farm and suddenly saw many cages ahead, each containing some animals.

She was delighted to see so many cute little white rabbits in the cage.

Ye Li turned to Mo Chen with a smile and mouthed, "Thank you."

Mo Chen remained outwardly calm and nodded quietly, but inwardly he felt a sense of accomplishment.

The two of them were looking at small animals at the Royal Horse Ranch, and Ye Li even picked some grass to feed the little rabbits.

Time suddenly slowed down...

The warm sunlight shone on the two of them, and the golden embroidered auspicious cloud patterns on their clothes shimmered in the sunlight, making them look like immortals descending to earth...

Little did they know, this scene was being spied on...

……

……

"Oh dear, General, this won't do."

"To win a girl's heart, you should catch a rabbit!"

Li Siyi hid in the corner, watching secretly, complaining and feeling disappointed.

"What do you know? You're so shallow." The girl next to him scornfully retorted, instinctively nudging him with her elbow.

Li Siyi looked speechlessly at Li Furong, who had secretly followed him to peek, and said lazily, "Wait, what are you doing following me?"

He joked, "Aren't you going to compete for attention at banquets this year?"

Li Furong scoffed, "Competing to outshine others? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"I just thought she was really unwell, I didn't expect that she was just using an excuse to meet secretly at the palace."

A deep male voice then offered words of comfort:

“Furong, you can’t talk nonsense… The general and his wife are legally married, how can you say it’s a secret rendezvous?” Xiao Ziming followed behind them and reminded her when he saw her speaking inappropriately.

The three of them secretly peeked from the corner of the wall, bickering and making sarcastic remarks as they watched.

One moment she complained that the general wasn't taking the initiative, the next she complained that their relationship was progressing too slowly, they hadn't even held hands yet...

But none of the pear trees could hear it...

She could feel Mo Chen's gaze fixed on her!

So she was a little lost...

Just then, the drums that were preparing for the dragon boat race sounded. Mo Chen raised an eyebrow and said softly, "The race is about to start. Shall I take you back first?"

Ye Li also thought it was time to leave.

Unexpectedly, the rabbit bit her...

"hiss"……

Ye Li is in a bit of pain.

The next instant, Mo Chen put her finger in his mouth.

Ye Li wanted to complain a bit. The body she had transmigrated into seemed a bit weak, and she had actually gotten injured like this.

Mo Chen took out a handkerchief and bandaged her wound, then said gently:

"Avoid getting it wet recently. It's not serious, and you'll get better soon."

Ye Li thought to herself, "It's a small matter, there's no need to be so serious about it."

After this little incident, they began their return journey, but halfway there, they suddenly overheard two eunuchs whispering to each other:

"Are you serious?! That young master Fu Zeshan not only died a violent death, but his vengeful spirit also appeared in the fire to seek revenge?"

"It's really true. My brother went to the royal hunting grounds to serve some nobleman. He came back and told me that the hunting grounds were ablaze with fire, and there was a terrifying ghost inside that kept saying it wanted revenge... Ugh, just thinking about it gives me the creeps..."

"I have some news for you, but don't tell anyone else..."

"what news?"

"It was Young Master Fu Zeshan who came to the palace the day before he died."

"Ah, why did he come to the palace?"

“I don’t know either, but I saw him leave the palace at night.”

"Now that Fu Zeshan is dead, his fiancée Lu Wanning has been frequently summoned to the palace. What do you think...?"

"Shhhhhhh, work quickly..."

The remaining eunuchs remained silent, as if afraid that the more they knew, the shorter their lives would be, and quickly dispersed.

After hearing this, Ye Li silently glanced back at Mo Chen, who shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it.

Ye Li then followed Mo Chen back.

But I kept thinking about it...

The incident involving Fu Zeshan is now causing a great stir. Despite the Minister's repeated investigations, no clues have been found.

The evidence was completely destroyed...

unusual.

Use the detective cartoons you often watched as a child to deduce the truth, eliminate all the impossibilities, and what remains is the truth.

So--

It is indeed possible that the person who possesses immense power and the ability to do things discreetly is that individual.

If it was that person who did it, then now that he needs a scapegoat, wouldn't Mo Chen be the best person to take the fall?!

Thinking of this, Ye Li became secretly wary. No wonder that person agreed so quickly; he was clearly fearless.

Now that Fu Xiyang is seeking the truth, what if that person sends someone to spread rumors about him...?

I'm afraid Fu Xiyang will cause trouble for Mo Chen!

Once the thought arose, it lingered in my mind.

Ignoring everything else, Ye Li rushed forward before Mo Chen had gone far, grabbed his hand, and wrote:

Be careful of Fu Xiyang.
