Everyone's gaze stayed on Shen Zhu and Xiao Mo for a while before dispersing.

Shen Zhu felt uneasy and asked softly: "When did I become a princess?"

She thought that this Xiao Mo would do anything to marry her.

She was a 'princess', and those few people claimed that they had no basis in their empty words. If the real princess were to find out, what would happen if she got jealous?

"You are a princess." Xiao Mo answered with a smile, and then moved closer to her, "Then who are you? Shen family's daughter? "

Shen Zhu glared at him, but his words stung her heart. She was indeed not the daughter of the Shen Family.

"I'll show you tomorrow. On this list, your name is Mu Qingzhu, the name that Empress Mu gave you all those years ago. Mu Qingling knows about this too, so you should ask her later."

Xiao Mo casually placed his arm on the chair behind Shen Zhu, looking as if he was holding onto Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu no longer argued with Xiao Mo, he only wanted to find a chance to escape. At worst, he would just take his child and leave, allowing Su Zongwen to get married in joy!

Seeing that she was so angry, Xiao Mo was in a good mood, and kept grabbing things into her bowl.

"Mistress." Gale suddenly bent over and whispered in his ear: "Su Zongwen's men have found the Li Clan's courtyard."

Xiao Mo's face changed, the gentleness in his eyes disappeared, leaving only killing intent, "Do not leave anyone alive."

"There are more than 10 people this time, are they …" This was, after all, the territory of the Liang Kingdom.

"You or them, choose one." Xiao Mo did not have any patience, he coldly threw out his words to Gale.

"Understood." Gale swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and left.

Xiao Mo picked up the wine cup on the table and exchanged a glance with Su Zongwen who was sitting diagonally across him.

Trash!

He gave Su Zongwen a silent evaluation in his heart, provocatively sneering at him, and finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Ming Chengjun, who was sitting on the main seat, had always maintained the attitude of a ruler of a nation. He was talking and laughing appropriately, and he was wondering in his heart, just who was this Shen Zhu?

In the past few years, the power of the Xiao Kingdom had not to be underestimated, especially this young emperor.

On the other hand, the Queen was elated. Shen Zhu suddenly appearing in the great hall with a man, this Su Family person was probably angered to death.

She lowered her head to cover her lips as she chuckled. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the pale face of the Noble Consort Su.

"Sister, is this dish not to your liking?"

The Queen pretended to be concerned and even picked up an appetizing hawthorn cake for Noble Consort Su.

"Thank you for your concern, big sister. Maybe it's because I've been working hard these days, I'm a bit tired."

She lowered her head and took a small bite of the hawthorn cake, her heart still thinking about Shen Zhu.

If Shen Zhu was a princess of the Qi Kingdom, then her wishful thinking would be in vain. She had long noticed that Shen Zhu was not in a good mood, and if she returned to the Qi Kingdom, the Emperor of the Qi Kingdom would definitely not be able to see her being wronged, hence the marriage with Zong Wen.

Moreover, this Shen Zhu and Xiao Mo were unclear, but they had obviously given Zong Wen a green hat.

Noble Consort Su was getting more and more unsatisfied with Shen Zhu.

During the break in the banquet, Shen Zhu made an excuse saying that it would be convenient for him to go out of the hall quickly.

"I've finally found my chance."

she whispered, looking around. There was no one else but the busy servants.

Shen Zhu prepared to directly leave the palace, escape from Xiao Mo first, and then return back to the Shen Family to ask his father if he knew about her background, and that piece of jade.

However, before she could even run a few steps, her collar was pulled back.

"Where to? I'll send you off. " Xiao Mo's voice sounded from behind him, giving him an additional creepy feeling.

When he saw her walking out of the hall, he felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, he was alert.

He grabbed her collar and a cold light flashed in the man's eyes. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. Was it that uncomfortable being together with him?

Xiao Mo pursed his lips, frowned and looked at the woman's head, his fingers touching her slender neck, as though he would only need to slightly twist it, and she would not need to go anywhere.

"No need, I'm not going anywhere."

Shen Zhu turned his head in embarrassment, as his soul continued to linger around him.

She couldn't see his expression clearly, but she knew that he must be a little angry.

