Feeling the hostility emanating from Mo Jiecheng's whole body, Gu Mingyue's eyelids twitched, and she felt panicked for no reason.
"You just said that many families in the capital are unwilling to let their daughters associate with Ji Wanrong?"
Gu Mingyue swallowed hard and nodded: "Yes... yes, Your Majesty, this is not what I said, it was said by people outside!"
"People outside also say that the princess has lost the favor of the king. The king... did not choose her, but chose... someone else?"
When Mo Jiecheng spoke, it was still a little difficult.
Gu Mingyue didn't even dare to say anything this time, she just nodded silently.
Mo Jiecheng snorted coldly and pulled out a sarcastic smile.
"I am very proud to see you. I asked you to keep an eye on her because I cannot bear her to leave. I am not asking you to embarrass her!"
"But this king looked at you as if you were holding a chicken feather as a command arrow. Not only did he fail to keep an eye on her and told her to run around, he also went out of his way to make things difficult for her! Gu Mingyue, please leave."
"Ah! Ah? My lord, what do you mean?" Gu Mingyue heard this unexpectedly and couldn't believe her ears.
She raised her head suddenly and looked at Mo Jiecheng, her eyes quickly turning red: "Your Highness, Wei Chen really likes you, that's why he stays in this mansion..."
Mo Jiecheng closed his eyes. He felt extremely regretful at this moment, but he could not hold back the words.
He seemed to have made a decision in his heart, and when he opened his eyes, his tone had become extremely cold.
"You feel that the princess is not favored, and that you have the power of housekeeping granted by the queen, so that you can override the princess. I will deprive you of the power of housekeeping and give it to the princess. I will personally tell my mother about this. matter."
"As for you, if you have nothing to do, just stay in the courtyard and don't come out. I am afraid that you will get in the eyes of the princess."
After Mo Jiecheng said this coldly, he walked to Ji Wanrong's Chuyun Garden.
Gu Mingyue's originally smug expression had completely disappeared at this moment, and Mo Jiecheng's cold words echoed in her mind.
Her eyes suddenly lost sight, and she collapsed to the ground as if her soul had been taken away.
Ji Wanrong didn't know what happened at the gate of the palace.
When she returned to Chuyun Garden, she immediately wrote a letter to Fu Tingxue, agreed with her on the time for Princess Virgin's first surgery, and used a bone whistle to summon a crow and send the letter away.
If a time for Virgin's treatment had been agreed upon, it would have been impossible for Mo Jiecheng not to let her out in order to get along with the eldest princess.
The most he can do is go with her and keep a close eye on her.
As long as one thinks of the rumors that the eldest princess suffered today, it is very likely that Mo Jiecheng deliberately released the news in order to prevent her from reconciling.
Ji Wanrong felt a little sick in his heart.
This guess made her feel stuck in her throat.
As soon as Ji Wanrong sent the huge crow away, he heard footsteps coming from outside the house.
Her hands on the window trembled, then she quickly closed the window and pressed it against the window sill.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Jiecheng was seen opening the door.
He naturally took off his armor and walked towards Ji Wanrong.
The two of them were alone in a room, and Ji Wanrong became even more defensive.
Mo Jiecheng looked at Ji Wanrong's solemn expression and knew that she was on guard against him. Every time she saw him, she looked like a kitten with fried fur.
He sighed slightly, without hesitation, and walked towards Ji Wanrong without hesitation.
"I have confiscated Gu Mingyue's housekeeping rights and told her to stay in the yard and not to walk around. I will make it clear to my mother and give you the housekeeping rights."
As Mo Jiecheng spoke, he pressed Ji Wanrong in front of the window sill, casually stretched out his hand and tucked the strands of hair behind her ears.
The two of them knew each other so well that they seemed like an old married couple, and it was as if nothing had ever happened.
Only Ji Wanrong knew that there was a gap in his heart, a gap that the two of them could never cross.
"What, you're not happy with this?"
Seeing that Ji Wanrong didn't speak, Mo Jiecheng asked again.
"She said I used my power to bully others, aren't you bullying her even more?" Ji Wanrong said casually, pushing her body back, not wanting to be so close to him.
"As long as you are happy." Mo Jiecheng ignored Ji Wanrong's movements, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows.
Ji Wanrong didn't know how he could behave like a normal person so quickly.
"As long as I stay in the palace for the rest of my life, I will never be happy." Ji Wanrong said very seriously this time.
"That can't be helped. You have to be in the palace." Mo Jiecheng's face was calm and his voice was light. He seemed to have a chance of winning.
Ji Wanrong thought of what happened in the eldest princess's mansion today, took a deep breath, and then asked her suspicions.
"Then you will do whatever it takes? Just like when Jian Qing was tortured in the main hall before, you will do whatever it takes to hurt the people around you to achieve your goal."
Ji Wanrong asked tactfully, and his words were full of profound meaning, but Mo Jiecheng smiled: "I will not hurt you, everything else is just the lesser of two evils."
Ji Wanrong was completely disappointed.
For the first time, she felt that the person in front of her was so callous and ruthless. He had treated others like this before, and he would treat her like this in the future.
She slowly lowered her eyes, unwilling to look at him.
But Mo Jiecheng pinched Ji Wanrong's chin and forced her to raise her head: "What's wrong? You're not happy."
"You have no idea what I want, and you don't know what you did wrong." Ji Wanrong raised his chin, but his tone was still calm.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Please accompany me to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. I will not take Gu Mingyue with me. I will make it clear in front of my mother that I will never marry Gu Mingyue again."
"I will never have any contact with Ji Yunyao again in the future."
His voice was gentle, and the hot breath slowly hit Ji Wanrong's ears, making Ji Wanrong feel that everything in front of him became unreal.
She raised her eyes firmly: "I want to be free."
Mo Jiecheng seemed to not understand her words: "Let's have a baby, now, okay?"
He spoke tenderly, and his slender fingers unbuttoned Ji Wanrong's collar bit by bit.
