At this moment, Li Rong was sitting in front of her dressing mirror with disheveled hair, preparing to go to bed. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of a figure at the window. She coldly warned the maidservants behind her, "All of you, leave!"

Waiting for the maid to leave, Li Rong coldly snorted and the figure under the window suddenly jumped in. Wan Qing stood respectfully in front of Li Rong and said:

Li Rong looked at herself in the mirror and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes. This little b.i.t.c.h was going to marry into Jing King Manor in two days! If she didn't think of a way to stop him, then her Li'er would have no chance in the future!

He looked back at Wan Qing and said, "What is she doing these days?"

"Mistress, she didn't do anything. She just took her subordinates and went shopping with Yue Er."

"Heh, she's actually interested!" Glancing at Wan Qing, Li Rong took out a box from the secret compartment and handed it to her. "You must bring it into the palace tonight and personally hand it to Mu Ziyan!"

Wan Qing looked at the delicate box and hurriedly took it. She replied, "Yes, Mistress!"

Very quickly, he left the General's Estate and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

During the night, Mo Long's eyebrows were knitted tightly together, beads of sweat could be seen all over her forehead. She held the blanket tightly with both of her hands, and fell into a nightmare. In the dream, someone was pinching her neck, causing her to be unable to breathe. She desperately wanted to open her eyes, but her entire body seemed to be tightly grabbed by someone, sinking into the depths of the black abyss.

It was unknown how many times he shouted, but Yue'er still hadn't appeared. On the other hand, Wan Qing hurriedly walked in and greeted him respectfully.

"Miss, your servant's stomach wasn't feeling well last night, so Yue'er was the one keeping watch. Just now, this servant switched with her to rest." As she said that, she noticed that Mo Xiang's expression was strange, and quickly went forward to support him, worriedly asking:

"Miss, what happened to you?" Reaching out her hand and touching Mo Li's forehead, she noticed that her forehead was burning. She hurriedly said to Mo Li:

"Don't get up, Miss. This servant will call the imperial physician right away."

"It's fine. Pour me a cup of water."

Mo Long drank two cups of water and his voice became much louder. Wan Qing turned to call the imperial physician, but someone from the palace blocked her path.

"Is Ninth Miss here?" An old nanny came over and asked.

Mo Long's eyebrows knitted together as she heard the noise. Her hoa.r.s.e voice rang out:

"Wan Qing, who is outside?"

"Let her in!"

The old wet nurse walked into the hall. When she saw the girl lying on the bed, she was startled for a moment before respectfully saying,

"Ninth Miss, this old servant is esteemed w.a.n.gfei's servant. I came here today on esteemed w.a.n.gfei's orders to ask you to follow me to the palace."

Wan Qing quickly cleaned Mo Xie's clothes, and after was.h.i.+ng up, Mo Long looked at the haggard figure in the mirror, picked up the rouge from the dressing table, and wiped some off to cover his pale face. After all, he was going to see her future mother-in-law. She wanted to leave a good impression on him.

Along the way, Wan Qing asked worriedly, "Mistress, why don't we find the imperial physician first before entering the palace?"

"No need, I think it's because of the cold last night and nothing serious."

It was the first time Mo Long had ever seen a real cold palace, and it was even colder than she had imagined. As he walked to the door, he could feel a chill coming over him. Mo Long looked at the entrance of the palace, and a s.h.i.+ver ran down his spine, probably because of the fever, and he paused for a moment before following the mama inside.

At this moment, Mu Ziyan was sitting alone in the yard, reading a book. Hearing the commotion outside, she knew that Mo Xiao had come.

Putting down the book in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at the incoming person. For a person who had never seen Mo Xie before, seeing Mo Li for the first time must have been a surprise! Mu Ziyan was no exception.

"You are?"

Mo Xiang gave a faint smile as he bent down to bow, but was stopped by Mu Ziyan, "No need to be so polite." With that, she glanced at the others and ordered:

Everyone left. When Wan Qing left, she sneaked a glance at Mu Ziyan and received her gaze. She nodded and left.

This made her think of that cold and proud man, Helian Yi! He sighed in his heart. Sure enough, a mother must have a son! He also instantly understood why Helian Yi had such a personality.

When he came back to his senses, Mo Li pursed his lips and smiled, "May I know for what reason did you call me here?" Helian Yi never mentioned his mother's concubine in front of her. The information she knew was basically all pa.s.sed down to her by Miss Mo Jiu after her death.

She only knew that Mu Ziyan had offended the empress and had been ignored. She didn't want to ask any more questions about the harem, so she decided to live in the Cold Palace by herself.

"According to what Yi'er said, in two days, it will be your wedding day."

"Mm …"

"Why did you marry Yi'er? Do you love him? "
