Mo Xiangbin’s deep eyes fell on Shi Qingxue again, and he looked her up and down.

This time, he finally attached more importance to this young lady who was less than eighteen years old in front of him.

Earlier, even though he knew that Shi Qingxue was the woman Mo Junyang wanted to marry and he had agreed, he controlled himself all the time and didn’t speak it out because he didn’t think highly of her. He just thought that this girl was willful, naughty and lovely, but she was not enough to be the wife of King Rui’s heir.

In the past two years, Shi Qingxue was more reserved even though she had been showy before.

However, in this case, he thought that Shi Qingxue had become a canary kept in a cage because Mo Junyang protected her and that she looked beautiful but was good for nothing.

Till now, Mo Xiangbin surprisingly found that Shi Qingxue was never a canary. She was dazzling in the past because she was really capable, while she became reserved because she had grown up.

She knew that an outstanding person was liable to be attacked and that if she showed to be too calm sometimes, she would make people think that she was weak and could be bullied, so she made this show today.

She was so beautiful and eye-catching. Even though he had seen many kinds of means, he had to say that Shi Qingxue’s action was attractive.

She showed her shooting skills and embarrassed Feng Mei. Meanwhile, she made all people know that she couldn’t be bullied easily.

Mo Xiangbin was more satisfied while looking at Shi Qingxue and finally thought that she qualified to be his daughter-in-law.

The emperor thought joyfully and the expression on his face changed several times, which scared the others and made their hearts beat fast.

They were restless.

They didn’t know what Mo Xiangbin was thinking about.

Even though Shi Qingxue was superb in shooting indeed, she had embarrassed the emperor’s future daughter-in-law. Even for Mo Junhao’s sake, Mo Xiangbin should help Feng Mei wipe out the humiliation, right?

Feng Mei thought of this point and got more complacent. Then she secretly glanced at Shi Qingxue with provocation. “Huh. Don’t think that you can win if you report to His Majesty. Wait and see. The final winner must be me.”

Shi Qingxue didn’t care. She shrugged and ignored Feng Mei. Then she lowered her head and looked obedient and lovely.

She was diminutive. Compared with Feng Mei who was ferocious, Qingxue was like a pitiful young lady who had been bullied by an evil person.

Mo Junhao stayed next to Mo Xiangbin all the time as his good son, and he didn’t want to get involved in the girls’ fight, but seeing Feng Mei’s aggressive attitude, he frowned involuntarily.

He gently grabbed Feng Mei’s sleeve and gave her a glance with warning.

Seeing that her fiance defended Shi Qingxue, Feng Mei was irritated and her eyes became red. She didn’t calm down but even bared her teeth in front of Shi Qingxue and wanted to skin her seemingly.

At the moment, Mo Xiangbin stood up and smiled at Shi Qingxue, saying in a loud voice, “You can shoot at all the sharp arrows on the target, so the winner is naturally…”

Mo Xiangbin had a bright smile and was going to say what he wanted to.

Nevertheless, next second, he suddenly felt that everything before his eyes was dark. Before he lost his consciousness, he just heard the voices of the people around in panic.

“Your Majesty!”

“Father!”

Nobody knew how it happened, yet it did happen.

Mo Xiangbin fell into a coma with no sign in front of all people, which scared them out of wits.

Mo Junyang reacted first and carried Mo Xiangbin, rushing to the bedroom. At the same time, he arranged in an orderly way and told people to call the imperial doctors and Shen Luo.

Ling Ruiyin and Mo Junyu came back to earth and then followed them closely.

All people didn’t pay attention to the shooting competition with a clear result anymore but hurriedly followed them to the emperor’s residence.

The cheerful imperial garden quieted down in an instant.

Feng Mei was pushed by the crowd and had to follow them to check on the emperor, yet she walked slowly and chose paths where there were few people.

Soon, she walked to a place where nobody was around, and she didn’t hide the grudge on her face anymore, which almost twisted.

Her maid Zhichun next to her saw that and reminded her cautiously, “My Lady, now all people show concern about His Majesty. How about we…”

Before she finished her words, Zhichun kept silent and didn’t dare to speak under Feng Mei’s glare.

Feng Mei responded crossly, “Why should I go to visit him? Haven’t you seen that he planned to make me lose face? Huh. I think that he deserves it.”

Although Mo Xiangbin didn’t finish his words, what he had said almost showed his attitude.

This old man was partial to Shi Qingxue obviously. If there were no such an incident, Feng Mei would be disgraced in public.

Feng Mei even felt lucky as Mo Xiangbin suddenly fell sick. God helped her.

Hearing Feng Mei’s words, Zhichun was scared out of wits and hurriedly reached out her hand to cover Feng Mei’s mouth, screaming in a low voice in panic, “My Lady, are you crazy? You can’t say such words.”

Feng Mei pushed Zhichun away with displeasure and rolled her eyes. “There is no outsider here. Can’t I say something randomly? Moreover, even if somebody hears me, who dares to gossip?”

“You are really capable and even dare to comment on my father?” Mo Junhao’s cold voice appeared behind them, which frightened them a lot.

Feng Mei turned to Mo Junhao with fear and stuttered, greeting, “Junhao, what…what are you doing here?”

Mo Junhao snorted. “If I were not here, I wouldn’t know that my future wife who has been appointed by my father complains about the royal family so much.”

“No, I don’t!” Feng Mei argued in a great flurry.

