Lin Xingyan came to Rockstone Kingdom for seeking marriage alliance and Mo Xuan Fei had his heart captured by her beauty and insight since the first time he laid his eyes on her.It was fortunate enough when Lin Xingyan reciprocated his affection, however in reality, the eldest princess from Zodasian Kingdom"s wisdom wasn"t only captured Mo Xuan Fei"s attention but also the Emperor.
When Mo Xuan Fei stepped forward to ask for their union, his father married her off with himself without any regards toward his son"s plea.
His father offered enormous amount of fortune deal to court her and made Zodasian"s Emperor agreed with their marriage.
It had never occurred to Mo Xuan Fei to defy his father or did anything reckless behind his back, he only wanted live in peace and away from the political scheme.
However since the day Lin Xingyan turned to be The Emperor most favored concubine, he had a second thought as hatred consumed him, burnt him like a never- ending flame.
Only if he held power he could get what he wanted protect those that dearest to him.
Only if he held power no one would slight him anymore.
"The situation isn"t stable since the attack on the border. All the higher up kept mentioning this issue and it becomes more tense with the existence of the delegation from Zodasian. They wanted to prison my sister. Did you get news about what was happening?" Lin Xingyan filled him in anxiously.
As per now, Zodasian Emperor only denied everything that had happened in the border, but didn"t explain any further.
A prominent figure from Zodasian should be on their way to explain it, but after weeks of attack, no one came.
If the situation escalated and became worse, should Rockstone Kingdom got any news about the involvement of Zodasian on that attack, it would incurred Mo Qian Yuan"s wrath and all Zodasian people in the kingdom of Rockstone wouldn"t leave unscathed, including her.
"How is the Emperor treats you?"
No matter how Mo Xuan Fei hated the idea Lin Xingyan was with his father, in this kind of situation, if she lost the Emperor"s affection, it wouldn"t end good for her. He knew his father very well in this matter.
"He had not visited me for a week now…" Lin Xingyan replied bitterly.
Mo Xuan Fei wanted to laugh to himself. How complicated this could be… he should be overjoyed by the fact his father didn"t visit her again, abandoned her like how he abandoned his mother, but the situation didn"t allow it.
Lin Xingyan would loss her head if the evidence came and it revealed that Zodasian Kingdome had instigated the attack.
For now, they still a.s.sumed it was Crescent Dew Clan"s wrongdoing. But their intelligence found nothing that could relate that vicious clan to the attack on the border.
"If the situation is getting worse, I will bring you out from here." Mo Xuan Fei promised her, he hugged the woman tightly and kissed her hair. "I can"t stay for long…"
"Alright…" Lin Xingyan nodded weakly. If anything, she wanted to be away from all of this right now. "There is any news from Mo Jingchen? He should comeback by now."
"No." Mo Xuan Fei released his tight hug and sat her on the wooden bench. "Still there is no news from him or further explanation from Zodasian Emperor."
"It is weird…" Frown on her beautiful face deepened. "My father wouldn"t be so daring to initiate an attack…"
"Don"t worry, I will find out about this…" While saying this, the prince from Azura"s name crossed his mind as he remembered how Qianru had lied to him about Xiao Jun whereabouts.

In the dead of night, when all the light from most of the chambers had puffed out and the sound of chirping cricket was the only prominent noise, a man was looking at a sleeping woman on the bed.
His figure was basked in the moonlight that slipped from the opened window. He was still wearing his traveling cloak and a little bit worn out.
Out of the darkness, the third figure appeared as he walked closer vigilantly.
"Master…" He called out, but was stopped by him.
"Outside." He said curtly.
Liu Wei nodded and disappeared again.
Meanwhile Xiao Jun brushed his cold fingers against Qianru"s cheek, it felt so soft to his touch and after he tucked her inside the blanket, he walked away from the room leisurely.
"What is it?" Xiao Jun asked him in tired voice, he was lack of sleep for these past days.
"Tonight, mistress was inviting Prince Mo Xuan Fei for a tea."
"A tea?" Xiao Jun arched his eyebrows questioningly. "What were they discussing?"
"Due to the distance, our people aren"t very sure what were they discussing, but based on a few words that they could catch; Mistress was asking about the situation in the Frozen River, the border." Liu Wei answered truthfully.
Xiao Jun didn"t give any respond for some time, he was staring at the door, where Qianru was sleeping, with expression that devoid from any emotion.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Master, do you think Mistress knows?" Liu Wei couldn"t help, but curious about his Mistress intention.
Xiao Jun didn"t answer his subordinate"s question, but muttered something in dismay instead. "What an impulsive move…"
