Shi Qingxue was pressed by Mo Junyang and couldn’t get up, so she changed her posture and lay on her back.

She blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Mo Junyang, asking seriously, “Are you sure that you will help the crown prince get that position?”

In the previous life, that position belonged to Mo Junyang in the end.

Shi Qingxue believed that as long as Mo Junyang wanted, that position would be his.

However, till now, Mo Junyang didn’t show that he longed for that position. Of course, they had never talked about this matter.

Qingxue guessed Mo Junyang’s intention indistinctly, but she was not sure.

In the past, Shi Qingxue had thought that as long as the Shi family remained neutral, they would be prosperous no matter which prince took the throne in the end.

However, it was different now. She was the future wife of King Rui’s heir, so she would naturally follow her husband.

It was said that Mo Junyang was the most loyal follower of the crown prince. Since he saved Mo Junyu, their fate intertwined.

Even Mo Junyu thought so.

However, Shi Qingxue knew that Mo Junyang could have another choice.

But did he want or not?

Shi Qingxue spoke out what confused her and then cautiously observed Mo Junyang’s expression, trying to find out his emotions from it.

Mo Junyang met her eyes calmly without dodging.

Then he laughed and held her face, saying, “I…just want you to be alive.”

Shi Qingxue stiffened.

She noticed the seriousness and resolution under Mo Junyang’s smiling face.

Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang blankly and couldn’t come back to earth.

Mo Junyang caressed Qingxue’s cheeks and didn’t hide the love and persistence in his eyes anymore. “Whatever, as long as you are safe and sound.”

He was persistent in changing in this life and just wanted to save Shi Qingxue’s life. Anything else was unimportant.

It was not their first time to talk about this subject. In the past, Shi Qingxue had told Mo Junyang that her death in the previous life had nothing to do with him.

She thought that Mo Junyang had come round and got relieved, yet he still took her death to heart unexpectedly.

He even cared about it so much.

Shi Qingxue pursed her lips. After a long time, she raised her hands and caressed Mo Junyang’s cheeks, keeping looking up at him face to face.

She also stated in a serious tone, “I won’t die. We will live a good life.”

“So don’t worry or feel guilty anymore,” she thought.

They kept the same posture and held each other’s face for quite a while. Then Mo Junyang lowered his head and kissed her soft red lips gently.

Shi Qingxue quietly accepted this kiss and raised her arms to hug Mo Junyang’s neck. When he raised his head, she sat up in his arms, and they embraced each other.

She rested her head on Mo Junyang’s shoulder and under his chin, still hugging him with one arm.

Their closeness made Shi Qingxue’s heart soft, and she wanted to lean against Mo Junyang forever.

Nevertheless, it was only her thought.

After a while, Shi Qingxue sat up straight on Mo Junyang’s knees, continuing with that question.

“Well. Anyway, I will be fine.” Shi Qingxue stressed this point again.

She didn’t hope that Mo Junyang took it to heart, but she knew that he couldn’t forget it so easily.

So she had to put this matter aside temporarily and return to the subject of that position.

Mo Junyang obviously felt Shi Qingxue’s intention and didn’t talk about this subject anymore. He answered the previous question. “If there is nothing else, the throne must be the crown prince’s.”

“Has it been decided?”

Shi Qingxue murmured yet finally heaved a sigh of relief in secret.

She didn’t care about the throne, but it couldn’t be Mo Junhao’s.

Mo Junyang nodded and raised his hand to rub Shi Qingxue’s hair, saying softly, “Don’t worry.”

He didn’t make it clear, while she knew what he told her not to worry about.

Mo Junyang wouldn’t let Mo Junhao have a chance to get that position.

“Okay.” Shi Qingxue gave Mo Junyang a sweet smile involuntarily.

She pondered for a moment and then continued, “I know what to do in the future.”

“Hmm?”

“I will give a hand.” Shi Qingxue grabbed Mo Junyang’s hand and assured him seriously.

Mo Junyang finally understood that Shi Qingxue meant she would help Mo Junyu fight for the title of heir to the throne, too.

He couldn’t help but frown. “You don’t need to…”

Shi Qingxue raised her hand and covered Mo Junyang’s lips, smiling brightly. “Why not? I will be the wife of King Rui’s heir in the future.”

Happiness could hardly be hidden in her complacent tone.

Mo Junyang was stunned, and his cold and stern eyes and brows softened, as her happiness affected him.

However, he was used to keeping silent. Even though he had a lot of feelings, he looked emotionless.

He just responded in a low voice, “Hmm.”

Shi Qingxue knew that this man was restrained, so she didn’t mind but continued, “Moreover, don’t forget that Mo Junhao is my mortal enemy.”

He was her mortal enemy till death.

Although Shi Qingxue didn’t show her hostility emotionally, it didn’t mean that she didn’t hate Mo Junhao.

She just kept the hatred in her heart and would get back at him once and for all when it was the right time.

Mo Junyang’s eyes became soft. “What do you want?”

