Legitimate Daughter Never Be Concubine - C45

Seeing Su Jinyue accept the reward, the Queen smiled in satisfaction. When she looked at Su Jinyue, her gaze softened a lot. Off to the side, Mo Li’s expression couldn’t be considered pretty, but it couldn’t be called ugly either.

The empress looked tired and said, “I’m a bit tired. The crown prince rarely returns to the palace, so I’ll go to your sister’s place to take a look. Dawn seems to be much weaker than before.”

“Did the royal sister get sick again?” If it was said that Mo Li was indifferent to the empress’s words, then this sentence caused Mo Li’s expression to change.

“Go. I’m tired.” After the empress finished speaking, Aunt Ming Zhu supported the empress out of the hall.

Mo Li’s face turned extremely ugly. He looked at Su Jinyue and thought back to what the Queen just said. He gritted his teeth and stood on the spot.

“Your Highness, I’ll return the dagger to you.” Su Jinyue looked at Mo Li and handed the dagger to him. Hearing this, Mo Li looked at her in surprise. “You don’t want it?”

“Why do I want it? It wasn’t gold or silver. Merchants only need gold and silver, and do not need this dagger. ” Su Jinyue was calm. Mo Li took the dagger and said, “This dagger …” When uncle left that year, I stuck it in his chest with my own hands.

“Yes. But what does that have to do with me? ” The expression on Su Jinyue’s face did not change. There was no sadness nor joy in her eyes. Sometimes, one did not need to be judged by others.

Mo Li would definitely have his own reasons for hurting his family. Right or wrong, it had nothing to do with her.

His voice was low, as if he was immersed in his own memories. He slowly said, “Back then, Imperial Uncle rebelled, and Imperial Mother was implicated by it. If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid the person standing here right now wouldn’t have been me.”

Hearing this, the corner of Su Jinyue’s mouth twitched. For Royal Uncle to rebel, the one who would be implicated would instead be the Empress? No matter how you looked at it, there was definitely a adultery involved.

“And Empress Sis Xi’er is Royal Uncle’s daughter. The matter of royal uncle rebelling made royal father very angry, but Xi’er royal sister was not wrong, so she was raised in the Imperial Palace. It was just that in order to prevent her from harboring resentment against the imperial family, royal father had intended to keep her from knowing about the past.

Later on, unable to do so, royal father ordered royal sister Xi’er to never leave the palace for the rest of her life. As for the royal elder sister, due to her heart injury, her body was getting weaker and weaker. All these years, because of my guilt, I have to go and see her. ” After Mo Li finished speaking, he looked towards Su Jinyue.

Seeing that there was still no expression on her face, he finally understood that in her eyes, if it wasn’t something that was of interest to her, the feelings of others would have nothing to do with her.

Mo Li didn’t know what he was feeling at the moment. Was he happy? Disappointment?

“Your Highness wishes to bring me to see your royal sister?” Su Jinyue looked at Mo Li and finally understood what he wanted to say.

Hearing that, Mo Li shook his head. “On the contrary, if there’s a choice, I hope you won’t see her. “Senior sister Xi Er, she …” Before Mo Li could finish, he fell silent.

He pulled Su Jinyue’s hand and headed outside of Phoenix Luan Palace.

In this palace, besides himself, there was no one else who was his friend, nor was there anyone who was his relative. From the very beginning, when he had chosen to kill his Imperial Uncle and protect his mother, this laughable fact had already been predestined.

Even the elder sister that he doted on the most, in her eyes, he was only a murderer.

No matter if it was his mother, or his royal sister, they all felt that if it wasn’t for him, the current emperor would only be his uncle. It was laughable that the Queen Mother, who had been a queen for so many years, did not even know how difficult it was to change dynasties in the imperial family.

Just how many trump cards did the royal family have? Even he, as the crown prince, wasn’t too clear of the situation.

As Mo Li thought this, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. He, who usually had few emotions, was in a state of turmoil instead.

Su Jinyue felt more and more pain from Mo Li holding her hand. In the end, she couldn’t help but ask, “Your Highness, do you want to break my hand?” Su Jinyue’s eyes turned cold. There was no trace of a smile in her eyes.

Hearing this, Mo Li realized that he had used too much strength. Therefore, he looked at her awkwardly and said: “I’m sorry, I lost my composure.”

“It’s really a rare encounter to see the Crown Prince lose his composure.” Su Jinyue said with a smile in her eyes. Hearing this, Mo Li slightly raised his brows, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

Mo Li followed the Empress’s instructions and brought Su Jinyue to Princess Xi’er’s residence. Her residence was not too far from the empress’s, but the guards were very tight.

It was as if he was worried that someone would harm her.

“I was ordered by my mother to bring the princess consort to see Empress Xi’er.” Mo Li looked at the guard at the door and spoke indifferently.

When the guards heard this, they immediately stepped aside. Then, Mo Li brought Su Jinyue into the small courtyard.

In the courtyard was a two-story building. The sound of a zither came from the small building. Grief, gentleness, and a little hatred.

It was as if he was unable to vent his feelings of melancholy.

When Su Jinyue heard the sound of the zither, she frowned. He felt displeased from the bottom of his heart. She loved the zither, and the sound of the zither was elegant, like mountains and rivers.

The zither music was truly refined, causing one’s temperament to be indifferent and elegant. The zither could improve one’s mental health, but Princess Xi’er’s zither music was filled with resentment, using the zither music to vent her hatred.

This kind of zither music couldn’t be called a mistake, but it made Su Jinyue unhappy.

Hearing the zither music, Mo Li stood in the middle of the courtyard and did not continue onward. After the zither music stopped, the windows of the building opened, revealing the woman’s pale face.

Her face was somewhat similar to Mo Li’s. Seeing that Su Jinyue had followed him, a ray of light flashed across his eyes and he said, “So it’s the Crown Prince and future Crown Princess. Come up, my body isn’t feeling well, I’m afraid I can’t come down to the house to welcome you.”

The woman’s voice was weak and only sounded like she was struggling to speak.

Su Jinyue glanced at Mo Li beside her. She saw that Mo Li’s eyes were filled with indifference, as if he was already used to Princess Xi Er’s attitude.

When they entered the small building, Princess Xi Er had already come down from the second floor to the first floor.

She sat in a chair, frail and moving like a sick child. She had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, very similar to the empress’s. However, she was lacking in spirit compared to the empress.

Looking at Su Jinyue, a trace of a faint smile appeared on his face, “She is really pretty. No wonder little brother likes her.”

“Princess, you flatter me.” Su Jinyue lowered her head.

“What kind of princess am I? “Just call me Xi Er.” As Princess Xi’er spoke, she looked at Mo Li with a complicated expression.

Mo Li looked at Princess Xi’er as well before asking worriedly, “I heard from Imperial Mother that Imperial Sis is sick again. Are you feeling better?”

“It’s just an old illness, you don’t have to worry about it. But you… If you can even take action against your relatives, with such a cold personality, how are you going to get married? ”

With that, Princess Xi’er looked at Su Jinyue with a worried expression, “My brother has always been a cold-hearted person. I hope that you can change him in the future and make him an ordinary person.”

Su Jinyue was speechless as she listened to the black man’s method, which was exactly the same as the empress’s. Are these two the real mother and daughter?