"You haven't eaten anything, go back and eat your fill before leaving."

Xiao Mo pulled her wrist, the bloodthirsty impulse that surged in his heart had already disappeared, yet when he turned around, he was facing Su Zongwen who was rushing out of the hall in a hurry.

So it turned out that when Su Zongwen went out alone, he was thinking of coming out to have a good talk with her about the things that had happened in the past few days.

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

"The Master Su is in a good mood. Come out to admire the moon?" Xiao Mo laughed and asked, but when his eyes landed on Shen Zhu, it was as though he was looking after his own territory.

Dark clouds covered the moon tonight.

Su Zongwen knew that Xiao Mo said this just to ridicule him.

"Xiao Huang is also in a good mood, but this humble subject would like to speak a few words with madam in private."

Su Zongwen said as he looked at Shen Zhu, hoping that Shen Zhu would be able to speak. As long as she spoke, he would snatch her back regardless of whether she was the emperor or not.

"Madam? Is it a bit inappropriate for Master Su to speak to my wife alone? "

Xiao Mo asked coldly, pulling Shen Zhu closer to his side.

Caught off guard, Shen Zhu was pulled a few times, causing his legs to become unstable, and he directly crashed into Xiao Mo's body.

Xiao Mo took the opportunity to embrace her waist. Without caring about her struggles, his hands tightly gripped her waist.

"What are you doing!" Shen Zhu frowned, not wanting to let Su Zongwen see him in Xiao Mo's embrace.

"You …" Su Zongwen stepped forward and pulled Shen Zhu's arm, wanting to pull her back.

"What is Master Su doing? Don't forget your status! " Xiao Mo bellowed, and Gale who was standing in the shadows also walked out, "Master Su, our master is here, you should let go, don't hurt our relationship."

A flash of pain appeared in Su Zongwen's eyes, seeing that Shen Zhu did not say a word, and realised that it was not suitable for a fight to occur, he could only unwillingly let go of her hand.

Su Zongwen looked at the two's backs, and angrily punched a pillar on the side.

Why didn't Shen Zhu say anything? Why did she just let Xiao Mo take her away?

Ming Jiling, who had just left the house, saw all of this and hurried over to him, looking at his hands with a face full of worry.

"Cousin, is your hand okay?"

Ming Jiling saw that the pillar was stained with some blood and asked painfully.

Su Zongwen shook his head, leaned on the side and scratched his head in frustration.

Ming Jiling knew that the marriage alliance had already troubled him, and now that his sister-in-law was entangled with others, the torment in his heart became even more.

"Cousin, is sister-in-law really a Eldest Princess of Qi Kingdom?" Ming Jiling asked curiously.

"Eight out of ten." Su Zongwen sighed, and decided to ask Shen Clan about it after the banquet.

Ming Jiling frowned, not knowing how to comfort him.

"How about Xiao Mo?"

Not long after he returned to the capital, he did not know much about Xiao Mo.

"Xiao Mo is an unfathomable schemer. It was said that the late emperor of Xiao Kingdom did not plan to call him crown prince back then, and even his own mother supported his younger brother. But in less than a year, Xiao Mo had already exterminated someone else, establishing great prestige in the imperial court, and then he ascended to the position of crown prince. None of those princes who fought with him for the throne did not end up badly, especially his own younger brother. It's said that he was convicted of colluding with the enemy and beheaded, and he didn't even spare his younger brother's children. They were all killed. "

Although the battle for the throne had been cruel since ancient times, it was still rare to see someone as cold-blooded as Xiao Mo.

Cutting the grass and removing the roots, how ruthless!

"After Xiao Mo ascended to the throne, it was extremely brutal, and the rules are very strict. Many people said that Xiao Mo was born bloodthirsty and ambitious. "

Ming Jiling added.

Su Zongwen became more and more worried, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Shen Zhu to stay by his side?

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Ming Jiling saw that his face was looking worse, and asked worriedly.

"I'm worried …"

He paused. "Go back, Imperial Concubine Noble Consort will have to worry when she sees that you're not here."

Su Zongwen changed the subject and walked towards the palace.

Ming Jiling looked at his somewhat lonely back, and wanted to say something but hesitated …
