"I am sorry. I will never leave you here if it"s not a crucial thing."How he could leave her here, in their enemy den where dangers always lurked in the every corners of this place.However, they had come this further and it was too late to send Qianru back to Azura.
Mo Qian Yuan would be suspicious and all the plans would be ruin, it wasn"t only ruining a plan, but it also would endanger their life.
Right now, Mo Qian Yuan didn"t show his fang and still easy to cooperate, he didn"t pose much questions about Xiao Jun departure because he thought Qianru would be left behind and should something happen and Xiao Jun made a strange move, his wife would be there as the leverage.
That was why Xiao Jun didn"t want anyone to know about Qianru"s pregnancy because the pressure would be higher than this.
However, he couldn"t keep it a secret for longer time as her belly would be gradually showing, he needed to think another way to keep Qianru save during her pregnancy.
He needed someone to a.s.sure her safety.
"When you will go?" Qianru asked meekly, she felt melancholic now. She understood the crucial part of finding these elders, but still felt the disappointment.
She understood, but her ego was still on the way from her understanding. Qianru thought to work on her feeling. She needed to control her emotion.
"Probably around two weeks from today, there is something that I need to confirm with Xiao Tianyao before I go to Zodasian Kingdom as well." Xiao Jun said, his initial journey was only in Rockstone Kingdom, but now since Xiao Tianyao had given him this news about the other Elder"s whereabouts, naturally he would go there as well.
With this sudden change, he needed to make another arrangement. It wouldn"t be easy to enter Zodasian if he didn"t have a good reason to go there.
Moreover, because of his prolong absent, he must ensure Qianru"s safety the moment people realized her pregnancy, he didn"t want her to be an easy target, hence he needed someone to look after her when he was away.
However, they were living in enemy"s territory, so where he could find someone whose he could trust?

Mo Xuan Fei walked straight to his the study room, the place where he almost lost his life a few days ago. And now here he was, standing in front of his imperial father"s door, waiting to be invited in.
He scoffed to his pathetic self right now, he totally turned to be his father"s dog and would allow him to order him as he pleased.
Mo Qian Yuan was holding Lin Xingyan to control him and now he got what he wanted.
A eunuch hastily walked approaching him with solemn expression, he then said. "The Emperor want to meet with you Prince Mo Xuan Fei."
Of course he would like to meet him, or else for what purposed he came along the way to his study room. He scoffed disdainfully, but didn"t voice out his grudge as he kept his calm and walked inside the room.
The room had been tidied up since that dreadful night and now it has come back to its initial elegancy. Though there were a lot of stuffs that had been replaced.
Mo Qian Yuan was sitting on his comfortable seat while perusing a book in his hand, he didn"t look like he was aware about Mo Xuan Fei"s presence, but how he wasn"t aware about him since he was the one who had called him earlier.
However, Mo Xuan Fei didn"t say a word of greeting to draw his attention as he just stood there, waiting for whatever nonsense his imperial father wanted to spit.
A long time had pa.s.sed and no one of them willing to yield. Only when Mo Qian Yuan"s book came to an end, he raised his head and looked at his son with frown.
"Don"t you know how to greet your father? I can send you to the dungeon to receive fifty canning for your insolent." Mo Qian Yuan a bit amazed with Mo Xuan Fei determination.
"Your majesty." Mo Xuan Fei slightly nodded his head and that was all, he did nothing afterward, not even looked at his father in his eyes.
Mo Qian Yuan scoffed contemptuously. "Your head is really getting hard nowdays."
Mo Xuan Fei didn"t reply on his words and kept his eyes on the floor beneath him, not because he was afraid of him, but he was afraid of his self control. There was a possibility he would take a flower vase beside him, broke it and shove the sharp fragment down to his throat.
It was good thing to imagine, but in reality there would be bunches of Imperial personal guards who would interfere and Mo Xian Fei wasn"t in good condition to initiate another battle.
"What do you want?" Mo Xuan Fei talked straight to the business. He didn"t want to waste his precious time with him, feeding a dog would be more worth it than being here.
Mo Qian Yuan leaned his back against the chair lazily as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "I want you to go with Prince Xiao Jun when he goes outside of this palace and report everything to me." He said concisely.
Since Mo Xuan Fei was not willing to stay longer, than he wouldn"t make him to do that.
"Where he will go?" Mo Xuan Fei asked casually, still standing a few meters away from Mo Qian Yuan"s table as if he got any closer it would be dirty himself.
"He will retrieve information about Azura"s army. Like you have aware, soon we, our Kingdom and Zodasian Kingdom, will have a war against Azura and I want only victory!" He said with burning greed on his eyes.
"Do you really believe Prince Xiao Jun is on our side and he really wants to help us?" Mo Xuan Fei didn"t understand, why a man like Xiao Jun would sacrifice his own country.
"I offer him Azura"s throne. He is always longing for it." Mo Qian Yuan said in matter of fact tone.
His words actually were true, but it still sounded wrong in Mo Xuan Fei"s ears, as someone like him who often used his feeling, he felt something wasn"t right, however he kept it for himself. Mo Qian Yuan wouldn"t listen to him anyway.
"For how long?" He didn"t want to leave the palace for long time, not because he liked to being here, but because Lin Xingyan was still locked up somewhere in this palace.
They took her away that night and since then he didn"t know her whereabouts, whether she was alive or death, it was still not clear.
"A month or two, that was the time that Prince Xiao Jun said to me, but it depends on him." Mo Qian Yuan shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly. "I will arrange you to meet him before both of you go out of this palace."
Except at the gates when Mo Xuan Fei was welcoming Xiao Jun, they have never had any interaction again, however, he talked to his wife a couple of time.
"Let me meet her first." Mo Xuan Fei said rigidly. His eyes left the floor that they had been staring at and looked at Mo Qian Yuan instead as the temptation to kill him rose again.
"Her? Who did you mean?" Mo Qian Yuan pretended to be stupid, but the seriousness and animosity in Mo Xuan Fei"s eyes made him no longer wanted to tease him. "Do you mean my concubine?" He made a ridicule smile on his lips.
Mo Xuan Fei didn"t answer, but his eyes had turned bloodshot. He wanted to be sure that she was alive or else there would be no any threat that could control him from running amok.
"She is still my dearest concubine if you forgot about it." Mo Qian Yuan walked around his table and picked another book to be read. "You will meet her after you comeback."
"I will meet her now or else I will not go anywhere." Mo Xuan Fei said determinedly. "Your choice."
Mo Qian Yuan clicked his tongue in annoy, though he had been cornered this son of his still dare enough to bear his fangs on him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
