A birthday wish? This was rare. The Empress stood up and belched. In her intoxicated state, her body swayed unsteadily, and Ouyang Haoxuan was quick to reach out and support her.
Valiantly, she waved out her hand. “Good, then We today will make a birthday wish.”
The crowd in front of her stood up and walked to the middle of the great hall in tandem, kneeling. Deferentially, they shouted,”Then we will try our best to fulfill the Empress"s wish!”
The Empress smirked. “Good, then Our birthday wish… is to have this dynasty prosper for countless years in the future.”
“The Empress is a wise and sagacious ruler. May she live forever and ever and ever!”
“The Empress is a wise and sagacious ruler. May she live forever and ever and ever!”
The Empress"s birthday feast ended beautifully. Mo Qingyu was quick to pull Xiaoyao Yunshang behind her and rushed to depart. As they pa.s.sed Mo Qingli"s table, Xiaoyao Yunshang glared angrily at Xiaoyao Yunyan.
Xiaoyao Yunyan smiled back. Afterwards, he leaned forward and whispered something into the ear of a nearby manservant. The manservant immediately stood up and left.
The extremely intoxicated Mo Qingli was supported by Mu Tianlang out the palace. Ge Yueming followed them leisurely with both arms behind his head. After pondering for a while, Xiaoyao Yunyan decided to follow them out as well.
Feng Chenling watched Mu Tianlang help Mo Qingli onto the carriage with a complicated expression. Even as the carriage disappeared into the far distance, he still looked at the horizon foolishly.
Mo Qinghan patted Feng Chenling"s elbow. “She doesn"t love you, so why are you still so attached to her?”
Since she doesn"t love you, then why are you still so attached?
Feng Chenling quietly exhaled. Then, he turned and looked at Mo Qinghan. “Then how about you? Since I don"t love you, then why are you still so attached to me?”
“Because I believe that one day you will learn to love me,” Mo Qinghan said, looking at Feng Chenling as she straightforwardly expressed her love.
Feng Chenling also looked at Mo Qinghan, earnestly replying, “I am also like you. I believe that one day, she will also love me again.”
At Feng Chenling"s rejection, Mo Qinghan remained silent, not knowing how to reply.
Feng Chenling gave a dim smile. Then, he began walking towards the direction of the Sixth Princess"s residence.
“Chenling,” Mo Qinghan said, finally reacting. She grabbed Feng Chenling, her forehead filled with faint traces of fury. “She treated you like that, and yet you still want to return to her?”
Feng Chenling nodded. “Yes. Because… I love her.”
“But she doesn"t love you,” Mo Qinghan said. The man in front of her was really going to make her crazy. What exactly was he thinking in that head of his? Mo Qingli treated him like that, and yet he…
“The one she loves is that blue-robed man. Can you not see that?” Mo Qinghan said, grabbing Feng Chenling"s shoulder. She wanted to shake the man in front of her awake. It was obvious… it was obvious that she was the one who loved him the most!
No, he had noticed it. Of course he had noticed her affections for him.
But… a woman having three husbands and four concubines was something natural and just. As long… as long as her heart had some feelings for him, that was enough for him to feel satisfied.
“For you, I threw out all the men in my residence, just so I could demonstrate my love for you. Do you really not understand?” Mo Qinghan yelled.
Feng Chenling shook off Mo Qinghan"s hand. He retreated two steps, not meeting Mo Qinghan"s eyes. “I"m sorry. The one I love is her. From start to finish, the one in my heart will always be her.”
Mo Qinghan finally learned what it felt like for her heart to crack into pieces. It felt like someone had stabbed her chest a thousand times. She staggered back, her black pupils revealing a few strands of green light.
The air around her became colder and colder. However, throughout it all, the pain in her eyes remained constant.
Suddenly, the intoxicated Mo Qingqin noticed Mo Qinghan was nearby. Joyfully, she ran over, reaching out to grab Mo Qinghan"s shoulder excitedly.
Mo Qinghan coldly shouted, “Scram!”
Mo Qingqin suddenly sobered up, releasing her hand. However, before Mo Qingqin could fully react, Mo Qinghan"s two eyes closed and she fainted into Mo Qingqin"s embrace.