As long as Shi Qingxue told him, he could finish it for her no matter what result she wanted.

Shi Qingxue sighed helplessly.

She didn’t know why Mo Junyang would do everything for her in the end when they talked.

Did she look unreliable?

“I…” Shi Qingxue prolonged her sweet voice and wondered how to convince Mo Junyang.

Both of them knew that Shi Qingxue could handle this matter by herself but Mo Junyang would be worried if she dealt with it.

So…

Shi Qingxue sighed again and stopped trying to find proper words.

She raised her hand and caressed Mo Junyang’s face. Then she pouted and said, “I Don’t care. Anyway, I have to take revenge on my own.”

Mo Junyang stared at Shi Qingxue with his deep eyes, and it seemed that he wanted to say more, yet he was defeated by her persistence in the end.

“Okay.”

Shi Qingxue narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.

She rested her head on Mo Junyang’s shoulder again and continued to talk about something else in a casual tone.

Her clear voice was like a lark’s, which made Mo Junyang’s tense face relax gradually.

They talked intimately till a servant rushed in and ruined the romantic atmosphere.

“Your Excellency, My Lady…”

As soon as the servant greeted, the two glared at him, while he was so scared that he shrank his neck and didn’t dare to speak.

Shi Qingxue hurriedly parted with Mo Junyang and turned around to check her makeup and straighten her clothes.

However, she suddenly stiffened when she touched her long hair.

Er…

Why was this scene so familiar?

They seemed to have an amour.

She couldn’t help but think of what she had seen on Moon Mountain this morning…

Pah, it was not the same. She and Mo Junyang’s most intimate action was only kissing, and nothing had happened between them.

Although she thought so, she still felt too ashamed to look back at the servant and just moved aside silently.

Mo Junyang put on a long face and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

The servant swallowed and answered hesitantly, “Somebody came from the imperial palace and said that she wanted to see Lady Qingxue.”

“See me? Who came?” Shi Qingxue turned around and looked at the servant in doubt.

She thought, “Did somebody find that I came back sneakily?”

“I don’t know her. The maid is dressed in the maid-in-waiting’s uniform and didn’t say who sent her. She just said that Her Highness invited you to enter the imperial palace, My Lady.”

The servant stuttered and finally finished his words, with much cold sweat on his forehead.

Shi Qingxue frowned and pondered for a moment. Then she looked up at Mo Junyang, who also looked doubtful.

She had to say, “Bring her in.”

After a while, a young girl dressed like a maid-in-waiting walked in and bowed to the two masters. “My Lady, Your Excellency, nice to see you. I am Xia Liang.”

“Xia Liang?” Shi Qingxue looked at her carefully and found that it was the second young lady Shi Baojing’s maid, Xia Liang. She moved to the second prince’s mansion with Shi Baojing after the wedding.

It was not surprising that Shi Baojing sent Xia Liang here when there was something.

However, after Shi Baojing married the second prince, this prince had left the imperial palace and lived in his mansion, so she lived with him outside the imperial palace. Why was Xia Liang dressed in the maid-in-waiting’s uniform?

Xia Liang seemed to have found the confusion in Shi Qingxue’s eyes and explained before being asked, “My Lady, the second prince’s wife is pregnant, and Concubine Tao granted special favor to her and took her into the imperial palace to build up health.”

Shi Qingxue looked happy after hearing that. “Baojing is pregnant?”

It was almost the best news after such a long period.

Qingxue was quite glad and walked forward, asking Xia Liang, “When did she get pregnant? Where is she now? Is she accustomed to the residence?”

She asked three questions successively, which showed her surprise, pleasure and anxiety.

Xia Liang secretly observed Shi Qingxue’s expression all the time. Seeing that, she had to admit that the sixth young lady really cared about the second prince’s wife.

So she spoke out the prepared words. “The princess suddenly went into a coma the other day, and after examining her, the imperial doctor said that she got pregnant, but because she was weak, Concubine Tao took her to the Taole Palace out of kindness. Now the princess is fine.”

“Great, great…”Shi Qingxue sighed with relief.

Then she asked, “You came to see me today. Is there anything wrong?”

Xia Liang replied, “The princess is healthy, yet as she is trapped in the imperial palace all day long, she feels bored and hopes that you can find time to enter the imperial palace and accompany her.”

Shi Qingxue pondered for a moment and then asked, “Did she send people to inform Duke Shi’s mansion that she is pregnant?”

Xia Liang hesitated for a while and then shook her head. “No. Because the princess’s fetus was not stable a few days ago, Concubine Tao didn’t allow anybody to reveal this news. Then we kept it a secret all the time.

“Now the princess gets better, so she sent me to tell you first.”

What she said was strange.

Shi Baojing was pregnant, while she didn’t tell her parents’ family or Duke Shi’s mansion first but sent somebody to see Shi Qingxue in the Lanxun Villa.

Shi Qingxue didn’t know what Shi Baojing thought about?

What was her intention?
