Drive away

"Of course, Jun Lintian has deep connections in the Haoyue Kingdom. Half of the people in the group are on his side, so I can't really move him. I'm just causing a little trouble for him. However, this incident will also bring up the matter of Li Chengxiang's killing of the Xiao family ten years ago."

"The Xiao family matter?"

He Yunting and Liu Shiyu exchanged quick glances, wondering how Momo was involved in this.

"Yes, ten years ago, the Xiao family was known for their pill refinement, particularly their precious Essence Cleansing Pill. However, the Xiao family had a rule passed down through generations that their pills were not to be sold to the palace. Li Chengxiang, in his pursuit of favor, tried several times to purchase pills from the Xiao family but was rejected. Frustrated and angered by the beautiful Mrs. Xiao's refusal and disobedience, Li Chengxiang killed her. To cover up his crime and avoid any trouble from Mr. Xiao, he resorted to violence. The Xiao family fought to protect Xiao Bing'er and she eventually fled to the border, where she was sold into a brothel. Two years ago, when she escaped, she was pursued by the brothel. I rescued her at that time, listened to her story, and made the necessary arrangements. This led to the events of today. Li Hu is not a good person and has committed many wrongdoings under the protection of Li Chengxiang."

Su Zimo explained the sequence of events, emphasizing that her intention was not solely for revenge but to help Xiao Bing'er.

"Momo, this isn't suppressing Jun Lintian, it's actually helping him! By undermining the prince's position, you're indirectly helping Jun Lintian. But if Jun Lintian discovers your involvement in this matter, do you think he'll let go of such a good opportunity?"

He Yunting quickly retorted, finding Su Zimo's approach perplexing.

"Yunting, do you think Jun Lintian will even have time to learn about that? The prince will only view this as the start of a competition between Jun Lintian and himself for the throne. As for how much support Li Cheng has in comparison to the prince, only they know. And... Su Zimo paused, withholding her further thoughts on the matter.

"And what? Momo, you always leave us hanging, don't you?"

He Yunting was growing frustrated with Su Zimo's cryptic remarks.

"Yunting, don't worry! The owner has everything under control. There won't be any problems, and you'll understand when the time comes."

Liu Shiyu found He Yunting's impatience amusing. He tended to become overly anxious at times.

"Hmm! You all conspired without including me. I'm feeling left out here," He Yunting grumbled unhappily.

Su Zimo ignored his complaint and continued, "Shiyu, tomorrow, come to Mingyue Xuan. I have something for you to deliver to Murong Gongzi of Xingyue Country. Let him see it and give me a prompt response."

"Alright!" Liu Shiyu nodded in agreement.

Jun Shaochen regained consciousness upon arriving at the Bright Moon Villa. During this time, Su Zinian had been taking care of him.

As Jun Shaochen opened his tired eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. Following the sound of porcelain cups, he spotted a beautiful woman in white cleaning up the teacups on the table.

"Are you awake, Gongzi?" Su Zinian, who had finished tidying up, turned around and saw Jun Shaochen awake.

"You saved me... Ben... Ben Gongzi?" Jun Shaochen corrected himself quickly, not wanting to expose his identity.

"Gongzi, please focus on your recovery. It doesn't matter who saved you."

Su Zinian smiled softly, resembling the purity and elegance of lilies in the summer.

Jun Shaochen was momentarily taken aback. He was accustomed to seeing various schemes, jealousy, and flattery in the palace, but this was the first time he had encountered such a graceful smile.

"Where is this place?"

"Bright Moon Villa," Su Zinian replied promptly.

"Bright Moon Villa?" Jun Shaochen had heard of the place before.

"Auntie."

Su Qi walked in.

"Huh! You woke up just as I said you would when we joined hands. This prince woke up right after we joined hands."

Su Qi placed her hands behind her back, proudly walking to the bed with a curious expression, gazing at Jun Shaochen.

"Qi'er, you truly have incredible power. You predicted my awakening," Su Zinian praised her little niece's abilities.

"This uncle, extend your hand, and Qi Er will examine your pulse."

"You?" Jun Shaochen looked at Su Qi in disbelief. The child in front of him, who appeared to be only four or five years old, claimed to be able to examine his pulse. Did he hear correctly?

"Gongzi, thanks to Qi'er's exceptional medical skills, you woke up so quickly."

Observing Jun Shaochen's doubt, Su Zi explained with certainty.

"Oh!" Jun Shaochen extended his hand, still somewhat skeptical.

At that moment, Su Zimo and Su Li, along with Su Xin, entered the room.

Jun Shaochen looked up and saw the two children examining his pulse. They were identical in appearance, a pair of twin boys, and there was a third woman dressed in purple exuding an aloof aura.

Su Zimo also gazed at Jun Shaochen. She couldn't help but acknowledge that all the members of the royal family were exceptionally handsome. Jun Shaochen, in particular, was far more pleasing to the eye than Jun Lintian. When he remained silent, he exuded a sense of humility, resembling a gentle and noble gentleman made of jade.

"Now that Gongzi is awake, it's time for you to leave."

Su Zimo wasted no time and directly requested his departure. Even though she knew he was the prince, she did not treat him any differently and handled the situation efficiently.

"Is the villa owner dismissing the prince so soon? Isn't Mingyue Villa renowned for its hospitality? It wouldn't hurt to have a meal!" Jun Shaochen was slightly stunned. As a prince, he had never been treated with such disregard. How did someone like her make the Bright Moon Villa so famous?