She had a grudge against Mo Xiangbin but didn’t want Mo Junhao to be critical of her, so she hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and grabbed Mo Junhao’s sleeve.

She shook it gently and still looked sad. “Junhao, I was too angry just now. I am His Majesty’s future daughter-in-law, yet how can he be partial to Shi Qingxue? He would even make me lose face in public. I was mad so I just made a few complaints. I didn’t mean it. Junhao, please believe me.”

Mo Junhao pulled back his sleeve indifferently. “I have reminded you for several times not to offend Shi Qingxue, but you provoked her repeatedly. You are inferior to her in shooting skills, and you have lost, yet why did you blame Father? Should he say something against his conscience for your dignity? Then where would his dignity as an emperor be put?”

He said a lot and made it clear that Feng Mei brought trouble to herself.

However, it was not what made Feng Mei sad most. What irritated her most was Mo Junhao’s tone.

His tone was disdainful, as if Feng Mei were good for nothing.

Feng Mei thought that she was smart, so she was conceited, and she had never been taunted in this way since childhood. Moreover, the man she loved most helped another woman scoff at her.

Feng Mei exploded at once and forgot that she was always gentle and lovely in front of Mo Junhao, shouting in a rage, “I think that you still miss Shi Qingxue, that bi*ch. It is fine that His Majesty is partial to her, but you are going to marry me. Why do you still miss that bi*ch? She doesn’t love you. You…”

“Shut up!”

“Clap!”

A slap and Mo Junhao’s angry reproach appeared at the same time, and then it fell into silence.

Feng Mei covered her right face and looked at Mo Junhao in disbelief. He looked ghastly pale and also stared at his left hand, seeming to be furious, yet he didn’t understand why he beat Feng Mei.

After a long while, Feng Mei asked in a trembling voice, “You beat me?”

Her voice was fragmented and sorrowful.

Mo Junhao softened at once and grabbed Feng Mei’s hand, explaining in panic, “No, Mei, I didn’t mean it. Don’t take it to heart…”

As he comforted her, she got more emotional.

It didn’t smooth down Feng Mei’s anger, but she had tears in her eyes and cried to denounce him. “You beat me! Nobody dares to beat me since my childhood, yet you dare to beat me because of that bi*ch…”

Hearing the word “bi*ch”, Mo Junhao felt that the blue veins on his forehead were trembling.

However, even though he didn’t feel happy after hearing Feng Mei’s words, he knew her current status and had to comfort her. “I didn’t. I just got angry as you said whatever you wanted…

“Mei, think about it. You are going to be my wife. In the future, most of the time, your every word and action can even represent me. If you say anything recklessly, what will others think about you and me? Even though you don’t care about what others think about you, don’t you care about your fiance?”

Mo Junhao said in a gentle voice and combined hard tactics with soft. He even threatened and lured Feng Mei with the title of the fourth prince’s wife which she thought about every day and night.

Feng Mei was inexperienced, so she was comforted immediately. She didn’t blame Mo Junhao who had beaten her but apologized in a hurry for her speaking recklessly. She promised that she would pay attention to her statements and actions all the time in the further and wouldn’t make her fiance lose face.

Mo Junhao kissed Feng Mei’s head gently at once and expressed with affection, “I know that you are the only person who cares about me most.”

What he said made Feng Mei highly delighted and dizzy.

Afterward, Mo Junhao said a few words and then easily lured Feng Mei who was happy and brainless back to her mansion.

Shi Qingxue had watched these people’s affected manners and felt bored.

If they didn’t block her only way, she wouldn’t waste time overhearing them.

Shi Qingxue had to wait till all people left, so then she could walk out under the big tree and run away.

After Mo Junhao persuaded Feng Mei to leave, he still stood in the middle of the road, with his head lowered, lost in thought. Nobody knew what he was thinking about. Anyway, it appeared that he wasn’t going to leave.

Shi Qingxue got impatient while waiting, but she heard Mo Junhao’s deep voice suddenly. “Why not come out?”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

She looked around by instinct and wondered which warrior would hide under a big tree and overhear like her.

She didn’t see anybody. Then she peeped that Mo Junhao suddenly turned to the big tree where she was hidden. “I know you are hiding there. Come out now.”

Qingxue was frightened and shrank by instinct to hide behind the tree, yet then she was surprised at why she did that.

She didn’t overhear intentionally. Why didn’t they find a good place to hide and talk about secrets but chose such a path for people to walk and forced her to stay here, unable to leave?

Shi Qingxue had confidence instantly and walked out under the tree, going to Mo Junhao. Then she asked casually, “Your Highness, what can I do for you?”

Mo Junhao was shocked to see Shi Qingxue. He knew that somebody was overhearing behind the tree, and he was prepared to kill that person who might produce evidence against him, yet he had never expected that this person would be Shi Qingxue. He blurted out in surprise, “Why is it you?”

Shi Qingxue was confused after hearing this question and thought, “Why can’t it be me?”

However, she always didn’t want to say more to Mo Junhao, so she expressed directly, “Your Highness, if you have nothing to say, I will go to visit His Majesty in his residence first.”

When she took only one step, her wrist was grabbed by Mo Junhao, and she was pulled back.

Qingxue was alert and resisted with her hand, so she wouldn’t rush into Mo Junhao’s arms.

“Do you want to go after hearing my secrets? How can it be so easy? Hmm?”
